"I heard that the young master of the Bai family is five big and three thick, when you are seven years old, no matter how good your body is, how can you be the opponent of a young man?

Don't you think it's weird? ”

Tao Yaoyao felt strange when she first heard about this incident, but now after hearing what happened, she felt more and more strange, "Will there be an autopsy for the young master of the Bai family later?" ”

"Yes. That man is now a squire in the Criminal Department. ”

Wait a minute, a servant can still be a waiter.

Xie Lan saw her doubts and explained, "This Lord Huang is a capable person, and because of his poor family, he had to find someone to learn the errand of apprenticeship.

Later, his family situation was better, and he was unwilling to spend his life down, so he was admitted to the fame of Xiucai, and coincidentally, that year, he saved the queen mother who went up the mountain to worship the Buddha, so he was promoted to the middle waiter of the criminal department. ”

I see.

But Tao still felt that something was wrong.

"How long did it take for this Lord Huang to be promoted?"

Xie Lan squinted and looked at her, "You doubt him?" ”

"Yes." Tao Yaoyao admitted, "I always felt that something was wrong with this matter, and with the experience of this Lord Huang after that, I became more and more sure of my suspicions."

Lord Wang, in fact, you also have some doubts. ”

If it weren't for that, he would interrupt her from the moment she opened her mouth to talk about it, and then come up with evidence to prove that this matter had nothing to do with Lord Huang.

But not only did he not do so, but he also told her about Lord Huang's experience over the years.

"When the accident happened back then, you were still young, and a lot of things happened after that, so you shouldn't have the heart to think about it so much. But I can see that you've been investigating the events of that year lately.

I guess I found something. ”

Yes, Xie Lan did re-investigate the incident back then, and also found some clues, but he didn't plan to tell her.

Tao Yaoyao said, "We only have two days left, you really don't want to know, what was the truth back then?" Don't you want revenge?

You used to have a lot of time and some things to take your time, but now that you have only two days left, will you still be merciful to your enemies? ”

Xie Lan was silent.

Tao Yaoyao got up and said, "It's not early, let's go to eat first, and then go to open the coffin for an autopsy." I have a different temperament from you, and if someone else hurts me, I want to return it tenth, or on the spot.

In my opinion, if I didn't take revenge on the spot, even if I broke his leg later, it would still not be happy.

The reason why you live so depressed is because of your sense of responsibility, you learn from me, the most important thing is to be happy, as for others, what does it have to do with you?

You used to think it through, but what happened?

Who really thought about you? If you want to keep a reputation as a good person, then you shouldn't have heard what I just said. ”

Tao Yaoyao turned around to find the ladder, only then did he remember that he was picked up by Xie Lan, and turned around to look for him, only to feel that there was a warm wrist around his waist through his waist, and then his hand held her waist, and then jumped, and the two fell into the alley.

There is a wonton shop not far from Xie's house, and when I come to serve a bowl of hot wontons in the cold morning, I feel that the whole person has come to life.

After a busy night last night, she was already hungry, and now that she has something to eat, she lowered her head and concentrated on eating, and even Xie Lan didn't notice that this wonton shop had a good business, and it was full of people not long after they came in.

In the bustling crowd, the silence of the two of them seemed unusually strange and unsociable.

Fortunately, they are all used to getting along with each other in this way, and they don't feel embarrassed. At this time, two people came to the next table, both of them were dressed as scholars, and while waiting for the wontons to be served, the two discussed the king.

"It is said that the emperor's favorite was this prince, if it weren't for the sudden death of his mother's concubine, the king of England left Kyoto City in a slump, and not long after the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and died, I am afraid that he is now sitting in this position."

"Who would have thought that the dignified King of England would become a famous wine Qingzi after leaving the palace. His ability to make poisons, mechanics, and tempering weapons is one of the best in the world. In case Your Majesty is jealous of him, what is in his mind......"

The two of them didn't talk loudly, just enough for the two of them to hear. Tao Yaoyao subconsciously looked at Xie Lan, Xie Lan lowered his head to eat, but his furrowed eyebrows betrayed his emotions at this time.

Coming out of the wonton shop, Tao Yaoyao spoke, "Actually, you and I both know that the moment the King of England appeared in the palace, he was destined to no longer be able to live the peaceful life he used to have. He re-entered this quagmire because of me, so I won't die without help. ”

Tao Yaoyao was telling him that even if she only had two days left, she would still return to the palace and help Jiu Qingzi escape.

"But what I promised you, I will do." Tao Yaoyao looked at him, "Do you know where the ancestral grave of the Bai family is?" ”

Xie Lan looked at her, "You don't have to be like this. ”

Tao Yaoyao felt that he was ink, so he simply called Changfeng, and after Changfeng glanced at his master, he said a location. After learning that the ancestral tomb of the Bai family was not far from here, Tao Yaoyao pulled Xie Lan into the carriage.

"Why, the Xie family, which was harmed by the Bai family, was beheaded, are you just digging his son's grave?"

Tao Yaoyao was annoyed by Xie Lan's expressionless face.

Xie Lan is not afraid of the Bai family, he just doesn't want Tao Yaoyao to get involved in this matter, "This is the Xie family's business, when you get over there, you stand by and watch, don't move anything." ”

Tao Yaoyao felt that he was rigid, but he did not refuse again.

An hour later, the carriage came to the foot of the mountain, and Changfeng came over to remind Tao Yaoyao, "The ancestral tomb of the Bai family is guarded, but the little one has already knocked them unconscious just now." Childe and Miss went straight in. ”

When Tao Yaoyao and Xie Lan came over, the guards had already dug up Bai Ziye's grave, and when Xie Lan stood aside and watched, Tao Yaoyao looked around, this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the trees are flourishing, even if she doesn't understand feng shui, she can see that the feng shui here is good.

It's a pity that the mind is not right, and no matter how good feng shui is, there is no way to make the family prosperous forever.

"Childe, I've dug up the coffin."

Changfeng came over to pray, and Tao Yaoyao took the first step, "Open the coffin." ”

After the guards opened the coffin, Tao jumped into the tomb to prepare for an autopsy. Bai Ziye has been dead for more than ten years, and the corpse has long since become white bones, Changfeng wonders how to check it like this. Tao Yaoyao lay down beside the coffin with a serious face, examining the bones piece by piece.

Xie Lan stood aside, helping her take down the bones from time to time, and the two didn't say a word from beginning to end, but they had a tacit understanding.

An hour later, Tao Yaoyao found the cause of Bai Ziye's death.

"Look at where this bone is placed." Tao Yaoyao pointed to Xie Lan, "This position was originally the chest cavity, and there was no bone in the chest cavity, but now, there is an extra bone in his chest cavity." And this is the reason for his death.

If I'm not mistaken, he had a conflict with someone before he met you, and that person should have hit him in this position.

But when the bones are just transferred here, they don't kill people, that is, he can still be saved, but when he meets you later, you can kill him even if you push him gently. ”

I see.

It's been more than ten years, and the doubts that lingered in Xie Lan's heart have finally been lifted, but everything is already wrong, if he appeared earlier, if he ......

"Come on, cover the coffin and carry it back to Kyoto City." After Xie Lan finished speaking, he pulled Tao Yao and flew up.

Tao Yaoyao thought that he would let people rebuild the cemetery, and when he heard this, he smiled happily.

She actually knew very well that Xie Lan was not unable to do this, but unwilling, because he said that in this matter, the real beneficiary is His Majesty, he cares about this family affection, and he hopes that His Majesty can find out with his conscience one day.

However, how could a ruthless and ruthless person suddenly find out with his conscience?

Even if she really waited for that day, she didn't feel that all the Xie family wanted was an apology.

Therefore, Xie Lan was reluctant to take this step, and she came. It should be regarded as repaying him for protecting her during this time.

An hour later, the guards of the Dingbei Palace, carrying a corpse, swaggered through the noisy and lively street and went straight to Dali Temple, Xiao Shuo had just come back, and was about to take a break when he heard that Xie Lan was carrying the coffin.

He was worried that something was going on, so he came out to check as soon as possible, and after learning that it was Bai Ziye in this coffin, his face changed greatly.

"Lord Wang, this happened many years ago, even if you want to re-investigate, you can't go and pick up other people's graves." Why did you carry the coffin over if you picked it up, if you let the Bai family know, this would be another big trouble.

The trouble in the palace has not been solved yet, and now there is such a trouble, Xiao Shuo feels that the whole person is not good.

Yu Guang swept over Tao Yaoyao and sighed, "Did you propose it?" ”

After Tao Yaoyao nodded, he stopped talking, waved his hand and asked the guards to go to the Bai family to call someone, and he asked people to carry the coffin to the court, when the three of them entered, Xiao Shuo couldn't help but say two words to Tao Yaoyao, "I told you before, don't get involved in this matter, why don't you listen?" ”

If you don't listen to his persuasion, forget it, you actually went to Xie Lan to pick up other people's graves, what is this called.

"Lord Xiao, since you know the case, you should know that if you don't open the coffin for an autopsy, there is no way to prove the innocence of the prince, there is no way to prove the innocence of the prince, and there is no way to clear the grievances of the Xie family."

"The Xie family is guilty of rebellion, even if this matter proves that it has nothing to do with the prince, it doesn't mean anything."

Xie Lan, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "This king has evidence to prove the innocence of the Xie family. ”

What? Lord Xiao looked at Xie Lan in surprise. But after thinking of something, he shook his head silently and entered the court.

As soon as Prime Minister Bai Cheng came down from the court and was about to eat, the housekeeper hurriedly ran in, and shouted as soon as he entered the door, "Master, madam, it's not good, the grave of our eldest young master has been picked up, not only that, but the coffin has also been carried to Dali Temple."

Now the officials of Dali Temple have come over and want to invite the master to come over. ”

What?

Prime Minister Bai is now a popular person around the emperor, since the fall of the Xie family and the dominance of the Bai family, in the past ten years, the Bai family has been smooth, and Prime Minister Bai has been touted by everyone.

"Who did it?"

"Returning to my lord, yes...... It is the king of Dingbei. ”

Xie Lan?

It was him.

"King Dingbei, what is this going to do? Back then, because of the midnight incident, he buried the entire Xie family, and he still felt unwilling, now is this going to dig his own grave again? Old Madam Bai looked at Prime Minister Bai with a gloomy expression, "Master, it is impossible for him to do this for no reason, does he know something?" ”

Prime Minister Bai also had this intuition, put down his chopsticks, got up and walked out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Bai chased after her, "Do you want your son to accompany you?" ”

Speaking of that unfilial son, Master Bai's face sank a little again, "He went over, it's not enough to make trouble for me, okay, you take care of the people at home, as long as they don't make trouble for me, the old man is grateful to them." ”

Master Bai got into the carriage and went to Dali Temple. Old Madam Bai turned around and went back to the house, looking for someone to find her son and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Bai only gave birth to such a son in her life, but she was the most unproductive, she spent all day drinking, not learning and not knowing, but she didn't expect that the son she gave birth to was the same as him, and now he is over half a hundred years old and has achieved nothing.

Seeing that this family was finally going to be handed over to the concubine, she was angry and helpless.

"Mother." The husband and wife came one after the other, obviously they were husband and wife, but they were unusually cold, from the time they came in to the time they sat down, the two did not communicate at all.

The old lady saw it, but said nothing.

What should be said and what should not be said, she said it in the early years, since it is useless, why waste her tongue.

"Is Hua'er going to end? If he can win this time, my mother will ask your father to consider letting him inherit our family business. ”

Bai Zihua is the concubine of the big house, Mrs. Bai only gave birth to Bai Ziye a son, after Bai Ziye died, she also gave birth to a child, but because of her frailty, she died not long after birth.

Now there are only two concubines in the big house. Bai Zihua is free and diligent and studious, no different from his father at all, and he is also the only hope of Dafang, but he is still too young, only fourteen years old, and his master is seventy-five this year. I'm not in good shape, so I don't know how long I can last......

"It's all about the mother."

Neither of them had an opinion on this arrangement. In fact, even if they have opinions, it is useless, Mrs. Bai has no son, even if this family falls into the hands of the master, the position of the final head of the family is also the child under the name of the master.

So she wasn't interested in the subject.

In comparison, Master Bai naturally hopes that this family can fall into his hands, so that he can live a few years of leisure. If this family falls into the hands of his brother-in-law, it will be a lot more difficult for him to do anything in the future.

"Just now Dali Temple sent news that the grave in midnight was dug up, and the coffin is now carried to Dali Temple......"

Bang dang. The teacup in Madame Bai's hand fell to the ground and quickly shattered into pieces. She looked at the old lady nervously and uneasily, "Mother, what's going on." My son has been dead for so many years, even if I have a grudge against him, I can't dig a grave. This is unlucky. ”
