29 Chasing the past and dying suddenly is a mystery
For Xie Yixiang, how to deal with the murder case in Bifu, although she has some signs, she has no bottom in her heart after all. Fortunately, she came to Bifu this time to be embarrassed by "not being right", and at this time, she had bluffed the past with the help of Chang Daren and Song Shenjiang, and she could be regarded as participating in the case in a grand manner, and confirmed the identity of "criminal arrest room case handling and arresting head".
As for what she said just now, it was actually all nonsense, but she couldn't help but say it, otherwise with such a little girl as herself, how could she convince everyone? Sure enough, after three months of suffering, Bi Changxiao was already extremely tired of this case, and after listening to Xie Yixiang's words, he actually raised his spirit again. He immediately glanced around at everyone present and said, "Since I have to tell the case again, then let's start with me according to the old rules." ”
At that moment, Bi Changxiao cleared his throat and said slowly: "This time, King Heng was killed in my mansion, but I have to start from the beginning. More than 20 years ago, when my father and uncle of the Xie family followed the current emperor in Jiangnan and rebelled against the alien races of the previous dynasty, I served in the army with this Heng king. Therefore, even after the death of my father, until now I live on the Longdong Mountain in this Shu region, King Heng will have a letter of greetings every year, and he will send people to send a lot of gifts during the New Year's holidays. ”
Bi Changxiao's opening remarks, although he deliberately flaunted his friendship with King Heng, also proved that there were indeed frequent contacts between the two. If you look at it from this point, it would not be surprising if King Heng really came to Bifu this time.
As for the past of the emperor and Xie Fengxuan and Bi Wuzong, Xie Yixiang, as a child of the Xie family, is very clear. At that time, these three people met as a poor and white body, and later became a marquis and a general, and even sat in the world, creating a prosperous era of this dynasty, even if their relationship is not as good as Liu Guanzhang's "Taoyuan Three Knots", I am afraid that it is not much different. There was a widely circulated banned book in the world, called "The Legend of Jianghu Hawkers", the opening chapter of the three bandits of Shaohua Mountain who robbed their homes and houses, and their names were alluding to the emperor, Xie Fengxuan and Bi Wuzong, so they were listed as banned books by the imperial court. But it can also be seen that although the emperor and Xie Bi are different from each other, their friendship with each other is indeed not shallow.
Later, the emperor's eldest son, even married Xie Fengxuan's eldest daughter Xie Xunfang as the wife of the main family, which can be described as a kiss. In contrast, the friendship between Bi Wuzong's eldest son, Bi Changxiao, and the emperor's eleventh prince, King Heng, was a matter of course, and it was not even worth mentioning.
However, when Bi Changxiao told this past, few people were listening, obviously tired of hearing his words. As soon as Bi Changxiao's conversation box opened, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Speaking of which, there is only this King Heng, who has always valued my Bi family very much, and has never treated us badly. Alas, since my father died violently in the army, I know that the world is warm and cold, and everyone knows what the emperor has done, so I don't need to say more......"
But Bi Yixiao suddenly interjected and said: "My father died of illness in the army at the age of forty. As a child of the Bi family, I would like to state here that my father was indeed suffering from a hidden illness because of his cultivation of the 'Heavenly Dragon Battle Spirit', and his anger accumulated over time. Since my brother was in the army at the time and was away from home for many years, he did not know much about his father's illness, but I served under my father's knees day and night. Regarding this matter, Mr. Ouyang can testify. ”
That Ouyang Cha immediately snorted coldly and said, "Yes, I have dissuaded you many times back then, telling your father not to use the 'Heavenly Dragon Battle Intent' anymore, and he needs to stay at home to recuperate." Who knew that he had rested for less than a month, and Xie Fengxuan came to the door in person with the emperor's will to invite him, but your father couldn't shirk it, so he agreed to continue to lead the army on the march, and finally died on the march!"
Hearing this, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but gasp. At that time, the emperor had just recovered the south of the Yellow River, and was preparing to wave his army across the river and capture the former Beijing division in one fell swoop, but Bi Wuzong suddenly said that he was sick and went home, but it turned out that it was because of this. That's why later, my father brought himself and my eldest sister to Bifu as guests, but in fact, he sent a decree for the emperor, asking Bi Wuzong to re-approve the iron armor and go into battle to kill the enemy. It's a pity that she was young at the time, and the nightmare caused by the statue of Guan Gong in the front yard, so she knew the details at this moment.
However, Bi Yixiao suddenly mentioned this, Xie Yixiang thought about it for a while, and immediately understood her intentions. I think Bi Yixiao didn't want everyone to misunderstand, thinking that Bi Wuzong's so-called "violent death in the army" back then was really like the world's rumors of "all the birds are flying, and the good bow is hidden", which is the poison hand of the emperor, so Bi Wuzong's children will avenge their father and take this opportunity to kill the emperor's eleventh prince, King Heng.
In fact, there is no need for Bi Yixiao to deliberately emphasize, no matter how hasty Bi Changxiao is, no matter how ignorant the people of the Bi family are, they will never be stupid enough to murder King Heng in their own mansion, so wouldn't they get into trouble? Just like now, the entire Bi Mansion was banned, and everyone was listed as the object of suspicion.
Bi Changxiao also understood Bi Yixiao's meaning, and immediately said: "Yes, what kind of bird is hidden, it is simply the nonsense of the world! Regardless of the fact that my father was suffering from a hidden disease, when my father died violently, it was clear that the strong enemy had not been eliminated, and the world had not yet been unified, no matter how ungrateful the emperor was, how could he murder my father at this time?" After a pause, he added: "The reason why I am dissatisfied with the emperor's actions is that the emperor has snubbed my Bi family after my father's death. As for my father's violent death, I never suspected that it was the emperor's murder. ”
You must know that Bi Yixiao's words can be said to be the way of officialdom, and they are extremely obscure and stop at the point. Who knew that Bi Changxiao's opening immediately pierced the matter, and said it so explicitly, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but sigh secretly. At that moment, she turned her head to look at Master Chang beside her, and saw that Lord Chang's face was also a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "Zheng Guogong, the so-called justice is in the hearts of the people, and General Bi's past, there is no need to mention it now." Let's talk about the good case. ”
Bi Changxiao sighed again, his face was extremely gloomy, obviously remembering his late father, but he didn't know if he was mourning the untimely death of his deceased father, or regretting that the Bi family had lost such a great general. After half a ring, he returned to the truth and continued: "As Fang Cai said, King Heng and I are old friends. At the beginning of this year, King Heng suddenly sent a letter, saying that he had something important to discuss with me, and then he would come to Shu to interview me in person. After I received the letter, I wrote three replies asking for details, but I never received a reply from King Heng, and I don't know what his so-called 'important matter' is. Later, I also sent people to King Heng's residence to inquire face-to-face, but who knew that the people came back to restore their lives, but they said that they had never been able to see King Heng. ”
Xie Yixiang was amused when she heard this, and said secretly: "Who in Jinling City doesn't know King Heng's ambitions? The so-called 'important things', but I am afraid that they are not subordinate, and they want to form gangs everywhere. It seems that this brother of the Bi family is really not suitable for getting involved in his official career, and in this situation, he actually dares to speak outright about his friendship with King Heng, and keeps saying that King Heng has something "important" to come to him for discussion. ”
I only heard that Chang Daren hurriedly said: "If it is peaceful today, where will there be any important things?" Like the friendship between Zheng Guogong and King Heng, the reunion of old friends, drinking and chatting, this is the important thing. Xie Yixiang was even more amused when she heard it, this Chang Daren was really "dedicated to his duties", and he was defending the Bi family from beginning to end, but it was a pity that Bi Changxiao, Lord Zheng Guogong, did not appreciate it, and there was always something going on.
Fortunately, at this moment, the people of Bi Fu had already sent the sour plum soup ordered by Bi Yixiao and put a bowl in front of everyone. I saw a few boxy pieces of Xiaoice floating in the jet-black soup, and there was a little cold, which was really a good thing to relieve the heat in summer, and Xie Yixiang couldn't help but feel the bottom of her tongue. Who knew that when she picked up the bowl and smelled it, it was just like when she was drinking tea in the teahouse in Pioneer Village before, and she inexplicably smelled a trace of blood in her heart, and immediately lost her appetite, so she had to put it back on a few cases.
Nabi Changxiao drank the sour plum soup in the bowl in one go, and continued: "Although King Heng never heard from him later, one night three months ago, that is, the night after the post minister of the Sword Pavilion Post Station received King Heng for the night, King Heng and his personal guards suddenly came to visit and knocked on the door of Bifu overnight. At that time, it was received by the Fu steward himself, and he invited King Heng and his guards to the present antechamber, and immediately informed me. Unexpectedly, when I tidied up my clothes and rushed to the front hall, I only saw the guard who came with King Heng, but King Heng was no longer there. According to the guard, King Heng wanted to rest early because of the fatigue of the journey, and he had been taken to the guest room by the butler Fu, and he would talk about it tomorrow. Alas, I didn't think much of it at the time, but that very night, this murder had happened, and by the time I saw King Heng again, his head had been cut off by the murderer, leaving only a headless corpse. ”
Hearing this, Xie Yixiang's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help but blurt out and ask, "What......? Didn't you see King Heng himself at all?"
Bi Changxiao was stunned for a while, nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
