Chapter 114: Tracking down the murderer
Blue sky, sunny day.
A hint of wind, blowing through the willow green and red, like a tide rolling in the sky, teaching people to see is not too real, touching the eyebrows, disappearing.
In the huge Xue Mansion, it was all covered in white, and the mourning flags swayed slightly. The white silk in front of the door blocked the golden silk sandalwood plaque, and the big characters of platinum were strong and powerful, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, dazzling in the sunlight.
The housekeeper Xue Hai was dressed in a white mourning dress and greeted every distinguished guest who came after.
Xue's mansion is crowded, crowded and congested.
A tall figure wearing a hat and a veil covering his face stood in the crowd and swept in front of the Xue Mansion. The slender eyebrows are delicately combed on a pair of translucent big eyes, faintly revealing a hint of coolness. Seeing the new lily under the scarf, it is amazingly white, I am afraid that it is the reason why I have not sunbathed for a long time, but I happened to be born in this man, not only does not have a trace of a woman's delicateness, but also has a little more evil spirit.
Jian Yi finally heard Li Wangchen's smile, and when he came to this prosperous Liangjing, Li Wangchen suddenly disappeared.
It took a lot of time to find him along the way. Jian Yiyi planned to leave here, but he heard that the body of Xue Pingzhi, who was killed by Li Wangchen, was transported back, and it was expected that Xue Gan, the prime minister of Chen Guo, only had one heir under Xue Ping's knees, but he died in the hands of Li Wangchen, how could he be willing to stop?
This is a good thing for Jian Yi, if you want to find Li Wangchen, you can use Xue Gan's hand.
Jian Yi was thinking about it when he suddenly heard an incomparably gorgeous convoy coming in the distance. Like the car preaching, the style of the road Hou opened the way. On both sides there were a large number of infantry, cavalry, captains, court lieutenants, captains, generals, halberds, swords, bows and arrows, and advocacy escorts. There is a tall and majestic sedan chair, with sixteen people carrying the sedan chair, with a solemn expression.
The whole sedan chair is five feet high, the pavilion is four feet high, the depth is eight feet, the two walls of the car are carved with gold flowers, the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are carved, and the golden dragon takes off. The curtain is made of high-quality brocade cloth, and the curtain is pendant with pearls and tassels, all of which are mainly yellow. The flag is unfurled, the canopy is fluttering, the drum music is noisy, and the momentum is magnificent.
The carriages and horses were full of honor, and the people on both sides of the road bowed down to the sedan chair.
Such a prevalent convoy is not the handiwork of today's saints, who else would it be?
Jian Yi also followed the passers-by to avoid the avenue, holding the sword in both hands, and glanced at the gorgeous team indifferently, with a little disdain in his eyes. turned around and walked away, striding meteors, with a cold aura that people dare not approach, and a touch of loneliness.
He was always alone.
Mu House.
Mother Xue took Mu Yici's hand, followed by the four maids, and walked slowly in the garden.
Mu Yici was dressed in an emerald green long gauze and Luo skirt that she would have time to change in the future, lined with an elegant and graceful figure, charming and colorful. Even if the maid who followed behind saw it, she couldn't help but be attracted by the beauty of this new sixth young lady.
In the garden, there is a tall lilac flower, and the branches are luxuriant. Lilacs are as small as dings, countless small flowers come together, a, purple in the white, white in the powder, look at it from afar, the flowers are like clouds, the flowers are like the sea, the flowers are like the sun. In addition, there are beautiful flowers such as begonias, orchids, evening chrysanthemums and other beautiful flowers quietly blooming, fragrant and elegant.
After experiencing what happened just now, Xue Mu showed a look of love, and greeted Mu Yici with warmth and care. Mu Yici had a warm smile on his face and couldn't stop nodding. In fact, she knew very well that the reason why Mother Xue cared so much about her was for the child in her womb.
The wind blows gently, the fragrance of lilacs hits the face, the aroma is strong, and the heart is intoxicating. Mu Yici couldn't help but take a few more breaths, right now, it should be the time for her to relax the most.
However, at this time, Xue Hai ran over in a panic, and said breathlessly: "Madam, the Holy Lord has arrived!"
As the head of the Mu Mansion, Xue Hai is also a figure with a head and face in this Liang Jing, standing in front of the Xue Mansion in person, greeting every guest who arrives, and everyone gives him a little thin noodles. But when he saw the gorgeous Chen Jun army from afar, he was timid.
The identity of a general manager is naturally not able to welcome the arrival of the Holy Master.
Mother Xue was also taken aback, this Emperor Zhao is still young, timid as a mole, cowardly and incompetent, he has been in the palace for sixteen years, and he has never dared to go out of the palace one step, how can he come out of the palace to Xue Mansion openly today?
As soon as I remembered Emperor Zhao's words in the court yesterday, Xue Qian vomited blood and was bedridden. Xue Mu suddenly had an epiphany, this Emperor Zhao was probably enduring humiliation and hiding it deeply. The purpose of coming to Xue Mansion this time is by no means as simple as hanging sacrifices. Since this is the case, let him eat a closed door and leave in a hurry.
"Take over!"
Xue Mu's expression tightened, and she quickly kept up with Xue Hai's pace. A strange smile appeared on Mu Yici's face, and he followed with a light lotus step.
In front of the Mu Mansion, everyone was expelled by the army, and as a father-in-law with a dust-wiping hand cleared his throat and shouted, "The Holy Lord has arrived", the sedan chair carried by sixteen people was carefully put down.
Xue Mu, Wei Bugui and a group of entourages hurriedly walked out, bowed respectfully, and said in unison: "Welcome to the Holy Lord!"
The gorgeous brocade curtain pearl glittered and flowed bright yellow, pouring the holy breath of the ground. The father-in-law bowed down to open the curtain, and a young man of fifteen or sixteen, with long hair and a nine-year-old crown, walked out of the gorgeous sedan chair.
The bright yellow robe was embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea, and the sleeves of the robe were carried high by the wind under the turbulent golden waves at the corners of the robe. The black jade-like pupils shimmered with a warm brilliance, and the green face reflected the morning light, with the inherent luxury. The whole human body is not the momentum of a king who is mighty in the world, but an incomparably approachable scholarly atmosphere.
After getting off the sedan chair, Emperor Zhao first looked at the plaque at the gate of the Mu Mansion before he spoke: "Mrs. Xue, please get up!"
Emperor Zhao personally went to help Xue's mother, but he smelled a fragrance wafting from the wind, very light, but very good.
Emperor Zhao, who has lived in the palace since he was a child, has naturally smelled countless flower perfume powders, but he has never smelled such a good fragrance, and with curiosity, he moved his gaze to Mu Yici behind Xue Mu.
In the crowd, she seemed so outstanding.
is not dressed in plain silk like all the maids and Zheng Feiyan, but is dressed in an emerald green tulle like a hookah, which sets off the smooth and jade skin and the obscene clothes inside. She lowered her head slightly, Emperor Zhao couldn't see her face clearly, but judging from her graceful figure, this woman must be a beautiful embryo.
Emperor Zhao didn't take it to heart, and after helping Xue Mu up, he called everyone up.
With a grateful smile on her face, Xue Mu said, "The prime minister is bedridden and can't greet him personally!"
Emperor Zhao didn't care, and said solemnly: "Xue Aiqing has worked hard for the country and the people, and has worked hard." I also heard that Xue Aiqing was seriously ill and came to visit. ”
"Thank you for your concern, please take a break from the Saint's Mansion!"
Mother Xue hurriedly invited Emperor Zhao into the mansion.
Emperor Zhao nodded and walked slowly. Walking past Mu Yici, Mu Yici raised his head slightly. Looking at each other, Emperor Zhao's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but breathe a little faster.
That was the moment of eye contact, Mu Yici showed some panic on his face, frowned slightly, and hurriedly leaned over, a trace of shyness appeared on his face, and he was heartfelt.
Emperor Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look again. But I saw that Mu Yici's face was as full as a silver basin, and his lips were pursed slightly, and his lips were red. Qiong's nose is frivolous, her eyes are overflowing, and her noble look is naturally revealed from her face. Although it is not as amazing as it is, it also follows the charm between the eyebrows, a little less green, a little more charming, quite seductive.
This time she looks like a flustered little girl, which makes people have to marvel at her elegant and elegant and noble and charming light.
Emperor Zhao couldn't help but ripple in his heart, and he was really a woman who taught people to like her. couldn't help but glance at Mu Yici twice, Emperor Zhao retracted his mind and stepped into the mansion with Xue Mu.
The smell of incense in the house was strong, and Xue's mother ordered the maid to put two more sandalwood burners in the hall, and the green smoke in the furnace curled up, and the atmosphere in the hall was depressing. Emperor Zhao sat on the upper seat, his father-in-law bowed to accompany him, and Xue Mu and Wei Bugui sat on the left and right.
The following are several wives of Xue Pingzhi, Mu Yici was among them, but he sat by the door, far away from the superior Emperor Zhao.
The crowd was silent.
Emperor Zhao, who was sitting on the top seat, didn't speak for a long time, his face was heavy, he hesitated for a long time, and he took the lead in speaking: "General Xue Pingzhi is the general I personally canonized, and it is a pity that he died in the frontier this time and died young...... In view of the fact that General Xue was brave and loyal, cut the flag, and died on the battlefield for the horse leather shroud of the border of the Chen State, General Xue Pingzhi was posthumously awarded as the marquis of the town, rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold and 1,000 horses of silk. Mrs. Xue, please mourn and change. ”
"Thank you, Holy Lord, but ......"
Xue Mu stood up from the chair, with a trace of sadness on her face, her eyes were red, she knelt straight on the ground, and begged: "But the old body wants to ask the Holy Lord to take back his fate!"
"Why?"
A trace of puzzlement appeared on Emperor Zhao's face.
"Holy Lord, you can know that the death of Ping Zhi is not a sacrifice for the country. The old man never thought that he was killed by two little thieves. The old body asks the saint to take back the success, help the old body to make the decision, track down the two murderers, and bring them to justice!"
When Xue Mu talked about the sad place, her expression was sad, and she fell to the ground, crying and wailing for a while.
Offstage, Mu Yici was silent, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
You're in control.
"Wei Bu returns, please ask the Holy Lord to make the decision for Brother Ziyun and track down the murderer!"
Wei Bugui looked stunned, knelt beside Xue Mu, and pleaded sincerely.
Mu Yici judged the situation, got up and knelt down: "Mu Yici asks the Holy Lord to be the master of the dead husband of the slave and maid." ”
Seeing this, Zheng Feiyan and the others also knelt down.
Emperor Zhao's face sank, and he had already known the news about the true cause of Xue Pingzhi's death. But can the two murderers who can take Xue Ping's head from an army of 100,000 be ordinary people?
This Xue Mu and others deliberately embarrassed him.
But if he refuses, the Xue family will inevitably seize a reason to raise troops to rebel, and when the time comes, what should he do?
Xue Gan, as the prime minister of the dynasty, was loyal and assisted him in governing the Chen State on the surface, but secretly he was actually gathering forces everywhere and constantly suppressing him. Many times, he wondered if he was a puppet of the Xue family.
He is the king of the dignified Chen country.
Emperor Zhao was at a loss, and his eyes glanced at his father-in-law beside him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Because of his advanced age, his father-in-law's whole body was rickety, his sideburns were gray, skinny, and markings were all over him, and he looked kind and amiable.
At this moment, he held the dust in his hand, slightly drooping, and when he saw the eyes handed over by Emperor Zhao, he immediately understood, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Mrs. Xue, Chen Guo has been a great master since ancient times, and he is not shocked, and he will definitely find out about this matter, and return the truth to your Xue family." ”
Emperor Zhao thought that he had heard it wrong, so he had to turn his head to look, but he saw his father-in-law's calm eyes, as if he was in his chest. But he still couldn't understand why his father-in-law looked so breezy and calm. But the words have already been said, even if he is unwilling, he can only get up and say: "Everyone is flat, I will return to the palace immediately, order someone to investigate this matter, and give Mrs. Xue an explanation!"
Xue Mu's face was overjoyed, and she glanced at Wei Bugui, and the two nodded tacitly.
"Holy enlightened, it is a blessing for me to have a monarch like you. ”
Mother Xue was helped up by Mu Yici, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and her face was full of gratitude.
"Hmm. ”
Emperor Zhao just smiled faintly, walked past Xue Mu, and glanced at Mu Yici again.
He never thought that this stunning beauty would be the "red face and troubled water" that he sent someone to secretly spread, Xue Pingzhi, who died because of her.
"Congratulations to the Holy One, pay attention to the dragon body!"
Mother Xue was supported by Mu Yici, looked at Emperor Zhao who was striding away, stopped her tears, and her old face showed a trace of unintentional viciousness.
Emperor Zhao returned with a feather.
In front of the Mu Mansion, Emperor Zhao walked onto the sedan chair with a displeased face, and angrily threw the tea set on the desk away, and the tea splashed on the ground.
The sedan chair was raised, and the battle slowed down.
Emperor Zhao couldn't sit still any longer, opened the curtain, looked at his father-in-law who was following the sedan chair with an angry face, and asked: "Mrs. Xue is so bullying, Gonggong Chen, you know that she wants to borrow my hand to help her take revenge, why do you still agree to her?"
Outside the curtain, the father-in-law looked calm and said softly: "The saint is angry, the old slave promised Mrs. Xue to track down the murderer this time, and he must have guessed this possibility." If the saint does not agree to her request, he is afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the officials, the court will be in turmoil, and the society will be in danger at that time. Since her Xue family wants a murderer, then let's give it to her. ”
"Oh, what can you do? Could it be true that you want to arrest those two mysterious people and dedicate them to the Xue family? Don't you forget, they are young, they can defeat the second elder of Guiyun, and take Xue Pingzhi's head from the army of 100,000, their origin is extraordinary, if they provoke those hidden sects, my Chen Guo is really in danger. ”
Emperor Zhao still felt that Gonggong Chen had thought too simply and agreed too hastily, making him feel as if he was carrying a heavy mountain and was out of breath.
"They, the saints can't move, but ......"
The father-in-law was unhurried and said meaningfully: "The old slave has his own way to rub the prestige of his Xue family." ”
