The sound of neat boots broke the unique quietness of the spring night. The four guards held torches to patrol the periphery of Xie Mansion. The moon and stars in the sky.
The honey-colored oil wax in the study was still burning quietly, exuding a faint aroma, and the teacups on the four-legged long table on both sides still had residual warmth, presumably the guests had not left soon, and the host Xie Yuan He was still sitting in the upper seat with his eyes closed and contemplative.
He made a mistake.
Previously, the Wang family insisted that Wang Feng's death had other hidden reasons, and applied for a re-examination of the case, but Chu Sanghuai rejected it. Even the queen's personal lobbying failed to change his mind, which gave others a feeling that the Wang family had The status in Chu Sanghuai's heart is not so unshakable.
But later he knew that he was wrong. His son and Wang Ying's son fought in the restaurant. Based on a guess without evidence, Chu Sanghuai forcibly suppressed the fact that his son was severely injured, and then ordered the punishment department. Thorough investigation, it seems that his Xie family is really behind the murder of Wang Feng.
The status of the two families is more important, and it is immediately clear that they are superior.
But how could he swallow this breath? Xie Da is his only son. Now he is comatose in bed, but Wang Yu, who beat others, is still out and about. Several clansmen are preparing to jointly submit a letter tomorrow to seek justice for Xie Da.
But before that, he had to figure out one thing - where did Xie Peng go
According to the confessions of the guards, he didn't need to be on duty on the day he disappeared, so he went back to his room early to rest. The guards on patrol did not see him come out of the room, let alone leave Xie's house. A big living person just disappeared like this. , can be described as bizarre.
Having said that, the reason why the Wang family dared to detain the dung pot on the Xie family was because of the whip mark. He had already found someone to understand it, and it was indeed very similar to Xie Peng's method, but Xie Peng disappeared at this time. There must be someone behind this, the purpose is to bring down their Xie family. You must know that Wang Feng is the uncle of the country, and the crime of murdering the royal family and relatives is not a joke. If this is true, the Xie family will be stripped if they don't die.
Under the Changxin Palace lantern, Xie Yuan's old face flickered brightly and dimly, as if he was brewing a countermeasure. Suddenly the shadow of the window flickered, and a black fog seemed to float by. He suddenly shouted alertly, "Who is it?"
The shadow stopped at the door and whispered, "Uncle, it's me."
Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and then said, "Come in."
Hearing this, the man immediately pushed open the brown-red partition door, the trees outside were shadowed, and the moonlight poured into the ground through the gap, reflecting the man's slender figure clearly, and I saw him walking with steady steps. After entering the room, he closed the door and bowed to Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan waved his hand, with a hint of impatience in his slightly tired look, and immediately said to him, "What are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"I'm here to help my uncle." Xie Miao slowly raised his face, his expression was very deep, like a dark pool, "I know where Xie Peng went."
"You know? Where are the others?" Xie Yuan asked repeatedly.
"He's right under the flower bed in my yard."
With a gentle and ingenious sentence, the tail sound seemed to be still floating in the air, but it seemed like a thunderstorm broke out on the ground, causing Xie Yuan to stand up suddenly, and shouted in horror and anger: "What did you say!"
Xie Miao remained calm, and repeated it in detail: "I said that Xie Peng was killed by me, and he was buried in my yard for several days."
No wonder! No wonder no one saw Xie Peng going out and couldn't find anyone else, it turned out to be his ghost!
Xie Yuan was angry, and immediately raised his voice to call the guards to take Xie Miao, but before he opened his mouth, he fell into the chair, his wrinkled hands trembled in the air for a moment, and finally he lost his strength and fell down. Then his neck stiffened, and he found it difficult to even raise his head, like a puppet with strings drawn, unable to move at all.
"Why are you?"
His face turned purple, and he squeezed out deep ravines, as if he was extremely annoyed that he was being controlled by others. Although the words that he tried to squeeze out were still alive, they were extraordinarily light and powerless, like a stone thrown into the deep sea of death, unable to lift it. Halfway up the storm.
"Should you tell me why you killed my father before I answer this question?"
A trace of fear flashed across Xie Yuan's eyes, and then he retreated into the depths in a flash, so fast that people couldn't detect it. If Xie Miao hadn't been staring at him, he would have missed this subtle emotional change.
In vain, he still had a fluke before he came, I hope it was a misunderstanding, and now it seems that he is too naive...
"Miao'er, are you crazy, how could I..."
With a thud, a steel token engraved with the Xie family emblem was thrown in front of him. It was not the kind carried by ordinary guards, but a small water drop shape, which was obviously not useful.
"In that case, why don't you explain to me why this token appeared on a woman with no power? She said it was left by her husband who was a doctor, and there were several correspondence and a If you want to see the lethal prescription, you can take it from me."
Xie Yuan's complexion gradually turned gray.
"It looks like you know this thing." Xie Miao propped his arms on the table, with deep hatred rolling in his eyes, "Speaking of which, Xie Peng is still to blame for his ineffectiveness, seeing that mother and daughter jumping off the cliff, When she came back, she unexpectedly floated down the river to a small fishing village and lived a stable life incognito. Later, she was found by the Ye family and brought back to the capital. I just talked to her a few days ago. I know what I did."
Night home!
Xie Yuan's chest was heaving up and down, as if he was extremely angry, but it was already at the end of his force.
"You... how dare you be in trouble with the Ye family..."
"I am embarrassed?" Xie Miao sneered for a while, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "You and Chu Sanghuai conspired to murder loyal ministers, this is called embarrassment! Today I will avenge my father and Master Lu!"
Xie Yuan was so terrified that he subconsciously wanted to run away, but his feet seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't take a half step. Just when he was sweating profusely, a long snow-white sash quietly wrapped around his neck.
"It's been six years, and it's time for you to go down and apologize to my father."
Xie Miao suddenly tightened the long ling, and everything went quiet after a rapid gasping sound, and this long bloody case finally drew a wet end.
the next day.
When the morning light was faint, a little eunuch hurriedly stepped into the Lingxiao Palace, the whisk on his arm swept across the screen and layers of tulle, and finally stopped outside the cloud tent, and the hazy light and shadow could vaguely see the inside. Wearing a snow-white body, with a slim waist and round buttocks, all of them exude the breath of sex.
Just as the little eunuch was stunned for a moment, a big palm suddenly stretched out from behind the bed and pinched it precisely on the beauty's chest. The beauty suddenly let out a delicate moan, and Bai Huahua's long legs immediately hooked on the man's waist, and then went down Shen, the man suddenly roared and turned over, and at this moment, the cowardly voice of the little eunuch floated into the cloud tent.
"Report to the emperor, Lord Yue asks to see you."
Chu Sanghuai roared in displeasure, "Go away! I don't see you!"
The little eunuch swallowed and said boldly, "Your Majesty, Lord Yue said that he has something urgent to report to you."
The two bodies that were moving in the tent stopped at the same time, and a dark shadow suddenly approached the bed, slammed away half of the hanging yarn, and asked in a cold tone, "What's the matter?"
"If you go back to the emperor, it's Master Xie... He hanged himself last night."
The beauty gasped in shock, Chu Sanghuai was also shocked, the color of lust and desire faded, and immediately called the palace maid to change his clothes and crown, leaving the beauty behind and hurried to the imperial study.
Yue Ting was the palace where Chen Shi entered, and he had been waiting for a long time now. After seeing Chu Sanghuai, he first held his sleeves and saluted, and then explained the whole story in great detail.
"… This is the general situation. The people from the Gyeonggi Yamen have gone to the Xie Mansion. After the autopsy, he said that he died in the middle of the night last night. There are no signs of damage to the doors and windows of the house. The guard also said that no one broke in. It is said that he hanged himself, but the strange thing is that there are also traces of strangulation on the back of his neck, which is obviously not caused by self-hanging."
"You mean... he was killed by someone?" Chu Sanghuai's long and narrow eyes flashed slightly, and the light loomed.
"It seems like this at first glance. The specific conclusion will be clear after Jing Zhaoyin presents the document."
"You bastard!" Chu Sanghuai suddenly slapped the table, obviously burning with anger, "Who even dares to kill a high-ranking rank-one, who is so daring!"
Yue Ting was unexpectedly silent, clasped his hands in front of him, and stood there quietly, wondering what he was thinking.
Chu Sanghuai looked at him inquiringly for a moment, and said, "Yue Qing, what's your opinion?"
"The matter is of great importance, the minister is not the person handling the case, and I dare not make assumptions."
dare not? His speech has always been straight, not to mention the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, even when facing himself without turning a corner, it is really strange that these two words pop up today. Chu Sanghuai thought so, and his suspicion deepened, but he slowly smiled at Yue Ting with a kind expression.
"Why don't you dare? Even if you say it bluntly, I will not blame you."
Yue Ting lowered his head and raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't have any extraordinary opinions. I just think that the case of Lord Wang has not been solved. If Lord Xie didn't commit suicide, I'm afraid that the Ministry of Punishment will not be able to recruit people to investigate."
In just a few short words, the two cases seemed to be inadvertently brought together, but Chu Sanghuai was instantly awakened - maybe it was the Wang family who wanted to take revenge and killed Xie Yuan!
His face suddenly turned cold, terrifyingly gloomy.
If it is really the Wang family, he will not be lighthearted. Here, no one can exercise the power of the emperor on his behalf.
Seeing that Chu Sanghuai had understood, Yue Ting didn't say any more. After bowing, he quietly left the imperial study and walked silently all the way to the gate of the palace. The servant was waiting outside in a carriage. Then he whispered: "Prepare an ordinary car, and I will be out of the city in a while."
The servant replied softly, and continued to wave the long whip to drive the horse towards the Yuefu. The movement was very powerful, and the muscles wrapped under the coarse cloth clothes faintly showed the outline.
