"It's just such a coincidence? It just happened that several other people had accidents?"
Zheng Baishi was a little surprised. In an honorable family like Uncle Weiyuan's mansion, if the descendants of the family are all mercenary, they will definitely fight for the family property, "Although the third son is not born of Uncle Weiyuan, but Anyway, the fourth son is born with his mother and compatriots, the two of them are still brothers—”
Asking this, Zheng Baishi sighed a little again, among the honorable clans, isn't it rare for brothers to quarrel
Zhan Yang said casually, "Except for the second young master and the fourth young master who have some bad habits in the Weiyuan uncle's mansion, there is nothing to investigate. It's just that this incident is a bit strange. The three of them were in trouble at the same time. He, the son who is not Wei Yuanbo's own, has inherited the ancestral shadow."
Zheng Baishi asked again, "What about their eldest son?"
Zhan Yang shook his head, "I didn't find out about this. It is said that he didn't bring anything with him when he left home, and neither did his servants. He asked all his relatives and friends back then, but no one saw him. I don't know. Where did you go?"
Qin Wan frowned, and suddenly had a bad thought.
This eldest son of Weiyuanbo Mansion has been away for so many years and has never been heard from again. Could it be that he went to the Western Regions
It's no wonder Qin Wan thought too much, because Taoist Zhang's words had no direction, and anyone who was suspected would be suspected by her. Qin Wan thought about it for a while, but there was no evidence or trace to prove it, so he could only do it himself. Think about it.
Zheng Baishi sighed, "A person is gone, maybe something happened outside?"
Of course no one knows about this question, Zheng Baishi waved his hand, "Forget it, let's keep an eye on it, just now His Royal Highness and the princess went to the prison to meet the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest recognized the pattern of the cinnabar painting as An evil spell in the Moon Worship Sect, those ashes, I am afraid that some paper money and runes were burned. This matter is related to the Moon Worship Sect. In addition to investigating their private affairs, we also need to investigate whether any of them have been to the west, or if they know anyone who has been to the west."
Zhan Yang was slightly surprised when he heard this, "Did that Taoist priest say what it was for?"
Zheng Baishi sighed, "It's the place where the dojo is set up, the dojo for crossing the dead, but it uses the taboo of the living, it's very evil, these people are really out of their minds..."
Zhan Yang was startled when he heard that, "Daoist Zhang should know how to set up this dojo, right?"
Zheng Baishi sighed, and Yan Chi said, "Daoist Zhang said that he can only help if the third person dies. Right now, he doesn't know what the murderer is going to do. Naturally, his words can't be trusted right now. Zhan Butou and Mr. Zheng We still have to do our best to investigate, especially for matters related to the Moon Worship Sect."
Zhan Yang nodded hurriedly, "When I visited these few days, I was also investigating the matter of the Moon Worship Sect, but very few people in the capital knew about it, but the Taoist priests at two Taoist temples outside the capital knew about it, but those two Taoist priests regarded the Moon Worship Sect It is a cult, and I hate it very much. There are no new discoveries about others. In the capital, Buddhism is the first and Taoism is second. Believe in a new sect."
The Moon Worship Sect is a small sect. Although Buddhism was also introduced from the west, it has been practiced on the Zhongzhou mainland for hundreds of years. It has long been believed by the royal family and ordinary people, especially the former royal family. Believe in the order of the Buddhist family to build Buddhist temples in the middle of the country, and the number of Buddhists has surpassed that of Taoism.
When the case in the yamen was fruitless, Yue Ning was taking two maids out to buy the summer brocade that was missing in the mansion.
The whole family of the Anyang Marquis Mansion has just come back, and there are a lot of things to be organized in the mansion. The Jiang family has been busy with this all day recently. Since Princess Taichang brought everyone back, she will never go back to Jinzhou again. The Anyang Marquis Mansion in the capital city, Naturally, it was necessary to adjust the weather. Seeing that the Jiang family was very busy, and Yue Qing was brought to visit friends by the Marquis of Anyang, Yue Ning wanted to help her mother a little bit, so the matter of buying summer silk and satin fell on today. on her shoulder.
Yue Ning was riding in a carriage, and the steward of the capital led the way with two young servants. After leaving the capital for many years, Yue Ning did not know which of the shops in the capital was good and which was bad. Only when the steward led him did he know the regulations.
When the carriage arrived in West Market, it stopped outside Jinxiufang. As soon as she got off the carriage, Yue Ning saw a familiar figure. Their carriage was parked at the back, and there was another carriage not far in front of them. At this moment, there was a slender young man standing beside the carriage. Yue Ning recognized Wei Qizhi just by looking at his back!
Although Wei Qizhi visited the Anyang Marquis Mansion, they never met each other. However, Wei Qizhi had lived in Anyang Marquis Mansion in Jinzhou for a long time, and the two were very familiar with each other. The side of the carriage stared at the door of Jinxiufang, but he didn't go in. What is he doing? !
The question in Yue Ning's heart came out, and her footsteps stopped. She looked at Wei Qizhi for a while, but Wei Qizhi still didn't move. She was about to go up to say hello to Wei Qizhi, but she saw Wei Qizhi's body suddenly moved towards the carriage. side!
Yue Ning raised her eyebrows? Who is he hiding from!
Looking up, I saw a young woman came out with a girl at the gate of Jinxiufang. Not very happy because of the purchase, Yue Ning frowned tightly, looked at Wei Qizhi, then looked at the woman, looked at this woman, then looked at Wei Qizhi, looked at it two or three times, Yue Ning Ning is sure, this Wei Qizhi is hiding next to the carriage, clearly monitoring the young woman...
In broad daylight, what is Wei Qizhi doing? !
Who is that woman? ! Wei Qizhi is a manly man, what is he doing spying on a little girl? !
Yue Ning frowned tightly, stepped forward a few steps, and slapped Wei Qizhi's shoulder heavily!
There was only one servant beside Wei Qizhi, and the two of them watched the woman come out of Jinxiufang intently. Yue Ning's slap made Wei Qizhi's eyebrows twitch in shock, and the servant beside him was even more startled. !
The boy turned around and saw a young man with clear eyebrows, he frowned, Wei Qizhi was a little annoyed at first, but when he saw the person in front of him clearly, Wei Qizhi's eyes lit up immediately!
"Princess?! Why are you here?!"
Yue Ning looked unhappy, "I still want to ask you, who is that girl? It's broad daylight, and you actually hide in the dark and spy on other girls. How is your behavior different from that of a disciple?!"
The servant next to him was not Wu Shu, and he didn't recognize Yue Ning, but when he heard that his master was called Princess, the servant was also shocked.
Knowing that he had been discovered, Wei Qizhi looked a little uncomfortable, but said, "The princess misunderstood, things are not what you think..."
"What am I thinking? What are you doing?"
Wei Qizhi's wry smile deepened, and he turned his eyes to look at the direction the woman was leaving. The master and the servant did not take the carriage, but walked along the market to the west of Minfang. Wei Qizhi was a little anxious, as if unwilling to give up Watching these two people, he cupped his hands and said, "The princess really misunderstood, this person is very important, please forgive me now, this person cannot be lost."
He was about to leave as he spoke, but Yue Ning was still in doubt. She frowned and stepped forward to stop him, "If you don't tell me, I won't let you go. There are only two other girls, you... what do you want to do?" What?"
Wei Qizhi was so helpless, "Could it be that the princess thinks I'm such a lustful person? I'm here for the Yamen case..."
Hearing that it was for the case, Yue Ning's eyes lit up slightly, "How do you say it?"
Wei Qizhi knew Yue Ning's temperament, and knew that it would be impossible if he didn't make it clear, but there was no time.
Wei Qizhi said conveniently, "The Princess let me go first, I will come to the door tomorrow and tell the Princess, how about it?"
Yue Ning rolled her eyes, glanced at the carriage, then at the direction the woman and the servants were leaving, raised her jaw and said, "I'll go with you, tell me on the way."
Then he raised his hand and asked the steward to bring his horse, Yue Ning got on the steward's horse, raised his jaw, "Aren't you leaving?"
Wei Qizhi was stunned, and then got into the carriage, and the servant was driving outside. When the carriage started to move, Wei Qizhi opened the curtain and said strangely, "Otherwise, the princess will take the carriage and I will ride the horse? Is this the opposite now?" it's..."
Yue Ning raised her eyebrows, "Just tell me what's going on, and that's all if you don't."
Speaking of Yue Ning's imperial horse approaching the carriage, Wei Qizhi smiled wryly and said, "The princess should know about the death in the capital in the past two days. His Royal Highness, the princess, and the magistrate are all investigating this case..."
Yue Ning nodded, "Of course I know." She raised her chin as she spoke, "Then who is this person?"
Wei Qizhi said conveniently, "This person is most likely the second person to die, a concubine raised outside by a teacher named Zhao Jiaxu, a wife in Zhao Jiaxu's family, and everyone thought he was a good man who didn't take concubines. Husband, but he cheated on his wife. The magistrate sent people to search for two days but couldn't find it. Today I... oh yes, the place where Zhao Jiaxu teaches happens to be at my uncle's house. I went to my uncle's house today. At that time, I saw the little girl in front of me looking around outside, and asked the boy, saying that the little girl came to ask if there was any news about the murder of Mr. Zhao, so I immediately became suspicious."
Yue Ning frowned, "If you are a maid at home, if you want to ask, you should ask the government, and you shouldn't ask the old customers."
Wei Qizhi looked at Yue Ning with a full smile, "That's right, that's right, the Princess is really smart!"
Yue Ning rolled her eyes in her heart, "Continue talking."
Wei Qizhi then continued, "At that time, I also thought like the princess, so I followed the little girl out, walked a street, and just turned the corner, only to find that the little girl was answering the girl in front, and the girl looked double-faced. Ten years old, but wearing a woman's hair bun, I immediately guessed that Zhao Jiaxu was raised outside, so I followed all the way, she came to buy things, I should go back now, I need to know where she lives Only then can we find out her identity."
After Wei Qizhi finished speaking, Yue Ning understood everything. It turned out that she really misunderstood Wei Qizhi.
Yue Ning looked ahead, the master and the servant were not walking fast, so their carriage and horses were even slower, "It's not like this girl killed the teacher..."
Wei Qizhi smiled, "Of course not, but the government is looking for clues, and those who are close to this Mr. Zhao will have to intervene. However, I'm not sure who this person is Zhao Jiaxu's. It would be good to inquire to make sure one or two, and since Zhao Jiaxu is working in his uncle's house, I will do my best."
Yue Ning glanced at Wei Qi, "So, then I misunderstood you just now, I'm sorry."
Wei Qizhi laughed indifferently, "The princess is jealous of evil. If she is really a disciple today, then the princess saved the girl once. Speaking of which, she hasn't told the princess, the princess Taichang, Lord Hou, Madam thank you, I came to see you that day, because Lord Hou and Brother Yue Qing were not there, I did not stay longer, if I hadn't recuperated in the Hou's mansion, my leg would have been destroyed..."
Yue Ning said, "I already know that the one who is kind to you is the fourth younger sister. We just did it as a convenience. You have given all the gifts, and you have done your best. I heard the fourth younger sister said that you are in the imperial business? "
Wei Qi smiled, "It's not considered an imperial merchant. I know the princess loves horses, and I don't know what to do, so I am familiar with the horse business, so I started to walk around the palace, and my aunt was in the palace. It’s also a bit more convenient, but it’s only when it’s really done that I feel distressed, not everyone in the world loves horses as much as I do.”
Yue Ning understood Wei Qizhi's intention in her heart, "Then what are you going to do?"
Wei Qizhi shook his head, "For the time being, I can't get rid of the relationship with the palace. I have built a grassland in the north, and I plan to build a carriage in the north to raise some good horses. By the way, I will give it to the princess. It is a foal born to a mare Mawang that I caught on the grassland, compared to its brother, it is the most docile, and the princess will love it when it grows up."
As soon as Yue Ning saw Wei Qizhi, she misunderstood him. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, and when she heard Wei Qizhi talk about these things, she felt very warm in her heart. Moreover, when she first saw Wei Qizhi, he was wronged for nothing. He was still framed by his brother and cousin, and his heart was full of depression. Today, Wei Qizhi is cheerful and bright, with a bright smile. When talking to him, people feel a little happier.
The two of them talked, but they walked slowly along the street for a few streets. After a while, they arrived at a remote folk square in the west. The private house in the courtyard is not big, but it is enough for the golden house to hide the beauty. Wei Qizhi wrote down the location of this courtyard, and then asked Yue Ning, "I haven't asked the princess what she is doing today. Going to Jinxiufang, do you want to buy silk and satin to make clothes?"
Yue Ning nodded. When she came here just now, she didn't bring anyone with her. The steward was going to buy silk and satin. After thinking about it, Yue Ning said, "We were all children when we left the capital, don't bother now." I live in another house, and there are still some antique calligraphy and paintings, do you know which places in Beijing are good?"
Wei Qiyi laughed when he heard that, "The princess asked me this, but he asked the right person! Since we have followed the people to the place, there is no rush for this moment, let's go, I will keep it and find something good for the princess!"
