"The prefect of Huo has brought more than a dozen yamen servants, as well as Qi Butou and Xu Wuzuo, and they have entered Dongyuan now."
Lvqi followed Yue Ning and Qin Wan, and said in a very fast voice, Song Rou's case is a haze that hangs over the Hou Mansion, now that Huo Huaixin has entered the Hou Mansion aggressively, the entire servants of the Hou Mansion are a little panicked .
Qin Wan and Yue Ning's footsteps were extremely fast. As soon as they left Yue Ning's yard, they saw a few servants outside gathering together, looking in the direction of Dongyuan and discussing something. Su hurriedly shut up.
Yue Ning glanced at these people with warning eyes, then turned to the direction of Dongyuan.
"Come here so early in the morning, I must have found out both lines."
Yue Ning's voice was serious, and Lu Qi said, "Yesterday, everyone in the second young master's yard was called in for questioning. Only after asking did they find out that the second young master did lose a robe, but the servants kept it secret and did not report it. .”
Yue Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems that the evidence is conclusive."
While talking, the two of them followed the shortcut in the mansion and were not far from Dongyuan. From a distance, they saw Yue Qiong and Jiang Shi were already there, and Yue Qing and Yue Jia were standing next to each other. Looking forward, it was too long. The princess supported Yan Chi's hand and stood at the front. Everyone stood from inside the Dongyuan to outside the Dongyuan, and there were some servants from the Hou's mansion watching.
Qin Wan's eyes sank, "It seems that Prefect Huo is in trouble."
Yue Ning frowned, and strode over. Yue Qing was the first to see Yue Ning and Qin Wan coming, and hurriedly turned around to meet them, "You are finally here. The prefect Huo brought people to arrest Wei Ergong. what's going on?"
Yue Qing went to the army every day for the past two days, and didn't know that Song Rou's case had changed. Just after finishing speaking, Yue Qing said again, "It doesn't mean that the eldest son of the Wei family has been arrested, why did he suddenly say that the two Is the son a murderer?"
Yue Ning said in a low voice, "Second brother, this matter is a long story, in short, it is not the eldest son of the Wei family who has an affair with Miss Song, and the eldest son of the Wei family does not know who that person is, and if many things are caused by Wei If the eldest son of the family did it, then it cannot be explained."
Yue Qing glanced at Qin Wan, and saw that Qin Wan's face showed no surprise, so he understood that Qin Wan knew about it, so he nodded immediately, "Okay, I understand, come and listen—"
The three of them stepped forward and took two steps forward. Princess Taichang and Yan Chi turned their heads, and Qin Wan hurriedly bowed to them.
Princess Taichang waved to Qin Wan and Yue Ning, raised her chin to signal to the front, "You two ghosts, did you already know about this?" She said and cast a reproachful glance at Yan Chi, " you know too!"
Yan Chi slightly bent his lips, Yue Ning was already hugging Princess Taichang's other arm and said, "Aren't you afraid to let grandma worry?"
Princess Taichang shook her head helplessly. From this side, Qin Wan saw the scene in the yard.
Huo Huaixin, Qi Lin stood in the middle of the courtyard, and the servants of the government office stood aside. In addition to the servants, a middle-aged man in commoner clothes was followed at the end, while Wei Yanzhi was wearing a cloak, standing there rather weakly. Outside the main entrance, at this moment, his face was both shocked and aggrieved. With a flick of his eyes, he also saw Yue Ning and Qin Wan coming, and then turned to look at Huo Huaidao. Xiaorou's people? The magistrate's words... where did he start... "
Wei Yan's face was helpless, he couldn't even laugh or cry, as if Huo Huaixin was joking with him for such a big battle.
Huo Huaixin was dressed in an official uniform today, and he clearly looked like he was here for business. It was said that his chin was the same, and his short and fat figure gave off the majesty of a magistrate, "Wei Yanzhi, don't you recognize it?"
Wei Yanzhi smiled wryly again and again, "What did the magistrate want me to recognize? I was shocked to hear that the magistrate brought the servants into the yard on the sick bed. I was still wondering if there was a change in the case and I wanted to ask the guards again, but I never thought of it." , the magistrate is actually here to take it down." Wei Yanzhi's voice became hoarse, "Master Zhifu, it's so good, where did it come from?"
After all, Huo Huaixin has gone through a lot of cases. Even though he admired Wei Yanzhi a little in the past, and even believed that Wei Qizhi was the murderer at one time, but now after investigation, he, as a parent official of Jinzhou Prefecture, does not want his official voice to be flawed, so he is naturally cautious and very reluctant. There was an unjust case in his hand, he frowned, and his voice became cold and harsh, "You told us about Wei Qizhi about Song Rou's matter. Marry the leader of the team, and the whole team will be dispatched by you. You are the one who has the best chance of harming Song Rou. Also, "Oulu Wangji" is Song Rou's favorite song, but you say you heard it from Wei Qizhi Yes, Wei Yanzhi, you thought you covered it up well and we never thought you were the murderer, but what a person has done or not done will always leave traces, you are still careless after all!"
Wei Yanzhi opened his eyes wide, looked at Huo Huaixin, and then at Princess Taichang and the others at the gate of the courtyard, with a look of astonishment and a wry smile, "Master Zhifu's words are really... what I tell Mr. Prefect is the responsibility of all the Dukes of the country." Everyone knows the matter, the magistrate only needs to ask his uncle, aunt, and grandfather, they all know about it, if it is not to cooperate with the magistrate in investigating the case, how can I tell the magistrate about it? The scandal between the Duke's Mansion and the Wei Mansion, I don't want to tarnish the reputation of the two mansions no matter what..."
After a short pause, Wei Yanzhi said again, "Also, the magistrate said that I am the leader of the wedding team and can be assigned at will, but since Xiaorou died, the two governments will probably place the responsibility on me, so why bother... As for the qin melody, many years ago, it was indeed the elder brother's favorite song. The elder brother was arrogant and did not admire official careers. What he liked was a free life. , just in line with the big brother's desire to get away from the worldly world, I don't know which piece Xiao Rou loves most, even if she also likes to play Wangji, most of the time she likes it after listening to big brother's playing."
Wei Yanzhi gritted his teeth, "My lord, since the incident happened, have you ever not cooperated with me? When did I not do my best? Now that my lord is about to close the case, why did you suddenly point the finger at me? What if I hurt Xiaorou? People, why... why do you have to do your best to help the magistrate?"
Huo Huaixin was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and seemed to remember that Wei Yanzhi did not cooperate on purpose, but thinking of what he found yesterday, Huo Huaixin sneered, "Okay, then see if anyone of you knows this person."
When Wei Yanzhi heard the words, doubts flashed in his eyes. Huo Huaixin turned his head and looked at the pair of yamen servants. Seeing this, the yamen servants hurriedly moved away, and suddenly, the middle-aged man standing at the end was revealed. The man looked ordinary and was very well dressed. Simple, when he saw this, he stepped forward, perhaps because the battle was too big, he had a bit of panic on his face.
Huo Huaixin looked at him and pointed in Wei Yanzhi's direction, "Look, who was it that asked you to buy tung oil that night?"
The middle-aged man looked up, looked in Wei Yanzhi's direction, and then pointed at Wei Yanzhi and his blue-robed guard beside him, "Yes, it was these two people. It was already three o'clock at that time, and the villain had already closed the shop. Just about to turn off the lights and take a rest, someone knocked on the door, the little man opened the door, and saw the little brother... "
The middle-aged man pointed to the blue-robed guard beside Wei Yanzhi, "The little brother came to knock on the door, but the villain saw this young man through the crack of the door. This young gentleman was standing on the side of the street, facing the villain sideways. At that time, the villain thought it was strange and took care of it, so he remembered the young master's face. The little brother said to buy tung oil when he opened his mouth. At that time, the villain only approved a coat, and the warehouse door was locked long ago. I didn't plan to sell it at all, but that little brother asked for ten taels of silver, villain..."
"Even if the villain sells it for a month, he may not be able to make a profit, so the villain went to open an oil depot to get tung oil. There are two barrels. When the villain brought it up, he glanced at the street again. At that time, the son turned around and reminded me of my little brother, and the villain remembered his face again, and the villain was sure, absolutely not admitting his mistake."
When Wei Yanzhi saw the middle-aged man appear, Wei Yanzhi still looked calm, but the blue-robed guard frowned. When the middle-aged man finished speaking, the blue-robed guard clenched his fists tightly. With Wei Yanzhi's morality and deeds, the nervousness and panic exuded from all over the body can be seen by the yamen servants.
Huo Huaixin raised his jaw, "In the middle of the night, I went to buy tung oil, but the Yizhuang caught fire that night, Wei Yanzhi, what else do you have to say, when we were on the boat the night before, only a few of us knew Miss Jiu is going to do an autopsy, and you set fire to Yizhuang in the middle of the night, just to prevent Miss Jiu from doing an autopsy? You are afraid that Miss Jiu will find evidence related to you and want to destroy the corpse, am I right?!"
Wei Yanzhi still stood upright, and his brows did not move from the beginning to the end.
Huo Huaixin said again, "On the same day when we went to Lishui Lake, the second young master in the mansion lost a blue robe, and after leaving the gate of the mansion that morning, only you, the guard, ran to the second young master's yard to borrow it. pen, and then, that night, Miss Jiu was almost hit by a falling lamp building, you were afraid that Miss Jiu would find more evidence, and you even wanted to murder Miss Jiu's life!" Huo Huaixin looked at the trembling blue robe The guard, "He was the one who pretended to be the second young master that day..."
Wei Yanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, but still didn't speak.
"Don't talk?" Huo Huaixin's face turned cold, and he ordered sharply, "Come here, take the master and servant back to the yamen prison for careful interrogation! Don't talk? The real thing is to stay silent in the prison!"
Huo Huaixin said this quickly and quickly, Wei Yanzhi frowned and was not stopped, but his blue-robed guard suddenly stepped forward and knelt down with a "plop", "Master Zhifu! It’s because I want to destroy the corpse! My son... I don’t want Miss Biao to be stigmatized after her death, and my son doesn’t want Miss Nine to find out that Miss Biao was pregnant…” The guard’s eyes turned red, and he walked a few steps along the way "The two prefectures in the capital have a very high reputation. This matter has already been suppressed in the capital. If it is investigated in this case, your lord will definitely write it in the file and report it to the Ministry of Punishment. It's all true, and everyone in the capital must know it. To protect the reputation of the Marquis Mansion, he made such a bad move, the young master will definitely not kill Miss Biao!"
The guard looked earnest, his voice grew louder, his voice became hoarse, and he kowtowed again, "Your Majesty knows clearly, the young master would definitely not dare to murder Miss Biao's life. Yizhuang is indeed... It is indeed us who burned it. The matter... is indeed done by the villain, the young master told the villain that it is only necessary to let the nine girls suffer some minor injuries, and absolutely not to kill the nine girls."
While speaking, the guard raised his head, "My lord, the villain dares not lie in every word of the truth..."
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard it, and when they went to look at Wei Yanzhi again, they saw that he closed his eyes with a sad face.
Huo Huaixin frowned, "So, you admit that it was you who set fire to Yizhuang and wanted to murder Miss Jiu? But you don't admit that you did it to kill Miss Song? How about pretending to be a ghost to scare Miss Jiu?"
As soon as the words came out, the blue-robed guard hurriedly said, "No! No! It's not Young Master. When Young Master Ye returned from His Highness Chi's place, he has been writing posts. The villains have been guarding outside. Young Master will never leave Dongyuan! "
The guard confessed and testified at the same time, his words were earnest, and he was almost crying. Huo Huaixin listened, frowning slightly.
On the other side, Yue Ning whispered to Qin Wan, "The guard's words don't seem to be false, and Wei Yanzhi, why didn't he justify himself? Does he mean to admit that he did these things?"
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that it is really for the reputation of the two governments."
Yue Ning raised her eyebrows, Qin Wan was the most suspicious of Wei Yanzhi, why did she change the subject at this moment.
Yue Ning had doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask questions immediately, she just continued to watch how the situation develops.
"Wei Yanzhi, do you agree with what your guard said?"
Wei Yanzhi opened his eyes, and there was a look of determination in his eyes. He took a deep breath, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaorou's matter is indeed a disgrace to the Duke's Mansion and the Wei Mansion. Originally, I thought Xiaorou had gone. The matter will sink forever, but I never thought that Miss Jiu's post-mortem technique is so clever, so I am worried that Miss Jiu will find out one day, so...so I was fascinated by ghosts for a while, and this will work committed injustice."
As he said that, Wei Yanzhi glanced at Qin Wan apologetically. Qin Wan frowned slightly, but there was no sign of blame on his face. The body was burnt like that, and Nine Girls still found out the truth. When the magistrate asked me to go over and answer, I knew it was not good when I heard it. Whether the words are true or not, the magistrate only needs to send someone to the capital to investigate."
Wei Yanzhi's eyes were downcast, with self-blame and guilt on his face, the Hou Mansion treated him wholeheartedly, and Qin Wan even took care of her doctor, but now everyone knows that it was his handwriting that Qin Wan was almost killed that night .
Qin Wan looked at Wei Yanzhi, and felt that he was standing alone in front of the main room door, with an inexplicable sense of loneliness and desolation covering his body. He was just thinking about his family's reputation, and he didn't think about it. Murdered whose life, in the capital, a scandal like Song Rou's will indeed make the whole capital laugh, he has a reason for doing so.
Qin Wan sighed in his heart and had to give in to Wei Yanzhi.
On this side, Huo Huaixin was also taken aback by Wei Yanzhi's appearance, then frowned and said, "You admitted this? What about Song Rou's death?"
Wei Yanzhi raised his eyes all of a sudden, "Master Zhifu, these are completely different things. Xiaorou's death is not perfect for the Duke's Mansion and the Wei Mansion. I only value the reputation of the family, why not let her marry into the family?" Why did the Hou family kill her when they established a happy relationship between the two surnames? What evidence does the prefect have that Xiao Rou was killed by me?"
Huo Huaixin was at a loss for words. He didn't seem to have any obvious evidence to prove this matter. The Yijin Jian mentioned by Qin Wan was just a suspicion of Wei Qizhi, not Wei Qizhi. Wei Yanzhi's suspicion was indeed great, but there was no Conclusive evidence proves that he is the murderer, frowning, Huo Huai is confident that he is unwilling, and said, "Although there is no direct evidence at the moment, there will always be some after investigation. You said that you went there for the reputation of the Wei Mansion and the Duke's Mansion." Burning Yizhuang always makes people suspicious."
Wei Yanzhi sighed, "I'm guilty, but Xiaorou's death has nothing to do with me. If the magistrate doesn't believe me, just arrest me and put me in prison for further investigation."
Huo Huaixin had this intention, he couldn't help snorting, "Come on, bring Wei Yanzhi—"
"Master Zhifu, Qin Wan has something to say..."
Huo Huaixin was about to order someone to be arrested, but Qin Wan, who was caught off guard, interrupted his order. Huo Huaixin looked at Qin Wan, "What's the matter with Miss Nine?"
Qin Wan took a step forward and glanced at Wei Yanzhidao, "The reputation of the family is indeed important, and the Second Young Master can understand that. As for me that night... I was not injured in the end, and the Second Young Master didn't intend to kill me either. Qin Wan thought, the escorts of the Duke's mansion are all in the Hou's mansion, if we take Mr. Wei away, it will make people's hearts unstable."
Huo Huaixin raised his eyebrows, just like Yue Ning's surprise, how could Qin Wan's words be protecting Wei Yanzhi
"Nine girls... what do you mean?"
Qin Wan lowered his jaw slightly, "I thought, the second young master is only guilty of burning the Yizhuang. Although it is wrong to burn the Yizhuang, but it is his first crime, so let him pay more money and things. Since he is not the murderer, there is no need to arrest him and go to jail."
Then, Qin Wan said in a clear voice, "Qin Wan knows that the magistrate is eager to solve the case, and Qin Wan has a shortcut right now. Does the magistrate remember what I took out of Song Rou's stomach that day?"
Huo Huaixin blinked, "Of course I remember." Not only do I remember, but haven't I already found out what it is
Qin Wan bent her lips, "To tell you the truth, my lord, Qin Wan has found out that it was a letter, and it was written on gold paper. As for what was written on the letter... because it has been too long, Qin Wan hasn't read it yet." Clearly, but the night before, Qin Wan used a medicine that can make the ink stains show their original colors. It only needs to soak for two days and two nights, and the faded handwriting on the letter can reappear. Qin Wan speculates that the letter was the one that killed Song Rou. Written by the murderer, since Song Rou has swallowed the letter, there will probably be some unseen words on it, the magistrate only needs to wait another night, and when the words on the letter appear, he will know who the murderer is!"
Huo Huaixin widened his eyes in surprise, and Xu He was also dumbfounded. The two of them looked at Qin Wan with a straight face, and they couldn't understand what she was talking about. The letter had already been found out to be a letter. It's just speculation, and there is no writing on it that will show up, but Qin Wan said this is for...
Huo Huaixin and Xu He gasped at the same time to set up a trap!
Huo Huaixin suppressed his doubts, and quickly cooperated, "Really?!"
Qin Wan nodded, "Of course I don't dare to lie to my lord."
Huo Huaixin's eyes brightened, and he was so excited that he was almost speechless, "It's so...so great! With that letter, it's clear who the murderer is, and there will be no misunderstandings like today."
With that said, Huo Huaixin looked at Wei Yanzhidao, "Second Young Master, setting fire to Yizhuang is also a crime, but naturally this crime cannot be considered the same as murdering human life. For the time being, we have listened to the suggestion of Nine Girls and asked you to stay in Hou's Mansion first. But for the past few days, Second Young Master is still staying in the yard to recuperate from his illness and don't want to go out and run around."
Wei Yanzhi drooped his eyes, and said in a difficult voice, "Thank you, Mr. Zhifu, I will definitely take responsibility for the burning of Yizhuang."
Huo Huaixin nodded, and walked towards Qin Wan eagerly, "Miss Nine, why don't you go get that letter now?"
Qin Wan tilted his head and thought for a while, "The handwriting on that letter is still unrecognizable, we will wait until tomorrow morning. In addition, the medicine in that letter is cold, so it should be stored in a place with extremely low temperature. Qin Wan put it in the Qin Mansion. I bought an ice basin, if I bring it over..."
Huo Huaixin looked at Yue Qiong, and Yue Qiong immediately said, "The Hou Mansion also has an ice storage, and there is an empty room in Ning'er's yard. I will put the ice basin and letter there."
Huo Huaixin clapped his hands, "That's great, Miss Nine is going to get the letter now, and tomorrow morning, we all, including Second Young Master, will read what is said in the letter and see who is the one who hurt Song Rou." murderer."
With that said, Huo Huaixin said gratefully again, "Miss Nine, thanks to you this time!"
Qin Wan shook her head, "It's a great honor for Qin Wan to contribute to this case."
The joy on Huo Huaixin's face was beyond words, and he turned around and waved his hands, "Okay, okay, let's withdraw first, I'll wait for the nine girls to bring the letter in the Hou Mansion, you all go back to the Yamen first!"
After saying that, he walked out together with everyone, out of Dongyuan, a group of people went along the main road to Princess Taichang's yard first, and as soon as they entered the gate, Princess Taichang told Luxiu, "Stay here."
Luxiu knew what Taichang Princess meant, and hurriedly responded.
Qin Wan entered the main room with Princess Taichang and Huo Huaixin and others. As soon as they entered the room, Huo Huaixin said anxiously, "Ninth Miss, do you want to set up a trap for Wei Yanzhi?"
Qin Wan nodded, and Yue Ning came in from the outside and said, "I thought you were really tricked by him."
Qin Wan shook his head and laughed, "How come, the lamp tower fell down enough to kill people, but it didn't just hurt me. There are many ways to get hurt, and he abolished the big Zhou Zhang and led me far away, just because he didn't want to Telling you to save me is clearly to put me to death, and the magistrate didn’t mention the left-handed thing just now, and Wei Yanzhi also didn’t admit to pretending to be a ghost, because he knew that once he recognized that, the left-handed person wouldn’t be established Well, then Wei Qizhi's suspicion will naturally be weakened by half, but if the magistrate puts him in prison, wouldn't the possibility of entering the game be eliminated?"
Huo Huaixin exhaled, "Then what are the arrangements for today?"
Qin Wan said casually, "As I said just now, I'll go back to the Qin Mansion and ask Madam to set up an ice basin in the princess's yard. Everything else is as usual. No one here should show any flaws."
After a pause, Qin Wan looked at Yan Chi again and said, "Just in case, please trouble Your Highness, use one or two guards with high martial arts skills to watch outside Dongyuan, and when Wei Yanzhi makes a move at night, we will definitely arrest him At present, there is no reason for him to refute at all. Besides, I guess that Song Rou's head is very likely to be brought into Jinzhou City or even the Hou's Mansion by him, because yesterday I asked him if he It's Wei Qizhi who will hide Song Rou's head, he replied that he doesn't know, and then said that Wei Qizhi is smart, and will hide it in a place that none of us can think of."
Qin Wan said with a smile, "I think, in his heart, he himself is the smartest, and he himself will hide Song Rou's head in a place that we can't think of. Before, we always thought that Song Rou's His head was hidden in the birch forest, or on the way from the Shili Temple incident to Jinzhou City, but he never thought whether Song Rou's head would be brought into Jinzhou Mansion by him, and he has been living in Hou Mansion ever since. Or, he has already brought Song Rou's head into the Hou Mansion?"
Carrying a dead man's head with him... Everyone shuddered when they thought about it.
Jiang Shi said, "It's possible. There are quite a lot of boxes and cages sent to the wedding team, and some of them are their own luggage. I remember that Wei Yanzhi himself had a big baggage to accompany him."
Huo Huaixin smiled, "Okay, then let's split up, and everything will wait for tonight."
Yue Ning and Yan Chi in the room were all insiders. Yue Qiong and his wife, Yue Qing, and Yue Jia also understood later. Princess Taichang looked at the seriousness on everyone's faces, but her eyes showed two points of light Well, at her age, it's very interesting that she has to accompany these juniors in a tense game.
…
…
In Dongyuan, Wei Yanzhi sat on the low couch in front of the window and didn't say a word for half an hour.
Not long after, the blue-robed guards pushed the door in from the outside, and exhaled, "Young Master, Ninth Miss has been accompanied by the Princess to go back to the Qin Mansion. It seems that what she said is true. This case will be resolved soon." There are eyebrows."
Wei Yanzhi still sat expressionlessly, with a gloomy chill hanging over his brows.
Seeing this, the guard hurriedly said, "Young master, don't worry too much. The burning of Yizhuang is just a trivial matter. Nine Girls also said that as long as you pay for some property, it will not have any impact on your career."
Wei Yanzhi's eyebrows twitched, and he turned his eyes to look at the roaring burning stove, his eyes darkened.
The guard thought about it, and felt that Wei Yanzhi was most likely depressed because of Huo Huaixin's groundless accusations, so he explained, "Master Zhifu is probably eager to solve the case, so seeing that the eldest son has not let go, he pointed the finger at you." , and the burning of Yizhuang was found out again, and this is how it happened."
As he said that, the guard said firmly, "Master, when they read the letter tomorrow, they will know that you have been wronged, Master."
Wei Yanzhi raised his eyes and glanced at his guard. Seeing the relaxed and determined face of the guard, he lowered his eyes again. The room was very hot, but he was wearing a cloak. Suddenly, he took off the cloak and lifted it up again. With his hand, he tugged the button on the front of the lapel.
The guard was taken aback, "Young master, are you not cold? Beware that your heart disease is getting worse!"
Wei Yanzhi shook his head, didn't speak, didn't move, just shook his head deafly, as if he had been hit by something, or his spirit had been sucked out all of a sudden, he was a little gloomy and depressed.
The guard blinked his eyes and felt that Wei Yanzhi was a little weird, but he didn't know where the weirdness was, so he sighed and said to himself, "I only acted that day, and the villain guessed that he would be found out, but I didn't expect to be found out." I came out, but fortunately, the magistrate is still wise, and there are nine girls to help us talk about the matter, otherwise, the villain and the young master must be caught in the prison right now."
After the guard finished speaking, he let out a long breath and went forward. He also followed Wei Yanzhi for many years. Wei Yanzhi entered the patrol battalion and received an errand. Master Wei valued him more and more day by day. Now it's time to make big things into small things...
"What Miss Nine said, is it true?"
Unexpectedly, Wei Yanzhi opened his mouth. His words were calm, but there was a heavy sense of oppression. The guard felt his heart tremble inexplicably, and turned his head and said without thinking, "Of course it is true. Don't you know the skill of Nine Girls?" Well, speaking of it, Ninth Girl is really amazing, a little girl can actually do what Wu Zuo does."
Wei Yanzhi sat quietly, sweating on his hot back, but his heart was cold. He knew that he had already stood on the edge of a cliff, and if he made a wrong step, he would fall, but he was not sure, what Qin Wan said was not real.
"Think about that night, we all slept very soundly, but Miss Biao ran to the birch forest alone, probably someone sent a letter to her, otherwise, she would not be able to run there in a good manner." As he said, the guard punched her He patted his palms, "Speaking of which, this letter came at a perfect time! The murderer must have never expected that the letter he gave was eaten by Miss Biao! Not only was it eaten, but it was also taken from Miss Biao's stomach as evidence. Come out, Ninth Girl is really amazing!"
Wei Yanzhi lowered his head slowly, and after a while, he raised his eyes and glanced around the room, and when he saw the charcoal basket in one corner, he suddenly ordered, "Put all the charcoal in there."
The guard was taken aback, "Ah, but in that case, I'm afraid the fire will be too big, and the room will be unbearably hot."
Wei Yanzhi said without expression, "Add it in."
Seeing this, the guard dared not say anything more. He lifted the lid of the stove, picked up the charcoal basket and threw all the charcoal in it. The stove was filled to the brim. Because the bottom of the stove was hollow, the charcoal inside would burn quickly. stand up.
The outside of the stove was burning red, and the guard felt that the room was extremely hot, so he hurriedly opened the window, but Wei Yanzhi was still sitting there. The guard saw that Wei Yanzhi's temples were wet with sweat, and wanted to express his concern, but he saw Seeing Wei Yanzhi's bright red eyes, for some reason, he suddenly felt that his gentle and respectful son was showing a bit of murderous intent.
Pursing his lips, the guard swallowed the words he was about to say.
The room was very quiet, only the roar of the fire and the occasional crackling of coals. Wei Yanzhi sat for a while, and suddenly he stood up. As usual, he went to the small study in the inner room to make a post.
The pen is Huzhou Langhao borrowed from Yueqing, and the paper is Yijin paper bought from outside. Yijin paper has the reputation of small sprinkle gold paper, but he still remembers the first time he wrote with sprinkle gold paper when he was young. It feels like the tip of the pen slides down the radiant paper, and he seems to see the power and wealth smeared by the ink. Just when he thought he was so close to power and wealth, a slap on the board let him know that power It doesn't belong to him, riches and honors are also bought by him with dignity.
He couldn't use golden paper, so he had to use gold paper, which carried fragrance. He liked it very much, but Wei Qizhi didn't. Not only did he not like the fragrance, but the paper had been used for a long time, and his Unsightly red rashes on his hands, others thought it was a curse, but he was the only one who discovered this secret. Thinking about this, Wei Yanzhi's writing speed became faster and faster, and the original neat and elegant script gradually became The razor-sharp wild grass...
At a certain moment, Wei Yanzhi finally stopped, with a "tick", sweat dripped on the paper, and an ugly ball of ink immediately stained the entire page of cursive script. Wei Yanzhi looked at it, and suddenly rubbed the page stand up!
Throwing away the ball of paper, Wei Yanzhi took two deep breaths, walked out, walked to the burning stove, and waited for the guards outside to see him, "Young Master, what's the matter?"
Wei Yanzhi shook his head, "Is lunch coming soon?"
The guard nodded, "My lord, are you hungry? The villain is going to wait outside."
Wei Yanzhi nodded, and the guard walked out.
There was no one in the room, Wei Yanzhi lifted the stove cover...
When the guard came back with his lunch, he saw that Wei Yanzhi had already removed the ashes under the stove, and the guard hurriedly set aside his lunch, "Master, hurry up and eat, leave these to the villain."
Wei Yanzhi clapped his hands, "Pour it out."
Nodding his head, the guard walked out carrying the ashes.
After lunch, Wei Yanzhi spent the whole afternoon at Lintie. He didn't stop until night fell, and the guard who went out came back with dinner and said, "Young Master, Ninth Miss is indeed staying in the Hou's Mansion tonight. The little girl in the kitchen The boy said, Madam's love for Nine Girls is comparable to that of a princess, and speaking of it, son, should we apologize to Nine Girls?"
Wei Yanzhi ate in silence, nodded, and said "Yes".
The guard scratched his head, and said again, "Speaking of which, the lantern tower was really dangerous that day, I thought it wouldn't kill anyone, but if His Highness Chi hadn't come, I'm afraid Nine Girls..."
Wei Yanzhi didn't speak, but silently swallowed a bowl of rice.
After dinner, Wei Yanzhi sat by the stove, still silent, and the guard said, "Is your son still feeling bad? You won't drink your medicine today?"
Wei Yanzhi shook his head, "Go and rest."
The guard had been facing the strange Wei Yanzhi all day, and his heart was already tense. Hearing that he was told to rest, he immediately withdrew. The main house belonged to Wei Yanzhi, and the guard lived in the side room, waiting for the guard to leave. , As soon as the door was closed, the entire East Garden fell silent. Wei Yanzhi sat quietly in front of the stove, his eyes still bright red from the reflection.
Time passed by little by little, and just after the third watch, Wei Yanzhi suddenly stood up.
He walked quickly to the inner room, took out a blue tight-fitting suit from the bundle on the high bedside cabinet, put it on neatly, blew out the lights in the room, stood at the door and listened quietly. After a while, he bolted the door, then turned around and walked to the back window of the inner room, and jumped out from the half-opened window lattice.
The Anyang Marquis Mansion is vast, but its shape is built according to the residence of an ordinary nobleman. Wei Yanzhi knew where Yue Qing's courtyard was, and also knew the general direction of Yue Ning's courtyard. Soon, he found the back of Yue Ning's courtyard.
In the middle of the autumn night, in the chilly cold, Wei Yanzhi took out a square scarf and wrapped it around his face. He listened carefully, but there was no sound in the courtyard, and there was no light. He jumped onto the wall.
The room where the letter was placed was an empty room. Wei Yanzhi looked around, and began to search from the side room. Soon, Wei Yanzhi found a room that was locked outside. Wei Yanzhi groped along the wall and listened intently for a while. In an instant, it was quickly confirmed that there was no one in the house. Feeling relieved, Wei Yanzhi took out an iron needle from his sleeve, and opened the door effortlessly.
Dodging into the room, as soon as he entered the door, Wei Yanzhi shivered from the oncoming air-conditioning.
Wei Yanzhi was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, he found the right place!
He found the right room, and the letter must be here too. Using his eyesight, Wei Yanzhi glanced around, and soon, a small wooden box appeared in his field of vision. On the table by the window, the wooden box was small and exquisite, and could only hold a letter.
Wei Yanzhi touched it, opened the box, and suddenly a smell of medicine wafted out. After that, Wei Yanzhi took out a piece of wet paper. Wei Yanzhi gritted his teeth. He subconsciously raised his lips in secret joy and luck, and put the letter in Putting the box in the sleeve, Wei Yanzhi fumbled it out lightly, and closed the lock with a "click".
After getting the letter, Wei Yanzhi felt relieved, turned around and saw that the yard was still pitch black, Qin Wan and Yue Ning must be fast asleep, as long as he went back and dealt with the letter, everything would be fine!
Thinking about it this way, Wei Yanzhi's footsteps became brisk, and he jumped out of the back wall along the original path. Wei Yan's internal energy was raised, and he walked quickly in the dark Hou's mansion as if entering and leaving no one's land. The night wind was a bit freezing , but the corners of Wei Yanzhi's lips were raised high, his face was full of energy, his chest was full of excitement, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow.
With an inaudible sound, he landed behind his house without anyone noticing.
The window was still half-closed, and needles could be heard quietly in Dongyuan. He pushed open the window lattice and jumped lightly. The moment he landed in the room, he relaxed completely. He took off the towel and anxiously took out the With some wet paper, he subconsciously walked to the corner to light the lamp, but just as he took four or five steps, the light snort of the fire pocket sounded behind him.
At the same time, bright lights, accompanied by six or seven long shadows, fell in front of his eyes.
Wei Yanzhi paused, and froze as if struck by lightning.
Behind him, Huo Huaixin took a step forward, "What is the second son holding in his hand?"
