Whose Evil in the Red Chamber
Chapter 40
As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, everyone in the room was so quiet that they couldn't even hear each other's breathing. It took a long time for everyone to realize that there were all kinds of meanings in their eyes, and more people naturally looked at him secretly. Watching Jingxuan's reaction.
This is really unexpected news, and Jing Xuan himself was shocked by the news for a while.For Zheng Guang'an, Jing Xuan hated him, but never thought of killing him.It's not that Jing Xuan is soft-hearted, on the contrary, Jing Xuan wished that Zheng Guang'an would live a long time, in Jing Xuan's view, death is really cheap for that bastard!
Isn't he confident that his status as the prince's son of Nan'an County is superior?Alright, then let him fall from the clouds into the mud. I think he has been domineering for so many years. Once he falls from the clouds, the feeling must be "very good, right?" No matter how diligent the flatterer is, when he is in trouble, he will be ravished so ruthlessly.
Of course, there is also that scheming Zheng Guangping. Back then, this son could bear to please Zheng Guangan in every possible way for many years, so he must have a lot of grudges in his heart, right?Now that the old county king is still there, Zheng Guangping can only deal with him secretly; on the day when the old county king goes west, if Zheng Guangping gets power as he wished, then Zheng Guang'an may be forced to live or die.
Therefore, at the moment when the news of Zheng Guangan's death came, Jing Xuan frowned slightly in reluctance, it was really cheap for Zheng Guangan, he would die, it was really boring!
Wang Qi didn't have Jing Xuan's twisted thoughts. In his eyes, the death of this kind of scum is not a pity. That scum has countless life lawsuits in his hands!If it wasn't for him and Brother Wei that day, the child named Lingguan would definitely have died. This is just what he saw, and what he didn't see, I don't know how much!
This kind of person just lost his reputation as a prince, and still escaped justice, Wang Qi was very upset, and now he heard that someone had killed this scum for Tian Xingdao, Wang Qi couldn't help applauding in his heart.It's just that he is also an old man now, facing all kinds of meaningful gazes in this room, he still hid his joy well.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, Wang Qi and Jing Xuan were both surprised, and then one was expressionless and the other frowned slightly.Seeing that the surprised expressions of the two of them did not seem to be fake, and they could not see any strange clues, everyone looked away.
"What were you talking about just now? I saw that it was very lively, but don't be put off by this incident." Mr. Liu just said that he wanted to test something with this news, and when he saw the reactions of Wang Qi and Jing Xuan, he smiled , to diverge the topic.
Mr. Chen Si, who had only spoken half of what he had just said, finally finished what he had just said: "I heard that Xue's family didn't know where to open the door a few years ago, but they went the way of King Zhong'an, so they bought medicinal materials in the palace. The Yiran Tower in Jinling was the Xue family’s restaurant on the surface, but the prince secretly occupied the majority. Otherwise, the Xue family would not have the guts to grab the business of the Marquis’s residence.”
Although these families cannot avoid fighting openly and secretly in the city of Gusu, but this is only their internal affairs. It is too contemptuous for a family from Jinling to come to Gusu to disrupt the situation.Therefore, the well-informed family has already figured out the matter of the Xue family.The forces behind Jing Xuan and Wang Qi are not ordinary now, so they are naturally happy to sell well.
Mr. Liu couldn't help but nodded and said: "Speaking of which, the Xue family is nothing more than a puppet. This time, the emperor ordered the procurement of medicinal materials in the palace to be withdrawn. It's so dangerous that he didn't even keep the name of the imperial merchant. I heard that the Xue family is having a hard time these days. Jing Xuan, here to ask for favors for my brother, I have to forgive others and forgive others. Don't chase after poor people."
Mr. Liu didn't want to take care of this mess of the Xue family, but his direct sister married to the Zhen family in Jinling, and the Zhen family still had some friendship with the Xue family. The elder sister who is the daughter-in-law of the Zhen family wrote him a family letter, so what can he do?
Prestige is based on earning, if he doesn't handle this matter well, even bringing his sister in Zhen's house will be looked down upon by others.
Jing Xuan, who knew the in-law relationship between the Liu family and the Zhen family from his wife, understood the meaning of the other party after hearing what Mr. Liu said. Although the Xue family's claws stretched a bit, they also learned a lesson He didn't want to do anything else at first, Jing Xuan was satisfied with the favor promised by Mr. Liu for no reason, but he still made a look of difficulty.
When the third son of Zhao saw it, he said with a smile: "Jingxuan, Jia, Shi, Wang, Xue, these four families are from the ancestors.
Come on, although the Xue family is just an imperial merchant, it is not alone. "
The third son of Zhao naturally wouldn't single out "Jia's family", but the meaning of these words has been hinted clearly. All the people present are smart people, and naturally they all know the meaning of the strings, so Jing Xuan finally clicked on it. nod.
"Since brother Liu opened his mouth, this matter will naturally be exposed."
The atmosphere in the room naturally returned to its pleasant atmosphere. By the time Jing Xuan and Wang Qi left with Mrs. Hou, they had already received several verbal invitations. The two of them became extremely hot.
At this time, the capital city had already caused an uproar because of Zheng Guangan's death.Even though Zheng Guang'an was deprived of his position as the son of the prince, he was still the son of the county prince. He was assassinated in the palace, and the murderer came and went without anyone noticing.
However, after a short period of panic, these people also recalled that this incident was mostly caused by the "inner ghost".No matter how outsiders are, it is impossible for outsiders to be so silent. The sons of Nan'an County King are now fighting for the seat of the prince. No one is afraid that the Nan'an County King is reluctant to part with his son who has loved him for many years and wants to avoid it. After being in the limelight, he was re-appointed as the eldest son, so he acted preemptively and directly killed him.
Not only outsiders think this way, but even the king of Nan'an himself thinks so.Although his son offended Huan Qian and Lin Ruhai, if Huan Qian wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago, so there is no need to assassinate him?Lin Ruhai is nothing more than a civil servant, even if he has the emperor's favor now, he doesn't have the ability to reach out to the palace.
Most of this matter was done by those rebellious sons!Thinking that these rebellious sons could kill each other today, and they might even kill their fathers tomorrow, the king of Nan'an County was angry and anxious. He first made a confession, and then decided to use all his strength to investigate these sons. Upside down.
All the actions of the King of Nan'an were naturally unknown to outsiders, but in Prince Zhongping's mansion, Huan Qian frowned and played with the teacup in his hand, his face was not relaxed.
"Yiqing, I think this matter is not that simple. No matter how stupid those little bastards are, they will not kill people at this stall. If they offend the old ones, they will not get any advantage." The matter was strange, but when he thought about it carefully, Huan Qian really couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.
He didn't do this, and Lin Ruhai couldn't do it either. Then, who else in the capital would have trouble with a brat who has lost power?A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and Huan Qian's eyes lit up: "Yiqing, the martial arts exam will be next month, right? I remember that Wu Xi's apprentice Wei Zhen is also going to take the exam, you go and see, Has he arrived in the capital, where has he settled down, and what did he do last night."
Yiqing was taken aback: "My lord, you suspect..."
Huan Qian hooked the corner of his mouth: "It's too early to say anything."
Yiqing nodded in response, and went down to investigate.With Huanqian's power in the capital, it was very easy to find Wei Zhen. Soon, Yiqing arrived at the Fortune Inn where Wei Zhen stayed.
He inquired about Wei Zhen's room with his buddy, and just as Yiqing opened the door, the smell of alcohol inside made him frowned, and when he looked again, there were messy cups and plates on the table inside the room, and more than ten jars of spirits were poured out in disorder on the ground. There were two people crouching on the table, one was naturally Wei Zhen whom he was familiar with, and the other was a white-faced scholar whom Yiqing had also seen before, and was Lin Ruhai's disciple Zhang Wenzhi.
These two people, well, Yiqing also recalled that this kid surnamed Zhang was also a student of Mr. Wu, and the two of them can be regarded as brothers of the same school.
Seeing that the two of them were still drunk, Yiqing thought for a while, then turned around and called the waiter over, and asked him in detail. After knowing that Zhang Wenzhi was the inn that he arrived at last evening, the two of them immediately went to the inn. After asking for food and wine, Yiqing nodded.
"The guy said that the last time Wei Zhen showed up to ask for wine was at three o'clock." Back at the palace, Yiqing reported all the information he had found to Huan Qian.
"Zi Shi Mo." Huan Qian thought for a while, the news he got, Wu Zuo concluded that Zheng Guang'an was killed in Zi Shi Mo, and at Zi Shi Mo, someone saw Wei Zhen in the inn.In this way, if it is said that Wei Zhen rushed from the inn to the palace and murdered someone in the middle of nowhere, and then only took two quarters of an hour to deal with everything and returned to the inn as if nothing had happened. It also avoided everyone's eyes and ears. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen.
"You have fought against him, do you think he can finish this in two quarters of an hour?" Always thought that kid was weird, although Huan Qian thought it was impossible, he still asked.
Yiqing shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't even do this kind of thing."
Huan Qian nodded: "Forget it, maybe those greedy bastards did it. It's about the county prince's mansion, so let's just watch the excitement from the sidelines."
The king of Nan'an County was restless before, and now he is flirting with that kid Huan Yi again. The emperor was thinking of finding him unhappy, so he gave the handle himself. Now, I am afraid that his position as the king of the county will Also sat down.
Huan Qian let go of all doubts for the time being, but after Yi Qing left, Wei Zhen, who was drunk and unconscious on the table, suddenly opened his eyes, his black eyes were as usual, and there was no trace of drunkenness in them at all.
After waking up Zhang Wenzhi, he called a carriage to take Zhang Wenzhi home with a splitting headache. Wei Zhen thought about what Zhang Wenzhi said when he was drunk, and there was no expression on his dull face.
After ordering Xiaoer to bring hot water, Wei Zhen after taking a bath, took out a night clothes stained with bloodstains from the package, painted some wax on it, and then lit the fire pocket, and soon the night clothes were on the The flames turned into ashes and fell into the tub.
With the windows open, the faint burning smell of the house mingled with the wood smoke from the kitchen chimney below, dissipating in the air.
Then, just like the previous two days, Wei Zhen, who was considerate of Xiaoer's body, carried the bathtub downstairs in a very approachable manner, poured the dirty water into the ditch in the backyard, and then, at Xiao Erwan's A simple and honest smile appeared in his grateful eyes.
Not too many days later, the King of Nan'an, who wanted to thoroughly investigate the methods of his sons, revealed all the hidden things that Zheng Guangping, who had the most secret methods, did in private - including of course he was the one who instigated Zheng Guangan publicized the rumors about the Lin family.
Seeing that Zheng Guangping, whom he increasingly trusted and relied on, turned out to be the mastermind behind the murder of his son-in-law, the Prince of Nan'an was furious and fell ill all of a sudden.And Zheng Guangping, who was going straight up, naturally fell back into the dust again.
Under the impetus of caring people, it was originally only the family background of Nan'an County King, but it was spread all over the city, and it became a topic of conversation among well-informed people.
"I didn't expect that Zheng Guangping would be so insidious. He came to you to sell it, but it turns out that those bad ideas are all from his handwriting!" Wang Qi couldn't help but said aggrievedly when he found out, and then smiled again: "However, God has eyes. A person like him thinks he can hide from the sky?"
Jing Xuan nodded noncommittally. For some reason, he always felt that these things were too coincidental, right?
The author has something to say: I went to the bird for the exam yesterday, and I was lazy on the bed when I got home~~ So there is no update...
