Master of Rebirth

Chapter 250 Southern Yunnan

I'm really afraid of something!Zhao Jing's heart sank and hurried over.

"The old lady just had a scene, and her spirits were already very bad. After drinking the tranquilizing medicine prescribed by the doctor, she fell asleep. The old slave did not dare to leave, and kept guarding by her side. Unexpectedly, after a while, the old lady suddenly Sitting up from the bed, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something. The old slave leaned over to listen, but the old lady fell headfirst and never woke up again." The old woman who served Wang Li cried.

After hearing the old woman's story of Wang Li's death, Zhao Jing frowned and said, "Can you hear what the old lady wanted to say before she died?"

"No." The old woman shook her head and said, "The old lady can't say anything just by opening her mouth. I think I don't have the strength to speak anymore."

Seeing that the old woman couldn't ask any questions here, Zhao Jing sent her away, and then said to Yan Wu: "What did the doctor say?"

"Back to the young master, Mrs. Wang's body is already failing, and she is all supported by one breath. Now that she has suffered a sudden blow, it is natural that her illness has come down like a mountain." Yan Wu said with a bitter face.

Needless to say, Mrs. Wang and Li must have been stimulated by the news of Wang Long and Wang Yao, so she couldn't help going.Thinking that the news of Wang Long and Wang Yao's accident was likely to be revealed by Mrs. Ma to Wang and Li, Zhao Jing felt even more guilty.He looked at Yan Wu in embarrassment and said, "This... how should I tell Wang Qi?"

"This matter can't be kept secret, so let's tell the prince quickly." Yan Wu said: "If it's not convenient for the young master to speak, go down and tell the prince."

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Jing sighed and said, "Forget it, let me tell him personally."

Telling Wang Qi the news of Mrs. Wang's death with anxiety, Zhao Jing lowered his head and looked at his expression secretly.

Because it was expected, Wang Qi didn't react too much, but said: "Since grandma has gone, I have to prepare for her funeral. Please allow me to take grandma back to the hometown for burial."

"There is no news from Mr. Wang at the moment, how could you just leave like this?" Zhao Jing naturally couldn't let Wang Qi go, so he said hastily, "Why don't you handle the funeral in the capital?"

Yan Wu also said: "Yes, Mr. Wang, there are not many people in the Wang family in Pingyao County. Anyway, you will stay in the capital for the past few years. It is better to bury the old lady here. It is also convenient for worship. If you If you really want to send the old lady back to Pingyao County, you can wait until Lord Wang returns."

"Although the Wang family has fallen, they have houses and courtyards after all. There is no reason to hold funerals in other people's homes." Wang Qi said flatly.

Zhao Jing hurriedly said: "I have been the cousin of your Wang family anyway, how can it be someone else's family? If you feel uncomfortable, I can immediately adopt this garden to your name. Yanwu, go and get the deed of the house. Bring it."

Naturally Wang Qi would not agree, and hastily declined, "Young Master, you are too polite, I cannot accept it."

"Since the young master doesn't mind holding funerals in the garden, you don't have to be polite, Mr. Wang." Yan Wu took the opportunity to say: "The young master has already sent someone to find out the whereabouts of Lord Wang, and there should be someone in a few days." News. This son was what the old lady cared about the most in her life, and now that Mr. Wang's life and death are uncertain, the old lady may not feel at ease. Young Master Wang should stay and wait for the news."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Jing said: "In short, you don't have to worry, I will send someone to take care of grandma's funeral, and I will definitely let her go with dignity and dignity."

Wang Qi wanted to say something more, but Yan Wu rushed ahead of him and said, "My lord, the mourning hall has been set up, and Mr. Wang is not here now. You are a filial son and grandson. You should change your clothes quickly and go to guard the old lady's spirit."

After saying this, Yan Wu couldn't help but push Wang Qi away.

Putting on mourning clothes and coming to the mourning hall, there was already a person kneeling in the hall.Wang Qi looked down and saw that it was Wang Jing, Wang Long's son.After arriving in the capital, he only saw this nephew, so he asked Yanwu to find a school and sent him to study.

Wang Jing was also dressed in filial piety at the moment. He was kneeling on the ground and throwing paper money into the brazier. When he saw Wang Qi coming, he stood up and saluted Wang Qi, "My nephew pays respects to uncle."

Looking at Wang Jing, Wang Qi felt mixed feelings.Although this nephew is related to him by blood, the two are not close.On the one hand, Wang Qi and Wang Long have already torn their faces, Wang Jing must not have a good impression of his uncle because of his father's influence.And Wang Qi also rejected people related to Wang Long.Furthermore, when Wang Qi and the Wang family fell out, Wang Jing was still young. After so many years, the two basically had no contact, and naturally they had no feelings for each other.Wang Qi's only impression of Wang Jing was the baby held in Wang Li's arms like a baby.

So many years have passed in a flash, and the infant child has grown up.Although she is not yet ten years old, her face has lost the childishness that a child should have.It is pitiful to think that Wang Jing's parents died at a young age, and now even his great-grandmother is gone, and he can only live with an uncle who has a grudge against his father.

Sighing, Wang Qi softened her tone, "When did you come back?"

"Back to uncle, the people in the garden went to the school to report the funeral, and my nephew came back." Wang Jing said respectfully.

Wang Qi never asked anyone to report his funeral, probably Zhao Jing arranged for it.

Nodding her head, Wang Qi signaled Wang Jing to continue doing her own thing, and she also knelt down on the mat in front of the coffin.For a while, no one spoke again.

"Uncle, is my father dead too?" After some time, Wang Jing broke the silence first.

Wang Lishi only found out about Wang Long today, and now that she has passed away, who told Wang Jing?Wang Qi's eyes dimmed, "Who did you listen to?"

"An old woman in the garden." Wang Jing didn't hide anything, and said directly: "She said that my father was murdered, is this true?"

Hearing this obviously provocative words, Wang Qi's eyes turned sharp, and said: "Your father died of illness, don't take the gossip outside seriously."

"Yes." Wang Jing lowered his head, the dancing flames in the brazier were reflected on his face, no emotion could be seen.

Wang Qi asked again: "Which old woman told you?"

But Wang Jing didn't tell him what he meant, and said directly: "Since it's just gossip, why should uncle bother with a sloppy woman?"

Wang Jing's tone was not kind, and dissatisfaction was written on his face. Wang Qi knew that he believed that he had killed Wang Long, but he didn't want to try to defend himself.Sometimes, once a prejudice is buried, it cannot be resolved in this life.Just like him and Wang Long, they can only die forever.After the funeral of Mrs. Wang and Li, we should find a way to arrange a good place for Wang Jing, and send him away from a distance, maybe we will live in peace.

So, there was nothing to say all night.

Because there were no relatives in the capital, except for a few familiar guards around Zhao Jing, there were very few people who came to express their condolences.During this period, Wang Qi never gave up her plan to take Wang and Li back to her hometown, but unfortunately she asked Yanwu several times, but she was always told that Zhao Jing was not there.Because of her filial piety, Wang Qi couldn't leave the mourning hall, so she had to give up.

Although Zhao Jing did not show up, the people in the garden did not dare to neglect at all.The coffin and shroud prepared for Wang Li are the best.

Three days after the coffin was parked, Yan Wu came to the mourning hall and said to Wang Qi: "My lord, the young master knows that you want to take the old lady back to Pingyao County for burial, but the journey is far away and it's cold, so it's not convenient to go on the road. It's already passed away, so it's not a solution to keep it like this. The young master has already chosen a geomantic land in the outskirts of Beijing, so it's better to bury him first. We can wait for Lord Wang to come back safely to discuss other matters."

"Where's your young master?" Wang Qi asked.

Yan Wudao: "In the past few days, the young master has been busy with Mr. Wang's affairs. According to the news from the south of Yunnan, the body of Mr. Wang has not been found, so the person is probably still alive. The young master has already dispatched Several groups of people passed by, maybe they can be rescued.”

Knowing that Zhao Jing is hiding from him on purpose, but the affairs of the living are always more important than the affairs of the dead.Zheng Xihou has been fighting in the west all year round, so he must have some manpower and eyeliner in southern Yunnan.Right now Wang Yao's life is still counting on Zhao Jing to save him, Wang Qi can't say anything, so he can only say: "Thank you very much."

Seeing that Wang Qi did not refuse, Yan Wu was somewhat relieved.

"As for grandma's funeral, please keep everything simple." Wang Qi added.

Yan Wu understood Wang Qi's meaning, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, your subordinates have a sense of propriety."

After successfully persuading Wang Qi to stay, Yan Wu finally let go of a boulder in his heart.When I went back to return to my life, I only felt that my steps were much lighter than usual.It can't be blamed that he is so easily satisfied. In the past few days, because of Wang Qi's going back, Zhao Jing was so worried that he didn't sleep much.

Entering Zhao Jing's study in a happy mood, Yan Wu was about to tell Zhao Jing the good news, but unexpectedly saw Xiuwen whom he hadn't seen for many days.

"Brother, why are you here?" After asking this sentence, Yan Wu realized that both of them looked serious.Knowing that something must have happened, Yan Wu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiuwen said: "Master Hou asked Master Hou to withdraw all the people he sent to southern Yunnan."

"Why?" Yan Wu said in shock: "Southern Yunnan is in chaos now, and many officials have been killed. Shouldn't troops be sent to quell the chaos at this time? Why do we have to withdraw people?"

Xiuwen said with a sullen face: "This matter is a bit complicated. According to the news, the Baiyi tribe claimed that their tribal leader was deliberately murdered by Daliang officials."

The Baiyi tribe is the most powerful tribe in southern Yunnan. Their leader, Moji Khan, is good at fighting and won the support of all tribes.What's even more rare is that Moji Khan admires the culture of the Han people and intends to make friends with Daliang.It is precisely because of him that the stability of the southern Yunnan region in recent years has been achieved.Yan Wu really couldn't think of any official who would get mad and kill Mo Ji.

"Mo Ji is so brave, and there are so many loyal guards around him, how could he be killed so easily?" Knowing that the matter was not easy, Yan Wu hurriedly asked: "What is the background of the official?"

Xiuwen said: "It is said that the local county magistrate has always had a good relationship with Moji. The county magistrate invited Moji to a banquet, and during the banquet, while everyone was drunk, he plotted against him."

"Who is that county magistrate? Why did he kill Moji?" Yan Wu asked in disbelief.

Xiuwen said: "The county magistrate's surname is Wu Mingzhou, a person from Jiankang. It has been two years since he served in southern Yunnan, and he has never heard of any enmity with Moji. After Moji Khan died, Wuzhou and other officials present were arrested by hundreds of people. The barbarian killed him, and now there is no proof of death."

Yan Wu was worried, "The Baiyi tribe has great power in southern Yunnan, especially after this Moji Khan succeeded to the throne, many tribes around him are attached to him. This is our fault. If we don't handle it well, I'm afraid it will happen again It's going to be a big battle."

"The most important thing right now is to appease the Baiyi tribe and other tribes, and then find out the truth about Moji Khan's killing, and give them an explanation." Zhao Jing frowned.

Yan Wu couldn't help but click his tongue, "The Baiyi people had a rift with our Daliang. If Tubo hadn't been defeated, and Moji Khan had the intention of making friends with Daliang, the two sides would never have lived in peace for so many years. If Moji It’s good that Khan wasn’t killed by Wu Zhou, but if the result is still the same after repeated investigations, how will it end?”

"Southern Yunnan is in chaos right now. I heard that Baiyi people would kill Daliang's officials when they saw them. It is impossible to allow Daliang's imperial envoys to investigate the case. Even if there are really hidden secrets, they will not believe it." Xiuwen frowned. He said: "No matter how you look at it, this is a dead move, and it is impossible to be good."

Yan Wu immediately became alert and said: "The emperor doesn't want the young master to go and investigate."

"No candidate has been decided yet. However, the emperor intends to send a general who is familiar with southern Yunnan to investigate." Xiuwen said with a worried face: "Master Hou has been operating in the west for many years, and he has some contacts in southern Yunnan. Even if the emperor does not The young master is also the best candidate. I heard that the seventh prince has already entered the palace, what will he say to the emperor?"

Hearing this, Yan Wu gritted his teeth angrily, "When he was in the military camp in the early years, the seventh prince disliked the young master, and later he held a grudge against the young master because of Gao Wei's case. He will definitely take the opportunity to give the young prince The master tripped and urged the emperor to send the young master over there."

"Not only that." Xiuwen said: "Someone in the court suspects that someone must be instigating this matter behind the scenes, probably someone with high authority in Beijing. Otherwise, how could a small county magistrate who has no grudges and no grievances Dare to murder Moji Khan?"

Yan Wu said: "The emperor will not doubt the young master."

"After receiving the news from the south of Yunnan, Young Master immediately sent a lot of people over there. He was more nervous than anyone in the court. What do you think the emperor will think?" Xiuwen asked in a deep voice.

Yan Wu refused to accept it and said: "But the young master is looking for Wang Yao!"

"Young Lord and Wang Yao don't have any friendship, not to mention that when Fang Tingyu's party was eradicated, it was the young Lord who helped." Xiuwen asked coldly: "You said that the young Lord is for Wang Yao, will the emperor believe it? ? Do you still want to tell about the Prince Wang?"

Yan Wu immediately fell silent.

Xiuwen looked at Zhao Jing and said, "Young Lord, Lord Hou said, no matter what your reason is, it is not appropriate to intervene too much in the affairs of southern Yunnan at this time. It is better to withdraw all the brothers as soon as possible."

"I have already promised Wang Qi that I will try my best to save his third uncle, so I can't break my promise." Zhao Jing shook his head and said, "Besides, since the person has already been sent out, wouldn't it be more guilty to withdraw at this time?"

Seeing that Zhao Jing was obsessed with obsession, Xiuwen said anxiously: "But today's southern Yunnan is a swamp, and if you don't handle it well, you will sink into it and disappear. Everyone is trying to hide, why do you have to go up?"

Just as Zhao Jing was about to say something, a young servant ran in from the outside in a panic, "Young Master, it's not good, Prince Wang fainted suddenly."
