The end is approaching

When Commander Zhou's regular report was sent back to Beijing, Wen Zui hadn't browsed to the back of the secret report, but only saw the words "middle-aged official surnamed Su", and knew who this person was immediately.

It was none other than Qi Yifei's uncle, talented Su who had taught the princes to read.

This Uncle Su is not really what he said, the unknown generation.He is now the fourth-rank magistrate of Jiangzuo, and he was a great talent in Su who was well-known in the capital.The single name is "Lin" and the character is "Lin Hu". In his own joke, this name is derived from "there are all kinds of birds in the forest".For example, other people take the imperial examination to obtain scholars, but he chose to donate officials.

Well, during the period of Emperor Tianhe, there were a lot of chaotic politics, and donating officials was one of them.

Qi Yifei's natal family is said to be a well-known wealthy man in Guangzhou, mainly engaged in overseas business, and all the male members of the family have been wandering overseas all year round, traveling to and from all over the world.But I don't know why, but it is an extremely xenophobic family-owned firm with only one business model - only using its own people.

Su Lin also joked with Qi Yifei that even the big white geese with amazing fighting power in their family are all produced and sold on their own.

Probably due to the ancient admonition that the sons of merchants are not allowed to take the imperial examination, Su Lin has been keeping silent about his life experience since he entered the court.But in fact, Da Qi didn't care much about such things as early as a hundred years ago.Even with the vigorous development of overseas business, businessmen have brought a steady stream of wealth to Daqi, all of which are real money, and the court will push these people out when they are sick.

To be precise, it was only in the first few generations of Taizu that the sons of merchants were not allowed to take imperial examinations. This was because of Taizu's personal likes and dislikes, and he had a great prejudice against merchants.

Since the development of Daqi, there has been no such rule for a long time, and even encourages businessmen to let their sons take the imperial examination.

But maybe Su Lin is such a cautious person, and everyone just vaguely knew that his father was very rich, and he was so rich that he married his daughter and entered Beijing in the year, so people almost mistakenly thought that he was taking the opportunity to openly give money to the court. The chief assistant bribed.

What Mrs. Qi brought over was red makeup, gold and silver jewellery, antique calligraphy and paintings, and a lot of imported items that many people had never seen before.Someone once said that this is probably a ostentation that even the princess is not likely to have when she gets married.

Because of this, when Qi Fu was in the capital, he brought a wave of overseas style, and everyone was proud of imitating her dressing.

Because that represents the most popular thing.

Until Madam Qi passed away later, some people still did not forget the way she traveled with her husband, the gods and the couple, which amazed the whole old time.

And these dowries, after Madam Qi left, were all sealed up by Mr. Qi and put in the warehouse without any movement.Later, some more were added, and Qi Yifei used them as his sister's dowry, and sent them all to the Northwest.That's not enough for Qi Yifei.Although Qi Yifei didn't have modern memories at the time, he always felt in his impression that the inheritance of his parents should be divided equally between men and women, and should be divided equally between siblings.But everyone around said that he would inherit all the pillars in the future, and he could only seek compensation from other places.

But Qi Yiyi was unwilling to agree, and took away all his mother's dowry, let alone added so many others.But in the end, at Qi Yifei's insistence, he only kept one piece of his mother's dowry as a souvenir.

Talk about going back to the Su family.

As a wealthy businessman in Guangzhou, the Su family should be well-known, but they are not.So far, no one knows exactly which merchant's family in Guangzhou Mansion is the family of King Qi Xiaojun and the owner of Xiaojun.

Even Qi Yifei's siblings didn't know much about their maternal ancestral home, except for their uncle, they had almost no contact with it.

I only heard from my uncle that they have four brothers and sisters, three older brothers and one younger sister. Uncle Su is the youngest of the boys.

Because the family is at sea all year round, news is not easy to convey. When Qi Yifei's mother passed away, only his elder brother, Su Lin, was by his side.On the contrary, when Qi Yifei's father died of illness early, the uncle, second uncle and even the grandfather rushed all the way from thousands of miles to arrive neatly.

Qi Yifei and his elder sister were still young at the time, and had no impression of outsiders.

Later, the two families lost contact, Qi Yiyi got married in a hurry, and there was no time to notify, even Su Lin was the same.He was working as a parent officer in another place at the time, and when he received a letter from his niece who was going to marry Situ's family, Qi Yifei had already sent his sister to the northwest on horseback.Later, when they were on the road, they received another letter from their uncle.He finally returned to Beijing, even though he knew he would never see Qi Yiyi, he still came back.

Grandpa, uncle, and uncle still can't get in touch. It is said that he went to sea again. This time he traveled far away, and it may take several years to return.

Although it is such an unfamiliar relationship, Qi Yifei has a good impression of his ancestors.

One is because of my uncle Su Lin, and the other is because Mr. Qi always mentions it, as if afraid that Qi Yifei and his siblings will forget.In the past two years, Mr. Qi has talked less. A few years ago, when they were young, whenever they got something, Mr. Qi would read a sentence: "This is what your grandfather bought for you. He loves you like treasures, and you should remember to be filial to him."

Qi Yifei seems to understand, but he has a very good impression of his grandfather, because this is a good person who will bring him all kinds of delicious food and fun, and he will not nag him.

It was only after he entered the officialdom that Su Lin gained some reputation as a talented scholar. He himself is still unwilling to admit it. He always said that he relied on his peers as a foil.Back then, because of Qi Yifei, Su Lin was able to enter Qinweijing's study to teach, laying the foundation for the princes.Because of his handsome appearance and humorous conversation, he was favored by Emperor Tianhe. Seeing that he was about to make his mark, he asked for a transfer and left the political center.

After leaving, Su Lin never came back.

It can be said that Wen Zui knows Qi Yifei's family affairs very well, so it is absolutely impossible for Su Lin to be such a coincidence.Master Zhou also revealed Su Lin's real body behind the letter.

Master Zhou directly expressed his doubts about the identity of Mr. Qi in his letter. "Qi Wangjing" was a name changed later, and the child whose surname was Qi didn't like reading at all... What can make people change their personality overnight?Or become so smart that he can directly be admitted to the top prize?Not even a lot of hard work in the middle.

"It was pierced!" Qi Yifei couldn't be more serious, and gave the answer of hearing the crime.

After hearing the crime, he cut the head and tail, and didn't tell Qi Yifei that it was about his grandfather's past, but he just tentatively asked Qi Yifei's opinion.Unexpectedly, Qi Yifei gave such a nonsensical answer.

"Hurry up and read less scripts," Wen Zui scolded with a smile, "I'm going to make you look stupid."

"I'm really going to quit for a few days." Qi Yifei sighed, not because he was really afraid of seeing himself as a fool, but...he secretly looked at the crime, and he didn't know in the scriptures he read recently. What did Eunuch Ding think? Among the ten books, he could always include one or two books about broken sleeves.There is another one, the front is beautiful, and the carriage is driven directly behind, Qi Yifei is defenseless, his face is flushed, and he can't stop.

The ancients were really bold, they could write anything, and all kinds of obscene words and songs complemented each other.On the one hand, Qi Yifei was worried about his kidney deficiency, but on the other hand, he couldn't help showing the face of sin.

Just, didn't Qi Yifei have a habit of making up stories for himself before falling asleep at night.

He was troubled by those broken-sleeved story books, and now he dreams of Wengui every night. The two of them watched the stars and the moon, and chatted from poetry to life ideals all the way. at last……

Just drive.

When Qi Yifei got up this morning, looking at the suspicious marks on the obscene pants, she shed tears that she might really want to bend.Storybook novels kill people!

Qi Yifei, who didn't want to face it, decided to change his mind and stop reading scripts for at least three days!

"Then if it is, then does that person have a friend who is particularly smart and eager to learn? His friend was unable to take the imperial examination for some reason." Wen Zui asked Qi Yifei again.

Before Wenzui asked Mr. Zhou to check on Qi Wangjing because he wanted to find out his little secrets and grasp him for his own use; now, Wenzui wants to at least know what Qi Wangjing did so that he can clean up the ending for him. Different scales, to at least keep the old man from dying.

Even if it was really a heinous crime, after hearing the crime, he almost didn't think about it, and decided that at most he would let the old man go home and eat him.

Hearing crimes is really not what Qi Yifei thinks is a fair and fair person, he especially protects his shortcomings, to be precise, he protects Qi Yifei, this is all his shortcomings.

"Well, did his friend wear it on him?" Qi Yifei still couldn't get away from this strange circle of thinking.

"...No time travel."

"Oh, then he must have been reborn!" Qi Yifei slapped his thigh, thinking that he had given a clever and meticulous reasoning, "So he became powerful!"

"There is no rebirth either."

Qi Yifei let out a long sigh: "Why are you so picky? Well, well, that's because his friend helped him cheat!"

Commander Zhou's train of thought was that Mr. Qi might be Yan Ergou. He murdered people, cheated, impersonated, and borrowed the identity of a good friend. He was afraid of being discovered, and even changed his name to Qi Wangjing on purpose.

But Qi Yifei's idea is not impossible.If you think about it this way, cheating or something is much easier than killing a friend.

Wen Zui breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days later, Commander Zhou's second report arrived again.

Although Wenzui has already promised Qi Yifei that he will learn to trust the people around him, delegate work step by step, and not let himself be overworked, but what he can do so far is at most not enough to grasp everything, but he still needs to follow everything. into.Especially with regard to Mr. Qi, he was afraid that Commander Zhou would make his own opinions, fail to fully understand his own meaning, and turn good things into bad things.

This time, what Commander Zhou brought was good news—fortunately, Mr. Qi should not be Yan Ergou.

Because Su Lin inadvertently took Commander Zhou and Li Zheng's grandfather to the Qi family's ancestral hall, where there was a portrait of Qi Yifei as a teenager.

Lizheng's grandfather had poor eyesight, so he pointed at the portrait at a glance, and said to Commander Zhou, "This is the promising kid from the Qi family. He won the first prize in the examination and became a high official, and he still doesn't forget his roots."

He mistook Qi Yifei for Qi Wangjing when he was a child.

And if Mr. Qi was very similar to Qi Yifei when he was a child, wouldn't that mean that Qi Wangjing was himself.There should be no possibility of changing people. If they change people, it is impossible for Qi Yifei, as the grandson of Mr. Qi, to be like another person.

The only thing that Mr. Zhou still cares about and is strange is that in the Qi family ancestral hall, there is a portrait of Qi Yifei, but there is no portrait of Qi Wangjing, the head assistant.

Mr. Zhou is going to continue to investigate the case of Zuoqi Village. When he received the anonymous letter, it said that the first assistant Qi Wangjing had blood on his hands and was about to die. Qi Guifei's family was the accomplice of Mr. Qi.Therefore, Commander Zhou's suspicion at the beginning was that Qi Wangjing was inseparable from the Miemen in his own village; later when he arrived at Xiaoqi Village, he wondered if Mr. Qi was Yan Ergou, who killed his best friend to replace him; now He felt that he could change direction, for example, revenge.

Qi Wangjing is known throughout the court for his steadfast love and mud, and the reason why he was favored by Emperor Tianhe is that he flattered horses and preached superstition, but many of his political opponents feared him like a tiger. When this energetic little old man smiled, they I can't help but back away from fear.

This shows that Mr. Qi is not as easy-talking as he appears, and he even has vengeance, and his methods are vicious.

Then if the case of Zuoqi village is still not solved, the possibility of Mr. Qi doing it himself is very high.This should be his biggest secret.

Wenzui also hopes that this is Mr. Qi's biggest secret, because even if someone with a heart reveals this story of revenge, at the moment when love is greater than law, Mr. Qi may not only not be criticized by others, but will be praised as bloody, For more than ten years, he has been trying his best to avenge the whole village.Everything that can sing or cry can be a big show.

However, Wen Zui's hand firmly pinned on Su Lin's name.

Whether it was Su Lin's appearance or what he did, it was too coincidental, as if he was deliberately guiding Commander Zhou step by step to find out what they wanted him to find out.

Wen Zui's intuition told him that he should still pay attention to the name Yan Ergou.

***

After everything was done at Wenzui's side, Qi Yifei realized that the funeral Wenzui was talking about was not for Tianhedi, but for... Zhang Zhen.

Qi Yifei: "???" You ask the cabinet to help you organize the funeral of the son of a criminal who has no reputation?

"Then what do you think I asked them to help me?" Wen Zui was also very surprised, "My father's funeral? Does it need to be so troublesome, such a big battle?"

If it wasn't for the fear of making a fuss too ugly and being used by someone with a heart, they would want a straw mat to wrap up for a funeral when they heard about the crime.

Once the emperor's mausoleum, which had been repaired a long time ago, was opened, it was thrown in and it was over.

Qi Yifei couldn't refute what he said.

When Mr. Qi and Fu Li took orders, they felt like dogs in the sun, but they still managed the funeral as best they could.Fu Li's relationship is the most complicated one. Although both he and Zhang Zhen are good friends of Qi Yifei, they look down on each other very much. One thinks that the other is a dude, and the other thinks such a child from other people's family is nothing. It's really annoying.The "friendship" between them can only be reflected in front of Qi Yifei.

But neither of them probably thought that there would be such a day when Fu Li would hold the funeral for Zhang Zhen.

Fu Li really deserved to be an old friend who was at odds with Zhang Zhen. After he took over, the first thing he did was to retire the troupe.Even if he knew that Qi Yifei had hired Zhang Zhen for the theater troupe, he insisted on it, because he didn't believe that dead people could hear the drama, and felt that Qi Yifei could no longer be allowed to go crazy.

The high-sounding reason given by Fu Li is also very sufficient: Zhang Zhen is currently being rescued remotely by the masters of Baoen Temple, and gongs and drums are beating in his ears, what should I do if it disturbs the purity of spellcasting?

Fortunately, Zhang Zhen was no longer in the prison, he was listening to the morning bell and evening drum at the foot of the Buddha in Baoen Temple.If Zhang Zhen was here, seeing Fu Li destroying his entertainment in such a way, he would probably become furious and become Fu Li's mastermind.

Qi Yifei also had no objection, he really forgot about this matter, the theater troupe was invited for Zhang Zhen, but Zhang Zhen is no longer in prison, so it was really singing for the air.

Before Zhang Zhen's funeral, Wen Zui asked Qi Yifei if he would accompany him out of the palace to see Zhang Zhen.

"Can I leave the palace?" Qi Yifei was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course you can leave the palace. I'm protecting you, not arresting you and going to jail." Wen Zui was very helpless, he raised his hand to hold Qi Yifei's hand, but was dodged instead, he was slightly surprised and opened his eyes wide Eyes, didn't you really want to be next to me a few days ago, why now it's...

As soon as Wen Zui rolled his eyes, he understood Qi Yifei's strange ways of avoiding suspicion.

The smile deepened, and the decision was made immediately, and I will show it to Eunuch Ding later, he is too good at drawing inferences from one instance!

Qi Yifei saw that Wen Zui suddenly fell silent because he avoided it, and looked a little pitiful, so Qi Yifei panicked.He hurriedly stuffed his hand back again, he was really instinctive.

Even if he stopped those weird scripts, he was still dreaming about hearing about crimes.

To be precise, even after taking a siesta, Qi Yifei would love to hear sin appear in his dreams.Full of lust, unrevealed, hooked his chin, and brutally pressed him against the wall, unfolding all kinds of...

Hard to describe.

Stop and stop, Qi Yifei didn't dare to think about it anymore, but tried his best to ignore the hand being held by Wen Zuo, and happily talked about the upcoming trip out of the palace.He said that he didn't want to go to the prison where his friend's body was, but to go to Baoen Temple.

Hearing the crime, he was puzzled: "Why?"

Qi Yifei really couldn't give any good reason, so he could only lie: "I think Abao's soul is here."

Wen Zui looked at Qi Yifei who was becoming more and more superstitious, and felt a little headache. He secretly touched his forehead, thinking that what Fu Li said was right, he could no longer indulge Qi Yifei to keep falling into this kind of thing.

For example, send that old man Fang Zhu away as soon as possible!

Although Qi Yifei agreed to send the old man Fang Zhu, but after a series of things happened, he was unable to free up his hands to send the old man Fang Zhu back to the deep mountains and old forests.

Elder Fang Zhu is not in a hurry, he should have arrived long ago, especially with a plan in mind.

The facts were exactly as he had calculated. In the end, the person who heard the crime personally sent him away safely.Before he left, he left a letter for Qi Yifei, but it was confiscated by Wen Gui and he did not show it to Qi Yifei.Wen Zui really didn't want Qi Yifei to engage in this kind of feudal superstition anymore.

Hearing the crime didn't hide it from Qi Yifei, and said to him clearly: "The old man Fang Zhu left you a thank you letter, so I won't give it to you."

"Why?" Qi Yifei wasn't angry, just curious.

"Because he's not a good guy!" Wen Zui naturally wouldn't say that Qi Yifei's superstition is not good, Qi Yifei is good in whatever he does, so he chose to hit others.

Qi Yifei knew the knot in his heart when he heard about the crime, so he thoughtfully didn't ask any more questions, just don't read it if you don't read it, it's just a thank you letter.

Just the day before Zhang Zhen's funeral, Qi Yifei and Wenzui drove to Baoen Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.In front of the mountain gate, Qi Yifei met Zhang Zhen who had been waiting there for a long time. The pearly white on Zhang Zhen's spiritual body faded a lot, and she looked like she was about to reincarnate at any time.

Qi Yifei was so worried that he insisted on taking Zhang Zhen away this time.

Zhang Zhen didn't want to leave, because he was really going to be reincarnated, and he thought it was a good thing: [I wanted to wait for you to find out who killed my fiancée, so I can go to Naihe Bridge with the answer , have the face to meet her.But I suddenly realized that she might be reincarnated earlier than me, and the later I left, the more likely I would miss her again. ] Zhang Zhen still wants to be husband and wife with Second Miss for the rest of her life, and continue the regrets of this life. He believes that he will become a very good person in his next life, and Second Miss will also become a very good lady of the family.

He will definitely treat her very well, infinitely better than in this life.

Zhang Zhen swears like this, and then said: [Besides, you are the one who investigates the case, and there are world-renowned counselors and luthiers, what more can I ask for? 】【to be honest. 】Qi Yifei didn't believe that Zhang Zhen would be such an easy person to figure it out.

Zhang Zhen and Qi Yifei are very similar in some respects. They have too much, and they seem to be indifferent to many things.But they are also very obsessed with certain people and things. Once they get their minds on it, it is absolutely impossible for them to give up easily.

[Hey, you can see all of this. 】Zhang Zhen turned her head around, smiling very silly, 【Well, I wanted to give you a surprise. 】【You don't listen to the corner in the temple, listen to it, and accidentally hear who the real murderer is behind the scenes, right? ] This is the answer that Qi Yifei can think of.Of course, this is also related to the fact that Qi Yifei has been with Wen Zui recently, allowing him to learn to think more than before.

[! ! !Can you save me a little fun? ] Zhang Zhen really, really knows.

Qi Yifei thought to himself that the luthier was about to cry. He tried so hard to investigate, but in the end, the captured Taoist priest still didn't reveal the real culprit behind the scenes.On the contrary, it was Zhang Zhen, a ignorant dandy who just stood in Baoen Temple, waiting for the silly rabbit to bump into the tree on its own initiative.Destiny is still a little goblin.

[The main reason is that the second princess believes in this more. He always comes to chat with the Buddha. How can I not know. ] Zhang Zhen was complacent, [However, I'm also very smart, just hurry up, praise me, don't stop. 】Qi Yifei politely satisfied Zhang Zhen, and he and Zhang Zhen exchanged business compliments.

[By the way, do you know?The second princess is actually a man! 】Zhang Zhen said to Qi Yifei mysteriously, preparing to surprise her friend.

【I know. 】But Qi Yifei has already been seen through by the drama,【My husband told me earlier. ] Zhang Zhen Siyuyan: ...it's amazing to have a husband.
