Wishful Things

Chapter 371

——How did you die?

"What does that mean?" Xu Ming was stunned for a moment.

Is that what he thinks?

But since this idea is too animal, he'd better listen to it again.

"In a few days, the imperial edict that the emperor appointed him to enter the Zhongshu province will be issued. What if his mother suddenly died of illness after he entered the Zhongshu province?"

“……”

Xu Ming suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Is that what he thought?

If his mother died of illness after entering the Chinese Library Province, it would take Ding you three years

Even if the emperor valued it again, the official position of Zhongshu was low, and there was no reason to make an exception to seize love, which was also impossible.

"In contrast, it's more cost-effective to die now," said Xu Mingyi, looking at the red heart on the target not far away. "Moreover, Jia's mind seems to be a little confused. It's difficult to say what he did in the past."

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Zhan yunjiao.

Previously, Zhan yunjiao suddenly changed her confession and confessed Xia Xi. She only thought that Zhan yunjiao was persuaded by the Ji family

Now I think it should be her brother who persuaded her.

But even if you are a brother, how can you convince a man who is about to commit a felony?

On that day in the hall, Zhan yunjiao was in a state of active cooperation, as if he was not afraid of the punishment of exile he would face next.

To this end, she had people watch the subsequent exile in secret, thinking that she might be able to seize a handle on Jixiu.

But on Zhan yunjiao's way to exile, no accident happened.

No one saved her, no one replaced her.

Now, she finally wants to know who really cheated Zhan yunjiao

Some people strive for power and profit and want to stand higher as far as possible, not only for themselves, but also to shine at home and let their close relatives live a better life.

Can account for different cloud bamboo——

It seems that he was born only for interests. He is selfish enough to use all people and things for power and status. If anything hinders his progress, even his biological mother will become a bloody victim on his way to profit.

Even if he guessed it, Xu Mingshi still fell into a huge cognitive shock at this time and couldn't come back for a long time.

Xu Mingyi has asked Zhu Xiu, "has anyone closely explored the cause of Jia's death?"

"Zhan Yunzhu is surrounded by guards. At first, his subordinates can only watch from a distance. There are more and more people behind. His subordinates can sneak in while there is chaos. Zhan Yunzhu has been kneeling by the bed. His subordinates still can't check closely."

Zhu Xiu speculated: "but judging from the situation in the house at that time, Jia's death was quiet and no trauma. I think it was mostly suffocated by people with quilts, cotton pillows and other things."

He was able to see Jia's body, which was already stained with the light of the neighbors who went to see the excitement in the name of mourning.

Seeing her girl frowning and thinking, a moment later, Zhu Xiu said again: "this kind of thing can't be proved unless someone sees it with his own eyes."

Xu Mingyi straightened the corners of his mouth.

Of course she knows.

Unlike strangling her neck, covering her mouth and nose with a soft object causes people to suffocate and die, leaving almost no obvious damage on her face. Even if she tries to cause discussion on this matter, it can be verified that Jia died of suffocation, but she is not a healthy person who suffocated for no reason, but has been ill for a long time. It is said that she has lung disease, and coughing and panting are not smooth

Not to mention, Zhan Yunzhu acted cautiously. After staying in front of Jia's body for a long time, he must have covered up all the traces.

Therefore, if you want to use this to deal with Zhan Yunzhu in the open, it is obviously impossible.

"Let people continue to stare." Xu Mingyi still confessed.

Even if it seems useless now, no one can say what will happen in the future.

Even some things, if used in the right place and at the right time, sometimes do not need enough evidence to achieve the goal

So, let's check it first.

Zhu Xiu has no doubt that he should go down.

At this time, the girl took an arrow from the arrow pot on one side, put it on the string and opened the bow——

The girl stood upright on her side, her eyes narrowed slightly on her focused face.

In a moment, the feather arrow left the string, broke the wind, rushed to the direction of the target, and steadily plunged into the red heart.

……

It's getting dark.

Even if the weather has already warmed up, the business of Xuesheng teahouse in the South Lane of the city is still bleak.

In the snow sound teahouse with poor business, the atmosphere at this time is very strange.

Shisun brought guests today.

This guest is not someone else, but the Duke himself!

Thinking of the grudge between the fierce general and his own prince, the teahouse people couldn't help feeling complicated - what's the difference between bringing the enemy into their own camp?

And General Xu is not a vegetarian. As soon as he stepped into their teahouse and met them, his eyes had revealed the deep meaning of "this teahouse is a little interesting".

If the Lord knows this, he will have to shave off a lot of his beard in anger?

Among the people, Shouming is the calmest and most enthusiastic one.

The town government, he likes it very much.

And it may be a family in the future.

Shouming, who was busy before and after running, went upstairs with a food box.

On the second floor, lights were on. Wu Tsui and the Duke of the town were sitting near the window, drinking tea.

Shouming came forward with a smile and saluted, putting the hot meals in the two food boxes on the table.

Xiao Qi rushed to the Zhuangyuan building to buy the food. He rode back and forth without daring to delay for a moment.

The Duke of the town took a taste and nodded with satisfaction.

In the palace, he made an appointment with the Wu family boy to see the champion building after returning to the city, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was not appropriate for them to have a meal together openly.

The number one scholar building has many eyes. As soon as he goes in, he must be recognized.

If the Wu boy is also recognized, it will cause unnecessary rumors and trouble.

I'd like to dress up. It's easy for the Wu family boy to say, but where can he hide his majestic and outstanding temperament by changing his clothes? Isn't that self deception?

So the boy proposed to take him to the remote and lonely teahouse.

At this time, Shouming is carrying a wine pot to pour wine for the two, but he sees his Shisun reach out his hand in time and pick up the wine pot.

Wu Tsui personally poured wine for the Duke of the town. In a respectful tone, he said, "younger generation, respect the Duke of the town."

The young man's attitude was so good that the Duke of the town drank the wine with a smile.

Wu Tsui also drank the wine in the cup.

Seeing the young man's calm expression, the Duke of the town asked casually, "how about Wu Shisun's drinking capacity?"

This sentence instantly pulled Wu Tsui back to the night of the hot spring villa outside Ningyang city

That night, Zhaozhao asked him the same question.

He answered calmly and confidently.

But the result was somewhat unexpected.

At that time, he didn't have a clear understanding of his drinking capacity. Now that he knows it, he truthfully said, "the younger generation has a poor drinking capacity. Please forgive me."

"Why, I'm very strict at home. I seldom touch wine in ordinary days?" asked the Duke of the town.

"It's not. It should be the lack of talent of the younger generation."

The Duke of town said "Oh".

He thought Wu Jun was in charge of everything. He wanted to take the opportunity to satirize the old guy. It's a pity.

"According to the younger generation's drinking capacity, I'm afraid it's difficult to make the Duke enjoy himself." Wu Tsui obviously made arrangements for this: "but the cashier in the teahouse has a fair drinking capacity and has a good conversation. Maybe he can accompany him."

Listening to him, he didn't seem to hide that the teahouse was his own industry. He asked Mr. cashier to accompany the guests. The Duke of the town looked at him and said, "what do you want to do with outsiders? I seem to be greedy for your wine. I want to drink. When can't I drink?"

In the face of the Frank old man, Wu Tsui said with a smile, "what the duke said is very true. It's the younger generation who cares more."

The Duke of the town will not be angry for this "worry". He is not confused between good and bad people, but also understands the thoughtful intention of the young man.

Seeing that the young man filled the empty glass again, the Duke of the town took it up and said, "I'd like to toast you, too, for my grandson -"

"You're welcome."

Wu Tsui picked up the wine glass, which was a little lower.

"If you need my help in the future, you can speak as much as you can." the Duke of the town put down his glass and said bluntly, "but it's only between you and me. I don't care if it's related to your grandfather."

Wu Tsung answered "yes".

After all, he really needs General Xu's help to nod his head in the future

And this matter has nothing to do with his grandfather.

"Remove the wine pot and change it for tea." the Duke of the town said to Shouming, who was waiting on one side.

Wu Tsui asked, "the Duke of the state doesn't eat wine?"

The Duke of the town disapproved and said, "it's the same with tea."

He's not the kind of bad old man who bullies his younger generation.

And it's good for young people to drink less wine.

Fed up with the second son's confused bear appearance all day, the old man now looks at the sober and refreshing young man in front of him and feels more and more pleasing to the eye - it's just like a person!

As a result, the originally agreed liquor Bureau became a place where people, old and young, sat opposite each other, ate vegetables and talked.

Wu Tsui had the rule of eating without speaking since childhood, but in the face of informal old people, he naturally changed his state, as if it had always been the case.

The Duke of Zhenguo, who paid attention to these details, was very comfortable.

He still remembers the limited conditions in the military camp. Wu Jun insisted on eating at his own table because he thought he talked too much.

Of course, everyone has his own habits, which is understandable.

But when you're really on the bar with the same person, it's hard to avoid being pleasing to the eye everywhere.

Even though both sides have the habit of silently accommodating each other, this meal is still spent in a relaxed, pleasant and tacit atmosphere.

Wu Chiu even felt inexplicably warm.

He had never eaten so casually with any elder.

The dishes were removed and replaced with fresh seasonal fruit dishes and hot tea.

"During this period of time, the Duke must be more careful." Shouming and others retreated. During the chat, Wu Tsui reminded them.

The Duke of the town took a sip of tea and said, "no day dares to relax his vigilance."

But that night, his mobilization of Xu Jiajun must have reached the emperor's ears. Now we really need to be more careful in case the emperor suddenly goes crazy.

"It's a good thing that the Duke of China has always been vigilant." Wu Chiu said, "especially the king of Yan will go to Beijing in more than ten days -"

The Duke nodded slightly.

"You really can't take it lightly at such a moment. Your grandfather is not in Beijing. You should pay more attention to discretion when you and the son of God meet the king of Yan in the future."

Although he and Wu Jun disagreed, he was most looking forward to the other party's baldness as soon as possible and falling out to eat the mud, rather than looking at the other party's big family.

And the young man in front of him is his future grandson-in-law.

After listening to the old man's kind advice, Wu Tsui answered carefully.

"Speaking of the king of Yan, but your immediate uncle..." knowing that the teahouse is unusual, you don't have to worry that the walls have ears. The Duke of town is less taboo: "but if you count your age, you should have never seen this uncle?"

"Yes, I was born in the first year of Qingming Dynasty. Bizhao - well, I'm one year older than Miss Xu."

The Duke of the town took a look at the young man. He didn't hear the word that the other party missed. He continued: "speaking, I think you have some similarities with your uncle."

This is a small talk.

But Wu Tsui was stunned. Suddenly, he thought of the portrait hanging in the Qizhen courtyard of his late aunt in Dingnan palace in Ningyang.

He also has some similarities with his eldest aunt.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Wu Tsui asked, "I don't know where the younger generation is similar to King Yan?"

Can it be said that the royal highness of the Yan king and his eldest aunt still have a rumored husband and wife?

"If it's true, in fact, there's no similarity in the facial features alone." Zhenguo Justice: "I can't tell. I think it may be that the Qi field is similar -"

After thinking about it, he shook his head again: "it's not... When King Yan was young, his temperament was more publicized than you. He either wrestled with others or compared swords, or he was trying to figure out how to sneak attack the enemy camp..."

In front of the young man, the noble spirit of the children of the aristocratic family is particularly noticeable.

The first time in his mind that they were similar was when he was hunting in the forest that day. At that time, he only regarded it as the similarity between the two young people who were excellent in riding and shooting.

But then I thought of it accidentally and felt it was not so simple.

That's why I mentioned it to Wu Tsui at this time.

But now I really want him to say, but I don't understand.

Seeing the old man frowning and thinking hard, Wu Chiu smiled and said, "after King Yan entered Beijing, the Duke of the state may remember when he saw someone face to face."

The Duke shook his head and said, "it's been 18 years. It depends on how much he has changed now..."

Eighteen years.

The emperor has been in office for eighteen years.

After leaving Beijing, King Yan became a vassal and stationed in Beidi for 18 years.

And he is 18 years old.

Many things really happened that year.

By the way, his eldest aunt, Princess Qianyan, seems to have died that year

Wu Tsui took a sip of tea and thought faintly appeared at the bottom of her eyes.

In the backyard, Mr. Mo, who was so hungry that he growled, glanced in the direction of the second floor.

He's been waiting all night.

And just now I saw that the food had been withdrawn. Should he accompany me with this wine?

He had planned to go out and do a big job tonight. Even if he cut his head and poured it directly into his stomach, he would get the Duke of the town drunk, so as to bring back the city for their king!
