Wen Family Has a Wife

Old Jitou was surprised when he received the news, smiled, and said with his confidant: "I didn't expect Yuanliang's mother to think so far, no wonder he can lead the Wen family to where they are today, that's all, since they If you choose to hide, you should send more people to watch over there, and if anyone who doesn't have a good eye goes there to cause trouble, he will be killed directly."

"Yes!" The confidant retreated swiftly.

Old Ji paused, then raised his feet and walked towards Chengqing Palace.

As soon as the gate of the huge palace was opened, the royal family, nobles, civil and military officials who had been locked up all night had changed from initial shock and panic to anger and anxiety. Relying on the large number of people, they began to shout non-stop. Only Prince Li, Xiao Guang and others Standing still, he continued to drink and eat food calmly, acting as if he had nothing to do with himself.

Old Jitou walked forward slowly, the place he passed was immediately quiet, and when he walked to the front, the noisy hall returned to dead silence.

Old Ji turned to Xiao Guang with a masked face, walked up to him, and stood still.

Everyone saw that their hearts were lifted up, and their eyes wandered back and forth between the two in disbelief.

Prince Xian even frowned and asked directly: "Your Commander came here this time, but have you found the murderer who poisoned the Fifth Prince?"

"I don't understand what Prince Xian said. Is it possible that you think the murderer is my son?" Xiao Guang turned back without changing his face. There was a wicked and flamboyant smile on his arrogant and unruly face. Not a trace of fear.

Prince Xian sneered and snorted, "I know if you did it. There have been no accidents in the palace banquet for so many years, but the fifth prince died when the prince came. If you say that it has nothing to do with the prince, I don't believe it!"

Prince Li frowned and scolded: "Enough! Don't talk about things without evidence."

"My son, the virtuous prince has always loved the fifth prince as if he were his own son. When this happened, he was indignant for a moment, and he was a little unscrupulous. Don't take it to heart." Prince Li apologized on behalf of the virtuous prince. Prince Xian took a look.

Prince Xian didn't buy it, and scolded angrily: "You don't need to pretend to be kind here! It's just a chicken of the same feather. The fifth prince is gone, and everyone is suspected. This is an indisputable fact!"

"I think you've lost your head!" Prince Li was so angry that he took a piece of pastry and stuffed Prince Xian's mouth.

Prince Xian struggled desperately.

The two princes were making such a fuss in front of civil and military officials, the royal family and nobles, everyone's mouths almost dropped from the shock.

Old Jitou stepped forward speechlessly, one by one, and forcibly separated them. He warned in a deep and majestic voice: "Calm down a bit, and make trouble afterward!"

The two snorted and turned their heads away at the same time.

The old Ji headed towards Xiao Guang, and said indifferently: "Okay, the show is over, the son will go out with me first, and I need to ask the truth about some things."

Xiao Guang got up very cooperatively, and followed the old Jitou with steady steps, without any panic.

In the side hall of Chengqing Palace.

Old Jitou stared at the man sitting in front of him, twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked coolly: "Master, I'm going to ask you a few things now, and please answer truthfully."

Xiao Guang made a gesture of invitation, which was extremely cooperative.

The old Ji Tou didn't waste time with him, and asked directly: "According to the information I have investigated, the Shizi entered Beijing on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. After entering Beijing, he rested in the Dingbei Palace for two days. He didn't go out for these two days. No one ever came to visit. Afterwards, when you entered the palace, you had contact with the third prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, and other princes, and seemed to chat for a few words. Could you please tell the truth, you have told them all? what?"

Xiao Guang looked puzzled, and said with a half-smile: "Master Commander, let me ask you, you met a certain gentleman on the road ten days ago, and you chatted with him, do you still remember what you said to him?

Can't remember it! No normal person would remember these things, but after this son came to Beijing, everyone he met for the first time would say hello first, probably just talking about these things, and then talk about the situation in Mobei. "

"That's it?" Old Ji was suspicious.

"That's it!" Xiao Guang was very determined.

The old Jitou then asked: "But I heard from the palace people that the eldest son and the fifth prince spent a lot of time that day, could it be that you just talked about it?"

Xiao Guang shrugged, "Otherwise!" Anyway, now that everyone is dead, does it matter what you say?

Old Ji paused for a moment, and didn't press the question again, "Then let's change the subject. After entering the palace, the son went out more times, and he was very low-key. He went out to restaurants, tea shops, flower houses, and went to Liu'an once. Lane, I don’t know which family the Shizi is going to visit there? What’s the matter?”

Now it was Xiao Guang's turn to be surprised, "You can all find out about this! Amazing!"

This response...

Old Ji froze for a moment, even the people across the door were a little surprised.

I only heard Xiao Guang say in a dispirited manner: "It's a long story to say, but it's not impossible to talk about it, as long as you are patient, it doesn't matter if I tell you all.

Years ago when I was suppressing bandits in Mobei, I was plotted against by someone and almost died. If I don’t take revenge, I will never quit, so I ordered people to chase and kill those bandits all the way. My people managed to find them I hid in the deep mountains of Qing'an County, Dizhou, so I took my men and horses and killed them. I didn't expect to be robbed there again. I was penniless and had no choice but to ask Shen Bian, the county magistrate of Qing'an County at that time, for help.

But he was ridiculed for a while, and later went out to the restaurant with Shen Bian, the fellow said shamelessly that he had no money and asked me to treat him, but I had no money, and I couldn't lose face, so he gritted his teeth and took his personal jade token The proprietress of the restaurant pawned it, and she agreed to redeem it afterwards, but as soon as she returned, she received the news that Mobei had lost the battle, so she had to hurry back.

Before I came to the capital this time, I specially sent someone to Qing'an County to redeem things. I didn't know that the whole family had moved to the capital, and they had some connections with Shen Bian's nephew. Without people, I can only return without success. "

When the old Jitou heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he knew who Xiao Guang was talking about without even thinking about it, "So you went to Deputy Commander Wen's house, looking for Mrs. Wen?"

"That's right!" Xiao Guang gave the old Ji a thumbs up, and muttered dejectedly: "Who knew that it was so unfortunate that the two daughters-in-laws of the Wen family were going to have children, and Mrs. Wen went to the second daughter-in-law's house. If I had made a trip, I would have just asked Shen Wei to come forward for me."

The old Jitou's mouth twitched fiercely, he admired the Wen family so much, he was so lucky to meet so many great people while living in such a remote place! Fortunately, these things have nothing to do with this palace banquet, and the Wen family is not a powerful family, so it doesn't matter that much.

So the old Jitou changed another question and asked again, the people behind the door had already sent people out to verify what Xiao Guang said, and when Xiao Guang walked out of the side hall of Chengqing Palace, there was already a stack of papers in front of the emperor's desk.
