The Beautiful Land - Chapter 137
Although President Lu intends to mend the relationship between the two parties, Xi Fuwei hasn’t thought about doing anything to lay servants at the moment.
She worried that it was too late to send a message to Chen Thiellan.
After all, if the King of Han really colluded with Xing Xingshou and intended to use the miasma to destroy the Kaihe incident, other places don’t know that here in Shandong, Tan Lan and Song Li must bear the brunt.
One of these two is the Ministry of Industry’s Shangshu who is in charge of the entire river opening project, and the other is the Jinyiwei who is responsible for the smooth progress of the project of the river opening. Any accident will have a great impact.
The General Banner of Suoxinglu also knew this. After sending his confidant to report the letter, he immediately ordered the important witnesses to be endangered under torture, and called several famous doctors in the city to stand by.
I waited anxiously for two days. Before the reply from Shen Pilan, Song Li first sent someone to pick up Xi Fuwei, saying that he wanted to talk about the content of her previous letter in person, and the sooner it would be. The better the past.
“Ms. Xi, although Song Shangshu is your adoptive father, his old man is of high status and now he is shouldering a heavy responsibility. It is better not to let his old man worry as much as possible. What do you think?” President Lu heard the news. Arranging for someone to escort, while quietly discussing with Xi Fuwei, “After all, Song Shangshu is presiding over the opening of the river at this time, and he is showing up to your Majesty every three days, and I am tired even thinking about it.”
Xi Fuwei understood what he meant. This was because she was afraid that she would tell Song Li that she would count the lives of one hundred thousand people in order to seize the crown of Han.
Then Song Li’s confidant like Yongle Emperor, what if one wants to make a report?
“I’ll take care of it myself.” Understandably, Xi Fuwei didn’t mean to agree, and only vaguely said, “I’ll take care of it.”
General Lu arranged for Yu Kedi and Jin Yiwei, who had been called “Three Brothers” by Yu Kedi, to send her to see Song Li.
Upon hearing this, Yu Kedi said that there were too few manpower: “If you meet the remnants of Jianwen who robbed the prison before, I am afraid that my subordinates will not be able to protect Miss Xi well.”
“We can’t reduce the number of people here anymore.” But President Lu couldn’t help it. “We all have gangsters, so we can’t borrow from the yamen? If the borrower has a problem, wouldn’t it make you even worse? Fortunately, Song Shangshu also sent a carriage and guards to come, hoping that Miss Xi’s luck will be prosperous, so that she won’t meet the gangsters.”
He thought in his heart that Xi Fuwei’s registration with Jianwen Yuni was mainly because of his relationship with Chen Qianlan.
But at this time, men and wives are waiting in groups.
Especially stealing Lan’s identity, how can it be impossible to say that he has to die for a woman.
Jianwen Yu’s mistake is not a bad brain, how can he send a master to hunt down Xi Fuwei?
Their masters are not Chinese cabbage, and they have always used a lot of careful calculations. It is impossible to shoot so easily.
At most, it was the same as during the robbery.
So as long as you don’t bump into Jianwen’s remnant on the road, that’s it.
In fact, according to Lu Zongqi’s idea, Xi Fuwei had better not go out.
However, he was a little jealous of the girl at the moment, Xi Fuwei said that he was going, but Mr. Lu said nothing.
What’s more, Song Li and Xi Fuwei did not have much affection between the righteous father and daughter. In the final analysis, the name was made for Song Li’s biological daughter Song Jianiang… These Lu Zongqi also knew well.
At this time, someone was suddenly sent to pick up Xi Fuwei. It is impossible to say something about the relationship between father and daughter. 80% of them are serious.
President Lu was also afraid that he would be held responsible for major mistakes after blocking them.
He is a native of Jining, and he had a sympathy with Yu Kedi’s late father, and he has taken care of orphans and widows over the years.
At this moment, Yu Kedi didn’t say anything about his own difficulties.
So the three of them cleaned up a little, and then moved with the people sent by Song Li.
“After receiving the handwritten letter from the young lady, the master thought of something. He originally planned to come to Jining City to have an interview with the young lady, but the master is really busy with business.” The old servant of the Song family said to Xi Fuwei on the way, “I can’t get away. So let the old slaves come to pick up the young lady… The road is not very peaceful, Miss wronged.”
“Sharing worries for daddy is what a daughter should do.” Xi Fuwei said politely, “what’s the hard work? It’s bothering you all.”
The old servant hurriedly said that it is not annoying, that they do all the things they do.
After a few greetings, Xi Fuwei asked about Song Li’s current situation.
The old servant said: “The matter of opening the river is what your majesty meant. At Yingtian Mansion, your majesty will personally supervise, so all levels of yamen are still cooperating. The project on Wenshui side was assisted by Mr. Bai. Now Mr. Zhang is also nearby. , It is convenient for the people below to ask for instructions every day… Master, everything has been fine these days, just busy and tired.”
Xi Fuwei said a few words of concern, and seemed to inadvertently ask: “Daddy has been in Wenshui for this period of time. The adults also went to Wenshui two days ago. Did you go to see Daddy?
“It’s the matter in Wenshuipan Village?” The old servant didn’t let her down, and said immediately, “The matter was reported to the master at first, but the master did not judge the case, and did not have time to take care of these trivial matters. After hearing it, he gave it to Jining. The guard sent the letter. Hundreds of adults have come out in person, presumably it has been clear in the past two days?”
Xi Fuwei asked unexpectedly: “What is it?”
“It seems to be two murders.” The old servant said nonchalantly. “It was originally a trivial matter, and it should be handed over to the Yamen. But this murder case seems to involve two surnames. When the young men of the two families were out of service, they almost fought several times. Get up! The troubled master knows it, so he simply said to find them out.”
Xi Fuwei asked about the details of the murder case.
But the old servant couldn’t say clearly: “Xu is the ancestor of grievances or something, those in the countryside who love, hate and hate, go back and forth like that.”
Seeing that he didn’t want to say more, Xi Fuwei couldn’t help but suspect that she didn’t say it deliberately, but she was not the real Miss Song family after all. Song Li’s confidant was not easy to ask, so she smiled and changed the subject.
Jining City is still some distance away from where Song Li personally stationed on the banks of Wenshui River, and because of the need to change the river course, the carriage will not work after two days. Xi Fuwei said earlier that Yu Kedi would teach herself to ride a horse. However, no time has been spared to learn. At this moment, she could only sit on the horse, and Yu Kedi took the rein and walked slowly.
This speed naturally drops greatly.
In the evening, a group of people set up a camp by the river for the night.
This mission made the old servants of the Song family very familiar with them. It is estimated that they have been trained in hydrology with Song Li everywhere in the past two years.
Seeing that they had nothing to help, Xi Fuwei wanted to go to the river to wash her face.
Of course, Yu Kedi and the third brother followed suit.
Who knew that Xi Fuwei squatted down by the river and dipped her veil into the water. The bushes on the opposite side suddenly shook a few times, and then she got a little head!
She was shocked when she saw that face clearly: “Zou Yiang?!”
Zou Yiang’s nose and face were blue and swollen, and he obviously suffered a lot, but people familiar with him can still recognize it at a glance. He also saw Xi Fuwei, and he immediately showed a look of joy and anxiety intertwined. He wanted to say something, but he was pulled again without speaking. go back!
“Hurry up and call for someone!” Xi Fuwei immediately dropped her veil, and said anxiously to defeating the enemy and the third brother, “They are on the opposite side!”
However, the two of them calmly refused: “Jianwen Yuni didn’t show up at all, but deliberately let Zou Yiang tell you to see it. This was deliberately to lure the enemy to go deeper. At present, we don’t know what is arranged on the opposite river bank. We can’t chase it rashly. Go up.”
What’s more, “We came out this time mainly to protect you. Who knows if they throw Zou Yiang’s bait against you?”
“Zou Zhihan has already spoken, Zou Yiang’s value is not important anymore.” Yu Kedi said again, “this kid just let him fend for himself.”
After all, the third brother is not very familiar with Xi Fuwei, for fear that she will be unhappy after hearing this, adding: “Jianwen Yuni’s move is obviously to attract our attention and even slow down our schedule! See Song Shangshu. There are more important things for the young lady to go over and go over.”
Xi Fuwei is not a person who does not listen to persuasion, although she is very concerned about Zou Yiang’s safety, after being persuaded by the two for a long while, she had to breathe out, and said, “Go back first and take care of the Song family.”
After I didn’t want to go back to the camp, I saw that there was already a bonfire in the camp.
The point is that two corpses were placed next to the bonfire, and they were full of anger. There was a small white feather arrow stuck in the throat. There were purple-black blood stains in the place where the arrow cluster fell into the flesh, which was already condensed.
The old servant of the Song family and others stood in front of the corpse with blue faces, with a solemn atmosphere.
“This is?” Xi Fuwei was taken aback when she saw this.
“They said they went into the woods to see if there was any game, and added a meal for you.” The old servant’s muscles twitched on his face, and he said after a while, “It turned out that someone went to the woods to collect firewood after a while. Just discovered……”
“Seal the throat with one arrow.” Yu Kedi and the third brother went forward to test briefly, and said, “The murderer should be lurking in the forest, waiting for these two brothers to attack when they are defenseless… This brother died without resisting at all.”
Yu Kedi turned his head and looked at Xi Fuwei before continuing, “These two brothers… should have just left.”
The old servant of the Song family didn’t pay much attention to his last sentence, and said: “The old slave has sent someone to search the neighborhood, but nothing was found.”
The third brother asked casually: “Where is the tree?”
“Will the school lieutenant help?” The old servant of the Song family waited for the help of the two Jinyiwei, who specializes in surgery. Jinyiwei is more good at searching and arresting than their guards.
While the third brother was invited by them to search again, Yu Kedi walked to Xi Fuwei’s side: “The two people will definitely not be too long when they die. It is estimated that it was when we were talking by the river.”
Xi Fuwei asked him: “What?”
“But the blood has coagulated.” Yu Kedi said, “including the blood flowing from the middle of the arrow… and, it looks a bit like suffocating to death?”
“They got arrows in their throats. It’s normal for them to breathe hard when they hurt their trachea.” Xi Fuwei said lightly.
Yu Kedi said, “I just thought it was a bit strange, but I didn’t have anything in hand at the moment, so I can only take a look.”
After a while, Xi Fuwei seemed to think of something and looked at him: “Among the books I memorized in the adult’s study, there is a travel note from a predecessor. It mentioned that there is a poisonous arbor in Yunnan. It’s called’seeing the blood to seal the throat.’ The local natives gather its sap to make poisonous arrows and shoot people and animals, and all of them die quickly.
Yu Kedi’s pupils suddenly contracted: “What are the signs of this poison?”
“Similar to the two you mentioned.” Xi Fuwei frowned, “Heartbeat slowed down and died of suffocation.”
“…I remember that Yunnan is the domain of His Royal Highness Han?” Yu Kedi’s face changed and changed, he looked around at the people left behind, and asked in a low voice, “Is this?”
