I am fish

The originally gray sky completely darkened, and snowflakes floated on Zhen Wenjun's head and shoulders one by one, gradually wrapping her into a snowman.

She was still wearing a brand-new wedding dress, and a corner of the skirt was exposed in the snow, like a dried blood clot.

Zhen Wenjun's face was stiff, expressionless, like a corpse that had been here for hundreds of years.

Wang Wulang's recollection of Ruan's Aqiong is only until she disappeared into the vast crowd with her child in her arms. After that, Wang Wulang doesn't know where this legendary woman went and what happened to her.

"Stop following me. Following me will only lead to endless danger."

Wang Wulang always remembered A Qiong's firmness when their master and servant parted. Wang Wulang cried bitterly. He had followed the Ruan family for so many years, and now she was the only one in the Ruan family. How could Wang Wulang be willing to leave?

"Girl... I know that the girl wants to save my life, but I have sworn to assist the Ruan family until the day he is buried! Girl! There is a sea of ​​swords and flames, let the servant follow the girl!"

The cold wind of the night was blowing in the valley, Wang Wulang kowtowed to A Qiong until his forehead was covered with blood, and his face was covered with tears, but A Qiong didn't move at all, she didn't even look over.

"You were bought back to the Ruan family by my father, right?" Aqiong asked.

"Yes, when there was a famine, Duke Ruan took pity on his servant's parents who wanted to exchange children for food, so he bought the servant back with a bag of noodles."

Talking about his father, Aqiong showed a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Father, who has always been full of kindness, and the elegant Ruan Gong who is loyal to Yu, never thought that he would end up like this in the end." Aqiong said to Wang Wulang, "From now on, you are free, and you are no longer a member of the Ruan family. Go."

No matter how much Wang Wulang begged, A Qiong ignored him.

"A Qiong of the Ruan family just disappeared into the vast crowd, and Wang Wulang never saw him again." Bu Jie said, "But Wang Wulang did a very important thing. He brought the last clue of the Ruan family to Sudu , it was he who was recorded in the language of the Gujin tribe.”

Zhen Wenjun can guess about A Qiong's follow-up that Wang Wulang doesn't know about.

Aunt is a very high-minded person, Xie Fuchen approached her for an impure purpose at the beginning, no matter whether he really fell in love with Amu in the process, until the end, not only broke her heart, even got pregnant before marriage, had His child, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the mother.She never mentioned the matter of Xie Fuchen to herself, and she has no nostalgia for the splendid past, but she kept admonishing her daughter not to show her sharpness, but to learn to keep a low profile and restrain herself.It can be seen that she is trying to forget the past, forgetting the past with Xie Fuchen.

She concealed her name and changed her name to "Xiao Shi", one is to commemorate her ancestors, and the other is to avoid being traced.Even in the early years of God, she is still a very sensitive topic, and if she is found out, there is a high possibility of death.

But she is a genius after all, she may not be willing to have her only daughter spend her whole life doing nothing in this small county town in the northwest border, and she doesn't want her daughter to be a domestic slave all her life.She saw her daughter's intelligence and shining points, so she polished her in secret, hoping that one day she could also make a difference, so as not to let her clever mind be dusted.

Grandmother is contradictory, which can be seen from her teaching to her daughter.

She is also very smart, if Xie Fuchen is really moved by his mother's fake play as Wang Wulang said, he will definitely look for her whereabouts everywhere.But he would never have thought that his mother would be so bold, hiding in the home of Xie's clan in Suichuan, actually under Xie Fuchen's nose.

For so many years, Xie Fuchen didn't find out at all.

In fact, even if he met his grandmother, after so many years, the grandmother is old and her legs are disabled, can he still recognize this village woman as the dazzling female general back then?

Thinking along the clues like this, Grandmother entered Xie Taihang's residence in Suichuan back then, making Xie Fuchen's daughter look like the result of Xie Taihang's temper after drinking, and it was all planned.

Even if this daughter looks like Xie Fuchen after birth, Xie Taixing, an idiot, won't doubt it.Even if he doesn't like it, Xie Taixing still thinks that it is his own flesh and blood, so he won't drive their mother and daughter out.

Grandmother was able to hide in a corner in those years and raise her daughter to grow up with peace of mind. It was all planned by her...

As for Xie Fuchen, Wei Jing and the tragedy of rushing to Sichuan, it was probably also the result of years of accumulated grievances.

According to Wang Wulang, Wei Jinghe should be the last person to see A Qiong, how should he go back to his life?It must be that Aqiong is dead, so Emperor Ming did not continue to track down her whereabouts.

Wei Tingxu said that she was in trouble when she was nine years old. If she hadn't lied about her age——Zhen Wenjun was calculating—according to the fact that she was four years older than her real age, that would be five years after Ah Qiong disappeared. Years later, the Wei family became a thorn in the eyes of the emperor, causing Xie Fuchen to kill him.

In fact, it is easy to understand. After the Ruan family was eliminated, the Hu clan's nuisance remained. Emperor Ming urgently needed another general to guard the country for him and drive out the Hu thieves.On the other hand, for the sudden disappearance of such a prestigious family as the Ruan family, the common people may not say anything about it, but they always think about it in their hearts. Once Da Yu loses in the battlefield, the common people will even stir in secret.

How can we make everyone forget Nguyen?Emperor Ming's mind is clear, he needs to install another stalwart general to replace Ruan.This burden naturally fell on the Wei family, and on Wei Jinghe.

Wei Jinghe's own abilities are not inferior to A Qiong's, and he is also a dragon and phoenix among men. It is by no means difficult to make frequent military exploits.

I'm afraid that within five years, the Wei family will replace the former Ruan family and become the most powerful weapon of the Li family.

And the tragedies of history are always circulating, with extremely similar faces.

Judging by Li Yanyi's methods now, one knows that it is impossible to sit on the throne of God without suspicion.Whoever has unparalleled achievements will become the new target of the emperor's defense.

What's more, Wei Jinghe was the last person to see Aqiong.

How Wei Jinghe turned to Emperor Ming, probably no one knows now.But if Zhen Wenjun was Emperor Ming, she would not have believed Wei Jinghe's words and even doubted Wei Jinghe's loyalty if she hadn't seen the real corpse.In the years that followed, the rise of the Wei family further magnified the suspicion and fear of the throne, coupled with Xie Fuchen's help, finally came the best time to get rid of Wei Jinghe.

Xie Fuchen imprisoned Wei Jinghe, Wei Tingxu, and a group of servants of the Wei family in Luanchuan, killing many people probably in order to let Wei Jinghe tell A Qiong's whereabouts.Wei Jinghe would rather have his younger sister abused and would rather die so many people than reveal the whereabouts of Aqiong's mother and daughter. It may be that he is determined to protect Aqiong from being harassed by Xie Fuchen or even continued to be chased by Emperor Ming.However, Zhen Wenjun is more inclined to another possibility - Wei Jinghe may not know the whereabouts of his mother, he just let his mother go, and his mother did not tell him where he was going.It's just that Xie Fuchen, who wanted to find A Qiong back, didn't believe it until he killed Wei Jinghe.

After many years, the situation rose again.

The little lady who suffered innocently in Luanchuan back then carried a seed of revenge in her arms, and this seed slowly sprouted under her careful cultivation.She began to lay a net to make Mrs. Xie and even Mrs. Li pay for their blood!

The past was like a hurricane with a strong smell of blood, blowing Zhen Wenjun's mind into a mess.

There is one more important thing that has not been solved.

"So why did the Emperor Ming destroy the entire Ruan family? What was the reason for the destruction of the Ruan family and everything that happened after that? It can't be as simple as being so powerful. If it was just the emperor's suspicion, it would be impossible to be so ruthless immediately. What's more, if the Ruan family is killed, what should the Wei family do if they can't support it? Who will guard the border for him when the Hu tribe invades? Emperor Ming also suspected the Wei family, but he just killed the Wei family. Jing He treated the Wei family as a beating, but treated the Ruan family much more crazily. It was not enough to kill the nine clans, but also to kill all the people with the Ruan surname. It took a lot of effort to wipe out the traces of the Ruan family's existence. Jing..." Zhen Wenjun asked, "The letter you sent back last time said that no one knew the reason why the Ruan family was exterminated, even Wang Wulang didn't know?"

Bu Jie nodded: "Exactly."

"Then..." Zhen Wenjun was upset for a while, but Bu Jie still smiled calmly.

Zhen Wenjun stared at him, waiting for him to speak.

Bu Jie never let her down.

"Wang Wulang doesn't know, but Wen Sheng knows."

"Speak quickly!" Zhen Wenjun almost shouted.

Over the years, step by step started with the small black bird totem, all the way to find out the predecessor of the Ruan clan, and also found out the massacre of the year.This matter has become the focus of his life, and more and more mysteries have been investigated, arousing Bu Jie's fighting spirit, and he must unveil the veil of Dayu's royal family.

Bu Jie talked with Wang Wulang all night, and after digging out all the past of the Ruan family, like Zhen Wenjun, he was very interested in the reason why the Emperor Ming suspected the Ruan family and insisted on killing all of them.

What can make an emperor so afraid and even go crazy is not just the vague reason of high meritorious deeds and self-reliance.

There was only one possibility, and that was a real threat to Emperor Ming's throne, and Emperor Ming was very sure of this threat.

Emperor Ming and the Ruan family were well aware of this threat, and Duke Ruan predicted that the Ruan family's catastrophe was imminent.

Bujie didn't sleep for a few days. In the dead of night, he sat on the top of the mountain in Sudu's house. Everything was silent and the cool breeze was blowing. He wanted to understand a little bit.

This matter that could pose a threat to the throne was probably done by Emperor Ming and the Ruan family together.

Suddenly, Bu Jie had a feeling, and he began to investigate all the major events in the central government since Emperor Ming was born.As soon as he started to investigate, Bu Jie discovered a very, very interesting thing.

It turns out that Emperor Ming is a twin, and he also has a twin brother, King Rui Li Zhu!

Bu Jie had a faint guess in his heart, and immediately started to investigate the matter of King Rui, and found out that King Rui died in the eighth year of Anyuan, and at that time there were still four years before Emperor Ming ascended the throne.

The first time point coincided, and Bu Jie continued to investigate excitedly.

It is not easy to find out what happened to the Ruan family, but it is very convenient to find out what happened to the emperor.

After the death of King Rui, Emperor Ming was still the crown prince at that time, and Emperor Ming was deeply saddened by the death of his twin brother, which led to a serious illness. He lived in the East Palace for more than half a year, and very few people had seen him.During this period, the East Palace has been very quiet, and the historical materials have scribbled records of everything that happened during it, as if they were cut off by someone.Until the tenth year of Anyuan, a major case suddenly broke out in the East Palace, someone wanted to poison the prince!Emperor Ming ordered his life to save his life, but the target of poisoning turned to everyone in the East Palace, even the Crown Princess could not escape the suspicion.

The prince poisoning incident triggered a big change in the East Palace. From the princess to all the maids and servants, all were abolished and killed, and replaced by another group of people.Two years later, Emperor Ming ascended the throne. In the first year of Zhenghong, Emperor Ming's youngest son died.Emperor Ming, who had few heirs, made the Geng family his queen and gave birth to the princess Li Yanyi.

Until Li Yanyi was born, everything after that was nothing to investigate, and it felt normal.What Bu Jie cares most about is what happened between the eighth year of Anyuan and the tenth year of Anyuan.

Even if Emperor Ming and King Rui were twin brothers, the death of a younger brother would make the crown prince grieve for nearly a year, and he didn't even see anyone. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed to be an excuse, as if he was trying to hide something.After that, there was a bloodbath in the East Palace, and even the Crown Princess could not escape the bad luck.What's even more bizarre is that the youngest son of Emperor Ming died as soon as he ascended the throne. This may be the last person close to Emperor Ming, and he also died... This method is a bit like Emperor Ming's removal of the Ruan family afterward.

The Ruan family was removed to hide the secret, so did the Donggong tragedy also come from the hands of Emperor Ming?

Bu Jie used to assume first, assuming that Emperor Ming did all this, then there must be a special reason driving him to do so.

"Because he wants to kill everyone who is familiar with the prince." When Bu Jie said this, Zhen Wenjun, whose face had been as pale as snow, also thought of it, "Because he is not the prince...he is Rui Wang Li Zhu!"

Bu Jie nodded deeply: "I also speculated that way. I have lived in the East Palace for nearly a year to alienate others. Even if it reappears after a serious illness, a slight change in appearance can be deduced as the cause of serious illness. But even if it is Twins, close wives, children and servants can always be found, Emperor Ming simply created a big case to kill all these people, and after ascending the throne, another queen will be established, and the throne will be considered secure from then on.”

Zhen Wenjun bit his lip at some point, and the smell of blood in his mouth didn't even know it: "Then the reason why the Ruan family is suspected is because the Ruan family helped King Rui's civet cat to replace the prince? Ruan Gong knows This insider?!"

Bu Jie said: "Although the Ruan family has always lived in Runing, Ruan Gong and Rui Wang Li Zhu have always been very close. It is said that the two are close friends who talk about everything. During the Zhenghong period, the Ruan family became the emperor's confidants. Thinking about it here and there, Wen Sheng also thought the same as the girl, killing the prince and then bloodbathing the East Palace, and finally ascending to the throne smoothly, it is impossible to rely on one party's strength to do it. King Rui himself has thousands of Menke, the Ruan family is very resourceful and able to assist King Rui in such a big event, at that time, only the Ruan family could do it."

"Wen Sheng, all this is just our speculation. If there is no real evidence..."

"There are girls."

Zhen Wenjun's spirit was lifted.

"Wen Sheng thought about it. If the person in the palace is King Rui, then the one buried in the loess instead of King Rui is very likely to be the real prince Li Ao. I went to visit the family members and slaves of King Rui's mansion. Fortunately, this was only more than 20 years ago, and the traces cannot be completely erased. It is also lucky to say that Wen Sheng did not get any beneficial clues after searching around, but it is said that there is a slave named Ah Jun in King Rui. When he died, I kept vigil for him, but I was frightened and ran out of the palace screaming. This matter was quite strange, so I went to Ajun’s hometown to find it. After searching for almost half a month, I thought that Ajun had died. When I was not alive, Ajun found me. He has changed his name to Awang now, guarding two acres of land to live. On the first day I arrived, he saw me and asked about his whereabouts. Awang followed me for half a day. After a month, people who are sure that I am not a villain will meet me. Awang said that he did guard the night for King Rui, but in the middle of the night, there was a sudden gust of evil wind."

"evil wind?"

"Yes, the evil wind. At that time, King Rui was lying in the coffin waiting for the crying spirits of relatives and friends from all over the world. Suddenly, a gust of evil wind blew down a longevity banner, which happened to cover King Rui's face. Ah Jun hurried up He picked up the birthday banner before, but he didn't expect to scrape off the mole on the side of King Rui's face. Ah Jun pinched the mole in his hand, the more he looked at King Rui's face, the more strange it became. When he saw it, he found that this person was not King Rui. Ah Jun was a son of a slave. He grew up in the palace since he was a child. He could recognize even the slightest difference between King Rui and the prince. After a change of heart, he understood that he had found He found a shocking big secret, and fled pretending to be crazy and foolish if he didn't want to be implicated. It was also thanks to the fact that no one was in charge of the life and death of a slave in the new palace at that time, so he escaped. Now that the empress has ascended the throne, he is poor and destitute , suffering all over the body, for the sake of 20 taels of silver, I told everything about that year."

Everything is clear.

The Ruan family helped the king of Rui, Li Zhu, to murder the crown prince. Years later, Emperor Ming, who has become the emperor, has been uneasy. What is in the wooden box of the Ruan family? Is there any evidence left by the Ruan family?Did he write his crimes on the secret scroll and lock it in the wooden box?

If such a great achievement of the Ruan family is added to the fact that the emperor is a fake, the country has been unknowingly changed hands by the rebellious officials and thieves, and it may be easy for them to usurp the throne.

The official who went to test Ruan Gong should be sent by Emperor Ming, and Ruan Gong's answer completely made Ming Emperor murderous.

But in the end, the secret scroll was still not found.

Emperor Ming felt that Ruan's Aqiong hid the secret scroll, and Wei Jinghe was an accomplice!

"The origin of everything is that wooden box, that secret volume. But no one knows where that wooden box is now..." Bu Jie talked for a long time alone, but did not get any answer from Zhen Wenjun. When he looked back, he found that Zhen Wenjun had disappeared up.

"Huh? Girl?"

Only two rows of stumbling footprints remained in the snow.
