Someone always hinders my strategy

The next day, the Lu Mansion was a bit noisy. After Lu Qi woke up, he asked Lu San. Unexpectedly, a guest who lived in the guest room farthest from his small courtyard died strangely.

Lu Xi thought of something, put on his coat casually and went to Wan Yan's residence. He happened to see Wan Yan cleaning the long sword he carried with him. Wiping the sword like a lover, coupled with Wan Yan's appearance, makes people a little envious of the sword.

"Brother Xi is looking for me, what's the matter?" Wan Yao asked gently.

Just as Lu Xi was about to answer, he suddenly remembered the conversation between Wanjiao and Wentian yesterday, and felt that this matter was not something that could be discussed casually, so he said, "I don't know why Cousin Qinghe wiped his sword this morning?"

A glint of admiration flashed across Wan Yan's eyes, and he continued: "We who practice swords should take good care of our swords, not to mention that they will rust after a long time of use. Even daily care is indispensable. Besides, this sword was stained yesterday. I got up early to clean my sword today."

"I'm afraid it's Cousin Qinghe's love for swords that makes him so accomplished in the way of swordsmanship. Lu Xi admires it." Lu Xi boasted, but he understood the meaning of Wan Yan's words in his heart, and thought of himself Although interested in martial arts, there has been nowhere to enter, and a feeling of loneliness arises spontaneously in my heart.

Wan Yao knew what Lu Xi was thinking at the first sight, and said, "Brother Xi, do you want to learn martial arts from me?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi was surprised and said, "Is it really possible?"

Wan Yao nodded: "Why not?" Then he said, "It's just that the Lu Mansion is a bit noisy today, and it's not suitable for sword practice. It just so happens that my friend invited me, would you like to go with me?"

Lu Xi nodded, he didn't really want to stay in the Lu Mansion, since Wan Yao invited him, he happened to be happy to be quiet.

It is still the former Chengbei tea house, and it is still the private room upstairs, but the people are a little different. Standing beside Wentian is a woman in a simple light blue dress, with light makeup and a veil covering her face, but A pair of phoenix eyes are slightly raised, and one can glimpse her beauty in the blink of an eye.

A beauty lies in her bones, not her shape.

But for this trip, for some reason, Wan Yan brought his two maids with him.

Seeing Wan Yao and the others come in, out of politeness, the woman in blue took off her veil, and her all-powerful appearance fell into everyone's eyes. Dignified and elegant like a lady of every family.

"This is Liuyuan." Wentian introduced.

Liu Yuan remained silent, and only looked at the two maidservants behind Wan Yan.

Wentian noticed Liuyuan's gaze, and asked, "How did Xiaoqinghe bring Siyue and Ningshuang today? But I'm worried that Liuyuan, a woman in my family, can't let go here?"

Wan Yao nodded: "This is one, and the second is that Moon Ningshuang does have something to do with Liu Yuan."

As soon as these words came out, no one in the field understood what Wan Yao meant, and they all looked at Wan Yao suspiciously.

"Why don't you invite us to sit down first?" Wan Yan looked indifferent, as if everything couldn't catch his eyes, just like the first time he saw Liu Yuan before, he didn't show surprise.

But indeed, with Wan Yan's appearance, there is really nothing stunning that can catch his eyes.

Wentian also knew about Wanjiao's idiosyncrasies, so he could only patiently invite them to sit down and make a pot of tea.

Seeing this, Wan Yan even teased: "Why, don't you drink anymore?" This smile stole all the limelight from Liu Yuan's beauty.

Wen Tianqing coughed twice, and said seriously: "This is a tea house, what kind of wine are you drinking?"

Lu Xi couldn't help but said: "You are the least qualified to say this, okay?" After finishing speaking, he wanted to cover his mouth, really... He is just a junior, how could he interrupt like this!

"Hahaha! What nonsense are you talking about!" Wentian laughed loudly, and then saw Liu Yuan's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, so he held back his smile and said seriously, "Actually, I am also a family man, How can you drink outside casually!"

Liu Yuan also smiled: "Drinking will hurt your health, I can't bear to be my husband." The waves of light flowed, and the affection was so strong that Lu Xi was almost blinded.

"So what do we have to do with this Liuyuan girl?" Seeing everyone chatting and laughing, but not wanting to talk about anything serious, the impatient Ningshuang spoke first.

Siyue on one side was not as calm as she appeared on the surface, she nodded anxiously with a slumped face.

Wan Yao chuckled: "If you talk about the relationship, it's not a particularly close relationship." He paused and said, "It's just that the mother of this Liuyuan girl is kind to you."

Siyue frowned: "Yes?"

"This matter involves the old case of the Chen family. Miss Liu Yuan was still young, so she probably didn't know about it." Wan Yao looked at Wen Tian, ​​"Mr. must know this matter best." Regarding Liu Yuan's past, Wen Tian must be investigated.

"What do you mean?" Wentian seemed to understand something, "I thought these two things were not connected, but I didn't expect it to be so!"

"... Can you stop playing charades? I think everyone here wants to know what you are talking about." Seeing that Yue Ningshuang was silent, Lu Qi couldn't bear it, so he opened his mouth.

Wan Yan was silent for a while, and opened his mouth first: "Do you know the disaster of the witchcraft ten years ago?" Wan Yan glanced around, saw that everyone was silent, and continued, "There were rumors at the time that there were demons in the Jiangnan area. People practice witchcraft, harming people's lives and disturbing people's hearts."

"It's hard to trace the source of this matter, but I still know about it, it's just a rumor." Wentian received, "There is no monk causing trouble in this matter."

"Yes, this matter is indeed a rumor, but it has too much influence." Wan Yao nodded, "This matter started from the south of the Yangtze River, and its influence spread all the way to the north. In just a few months, it actually reached the ears of the Holy Majesty at that time. There is actually a shadow of this incident in Beijing."

"The first emperor loved private visits in disguise. One day in the middle of the capital, he saw a group of people gathered around one place. When he got closer, he saw that they were actually beating people. The first emperor was benevolent, so he immediately sent guards to stop him. After everyone calmed down, he asked about it. The person beaten here is the so-called 'monster'."

Wan Yu sneered: "A woman cried to the late emperor, saying that this 'monster' deceived her son, presumably because she was jealous of her son's intelligence, and wanted to kill him. After interrogation, the late emperor found out that this son was a born idiot."

"Although it turned out that this matter was just a joke, it also attracted the attention of the late emperor, so he sent Chen Zongyan, who was working in Dali Temple at that time, to Jiangnan to investigate." Wan Yan took a sip of tea, and it was a little cold, "This Chen Zongyan is deciding the case. On the one hand, he is capable, and the late Emperor trusted him so much that he sent him out."

"And this Chen Zongyan is indeed capable, and he discovered the clue within a month after he arrived in Jiangnan." Wan Yao lowered his eyes, and the smile on his mouth before disappeared, "In fact, this matter was suppressed at the beginning. The magistrate of the county that sent it was sensible, and found out that it was just the suspicion of the informant, but he did not completely stop the rumors."

"Until the rumors spread all the way to Fucheng, the magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River made a wrong decision." Wan Yao pressed the teacup with his fingertips, his eyes were calm, "It turned out that the magistrate accepted the gift from the informant and made some false evidence. The innocent defendant was sent to prison. After that, the common people believed that this matter was true, and this matter got out of hand until it spread to the capital.”

"After learning the truth, Chen Zongyan didn't even return to the capital, and immediately held an interrogation in the capital, ending the case."

Lu Xi couldn't help clapping his hands: "Master Chen is really a good official!"

Wan Yan sneered, "It's a pity he doesn't know, this is not what the people want."

"The answer the common people want is that they were right when they hit the 'defendant', they were right when they hit the demon, and it was the official who was wrong, who was confused by the demon." Wentian received, " Therefore, in the eyes of the people, this 'good official' who can distinguish right from wrong is a 'treacherous official' who has been deceived by a demon."

"Later, Chen Zongyan died on the way back to Beijing to report on his duties, and was beaten to death by the mob." Wan Yan said coldly, "Then the prefect submitted a document to the higher authorities, which actually fabricated false evidence that Chen Zongyan colluded with the demon , and what happened in the south of the Yangtze River during this period of time failed to reach the late emperor's ears because of the magistrate's concealment."

"The first emperor who received the magistrate's document also knew about the existence of immortals. He had some understanding of the weird things in the world, so he believed it, and in a fit of rage, he copied the Chen family."

Lu Qi felt something was wrong, and immediately questioned, "How could it be so easy?"

Wan Yao nodded: "Of course it won't be so easy, it's just that Chen Zongyan is unreasonable. He had many political enemies in the court, and the Chen family was also a thorn in the side of many big families. There was a push in it."

"When the house was ransacked, a servant escaped with the two daughters of the Chen family and her daughter." Wan Yan glanced at the two of them like Yue Ningshuang, "Go all the way south, avoid Jiangnan, and go east. After traveling for several months, I finally arrived at my Misty Villa, and due to some karma with my ancestors, my Misty Villa took in the two of them, just to avoid people's eyes and ears, and declared them as handmaidens."

Hearing this, Lu Qi opened his eyes wide and looked at the two of them like Yue Ningshuang.

Wentian went on to say: "From the capital to this Yunzhou City, the passage is definitely not something that a woman can take with three children. The detoxification pill that the villa needs."

"So the woman made a choice between loyalty and kinship." Wentian looked at Liuyuan with pity, "She chose loyalty and sold her only daughter to a brothel."

"And then, after confirming that my Misty Villa will take good care of those two ladies, the woman chose to commit suicide." Wanjiao said, "She who is embarrassed to speak to Misty Villa may have realized that she has no way to redeem her Daughter, so she chose to die out of guilt."

Liu Yuan didn't understand anything at this moment, she understood that the woman was her mother, although there was hatred in her heart, it was more of sadness and helplessness, she shed many tears, but the last thing left in her heart was A trace of emotion is relieved.

Now, with Wentian by her side, she is already happy enough, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

The author has something to say:

It’s been a long story and I’ve finally finished it. The previous case of the Chen family’s injustice was made up. If there are any loopholes, I’ll correct it later. By the way, I just realized today that the manuscript is gone. I wrote it now. I’m so scared to death!

As I write this, I really feel that Lu Qi is a little angel with a lively atmosphere >

I have a bit of a cold, and the temperature is a bit strange recently, the little angels who read the article remember to add clothes ha つ-3-つ (I can still type out the mere emoticons→_→)
