The second day after seeing off Bai Xuanwei, the third brother brought Xia Lingxi to the house.It is said that the Xia Mansion is now in chaos, Mrs. Xia was already weak, and she couldn't afford to be ill after hearing the news of her husband's death. After discussing with the old housekeeper over there, my father decided to send Xia Lingxi to my house temporarily.

Xia Lingxi's face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, she looked pitiful.She probably still remembered that day when I knocked her out in the shooting arena, seeing that I neither said hello nor dared to go forward, but cowered and half hid behind Third Brother.I looked at her for a while, and suddenly thought that this kind of silly and silly child Bai Xuanwei must like it very much. When she recovers, I might as well buy a little doll carved in pink and jade for her to play with.

The third brother touched Xia Lingxi's head and said to me, "I will trouble my sister to take care of her these few days."

"Well, it happens that there are still vacant rooms in my courtyard, so I ordered my servants to clean up one room."

Xia Lingxi's face was full of reluctance, and she couldn't stop pulling on the corner of the third brother's clothes. The third brother hugged her on his lap and comforted her in a low voice.

The third brother has been dismissed from his official position since his accident in the brothel, and now he started the silk business with the imperial court's mission to the Western Regions, and he is living freely and comfortably.

"The third brother returned to Beijing half a month ago, right? How was the journey? Why don't you go home more often to have a look.

"It's still very interesting to go out for a walk. Sister, you don't know me well, it's rare to come back, and I've been dragged out to drink by those old friends all day long. I thought I could have a good rest, but who would have thought..."

Before he could finish speaking, I waved my hand and called a few servants to take Xia Lingxi to freshen up.

"Third brother is also busy in Xiafu, it's really hard work."

He also consciously made a slip of the tongue, smiled embarrassedly, and said instead, "Speaking of which, my sister was also in the shooting arena that day. It's okay to see you today, and I, as a brother, can rest assured."

I took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Brother Lao is worried, I have nothing to do, I just heard that Beijing and China have been in chaos these past few days, and the Ministry of Punishment and the Taishi Bureau are investigating this matter."

The third brother has always been well-connected and well-informed, and he is still a master who can't control his mouth.Hearing what I said, he immediately started talking, "It's very interesting to say this. After all, someone was killed. At first, the Holy One ordered Hu Shangshu to investigate the matter thoroughly. The Ministry of Punishment is good at arresting prisoners, but this time it didn't." Prisoner. There were so many people present that day, watching Li Sizheng being crushed to death, and Xia Shilang as well. He asked for an explanation, so rumors began to spread that the earthquake in the killing field was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. Hu Shangshu immediately reported to the emperor, saying that if this is the case, people from the Taishi Bureau should investigate, and when they determine the cause, Only the Ministry of Punishment can assist in arresting people."

"This Hu Shangshu is good at kicking the ball."

The third brother laughed loudly when he heard the words, continued to gesture, and said, "The matter has come to the Taishi bureau, Zheng Taishi didn't dare to delay, and took the most powerful Fengshui masters under his command to the shooting field to investigate, check and check I didn't find anything strange, but if it's an ordinary earthquake, it shouldn't happen in one shooting field, guess how Zheng Taishi replied?"

Are people who talk a lot all over the world like to let others guess half of what they say?Even if some things are clearly impossible to guess, they should be finished at once.I spread my hands to him cooperatively, "My sister can't figure it out."

"Zheng Taishi said that there is no problem with Fengshui there, and this earthquake is not something ordinary people can do. If it is really a treacherous person, there should be no traces left. Now there is no trace. Besides, there is always such a thing at the feet of the emperor. It’s a motive, I’d like to trouble the Ministry of Criminal Justice to find out if there is any stake in it. Who were the people who were present that day? Who would dare to speculate about such things without hard evidence? Hu Shangshu hadn’t been safe for half a day, and the ball was kicked back , so he had no choice but to lead his subordinates to the shooting field again. He probably got inspiration from seeing the cracks all over the floor, so he directly reported back. If there is no problem, then there is still an earthquake, but this project is not good enough, so the damage will be serious, in the final analysis, the Ministry of Industry needs to investigate first."

"The project of the shooting field, the second brother also participated in it."

"Don't worry about this younger sister. The second brother is only responsible for site selection. Now the Ministry of Industry is throwing blame at each other, designing, purchasing, and building. I really wish I could dig out every inch of bricks and stones in the shooting field. check."

"Which fortification in Beijing should not be fished for oil and water. Now this kind of investigation method, this blame can no longer be thrown away by others."

The third brother nodded and said, "I guess in the end we will find a scapegoat in the Ministry of Industry."

After finishing talking, the third brother seemed to think of something, slapped his head, and said, "Telling you this, I forgot to have a serious business today. The emperor rewarded Mr. Bai with some calligraphy and painting treasures yesterday. She is not in Beijing. In the middle, I have just handed it over to the accountant, when she comes back, remember to tell her."

???

I almost didn't even hold the teacup.

Seeing my surprised face, the third brother clapped his hands and said, "So she didn't even tell you. This Bai Xuanwei is worthy of being a temperamental person. She went to Luoyang to meet her old friend Fan Guogong. Fan Guogong chased and scolded General Cui every day for the past two years. In the end, the cursing and cursing didn't cut off General Cui's military power. Later, the emperor got tired of hearing it and gave him an errand as a major in Taiyi Academy, so that he would be troubled by doing something. He probably thought it was boring. In less than a month, he left the task of supervising construction to that boy Wang Yin, and went to visit the mountains and rivers by himself. Not long ago, when he arrived in Luoyang, he asked Bai Xuanwei to climb a building by the Luoshui River to compose poems. Luoyang's mountains are better than the water, which made Fan Guogong think of living in seclusion. Mr. Bai pointed out to him an excellent location next to Baiyun Mountain. The news spread to Beijing, and the emperor praised him in front of his officials. Fan Guogong praised Bai Xuanwei for half his life's achievements, and even though he was a member of the Jianghu, he was also a real celebrity. After receiving the reward on her behalf, my father told me that Bai Xuanwei is a talent. You don't have to hide her doing this kind of thing, let him worry field."

I have listened to his nonsense since I was a child. This is the first time I think he is so pleasing to the eye. I refilled him a cup of tea and said, "I also said that I haven't seen her for a while. She has no personality. Say She is a guest of my family, and it is rare to see her staying overnight, who knows where she has gone at night. This time, she ran farther."

"I've been tired for a long time, and it's rare to see each other. Third brother stay and have dinner with my sister."

He nodded in agreement.

After lunch, after sending off the third brother, I received a message from Pingting that the doctor had been invited, Bai Xuanwei's internal organs were all damaged, and he was dying, and needed a dose of emergency medicine to strengthen his body and cultivate his vitality.When Ji Ling said this, I waved my hand to indicate that she didn't need to continue. The strengthening of the foundation and the cultivation of the yuan can only be done slowly. In this world, the urgent medicines that can strengthen the foundation and cultivation of the yuan can be counted on my fingers, and Bai Xuanwei can't wait for me to fill the world Fortunately, I live in Chang'an City, which has the most rare things, so I don't need to look for them.

Almost without hesitation, I ordered, "Go and send a message to Concubine Xian's people, saying that I asked her for a fire Ganoderma lucidum, and I will reciprocate it someday."
