Changsun Ke went to the Hou Mansion to look for Wei Zhao, and before entering the main courtyard, he heard a burst of howling ghosts and wolves, which was very miserable.Turning into the courtyard, he saw Wei Yuan, the grandson of the Hou Mansion, being held on his body by his mother and spanked.

His unscrupulous third uncle gleefully clapped his hands and applauded: "Sister-in-law played well, if you don't punish me a little, I won't be in trouble in the future."

Changsun Ke raised his eyebrows in surprise, he knew that Wei Zhao loved his little nephew the most, and if he didn't help or talk about it today, he actually encouraged him from the sidelines.I think this Young Master Sun has done something terrible.

It was Mother Qin who felt sorry for her eldest son's wife, afraid of being so angry that she would get pregnant, so she tried to persuade her a few times, and then Qin Wu let Wei Yuan go.

Wei Yuan stood aside, sobbing and wiping his tears, clutching his little butt, this grievance made Chang Sun Ke feel a little soft-hearted.

"Hey, you're back, what did the emperor say?"

This natural and familiar tone was like a woman waiting for her husband to come home. Chang Sun Ke couldn't help but smiled lowly, and replied, "Let me investigate this case."

He glanced at the aggrieved Wei Yuan, and casually asked, "What's the matter?"

Wei Zhao sighed heavily: "When the child grows up, he doesn't accept control, and if he makes a mistake, he will go out and cause trouble."

Changsun Ke noticed a portrait on the table, picked it up and looked at it for a while, and said: "The brush strokes are immature, and the lines are not smooth, but you can still vaguely distinguish the appearance of the person in the painting. Why, it has something to do with the person in the painting? "

Wei Zhao glared at Wei Yuan angrily, then turned his head and told Zhang Sun Ke: "Do you still remember the day when you went to Taoshan, they ran into someone." He clicked on the portrait: "It's him."

"and then?"

Wei Zhao patted the table, gritted his teeth, and said, "These kids went out and put up a portrait of this person in the downtown area, telling the people in Beijing to beware of this person. Tell me, you just had a face-to-face meeting with him, and without any proof The man was convicted. Fortunately, Wei Fang found out in time and brought a few children back. However, there were already people coming and going in the downtown area, and this matter still alarmed Shuntian Mansion. I just went to Shuntian Mansion to make peace with the governor. After thinking about it, fortunately, Fu Yin is a knowledgeable person, knowing that it was a few children messing around, but he didn't file a case."

Wei Yuan muttered in a low voice: "He is a bad person, that person must have been pushed down by him."

Wei Zhao's eyes flew over, Wei Yuan shook.

Changsun Ke said: "Children are the most sensitive, and this person must have problems."

Wei Zhao squinted at him: "Aren't you the one who talks about evidence the most?"

Changsun Ke said without changing his face: "The senses are also an innate means of handling cases, just like a swordsman can perceive danger."

Wei Zhao curled his lips: "You are right no matter what." He got up and patted his buttocks, then pouted outside and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, go back to eat."

Wei Yuan followed closely, grabbed Wei Zhao's sleeve and said pitifully, "Third Uncle, I want to sleep in your yard tonight."

His mother is too tired to hit him right now, who knows if she will think of hitting him again when she sees him later.

Changsun Ke's vision changed at that time, Wei Yuan always felt that his scalp was a little numb, but in order to prevent his butt from suffering, he still insisted on going back with Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao always felt sorry for his nephew, and it was fine after the punishment was over, so he hugged Wei Yuan: "Let's go, Aunt Jiang has cooked a lot of delicious food."

Changsun Ke took a step behind and sighed faintly.

When Jiang heard that Wei Yuan had been beaten, she felt distressed for a while, and put several layers of soft cushions on Wei Yuan's seat.Sitting on it is like sitting on cotton, so comfortable.

Wei Yuan held his rice bowl and buried himself in hard work, and from time to time he still smiled and patted Jiang's flattery: "The braised lion's head made by Mother Jiang is really delicious, and the eight-treasure duck is delicious. Hey Hey, this fermented glutinous rice dumpling is also delicious."

Mrs. Jiang laughed: "Young Master Sun likes to eat, so come here often, and Mother Jiang will make it for you."

Wei Yuan nodded hastily, and wiped the rice grains on his face into his mouth, not wasting a bit.

Wei Zhao looked at his nephew with contempt: "Eat less, be careful not to suffer from overeating at night."

Wei Yuan sighed: "That is also a burden of happiness."

Wei Zhao: ...

In a cramped hut in the east of the city, a nine-year-old girl sat on a chair with a cold face.Standing bowed beside her was a nanny in her thirties.

The nanny asked the little girl with a serious face: "Miss Six, really look carefully, is it that person?"

The little girl nodded bitterly with red eyes: "I can recognize it even if it turns into ashes."

Mammy paced up and down the room, feeling agitated.

"How did he offend Young Master Sun of Zhen Guohou's Mansion?"

The little girl shook her head.

The little girl said: "Nurse Lin, it's not a solution for us to hide like this all day long. My mother has already been killed, and my grandfather is far away in Zizhou, so I can't reach her. I'm afraid I don't know the news of my mother's death at this moment. It's from Zizhou. After getting the news, my father who dotes on his concubine and kills his wife will also find a way to avoid it."

Nanny Lin sighed, her young lady was supposed to be innocent and innocent, but she was forced to grow up in that deep house and compound, and suffered the pain of losing her mother at a young age.That vicious woman even made a plan to abduct the young lady out of the capital and sell her, but luckily she broke it.Thinking about it now, Mother Lin still feels chills all over her body.

"Then what is Miss Six going to do?"

After all, the little girl is young and has not been involved in the world deeply, so she is also a little tangled and uneasy at this time.

Seeing this, Nanny Lin said: "I have met that Young Master Sun in Zhen Guohou's Mansion once, and I remember that it was at the flower appreciation banquet with the Second Young Madam last year in the Lin Mansion. I heard the Young Madam say that the eldest son Madam was born in the Qin family of Liyang, she is a master of poetry and calligraphy, and is highly respected by the world. Madam Shizi is kind, and Young Master Wei is also very well-behaved and sensible. And the third son Wei of the Hou's Mansion has repeatedly solved strange cases, and is even more praised by people."

"It's just that our status is low, and we don't have any real evidence in hand. It may be difficult to convince Mr. Wei San with only the words of the young lady. After all, our second master is also the son of Uncle Kang Ning. The concubine Zhao in the palace is now in favor, and Not to mention that she didn't like the Second Young Madam at all, even if the Second Young Madam was really hurt, she would not allow such scandals to occur in the Kangningbo Mansion. We have no friendship with the Zhen Guohou Mansion, and they may not Because we are facing off against the Zhao family. Besides, the person in the uncle’s house is still looking for us everywhere, if she finds out, how will we escape.”

The little girl clenched her teeth tightly, and her lips were actually bitten by her to bleed.Mother Lin was startled, and knelt down on the ground, begging, "Miss, if you have something to say, don't trample on yourself. Young Madam only has your blood."

"Mrs. Lin, the longer we drag on, the less evidence we can find. No matter what relationship Zhao Tong has with Master Sun of the Hou Mansion, we just need to avenge our vengeance. I have inquired about it. The third son of Wei is now Dali Temple Tui Cheng, if we can find him and report the crime, he will definitely not just sit idly by."

Nanny Lin hesitated for a moment, thinking of the current situation, she would die anyway, so she might as well fight it out.

"Miss, I will handle this matter. I will go to the yamen tomorrow. You should wait for the mother at home. If the mother has not come back after dark, you should run quickly. The farther you run, the better, away from the capital." Far away. As long as you save your life, you will be able to avenge your young lady."

The little girl's tears dripped down, she nodded fiercely: "Mother, be careful."

Wei Zhao wandered to the Dali Temple to go to the Yamen, but when he came to the door, he was bumped into by a bearded man and turned around.

Wei Zhao was unhappy: "Who, you don't have eyes when you walk!"

The man heard the voice familiar, he paused, turned around and saw that it was Wei Zhao, he hurriedly cupped his hands and apologized: "Master Wei, don't blame me, I have something urgent to report."

Wei Zhao didn't recognize who it was for a while, but a kind colleague passing by told him: "That's Han Sizhi who was sent to Zizhou by Lord Shen a few days ago. It seems that the investigation has involved a lot.”

Wei Zhao narrowed his eyes, and stopped going to his office, and went to Shen Yuan's room as soon as he turned his footsteps.

The door of the room was closed in broad daylight, Wei Zhao thought he was a gentleman, but he didn't do anything to listen to the corner.Simply standing in the yard and waiting, I can vaguely hear low voices in the room, but it's not very real.

The people in the room talked for a long time, and Han Sizhi came out of the room only after the sun was getting brighter.Seeing Wei Zhao waiting outside, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted and said, "I have finished reporting my affairs, Lord Lao Wei has been waiting for a long time."

After saying that, he cupped his hands and left.

Listening to the commotion outside, Shen Yuan yelled.Wei Zhao went in in response, rolled up his sleeves and looked at Shen Yuan with a smile.

Shen Yuan already knew that this person was the most trustworthy, and he asked him if the case in Zizhou was settled a while ago.At this moment, Han Sizhi just came back, and Baba stood guard at the door.Shen Yuan glared at him angrily, threw a booklet over, and said, "Han Sizhi brought it back."

Wei Zhao cast his eyes away, was startled, and said in a low voice, "Secrets of the Harem!"

Shen Yuan nodded: "Han Sizhi said that this is a manuscript book, and the original book has been taken away by others."

Wei Zhao asked, "Is there an eunuch from the Wu family in Zizhou?"

Shen Yuan looked at him in surprise, but considering that he came from a famous family and had good relations with the Nanfu Supervisor, it is not surprising that he knew something, so he said: "According to what Han Sizhi found out, this Wu family in Zizhou was born in 20 He made his fortune many years ago. It is said that an uncle who was sold to the palace in the early years returned to his hometown and brought some treasures from the palace with him. At that time, the state of Qi was founded, and various places were in chaos, so the Wu family took the opportunity to buy land and properties. , accumulated a lot of wealth. Unexpectedly, more than a year ago, Wu Gonggong died suddenly. After that, the Wu family fell into endless battles."

Shen Yuan pointed to the book in his hand, and said: "This handwritten book was accidentally discovered by the seventh son of the second bedroom of the Wu family in his study a few years ago. At that time, he only felt that the things contained in the secret record were quite interesting, and he There are many precious secret recipes, so I copied a copy and passed them on to my descendants in the future."

"When the Wu family tragedy happened, Mr. Wu Qi was traveling abroad. When he returned to his hometown, there were few people living in the Wu family, and all the land was divided up by the local rich. At first he thought that the family property was being missed by others, but when he returned to the ancestral house, he found that there was something wrong. No. The servants of the Wu family robbed the family's belongings and fled, all of these were expected by Mr. Wu Qi. But there is one more thing."

Shen Yuan sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and said: "He said that the study of Wu's family had been tampered with. After checking, it was found that the book of secrets of the harem was missing from the study."

Wei Zhao stroked the book in his hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "So the root of the Wu family's massacre is actually this harem secret record."

Shen Yuan said: "The specific reason has to wait for Mr. Wu Qi to enter the capital. Han Sizhi arranged two groups of people to escort Mr. Wu Qi, and he will arrive in the capital in a few days. Besides, Mr. Wu Qi also entrusted Dali Temple to help him find his cousin .”

Shen Yuan handed over a portrait: "This is the painting of Mr. Wu Qi. He said that someone from the Wu family went to Beijing to report the crime. I suspect that this person is the one who sent me secret letters many times."

Wei Zhao turned his head to look at the portrait, and immediately widened his eyes: "It's him!"
