Sir, I can do it!

Chen Jinghuai inspected Lu Chengyi's body carefully again, at this time Cheng Meng also brought someone over.

Seeing Chen Jinghuai here, he panicked subconsciously, and then cupped his hands and said, "Master Chen."

Chen Jinghuai waved his hand: "I am no longer an adult, you can call me by my name."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood the meaning of Cheng Meng's words.He was reminding him that this matter was the responsibility of Beifu, and he, an idler without official or position, had no right to intervene.

Chen Jinghuai hurriedly got up and cupped his hands to apologize: "The grassroots have exceeded the rules."

He took a deep look at Cheng Meng, and his gaze fell on the hem of his clothes vaguely.Just now, he acted alone in a panic, but now he has transformed into a rather dignified Beifu supervisor...

Suddenly there was a burst of wailing from behind the crowd, and a young servant squeezed in yelling. The moment he saw Lu Chengyi's body, he almost collapsed.

Followed by a few rather steady guards, they carried a frame, and lifted Lu Chengyi onto the frame with neat hands and feet, carried it to a wide place, and put the frame into the carriage.

The butler who took the lead had a serious face, and ordered in a cold voice: "Master Xiang loves the second son the most, and Master Xiang will definitely investigate this matter to the end. Mr. Cheng, please be careful of the black hat on your head."

Cheng Meng repeatedly apologized, and promised that the murderer would be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible.

The butler snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.

Chen Jinghuai frowned: "According to the law, the corpse should be handed over to Beifu for inspection and strictly recorded."

Cheng Mengdao: "The identity of the deceased is different."

"They're all corpses, what's the difference?"

Cheng Meng sighed, and said: "You have always been like this, but you don't know that you are too hard to break. This is an officialdom, and we must abide by the rules when we are in it."

Chen Jinghuai said: "But we must first abide by our own ethics, and the rights and responsibilities of the Beifu cannot be violated."

Cheng Meng patted Chen Jinghuai's shoulder and said with a meaningful smile, "You are so naive."

Chen Jinghuai said stubbornly: "The deceased needs an explanation."

Cheng Meng shook his head helplessly, turned and left.

Wang Yi tapped his palm with the handle of his fan, and said: "The existence of the Tongcha Mansion is due to the emperor's selfishness. If the head of such a power organization cannot stand upright, the Tongcha Mansion will definitely become a knife in the hands of those in power. Perhaps the Tongcha Office shouldn’t have existed from the very beginning.”

Chen Jinghuai loosened his clenched fists, and laughed a little at himself: "I'm just an idler, and what the government does has nothing to do with me."

Wang Yi glanced at him: "I thought you would want to take over this case."

Chen Jinghuai paused, shook his head and said: "I may know who the murderer is. I was a little confused just now, but now I understand a little bit. It's just driven by power and interests. I won't take this case, because I know, They just want to find what they believe to be the 'true culprit'."

He suddenly remembered that when the Beifu was ordered to inspect the Huichun Hall a few years ago, there was a passageway behind the medicine cabinet in the secret room, but it was destroyed by someone.At that time, it was Cheng Meng who led the team to search first.

He has been working for the Lu family.But to determine whether he is Lu Xiang's person or not, one must first figure out why he wanted to kill Lu Chengyi.But this is no longer something he can do.

Wang Yi couldn't help sighing: "It must be very uncomfortable to feel that everyone is drunk and I am alone. The boundaries between black and white are never clear. Only when you see the gray among them can you understand the way of survival in the officialdom."

Chen Jinghuai raised his head and looked at the narrow sky above his head, and sighed faintly in his heart.

The moment Wei Shuhua turned and left the alley, tears rolled down her face.If it wasn't for her, Lu Chengyi wouldn't have died.But thinking of the undercurrent hidden under the calm water, she had to brace herself to deal with it.

Back at Mrs. Wei's courtyard, Wei Shuhua told the whole story, with a faint pain in her heart.His warm blood still remained on his palm.Such a lively person fell into her arms, and she watched him lose his breath, but there was nothing she could do.

Mrs. Wei's face was sullen, and she didn't speak for a long time.

She looked outside the door, and the wind rolled up the yellow leaves and swirled in mid-air.The wind is getting stronger, and more and more leaves are being rolled up.The residual leaves on the tree struggled, but they couldn't escape the vortex after all.

What is planted will always bear fruit, and no one can escape.

"Shuhua, you leave Shengjing immediately."

"Grandmother?" Wei Shuhua was a little surprised.

The old lady caressed her black and smooth hair, and said: "You said that Cheng Yi told you that Cheng Meng killed him. But the alley is remote, and you didn't call for anyone, but suddenly many people gathered to watch."

Wei Shuhua nodded, she understood her grandmother's meaning, and said: "I walked into that alley indiscriminately, and no one deliberately guided me."

The old matriarch sighed: "So, all this is due to fate. You accidentally bumped into the dying Cheng Yi and learned that your second brother's secret has been grasped by the court. But Cheng Meng killed Cheng Yi, but he wanted to do it for him Let's find a perfect murderer. Maybe he didn't know that the person in the alley was you at that time, but there may be people who know you, so we can't hide it. And Lu Ding wanted to deal with our Wei family, and you just gave them a Excuse."

The old lady said sadly: "In normal times, the Wei family would definitely find out the truth. But right now the truth is not important at all. Perhaps Cheng Yi's death was silenced precisely because he learned of these secrets."

Wei Shuhua's eyes widened angrily: "Tiger's venom doesn't eat its offspring, so Prime Minister Lu is too vicious."

"In the face of the monstrous power, mere human life is nothing. Shuhua, you take Yuan'er away, and ask Cao Ying to secretly send you two aunts and nephews out of the city, and go to Liyang to find your sister-in-law. I will call Qing Xiao The guards accompanied him for protection."

"Grandmother, what about you? If the Beifu decides that I am the murderer, they will definitely come to my door. What will I do then?"

The old lady Wei said: "I have the Coiling Dragon Staff given by the late Emperor himself. I can save my life in critical times. I don't like those bastards in the Beifu. What's more, the Changle siblings are still in the palace, and they can't be arranged at this time. But you can't wait. Don't worry, Aunt Meng will be properly settled by me."

"Grandma, I..."

"Okay, the old woman has lived for so many years, and she hasn't experienced any storms. Remember, only when you have absolute power can your words have weight. As long as your father and brother hold a heavy army in Shuobei, no one can do anything to me."

Wei Shuhua wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and nodded vigorously: "Grandma, don't worry, Shuhua will send Yuan'er to the Qin family safely."

Ever since Qin Wu left Beijing with Wuyou, Mrs. Wei began to arrange the retreat of the Wei clan.Brothers Wei Tong and Wei Yao followed the tribe back to Xiangzhou in a daze, Zhang Yuan and Qi Xin were also taken back to the small courtyard in the east of the city by Qiao Li.So there is only one child, Wei Yuan, in the family.

Knowing that his little aunt was going to take him on a long trip, he almost clenched his fists and shouted, the hairs all over his body stood on end in excitement, and he hurriedly urged Ding Quan to pack his bags.

After all, he is a child with a simple temperament, and he never thought about why he has to go out in such a hurry.But the first time he got on a merchant ship, he couldn't help rubbing his hands with excitement.

"Since the imperial court has taken precautions, I'm afraid the road to the north will not be peaceful. This merchant ship is delivering goods to the south, and Chen Da is in charge of the ship, and they are all reliable brothers. The ship docked in Nanjun and did not stop halfway. I I will ask Chen Da to arrange a vehicle in Nanjun and escort you to Liyang."

"Thank you, Brother Cao."

The autumn sun in the afternoon is still a bit hot and dry. When the wind blows on the river, the golden willows on the bank are swaying with the wind.The sadness of parting suddenly came to my heart.

"Take good care of yourself on the way. I will take good care of the Hou Mansion. Also, there is the Second Young Master Lu. I will try my best to let Cheng Meng be punished and let him rest in peace."

Wei Shuhua lowered her eyes, her emotions choked in her throat.She could still clearly remember the relief on Lu Chengyi's brows when he fell into her arms.

He said: "Shuhua, I can't sleep these days and nights, but as long as I think of the soldiers at the border, Ah Zhao, and...you, I can't let them do what they do. I don't want to betray my father, but I still betrayed my father." Him. I just hope everything is still in time..."

Cao Ying pressed Wei Shuhua's trembling shoulders with her generous palms, and the strength of her palms made Wei Shuhua wake up suddenly.This is not the time to be sentimental, she still has a lot to do.She needs to be strong.

"Shuhua, when the matter is over, if we are both alive and well, I will definitely marry you back in style."

Wei Shuhua looked up at him and nodded slightly.

Xu Shi still felt that this late autumn was not bleak enough, and in the evening it started to rain.

Cheng Meng brought people to Hou's Mansion, saying that Miss Wei Er was the first witness and wanted to cooperate with the government's investigation.He was scolded away by Mrs. Wei for having a nose that is not a nose and a face that is not a face.

It was also because of Cheng Meng's guilty conscience, coupled with the fact that Mrs. Wei was full of aura, he inexplicably apologized and said a lot of good things before coming out of the Hou's mansion wiping his sweat.

After dealing with Cheng Meng, Mrs. Wei called Aunt Meng and also told her to pack up and leave the Hou Mansion.

Aunt Meng immediately knelt down, tears streaming down like rain: "Old Madam, I can't leave. There is only the old Madam left in this house, how can I rest assured?"

Mrs. Wei was a little tired, but still patiently comforted Aunt Meng: "Listen, Xiaoxishan, the former Lu family garden in the suburbs of the city, is now the private property of Changsun Ke. After you pack up your things, go to the garden, and someone will arrange it for you. You. When you get there, don't think or ask anything, just wait, someone will go there again. "

Aunt Meng knew that the old lady was a vigorous and decisive person. Although she didn't care about things, she always planned strategies.

She kowtowed to the old lady: "Please take care of yourself, old lady."

The people in the mansion left one by one, Nuoda's Hou Mansion suddenly became empty.Although she sent Qing Xiaowei to send news to Shuobei at the first time, it was probably too late.Her old bones are worthless, but she will always send Shuning's two children out of the palace safely.

"Wei An, go and tell Sun Qi to ask the courtiers in private, give up trying to dissuade Li Huai, and support Princess Changle and Dongyue."

Li Huai was eager to conquer Huaizhong, and once the marriage was finalized, he would quickly send someone to escort the princess out of Beijing.And Dongyue's dowry was to send troops to attack Dongguan.

As long as Changle leaves Beijing, there will be a chance to do it on the way.Things are in a hurry, and the old lady can only do this.As for Li Pei, she already had a plan in her mind that she might be able to hide his identity as the sixth prince for the rest of her life.

A good home is now in disarray.Old Madam Wei closed his eyes, twisted the beads in his hands, and ordered: "Send people to the east and west of the city to find Meng San and Cao Ying in the Yanxingtang, and ask their people to find out about Ah Zhao's whereabouts along the way, and stop A Zhao. , can’t let him return to Beijing.”
