The moment Hong Kun saw Changsun Ke, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"The eldest grandson is proud of the world, but he works tirelessly for the Wei family, so I am ashamed." He turned to Wei Zhao: "As the third son has seen, the son of Wei has never been tortured in prison. Even after receiving the sage's handwriting, this official will not let him go. The three young masters in the Meiyuan case are well married, and now the Fanlou case, I will wait and see."

Wei Zhao sneered: "Since the Fanlou case has been transferred to Nanfu, Supervisor Hong will not be bothered."

Cheng Meng brought Wei Xuan out with a very bad expression on his face.Wei Zhao gave him a cold look before turning his gaze to Wei Xuan.Although Hong Kun is a despicable and shameless person, he still has some credibility.

Wei Xuan's face was not very good-looking, but Wei Zhao and Changsun Ke picked him up in person, there is always room for improvement in this case.

After getting into the carriage, Wei Xuan asked, "Is anyone from the Zhou family here?"

"I haven't gone back to the mansion yet, but the rumors outside are not good. Brother, you have to be prepared."

Wei Xuan closed her eyes: "From the moment I stepped into the private room, I knew that this matter would not end well."

"Brother, what happened to Fan Lou? How did you meet Zhou Yan?"

Wei Xuan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I'm not Zhou Yan who met in Fanlou. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but now that I think about it, it seems that I was in the game from the beginning."

"Please also ask Wei Shizi to explain in detail." Changsun Ke said.

Wei Xuan straightened his mind and said, "Yesterday, the king of Yong'an County went to Huguo Temple to visit the lake to appreciate the lotus, and accidentally fell into the water. I have always been on good terms with the king of Yong'an County, so I made an appointment with a few familiar colleagues to make an appointment today. Let's visit the Prince of Yong'an together. After coming out of the Prince's Mansion, Lin Zhan suggested going to Meiyuan to listen to an opera. I never liked this, but recently I was bored at home, so I went with them."

"While passing by Xishui Street, I saw a figure that looked like Miss Wednesday. Thinking of the recent rumors that Miss Wednesday disappeared without reason, I was a bit more thoughtful. I asked Lin Zhan to go to Meiyuan first, and I followed the figure. Turned into an alley , that person looked back at me, it was Miss Wednesday. I was about to go up to ask, but she ran away suddenly. I was worried that something might happen, so I followed closely. At that time, there were many people on the street, crowded , and after a while, I lost people."

"At that time, I thought about going back to the Zhou Mansion to say yes, but I didn't pay much attention. When I went to Meiyuan, I met Lin Zhan and the others. He said that Qin Yusheng had taken sick leave and would not be on stage today. The few scenes rehearsed today did not He liked to hear it, so he invited us to Fanlou for a drink."

"You know that I also like to drink a few cups on weekdays, and I feel depressed because of the Xiaoxishan incident. This wine will inevitably get drunk when I am sad. The consciousness is clear. It happened that a young man saw me and hurriedly helped me back to the private room."

"The private rooms in Fan Lou are all the same, and it was booked by Lin Zhan. I couldn't remember whether it was the fifth or the sixth room. I was confused and helped to the fifth room by the little guy. Seeing Zhou Yan In the room, the drunkenness dissipated instantly, but before I could speak, I suddenly felt that my vision went dark, and I passed out at that moment. When I woke up again..."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Wei Xuan was a little speechless.

"Azhao, I really fainted at that time. It is absolutely impossible to do anything to Zhou Yan. Besides, taking Zhou Yan as a concubine is not due to your ignorance, the conscience of heaven and earth, I only have your sister-in-law in my heart, How can you have that kind of thought for Zhou Yan. I have always treated her like a sister-in-law."

Wei Zhao glared at him angrily: "What time are you talking about this? Naturally, I believe in the character of elder brother, but this case..."

He frowned: "The private room has been cleaned up, so it may be difficult to find any evidence. Zhou Yan's body will be transported back to Nanfu, and the post-mortem examination may find some clues."

"You said that the king of Yong'an County went to Huguo Temple to swim in the lake yesterday?" Changsun Ke asked suddenly.

Wei Xuan nodded: "It was the King of Yong'an who said it himself. What's the matter? The tour of the lake by the King of Yong'an is related to this case?"

Unrelated, of course, but possibly related to another case.Wei Zhao reacted immediately.

"Brother, do you know when King Yong'an arrived at the Huguo Temple and when did he fall into the water?"

Suddenly jumping to Yong'an County King, Wei Xuan couldn't keep up with his train of thought, and said stutteringly: "I heard that it was yesterday afternoon. The awning boat capsized, and even the surrounding small boats drifted with it, and several people were lost. out of water."

Wei Zhao and Changsun Ke looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of understanding in each other's eyes.

Although the Lotus Lake in Huguo Temple has a long-standing reputation, most of the people who visit the lake are pilgrims.Shengjing City has a lot of water. Compared with Lianhua Lake, the rich and powerful in Beijing prefer West Lake.The scenery of the West Lake is excellent, and the cruise ships are of various grades, either luxurious or low-key, each with its own characteristics.There are many snacks on the shore, and there are many taverns, so you can enjoy yourself while swimming in the lake.

The Lotus Lake is more graceful and Zen-like because it is in the temple.There are black awning boats for pleasure boats, and refreshments are provided in the temple, the quality is ordinary, which naturally does not meet the preferences of the rich and powerful.Even if there are noble people visiting the lake, they often bring their own refreshments.

At this time in midsummer, swimming in the lake is a customary activity.It's not a rare thing for the king of Yong'an County to visit the lake, but he went into the lake and fell into the water, and it happened to be in the afternoon. When he thought of that strange box, he had to make people think about it.

He was speechless for a long time until he reached Nanfu.

Wei Zhao patted Wei Xuan on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You and I are also brothers and sisters who are in trouble. We both walked through the North Mansion and then visited the South Mansion. Brother, don't worry, no one will embarrass you with the elder grandson here. .”

Wei Xuan had a bitter face, he didn't want to let the eldest Sun Ke take care of him, he always felt like he had sold out his younger brother.But seeing his younger brother's happy expression, he simply closed his eyes and ignored it.

"Give this son a room!"

Wei Zhao: ... Brother, are you here to play?

Changsun Ke: ... Uncle is a little impolite.

Watching Wei Xuan enter the cell, Zhan Yi had placed Zhou Yan's body in the morgue when he came out.Wei Zhao followed Chang Sun Ke into the morgue with ease.

This was the first time he saw an acquaintance lying here, and he couldn't tell what it was like.Although he didn't have any feelings for Zhou Yan, at least he had chased after him since he was a child and said he wanted to marry him.It is somewhat regrettable that a young life is ruined now.

There are a lot of talents in Nanfu, and Changsun Ke recruited a female widow from nowhere.The post-mortem was handed over to the maid, and Wei Zhao and Changsun Ke turned around tacitly.

The female widow said during the autopsy: "The deceased, Miss Zhou Yan, was six feet five inches long and was wearing a light purple skirt. There was a knife wound on the neck, about three inches long, from deep to shallow, and the flesh on the wound was turned outward. The upper body There are traces of bruising, no other trauma, and no signs of poisoning. There are blood stains on the lower body pants, and the lower body is red and swollen, which is because of being abused."

Wei Zhao recorded the inspection records, and his heart couldn't stop feeling heavy.

Changsun Ke dismissed the maid, put down the autopsy records, and went forward to check again.According to the female widow, the fatal injury was a knife cut on the neck.But this wound seems a little strange.

Wei Xuan is a martial artist, used to using swords, his strikes are steady and ruthless, so the wounds will not be so embarrassing.But it is far from enough to rule out Wei Xuan's suspicion based on this alone.

"If the murderer wants to prove that Wei Shizi raped and murdered him, he probably won't leave too much evidence. As seen at the scene, Wei Shizi pressed a dagger on Zhou Yan's body. Unless the real murderer is found, Wei Shizi's suspicion is irrelevant. It can't be washed off anyway."

Changsun Ke wiped his fingers carefully with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "Just like the Meiyuan case, everything seems to be well-founded and impeccable, but it has not been cracked in the end. It is the same sentence, as long as it exists, there will be traces to follow." It's just the beginning, don't get confused. It's getting late and I've been busy all day, so I'll take you back. Your family is probably waiting for a result."

Wei Zhao's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me know who is behind the scenes, or I will tear him to pieces."

It wasn't just because of Wei Xuan being framed, but Zhou Yan's tragic death.This made Wei Zhao unable to accept it for a while, how could those people deal with such a fresh life!

He clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath: "My eldest brother, please take care of me."

"I thought we didn't need to say such foreign words between us." The implication is that your elder brother is also my elder brother.

Normally, Wei Zhao would tease a few words, but now he is not in that mood.

Changsun Ke sent him to the gate of Hou's mansion, but did not go in, but asked Wei Zhao to say hello to Lord Hou on his behalf.

Seeing Wei Zhao's return, Huo Bao'er said in a low voice, "Master Hou and the others are in the main hall. They said that the young master will go to the main hall to talk when he comes back."

Wei Zhao nodded and walked towards the main hall, suddenly felt that the road that he could walk with his eyes closed in the past was so heavy today.

Wei Ru's eyes were bloodshot. Recently, there was a lot of unrest in the court and such a major event happened at home. He wanted to give Wei Zhao a comforting smile, but he couldn't smile.

"Azhao is back."

Wei Zhao saluted at the door, and said respectfully, "Father, the elder brother's case has been handed over to the Nanfu. With the elder grandson here, the elder brother will not suffer."

Wei Ru finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Mr. Changsun, for me."

Qin Wu shed a few tears: "Azhao, what's going on, Zhou's family came to the door in the next noon, saying that your elder brother killed Miss Wednesday."

Wei Zhao pursed his lower lip, and said, "Miss Wednesday was indeed killed, but my elder brother passed out at the time, and I don't know what happened in the private room. It must have been deliberately planted. The rumors outside are not good, sister-in-law is not going out these days .”

Qin Wu choked and said, "Your elder brother is upright, yet he was charged with such a crime."

Wei Ru said in a deep voice: "Okay, since Xuan'er said that she was wronged, then wait to find out the real culprit, and the rumors can be deciphered. My Wei family behaves uprightly, and the heart is upright, and the rumors are rumors after all. , what are you afraid of?"

Qin Wu lowered his head and raised his eyebrows: "What father said is that my daughter-in-law is thinking about it."

Wei Ru couldn't help slowing down his tone: "Xuan'er has been in a low mood recently, and as a father, I know it. But people must go through ups and downs in their lives to grow. If you can't even survive such small things, it will be difficult to achieve big things in the future. Xuan'er It's my son. He has a resolute temperament. As his wife, you have to believe that he can save the day. Now that there are so many family affairs, your grandmother is getting old, and you are in charge of all the affairs in the house. Now you have to cheer up, don't call Xiao Xiao took advantage of the situation and entered."

Qin Wu straightened his expression, and respectfully bowed to Weiru: "Father teaches, daughter-in-law will always remember."

Wei Ru rubbed his forehead wearily, waved his hands and said, "Go back and rest."
