Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

Chapter 043 Poisoning

The other party spoke in a weird way. Although he didn't name his name, it sounded very uncomfortable. However, he didn't finish his sentence, and stopped abruptly in the middle of it, as if it was stuck in his throat.

Jun Qing can be regarded as a person with a cold personality and is not easy to get angry. Even if he is, he is also in a very unhappy mood at the moment, let alone Wei Chongrong.If it wasn't for Wei Zhao pressing his shoulders, he would definitely jump up. What bastard dares to point fingers at Sang Huai behind his back.

Wei Zhao turned around leisurely, and said casually: "Your Excellency, if you have something to say, please explain it clearly. Wouldn't it make people confused if you cut the beginning and the end?"

As soon as the words fell, a young man in purple came out from the shadows, cupped his hands and said: "It turns out to be His Royal Highness Qin Wang. The villain has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, so I offended him." His voice was similar to that of the previous man, but it was not him. .

Wei Zhao was traveling in a low-clothes suit, and frowned when someone directly revealed his identity. Fortunately, the voice of that person was not high, and he was surrounded by the guards of the Marquis Mansion, so it would not be possible to spread the word. Fang waved his hand and said, "Go out!" You're welcome outside. Who are you?"

Wei Zhao returned to Beijing for less than half a year, and he made up for the information of young officials who have emerged in recent years, and he was basically able to get the number, but he had no impression of this young man in purple.

"I'm Xue Jian, I've met you, Young Master." Xue Jian seemed to be a smart person, but Wei Zhao immediately changed his address when he showed signs of surprise.

"It turned out to be the son of Xue Shilang. It's a pleasure to meet you." Hearing the surname "Xue", Wei Zhao immediately thought of the identity of the son in purple clothes, the eldest son of Zhongshu Zuo Shilang Xue Rui.

Is that Xue Rui's son? !If it was said that Wei Zhao's eyes were only showing casual disdain, then Wei Chongrong was astonished beyond compare.In his previous life, he had never met Xue Jian, but he was very familiar with the name of Xue Jian's father Xue Rui.

Because of the scourge of witchcraft a few years later, Xue Rui was the instigator. The wandering Taoist priests around Wei Su were recommended by him. In the future, he led people to dig out the paulownia dolls in the East Palace. Inseparable from him...

Of course, when Wei Chongrong returned to Dayan, the Xue family had already been wiped out by the repentant emperor's family, but this did not prevent him from despising and hating Xue Rui at all. black.

What Wei Chongrong knew hadn’t happened yet, Wei Zhao obviously had no way of knowing, but Xue Rui climbed from Qipin county magistrate to the high position of Zhongshu Zuoshilang not because of his own excellent skills, but because of flattery and dedication to alchemists. It's strange that he can have a good face towards his son.

Wei Zhao didn't want to talk too much with Xue Jian, and asked directly, "If I heard correctly, Mr. Xue's companion seemed to be saying that I robbed your private room and lanterns, can you explain clearly?"

Xue Jian smiled calmly, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, you misheard. What Brother She and I said was not this. We are separated by a distance, you may have misheard..."

"Really?" Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows, not believing Xue Jian's words, "Since that's the case, this matter will stop here, and there will be a later date."

Xue Jian clasped her fists and said, "Young master, go slowly, I won't see you off." His tone and expression seemed to be very respectful.

The carriage of Zhaoyang Hou Mansion stopped not far from the river, Wei Zhao and others got into the carriage and drove slowly to Hou Mansion.

Jun Qing rubbed her forehead, said with a headache, "What is the intention of the Xue family's actions?" First she accused Wei Zhao, and then she flatly denied it. There was no logic at all. Jun Qing didn't believe it. Only when they come to them will they be speechless.

Wei Zhao thought for a while, rolled his eyes, and said, "I reckon, the matter of robbing the private room is real, go back and ask Meng Junda, and it will be clear. It's hard to say about the matter of robbing the lantern. Who sent it. It's just..."

"Just what?" Junqing looked up at him, with a little curiosity in his eyes.

Wei Zhao let out a long breath, and sighed, "It's normal for people from the Xue family to stand in the dark and not see us. I suspect that Xue Xiao didn't see us when he spoke." Xue Rui has two sons, named Xue Jian , second name Xue Xiao.

"Isn't it a coincidence?" Jun Qing still didn't believe it, even if they robbed the Xue family's private room and lanterns, the Xue family complained about it, and they were behind them, and they heard it, saying it was a coincidence It's just too much.

Wei Zhao curled his lips and said with a wry smile: "Whether it is or not, since Xue Jian denied what he said, we can only pretend that they didn't see it, otherwise it would be embarrassing if this happened."

Back at the Hou Mansion, Jun Qing was obviously tired, so he went back to his room to rest.However, Wei Zhao sent Meng Junda over to ask him if he had any conflicts with members of the Xue family when he was booking a private room in the Zhaixing Building.

Meng Junda froze for a moment, and answered honestly, he was late, and all four private rooms on the fifth floor were booked out, only one left on the fourth floor.He just thought, what a noble status his prince is, how can he condescend to others, so he asked Boss Du, who booked the private room on the fifth floor.

Boss Du is the best at reading people's eyes. Knowing that Meng Junda is the chief history of Prince Qin's residence, he immediately told him that there is Prince Pingjun's residence, Prince Yong'an residence, Duke Song's residence, and Xue Shilang's family.Meng Junda made up his mind, the first two are also palaces, he has nothing to say, Song Guogong Xie Song is the eldest uncle of Princess Yuankang, Wei Zhao also wants to give a little face when he sees him, he dare not offend, the rest is Xue The servant is gone, his background is not obvious, and his official position is not high. If he doesn't let him out of the private room, who should let him go? God help him.

"Meng Junda, are you really an undercover agent sent by someone?" Wei Zhao smiled angrily, grabbed the fruit plate on the table, and threw it at Meng Junda who was still smiling complacently. The apples, oranges, and pears rolled away. It's all over the place.

He originally thought that the so-called snatching of private rooms was booked by two families almost at the same time, and Meng Junda won the victory over the Xue family by occupying the identity of the palace.But he didn't want to, Xue's family had already reserved a private room on the fifth floor, and it was Meng Junda who drove him away abruptly, not to cause him hatred.

Meng Junda was blinded by the fruit that hit his head and face, and he was stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and begged for mercy: "My lord, I am loyal to you. If you have a different heart, you will be hit by thunder and thunder, and you will definitely die..."

Wei Zhao didn't want to listen to his ramblings, so he waved his hands quickly and said, "Stop it, don't talk about it, go to the Shaofu to get the board by yourself, and then send a gift to Xue Shilang's house after you get it, it's an apology, and there are lanterns We must also investigate clearly, who sent it."

"I obey orders." Seeing that although Wei Zhao punished him, but after the punishment, Meng Junda immediately understood that Wei Zhao was just a minor punishment and had no intention of letting him go, so he accepted it with pleasure. Order, get up and go out.

Wei Zhao shook his head speechlessly, and quickly stopped him: "Come back, it's a big holiday, and it's still night, can someone in Shaofu wait to give you a board? Go after dawn."

"Yes, my lord." Meng Junda stopped in his tracks, turned around and saluted with fists cupped, and then stepped back.

After Meng Junda left, Wei Chongrong rushed over and asked, "Father, do you doubt Meng Changshi?" Meng Junda came from the Shaofu, and used to work in Zhuye Supervisor. Although he was not chosen by Wei Zhao himself, he was also the queen Appointed, not a spy.

Wei Zhao picked up Wei Chongrong, frowned and said, "Using him as an undercover agent will only fool you. This person is clever, but he is useless. I will have to move him later."

Wei Chongrong understood, Wei Zhao didn't trust Meng Junda, but looked down on his level. It's just that he hasn't returned to Beijing for a long time, and he doesn't have a real job. He can't form his own team for the time being, so he can only make do Some people use it first, and then replace it when there is a suitable candidate in the future.

It was getting late at this time, Wei Zhao didn't intend to take Wei Chongrong back to the palace, and stayed directly in Zhaoyang Hou's mansion. Anyway, when Jun Qing was renovating the house, he specially packed a courtyard for him to stay overnight Very convenient.

Wei Chongrong fell asleep earlier, but now he was sleepless at all. He lay on his side beside Wei Zhao, playing with the jade huang hanging around his neck and asked, "Daddy, how long are we going to stay here?" It can be seen that Wei Zhao has no plans to leave tomorrow.

Wei Zhao turned sideways, faced him, and said with a light smile, "How about staying until the little brother is born?" Ji Xin and Lu Ming were both too busy in the Xicheng Camp, so how could he feel at ease? If people stay in the mansion, they naturally want to accompany him.

Wei Chongrong nodded and had no objection to Wei Zhao's statement.The father and son talked for a long time under the quilt before Wei Chongrong fell into a deep sleep. Wei Zhao hugged his son and fell asleep after a while.

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on Wei Zhao's door, and the sound was very hasty, waking Wei Zhao and Wei Chongrong at the same time.

Wei Chongrong opened his eyes with a dazed expression on his face. If it wasn't urgent, he wouldn't have knocked on Wei Zhao's door. This is Zhaoyang Hou's mansion, not Qin Wang's mansion.

Wei Zhao sat up in his clothes and raised his voice, "Who is there outside? What's the matter?" He didn't like someone watching the night in the house when he was sleeping, and he could only answer the door by himself.

"His Royal Highness, this old slave is the housekeeper of the Hou's Mansion, and I have something to see." An old voice came from outside the door.

Wei Zhao had already dressed, and said, "Uncle Fu, come in." The old butler of the Zhaoyang Hou Mansion took care of Junlin when he grew up, and Wei Zhao was always very polite to him.

Uncle Fu opened the door and came in, closed the door first, then took out a letter from his arms, walked up to Wei Zhao and presented it: "Your Highness, this is an urgent letter from Daying in the West City. Something happened to King Changning, and the old servant is not sorry." If you dare to tell Lord Hou, I can only report to you."

Wei Zhao took the letter and read it hastily, his face turned livid.Uncle Fu looked at him and said worriedly: "Prince Changning's personal soldiers said that he was seriously poisoned, but they couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe, and they didn't dare to protect the prince easily, but they were afraid that it would take a long time. His poison... ..."

It was just an internal exercise, but someone actually applied poison to the arrow and wanted to put Ji Xin to death. Wei Zhao clenched the letter into a ball and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Fu, you are right not to tell Qing'er, continue to hide it from him, I will Go and bring Xiner back."

Hearing the conversation between Wei Zhao and Fu Bo, Wei Chongrong's messy mind instantly became sober.Ji Xin was poisoned, and he seemed to be in a very bad situation, but in his previous life, he had never heard of related matters.

Compared with his famous ancestor, Ji Xin in Wei Chongrong's memory was very inconspicuous. He followed the crown prince in an army, was defeated and died, and was confiscated after his death.

Wei Ming was the crown prince until his death, and Wei Su never abolished him, but the title of King Changning was never restored even if there was no successor.Therefore, Ji Xin's death was very dishonorable. Not only did he bear the charge of treason, but he also ended all the glory of the Ji family in his hands.

Wei Chongrong once thought that, except for the time he assisted the prince in raising troops, Ji Xin had never had a record of fighting in his life because he lost his parents when he was young and did not inherit the fine tradition of being good at fighting in the Ji family, but the Ji Xin he saw after his rebirth , he is obviously not that kind of person, and he has been wondering for a long time.

Now, Wei Chongrong vaguely guessed the reason, perhaps it was the poisoning that did not leave a record this time, which caused great damage to Ji Xin's body, otherwise, with his age and skill, even if he is not the main general, it is impossible not to go up battlefield.

Just as Wei Chongrong was about to remind Wei Zhao, Junqing's voice came from outside the door: "What happened? You mustn't hide it from me!"
