Shu Blossoms

Chapter 426
"Then how can we be sure that the people burned to death are those assassins?" Zheng Wei asked again.

Mu Wu shook his head again, "The Chen brothers firmly insisted that when they chased after them, the fire was already very big, those assassins were shouting something in the fire, and Chu Ting just fell on the edge of the fire and was almost burned to death! "

"What can I help you with?" Zheng Wei understood the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and asked Mu Wu straight to the point.

Mu Wu hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth to find him, and the news from the interrogation told her, "I originally thought that the Chen brothers were rescued by Han Shidi back then, and because of their kindness, they desperately helped him send troops to surround him." Gong, but this assassination is a bit strange, Han Shidi is dead, and their kindness has been repaid. Why are their brothers still so disregarded? I checked the background of the Chen brothers overnight and found out. "

Zheng Wei raised his eyes to look at him, and Mu Wu continued, "The Chen brothers are orphans, and they were raised by an injured veteran named Chen."

"The key lies in this veteran?"

Zheng Wei suddenly had a feeling and interrupted to ask.

Mu Wu was surprised that Zheng Wei's senses were still so sharp, he nodded and continued: "That veteran died, but he didn't die, he died a bit... miserable."

"Could it be related to the Yue clan?" Zheng Wei guessed, only personal hatred could make them have such great hatred to assassinate.

Mu Wu nodded again, and asked hesitantly, "Master, are you still listening?"

"Listen, why don't you listen, if you really did something wrong, no matter if it is the Yue family, the Zheng family or any other wealthy family, you must return justice. If justice does not come for a long time, someone will come to take it in person. In our case It seems that this is the way of the world!" Zheng Wei's tone was a little old-fashioned, and Mu Wu heard that it was very reasonable and strange.

"Before the first emperor ascended the throne, he made a decree in the name of the former emperor. If the refugees return home, as long as they are not criminals, they will be given grain records, and each mouth will be divided into two acres of fertile land. At that time, the father of the Chen brothers, Chen Just wait for the two brothers to return to their hometown Pengcheng." Mu Wu continued.

"Pengcheng?" Zheng Wei asked back when he heard this place.

"Yes, it is the land of Crouching Dragon today, the ancestral home of the Yue family is Pengcheng." When Mu Wu talked about this place, Zheng Wei already had a rough guess in his mind.

The Yue family started at the end of the century, but before the first emperor ascended the throne, he was a general who held military power. The Yue family was not a poor and settled family, but a rising star in Pengcheng.

"Although the Yue clan has fame, money and power in Pengcheng, the foundation is shallow after all. The foundation of the family's prosperity for hundreds of years is people and the land. So the patriarch of the Yue clan at that time liked to enclose land and tried every means to enclose land. "

Zheng Wei already knew the general outline of the story when she heard this, she didn't want to hear the infuriating details, skipped the middle process and asked directly: "How did Chen Li die?"

"Even though Chen Li was threatened and beaten, he didn't give in. He went to the Pengcheng county government several times to appeal for grievances. He was annoyed and was beaten up by a side branch of the Yue family with a few hooligans. He died two days after lying on the couch. The Chen family Although the brothers were only ten-year-old children, they had a tough temper. When their father was killed, they carried Chen Li's body and knelt on the street opposite the county government. For three days and three nights, no one paid any attention to them. They buried their father , and then hid not far from the side branch of the Yue family all day long, waiting until the man was left alone. They attacked the man at night and wanted to tie him to Chen Li's grave to make him repent. They were too young, and one of them was accidentally escaped by that man and was almost killed. It just so happened that General Han Da, who was only a general at the time, rescued them and let them join the army."

A flame of hatred took root and sprouted in the hearts of their brothers until it grew into a towering tree.

"Is that side branch that killed Chen Li dead?" Zheng Wei asked unceremoniously, after all, that person is also considered her elder.

"Dead, seems to be drunk and fell into the river and drowned." Mu Wu personally sent someone to Pengcheng to investigate, Zheng Wei asked funny, "Do you believe that God has eyes? Take that man away ?”

Mu Wuwen was taken aback for a moment, "You mean the death of the branch of the Yue clan was not an accident?"

When he said this, it seemed that he had been unlocked, and he said excitedly, "That man was also done by the Chen Brothers!"

"Although Chen Lizhi's death was caused by which side branch, that person was just a pawn. In their brothers' eyes, the real enemy was the Yue family, or even His Majesty! Coupled with Han Shidi's death or other reasons, new and old hatred Together, they are forced to take risks!"

Mu Wu followed Zheng Wei's thoughts, and although most of the explanations made sense, he still felt something was wrong, "Your Majesty was just a child back then, and had nothing to do with Chen Li's matter, and the assassination of the emperor, whether successful or not, Pao Ze in the army who has contacts with them will be implicated, and I always feel that they have other purposes for doing this!"

"I've finished listening to the story, let's talk about your reason for coming!" Zheng Wei was a little sleepy, although she also felt that there was something strange behind this incident, but she really couldn't bring herself to think about it, and went back to the original question.

Mu Wu listened to Zheng Wei's question, and didn't go out of his way, directly voicing out his difficulties, "I interrogated the Chen brothers the night before and yesterday, and even though I took over everything at once, I admitted that it was the two of them who planned this The purpose of this assassination was revenge. However, when it comes to the assassination of Yupu, they didn’t know about it, so I judged that the two assassinations did not seem to be done by the same group of people. Moreover, Chen Yesong was straightforward and said during the interrogation In a word, what we have to do has been done, and you will never catch him again!"

"The assassination failed, but it did? I suspect that they have another purpose for the assassination, which is to cover the person Chen Yesong said to leave Jiankang!" Mu Wu paused at this point, "But His Majesty doesn't seem to care about Chen Yesong's words. His Majesty seemed to believe that the two assassinations on the eve of the previous night, with military crossbows, must have been done by Han Shidi's surviving people in Jiankang, or even by members of the Han family's army. !"

Zheng Wei frowned, but still didn't say anything, Mu Wu flattered him and said, "Among the people within my reach, except for the chief eunuch, the Princess knows His Majesty's mind best, and I want to trouble my Majesty to help you guess what His Majesty is thinking." What exactly do you want, don’t hide it from the Princess, His Majesty has been dissatisfied with the Qingwei Division for a long time, if this matter still goes wrong, I’m afraid there will be no Qingwei Division in the near future.”

"You really don't understand His Majesty's mind? Or are you saying that the matter here is too big, and you are afraid of getting involved, Qingwei Division will not be faster!"

Zheng Wei boldly said something, scaring Mu Wu back and forth to see if there was anyone around.

"But now that the token has been returned to His Majesty, I no longer have the right to intervene in Qingwei's affairs. If you tell the whole thing, you may cause trouble for me. I am thankless!"

Zheng Wei understood everything, and suddenly lost interest, Mu Wu immediately reacted, "Of course we can't let the princess be busy, but in the future the princess will be assigned, so I will do my best!"
