Chapter 139
When the father and son were chatting enthusiastically, Mother Liu's loud voice rang out: "Madam, Master Chen, are you back so soon? Oh, Master Chen has memorized so much, please put it down and have a rest."

"Mother Liu, I'm not tired. My mother and I are not too fast, we have been gone for a few hours." Chen Hang replied.

Mr. Xiao immediately sat down at the desk and buried his head in the scroll, while Wei Hang moved to sit on the stool by the window, staring blankly outside.

Chen Hang's footsteps approached, and he shouted cheerfully: "Father, brother, we are back!" Soon people had opened the door and entered the room.

Mr. Xiao looked up at Chen Hang and smiled: "Chen'er is back?"

Chen Hang nodded: "Yeah." He said again: "Father, you are reading, are you disturbing me?"

Mr. Xiao waved his hand: "It's okay." Weihang stood up and ran to Chenhang, hugging him with a dumb smile.

"Haha, brother, mother and I bought a lot of palm leaves and wine rice, and we want to wrap a lot of your favorite rice dumplings, are you happy?" Chen Hang told him with a smile, patting his brother's back.

happy…"

Wei Hang is silly.

"Come on, let's go out to play, don't disturb Dad." Chen Hang said while holding his brother's hand.

"Have fun...good..." Wei Hang grunted happily.

"Go." Mr. Xiao waved his hand, and the two children disappeared like tiger cubs out of a cage.He smiled knowingly and buried his head in the book again.

Two teenagers were running and playing in the courtyard.Mother and Liu's mother moved their belongings and cleaned the zongzi leaves in a corner of the yard, washing wine rice, red dates and the like, to prepare for making zongzi.

The small courtyard bathed in sunlight is full of laughter.

At this time, Father Liu came in from the outside and anxiously asked where Mr. Xiao was?Chen Hang pointed to the study and said that my father was in the study.Father Liu hurried to the study.

Half an hour later, the two came out of the study.Mother and Mother Liu's preparations are ready. The cleanly washed zong leaves are spread out in the sieve tray, and the round grains of wine rice are soaked in water. After two hours, the zongzi can be wrapped.

Weihang was the first to see his father and old man Liu coming out with serious expressions, knowing that something must have happened, so he stopped and walked towards them.Seeing his brother passing by, Chen Hang also ran over.

Madam wiped her hands and looked at her husband uneasily, Mr. Xiao winked at Madam, then pouted at Chen Hang.

Madam understood immediately, asked Shang Chenhang to ask him to help, and took him and Liu's mother to work in the kitchen.

There were only three people left in the yard, and it seemed so quiet all of a sudden.Wei Hang said solemnly: "Father, Father Liu, what's the matter?"

"Master Hang, my subordinates have met with the person who was sent out to investigate some time ago. He found out that the murder of the late emperor was not only done by the Xirong people, but also by people from the imperial court behind the scenes. No one has been found yet. Who is the person, I only know the position and weight, and," Father Liu paused, and looked at Mr. Xiao.

"But it doesn't matter." Mr. Xiao nodded to him.

Father Liu continued, "I'm afraid this person was also involved in the killing of the prince."

"What? As a courtier, he is so courageous that he dared to do such a rebellious thing?" Wei Hang's face was already ashen, and his fists were clenched.

Mr. Xiao called him: "Hang'er, calm down. We haven't got conclusive evidence yet. Next, we need to send more people to investigate. On the one hand, we must find out who this person is, and on the other hand, we must act with caution."

"Mr. is right. Master Hang calm down first. The subordinates will do their best to find out the truth." Father Liu saluted Wei Hang deeply, expressing his determination.

Mr. Xiao, who was stroking his long beard under his chin and thinking, frowned and said: "The people with high positions and powers at that time are no longer in the court, and some of them are even dead."

Mr. Xiao remembered that among the deceased was his mentor, the father of the current empress, and the chief scholar of the Imperial Academy.The mentor was deeply appreciated by the late emperor, but died of a sudden illness a few days after the late emperor passed away.

For so many years, he has always felt that there is something strange in him. His teacher has always been in good health, so why did he suddenly fall ill for no reason?
Because too many things happened at that time, he didn't have time to conduct a detailed investigation, so he took his wife and Hang'er back to his hometown to live in seclusion. Later, when he sent someone to investigate, because of the long time, nothing was found.

Now thinking of the collusion between an important official and Xi Rong, Mr. Xiao is even more sure that his teacher was harmed.

He turned his head and said to Father Liu: "When you investigate, also check whether my teacher, the father of the empress, was also killed by someone back then?"

"Yes, my subordinates have remembered." Father Liu responded immediately.

"Father, there shouldn't be many high-ranking and powerful people back then. Let's investigate one by one, and we don't believe we can't find this scum." When Wei Hang thought of the villain who dared to cooperate with the Xirong people to kill the king and the prince, a raging hatred ignited in his chest. The fire, now he is gnashing his teeth.

Mr. Xiao nodded: "Well, the Skynet is well-established, and it is not leaked. This scum can't escape, and he will definitely be caught out to receive the heavy punishment he deserves. But I have a question. The current emperor once sent a heavy punishment in front of the late emperor's coffin. He vowed to attack Xirong to avenge the late emperor, but after he ascended the throne, he refused with various reasons, did not fulfill his promise, and even later married Princess Xirong as his concubine..."

Weihang became nervous: "Father, you mean he was also involved?"

"This possibility is not ruled out, but it may also be acquiescence." Mr. Xiao said with some difficulty.

"Back then, he couldn't protect the safety of the empress and the prince, and his subordinates would have been chilled. If these were all ordered by him, then, it would be terrible." Father Liu's face turned pale, and he was a little afraid to accept this. fact.

"Father Liu, this is just a guess. Everything will be confirmed after verification. The only thing to be thankful for is that everyone was right to be cautious."

Father Liu clasped his fists together: "My subordinates will keep in mind what Mr. said, so let's make arrangements now. Even if everything is turned upside down, we still have to find out the facts."

"Okay, I'll edit a book right away, and you send it to General Li. I'll go to see General Wang later and inform him about this." Mr. Xiao quickly made arrangements.

The two immediately separated to prepare, while Wei Hang frowned and followed his father into the study.Father quickly wrote the secret letter and handed it to Father Liu to hide it in his clothes, and then Father Liu immediately went out with the small package he had just packed on his back.

Mr. Xiao took Wei Hang into the wing room, he locked the door of the wing room, pushed open the floor cabinet in the wing room with Wei Hang, pressed on the mechanism raised on the wall, and the "Yan table" next to it slowly moved opened, and a door appeared.

The two of them stepped into the door and closed it. Wei Hang made a copy on the organ next to the door, and the Yanji slowly moved back to its original position.

The light in the secret passage was very dark, and the two groped their way to the opposite door. Wei Hang touched it and grabbed a string.Tighten and pull.

Immediately there was the sound of jingling bells, and it took a while for the door to move, and then it was pulled open.The light came on at once, and both Mr. Xiao and Wei Hang quickly squinted their eyes to get used to the bright light.

General Wang stood respectfully by the door, he was about to kneel down when he lifted his robe, but Wei Hang hurriedly supported him and stopped him.Mr. Xiao saluted him and told him that he had something important to tell.

He immediately ushered the two into the room and arranged for a seat.Mrs. Wang sent the maids in the courtyard out, carefully closed the courtyard door, and then came in.

After meeting with Mr. Xiao and Wei Hang, Madam was busy making tea for them.

Mr. Xiao told General Wang everything that Father Liu said just now.
