Chapter 167 Why Don't You Check

"Coming?" Wan Qiqian glanced slightly sideways at Wei Xingzhi who was wearing court clothes, then raised his hand, and turned away the maids in the palace.

Wei Xingzhi stood still, "Have Qiusheng told you?"

Wan Tuqian hummed, rubbing the corner of the rice paper with his fingertips, "What do you think?"

"Zhou Han has already returned to Danyang. If there is no evidence, stay put." Wei Xingzhi lifted up his robe, walked up the steps, and picked up the imperial decree written on the side of the table, "If I knew it, I shouldn't let Qiusheng follow me. "

Wan Chengqian chuckled, "Why, are you afraid that I will order people to secretly take Wang Qi and Wang Zhiyang now?"

Wei Xingzhi rolled his eyes at him, "I know you're not that kind of person."

Wan Chengqian picked up the brush and tapped Wei Xingzhi, "Now that you know, you should understand that Qiusheng just doesn't want to protect you after following you."

Wei Xingzhi frowned slightly, and looked at the content already written in the imperial decree, "Then I will go to the military camp tomorrow, but I have also read the recent memorial, and it seems that the military camp does not welcome me very much."

Wan Chengqian's eyes were slightly cold, "Well, Xu Zhu's military camp has a high prestige. He didn't know where he heard about it. I'm going to send you to rectify it, so after you go, be more careful about this person."

"it is good."

Wei Xingzhi received the imperial edict, left the palace, and returned to the Wei Mansion.

"Sister Xingzhi!" Wan Chengyou saw Wei Xingzhi from a long distance away, and ran towards Wei Xingzhi with small steps.

Wei Xingzhi caught Wan Tuyou's milky body, and patted him on the shoulder, "I look better, how are you doing, did you bully you in the mansion?"

Wan Chengyou stood up straight, shook his head, "No, the people in the mansion are very nice, no one bullies me, brother A Yang even taught me how to play chess."

When Wang Zhiyang was mentioned, Wei Xingzhi's face suddenly darkened, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.

No matter what, she could no longer look directly at Wang Zhiyang calmly.

"You'er, go play first, I have something to do with the old man." Wei Xingzhi handed Wan Qiyou to Fu Lianzi, and went straight to the backyard.

Old General Wei was carrying a birdcage with two turtledoves in it. He strode his horse and practiced Wu Qinxi with his hands in the air.

With his eyes closed, when he heard footsteps behind him, Old General Wei paused, "Why are you back? You haven't been home for two or three days, and the sun is coming out from the east today?"

Wei Xingzhi stopped in his tracks, "Grandfather, I have something I want to ask you."

"Say."

"How did my father die?"

The words were astonishing, and the birdcage in General Wei's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Seeing his reaction, Wei Xingzhi probably understood in his heart that her father's death was definitely not simple. If it was just a simple death in battle, the old man could say something frankly.

Old General Wei stopped his horse in an instant, flicked his sleeves, and walked up to Wei Xingzhi with his eyes open, "You are free, why do you ask this? Your father died on the big sunny slope south of Danyang when he was fighting Danyang , Isn’t this a well-known thing?”

Wei Xingzhi walked to the edge of the birdcage and picked up the birdcage that had fallen on the ground, "If this is the case, why are you panicking, Grandpa?"

"Why am I panicking?" Old General Wei avoided Wei Xingzhi's eyes, "This is an old story, so don't bring it up to pierce my boss's heart."

Wei Xingzhi returned the birdcage to Old General Wei, "If you don't tell me, I'll check it out myself. I don't believe I can't find any clues."

"Okay, you go and check, go and check..." Old General Wei caught the birdcage, "Your father is my son, how did my son die, can I not know?"

Wei Xingzhi rolled his eyes, stopped talking nonsense to General Wei, and turned around directly.

The old lady stood not far away from time to time, looking at Wei Xingzhi with a complicated expression.

"Who told you that your father died strangely?"

Wei Xingzhi narrowed his gaze, and said two words lightly, "The Cheng family."

The old lady glanced at Old General Wei, and immediately told Wei Xing, "You follow me."

Old General Wei's expression changed, "This matter..."

The old lady glanced over, "Since she knows, according to her temperament, if she doesn't find out the truth, do you think she will give up?"

After finishing speaking, the old lady went straight to the study.

Wei Xingzhi's heart turned cold. Judging by the appearance of her grandparents, this matter may be hidden more than that deeply.

Leaning on crutches, the old lady walked to the desk and searched for a long time before finding a box.Then he took off a key-shaped ornament from his crutch.

"come here."

Wei Xingzhi walked a few steps closer, the old lady opened the box, took away the contents, and opened a hidden compartment, revealing a silk cloth and a small porcelain bottle.

"Look for yourself." The old lady pointed to the silk cloth.

Wei Xingzhi picked up the paper and unfolded it to read. What was written on it immediately made her frown.

"Is this the cause of my father's death?"

What was written on this piece of silk should be similar to a modern autopsy report.

"That's right." The old lady's face turned cold, "Back then your father led his troops to drive out the rebels from Xishu, and was besieged by Xishu and Dayangpo. He was shot dozens of times and died, and the Wei family army led by your father , and the entire army was wiped out. Your grandfather arrived, wiped out the enemy army, and returned with your father's body."

Old General Wei felt suffocated when he thought of the scene that day.

If he had gone earlier, his only remaining son would not have ended up like that.

"It's true that your father died in battle, but when your father was about to be buried that day, your mother realized something was wrong." Old General Wei said, "Your mother said that when a normal person is slandered, blood should be sprayed, but your father The wounds on the body have already congealed blood."

Old General Wei took a deep breath, "At that time, it was a serious matter. We buried your father first, then moved out secretly, and invited a foreman to do an autopsy."

Wei Xingzhi pursed his lips, "My father died first and then was shot."

"That's right." The old lady picked up the porcelain bottle in the box, "Your father was poisoned by an incomprehensible poison before he set off on the expedition, and the source of the poison found by your mother was found in it. It turned into water and sprinkled on your father's armor, soaking into your father's body from the skin."

"Why is my mother proficient in this way?" Wei Xingzhi asked.

The old lady paused for a moment, "Your mother is from northern Xinjiang."

Wei Xingzhi took a deep breath, "Then how did my mother die?"

The old lady smiled wryly, "Your mother's body can't live long. Once your father died, your mother's spirit collapsed. Her body is full of poisons. In order to let you be born safely, she has used many kinds of injuries. The method of her own body, at that time, she was already a stranger."

Wei Xingzhi asked again, "Since I knew there was something wrong with my father's death, why didn't I investigate? Instead, I kept hiding it? Is the life of a general of a country so unworthy?"
