Chang'an is good

Chapter 185 Murder
Wujue said: "Unfortunately, it's the eldest grandson Seventh Lady."

His phrase "very unfortunate" naturally refers to the identity of the other party's future crown princess. It is really "very unfortunate" that she suddenly disappeared when the matter of choosing the crown princess is about to be decided.

Chang Suining frowned slightly.

It turned out to be the seventh lady of the eldest grandson's family, eldest grandson Xuan.

She couldn't help asking: "Have you found any clues?"

"I only know that he disappeared in the back mountain with his personal maid, and the master and servant have not been found yet..." Wujue shook his head: "No matter how many there are, I won't know."

Although the monks in the temple participated in the search, they were only responsible for leading the way in the back mountain. The people from the Changsun family and the imperial army sent by Emperor Shengchi were in charge of the specific matters. The monks did not dare to inquire too much.

Chang Suining thought about many possibilities in a flash, and finally said: "I hope people can come back safely."

She had a somewhat appreciation-based affection for the girl who had met alone in private and who dared to admit frankly that she had a motherly heart.

And no matter what kind of possibility the other party encounters, a girl of this age is always the weak side... It may be a blessing if she can come back safely.

The three-day blessing was over, and it was impossible for the Emperor Shengji and his ministers to stay too long in Dayun Temple because of the disappearance of a girl. It had been more than ten days before and after leaving the palace this time, and there were too many government affairs that urgently needed to be returned to Beijing.

In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Shengji, along with his ministers and his wife and relatives, set off from Dayun Temple and drove back to the city, leaving a hundred imperial guards in Dayun Temple to continue the search.

If the wives who accompanied him paid attention, it would be known that Mrs. Kuang, the wife of Zuo Chancellor Sun Yuan, did not accompany him back to the city.

This time, Kuang seldom obeyed her husband's arrangement and insisted on staying in Dayun Temple to wait for news of her daughter.

Changsun Yuan knew very well that his wife loved the youngest daughter the most, and he did not force his wife to return to Beijing, but left some people to accompany her.

After returning to Beijing, Changsun's family was also secretly looking for Changsun Xuan's whereabouts everywhere in the city.

Although the possibility of Zhang Sunxuan returning to the city alone with her maid in private is very small, the sooner the better, the sooner the better, no matter what kind of possibility it is, it must be considered as soon as possible, and the place to be found should be searched as soon as possible.

Paper can't contain fire, and as the scope of the Changsun family's search for people is getting bigger and bigger, the news of the disappearance of the eldest grandson's seventh wife, Changsun Xuan, spread like wildfire.

So far, Changsun Xuan has been missing in the back mountain of Dayun Temple for more than four days.

The eldest grandson's family has no intention of hiding it anymore. If it was a fluke at the beginning, it was only because the person got lost accidentally or went to another place, so as not to cause unnecessary criticism after the person returned, so they chose to suppress the news. Then a full four days passed, which was enough for all fluke thoughts to disappear.

An aristocratic daughter who has never left home alone, and has not returned for four days, must have encountered an unexpected situation beyond her control.

No matter what the accident was, Changsun Yuan only had one idea now, to get his daughter back, whether it was dead or alive.

Although he seems to have a rigid and indifferent personality, and puts family interests first, he treats his youngest daughter no less affectionately than his wife.

His Xuan'er has been well-behaved, sensible, and has her own ideas since childhood. In addition to a father's love for his daughter, he treats this little daughter with more value and expectations that are different from other children.

Chang Sunyuan cared more about his daughter's whereabouts than the criticism from outside.

After the news of Changsun Xuan's disappearance spread, there were indeed many speculations everywhere.

There were even gossip reports that the seventh lady of the eldest grandson's family was dissatisfied with the arrangement at home and did not want to enter the palace to be a princess, so she took the opportunity of praying at Dayun Temple to elope with someone.

After this common rumor spread, Kuang, who was already overly worried about her daughter's whereabouts, fell ill in anger.

But by the sixth day, the rumor was self-defeating.

The eldest grandson Qi Niang who had been missing for many days was found.

To be precise, the body of Lady Changsun Qi was found.

The person was finally found in the back mountain of Dayun Temple. At first, the search for the person was just to search all over the mountains and plains. Later, when he considered the possibility of bad things, he began to pay attention to the underground.

The body was buried under a hidden bush outside the maple forest in the back mountain.

The autumn weeds were already withered and yellow, and the place where the corpse was buried was also covered with withered and yellow weeds as a cover, so when I didn't approach it at first, I didn't notice the strangeness here.

The murderer must have considered that he did not want to leave too many traces, so Changsun Xuan and her maid were buried in the same place.

It was cold in late autumn, and the corpse was buried under the cold mound. When it was dug out, the faces of the master and servant were still intact and clear, and there were not many signs of decay.

Even though he was sick, Mrs. Kuang, who had been waiting in Dayun Temple for a while, passed out on the spot after hearing the news.

Soon, Changsun Yuan also rushed over accompanied by his son.

The cute and smart appearance of Yaonu is still in front of my eyes, and no one expected that a trip to Chongyang to worship ancestors would be separated by yin and yang.

The girl's icy cheeks were covered with mud and a few green chrysanthemum petals, and her pair of widened eyes protruded, as if she wanted to firmly remember the appearance of her enemy, and she seemed to be full of endless fear and unwillingness.

Changsun Yuan raised his hand tremblingly, and temporarily covered his daughter's remains with white silk.

The eldest grandson Yan on the side raised his hand to support his father: "Father..."

Changsun Yuan stared fixedly at the girl's body covered in white silk, and said slowly: "It's okay to be a father."

Now is not the time to grieve.

What to do now... is to find out the truth of this matter!
……

Emperor Shengji learned of this, and after obtaining the consent of the Changsun family, he handed over the case and the corpses of Changsun Xuan's master and servant to Dali Temple.

According to Wu's test, Changsun Xuan was suffocated to death by being strangled by the neck.

Changsun Xuan's maid died after being repeatedly hit on the back of the head with a stone.

Other scars show that both the master and the servant had struggled and resisted before they died, but failed.

The person was discovered in the back mountain of Dayun Temple, so the interval between the last time he appeared in front of people in the back mountain and the discovery of his disappearance was the time when Changsun Xuan was killed.

During this period of time, there were a lot of people coming and going to the back mountain. There were nearly a hundred people from the women's family who went to pick chrysanthemums and maidservants, and there were also monks from the temple.

With such a large scope, and all the children of officials and dignitaries involved, it is not easy to investigate one by one, and it is bound to be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But the progress of the case was much faster - because at the burial site of Changsun Xuan that day, something that did not belong to the deceased was found.

Dali Temple first launched an investigation on the ownership of this object.

……

After the news of the death of the eldest grandson Seventh Lady spread, there was an uproar in Beijing.

Those who were timid among the noble ladies who were traveling together that day, were so frightened that they couldn't sleep peacefully when they thought that such a bloody thing was happening not far away while they were chatting and laughing and picking chrysanthemums.

When Chang Suining heard the news, he was practicing boxing with Ah Dian on the martial arts arena.

Something happened to the eldest grandson Seventh Lady.

Chang Suining subconsciously looked up at the sky. At this moment, the sun was about to set, and such a young, beautiful and lively life seemed to disappear from this world like the twilight.

The girl with a firm goal originally made an agreement with her to be friends with her when the situation allows in the future.

They haven't had time to become friends yet.

Before the other party had time to try whether the road of mother Yi Tianxia was easy or not, everything came to an abrupt end.

When Chang Suian suddenly heard about this, he also felt a little depressed. Although he was not familiar with the eldest grandson Seventh Lady, when he thought that she was just a little girl who was about the same age as his sister, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Brother was also in the back mountain that day, Dali Temple should send brother to come to ask questions soon." Chang Suining reminded: "Brother will answer everything according to the facts at that time."

Chang Sui An should come down.

But in the next two days, the Chang Mansion did not wait for the people from Dali Temple to come. Chang Suining sent people to inquire and found out that only a few people from Dali Temple came to ask questions.

Not a large-scale investigation...

Could it be that the suspicious person has been locked secretly?
Chang Sui Ning Xin thought about it.

She has been paying attention to the progress of Changsun Xuan's case, but she has not stopped arranging her own affairs.

In the past few days, she and Chang Suian made an agreement.

Recently, in the Xuan Ce camp, the matter of leading troops to the northern border to build border defense has been put on the agenda.

It is still said to the outside world that Cui Jing will lead the army, and the army will set off in two days.

Although Cui Jing had already secretly left Beijing first, the matter had already been arranged properly and was handed over to his confidant lieutenant general to oversee the handling. All he had to do was proceed according to the original plan—ordered [-] soldiers from Xuan Ce's army and rushed to the northern border, waiting for Cui Jing to deal with it. And governor Shi's rebellion, and then went to the northern border to join his subordinates.

In the Xuance camp, many recruits were on the list for this trip north.

Because of Chang Kuo, Chang Sui'an's identity is a bit special after all, Cui Jing had confessed before leaving that this trip can be chosen by him.

Chang Sui Anben planned to stay in Beijing to guard his family and his sister, but under Chang Sui Ning's persuasion, the boy was finally persuaded and chose to join the journey north.

The reason why Chang Suining insisted on persuading Chang Suian to go was due to two considerations.

First, since brother has chosen to take this road of joining the army and making contributions, he should seize the opportunity. Although the northern border is bitter, it is a good place for experience.

Moreover, the intention of this trip to the north was not to conquest, but to deter Beidi who was about to move. Most of what he did was to garrison troops and repair defenses. Compared with those wars that had already started, it was not very dangerous, and it was suitable for recruits to adapt to the army. Live, gain knowledge.

If Cui Jing goes there later, it will be an extremely rare opportunity for my brother to experience under such a good general with rich battlefield experience.

It may take several years for Xuan Ce's army to go. If brother misses it, he will stay in Beijing for a long time. A young man wants to hone his skills and become a general. Every day is precious.

She didn't want Chang Suian to miss such a good opportunity because of worrying about her.

And her second consideration is related to the current situation.

Now the emperor has to worry about foreign aggression, deal with internal troubles, and contend for power with noble ministers. In addition, the sudden accident of Changsun Xuan made the whereabouts of the princess and concubine unknown again. New contradictions are born, and once they break out, there will be major shocks.

The emperor's feet sound stable, but at the same time they are also the center of the vortex of the struggle.

The war in Yangzhou is also closely related to the situation in the capital, and Lao Chang is the deputy commander of the battle against rebellion in Yangzhou, so he is destined not to stay out of it.

Therefore, Chang Suining believes that letting Chang Suian stay away from the capital as soon as possible may avoid many troubles that may arise in the future.

Fortunately, her elder brother is very persuasive.

In the morning of the next day, Chang Suian took his burden and Jiantong with him, and was about to leave the house, and went to Xuance Mansion to prepare for leaving Beijing with the army tomorrow.

Outside the Hushi General's mansion, many people gathered around to see him off.

In addition to Chang Suining and Chang's servants, there are Qiao's brothers and sisters, Cui Lang and other children who are close friends with Chang Suian, and the servant sent by Yu Zeng to see him off.

"Ningning, I'm not at home, you must take care of yourself." Chang Suian repeatedly urged.

After getting Chang Suining's nod, he looked at Qiao Yubai again, with a much stronger tone: "Qiao Yubai, after I leave, my sister will take advantage of you... I mean, I will leave it to you!"

"Don't worry." Qiao Yubai said seriously: "I will definitely take good care of Ning Ning, and keep it until you come back. Ning Ning will only see me as a brother."

Chang Sui Anli's eyes widened: "Are you despicable!"

"Just kidding." Qiao Yubai smiled and said, "Ningning Mianmian and I will stay at home and wait for you to return from your meritorious service. When you become a general, I will call you brother."

Chang Suian raised his hand and thumped his shoulder: "That's what you said, then you can wait to change your name and call me brother!"

Both Chang Suining and Qiao Yumian couldn't help laughing.

A group of people chattered for a while, until Jiantong reminded that it was time to leave, and Chang Suian restrained himself, clasped his fists at the crowd, and jumped on the horseback.

The young man was sitting high on the horseback, with a heroic posture, already showing a bit of might.

However, Qiao Yubai said firmly: "I guess Suian will definitely wipe tears again."

Chang Suining nodded: "Well... at most, it can't support three numbers."

three two……

As soon as they counted to two in their hearts, the young man on the horse turned his back and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.

Then he raised his voice tactically to conceal his emotions, and turned his back to the crowd and said, "You all go in, I'm leaving!"

As he spoke, he was afraid that he would lose face if he stayed any longer, so he hurriedly yelled "drive" and drove away with Jiantong.

Chang Suining and others watched the boy's back disappear at the end of the lane.

The white manager also sighed with some reluctance. It was the first time for Mr. Lang to leave home, and he was traveling north with the army... But children always have to grow up, and teenagers always have to experience.

Manager Bai collected his emotions and greeted the disciples who came to see him off to drink tea in the mansion.

"Brother Yubai, sister Mianmian, follow me."

After entering the mansion, Chang Suining called Qiao's brothers and sisters to the inner hall alone.

Cui Lang thinks that compared with those disciples, he is also his own person, the front hall is not suitable for him to entertain outsiders, he is suitable to be with Qiao Xiao...cough, with the master.

Anyway, brother Qiao is also here, and he is not the only man, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

Chang Suining was too lazy to chase him away, so he followed.

On the way, Qiao Yumian asked softly, "Ningning, what's the matter?"

Knowing that she is inconvenient to move, if there is nothing urgent, Ning Ning would not call her and elder brother to talk elsewhere alone.
