Wei Shu

The concubine's room was brought in, but Cheng Wei's life was not colorful, on the contrary, he lost the tranquility of the past.

Speaking of which, this concubine's family name also has some origins. Her surname is Fang and her name is Qiaoxin.

In the huge mansion of the Cheng family, not only the old Mrs. Feng's family lived, but also the little Feng's family.

Old Mrs. Feng and this young Feng are sisters of the same mother. Back then, the two sisters married into the Cheng family. But it was a concubine who married a side branch.

Later, the Cheng family fell into decline, and Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Feng became widows one after another. The little Mrs. Feng, relying on her clever mouth, fell in love with Mrs. Feng. After many incidents, the remaining property of the Cheng family was also sold out, almost not even enough money for the Cheng Ji brothers to study.

Fortunately, Cheng Wei found a good marriage. The Jiang family is a wealthy family, and the Cheng family's life has gradually improved.Today, the young Feng's family still lives in the same courtyard as Mrs. Feng's, separated by a courtyard wall and divided into two mansions, East and West.

Fang Qiaoxin is the cousin of Fahrenheit, the wife of Uncle Cheng Si of the Xifu, Mrs. Feng has never liked Jiang, and she thinks that it is a good thing to get closer, so that Fahrenheit only said twice in front of her, and she ordered her to die. Cheng Wei took Fang Qiaoxin as his concubine.

Although there is a clever word in Fang Qiaoxin's name, his personality is somewhat similar to old lady Feng's. Sometimes Cheng Ji looks on, and he can't help feeling a little bit emotional.

With someone to accompany him, and no intention to sleep with him, the second brother in his family is really lonely.Moreover, Cheng Wei and his wife Jiang Shi used to have a deep love as husband and wife, and taking a concubine was a helpless act, but now this concubine's room has become a heart problem for the second wife.

It stands to reason that these inner affairs should be handled by the mistress. Cheng Wei thought that he had suffered from this situation for a long time, so when he heard that Mrs. Jiang was leaving soon, he smiled more than usual in those few days some.

But no one expected that Jiang's mother and daughter suddenly disappeared on the way back to Beijing, another murder case occurred in Baishi Academy, and the real murderer is still outside killing people, Cheng Wei's mood at this time, even if Cheng Ji is outside the bureau , also feel the same way.

But what he can do is limited.Waiting in the study room today, I was also afraid that Cheng Wei would be aroused by the old lady's words, and it would be bad if he separated from his family again.

After sitting quietly for a while, Cheng Ji said in a harmonious voice: "People outside say 'old boy, old boy', people are getting older, but they will be like that young child, talking and acting with less rules, and the second brother will have a heart Let it go, that's all."

This is tactfully persuading Cheng Wei not to be as knowledgeable as Mrs. Feng, but it is not as good as that, just like "the son never blames the mother".

These years as a dispatcher in the Imperial College, I have read more and more books on sages, and it seems that there is a sage in the bones. Looking at it, it seems that the person sitting beside the desk is not Cheng Ji, but some sage Live image.

Cheng Wei listened to these words, the expression on his face seemed to have changed, but it was not very clear, and when he spoke again, he could only use three simple words:

"I can save it."

Pausing for a while, turning around, he comforted his eldest brother: "Elder brother, don't worry too much, as long as Yuan Niang and the others stay at home, they will be safe."

It's good not to mention this matter, but when this matter is mentioned, Cheng Ji's face is also filled with worry, and he sighed: "Even so, it is shocking."

What the two of them said still brought back the murder case.

The first deceased in this case was Cui Qiniang, a female student of Baishi Academy.

This Cui Qiniang was the daughter of Cui Rang, who served as a doctor in the court and edited the collection of Yingdian. She was only 13 years old when she died.The other three deceased in this case were also girls in their teens, but except for Cui Qiniang, none of them were students of Baishi Academy.

The reason why this case was named "Baishi Academy Murder Case" was because Cui Qiniang was the No.1 deceased.

Cheng Wei has been a judge for six years, and he has handled nearly a hundred murder cases. He knows that in such sporadic and continuous murder cases, the No. 1 deceased often hides the most critical clues, so Bai Shi was arrested. The name of the academy is placed first.

What's more, that Cui Qiniang was the daughter of a fifth-rank official, and she died in Baishi Academy, which caused a lot of panic at that time, so the weight of this case is different.

"Cui Chaofeng's hair is already half gray, and he looks ten years older." After counting breaths, Cheng Wei sighed, his tone very heavy.

Cui Chaofeng is Cui Rang, the father of Cui Qiniang. He is sick at home now and has not been on duty for half a month.

This Cui Rang was weak, and he gave birth to a son with difficulty when he was 30 years old. Later, his beloved daughter was born. He loved these two children very much, and these two children were also smart and handsome. She was the first to be admitted to Baishi Academy, but she was a well-known talented woman in Bianjing.

Unexpectedly, her beloved daughter suffered a sudden misfortune and died tragically in the academy. Cui Rang, a white-haired man with a black head, was in pain for a while, which caused an old disease, and he was bedridden.

It was for this reason that this case was brought before the officials.

A series of young girls died unexpectedly, and some high-ranking families who knew the basics were already in danger. Because the Kaifeng government used many means to suppress the news, there were not many rumors in the public.

However, if the murderer continues to commit crimes, news will spread one day, and I'm afraid that the people's hearts will be turbulent and it will be difficult to end it.

There are also many young girls in the Cheng family, among them Cheng Yuanniang and Cheng Yue'e are Cheng Ji's daughters, as a father, he is naturally worried about his daughter's safety, and he is also very concerned about this case.

"Brother, go back and tell sister-in-law that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will only be lively and lively at home, and there is no need to go to the lantern festival outside." Cheng Wei said at this time.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, colorful lanterns will be hung everywhere in Bianliang City, and there will be acrobatic troupes playing in the downtown area, and the common people will go out to watch and play. This is a common practice in Kyoto.

But this Mid-Autumn Festival is obviously not a good time for night tours and lantern viewing. Cheng Wei said this, intending to ask the sister-in-law Wang who is in charge of Zhongfu to restrain the people in the West Mansion, so as not to join in the excitement of the Mid-Autumn Festival .

However, based on his understanding of the little Feng's family in the West Mansion, even if he brought these words, he might not be able to listen to them.

Cheng Ji also knew the key point, so he responded with a gentle voice.

Those who should be notified should be notified. After all, they are also relatives of the family. As for whether the other party obeys or not, his attitude is consistent with Cheng Wei.

The two brothers changed the topic, uttered a few gossips, and were about to talk about the official affairs of the court, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the courtyard, it seemed that many people were running and screaming.

"What's going on outside?" Cheng Wei asked in a raised voice.

The boy guarding the door didn't know what happened, and he didn't pay attention to it, when he suddenly saw a woman stumbling over from a long distance, shouting at the same time, "Back... you're back! Hurry... tell the second master, Second... the second lady is back."
