Chapter 399 Who takes the lead?
In the Daxiangguo Temple, the abbot quietly retreated from a room in the back hall and looked up at the stars. After a long time, he softly recited a Buddhist name and slowly walked to his meditation room.

There were two people sitting in the room, an old monk and a man about 40 years old. They didn't speak, they just looked at each other quietly.

"The granddaughter of the Qiao family, the granddaughter of the Liu family, is now named a princess by the royal family? Why is she running out to take care of the Fang family's affairs now?" The old monk lowered his head to think about it and said slowly.

"It seems because she particularly likes investigating cases, and she is also very smart in this regard." The middle-aged man said softly.

"What about their boy?"

"Oh, I heard that it's their aunt's child. My aunt went there. It seems that this child is engaged to their girl. He should have the intention of getting closer. The two of them have a good relationship. They said they are waiting for a boy. After the exam, we'll get married." The middle-aged man chuckled.

"Are you unwilling to marry your daughter to such a family?" The old monk sighed softly.

"My little girl thinks it's good. Everyone in the Qiao family is very easy-going, and their children are also quite playful. The princess doesn't come back often, and even if she was stabbed twice in a row, no one dared to let her leave the palace at will." The man's lips twitched. After a while, he said softly.

This person is Mr. Wang, the father of Xiao Wang. He has just been resurrected because Taichang has been overthrown by others. Now he has just been added to the Ministry of Rites and promoted by half a level.Xiao Wang's theory is that the emperor should give the little princess face and cannot let her fake grandpa remain idle at home.Everyone thought so, and he was too lazy to be pretentious. Who could marry his daughter to a widower who was not a few years younger than himself?

"The royal family is investigating this case with such great fanfare. Do you want to overturn the verdict of what happened back then? What is the point of proving that the late emperor was not a tyrant at this time." The old monk's fingers lightly traced the table.

"The emperor's thoughts are originally unpredictable. He inexplicably confiscated the properties of the four central officials. Master Qin was also confiscated from the nine clans. At this time, the situation in the court is a bit confusing." Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment, but said softly.

"I heard that Qiao Dayong regards women as his life. Now that his daughter has been taken away, what does he think?" The old monk raised his head and looked at Mr. Wang.

"It's true. Qiao Dayong doesn't care much about anything. Just don't mention his daughter. If you touch his daughter, it will cost his life. He will fight to the death. My daughter said that the relationship between father and daughter is very good." Wang Wang The adult shook his head, and his daughter was speechless when she came home and talked about the princess who was not at home.It feels like, even if the princess doesn't come home often, she feels that this cheap daughter is really scary to her. It feels like if her daughter doesn't like her, her husband will leave her.

"Do you think it's your own?" The old monk's eyes were burning.

Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and shook his head, "Of course, if she hadn't grown up, Qiao Dayong would not have agreed to continue the marriage."

The old man nodded, then lowered his head. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he shook his head again, "It seems like no matter what we do, it will be useless."

"Old Master!" Mr. Wang called out urgently.

"There is no more old man." The old man sighed softly.

"Sir, why are you treating this little girl..." Mr. Wang saw that the old man had no problem, but the old man assassinated a little girl in the street, causing panic in the capital.

"What is a girl worth? It's just that the Qiao family has taken too much care, so it's better to teach them a lesson. But I didn't expect that I was wrong." The old man shook his head and sighed softly. "Isn't it because that girl might solve the case?" Mr. Wang hesitated and said softly.

"So what? Can she really find out the truth? The Ximen family didn't dare to touch the late emperor's case. The daughter of a petty official was given the title of princess because of the royal family's guilt towards the Liu family. She really took herself too seriously. It's over. It's just a pretense to clear the late emperor's name. So this man is not a fuel-efficient lamp. While getting rid of the late emperor's people, he also reversed the late emperor's case and made the world think that he was filial. "Old man. Shaking his head gently, he let out a long sigh, "Leave it to them. Whatever the outcome is, you have to admit it."

"You don't want to know the truth?" Mr. Wang hesitated.

"I am the truth. When I returned to the mansion, everyone was dead. I wanted to rush back to the palace to ask the late emperor for an explanation, but the door was sealed and fire broke out. I could only lead them away."

"Then the fire in Kaifeng has nothing to do with you?" Mr. Wang looked at the old man.

"No, I led my people to do the Kaifeng fire. If the Yue Kingdom's palace was burned down, then I will let the late emperor take the Kaifeng palace to be buried with him!" The old man shook his head with a wry smile and looked at Mr. Wang, "Xiao Wang, I never let him You’ve done everything, right?”

"Yes, if it weren't for my father-in-law's cultivation over the years, Wang wouldn't be where he is today." Mr. Wang said calmly.

"At the beginning, it was just a little effort. The Duke of Yue's government has more people helping the court, and you are even less. However, I owe you for taking care of me these years." The old man smiled at Mr. Wang as a greeting.

"But old man, now that the emperor is openly re-investigating the Yue Guogong Mansion case, in the eyes of the subordinate, it is also a good thing. Regardless of whether it is true or false, it is always a direction. The people are not fools, and they must put some truth into it. We can also find some clues." Mr. Wang looked at the old man sincerely.

The old man took a deep breath, put his hands together, closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's Visit.

Mr. Wang quickly stood up, took a step back, bowed deeply to the old man, and quietly retreated.

The old man didn't move, he closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's name. He didn't know if he heard what Master Wang said just now.

"Old man." A dark figure flashed from the darkness. This man was tall and tall, wearing night clothes, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

"Xiao Wang is a good man, just pretend you haven't seen it." The old man still closed his eyes and gently stroked the rosary beads in his hand, but he still said slowly and leisurely.

"He doesn't know anything. I guess both the royal family and the Qiao family know that you are still alive. I heard that the coffin will be opened at Dali Temple tomorrow. I don't know if the bones that took your name can be avoided." Then. The man in black also sat where Lord Wang was sitting just now.

"You said that I couldn't hide it anymore, but you also said that you don't know if you can hide the fake corpse?" The old man finally opened his eyes, "You think the court doesn't know that I am still alive. The so-called truth they are investigating now is too You just want to know where I am. However, after so many years, what have you found out? Of those who went to the south, no one knows who led the case of extermination. It has been ten years, and I am afraid that the innocent souls underground will crawl out to cry out for injustice. ”
