The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 26 Conspiracy
Shen Tan's words, like an introduction, made people immediately think of many aspects.

Su Tong looked slightly frowned, then shook his head, and seemed to sigh, while Jin Wang thought to himself, this matter is not easy to handle.

On the second day after Pan Weide's body was discovered, rumors spread throughout the capital that Pan Weide was killed because he was greedy for beauty and caught a woman to have fun in a casino, but was bumped into by a hero who was passing by the casino. , and then came a hero to save the beauty.

After the news spread, those people in the inns, restaurants and teahouses chatted with each other.

"It is heard that there are traces of a woman in the gambling house, and that woman is tied up. Let's imagine, would a man like Pan Weide, who is strictly controlled by the princess, do such a thing?"

"Marrying a princess is a displeasure. Our man doesn't have three wives and four concubines. It's no wonder Concubine Pan did such a thing."

"..."

When the rumors spread, Liu Wei was still busy at the Liu Family Winery. He only smiled lightly when he heard the rumors. The rumors can be said to be true and false. First of all, it is indeed a hero who saves the beauty, but it is not Pan Weide who is greedy for beauty.

And just when Liu Wei was thinking this way, Cao Jue hurried over from outside.

"Brother Liu, Concubine Pan was killed. As his friend, we must do something."

Liu Wei didn't expect Cao Jue to be such a friend, so he asked, "What do Brother Cao want to do?"

"Go to the princess mansion to comfort the princess!"

Liu Wei smiled lightly: "This should be what Princess Ruyi and Princess Xingping did. We two big men are going to comfort some princess."

Cao Jue was stunned, and said, "Then...then what do you think we should do?"

"Just do what you want, what you did before, and what you still do now."

Liu Wei spoke plainly, neither sad nor gloated over Pan Weide's death, as if that person's death had nothing to do with him, but Cao Jue was still angry: "No, that murderer dares to kill the son-in-law, I will never forgive him."

After Cao Jue finished speaking, he left angrily. Liu Wei shrugged and continued to work on his own affairs. Recently, he bought a lot of grapes from several foreign businessmen and prepared to make wine. Princess Ruyi said that strong wind wine is not suitable Women drink it, so he wants to brew something suitable for women to drink.

In Liu Wei's view, in this world, women should also have the right to enjoy good wine.

Regarding the investigation of Pan Weide's murder, there was no news for several days. At the beginning, Pan Mei went to Kaifeng Mansion every day to inquire about the situation, but after three days, he suddenly stopped going.

King Jin was very disturbed because of this, and now the people in the entire capital are paying attention to this murder case. If Kaifeng Mansion cannot be investigated, it may damage the prestige of Kaifeng Mansion.

After thinking about it for a while, King Jin finally said, "Mr. Su, can we ask Liu Weixun?"

Su Tongkan was not surprised that King Jin asked this question. After all, judging from the current situation, the most suspicious person was Liu Wei. Except for his high martial arts skills, he couldn't explain it. It doesn't mean he doesn't know martial arts.

Su Tong looked very good, and after hearing King Jin's question, he smiled and asked, "My lord, if that Liu Wei is really the murderer, what are you going to do?"

"Of course..." King Jin stopped suddenly. Recently, he has been very troubled by this case, so that he has become more and more anxious, but he has not yet reached the point of confusion. He is very clear about what Su Jiaokan asked what he said just now In his opinion, Liu Wei is a very smart person, such a person is exactly what he needs, and he appreciates Liu Wei more than Pan Weide.

He naturally didn't want such a person to be a murderer.

Furthermore, if one son-in-law killed another son-in-law, there might be many hidden secrets in it, and if it spreads out, it must be a royal scandal. Even if it is for the sake of the royal reputation, King Jin does not want Liu Wei to be the murderer.

Since he appreciates Liu Wei and doesn't want him to be a murderer, even if he is a murderer, it is impossible for him to announce the matter to the world, so why would he ask Liu Wei to ask?
"From Mr. Su's point of view, what should we do about this matter?"

Su Tongkan smiled indifferently: "There were bandits outside the capital who robbed women and girls. Pan's son-in-law bravely rescued them, but unfortunately died."

Su Tongkan's point of view is quite different from the folk rumors. Naturally, this is to take into account the face of the royal family, and only in this way can Pan Mei give up. This is the best situation for King Jin.

King Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "So, I will leave this matter to Mr. Su."

Su Tiaokan nodded, this matter is not difficult for him, just send someone to catch a gangster outside the city, and then let him plead guilty and put him in jail. What about aboveboard?
If you want to succeed, you must have means, and what does it matter if the means are explicit or dark?The right to speak is in the hands of the successful.

Just when King Jin and Su Tongkan were discussing this matter in Kaifeng Mansion, Pan Mei was questioning a domestic slave in the South Korean mansion.

"Is what you said true?"

"Returning to the master, everything is true. Among the industries outside the young master's city, there is indeed a place that is brewing high-purity wine."

After hearing this, Pan Mei's eyes were almost bloodshot. There had been no movement in the Kaifeng Mansion for the past few days, and he was very restless, so he ordered the servants from the mansion to search his son's property outside the city to see if he could find anything. clues come.

Unexpectedly, he found equipment for brewing high-purity wine on his son's site.

Pan Mei is very prestigious in the DPRK, and the news is extremely well-informed. He has also known about wine-related matters in the capital in the past few months. Now that he finds out that Lie Yan Wine is brewed by his son, it is clear at a glance who his son's enemy is. Bar.

The teacup on the table was thrown to the ground by Pan Mei's wave. The house slave stood aside and dared not speak. Pan Mei clenched her hands tightly and bit her lip.

At this time, Pan Mei hated Liu Wei very much, but he couldn't question Liu Wei because of this. Wouldn't it mean that his son had a problem with Parallelism?In this way, aren't the rumors among the people even more well-founded?
He will not let Liu Wei go, but he will never use this reason to bring down Liu Wei.
-
Two days later, Kaifeng Mansion caught Pan Weide's murderer.

The murderer was a well-known robber outside the city, and it took a lot of effort to catch him for Kaifeng Mansion.

According to the murderer, he caught a woman having sex in a gambling house, but was caught by Pan Weide, so he continued to kill Pan Weide and his two attendants.

When King Jin informed Pan Mei and the princess of the news, neither of them raised any objections. At this time, Pan Mei not only did not raise objections, but also thanked King Jin many times for helping them find the murderer.

It's just that when Pan Mei left Kaifeng mansion, her expression changed suddenly, she gritted her teeth, wishing to cut Liu Wei into pieces.

Pan Mei knew very well that the robber would not be the murderer who killed his son, but he did not waste time on that robber. He was very aware of King Jin's methods. If King Jin could make a robber admit that he was the murderer, That must have grabbed the murderer's seven inches. In this way, no matter how hard other people try, it is impossible to change the fact.

After Pan Mei understood this, she couldn't help feeling a bit of hatred towards King Jin. Why?
He didn't understand why King Jin wanted a robber to pretend to be the murderer of his son. Was he protecting Liu Wei, or did he find someone to replace him because he couldn't find the murderer?

Pan Mei, who returned to the mansion, was very unhappy, and lost her temper again because of this.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Father is so angry about the death of eldest brother, it's not worth it. There are many ways to vent your anger. The most effective way is to kill the murderer who killed eldest brother."

The voice was calm, neither humble nor overbearing, even if Pan Mei was in anger, this person seemed to have no trace of fear.

Pan Mei, who was originally angry when she heard this, looked up and saw that it was her adopted son Pan Weiji, her brows were slightly frowned, but she quickly asked, "What can Weiji do?"

Pan Weiji was King Ji of the Later Zhou Dynasty. His original name was Chai Xi. Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe and died in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Because Chai Xi was young, he was adopted by Pan Mei as his adopted son. Although he is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, his mind is already very mature. Among Pan Mei's many sons, he was an outstanding existence, and because of this, Pan Mei didn't like him very much.

His own son is not as good as his adopted son, no one will be happy, right?

But at this time, Pan Mei had to rely on her adopted son.

"Judging from the news of my father's investigation, the murderer is undoubtedly that Liu Wei, but it seems impossible to kill Liu Wei in the capital. The best way is to get Liu Wei out of the capital. If he leaves the capital, he will lose his life." A little bird with wings, father can kill him as he wants."

Hearing these words, Pan Mei was slightly happy, but she quickly frowned and said: "It's not easy for him to leave the capital."

Pan Weiji smiled indifferently: "It would be difficult for him to leave the capital by himself, but if my lord father said a few words in front of the emperor, then the matter would not be difficult."

Pan Mei was slightly taken aback, and said, "What do you mean?"

"The holy majesty ordered my father to crusade against the Southern Han Dynasty. Judging from the current preparations, it is almost done. As long as my father asks the emperor to ask Liu Wei to go out with the army, then Liu Wei will leave the capital? There are various fights along the way, and my father will only need to find Just an excuse to say that Liu Wei was killed by the rebellious army, and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so who can say that it was my father's fault?"

After Pan Weiji finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Pan Mei suddenly became enlightened, and said: "Weiji Wuer is right, as a father, I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty, and want Liu Wei to go out with the army. It must be reported."

After Pan Mei finished speaking, she adjusted her clothes slightly, and then quickly walked out of the mansion, rushing to the palace. Pan Weiji looked at Pan Mei's leaving back, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
