One hundred and forty-four: Sortie
Xie Liangcheng was also in pain and confusion at the beginning, he was not a fool, after Xie Yun and the others beside him betrayed him, Zhao Qi saved him, and he knew that there must be something wrong with the people around him.
From the time Xie Liangqing was attacked, it was a trap waiting for him to get into.
But he didn't know who else in the family would be unfavorable to them besides the fifth master.
Master Xie and Second Master Xie are brothers of the same mother and his father......
It wasn't until he fled all the way to the capital and was intercepted by Han Bo and others that he knew that the second uncle, who had been treating him affectionately and gently, was the one behind the scenes who manipulated their life and death behind their backs and treated them as playthings to watch them fall into a desperate situation and struggle to survive.
He told Wei An everything along the way, but he couldn't hold it anymore, and he lowered his head for a while before he raised his head and smiled bitterly: "I also heard what Hou Ye said, it turned out that his mother and my father's mother had a deep hatred. ”
But he didn't understand, even if he had such a deep hatred, why couldn't he stab someone happily? But they had to start with Xie Liangqing, the weakest in their family.
Xie Liangqing didn't even have the ability to protect herself, after giving birth to him, Mrs. Xie San didn't give birth anymore, and stopped the medicine of her aunts, she knew Xie Liangqing's illness, and even didn't plan to marry him because of this, saying that she was afraid of harming other girls, she just wanted to guard the child and live, and she just wanted to do her best for the child in her lifetime.
Second Master Xie really knew that stabbing there was the most painful, and as soon as he came, he wanted to make Mrs. Xie San and Mr. Xie San completely collapse.
If Xie Liangqing died, his mother would never be able to live.
At that time, my father will also take the blame and resign, even if he is lucky to have a life, but what is the use at that time?
Second Master Xie will definitely ridicule him to his heart's content, and he will definitely expel him from the Xie clan......
He called Second Master Xie his uncle for nearly twenty years, but he wanted the lives of their family.
Xie Liangqing held the glutinous rice cake in his hand and didn't dare to eat it.
In the bandits' den, he was frightened, and since his brother was beaten for wanting to eat an extra piece of rice cake, he no longer dared to cry out that he was hungry.
Children may not be smart, but they are very sensitive.
Shen Chen pushed a plate of pastries in front of him, and laughed heartily: "Eat, it's all yours, no one will rob you." ”
Xie Liangqing tentatively looked at his brother's face.
Xie Liangcheng felt even more sad in his heart.
At the same time, he was even more angry.
He paused, comforted his younger brother softly, and then turned his head to look at Wei An and Shen Chen and asked: "He doesn't have so many people available, he is a civil official, and he has been in office before, and then when my grandfather went, he went home to worry." Until now, he has not recovered, even if he counts our family's dart game, and has the support of his uncle, he should not be so capable. ”
He must have a backer behind him.
Shen Chen also nodded: "We have been discussing this matter before, according to our calculations, he should have started training this group of people after your grandfather died, think about it carefully, during this time, have there been any special changes in your family?" ”
Xie Liangcheng thought about it carefully before frowning: "Since my grandfather died, he has lived next to my grandfather's grave and has not come down the mountain for three years. ”
Three years.
At the beginning, because of this incident, many ministers praised Second Master Xie in letters as a filial son and grandson.
The fame of the Xie family in Jingxi has also been further enhanced, and many families are proud to be able to marry the daughter of the Xie family.
But now it seems that in the past three years, whether Second Master Xie has really settled on the mountain is a question.
"Now that I think about it, it does seem that there have been a lot of changes in my family in the past three years." Xie Liangcheng glanced at Zhao Qi and said, "The people in the dart bureau have basically changed, and now they are basically going to the Western Regions to deliver goods......
Guardforce had known about this before.
Zhao Qi, who had been silent, responded in a timely manner: "It didn't take much effort for the young master to get us out of the dart game before, but now that I think about it, before the young master spoke, we were no longer able to reuse the dart game." Most of the darts that go to the Western Regions are received by new dart masters, but they are not much better than our old ones. But the sub-government has sentenced the main to make trouble......"
Wei An was very keen, glanced at Shen Chen, and poured a cup of tea for Xie Liangcheng before asking, "You mean, there is a reason why this dart failed?" ”
Zhao Qi nodded.
He was originally a very intelligent man, and he was very good at finding the key to things from small things.
Guard motioned for him to continue.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think it seems that their purpose is not only to dart, but also to accumulate money......
He paused, and said in a shocking voice: "In the northwest, there are repeated prohibitions on the leather business. ”
The so-called leather business is smuggling, and they exchange horses and all kinds of furs with the Tatars, and the Tatars they want.....
It was food, iron, gold, silver.
Shen Chen cleared his throat.
What Zhao Qi meant was that Second Master Xie actually colluded with the Tatars outside the Guan.
It's not impossible.
But how did Second Master Xie do it?
Wei An suddenly reminded them: "When the king of Chu rebelled, there was a crime in it that was colluding with the Tatar ......."
The line of the king of Chu in the northwest has not been caught.
And what if the king of Chu is not a general who guards the pass, but uses the Xie family, who has mastered the big and small dart games in the northwest?
It's not impossible.
It can also explain why Second Master Xie has such great ability.
Shen Chen immediately instructed Cedar: "Check the Ping'an Dart Bureau." ”
Zhao Qi took the initiative to ask: "Master Hou, I also want to go together, I know the Xie family very well......
He knelt down at Wei An, raised his head and said, "If the second master doesn't get rid of it for a day, you and the young master will still be in danger....."
Wei An nodded at Shen Chen.
Shen Chen didn't say anything else before agreeing, and asked Cedar and them to pay attention.
But even if you go to check on Xie's house, it's not something that can be found out in a moment.
Wei An reminded Shen Chen: "In addition to Second Master Xie in the capital, they have other people. The King of Chu has long been destroyed, Qiu Chuying and Zhu Fang are not spared, why can Second Master Xie be alone? This person...... With such an understanding of welcome and change, I am afraid that I have already climbed another high branch and used it as an umbrella. ”
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to design her so arrogantly, and he wouldn't even be afraid of King Zheng standing behind her.
Shen Chen heard the meaning of Wei An's words, and solemnly assured her: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out." ”
It is easier to catch this yellow finch hidden in the capital than the second master of Cha Xie.
