Chapter 112 Roasted Sweet Potatoes (2)

Not saying something doesn't mean you don't know it.

Although the second grandson is not a person who would punish others for trivial matters, you can know what kind of person the second grandson is by paying attention to the bowl for three meals a day.

Although the cook at home can cook well, it obviously does not suit his taste. He has always had a mediocre response to the dishes cooked by the cook at home, let alone the dishes prepared by the official chef of Dali Temple.

Of course, the ones at home are better than those served by the official chef of Dali Temple. He often brings meals to Dali Temple every day.

Until a few days ago, my grandson suddenly stopped bringing food. Not only that, he would often come back after finishing his evening meal.

He is not the only one to have this kind of change, there are many like this in the entire Dali Temple. If you ask a little bit, you will know what is going on.

There is a new cook in the public kitchen of Dali Temple. The cook is very good at her skills.

Duke Jing Guo was a little surprised when he heard the news, and then he instinctively thought of inviting someone into the house or paying her to teach the family cook. Then after asking about it, he learned about the cook's life experience.

Her surname is Wen, and she is Wen Xuance's daughter.

Although the crime was not as bad as that of his wife and daughter, and Wen Xuance himself was punished, the girl was just a child and didn't understand anything when the incident happened.

It's one thing to know, but it's another thing to think about the situation of an old friend.

Duke Jingguo thought that all he could do was pretend he didn't see it.

No matter who she was to Wen Xuance, since the matter of that year had been settled, it was over. He won't care about it, and he doesn't want to care about it.

But Wen Xuance's daughter must not run into him! Seeing Wen Xuance's daughter reminded people of what Wen Xuance had done with him. He really didn't know what he would do in anger.

The eldest son knew about this matter, the eldest grandson knew about it, but the second grandson, who had always been sensible, suddenly mentioned it at this moment...

Duke Jingguo's expression was extremely ugly. He looked at the calm face of the last grandson and thought of the second grandson's past performance. He took a deep breath and warned: "Afei, don't mention this matter again!"

After hearing this, Lin Fei lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then raised his head to face Duke Jingguo's stormy face, and said: "Grandpa, you know me. I had not yet entered Dali Temple when the incident occurred, and this case was so troublesome. Big, I want to ask about this case."

Cisun has such a temper, otherwise why would he go to Dali Temple instead of other yamen? People in places like Dali Temple deal with extremely vicious criminals all day long, and even they were extremely worried at first. However, Cisun was able to stay there like a fish in water, and was promoted to the rank of Young Minister of Dali Temple. Regardless of the ancestral shadow, in terms of official rank, he has surpassed the eldest grandson.

After telling himself several times that Sun Sun had such a temper, Lord Jingguo managed to calm down and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Afei, there's nothing to say about this matter. The evidence is conclusive. If you don't believe it, you can do it yourself." Go to the Dali Temple warehouse to check the files!"

When Lin Fei heard this, he said, "I have already asked Mr. Zhao. The file on that case has been sealed and no one can access it, including Mr. Zhao himself."

It was because he couldn't access it that he went out of his way to find the insiders of his grandfather's case.

"My grandfather is even friends with General Shao, so he will be very concerned about this case." Lin Fei said, "My grandfather should know the story of this case."

"What? Do you think this case will still be the result of Wen Xuance's unjust accusation?" Looking at Cisun's calm face, Duke Jing couldn't help but choked. Even though this matter has nothing to do with Cisun, when it comes to this case , his chest felt stagnant. Thinking of that bold and upright man, anger welled up in his chest. He raised his hand and slapped it on the stone table, "This matter is worth the lives of Wen Xuance's family. I I feel lighter!"

Lin Fei looked at the angry Duke Jingguo and did not continue to speak. When Duke Jingguo calmed down a little, he spoke again: "My grandson is just curious."

Curious... Anyway, at this age, I still have time to cultivate my character, and I won't be as impulsive as I was when I was young.

Looking at Lin Fei, Duke Jing took a deep breath and said calmly: "The story of this case is not complicated. It was Wen Xuance who secretly changed the edict..."

"Grandfather!" Lin Fei interrupted Duke Jing's words and said, "The late emperor was mediocre and indulged in drinking and sex. He was better at the beginning. But in the years after the accident, he was often so drunk that he forgot everything after he woke up. , how to be sure that this edict was not written by the late emperor himself?"

"When the edict was written, two chamberlains were present and saw it with their own eyes. When the edict was passed out, Shi Qing, the chief eunuch, read it with his own eyes. You also know that Shi Qing will only be loyal to whoever is in power, and he will not be loyal to anyone. Damn, I was even favored by Shao Yuanqing, so why would I inexplicably collaborate with several servants to give false testimony?" Duke Jingguo said.

"There was no problem when the edict was passed to Wen Xuance. After it was passed to the soldiers through Wen Xuance's hands, it was sealed with a special machine craftsman's lock and special sealing wax. Do you think the soldiers can easily crack it if they have this ability?"

"Also, when the edict was passed and the content was read out, even the soldiers themselves were shocked. Everyone did not believe it. There were even local masters who tried to study the authenticity of the edict's handwriting. Even these masters could not tell the authenticity. Do you think other than Wen Xuance, who else can imitate his fake handwriting?" When Duke Jingguo said this, he couldn't help but sneered, "What a great scholar who is famous all over the world! God gave him such amazing talents and talents. , but he used it to assassinate Zhongliang, do you think people like him will be reviled by the world?"

Lin Fei fell silent again when he heard this: Although he had already heard from Zhao Mengzhuo, Wei Fu and other people who had handled the case that the evidence was conclusive, the evidence was so conclusive that it was difficult to find any flaws.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Duke Jing again: "Why did he do this?"

The evidence is conclusive that he harmed people, but what’s the reason? Why would a civil servant who is famous all over the world harm a general?

Justice Jingguo said: "Who doesn't think it's unreasonable? But after a closer inspection, we found that there had been discord between Wen Xuance and Yuan Qing."

"After the death of his first wife in the Yuan Qing Dynasty, he did not remarry. Instead, he took the maid who had given her to him before her death and took her to his concubine. He was fighting in various places and was often away from the capital. This concubine was wandering on the street one day and was entangled by local gangsters. When Wen Xuance saw this, he helped and even asked someone to send her back." When Duke Jingguo said this, he couldn't help but sneer, "Wen Xuance, who has a beautiful wife at home, doesn't even show his kindness to his beautiful wife at home, and he doesn't even look at her seriously outside. He didn't even look at those women, but he suddenly cared for a woman like this, do you think it's not abnormal for him?"

"Abnormal." Lin Fei nodded and said frankly, "But this is far from enough to be a reason for him to kill others."

"Of course it's not enough, but what if there are many people who have seen Wen Xuance's private meeting with that concubine? And more than once!" When Duke Jingguo said this, his anger rose again, "These two people, one of them read the sage's book in vain, and actually To do such a thing! If a husband is not in Beijing, he is not at home and commits the act of stealing men and prostitutes women. Do you think the behavior of these two people is hateful? "

"If it is true, it is naturally hateful. But if there is no evidence of decision, it is not enough to prove that these two people really did such a thing." After Lin Fei said this, he paused and then said, "Taking a step back, Even if you really do such a thing, if you find out about it, you will be criticized at most, and you will not be demoted to an official position. Besides, even wives can divorce on the grounds of emotional discord, let alone concubines? A piece of letters Then he can be released. Why would he tamper with the edict just to steal a woman?"

Wen Xuance was not a fool. He knew that once this matter was revealed, the entire family would be buried with him.
