Chang'an is good

Chapter 34
"Pei Min, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites?! I have no grievances with his family in the past and have no grievances in the present. Why did he secretly kill my daughter like this!"

Although Chang Kuo was a little reckless in his bones, he was not a brainless person. He shook his head after cursing: "No...this is still wrong!"

Although he lost to the Cui family, the Pei family is also a big family, so why would he want to attack a little girl?

But this just confirmed one point...it is indeed a big snake.

"Even though it may not be Pei Min—" Chang Suining took the letter, looked down, and thought while thinking: "But since this other courtyard belongs to him, the murderer must be someone very close to him."

Yu Zeng probably also thought about this, so the letter also wrote a detailed list of Pei Min's cronies and his family and children.

He is indeed the master of the Pei family who has the heavy responsibility of spreading branches and leaves. Although Pei Min is sixty years old, the youngest son of a concubine is only ten years old, so it can be seen that he has many children.

Chang Kuo obviously noticed this too, his thick brows were tightly frowned: "This old thing is not idle..."

In front of the child, it is difficult to say much about the rest.

"We need to investigate as soon as possible!" Chang Kuo said, summoned Supervisor Bai, handed over the list, and explained: "...be careful, and don't let go of any clues or suspicious things."

The white manager responded sternly, and stepped back to arrange the matter.

Chang Kuo was not idle either, and took Chang Suian to the study, and before leaving, he told Chang Suining kindly: "Now that I have a plan, Suining can rest assured to recover from his illness, and leave the rest to Dad and you." Brother is!"

Chang Suining nodded superficially, but his inner thoughts did not stop.

Back in the courtyard, she asked Xi'er about "herself" in the past, trying to find some clues.

The Pei family...

Chang Sui Ning stood by the window lost in thought.

Could it be that Mrs. Pei knew something?
But even so, why did Pei Min kill Ah Li?
And buying murder to kill, this kind of behavior... How could the dignified Patriarch of the Pei family use such a means?

Buying a murderer to kill someone is an extravagant act, not to mention choosing a scholar like Zhou Ding who cannot guarantee that he will be able to get things done. Although once the incident happens, it can be used to set the blame on others, but if it is Pei Min's doing, it will appear This patriarch is really not wise.

All in all, the person behind this has means, but not many - at least not the means that Pei Min can use.

Who would that be?

Thinking of the densely packed names of people he saw just now, Chang Suining felt like a mess.

At this moment Que'er came in with an extra invitation card in his hand.

Seeing her girl was staring out of the window with folded arms, Que'er bowed silently and handed the post to Xi'er as usual.

Just as she was about to step back, she saw the girl who was facing out of the window turn around, her gaze fell on Xi'er's hand: "What is it?"

It was an ordinary two-word question, but Que'er was inexplicably nervous, and hurriedly replied: "Miss, it's an invitation card for the flower festival."

"Flower Fair?" Chang Suining's eyes moved slightly.

"That's right, girl, it's spring, and the wives of all the mansions have started to hold flower viewing parties." Xi'er said: "It's just that girls don't like to join in the fun, so these posts are put aside when they are sent. Seal it."

These wives send posts, and they pay attention to the rain and dew evenly. Although their own girls are not among the best among the noble ladies in the capital, they are also ranked high.

It's just that the girl has almost never been there, and these invitations are always just a formality.

"Choose the one that is the most decent and lively." The girl by the window said, "We will go there then."

Xi'er was stunned, but didn't ask any further questions, she answered "Yes", looked at the invitation in her hand, and said, "If it's the most exciting one, then maybe this one is it."

Chang Suining stretched out his hand.

Xi'er handed over the post.

This flower post is very exquisitely made, the water wave dark pattern paper, smoked with precious incense, and the hairpin flowers in lower script are neat and graceful.

But these are not the main point, the main point is the person who posted——

"Madame Zheng Guogong's flower viewing banquet in the garden is very famous. It has been held for many years. Whenever the rich and powerful people in Beijing have free time, they will go to the banquet."

Xi'er was afraid that her daughter would not remember Mrs. Zheng Guogong, nor the flower feast, so she explained from the side.

"..." Chang Suining silently closed the invitation, with a complicated sigh in his heart.

How could she forget her only close friend in the past?

I'm going to see my old friend again.

——With this picture, she was seven years younger when she died, but a whole generation younger than her former peers.

……

The day before Mrs. Zheng Guogong's flower viewing and garden banquet was the day when Chang Kuo and Cui Jing entered the palace for a face-to-face meeting.

The army returned triumphantly, at the Hall of Hanyuan, Emperor Longyan of the Holy Book was delighted.

Chang Kuoren hadn't returned to the mansion yet, the servants already delivered cart after cart of generous rewards to General Xingningfang's residence, attracting many onlookers.

Chang Kuo was not in the mansion, so it was natural that Bai Guan Shi Chu Xing and others led the Chang family brothers and sisters to receive the thanks.

Hearing the servants loudly chanting the oracle of praise, and seeing the rewards that were almost filled up in the front yard, Chang Suining bowed his head and thanked everyone together.

After the servant left, the white steward asked Chang Suining with a smile: "Girl, see if there is anything you like. If there is, send someone to the girl's courtyard."

This has always been the habit of the family, if you get a reward or something good, you must give it to the girl if it can be seen by your daughter, and if the girl doesn't like it, you can keep it.

There is no second female relative in the left and right mansions.

Chang Sui'an also said: "Yes, sister, take a look and see if anyone is sleeping."

Chang Suining glanced at it: "No need, since it is a gift from the imperial court, let's take it to the warehouse and arrange it properly."

With that said, he left the front hall.

"Ningning, where are you going?" Chang Suian hurriedly followed.

"Martial arts arena."

"Huh? I need to practice more... Why don't I accompany you?"

The two brothers and sisters walked towards the martial arts field together.

On the road, the girl walked extremely fast.

For some reason, Chang Suian felt that his sister was not very happy. Although he didn't understand why, he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only say something casually: "...Actually, except for this battle with the Nanman, Dad has not seen it for many years. I have been on the battlefield, and our family has not received such a reward from a saint for many years."

Chang Suining suddenly slowed down a bit: "Is it because of... a leg injury?"

"Probably." Recalling this old incident, Chang Sui'an's tone was unusually heavy: "Father's leg disease is caused by the battle with Beidi 12 years ago... At that time, my sister was still young and didn't remember anything. , my eldest sister was two years old, so she had some vague impressions, and I also heard Uncle Chu and the others secretly say—"

"I heard that in that battle, my father was so red-eyed for some reason. He attacked on the battlefield as if he was dying. Seriously injured... Afterwards, the Beidi Khan expressed his request for peace, and there should be no more battles, but my father was not ordered by the court, and he personally chopped off the Beidi Khan's head in front of Xuan Ce's [-] soldiers!"

　See you tomorrow!Love you guys!
