Chapter 166 Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed
Time suddenly passed, and two days passed quickly.
In these two days, the entire Xi family has been in chaos!
Since Xi Xiangyu left Xi's mansion two days ago and said he was going to meet Wei Yuan, he has never come back, and he has not even participated in the court meeting in the past two days.
Mrs. Xi sent all the servants and guards in Kyoto to search, but there was no news for two days, which made the Xi family unable to sleep or eat.
They also sent people to the Wei Mansion, and the answer they got was that Xi Xiangyu had never been to the Wei Mansion, which made Wei Yuan extremely confused.
At the same time, this also made Wei Yuan realize that Xi Xiangyu's disappearance for no reason might not be that simple.
This incident soon alarmed the court.
The disappearance of the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice is no small matter. When Li Deyi learned about this, he secretly sent people to lead the prison to find the disappearing Xi Xiangyu.
Finally, on the morning of the third day, news came from the prison that Xi Xiangyu was found.
However, the body of Xi Xiangyu was found!
When Li Deyi heard this, he was furious. He was the minister of the Ministry of Justice and a second-rank minister, but he was killed. No matter who did it, it was undoubtedly a provocation of the court and their royal family.
Immediately, Li Deyi sent Zuo Qing to assist Ma Wenjin in investigating the matter.
At this moment, the Xi family was immersed in grief.
The entire Xi Mansion was hung with white lanterns. In the main hall, a nanmu coffin was placed in it. Men, women, young and old all gathered in front of the coffin.
"Master, you died so miserably..."
"My son... why did you let me, a white-haired man, give me a black-haired man..."
"father……"
Crying sounds continued to come out, wandering throughout the Xi Mansion.
At this moment, a figure came from outside the door and walked quickly, and the two of them quickly entered the main hall.
The person who came was Zuo Qing and Ma Wen.
Seeing the two of them coming, the Xi family housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to the ground to simmer incense and candles. The two took the candle and bowed three times to Xi Xiangyu in the coffin.
"Sir, you must seek justice for my master. My master is diligent in treating the court, but now he is injustices. He dies indecisively. He is wronged!"
Mrs. Xi hurriedly went to Ma Wenjin and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Madam, don't want this, please get up quickly!"
Seeing this, Ma Wenjin hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Xi up, and then said with a serious look on his face: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has issued an order to ask the officials to investigate this matter. Lord Xi and I have been serving as an official in the same court for more than ten years. I will definitely give your Xi family an explanation for this matter!"
"Thank you, sir! I hope you can find out the murderer who murdered my master as soon as possible and bring him to justice!"
...
Prince's Mansion.
The news came back from Yu Zixuan a quarter of an hour ago when Xi Xiangyu's body was found.
But all of this was just Chu Mo doing it on purpose. If Chu Mo wanted to destroy the corpse, how could the people who led the prison find there so quickly?
"Young Master, the Grand Master is here! I am waiting for the Young Master in the back garden courtyard."
At this moment, Yu Zixuan came to the study room and said softly.
When Chu Mo heard this, he nodded, then put on a coat, went to the back garden, and met Wen Haoxuan.
"Is it important to come to the mansion so early?"
Chu Mo knew that Wen Haoxuan had assisted Li Deyi in the past few days to review the memorials sent by the three ministries. Even the Grand Tutor's Mansion rarely went back, but today he came to his mansion. Chu Mo could guess what was the matter.
"When I have nothing to do, I will come and see my son-in-law. How have I lived in these two days?"
Wen Haoxuan said with a chuckling.
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo smiled indifferently: "Thank you, my father-in-law, for your concern. My son-in-law is very relaxed and comfortable. However, my father-in-law has been busy with official business recently, so he needs to pay more attention to his health."
Looking at Chu Mo's chuckling expression, Wen Haoxuan suddenly sighed.
"What happened to my father-in-law?"
Chumo asked.
"Hey, so many things have happened in the past few days. The drought in Pingzhou has not been resolved until now. At this critical moment, Prince Nanyan brought a delegation to meet the saint. These things have made us breathless, adding..."
Speaking of this, Wen Haoxuan wanted to speak but stopped, and he couldn't help but glance at Chu Mo from the corner of his eyes.
“What’s added?”
Chu Mo asked curiously.
"Have you heard of the idle son-in-law? Xi Xiangyu, the Minister of Justice of the Court, was killed and thrown away the body in the wilderness. His Majesty was furious when he learned about this. Now he ordered the Minister of Justice Ma Wenjin to do his best to investigate the matter thoroughly."
Speaking of this, Wen Haoxuan's eyes remained on Chu Mo. If ordinary people heard this news, they would be shocked. But at this moment, Wen Haoxuan did not see any surprise expression on Chu Mo's face. Instead, he was very calm, which made Wen Haoxuan's heart tremble!
After Chu Mo heard Wen Haoxuan's words, he had already made clear about the purpose of Wen Haoxuan coming here. But Chu Mo didn't understand why Wen Haoxuan suspected that he was doing it very cleanly?
Could it be...
After a while, Chu Mo came back to his senses and pretended to be surprised: "Assassinate the second-rank official of the court! Who is so brave?"
Looking at Chu Mo's reaction at this moment, Wen Haoxuan seemed to be more sure in his heart. This matter is probably unrelated to this kid.
This made Wen Haoxuan very helpless.
Since Chu Mo came to Kyoto, too many things have happened during this period. First, it was Shen Simiao, then Zhai Tianyao, and now it is Xi Xiangyu. These three people who seem to be inseparable from each other, but in fact they have one thing in common, they are all from the princelings!
Wen Haoxuan took a deep look at Chu Mo, but he didn't know how to speak.
He knew the resentment in Chu Mo's heart, but no matter how much he said Chu Mo was also his son-in-law. He just didn't want Chu Mo to live in hatred all the time.
"Okay, it's getting late. I'll take advantage of this time to go back to the Grand Master's Mansion first. Kyoto is not very peaceful recently. I don't care what you want to do, but you need to remember to be careful in everything! I don't want that girl in Qingyuan to be a widow at a young age."
Hearing Wen Haoxuan's words, Chu Mo nodded, then stood up and gave him a look.
After seeing Wen Haoxuan get on the carriage with his own eyes, Chu Mo turned around and returned to the mansion.
What Wen Haoxuan said before leaving was a bit intriguing, but Chu Mo knew that perhaps Wen Haoxuan already knew that so many things happened to the court recently had something to do with him.
Chu Mo was a little confused at this moment.
This cheap father-in-law seemed to know that he had too many things, but he was half-knowing about Wen Haoxuan, especially whether the incident back then had anything to do with him, which made Chu Mo feel extremely troubled.
Shaking his head, putting aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, Yu Zixuan, who Chu Mo found,
"Zixuan, the fire has been ignited, and it is time to inject some east wind into Ma Wen..."
