420 Resid 2

"I don't think it's necessary to tell my wife, but think about it, I'm afraid that my wife won't see the coffin and cry, so it's better to explain it." Xie Wan spoke softly, scooped tea to moisten his throat, and said, "The Yuanqing Zen master of Donghua Temple came to me a few days ago and said that there were clues about the magnolia tree we were looking for before.

"After some investigation, we found two cut-off magnolia in the same yard as the oil tea hut, which is the only fish that leaks the net in the whole capital, and I don't need to tell you about the origin of these two trees.

"After that, my people found a few things in the yard, one was the neglected peace charm posted on the cupboard, and the other was that when the two trees were removed back to Donghua Temple the day before yesterday, they found a skeleton buried in the ground.

"This bone has been buried for twelve or three years. Judging from the clothes and burials that have not yet decomposed on his body, it seems that it is the orphan girl that Fourth Master Dou favored in Donghua Temple. There is also a jade pendant hanging on the neck of the bone, which is engraved with the word "lan" in the seal book. This word is exactly the same as the seal we found in the canal. I guess this 'Alan' should be the name of this orphan girl.

With that, she took a small wooden box from Xia Zhi's hand, opened it and pushed it to Mrs. Dou.

The jade in

is still green, and the word Lan is even more clear and debateable.

Mrs. Dou's face was white. Looking at the jade for a long time, she suddenly stood up and walked out in a hurry: "Please, master--"

Liao Zhuo and Qin Fang held the door left and right, and a forceful atmosphere came from afar from the distance to the cold blade.

"It's too late, Mrs. Dou." Xie Wan sat in place and drank tea leisurely. "Dou Ge is always in the back garden, and there is also our prince there."

Mrs. Dou suddenly turned around, and the steps on the bun slapped on her forehead, against her pale face and open eyes, as if she had seen a ghost.

"When did you find out?" She suppressed her trembling and asked.

"If you want to say doubt, it was there a long time ago." Xie Wan said, "That's what happened to your marriage with Yin Yao. That thing was indeed done seamlessly, so that I couldn't think of any flaw, but it was because it was too coincidental and smooth, which always made me feel that something was wrong. Later, I met you on the way, and you were completely different in a few days, which also made me suspicious.

"I secretly sent someone around Dou's house to inquire to see if Dou Xun had appeared in the house recently, but it turned out to be nothing."

"At that time, in fact, I hadn't officially thought about the relationship between the Dou family and Mr. Qi. Even if you have a fourth master Dou, who is also a scribe, even if the cause of Mr. Dou's death is unknown, but because we are too familiar with him, I don't believe that Dou Jin will do it without I trust him too much. So I didn't check it at this time.

"Until Sun Shiqian told me that Dou Xun and you were not biological brothers.

"Although it doesn't look like a biological brother, it's a little far-fetched to take revenge in this way. But since he is not his own brother, it shows that there is a story here. I began to be suspicious. I originally planned to go to the house to explore the truth, but later I was disturbed by the affairs in the palace, so I couldn't make it. Until the night I chased Mr. Seven, I decided to take a risk and try it boldly.

"The result, try to show a little more.

"When Qin Fang was ordered to search several officials, including Doufu, Mr. Qi suddenly took the initiative to appear. He scratched his face, naturally to hide his identity, and when he appeared, there was naturally no need to investigate from door to door. All of this can't allow me to think too much about it. So, a few days ago, I asked someone to go south to Guangxi to check whether it was true or not.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Dou and ate an apricot on the table. Guess what they found?"

Mrs. Dou stood in the middle of the room. Although the silver charcoal in the copper cage in the room was burning vigorously, constantly delivering heat everywhere, her body was trembling.

She never thought that Xie Wan would come to reveal their background today. She waited not for them to reveal her background, but the news from the northwest. It was the moment when Dou Jin successfully entered the imperial city!

Xie Wan in front of her was confident and calm, just like sitting in her own small flower hall of Anmu's mansion, and her master was surrounded and blocked in the room by her people.

"How did you know our address in Guangxi? The Dou family has been out for several generations, and the people of their ancestral home have also moved several times. How do you know?

She swallowed her saliva and asked.

"They really moved in the past ten years, right?" Xie Wan looked at her, "You underestimate the strength of the people in our palace. Because of your deliberate persecution, our prince can escape under the emperor's eyes, have been exiled for nearly two years, and be able to solve the big case of Caoyun and corruption. These are not on luck. Look at them--"

She pointed to Liao Zhuo and Qin Fang standing outside the door: "There are twelve of them. Each of them is proficient in at least one stunt in addition to basic martial arts and adaptability. Some are good at hidden weapons, some are good at firearms, some are good at poisons, and some are good at disguise. There are so many people around me. What's the length of time?"

Liao Zhuo raised his lips and looked at Mrs. Dou.

Mrs. Dou finally fell on the brocade and looked at Xie Wan in a daunt. What did they find out?"

Xie Wan lowered his eyes and threw the apricot in his hand back to the plate, wiped his hand with silk, and asked, "Tell me first, what is the relationship between Dou Xun and Dou Jin?"

Mrs. Dou squeezed her lips and stared at the Persian velvet blanket under her feet.

In the back garden lake, the family members have stopped chiseling ice. In the morning, several ice holes of different sizes have been cut out of the lake. The residual ice floats on the water or piled up on the ice surface, mixed with some messy footprints, which looks a little dirty.

The tea in the water house is fragrant, and there is no tension in the main courtyard at all.

Dou Jin smiled and said, "In previous years, I often heard people mention the prince's excellent literature and martial arts. Today, I opened my eyes. I think that my Dou family was also born with the Taizu Emperor's martial arts. Later, these two generations gradually developed on the road to the imperial examination. When I was a child, I also read all Take off the door and play with the axe.

"The old man is overreputed." Yin Yu was still leisurely and complaidious, "I'm just talking about soldiers on paper. In terms of practical tactics, how can I compare with you from a family?"

Dou Jin said, "The prince is modest." I serpt seven cents of tea for him.

Yin Yu glanced at the snowy scenery outside the window and said, "I remember that the Duke of Protector once told me that the Dou family also lived in the Qingping Square where the Huo family was located, but since I can remember, you have lived here and moved here for many years, right?"

Dou Jin's hand holding the pot paused slightly and raised his head.

Xie Wan stared at the red plum tree outside the window for a day, withdrew his eyes and said, "Do you think Dou Xun is Dou Zhun's nephew?"

This is simply inconceivable.

Dou Jin only has two younger brothers. Sun Shiqian said that the third brother died in his teens, and the second brother Dou Fang is now in the northwest. Whose son is Dou Xun? - No, it's impossible. Dou Xun is almost thirty years old. Dou Jin is the boss of the Dou family. He is also over forty-three this year. He doesn't even have such a big son. How can Dou Fang have it?

Ten thousand steps back, if it's really a nephew, then why do you ignore the generation and hide your life?

"Don't you have so many capable people? What's the matter? Didn't you find out about this?"

Mrs. Dou said slowly with a slight embarrassment. Then, she sighed again and said, "However, no matter how powerful you are in this matter, if we don't say it, you still can't find out."

Xie Wan stared at her.

She suddenly smiled and said, "Our old master still had a wife. Have you ever heard of it?

Sun Shiqian said that Dou Zhun had two wives one after another. The match did not come out and died early. Later, he married the later old lady.

yuan pei?

Xie Wan's heart moved, is it--

"You are so smart that you seem to have guessed it." Mrs. Dou smiled indifferently at the corners of her lips, looked at her, and then looked ahead: "The old lady's surname is Xu, and now she is more than 60 years old. You should have heard of the Xu family in Huizhou. She is from the Xu family in Huizhou.

Xie Wan knew that the Xu family in Huizhou was still a matter of his previous life. Xie Lang first entered officialdom in his previous life, and his immediate boss was Xu Zhengqiu, the side branch of the Xu family. The Xu family originally made a family by opening a pen and ink shop. Some people in the family have always been officials. After several generations, they have a wide range of official careers, and their official positions have become high, and they have gradually become quite famous.

However, although some people in the Xu family are officials in the capital, there are fewer officials in these generations.

"Are you wondering why there are few officials of the Xu family in these generations?" Mrs. Dou seemed to be able to see through her mind, which can be mentioned.

"Why?" Xie Wan looked at her and said, "Does this have anything to do with Dou Xun's birth?" Her intuition is relevant, but for a moment, she really can't get in touch quickly.

"Of course it matters." Mrs. Dou's voice whispered slightly, "Because Mrs. Xu was the aunt of the Xu family in those years, and the Xu family withdrew from the capital, which also had a lot to do with Mrs. Xu's marriage with our old master. Dou Xun is the son of Mrs. Xu, the son of Dou Chen, the real master of our Dou family!"

Xie Wan was stunned there.

Du Zhun's match gave birth to a son? Why doesn't even Sun Shiqian know that so many people in the capital don't know? Also, if Dou Xun is the son of the eldest master of the Dou family and the eldest grandson of Dou Zhun, why should he pretend to be an adopted son?

"What's the inside story here?" She asked.

Mrs. Dou looked at her and smiled, "Do you want to know? There is indeed a big secret hidden here. However, you came to have a showdown with us today. I don't say it's all dead, so why did you tell you?

Xie Wan's eyebrows suddenly condensed, "If you don't say it, can't I ask the Xu family?"

"It's useless for you to ask." Mrs. Dou looked at her with burning eyes, "Because as long as the Yin family is still sitting on this throne, the Xu family will not tell the secret even if they bite their tongues."

Xie Wan's lips tightened in an instant. R1152
