Riding the Pheonix Chapter 61: Intricate
Mingwei pointed at the skeleton: "Why don't we start with this skeleton."
Jiang Wenfeng was a little surprised: "Don't you talk about the third lady first?"
Mingwei shook his head: "My mother's matter is too complicated to talk about, so let's start with something simple."
Jiang Wenfeng said nothing, only frowned.
"Why, is there something difficult for you, sir?"
Jiang Wenfeng sighed: "I'm afraid this matter is not simple."
Mingwei looked at the bones on the table: "Is there something hidden about this corpse?"
Before Jiang Wenfeng could speak, she said: "Looking at the appearance of the bones, this person must have been dead for about ten years, right? And he was a man, quite tall..."
Her mind changed and she thought of one thing: "Is this the person you came to Dongning to find?"
Jiang Wenfeng was slightly surprised: "You..."
How does she know why they came to Dongning?
Mingwei revealed the truth first: "That day in Xinyuan, I bumped into Mr. Yang talking to Mr. Lei."
When Lei Hong heard her mentioning him, he was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Were you in the house at that time?"
Mingwei nodded.
"There was someone in the house, but I didn't notice it. Fortunately, it was Miss Seven, otherwise..."
Seeing him blaming himself, Mingwei smiled faintly: "I know how to hold my breath, so you are not derelict in your duty."
Lei Hong thought again: "No wonder the young master came to deliver a message for you, but was discovered by the young master later?"
Mingwei nodded: "Mr. Yang saw that I had uncovered this matter, so he detained me. Who knew that I would get the news the next day that something had changed in the Ming family..."
"My condolences, Miss Seven." Jiang Wenfeng comforted her.
Mingwei bowed and thanked: "I understand the importance, sir, don't worry."
Since the meeting, in this short period of time, Jiang Wenfeng's feelings towards her have changed again and again, and they are completely different from the beginning.
He originally thought that this was a very courageous little girl who was determined to avenge her mother. However, her performance in the mourning hall told him that she was not only courageous, but also very smart.
And she entered the room and said these words to him. Let him know that this girl is no ordinary person.
She can see ghosts.
Know how to control wandering spirits.
Know the magic weapon.
Can identify corpses.
He also knows how to hold back his breath.
"Seventh Miss," he summarized the information and asked, "Are you a Xuanshi?"
Mingwei replied: "You can say that."
She wasn't going to hide this.
For one thing, you can only participate if you show your ability. Secondly, she could trust Mr. Jiang.
Jiang Wenfeng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
He didn't quite believe in the theory that Xuannv collected her soul. However, judging from the fact that this seventh lady behaves openly, she probably has something to say if she doesn’t say anything.
He has no intention of asking about other people's secrets, as long as she has a good mind.
Lei Hong held back a sentence for a long time: "So that day, the seventh lady poked the snake with her chopsticks. Wasn't it an accident?"
Hearing this, Mingwei couldn't help but curl up his lips: "I'm not as strong as Mr. Lei in martial arts, I only know some trivial skills."
Lei Hong thought it was pretty good: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the seventh lady had dementia before."
He also realized that there might be something unspeakable about Mingwei's origin. Having said this, he stopped.
Mingwei brought back the topic: "Sir, I didn't expect that this corpse turned out to be the person you are looking for. It can be seen that we are destined to intersect. It happened to be buried in Mingjiayuan's house , must be inseparable from the Ming family. We have reached the same destination by different paths, so we must help each other."
Jiang Wenfeng smiled and said: "If you want to plead grievances for your mother, I will definitely seek justice for you. You don't need to do anything more."
But Mingwei wants to fight for more rights: "Sir, I can make the dead speak."
Jiang Wenfeng sighed and simply spoke more clearly: "Miss Qi, this matter is not as simple as you think. It is complicated and involves an old case of great importance. If you are involved in it, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future. What trouble will there be?"
Ming Wei looked disapproving.
Jiang Wenfeng had a good impression of her, and Wen Yan persuaded her again: "No matter what I find out about your mother's case, I will not hide it from you. Is this okay?"
Mingwei said, "Sir, it's not that I don't want to listen to advice, it's that the trouble you mentioned is not worth mentioning to me." She paused and then said, "The so-called ten years ago An old case, but the case of Liuyang County Prince's rebellion?"
As soon as these words came out, several eyes in the room turned towards her.
"How do you know?" Lei Hong asked.
This is admitted.
Ming Wei said: "Isn't it easy to guess? The censor went straight to Tianting, and Mr. Yang also came with the holy order. What bones are you looking for ten years ago? What kind of bones are you looking for for Prince Qidong? Be prepared. There may not be one case of this level in a few years. If it was limited to ten years ago, it would be easy to guess which one it was."
"..."
Actually, she took a shortcut.
For her, what was happening now was a piece of history recorded in books.
Considering that Prince Qidong was deprived of his title a few years later, it is easy to guess that their purpose of coming to Dongning is related to imperial power.
Jiang Wenfeng looked at her with very complicated eyes.
"Miss Seven is really smart..."
I guessed so much just from a sentence ten years ago.
Of course Mingwei would not tell the truth to him. The magician who travels around the world likes to pretend to be an expert~IndoMTL.com~so that he can win the trust of others.
She just saluted Jiang Wenfeng: "Sir, please let me do my best."
Jiang Wenfeng remained silent.
Mingwei said no more and quietly waited for his decision.
For a long time, Jiang Wenfeng asked: "Does Miss Seven have to participate?"
Mingwei nodded.
"What's the reason?"
Ming Wei said: "My mother's death is of great importance. As I expected, it involves the Ming family's secrets. And combined with this corpse, there must be some connection between the Ming family and the old case ten years ago. . Once this incident comes out, the reputation of our ancestors will no longer exist, and I am afraid that the Ming family will also be destroyed."
"Are you doing it for the clan?"
Mingwei shook his head slowly: "What I do for you is not the name, but the person."
"You..."
She said: "My uncle was unkind and forced my mother to death. But brothers and sisters are kind and friendly. If it is really involved in a major rebellion case, it is my uncle who committed the crime, but they are the ones implicated. I only hope that you can give me some help." This little girl has the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. When the crime is judged in the future, she can use her merits to compensate for the crime and spare the women and children."
Jiang Wenfeng looked complicated and silent.
Lei Hong next to him was moved and said: "Sir, we really lack a manpower for yin and yang, why not..." Then he looked at him eagerly.
Did Jiang Wenfeng not know that this subordinate was a good man? He smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't want to, but that this matter involves too much and I can't make a guarantee."
"Sir, please give me a chance." Mingwei begged, "If you don't do it, one day, I will have to watch my brothers and sisters suffer. As for whether I can take credit for my fault in the future, it depends on what happens above. I mean, I won’t force it on you.”
Jiang Wenfeng thought for a while and sighed: "Since the young master has let you back, he probably already has this intention. Forget it, if you can help, I will intercede on your behalf."
