The Golden Age Chapter 511: Silver Book
Qin Xiao thought about it for a while, then asked, "Master Song, do you know which nobleman Wei Bi has secretly interacted with in the DPRK?"
"Nobleman?" Song Shilian was startled, his brows squeezed together, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "Although Wei Bi and I are related to Uncle Lang, he works as a errand at Guanglu Temple. He rarely stays together, occasionally walks with each other, and talks about family affairs. However, his literary talent is not bad. In addition to his colleagues at Guanglu Temple, some of his close friends are also scholars. In addition, he likes to drink, and there are a few drinking buddies. Xin is said to have been in close contact with him. Wei Bi is only the fifth grade of Guanglu Temple, and Guanglu Temple is not a major yamen. He said that he had contact with nobles in the DPRK and he had never heard of it."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, and said: "According to Wei Cheng's account, Wei Bi once told him that the purpose of murdering his wife was to make Wei Jia's success."
"Let the Wei family stay on the ground?" Song Shilian said with disdain: "Without the Song family, Wei Bi is at best a knife and penman, even today's status is impossible. Qin, I will not hide it from you, if I were not there. With the connections and management of Kyoto, Wei Bi couldn't come to Kyoto at all. His errands at Koro-ji Temple in these years were only mediocre, and how can a Koro-ji Temple stand on the ground?” But he frowned quickly: “Take a step back and say. , He really has a chance to keep pace, what is his relationship with his murderous wife?"
"Wei Cheng probably didn't lie. I believe Wei Bi did say such things to him." Qin Xiao said sternly.
Song Shilian thought for a while before he said: "Maybe Wei Bi is just talking about Wei Chengxin."
"It is naturally possible." Qin Xiao nodded and said, "But as Mr. Song said, there is no connection between killing his wife and stepping into Qingyun on the surface. Why did Wei Bi give this reason to Wei Cheng? Although I'm not sure, I think this reason is true."
Song Shilian was puzzled, and obviously he didn't understand the connection for a while.
"Master Song knows that in the past two years, Wei Bi often stays out at night?" Qin Xiao asked, looking at Song Shilian.
Song Shilian was taken aback, and shook his head: "I have never heard of it. Sometimes I talk to girls and ask about their situation. The girls say that Wei Bi treats her very considerately. After all, this is their family affair, and I don’t There are too many questions." Doubtful: "How did Master Qin know that he often stayed away at night for the past two years?"
"I interrogated Wei Cheng alone." Qin Xiao said: "Wei Cheng is the housekeeper and knows Wei Bi's situation best. In the past two years, Wei Bi has often left Beijing for work, leaving suddenly, sometimes coming back. It’s also very sudden. Besides, it’s often said that Yamen is busy with official business and doesn’t come home at night. But I asked, if it wasn’t for foreign envoys to visit or encounter festivals, Guanglu Temple hasn’t been so busy at night. ."
Song Shilian's face suddenly became difficult to look, saying: "Many dignitaries in Kyoto like to go to the singing and dancing bands, but Wei Bi did not do so. His reputation in Kyoto has always been very good. No return at night...!"
"Wei Biye does not return home, since he is not going to the land of wind and moon, but where can he go?" Qin Xiao looked at Song Shilian and said, "Wei Bi claimed that Wei's family can walk on the sky, naturally because he knows that there are noble people to help. Who is this nobleman? Does he not come home at night, is it related to the nobleman?"
Song Shilian looked solemn, silent, and did not speak.
The crying in the room stopped between the two talking. Qin Xiao saw Qiuniang coming out, and immediately greeted him, and asked softly: "Sister Qiu Niang, madam, she...? "
"Sister Hui must have one
People are quiet. "Qiu Niang looked worried: "She suddenly knew the truth, she couldn't accept it for a while, but...she cried for a while, and it's already a little better, but this kind of thing will not allow Sister Hui to return to normal in a short time. , She felt grief in her heart, and it might take a while to relieve. "
Song Shilian also came forward and said: "Ms. Gu, thank you for taking care of me. Song is very grateful."
"Master Song is being polite." Qiuniang said hurriedly: "I only consider Sister Hui as my own sister. My younger sister takes care of her sister. That's part of my business."
Song Shilian said gratefully: "Well, from now on, you are my sister."
"Qiu Niang dare not."
Song Shilian said: "You look tired, you must have not rested in taking care of the girl these days. You should take a good rest first, and I will send someone to take care of the girl first." sighed: "This place in Kyoto, the girl is sure I don’t want to stay any longer, and when she gets better, I will arrange for someone to take her back to her hometown."
Qiu Niang thinks that if Madam Wei returns to her hometown, she doesn’t know when she will see each other again. She feels very sad, but she also knows Madam Yiwei’s current situation. Naturally, returning home is more conducive to her body and health. Spirit.
"Sister Qiuniang, Master Song is right, you should take a good rest first." Qin Xiao saw Qiuniang look tired, and felt pity in his heart.
In front of outsiders, Qiuniang really didn't dare to talk to Qin Xiao too much, she just said softly, "I'll make some porridge for Sister Hui." She glanced at Qin Xiao and turned away.
"My sister is in Kyoto, thanks to Lady Gu who often walks around." Song Shilian sighed: "I thought my sister had a good life, but now I want to come, but I am always alone...!" The voice stopped abruptly, as if thinking of something, his face became difficult to look.
Qin Xiao observed his words and thoughts, and wondered: "Song Master, what's the matter?"
Song Shilian turned to look at Qin Xiao, thought for a moment, and finally said: "Master Qin, I know who it is!"
"What?" Qin Xiao didn't understand for a while.
"Wei Bi is going to be on the same footing, he must have taken refuge in a noble person." Song Shilian looked very solemn: "He often does not come home at night. You guessed that he might have something to do with that noble person. I suddenly thought of someone!"
Under the curtain of night, the prison of Dali Temple is as silent as most places in Kyoto City.
The prison of Dali Temple is located in Xinghuafang, Kyoto. Not only the prison of Dali Temple is located here, but also the prison of the Ministry of Justice is also located here. After the case is closed, the prisoner will be sent to the prison of Xinghuafang to be imprisoned. .
Although the two prisons are in the same building, they are not close together, and they are of different sizes.
The Penal Department’s prison occupies a very large area and there are many prisons. Thousands of people can be imprisoned. The scale of Dali Temple is much smaller, and the entire prison can accommodate more than 200 prisoners.
In spite of this, the prison of the Ministry of Justice was once overcrowded. Although there have been no major cases in recent years, there are still many prisoners in it. On the contrary, the prisons of Dali Temple have been very empty for more than a decade. The cell can even be said to be deserted.
For this reason, the number of jailers in the prison of Dali Temple has been repeatedly reduced. At most, there are 30 or 40 jailers in charge of guarding, but now only half of them. Compared with the hundreds of jailers in the Penal Ministry, it is a world of difference.
In front of the prison gate of Dali Temple under the moonlight, the two guards on duty at night are a little listless, there is only one sentence.
One sentence to pass the long night.
Until a carriage approached the front door of the prison, the two guards discovered that the carriage was very ordinary. The two guards had already held the handle of the knife, and one of them shouted in a deep voice: "Who?"
The carriage stopped a few steps from the gate. The horseman who drove the carriage was wearing a hat and couldn’t see his appearance. After the carriage stopped, the carriageman immediately got up and lifted the driving curtain. A man in a black robe and a square hat The middle-aged man got out of the car, stood on the cowl and glanced at it, then got out of the car and walked straight to the gate.
The coachman didn't stand outside the main entrance, and drove the carriage aside to stop.
The two guards saw the black robe dressed in ordinary clothes, and they looked at each other, and one of them said solemnly: "This is the prison of Dali Temple, who are you? Go one step further, but you have to be polite to you."
The black-robed man took out a silver arrow from his sleeve, displayed it in front of the guard, and said lightly: "This is a silver book bestowed by the imperial court. The silver book is in your hand. It doesn't understand anything. Can you see clearly?"
Both guards were taken aback and fell to their knees together.
"Take the old man to the head of the cell." The black robe man put away the silver book, folded his hands on his chest, and his voice was unusually calm.
Two guards got up immediately, one went over to open the door, and the other led the black-robed man to the prison. In the courtyard, the guard bowed and said: "The old man wait a minute, the younger one will go to jail immediately. Head!"
The man in the black robe didn't speak, and he didn't comment. The guard hurried away. Just for a moment, he saw a man with disheveled clothes rushing over and looked very confused. He saw the man in the black robe, kneeling down. On the ground: "Chen Shun, head of the Dali Temple, sees the old man!"
"Wei Bi is locked here?" The black robe man asked lightly.
The cell boss Chen Shun hurriedly said: "Yes, I was escorted over early this morning. Dali Temple judged Wei Bi to be detained in prison, and he was put in prison, waiting for Qiuhou to ask for help."
"Take the old man to see him!" The black robe man ordered.
Chen Shun was taken aback, a little hesitant, the black robe man's tone was unhappy: "Why, let the old man take out the silver book for you to read?"
"Don't dare." Chen said hurriedly: "The younger one will take the old man over." He got up, raised his hand and made a gesture, and then quickly ran to the front to lead the way.
Although the prison of Dali Temple is larger than the prison of the Ministry of Justice, it is also a level of checkpoints, and it is not easy to enter the prison.
Fortunately, the head of the cell, Chen Shun, led the way, unimpeded all the way, until the cell in which Wei Bi was detained, the black-robed man stood in front of the cell door and saw Wei Bi sitting in the cell through the cell fence. On a simple wooden bed, with his back against the wall, he coughed gently.
Although Wei Bi was taken into custody, his clothes were neat and even his hair was neat and tidy, but his face was a little ugly, he heard the cough, turned his head, and saw the man in black, he was startled at first, and then he was surprised. , Almost climbed down from the wooden bed, rushed to the door of the prison, joyfully said: "Du...Mr. Du, why are you here?"
The black robe man said to Chen Shun: "You go down first."
Chen Shun hesitated, but finally did not dare to defy, arched his hands, and stepped back.
"The master asked me to come and take you away." The black-robed man looked at Wei Bi and said, "Master Wei, do you know you did something stupid!"
