Bright Spring

Gao Xianning asked: "Who is your uncle?"

Xiao Wencai said: "His name is Xiao Jien..."

Gao Xianning saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he said: "Tell me more in detail. You have confessed|confessed so many things, now even if you conceal something, we can find out, it will be harmful and not beneficial to you!"

Xiao Wencai remained silent.

Gao Xianning waited calmly, he thought Xiao Wencai would continue talking.

Chapter 6 Xiao Jien

"Uncle (Xiao Ji'en) is not of the Xiao family's blood." Xiao Wencai, with all kinds of tricks, made the matter difficult.

Seeing his perplexed look, Gao Xianning felt that this matter might be a bit serious, so he hurriedly wrote a line, then picked up his pen and waited there.Both Zhang Sheng and Du Erlang were attracted to Xiao Wencai.Only Yao Fang was still thinking hard about something.

Xiao Wencai kept his mouth shut for a long time, and finally continued: "At that time, my grandfather married for several years without any heirs, and took a concubine, but still had no children. The Wang family and the Xiao family are family friends and friendship for several generations. At that time, the Wang family had an eldest son, so they Adopted the second son to the Xiao family, changed his surname, and named him Xiao Jien. Later, the grandfather gave birth to another son, who became my father."

Gao Xianning suddenly said: "So it turns out that Xiao Jien and Wang Gen are blood brothers. He is the brother of Wang Gen, the editor of the former Imperial Academy! When Wang Gen's family was ransacked, Xiao Jien should be filled with grief and indignation?"

Xiao Wencai said: "It should be so."

Gao Xianning said in a deep voice: "What else did Xiao Jien do before? Tell us the truth!"

Xiao Wencai said helplessly: "Uncle has always been in the capital, but I only came to Beijing during the Yongle period, so I don't know much about him. I was in the provincial examination when I was more than ten years old, and my family had high hopes for me. My father has some property in the capital. He asked me to go to Beijing to study hard behind closed doors, saying that I was young, and I must devote myself to striving for a Jinshi degree, and I will have a bright future in the future.

In the fifth year of Enke in Yongle, I took the general examination as a reference, but failed; so I waited for Enke next year and gave it another try.

During this period, the uncle always said that sooner or later, the affairs of the Wang family would implicate the Xiao family.My father and I were both worried, so I was a little distracted and couldn't concentrate on studying; but apart from going to see Mrs. Wang from time to time, I usually just study at the house. "

Gao Xianning asked: "Aren't you involved in other things?"

Xiao Wencai replied, "I probably didn't do anything else."

Gao Xianning pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Ms. Wang is hiding poison in her body, did you encourage|encourage her?"

Xiao Wencai looked embarrassed, and said: "It's all because of my uncle's instruction. The Wang family knows that the uncle is the blood of the Wang family, and also knows that the Xiao Wang family has a close relationship, and she is by the side of Yao Fang, the general of Jinyiwei; so the uncle told me , we must repeatedly reason with Wang Shixiao, and if things fail, tell her to end it early on her own, and don't implicate the Xiao family!"

Gao Xianning wrote furiously while raising his head and asked, "Why did the Wang family risk their lives? Did you promise her that you would avenge the Wang family?"

Xiao Wencai's complexion became more and more ugly. It was not the physical pain between his fingernails, but as if he had been subjected to some kind of moral torture. He shook his head and said, "There has never been such a promise. Ji Gang, the late emperor and former commander of Jinyiwei, is a person who cannot be shaken by ordinary people in the world. How can I take revenge? However, I did make an oath to her forever, and the winter thunder shook the river and drained it..."

Gao Xianning asked again: "Is Xiao Jien in the capital now?"

Xiao Wencai said: "After Mrs. Wang passed away, my uncle went back to Jiangxi. The uncle tried several times to persuade my father to go back to his hometown together, but next year there will be Enke, and my father did not agree, let alone give up the test. So the uncle himself Back home."

Gao Xianning said: "Xiao's ancestral home?"

Xiao Wencai shook his head and said, "Uncle used to be in the business of medicinal materials. He has a shop in the county seat of Jishui County, so it should be in the county seat."

Gao Xianning put away the confession, went up and untied Xiao Wencai's right arm, put the pen in Xiao Wencai's hand, and ordered: "Write your name, and then stamp your fingerprints."

After finishing the chores, Gao Xianning called Zhang Sheng and the other three to discuss outside the door.Zhang Sheng and Du Erlang followed immediately, only Yao Fang stood there in a daze.Gao Xianning took a look at Yao Fang, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and strode to the eaves.

Gao Xianning cut straight to the point and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jien, it is most likely 'Ma Gong'!"

Zhang Shengdao: "Could Xiao Ji'en be just one of his accomplices, and Ma Gong has someone else? We must be cautious and not let the culprit go away!"

Gao Xianning glanced at Zhang Sheng and said: "Commander Zhang's words are not completely unreasonable. But I still think Xiao Jien is 'Ma Gong'! To do such a big secret matter, you really need some capable comrades; but The matter is too serious, the less people know about it, the less likely it will be exposed! Since Xiao Jien is planning this matter, there is no need to find another mastermind. Therefore, even Xiao Jien's nephew, Xiao Wencai, does not know the most important plot, and it is very likely to be the truth .”

Zhang Sheng asked: "What does Mr. Gao Si mean, let's go to Jiangxi to arrest|arrest Xiao Ji'en immediately?"

"Yes. That's exactly what I mean!" Gao Xianning looked at the two of them.

Du Erlang clasped his fists and said, "Why don't you report to the Holy One first?"

Gao Xianning pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said: "If you can report to the emperor overnight, that's fine. Let's send people to the gate of the imperial city, first ask the guards to find the eunuch on duty inside, and then ask the eunuch to find the eunuch king Gui, then ask Wang Gui to enter the palace to play the report."

The Commander of Jin Yiwei and the Governor of Beizhen both agreed with this idea.

Gao Xianning said: "Let's split up! Commander Zhang took the confession and went to the imperial city; I and General Du continued to interrogate Xiao Wencai and asked him to tell the exact location of Xiao's shop and ancestral house."

The two warriors clasped their fists together and said, "Design!"

Du Erlang suddenly said again: "Let's send people eight hundred miles to Jiangxi to arrest people urgently. It's best not to let Xiao Jien get wind of it in advance. I think it's better to force Xiao Wen to write a letter first, falsely claiming that he met a classmate and was outside the city. Xu Jiu from the temple wrote a poem; send the letter back to Xiao’s residence in the capital, and stabilize the Xiao’s family for a while.”

Gao Xianning praised: "General Du has made a lot of progress!"

The three discussed it, Zhang Sheng took the confession and left first, Gao Xianning and Du Erlang walked back to the wing.At this time, Yao Fang had moved a stool, sat in front of Xiao Wencai, and was interrogating him.

Yao Fang asked useless questions.Yao Fang's voice was not loud, and his anger was not out of control. His expression was very strange, half smiling, half crying, but his face was very red.He asked, "Have you been there?"

Xiao Wencai's face twitched slightly and he said: "Before Wang and General Yao met, I made a private decision with her for life. What my uncle meant, uncle said that it is hardest for a woman to forget the first person who took her body..."

Yao Fang said sourly: "I haven't slept with her yet."

Xiao Wencai said in astonishment: "So she didn't lie? You...don't you live in the same courtyard?"

Yao Fang sighed: "She said that she didn't want me to think that she was ignorant of her innocence and self-respect, and promised me that as long as the name is righteous in the future, I can do whatever I want. Shu Dali, a virtuous and dignified woman, did not make things difficult for her. It is not easy for me, Yao Fang, to want a woman? What I want is to stay with her forever!"

The two fell silent.

Gao Xianning took the opportunity to step forward and said: "General Yao will ask later, let me ask him about business first."

Yao Fang said coldly: "Didn't Zhang Sheng go to the palace to ask for an order? I'm afraid it can't be done in an instant! Gao Siqing didn't get the approval from the Holy Majesty, and he didn't plan to arrest people right away. What are you in a hurry for?"

Gao Xianning was speechless.Yao Fang seemed to have heard what a few people were discussing outside the door just now.It seemed that Yao Fang was very calm, and what he said was quite logical.

Yao Fang asked Xiao Wencai again: "What have you guys done?"

Xiao Wencai looked embarrassed: "..."

"Say!" Yao Fang scolded coldly, her face full of pain and murderous look.

Xiao Wencai turned pale and said, "What...everything. I'm not married yet, and I've learned a lot from brothels occasionally, so I've done everything I can."

Yao Fang said: "Be careful! If you don't recruit, I will let you go through the punishment again!"

Xiao Wencai groaned helplessly for a while, and said in a low voice: "Sometimes when we meet, it's just between her two menstrual events, and she's afraid of getting pregnant, but she has the tongue and the way..."

"What?" Yao Fang was stunned.

Xiao Wencai said with fear on his face: "Why don't General Yao stop asking? In fact, Mrs. Wang is not willing to do some things, so I cried and complained. Her soft heart always helps."

Yao Fang took a deep breath and said, "Damn, you really have a way! Don't be afraid, I just want to know the truth, just tell me... Once she took a lot of medicine to suffer, probably at the end of last year, It is said that the body is out of tune, so what is going on?"

Xiao Wencai frowned and recalled for a while, then whispered: "We don't see each other every month, sometimes we don't see each other for a long time. That time it was a long time since I saw her, and it happened that she was menstruating. It's not easy to see people who are frightened and frightened. How can I return empty-handed? I cried and complained, and she couldn't bear it after a while, so..."

Yao Fang was trembling with anger, his fists were already clenched, he gasped and said angrily: "When she was menstruating, I didn't even let her touch the cold water, and I would do everything to her, I didn't expect you to treat her like this she!"
