Chapter 2807 Ning Ji Is Restrained【2】
Lu Baihu's knife turned and pointed at Xu Shou: "Did you really see it?"
Xu Shou was a bastard, and he didn't dare to lie when faced with the evil gods from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, so he nodded quickly: "Look, I saw it, it was indeed cousin Yan who led the people in to rescue dad and uncle. "
It was his second roommate who forced him to rush into the fire to save people, but he didn't say anything about it.
Lu Baihu was a man who had fought in the war and would not listen to anyone's words. He said: "I will ask General Wei Changling about this matter. I will also send capable people to investigate the fire scene. You Xu family better not lie. Otherwise, just one charge of arson in the capital will be enough for your whole family to be exiled!"
The whole family is exiled? !
The Xu family was so frightened that at this moment they understood what it meant to be both prosperous and devastated. Even if they thought there was something fishy about the fire, they didn't dare to say anything more.
"Dad, how is my dad? Please help him!" Xu Yun hid behind the maid and pointed at Mr. Xu who was lying on the ground.
The doctor of the Xu family shook his head: "To tell you the truth, the first and second masters were injured too seriously. I tried my best."
They were almost cooked, and even if the Great Luo Immortal came, they couldn't save them.
Xu Yun was angry: "What do you mean by trying your best? My father is your master. If the master is in trouble, how can you give up on saving him? Find a way to save my father quickly, he cannot die!"
She wanted Second Master Xu alive so that she could question him in detail, but did she really know General Wei Changling so that she could enter Prince Wei's palace and become a concubine?
Lu Baihu frowned when he heard this, feeling that the Xu family was really hopeless... Uncle Xu and Second Master Xu were almost cooked, and they were so painful that they couldn't even open their mouths to make a sound. He wanted to give them a knife and give them a good reward. , but it is too selfish for this Xu family girl to forcefully treat her.
However, Lu Baihu ignored the matter and only ordered people to put out the fire.
Before the fire was put out, Uncle Xu and Second Master Xu died.
"Dad, dad!"
The Xu family immediately burst into tears, but except for Xu Yan and Mrs. Xu, no one dared to touch their bodies, so they just cried from a distance.
After the fire was extinguished, Lu Baihu came over, said his condolences, and then said: "Carry them away quickly. The courtyard of the study must be sealed first. Only after the investigation proves that it is not arson, can we More people come in.”
Xu Yan cheered up, saluted Lu Baihu, and said, "Thank you, Lu Baihu."
Then he said: "I want to ask Lu Baihu to say something. I wonder if Lu Baihu can help?"
Lu Baihu: "What are you talking about?"
Xu Yan said: "My second uncle said that someone could introduce him to General Wei Changling and help Sister Yun become the concubine of Prince Wei, but this is obviously a trap. Although I don't know who he is, I want to tell him... If he is dissatisfied with Prince Wei and goes to fight with Prince Wei himself, the Xu family has been defeated and has no ability, so he will not use it as a knife to harm Prince Wei. If he refuses to let go of the Xu family, the Xu family can exterminate themselves in the capital. The Xu family cemetery in the suburbs!"
Killing the two elders only provided temporary stability. If he wanted the Xu family to completely break away from that old incident, he had to let the person who fanned the flames behind him know his determination, so that he would not dare to use the old incident as a raft.
"You think too highly of me. I'm just a small household, and I can't wade through such muddy waters." Lu Baihu did not agree, but said: "I will go to General Wei Changling and tell him what is going on here. If he If you are willing to come to Xu's house, you may be able to ask him to let him go."
"Thank you, Lu Baihu!" Xu Yan was very grateful. After thanking Lu Baihu, he called the Xu family, carried the bodies of Uncle Xu and Second Master Xu and left, leaving the study yard to Lu Baihu and the others.
However, the news that a fire broke out in the Xu family and Uncle Xu and Second Master Xu were burned to death spread quickly.
Everyone was shocked, and then asked: "What kind of evil has this Xu family done? How can they be punished one after another?"
"It's so miserable. I'm afraid it's not a crime, but an evil spirit that caused trouble... We must go around Xu's house in the future and don't get close to his house to avoid being entangled in bad luck!"
"Yes, yes, his family is so unlucky, we have to avoid it!"
Wei Changling already knew about this. Because the matter involved Wei Xiao, he made a special trip back to the city from the camp outside the city, went to the Xu family, and met with the eldest son Xu.
After the eldest son Xu cleared his servants, he closed the door and gave the two hidden letters to Wei Changling.
Wei Changling was shocked after seeing it and ordered Mr. Xu: "Watch your mouth and don't say a word, otherwise..."
Mr. Xu knelt down and said, "I understand. I know that my elders in the family are inferior to animals. I don't dare to ask for any wealth in this life. I only want the safety of my family."
In order to show that he was negotiating sincerely, he told the story about setting fire to kill Uncle Xu and Second Master Xu: "This is the excuse I gave Prince Wei. If the Xu family causes trouble, he can use this excuse to punish the Xu family at any time. "
Wei Changling was shocked again. This Xu Yan was really...but I have to say that Xu Yan was very smart.
Xu Yan added: "As for who hid the letter, Prince Wei has to check and solve it himself. I can't do anything. The only thing I know is that the letter was not written by my grandfather, and my grandfather's handwriting didn't look like this... so I know The Xu family is not the only one involved in the old matter, Prince Wei must resolve it as soon as possible."
Wei Changling knew that this matter was very difficult, so he said: "I know, I know, you have to restrain Xu's family, especially the people in the second room, so that they don't make any mistakes again... As for that sentence, I will help you get out." .”
This made that person afraid, and for a while he didn't dare to reveal the old news about Luo Fangfei's family.
Xu Yan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you so much, General!"
Wei Changling didn't stay long. After asking Ming that he was the only one in the Xu family who knew about this, he left and wrote to Wei Xiao to inform him of what happened here.
He let Xu Yan's words go out again.
Soon, the news spread throughout the capital, and even Wei Qi heard about it. He specially summoned Lu Baihu, Shen Jiu, and Yuan Zhi, two deputy envoys from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, to the palace to ask about it. .
Lu Baihu explained the matter in detail, and finally said: "Second Master Xu is dead. How he met that person and who he was, no one knows now. Mrs. Xu Er once asked Second Master Xu, but Second Master Xu didn't say anything, but beat her and locked her up."
After Wei Qi heard this, he scolded the man in his heart, and suspected that the use of the Xu family to make knives might have been done by his loyal ministers, because he was the person who most wanted to kill Wei Xiao in the world.
So he didn't dare to investigate the matter further.
Wei Qi looked at Shen Jiang and Yuan Zhi and said, "You strengthen the patrols in the capital and don't let anything happen to the capital again. And let the word go, whoever dares to use others to murder Prince Wei will be killed by all three of his clans!" "
You don’t need to investigate the matter in depth, but you still have to show your love for your nephew.
"Yes!" Shen Jiu and Yuan Zhi responded.
Yuan Zhi asked again: "Your Majesty, is it necessary to conduct a thorough investigation into the Xu family's affairs?"
No matter what the investigation is, what if it is found out that it was one of my henchmen who did it? !
Wei Qi said: "I will make a decision after discussing with your father and Mr. Wang. You can go down first."
He also explained: "In a few days, the queen will bring the family members of the heroes to Beijing. The capital should be safe and secure, and no trouble should be caused, so as not to scare the female family members."
Shen Jiong was smart and knew that he just didn't want to investigate further. After following Yuan Zhiying, he left the palace and returned to the Wucheng Army and Horses Division.
…
Ning Ji also knew what Xu Yan had said, and was so angry that he smashed the tea cup... You Xu Yan, you have such ability, I really underestimated you.
But he didn't expect that he would be defeated by Xu Yan this time after living two lives and being unparalleled in resourcefulness!
Ning Ji was very dissatisfied, but the matter had already become a big deal. Even Wei Qi and Wei Xiao knew about it. If he broke the news again or killed Xu Yan, with Wei Xiao's ability, he might be found. Then he would Totally exposed.
