Chapter 30 - mystery
At this time, in Prince Mo’s Mansion, Xu Wenlan was sitting on the round stone bench in the courtyard with his eyes closed, shaking his head and singing the well-known city song in the capital.
“Xu Wenlan.”
Xiao Mubai sat on a chair three feet away from him and read by candlelight.
“Uh?”
Xu Wenlan opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Mubai. Seeing him wearing a black robe, the moonlight shrouded his body, the light of the candle twitched occasionally, and the shadow hit between his astonished eyebrows.
“Can’t you hear the sound of water when you shake it?” Xiao Mubai frowned slightly and asked coldly.
“The sound of water? What is the sound of water? Where is the sound of water?” Xu Wenlan looked around, looking around, puzzled.
“The water in your head.” Xiao Mubai replied slightly with disgust.
“Huh?” Xu Wenlan chewed on the meaning and reacted after a while. He jumped up and pointed at him and said, “Xiao Mubai! You! Swear! People!”
Xiao Mubai finally raised his eyes to look at him, with sarcasm in his eyes: “The reaction is quite fast.”
“It’s boring to be friends with you.” Xu Wenlan muttered.
Xiao Mubai glanced at the courtyard gate and motioned for him to walk slowly.
Xu Wenlan twisted her neck and said sternly, “I’m your brother, how can I care about you like that?”
Xiao Mubai put down the book and teased, “So you are still the illegitimate son of your father? Call brother to listen?”
“Ah bah.” Xu Wenlan spat at him and said, “You know I didn’t mean that.”
Xiao Mubai looked at him and did not speak.
Seeing his tepid appearance, Xu Wenlan was discouraged and changed the subject.
“Today in the capital, there are two scenes inside and outside the palace.”
“All the officials in the palace are on Du Hanfei’s side, and the people outside the palace are all on Lu Mingxi’s side.” Xiao Mubai finally became a man, and did not let Xu Wenlan’s words fall to the ground.
Xu Wenlan was moved, they could finally communicate normally, and then asked, “What do you think of the song I sang just now?”
Xiao Mubai rested his forehead and said after a while, “The words are a bit rough, but fortunately they are easy to understand and easy to pass on by word of mouth.”
“Have you found out who’s behind the scenes?”
Xiao Mubai frowned and shook his head.
“Is there a choice in your heart?”
Xiao Mubai filtered some people in his mind and thought it was impossible.
After Han Sa came back last night, he reported that the person who sued Zhu Chenlin was the famous Anfeng **** bureau in Jiangzhou.
After coming to the capital, he has been staying at the Angui Inn, and he will go to the prison every three weeks and five meetings to make Lu Mingxi’s life a little easier. He usually has nothing to do with others, the only thing is that he has been to Wentian Pavilion and met Master Bingwen.
Then, this Young Master Bingwen rejected him and started business with Qiu Zhiting.
Come to think of it, this Young Master Bingwen suddenly appeared in the capital a few years ago. Inexplicably, rumors abounded in the capital. He once sent someone to investigate carefully, but found that this person had no origin, not even the record of entry and exit from the city gate.
Prince Bingwen seemed to have descended from the sky, and the moment he descended, it was already a legend. The people of the capital all respect him as a son, thinking that there is no news that he does not know, only the money you can’t afford. Or, is he willing to tell you or not.
Xiao Mubai also has news that he wants to know. Therefore, he personally went to see this son Bingwen. Although his hopes were not high, Bingwen Gongzi’s final reply disappointed him.
It’s like you’ve been in darkness and have lost your desire for light. Suddenly a voice appeared and told you that you might see the light. You are anxious, yet hopeful. But in the end he told you that unfortunately, you can only stay in the dark feeling of loss forever.
“Mubai. Mubai! Xiao Mubai?”
Xu Wenlan’s loud shouts sounded in his ears, Xiao Mubai closed his eyes, resisting the urge to slap him to death with a palm.
“I can hear.”
“You are obviously in a daze, I just called a lot.” Xu Wenlan asked curiously after a moment of grievance: “Who did you think of?”
“Master Bingwen.”
“Ah, the one in Wentian Pavilion, the recently famous Young Master Bingwen?” Xu Wenlan looked like I knew that person.
Xiao Mubai nodded.
“He must have something to do with Lu Mingxi’s case. However, there are people behind him.”
“And… people? Who else?”
“I checked Mr. Bingwen’s information. He suddenly appeared in the capital a year ago. He later bought a house and lived alone. Slowly, he bought a few servants to serve him. Those servants are ordinary people. , the details are clean. If the person behind the scenes is the son of Bingwen. Then how did he achieve it overnight, the whole city knows it, and the song is spread by word of mouth?”
Xu Wenlan nodded frequently and asked again, “What about the people behind him?”
“How do I know.” Xiao Mubai looked at him as a fool.
“Oh, no. How can there be something you can’t find out? Why don’t I believe it.” Xu Wenlan firmly conveyed her affirmation of Xiao Mubai’s ability.
Xiao Mubai frowned.
“Don’t talk about the person behind the scenes, there is no trace of his origins.”
“So strange? What about where he lives, Wentian Pavilion? Have you checked all of them?”
“The place where I live is a normal courtyard house. As for Wentian Pavilion, it used to be an old shop, but it was rented out by Xiaohou’s attendant and changed its name. The second floor is also sublet to Bing Bing. Young Master Wen’s, they didn’t know each other before.”
“Little Marquis? Could the person behind the scenes be Little Marquis?”
Xiao Mubai snorted coldly and asked, “How old is the little prince this year?”
“Thirteen. No, it’s fourteen after the new year.” Xu Wenlan replied seriously.
“He has been weak since he was a child. He spent thirteen years in the mountains and returned to Beijing for less than two months. Can you have some brains?” Xiao Mubai scolded Xu Wenlan for a while, but Xia Chu’s face became more and more clear on his face. in mind.
The little prince of Xiahou Mansion has only been down the mountain for two months, why does he hate Xiao Yanjun, why does he favor Xiao Zimu, and why does he love Xiao Muhong so much. Xiao Mubai felt that Xia Chu was also a mystery, and like Bingwen, it was a mystery that could not be solved for the time being. Could such two mysteries be intertwined? Impossible, he rejected the idea. He even thought that he was as absurd as Xu Wenlan.
Xu Wenlan was reprimanded for a while, and patted his head, feeling that he still had something in it.
“Aren’t you curious?” Xu Wenlan wanted to encourage him to continue the investigation.
“Curious. So, go and find out for me.” Xiao Mubai patted his shoulder.
“Hmph. If you look down on anyone, just check.” Xu Wenlan was not to be outdone.
Xiao Mubai gave him a perfunctory look you could.
Xu Wenlan’s neck turned, and he walked away arrogantly…
