Chapter 183 Xiao Zhian Meets Shi Yu
Xiao Zhian came to look for Wei Qingyan yesterday, but came back empty-handed.
Today, I heard that Wei Qingyan was back, so I hurried to his house.
After being away from home for so long, he finally found some new clues. He was so happy that he couldn't wait to share them with Wei Qingyan and also needed her explanation.
Wei Qingyan also laughed and said, "What clue?"
"Dajue Temple, that man in black appeared in Dajue Temple."
Xiao Zhian said excitedly, "My people found out that twenty-three years ago, he met a man dressed as a scholar at Dajue Temple.
The two men had a conflict and started fighting. The scholar was at a disadvantage and the man in black pointed a sword at his neck. But the scholar whispered something and the man in black put away his sword and rushed away.
The man in black should be a secret guard or assassin. It will not be easy to investigate him. I thought starting with the scholar might be easier.
It is said that the scholar was about 27 or 28 years old at that time, and is now in his 50s. The man in black calls him Master Wu.
Wei Qingyan nodded.
This is indeed a clue.
His surname is Wu and he is a scholar who is good at martial arts.
"What are the characteristics of a scholar?"
Xiao Zhian grinned, "She's also very good-looking."
Wei Qingyan held his forehead.
It is impossible to search all the scholars in the capital one by one, not to mention that those scholars may not be from the capital.
But she also understood that after such a long time, Xiao Zhian was able to find these things, probably because he had to use the method of looking for a needle in a haystack, searching inch by inch.
Unable to bear the thought of dampening his enthusiasm, Wei Qingyan asked, "Where is the person who witnessed their meeting?"
The fact that he knew so much detail showed that there was a third person present at the time, and that person was found by Xiao Zhian.
But Xiao Zhian said that the man in black was very skilled, and he and the scholar were meeting in secret, so how could he allow a third person to be present?
Unless that person is good at hiding his aura, or his martial arts skills are better than those of the man in black and the scholar.
But if he really had such skills, how could he not hear what the scholar said to the man in black?
"Let me invite him over." Xiao Zhian's follower said immediately.
Wei Qingyan's eyes moved slightly, he meant please.
Moreover, he left immediately after he finished speaking. It didn't seem like he was asking for instructions, but more like he was informing Xiao Zhian.
Wei Qingyan looked at Xiao Zhian inconspicuously and saw that he did not look unhappy at all, as if he was used to the attitude of a follower.
Thinking about how he had previously entrusted the prince's jade pendant to an attendant for safekeeping, Wei Qingyan became more and more certain that this attendant was not a real attendant.
Recalling what Shi Yu had told her about Feng Zhao's situation a few days ago, Wei Qingyan understood.
But the other party concealed his identity to protect Xiao Zhian, so she had no intention of investigating further.
He took out the map he had drawn in advance and handed it to Xiao Zhian, "The Second Prince has come all the way from Fengzhao and must have visited many places.
It just so happens that I would like to ask the Second Prince to help me take a look and see if you recognize this flower."
"Miss Chang, you don't have to be so polite. You are older than me, so just call me by my name."
Xiao Zhian brought the drawing closer, took a look at it, and said with a smile, "This is a woodruff flower."
Wei Qingyan calmed down slightly and asked, "Then do you know where most of these flowers grow?"
"This kind of flower is everywhere in Fengzhao. Many people like to plant it in the corners of their walls. When it grows up, it spreads along the top of the wall. When it blooms, from a distance, the whole wall looks like it's covered with paintings. It's very beautiful."
Yes.
Wei Qingyan cried out in his heart, this is the scene in Shen Changshan’s resentment picture, the whole wall is covered with yellow flowers, and the mood is bright just by looking at it.
But before she could be happy, she heard Xiao Zhian say, "You also have this flower in the north."
There are also some in the north, which means that we cannot conclude that the person in the coffin, Shen Changshan, is Feng Zhaoren based on this flower.
But it also cannot be denied that he is not.
"If Miss Chang is looking for this flower, I can send a letter and ask the envoy to bring some over."
Xiao Zhian asked.
But I knew in my heart that there must be a reason why Wei Qingyan suddenly asked about the flower.
He now needs the help of the Great Wei. The Emperor of the Great Wei asked Wei Qingyan to cooperate with him in finding someone. He also hopes to help Wei Qingyan so that Wei Qingyan will pay more attention to his affairs.
Since the flower was not unique to Fengzhao, Wei Qingyan wanted to know if there were any young men in the Fengzhao royal family who had left home, but he hadn't figured out how to start the conversation.
Shi Yu came.
There was no need for Wei Qingyan to introduce him. Xiao Zhian knew who Shi Yu was just by looking at his silver hair.
He had previously wanted to meet with the Emperor of Wei through Shi Yu, so he had naturally inquired about Shi Yu.
As members of the royal family, their status is no lower than anyone else's, but Shi Yu is Wei Qingyan's fiancé, and Wei Qingyan is Xiao Zhian's savior.
Therefore, Xiao Zhian took the lead in greeting Yu.
Shi Yu returned the gift.
He understood that Wei Qingyan's reason for asking him to go see Xiao Zhian together was to let Xiao Zhian see what he looked like.
The two had originally agreed that after returning to the city, they would go back to their respective homes to wash up and then go together to find Xiao Zhian.
Upon learning that Xiao Zhian had followed Wei Qingyan into the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, he had no choice but to quickly wash up and come over.
As soon as he heard Xiao Zhian talking about flowers, he knew that Wei Qingyan had shown Xiao Zhian the picture he drew last night.
Not knowing what the outcome would be, he looked at Wei Qingyan.
Seeing Wei Qingyan shaking his head slightly, Shi Yu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Second Prince. I have sent someone to look for that flower.
Xiao Yan heard a story about a young man from a royal family who eloped with his beloved. The young man knew that he would never be able to return to his hometown, so he picked a flower from his hometown and carried it with him to ease his homesickness.
Now, the young man has passed away and was never able to return home. Xiao Yan, out of pity, wants to find this flower for him. This king will certainly satisfy her.”
He always paid attention to Xiao Zhian's expression.
When Xiao Zhian first saw him, he was slightly stunned, but soon returned to normal. After hearing these words, he was even more calm.
Shi Yu understood that Xiao Zhian was stunned just now, it was simply because of his outstanding appearance, which was the reaction of many people when they saw him.
Rather than being shocked or excited about who he looks like.
As for the story of the royal boy eloping, Xiao Zhian had no reaction at all.
Or, they were wrong, Shen Changshan was not from Feng Zhao.
Or, Xiao Zhian was young and had no idea what happened back then.
Xiao Zhian was indeed surprised by Shi Yu's appearance. He always thought that his father, the emperor, and his mother were the most beautiful people in the world. He didn't expect that Prince Rong of Wei could be comparable to them.
Or rather, better.
He also smiled and said, "Miss Chang is kind-hearted, and Prince Rong is righteous. Zhi'an is moved. If there is anything you need from Zhi'an, please feel free to ask."
Wei Qingyan's purpose was not to get the flowers, so he changed the subject after a few polite words.
But he was thinking about going to Ping An Escort Agency to look for clues later.
After a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xiao Zhian's follower came with an old man with gray hair and wearing a monk's robe.
The old man was holding a wine gourd in his hand, and his beard was wet. Even before people got close, they could smell a strong smell of alcohol.
The attendant entered the room and first glanced at Shi Yu, then bowed and said to Wei Qingyan, "This senior worked in the kitchen of Dajue Temple twenty-three years ago. On the day the man in black and the scholar met, he happened to be collecting firewood in the back mountain."
"I say, you kids are really troublesome. It's just a small matter. I have said everything I need to say. Why do you make me run all over again?"
The old monk was a little impatient and took a sip of wine.
Wei Qingyan suddenly thought of the fat monk.
The old man in front of me is a monk who is practicing with his hair uncut, while the fat monk is a real monk who has taken the vows, but he also loves wine.
On some matters, everything can be discussed as long as the fat monk has wine.
She smiled at the old man and said, "Thank you for the trip. I'll have someone bring you ten jars of red yeast rice Prajna soup later."
Prajna soup is a different name for wine given by monks like the fat monk who love wine.
The old monk understood immediately and blinked, "Is it really red yeast rice?"
That was tribute wine from the vassal state, and he hadn't drunk it for many years.
Wei Qingyan laughed, "Really? A woman's word is as good as hers."
"Hey, how come I didn't realize you were so generous before? If I had known you were so generous, I should have gotten to know you earlier."
Wei Qingyan, "Have you seen me?"
