A yuan loosened his hand.
"Ah yuan... What you said is true?!" Wu Ran's tone was urgent and surprised, but his voice was lowered.
Ah yuan's eyes were full of certainty: "yes, I'm sure."
"But..." Wu ran stared at him and wanted to believe it, but he didn't dare to believe it easily: "but you obviously went to see those bodies that day. Didn't you also make an assertion?"
He still remembers that day when ah yuan came out of the corpse room, he cried into tears. Tears rushed out and couldn't stop. A good ah yuan seemed to be about to cry into a flat——
"The villain was acting that day..." ah yuan blinked and asked, "others may not know. Did the fourth childe forget the villain's housekeeping skills?"
A yuan's housekeeping skills?
Wu ran was stunned for a moment and soon reacted - autopsy!
The second brother once told him that ah yuan's ancestral skill is the best work in Ningyang city
There was a trace of color in ah yuan's bright eyes.
The reason why he was able to determine the fact that Sui Shan was still alive was the clue he found from his corpse.
"Although those corpses are indeed quite similar to the princes, and their appearance is damaged and unidentifiable, the villain's heart is half cold at first sight, but after calming down and looking carefully, he still finds something wrong from the subtle points..."
Wu ran heard the hope rising in his heart, but he was afraid of failure and tried his best to press it. He asked along with ah yuan's words, "why didn't you explain such an important thing at that time?"
Now everyone has decided that grandfather, father, mother and second brother are gone!
In two days, the body will be buried!
"Fourth childe, do you think it's a coincidence that these bodies were brought back to the palace?" ah yuan didn't answer.
Wu ran thought and shook his head.
It's no coincidence that they are so similar and have their grandfather's personal belongings
It's not a coincidence. There must be someone behind it!
Who could it be?
Almost in a flash, Wu ran had the answer in his mind - it must be his grandfather and second brother!
Others have no reason or ability to fake the illusion that their grandfather is dead. If this is a play, they must have the cooperation of their grandfather and second brother, otherwise they can't play at all!
No, maybe there's another possibility
"Grandpa, will they be kidnapped on the way back to Ningyang and controlled in the dark?" Wu ran guessed, "that's why they got their personal belongings!"
"Now I'm not sure..." ah Yuan said, "but I can't think of a reason for this. If the prince and Shisun really fall into the hands of others, it's not more cost-effective for the other party to pledge with Wu's request? Why bother to design a fake death?"
Wu ran thought about it and felt that it didn't make much sense.
He just subconsciously thought that if all this was really his grandfather's own arrangement, it would certainly be better.
"You think it's the second brother's arrangement, so you didn't expose all this." Wu ran looked at ah yuan and said.
"Yes, although I don't know what the prince and Shisun are trying to do, I don't want to ruin the master's plan because of my own cleverness."
Intention
The boy's eyes were full of confusion.
Yes, if it's really the arrangement of my grandfather and my second brother, what's the purpose?
Do you want to deceive the court and achieve any purpose?
But if so, why should he hide it from him, his grandmother and his second and third uncles? Didn't grandpa worry that they would upset the original plan because they didn't know and couldn't cooperate?
Or did my grandfather and my second brother have other plans he couldn't guess
Wu ran thought a lot and guessed a lot.
But at this moment, these are not the most important. The most important thing is... He is not a child without a father, a mother and a second brother!
"Ah yuan..." there was obvious tension and careful temptation in the boy's eyes: "you really... Didn't lie to me?"
He can't stand the torture of getting back and losing again!
In the dark, ah yuan's eyes smiled: "even if you can't trust villains, you should trust your dead grandchildren."
Wu ran grinned silently when he heard that tears were falling down again - yes, he has always been the most trusted second brother!
"I knew..." the boy cried and smiled and said, "my second brother hasn't even married his daughter-in-law. How can he be willing to die so easily!"
What the fourth childe said is like he was willing to die when he married his daughter-in-law?
——That must be more reluctant!
Thinking about his childe's love for people and girls, ah yuan inferred very seriously.
"The villain chose to tell the fourth childe about this. It's because some people in the family may take the opportunity to be unfavorable to the fourth childe. I want you to distinguish and pay more attention and be wary. But for the sake of caution, you should not talk to anyone else..." ah Yuan said: "don't show too abnormal."
Just like the face with "I can again", it seems to be more happy than the new year. It's absolutely impossible!
"Don't worry, I understand!" Wu ran replied, "I will never drag my second brother back."
Hearing what he said, ah yuan was relieved.
Although the fourth childe is young, what he has learned and seen since childhood, his sense of propriety and understanding of the overall situation are engraved in his bones.
Otherwise, he dared not tell such a big secret to a child who was only nine years old.
When Shisun left Ningyang earlier, he told him that he must guard the fourth childe - to be exact, he would tell him this every time he went out.
"Here's a list of villains..." ah yuan took out a book from his arms: "all the people on it were Shisun before his death..." well, the performance was too immersed
Ah yuan tied his tongue and hurriedly changed his words: "they are all those who Shisun has always trusted. If the fourth childe doesn't trust the people around him or wants to do something privately, you can rest assured to send them."
Wu ran then said, "these are the people of the second brother?"
"Yes, there are clansmen and officials in the government." ah Yuan said, "don't worry, they will also be loyal to you, the fourth childe, since they are loyal to Shisun."
Just like him.
Wu ran nodded solemnly: "I will try my best to protect them."
Before the second brother comes back, he will guard everything of the second brother and the Wu family.
The boy took the booklet into his arms. When he stood up, he felt as if his body was filled with strength.
In recent days, after realizing and gradually accepting that no one will protect him from behind, he forced himself to hold on and grow up as soon as possible to stand more stable——
At this time, he suddenly learned that the family behind him had always been there. Although he was very happy, he never felt relaxed and relaxed. Looking at the rough road ahead, he felt more courageous.
Therefore, not only suffering can help people grow up, right?
For him, the peace of mind of his relatives is the foundation that can make him move forward firmly.
After Wu ran left Wu Tsung's house, he recovered his gloomy appearance.
Half the way back, I met the close boy I found.
When the boy saw him, he was slightly relieved and whispered, "it's too late. I really don't feel at ease. I came out to find..."
He first went to the Shizi courtyard. Without seeing the childe, he came directly to the direction of the Shisun courtyard.
Sure enough
The boy sighed in the bottom of his heart.
"I'm fine, just walk around at will." the boy's voice was slightly hoarse, obviously crying: "go back."
"Yes." the boy followed him quietly without daring to say anything more.
After Wu ran returned to the courtyard, he didn't stop immediately, but went to the study.
The boy wanted to persuade, but the boy who looked at his eyebrows and eyes was still young. He sat behind the book case and was in good shape. He seemed to have the appearance of holding up all his determination. He didn't talk much, but just came forward to study ink silently.
He doesn't understand anything and has a stupid mouth. Just stay with the childe quietly.
"After I went out, but someone entered the study?" Wu ran suddenly asked.
At his hand was an ebony box, which contained the weight of the whole Wu family - the owner's seal.
Recently, he has opened it every day for a long time.
Therefore, he saw at almost a glance that the seal had been moved
Although subtle, it was striking in his eyes.
"Return to the childe. About two quarters of an hour ago, the second master and the third master came. The villain was about to talk to the childe."
"Two uncles and three uncles?" Wu Ran's eyes moved.
Also, in addition to the second and third uncles, it is impossible for others to enter his study.
But the main seal of this house
"The second master and the third master came to see the young master. Seeing that the young master was away, they left these brochures one after another."
Otherwise, he could not know that the childe said it was a lie to go to the third master, and then he hurried out to find someone.
Wu ran followed the boy's line of sight and looked at several brochures on the book case.
The second and third uncles have been helping him with everything in the Xili family recently. They are very attentive.
"You just said you left successively... Didn't the second uncle and the third uncle leave together?"
"The second master left first, and the third master sat in the hall for a moment. Then someone came and seemed to have something to deal with. The third master left now." the young man replied carefully.
Wu ran looked at the big seal and was distracted for a moment.
That alone doesn't mean much.
Really speaking, the third uncle is also the legitimate son of the family and his elders, which can support the overall situation——
But this master seal was handed over to him by the third uncle in public.
Although the third uncle is quiet and unsmiling, he is not as free and easy as the second uncle, and is closer to the younger generation. However, the third uncle has blocked most of the thorny things for him recently.
The other half is to rely on the second uncle. In a short time, the second uncle gave him many reminders to keep him sober and sharp, and taught him many principles and means.
He knows that there are many dissidents in the family, but the last thing he should doubt seems to be the second and third uncles
"Childe... Is there something wrong?" seeing his look, the young man asked softly, "if childe doesn't like someone to step into the study, he will order it from tomorrow -"
Think about it. The childe will slowly start to take charge of major events, and the study will naturally become an important place.
"HMM." Wu ran nodded.
Immediately, he said, "but if the second and third uncles want to enter, they don't have to stop each other."
The boy smiled and answered.
The second master and the third master are really close to you.
However, he did not notice that the boy turned the owner's seal slightly in the box and stayed in a convenient position.
Then close the box.
Next time, he should not "remember wrong" again.
Wu ran lowered his eyes and looked at the pamphlets.
He said to his second uncle that day that his second uncle and third uncle were the most trustworthy people.
But the second brother once said that trust in this world is not unconditional, let alone blind.
The more people trust, once suspicious, it is no matter how subtle, it must be confirmed in time. No matter what the result is, whether it is confirmed or eliminated, it will at least be clear, without always having unwarranted suspicion and hurting others and yourself.
His hope is to eliminate.
He temporarily settled down to take care of the family affairs at hand.
If you don't understand, take a paper note so that you can consult your elders and people tomorrow.
In the interval when the boy stepped back to change tea, he just took out the register in his arms and looked at it page by page.
The names on it are familiar to him and completely unfamiliar to him.
However, each name is stamped with its identity and responsibility at a glance.
……
As soon as the funeral was ready, it was the funeral day.
At the funeral ceremony on that day, an imperial envoy stationed outside Ningyang sent a letter of condolence, which aroused the indignation of the ethnic group.
"The owner of the house was hurt by them, and they dared to come to the door and pretend!"
"The murderer came to mourn at this time... What's his intention!"
"The master of the house has a spirit in heaven. I swear to avenge this incompatibility!"
For a moment, the echo struck the ear.
The man standing on Wu Ran's side slightly lowered his eyes and hid the cold and violent color in him.
They are all a group of old people who don't know the current affairs
In that case, there is nothing to discuss.
It's still up to him to take the idea.
……
After the great funeral ceremony in Dingnan palace, it began to rain in Ningyang city.
The rain lasted for several days, and Ningyang city was aware of the cold in winter.
Wu ran sat in his study and looked at a secret letter. His fingers on the edge of the letter were slightly white because of too much force.
He didn't seem to be waiting to dispel that suspicion——
It was confirmed.
After burning the letter paper, he left the study.
At this time of the day, he went to discuss matters with his people.
Even if the bottom of my heart turns upside down, the more I can't show anything different.
In the council chamber, the voices of disagreement not only did not weaken because of the end of the funeral, but became more and more mixed.
Or really accept the fact that the owner of the house is dead, and now the selfishness hidden in these voices is becoming more and more undisguised.
Wu ran looked at the faces, listened to the many arguments in his ears, and gradually came up with an idea - or is this what his grandfather meant?
Now, it seems that an invisible big net has been spread around, which has enveloped everyone. True or false, all kinds of intentions. When the big net is put away and screened, there may be no hiding place.
Before a major event, be sure to really clean up the inside, strengthen your own defense, and eliminate internal problems before you can calmly go outside
He seems to have learned and experienced another lesson on his ninth birthday.
In this chaotic situation, few people still remember his birthday, that is, second uncle who has never left his birthday gift seems to have forgotten.
The second uncle has been busy recently. He knows this better than anyone.
