Wei Xiaotian nodded carefully: "Don't worry, dad, I know, I will find out."
Wei Xiaotian thought of General Qi, and said, "Dad, I will go with you tonight."
Old General Qi really doesn't know how to take care of people's moods. His father is not in good health. If he gets angry after he goes there, it will be difficult to solve it.
"Well, you can tell the people below to check it out first, and you can go check it out with me tonight."
Wei Guangrong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He was ill and didn't have much energy at the moment. It was not appropriate for him to go alone in such a hurry. His son Wei Xiaotian was safe in doing things, and it would be safer to have him with him.
Wei Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved before going down to make arrangements.
This matter really needs to be investigated thoroughly.
As early as half a year ago, they had found out the news about the eldest prince Zhou Heng. After many twists and turns, they finally arranged for someone to get close to Zhou Heng and confirmed his identity. When they were about to take the person back to the capital, a wave of
A wave of assassinations came.
On the way back to the capital, they sent out countless excellent secret guards, but they failed to bring Zhou Heng back safely. Zhou Heng eventually died on the way back to the capital. His body was returned half a month ago.
After hearing the news, his father Wei Guangrong became frightened and fell down crying while holding the coffin. The Queen knew this news, and it was also a serious illness. She was grieving endlessly. She has not been able to see anyone in the recent period.
people.
Zhou Heng's body has been buried secretly, and now Zhou Heng suddenly comes out. He says that he is the real Zhou Heng. How can this not make people suspicious?
When Zhou Heng returned to Beijing, he was chased and killed all the way. In the end, he died in an assassination. In order to protect him, how many secret guards were involved? But as for Zhou Heng, he was said to be a scholar. For reference, the journey to Beijing was uneventful and his life was peaceful.
It was calm there too, which didn't make sense at all.
It's so strange that Zhou Heng has a relationship with the old general Qi. This old general has a stubborn temper and won't give any room for negotiation. If he is not solved well, this matter will be brought before the queen, which is difficult to think about.
Wei Xiaotian pondered and summoned the secret guards and gave the order. The time was too tight and it was impossible to investigate thoroughly in just a few days. But if he could investigate some, he had to guard against the second prince's spy.
After everything was arranged, Wei Xiaocai felt a little more at ease.
Thinking about Wei Guangrong's health, he called the housekeeper and ordered him to add ginseng when boiling the medicine, and prepare Qi-Living Life-saving Pills, all of which would be used at night.
He had a hunch that things would not be peaceful at all that night.
——
When General Qi returned home, he told Zhou Heng that the Wei family would come to see him in person in the evening, which reassured him.
Anyway, we can make it clear when we meet tonight.
Zhou Heng nodded. He thanked General Qi for helping him. Without General Qi, it would not have been so easy for him to meet his grandfather's family.
The next step is to wait.
At noon, Zhou Heng went back to his room to take a nap and saw a note pressed on the table.
He was stunned for a moment, looked around subconsciously, then closed the door and walked to the table, picked up the note and unfolded it to check.
Looking at the words left on the note, his expression became serious.
Brother, how are you doing? I'm waiting for you at Pingjiang Tower to see you. Sincerely.
The note was written by Zhou Zhi and contained only this sentence.
Zhou Heng crumpled the note into a ball in his hand. This sentence made him understand that all his actions were under Zhou Zhi's control, and Zhou Zhi knew everything he did.
Why does Zhou Zhi want to see him at this time?
Zhou Heng couldn't understand, but if he didn't go, he might put the Su family in danger. This matter had nothing to do with them at all. Whether he wanted to or not, he had to go and see this.
He had to go while he was taking a nap. The fact that he saw the note at this time was enough to prove that Zhou Zhi had already calculated all the time.
Zhou Heng avoided everyone in the General's Mansion and went out through the back door. Pingjiang Tower was not far from the gate of the General's Mansion, only half a quarter of an hour away.
As soon as Zhou Heng entered Pingjiang Tower, someone came to take him upstairs.
"Master Zhou, please."
Jin Qi made a faint gesture of invitation.
Zhou Heng glanced at Jin Qi. He didn't recognize him, but he felt that he could sense that the people around Zhou Zhi were extraordinary.
Jin Qi opened the door of the wing room. After Zhou Heng walked in, Jin Qi closed the door and waited quietly outside.
In the wing room.
Zhou Zhi made a gesture of invitation, then poured tea for Zhou Heng. He stretched out his hand and gently pushed the teacup in front of Zhou Heng: "Please have tea, brother."
Zhou Zhi also poured himself a glass, and he took a sip.
Zhou Heng did not move. He looked at Zhou Zhi and asked, "Why did you call me here?"
There is incompatibility between brothers, and this is a situation that cannot be changed.
Zhou Zhi looked at Zhou Heng and smiled and said, "Brother, I have nothing else to do with you. I just want to chat with you and tell stories."
Zhou Zhi had a slight smile on his face, twirling the teacup with his pale and slender hands, saying a word and taking a sip.
Their eyes met, and both of them were relatively calm.
Zhou Heng said calmly: "What story? I'm all ears."
After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup. He reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip. Then he put the teacup down again and looked directly at Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi's complexion didn't look very good. It seemed to be worse than when we met a few months ago. The deep-rooted illness took away his energy and made his complexion less rosy.
Even the exposed hands were pale, and the fingernails were pale and obviously sickly. He lowered his eyes and looked at his hands. The nails were red, and the word health was uttered everywhere.
"This matter started a few years ago. My eldest brother still remembers that one year, you sent a letter back to the capital."
Zhou Zhi spoke slowly, his lips curling up into a slight smile.
Zhou Heng became nervous. He looked at Zhou Zhi nervously. That year, he sent a letter back to Beijing, but the result was that his return date was uncertain.
Did it turn out that he couldn't tolerate him at that time?
Zhou Zhi smiled softly and continued: "That year, you recovered from a long illness. That year, my legs were amputated. You probably can't imagine in this life that they were as dry as dead branches."
What do the limbs look like?"
"My mother was very happy when she saw your letter, but when she looked at me, the happiness in her eyes disappeared instantly, and she couldn't hide her disgust for me. Haha, I don't want you to come back, at least.
If you don't come back like that."
"I laid a trap. I found someone to replace you and hide in your identity. He will be found when I need him. When I met you in Furongzhou half a year ago, I knew that the time was almost up.
I revealed the news about him to my mother and the Wei family. They were overjoyed, but they were also careful to prevent me from noticing. In the past six months, in order to bring Zhou Heng back to the capital, hundreds of secret guards were sent out one after another.
