Chapter 165 Huajia Sanlang
Bai Jingzhi lifted the curtain and climbed outside to talk to Wei Liu.
"Is there such a family in Dazhuang Dynasty?"
Wei Liu drove the carriage very steadily, and even if the mother and daughter were whispering in the carriage, he pretended not to hear them.
Bai Jingzhi shouted several times before Wei Liu came to his senses.
"About ten years ago, that family was wiped out."
Wei Liu sighed, "They were affected by the case involving the Hua family."
He was beside Wei Shou when the news came.
Wei Shou wanted to save the children, but he was a few steps too late.
"The Hua family?" This was the first time Bai Jingzhi heard of this family and he didn't know much about them.
"Yes, the Hua family. In the Dazhuang Dynasty, the Hua family and the Wei family were equally famous, and they were always known as the Southern Wei and the Northern Hua. Twenty years ago, the man on the throne took back the military power, and our two families returned to the capital."
Wei Liu's memory of that period was particularly profound. It was his first time returning to the capital and it was very difficult.
Later, Wei Shou retired from the political arena and returned to his ancestral home in Lingzhou.
The Hua family is still in the capital.
More than ten years ago, the Dog Emperor brought up the old matter again and executed all nine clans of the Hua family.
At that time, Hua Sanlang's master pleaded for the Hua family and was also implicated.
"The emperor is a bit moody and still clings to the past."
Based on the information obtained from various parties, Bai Jingzhi had no good feelings towards the person sitting on the dragon throne. He thought that such a foolish and unjust person was not worthy of being a king.
Wei Liu's explanation was relatively simple, and Bai Jingzhi could already imagine the brutality of the succession struggle. He was actually hated by the one on the throne for so long, and endured it for many years, and then found a reason to convict him again after people had forgotten about it.
"There are things you don't understand, so don't judge rashly. We can't protect ourselves right now, so don't worry about anything else."
Wei Liu glanced at her sideways, and then concentrated on driving the car.
Bai Jingzhi smiled awkwardly and retreated back into the carriage.
Her thoughts were still discovered.
So what? This Hua Jia Sanlang will be of great use in the future.
There is a secret in Taiming Mountain, and she will uncover it sooner or later.
Wei Hongmian was reading in the carriage. Seeing his daughter looking angry, he poked her puffy cheeks with his fingers and asked, "How about taking a nap?"
She moved to the side to make room for Bai Jingzhi.
"Mom, I'll sleep a little longer. I was busy with them all night last night and I'm a little sleepy."
In order to avoid the pursuit of the Liu County magistrate, they traveled very fast.
The carriage was bumpy and Bai Jingzhi fell asleep soon.
"This child!" Wei Hongmian put down the Chinese medicine book in his hand and covered her with a blanket.
Inadvertently seeing the exquisite purse in her hand, she gently took it in her hand and looked at it carefully.
This purse was the one given to her by Jiang Zhu, and she had seen it before.
There was a hint of red light coming from inside just now.
Wei Hongmian rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.
She didn't dare make a sound, for fear that Wei Liu would become suspicious.
This purse was beautifully embroidered, and they were present when Jiang Zhu gave it to Jing Zhi that day.
Wei Hongmian noticed that there was another flash of light inside, and to make sure he was not seeing things, he whispered, "It really is a red light!"
She quickly opened the purse and poured out the contents.
A black stone lay in the palm of her hand.
The red light comes from it.
Wei Hongmian moved closer to observe, and the light disappeared again.
She was wondering in her heart, "Is this the obsidian that Jingzhi mentioned? The two pieces that were taken from the statue? How come there is only one piece left?"
When the father and daughter were talking about this that day, she was reading a book nearby and also listened.
In the original world, when Guiyuantianju was being built, she spent most of her time with Bai Zhao.
She saw with her own eyes how it was built up little by little from scratch.
What she was sure of was that the statue in the square did not have eyes.
There is something strange about the appearance of this stone.
Also, there were originally two pieces, and the disappearance of one of them was also strange.
"General, you have been staring at this stone for two days. What are you looking at?" Chang He came back from outside and couldn't help nagging, "You haven't even finished your breakfast yet. You have to take care of yourself!"
Changhe picked up the bowl on the table and left in a hurry.
Jiang Zhu stared at the black stone in his hand and sat there for a long time.
After a long while, he took out a dagger and said, "If you can't pry it apart with your hands, then try a weapon!"
His dagger was filled with internal force, so the outside of the stone remained intact.
Jiang Zhu has tried many ways in the past two days, but still hasn't found any clues.
The stone appeared on his bed yesterday without any warning.
He was sure that there was nothing on his bed.
Besides, he had seen a lot of good things and had no interest in this ordinary stone. How could he put it on the bed?
Just as he was about to throw it, a red light came on, which aroused his interest.
He soaked it in boiling water, burned it with fire...he tried many methods, but still couldn't break the stone.
"What is that red light in there?"
Jiang Zhu stroked the stone, and the stone's luster became brighter than before.
Chang He came in with a steaming bowl of rice, "General, Princess Jiang Chi is still looking for you and wants to spar with you."
Jiang Zhu seemed not to hear his words.
"General, don't look at that stone. It's just round and looks like a bead. There are stones like this everywhere along the river."
Chang He was anxious. He had been following Jiang Chi these days and was almost unable to cope with the entanglement, so he came to ask for help.
"Yes, beads!" Jiang Zhu remembered something and sent Chang He away. "Don't try to be lazy, stay with Jiang Chi and don't let her come to me for the time being."
Changhe was helpless. He now knew that the general not only wanted to get rid of this mess, but also wanted to find something for the princess to do to avoid being entangled by her.
His brother was smart and hid away early.
Thinking of how difficult the princess was, Changhe could only accept his fate and leave.
Jiang Zhu looked at his back, "With you here, Jiang Chi will still pester you!"
He continued to observe the stone in his hand, "Bai Jingzhi, what are you doing now?"
He had recognized the stone and knew where it came from.
He went in and out of Guiyuantianju several times and was deeply impressed by the statue in the square.
Especially those eyes.
He didn't dare to connect the two before, it was too incredible.
The Red Tassel Spear came out to find him on its own, so it was barely plausible that it recognized him as its master.
This stone has nothing to do with him.
What is the secret behind this?
Why hasn't Bai Jingzhi looked for him these days?
He didn't go out during the day because he was afraid that Bai Jingzhi would look for him, and his sudden disappearance would expose the secret.
Jiang Zhu couldn't figure it out and carefully put the black stone away.
Wei Hongmian noticed that the luster of the black stone had dimmed, so he put the stone back into his pouch and stuffed it into Bai Jingzhi's hand, "I'll ask you when you wake up!"
After going through so much these days, Wei Hongmian is no longer surprised.
