Chapter 565: Cocooning
Peony gritted her teeth, this Xu Zehai is really depressed, did he come all the way to fight with her? Such a smart person really doesn't look like a stupid person
, no matter what he has in mind, he is willing to play, and she is with him.
She smiled slightly and said: "If Lord Xu really doesn't want to enter the city, it's not impossible, but it's not necessary to go back to Nanjing. “
Didn't he want to go into the city? Just let him cool off outside the city for a while.
She said that she had already ordered the accompanying honor guard to enter the city first, leaving three or five guards to guard Xu Zehai, and specially asked people to move this master's recliner to a place close to the puddle. In the summer, the closer you get to the water, the more mosquitoes there are, and I heard that the mosquitoes in this Songjiang Prefecture are also famous for their ferocity, so it's no wonder if you don't bite him half to death.
She did these things with a smile, none of the people who accompanied Xu Zehai liked to spend the night in the suburbs, as soon as she saw her speak, she immediately pulled out her legs and ran to the city, and when Xu Zehai found out that something was wrong, those people had already left.
He looked at the woman in front of him with a bright smile, and then looked at the empty city gate, and suddenly had a feeling of wanting to laugh, his personality of liking to be a demon has been there since he was a child, not only for Guo Wenying, but also for many officials in the DPRK and China who have suffered from him. But today, he was surprised to meet this woman who didn't care about it, and he smacked his lips, is this going to put him outside the city to feed mosquitoes?
Guo Wenying said: "Lord Xu, if there is nothing to do, I will go back to the city first, as for when the adults enter the city, the officials are waiting in Songjiang Mansion." She said and turned back to Lu Weixin and said, "Tell the brothers to look at the point, if Lord Xu wants to leave half a step, he will greet the point." ”
Lu Weixin responded crisply, and the eyes cast on Xu Zehai were a little more gloating. It's not good for this man to provoke anyone, but he wants to fight against Guo Wenying, who doesn't know that Guo Wenying is famous and will take revenge.
Xu Zehai couldn't help but smash his mouth again, he also heard a little taste, and let people greet him, can there be a good greeting in this greeting? Guo Wenying brought not only ordinary guards, but also many brocade guards, how can these people be jealous? Others will be afraid that he is a big member of the party, and give some face, but these brocade guards will not take anyone in their eyes.
But at this point, you have to continue to pretend if you don't want to pretend, and it's a big deal to stay outside the city overnight and feed the mosquitoes.
He remembered the letter he received two days ago, and felt that he had come to Songjiang Mansion by mistake, but he had to run here to wade into troubled waters, and he really thought that he had nothing to do all day long?
Guo Wenying threw Xu Zehai outside the city and went back to the city, and she has been staying in the government office of Songjiang Mansion these days. Originally, there were people dead in the palace, which was a bit taboo, but she was not afraid of these, she had never believed in ghosts and gods, if Wang Zhan had a spirit in the sky and could come back to expose the real murderer, she would not be able to ask for it.
Wang Yan has been an official in Songjiang for several years, and his family is also settled in Songjiang Mansion, where he lives in the first house in Xiangzi Hutong. The body has been brought back by the family, and she has been busy with the affairs in the yamen for the past two days and has no time to mourn. It just so happened that Xu Zehai didn't want to go into the city? I couldn't talk to him about the affairs of Songjiang, so I might as well go to Wang's house to have a look.
She took Lu Weixin and Yunmo a few, and went to Wang's house with some gifts, and just arrived at Xiangzi Hutong and saw white everywhere, and the Wang's mourning hall was set up near the left, and there were many people who came to mourn.
As they entered the courtyard, they saw a beautiful woman in her thirties kneeling on the ground, burning paper money and sobbing lowly.
Guo Wenying knew that it must be Wang Zhan's wife Xu, speaking of which Wang Zhan is also quite pitiful, after the year of establishment, there is not even a child at home, and it is difficult to be a woman, her husband died overnight, how should she live alone?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, and asked Lu Weixin to go with a gift of five hundred taels, which was regarded as a subsidy for the Xu family.
As soon as Lu Weixin heard her say five hundred taels, he deliberately plucked out his ears, "Wen Ying, I heard you right." "She's a well-known slammer, and it's not easy to get money out of her hand.
Guo Wenying smiled, "What? Do you want to donate this money alone?"
Lu Weixin shook his head hurriedly, his money was still kept for his wife, and it was given to people he didn't know for nothing, he was not so kind.
When Xu heard that the Governor had arrived, he hurriedly came to pay his respects, most likely because of excessive grief, and almost tripped over the ground when he was pulling his skirt. She seemed to be panicked, and she leaned over to Guo Wenying, and shouted: "My lord, you want to be the master of the people's women, the people's women and husbands are dead in vain." ”
Guo Wenying picked her up, "This sister can rest assured, this official will definitely investigate this case and give Lord Wang justice." ”
In fact, she said it well, but if she really wants to investigate, how can she start to investigate?
Xu cried and thanked him, because he shed a lot of tears, and the light makeup painted on his face was also a little spent, leaving two clear rouge traces in the tear trough.
Coming out of Xiangzi Hutong, Guo Wenying slowly paced on the street, she lowered her head slightly, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Weizi, don't you think that Xu woman is a little strange?"
Lu Weixin shook his head, "What's so strange? It's just a woman." “
Guo Wenying touched her chin, "The woman is right, but this Xu family's behavior today is too exaggerated, even if her husband dies and makes her miserable, she can't walk." But the most puzzling thing is that today is a funeral, and she actually has makeup on her face. ”
Lu Weixin thought about it, a woman died of her husband, this was originally a very tragic thing, why did this woman still wear makeup?
He said, "Could it be a coincidence?"
Guo Wenying slanted at him, what kind of coincidence should not make such a mistake, if she is seen by others, she is afraid that she will be poked in the back.
She thought for a moment and said, "Ask someone to check this Xu family, what is the origin, what is the relationship with Wang Yu, and who is usually in contact with him, all of them must be found out 1510." ”
Lu Weixin nodded, although he hadn't found a clue yet, it was still easy for Jinyiwei to do this.
They returned to the yamen, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a dark figure rushing out of the door. Lu Weixin reacted quickly, and subconsciously stopped in front of Guo Wenying, shouting, "Who is it?"
The black shadow was also neat, but he didn't attack, but suddenly bowed down and bowed to Guo Wenying, "Xiaguan Jiang Bin came to pay a visit." ”
Guo Wenying looked at him and almost laughed, she was very impressed by this Jiang Bin, he was a person next to Jiang Yuhang, his skills were extremely neat, he was best at light skills, and his secret weapon kung fu was also excellent. There's a lot of bits and pieces on him, and you never know how many things he's on him, as if you'll never get them all.
