The weather outside was getting cold day by day, and every morning, the yard was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

Qingmai walked in and curtsied, "Young lady, Grandma Xu sent a post." ”

Xu Wanzhen put down the needle and thread in her hand and said, "Bring it quickly." ”

It turns out that there are still a few days left before her grandmother's 60th birthday? Xu Wan really hates herself, how can she forget her grandmother's birthday when she is busy?

But I really can't blame her. After being poisoned, she fell asleep for more than two years, and when she woke up, it was the night of candles in the cave. Immediately afterwards, Chen's tricks continued, and Wang Miaoyan made ghosts in the back and went to the north. You can't really blame her head.

Thankfully, I didn't miss my grandmother's birthday.

It's obviously too late to do it yourself. "Quick, let's go to the storeroom and look for it. Xu Wan was really excited, there were a lot of good things in her warehouse, and she naturally had to choose and choose the birthday gift for her grandmother.

Qingmai pursed her lips and smiled, helping her to her feet.

The key and booklet of the warehouse were in Bai Yao's hands, she took them out and followed Xu Wanzhen into the warehouse.

The warehouse is not far away, and it is transformed from a small courtyard behind the main house. It is full of different categories, such as medicinal herbs, antique ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, clothing materials, etc., each category has its own room.

Xu Wanzhen doesn't come here often, most of them are when she thinks of something and the maid takes it out of the warehouse for her. Or, she just chooses it in the booklet.

If it weren't for the birthday gift for Mrs. Xu, she wouldn't have set foot until now.

The back cover yard is very clean, and there is no dust in the open warehouse. "Young lady, Mama Zheng taught the maid how to manage the treasury, and assigned manpower, and the maid didn't dare to be lazy for a moment. ”

Managing the treasury for the young lady was a decent errand and proved her position in the young lady's heart. If it weren't for Sang Zi and Caisi who were preparing to get married, where would they be able to get her?

Bai Yao knew that the opportunity was rare. Perhaps, Sang Zi and Cai Si will have the opportunity to make mistakes. But for her, doing something wrong is an unforgivable mistake.

These storerooms are full of treasures, and each type of storage method is different.

For example, porcelain should be dusted with a feather duster, medicinal herbs should be dried from time to time to prevent moisture, and bronze ware should be oiled regularly. Bai Yao learned everything by herself first, and then taught it to the little maids under her hands.

Although she came out of the palace, she was not of high grade and did not have the opportunity to touch these precious things. At this time, I took over this important task, and I did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

Xu Wanzhen nodded with satisfaction, the warehouse was bright and dry, and the maintenance was really good. Even though it's a storeroom, everything is placed next to each other for easy selection.

Xu Wan really pointed to the same, and Bai Yao took out the same. After a while, the little maid in the back was full of large and small brocade boxes.

A century-old ginseng is used to replenish Mrs. Xu's body, a fine bear skin can be used to make a mattress, and a pair of royal blue Fuxi amphorae are perfect for placing in the main hall......

A total of seven or eight good things were picked out, and Xu Wanzhen came out of the back yard. She doesn't need to worry about the rest of the matter.

Mama Zheng will naturally arrange for her subordinates to wrap these birthday gifts and make them into gift lists. When Xu Wanzhen went to Xu's Mansion to celebrate her birthday, she sent it together.

"Young lady, the second son is back. ”

Before she could enter the room, someone came to report it.

Hearing that he came back so early, Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly and quickened the pace under her feet.

When he entered the door, he heard the sound of rushing water coming from the clean room, and Xu Wanzhen sat in front of the dressing table and waited for him. Wu Zhengxiang bathed quickly, and after a while, he turned out.

"It's not dinner yet, why did you take a shower first?"

Wu Zhengxiang leaned over and kissed her, and said with a smile: "Today's matter, I don't have to go out again." At home, it's more comfortable to wear bedclothes. ”

Looking outside, it was not yet dark, and it was rare for him to come back so early.

The two gossiped a few more words, and Wu Zhengxiang said: "There is a person in the edict prison, do you want to see it?"

With the completion of Emperor Qinglong's layout, some of the prisoners in the prison were convicted, some sentenced, and some released. For the past few days, he has been dealing with these follow-ups.

In a few days, because of the murder of the prince, the prisoners who were implicated later will be handed over to the Criminal Department.

Xu Wanzhen's beautiful eyes flashed, and she understood what he meant.

"You mean Wang Miaoyan?"

Wu Zhengxiang stroked her black hair and gently bowed her head, and it was easy to talk to her.

"Wang Miaoyan is the one who manipulated the Ningxing business for the prince, and he has done a lot of evil things. Several bloody cases are directly or indirectly related to her. Her crime is unforgivable, and she has been executed for execution after next autumn. ”

The bloody case of Yuxi Township Post Station, the blood debt of Xie County Order in Luyang County, the stonemason who left his hometown in Jinyang County, and the medicinal herb merchant who died in Cishui Village. This pile is outrageous. These things, Wang Miaoyan couldn't stand the punishment of the cavalry guards, and they all shook out.

When Wu Zhengxiang looked through her interrogation records, he was also quite puzzled by this woman.

He asked himself and met many ruthless people, but Wang Miaoyan, as a woman, has a vicious mind and indifference to human life, and no one can match it.

What's more, Wang Miaoyan planned for the prince on the surface, but in fact, in order to show her own evil anger, she carried out the kidnapping of Xu Wanzhen, which eventually led to the prince's desperate murder.

These things are enough to kill her a hundred times, even if Ling Chi is sentenced to death.

But even if she was lucky, she came to Beijing to kill too much, and people like Wang Miaoyan were beheaded.

Among them, there is also Princess Chu who is behind the effort. If Wang Miaoyan is regarded as an unmarried woman, it is still the Wang family, and the sins she committed are enough to punish the three families of the Wang family.

Fortunately, she was a woman, and Wang Danruo, who was beside the King of Chu, went to the King of Chu and begged hard, so she begged the Princess of Chu to help.

When Princess Chu sent her to the abolished prince, she reserved a hand in advance. made a concubine document for her in Jingzhao Mansion and prepared the case.

There is such a document, Wang Miaoyan is just a concubine of the abolished prince. According to the law of Gauman, the daughter who married into the family belonged to the family tree of her husband, and the sins she committed in the law had nothing to do with her mother's family.

Princess Chu handed over this document to Wu Zhengxiang, and Wu Zhengxiang understood what she meant.

The Wang family was a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan Province, and he offered his daughter to the palace, although he did not serve in front of Emperor Qinglong, he was also selected as the concubine of the king of Chu.

The Wang family is also law-abiding in Jiangnan Province and is a large local taxpayer.

The sins committed by Wang Miaoyan would be too far-fetched if the Wang family was to bear them. After all, during Wang Miaoyan's stay in Beijing, Mrs. Wang never took advantage of her convenience to seek personal gain for forgetting.

What's more, Wang Leyu in the shadow guard is also a member of the Wang family. He has made great contributions to the shadow guard, and the evidence of Gu Shangshu's guilt this time was also collected by him.
