Chapter 100: Truth and Falsehood
"Is there another girl with you?"
"Exactly, that girl is the daughter of Prime Minister Wen and my distant cousin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Wen Zhengsu said with a look of 'knowing everything and saying everything'.
Lan Xue frowned, this guy really said it, but she always felt that something seemed wrong, but she couldn't say it, so she had to continue to ask: "Then tell me, what happened that night?" ā
Wen Zhengsu paused for a moment before he said slowly: "That night... I went to that tavern with Master Lan, thinking about talking about something, but I didn't want to meet Wen Lin halfway. ā
"Halfway through? You're saying you met that girl halfway? Lan Xue frowned.
"That's right! We met halfway! Wen Zhengsu nodded hurriedly and said, "That night, Master Lan and I were about to go to the tavern to drink and talk, but we didn't want to meet Wen Lin who was about to go back to the house in a carriage on the way. ā
"Since we met halfway, how did you end up in the tavern together? And I heard that you helped the girl in? How? She's not feeling well? ā
Wen Zhengsu's face changed, and he immediately stood up, and only after a while did he say: "This... If I did, would you beat me? ā
"Say, I won't hit you! But only if you are telling the truth. ā
"Of course, I'm telling the truth! Don't dare to deceive! After a pause, Wen Zhengsu said again: "Actually, Wen Lin's little cousin went to the palace to see her sister Wen Guifei that night, Xu was a little uncomfortable, and she was faint when she came back. ā
"Originally, I said that since my little cousin is not feeling well, she should go back to rest, but... But I didn't want Mr. Lan to know what was going on that night, so he suddenly said, I want to... I want my little cousin to talk to her. At that time, I was amazed that Mr. Lan was a very peaceful and respectful person on weekdays, but somehow that night he was like that. Then he got out of the carriage and told the coachman to go back, saying that he would ask someone to send her back after the conversation. ā
Hearing this, Lan Xue's brows couldn't help frowning, there was really nothing wrong with hearing this, but I didn't understand
People who are uncomfortable with the eldest brother naturally feel that there is nothing wrong with it, but she is different, she knows her eldest brother very well! He's not the kind of person who would force a little girl out of the cabinet to talk about things at night!
So there are two suspicions here, the first is that Wen Zhengsu lied, maybe his little cousin was left by him at that time, and then he was a scoundrel to her eldest brother! But if that's the case, then the big brother can get out and leave that night! It is impossible to wade into such troubled waters as to cause such a disaster!
Second, the eldest brother was also killed at that time, maybe he was also delirious at that time, so he made such a move! But if this is the case, then the person who has the intention to harm him first is really vicious! That's even the case!
So in contrast, she hopes that it is the first case, and then it is easier to say, if it is really the second case, then the eldest brother may have really done it, and did it in his own nightmare, and he didn't know it in the middle of the night, then it would be indescribable!
Seeing that Lan Xue and Murong Qing didn't speak, Wen Zhengsu continued: "I can't help him, so I have to follow him." ā
How do you say that? Wouldn't you stop Master Lan from treating your cousin like that? Murong Qing asked coldly.
Wen Zhengsu hurriedly said: "Although we are cousins, our relationship is actually not much close, not to mention my humble status, just because Master Lan is the son of Prime Minister Lan, I don't dare to offend easily, right?" What is he going to do, how dare I say more? ā
"So you're going to let him do it?" Lan Xue looked at Wen Zhengsu coldly.
Wen Zhengsu nodded and said, "Because Mr. Lan is usually upright, we all know about it, although his behavior was a little strange that day, but I didn't think much about it, after all, in my opinion, maybe... They're just gossiping. ā
"And what about later? And then what? ā
"Later..."Wen Zhengsu swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't know exactly what happened later. ā
"What are you talking about? How can you say that you don't know? Aren't you all in the same place? Murong Qing frowned.
"In the beginning, we did drink and talk together, but... But then I drank too much and I didn't know anything. As for what happened after that, I didn't know until I woke up early the next morning. ā
Wen Zhengsu's words naturally can't all be taken seriously, but at least some of them can be believed that the three of them were indeed in the same place that night, and they met the dead girl on the road, as for whether it was an accident, this is not clear. But one thing is for sure, at that time, his eldest brother must have had a problem!
Otherwise, he would never do anything to a girl!
Looking at Wen Zhengsu coldly for a long time, Lan Xue said lightly: "What you said is true or false, you naturally know best in your heart, I only tell you one thing, if I know that you are lying to me, the next time I see you, you will be very miserable!" Let's go! After saying that, Lan Xue stood up and left the box.
Murong Qing also stood up, looked at Wen Zhengsu, and said with a light smile: "Your name is Wen Zhengsu, right, well, I remember you, you remember everything he said just now?" Then I will tell you one more thing, if any of what you just said is a lie, I also promise you that not only will you be physically miserable, but you will also leave the Hanlin Academy forever! Believe me! And remember what I said today! After speaking, Murong Qing also fanned and left.
Watching Lan Xue and Murong Qing leave, Wen Zhengsu couldn't hold on any longer, and snorted in pain when he fell to the ground, and at the same time he secretly shouted bad luck, so he will leave the capital tomorrow! Otherwise, I will die!
Just thinking like this, he suddenly saw two strong men walking in at the door, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and was about to speak, but he saw one of the big men raise his fist and smash it towards Wen Zhengsu's head!
Out of the restaurant, Murong Qing said softly, "Are you okay?" I see your face is even more ugly, let's go back! ā
Lan Xue shook her head and said, "I can't go back yet, there is still time, let's go to that tavern, I want to see how many of these people's words are lies!" So saying, he walked towards the carriage.
Murong Qing looked at the thin back, and felt a slight pain in her heart, this kind of thing, but she had to carry it on a woman's shoulders, she must be very tired! Then he shook his head and said with a smile: "Isn't there still me?" With me here, what are you afraid of? I'll help you, silly woman! ā
