Chapter 218: The Prince's Visit
After finishing the meal and sending Ji Changge away, Wen Jing looked at Wang Jue, who had been silent, although he rarely spoke, but it was almost negligible recently.
"Did the saint embarrass you later?"
Wang Jue looked down at the scroll in his hand and said lightly: "No, it's just that since then, I've been more diligent." ”
"And then?"
Wang Jue paused and said, "Then he didn't win a single game." ”
“”
Wen Jing was speechless, and said in his heart, you won well, the emperor is probably about to hold back his internal injuries
"Shengshang has already lost fifty-six games in a row, and tomorrow he only needs to let him win one game, and he will definitely leave satisfied, and he will never play chess with me again." Wang Jue smiled faintly.
"This plan is very good, but you are too risky, if the saint can't hold it back, he will drag you out and cut you first, what should I do?" Wen Jing said with a smile.
"No, since the Holy Lord is so good-looking, how can he be willing to cut me down before winning me, then he will never be able to win me." A faint smile appeared in Wang Jue's eyes.
You dare to "force" the saint like this, Wen Jing said helplessly, if you change someone else, I'm afraid you won't have such good luck.
Zhou Quan suddenly walked over and handed the envelope in his hand to Wen Jing: "Miss Seven, someone asked the old slave to hand you a letter." ”
Wen Jing took the envelope, there was no word on the envelope, opened it, and there was only one line of words inside, Nanfeng Yaju saw it.
"Who's the messenger?" Wen Jing asked.
"The man didn't say, he just said let me give you the letter." Thoughtful and thorough.
A trace of doubt flashed in Wen Jing's eyes, the group that kidnapped her last time should not have let her go so blatantly. However, this possibility cannot be ruled out, and caution is the best.
"Don't go." Wang Jue snatched the letterhead and tore it to pieces.
Wen Jing was stunned for a moment, why did she react so much, thinking about it, it seemed that no one needed to find her in this way, eighty percent was not a good thing, so it was okay not to go.
The next day, Ji Changge came to pick up Wen Jing to go to the yamen as promised.
Inside the car.
"Feiran, do you remember the case of my father who was demoted last year?" Wen Jing asked.
Hearing Wen Jing call him Feiran. And not Lord Ji. A smile rose at the corner of Ji Changge's mouth, and he thought for a long time and said: "Our Dali Temple did not intervene in that case, I was chasing Luo Wenshui at the time, and I only heard about it when I returned to Beijing. Didn't that case be solved by Zhao Shenghua later? What does that, you ask? ”
"My father has always been tight-lipped about this case. I thought it was a big case. The last time I heard a servant of the Criminal Department talk about it, it turned out to be just a beggar who died. Wen Jing said.
"You can check the files of the Criminal Department, and you should be able to know the whole story."
Wen Jing nodded
Pick up the files of all the cases from last year. Looking at the missing pages in the dossier, it happened to be the case of Wen Qiran who was demoted, Wen Jing could already be sure that this case must be boring, she didn't believe that Wen Qiran would make a big mistake in such a small case, but what was hidden in it?
Zhao Shenghua is dead, Lord Shangshu and Lord He should know about it, Lord Shangshu has gone to the court, He Wenhai is easier to talk to, Wen Jing decided to go to He Wenhai.
He Wenhai walked over with a pile of official documents, and Wen Jing hurriedly stopped him.
"Lord Wen, what's the matter?" He Wenhai put down the stack of official documents in his hand.
Wen Jing pulled He Wenhai in, and then closed the door.
He Wenhai's face was suffocated, he clasped his hands on his chest, and said nervously: "Lord Xiaowen, I am a family man." ”
Wen Jing was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, He Wenhai is a middle-aged man who looks very affable, and she only regarded He Wenhai as a "friend of women", so she didn't stick too much to the subtleties.
"Lord He is handsome and chic, and his demeanor has not diminished back then, the lower officials don't dare to have the slightest thought about Lord He, they just want to ask the adults something." Wen Jing said with a smile.
He Wenhai, who was slapping this sycophant, smiled, and then stroked his beard and said, "Don't hesitate to ask if Lord Xiao Wen has anything." ”
"It's about the case when my father left the Criminal Department." Wen Jing lowered his voice.
The smile on He Wenhai's face disappeared, and he looked at Wen Jing suspiciously: "What do you ask about that case?" Do you suspect that there is another grievance in that case? ”
"No, it's just a little curious." Wen Jing smiled.
"There is nothing suspicious about that case, two gangs of beggars fought for food, and several people died, and no one even knew their names, this case was originally tried by Shuntianfu, and then when it came to the Criminal Department, it was handed over to your father for trial, this seemingly simple case was investigated for more than a month, and then your father was demoted for poor work, and this case was followed by Zhao Shenghua." He Wenhai recalled.
After checking for so long, could it be that my father found something and then endangered the interests of some people, so he was demoted? Wen Jing thought, this is the only possibility, otherwise he will not be demoted by five or six levels in a row.
If this speculation is true, then after Zhao Shenghua took over, he closed the case according to the wishes of those people, will these be related to Zhao Shenghua's death?
Zhao Shenghua suddenly has a lot of money, will it be hush money? Those masked weirdos didn't let her continue to investigate Zhao Shenghua's case, there must be some important secrets hidden in it, these things seem to be unrelated, but they are inextricably linked, Wen Jing feels that she is getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter.
"How's Zhao Shenghua's case?" He Wenhai asked.
"I don't have a clue, there have been a lot of things recently, but the case of Yunlai Inn has finally been solved, and the murderer has confessed." Wen Jing said.
"Lao Bai died unjustly, I think he was also an iron-clad man back then, if he stayed in the Criminal Department, there would be no such catastrophe." He Wenhai sighed and said.
Wen Jing nodded, then looked up at He Wenhai: "What did you say?" The white shopkeeper once served in the Criminal Department? ”
"Yes, more than ten years ago, Bai Zhaoxian used to be a cell head in the Criminal Department, at that time I was still a small scholar, I had a good relationship with Lao Bai, and we often drank a glass of wine or something together." He Wenhai recalled the years more than ten years ago, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"And then? Why did he leave the Criminal Department? Wen Jing hurriedly asked.
Later, Lao Bai said that the cell head was bitter and tired, and he was still a lowly member. He wants to get ahead, be a decent person, let the descendants get out of the lowly status, and later heard that he went to the field to resell medicinal materials and made a fortune, and after coming back, he opened the Yunlai Inn, I heard that he adopted a few orphans, and often helped the neighbors, but also a wide range of good fate, but I didn't expect to die unexpectedly, God has no eyes. No eyes. He Wenhai sighed heavily.
Bai Zhaoxian once stayed in the Criminal Department. Zhao Shenghua also stayed in the Criminal Department, and both of them made a windfall, is there any connection between the deaths of these two? Wen Jing wondered.
"Lord Ho, please mourn."
Wen Jing did not tell He Wenhai of his suspicions. And that's just speculation. Bai Zhaoxian's case. I'm afraid the Dali Temple has already been decided.
......
In the evening, Ji Changge really came.
Wen Jing told him that Bai Zhaoxian had been in the Criminal Department, and Ji Changge's face was also puzzled.
"Do you think it was the same person who killed Zhao Shenghua and killed Bai Zhaoxian?"
"Hmm. It seems that the murderer doesn't want us to know that there is a connection between them, and even the method of killing is different. Wen Jing said, most serial homicide cases are strikingly similar in their methods and processes, but there are also some serial murders who deliberately make different ways of dying in order to cover up, which is the mastery of murderers.
"Suppose these people killed Zhao Shenghua first in order to rob Zhao Shenghua of the silver, and then went to the Yunlai Inn to kill Bai Zhaoxian." Ji Chang sang.
Wen Jing shook his head: "I always feel that this case is not so simple, those bandits are completely different from the people who kidnapped me that day, if this group of bandits is the murderer, why should the mask monsters hide it for them?" ”
Ji Changge bowed his head, but unfortunately even Uncle Qian couldn't find out who those masked weirdos were, otherwise these questions would have answers.
"How is the Holy One feeling lately?" Wen Jing asked casually.
Ji Changge was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "When did Qi Niang start to care about the mood of the saint?" The saint has been in a general mood recently, and today he mentioned the matter of re-establishing the prince, I mentioned the position of the crown prince of Yunze, but some people mentioned the prince of Xuan, and the most ridiculous thing is that some people mentioned that Yan Wang Yunyi, who had just turned twelve, and the saint actually seriously considered this mentions, and it seems that the concubine is still the most favored one in front of the saint. ”
Wen Jing didn't care about who was the crown prince at all, listening to Ji Changge say this, it seemed that the saint had no time to pay attention to Wang Jue's affairs for the time being, and the establishment of the prince was enough for him to worry about for a while, and he was just upset to play chess with Wang Jue, maybe it was just because he was upset.
The Wen family.
As soon as Wen Jing got out of the car, he saw a familiar carriage parked at the door, which seemed to be from King Xuan's Mansion.
"Why is Lord Xuan here?" Ji Changge said in a low voice.
Wen Jing shook his head.
"Then I'll go first." Ji Changge continued, he didn't seem to be willing to see King Xuan.
When I walked into the house, I saw King Xuan and Liancheng behind King Xuan.
Lian Cheng also happened to look at Wen Jing, his eyes met, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
"Qi Niang has a big face, yesterday the king invited you to Nanfeng Yaju, you actually released the king's pigeons, and the king had to visit in person." King Xuan said with a half-hearted smile.
It turned out that yesterday's mysterious letter was written by King Xuan, Wen Jing pondered the meaning of King Xuan's intention, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang has a lot, and he will definitely not worry about Qi Niang." ”
"What's wrong with your arm?" King Xuan looked at Wen Jing's left arm, which was being helped by a bandage.
"I was only slightly injured, thanks to the prince's concern."
"You guys go out first, this king has something to tell Qi Niang." King Xuan said to everyone.
The crowd went out.
Wen Jing glanced at Liancheng and saw that he was no different from before: "Lian Gongzi is fine, it seems that his injury has healed." ”
Lian Cheng looked at Wen Jing expressionlessly: "Why is Lord Wen making fun of a waste person." ”
"Although Lian Gongzi has become a wasted person, after all, he can still enjoy the beauty of the world, but my green willow has been buried underground." Wen Jing put away the smile on her face. (To be continued......)
