Chapter 219: Bargaining

Lian Cheng didn't say anything, raised his hand to pick up a teacup, his hand trembled for a long time, but he couldn't hold it.

"You may not be able to appreciate the feeling that life is worse than death."

Looking at Liancheng's bitter face, Wen Jing was not moved in the slightest, even if a poisonous snake has its fangs removed, it can still hurt people.

"I don't know what the prince is looking for Qi Niang?" Wen Jing asked.

King Xuan glanced at Wen Jing: "I haven't thanked Qi Niang for what happened last time, if it weren't for Qi Niang, maybe Yun Ze and I would have ended up with someone." ”

"The prince should be thankful for Lord Ji, and Qi Niang has no half credit." Wen Jing said lightly.

The smile in King Xuan's eyes deepened: "Qi Niang is in a hurry to clear up the relationship with this king, is she afraid that this king will deceive you?" ”

Wen Jing said in his heart, you understand that it is the best, every time I get involved with you, there is no good thing, not to mention that there is still a common enmity with your dog, but you can't say that.

"Qi Niang doesn't dare, it is the honor of the Wen family to be able to share the worries and solve problems for the prince." Wen Jing said.

Looking at Wen Jing's reluctant but had to say, King Xuan smiled and said lightly: "Then the king will give you this honor." ”

Wen Jing almost vomited blood, and said in his heart, I'll just be polite! You're still serious, what's the cheek?!

"Lord Wang, please speak."

King Xuan looked up at the window and said lightly: "It's still the last time." ”

What happened last time? Wen Jing couldn't remember anything unfinished between him and King Xuan?

"It's about asking you to perform an autopsy on my mother, Concubine Rong." King Xuan said lightly.

Wen Jing had already refused this matter last time, and King Xuan still didn't give up. How can I refuse this time?

"Qi Niang still wants to refuse this king this time?" King Xuan preemptively said.

Wen Jing was silent, looking at King Xuan's somewhat threatening gaze, this time King Xuan was obviously prepared, and it was not easy to refuse.

"Lord Wang, you see that my arm is like this, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for an autopsy." Wen Jing pointed to his injured left arm.

"Qi Niang's autopsy is clever, I believe there is no problem with only one right hand." King Xuan looked at Wen Jing with a smile.

Seeing that Wen Jing continued to be silent, King Xuan continued: "I heard that my father wants to send ministers to Goryeo and urge them to pay tribute. ”

Wen Jing lowered his eyes, this kind of "diplomatic" matter is usually handed over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. This King Xuan obviously said that he would "mention" the saint and let Wen Qiran go. It's not a good thing to ask those barbarians for money.

King Xuan, count you ruthlessly Wen Jing gritted his teeth and said.

"Qi Niang, this is a default?" King Xuan said with a smile.

"I have one condition." Wen Jing said leisurely.

"Tell me about it." King Xuan shook his fan and said.

Wen Jing looked up at King Xuan and said word by word: "The prince has a lifetime." It will keep the house peaceful. ”

King Xuan's eyes flashed with light. Then he laughed. It's good that you are Wen Qi Niang, you don't lose at all, this reward is far greater than what you pay.

"And. I don't want the fourth person to know about this. Wen Jing said.

King Xuan pondered for a moment, weighed all the pros and cons, and said, "Okay, it's all up to Qi Niang." ”

Whether King Xuan agrees or not, this deal is not a loss.

"When is the autopsy?" Wen Jing asked.

"Tomorrow night, the king will pick you up." Xuan Wang Dao.

"Okay."

Wen Qiran, who was waiting outside, had been uneasy, the three of them had been inside for a long time, and seeing the three of them walk out, Wen Qiran breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted him.

King Xuan left satisfied, this time it was not in vain, although he faintly felt that he was slaughtered by Wen Qiniang.

"Qi Niang, what is the purpose of the prince's visit?" Wen Qiran asked in a low voice.

"Autopsy, but who to examine, the daughter can't sue her father for the time being." Wen Jing owes herself.

Wen Qiran nodded, expressing understanding, and then worried: "Will it be dangerous?" ”

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter is measured." Wen Jing said coquettishly.

Shaking his head helplessly, Wen Qiran still had palpitations when he remembered the previous two times Wen Jing was in distress, but since he was kidnapped last time, he felt that he had underestimated his daughter a little, and if he was kidnapped by that group of strange people, it was unknown whether he would be able to escape and ascend to heaven.

"Qi Niang, where did you get all those pill powders?" Wen Qiran asked curiously.

"It's all left to his daughter by Master Lin Bai at the beginning."

Wen Jing said, in fact, the pills left by Lin Bai, except for those few highly poisonous, have almost been used up, and then they are all prepared by herself, and there are many modern chemical substances, and she can't explain it to Wen Qiran, so she still uses Lin Bai to block the arrow.

"Little Brother Lin doesn't know where he went, and it's been nearly a year since he was gone." Wen Qiran suddenly remembered that the man who was out of the dust, as if he was just an immortal, and he left inadvertently, and he might not see him in the future.

"yes, the days go by so fast."

Recalling that it had been nearly a year since he traveled to ancient times, and he had gradually become accustomed to the days here, at least he could do what he liked, instead of being kept in captivity in the back house and fighting with a group of wives and concubines, Wen Jing already felt very lucky

Early the next morning, Ji Changge arrived as scheduled.

Qingshuang helped Wen Jing out and boarded the carriage.

Ji Changge was just about to get into the carriage, when Wang Jue's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Master Ji, can you drop off the official by the way?" Wang Jue said lightly.

Ji Changge was slightly stunned, then narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang got in the car, why be polite." ”

Wang Jue was no longer polite, and Ji Changge got into the car and sat opposite Wen Jing.

Ji Changge raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly, and finally couldn't hold his breath?

"What did King Xuan look for you yesterday?" Ji Changge looked at Wen Jingdao.

"Just to thank me for relieving him last time." Wen Jing said, the less you know about the autopsy, the better.

Although he was a little suspicious, seeing Wen Jingsan's tight-lipped appearance, Ji Changge stopped asking.

"Did Bai Zhaoxian find out in the past?" Wen Jing asked.

"Bai Zhaoxian used to be an old man in the Criminal Department for twelve years, and later left the Criminal Department. He started the business of pouring medicinal herbs, but unfortunately he lost money, and then opened a shop selling rice, which fell again after half a year, and opened a restaurant half a year later," Ji Changge said.

"Fallen again?" Wen Jing asked tentatively, not knowing whether to say that this Bai Zhaoxian had no business acumen or was too unlucky.

Ji Changge bowed his head, and then said: "After the restaurant closed, not long after, Bai Zhao opened this inn first. I finally got a foothold. But at that time, it was not called Yunlai Inn, nor was it as large as it is now, it was just a small inn, and it was only expanded into the current Yunlai Inn in the last two years. ”

"A cell boss. One bankruptcy was enough for him to drink the northwest wind for a few years. Where did he get the silver? Wang Jue asked.

"That's the point." Ji Changge looked at the two of them.

"The same officials of the Criminal Department. It should not be a coincidence that he also carries money from unknown sources. Wen Jing said.

"But the white shopkeeper was indeed killed by those gangs, and so many people watched him being beaten to death by the bandits. And those bandits have also confessed, they don't admit that they have anything to do with Zhao Shenghua, and they don't even know who Zhao Shenghua is, they are all dead anyway, so there is no need for them not to admit it. Ji Changge continued.

Wen Jing's mind came up with the figure of Yang Wen, a man in a green shirt.

"Go check if that Yang Wen is out of the city."

Yang Wen? Ji Changge was stunned for a moment before he remembered the slightly feminine man he had seen at the Yunlai Inn, and when he passed by, he could feel that the other party did not have the slightest internal strength, if he didn't know martial arts at all, he was far superior to his master, but the possibility of the latter was obviously extremely low.

However, since Wen Jing was suspicious, she naturally had a reason, and Ji Changge responded: "Okay." ”

"Bai Zhaoxian left the Criminal Department twelve years ago, when did Zhao Shenghua start serving in the Criminal Department?" Wen Jing asked.

Ji Changge spread his hands: "Twelve years ago, I have to go back and ask my father about this." ”

As soon as he arrived at the Criminal Department, Wen Jing ran to the archives and found the case file from twelve years ago, and found that there were a few pages missing from it, Zhao Shenghua's death, Bai Zhaoxian's death, and his father's unjust case, between these three seemingly unrelated cases, there seemed to be an invisible line stringing them together, so what is this line?

Could it be that my father found out something last year, so he was demoted

"Master Wen, you've been so diligent in running to the archives recently."

Wen Jing patted her chest, and He Wenhai suddenly came in, startling her.

"Lord He, how many years have you been in the Criminal Department?" Wen Jing asked.

He Wenhai pinched his fingers and calculated, and then said: "It's been about twenty years, Lord Wen asked why this is done?" Is it planning to hold a celebration banquet for He? ”

"If you solve this case, you will definitely celebrate Lord He."

Wen Jing also half-jokingly, and then asked, "When did Zhao Shenghua come to the Criminal Department?" ”

"Zhao Shenghua came in a few years before me." Ho Wen Hai Dao.

Wen Jing handed the file in his hand to He Wenhai: "Lord He, look at this file, do you still remember the case that Bai Zhaoxian handled when he left the Criminal Department?" ”

He Wenhai took the dossier, roughly flipped through it, frowned, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "It's too long, I can't remember clearly, but why are there a few pages missing here?" ”

"Lord He, think about it carefully, if you can remember what kind of case is here, your celebration banquet must be held." Wen Jing's eyes were blazing, and there was an irrepressible desire in his heart, a desire to solve the case.

He Wenhai's eyes also overflowed with a trace of longing, and a faint flush appeared on his cheeks, since he entered the Criminal Department, he has been guarding in peace, and it is not his turn to make great contributions, and after so many years of conscientious work, he has only mixed into a position in Langzhong, this time he finally has an opportunity to make great contributions, so how can he be excited.

"Whoa!" He Wenhai suddenly screamed.

"Remember?!" Wen Jing's face was happy.

He Wenhai was stunned for a moment, and said: "I forgot again, a flash of inspiration flashed in Fang Cai's mind, as if something flashed, but I couldn't remember it." ”

“”

Wen Jing was speechless, and he was happy, but after thinking about it, he didn't do this a lot of the time.

"Why don't you go and ask Lord Shangshu?" Wen Jing said.

"It's useless, Lord Shangshu at that time is long gone, and Lord Shangshu now doesn't know at all." He Wenhai sighed and said.

"You think about it slowly, Lord He, if you think of anything, tell me immediately." Wen Jing said, now he can only hope that He Wenhai will think of it. (To be continued......)
