Thanks to "Sky_ Bicheng" and "Sea Monster" for their tips~Momoda~

——————

When Wen Jing returned home, he found that Scholar Wang was there, and he sighed in his heart, this Scholar Wang must have come for Wang Erlang and her relatives, and this Scholar Wang was really anxious.

"This little thing is still bothering Scholar Wang to run in person, and let Steward Wang come." Wen Qiran said with a smile on his face, sweeping away the haze of the past few days.

"Erlang, this child, his parents died early, his relatives and husband naturally want to have a snack, Qi Niang is a good girl, but she was snatched away by another family when she was late." Wang Xuelin half-jokingly.

Wen Jing became even more anxious when she heard this, how could she refuse this family business?

When Scholar Wang saw Wen Jing, the folds on his face deepened a little.

"Qi Niang has seen Scholar Wang." Wen Jing bowed.

"Okay, I'm going to change my mind in a few days." Scholar Wang quipped, and his joy was palpable.

Wen Jing smiled and lowered her head, but she was very disgusted in her heart, she was very disgusted with this feeling of being at the mercy of others, what kind of parents' orders matchmakers, no one could force anyone she didn't want to marry.

After Wen Qiran sent Scholar Wang away, he came back with a happy face, and looked at Wen Jing, who had a smile away, and the smile on his face was a little more restrained.

"Qi Niang, the scholar of Shicai Wang came to ask for the date in person, the date is set for the sixth day of the next month, which is an auspicious day, and your father and I also feel very good." Mrs. Wen smiled.

"Daughters are up to their fathers and mothers." Wen Jing bowed his head and said.

"Then it's settled, you prepare the dowry. Don't be rude. Wen Qiran said to Mrs. Wen.

Mrs. Wen didn't understand what Wen Qiran said, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, even if the house is poor, it won't lose Qi Niang." ”

The two words of dowry Wen Jing popped out of her mind, could it be that Mrs. Wen was the one who fought this idea, no wonder she did not obstruct this "good family affair".

On the sixth day of the first month of next month, there is less than a month left

Seeing that Mrs. Wen was gone, Wen Qiran looked at Wen Jing and said, "Qi Niang, I believe in the eyes of my father, the girl's family." A lifetime of seeking is stability. Worry-free food and clothing, harmony between husband and wife, filial piety to father and son, for the father to see that Wang Erlang is a good person. Again. You go to the king's house. Old man Wang must help you everywhere, and you can rest assured as a father. ”

Wen Jing nodded, she didn't know how to refute her father's "advice". In a sense, this concept is unrelenting, especially in feudal society, relatively speaking, the Wang family is a good object, but she has no emotional foundation for Wang Erlang, this is a gamble, there are also those who love after marriage, but more resentment

"Little Liuzi, look, is it a holy car trip over there?"

A guard at the gate of Dali Temple watched in amazement as a team of luxurious carriages drove quickly from afar.

"I haven't seen it either, the emperor won't come to our Dali Temple to inspect, right?" Another guard touched his head.

"It shouldn't be, the emperor's trip should be larger than this convoy, and there are guards next to him to protect him." The guard continued.

Before the two spoke, the carriage suddenly stopped at the gate of Dali Temple, the two looked at each other, they really came to Dali Temple, no matter who came, seeing that this plane must be a big man, and hurriedly greeted it.

The sedan curtain opened, and a man in a purple gold-trimmed robe leaned over and walked out, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, and a pair of dark eyes glanced coldly at the guards, and then walked directly towards the gate with no one in his eyes, as if he regarded Dali Temple as his home.

The two guards didn't dare to stop them, and one of them quickly reacted and hurriedly trotted all the way to inform Lord Liang.

When Lord Liang heard this, his face turned dark, he hurriedly put down the tea bowl in his hand, and sorted out the black gauze hat as he walked, Ji Changge and several officials of Dali Temple also followed behind Lord Liang, and the group hurriedly walked out of the house, and the guard also trotted behind him, and his throat grunted, where is this person sacred?

"The lower officials don't know that King Xuan has arrived, and they still hope that King Xuan will forgive his sins." Lord Liang knelt down and said, followed by kneeling on the ground.

"Get up." King Xuan said impatiently, and after speaking, he went straight into the front hall.

"Lord Liang, Lord Ji, my lord has something important to discuss with the two adults." A handsome man beside King Xuan stepped forward and smiled.

Lord Liang and Ji Changge hurriedly followed in, and the rest of the people avoided it with interest.

"Lord Today"

"He Yunxiu, the daughter of He Ruiguang, the squire of the Ministry of War, is missing." Without waiting for Lord Liang to finish asking, King Xuan turned around and said.

Lord Liang and Ji Changge were both taken aback when they heard this: "When did you disappear?" ”

"Three days ago." Xuan Wang Dao.

This He Ruiguang is a squire of the military department, and he is also King Xuan's uncle, and King Xuan's mother Concubine Rong is He Ruiguang's sister.

"Why did you report the crime today?" Ji Changge asked, there was still a sentence left behind, why didn't Lord He come to report the case in person?

King Xuan glanced at Ji Changge coldly: "You don't have to worry about this, just find someone." ”

Ji Changge raised his eyebrows and stopped talking.

Lord Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead, this King Xuan is notoriously short-tempered, just a little bit, this little grandfather and him are a family, and they talk so ruthlessly.

"This king gave you two days, and I couldn't find anyone" King Xuan looked at Lord Liang, then at Ji Changge, and then snorted coldly.

The sweat on Lord Liang's forehead flowed faster, and he said with a bitter face: "Lord Wang, is two days too urgent?"

King Xuan glanced at Lord Liang coldly and said, "Two days is not enough?" Do you want to show this king a corpse? ”

Looking at King Xuan's aggressive gaze, Lord Liang silently closed his mouth.

"Cao Tai, the old horseman who only knows how to pat on the back, this king gave him a day." King Xuan added.

When Lord Liang heard this, he really couldn't cry or laugh, looking at King Xuan's expression, he seemed to be open to him, and you can imagine the picture of the "old horseman" Cao Tai bumping like a headless fly in the Shuntian Mansion.

"Lord Wang. Could you please tell the lower officials in detail when and where Miss Ho disappeared? Who was the last person to see her? It's easy to find someone under the ranks. "Liang Daren.

"You ask the king, who does the king ask?" King Xuan didn't have a good airway.

“”

Lord Liang felt that he was about to collapse, and there were no clues, so where did he go all over the street to find a girl?

"Then the lower official had to go to Lord He to ask about the situation." Ji Changge looked at Xuan Wang Dao.

King Xuan glared at Ji Changge for a long time, and finally spoke: "Lord He doesn't want this matter to be known by outsiders, so this king will report the case for him, this king wants you to do it secretly, and Lord He has already sent someone to look for it." ”

"How does the prince want us to find it?" Lord Liang continued to ask, wiping the sweat from his forehead. I'm afraid that any sentence will provoke King Xuan.

"This king asked you to investigate the case. If this king knows how to find the way, why should he look for you? King Xuan said with a glare.

"Yes, yes, yes." Lord Liang said again and again, he originally meant to ask King Xuan, it was the whole city to search. Or secretly searching. Where have He already searched? I haven't looked for any places yet, but seeing that King Xuan is already impatient, he will only be scolded if he asks again. Xindao, forget it, it's a big deal to have Cao Tai to accompany him.

Wen Jing looked at a few colleagues outside the door with their ears blocked, and then listened to the roar that was louder than the other inside, and said in his heart, who dares to talk to Dali Siqing like this?

Ding Wu whispered to Wen Jing: "King Xuan is inside." ”

King Xuan? Wen Jing searched in her mind and found that she had no impression of this person at all, she should not have seen it before, otherwise with such a bad personality of this person, she would definitely not be completely impressed.

Just thinking about it, the door creaked open, and a man with an impatient face walked out, followed by a man who had been smiling, Wen Jing said, This is the king of Xuan.

King Xuan walked in front of everyone with a squinting gaze, proudly like a peacock with only the screen open, this is Wen Jing's evaluation of him.

Lord Liang and the others followed behind King Xuan.

A guard suddenly hurriedly walked in and said to Lord Liang: "My lord, a female corpse was found on Changning Street in the east of the city. ”

"Take me to see it." Ji Changge's face sank, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Wen Pingshi, come with me." ”

Wen Jing responded.

King Xuan stopped, turned around and said, "This king is going too." ”

"The prince is at his own convenience." Ji Changge left after speaking

Changning Street.

When Ji Changge arrived, he found that a team of soldiers had already blocked the water around the scene, and the onlookers were pointing fingers from afar, but no one dared to speak loudly.

Ji Changge saw He Ruiguang's figure from the horse, it turned out that he also got the news, and took the first step to see if it was his daughter's corpse.

"Let the trouble go, Dali Temple will handle the case." Ding Wu stepped forward and shouted.

Who knew that those soldiers didn't even turn their heads, as if they hadn't heard Ding Wu's voice at all, which made Ding Wu angry, and shouted again: "Dali Temple handles the case, idlers evade it!" ”

The soldiers remained unmoved.

Ding Wu glanced at Ji Changge, he really had no choice, he couldn't rush forward, and he couldn't beat others in a fight.

The soldier suddenly stepped out of the way, and an officer with a tiger's back walked out.

"Why is Lord Ho here?" Ji Changge got off the horse.

"I happened to be passing by, and I heard that there was a female corpse here, so the official came to take a look." He Ruiguang said.

Looking at He Ruiguang's calm and calm gaze, isn't that female corpse He Yunxiu? Ji Changge said in his heart.

"Lord He really cares about the world." Ji Changge smiled, and walked in sideways after speaking.

Wen Jing also walked in, only to find that the ground was empty, with only a few small drops of blood.

"The corpse has already been put away." He Ruiguang said calmly.

Ji Changge was stunned, so it seemed that the female corpse was He Yunxiu, and He Ruiguang's performance was too calm.

"Uncle, is it really Cousin Yunxiu?" King Xuan was surprised.

He Ruiguang nodded.

"I'm sorry, Lord He, you can't take Miss He's body away, Dali Temple will file a case for investigation." Ji Changge watched several soldiers carrying a sack and was about to leave, guessing in his heart that the sack was He Yunxiu's corpse.

He Rui's eyes were cold, and he looked at Ji Changge expressionlessly and said, "Don't bother Lord Ji, this official will deal with it." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at the soldiers. (To be continued......)
