Chapter 17: High Fever
Wang Er was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and Zhou Cao's family was exiled, in the face of such a result, everyone only felt heavy, originally Wang Er and this Cao Qiulan were a couple, but God made people, killing people has become a fact, and several crimes were punished, and the result was expected, but it was just a pity for Brother Yun.
Yun Ge'er was raised by the uncle's mother-in-law on his behalf, and he couldn't stop crying before leaving, and was forcibly carried into the carriage and left.
Wen Shilang also cried.
"Why is Juro sad?" Wen Qiniang gently wiped away his tears.
"I miss my mother too." Wen Shilang choked up.
Wen Shilang didn't mention it, Wen Qiniang almost forgot the Mrs. Wen who was far away in the capital, the woman who always had a smile on her face, forgot that she was Shilang's mother, and forgot that she also had a daughter Wen Jiuniang who was also as beautiful as a flower.
"Shilang misses his mother, is it okay for the seventh sister to accompany you back to see your mother?"
Wen Shilang immediately turned from worry to joy when he heard this, he was brought up by Wu's mother since he was a child, and his relationship with Mrs. Wen was not deep, but after all, he was hooked out of his mind by Brother Yun, and he was out of control.
"The Seventh Lady is here?" Nie Zhutou's rough voice came from outside the door.
Wen Qiniang walked out of the house, and sure enough, Nie Zhutou strode in, followed by Mother Wu, whose face was slightly displeased.
"Qi Niang has seen Nie Zhutou."
"Qi Niang, how did you know that the murderer was five feet three inches tall and had a disability in his right leg?" Nie Zhutou asked with a slap on his face, when he was trying the case just now, he learned that Zhou Cao's family had not revealed the appearance of the murderer, so he kept holding his breath in his heart, and he immediately came to inquire after dealing with official business.
Wen Qiniang smiled, this Nie head catcher is really urgent.
"First of all, Zhou County's order is to go out alone and secretly, which means that he must be doing something that he doesn't want others to know, nothing more than the words wealth and love, but just imagine, if it is Zhou County's own business, he can wait until the night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, and he doesn't have to go all the way to the forest of Jiming Temple, and assuming that he is the traitor who caught Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou happened to be in Jiming Temple, and we found a broken incense on the ground, which has a motive for killing; Secondly, because it had rained the day before, the soil in the forest was not completely dry, and I remember asking Nie to see the footprints at that time. ”
Nie Zhutou nodded and said, "Yes, at that time, I only saw that this was a big and a small, two footprints, it should be a man and a woman." ”
"That's because you don't observe carefully, there are a lot of footprints on the ground, and if you look closely, you will find that a pair of big footprints that do not belong to Mrs. Zhou's footprints, the depth of the two footprints is different, the right foot is more forceful, and the left foot is serious, I infer that this person has a disease on his legs, but he should be strong, which is also due to Wu County's usual indulgence in wine, and his head is smashed on a stone, which gives convenience to the perpetrator."
Nie Zhutou suddenly realized, with a relieved face, it turned out to be so simple, why didn't he find out at that time?!
Looking at Nie Zhutou's disapproving look, Wen Qiniang smiled bitterly, the mystery was revealed, everything seemed so ordinary, in fact, as long as you carefully observe many unjust cases and solve cases, you can avoid it, and the importance of being a case can be imagined.
Watching Nie Zhutou leave, Mother Wu sighed, and the sorrow on her face was even worse.
"Why is Mother Wu sighing?" Wen Qi Niang asked.
Mother Wu looked at Wen Qiniang, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
Wen Qiniang took a sip of tea and said suspiciously: "Mother Wu, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"Alas, in the past, the old slave was worried that Qi Niang would be bored in the room all day long, afraid that she would get sick, but now the old slave is worried," Wu's mother said worriedly.
Wen Qiniang suddenly realized that she has been too "peaceful" recently, she used to be stuck in the pile of men, and the most common thing she saw every day was male criminal policemen and corpses, but she spent much less time with women, only her best friend Wang Lin and a few female colleagues in the police station.
"Seven Niangzi, don't blame the old slave for talking too much, the final destination of the daughter's family is to find a good husband, having a good reputation can help you, on the contrary, once the reputation is bad, it is a lifetime thing, and now the master is not as powerful as before, everything can only be planned by yourself." Mother Wu said as tears slid down the corners of her eyes, as if she remembered Mrs. Wen's instructions before she died.
"Mother Wu and relax, Qi Niang is fortunate to come back from the ghost gate, she will not live up to this good Shaoguang, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than the original in the capital, having wealth and power is not necessarily a good destination, my mother you have also seen, her life is short, and her father is busy with business all day long, and there are not many days with her, and Mrs. Wen is not to mention, as if she is a widow, otherwise she will not be so ruthless that after her father was demoted, she chose to stay in the capital, in the final analysis, she also has a weak relationship with her father. Marrying, unwilling, consensual, I would rather die alone. ”
After listening to Wen Qiniang's last sentence, Wu Ma was stunned, and her heart jumped suddenly, this seemingly shameless remark actually came out of Wen Qiniang's mouth, marriage is the words of the matchmaker of her parents, how can she choose it yourself, and if she is lonely and old, it is even more rebellious, how can there be a reason for a little lady not to marry.
Wen Qiniang also knew that the ancient people had no way to understand the modern idea of freedom of marriage, but this was her only insistence, and she couldn't understand the meaning of that kind of marriage with different dreams in the same bed.
"Seventh sister, do you think my father will be transferred back to the capital to reinstate because he solved this case?" Wen Banniang looked at Wen Qiniang expectantly.
"It's not good to say this, maybe we can take over, maybe in a few days, the ministry will send a new county commander to take office, this is not something we can decide." Wen Qiniang said with a flat face, as if she didn't care about her business at all.
"Seventh sister, don't you want your father to be reinstated?" Wen Banniang looked at Wen Qiniang with a little anger.
Wen Qiniang smiled, this eighth sister is really moody, but she is much cuter than that fifth sister.
"It's not that the seventh sister doesn't want her father to be reinstated, it's not something we can achieve if we want to, so why bother asking for trouble."
Wen Banniang sighed, it seemed that she didn't like life in Hanjiang County either.
But Wen Qiniang is very content with her current life, she doesn't have much thirst for money and power by nature, the years are quiet, and it is a blessing to be free from illness and disaster.
Wen Wuniang suddenly hurried over, shouting while wheezing.
"Qi Niang, go and take a look, Shilang is sick, and he has been calling Seventh Sister vaguely in his mouth."
When Wen Qiniang heard this, she hurriedly got up and rushed out.
Wen Shilang was lying on the bed, his cheeks were red, his lips were chapped, his mouth was talking nonsense, and his body was covered with a quilt.
"Juro, what's wrong?" Wen Qiniang said anxiously.
"It was fine just now, but suddenly it's like this, maybe yesterday was too frightened and caused the evil wind to be like a body." Wu's mother was shocked.
Wen Qiniang touched Wen Shilang's forehead, it was so hot, at least thirty-nine degrees, hurriedly lifted the quilt, took off all the clothes on Wen Shilang's body, and then ordered someone to carry a bath bucket of warm water into the room and put Wen Shilang in.
"He has a very high heat on his body, so it can help him dissipate heat, I will go to Doctor Lin now, and you will take care of him."
After Wen Qiniang finished speaking, she hurriedly walked out, I don't know if Lin Bai left.
