Another day passed, Ding Wu found a witness, the man said that night at the door of Xinghualou, a drunk man hit him, according to the man's description of the drunkard's appearance, that person was Zhao Shenghua, when the drunkard's forehead was still bloody, suddenly thrown out of it, just hit him, he turned around and was about to scold, then saw the drunk get into a carriage, the carriage did not have any signs or special features, the body was shrouded in a large dark curtain.

Ji Changge deduced that the carriage should have been waiting outside the gate of Xinghualou for a long time, and the murderer who killed Zhao Shenghua was very likely to be in that carriage, since Zhao Shenghua was willing to get on the car, there must be a familiar person in the car, although Zhao Shenghua was drunk, after all, he used to worship the servant of the criminal department, and he would not get on the car without any sense of prevention.

"Has Zhao Yanqiu ever found it?" Ji Changge lowered his eyes and said.

"Lord Hui, according to the road guide issued by Shuntian Mansion, Zhao Yanqiu left the city in the early morning of the second day of Zhao Shenghua's death, and the destination was Qingzhou Mansion, and someone was already sent to chase him." Ding Wudao.

Ji Changge nodded, and could only wait until he found Zhao Yanqiu.

"Look for the carriage covered with black cloth."

"Yes, sir."

Although Wang Jue was released, because of Zhao Shenghua's case, he could not leave the city for the time being, and the matter of sending Jingsheng back to Jiangnan was also shelved, and he went to the Hanlin Academy every day to repair books.

Seeing Wang Jue's somewhat distressed appearance, Wen Jing was surprised: "Why is Seventeen Lang worried? Isn't it your favorite thing to do? ”

Wang Jue sighed: "Naturally, it's not about book cultivation. ”

Looking at Wang Jue's sad appearance, Wen Jing was even more curious. When this tsundere also has troubles, shouldn't he turn a blind eye to officialdom and only focus on cultivating sage books?

"Shengshang seems to be very leisurely recently, he has come to me every day for more than ten days to learn chess skills, and the university scholar doesn't let me win Shengshang, and I can't lose too obviously." Wang Jue said with a depressed face.

Wen Jing pursed her lips and smiled, it turned out that it was because of this that you knew that a companion is like a tiger?

"If the scholar doesn't mention you, what do you want?" Wen Jing said curiously.

Wang Jue looked at the distance and said, "The Shengshang's chess skills are really not very good, I originally planned to win a few games against him." Then he wouldn't come to me every day to play chess. I see that he enjoys it every day, even if he shows a flaw one day. ”

Wen Jing almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, I am afraid that only Wang Jue has such a strange idea in the world, and it is a well-known thing that everyone knows that the saint has a good face. Who doesn't want to die. Dare to win his chess?

"Seventeen Lang. Think twice, have you forgotten that Lord Fang was sent to quell the banditry in Shanxi last month? ”

Wang Jue sighed, Lord Fang, a civil official, was sent to quell the bandits. Although there are military generals with him, but it is also a trip to the tiger's den in Longtan, just because the saint boasts that he has never forgotten, but one morning he confused the words of the two adults, Lord Fang kindly reminded him, and the saint felt a big loss of face, and then a few days after all, he found an opportunity to breathe.

"It's better to dismiss the official."

Looking at Wang Jue's broken jar, Wen Jing smiled dumbly, others couldn't ask for it, can have such an opportunity to please the saint, and the promotion and salary increase are in sight, I'm afraid he is already happy and smiled, he is good, but he dislikes the emperor's troubles, can you be more arrogant?

"Be content, it's difficult for many people to see the saint, you still hate the trouble of the saint, remember to say a few good words for me." Wen Jing is serious.

Wang Jue looked at Wen Jing in surprise, and then nodded solemnly.

While they were talking and laughing, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.

"Miss, uncle, you can be regarded as back, Mrs. was looking forward to your return to Ning a few days ago, and now you have seven moves." He Ma said with a smile on her face, and her hanging eyes narrowed into a line.

"If there is something at home, it will be delayed." Gu Liansheng said lightly.

Wen Jing and Wang Jue walked out, and saw Gu Liansheng and Wen Wuniang walking in, the two of them looked like they were in harmony, followed by a few subordinates, carrying a lot of things in.

"Fifth sister, brother-in-law." Wen Jing stepped forward and called.

This "brother-in-law" made Gu Liansheng's brows frown slightly, and then he stretched and looked at Wen Jing and Wang Jue with a smile.

"Seventh Sister and Lord Wang don't have to go to the yamen today?"

"I'm about to go, now that the fifth sister and brother-in-law are back, it's okay to go later." Wen Jing smiled.

Wang Jue didn't look at Gu Liansheng at all, and looked at Wen Jing gently: "Qi Niang, then I'll go first." ”

Watching Wang Jue's back disappear outside the door, a trace of killing intent flashed in Gu Liansheng's eyes, how can he say that he is also a dignified little marquis, he actually treats him as nothing, but he is just a new champion, and he will come out in three years, he really thinks that he is a national treasure, and he despises him so much, hum, let's see.

Looking at Gu Liansheng's suddenly cold face, Wen Jing said in his heart, he is even troublesome to the emperor, not to mention that you are a little marquis

"Come inside, it's cold outside." Wen Jing smiled.

The three of them walked in, and Wen Qiran and Mrs. Wen were already sitting in the main hall.

"The son-in-law visits his father-in-law and his mother-in-law." Gu Liansheng bowed and bowed.

Wen Qiran hurriedly smiled and said, "Virtuous son-in-law is exempt, please sit down quickly." ”

Mrs. Wen looked at the two of them without a trace while greeting, and when she saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart, such a scene, if Wen Wuniang was replaced by Jiuniang, how good it would be.

Aunt Cui on the side looked at Wen Wuniang and Gu Liansheng, wiped the corners of her eyes, she was still worried that Wen Wuniang would be unpopular, but now it seems that it is much better than she expected, and then glanced at Wen Jing gratefully.

"Taste this fine dragon well." Mrs. Wen laughed.

Wen Wuniang picked up the teacup, but almost spilled the tea, slightly embarrassed, and finally put the teacup on a few more.

"Wu Niang, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Cui said with concern.

Gu Liansheng's eyes tightened, grabbed Wen Wuniang's arm and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Wen Wuniang smiled faintly: "It's not in the way, I just went to bed last night and was numb, and it will be fine in a while." ”

Aunt Cui nodded, and when she saw that Gu Liansheng cared so much about Wu Niang, she was even more relieved.

"Fifth sister, I have some ointment there, why don't you go to my house and I'll help you apply some." Wen Jing smiled.

Wen Wuniang glanced at Wen Jing, paused and said, "Okay." ”

Aunt Cui watched the two walk away, her original injury had not healed, and after sitting for a long time, she felt some pain in her hips, so she also retired.

Mrs. Wen also found an excuse to leave, leaving Wen Qiran and Gu Liansheng Weng Weng to chat, although Wen Qiran didn't like this son-in-law very much, but for the sake of him being good to Wen Wuniang, he also had a good impression in his heart.

Wen Wuniang followed Wen Jing to the bamboo garden.

Entering the house, Wen Jing looked at Wen Wuniang's arm, there was not enough time, so he said directly: "Show me." ”

Wen Wuniang's arm shrank, hesitated, but slowly stretched out.

When she opened her clothes, Wen Jing was stunned for a moment, looking at Wen Wuniang's scars on her arms, which were obviously new wounds, and quickly opened her clothes to see that her body was full of fresh scars, but she didn't expect Wen Wuniang to be so abused.

"How did this happen?"

Wen Wuniang's eyes showed fear: "I don't care about Liansheng, he doesn't know, it's his two concubines"

"Gu Liansheng doesn't care if you see it?" Wen Jing was surprised, if you want to say that outsiders can't see it, don't Gu Liansheng, who sleeps in the same bed, know either?

Wen Wuniang lowered her head, biting her lip but didn't say a word.

"He favors those two concubines?" Wen Jing asked.

Wen Wuniang couldn't hold back any longer, sobbed, and said in a low voice: "Since I entered the Hou Mansion, he has never touched me at all. ”

Wen Jing was slightly surprised, but it was not surprising that the two concubines dared to bully Wen Wuniang so blatantly, they must have relied on Gu Liansheng's momentum, and the affection between the two of them was just pretending to be for the Wen family, such a marriage was really sad.

Although Wen Wuniang is a little vulgar, her appearance is already considered to be in the middle and upper ranks among the women of the official family in the capital, even if she is a concubine, she can't be beaten like this at will, this Gu Liansheng is too deceitful, is it really easy to pinch the Wen family as a soft persimmon?

The anger in Wen Jing's heart suddenly rose: "It's better not to have such a man, there are many men in the world, why should you embarrass yourself?" ”

Wen Wuniang smiled bitterly and shook her head: "This is something I got with great difficulty, even if I have an empty name, I have to survive." ”

Wen Jing sighed, it's all like this, and she is still thinking about the position of Mrs. Hou, she wants to save face and not to be guilty, she doesn't know what to say, everyone has their own ambitions.

"There's something here, and it's good for you to put it to good use." Wen Jing took out a few small bottles from the medicine box.

Wen Wuniang looked at the bottles and cans in her hand, and Wen Jing told her which ones were drugs, which ones were anesthetics, and there was a spice for aphrodisiac.

"How to use it, I believe I don't need to teach you, right?" Wen Jing smiled and said, it's not her Virgin, it's better to have multiple friends than multiple enemies, and maybe there will be a time when this Mrs. Hou will be needed in the future.

Wen Wuniang was overjoyed, with these things, maybe she could still have a foothold in the Hou Mansion, as long as she had an heir, it would not be easy to drive her out first.

"Let's go, otherwise they will be suspicious, so hide it." Wen Jing said.

Wen Wuniang nodded: "Qi Niang, in the past, my sister couldn't stand you in some places, and if my sister can be rich and rich in the future, I will definitely not forget you." ”

Wen Jing smiled and pushed the door open, but was surprised to find Aunt Cui standing outside the door.

"Mother, why are you here?" Wen Wuniang was surprised.

"Wu Niang, my mother can't help you with anything, you have to rely on yourself." Aunt Cui wiped her tears and said.

"Mother, don't worry, next time my daughter will come back in a beautiful way." Wen Wuniang said with a smile.

Gu Liansheng saw Wen Wuniang walking out with a smile on her face, and the faint anger between her eyebrows disappeared, and said with a smile: "Wuniang, let's go home." ”

Wen Wuniang smiled and nodded, and the two said goodbye.

Sending Gu Liansheng and Wen Wuniang away, Wen Jing could almost foresee that in the past few days, the Hou Mansion would probably not be peaceful. (To be continued......)
