Chapter 229: Missing
Looking at the handmaidens who gathered around, Wen Jing smiled: "Don't the county lord know that house arrest is a serious crime?" ”
Ji Yunxi's expression was stunned, and then he smiled: "How can this be called house arrest, it's just to invite Lord Wen to be a guest in the mansion." ”
The smile on Wen Jing's face suddenly disappeared, his eyes revealed horror, and he said loudly: "I have something urgent, get out of the way!" ”
Looking at Wen Jing's appearance, Ji Yunxi said viciously: "Don't pretend, you can leave after you swear!" ”
Under Ji Yunxi's eyes, several maids stepped forward to stop Wen Jing, but they were afraid of Wen Jing's identity and didn't dare to really catch her.
Looking at the cowering crowd, Wen Jing sneered: "If any of you want to eat the food of the prison of the Criminal Department, then come!" ”
Seeing Wen Jing suddenly seem to be a different person, Ji Yunxi was a little uncertain, but seeing Wen Jing's anxious appearance, the evil thoughts in his heart suddenly rose, if you want to leave, I won't let you go.
"Catch her for me, and bear it with the lord of this county!" Ji Yunxi shouted.
"You dare to attack the imperial officials!" Wen Jing pulled out the scalpel from his sleeve.
Looking at the scalpel in Wen Jing's hand, the knife surface flashed with a burst of cold light, and Wen Jing's eyes did not have the slightest temperature, and several handmaidens looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward.
Looking at the scalpel in Wen Jing's hand, the eldest princess looked horrified, and hurriedly grabbed Ji Yunxi: "Yunxi, let Master Wen go." ”
Ji Yunxi is not a cowardly master, and when he saw the scalpel in Wen Jing's hand, he became excited: "Lord Wen broke into our mansion with a knife and wanted to assassinate the county lord, I don't know who the emperor's uncle will believe?" ”
Wen Jing was anxious. Then he said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't you just want me to swear a poisonous oath, but I hope you won't regret it in the future." ”
"Definitely not, send it, you can go." Ji Yunxi's eyes showed the pride of victory.
"I, Wen Jing, swear to heaven that I will never step into the Ningguo Mansion from now on, and I will never marry"
Looking at the eagerness in the eyes of Ji Yunxi and the eldest princess, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Wen Jing's mouth, and Ji Changge's warm and jade-like face flashed in his mind, and he paused and continued: "I will never marry Ji."
"Ouch. What are you doing? An old lady suddenly walked in through the door. Shouter.
"Grandma?" Ji Yunxi looked at Mrs. Ji who suddenly ran in.
"Old Ancestor, why are you here?" The eldest princess hurriedly stepped forward to hug Mrs. Ji.
"If you don't come, my granddaughter-in-law will let you lose it!" Old Madam Ji said angrily, and stomped her cane on the ground a few times.
"Qi Niang, are you here to see my old woman?" Old Madam Ji turned to Wen Jingdao.
Hurriedly put away the scalpel in his hand. Wen Jing squeezed out a smile. Suddenly knelt down and said, "I've seen the old ancestor." Qi Niang is in a hurry, next time I come to the house to ask the ancestor for peace, and I hope that the old ancestor can lend the carriage to Qi Niang. ”
Old Madam Ji didn't ask much. helped Wen Jing up and said to the housekeeper behind him: "Send the Wen family's Qi Niang to wherever she wants." ”
"Thank you, old lady." Wen Jing looked at Old Madam Ji gratefully and said.
The maid on the side stepped aside, and Wen Jing followed the housekeeper out.
"Yunxi, what are you doing here? Which family rule of the Ji family taught you to bully others? Old Madam Ji's face turned cold, and she looked at Ji Yunxi and said.
Ji Yunxi hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake, although the old ancestor was usually a little crazy, but he had always been strict with her since she was a child, so she avoided the old lady.
"Ancestor, it's all the daughter-in-law's fault, you punish the daughter-in-law." The eldest princess was busy.
"You don't have to be busy taking all the faults, I'm old, but I'm not confused, just because we owed Chu Sanniang back then, you can't treat her daughter like this." Old Madam Ji sighed and said.
Ji Yunxi's face was full of doubts, she didn't understand why her grandmother was better to an outsider than to her, but she didn't have the courage to lose her temper with Mrs. Ji, and she tasted a little: "What does our family owe her?" ”
"It's not good for children to ask so much about what to do." The eldest princess glared at Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi flattened her mouth and lowered her head.
"Qi Niang and Fei Ran's affairs, you don't have to worry about it, let it be, besides, you may not be able to stop it, don't let Fei Ran hate you, if it wasn't for the old man's insistence, Hengwen wouldn't know whether he was alive or dead." Old Madam Ji said while wiping her tears.
The eldest princess's eyelids jumped, and her heart also woke up.
"Old Ancestor, don't be sad, Fourth Uncle, he may be back soon, beware of your own body."
"That's it, the past is still mentioned in the past, cherish the people in front of you."
"Yes, what the ancestors taught."
Watching the eldest princess help Mrs. Ji to leave, Ji Yunxi got up, rubbed her legs, and thought angrily, Okay, you Wen Qi Niang, this time you let you hide again, when will this old lady not come, but come at this time, could it be that she has clairvoyance, and she can't listen to the wind
Ning Guogong's carriage rushed to the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites again, and everyone was talking along the way, what happened to Ning Guogong today, as if he was rushing to reincarnate.
Wen Jing got out of the carriage and hurriedly walked in.
"Did Lord Wen come today?" Wen Jing grabbed an official and said.
"Here we are." That's humane.
Wen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but heard the man say again: "But after a while, he hurried out again, just like you are now, and I ignored me when I asked him where he went." ”
His face turned pale, and Wen Jing was stunned for a moment, there was only one question left in his mind, where would they arrest his father
"Who are you, little lady? What's the matter with Lord Wen? ”
Wen Jing's mind was buzzing, and he hurriedly walked out again, and after getting into the car, he shouted to the horseman: "Go to the Hanlin Academy!" ”
The groom nodded, and whipped the tired horse, which was sore and ran forward.
With her hands firmly propped up on the wall of the car, Wen Jing finally knew what she always felt was missing these days, she ignored that Wen Qiran had also been a waiter in the Criminal Department, and had also investigated the case twelve years ago, and the insiders of that case died one after another, Zhao Shenghua, Gao Chengxi, Bai Zhaoxian, and Zhong Sun Yan
The next one is Wen Qiran
Ji Changge escorted her to and fro, but Wen Qiran didn't think about his safety, even Wen Jing didn't realize this, let alone other people, Wen Qiran himself probably didn't think about it, he didn't know anything at all, but those people wouldn't think so.
"Lord Wen, it's here."
Wen Jing got out of the car and hurriedly walked in.
Wang Jue looked at Wen Jing, who was still in the dust and dust, with an abrasive cloth tied to his legs, limping in and being surprised: "Qi Niang, why are you injured again?" ”
"Don't worry about it so much, come with me." Wen Jing pulled Wang Jue and said.
"Okay." Wang Jue threw down the scroll in his hand and followed Wen Jing out, leaving everyone who had not had time to react.
As soon as he got into the car, Wen Jing lowered his voice and said, "I suspect that my father was arrested, think about it, where will they kidnap my father?" ”
"Why did they kidnap Lord Wen?" Wang Jue asked.
"Maybe I think my father knows something and wants to kill him, or maybe he wants to lure me over."
Apart from these two points, Wen Jing couldn't think of any other reason.
"Let's go back to the Wen family first to see if Master Wen is in the mansion, or if the bandits have anything to say." Wang Jue said.
"Hmm." Wen Jing nodded, with Wang Jue here, her heart was a lot more stable, the authorities were confused, the person who had the accident was Wen Qiran, she was a little flustered, although she was not her biological father, but she lost her father since she was a child in her previous life, and Wen Qiran gave her the warmth of her family, not father and daughter, especially father and daughter.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Wen's mansion, and Wen Jing and Wang Jue got off.
"Has the master ever been home?" Wen Jing looked at Zhou Quandao.
Zhou Quan looked at Wen Jing's appearance, and hurriedly shook his head: "The master has not come back, what's wrong with the master?" ”
"Has anyone ever brought in a letterhead or something?"
Zhou Quan still shook his head.
Wen Jing's face was a little ugly, if it was to lure her into the bait, the gang would definitely send a note and let her go to such and such a place alone, at least Wen Qiran was safe for the time being, but now she didn't receive any note, and the purpose of those people might just be to kill Wen Qiran.
"Don't worry, let's go to Dali Temple to find Ji Changge first and discuss the possible location." Wang Jue said softly.
Wen Jing raised his eyes: "He was poisoned by a snake and fell unconscious, go to the punishment department." ”
Wang Jue was slightly surprised, looking at Wen Jing's appearance, he could already guess the approximately.
"Thoughtful, prepare the car."
In the car.
Wang Jue looked at the wound on Wen Jing's leg: "You were bitten by a snake?" Where did you just go? ”
Wen Jing told Wang Jue what happened in Zhuangzi.
"It's strange, why does this kind of snake Western Regions color viper breed in large numbers on Zhuangzi alone, and I haven't heard of being bitten by this snake anywhere else." Wang Jue was puzzled, he had only read this kind of book in the book.
Wen Jing shook his head: "The last time I was kidnapped there, I didn't find this kind of snake. ”
"The snake is afraid of fire, and there are many torches around you the night you went, and this time it is daytime, and although the snake does not like to be active during the day, perhaps your actions have angered the snake, and they have taken you as an attacker." Wang Jue analyzed.
"Some of the herbs I was carrying that night may also be the reason why the snakes did not dare to come near me, but the point is not here, the point is why these snakes appeared on the Zhuangzi? Could it be that Gao Chengxi raised it before? Wen Jing said.
Wang Jue shook his head: "Gao Chengxi is just a pig killer, this kind of snake is too precious and rare, he shouldn't have any chance to get in touch with it, and it is raised on such a large scale, and with Gao Chengxi's state of being a soldier at that time, it is impossible for him to raise this highly poisonous thing by his side, there is only one possibility for this kind of snake, and that is left by the person who killed him." ”
Thinking of the wounds of Zhongsun Yan and Bai Zhaoxian, Wen Jing affirmed Wang Jue's opinion, which can also prove that Zhong Sun Yan's death is also related to the death of Bai Zhaoxian and Gao Chengxi. (To be continued......)
