Chapter 119: Dead
Wang Weichuan took Mrs. Yu's handwritten letter and quickly left Chuzhou and rushed to Haozhou.
He was born in a wealthy township, and he usually suffered almost nothing, and he had endless money, so his life was smooth. Now that the good dream has been destroyed by Liu Yongan's brothers and sisters, and I heard that as long as this letter is handed over to Yu Zhengchang, Yu Xiang will promote him, so he can't take care of it at the moment, and he has been busy on the road, even if the sun is already setting in the mountains when he passes by Dingyuan County, he is not willing to stop and rest.
As a result, he barely managed to reach Fan Gang, and it was dark.
Both the coachman and the nurse said that it was not safe at night, and advised him to stay in Fangang for one night and leave tomorrow, but he felt that these people were stealing and playing tricks and did not obey orders, and insisted on hurrying.
But he didn't know that this area was close to the mountains and forests, and there were so many wild wolves that it was difficult to catch food in winter, so he hunted in groups in the mountains and forests on the side of the road, and no one dared to pass by here at night.
Although Wang Weichuan was in a carriage, he was not allowed to stop and rest along the way, and the mule that had been running for a day was exhausted, and was soon killed by two hungry wolves that rushed up.
The wolves swarmed up, and a large mule was soon gnawed to a pile of bones.
Although Wang Weichuan also brought two courtyards, these people usually bully the common people, but when they met a fierce wolf, they were so frightened that they collapsed in the carriage, and were viciously pounced on and bitten to death, dragged to the grass and eaten.
It wasn't until the next day, when passers-by passed by and saw the carriage and the bones, that they realized that someone had suffered misfortune, and found the letter in the grass.
When the man saw this letter, he suddenly laughed, and after laughing for a while, he ordered the entourage that followed: "You go back to Haozhou and give this letter to Lord Liu of Governor Liu's Mansion." ”
The guard quickly sent the letter to Liu Chengfang, and although Liu Chengfang wondered how the Shen family could send him a letter, he still asked about the situation carefully, gave the guard a generous reward, and invited him to the side hall for tea.
After he finished reading the letter, he hurriedly found the guards of the Shen family, and said solemnly: "The great grace of the prince, Liu has nothing to repay, if there is a mistake in the future, but please command, the Liu family will obey the fate." ”
In any case, the Liu family owes the Hou Shizi of Jinghai a favor, so he can't help but express his position.
Shen Ba heard this, smiled and went back to his life. Liu Chengfang realized that his back was soaked.
He was in a mess all day, and he didn't even have the heart to deal with official business, so he hurried home when he arrived at the lower office, and learned that Liu Yongan's brother and sister had returned, so he called the two directly to the study, and gave the letter to Liu Yongan without saying a word.
There is no signature on the outer skin of the letter, but there is a self-proclaimed name of "Wang Yu's" inside.
Liu Yongan was also shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "It's all my son's fault, I didn't know that people's hearts would be so sinister." "It's all because he was too careless, he knew early on that old pious woman was terrible, but he didn't expect it to be so terrible, harboring the rebels of the previous dynasty and conspiring against him, if this letter goes into the hands of others, the consequences are unimaginable.
Wang Jing also read the letter, "May I ask where did this letter come from?" ”
Liu Chengfang was much kinder to his daughter, and said the news he got from Shen Ba word for word.
Wang Jing was also secretly frightened when she heard this, "Why don't you ask the Zhao family about the situation?" Chuzhou now just needs to find someone to monitor the Wang family, and I will write a letter to my husband. As for the Shen family, I'm afraid they just want us to stand on their side and find an opportunity to impeach the Yu party. The emperor is getting older, and when his father's term of office expires and he goes to the capital to report on his work, he will inquire, if he can really help him, it is not impossible for us to help the Shen family. The most important thing is to find out who died on the Wang family's side, if the Yu family and Wang Weichuan died together, then there would be nothing. ”
Liu Yongan instructed Liubai and Shuangxi to do this, they have kung fu in their bodies, they can go high and high, and there is no lack of self-protection ability in case of trouble, "If the Wang family still doesn't know that people are dying on the road, you can find a way to spread the news."
Liubai came back after a day, "The dead people are Wang Weichuan, two nurses, and a coachman." ”
Wang Jing sneered, "He didn't take that letter to threaten our family, or he wanted to find Yu Zhengchang to tell him, which can be regarded as self-inflicted and deserved!" ”
"Mrs. Yu vomited blood when she heard the news, and now she is lying in bed, unable to take care of herself or speak." Liubai added, "Mr. Wen also wrote you a letter. As he spoke, he handed the letter to Wang Jing, with a very beautiful box.
Wen first expressed the gratitude of the husband and wife to her, and then focused on the issue of Mrs. Wang's serious illness, and finally brought up the fact that Wang Sanbao recorded her in the family tree. He also mentioned a box and told her that it was full of jewelry, and asked her not to refuse.
"If you refuse, you will look down on your brother and sister-in-law!" Wen deliberately emphasized this sentence.
Wang Jing opened the box, and the jewelry inside included gold, silver, jade, and pearls, all of which were not particularly valuable, but they were all fashionable.
Wang Jing generously accepted it and took it to the Zhang family for her to choose, but she didn't dare to tell her that the Wang family had recorded her in the family tree.
Zhang said: "This is all brought by a little girl, I wear these people at such an age, people want to laugh." ”
Wang Jing laughed, "You are now the prefect lady of the fourth grade, if you don't wear jewelry, people will say that you deliberately pretend to be poor." As he spoke, he picked up a jade bracelet with a whole body and put it on Zhang's hand.
Zhang said: "You kid, this is the most valuable thing in this box, you will choose." ”
Wang Jing said: "Whether it's worth it or not comes second, don't you all say that Dai Yu is safe?" My daughter wants you to do everything well. ”
Zhang is pregnant with a child, and this can be regarded as a heartfelt statement. There is no objection.
Wang Jing took a pair of gold wire heads, a ruby head, "My mother is white, so I wear this to show her wealth." If you don't want this, we'll have to go to the silver building to pick it up. The silver we earned this year is enough to buy a lot of jewelry, so don't worry about anything else, just raise your baby with peace of mind. ”
When it comes to children, Zhang remembered that Wang Jing said that he was a younger brother when he was a brother last time, and it was really a younger brother, "In your opinion, is it a younger brother or a younger sister this time?" ”
Wang Jing smiled and said, "How can you say this accurately?" But I wish it was my brother. ”
After talking for a while, she saw that Zhang was a little tired, so she came out.
Hongyun came over to tell her that many restaurants have recently launched hot pot to steal business.
Wang Jing said: "This is not simple, in the future, if you spend more than ten taels of silver, you will get a plate of vegetarian dishes, you can choose by yourself." Speaking of hot pot, she remembered that on the way to Chuzhou, the Li family pretended to be a relative of the prefect, and told Hongyun about it. They do this, thinking I can't help it, right? Or do they think I'm staying at home and don't know? Liubai has just returned from Chuzhou, and they are still going their own way. This is the second time I've been caught. ”
Hongyun's face flushed with shame, and said, "I'll go back and tell them to go." ”
Thinking that the Li family didn't admit such a thing at all, Hongyun was angry and didn't dare to tell Wang Jing. But the paper couldn't contain the fire in the end, and when Shuangxi came back at the end of the month, he was talking about the hot pot again, "Those people are still saying that it is our branch of Yipinxiang, and they also say that the boss is a girl." Seeing that Wang Jing's face was slightly cold, he said, "Mrs. Yu is dead, and Mr. Wen asked if you want to give her incense." (To be continued.) )
