Chapter 175: The Situation of Danger
Although he knew that Man Jiangyan must have Lord Wei to testify, Quanzhi still went to visit Lord Wei in person.
"That day Manniang has been with me, we drank a lot of wine, I was drunk and unconscious in the middle of the night, and when I got up in the morning, the clothes were still Manniang gave me to wear, that little hand, but I have ever seen the weakest and boneless, smooth and fine skin and tender flesh......"
The more Master Wei spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he seemed to be eager to go to Qingfeng Tower again!
Quanzhi didn't bother to listen to him again, in fact, it was expected to get such a result, and he was not much disappointed, but he originally thought that the truth of the case was about to surface, but now it has become a fog, and then thinking of the emperor's attention to this matter, Quanzhi is one head and two big, and he is annoyed.
Wei Zheng's heart has always been towards Man Jiangyan, and now that Master Wei also testified that it was impossible for Man Jiangyan to commit the crime that night, he persuaded Quan Zhi: "My lord, the lower officials think that since Man Niang has no time to commit the crime, then this matter cannot be her, so it is better to let her go." ”
Man Jiangyan has not yet gotten rid of suspicion, so she is temporarily detained in the office.
Quanzhi also knew that even if he left Manniang, there would be no result, so he agreed.
Wei Zheng happily took this matter on himself, and as soon as he returned to the office, he immediately went to the cell.
Man Jiangyan looked pitiful and pitiful, looking very pitiful.
"Manniang, you have suffered, Lord Wei has already testified for you, this matter cannot be done by you, and the whole adult doesn't know what to think, you are a weak woman, gentle and kind, how could you do such a cruel thing, I have always believed that this matter has nothing to do with you."
Man Jiangyan pouted aggrievedly. "But the adults still let the little girl spend it in prison, it is cloudy and cold here, and the adults are not afraid of frightening the little girl."
Where can Allwinner stand her being so coquettish. The whole heart melted, and he flattered: "Don't worry, I will definitely wash away your grievances, and this is also to blame on that Anren, if it weren't for her, the whole adult would not suspect you." ”
Man Jiangyan's eyes flashed slightly, and he wondered: "Anren? But the Anren of Luoxia Garden? ”
Wei Zheng had a hint of disgust. Especially when I thought of the reason why Man Jiangyan was like this, it was the words that the An people said, and I was angry.
"It's not her. often wears a veil and refuses to see people, I'm afraid that I'm too scary to come out, disgusting people...... Come out quickly, I'll have a carriage to take you back, and get a good night's rest when you get back." Forget about today's unpleasant events. ”
Man Jiangyan sighed. "Go back at this time, I'm afraid Qingfeng Tower is closed, so your lord should send me to the inn."
"Inn? How can you let a woman go to the inn? Wei Zheng thought for a while and said tentatively: "Then why don't you stay overnight at the office?" I asked the girl to prepare a good room. ”
Man Jiangyan was happy at first, and then said embarrassedly: "It's so troublesome!" ”
"Don't bother, don't bother, I'll call someone to prepare immediately, and the girl will come out first!" Wei Zheng's happy face bloomed, what trouble is this. He wished for it.
Man Jiangyan walked out of the cell and said suspiciously: "This An person and I don't have any deep hatred. Why did she wronged me? ”
Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this, it seems that I can only ask again." ”
"Thank you, then, sir!" After taking two steps, she said again: "I don't know about this Anren, I only know that her relationship with the Ling Mansion should be good." ”
Wei Zheng was puzzled: "Why did the girl say this?" ”
Man Jiangyan recalled, "I have seen the stewards of Luoxiayuan enter and leave the Ling Mansion many times, and I thought that the relationship between the two families was very good. ”
"Why?"
Man Jiangyan thought about it again and said, "I am familiar with the second miss of the Ling Mansion, but I can ask her, since Liang Kai is in and out of the Ling Mansion, it is impossible for the second miss of Ling not to know." ”
Wei Zheng was overjoyed: "This statement is reasonable. ”
Another person saw Liang Yi entering and leaving the Ling Mansion? If one person said it, it might not be very likely, but if two people said it, it was very possible, he felt that he smelled something, and hurriedly took Man Jiangyan out of the cell, and then went to Quanzhi to say Man Jiangyan's words to Quanzhi.
"My lord, the lower officials really think this matter is suspicious.
The husband has no grievances or enmity with the Ling Mansion, it is impossible to talk nonsense at will, and he doesn't have the guts.
As for Man Niang, she saw with her own eyes that Liang Kai had been to Ling Mansion, so in this way, Ling Fu and Liang Kai were lying.
But why are they lying? It's not that the two families can't know each other, so why hide their acquaintance? There must be some ulterior secret.
The lower officials suspected that it was Liangqi who colluded with the Ling Mansion and killed a group of people in Luoxiayuan. ”
Quanzhi frowned and was displeased: "Do you still want this official to lose face in front of the emperor?" Is it that if the official is demoted, you can find a way forward? ”
Wei Zheng was anxious: "My lord said this, but he really wronged the lower official, the lower official has evidence, the second miss of Ling Mansion."
Manniang said, if Liangqi has appeared, maybe the second lady has seen it, it is better for us to go to the gate of Lingfu again, only this time, we will go to see Mrs., not Mrs. Lao. ”
Quan Zhi was a little moved in his heart, if it was really as Wei Zheng said, if the second lady of Ling Mansion had really seen Liangqi, then ......
But when you think about it, who will turn their elbows outward. He said angrily: "No brain, even if Second Miss Ling sees it, will she still testify to correct her own family?" You're a fool! ”
Wei Zheng was stunned, yes, he was happy just now, thinking that Miss Ling Er might be able to testify, but he forgot the identity of the latter.
He sighed dejectedly, and for the first time felt that he might really be brainless, and said in a low voice: "What the adults have taught is that the lower officials have not thought it through. ”
Just as he was about to retreat, suddenly Quanzhi stopped him, and there was a slight glint in his eyes.
"Wait, this thing, maybe there's a play."
Quanzhi lost all the clues and was unwilling to just let this one go, so the next day, he went to Lingfu.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, before he entered the mansion, the little servant said that Ling Shandao was not there, and he just turned to say that there was something important, and it was okay to find his wife.
The little guy took him to Qinxin Garden, and Zou has recently gained some weight, and his mobility is becoming more and more inconvenient. He has been on bed rest, and in order to avoid suspicion, Allwinner only sits down in the outhouse. Say hello to Zou.
"It's rude to come rashly, but I just asked if I had something important."
Zou said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just ask, but the women don't have much knowledge, so I'm afraid I won't be able to answer." ”
Quan Zhi said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask Mrs. and Second Miss, have you seen this person in the mansion?" ”
Cai Ju took the portrait in his hand. Entered the back room.
There was silence in the room for a long time, so long that Quanzhi almost thought that Zou would not answer, and then heard a soft voice asked inside: "I don't know what the adults are asking this person to do?" ”
"That's the case...... Quanzhi explained with a smile, "Miss Ling said that the Ling Mansion has dealings with Luoxia Garden. This person has also been to the Ling Mansion many times.
This official is also to rule out the suspicion of Ling Mansion, after all, if Ling Mansion and Luoxia Yuan have a very good relationship, then naturally there will be no murder. ”
As he said this, the back room seemed visibly relieved. Zou smiled: "Yes." The adult is wise, the little girl said that she has indeed seen this person come to Ling Mansion, but she went to Lan Pavilion, and she has no connection with our side, Fusheng did not lie, and it is impossible for us to do that kind of thing, if there are any bad rumors outside. Please clarify by all means. ”
"It's nature." With a sneer on the corner of Quanzhi's mouth, he went around and around. Everything is back to square one, last time I let the good boy escape, this time, it's not so easy.
In order to be sure, he asked again: "Second Miss is sure that she has seen this person, in fact, you don't have to admit that you haven't seen it, after all, even if Second Miss doesn't know, we won't condemn Ling Mansion, after all, it is a century-old family, and the emperor also trusts the Ling family." ”
Ling Hui affirmed: "I have indeed seen it, this person's name is Liangqi." Every time I entered through the back door, every time I went to Sister Lan Ge's house.
I thought it was the employment of my sister's side, but I didn't expect it to be the person from Luoxia Garden. It seems that my sister's relationship with Luoxiayuan is really good.
I heard that my sister's side Oriyu had a quarrel with Luoxiayuan, and I was worried about what would happen. ”
Quan Zhi smiled even more, and got up to salute, "The official understands it, and hears it clearly, Mrs. and the second lady are relaxed, maybe they will find the two of them to testify at that time, but don't worry about anything, the official promises to just announce the truth of the matter to the public, and will not deliberately disadvantage the Ling Mansion."
In addition, in order not to leak information so that the murderer would notice anything, he also asked his wife and second lady to keep this matter secret for the time being, and no one in the house could say anything.
This official suspected that it was the mouthy people in the mansion before, and it was rumored that there was a conflict between the Ling Mansion and Luoxia Yuan, which caused the people to misunderstand. ”
Zou nodded again and again, and asked Cai Ju to send Quanzhi out of the house.
As soon as Quanzhi left, the weaving fan hiding outside the Qinxin Courtyard hurried back to the Lan Pavilion.
"Miss, the maid was afraid of being discovered if she was close, so she was a little farther away, and I couldn't hear what they said, but Quanzhi's expression when she left made the maid worried."
Ling Yi smiled and didn't care: "You don't have to listen to it to know what they said, it seems that this girl is trying to get rid of me by all means, and it really takes a lot of effort." ”
"Miss, what should we do now? Although the road guards stole the face towel from Man Jiangyan, now Jing Zhaoyin's gaze has been shifted to the Ling Mansion and to you. ”
The weaving fan was silent for a moment, and then said: "If you are really cornered, it is better to simply admit the identity of Tsuji Niang, so that you can explain why Liang Yi appeared in the Ling Mansion." ”
Zhi Yu disagreed, "It's not the last moment, how can you make such a plan, not to mention that in this way, you will fall into Man Jiangyan's plan."
Not to mention the identity of Tsuji Niang, the country of Eight Sounds will not be able to stay, Zou Quan will also doubt our motives, if he is aware of the eldest lady's plan, it will be more and more difficult in the future.
The most important thing is that you don't forget that there are still a bunch of people who are eyeing Ling Mansion, Tsuji Niang is an Anren who was personally crowned by the emperor, if she is sued to the emperor by someone with a heart, then the eldest lady will be guilty of bullying the king, and Ling Fu will also be implicated. ”
Weaving Fan's eyes widened in astonishment, and his face turned slightly pale: "Then what should I do?" Is there a corner? ”
Weaving Yu's worried gaze fell on Ling Yi, the elegant woman who seemed to stay out of the matter from beginning to end, can really only look at the eldest lady now.
It's just that how to solve such a dangerous situation? (To be continued......)
