Chapter 158
Seeing the figure of Fu Jun and his party disappearing at the gate of the courtyard, the smile on Wen Zuo's face faded a little, and he said to the study: "Fourth Miss Fu is gone." β
A cold voice came from inside: "It's not that I can't see it, so I don't bother you to remind me." Before he finished speaking, a slender and sturdy figure walked out of the room, but it was a young man wearing a gray servant costume.
Wen Zuo listened to what the young man said, his eyebrows were furious, and the dissatisfied look rolled on his face a few times, and then he took a long breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction, and said in a tone as slow as possible: "Why are you hiding like this?" Haven't Miss Fu ever seen you? β
The boy looked up, revealing a terrifying face. I don't know if it was a scab or a scar on that face, most of the face was black, only the left eye was still normal.
At this moment, the cold gaze shot out of the left eye stayed on Wen Zuo's face, and the young man said coldly: "This matter needs to be secret, except for the general and Lord Wang, no third person can be asked to know." After that, he turned to Wang Xiang and said slightly apologetically: "Lord Wang, please forgive me, it is also out of caution that I will hide my figure." If there is any rudeness, please don't be surprised. β
When Wang Xiang heard this, he stroked his beard and did not speak, but the expression on his face could not be regarded as happy.
Whoever encounters this kind of thing will not be happy. Although he understood the teenager's behavior very well, it was one thing to understand, but it was another thing to feel in his heart.
However, as soon as he thought of the person represented by this young man, Wang Xiang's slight displeasure was immediately replaced by worry.
The young man seemed to sense Wang Xiang's thoughts, and asked, "Lord Wang detained that long follower before, can you ask anything from his mouth?" β
As soon as Wang Xiang heard this, his face showed a little sadness, and he slowly shook his head and said, "I didn't ask anything." The chess test seems to have been extremely rigorously trained, and he is very capable of surviving the punishment, and sometimes he can't ask a word for a day. At this point, he couldn't help but sigh.
Since deducting the chess test, Mr. Nada has tried his best, but he has not asked for any valuable information. Whenever those key questions were asked, the chess test would be silent, and no matter how much he was punished, he couldn't pry his mouth open.
And when asked questions that could be answered, he could say them all. For example, where is the hometown, the population at home, neighborhood acquaintances, etc., all know everything. However, after Mr. Tian checked this information, he found that all of it was true. He also sent people to inquire in person, and the news he received was also true.
Therefore, in the past six months, Qi Kao has been held in a secret detention place. Mr. Tian didn't dare to go often, for fear of being found out by someone with a heart, and the matter came to an impasse. At this moment, the young man asked, and Wang Xiang couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Wen Zuo also knew a thing or two about this matter, and Fu Geng didn't hide it from him. Therefore, when Wang Xiang and the others spoke, they did not open Wen Zuo.
It should be noted that since Fu Geng was rescued from the Qingyang Embankment, Wen Zuo has been automatically branded as "Fu Geng's accomplice".
It is true that Fu Geng has made great contributions, but he has offended many people, so many that it is terrifying. That case brought down no less than dozens of officials, large and small, and the implication was both extensive and dangerous. Especially the young master of the crown prince, Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, and the governor of Jiangxi, they are all officials who have been in the court for many years, although they are dead, but there are not a few of their colleagues, subordinates, protΓ©gΓ©s and others. If Wen Zuo doesn't find someone to hold together as soon as possible, sooner or later he will call someone to calculate.
Even so, Wen Zuo had to close his eyes and heart, and the road went dark. Fu Gengjian is in the heart of the emperor, Wang Xiang has an excellent official reputation, and there are other young officials such as Xie Jun, although the position is not high, but the real power is in hand, and the strength is not weak. The small gang he joined seems to have some future at present.
This time, Fu Geng asked him to bring a letter to Gusu, but it was just a reason, and his main purpose was to ask him to bring someone over to see Wang Xiang, and that person was this mysterious young man. Wen Zuo only knew that his name was Ah Yuan, and he didn't know anything about it.
At this time, I heard the young man named Ah Yuan say coldly: "The chess test is not simple, if Lord Wang wants to pry his mouth open, it is not easy. β
Hearing this, Wang Xiang's face was even more worried, and his two gray eyebrows were almost twisted together.
What he is worried about is not only the chess test, but also other things.
Mr. Na Tian had mentioned to him more than once that he wanted to ask Fu Jun to help interrogate the chess exam.
Mr. Tian has never forgotten Fu Jun's miraculous method of observing faces and colors. He himself had carefully observed the expression of the chess exam. However, he is completely helpless in this regard, and without the blessing of Fu Jun's own experience with plug-ins, no matter how carefully he looks, he can't see anything.
Regarding Mr. Tian's mention, Wang Xiang has not let go.
Wang Xiang always felt that his granddaughter was a poor child. His biological mother died early, and his father couldn't take him with him for various reasons. At a young age, he left his hometown background, sent people under the fence, and tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. Now Fu Geng has continued the strings, and Fu Jun has an extra stepmother and stepsister around him, and it is said that the Zheng family is now pregnant again.
Even if you are the daughter of the Hou Mansion, Fu Jun's life experience is also very embarrassing. Therefore, Wang Xiang was always reluctant to ask Fu Jun to participate in these things.
That's already a very poor child, so why bother to add so many dangers to her miserable life?
However, judging from the current situation, Fu Jun may really have to help with the trial in the end.
Because they didn't open their mouths in the chess test, they still don't know whose half of the hairpin is. Although I also secretly visited and checked the people who had been to Sanjin Hospital that day, I couldn't find any useful clues.
The only thing Wang Xiang can be sure of is that if the owner of the half hairpin is not an outsider, he must still be in the house. Because in the past six months, there have been no fewer servants in the house. In order to stabilize that person and make a breakthrough, Wang Xiang didn't even let those who signed the living deed go, and renewed the contract for another five years. He just wanted to see who would leave in the meantime.
However, the hidden man was very calm, and he didn't even make a move, so that Wang Xiang couldn't do it.
Wang Xiang felt that he was afraid that Fu Jun would have to help with this matter. It's not always an option to drag it out like this.
Seeing the melancholy on Wang Xiang's face and his eyebrows frowning extremely tightly, Ah Yuan didn't continue to ask about this question, but changed the question, lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang, can you let you look at the letter that was searched?" β
Wang Xiang knew that he would make this request, and when he heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, I have a rubbing book in my hand." So saying, he got up and went to the back of the study. The two of them outside only heard a slight sound of furniture moving inside, thinking that Wang Xiang was taking something from a secret compartment somewhere.
Ah Yuan sat down for a while, and didn't talk to Wen Zuo, but only looked around at the furnishings in the room. Wen Zuo looked at it in his eyes, and the more he felt that this young man was very rude, the more dissatisfied the color on his face became. (To be continued.) )
