In the evening, the sunset was shining, and the entire Wen Mansion was in an afterglow, so it was not hazy.

Just when Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er were enjoying the sunset in the courtyard, Nangong Yin and Nangong Yan walked over with a man, although Su Wuming didn't ask, he knew that the man was Xia Jie at a glance.

Nangong Yin pushed Xia Jie, then looked at Su Wuming and said, "I arrested this person for you, just ask if you have anything to say!" ”

Su Wuming nodded, and was about to ask a question, at this time, Nangong Yan said with some anger: "This Xia Jie, it's really hateful, he wasn't there when I went to his house to look for him, my brother sent someone to find him, he was actually there, isn't it not that I don't give Miss Ben face, hateful!" ”

At this time, Xia Jie looked nervous, and a little low, and begged for mercy again and again: "A few young ladies and young ladies have not done anything evil here, you have taken me here like this, the villain is really unknown!" ”

Nangong Yan snorted coldly, and glanced at Su Wuming: "You ask!" ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly: "Are you Xia Jie?" ”

"The villain is Xia Jie!"

"Let me ask you, you met with Shang Que in Wen Mansion a few days ago, what did Shang Que ask you to do?"

After Su Wuming asked this sentence, Xia Jie's face was hesitant and embarrassed, and he said, "This ...... How can I say this, this ...... I can't say enough about that! ”

As soon as he heard Xia Jie not say anything, Nangong Yin suddenly snorted coldly: "If you don't say it, this young general will behead you as a murderer!" ”

Nangong Yin threatened, Xia Jie immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Don't be, I said it's not okay, that's the case, the business housekeeper fell in love with a young woman, and asked me to be a lobbyist to probe the woman's father's tone, and promised to thank him after the matter was completed, I knew the woman's father, so I thought about asking." ”

What Xia Jie said and Shang Que couldn't find out, and at this time, Su Wuming asked again: "What is the result?" ”

"I went to ask, but Daddy Zhang is still hesitating, after all...... After all, the business housekeeper is much older than Daddy Zhang's woman, although Daddy Zhang loves money, he can't help but think about his daughter! After Xia Jie finished speaking, he still looked worried.

Su Wuming frowned slightly, and then looked Xia Jie up and down, he found that Xia Jie's fingers kept turning, it seemed that it was not because of nervousness but habit, Su Wuming saw this, smiled lightly, and then said to Nangong Yin: "Brother Nangong, do you still have something to ask?" ”

Nangong Yin was not interested in this Xia Jie at all, so he said disdainfully: "Where do I want to ask him, if you don't have anything to ask, I'll let him go!" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "Since Brother Nangong has nothing to ask, let him go." ”

After letting Xia Jie leave, Nangong Yan wanted to play with Su Wuming and them, and let Nangong Yin go back first, but just after Nangong Yin was about to leave, Su Wuming suddenly stopped him and said with a smile: "There is still something to bother Brother Nangong!" ”

Nangong Yin was a little impatient, but he lost the bet, and it was not easy to attack, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Send someone to investigate Xia Jie to see if he is a gambler!"

"He's a gambler?" Nangong Yin was a little surprised, because he really didn't understand that Su Wuming could see that Xia Jie looked like a gambler.

Su Wuming nodded: "His fingers keep turning, very similar to the action when throwing dice, in this case he still does this kind of action, which shows that he is not only a gambler, but also a very strong gambler, please ask Brother Nangong to investigate!" ”

Nangong Yin only nodded, and then turned around and left the Wen Mansion.

But after Nangong Yin left, Wen Wan'er hurriedly asked, "Su ...... Su Gongzi, now that Xia Jie's words prove that what his uncle said is true, then his uncle's suspicion can be ruled out, right? ”

Wen Wan'er originally wanted to be called Su Lang, but Nangong Yan was here, and she still felt a little shy.

Su Wuming glanced at Wen Wan'er, but he didn't know how to answer her, now Xia Jie's words did prove that what Shang Que said was true, but was it really the case?

There are still some doubts in it, and Su Wuming can't give a clear answer.

It was getting late, the sunset was over, Su Wuming comforted Wen Wan'er, and then left the Wen Mansion with Nangong Yan, on the way, Nangong Yan wanted to speak and stopped, and her cheeks were slightly red, Su Wuming had never seen Nangong Yan so shy, so he smiled and said: "Miss Nangong, what's wrong, it's not like your previous style!" ”

Nangong Yan was still a little nervous, glanced at Su Wuming, and then hurriedly turned her head away, and asked in a voice that almost only she could hear: "What do you think I ...... How am I? ”

Su Wuming didn't understand what Nangong Yan was doing when he asked this question, he looked Nangong Yan up and down carefully, and said with a smile: "Miss Nangong has a graceful figure, a beautiful appearance and a sassy appearance, and a ...... personality."

"How's your personality?" Seeing Su Wuming stop suddenly, Nangong Yan immediately asked nervously.

"Cheerful personality, unrestrained and no worries every day, is a lively and lovely girl!" After Su Wuming finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Why did Miss Nangong suddenly remember to ask this?" ”

Nangong Yan saw that Su Wuming had such a high evaluation of herself, and her heart was suddenly happy, she glanced up at Su Wuming slightly, and then asked a little shyly: "Then do you like a girl like me?" ”

"Who doesn't like a girl like that!" After Su Wuming finished speaking, she seemed to notice something, and at this time, Nangong Yan had suddenly run in front, as if she was very shy, no matter how Su Wuming shouted from behind, she just didn't stop.

On the street at the end of the sunset, Nangong Yan's shadow gradually disappeared, Su Wuming stood there a little stunned, he suddenly felt an indescribable resistance, which might make things difficult for him and Wen Wan'er.

Early the next morning, as soon as Su Wuming got up, a servant hurried over, he said that he was ordered by Nangong Yin to report the matter to Su Wuming, that Xia Jie was indeed a gambler as Su Wuming said, and a gambler with gambling addiction.

After the official said this, he left in a hurry, Tang Xiong stood aside, looked at Su Wuming and said, "Brother Su, does this Xia Jie have anything to do with the murder as a gambler?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Naturally, it is related, just imagine, Shang Que is the housekeeper of the Wen Mansion, but he is better with a gambler, so can the testimony that Shang Que said still be believed?" ”

"Brother Su means that what Shang Que said is false?"

Su Wuming shook his head: "I can't be sure for the time being, you can accompany me to Daddy Zhang's house!" ”

Daddy Zhang's house is a little dilapidated, the courtyard looks relatively deserted, a young woman sewed a dress in front of the door, when she saw two strangers walking in, she was very surprised, and retreated into the house again and again, not long after, a man who was a little thin and about forty years old walked out of the house, the man looked at Su Wuming and others and asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”

Su Wuming gave his hand again and again: "In Xia Su Wuming, come here to find Daddy Zhang, I have something to inquire!" ”

"I am, if you have anything to say, hurry up!" Daddy Zhang's temper seemed to be very bad, and his daughter hid behind and didn't dare to show her face.

Seeing Father Zhang like this, Su Wuming no longer hesitated, and asked directly, "Has Xia Jie come to you in the past few days?" ”

"I've looked for it, but I've thought about what he said, and I don't think it's appropriate, if you want to be a lobbyist, don't do it!"

At this time, Su Wuming understood why Father Zhang was so short-tempered, it turned out that he was worried that he was with Xia Jie, and came to persuade him to marry his daughter.

Su Wuming got the answer he wanted, so after saying a few casual words, he and Tang Xiong left Daddy Zhang's house and rushed directly to the Wen Mansion.

On the way, Su Wuming always felt that it was weird, but it was weird, and he couldn't say why, after arriving at the Wen Mansion, he told Wen Wan'er about it, Wen Wan'er sighed after listening: "Uncle he is so old and doesn't have a wife, I really hope that Daddy Zhang can agree to his daughter marrying her uncle, so that uncle will not be lonely!" ”

Wen Wan'er's emotion did not make Su Wuming feel anything, he frowned slightly, and said, "Your uncle came to Wen Mansion with your mother, so the relationship between their sister and brother must be very good?" ”

"This is natural, my mother is very good to my uncle, when my mother was alive, I often advised my uncle to marry a wife and have children quickly, not to have a queen, but my uncle always said that the wife he wanted to marry, must be my mother's consent, otherwise he will not marry, but who knows that my mother has not chosen a good wife for my uncle, and died."

"How could your mother have died at such a young age?"

"I don't know about this, it seems that I have a serious illness and I haven't been cured!"

"What did your father do to your mother?"

"My father only married my mother in his life, of course, I was very attentive to my mother, after my mother died, my father was very sad for a while, locked himself in the house for a few months, and after coming out, the whole person lost a lot of weight."

After listening to Wen Wan'er's words, Su Wuming bowed slightly and said, "After Tong Yu became the shopkeeper, did he often come to the house?" ”

Wen Wan'er thought for a while and shook her head: "It's not very often, he only comes when things happen, but when he was a buddy, he often came, I think he came to pay tribute to his father at that time." ”

A young man, who often comes to his boss's house to offer his courtesy, is also reasonable, after Su Wuming bowed slightly, he suddenly thought of Nangong Yan's expression yesterday, and his heart suddenly sank, so he hurriedly said to Wen Wan'er: "After this murder case is solved, we will get married immediately, okay?" ”

"In such a hurry?" Wen Wan'er was a little surprised, because getting married requires the order of her parents, and the two of them are also serious people in Luoyang City, even if they make a lifelong decision in private, if they want to get married, they must be agreed by their families, and then send someone to propose marriage.

"After the case is solved, I will go to the capital to take the exam, I hope that someone at home can wait for me to return!"
