Chapter 26: It's OK to Sit

Outside the Lin'an Mansion.

Wen Yan helped Mama Huang's hand to get off the carriage, turned around and hugged Ebony into her arms, and saw Mama Hu as soon as she raised her eyes.

Mama Hu came out of an alley, out of breath, and when she saw her carriage, she quickly raised her handkerchief and waved it twice.

Wen Yan went over and asked, "Why is Mom here?" ”

Mama Hu didn't care about her posture or not, and held on to the wall for a while.

In fact, it was the Cao family who was worried, but if she also came to the yamen, in case there was some situation in the house, there would be no one who could take charge.

Under the entanglement, the Cao family sent Mama Hu to tell her about the two sisters' complaints.

The carriage had already gone out, and Mama Hu risked her life to run.

It's a shame that the carriage can only go on the avenue, and Mama Hu runs down the alley on two legs, going around and around, so that she can catch up.

If you are not familiar with the road, I am afraid that it will be too late.

Of course, Mama Hu can't say Cao's true words, she is the wife of the family, and she is the elder of the girls, so she has to save some face.

She finally eased up, smiled, and said: "Madame said that the little official at the gate of the yamen doesn't recognize the girls, and the old face of the slave and maid, because she has run errands for the lord and the lady before, can be of a little use, and the lady will let the slave and maid lead the way." ”

"Uncle is really thoughtful." Wen Yan smiled.

Seeing her react like this, Mama Hu didn't know if she had concealed it, so she hurriedly went down the steps: "The slave will lead the girls over." ”

After the stone lion, the two little officials stood straight with their faces strained.

The patrol lord arrived, and from top to bottom, everyone was tense, not daring to make a mistake.

Mama Hu stepped forward and said, "We are from the Hou Mansion of Ding'an, and we are here to find Master Wen." ”

The little official said: "It's all busy, don't make trouble in your mansion, you want to find the master, wait for the master to go down." ”

"What do you ...... say" Mama Hu's face turned red, and she was about to break the truth, when she saw Mama Huang take a few steps to the side.

There is a big drum on the side.

Mama Huang pulled out her drumstick, picked up her arm, and slammed it down.

Knock, knock, knock –

Mama Hu was so shocked that she forgot to cover her ears.

The little official was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly went to stop Mama Hu: "What are you doing?" What does this do? ”

"Report to the official," Mama Huang beat it twice more before handing over the drumstick, "The bitter lord went to the yamen to report to the official, didn't they all beat the drum first?" ”

Mama Hu burst out laughing.

The officials looked at each other, and soon, someone from the yamen came to ask and invited a few people to Wen Yan.

There were large and small officials standing in the hall, presumably listening to the inspector before.

Wen Yan saw Huo Huaiding standing in the middle at a glance.

The eldest uncle of the Huo family is much younger and in much better spirits than Wen Yan remembers.

Li Zhifu stood aside with his hands in his hands, his face was gloomy, and he glanced at Wen Zifu obliquely.

Wen Zifu just didn't notice it, and walked up to Wen Yan and Wen Yuan: "What's going on in the house?" ”

"Everything is as usual in the house," Wen Yan took out the piece of cloth, "I came to report to the official, yesterday my grandmother and uncle were in distress in the temple, this cloth is on the gangster, and there are blood marks." ”

Everyone was stunned, and even Wen Yuan looked at Wen Yan in surprise.

Wen Zifu frowned slightly.

Cao's has been talking about Wen Yan in his ear recently, especially in the temple yesterday, Wen Yan gave Cao a lot of ideas, and Wen Zifu felt that this niece had some ideas.

But what's the deal with this fabric?

Naturally, he also wanted to have physical evidence and human evidence, so as not to use the topic to play by Governor Li, but the matter was very high, especially when the inspector was here, and it was not okay to deceive.

"Are you sure it's a gangster?" Wen Zifu asked, "It's about the murderer, and you can't make mistakes." ”

Wen Yan said: "When the gangster committed the murder, the cat that called me bumped into it, and the cat savior was heartbroken, pounced on it, and bit off the cloth. ”

The corners of Wen Zifu's mouth twitched, why did he sound so mysterious......

Governor Li stepped forward and looked at the bloodstains on the cloth: "Girl, since there is evidence, why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”

Wen Yan lifted his hat and glanced at Governor Li coldly: "Because I don't dare." ”

After speaking, she took the fabric back: "There was an accident in the temple, I was young and panicked, and I got this physical evidence, and I originally wanted to wait for my uncle to arrive and transfer it to the prefect."

When my uncle came to the temple late at night, Lord Li urged me to handle the case, and I never had a chance to interject.

It wasn't until dawn that I learned that my lord and my uncle were talking in front of the wing room, and wanted to bring in the physical evidence, but I heard the adults questioning the case.

At that time, the adults already preconceived that 'mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were killing each other', and the uncle fought hard, but the adults did not change their prejudices.

In the eyes of adults, I'm afraid that my physical evidence was also faked by our Hou Mansion in order to get rid of the crime, right? ”

Governor Li didn't know that Wen Yan listened to the conversation this morning, and subconsciously glanced at Huo Huaiding, and said, "Miss Wen misunderstood the official, misunderstood!" ”

"Then I'll be mistaken," Wen Yan was very generous, "Then please hurry up and arrest the murderer." ”

In the hall, Huo Huaiding listened with his hands behind his back and asked the master to read the case file.

Governor Li couldn't stand still, and asked: "Girl, with only one piece of cloth, searching for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I don't know ...... other clues."

Wen Yan interrupted Governor Li's words: "We have the evidence, and we have to find clues?" My lord, we are bitter masters, do we even have to solve the case by the yamen? If so, what do we do with the authorities? ”

This is an aggressive statement.

If it had been left on weekdays, Governor Li would have already asked the officials to drive people away.

But not now, Master Huo is still there.

And this bitter master is a girl's family, in terms of seniority, she is considered a "virtuous niece", in front of so many people, she still has to give Wen Zifu some face on the surface.

"Words are not ......" As soon as Governor Li's words began, he saw the black cat jump from Wen Yan's arms.

He turned his head to look at the cat, and saw that the cat was in good shape and trotted into the lobby, and then leaped on all fours, jumped on the big case, and pressed one paw on his startling wood.

"What do you mean?" Governor Li's face was swollen red, pointed to the cat, and asked Wen Yan, "Girl, this is a yamen, not a garden, you don't need to bring a cat to report the case!" ”

Wen Yan said: "It means that the bitter lord has done everything, and the prefect's seat, it can sit on it." ”

Ebony was satisfied with Wen Yan's explanation and let out a long meow.

Governor Li's face was redder than pork liver.

"Your niece is really ...... to speak," Li Zhifu had no choice but to rush at Wen Zifu haha, "The teaching in the house is really powerful." ”

Wen Zifu was angry when he remembered what happened before dawn, and said with a glance: "My lord's words are not right, this niece of the lower official grew up in Beijing, and her words and deeds were all taught by the palace, and the palace taught well, and the lower officials did not dare to take credit." ”

Governor Li almost scolded his mother in court!

originally wanted a step, but Wen Zifu not only didn't give it, but also kicked it over and dug a pit by the way.

How could he have forgotten about it!

The same routine as before, Wen Zifu picked it up and used it again?!

The official standing here was cheated by Wen Zifu like this last time!

Mama Huang glanced at Wen Zifu and thought to herself, drawing inferences from one case and learning better.

Mama Hu stood behind Mama Huang and sighed vigorously that the three girls were amazing.

Not only is he powerful, but raising a cat is not an ordinary thing.

Listening to Wen Zifu's words at this moment, Mama Hu was even more excited.

The lord is so tough in the mansion, and the lady must love to hear this.

Mama Hu organized the vocabulary in her mind, and when she turned around, she was bound to paint it vividly, and suddenly she saw that Master Huo closed the file and walked to her girl without hurrying.

"Taught in the palace?" Huo Huaiding looked at Wen Yan and suddenly realized, "I said how can I look at Mian Shan, it turns out to be the granddaughter of Mrs. Xia." ”

Wen Yan saluted Huo Huaiding: "I have been away from Beijing for a year, and I have been greeting for a long time, I don't know how the concubine and the princess are doing recently?" ”
