Chapter 24 Conditions
At the end of the day, Wen Zifu rushed to Xia Tianzhu.
The temple door was closed, and the matter was urgent, so the monk opened the side door and led him to the wing.
Some of the officials who came to investigate the case in Lin'an Prefecture were withdrawn, and the rest were also arranged by the temple to live here temporarily.
The old lady and An Shi still haven't woken up.
The Cao family was afraid that there would be complications at night, so they simply brought a few stout mothers-in-law to rest in Mrs. Gui's room.
She was afraid of seeing the bloody room, but she was even more afraid of killing someone in the middle of the night.
Cao opened the door.
Wen Zifu hesitated: "I heard that the third brother and sister are also resting here." ”
Cao gave him a look before pulling her husband in.
"Master Li rested in the opposite wing," Cao whispered, "I have been sloppy with him, and I haven't said anything. ”
Wen Zifu was shocked.
His mother and younger siblings were injured, and he was already anxious, listening to his wife's words, there was still an inside story.
Cao told Wen Zifu about today's events in the original and meticulous manner.
What was the situation of the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law when she came in, and how did Wen Yan wake her up, teach her to deal with the government, and persist until now.
Wen Zifu's face turned white and blue: "How can you suspect that your younger brother and sister are not on good terms with their mother, so that they are about to be poisoned?" ”
"It's me who is confused, I'm really scared," Cao didn't explain so much to Wen Zifu, and immediately admitted his mistake, and said, "Sister Yan and I analyzed, the old lady's luck should not be so bad, and she met a bad person when she went out."
The masters are merciful, and we have no grievances, and there is a situation in the temple, which is not good for incense and reputation.
Master, I guess it might still be those things in the officialdom, right? ”
has been working in the yamen for many years, and Wen Zifu does not dare to say that he has not offended anyone, so it is difficult to assert it for a while.
"Hearing you say that, I would like to hear Sister Yan'er's thoughts." Wen Zifu said.
Cao said: "The children are asleep, Brother Min is crying a lot, I'm tired and silent now, the old man is looking for a banquet for his sister." ”
Wen Zifu bowed.
He once again determined the condition of Mrs. Gui, asked about An's injury, withdrew from the wing, and met Governor Li.
"In the middle of the night, I shouldn't be in such a hurry," Li Zhifu rubbed his hands and said, "But the recent situation of the Yamen, you know, brother, the imperial history will arrive at any time, and there will not be a day of delay."
Before, my brother and sister said that they wouldn't let us enter the wing room for inspection, but since you arrived, it would be better for us to do it overnight, and we would go back to the city at dawn. ”
Wen Zifu sighed: "Neiko is timid, short-sighted, and messed up, I told her, don't blame adults." ”
Where can Governor Li be blamed?
Wen Zifu blocked all the words.
He could only wave his hand: "Do the right thing, do the right thing!" ”
In the wing, the three Wen Yan sisters were crammed into a bed.
In the dead of night, when you look outside, you will inevitably have a frightening dream.
Wen Yan opened his eyes, comforted Wen Hui and Wen Jing a few words, and got up.
She slept in her clothes, and it was convenient at the moment, so she only put on her hat and went out of the house and searched for it.
Cao Shizheng recounted the experience, and after discussing with Wen Zifu, her rhetoric was richer than before, and she gave a lot of details that she could "give".
Wen Yan didn't feel sleepy, so he simply listened to it for a while.
Inside, Mama Liu suddenly called: "The old lady is awake." ”
"Awake?" When Cao Shi heard this, he didn't care about going any further, and turned around to go in.
Wen Yan turned sideways, stopped Cao's family, and quietly pinched the other party's arm.
Cao's spirit, standing outside the wing, said down.
Wen Yan flashed inside.
When the old lady first woke up, if she said something unfavorable to An in a trance, it would be a disaster.
She had to let the Cao family hold people back, and she first confirmed the condition of Old Madam Gui.
Old Madam Gui was lying down, her face was so white that there was no trace of blood, and she was in a state of malaise.
Wen Yan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the old lady's eyes: "Grandmother, can you hear me?" ”
Old Madam Gui looked at Wen Yan for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth opened, and Hade laughed.
She was so weak that she couldn't make such a move smoothly, so that this smile was very weird.
Wen Yan twisted his eyebrows and called twice, and Mrs. Gui responded with a "ahhh
The outside couldn't be stopped for too long, and when Governor Li and Wen Zifu heard the news, the Cao family could only give way.
Wen Zifu went to his mother's bed to greet him, but he still got such a reaction, he could only shake his head with Governor Li.
The master who healed the wound came to see it again, and said that the old lady was probably stimulated, and the person woke up, and her mind was not clear, and it was impossible to say when it would be completely well.
And An's is still in a coma.
The sky spit out the white belly of the fish, and a low cat bark came with the wind, and Wen Yan followed the sound, and saw Ebony wagging his tail on the eaves, turning around and jumping, and falling behind.
Wen Yan followed.
Ebony ran under a ginkgo tree and climbed up with agility.
Wen Yan looked up, and soon, the cat came back, with an extra piece of cyan cloth in its mouth.
Ebony threw the thing down and meowed.
Wen Yan picked it up and saw that it was a piece of cotton cloth, judging from the line, size and wear, it was likely to be the cuff of the clothes, and the marks on the edges made her eyes light up.
"Bloodstains?" Wen Yan squatted down and asked Ebony, "You tore it off?" From the murderer? Did you meet him? ”
Ebony craned her neck high and screamed triumphantly.
Wen Yan touched its neck.
Before the accident, their brothers and sisters were watching the scenery in the temple, Wen Hui teased the cat with leaves, and Ebony was willing to let her wish, and she ran away in three or two clicks.
It didn't come out until then.
However, this is enough to make Wen Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
Even if Ebony can't speak and can't testify, at least they can now be sure that there are really villains, not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cannibalism.
It's not just a warm banquet, but the Cao family won't be weak when they face the yamen in the future.
"You should have brought it to me earlier." Wen Yan said in a low voice.
The black cat, who was in a good mood a moment ago, suddenly turned her face, pressed a paw on Wen Yan's hand, and bared her teeth.
Wen Yan said: "Go back to the house and give you two fish." ”
The paws are motionless.
Wen Yan had no choice but to say: "Three, no more!" ”
Ebony hesitated, snorted, and let go of her claws.
Rao knows that this cat has such a temperament, and Wen Yan is still angry and funny.
She had to take the fabric to Wen Zifu as a physical evidence.
Of course, if the old lady and An can come to their senses in time, this matter will be much clearer.
Governor Li pulled Wen Zifu out to talk.
Wen Yan didn't find the moon cave door until he vaguely heard the three of them talking.
"Two adults, in order to save people before, there were many people in and out of the wing, and now it is difficult to judge whether there were other people in the room at the time of the incident."
Wen Zifu said: "No one else? What does this mean? ”
Governor Li played a round: "Don't worry, don't worry!" Take your time. ”
The servant said: "The old lady's injury was caused by the dagger, it was the one left in the wing, it was the relic of the old marquis, your own family will not admit the mistake, the injury on the head of the third lady was hit by the corner of the bed, if the gangster committed the murder, no one noticed it at the time, it is said that it was directly killed." ”
Wen Zifu was annoyed: "The case is not so decided!" There are so many acquaintances in Lin'an City, you just have to ask, is my mother like that? Is that the kind of person my brother and sister are? ”
He said: "It's really an outsider's murder, and no one in your mansion notices it?" ”
Governor Li held down his words: "That's not what I said. The patrol press will arrive at any time, and there is a case of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in our Lin'an Mansion Tongzhi's family, Lord Wen is unlucky, and I can't eat and walk around! Check it out, check it again! ”
After sending the work away, Governor Li said again: "Brother, the case must not be handled like this, but time is tight, we must work together, what do you say?" ”
Wen Zifu really laughed angrily now.
He has been under Governor Li for many years, how could he not know that there is something in this statement.
The case has not yet found out the clues, and Governor Li first set a condition for him - Shunping Bofu will be messing around again, and he will not make a fuss about the Quhu brothers.
Whether it is the Wen family, the Bofu, or the yamen sandwiched in the middle, they are all on the same boat.
Everything is for Lin'an Mansion to pass smoothly from the patrol press.
If Wen Zifu had sued in front of the patrol, the case would not have been good today.
"Aren't adults afraid that my mother and younger siblings will wake up?" Wen Zifu gritted his teeth and said.
Governor Li said: "What am I afraid of? They woke up and told the identity of the gangster, I quickly arrested someone and closed the case! ”
Wen Yan, who had been standing behind the door of the Moon Cave, also lowered his face when he heard it.
Whether this matter has anything to do with the prefect Li and the officials' competition for the position, Wen Yan still can't hold it, but since the other party wants a big stage, she will set it up for him.
This fabric, let's just show it to Lord Huo.
