Chapter 45: Commanding Persons
She paused for a moment, held her forehead and sighed and continued: "Master Wei, he didn't know where he learned about this matter, and he personally visited our Zheng family and the other three families, and won this opportunity to be selected.
He was so powerful that my father was full of praise for him just by seeing him, and he fully supported him as the new county magistrate.
In just a few days after taking office, he subdued the people up and down in the yamen, handled all the cases within half a month, and made a more detailed plan to exterminate these mountain bandits.
My father and the heads of the other three families were willing to listen to him, looked around for connections, and gathered all the people they could. β
Yuan Xuan noticed the admiration and love for Wei Wei in Zheng Haihua's words, and she was proud and sour in her heart, and she missed him incomparably.
After she said what she wanted to know, she asked Zheng Haihua one last question: "Then what is the purpose of your coming here?" Do you know the woman that day? β
Zheng Haihua was a little weak when he heard this, and touched his earlobe with some unnaturalness on his face and said, "Let me take a look at what a wife like for such a powerful man." β
Hearing this, Yuan Xuan suddenly broke down emotionally, squatted down and buried his head in his knees, covering his ears and crying bitterly.
When I first met Wei Wei a year ago, he also said, "I'll come here to see what kind of person my fiancΓ©e is." β
It's all her fault, if she didn't say anything when she fell into the water in the Meng Mansion at the beginning, then he wouldn't offend the Meng family, he wouldn't have to go to the county seat, let alone make this Lao Shizi's broken county order.
Zheng Haihua looked at Wei Pei's appearance and was also sad, thinking that the more than 200 lives of the Zheng family did not know what the situation was at this time, she leaned on the bed and cried loudly with a muffled face.
Zhuzhu has been an orphan since she was a child, and she doesn't have too much to worry about in the county, but she is not sad. She knew that her young lady had said so much at this time, and she didn't plan to hide anything from this Mrs. Wei anymore, after all, it was all at this time.
So when the crying of the two of them was quieter, she explained another question on behalf of her young lady: "That woman's name is Gu Sanniang, and she came with us, but we didn't know her before." β
Yuan Xuan stopped crying when he heard this, raised his head and looked at Zhuzhu with teary eyes, waiting for her next words.
Zhuzhu looked at her appearance and shook her head, and quickly avoided her eyes and continued: "She was standing outside the county office and crying outside the county office at dawn on the day Lord Wei set off.
My young lady and I passed by on our way back from outside the city, and when we saw this, we took her to Zheng's house first. β
When Zhuzhu said this, Zheng Haihua suddenly raised his head and coughed lightly, his eyes looking at Yuan Xuan's place uncertainly.
Yuan Xuan glared at her, looked at Zhu Zhu and said: "Go on, I will ask Gu Sanniang later, if you say something wrong with each other, whether it is to hide me or deceive me, I will blow you out." β
Zhu Zhu saw that although the young lady's face was ugly, she had no objection, so she lowered her head and continued: "When Gu Sanniang was outside the county office, she said that her man was killed, but the county magistrate shirked her again and again.
But what she said to my young lady was different from what my young lady went to find out, and the widow she said had killed her and her man was the biggest victim.
Our Zheng family found the widow overnight, and after listening to her story, they went to several neighbors around them to confirm it, and after several twists and turns, they were sure that the widow was telling the truth.
It is true that Gu Sanniang was pushed by the widow at the beginning, so it is true that she lost the hard-won child in her womb, and it is also true that the man died.
But the reason why the widow pushed Gu Sanniang was that her man sneaked into someone's house one night and forced someone's body, and ran to someone's house for three days for a period of time afterward.
The neighbors around them all knew about this filthy mess, and some people said it in front of Gu Sanniang, but Gu Sanniang didn't care about it.
The widow later became pregnant, and had to go to Gu Sanniang's house to ask for an explanation, but she was beaten upside down, saying that people don't want to hook up with her man.
The widow pushed her down in a fit of rage, and when she saw her faint on the ground, she came out with a pool of blood under her body, and was so frightened that she went home and hid in her house, not daring to come out.
Who knew that Gu Sanniang's man went to the widow's house at night with good wine and food, and told her with a smile on her face that she didn't have to worry, just raise the fetus and give birth to the child at home.
also said that after the child in her womb was born, if it was a boy, she would give her a sum of money, and only let her give the child to him, Gu Sanniang promised that she would treat the child as her own.
The widow did not dare to contradict him, thinking that she would wait until he was gone.
Who knew that the man suddenly fell to the ground after drinking and eating food, and spat out a large amount of blood from his mouth, and after convulsing for a while, his eyes widened and he was out of breath.
The widow felt that something was wrong, and she did not dare to stay at home any longer, so she rolled up the valuable soft and ran away......"
By the time she finished speaking, Yuan Xuan had already wiped away her tears, but she was still a little puzzled in her heart.
She wrinkled her eyebrows and thought in her heart, since this Zheng girl has figured out the truth of the matter, what else is she bringing Gu Sanniang here for? And let her talk nonsense here?
Without waiting for her to figure it out, Zheng Haihua on the bed explained with a red face: "I also found out that the person who instructed Gu Sanniang to go to the county government to make trouble was someone from the Meng family, so I went to see Meng Jingrou. β
Hearing Zheng Haihua talk about Meng Jingrou, Yuan Xuan's face sank instantly, and he got up and looked at her with a scrutinizing face with his hands behind his back.
Maybe it was because she had been with Wei Wei for a long time, and she subconsciously imitated his behavior, which looked very similar to Wei Wei when she was angry.
Zheng Haihua seemed to see the angry Wei Wei at this moment, his neck shrank in fright, and he couldn't even say everything when he stumbled.
Zhu Zhu felt the same way as her, and she knelt on the ground and trembled: "Lord Wei is angry, Lord Wei is angry......
The anger in Yuan Xuan's heart suddenly dissipated, and she looked at the top of Zhuzhu's head in a daze, and sat back on the stool.
It was a long time before she came to her senses, and she felt that she couldn't wait any longer, that she should do something. Otherwise, if she continues like this, she will be driven crazy by herself.
With this thought, Yuan Xuan couldn't wait for a moment, and hurriedly left here to go back to the room to prepare things for the long door.
Zheng Haihua and Zhu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief after Yuan Xuan left, although neither of them knew why she left suddenly, but it was a good thing that they didn't have to continue to look at her terrifying face.
The way she looks is really scary!
After returning to the room, Yuan Xuan found the new clothes she had made for Wei Wei, took out two sets and compared them on himself, and went to the oil lamp to modify them.
