Although Wang Ping'an was stuffed with a golden key by his father not long after he was born, in view of the fact that Wang Ping'an is a good and contented temperament, he is very strict with his eldest son who will inherit the family business in the future. To say that the mountain road of Songguo Mountain for this hour is not difficult for him to stop, but these days, he finally heard about the Taoist residence of the free immortal, the farmers at the foot of the mountain pointed the way, and said that it is a rough idea, Wang Ping'an went all the way up the mountain, passed through a lot of forks in the road, also turned in the wrong direction, took a lot of wrongful roads, only to meet Orion Chai Fu to correct, he was not sure whether he could successfully reach the goal, anxious and anxious, when he finally saw the suddenly open place, the bamboo pavilion sat in the edge of the Mo Wenchang, Relieved, it was inevitable that he was out of breath, although he did not ignore that there was another pair of men and women with extraordinary manners in the bamboo pavilion, it was completely like ignorance, and he only bowed to Mo Wen.

Lan Ting didn't have to think about it too much, and he had insight into Wang Ping'an was indeed a sophisticated businessman, and he knew very well the trick of focusing when asking for someone, and heard that although he was nearly twice as old as Mo Wen, his voice was low and sincere, and there was no elder support, presumably this kind of flattery, when it was able to please the small road that was actually stubborn, it might make a sophisticated businessman so convinced, which showed that Mo Wen's tricks were actually very hot, and only when Chun Gui and he were familiar with each other since childhood, and saw the mysterious arts, they could not be concerned. Laughing and scolding to get along.

Lan Ting suddenly felt interesting, he never thought that he would have intersected with his wife's old friends, and even intersected with his wife's past - at that time, the "wife" did not have an exact individual, but the woman from the family was not questioned, and in this world, whether everyone is beautiful or a small jasper, the woman grows up in the boudoir, and the daily practice is nothing more than a female fan needle chisel, and it is lucky to be able to read the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the intersecters are naturally fat pink skirts, in short, the situation is very different from the man, there is not much integration, and this integration is not necessary.

Accompanying your wife to a friend's visit? That is, surrounded by a group of fat powder skirts, talking about fashionable makeup and expensive jewelry, or slandering which banquet, so-and-so was in the limelight and so-and-so laughed at people, thinking about this picture Lan Ting felt ridiculous.

He didn't dare to think that he would end up marrying a wife who had a "wide range of friends", and knowing that the circle of friends was so interesting that he felt that he had really gained a lot of knowledge, and reflected on whether there were prejudices in the past.

Lan Ting was so distracted, Wang Ping'an on the side had already made a complete pleading, and Mo Wen's frame this time also turned moderately easy-going, and he did not firmly refuse: "Although Xiaodao can calculate, he can also try to surpass the soul, but Xiaodao is not an official body, how can he judge the case?" Moreover, if the real murderer of Your Excellency's mother is not brought to justice, the grievances of the dead soul cannot be revealed, and it will naturally be difficult to exceed. ”

Wang Ping'an was puzzled: "But...... The concubine has been buried, even if the father intends to investigate thoroughly, but there is no evidence, so he reports to the official like this, where will the official accept it? ”

"What's so hard about that?" Mo asked and pointed to Lan Ting: "This is the eldest son of the old man of Zhizhou, if your apartment can invite Zhao Sheren to investigate the suspicious case, are you afraid that you can't bring the murderer to justice to avoid disaster?" ”

After Wang Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, his father has always been afraid of the official family and refused to get involved in the lawsuit, not to mention that this incident is related to the ugliness of the house, how can it be publicized? It's just that the murder has been leaked, and it can't be avoided, and there is another case, in fact, Wang Ping'an's views on the avoidance of the official office are very different from Wang Jiugui's, and now he has unexpectedly got an opportunity to make friends with Zhao Zhizhou's eldest son, and he can't help but be excited.

So he hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully.

After a polite time, after each other sat down again, Wang Ping'an talked about the murder that suddenly happened in his own house: "In the next mother's family surname Bai, Yangzhou, redeemed by his father, nearly 20 years have passed, my mother has always been unsafe because of her health, and there are many negligences in housekeeping, and my mother's co-owner of family affairs has been ten years long, I don't want to be close to my mother before March, and suddenly reported and witnessed that my mother gave a sachet to Mr. Xixi. ”

When he said this, he explained with some humility: "Yu is a merchant and a citizen, and he does not dare to insult the sages, but Mr. Xixi, who is a gentleman, was originally admitted to the examination, but he failed in the two examinations, so he no longer took the exam, because his family was poor and had no support, and he was too lazy to ask for ...... to make up for the shortcomings."

Listening to Wang Ping'an's account, Lan Ting's mind sketched up the cynical image of this person surnamed Gao and claiming to be in the city.

To know that in today's world, the imperial examination is regarded as the right way for scholars, no matter whether the family is high or low, once the examination is passed, there are always more people to make friends, and the longitudinal management will not pass the examination, it is not easy to fill the vacancy, as long as the fame is still there, to the official family mansion to serve as the west seat will also be respected, no matter how bad as Yin Jiyu, to join the Mu bureaucracy, although it is not as decent as the family Xixi, it is better than to join the businessman and be ridiculed several times.

But this Gao Xianshi actually deviated from the norm and chose to go to the businessman's house, and at first he was not Xixi, and was hired by Wang Jiugui as the shopkeeper.

Wang Jiugui is still a good proprietor, and Gao Xian City does have a talent for business, the guests and hosts appreciate each other, Gao Xian City also did a period of general management, and then Wang Ping'an finally experienced it, Gao Xian City was hired as the West Seat, responsible for teaching Wang Er, Wang San, Wang Si, and the third generation of children, not to teach sage books, scripture and history etiquette, but to teach arithmetic, geography, and so on for business has a great effect on knowledge.

This Gaoxian City is also a native of Yangzhou, and Bai's "Township Party", but it is not an old acquaintance, in recent years, he is in charge of the West Xixi, Bai's housework, it is inevitable that there will be occasional contact, and because they are far away from their hometown in Fenzhou, they will inevitably talk about homesickness when they meet, and Bai knows that the husband attaches great importance to Mr. Gao, so he often makes some hometown snacks, and takes special care of clothes and other trivial things.

These are all things that come and go, Wang Jiugui has known about it for a long time, and he doesn't mind.

How do you know that suddenly there are maidservants who report that the Bai family has an affair with Gao Xianshi, Wang Ping'an's biological mother Zhou, who is used to being unassertive and easy to panic, heard about this ugliness, and suddenly the six gods have no owner, and hurriedly informed the husband - this is of course just Wang Ping'an's statement.

After the father got the news, although he didn't believe it at first, he reprimanded Ning Si for having nothing to do, and wanted to sell the maid, Ning Si even shouted wronged, and swore an oath to death that there was no lie, and the father was suspicious, so he secretly made his henchmen and quietly searched Mr. Gao's residence, but he didn't expect to find not only the sachet sewn by his mother, but also a lot of portraits painted by Mr. Gao for his mother, and the portraits were all inscribed...... There are poems of lovesickness and admiration. Wang Ping'an sighed: "My father doesn't mention my mother's love, and I have always respected Mr. Gao, seeing these evidences with my own eyes, I can't help but be angry, ask the two, my mother shouted injustice, although I also pleaded for my mother, but my father didn't listen to the defense at all, and he was angry and slapped his mother. ”

"Seeing this, Mr. Gao actually argued with his father, and admitted that he did have love for his mother, but insisted that the sachet was not given by his mother, but that he saw that his mother was unintentionally left behind, and Mr. Gao picked it up and treasured it, and naturally denied the disdain between him and his mother, but his father was angry and unwilling to listen, so he ordered Mr. Gao to be expelled and confined his mother in the residence."

That Gao Xianshi was originally a rebellious temperament, how could he bear the humiliation of expulsion? Since then, it has been idle and gone.

Yu Ben thought that when his father's anger subsided a little, he would plead for his mother-in-law, but he didn't want to hear that his mother-in-law had committed suicide by taking poison in a few days...... My father was also very remorseful, and even my mother was grieved because of this, thinking of the friendship of my mother when she was alive, she was bedridden. My father has always believed in the retribution of evil, originally such a thing happened, I was worried that it would cause trouble, I never thought that the Taoist chief took the initiative to come to the door, and the soul of the divination was not dispersed, and the father became more and more suspicious that he had really wronged his mother, but his father would never kill his mother, and he hoped that the people would believe that his father would never have such a vicious heart. ”

Lan Ting was noncommittal about this, and only said: "I believe that Ling Zun will not inexplicably have murderous intent towards his concubine, but the Bai family said with others, out of the mouth of Ling Tang, I said bluntly according to the truth, Ling Tang Zhi is very suspicious in this case, if the truth is true, do you still have to advocate a thorough investigation?" ”

At this time of the spring return, he also looked at this one closely, and said to the Bai family, who seemed to respect the eldest prince of the Wang family and the heir of the rich.
