Chapter 83: The Wu Family's Murder Case
What Chun Gui didn't know was that Lan Ting also had an emotion similar to chagrin at the moment, he didn't care about Chun Gui's questioning, and put himself in his shoes, anyone who suddenly learned that her husband's mother-in-law had an accident that was abandoned, she would be full of doubts, not to mention that it was related to her stepmother, not to mention that this marriage was facilitated by her stepmother, and it was hard to guarantee that there would be no worse associations.
And he, with such an attitude, will cause misunderstanding to deepen more and more.
Thinking of this, Lan Ting's eyes returned to their usual gentleness, not because he did it on his own initiative, but because he suppressed it vigorously, and the emotions brought by the harsh past were like a tide.
He even remembered at this time that Chungui had indeed asked him to "share the same hatred" with her, and he did it, so Chungui also had to repay the favor.
In any case, the feeling of having someone who wants to be with you is pleasant and emotional.
"It has nothing to do with Mrs. Shen, she is not my enemy, she is just the beneficiary of this incident......" Lan Ting hesitated again when he said this: "Maybe the statement of the beneficiary is not accurate. β
This statement is actually not convincing, at least it does not completely dispel the terrifying idea in Chungui's heart - if it is Mrs. Zhu's death that was harmed by Mrs. Shen, then all of Lan Ting's forbearance may be to avenge the blood hatred, he has a deep blood feud with Mrs. Shen, why did he agree to the marriage brokered by Mrs. Shen, if everything is Lan Ting in order to let Mrs. Shen dispel her guard, then ......
What am I?
Gu Chungui is just a tool for Zhao Lanting's revenge, and all the warmth and attention he has given these days is to deceive.
They have no future to look forward to, and his success or failure cannot change her sorrow and joy, and the willows and flowers she did are actually another desperate end.
Spring return thinks......
It is better to believe that the truth is not so, so that there is hope in life.
So she suppressed her thoughts: "I believe in it." β
This sounded a bit wrong, but Lan Ting could understand it, as if relieved, and smiled sincerely: "Regarding the old matter of my mother, the cause and effect are as intertwined as extremely complicated, and the relationship is big and ugly, and it is useless for Huihui to know too much. β
Since Lan Ting had already said this, it was really difficult to investigate further in the spring return, she lowered her eyebrows, and explained: "Since that day, I have chosen Qingping and other six maids for me, and I feel that the day of returning to Beijing is near, although I have married into Zhaomen, and the Taishi Mansion will be my husband's family in the future, but ...... In the end, I will have to face strangers, and I will inevitably be nervous. β
"I really want to go back to Beijing before August." Lan Ting said: "I reported this year's autumn, but I am not ready to leave in the next few days, I have to help the master and collect a few pieces of evidence of Shi Liangxing's crimes to feel at ease." β
Although Chun Gui had already known that it was Lan Ting who was helping Weng Dad with his official career and political achievements, and even Mrs. Shen no longer covered up this matter in front of her, but at this moment, hearing Lan Ting say it so lightly, Chun Gui still felt surprised: "Why don't you stay in Fenyang because of the master's official business?" And you have to catch up with this year's autumn?! β
"If I miss this year, I will wait three more years, and I don't want to continue to be idle."
"But the time is inevitably too rushed, don't be divided by official duties during this time, and I don't have time to read the book and solve the problem." The meaning of the spring return is that even if you wait for another three years, Lan Ting will only be twenty, and if you are the one who is the age of the crown to get into the office, where can it be considered late, but you should take the exam in such a hurry, in case you fall behind......
It's not that she curses her husband with a crow's mouth, although it is said that it is rare to take the exam in ancient times, and many people can only get the first place after repeated attempts, but the fame of the young Lanting is inevitably burdened by fame, and it is reasonable for others to fall into the first place.
"It's just a matter of taking the exam, and you still need to use the cantilever to pierce the strands and study hard behind closed doors to sharpen the gun? In the past ten years, haven't I become a waste of time? "A certain genius is very satisfied, and he is proud of his disapproval.
Spring Return: ......
This night she had a dream, in the dream of a certain genius in the autumn, depressed home, so she was ridiculed by her head held high, ashamed of a certain genius to hide his face and cry, but also wasted a lot of her lips and tongue coaxing, tired that called a dry mouth, and finally coaxed a certain genius to remove the palm......
That face suddenly became a shy face!!
ββ
He also said that Lan Ting, although he really did not take the upcoming township exam as an important matter in his heart, and he was confident that he could pass the exam in one fell swoop, but the premise was that he resolutely did not miss the time of the township exam, that is to say, he must collect evidence of Shi Liangxing's crimes as soon as possible, and create a good situation for his father in the officialdom of Fenyang.
But practice has always been more difficult than studying, and although he has accumulated some prestige for the lord of Zhizhou through the impeachment of Rong Guogong, but Shi Liangxing has been operating in Fenzhou for many years, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s of the party, and it is not easy to break the alliance of these people.
Lan Ting was worried about where to start, who knew that he intervened in the Wang family's case that looked very inconspicuous at first glance because of his return from spring some time ago, but it brought a turn for the better in the next situation.
This can really be described as "unintentionally inserting willows into the shade".
In one day, the earth was suddenly thundered and thundered, and the sky was full of clouds, like hiding thousands of troops and horses, and the sky and the earth seemed to have an imminent battle, which made everything in the earth tremble and tremble.
With a thunderclap, the middle-aged man in a robe finally rushed into a small courtyard before the rainstorm fell, he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt the rain hit his head, immediately hurried a few steps, ran to the hall in the middle, and looked at it, the young man with a free scarf at the square table was already on a plate of fennel beans, and tasted a small wine with relish.
The middle-aged man said "hey": "What a little brother Hua, you asked me to come for lunch, so I almost didn't get caught in the rain, and I ran out of breath, I don't know you drank it first!" β
The young man stood up, smiled a little, and greeted him with a smile.
But it is to uncover a saucer and untie a paper bag.
signaled that he was just eating a few fennel beans first, and deliberately bought the brine donkey meat and rosin roast chicken in the store in the market, but he didn't move a single chopstick, which was not rude in the first place.
The middle-aged man obviously didn't really care about the young man, he drank wine and ate meat when he sat down, and when he had a full burp, the young man asked: "Brother Xiao Jituo inquired about that matter, I don't know if there is any result?" β
"You're asking at the right time." The middle-aged man took a sip of wine as a throat moistening, and first put on a posture of eloquence: "The pen that my lord bought from the post house copied the newspaper did say that the emperor ordered the reprimanding of Rong Guogong, and also called Zheng Sanye, who caused trouble, to the capital, saying that he wanted to be reprimanded in person, so that Zheng Guifei's brother, that is, the Duke of Wei Guo, would discipline and restrain him, if he didn't change his habit of being a gentleman, he wouldn't let Zheng Sanye return to Fenyang again!" What's the matter, you still said that this Zhao Zhizhou is not like a capable person, this is not expected, this Zhao Zhizhou, but he made up his mind to investigate the evidence of Shi Gong's crime, not long ago, he also sent his eldest son to our master's house, and persuaded the master to testify as evidence, not to mention Zhao Zhizhou's ability, that Zhao Dagongzi, I have seen it with my own eyes, and he has a good talent, if it weren't for Zhao Dagongzi's discernment, our master would have suffered a big crime......"
It turned out that this middle-aged man was a housekeeper in Wang Jiugui's family, and he was usually quite used, and the young man who drank with him, surnamed Xiao Ji, was a poor talent, but he was quite righteous. The housekeeper had a back, he was calculated into a trap, and he almost got into trouble with the official, which touched Wang Jiugui's jealousy, he didn't dare to report it to the master's family, and when he was anxious, thanks to Hua Xiaoji's plan for him, he resolved a trouble.
So although the two are a few years apart, they have formed a friendship that is not weak, and the housekeeper knows what Hua Xiaoyou is doing when he asks about Zhao Zhizhou, and he will not do crooked things after all, so he does not take precautions, and even told Xiaoyou about the case that happened in the owner's house, and bragged about Lan Ting's talent for a while.
At the end, he concluded: "The murder case of the Wu family, if even Zhao Zhizhou can't see the details, I don't think anyone has the ability to rescue the Wu family lady from death row, this is the last opportunity, you have to encourage Wu Xiaolang to give it a try, don't hesitate anymore, otherwise when the Criminal Division comes to the palindrome, escort Wu Niangzi to the capital for retrial, is it possible to leave the boundary of Fenyang, and go to the capital to redress grievances?" β
Hua Xiaoji frowned, and was really a little suspicious: "As soon as Zhao Zhizhou came to Fenyang, he didn't do anything, but was squeezed out by Shi Liangxing's party and couldn't afford to be sick, why was he suddenly reborn, and there was a tendency to turn defeat into victory?" I heard you talk about the eldest son of the Zhizhou Mansion, and he can indeed be considered a clear understanding of the strange murder case of the Wang family...... You said it was Wang Weng who he came to persuade to testify? β
So this poor scholar seemed to have insight into some mysteries.
"I think, I have to visit this Zhao Gongzi first."
