Chapter 214: Corpse Fraud
The General's Mansion is located in the east of the capital, this is the place where the dignitaries of the capital live intensively, standing here and overlooking it, you can see the majestic palace not far away, and this mansion is carved beams and paintings, even the layout is different from other houses, obviously the emperor gave the mansion when he did leave a little heart for the general.
Wan Bingyu didn't expect that He Nianbing would bring him to his home.
"General, isn't this not very decent?" She raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say that I was suspected of murdering Xu Gongzi, at this time, shouldn't I be escorted to the Yamen prison?" ”
He brought himself to his house, what does this mean?
He Nianbing coughed lightly, still with a cold face.
"I made a guarantee, and Lord Xu agreed to let you stay with me."
What was the specific reason, He Nianbing didn't say it, and Wan Bingyu was thinking about another thing in his heart, so he didn't ask.
He Nianbing's mansion is gorgeous, but it is a little empty, except for the two subordinates who are in charge of guarding the door when he enters the door, he has not seen anyone again, even the figure of the servant is gone, until He Nianbing brings people to the guest room to live, Wan Bingyu saw the two maids who are responsible for serving.
As soon as He Nianbing left, Wan Bingyu inquired about the news with the maids.
"Why is this general's mansion empty, and there are even fewer people? Do you generals like to do everything by themselves, and don't like to be served? And what about General Tsuru's family? ”
"The general likes to be quiet." The more clever maid replied, "The subordinates of the palace are all active in the small courtyard on the west side, and those who dare not move around elsewhere without permission, as well as the general's family, those of us who are subordinates, are not very clear, and when we come in to serve, we have not seen or heard the general mention it." ”
Never mentioned family? What's going on with this crane Nian Bing?
Wan Bingyu walked around the mansion with confusion, and after finishing dinner in the evening, he returned to his room to rest.
Wan Bingyu has slept very unsteadily for the past year, since she buried Heng Xinyuan in person, she has slept less and lightly, but tonight I don't know what happened, she slept exceptionally peacefully, and it was not until the maid knocked on the door the next day that she opened her eyes from her sleep.
"Who's out there?"
"Madam, I am a little fish who will serve your daily life, and Steward Zhou came over and said that there was a girl outside who wanted to see you."
"What's that girl's name?"
The maid waited for a while before replying: "It's a girl named July." ”
The remaining hazy sleepiness was all blown away by the breeze when he heard the name of July, and Wan Bingyu suddenly woke up.
If it weren't for the necessity, July would definitely not have rushed to the general's palace to find himself at such an hour, something must have happened.
Wan Bingyu asked people to invite July in, and then took advantage of the time to freshen up, and when she sorted herself out, July happened to be brought over by the maid.
"Master, there is news from the yamen today." July has always had no expression on his face, but at this time there was a solemn emotion, it seemed that this matter was very unusual, and she could hear her say: "Early this morning, the official in charge of inspecting the government saw Xu Gongzi's body in the morgue, he was pulled to the door, posing as if he was going to leave the room, and everyone who saw it was frightened, they all said that it was haunted, and they also said that Xu Gongzi was dead and wanted to pay for your life. ”
The theory of ghosts and gods has always been a topic of concern to people, and as soon as the news spread, it exploded like firecrackers, making people panic.
Even if the other party who asked for the ghost's life was himself, Wan Bingyu remained silent.
What are the ghosts? In this world, there are many things more terrible than ghosts and gods, and she even dares to fight people, is she still afraid that ghosts will not be able to ask for her life?
"Don't worry, I didn't kill this Shen Gongzi." What's more, there is He Nianbing who wants to help investigate the case, Wan Bingyu believes that he will return his innocence.
As the two of them spoke, there was a steady sound of footsteps outside the door.
It's Crane Nianbing here.
Seeing July in the living room, he felt a little surprised: "It seems that my news is not as fast as Mrs. Wan's."
Wan Bingyu and Qiyue couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this rookie in the court, so they didn't pick up his words, only said that July had something to report to her, and left after speaking.
He Nianbing looked at them with a smile and said: "I have to say, Mrs. Wan is really defensive about people, obviously she said that the two sides would cooperate, but when they met, they still had an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, which really made me feel cold." ”
As soon as the words fell, He Nianbing himself was stunned.
Those words just now were all things he blurted out naturally without thinking, and he didn't know why he wanted to say them.
There was always a feeling in the dark that told him that he and Wan Bingyu should not be so estranged.
The person who was stunned was not only him, but also Wan Bingyu, and July looked at the two of them with a meaningful gaze, and then a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes.
It seems that her master has indeed met her fate, and in this case, it is better for her not to stay here, so she made an excuse to leave at will.
"That July girl just now is here to tell you about Xu Gongzi's corpse, right?"
Wan Bingyu put away the expression just now, and nodded indifferently: "Exactly." ”
"In that case, then I don't have to repeat it, let's go."
He Nianbing turned around and walked out.
Wan Bingyu stood in place and stared at his back, inexplicably remembering some of the past, and his heart was sour: "Where to go?" ”
"Of course I went to the government office, and the matter was in a uproar, don't you think that you, the object of being asked for your life, should go to the scene to see it in person?"
Whether it was a ghost or a deliberate frame-up by a gangster, you have to see with your own eyes to know.
Wan Bingyu followed He Nianbing to the mansion.
At this time, the entrance of the government was full of people, all the people who had nothing to do and wanted to join in the fun, and it took a lot of effort for Lord Yin Shen of Kyoto Prefecture to let the officials drive the people away. He stood at the door, and as soon as he reached out to touch the sweat on his forehead, he saw the two people walking against the flow of people to the mansion.
He Nianbing he recognized, a rookie in the court, the person who was most likely to become a general of soldiers and horses, I don't know how many people in the court wanted to flatter him, even if Lord Shen didn't go, he had met a few times.
As for the one who followed Crane Nianbing, he must be the owner of Yuxin Fang, Wan Bingyu.
When there were rumors in the capital that the two of them had an affair before, Lord Shen still didn't believe it, and felt that it was impossible for an excellent person like He Nianbing to fall in love with a widow, after all, Wan Bingyu had a bad reputation and a bad family background.
It wasn't until today, when he saw the two of them coming together, that Lord Shen believed that the rumors were true.
These two people stand together, as if they are a world of their own, and there is no better match in the world.
Wan Bingyu was busy observing the surrounding situation and didn't pay attention to Lord Shen's gaze, but He Nianbing found out, he subconsciously protected the person behind him, and then opened his mouth to see the mountain and said to Lord Shen: "We want to see the corpse of Master Xu." ”
