Mrs. Wang San didn't know what to say, when she saw the steward running over in a panic: "Mrs., uncle, it's not good, Jiangyin Zhixian is here with people from the yamen." ”

Mrs. Wang San panicked in her heart, the government came faster than she expected.

Mrs. Wang San clenched her veil tightly: "You are ...... Think of a way, how to say this, the government doesn't know what to ask. ”

Wang Yuchen's face was gloomy, he stood up and walked out.

Mrs. Wang's legs were weak, she sat on the brocade and hurriedly instructed the people around her: "Go and let the second master come back." "The second master is busy in the Wang family, and the third master has gone to Quanzhou and hasn't come back, and now something has happened, what should she do if she is a woman's family.

"Madam," said the steward, who walked forward quickly, "the master went straight out through the side door with the people, and there was no ...... I didn't meet anyone from the government. ”

Mrs. Wang San was stunned.

……

The news of the investigation of the Wang family soon spread to the Jiang family.

The Seventh Lady listened carefully: "Wang Er, this is ......" absconded in fear of crime?

Why run away if you didn't make a mistake? Leaving at this time must not be stumbling over the people of the yamen.

The Seventh Lady looked at Xu Qinghuan, there was still a look of disbelief on her face, she couldn't have imagined that Wang Yuchen was this kind of person, she had known the Wang family for so long, and she had never associated the Wang family with the Japanese people.

In particular, Wang Yuchen also helped the merchants deal with the Japanese invaders, and because of this, their Changzhou maritime merchants wanted to help each other through the most difficult days.

Xu Qinghuan said: "Otherwise, let's go and have a look!" ”

The Seventh Lady bowed: "If I don't go to the Wang family, I can't feel at ease." "Now Changzhou is really panicked, and I don't know when it will be a head.

Xu Qinghuan followed the Seventh Lady to the Wang family.

There were already several carriages parked in front of Wang's house, all of whom had come to inquire about the news.

Changzhou's maritime merchants are connected with fortune and misfortune, especially the people who are good friends with the Wang family are afraid, and they are only afraid that they will not be able to sleep day and night if they don't find out the truth.

Mrs. Wang's face was haggard, her lips were chapped, and her voice was hoarse when she spoke, but she had already coped with the difficulties after half a day's work.

Although it is not easy to deal with business difficulties, this time it is a life lawsuit, and the whole case is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Mrs. Wang San only felt that the whole person was about to explode, and the Wang family under her feet was also shaking.

"Madam, the Seventh Lady is here."

Hearing the next person's announcement, Mrs. Wang immediately raised her mind: "Quickly welcome the Seventh Lady to ...... Go in the small study. ”

The Seventh Lady and Xu Qinghuan sat down in the small study, and the Third Mrs. Wang quickly entered the door.

"I'm sorry for the two of you," Mrs. Wang San stepped forward to apologize, "There are too many people in the family, and there is no place to talk, so I will ...... The two of you are here. ”

The Seventh Lady immediately asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Mrs. Wang San pursed her lips: "I really don't know how to say it." ”

The Seventh Lady frowned: "Second Master Wang really killed someone?" ”

Mrs. Wang San immediately waved her hand: "I...... I don't know," she said, her gaze fell on Miss Xu's face, "It's no longer interesting to hide it now, what I'm saying is the truth." ”

Yamen found a small courtyard outside the city, found blood stains and the ornaments that the woman was carrying in the house, and determined that the woman was killed there, and that the courtyard was purchased by Wang Yuchen to store some goods on weekdays.

There were several bloody footprints in the room, similar to the boots Wang Yuchen usually wore.

Wang Yuchen's blood-stained robe and boots she hadn't disposed of, and she was also found by the government.

She really has nothing to hide.

Mrs. Wang San told the story before and after.

That night, Wang Yuchen didn't return all night, this was also a common thing, her nephew ran out every three or five days, and it was not for nothing that he didn't go home for a few days, but in the middle of the night, Wang Yuchen came back, and the little guy saw him in the yard with a lantern, only to see that he was covered with blood, the whole person was shaking, and his expression looked a little abnormal.

When the little guy heard this, he was very panicked and wanted to tell his family, but Wang Yuchen stopped the little guy and ordered the little guy not to say it, and he would deal with it after dawn.

It was a housekeeper in the family who found out the clue and told her that Wang Yuchen's hands and body were full of blood, and she was afraid that he had caused a big disaster, so she sent someone to check.

Mrs. Wang San didn't care about it at the time, thinking that the steward was exaggerating, but she didn't expect it...... It's all true, the bloody clothes are what she saw with her own eyes.

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips when she said this: "When I saw those, I knew that Brother Chen must have caused a big trouble outside, but I didn't expect it to be...... Something like that. ”

Xu Qinghuan looked at Mrs. Wang when she heard this: "Even if there is blood on the clothes and boots of the second master Wang, it is not necessarily the person who killed the woman's family of five, why did the third wife come to us to inquire about the news and go to Yizhuang with us?" You're just afraid you're not telling the truth. ”

Mrs. Wang's face changed slightly: "I...... I was just...... I happened to meet the Seventh Lady...... I followed to see Miss Xu, and then ......"

Xu Qinghuan said calmly: "Does the third wife still remember the woman's death?" ”

Mrs. Wang San couldn't help swallowing, thinking of the appearance of the woman's corpse was really frightened, not just killing people, but torturing people into that appearance.

What a cruel person it must be to do such a thing.

She couldn't connect Wang Yuchen with the murderer.

The Seventh Lady also frowned: "I didn't expect your Wang family to be so confused, and the matter is still being covered up to now, do you think the government can't find out?" If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. ”

Mrs. Wang San clutched the handkerchief tightly, and only after a while did she tremble: "Because...... For we know the woman, and she ...... She is the one who carried the courtier brother to us.

When the eldest brother's sister-in-law was lost, the sister-in-law was sad and anxious, so she got heart disease, so she ......"

Mrs. Wang San couldn't say anything, this matter involved Wang Yuchen's life experience, and she shouldn't tell outsiders like this.

Xu Qinghuan said: "You just found a child of the same age to appease Mrs. Wang, the original intention may be to make Mrs. Wang's illness better, but I didn't expect Mrs. Wang to really treat the child as her own son, and then Mr. Wang fell ill and died on the way to business, it may be that the eldest lord ordered it before his death, or you think that Mrs. Wang must always have someone to take care of her, so you let the fake mother and son become a real mother and son, and completely let the long house adopt the child, and the child is Wang Yuchen." ”

Mrs. Wang San looked at Xu Qinghuan in surprise, but she didn't expect this Miss Xu to know the truth like this: "Yes...... It was explained by the eldest brother.

Brother Chen also knew that he was not the biological son of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and he was more filial to his sister-in-law than his own son, and he refused to inherit the ancestral property of the royal family, and only wanted to fight for his own career. ”

Mrs. Wang's words are not finished.

I only heard the steward come and say, "The third master is back and looking for you." ”

Mrs. Wang San nodded, and was about to walk out the door quickly.

Xu Qinghuan stood up and saw two men walking into the courtyard, looking at the appearance of Mrs. Wang, the one in front of her should be Master Wangsan.

The person behind the third master looked to be forty or fifty years old, with clear eyes, a kind of scribe's wisdom on his face, and the majesty of a military general.

She knew this person, it was Xue Shen, Song Hou's military advisor.
