Chapter 310: The Man Is Dead

In fact, if you are weak or not, this is all a matter of knowing in your own heart, and there is really no need to say it so directly.

Xia Guinian suddenly realized that this prefect didn't plan to leave any affection for himself today.

He opened a gambling shop, there must be nobles behind him, he didn't say it, he was low-key on weekdays, but Guo Minan should know in his heart, but now for a Wang Quan......

In fact, he didn't even know what was going on.

Xia Guinian's face changed slightly, and he looked at Guo Min'an: "My lord, Wang Quan is indeed a frequent visitor to our gambling house, and now he has committed something, I still don't know what he has done, but my lord, you sent an official to our gambling house to question, and I also told the adult everything I know, as for the matter between me and Master Wei, don't worry about it, right?" ”

It's pretty tough.

But Xia Guinian's hardness did not last long.

Guo Min'an has been hanging him for a long time after he threw out those words.

Or rather, it was to hang the people in this lobby for a long, long time.

He didn't speak all the time, and the plaque hanging high in the mirror hung high, taking advantage of his face, it was indescribably solemn.

It wasn't until a blue figure at the door of the mansion, stepping on small steps, in this November weather, running all the way into the lobby with beads of sweat on his head and a panicked look, that the silence in the hall was shattered.

Guo Min'an squinted his eyes, it was a small official that Bai An often carried under his hands, he couldn't call his name, he only knew that he had only entered the government office last year as an errand boy, and Bai An seemed to be quite waiting to see him.

Bai An also saw his panicked expression, as well as the sweat on his head, his heart tightened, and he lowered his voice: "What did you find out in the Wang family?" ”

The official nodded again and again, but this action caused Wei Ye's already clenched fist to tighten by three points.

Although Bai An's voice was deliberately lowered, it was too quiet in the lobby, and his words still drifted into Guo Min'an's ears.

Guo Min'an sighed: "What's the matter?" ”

Bai An took half a step out before the servant, and replied to Guo Min'an's words: "After I took someone to see Wang Quan's father and mother in the Wang family, I was busy with other things, but Wang Quan disappeared inexplicably, and his father's words may not be completely credible, so I left a team of people to search in the Wang family." ”

Guo Minan seemed very satisfied with this, in the end, Bai An has been with him for many years, and he has always valued Bai An, doing things in an orderly manner, and he is indeed an idea.

He nodded slightly, and then looked at the official who had trotted all the way into the door before: "What did you find out in the Wang family?" ”

In the backyard of the Wang family, a corpse was dug up, and Wang Quan's father and mother saw it repeatedly, and also called his daughter-in-law to see it, it was Wang Quan. Merely...... It's just ......"

He didn't say anything anymore, Guo Min'an's eyebrows bulged up a small peak, and his intuition was not good: "It's just how?" Are people no longer able to distinguish their appearances? Why do you have to ask his father and mother to confirm with his daughter-in-law repeatedly? ”

The servant swallowed his saliva: "If you go back to the adult, you just can't distinguish the appearance, you have disfigured your appearance, there is no good place on your face, you can't see anything, and the corpse is ...... It's really miserable, Wang Quan's right arm was also cut off, I don't know where the deep hatred came from, killing people, and trampling on corpses, it's really evil, and buried under the backyard wall of someone's house, isn't this disgusting! ”

He said that he was a little indignant, but Bai An noticed that Guo Min'an was a little distracted, obviously not here, so he stepped forward, pulled the cuffs of the servant, and saw him look back at himself, so he shook his head at him, and threw a look at the throne.

The official was a little hindsight, and when he looked at it at this time, he realized that Guo Min'an was in a trance.

Wei Ye also seemed to be taken aback, this is so good, why did he die?

It took Guo Minan a long time to come back to his senses: "What about his father?" ”

The official said twice: "I didn't bring it back to the government at this time, I went to the years, and suddenly dug up my son's body from the backyard of my house, and the old couple cried to death several times, and I really couldn't bring it back to talk back at this time, so I detained the person in their house first, and the villain came back to the adult to see if he brought the person back to the government office, or continued to detain him at home, and arranged for someone to watch the prison." ”

Guo Min'an lowered his head and swept over the kneeling people in the hall, then raised his eyes to look at the servant, and finally fell on Wei Ye's body.

Wei Ye had actually been secretly looking at Guo Min'an all along, and at this moment, Leng Buding collided with his gaze, and his heart was shocked: "Lord Guo? ”

"Wang Quan died, you don't seem surprised at all?"

Wei Ye twisted his eyebrows, stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, Guo Min'an was ...... Suspicious of him?

Why?

His first reaction was that he couldn't figure out what Guo Minan wanted to do.

Wei Ye took a breath in his chest, and naturally he also held his breath, he took a deep breath, his chest rose and fell violently, and so on several times before he calmed down a little: "What my lord said, I don't understand, what is my surprise?" What's not surprising? Wang Quan is a slave of our Wei family, and he also has a deed of sale, but he is not a slave born in the family, how many years, I may not even look at him with a straight eye. Isn't this time out of the jade pendant...... In short, adults know very well, what kind of person I am, after so many years in Qizhou City, although I am not easy to embarrass people, but I must be a person who will be repaid. Wang Quan eats my Wei family, uses my Wei family, takes my monthly silver, and steals my Wei family. Now that he is dead, I will not hide it from my lords, I think he died well, and such a person is just a scourge to live. But the adults asked me if I was surprised—"

He raised his chin and raised his eyebrows: "Actually, in the end, it's just an irrelevant person, he is dead, what does it have to do with me?" ”

In this way, it may seem cold-blooded and cold-hearted, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case.

Wang Quanquan is dead or alive, and has nothing to do with Wei Ye, and Wei Ye actually hates this slave in his heart.

Guo Min'an pursed his lips, as if he put Wei Ye's words on the tip of his tongue, savored them carefully, and then sent away the previous servant: "You go back and bring Wang Quan's daughter-in-law to the hall, as for his father, temporarily appease the Wang family and send someone to guard it, after all, old people, if you want to ask, then pass it on to the court." ”

The official answered, and ran out without mentioning it.

He probably really cared about the affairs in the yamen, or Bai An's guidance was good, so he went and returned quickly, and it only took a stick of incense before and after.

When he entered the door again, he was followed by a woman in her early thirties, her eyes were red from crying, and she looked a little unconscious.

Guo Min'an turned the startling wood in his hand and patted it gently, which brought back the woman's thoughts.

The previous little servant stepped forward half a step forward: "My lord, this is Wang Quan's daughter-in-law Ning." ”

Guo Min'an sighed twice, and when he saw Ning kneeling, he happened to kneel beside Xu Dazhuang, and he glanced sideways: "Ning, didn't Wang Quan often go home in the past?" ”

He was straight to the point, and he didn't go around the bend with Ning at all, Ning was shocked by his surprise before, and now he listened to his question, and gradually came back to his senses, and nodded almost without thinking: "He often doesn't live at home, especially in the past two years." It used to be better, but in the past few years, he would sometimes suddenly bring home a large sum of silver, and he would not ask us to make a noise, nor would he ask us to ask for directions, and sometimes he would suddenly not go home for several days to have a look, and suddenly he would appear and ask his family for money, and still would not ask us to ask him what he was going to do with it. Actually, ...... later"

"What happened?" Ning Shi sobbed again as he spoke, and his voice stopped abruptly here, and Guo Min came to his senses, "Did you find him strange later?" ”

Ning nodded: "I have been married to Wang Quan for so many years, I know what virtue he has, if he wants to say that he has other livelihoods outside to earn money, and the errand of the Wei family, he has long since stopped doing it, so I followed him and stared at him for a while, and found that he stole the Wei family's things and sold them, but ...... But no matter how I counted the money at home, I still felt that something was wrong. ”

"Something is wrong?" Guo Minan was stunned, "What do you mean by what you mean when you say something is wrong?" ”

"My lord, Wang Quan has taken home more than three thousand taels of silver for the most time-" Ning suddenly raised his head, looking a little excited, "We ordinary people, we can't see so much silver in our lives." When he handed it to me, I didn't even dare to reach out and take it, and God knows what he was doing out there to bring home so much silver. And it's been so long, the Wei family's errand, he is still doing it, so how much silver is there? His monthly silver for a month is no more than two taels of silver, that is, during the New Year's holidays, the lord and wife of the Wei family are kind-hearted, and they reward the minions below, and he is so shameless that he can get at most one or two more. Three thousand taels of silver, he worked in the Wei family all his life, and he couldn't earn that much. ”

As soon as Ning's words came out, Guo Minan was stunned.

He originally thought that the Ning family just didn't know that Wang Quan had frequently stolen things from the Wei family and sold them, and a woman like her had no knowledge, and she didn't know how much silver Wang Quan stole was worth and how much silver she could sell, so Wang Quan frequently brought silver home, dozens of taels, hundreds of taels, she felt uneasy and very strange.

However, Guo Minan never expected that Wang Quan would bring home 3,000 taels of silver with one hand.

He is not from a poor family, his father also ran a shop in the past, but the business is small, all for him to study hard, hoping that he will one day get ahead, and then he is in high school, and his father will close the shop.

At that time, his father worked hard all year round, got up early and greedy for darkness, and earned a maximum of one hundred and eighty taels, and that was already very good, if the year was not good, after a year of hard work, he might not even be able to earn fifty taels of silver, the size of the family, and then for him to study, he still had to tighten his belt to live, and he couldn't wait to hang his mouth.

As for the fact that he had a career later, he saw a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles, and he also saw a lot of people who did business, and slowly knew that a big family like the Wei family had a big business, and it was common for thousands of children to come down in a year, but it was just a good year.

But what about Wang Quan?

Wang Quan didn't have a regular business outside, and he relied on the monthly allowance given to him by the Wei family to support his family, so why could he bring back three thousand taels of silver? And according to Ning's statement, it was only the time when Wang Quan brought back the most silver, and he would bring it home every once in a while.

He subconsciously looked at Xia Guinian: "Won in your gambling house?" ”

But Xia Guinian obviously hesitated.

He didn't hesitate to pay attention, Guo Min immediately became suspicious, and raised his voice to call Bai An.

Bai An stepped forward and called my lord.

Guo Min'an sneered: "You take people to Wangxing Gambling House again, and the official wants to check their accounts!" ”

Xia Guinian's pupils dilated: "My lord, the grass people have never done anything corrupt and perverted the law, they are good, if they want to check the accounts of the gambling house, adults must have a serious reason, right?" ”

"Serious reasons?" Guo Minan muttered these five words and asked back, "What do you think is a serious reason?" Wang Quan is a frequent visitor to your gambling house, you said it personally, and you have a lot of dealings with you, and you admit it yourself, now that others are gone, he died in the backyard of his own house, Ning said that he had brought a large amount of silver to his home many times, and the most one was as high as three thousand taels - Xia Guinian, the official has every reason to suspect that it was Wang Quan who won the silver in your Wangxing gambling house, and you were jealous of him, committing murder, and now the official wants to check your account, in order to see if you are innocent, this reason, Xia shopkeeper thinks, is it enough? ”

Xia Guinian even trembled at his fingertips: "My lord, you are groundless, you planted it out of thin air, and the grass people are not convinced!" ”

But no matter how unconvinced he was, the facts were in front of him, Wang Quan was indeed dead, and he died so miserably.

Although Guo Minan hasn't figured out why he killed someone, ruined Wang Quan's face and cut off Wang Quan's right arm, but at present, it seems that his death must be very strange, and Xia Guinian's reaction is inevitably too radical.

He calmed down and thought about it, and called Bai An again: "Bring more people, inquire carefully, Wang Quan has not appeared in Wangxing Casino in the past two or three days!" ”

In this way, he is really doubting Xia Guinian.

Xia Guinian's expression was awe-inspiring: "My lord, just relying on Wang Ning's words, you are suspicious of the grass people, and you want to check the accounts of the gambling house, aren't you afraid that someone will be dissatisfied with your behavior and have anything wrong with you?" ”

"What do you mean is that you are opening a gambling house in Qizhou City, and there are nobles behind you to help you, and there are also nobles to support you, and this official wants to move you today, and if you want to move your gambling house, you will only ask for your own hardship?" Guo Minan almost gritted his teeth and paused word by word, "You can, give it a try, and see, this official is not afraid!" ”
