Chapter 229: Lao Yan is dead
Coming out of the county office, Hu Man was a little relieved, after all, Ji Mo's talent was much higher than that of the county order, since he was willing to check carefully, he should have something to gain, look, the problem that she and Wu Hua Wuqing ignored was not just clicked on by others?
As for Lin Qianqian, she didn't bother to look for her, for the kind of person who has no bottom line of shame, it's useless to expect to wake her up, she can only be angry with herself, or she will collapse once, so that she can't turn over again!
What can be done now is to observe and wait, Hu Man passed by and went to Yu Yuan Restaurant, originally wanted to tell him to go to Wufu to pick up spices another day, but unexpectedly saw a familiar person in his restaurant.
"What's wrong, Miss?" Ye Zhi saw Hu Man standing in the middle of the restaurant without advancing or retreating.
Hu Man squinted and looked at it, it was indeed Qi Liyun's younger brother Qi Yungui, he was different from the appearance that Hu Man had seen before, he was laughing and eating with a few people, very flamboyant, he was still in Qingtang County?
"Let's go!" Hu Man twisted his eyebrows and went to the backyard.
"You're here?" Yu Shuyan was called out by the guy: "I was just going to find you!" ”
"You don't need to look for it, you can send someone to Wu Mansion in a while." Hu Man looked at the second floor: "It's hard to come back once, you can invite me to dinner!" ”
Yu Shuyan smiled: "I can't ask for it!" ”
The three of them arrived at the private room and ordered a few dishes, and Hu Man asked curiously, "Do you know Qi Yungui?" ”
"Qi Yungui?" Yu Shuyan twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while: "The brother-in-law who took office as the county commander? ”
"Well, has he always been in Qingtang County? What are you doing? ”
"Isn't he going to marry Lin Qianqian?"
"Ahem!" Hu Man almost choked on his own saliva: "Who are you talking about?!" Him and Lin Qianqian? How did the two of them get together?! ”
Yu Shuyan spread his hands: "Then who knows?" However, he seems to have a lot of assets in his hands, and this time the Lin family can defeat the Wu family at one time, whether it is money or effort, he has contributed a lot! ”
Hu Man understood after a little thought, this Qi Yungui previously said that he liked Wu Hua, and he should not like Lin Qianqian, I was afraid that he didn't have that ability, so he used the hands of the Lin family to retaliate, and sure enough, there was a nest of snakes and rats, and these dirty villains all gathered together.
Yu Shuyan picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Ye Zhi by the way, and when he pushed another cup to Hu Man, he was intercepted by Ye Zhi with one hand: "Boss Yu, Miss can't drink strong tea!" ”
Yu Shuyan raised his eyebrows: "How do I remember that your young lady likes to drink tea very much?" ”
Before Hu Man could say anything, Ye Zhi said quickly: "Miss may be pregnant, I'm afraid it will affect the baby." ”
Yu Shuyan's face stiffened, he looked at Hu Man in shock, he couldn't say a word, Hu Man sighed lightly, and thought about it, so that he was completely dead: "Well, it's about it, just have some boiled water." ”
Yu Shuyan closed his eyes, and his voice was a little low: "Aren't you guys married yet?" ”
Hu Man pursed his lips: "Getting married is just a matter of time or time, and it doesn't affect me to have children, you should know my temperament, and I never care about this." ”
Yu Shuyan was completely in no mood, he was looking forward to it, but it was such news! If she has become a woman in martial arts, Yu Shuyan can still make herself not mind because of her liking her, but with a child, it is completely different!
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Hu Man was silent, fortunately, the food came up quickly, Hu Man buried his head in eating, the two didn't talk anymore, Hu Man wiped his mouth and got up after eating: "That, then I'll go back first, you remember to let someone pick up the goods." ”
When the two of them came out of the restaurant, Hu Man breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at Ye Zhi with a normal face: "Did you do it on purpose?" ”
"What?"
"Don't pretend!" Hu Man rolled his eyes: "You think I don't know your little thoughts?" ”
Ye Zhi saw that Hu Man didn't mean to be angry, so she said: "At first glance, he is not pure in his mind about Miss, and he can make up nonsense to trick Miss back, so that Miss is worried, if Wu Gongzi will never do this!" ”
Hu Man couldn't cry and laughed: "You are his loyal supporter!" He can't even see it, and you're still speaking for him. ”
Yezhi can't deny it, anyway, she followed Hu Man, Hu Man is with Wu Zhan, she has also seen the two are not intense, but very strong feelings, she envies, and hopes to go on like this, after all, she thinks that compared to the uncertain weather, there is also the third prince of the wife's room, and this selfish boss Yu, or Wu Zhan is more dedicated and responsible, and his love for Miss is also more tolerant and considerate.
When I arrived at the gate of Wu's mansion, I happened to meet Wu Qing coming back: "Sister-in-law." ”
Hu Man saw that his nose was red from the cold: "Why don't you know how to wear more?" Do you think that when you get better, you can waste it at will? ”
"It's good that it's not so cold in the morning!" Wu Qing rubbed his hands: "Come in!" I don't care, sister-in-law, don't freeze! ”
After entering the lobby, it took two cups of hot tea to ease up, Wu Qing rubbed his hands: "The things outside have been settled, and everything that should be paid back has been paid off, but the Wu family's talent industry has also completely collapsed." ”
"Don't worry, you're all still young, and there will be opportunities in the future." Hu Man held the hot water cup in both hands: "You have to calm down the emotions of the painting now, Master Wu's illness has made her anxious enough, as long as everyone is in good condition, everything else is easy to say." ”
Wu Qing nodded: "Sister-in-law, how is the third child?" He had to change his name at that time, and his father actually agreed, and the last letter only said that he was admitted to the list, and he didn't say anything else. ”
"It's okay right now." Hu Man thought: "He's not a child anymore, I think he is quite measured, and now his official rank is still low, it is impossible to compete with the third prince, presumably he won't touch the stone with an egg, and he will be fine for the time being." ”
The two were talking, and suddenly a family member hurriedly ran over: "Oh no, uncle!" Something happened to Lao Yan! ”
Wu Qing stood up suddenly: "Old Yan? What happened to him? ”
Jia Ding gasped: "It was said that he hanged himself at home, and the people from the official mansion just passed, and Master Ji asked the official to run over and hug the letter!" ”
Wu Qing just rested and hurriedly left: "Sister-in-law, you go and tell Hua'er!" I'll go first. ”
Hu Man nodded, his brows furrowed, what is this doing? When I arrived at the door of Wu's painting room, I knocked on the door, and found that there was no one, and the family who passed by said, "The eldest lady is in the master's room!" ”
Hu Man nodded: "I'll wait at the door, you go and call her." ”
After a while, Wu Hua came out with a cloak: "What's wrong?" What can't you say in the house? ”
Hu Man got into the carriage with her before saying, "Someone from the county government just now said that the old Yan you said is dead!" ”
Wu Hua's eyes widened: "Who are you talking about?!" ”
"The guy you said had been with your dad the longest! Or hanged himself! ”
Wu Hua's eyes turned red: "What... How so? Why? ”
Hu Man could only guess: "If it's suicide, it maybe... It is suicide in fear of sin. ”
"Impossible!" Wu Hua's voice was slightly higher: "It can't be his!" Something happened at that time, but Dad didn't suspect him! Dad saved their family! He has also worked diligently for the Wu family for more than ten years! ”
Hu Man patted her on the back: "Don't get excited! The specific results will not be known until the results come out! ”
When I arrived at the place, Yezhi helped Hu Man get out of the carriage, and saw that there were already a lot of people watching the excitement at the door, and several officials were maintaining order, and the two went to the front: "Is Master Ji there?" ”
"It's Miss Wu!" A servant nodded: "Yes, the lord said that you can go in directly when you come!" ”
The two were about to go in, but Ye Zhi grabbed Hu Man: "Miss! You can't see the dead now! Unlucky! ”
"It's fine." Hu Man has never been superstitious.
"yes, yes, you better not go in!" Wu Hua secretly annoyed that he was too distracted and didn't think about it enough: "I'll go in and take a look, you can wait with peace of mind." ”
Unable to resist the two of them, Hu Man could only wait outside, as soon as Wu Hua entered, he heard a howling cry, his pace slowed down a little, and he didn't know how to face it.
It happened that Wu Qing came out and saw Wu Hua's pale face, so he hugged her: "Don't look at the painting!" ”
Wu Hua choked up: "Really, it's hopeless?" What the hell is going on? ”
Wu Qing sighed lightly: "The corpse has to be carried back to the county government for examination, and the results can be conclusive!" ”
Ji Mo also came out with white gloves, and the official behind him carried a shelf, on which were lying people covered with white cloths, and Wu Hua's tears suddenly couldn't be contained: "Uncle Yan! "This is the elder who watched her grow up! She didn't believe that he would be the one who betrayed the Wu family!
"Old Yan! You're just leaving, but what can we do! A teenage boy chased Yan out who was about to cry and faint, and grabbed Lao Yan's body.
Wu Hua went over to help her up: "Auntie, let the staff check it clearly, and it's good to return Uncle Yan's innocence!"
Yan looked up at Wu Hua with tears on his face: "Miss! Do you believe in Lao Yan? ”
Wu Hua was about to nod, and a catcher ran out of the house: "My lord! I found this at the bottom of the mat on the kang! ”
Everyone looked over, it was a stack of silver tickets, all of them amounted to one hundred taels, and after counting, there were ten of them, a whole thousand taels! That's enough for an average family for decades!
Wu Qing Wu Hua and the Yan family's mother and son were dumbfounded, staring at the silver tickets in a daze, Ji Mo patted it: "Yan, what do you say about these silver tickets?" "Everyone knows that a family like this has a few dozen taels of savings that is already very large, and it is impossible to have such a large sum of money! If you were so rich, you wouldn't have worked for someone else.
Yan was stunned: "My lord! Adults are aware of it! The women had never seen this money before! Definitely not our family! ”
"But this is clearly from your house!" Ji Mo put away the silver ticket: "Come on, take the Yan family into custody!" ”
"Your Excellency!" Wu Hua couldn't help but ask for mercy.
was pulled by Wu Qing: "This is a case, you can't do it by temperament, believe in adults!" If it really has nothing to do with them, at most it will be locked up for a few days, and it will be fine! ”
