Chapter 29 Conversation
The green bricks are paved, the stone walls are green tiles, it is obviously an official's mansion, but it is unexpectedly simple and simple, Fu Qingqing stood in front of the door with the little attendant, nodded slightly, and said, "Peace, go knock on the door." Hearing this, I saw a young waiter with delicate eyebrows leaning forward slightly, and said respectfully: "Yes, eldest lady." Then he stepped forward quickly, pulled up the brass ring on the door, and buckled it down.
Knock knock, knock on the door, and the rhythm is smooth, extremely polite. After a while, I heard footsteps inside the door, followed by the sound of the deadbolt being removed. After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and when he looked up, he saw a young man in coarse cloth clothes, and asked softly: "Miss Fu, Fu Qingqing came to visit, and asked the little brother to report to Lord Shen." ”
The young man glanced at Ping'an, and saw that he looked polite, with a slight smile on his face, which really made people can't bear to refuse, and looked at Fu Qingqing, who was standing upright behind him, and replied politely: "It turned out that Miss Fu was here in person, I don't know what is important." My family is now dealing with government affairs, and if it is not an urgent matter, I and other attendants will not dare to disturb it. Please forgive me. ”
Shen Wei has never liked to make friends with outsiders, Fu Qingqing knows it in his heart, before, others in the family had seen his extraordinary ability and wanted to pull him under his command to do things, but because he was not used to the style of people in the family, he was reluctant to go out for details, so he let others wait outside the door for several hours, and finally let his popularity go. Today, when the attendant saw her as a woman, he didn't want to slap her face, so he gave her a step, wanting her to retreat.
Fu Qingqing smiled in her heart, Shen Wei, you really underestimated me. personally stepped forward and saluted the little attendant, so shocked that the faces of the little attendants present changed, and even the attendants of the Shen Mansion were taken aback, and hurriedly lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads to her: "Miss Fu Family, this is what you are doing, but it is a small thing." ”
Slowly straightened up, Fu Qingqing said: "Master Shen Wei has outstanding talents, Qingqing has already heard of it, and I came here today because I have doubts in my heart, and I can't resolve it for a long time. As he spoke, he took out a bag from his cuff, handed it to the attendant, and lowered his voice: "Tell Lord Shen that Lord Yang Ming asked me to come." When the attendant heard this, his expression changed suddenly, and Fu Qingqing continued the movement of her hand and said, "This little meaning is not a respect." ”
The attendant's fingers tightened slightly, and he pinched it without a trace, and in the bag, there was a piece of stationery, and his heart was suddenly like a mirror, and his eyes when he looked at Fu Qingqing instantly became more and more appreciative. He pretended to think about it for a while, and said, "In this case, please wait a while, and the little one will go and report to my family." He bowed again and turned to enter the door.
After half a cup of tea, I saw the attendant come back in a hurry, with a smile on his face, and said politely to Fu Qingqing: "Coincidentally, my family has heard the girl's name a long time ago, and I look forward to the opportunity to talk to you." It turns out that you are the famous princess Fu girl in the capital, let the girl wait for a long time, it is a faux pas for us, please come in, the adults have already laid tea in the main hall, and are waiting for the girl to go over. As he spoke, he sideways led Fu Qingqing and the others into the door, and raised his eyes to signal another cleaning attendant to close the door.
"Miss Fu, please come here. The attendant led the way in front, and Fu Qingqing looked around at the scenery. Sure enough, it is simple and elegant, it is really the style of an elegant person, and the admiration for Shen Wei in my heart is a little more.
This is not the way to the main hall, Fu Qingqing had already found out, the attendant took everyone and turned a few corners, but brought her to the door of a quiet room, and then stood aside and said: "My lord said that the partition wall has ears, and the main hall is inconvenient for discussion, so it is the most suitable for me to bring the young lady to the study." ”
Fu Qingqing nodded, raised his feet and stepped forward, and was about to knock on the door with Ping'an and others, but the attendant said again: "Miss Fu, the adult's study is a private place, and the adult only said that he would discuss matters with Miss Fu, and the others ......" After that, he didn't say it, but the meaning was already obvious, Ping'an and others were not allowed to enter.
When Ping An heard this, he was a little anxious, but the Shenwu Jun told him, Miss is a woman, if she doesn't take someone to share a room with a man alone, if this spreads, it will damage Miss's reputation, and she wants to reason with the attendant at the moment, but Fu Qingqing raised her hand to stop her, she looked at the door of the study, the corners of her mouth raised, and said to the attendant: " Qingqing is a woman in a boudoir, if she enters the man's private place in such a grand manner, a lonely man and a widow, even if nothing happens, it will be spread out, it will definitely be a bad reputation, at that time, Lord Shen will take this responsibility and marry Qingqing as his wife?" How much Shen Wei hates the family, just look at Yang Ming to know, she doesn't believe it, he can really take the risk of marrying her and not let her bring someone in.
Sure enough, when the words fell, a low male voice was heard in the study: "In this case, then choose someone and accompany Miss Fu in." Fu Qingqing glanced at Ping An and said to the other two: "Jixiang, you just guard outside the door of this room, I will tell you if there is something." ”
"Yes, miss. The auspicious two bowed, listened to Fu Qingqing's instructions, and waited quietly aside.
He knocked on the door and asked softly, "Lord Shen, can Qingqing come in?"
"Please come in. The low male voice came out again, and Fu Qingqing led Ping An in.
After entering the study, Ping An stretched out his hand, closed the door, and followed Fu Qingqing without saying a word. I saw that in the study, an adult was standing in front of the desk, facing the door and looking at the two people who came in. Clothed in a blue shirt, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he looks upright. This momentum, if it weren't for the fact that he was holding a wolf pen in his hand and seeing people, he would not be like a literati, but more like a person who practiced martial arts.
raised his eyebrows, looked at Fu Qingqing and said, "Is it really Brother Yang who asked you to come?" Yang Ming's temperament is similar to him, he has never liked to make friends with people from families, and he has few female friends. But, clenching the bag in his hand, the contents of it had been taken out, read, and burned, and the handwriting on this paper was really Yang Ming's.
Fu Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled, walked closer to the direction where Shen Wei was standing, and said, "Didn't Lord Shen read the note in that bag, but you still know who got the handwriting." She knows her sweetheart's handwriting well, and she is naturally like a fish in water, even in the eyes of Yang Ming himself, she can't tell the truth from the fake, let alone Shen Wei.
Indeed, it is Brother Yang's handwriting. Why did he let you come?" Shen Wei temporarily believed Fu Qingqing's words, since Yang Ming asked her to come to him, he must have his own reasons, Yang Ming has always been cautious and clear in doing things, and he believes in his decision.
"Lord Yang told me that he wants to hand over the fire in Liuxiangfang to you for trial, but is there a matter?" As soon as these words came out, Shen Wei's only remaining doubts about Fu Qingqing were completely dispelled! This matter, Yang Ming only mentioned it to him, if it wasn't really trusted, if it wasn't really sent by Yang Ming, Fu Qingqing would definitely not know about it!
Shen Wei looked at Fu Qingqing's eyes, nodded solemnly and said, "Exactly." Brother Yang will propose a compromise to the emperor tomorrow and entrust this matter to me. ”
Fu Qingqing nodded, so it was, and then continued: "Then, I want to ask, what does Lord Shen think about this case?" She looked at the stacks of case files on the desk, it seemed that Shen Wei was also quite concerned about this matter.
At the mention of this, Shen Wei frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "In this case, Meng Xiu is the mastermind and the perpetrator. Murder first, want to cover up the crime, extinguish the mouth later, all the people in Liuxiangfang who were detained by the government can be used as witnesses, but ..... "Only human witnesses are not enough after all, if there is no rock-solid evidence, the people of the family, with their power, attack those people, Meng Xiu wants to escape the sanctions, it is easy." Thinking that the murderer can escape so easily, Shen Wei and other people who are led by justice in their hearts are so sad!
"Lord Shen, if there is a witness, why is it enough to be in trouble?" Fu Qingqing asked.
"That Meng Xiu, claiming to have never been to Liuxiangfang last night, had no idea about the fire in Liuxiangfang. Shen Wei gritted his teeth and said, he didn't need to see it in person to think of that arrogant face. Just because there is no evidence, all the subordinates in the Meng family are willing to testify for him, saying that he has never set foot in Liuxiangfang!
"Yes. "The people of the Meng family, how shameless they are, she knows clearly. After pondering for a moment, Fu Qingqing slowly took out the Meng Jiayu pendant engraved with the word repair from his sleeve. He handed it to Shen Wei and said, "Lord Shen, can you recognize what this jade is?"
Shen Wei looked at it carefully for a while, and then the surprise in his eyes became deeper and deeper, this is.... The Meng family's unique close-fitting jade pendant looked at Fu Qingqing in surprise: "How could this jade pendant be in your hand?!
Fu Qingqing ignored it and continued: "Lord Shen accept it, Lord Yang asked me to come over, so as to hand over such important evidence to you, so as to help you file a case for trial!"
Shen Wei took the jade pendant, slightly excited in his heart, but still puzzled: "Where did you get this jade pendant?"
This jade pendant fell in the willow lane, and Meng Xiu was looking for pleasure by himself, and when his clothes fell to the ground, he slipped out. At that time, a friend of mine happened to be passing by Liuxiangfang, and when he saw the fire breaking out, he kindly went in to save people, and accidentally found it, so he brought it back and handed it to me. The girl and bustard in the willow lane square should all recognize this object. "What Fu Qingqing said is basically no different from the facts, but this friend did not enter Liuxiangfang because of firefighting, but... imagined in his heart that Lin Xiao and Zhuo Yucheng went to Liuxiangfang in order to take the jade pendant, and there was a burst of laughter in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces, so they could only steal their own fun.
"I see. When Shen Wei heard this, the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared. Holding the jade pendant in his hand, he waved at Fu Qingqing and said: "With this jade pendant as ironclad evidence, then Meng Xiu will definitely not be able to escape." Miss Fu, for such help, Shen Wei is here to thank you. ”
"Lord Shen doesn't need to say thank you. Although I am a member of a family, I really can't get used to this kind of bullying and criminalization, and I will never let him go unpunished. Fu Qingqing returned the salute and said to Shen Wei with a smile: "Since this important evidence has been delivered, it is not appropriate for Qingqing to stay for a long time, so I will leave." ”
"Shen will send Miss. Shen Wei put the jade pendant in his arms, and he was about to open the door to personally send Fu Qingqing out of the house.
"Then thank you, Lord Shen. ”
