Chapter 404: After Receiving This Letter

After receiving this letter, Zhao Gongzi was shocked and frightened, and immediately recruited several other officials to his mansion.

"What do you mean by this Lord Wei?" He took out the letter and showed it to a few people, who looked at each other and thought it was normal.

"Zhao Gongzi, don't be nervous, I just think this is a routine visit from Lord Wei."

"He's an official of the court, why did he come to visit me? My father is an official in the court, and I am still very clear about these things. The more Zhao Gongzi read this letter, the more he felt that it was not simple.

"Don't worry, Zhao Gongzi, I've already taken care of it before I wait, even if Wei others know anything, they won't do anything."

"Okay?" Zhao Gongzi smiled coldly, "I've heard of the name of this adult, who has solved a lot of cases in the Jiangnan area, and has never confiscated a penny of silver." ”

"It's true that Lord Wei hasn't accepted it, but that doesn't mean that Miss Shen next to him won't accept it! The Shen girl next to him used to be the Oiran of the Qinglou, and she valued these gifts the most, and she accepted all the things we sent. ”

"Oiran?" After hearing these two words, Zhao Gongzi's eyes moved, he had never gone out before because he was worried about causing trouble, and now hearing these two words, it is undoubtedly quite attractive.

"Zhao Gongzi, this person can't be touched," after discovering his thoughts, several people hurriedly persuaded him, "It's still your own matter that is more important now, once you annoy this Lord Wei, not only you, but also the adult will cause unnecessary trouble." ”

Hearing these officials talk about their father, Zhao Gongzi gave up this idea.

"Well, since you all say that this Lord Wei is more reliable, then I will meet him and see if it is like what you said."

Zhao Gongzi quickly replied to Wei Mingjie with a letter, and the two agreed on a time to meet, and at the same time, Zhao Gongzi also deliberately indicated in the letter that he wanted Shen Bing to participate, and when he saw this sentence, Wei Mingjie wanted to tear up the letter paper.

"Lord Wei, don't be so impulsive, it won't be good if you give up all your efforts." After Shen Bing read the content of the letter, he hurriedly stopped Wei Mingjie's movements.

Until the day the two of them went to his house, Wei Mingjie was still haunted by the content of the letter, and Shen Bing in the carriage only felt funny when he looked at Wei Mingjie.

"When I got there for a while, Zhao Gongzi must not have such an expression. Otherwise, I'm afraid you may be kicked out by them before you even enter the door. ”

Wei Mingjie knew that what Shen Bing said was indeed true, but he just couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, and it took a long time to adjust his expression to become less stiff.

After the carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, Zhao Gongzi did not come out to greet him, but came to greet two servants who looked older.

"This is Lord Wei, right? We will come out to meet our son at the behest of our son. ”

"You ......" Several guards next to them felt very rude after seeing their attitude, and wanted to go up to reprimand, but were stopped by Wei Mingjie.

"The official knows, I believe that Zhao Gongzi is also in a hurry, let's go in!" He gave the guards next to him a calm look, and then walked into Zhao Gongzi's mansion with the two servants.

When he entered, Wei Mingjie found that there was a hole in the courtyard of Zhao Gongzi, and if someone entered directly from the main entrance, he would be discovered before he walked to the house.

It seems that I didn't rush in before, and this is the right choice.

"I've seen Lord Shen, this is ......" Zhao Gongzi didn't expect that there were other people next to Wei Mingjie, he put his eyes on Shen Bing's body for a long time and didn't take his eyes off.

After seeing Zhao Gongzi's eyes, Wei Mingjie was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Bing, and at the same time successfully interrupted Zhao Gongzi's gaze at Shen Bing.

"Below is Lord Wei's staff."

When Wei Mingjie was still thinking about the wording, Shen Bing had already taken the lead in speaking, and Zhao Gongzi raised his eyebrows when he heard the word "staff".

"Lord Wei is really blessed, I didn't expect to have such a beautiful staff around me." Zhao Gongzi's words were all ridicule.

Wei Mingjie had a lot of resentment in his heart, but Shen Bing didn't care about it, seeing that she didn't care, Wei Mingjie didn't pursue it anymore, and several people came to the main hall and sat down.

"I will invite Lord Wei here today, mainly to apologize to Lord Wei."

"Oh? How can we apologize? ”

Zhao Gongzi smiled: "It's been a long time since I came down to Jiangnan, but I didn't have time to visit the local parents, shouldn't I apologize?" ”

"This official can't be called a parent official," Wei Mingjie waved his hand, "I'm just checking the case in Jiangnan by the way." ”

Seeing that Wei Mingjie didn't pay attention to his flattery at all, Zhao Gongzi was a little embarrassed, but soon returned to normal, he has seen a lot of such scenes, and this is a very common thing when he is in the capital.

"I don't know if Zhao Gongzi is still used to living in Jiangnan's generation?" Wei Mingjie did not ask Zhao Gongzi about the case, but talked to him about his daily routine.

"Habits are habits, but they are not as comfortable as the capital." What Zhao Gongzi said was the truth.

He came to Jiangnan from the capital in order to avoid that case, but he didn't expect that not long after arriving here, he learned that the case had reached Wei Mingjie's hands, and Wei Mingjie was originally from Dali Temple, and he happened to be sent to Jiangnan to investigate the case.

After he learned the news, he panicked at first, he didn't expect that he was just killing someone, and he was being stared at so closely.

In desperation, he wrote a letter to his father, replying that he asked several officials in the Jiangnan area, and when he learned that these officials bought the Oiran and gave it to Wei Mingjie, he felt that Wei Mingjie was also a person who could be wooed, so he was relieved.

"I wonder where Miss Shen is?" After Zhao Gongzi talked to Wei Mingjie for a few words, he hit Shen Bing next to him again.

In his opinion, the weakness of this Lord Wei is the Shen girl next to him, and he has heard several officials say that the relationship between Lord Wei and Miss Shen is very good.

"If Zhao Gongzi has anything to say, just open his mouth, there is no need to avoid Miss Shen."

"Since Lord Wei has said so, then it is not taboo in the future, I wonder if Lord Wei has ever heard of the case in the capital?" Zhao Gongzi tentatively inquired with Wei Mingjie about the case.

"This official has naturally heard of it, I don't know what Zhao Gongzi wants to know?" Wei Mingjie was going around in circles with him between his words, and he didn't want to tell him the real truth at all.

Zhao Gongzi hesitated for a long time when he saw Wei Mingjie like this, and he didn't know what to say, if he directly told Wei Mingjie that he was the murderer, what if Wei Mingjie arrested him?

But if he didn't say what he said, how would he know Wei Mingjie's thoughts?

"In Lord Wei's opinion, what will be the outcome of this case?"

"Naturally, the murderer was caught and dealt with according to the law." After listening to Zhao Gongzi's words, Wei Mingjie said without thinking.

Dealt with according to the law? After hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on Zhao Gongzi's forehead, wasn't the person who was disposed of according to him himself?

"I wonder if this matter is still negotiable?" While Zhao Gongzi was talking to Wei Mingjie, he secretly revealed the corner of the silver ticket.

Wei Mingjie and Shen Bing all saw his action, it seemed that this Zhao Gongzi had been prepared for a long time, and felt that Wei Mingjie was the kind of person who could do anything for money.

"Well...... It depends on what the murderer has done. ”

Wei Mingjie and Shen Bing took the initiative in a hurry here, while Zhao Gongzi on the other side was a little anxious, he wanted to ask Wei Mingjie what he would do at first, who would have thought that Wei Mingjie had been going around in circles with him.

"That's it!" Zhao Gongzi slapped the table and stood up violently, "Today, the Ming people don't say secret words, so let's explain all this matter to Lord Wei in the future!" ”

Then this Zhao Gongzi told Wei Mingjie everything that happened, and it turned out that he killed that person only because they had a small quarrel when they met on the street and bumped into each other.

Originally, this matter had passed, but after returning to the house, the more Zhao Gongzi thought about it, the more angry he became, so he called a group of people to come to the door and kill the vendor.

When he went through prison and came out of prison, he knew that he could no longer stay in the capital, so he ran to the Jiangnan area.

Unexpectedly, Wei Mingjie also went to the Jiangnan area because of this case, Zhao Gongzi knew that he had no way to avoid it, and he decided to meet Wei Mingjie when he was desperate.

"Lord Wei, you must help!"

At this time, Zhao Gongzi completely changed his face, as if he pinned all his hopes on Wei Mingjie.

As he spoke, he took out the silver ticket in his hand, all of which were stuffed into Wei Mingjie's hand, and Shen Bing roughly counted them beside him, at least more than five hundred taels, which was enough for most of an ordinary family's life.

Wei Mingjie looked at Zhao Gongzi's movements and did not speak.

"Why, isn't that enough?" After seeing Wei Mingjie's expression, Zhao Gongzi was a little panicked, and finally took out some jewels from his cabinet.

"I don't have many silver tickets, and these jewels, if Lord Wei likes them, you can give them all to Miss Shen, if these are not enough, I can also write a letter to my father."

After thinking of this, Zhao Gongzi's eyes lit up: "Didn't Lord Wei investigate the case in the Jiangnan area?" After this is over, you can immediately return to the capital, which is much higher than Jiangnan and more comfortable than here. ”

After listening to Zhao Gongzi's words, Wei Mingjie sighed: "This official has indeed stayed in Jiangnan for too long, and it's time to go back." Seeing that his words worked, Zhao Gongzi relieved himself a little.
