Chapter 240: Meeting the Rumored Uncle
The two of them tried hard many times but failed to get Wu Xun's confession, and finally had to give up, anyway, they had to walk for several days on the road, and they could always complete the tasks assigned above, and they really couldn't forge a confession of the prisoner, and they didn't do it.
In the dead of night, Ji Nuan took out a quilt and put it on his father-in-law, rummaging in the space for a long time and didn't find any food, Feng Xuanyu contacted her and asked if anyone had been found, Ji Nuan told him that someone wanted his father-in-law to give false testimony and frame him for wanting to kill King Lijun, and asked what the reason for this King Lijun.
"This person, he is an idle county king, and he has no weight among the emperor's relatives, I will make some arrangements here, and I will definitely save your father-in-law, and I have to think about how to use this matter to win over Wu Tong, that is, your father-in-law's eldest brother, he is a second-grade general, and he has a high prestige among the ministers."
"I'm really worried that one day I will be calculated by you, I will go to the capital tomorrow night, you should soak in the cold pool."
"Ji Nuan, whether you believe it or not, I have to say that I will not hurt and calculate you, not in this life."
Some things can only be proven by time, Ji Nuan's mind is very peaceful, she helped Feng Xuanyu just because of space and Xue'er, even if he became the emperor one day, he didn't want to get anything from him, it's a big deal that when he became the emperor, he took his family far away from the capital, and everyone should never know each other.
Early the next morning, Ji Nuan wore a hat and went outside to buy a lot of food and put it in the space, and gave him a cage of buns and a few oil cakes before those people came to take away his father-in-law.
"If only there was hot sauce, now I can only choke on the water."
"Father-in-law, now that we're on the road, let's settle for a while, and when this matter is over, let's go to the restaurant for a big meal."
Wu Xun is not as optimistic as Ji Nuan, after all, it is the emperor's relatives who died, I am afraid that this matter will alarm the emperor, it is obvious that there are still people who want to make a fuss about this matter, it is not a pity for him to die alone, he is most afraid of implicating the eldest brother's family and daughter.
"Don't think about it so much, with me, I will definitely think of a way to get you out."
"You can accompany your father-in-law to the capital, your father-in-law is already content, don't risk it for me, go to the capital to find your uncle, tell him not to worry about me, he must clear up the relationship with him, my daughter's father has saved some shops and silver over the years with your uncle, and those things are left to you, and they will be kept for you as a dowry in the future."
Listening to his father-in-law's words, Ji Nuan was moved and sad, at this time someone came over, the two stopped talking, and the official saw that Wu Xun was still dizzy, and it was normal to test his snort, so he ignored him and urged everyone to move on.
After nightfall, the officers and soldiers found a small shop, because the room was not enough for Wu Xun to sleep in the prisoner car, two officers and soldiers seemed to be from Qinghe Prefecture, and covered him with a piece of clothing, Ji Nuan told his father-in-law to go out by himself, and he must come back in the middle of the night, so that he should be careful.
Ji Nuan arrived in the capital as quickly as possible, and after seeing Feng Xuanyu and Xue'er, she asked Ling'er to go back to protect her father-in-law, and when Feng Xuanyu finished soaking in the cold pool, she asked Xue'er to send her back.
"The affairs in the capital are almost handled, I will accompany you over, in three days your stepfather should almost enter the capital, at that time I will come back half a day early."
Now that Feng Xuanyu has arranged it, Ji Nuan returned to his father-in-law, it took more than half an hour to go back and forth, Wu Xun was hungry when it was almost dawn, Ji Nuan asked Feng Xuanyu to give his father-in-law a bowl of noodles, and poured some red oil in it, Xue'er let all the people in the inn fall into a deep sleep, Ji Nuan walked up to his father-in-law with noodles and handed him the bowl.
"Girl, you go quickly, it will be bad if you are discovered by the officers and soldiers!"
"Don't worry, they're sleeping soundly now, you can eat noodles, it's still hot!"
The noodles were too fragrant, Wu Xun took the bowl and devoured it, and after eating, he asked Ji Nuan if he could still have a bowl? After eating three bowls of noodles, Wu Xun put down his chopsticks and urged Ji Nuan to leave here quickly.
"Okay, I'll leave immediately, those people will wake up one after another in a while, you will be wronged for another three days, and I will immediately find a way to save you when you arrive in the capital!"
Wu Xun wanted to say don't bother with that, but he couldn't bear to discourage his daughter's enthusiasm, so he had to tell her not to expose it, not to be impulsive, and to discuss with her eldest brother if she had something.
Ji Nuan agreed one by one, and the group walked to the gate of the capital three days later, Feng Xuanyu and Xue'er had returned to the capital in advance, Wu Xun was directly sent to the prison, and when he arrived in the prison, he woke up "leisurely", and the timing was just right.
On the way, he always wanted to let Wu Xun leave the criminal department, Ji Nuan knew that Feng Xuanyu would definitely send someone to follow them, so he didn't let Ling'er follow him, Wu Xun is a felon, it stands to reason that he should be locked up in the prison, and the waiter of the criminal department sent people to a relatively remote, but very clean room on the grounds that he had not yet been convicted.
Someone came to visit the prison in the evening, Ji Nuan didn't expect to see the uncle in this situation, Wu Tong carried a food box, which contained four dishes and a bowl of rice.
"Why don't you have any wine!"
"You're still drinking, if it weren't for the cat urine, would you be able to cause such a big disaster?"
"Big brother, I didn't kill that Lijun Wang, he provoked him first, I admit to beating people, but I really didn't kill him, he didn't die at all when I left. I'll tell you about this this time, don't get involved, don't come to see me in the future.
By the way, I'll let people take the money and things that are stored with you, it's a child, she goes to your house and remembers to give her things. ”
Wu Tong glanced at his younger brother: "Since you didn't kill anyone, then don't admit anything, you don't have to worry about other things, I will watch it." ”
"You ...... Why are they all so stubborn! ”
You, are there still people running around for his brother's business, Wu Tong let his younger brother eat, he paced in the cell, came home and was busy in the study for most of the night, and just fell asleep and had a strange dream. Someone showed him a scene, it was a picture of the conflict between his younger brother and King Lijun on the night when he drank too much, and when Wu Xun left, the King of Lijun was indeed not dead, but it was the two men in black who appeared later and killed him.
"Those two people were sent by the prince, and afterwards they wanted General Wu to give false testimony and frame King Yi as the mastermind behind the scenes, now that King Yi knows about it, save your brother and go to him!"
Looking for King Yi? Wu Tong and Feng Xuanyu have never been in contact, but they admire him very much in their hearts, he has the ability and courage, and the kind of noble bearing on his body is not even comparable to the prince, and the emperor seems to value him very much recently.
After so many years of fighting in the court, Wu Tong knows that if he wants to live longer, it is best not to stand in line among the prince and the prince, be loyal to the emperor, and listen to the emperor's arrangement. The crown prince and King Yu have all wooed him, Wu Tong's attitude is very clear, he is only loyal to the emperor, but he didn't expect that he must make a choice for his younger brother now.
