Chapter 115: Return to Beijing
After Wan Ning knew her father's good intentions, she was moved from the bottom of her heart. Her hands trembled with the golden paper on which she had written a few sentences of "Shijiang", tears slid down her cheeks, she couldn't control it, and cried again.
Gao Ziang walked up to Wanning and took her in his arms.
Wan Ning raised her face, there was hatred on her face, and said, "You didn't tell me the truth, you were protecting me." Could it be that his father died in vain just to protect Wanning? ”
Gao Ziang lowered his head slightly, wiped away the tears on her face, stroked her cheeks, and said with concern: "Don't worry, Sister Wan, the sky has its own way, and Uncle Li will not die in vain." But you have to protect yourself. ”
"Then brother, what should we do now?"
"Everything is still just our speculation, don't jump to conclusions, and don't make a statement."
Wan Ning nodded: "Okay, I promise my brother." ”
Since Uncle Li was not infected with the plague, what was the cause of his death? Is it sick? But Uncle Li has always been in good health. Or is it really as Wanning said, someone framed it? Thinking of this, Gao Ziang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Uncle Li must have known the cause of his death, but he couldn't go back to heaven. ”
"I said that my father should not go to Sichuan at this time."
"As a courtier, who would dare not obey the emperor's order?"
"When did they do it? Was his father in the capital or after he arrived in Liangzhou? With her sixth sense, Wanning gradually decided that her father was victimized.
Although this cannot convince Gao Ziang, it does not rule out this possibility. He didn't want to argue with Wan Ning, so he followed Wan Ning's meaning: "We will carefully check all the items he touches, and no matter what, we will secretly look for clues to see if there are any clues." Sister Wan, we must do it secretly, after all, we are in the light, and they are in the dark. If Uncle Li really came to Liangzhou and was killed, it means that the people in this inn are not credible. If we find clues that are not in their favor, we are in danger. ”
"Brother, listen to you."
"Let's take the opportunity to pack up our belongings to find out, and you know about it, and we can't tell anyone else."
Although Gao Ziang said so, he felt that the hope of finding a clue was slim. I'm afraid that they have already destroyed the evidence, and they can do things under the noses of so many subordinates, and the means must not be easy to be detected. How can people find out afterwards?
"And we're afraid it's dangerous to stay here, and the longer we drag on, the more dangerous it becomes. Everything is packed up and it's best to get out of here as soon as possible. It's time to let the wind out, we're going to leave soon. Gao Ziang looked at Wan Ning's unwilling appearance and comforted: "Sister Wan, don't worry, uncle's affairs still need to be considered in the long run, and it will be useless for us to stay here." ”
Wanning was full of tears and promised: "Okay." ”
Wan Ning packed up all her father's belongings and brought them back to the house.
After another day of delay in the inn, as for the two of them to find clues, as Gao Ziang expected, they searched all the corners and did not find any strong clues.
just collected all the items used by Li Zhenghang, including clothes, bedding, teacups, tableware, etc.
At present, the two can only go back to the capital first, as Gao Ziang said.
The night before returning to Chang'an, Gao Ziang was still by Wanning's side. As before, Wanning slept on the bed, and Gao Ziang slept on the couch.
By this time, both of them had already fallen asleep, and only a candle flame remained, emitting a faint light selflessly.
"Wanning, you have a good rest tonight, and we will leave for home early tomorrow morning."
"Brother, I'm really unwilling to leave like this."
My father was originally good, but he lost his life when he came here, who was replaced, who can be willing?
Gao Ziang turned his face and said, "Sister Wan, I understand your feelings. But if it is really as you expected, Uncle was killed, the real mastermind behind the scenes should be in the capital, and Uncle Li has not provoked anyone in Liangzhou. The people here are only getting money from others and eliminating calamities with others. If we stay here for a long time, they will keep an eye on us, and even Uncle Li will not notice what they are doing, which shows how secretive they are. I think my uncle must also hope that you will leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. When we have strong evidence, it's not too late to arrest people! ”
Gao Ziang's words successfully persuaded Wan Ning.
Early the next morning, Gao Ziang ordered the people to have a good breakfast, and then took care of everything and prepared to go.
He also prepared a delicious meal for himself and Wan Ning: "Sister Wan, let's eat a little more heartily before we leave, so that we have enough physical strength." And you haven't eaten well these days, and your body can't bear it anymore. ”
Wan Ning drooped her eyes and said, "But brother, I still can't eat." ”
Gao Ziang, the eldest young master, really didn't have a little young master's temper in front of Wan Ning, in this case, Wan Ning still had to be strong, and still coaxed Wan Ning to eat: "Sister Wan, eat obediently, we have to be on the road for several days, this is the last full meal before we get home." ”
Wan Ning couldn't bear to let him down, and ate the fullest meal in these days. Of course, she also wanted to return to the capital safely.
All the servants were already waiting at the door.
At the beginning, the subordinates brought by Li Zhenghang were very loyal, did not abandon the master, and followed Wanning and protected Wanning.
Wanning, who had everything packed up, accompanied by Gao Ziang, finally picked up Li Zhenghang's urn and prepared to leave for the capital.
Her swollen eyes were filled with tears, and she whispered, "Father, we're going home." ”
After Gao Ziang heard this, his heart was sour, and the arm on Wanning's shoulder hugged her slightly.
As soon as she took a few steps, Wan Ning suddenly stopped.
Gao Ziang asked suspiciously, "Wanning, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I want to see the guest room where my father slept one last time."
Wan Ning came to the outside of the room and stood in the doorway, looking at the clean bed she had made with tears in her eyes, imagining what it would be like when her father was still there.
How she wished that her father had not left and would appear in front of her all at once.
Ten thousand reluctantly, I had to leave. Wan Ning finally turned around and took another difficult step.
In the carriage, Gao Ziang kept hugging Wanning.
Wan Ning felt very tired, she relaxed, collapsed in his arms, and didn't want to think about anything. The only thing is to think of my father, and everything that came to mind when my father was there flooded back to me.
Gao Ziang said: "Wanning, cheer up, your mother needs you." ”
Speaking of this, it made Wanning even more worried: "Since I was a child, I have seen my father and mother very loving, how can I explain to my mother?" As soon as she finished speaking, she buried her head in his arms again.
Gao Ziang was speechless and sighed lightly. After a while, he said again: "Sister Wan, no matter what, there is a brother with you." ”
