"Have you noticed anything when you came to Jing'an Mansion?"
Wei Zhuang pondered for a moment and replied: "Jing'an Mansion is a prosperous place, but there are very few pedestrians on the streets..."
The man nodded, his expression a little gloomy.
"To be precise, there are very few women."
Wei Zhuang was stunned when he heard this. Thinking back, he really hadn't seen many women on the street...
"Why is this?" Wei Zhuang asked.
The man sighed and began to tell.
"Well, three years ago, a major case occurred in Jing'an Mansion. The deceased was a woman. She was raped and then killed. It was very tragic."
"The government quickly solved the case, and the murderer was the son of the supervisor of Jing'an Prefecture."
"His son was captured, and the official in charge of the case advocated beheading the murderer. After asking the Imperial Yamen for instructions, he also got the approval."
"However, two days later, the official died at home, and the original death sentence was changed to a compensation of one thousand taels of silver."
Wei Zhuang and others frowned when they heard this. It was obvious that there was a big problem in the trial of this case.
"Is this case over here?"
The man shook his head and continued.
"After this case, Jing'an Mansion Supervisor retired, but his son did not stop there."
"After surviving the catastrophe, his son became even more lawless."
"The day after he was released from prison, the murdered woman's family disappeared, and she was found by the river a few days later."
"In that family of seven, the male body was not intact, and the female body was all raped before death..."
hiss--
Xiaoyu was timid, so she took a breath and grabbed Feng Shuwan's hand.
"How did the government convict him this time?" Wei Zhuang asked.
"No conviction." The man's face was calm, as if he was used to it.
"The government said no clues were found, so the case was shelved."
"What's even more ironic is that afterwards, the son of the palace supervisor even boasted to people in the restaurant about the process of killing that family..."
Having said this, the man suddenly looked at Wei Zhuang.
He said: "Young master, do you know why the inn in Jing'an Mansion is unwilling to accept you and your family?"
Wei Zhuang exhaled with a heavy heart, "Why?"
The man paused, looked at Feng Shuwan, and said, "The young master's wife is too beautiful. Those inns were afraid of causing trouble, so they rejected the young master."
"Does the prisoner's son still dare to kidnap openly?"
"dare!"
The man nodded affirmatively: "In the past three years, I don't know how many women have been kidnapped on the street and never seen again."
"This is also the reason why women dare not go out."
Feng Shuwan was a little angry. As a woman, she could empathize more with the victims.
"Does the governor of Jing'an live for a living?"
"Well, the eunuch is colluding with these officials. He just went to the imperial capital to report on his duties in the past few days, and the son of the eunuch has become even more arrogant."
"What are the names of the governor and his son?"
"The palace supervisor's name is Li Shenghua, and his son's name is Li Wei."
Li Shenghua, Li Wei.
Wei Zhuang remembered these two names firmly.
"Is it Li Wei's people who want to kidnap your wife today?"
"I don't know." The man shook his head.
Wei Zhuang was a little surprised by this answer, but what the man said next surprised him even more.
The man said: "Nowadays, many people will do bad things in the name of Li Wei. Li Wei will not deny it even if he knows about it, so bad people become more rampant."
"I'm not at home today. My daughter went to buy medicine for her mother. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the way."
The man took a sip of hot tea, his hands shaking a little.
His eyes were red and he knelt on the ground again, "Young master, now you know why I am so excited."
"If the young master doesn't come to rescue me today, I'm afraid my daughter will also..."
This kind of kindness is indeed very great for a man.
Wei Zhuang was silent.
He doesn't think he is great because he saved people.
Instead, he was ashamed.
As an emperor, it is incompetent for him to have such evil deeds under his nose.
At this moment, Wei Zhuang thought a lot.
…
After everything was tidied up, it was late at night.
Feng Shuwan and Xiaoyu went to the little girl's room, and the three of them slept on a big bed.
Wei Zhuang and Lin Bao lived in another room.
Looking at the brand new quilt on the bed, Wei Zhuang felt warm in his heart.
The family went to great lengths to entertain them.
At this time, the door to the guest room was pushed open, and Lin Bao walked in with wet hair.
Wei Zhuang looked at him and nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Bao looked cuter after being washed.
"elder brother."
Lin Bao was a little embarrassed wearing Wei Zhuang's clothes.
Wei Zhuang asked, looking at the way he hesitated to speak.
"Lin Bao, is your stuttering problem innate?"
Lin Bao subconsciously looked for paper and pen, but he looked around but couldn't find them.
So he could only bite the bullet and said: "No!"
"Did you learn that from others when you were a child?"
"No!"
Lin Bao was so anxious that he kept talking and gesticulating, "Mom, mother, mother... dear, scold me... scold me... just... stutter!"
Wei Zhuang listened for a long time before he roughly understood what it meant.
"Your mother scolded you when you were a child, and then you stuttered?"
"right!"
Lin Bao's eyes lit up, and he looked like someone finally understood me.
Looking at his sincere eyes, Wei Zhuang sighed, "It seems that your stuttering problem was caused by your mother."
"To put it bluntly, I was too nervous."
"Lin Bao, do you want to change?"
Lin Bao's eyes widened and he nodded vigorously.
Wei Zhuang thought about it seriously.
At some point when he was a child, he contracted a stutter because he was imitating how others spoke.
Later, his mother noticed and slapped him several times.
So that's it.
However, this method will definitely not work for Lin Bao. Wei Zhuang will not be able to do it when he looks at Lin Bao's immature face.
So you can only take your time.
"Lin Bao, please try if you can finish one word, pause, and then say the second word."
After Lin Bao heard this, he took a deep breath.
"I!"
After saying this word, Lin Bao stopped, but his face turned red.
The last word came out a few seconds later.
"able!"
Wei Zhuang encouraged him with a smile: "That's good. You speak slowly and don't be in a hurry."
"OK!"
After chatting for a while, the two fell asleep.
…
The next morning.
After Wei Zhuang got up, he went to the main hall. At this time, everyone was already sitting at the table.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Chen, I got up too late."
The man's surname was Chen, so Wei Zhuang called him Uncle Chen.
Uncle Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Young master, rest in peace. I have already prepared breakfast."
After that, the little girl from yesterday came in with a bowl of rice porridge.
Wei Zhuang ate all kinds of delicacies in the palace, and when he saw the rice porridge today, he felt a little emotional.
He remembered the days when he was working.
After he finished eating, Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"Sir, I thought about it last night and thought it would be better to go back to the countryside to avoid the limelight."
