Following the sound, it turned out to be the head of the family, walking out of the small pavilion next to the courtyard.
Judging from the sleepy look on his face, it was obvious that he had been lying in the pavilion for a long time.
"Hi..." After yawning, the head of the Ren family said vaguely: "You guys have come out. If you don't come out, I will almost fall asleep."
The old beggar frowned and said, "Master Ren, what are you doing?"
"Me?" The head of the Ren family pointed at himself and said with a wry smile: "Aren't I afraid that Mr. Wen will run out in the middle of the night for the so-called turning point and be in trouble?"
The old beggar frowned even more tightly: "What does Master Ren mean?"
"Hey..." Head Ren looked at Gu Ning'an, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Gu, what I'm going to say next is about losing my head. Are you sure you want to listen?"
Hearing this, Gu Ning'an said with interest: "Since we are all being targeted by the Sun family, we don't care to hear more about this matter, right?"
Seeing this situation, the head of the Ren family felt more and more unable to see through Mr. Qingshan in front of him.
He made an inviting gesture and motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.
Soon, Gu Ning'an and his party were sitting around the stone table in the courtyard.
After sitting down, the head of the Ren family gave up. He pointed at the old beggar, looked at Gu Ning'an, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Gu, do you know the identity of Mr. Wen?"
The old beggar rolled his eyes: "Beggar, what else could it be?"
The head of the Ren family did not respond to the old beggar's answer. He just looked at Gu Ning'an with a smile on his face.
Gu Ning'an paused and said, "My father-in-law Wen should be an official... to be precise, he was once an official."
"Oh?" The head of the Ren family's eyes lit up and he asked: "Then do you know what rank Mr. Wen has and what his official position is?"
After hearing this, the old beggar was sure that the head of the family had discovered his true identity!
Gu Ning'an smiled and said: "Fourth grade, governor of Jiangling Mansion."
"Mr. Gu!" "Mr. Wen, have you told him everything?"
The old beggar and the head of the family were both amazed.
Gu Ning'an pressed her hands and said, "You two, be gentler. I was just guessing, but judging from your reactions, I guessed it right."
The old beggar's expression changed, and he laughed and said, "Are you kidding me? I'm a stinky beggar, how can I be a governor?"
"Have you ever seen a beggar in a house who is the governor?"
The head of the Ren family pinched the stubble on his chin, frowned and said: "Okay, Mr. Wen... Mr. Wen, Yin, don't pretend... Mr. Gu, you can guess that Mr. Wen is not an official." It’s difficult...but how did you guess that he was from Fuyin?”
Gu Ning'an smiled and said: "When I entered the city, there was a portrait of Jiangling Prefecture Yin posted on the street notice, and there were some words of praise written on it."
"I recognized it at a glance. The portrait showed Mr. Wen's appearance when he was slightly younger."
"Why didn't I see it?" Mr. Wen's eyes widened, and his tone changed from exclamation to helplessness: "Now that you have discovered it, I will stop pretending... I am indeed the former governor of Jiangling. "
Gu Ning'an nodded: "In fact, it is the same now, but the one sitting on the temple has replaced the status of Mr. Wen?"
Head Ren's eyes widened: "Mr. Gu really hides his secrets. How can he deduce such secrets?"
Gu Ning'an said calmly: "The time is written on the notice, but it was posted a few days ago... But Mr. Wen has been a beggar in Gucheng County for more than 20 years. After thinking about it, I don't think so. Got an idea?"
The head of the Ren family cupped his hands and said, "I admire you!"
Bang!
The sound of heavy objects breaking came from the wing not far from the yard.
Head Ren frowned and said, "Is there anyone still awake?"
Gu Ning'an waved and said: "Since you have heard it, please come out and stop hiding."
"Why do you want to use the capital, sir?" The head of the Ren family had just finished speaking.
The doors of the two adjacent rooms, one on the left and the other on the right, opened at the same time.
Li Xunshan and Wei Hai walked out together.
The two looked at each other, and the former rolled his eyes: "Brother Wei, you have exposed me."
Wei Hai scratched his head and said with an awkward smile: "Hey, when I heard the news that Old Man Wen was the governor, I drank a bottle of wine and my hand slipped and broke the bottle."
While the two were talking as if no one was around, they walked to Gu Ning'an's stone table and sat down as if nothing happened.
"You two have been up in the middle of the night, and you guessed Mr. Wen's identity just like Mr. Gu?" asked the head of the Ren family with a curious look on his face.
Wei Hai shook his head: "I would never have thought in my wildest dreams that this old beggar was a high official! I didn't sleep because I wanted to keep vigil for everyone and prevent thieves from climbing over the wall."
"I am...I miss Yue'er. I toss and turn and can't sleep..."
Li Xunshan's words made Master Ren's mouth twitch. He felt an inexplicable feeling when he saw everyone gathering from the dining hall to the courtyard without missing a single person.
Previously, he recognized the identity of the old beggar. In order not to disturb other people, he deliberately left the show early and "hided" alone in the pavilion next to the courtyard.
The purpose is to hope that one of the people in front of you can know the identity of Mr. Wen, and one less person should know!
After all, what happened to Mr. Wen has already involved the royal family... It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a matter of losing his head!
The head of the Sun family, Mr. Ren, dares to touch it...but this royal family, even though he has nine heads, he doesn't dare to touch it at all!
The reason why Mr. Wen is prevented from traveling is because he doesn’t want himself or even his family to be implicated!
Now this is good, each of these people can "stay up" better than the other, and they don't want to sleep at night, because all the "cats" with big eyes and small eyes are in the house.
"If I had known, I would have just told you in the dining hall..." With a long sigh, the head of the Ren family glanced at the old beggar and said solemnly: "Old Father Wen, I'll call you Old Father Wen for the time being... ...It’s up to you to speak for yourself about your matters...I’ll add to the things you don’t know.”
At this point, everyone has become a grasshopper on a rope. The old beggar no longer hides and tucks him in. He picks out the key points and tells his experience... Twenty years ago, Wen Wen My father-in-law was the number one scholar in high school - appreciated by the emperor, he took the position of governor of Jiangling Mansion in one fell swoop.
When he first took office, many local officials gave him money, people, and homes... He confiscated these gifts, and he never let go of those who gave them...
Within a year, he had investigated all the people who gave gifts. Those who were charged with minor crimes would be thrown into jail and thrown into jail... For those with more serious crimes, it is estimated that the grass on the graves is now three meters high.
In the boundary of Jiangling, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the relationship between the "underworld" and the "white road" is complicated.
Mr. Wen offended so many people, but he was not assassinated...
Of course, this is also because he is the emperor's most respected number one scholar... In addition, although he captured and killed many people, he finally eliminated some "small fish and shrimps".
The real "big fish" is still swimming in the water, and no muscles or bones are injured at all.
However, Mr. Wen didn't intend to use "three fires as a new official" and bring him down as soon as they were burned out.
During his one year in office, he collected a lot of incriminating evidence about "Big Fish"!
Just waiting for the day when there is enough evidence, so that I can go to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit and kill the "big fish" in one fell swoop!
Who would have thought that the news that Mr. Wen had collected a lot of evidence was leaked... His wife and children were directly arrested by the people behind the scenes...
