Sang Nuanyue turned around and looked at Wu Anhou who was standing at the intersection. He was still wearing black. Even the cloak worn outside was black and rustled in the cold wind. This made his whole person look more majestic, solemn, suave and graceful.
But looking at his face again, it was extremely cold. The expression on his face was even more secretive, and the desire to explore was immediately stopped in the womb.
It's cold in winter, and Sang Nianyue has already put on a thick coat and skirt. In contrast to Shen Tingjun, he seemed not to feel the climate change and was still wearing thin clothes. The whole rock is as independent as a lone pine, and the breeze is like the breeze under the pine, high and slow, refreshing and clear.
He looks very impressive, but is he really not cold?
Sang Nuanyue took a sneak peek at Shen Tingjun, and her eyes met his, so she quickly averted her gaze.
She said she didn't feel guilty, but when she opened her mouth to speak again, Sang Nianyue's voice somehow became softer. It seemed that she knew from the bottom of her heart that only by doing this could people feel relieved.
Sang Nianyue said, "I have met the Marquis. Why did the Marquis return home at this time?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Sang Yuedeng realized that something was wrong.
This Wu'an Marquis Mansion belongs to Shen Tingjun. When does he want to come back, does he need to consult her cousin?
Sang Nianyue saw him frowning slightly, thinking that her words had offended him. But if you say it out loud, you can't take it back even if you want to throw away the water.
She hurriedly said, "I don't mean anything else. It's just..." She wanted to explain but couldn't. In the end, she could only sigh in despair, change the subject, and ask expectantly, "Why is the Marquis looking for me?" ? Is there some progress in the case? "
Shen Tingjun looked at her with burning eyes, not hiding the oppression in his eyes. He allowed this feeling of oppression to rage, as if he could see through her clothes and see into her heart.
Sang Nuanyue was very uncomfortable. Under his dark and deep eyes, all her thoughts seemed to be invisible. This made her a little embarrassed and a little unhappy, so she bit her lip and said, "If nothing happens, Mr. Marquis, I will go back first. When it is time for lunch..."
"Come closer."
Sang Nuanyue wasn't sure if she was hallucinating, so she raised her eyes and looked over.
She looked at him with her watery eyes, and Shen Tingjun's throat couldn't help but roll up and down twice.
He said again, "Come closer and I'll talk to you about the case." His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was trying to hide some emotion.
"The case has been tried? Is there any result now?"
Sang Nuanyue was so surprised that she walked up to Shen Tingjun in a few steps.
The distance between the two was too close, and she smelled the familiar scent of pine and cypress again.
The aroma was breathed into her lungs along with the cold air. Sang Nuanyue suddenly had an idea and her whole body trembled.
Seeing this, Shen Tingjun frowned even more tightly. In just a blink of an eye, Sang Nianyue took off the black fox cloak and wanted to put it on her.
Sang Nuanyue's seven souls flew away and two of them were frightened out of their wits.
She waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, I'm not cold."
"Would you shiver if it wasn't cold?"
He said this as if the thicker his cloak was, the more warmth he would be able to keep warm if he put it on.
Sang Nianyue stubbornly refused to take the cloak in his hand. When Shen Tingjun saw her avoiding her like a snake or a scorpion, his already cold face became even colder. But he didn't put the cloak back on his body, and threw it to Cheng Yi who was standing not far away.
Sang Nuanyue was a little anxious when she saw this. If the Marquis was infected with the cold because of her, she would be responsible for his death.
Besides... to put it bluntly, she expected him to put pressure on her case so that the officials would treat her seriously and punish her severely, so that the Wang family could completely give up on her, and she could move out of the Marquis Mansion and live a free life without any worries.
At this time, Mr. Hou was ill, and even if her case was not shelved, presumably because he was not watching, the Wang family used money to clear the way, and Wang Xu might have received a light sentence.
If she really stayed in there for three or two years and then came out, then what's the point of going through a lot of trouble and almost losing her life?
But Sang Nianyue couldn't say anything about letting the Marquis get dressed, so in the end he could only find a place with leeward wind to take Shen Tingjun there, saying that it was hidden here and wouldn't be seen by too many people.
I wonder if it was her imagination, but when she said these words, Shen Tingjun looked at her with a meaningful look.
…
The trial of Sang Nianyue's case has indeed begun. Because the prisoner was sent there by someone from the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, Jing Zhaoyin took the case very seriously. They worked overtime to interrogate Annoying.
At the same time, Cheng Lin and Cheng Yi reunited and arrested all the people who ran to Yu County.
The suspect Wang Xu and the nanny beside Wang Xu were also arrested and taken to Jingzhao Yin Yamen for interrogation.
But the result was not satisfactory.
The four Sun and Zhu people were timid and fearful, and they confessed that the culprit was Wang Xu before they even made a move, but the wet nurse stepped forward and blocked the vat.
The eight gangsters at the back were really tough. No matter how hard Jing Zhaoyin tried, they didn't say a word in the end.
It was only after Shen Tingjun came forward in person that they confessed that they had accepted the nanny's deposit to do the work. The wet nurse was using Wang Xu's name, but they had never seen Wang Xu, only the wet nurse.
When the Wang Xu family was interrogated again, Wang Xu family was neither naive nor stupid. She knew that she would never admit the matter.
Therefore, the nanny could only be convicted in this case, and Wang Xu successfully escaped from the law.
When Sang Nuoyue heard this, she couldn't hold her breath up or down, almost suffocating herself to death.
She thought about it a lot, but she never expected that after all the twists and turns, she almost risked the lives of herself and her brother, and only sent the wet nurse in.
Without one wet nurse, Mrs. Wang Xu can still have thousands of wet nurses around her. As long as this cancer is not removed, she will never have peace! There is always a sword hanging above her head, a sword that will kill her!
Sang Nuanyue was disappointed and confused. She didn't know what was going on in this world.
Can you really do whatever you want if you have money?
She also has money. As long as she puts aside her conscience, can she live a stable life?
Sang Nuanyue's eyes were red, and tears ran out of her eyes before she could speak. She grabbed Shen Tingjun's sleeve and asked sadly, "Master Hou, you know the truth is not like this. Wang Xu is the culprit, and the nanny is just the scapegoat."
Shen Tingjun looked at her plain white fingers, which were as green as green, fair and slender, and they were clutching his sleeves with such attachment. She looked at him with despair and heartache, praying for salvation.
Shen Tingjun's throat rolled up and down again, and he stared closely at her cheek, which was close at hand.
She still had a radiant face, but now her eyes were filled with redness, and there was a pool of spring water in her eyes...
Shen Tingjun's throat rolled even more violently, and his voice became hoarse.
He turned his head and stopped looking at Sang Nuanyue. He just said in a low voice, "I know, but it's a pity that there is no evidence."
"Yes, there is no evidence..."
Sang Nuanyue's fingers slowly fell from his cuffs. At this moment, she seemed to have been stripped of her muscles and bones, and her whole body became limp.
It was Shen Tingjun who helped her up in time, and Sang Nianyue didn't stumble and fall to the ground.
She looks so pitiful. It makes people want to take good care of her, but also makes her want to show off her beastly desires and wreak havoc on her.
When Shen Tingjun spoke again, it was with good news.
"Good news for you."
Sang Nuanyue raised her head casually, not having any hope for his words.
Wang Xu escaped from the law, and all her demands were rejected. She felt suffocated just by thinking that Mrs. Wang Xu would stare at her day and night and make her observe filial piety and kneel to pray all night long.
Life is still very long, but she feels that it has come to an end.
She didn't hold out any hope, and even her eyes when she looked at Shen Tingjun were blank.
Shen Tingjun said, "When Jing Zhaoyin examined the last eight gangsters, he found that they were supposed to be executed in the autumn of this year, but they were 'rescued' from death row by Chief Wang's move of golden cicada."
Sang Nuanyue calmed down for a while before she understood what Shen Tingjun meant.
She tightened her voice and said in a straight line, "The king's chief has bent the law for personal gain. Have his crimes been discovered?"
Shen Tingjun nodded.
In fact, this matter is not as simple as he mentioned.
Those eight gangsters had earlier committed a massacre in Yu County, which is the southern gate of the capital. They committed a crime in Yu County, and it was a massacre. The nature of the crime was so bad that it even reached heaven.
His Majesty personally issued an order to hand over the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial. The case did not come to an end until a few years ago.
Several gangsters were sentenced to death for their heinous crimes. Taking into account that July was the Thousand Autumn Festival of His Majesty's 50th birthday, the execution date was postponed until after autumn.
Who could have expected that after being sentenced to death by the Ministry of Punishment, these people could "escape" from Yu County Prison and commit evil again with the intention of killing others.
Because the case was decided by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the nature of replacing a death row prisoner was worse than the case of extermination. Therefore, the case was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment again early this morning, and the Ministry of Punishment sent people to Yu County to arrest Mr. Wang and other persons involved in the case.
Now, the people from the Criminal Department have already reached the halfway mark.
When Sang Nuoyue heard the news, her light eyes blinked twice. She seemed to be in disbelief, as if she thought she was hallucinating. Then he asked Shen Tingjun, "Are you saying that Chief Wang will be arrested and he may die?"
"Maybe."
Sang Nuanyue pursed her red lips, "But is this possible?"
Seeing Shen Tingjun looking at her solemnly, with a dark light in his eyes, Sang Nianyue thought that he didn't like her questioning, so she explained in a panic, "You may not know that although Chief Secretary Wang is just a chief secretary, Yu County is almost entirely under his control. People in Yu County say, 'The county magistrate is a flowing stream, the chief secretary is an iron man', and he is referring to the chief secretary Wang."
"In Yu County, he has great hands and eyes, and knows everything about black and white. It is said that people who don't deal with him have died due to various accidents. Some people even have their families broken up, and some people have rich families, but because they don't buy his account, the king's bookkeeper will Letting people wipe out their families... If nothing else, there was a tragedy in Yu County the year before last. The court later ruled that a few gangsters were responsible for the murder. However, the people who were wiped out were from a prominent family in Yu County. The family was rich in wealth, but so far not a single copper coin has been found. Many people say that the gangster is just a front, a pawn under command, and the culprit behind the scenes is actually the Royal Director."
Shen Tingjun's eyes were fixed on her bright red lips. Her two shiny lips moved up and down, revealing the pink tongue inside and two rows of neat white teeth.
There seemed to be a fragrance in her lips, and as she spoke, the fragrance gradually spread. Along with the light body fragrance on her body, the taste was so wonderful that Shen Tingjun gradually felt that his body was out of control.
However, Sang Nianyue still regarded his expression as suspicion, so she eagerly pulled his sleeve and shook it, "Don't think that I am taking the opportunity to frame and retaliate against the Wang family. I am not that despicable."
I was thinking eagerly again, and suddenly I had an idea. "The Wang family's private treasury has a secret treasury for the Wang family. I heard... people say before that the king's chief loves birds very much, and specially built a courtyard to raise some rare birds. In order to prevent anyone from disturbing those birds, except for the bird feeders No one, and the rest of the people in the mansion, can go even half a step closer to that area. I have thought about this before in the Master's Mansion. Lord Marquis, please send someone to look for it, maybe you can find the secret vault. Royal Lord Once he entered the bird forest, it took him at least an hour to come out. There must be something fishy in that area."
The Wang family has a secret warehouse, and it is built under the bird forest. Sang Nianyue figured this out after several years of thinking.
When she first went that way, she would always be "persuaded" to come back. At that time, she thought that she was disliked and treated coldly, but she didn't think about anything else. But the longer she stayed in the Wang family, the more she felt what kind of person her father-in-law was.
Sang Nianyue was lucky enough to see his temper, his scheming, and his methods several times, and she shuddered at them.
When the family murder case in Yu County occurred, Wang Wenju had not yet passed away, and Sang Nianyue's actions were not too restricted. That time she went up to a high place to enjoy the scenery, and was lucky enough to witness Master Wang entering the bird forest and then disappearing. Then after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly appeared on the ground again.
But she still didn't think much about it at that time.
Until Wang Wenju's death, she lived a miserable life. For a period of time, her mind was completely out of control, and she thought about all kinds of things all day long.
It was at that time that she felt that there might be something under the bird forest.
But all this is just her guess, without any evidence to support it...
Sang Nuanyue looked at Shen Tingjun, who was also staring at her.
His voice became hoarse even more, and he asked her, "Did you figure this all out yourself?"
Sang Nuanyue nodded hesitantly, "Yes. But there is no evidence, and I don't know if it is true or false."
"It's better to go look for him. It's best if you have him. If he doesn't, it won't delay his sentencing."
"...Will the Chief Registrar impose the death penalty?"
Shen Tingjun asked her, "What do you think?"
She thinks so!
Because the evil that Master Wang has done is truly too numerous to describe.
Not to mention whether he was the real culprit in the massacre, Sang Nianyue had vaguely heard that he took charge of lawsuits, accepted bribes, embezzled public funds, judged unjust and false cases, and he also bought and sold boys and girls in order to satisfy some People's selfish desires force girls into prostitution...
Of course, she heard all this in the back house.
But nothing comes out of nowhere, and flies don't bite seamless eggs.
She didn't believe that Master Wang was innocent, and there was no way he could be innocent either.
And Master Wang's crimes are heinous. If he is really caught and the evidence is found, the only thing waiting for him is death.
Maybe he will also implicate the Wang family, the Wang Xu family, and the two remaining brothers of the Wang family...
Sang Nuanyue's heart, which was already dead, suddenly came to life again.
Her cheeks were rosy, her eyes were shining with joy, she was relaxed and at ease, and there was an aura of liveliness and joy all over her body.
Sang Nianyue looked at Shen Tingjun with a smile and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Hou. Without Mr. Hou's help, things would not have gone so smoothly. I also want to thank you, Mr. Hou, for telling me the good news. When the Wang family is sentenced, I’ll treat the Marquis to a banquet.”
No surprise, today’s third update. I was overdrawn and went to eat. The babies enjoyed reading the article. If you have the energy, you can help me catch the insects. Thank you.
