Not to mention how the Lei Mansion is, nor what Shen Tingjun is busy with now. It was only said that Sang Nianyue and his party left the ferry quickly and followed the address left by the nanny before.
The wet nurse and Uncle Wang live in a small courtyard.
Although the yard is small, three families live there. This makes the already small yard look even more crowded. In addition, the weather is fine today, and there are a lot of clean clothes, beddings, and shoes hanging out to dry in the yard, which makes the already small yard full to the brim, and everywhere is wet, leaving people with no place to stay. .
Uncle Li went to knock on the door. The wet nurse was talking to Uncle Wang at this time. She heard someone calling her in the yard, saying that someone was looking for her. The wet nurse did not realize that Shi Sang Nianyue and others were coming at that time, and she only thought they were servants from the Yamen. Come here to tell them about the latest progress.
The wet nurse walked out muttering, and warned Uncle Wang in detail: "The doctor told you to rest for a year. The wound is very deep. Even if the outside has grown, it will take half a year to grow new inside." Meat."
Uncle Wang chuckled innocently, "I know, I know everything. Stop talking about me. Go and see if the officer has found something out of interrogation again."
"Don't rush me, I'll go right away."
As soon as the nanny stepped out of the room, her surprised voice was heard in the room: "Old Li, why are you here?"
After hearing this, Uncle Wang couldn't sit still any longer and ran out of the house quickly. When everyone saw each other, they were all sighing. But now is definitely not a good time to reminisce about the past. Not to mention that there are two other families in the courtyard. At this moment, they are standing at the door and watching the excitement. Even what they want to say is not allowed to be heard by outsiders.
Therefore, although the woman next door asked the wet nurse, "Hey, sister, are you an old acquaintance of yours?"
The wet nurse just spat at her and told her to quickly go back to the house and take her grandson. Then he quickly stood up on his tiptoes, and leaned towards the door through the shadowy clothes and blankets.
Uncle Li knew what she was looking for, so he smiled and said to the two of them: "The girl is here too, waiting for you at the entrance of the alley."
When the wet nurse heard this, she ran out on her little feet, "Yes, the alley here is narrow, and a trolley can only pass through it. The girl came in a carriage, and the carriage will definitely not be able to enter the alley."
Uncle Li was still determined to tell the nanny about the girl's contact with Shen Hou. He was a man and it was difficult for him to say some things, but the nanny had given the girl big breasts, so it was easier for the nanny to say some things. Unfortunately, Nanny Wang was too impatient and ran to the carriage without waiting for Uncle Li to say anything else. Even Uncle Wang couldn't help but run a few steps when he saw Sang Ningyue standing next to the carriage and hugging the nanny tightly, and quickly came to greet Sang Ningyue.
There were a large number of families living in the small alley, and now many families had poked their heads out to watch the excitement. Sang Nianyue said, "I made a reservation at a nearby restaurant. Nanny, let's go to the restaurant to talk."
The wet nurse responded "Okay."
Sang Nuanyue looked at Uncle Wang again, who had an honest face, and saw that Uncle Wang was much older than when he had seen him a few years ago. And I don’t know if it was because of the previous fatal injury that damaged his roots. Even though he has been nursing for six months, Uncle Wang’s lips are still a little white. Moreover, when he ran from the courtyard to the alley, he was sweating all over his head.
Sang Nianyue felt very uncomfortable when she saw this. If it weren't for their brother and sister, how could Uncle Wang have ended up in this situation.
She saluted Uncle Wang and said with red eyes: "It's all because of us brothers and sisters that you suffered such serious injuries and separated you from your nanny for more than ten years. Uncle Wang, your kindness to us brothers and sisters I won’t forget it, so please accept my respect.”
Uncle Wang quickly waved his hand and said, "I can't help it." He also hurriedly shrank back. The wet nurse quickly picked up Sang Nian Yue and said, "My wife has given you a life-saving grace to your uncle Wang. As the old saying goes, a drop of water will repay you with a spring of spring. This is a life-saving grace. Your uncle Wang just took out his Even if you fight with your life, you have to find the eldest son, otherwise you will die without the shame to go underground to meet the master and his wife."
As more and more people gathered outside to watch the fun, they all got on the carriage and headed to the restaurant they had booked.
After arriving at the restaurant and going to the room, after the waiter had served tea and left, Sang Nianyue hurriedly asked how Uncle Wang was doing.
Uncle Wang just laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
The wet nurse said, "My vitality has been damaged. The doctor said it would take a year and a half to give birth. It looks good now, but his body is prone to sweating, and his energy doesn't look good. In the end, he still has to Raise it, just raise it more and it will be fine.”
Uncle Wang said in a muffled voice: "Don't be lied to. I, I'm fine."
Sang Nuanyue said: "Uncle Wang, regardless of whether my eldest brother can be found this time, you can't stay in Minzhou anymore. What I mean is that when we return to Beijing this time, you will come back to the capital with us. Retirement."
When Sang Nianyue said this, Uncle Wang couldn't help shouting, "That won't work, that won't work, we have to find the eldest son."
"Don't worry about eldest brother. If you still can't find eldest brother this time, Uncle Li will stay in Minzhou from now on."
Uncle Li chuckled beside him and said, "Yes, let me do it. Old Wang, you have been loyal to my family for so many years, and now it is my turn."
Uncle Wang chirped and said, "You're not idle either. Weren't you in the old house before, reading those books in the old house?"
"But my leisurely work is not as good as yours, which is exposed to wind and sun and is anxious every day. If you were still in good health, I would not compete with you for this job, but now you have injured a vital part, You have to take good care of yourself for a year, otherwise if you don’t recover well later and leave sequelae, won’t the girl and the young master have to feel guilty for the rest of their lives?”
After much talk, Uncle Wang was finally convinced, and they finally changed the topic to Sang Fuyue.
In fact, Sang Nianyue had discovered from the words and deeds of the wet nurse and Uncle Wang just now that her eldest brother's whereabouts were probably still unknown.
If there are traces of the eldest brother, the wet nurse and Uncle Wang will definitely say: When the eldest son is found, everyone will return to the capital together. By then, there will be no need to keep anyone in Minzhou. But since the wet nurse didn't say anything, and Uncle Wang didn't mention it either, it meant that the search for the eldest brother was not going smoothly after all.
Sure enough, the wet nurse said afterward: "The girl must have come to Minzhou immediately after seeing my letter saying that the gangster who killed your Uncle Wang was caught and sent to the Yamen, right?"
Sang Nuanyue nodded, "That's right."
The wet nurse sighed, her expression was very bitter and unspeakable, "I think so, otherwise if the girl sees the letter I sent to the capital later, she probably won't come to Minzhou."
"You then sent another letter to the capital? What was written in the letter?"
The nanny hesitated, "This..."
Sang Nuanyue looked at the nanny but hesitated to speak, and Uncle Wang showed a cryptic expression, and his heart immediately sank.
She said, "Nanny, tell me whether it's good news or bad news. Now that I'm here, I'm determined not to give up until I can't find my eldest brother. Nurse, just tell me what you know, and the rest will take care of itself." I’ll do it.”
The wet nurse was shocked by the determined expression on Sang Nuoyue's face, and she immediately stopped hiding it. She could only tell her what was written in the last letter and the latest news from the yamen.
It turned out that since the gangster was handed over to the Yamen for interrogation by the guards, the wet nurse and Uncle Wang seemed to be living at the Yamen's door. They were guarding outside the Yamen all day long. Seeing this, the officers in the Yamen had no choice but to step up the interrogation process.
However, even though the gangster said that he came to Minzhou to kill people who were looking for Sang Fuyue after receiving money from others, who exactly was Sang Fuyue and who paid him to kill someone? , he doesn’t know either.
The story begins when he was still in his hometown in Huizhou. At that time, he was just a gangster, doing nothing all day long. Suddenly one day, he saw an old country squire walking drunkenly on the road. He immediately became evil and went to rob the money bag on his waist. Although the grog man looked very drunk, he still had the strength to resist when someone took his money. The two started fighting, and the gangster pushed the old squire into the wall in panic. He thought it was a simple robbery, but the next day he heard someone say that the squire was pushed against the wall and his brains were knocked out.
Just when he was worried that someone would catch him and accuse him, the accusation did not happen, but someone caught him and asked him to do something for her.
The wet nurse said: "The gangster didn't know who had the handle on him. At that time, he thought that since he was caught, he would just run away. Unfortunately, the person who wanted him to kill promised to give him money after the incident. He has much silver."
Money attracts people's hearts, so the gangster who originally just wanted to escape suddenly decided to finish the deal and earn some money first.
It's just to kill another person. Anyway, he has already killed one person. There is not much difference between killing one person and killing two or three people. It is always the death penalty. Then it would be better to kill a few more and just use them as companions on the road to hell. And most importantly, you can still make money!
The gangster came to Minzhou as ordered, and the people he wanted to kill were all the people looking for Sang Fuyue.
He didn't know who Sang Fuyue was, and he didn't even know who the person looking for Sang Fuyue was. This is a lawsuit with no end in sight, and there is no way to start. But it doesn't matter if you don't have a place to start. Anyway, your goal is to make money. It's not your fault that you can't find the target person. It's just that the person hasn't appeared yet.
Therefore, the gangster calmly took the money given by his employer to buy the murder and lived a free and easy life in Minzhou City.
He even bought a house, started a business, married a beautiful daughter-in-law, even took in two concubines, and even had children...
It was a pretty good life.
But just as he was about to lie down, a letter from his employer was brought over again.
In the letter, his employer severely reprimanded him for his poor performance. And told him clearly that the person who was looking for Sang Fuyue had already gone to Minzhou. He needs to find him and kill him. If he is still passive and sabotaging, don't blame her for not remembering the old relationship. By then, his previous attempts to seek wealth and murder will become known to everyone, and his wife and children will be implicated and even sold, and he himself will also be dead.
This frightened the gangster, and he also knew that the person behind the murder was not as easy to fool as he thought. The buyer was really ruthless at the critical moment, so the gangster finally got motivated and was ready to do something.
Fortunately, his stay in Minzhou was not in vain these past few years. He had made friends with people from all walks of life. As long as he was willing to part with some money, it would be easy to find someone.
For this reason, within a few days, the gangsters targeted Uncle Wang and brutally attacked him that night.
He thought that Uncle Wang had been stabbed so many times and that he was destined to die no more. He even thought about how to ask his employer for the final balance. Unfortunately, the next day he went to the yamen gate and waited all day, but he did not wait until the yamen people announced the discovery of the body's relatives.
It was also because of this that the gangster knew that Uncle Wang was lucky enough to save his life. And this forced him to commit murder a second time, a third time...
The wet nurse told Sang Nuanyue all this, and then looked at the girl's solemn face, the wet nurse said cautiously: "No matter how hard the people in the yamen tortured him, the gangster couldn't reveal anything more useful. So the old slave specially gave The girl sent a letter and asked her not to come to Minzhou for the time being." Unfortunately, when the girl received her first letter, she came to Minzhou in a hurry, and she did not receive the second letter at all.
When the nanny said this, Sang Nianyue moved her slightly stiff body. She said to the wet nurse: "There is a problem here."
"what is the problem?"
"It's the buyer who hired the gangster. Isn't there any information about this person?"
The wet nurse shook her head, "I really can't find it. The gangster even handed over the letter from the person who paid for the murder to the guards, but the guards said that it was not a person's note at all."
"Then the clue ends here?"
The wet nurse nodded and said cautiously, "The yamen's intention is to connect with the yamen in Huizhou. The other things are not certain yet, but the evidence of the gangster killing the old squire and your uncle Wang is conclusive, so it must be He will be sentenced to death."
But so what if he was sentenced to death, the whereabouts of his eldest brother are still a mystery. This is the most frustrating thing.
Seeing this, Uncle Wang suddenly said something, "The girl was in the capital before, so I couldn't talk to her carefully."
Sang Nuanyue immediately cheered up, "Uncle Wang, just say what you want to say."
Uncle Wang said: "I told the girl before that I once saw a man who looked a bit like the eldest son, and that man was in the east of the city. I vaguely seemed to have seen him twice, but if I kept waiting, I found out that No matter what, I can't find the person who looks like the eldest son."
"However, since a person has appeared once or twice somewhere, he may appear three or four times. I believe that as long as we stay patiently, we can find that person. Maybe he is the eldest son."
…
After Uncle Wang and the nanny left, Sang Nianyue sat in the room, lost in thought.
Su Jin brought her food, but she had no intention of eating it.
He only asked Su Jin in confusion: "Su Jin, do you think it's strange or not? As early as five or six years ago, someone predicted that someone would come to Minzhou to look for my elder brother. Does this person have some magical powers?"
Su Jin knew that the girl didn't need to respond at this time, she just needed to listen quietly.
"At that time, my eldest brother was traveling with his parents. His parents were killed, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. At that time, many people said that my eldest brother was destined to die. Even the elderly in the family were not optimistic about the matter, and even advised me to be more open-minded. It’s because I don’t believe this, that’s why I never set up a tomb for my eldest brother, and insisted on letting people search for him for ten years. To be honest, there has been no trace of my eldest brother for so many years, and even I can’t stand it anymore. After going down, even I almost felt that maybe my eldest brother really died in that flood. But there is another person in this world who thinks like me that my eldest brother is still alive in this world."
Is the real purpose of the man who hired the murderer behind the scenes to kill everyone who comes to look for Sang Fuyue? no! His real purpose was to prevent Sang Fuyue from being found.
What does this mean? It means that the eldest brother is definitely still alive in the world, and he is in Minzhou.
Sang Nuanyue took Su Jin's hand and said excitedly: "Su Jin, do you know? I have never been so sure that my eldest brother is in Minzhou. I feel that I am getting closer to my eldest brother. I am determined to find him." Big brother, big brother must be waiting for me in Minzhou."
Su Jin hugged Sang Nianyue and said: "Yes, just as the girl said, the eldest son is definitely still alive, and he is waiting for us to find him. Miss, we have regained our energy and will go to find the eldest son from tomorrow on." How are you, Master?"
Sang Nuanyue choked and nodded, "Okay."
After Sang Nuanyue fell asleep, Su Jin found Uncle Li and others and talked to them about the mastermind behind the scenes.
"They should be from Huizhou. But are there any enemies of our Sang family in Huizhou?"
Uncle Li shook his head.
When he mentioned Huizhou, the first thing he thought of was the Zhou family. However, although the Zhou family is shameless, they have been thinking of various names to ask girls for money over the years, but the Zhou family does not have the ability to predict the future. They couldn't have planned in Minzhou five or six years ago to kill the man who was looking for the eldest son.
Furthermore, the girl has been living under the noses of the Zhou family for the past few years. If the Zhou family is interested, it should be easy to find out who the girl sent to look for the eldest son outside. Then just intercept and kill Uncle Wang directly? Why sit back and wait in Minzhou?
Another thing that puzzled him was that since he wanted to stop the girl from looking for the eldest son, he must not deal with the girl, or even worse, with the Sang family. Since there is a grudge, if this person knows the Eldest Young Master's whereabouts, why doesn't he kill the Eldest Young Master directly? Is it because you can't, don't dare, or for some other reason?
In short, what this man behind the scenes did is really puzzling and ruthless.
And the person behind the scenes is really well hidden, so deep that if he hadn't intentionally self-destructed, they might not be able to find out who he is in their lifetime.
How should we deal with this matter?
For a time, not only Uncle Li was in trouble, but Suwen Suying and others were also at a loss.
However, they still have foreign aid they can turn to.
If you have any difficulties, just ask Mr. Hou, but I don’t know that Mr. Hou is not available now.
But no matter whether he is free or not, the Marquis has also ordered before that anything related to the girl must be reported once a day. Later, someone will tell the Marquis about this matter. As for whether the Marquis has a better way to deal with it, it depends on the Marquis' ability.
After Shen Tingjun finished his business for the day and met some people, and when he was about to rest after taking a bath, he saw Cheng Yi coming over with a letter in his hand.
He frowned slightly and asked, "Who's writing?"
Cheng Yi then said, "Suwen asked someone to send it here. He said that the girl's search was not going well."
Shen Tingjun frowned even more when he heard this. He opened the letter and read it carefully.
He read carefully but very quickly, so in the blink of an eye, he had finished reading the pieces of paper.
The letter was placed on the side of the desk. Thinking of this incredible case, Shen Tingjun sank slightly.
Just ask if this is interesting?
A person who had known Sang Fuyue's whereabouts for a long time, a Huizhou native, had ill intentions towards Sang Nianyue, but did not kill Sang Fuyue. This thing cannot be justified emotionally or rationally, but it did happen.
If other people were faced with such a case, they might not know what to do, but Shen Tingjun was worthy of being the Minister of Dali Temple in charge of Xing Prison in the world. He had his own ideas on how to solve the case and how to investigate the case.
I saw him writing many things on the rice paper with his pen. After writing, he handed the papers to Cheng Yi and asked him to send them back to Su Wen.
But when Cheng Yi was about to retreat, Shen Tingjun called out to him again. After calling out to Cheng Yi, he remained silent. I wonder what he had in mind.
After a long time, Shen Tingjun still didn't make a sound. Cheng Yi couldn't help but ask: "Master, do you have any other orders?"
Shen Tingjun originally wanted Cheng Yi to go to the Yamen to say hello, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. It would not be a good thing for her to let some people in Minzhou know that Sang Nianyue had some relationship with him. It would be better to go as a friend tomorrow.
He then said: "Nothing, just go down."
Cheng Yi didn't say how he handed the letter back to Su Wen. He only said that the next day came soon. When Sang Nianyue woke up, she saw Su Jin standing at the head of her bed with a troubled look on her face.
Sang Nuanyue asked her in surprise, "You got up so early, what are you doing? You were standing beside my bed so well that I thought someone was about to attack me."
Su Jin didn't say anything else, just handed the piece of paper to the girl.
Sang Nuanyue took it and immediately saw the familiar handwriting on it. Then he asked her, "Has the Marquis been here?"
"No."
"Then where did this thing come from?"
Su Jin said: "It was sent by someone close to the Marquis." As for who it was given to, and how it got into her hands, she still won't say.
Su Jin never expected that Su Wen would hand the paper to her directly. Although she had already guessed that Su Wen and others were from the Marquis, could Su Wen try to hide it? She was so kind. Perhaps seeing how passionate the girl and the Marquis were now, she looked at them suspiciously several times. Su Wen probably guessed that she had already guessed their identities, so she no longer even had the desire to hide it.
The pieces of paper in Sang Nuoyue's hands were the ones Su Wen gave to Su Jin. Su Jin felt a little hot after getting it, but when she saw what was written on it, she couldn't help but feel excited. In the end, Su Wen rolled his eyes, then took the thing and handed it to Sang Nuanyue.
Sang Nuanyue looked at the move Shen Tingjun gave her.
