Chapter 426: A certain understanding
The two of them arrived at the pavilion in front of the maple leaf forest.
Fu Lie moved the chair for her: "Sit down." β
But Wen Qingzhu didn't move, just raised his eyes to look at Fu Lie, and didn't say a word.
After a long time, the uneasy heart finally quieted down.
She suddenly took two steps forward, reached out to hug Fu Lie's waist, leaned on his arms with a side face, and asked him, "Do you think I'm too vicious?" β
"You have endured too much, this is Yingge's own choice." Fu Lie raised his hand, grabbed Wen Qingzhu's back with one hand, and gently stroked her hair with the other.
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes, and the heart that had been hanging finally let go.
The heart that had been restless for a long time was unusually calm at this moment.
"No, I just want to protect the person I want to protect, I really didn't think of hurting others, I really didn't know that she would choose to come down and persuade Jiang Ziang, I thought she would assassinate me in order to save my life."
Therefore, Wen Qingzhu did not prepare anyone to save Yingge.
Before going to Fengyalou, she calculated all kinds of possible scenarios.
Yingge's two most likely choices are to stay in the carriage to save his life, and the other is to get out of the carriage and assassinate Wen Qingzhu to show his loyalty.
But Yingge chose to get off the carriage, but instead of assassinating her to show her loyalty, she tried to persuade Jiang Ziang to let Wen Qingzhu go.
This kind of naΓ―ve choice, Wen Qingzhu didn't expect it at all.
"I know." Fu Lie nodded.
Wen Qingzhu said: "She was still apologizing to me when she died, in fact, I was able to save her at that time, but I felt that her life was of no use to me at all." β
Fu Lie hugged her hand and tightened it for two points: "I know it too." β
"How do you know?" Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes.
Fu Lie let go of his hand and pointed in the direction of the Pingguo Marquis' Mansion: "I'll take you to meet someone, and you'll understand." β
Two quarters of an hour later, Fu Lie took her to the courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
Standing at the door, there was a solemn-looking grandmother talking.
In front of the mama stood a group of seven or eight-year-old girls.
They wore uniform clothes and looked at the grandmother with trepidation, for fear that they had missed something.
The group of little girls were facing Wen Qingzhu sideways, and from time to time someone turned their faces slightly.
At a certain moment, Wen Qingzhu saw a familiar face.
"This is not a warbler......"
Warbler?
Wen Qingzhu was very surprised, that thin little child had the same eyes as Yingge.
Fu Lie stood beside her and slowly explained: "Her name is Ah Ping, and she is Yingge's daughter. The reason why Yingge came to the capital was because she wanted to earn more money and buy her daughter the status of a good citizen. β
"She's smarter than the average person."
"So she took a fancy to Jiang Ziang at a glance, not Jiang Ziang took a fancy to her." Fu Lie turned his head and looked at Wen Qingzhu, whose eyes were still calm, and his heart finally relaxed.
Wen Qingzhu didn't need to ask much about the next thing.
Since Yingge would be prepared to persuade Jiang Ziang, she thought that Wen Qingzhu would definitely save her daughter.
"Then how did you find Ah Ping so quickly?" Wen Qingzhu was a little puzzled, Yingge could make this choice, her daughter must be hiding in a place that Jiang Ziang didn't know.
"After you left that incense shop, Ah Ping was sent to the owner of the incense shop by Peng Dan, and it just so happened that Qiao Hu was also there."
Wen Qingzhu was surprised: "Yingge and Qiao Hu still have a relationship?" β
"Well, Qiao Hu encountered a lot of dangers during the days when she left the capital, and once it was Yingge who saved her, and it was Qiao Hu who instructed Yingge to let her come to the capital."
Wen Qingzhu was silent, in this way, that Yingge had actually recognized her identity early on.
After understanding, Wen Qingzhu was relieved.
In the end, Yingge's choice really moved her, even if Wen Qingzhu couldn't tell which ones were coincidences and which ones were calculations.
But Yingge's ultimate goal is only one, that is, to protect her daughter and give her daughter a future.
"I know." Wen Qingzhu turned his head and asked Fu Lie, "Will you come with me tomorrow?" β
Fu Lie shook his head: "Feng Yalou involves too many people, I don't have time here, I'll see you off on the day you leave." β
"Okay then." Wen Qingzhu felt a little lost in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
After Fu Lie sent Wen Qingzhu home, he asked Yang Dong: "Has Su Huo had a lot of things on hand recently?" β
"It's okay." Yang Dong thought about it carefully, "After Lord Su and Miss Zhou got married, the emperor seemed to have given some cases to the Criminal Department, and Lord Su in Dali Temple seemed to have been off work on time." β
Fu Lie nodded, and after leaving the Xue Mansion, he turned his horse's head and went to the Su family.
As a result, there was no one in the Su family, Fu Lie turned his head to go to Dali Temple, but Yang Dong stopped him: "Master, I think Master Su may be in the Zhou family." β
Fu Lie was silent for a moment, turned his horse's head and went to Zhou's house.
When I asked, Su Huo was there.
Fu Lie couldn't help but glance at Yang Dong, but saw him smiling and looking stupid.
After waiting in the small hall for a while, Su Huo came over with Zhou Yi.
"Master Fu." As soon as Su Huo saw Fu Lie, he subconsciously said politely.
Fu Lie's face remained unchanged, and he stood up to greet him: "Su Huo, there are a lot of things that the emperor has handed over to me in the past two days, especially the investigation of the case, I don't know too much, can you come and help me when the time comes?" β
As soon as these words came out, Su Huo was stunned.
Zhou Yi's eyes also widened, not to mention that Fu Lie was suddenly so kind, he actually came to beg Su to live?
"What case?" Su Huo felt that it was not easy to let Fu Lie beg someone, but he still subconsciously felt that there must be something here that he didn't know. Pen in Chinese
"Feng Yalou's case, you've heard about it, Southern Xinjiang Gu poison." Fu Lie only said a few key words.
Su Huo immediately understood, nodded, and then asked, "This case is indeed very complicated, and it is also related to Miss Wen and Jiang Ziang. β
Hearing him say this, Fu Lie was more and more sure that he would dump this case to Su Huo.
"I'm not in a problem with the march, but I'm really not good at investigating cases, can you come over tomorrow and help me take a look?" The King of Chu may also come over, and I think I may not be able to deal with him. β
These words seem to be flawless, and they are all facts.
And Su Huo found the Zhou family, and he must have gone to the Su family before that.
It's night again, he's so anxious, maybe there is something else hidden in this case.
Su Huo actually felt that the emperor was giving him a holiday recently.
However, seeing that Fu Lie was so anxious, Su Huo still nodded: "Yes, I just have time tomorrow." β
Fu Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, when you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift." If you have anything, you can always come to me. β
"You're welcome." Su Huo didn't think it was a big deal, after all, he just looked at it from the side.
Fu Lie said goodbye and insisted on not sending Su Huo.
Su Huo looked at the back of him leaving, and always felt that something was wrong.
Zhou Yi suddenly said: "It seems that Sister Wen is going to Lei's house for a banquet tomorrow." β
Su Huo turned his head abruptly, and his eyes froze: "He actually knows the routine!" β
Early the next morning, Fu Lie went directly to the Luoying Pavilion.
When Wen Qingzhu found out, she was combing her hair.
But she couldn't help but get up, and ran to the door with her hair draped.
At a glance, I saw Fu Lie practicing his sword.
The early morning sun was filled with the mist that had not dissipated, making Fu Lie's figure look more and more vigorous.
When Fu Lie saw her come out, he put away his sword and stopped.
"Qingqing, why did you come out?"
Wen Qingzhu stepped over the threshold, walked out, and stood on the steps, just at the same height as Fu Lie.
"Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to deal with the case of Feng Ya Lou? Why did you have time to come over today? β
Fu Lie's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "It is Su Huo who wants to help me, the emperor has not given him much recently, and the time is relatively free, maybe it is for your sake to help me." β
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu didn't have any doubts about Fu Lie's words.
It's just that Su Huo is a person she knows very well, her temperament is a little cold, and she generally doesn't take the initiative to take care of things.
"Well, we'll prepare a gift for them when the time comes." Fu Lie smiled.
Wen Qingzhu didn't doubt him, and turned his head to go in and asked Lu Tao to comb his hair quickly.
Within half an hour, Wen Qingzhu dressed up in a new way, and deliberately picked out a simple spring shirt, which matched Fu Lie's outfit.
After going out, Fu Lie did not ride a horse, but rode in a carriage with Wen Qingzhu.
"Su Huo has done a great favor, this case is very complicated, the emperor didn't let him interfere, he was worried that it would drag him down, and he would not have time to get along with Sister Zhou, what do you think we should give them?"
Fu Lie thought about it seriously: "I didn't expect it for the time being, let's talk about it when I come back from the Lei family." β
"Well, this one too." Wen Qingzhu nodded, very grateful to Su Huo in his heart.
At this moment, in the lobby of the Criminal Department.
Su Huo looked at the cases piled up on his chest in front of him, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Is this really just a case of Feng Ya Lou?
At this time, a respectful voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please." β
Then, Jiang Yuancheng appeared at the door.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Su Huo standing where Fu Lie should be standing, and he was immediately slightly stunned.
"See His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Su Huo immediately walked out and saluted Jiang Yuancheng respectfully.
Jiang Yuancheng quickly came back to his senses and raised his hand: "Master Su is welcome. β
As he said this, he deliberately glanced inside the room.
As a result, there was no trace of Fu Lie here.
He couldn't help but wonder: "Master Su, didn't this case be handed over to Marquis Fu?" β
In the face of Jiang Yuancheng's temptation, Su Huo said without changing his face: "I have nothing to do recently, and I have investigated the case of Gu poison in Southern Xinjiang before, so I came to take a look." β
Nothing to do?
Jiang Yuancheng was very suspicious in his heart, he had always had a record of these high-ranking and powerful courtiers.
What's more, it is a celebrity in front of the emperor like Su Huo.
Recently, Su Huo got off work on time, and then went directly to Zhou's house.
It was very late at night when he returned to the Su family, and sometimes he even went to the court directly from the Zhou family the next day with Zhou Sang.
Su Huo didn't know that Jiang Yuancheng was suspicious, but he couldn't divulge the fact that he was pitted by Fu Lie.
He raised his hand and pointed to the pile of dossiers and said, "Since His Royal Highness the King of Chu is here, why don't we take a look at these dossiers first, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was also very familiar with Gu poison before." β
Involving Dao Gu poison, how dare Jiang Yuancheng take it lightly.
What's more, Jiang Ziang, a fool, actually fell into Wen Qingzhu's trap so easily, so he had to intervene in this matter.
"It's not familiar, but I have some understanding." While Jiang Yuancheng cleared up the relationship, he kept himself out of this case, and the measurement was very good.
