Wen Yuan wanted to talk to Yanjie by himself, but after all, the difference between men and women was the embarrassing relationship between brother-in-law and sister-in-law, even if Yanbing had great trust in her husband and was broad-minded and able to support the boat, it was not easy to sit idly by.

In the end, the couple went to the warm pavilion of the guest room together to meet Yanjie and asked her what her plans were.

Yan Bing didn't want to go around in circles to delay her rest, so before she could sit down, she asked bluntly: "Mao Kunming is afraid that he will rush over to pick you up immediately, see you or not?" ”

"I don't want to see him," Yanjie sat down on the carved crescent stool and shook her head at her, suggesting, "Let's just say that I'm unwell and sleepy, and I've fallen asleep, right?" ”

"Then what are the conditions, think about it first, and let Yuanlang help you mention it later." Yan Bing was full of concern, and wanted to seriously discuss with Yan Jie.

She immediately answered and said bluntly: "The sooner the better, regardless of conditions." ”

Such an eager appearance startled Yan Bing, and her stunned incomprehensible gaze caused Yan Jie to smile awkwardly.

Then, she tightly pinched her sleeves and added: "The furniture and utensils ordered that year were all in Shudi, and it was impossible to get them back." I brought with me all the important deeds of the dowry, such as the shop and the property, and the rest of the jewelry, clothes and fabrics if he wanted them, and if he was angry and didn't want to give them, he could do it. In short, it is good to be able to go smoothly and leave. ”

Yanjie knew that Mao Kunming would definitely not be willing to let herself live, so she didn't want to worry about property at all - the big ones were held, and the rest of the money was as important as the freedom of the rest of her life.

Yan Bing immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, money is something outside the body, so it's good to leave smoothly." ”

At the same time, Wen Yuan watched Yan Jie's subconscious pinching of her sleeves every now and then, but suddenly became suspicious, and asked tentatively: "In addition to being willing to give up part of the floating wealth, do you have anything else to make in exchange?" ”

"What does Rong Langzi mean by this?" Hearing this, Yan Jie suddenly raised her head and asked, although the volume was not high, even Yan Bing could clearly feel that her voice was trembling slightly.

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes. Although this is true, but ......" Wen Yuan paused, and then said half threatening and half speculative, "According to Mao Kunming's temperament, he definitely wants to drag you into the water together." It's a pity that a certain love can't help it. ”

"......" Yanjie subconsciously pinched her sleeves again. She hesitated and guarded, unwilling to tell the details, but she was nervous and desperate to get help, so she could only look at her sister for help, she would rather believe Yan Bing than talk to Rong Shaoqing, who was full of black water.

Yan Bing felt a little square when she heard the two of them fighting each other, and she suddenly realized at this time, and finally realized that what her husband said earlier about "the building will fall" was not a joke.

"You go and help Siniang talk to Mao Kunming, can't you do anything about him?" Yan Bing first looked at Wen Yuan and saw him shaking her head, then she turned her head to look back at Sister Shu, and said bluntly, "In addition to the house deed, have you taken anything else as a backhand?" You have to hold something to threaten Mao Kunming! ”

Asked by her sister frankly, Yanjie finally nodded nervously, pinched her sleeve and said softly: "I took a few papers." ”

The corners of Wen Yuan's lips twitched slightly, and he said straight in: "If Mao Kunming wants you to return it and then consider making peace, will you still pay it back?" ”

Yan Jie shook her head and said, "At the same time as he gave his wife the book, he will definitely not recognize it later." ”

"What the hell is it, can you lend me a look?" Wen Yuan said a question sentence in his mouth, but at the same time, he stretched out his hand and pestled his outstretched palm under Yanjie's eyelids.

Yan Jie hesitated and didn't want to take out the things that saved her life, but she listened to Yan Bing's persuasion: "Take it out, if Yuanlang doesn't know the truth, how can he help you fight for the best conditions?" We had learned a little bit about the Great Qi Law, but we didn't know as much as him. ”

“…… Well, here you go. After all, Yanjie took out a few pages of secret letters from her sleeve and handed them to her sister.

Is it really worthy of the Shu family? It's almost exactly the same thing as Xingxuan. Wen Yuan sighed with emotion, and at the same time took the letter from Yan Bing's hand, and found that its content was more direct than what Xingxu had collected, and it was completely possible to arrest the entire Mao family according to this point.

Yan Bing couldn't help but be surprised at a glance and asked, "Siniang, do you want to turn around?" Why do you have to counsel with him and leave with him! Wouldn't it be better to report it directly? ”

"That's right, the whistleblower can be pardoned and not guilty," Wen Yuan immediately nodded, "What's more, it is clearly written in the Great Qi Law that it is also a sin to know that he is planning to rebel and not report it, at least two thousand miles." Those who know that they are plotting against each other will be hanged. There's no need for you to hide it. ”

"It's fine. In fact, I also wanted to say it, but I was afraid that he would make a fool of himself if he didn't do it. Yanjie has actually been full of entanglements since she got something early in the morning, and she didn't dare to tell others about the important matter, but now when she saw that they both said that they should sue the official, she felt that she was making a fool before.

"What's so hard about that? The first step is to be caught," Wen Yuan first made an assumption and then proposed, "If you don't worry, you can actually let the government judge you to leave." ”

Yan Jie didn't know why she asked, "How can I be righteous with him?" ”

Wen Yuan wrote lightly: "Jia Kou, who attacked Cui Fu before, has already confessed, and Lou Hai, who was also the secretary of the Shu Palace, bought the murderer and killed his father-in-law, if Lou Hai was induced to identify the murderer behind the scenes as Mao Kunming or his father...... He was willing to carry one less human life. ”

"...... "Is that okay?!" Yan Bing looked at Wen Yuan with a suspicious face.

"Anyway, leave this matter to me." After Wen Yuan made the package ticket, he immediately deduced that the night had fallen and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he left the room with Yan Bing.

After that, he hurriedly sent Yanbing back to his room to rest, and then he turned back to the front yard to meet his adoptive father.

First, he set up an ambush at home and waited for Mao Kunming to throw himself into the net, and then hurriedly went to the Chu Palace's mansion to report the matter, hoping that he could quickly enter the palace to get the edict, and transferred troops to seal the Mao family.

Who would have thought that after returning home from the Chu Palace, Mao Kunming had not yet appeared when the curfew was approaching, and he would not come, and his hope of capturing him in one fell swoop would be dashed.

On the side of the king of Chu, a child servant came and said that the palace gate was closed, although he handed over an urgent fold, but he did not know when there would be a reply, and it was estimated that he would have to wait until the next day to transfer troops.

Wen Yuan had no choice but to go back to the room to rest, Yan Bing, who was lying on her side on the bed, had already slept for a while, and suddenly woke up with her blindfolded eyes and asked vaguely, "Did you catch it?" ”

"Not yet, let's talk about it tomorrow." Wen Yuan replied softly and then rolled over and lay on her side.

He was really a little depressed at this moment, if Yanjie had come up with evidence earlier, he could actually pretend to be invited by relatives, and go to the palace gate to pick up Mao Kunming and then talk about other things, but unfortunately he missed the opportunity.

However, Dali Temple only has the right to judge, at most it can detain prisoners but cannot take the initiative to arrest them, in fact, it is better to be a county lieutenant, at least there can be a few servants under him.

The king of Chu was probably scolding his mother, and he didn't dare to transfer troops at will at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he didn't even dare to send the soldiers from his own family tent, for fear of being tabooed......

Now I can only wait until dawn, and I don't know what will happen.

Wen Yuan never slept well all night, and the next morning, before Yan Bing got up, he had already hurried out of the house, and went to the Chu Wangfu to ask first, but there was no movement.

Fortunately, when he went out, he also ordered a few extraordinary Duan family subordinates to follow, and then took the idea to do it himself, and went to Mao's house with the idea of "catching the thief and capturing the king first", who would have thought but pounced.

Menzi politely replied: "Lang Jun didn't return overnight and was not at home."

With his long-term experience in questioning cases, Wen Yuan saw that this person's expression was very sincere, and he did not see a look of panic or nervousness, and concluded that he obviously knew nothing about Mao Kunming's plan, and he had never lied.

Didn't go home...... Could it be that he went to Pingkangli to drink flower wine? I didn't know that my wife ran away from home so I didn't pick it up?

After thinking about it for a while, Wen Yuan denied this idea, Mao Kunming's wine is not good, he likes to talk nonsense, and now he has a big thing in his heart, and he will not drink outside at will.

He groaned, raised his eyes to see where he was, and saw that it was not far from Shu County's Bofu, so he immediately urged the horse forward, and said to his relatives: "Go, go to Shu's house and ask." ”

Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at a fork in the road near the Shu family, Wen Yuan saw Ge Er, the steward of the Shu Mansion, accompanying Xingyi from the direction of the imperial city.

After a short pause, he waited for his brother-in-law, and the two urged the horses to meet side by side in the street.

Before Wen Yuan could ask him why he was in a hurry, he heard Xingyi say in a loud voice with a gloomy face: "I was about to look for you, just in time!" ”

"What? What's going on—"

Before he could finish asking, he heard Xingyi riding on a red date-colored tall horse, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "Mao Kunming's grandson went to my house yesterday to tie up Aunt Xi!" ”

"Kidnapping?!" Wen Yuan was taken aback, could it be that he had already found out that Yanjie had taken something?

"yes, kidnapping!" Xingyi nodded heavily, so angry that he didn't even want to speak, only waved his hand to let the steward explain.

Then the big housekeeper Ge Er helped explain on the side: "Yesterday, Mao Langzi went crazy and scolded when he came to the door, saying that his wife ran away, and he tied up her mother without doing anything!" said that he would wait for the fourth lady to go back by herself before releasing her. ”

After speaking, he didn't forget to explain that the guard courtyard is either on the Zhuangzi or in the outer courtyard. Because he didn't expect Mao Kunming to suddenly snatch his mother-in-law, the maidservant couldn't stop him from being knocked unconscious, and the family didn't know it at all, so he let him go out in a daze.

"......" Who would have thought that he would kidnap his mother-in-law!

Wen Yuan really felt that something was wrong in his heart before, so he wanted to go to the Shu family to have a look, but he never expected that he would tie up the Xi family. The key is that it is still successful, and it can actually drive straight into the inner family and leave, this Shu family should be beaten by the board!

In the next moment, Wen Yuan suddenly slapped his head and broke out in a cold sweat.

Tieing up Xi is the first step, what is the purpose? At first, he guessed that Mao Kunming probably wanted to exchange the Xi family for what Yanjie stole from, or even trick her to go back and kill people.

After thinking about it again, he knew that Yanjie would definitely be exposed if he went to his house, so he didn't go home at all after kidnapping Xi, and ran away! So, what do you want to use Xi to threaten Yanjie to make her do?

"Go home, hurry back!" As soon as Wen Yuan pulled the reins and urged the horse, he galloped in the opposite direction.

This eldest sister is a guest at her own house, under the same roof as her wife and children, and God knows if she will do anything irreparable. The Shu family is not strong, but his Rong family doesn't know whether it is good or not.

Who would dare to gamble on such a scenario?

Just as Wen Yuan was hurrying home, this Yan Bing got up early because she was worried about something. Unexpectedly, Sister Shu didn't sleep well, she got up early, she was still combing her hair, and Yanjie had already come to the bedroom.

Seeing that her sister was busy grooming, Yanjie was a little embarrassed, standing at the screen and not approaching, she only asked in a dry voice, "Yesterday, was there any new news?" ”

"No, I'll let you know as soon as there's any news." Yan Bing politely replied, and persuaded Yan Jie to relax, she could go to breakfast first without waiting for herself.

"It's okay, I'll have dinner with Yanqing later." Yanjie said politely, did not leave the bedroom, but looked left and right, and asked curiously why she didn't see the two nephews.

"They slept with the nurse in the side room, and I'm afraid they haven't woken up yet." Yan Bing pressed Hua Tian in the mirror, and replied with a smile without looking back.

"Which side? Shall I go and see? Yanjie curled the corners of her lips slightly and tried to squeeze out a smile, and sighed, "I came in a hurry yesterday and was worried about things, and I didn't have time to hug them." ”
