Chapter 510 An old case
"No! You can't!"
The prime minister's wife fell to the ground, her palms and knees hitting the gravel road, leaving a bloody mark.
She staggered and tried to get up and chase after him, but was stopped by Nianniang.
"Madam, please be more respectful."
The maid's voice was not like that of an ordinary person, it was hoarse and her words were cold, but they brought her back to her senses.
The Prime Minister's wife looked around blankly, at the servants kneeling on the ground, the distressed maidservant, and...
The familiar piece of clothing hidden in the corridor not far away.
"Ha..." She smiled miserably, as if she had lost most of her strength.
This is the husband she has been waiting for for more than twenty years!
I just hid in the distance and watched her in such a mess because of her son.
For the so-called plan, everything can be abandoned! Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, pretending to be elegant and innocent, but in fact, the heart is dirtier than anyone else!
Do not!
He has no heart!
The Prime Minister's wife gently wiped the tears from her face with her hands and stood up with the help of the nanny.
She turned her back to the gate, and tried her best to suppress her emotions, saying, "Please tell the county lady that I'm suddenly feeling unwell, so I'm sorry I can't see you off!"
Nianniang lowered her brows and turned away.
She disdains to deal with such people.
In the heart of the Prime Minister's wife, Xie Yunshan is far less important than Xie Huaiqing, the heir, but Xie Huaiqing is not as important as her own wealth and glory...
All I can say is that she and Xie Si are birds of a feather!
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, the little girl stood in front of the door and took a deep breath.
"Are you angry?"
When Jiang An heard the voice, he looked towards the side of the street in surprise.
It turned out that Wu Heting got off the carriage.
He was wearing an official robe, and it was obvious that he had come here in a hurry from his post. It seemed that he had heard about Jiang An's ostentatious visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion with gifts.
The little girl looked at him in a daze, but Lord Wu looked helpless, "What are you still doing standing in front of someone's house? Come down quickly..."
"Ow~"
Perhaps it was because his words sounded too much like an elder doting on a younger generation, Jiang An smiled brightly at him and skipped down the stairs.
At this moment, she was not ready to draw her sword like she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion just now!
Several subordinates looked at each other and finally felt relieved.
They were not afraid that the young lady would demolish the Prime Minister's residence, but they were worried that she was keeping it all in her heart.
Everyone still remembers what Jiang An looked like when the Master passed away a few years ago.
Wu Heting saw how happy the little girl was, and then he remembered how embarrassed he was when he almost lost one of his shoes.
He pointed at Jiang An, "You!"
"Old Master Xie is seriously ill. Others dare not approach him, fearing that they will get into trouble. But you are walking across the street with your things in a swagger..."
"If you want to take action, why are you in such a hurry now?"
No matter how he got sick, he only has one breath left now...
The two of them did not take a carriage, but walked back with a large group of people behind them.
"But what happened?" There was worry in Wu Heting's eyes.
He knew the little girl best. She did things without rules... and was a little reckless. But after all, she was raised by those people. She would not be stupid enough to do anything at this time. It could only be that something happened to offend this little ancestor.
Wu Heting talked for a while, but the little girl's eyes were always fixed on the candied haws that the uncle was carrying on his shoulders...
Although the old man was a little afraid of the elder in official robes beside the little girl, he still smiled at Jiang An in order to earn some money, "Miss, do you want to buy it?"
Jiang An first looked at the old man, then looked at Wu Heting beside him.
The eyes wrote two words: Eat!
The corner of Lord Wu's mouth twitched, but he moved quickly, taking out an old purse from his sleeve and paying the money.
then…
Then the little girl took away the candied haws and the straw stick on which it was stuck.
Wu Heting: …
Old man: "…Miss, this…is not for sale."
If you take it away, what will I use to sell candied haws tomorrow?
Lord Wu took out a piece of silver from his purse and gave it to the old man. The old man thanked him repeatedly and left with a smile on his face.
He weighed the change in his hand and decided to make another one tomorrow.
Thatch can be found everywhere!
Jiang An carried so many candied haws and ate them as he walked, which made the children on the street envious.
When Wu Heting caught up with the little girl, she was distributing candied haws to the children.
"Come one by one, line up, don't rush!"
"The one who wipes the nose, don't grab it!"
"If you try to steal again, I'll beat you up!"
The little girl pretended to be fierce.
Unfortunately, her face was too pretty and had no intimidating power. Instead, the child walked towards Jiang Anle, sniffing his nose and holding a candied haws with a bite taken in his hand.
Look at the piece of candied haws that was bitten off, there is still a gap in the middle~
Wu Heting waited for her to finish distributing the candied haws, and said, "Now we can talk!"
He didn't know this little ancestor yet. She didn't lack money to buy candied haws. It was just her childish nature that played tricks on her.
Jiang An also gave a bunch to Lord Wu.
It can be said that now the two of them, including the subordinates behind them who have free hands, each have a string of ~
The little girl calmly took a bite, it was so sour that she almost cried.
She slurped her saliva and said, "My father was assassinated, and the one who hired the murderer was Shays."
Wu Heting's hand holding the candied haws shook, You don't have to be so calm!
"Is the Prime Minister okay?" he asked.
Jiang An was puzzled and turned his head to look at Master Wu, "Shouldn't you ask how my father is doing?"
“Heh…” Wu Heting snorted and laughed.
"If something happened to the prince, you would have burned down the capital and then fought your way back to the north."
I can still eat the sour candied haws here so calmly.
No, this candied haws is too sour!
Wu Heting even said to his confidant behind him angrily: "The vendor should be asked to return the money to me!"
Hearing him say this, Jiang An thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement, "You are right."
Lord Wu coughed lightly and gossiped, "So the Prime Minister...?"
Jiang An waved his hand casually, "He's fine, he's still alive, I just went to give him some eye drops and gave him a jade Buddha as a gift."
Now Wu Heting was really speechless.
What a loss!
"Do you know the owner of Shangxianfang?"
Lord Wu thought about it carefully, "There was a murder case in Shangxianfang a few years ago, and I met the owner of that place once."
"Her details are all in the Dali Temple. If you need to, just go and check it yourself."
Has there been a murder?
Jiang An became interested, "Tell me about it~"
It would be boring to walk back anyway, so I might as well take this as a way to kill time.
"It's nothing new. It's just that a nobleman in the neighborhood ate something by mistake and lost his mind... and tortured a government official's wife to death."
At that time, the man was detained in Shangxianfang by the official's family. The Dali Temple investigated and found no suspicious points, so they closed the case.
Killing an official's wife was a serious crime, not to mention that the woman died tragically, even the imperial court was alarmed...
In the end, Sheth personally took over the follow-up matters and supervised the execution.
This is why Wu Heting only met the monk once...
Because this matter had nothing to do with Shangxianfang after all, the person was released after a routine interrogation.
