Chapter 208: Visiting the Jia Mansion Late at Night



Jia Wensheng......

Jia Wensheng, that bastard!

The slight pain from his wrist hit every part of his body!

The lives of so many brothers were ruined by Jia Wensheng!

The scene of those two men slaughtering the entire village with their swords in their hands kept flashing through his mind...

The laughter of Master Huang, the master of cunning and triumphant deeds, kept ringing in his ears...

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he vowed to cut Jia Wensheng into pieces piece by piece!

Si Jinxing didn't care how much this man hated Jia Wensheng. She was holding the teacup and drinking it all in one gulp!

Zi Su came in holding a tray, placed the dishes on the table, and asked:

"Miss, Aunt Cao next door is outside the courtyard and asked when Miss Gu will be treated."

Si Jinxing sat at the table, glanced at the two dishes and one soup on the table, picked up the brown sugar steamed cake, and said:

"Go and tell your aunt that you can bring Miss Gu here early tomorrow morning for the first subcutaneous injection."

As soon as Zi Su left, Si Jinxing hurriedly drank a mouthful of the fish ball soup. She felt that the fish balls had delicate texture, delicious taste, and a lingering fragrance!

She instantly felt that all people wanted in life was to have food and drink, and to be healthy and free from disasters!

As soon as Zi Su left, Bai Xi knocked on the door and came in, reporting:

"Princess, Lord He sent someone to report that the lockdown outside the northern suburbs has been lifted today. Several imperial physicians and Doctor Gu have gone there to diagnose and treat the sick civilians.

Two more porridge stalls were added to the city.

However, Lord He said there is something he is extremely confused about and would like to hear the princess's opinion."

Si Jinxing picked up some food while asking, "What's the matter?"

Bai Xi stepped forward and whispered:

"Jia Wensheng's corruption and abuse of power are crimes he cannot escape!

But who would have thought that Master Fu Tong actually said that the porridge stall outside the City God Temple, which had been operating for nearly two months, was approved by Master Jia and was funded by public funds!

Hearing this, Si Jinxing paused his chopsticks and looked up and said:

"How is this possible? I asked him myself that day!"

Bai Xi also looked unconvinced, but still said:

"Yes, you and I both think it's impossible, even Lord He doesn't believe it!

However, these words were said by Fu Tong himself in the lobby of the prefectural yamen, in front of everyone!

Therefore, Lord He found this matter very strange and puzzled! "

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a baby's giggling sound coming from outside the door.

Qingchan walked quickly to the door and saw the fat kid squatting on the ground with his big eyes curved with laughter!

She reached out and picked him up, pinched his little chubby face, and asked, "Why did you run out by yourself?"

Song Xiner chased after him and shouted:

"You little thing, I just changed you into new clothes, and in the blink of an eye you ran into this yard!"

The two of them, along with a fat kid, came into the house.

Si Jinxing waved and held the child in her arms, then picked up another clean spoon and fed him a mouthful of fish ball soup.

Seeing him eating with relish, she asked Qingchan to feed him some more.

She looked at Bai Xi and said:

"Do you still remember that day when I met him riding past on horseback in the street in front of the government office? That day, his face was filled with anxiety and he was in a hurry.

Later, when the people outside the posthouse were causing trouble, he did not show up. But now, he changed his previous rhetoric and helped Jia Wensheng to get rid of the crime!

Fu Tong, something must have happened!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the fat kid who was happily drinking fish ball soup over there started giggling again.

Si Jinxing turned around and saw the kid tilting his head to look at him, saying:

“Plop…plop!”

For a moment, the girls in the room were all amused by the cute look of the fat baby. They felt that this adopted little guy was really well-behaved and cute!

Song Xiner was afraid that he would disturb the young lady and Bai Xi from talking about business, so she quickly took the fat kid away.

Zi Su cleaned up the dishes and took them out.

Bai Xi glanced at the darkening night sky and turned back to say:

"I will personally investigate tonight. If Fu Tong is in cahoots with Jia Wensheng, then he has failed the people's hopes for him, and also failed the princess's high hopes for her!"

Si Jinxing responded, "I don't believe he's that kind of person. Find out more about it."

Bai Xi nodded, turned around and left, but just as he reached the door, he turned back and said:

"There's one more thing. Jia Wensheng left Xuzhou City at 11:00 PM and headed towards the western suburbs!"

After he finished speaking, he slipped away.

But Si Jinxing kept muttering: Western Suburbs...

She looked at Qingchan and then smiled.

The last time I visited the Jia Mansion at night, I didn’t search carefully. Tonight, I must seize this opportunity!

Si Jinxing changed into a nightgown that was convenient for walking, and then left the house with Qingchan, heading towards the Jia Mansion with ease!

When they brought them there, they found the house was indeed much quieter.

Si Jinxing took Qingchan and avoided the patrolling soldiers and went straight to Jia Wensheng's study!

She took the flashlight, turned it down to the lowest brightness, and quickly searched the room, but found nothing unusual.

She was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly thought of the mechanism in the ancestral hall of Heyan Village!

That man is cunning and suspicious, so how could he leave such important letters and account books out in the open?

Si Jinxing checked the items in the room one by one, and finally found that there was something strange about the pen holder on the desk!

Ordinary pens are hung on the desk below and generally do not wear out.

And there was a slight arc-shaped wear on the pen hanging down from Jia Wensheng's head!

Si Jinxing held the pen holder and gently pushed it in the direction of the arc...

With a creaking sound, a door shape suddenly appeared on the wall behind the treasure cabinet!

Late at night, at the Dark Portal, what kind of murderer or evil wizard is hiding inside...

Si Jinxing swallowed, still feeling a little scared!

She pushed the door open quietly and quickly scanned it with a flashlight!

I saw that there was only a square secret room inside, just like a storage room with shelves in later generations!

She slipped in, but at the moment she closed the door, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the yard!

Si Jinxing's heart sank, but she didn't have time to think about it, and quickly looked through the shelves!

It doesn't matter if you don't read it, but once you read it, you will find that the things inside can cost Jia Wensheng his life!

Just when she was about to put all those things into Xinglin Yaxu, she suddenly heard some movement outside the secret room door!

After Si Jinxing put the secret letter in his hand back to its original place, he quickly disappeared!

She looked out through Xinglin Yaxu's cat's eye and saw that the door of the secret room was opened and a man in green clothes came in.

That person was none other than Jia Wensheng, who should be in Heyan Village at this moment!

Why is he back?
