"Husband, if you want to thank Master Jing and the others, it's not too late to write to me after your injury has healed. The doctor said you need to stay in bed and rest." Madam Wen quickly held the two of them down and said with some complaints.
When Magistrate Wen heard what his wife said, he was speechless. He had always kept Mr. Su's identity secret and had not even told his family. How come that guy suddenly came to visit him? He was flattered and a little nervous at the same time.
"Sir Wen, do you know who shot you?" Su Chenyu asked.
"Mr. Su, I didn't see his appearance. I only saw a man dressed in black. Because the man was masked, I couldn't see what he looked like. I only knew that this man was taller and stronger than the average adult man, and he was also very fast. He disappeared in a few breaths." Prefect Wen said with a look of reminiscence.
Wen Yuan said angrily, "It's definitely related to the Feng family, but there's no evidence, and we can't take revenge."
Su Chenyu said, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. As the prefect of a city, Wen Zhifu is a fourth-rank official appointed by the court. Who is so bold as to plot such a plot? This clearly shows that they do not take the court seriously. The Feng family must also be investigated."
Wen Yuan said, "But I don't have any clues at all. Where should I start investigating?"
Su Chenyu glanced at Jing Chen and said, "Leave it to us!"
Wen Yuan said, "Thank you, Master Su, for your help, but we have no clue about this matter. Where should we start investigating?"
Su Chenyu said, "Let's start our investigation from the Feng family you mentioned! Since his proposal to marry Miss Wen was rejected, he must be filled with resentment and is likely seeking revenge."
Wen Yuan asked, "So we're going to Xuanyang City?"
Su Chenyu shook the folding fan in her hand and said, "Cousin, what do you think? I have nothing to do anyway, so it doesn't matter if I go there."
Jing Chen said: "Go!"
Wen Yuan said, "I must go with you!"
Su Chenyu did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Mr. Jing, and thank you, Mr. Su." Prefect Wen said gratefully. He couldn't get up to express his gratitude, so he could only lie on the bed with his hands clasped together and said.
Su Chenyu said, "Master Wen, you are welcome. You are a good official, and this injury cannot be in vain."
Qibao said, "Let's go out. I think Uncle Wen has said enough. This isn't good for him to rest."
They nodded and left the room.
"Cousin, when are we leaving?" Su Chenyu said.
"Anytime is fine. It will take two or three days to get to Xuanyang City from here." Jing Chen said.
"Okay, let's go there after we eat. I'm a little hungry now!" Su Chenyu said, patting his stomach.
After they had finished their meal, they planned to leave. Mrs. Wen and Wen Die sent them to the door.
"Please be careful on your journey!" said Mrs. Wen.
Several people nodded.
Wendie looked at Xu Wenwu, her eyes revealing reluctance to leave. Xu Wenwu nodded gently at her and said softly, "Don't worry, we will be back soon."
Since they all knew how to ride horses, they also rode horses this time. However, they were not in a hurry and did not ride as fast as they did yesterday.
At noon, they found a passing restaurant to fill their stomachs and continued on their journey.
I found an inn to stay in at night, and the journey was not very tiring.
It was dark on the third night when they arrived at an open area twenty or thirty miles away from Xuanyang City.
Su Chenyu said, "I'm afraid we can't enter the city now. There are no inns outside the city. Do we have to stay out all night?"
"Look, there's a village over there. Why don't we go there and find someone to stay with?" Wen Yuan said, pointing to a village not far from them.
Xu Wenwu nodded and said, "That's the only way."
After entering the village, several people found that it was very quiet, and some could vaguely see the flickering candlelight inside.
Su Chenyu walked up and knocked on a door.
Suddenly, a roar from the lady came from inside...
"Get lost! I won't agree to this even if I die! Even if my entire family burns to death here today, I won't let you take my daughter away!"
Su Chenyu and the others were stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.
Su Chenyu could only say loudly: "Auntie, you misunderstood. We are outsiders passing through here. It is dark now and the city gates are locked, so we want to stay overnight at your house."
There was silence inside for a moment, and suddenly a small square wooden board on the wooden door was pushed open from the inside, revealing half of a face staring at Su Chenyu and others outside.
Su Chenyu was close to the man and was almost frightened by the half face.
The woman seemed to be slightly relieved, and then said, "You should all leave! My family might be in trouble tonight, so it's really inconvenient for me to keep you here."
Su Chenyu knew from the woman's roar that this family must have encountered difficulties.
So I said, "Auntie, can you tell me what happened in your family?"
The woman stared at Su Chenyu with bloodshot eyes, tears streaming down her face. She said, "Sir, you'd better not listen. Perhaps after tonight our family may not be in this world anymore." After that, she put down the small wooden block and turned back.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Wen Yuan said, "Let's try another one."
Su Chenyu nodded, and went to the neighboring villager's house surrounded by a courtyard wall and knocked on the door.
From the low wall of the yard, you can see a middle-aged woman holding a candle in the yard.
When he heard the knock on the door, he opened it without hesitation.
