Chapter 161 That fire... came strangely.
He Xuran walked out of the Wei family with a black face.
What kind of people are they!
It feels like no one is normal except Yu Tingwan!
No, Yu Tingwan is not very normal either.
Seeing that Wei Zhao really had difficulty breathing, veins popped up under his hands, and he was really about to suffocate, Yu Tingwan was anxious and kicked them out directly.
The reason is very simple.
She said that He Xuran scared her husband.
He Xuran:...
How dare you lie with your eyes open?
Don't you know what kind of man you are!
It's obvious that he strangled himself! And he can't untie it! It's really useless!
Useless Wei Zhao has no desire to live at this moment. Because he tied it into a knot. Yu Tingwan was in a hurry and couldn't cut it open. There was no one in the room, and there was no one to worry about. The girl simply found a pair of scissors. The hem of the dress was pulled by someone. Yu Tingwan comforted: "Wait, it will be fine soon." It was pulled again. Wei Zhao: "I..." His voice was barely audible. "I never thought..." "...one day." "It will...be like this..." He panted. Yu Tingwan was afraid of hurting him, so she moved very carefully. Soon, the gauze was cut into pieces. "It's...disgraceful." Wei Zhao's pale and broken face was revealed. Perhaps he was really suffocating and in pain, and the corners of his eyes were stained with watery red. He said the sentence in several parts before he finished it with difficulty. Yu Tingwan knelt in front of the bed and lowered her head in guilt. She was a typical person who would only take soft measures and not hard ones. If Wei Zhao blamed her for giving bad advice, she would definitely blame Wei Zhao for being naughty. But Wei Zhao didn't. His posture was still so weak and delicate. Yu Tingwan: "It's my fault." She knew who Wei Zhao was! Why didn't she think that he would pull off the gauze! She! Reflect! "Is my husband still feeling uncomfortable?" "Do you want me to find Doctor Ge to come and see him?" Wei Zhao was gently stroked on the back by the girl to relieve his breath, and was fed some water. After a while, his condition improved a lot. He half leaned back, his eyelids drooping. "I won't let it go..." Yu Tingwan: ??? The girl frowned, her heart was lifted. Could it be her? Wei Zhao glanced at the instigator. Forget it, he couldn't bear to let go of his own wife. Wei Zhao thought for a while: "He Xuran's." If he didn't come, there wouldn't be so many things. Why wasn't Yang Weiwen here? Because he's already miserable enough. "It should be like this." Yu Tingwan pursed her lips: "He has been very abnormal since he came to the door." It gave Yu Tingwan an illusion that He Xuran cared about her background and her parents. But Yang Weiwen came to disrupt the situation. He said it sincerely. The girl was successfully led astray by her. That's right. Her parents are just ordinary people, how could they know the nobles who came to Beijing. "Then Lord He has seen all kinds of girls, and it stands to reason that he wouldn't look down on me." Yu Tingwan was very troubled by this and patted Wei Zhao. "But your wife is too popular." However, she promised. "Don't worry, I don't care about others, whether they are good or bad." The girl did not forget to increase her favorability to show her loyalty. "My heart and eyes are full of only you, my husband." Wei Zhao seemed to have only heard the last sentence, and he asked softly: "Only me?" Yu Tingwan: "Of course!" The man's eyes were dark. He wanted to say. - Yu Tingwan. - Next time you say something like this, look into my eyes. But no. Wei Zhao said faintly: "That's right." "After all, I almost died for you once." Yu Tingwan: ... suffocated to death? It sounds like he went through fire and water for her.
Okay, okay.
Wei Zhao also followed her and started talking nonsense.
Soon, Yu Tingwan couldn't help but feel anxious again.
"What if He Xuran comes again?"
It's not easy to follow Qing Ya in that state.
They are not prepared, and they are afraid that what happened today will happen again.
Wei Zhao: "No."
He smiled, his voice flat: "He Xuran will be very busy."
————
Post station.
As soon as He Xuran returned, he called his confidant.
"Go check the Wei family."
The confidant was puzzled.
Didn't you just go to see Wei Shen? Why turn around to check him?
He Xuran emphasized: "Focus on investigating Wei's wife and her parents."
"Give me any information you can find as soon as possible."
Confidant: "Yes."
The confidant didn't take this order seriously.
After all, ordinary people are easy to investigate.
An hour later.
He found He Xuran.
He Xuran brewed tea: "Tell me about it."
Confidant: "The Wei family is from Xilin Village, and Wei Shen, the son of the Wei family, is the heir of the second house. He was forced to replace his cousin in the conscription list."
He Xuran frowned: "Forced?"
The confidant was also indignant when he said this.
"That Wei Shen is not even of conscription age!"
He Xuran: "The court has decreed that you can be exempted from conscription if you pay the conscription fee."
However, the conscription fee has always been high.
After all, everyone is afraid of death. If everyone escapes conscription, the barracks will not be able to recruit people, and if a war really breaks out, the troops will be insufficient.
"Get some wine and drinks to show your filial piety, bribe the higher-ups, and you don't have to pay for the replacement. The Wei family has paid for it."
"My subordinates have investigated and found that this phenomenon is not uncommon. I'm afraid it's not just in four cities."
He Xuran:? ?
Confidant: "Yes, my lord has another case."
He Xuran:...
He asked for it.
It feels like something is wrong.
"I'll sort it out later,"
He Xuran: "Anything else?"
"According to my investigation, the Wei family is an authentic farming family. It was not a coincidence that they bought the yard. It was arranged by Chi Yu before he left Beijing."
He Xuran suddenly realized.
It seemed to make sense.
After all, the Wei family army valued affection.
"I'll check the relatives of the Wei family as well."
Well, he found the Zhao family.
"Wei Shen has a cousin named Zhao Yu. He studies in the town."
"He started school late, and his family is not flattering. He went to the teacher's house to ask for benefits..."
"He has never been carefully cultivated over the years."
He Xuran said coldly: "It is common to flatter the powerful and trample on the weak in the world."
Not to mention the elementary school, He Xuran has seen how harshly the court trampled.
"Which teacher? You can knock on him later."
The confidant was embarrassed: "It's the one with the surname Chu."
"It's the one that the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice always praises in front of you."
The confidant: "I'll check him as well."
This investigation is incredible!
Yes!
He didn't find out what he should have found.
What he shouldn't have found seemed to be... a lot.
"Master! This teacher intends to marry his daughter to his favorite student, and that student happens to be Mrs. Wei's cousin."
Whether they are cousins or not is not important.
"The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice has also praised him."
Confidant: "The man surnamed Chu has spared no effort to run around for that student. He doesn't care much about the other students in the academy now, but he cares about his future son-in-law. He treated him to drinks, played the world of fame and fortune, and even contacted the invigilator of the previous provincial examination in Ze County."
Is this bribery?
He Xuran:...
"Sir, I'm sorry. You seem to have... inexplicably added another case."
He Xuran felt as if he was being manipulated.
He was a little tired.
"Let's talk about the Yu family."
The confidant looked into his eyes and was stained with guilt.
"The parents of the Yu family died in a fire."
"That fire... came strangely."
Warm reminder:
He is a very important character.
The plot of the previous chapter is very important, with many foreshadowings, and I am not wasting words.
It may be a bit tiring to watch~, thank you for your hard work.
The truth will come out little by little, muah
