In his previous life, Zhou Wenshu was an effective counselor around Shen Qianxue. Su Jinxia didn't know much about him, but there was one thing about him that left a deep impression on him.

Zhou Wenwen looked sad when he heard Lin Maoye's name.

"Mr. Lin is my mentor, I wonder how I feel now?"

Shen Qianxue replied, "Everything is fine, but I am getting old and my health is not as good as before."

Zhou Wenwen raised his eyes, his eyes already moist, "I'm so ashamed that I haven't been able to visit his old man all these years."

"It's not too late to go now." Shen Qianxue spoke softly and explained the purpose of her visit, "I am here this time to invite you to come out and take over Mr. Lin's position and plan for the stability of the world."

Mr. Lin is the counselor who sits next to the Seventh Prince of Linnan. The fact that Zhou Wensheng can take over this position is enough to show how much Mr. Lin values ​​Zhou Wensheng.

Zhou Wenwen shook his head sadly.

"Young master, you have found the wrong person. I have already decided to live in that hut and will not let you go. Please come back."

"Sir, he is well-read in poetry and books, and is very talented. Are you really willing to live a mediocre life doing nothing?" Shen Qianxue tried to persuade.

Zhou Wenwen was not swayed by Shen Qianxue's words. He turned away lonely and waved his hand, walked back to the room slowly, and even closed the window.

Shen Qianxue knew that this trip would not be easy, otherwise Mr. Lin would not let him come in person, but he did not expect that he would not even be able to get in.

Shen Xi was dissatisfied on behalf of his master and said angrily: "What's wrong with this man? Mr. Lin is highly respected. Shouldn't he feel honored to be able to take on his position?"

Shen Qianxue shook her head and said in a deep voice, "When I came here, Mr. Lin told me that he had a knot in his heart. If the knot in his heart couldn't be resolved, things wouldn't work. But I didn't expect him to be so determined and not give him a chance."

Su Jinxia asked curiously, "What is the knot in his heart that makes him willing to hide in the mountains?"

Su Jinxia doesn't know about these past events.

Shen Qianxue walked down the mountain and spoke briefly when she was far away.

Eight years ago, Zhou Wenwen passed the imperial examination, ranked first in the provincial examination at that time, and had a bright future. However, his wife passed away soon after, and then he became secluded from the world and even gave up the opportunity to take the imperial examination.

Su Jinxia was a little confused. Did the death of his wife have such a big impact on Zhou Wensheng? There seems to be something inside.

Sure enough, Shen Qianxue's eyes were heavy, and she sighed and said: "Hang yourself from the beam, one body and two lives!"

this……

What happened to make a mother willing to take her child to death?

Shen Qianxue didn't know the specific situation.

Because the county government went to see him at that time and found that he had indeed committed suicide, and no one reported the case, the case was not investigated further and was left undisclosed.

In order to untie Zhou Wen's knot, we must understand the whole story.

There is no point in guessing. You have to go to the place where the incident occurred.

So, the three of them set off again.

Zhou Wensheng’s hometown, Yunxi Town.

It was getting late when the three of them arrived, so they found an inn to stay and chatted while eating.

Shen Xi said, "The young master's leg is seriously injured and it is not advisable to walk for too long. Leave it to me to investigate the suicide of Zhou Wenshu's wife."

Su Jin lowered her eyes and moved in front of Shen Qianxue, "Do you believe me?"

Shen Qianxue looked at her sideways, "What's wrong?"

Su Jinxia raised her chin confidently, "If you believe me, I will check it for you."

Shen Xi suddenly became unhappy, why are there still people rushing for work?

"You don't know what you can do!"

Su Jinxia glanced at Shen Xi disdainfully, "Arrogant!"

Shen Qianxue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, then you two should go check it out together, as soon as possible, and you can't delay too long."

Su Jinxia immediately said: "I want to investigate on my own, so I won't go with him."

Shen Xi laughed angrily, "I thought you were holding me back!"

Shen Qianxue put down her chopsticks helplessly, "Then let's each check and see who can check faster."

Shen Xi: "It couldn't be better!"

Su Jinxia gritted her teeth, "This guy never dealt with me in his previous life, let's see how I deal with you this time."

At night, Su Jinxia rubbed her stiff neck and felt no sleepiness at all.

Seeing that the streets were brightly lit and very lively, I went out and bumped into Shen Xi.

Shen Xi is the top master of the Phoenix Pavilion. He holds the sword in his arms and has a killing aura all over his body. This feeling will only be weakened when Shen Qianxue is around.

He is not bad looking, and his figure is not to mention, but pedestrians and girls all walk around him, not daring to take a second look.

"If you go to investigate the case so late, you may lose your life." Shen Xi said coolly.

Su Jinxia stuck out her tongue, "I just want to have a midnight snack, you are overthinking it."

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering why this woman wasn't afraid of him at all. He approached Su Jinxia, ​​his eyes full of warning.

"You'd better be honest and don't have any inappropriate thoughts about my young master!"

Su Jinxia tilted her head, "I have it, what can you do to me?"

provocative!

Shen Xi gritted his teeth, "No one has dared to provoke me like this for a long time!"

"Stop daydreaming. The difference between my young master and yours is beyond your imagination."

"Can you think about it? It's not up to you." Su Jinxia raised her chin and looked at him without any sign of weakness.

What kind of hero do you think you are if you compete with me? If you have the ability, go tell your master and I won’t try to undermine you.

After the flash of lightning, nothing happened.

Su Jinxia happily found a wonton stall and sat down for a midnight snack.

It was late, and the landlady had no business, so she chatted enthusiastically with Su Jinxia.

"Who are you, girl? I've never seen you before."

Su Jinxia smiled and chatted, "I'm from out of town and passing by, but I heard that your Yunxi Town is a good place. Didn't you also produce a talented man named Zhou Wenshen?"

Upon hearing this, the wife of the boss took up the conversation, "Yes, yes, he got the first place in the provincial examination at that time, but it's a pity that after his wives died, he fell into despair and hid in the mountains. He doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. "

"Why did such a good person die?" Su Jin asked while eating.

The landlady sighed twice, walked over to Su Jin and sat down at the table, and whispered: "You don't know, that woman is not a good person, she is a womanizer, she is pregnant with a bastard, and she doesn't know if she was discovered by Zhou Wenwen, she is so ashamed and angry Underneath, the hanging beam committed suicide."

"Oh? Is that so? Then why did Zhou Wenwen hide in the mountains?"

The landlady also didn’t understand. She thought about it and said, “As a scholar, I may have a low reputation. If such a scandal happened at home, I would be too embarrassed to see others.”

Su Jinxia didn't think so and asked a few more questions.

In fact, the landlady didn't know Zhou Wenshu, so what she said was just hearsay, and the rumors actually came from a lunatic named Cuihua.

It is said that when Cuihua saw Fang Ling stealing a man, she said a lot of shady things in vague and crazy ways.

The words of a madman are not trustworthy, but precisely because she is a madman, she will not make up lies and frame irrelevant people.

So everyone believed it, and the story gradually spread.

The landlady was very talkative. After chatting with Su Jinxia for a long time, she said, "Hey, look at me, why are I talking to a girl like you? I'm busy."

Su Jinxia smiled politely and nodded. But her eyes darkened, Fang Ling's matter was not simple!
