Wen Family Has a Wife

Qiongzhu took a while to understand, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, but my father brought a distinguished guest to your restaurant that day, and the distinguished guest said that your restaurant's food is good, so he dragged my father to give it to you." I have bought some things, and I will ask you for a few jars of peach blossom wine."

Wen Yuanliang heaved a sigh of relief, nodded desperately and said, "That's it, my lady doesn't know, our shop's business was good yesterday."

Qiongzhu just watched Wen Yuanliang boasting to Zhuo Qianyu without blinking her eyes, coaxing her into a smile, her jaw dropped in shock, and she was still a little dazed when she walked out of Liu'an Lane.

As soon as Qiongzhu left, Wen Yuanliang immediately asked Shuyan to bring the cart full of things. There were two big boxes in total. In one box were some precious supplements, pens, inkstones and a pair of calligraphy and paintings for scholars. Wen Yuanliang opened it and couldn't help but Praise: "Good painting!"

Zhuo Qianyu also came over to appreciate it together, nodded slowly with a smile on his face, his eyes fell on the inscription, his expression was concentrated, and he looked at Wen Yuanliang in shock, "The distinguished guest who went to the shop last night was the emperor?"

Wen Yuanliang was shocked this time, "How do you know!"

"Really!" Zhuo Qianyu squinted his eyes, said excitedly and joyfully, "Look at this seal, the word 'Fu Sheng' was used by the emperor in his early years, and no one dares to use this word in the existing paintings. Engraved seals, plus what Qiongzhu said about the honored guests of Prince Li, there are not many people who can be called honored guests by Prince Li."

Wen Yuanliang grinned from ear to ear, "My lady is smart! Since this is the case, we must keep this painting well so that it will be a family heirloom in the future!"

Zhuo Qianyu also meant the same thing, regardless of the purpose of the imperial gift, it should be carefully collected.

Dai Wen Yuanliang carefully put the scroll into the box, the couple looked at the second box again, opened it, and found a small box inside, which contained fifty ingots of one hundred taels of silver, a total of five thousand taels. It's a gold and jade face, I don't know if it was given by the emperor or the prince.

The husband and wife looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a while, finally Zhuo Qianyu asked Bai Lian to put all the things into the warehouse and register them.

With the extra five thousand taels, Wen Yuanliang is also stable. The things destroyed in the shop yesterday are estimated to be about one hundred taels, and it will take three to four days to redecorate. One hundred taels, five thousand taels is enough to make up for his loss, and there is even more than enough.

With no worries about business, he has the leisure to think about what happened last night. Who are those people after? Ming Shuo? Zheng Ying? Or the emperor?

Wen Yuanliang couldn't figure it out, at the same time, in the royal study of the palace.

The emperor looked gloomyly at Ming Shuo and Zheng Ying, who were kneeling on the ground, "It's been one night! It's been a whole night! You haven't pried their mouths open yet! I can't wait"

The emperor really wanted to kill them, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed the words.

Ming Shuo and Zheng Ying lowered their heads even lower.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I can't pry their mouths open, it's that these are a group of dead men, all of whom are dumb, who can hear, but can't speak, and can't read. It takes a lot of time for me to interrogate them," Ming Shuo explained weakly. .

The emperor laughed angrily, "That's because you are incompetent! Don't make excuses with me! I'll give you another day, and I want the result! If you can't get the trial again, you all get out!"

"Zunzhi" Ming Shuo hung his head and walked out of the imperial study with Zheng Ying one after the other, and they looked at each other with bitter faces.

"What should I do?" Ming Shuo tugged at his hair irritably, only his hair was thick, otherwise how could he stand up to such tossing.

Zheng Yingsheng was afraid that he would make himself bald, so he quickly grabbed his hand, and said in a deep voice: "We made a mistake in what happened yesterday. We thought it would be easier to lure people out, but we didn't know we would meet the emperor, so we can only say I didn't read the almanac when I went out, so the best way now is to put down my face and ask for help."

"Huh?" Ming Shuo pointed in the direction of the Criminal Department, "over there?"

Zheng Ying shook her head, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice is still trying the case of Ouyang's family. Even if we beg to come to the door at this moment, I'm afraid they won't answer us. Who else is more capable than the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

"Dark camp?" Ming Shuo blurted out without thinking.

"Impossible! That man is very evil. We have no friendship with him. Asking him for help must be in debt. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay back."

Mingshuo is still very smart at critical times.

Zheng Ying couldn't laugh or cry, "General, now is the critical moment. Also, don't forget the friendship with Zhuo Bufan. Why don't you invite Zhuo Bufan to come forward together? After all, what happened yesterday happened with Zhuo Bufan's student. Wen Yuanliang is still Zhuo Bufan will definitely not ignore his eldest brother's son-in-law."

Ming Shuo thought about it carefully, his eyes lit up in vain, "What you said makes sense! Then let's go out of the palace to find Zhuo Bufan!"

Kang Chengwang, who was walking towards them, had a good look at the two people's successful tricks. Kang Chengwang directly stopped them, "I heard that you were assassinated yesterday? Are you bringing the emperor with you?"

Ming Shuo was so angry that he screamed and jumped, "Who said that? This is slander! Obviously it is"

He can't say what it is, but he must not accept this pot, otherwise those old guys in Yushitai who have nothing to do will definitely give him a hard copy.

Kang Chengwang knew Ming Shuo's deadly character, and didn't expect him to tell the truth, but said with a straight face: "It doesn't matter what it is, what matters is whether you found out who was behind the scenes?"

One sentence made Ming Shuo's whole body faint, and he shook his head with drooping head, "The emperor said to give us one more day, one day is not enough! No, the two of us combined to find the one in the dark camp for help."

As soon as he heard that he was going to find the person in the dark camp, Kang Chengwang immediately regained his spirits, "Let's go! I'll go with you!"

"You go too!" Ming Shuo widened his eyes.

"Can't you?" Kang Chengwang raised his eyebrows.

So two people become three people.

Walking outside the palace, Kang Cheng looked at Ming and Zheng riding towards the direction of the outer city on horseback, and asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you going to find the man from the dark camp, why are you running to the outer city?"

Ming Shuo rolled his eyes at him angrily, "What a face you have! You will be seen when you come to the door! Can this be done without a middleman?"

Kang Chengwang narrowed his eyes immediately, "Zhuo Bufan?"

Ming Shuo gave him a questioning look and speeded up.

When the three arrived at Zhuo Bufan's mansion, he happened to have not gone out yet, seeing these three, his head was as big as a bucket, and before Ming Shuo could open his mouth, he asked, "For what happened last night?"

Ming Shuo nodded with a serious face, clasped his fists and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Zhuo to do me a favor."

Zhuo Bufan: "?????"

When Zhuo Bufan was standing outside the old Jitou's house, there was nothing he didn't understand, and he glanced at Mingshuo speechlessly, "So what is your so-called small favor? Ask me to intercede?"
