The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

The next day, the sun rises three poles.

Meng Jinyao woke up slowly. After opening her eyes, she subconsciously looked at the seat next to her and found that the seat next to her was empty. She then looked outside and found that the room was bright. The sun was obviously shining brightly outside.

She sat up and was about to ring the bell to let the maid in. She suddenly found that her waist was sore. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to rub it and yawned again. Although she didn't wake up until now, she still felt sleepy. After all the hard work last night, she felt tired again. Go to bed too late.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Jinyao saw Gu Jingxi come in. When she saw Gu Jingxi refreshed, she suddenly became depressed. Everyone was obviously doing the hard work together, so why was she the only one who felt tired?

Gu Jingxi saw that she had woken up and was still wilted. He strode forward and asked softly, "Ayao, how do you feel?"

Meng Jinyao stared at him accusingly: "My back is sore, I'm tired, and I'm still a little sleepy. It's all your fault for working so late."

Gu Jingxi sat down, held her in his arms, and said apologetically: "It's because of your husband, but I'll rub it for you." After saying that, he turned her body over, let her lie on the bed, and rubbed her waist. .

His technique is good, the force is moderate, and the pressure is very comfortable.

After a long time, Meng Jinyao felt that her backache had been relieved a lot, so she got up and called the maid to come in and wait on her.

After washing up, dressing up, and dressing neatly, it's already noon, and it's lunch time.

Gu Jingxi ordered the maid to prepare the meal.

After lunch, Yu Chuan came to inform: "Master Marquis, Fang Xuan and Fang Ce are back."

When Gu Jingxi heard this, he spoke to his young wife and went to the study room in the front yard. Fang Xuan and Fang Ce were sent here before he left the capital. They arrived at Huzhou Mansion before them and followed his instructions to investigate some things. I don't know if there are any. looks.

After he left, Meng Jinyao told her confidant maid Qingqiu about what happened last night. When she came out of the clean room after taking a bath last night and saw the menstrual belt prepared by Qingqiu, she knew that Qingqiu had misunderstood that she was menstruating. , after all, Qingqiu would not have thought of Luo Hong in this situation.

After hearing this, Qingqiu was shocked: "Madam, have you consummated your marriage with Mr. Hou? Mr. Hou's illness has also healed?"

Meng Jinyao nodded: "Master Hou's illness is cured, it was Mrs. Wen who cured him."

Qingqiu was stunned for a long time before digesting the news. A happy smile appeared on her face, and she was happy for her: "Madam, this is really great, so that you and the Marquis can be like a normal couple and still have children. Maybe you will have children." There is already a little prince in my belly."

Meng Jinyao subconsciously reached out and touched her flat belly, and smiled: "I guess it won't be that fast, but my cold syndrome has been cured, and I guess there will be no problem with the heir."

Qingqiu said thoughtfully, "It's better to be pregnant with the younger prince later. It takes more than half a month to return to Beijing by boat, which is not suitable for raising a baby."

Meng Jinyao said warmly: "Let nature take its course. If you get pregnant, you can give your mother a surprise when you return to the capital. My mother is so kind to her unrelated grandson, which shows that she likes children very much."

-

Front yard study.

Fang Xuan and Fang Ce were already waiting in the study. They were twin brothers, about 21 or 22 years old. They looked almost the same, but had different temperaments. Fang Xuan was calm and reserved, while Fang Ce was gentle and laughed.

After Gu Jingxi came in, the two brothers bowed respectfully.

Gu Jingxi waved his hand, indicating that they didn't have to be polite, and asked them to sit down. Then he asked, "Did you find any clues when you went to Deqing County?"

Fang Xuan replied: "Back to Lord Marquis, we went to Deqing County to investigate the deaths of the first two magistrates of Deqing County and the first official who came to investigate the case. As the file said, they died of sudden illness. They had slurred speech, difficulty breathing, and general numbness and weakness. Before the onset of the disease, they all experienced the same thing, that is, getting up in the middle of the night, saying that someone was complaining about injustice, and wanted to get up to see who was complaining about injustice, but in fact there was no such thing. People complain about being wronged, and then fall ill the next day, and everyone says it’s because they’ve seen ghosts and been harmed by the ghosts of wronged people.”

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi frowned slightly. This was not a useful clue. He also saw this in the file. These three people all heard someone complaining about injustice before they died. Someone must have been up to something and deliberately created this kind of coincidence to confuse the public.

Gu Jingxi asked again: "Apart from this, are there any other situations?"

Fang Xuan replied: "Both magistrates were good officials in the eyes of the people. They were fair and strict, and their officials were honest. However, there was a businessman who had a grudge against the former magistrate, Mr. Sun."

Gu Jingxi asked: "Why did they have a grudge?"

Fang Xuan explained the matter: "It was a businessman named Li. His only son raped and killed a good girl. The girl's brother reported him. Mr. Sun convicted the young master of the Li family and sentenced him to beheading. The case was closed. Then submit it to the prefect, Mr. Wei."

"Master Wei found out something suspicious after re-examination. This woman had an old relationship with the Li family's young master. The Li family's young master planned to take her as a concubine. Unexpectedly, after the woman's brother found out, the brother grew hateful because of love, raped and killed the woman. , and put the blame on Mr. Li."

"This brother refused to plead guilty at first, insisting that it was Mr. Li who committed the murder. Later he was willing to confess after being executed. After hearing that he was sentenced to be beheaded in public, because he was afraid of being beheaded in public and leaving his body intact, he bumped his head against a pillar and died. This case Finished."

"But Mr. Sun was not rigorous in his trial, and Mr. Li was almost sentenced to beheading. Because of this, the businessman surnamed Li hated Mr. Sun. He even told others that Mr. Sun was incompetent. I don't know how many people died innocently because of Mr. Sun."

"However, this was also a drunken blunder. The businessman's status was low and he did not dare to accuse the court official openly. In addition, Lord Sun was a good official in the eyes of the people. The people only thought that the woman's brother was vicious and cunning, which made Lord Sun It was a misjudgment, so these remarks did not cause any splash. The woman’s parents also left this sad place and lived elsewhere.”

After Gu Jingxi heard the whole story, at first glance, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but he had doubts in his heart: "It's just that, as an elder brother, how could he hate him out of love?"

Fang Xuan replied: "He is not the woman's biological brother. He is an orphan adopted by the woman's parents. The woman's parents thought about getting the two children married, but the woman had no male-female feelings for her brother, so they gave up."

Gu Jingxi nodded slightly, thought about it in his mind, and then asked: "Did the businessman named Li do anything against Mr. Sun afterwards?"

Fang Xuan shook his head: "The businessman surnamed Li did not do anything else. He was just dissatisfied with Mr. Sun's misjudgment and almost killed his only son. By the way, Lord Marquis, the businessman surnamed Li has a close relationship with Mr. Chen, the new county magistrate after Mr. Sun. Good, because although the businessman surnamed Li is engaged in business, he also understands poetry and poetry, so he can chat with Mr. Chen."

After Gu Jingxi heard this, he ruled out for the time being that the businessman surnamed Li was trying to kill the imperial official. After all, one was Mr. Sun who had a grudge against him, and the other was Mr. Chen who had a good relationship. However, the cause of death of Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen was the same, both of which were sudden emergencies. , the symptoms were the same, and the first official sent by the court to investigate the case was even less likely to be murdered by a businessman named Li.

Fang Ce on the side asked: "Master Hou, is there anything else we need to investigate?"

Gu Jingxi thought for a moment and then ordered: "Fang Ce, go find the woman's parents. Fang Xuan, go check on the Li family's young master. He has an old relationship with the woman and find out what their relationship is like."

The two brothers said in unison: "Yes, Lord Marquis."

After Fang Xuan and Fang Ce left, Gu Jingxi told Yu Chuan: "Yu Chuan, hurry up about the matter I asked you to investigate earlier."
