He said hello to Zhou Zhengqing in the file warehouse, sorted out the cases that he just entered today, and Su Ning picked up the folding umbrella and gave a random reason to leave the file library.

Outside at this moment, it is raining and flying flowers, and the east wind is slanting willows.According to the news from Yulin Town, Suning found someone on the East Street to ask about the Wu family who was engaged at that time, and bought green balls on the road, with salted duck eggs in it, the kind with red oil left after one bite, or red bean paste , Fragrant and soft.Suning ate several youth groups and found Wu's house.

That family is distantly related to Prime Minister Wu, and it is well known in Dongjie.At that time, the betrothed son was called Wu Wenxuan, now he is 23 years old, a scholar, and he likes to go to Taibailou to chat with people.

Knock, knock, Suning knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, the neighbor next door to the Wu family opened the door. The old man hunched over and looked at the young man in front of him suspiciously.

"Grandpa, hello, I was sent by the government to register the account name." Suning took out the token: "A few days ago, some account names could not be read clearly in the book for a long time."

The old man coughed a few times, opened the door and let Suning into the room and said: "There are five members of my family, the eldest and the second have to go to work, I will show the signature to the official. The official sits here first, we Pour a cup of tea for the officer."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm a junior, how can I let you do it, just call me Lin Ning. Just register an account name, you take a rest first." Su Ning hurriedly helped the old man into the room.

"Mr. Lin." The old man waved his hand to ask Suning to help him. He wanted to enter the house to find the signature.

Su Ning waited in the outer hall, looking at the house next door. A few apricot trees grew tall, with bright petals, falling with the wind, animal heads stood on the tall cornices, red tiles and white walls, it looked like a wealthy family .

The old man came out from inside, holding a booklet in his hand, and interrupted Suning's gaze when he spoke. "Mr. Lin, here is the signature, take a look."

Su Ning stood up and politely took the booklet, flipped through it and casually said: "Grandpa, I just came to the government to work, and some things are not clear. I think the next door seems to be a rich family, so I dare not go. I am afraid that I will say the wrong thing and cause trouble. to be blamed by them."

The old man handed over a cup of tea and said, "It's not easy to do errands in the government at such a young age."

"How can I get Grandpa to pour tea? I'll do it." Suning quickly took the teacup, and asked a little shyly, "Can Grandpa tell me about the neighbors? I'm afraid of offending someone~"

"The next door is a bit violent. When you go, don't provoke the son of that family. The boss of my family broke an apricot flower last time and was beaten up by the son of the next door. Now his face is still the same. bruised."

"You don't report to the officials for beating someone, but his son, I heard from others, is related to Prime Minister Wu."

The old man waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you are related or not. It's just that their son seems to be playing with the son of Prime Minister Wu's family in the past, but he hasn't seen much in recent years. As for reporting to the official, how dare you, this family It's amazing."

"Really?" Su Ning finished flipping through the signed document, and saw that the old man's emotions had relaxed, and he was ready for hypnosis.He took a jade pendant from his belt, shook it in front of the old man and said, "Grandpa, this is also the content of the government's work, please keep an eye on this jade pendant."

As soon as Su Ning opened his mouth, Xiao Wu immediately said: "Contractors are not allowed to hypnotize the main person. The system determines that the person in front of him is not the main person, and the contractor can use skills."

Su Ning was speechless for a moment. He waited for his mental power to improve a lot before he prepared to use shortcuts. First, he used this old man to practice his hands, and then he would attack Wu Wenxuan, or even Prime Minister Wu. He could easily understand Lin'an The case was pending, but it was rejected by the system so quickly. It seems that it is not enough to take a shortcut. It really needs to be investigated case by case.

"One, two, three." Suning snapped his fingers.

"Do you know about the engagement between Wu Wenxuan and Yu Linxi a year ago?"

The old man stared blankly, and replied obediently: "I know."

Su Ning continued to ask: "Tell me clearly what you knew about the engagement at that time."

"Young master of the Wu family is engaged to a girl from the Yu family, but it seems that the young master of the Wu family is dissatisfied with the marriage, and often hangs around the place of flowers and willows. Afterwards, something happened to the Yu family, and the marriage was broken, but the young master of the Wu family was very unhappy and nostalgic. As for the girl from the Yu family, sometimes I heard Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu quarreling, saying that they should not marry again. Afterwards, the prisoner was caught, and Mr. Wu went to beat the prisoner to discourage him."

"Then on May [-] last year, do you know where Wu Wenxuan was? Have you seen him?"

The old man couldn't remember, hesitantly asked: "May [-] last year?"

Suning said inducingly, "The day Yu's family was destroyed."

The old man remembered something and said: "That day, when Wu Wenxuan was at home, my boss saw him beating the servants in the yard, and even beat a girl half to death."

Su Ning continued to ask: "What time?"

The old man said: "It was around Hai hour at night. That girl was screaming terribly. In the end, Mr. Wu came out and pushed Wu Wenxuan back. That girl seems to have been sold, I don't know."

"Is Wu Wenxuan often so irritable?"

"Sometimes I think Mr. Wu is gentle and clean, and he is reasonable. It's just that sometimes, when Mr. Wu gets angry, it will kill people. As neighbors, we dare not provoke their family.

The same is true of Mr. Wu, who looks gentle and gentle, but he is not merciless in beating people, even Mrs. Wu's face is blue and purple when she is beaten sometimes.This was what my boss told me when he climbed the wall to peek, but sometimes I can really hear Mrs. Wu howling. "

"Do you know anything about the Wu family?"

The old man shook his head: "I don't know, the door of their house is closed all year round, except for Mr. Wu who will go out, other people rarely go out."

"Okay, do you know the name of the girl who was beaten? And where did she sell it?"

"I know that girl's name is Xiao Cui, but as for where she sold it, I don't know."

"Okay, you haven't seen me today, so take the signature back to the room." Suning shook the jade pendant, snapped his fingers again and said, "Wake up by yourself after counting dozens."

On the wall of the neighbor's house, Su Ning took a breath and climbed up, peeking at a group of maidservants passing by next door, then hid himself on a dense apricot tree, waited for the people to go away, and slipped away Come down and enter the Wu Mansion.

Zhou Yi, who was in the distance, silently twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally some expression appeared on his face that had been rigid all the time. When did Suning know martial arts? He didn't notice after following him for so long.

After stepping into Wu's mansion, he stole a servant's coat from the servant's room and put it on, followed the servant serving food outside into the main hall, and watched the three members of the Wu family eat.

Sitting on the top should be Mr. Wu, with a white face and beardless, waiting for others to serve him with a cold face. Sitting on the left is Wu Wenxuan, with beautiful features, but there is evil spirit between the eyebrows, which eliminates the femininity of his face.Mrs. Wu has a submissive attitude, even in front of Wu Wenxuan, and there are indeed unresolved bruises around her eyes, and some burn marks on her exposed wrists.

Suning has always been outside, now waiting for someone to go out with a plate, and naturally followed, with his head bowed all the way to the kitchen.Many cooks and maids were busy in the kitchen, chatting while washing vegetables, and laughed out loud when they talked about their interests.

Suning paid attention to the most talkative cook among them, who was of the older generation in terms of seniority.After recognizing the appearance, Su Ning threw the servant out of the Wu Mansion, looked in the direction where Zhou Yi was and waved.

Zhou Yi shook his body, just like Lin Shaoqing at that time, looked around for a while, and made sure that Suning was looking for him, and still called the emperor with his lips.He hesitated for a long time before showing his face, looking at Suning with surprise, he had been a secret guard for decades, except for the emperor, not even the little duke could discover his existence.

Su Ning interrupted Monday's cranky thoughts and said, "You were sent by the emperor to assist me."

Zhou Yi nodded silently. Although he didn't know how he was discovered by Suning, it couldn't be said that he was sent by the emperor to monitor him.

"Just now you also saw the eloquent cook. Waiting for her to leave the Wu Mansion, knock her unconscious and tie her to my house. This is very important and I will leave it to you. I will go to Dali first. Temple." Suning waved his hand and left without looking back.

Zhou Yi stood quietly in the alley. He was sent by the emperor to monitor Suning, but now he was called by Suning to do something. What should he do now? !Zhou Yi, who has always been accustomed to obeying orders, hesitated for a long time, thinking about what the emperor said when he came that day, giving Suning what he wanted, and then turned around and entered Wu's mansion.

At sunset, Han Zimo hopped over and passed a post to Suning, which was a list of people who would play in the cruise ship tomorrow.These noble sons are waiting for Tianming to worship their ancestors, and then start playing tomorrow afternoon.Now the largest pleasure boat on the lake has been booked, and many famous actors have been invited to sing.

Waiting to go home, the fast speed on Monday really tied the cook back.

Suning removed the black cloth from the cook's eyes, first said a few words casually, and used his mental strength to ease the cook's emotions, then treated the cook in the same way, and got some news.

Master Wu would sometimes beat and scold Mrs. Wu without mercy, let alone his servants. The same was true for Wu Wenxuan, but sometimes when Wu Wenxuan beat someone too much, Master Wu would be angry and make him kneel in the ancestral hall.

Wu Wenxuan always went to Huajie and Liuxiang to play during the day, and was rarely at home on weekdays.It was probably the same on May [-]th. At that time, I took a servant girl out, and when I came back at night, I beat the servant girl half to death.These are also common things, and the cooks are used to it. Sometimes Wu Wenxuan beats people without knowing his emotions, so these servants dare not show their faces in front of Wu Wenxuan.

The maid was beaten half to death, and after raising her for one night, Master Wu sold her out. The maid was born in a family and was a slave all her life. No one dared to say right or wrong after she sold it. , no one knows now.

Suning figured out the general situation of the Wu family and asked Zhou Yi to take the cook back.
