Chapter 148 Unpredictable

For several days, the Wen and Qin families were very busy.

People from the Wen family were investigating the Zuifenglou case, and even Yuan Sima, but the results were not satisfactory.All the people in Zuifeng Tower were taken into custody, and the body of the deceased was also in the government office. The only person the Wen family had access to was the person who reported the case, so naturally no results could be obtained from the investigation.As for Yuan Sima, he kept a low profile all these years, and the Wen family couldn't find any excuse for him for a while.

The Qin family was even more turbulent. First, Qin An failed to do Wen Jinghan's order, so that the family members of the people in Zuifenglou were taken away, and then Zhou Qiyan came to the door.So Qin Yi asked people to find those missing family members, and at the same time, he wanted to cleanse the servants of the Qin family - at least no one could persuade Mrs. Qin to see Zhou Qiyan.

It's a pity that now that Wen Jinghan is in prison, it's hard for Qin Yi to act in the Qin family as the young wife.After all, it is the daughter-in-law who wants to touch the people in the mother-in-law's yard. No matter how soft Mrs. Qin is, she will not compromise easily at this time.So the mother and daughter fell into a stalemate again, and the servants of the Qin residence watched the excitement as if they were watching a big drama.

However, for three or five days, while worrying about Wen Jinghan's situation, and having to face his troubled mother-in-law at the same time, Qin Yi felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Another evening, Qin Yi personally went to the prison with a food box to visit the prison. The guards were already used to seeing Mrs. Young Master Qin smiling more enthusiastically—of course, the Qin family came to visit the prison to give money. Yes, and three meals a day, and more when the young lady comes in person.In just a few days so far, these jailers have collected more money than in previous years.

"Young Madam, don't worry, Mr. Qin didn't suffer any hardships here, and he stays in the prison well every day. Master Chen hasn't been interrogated in the past two days, so you don't have to worry about her being tortured." The jailer led the way as usual, and came down in a few days It seems to be familiar, and I will chatter a few words.

Qin Yi reluctantly responded twice, and when he followed the jailer to the cell where Wen Jinghan was, he felt that the bloody smell around him was two points thicker than the last time he came back.She was a little worried, so she asked, "Why is the smell of blood so strong here?"

The jailer laughed, and the laughter added two points of gloom in the dark prison: "Young Master Qin doesn't need to be punished, but the case will always be tried, and someone will always be punished, right?" Mentioned: "Two days ago, there was another person who developed a fever in the prison after being tortured. He couldn't be rescued and died in the prison."

Qin Yi was already a little uncomfortable by his gloomy tone, but after hearing what he said, the hairs on his back were about to stand on end.Fortunately, the two had arrived at the door of Wen Jinghan's cell. Qin Yi looked at the familiar thin figure in the cell through the fence, and the chill in his heart dissipated a lot, replaced by a shallow warmth and peace of mind.

After these few days of wantonly throwing money, Wen Jinghan's treatment in this cell has improved. In addition to the brocade quilt and curtains that were delivered at the earliest, some tables, chairs and even oil lamps were gradually added.At this moment, Wen Jinghan was sitting on a stool, looking up at the air vent above the wall. The golden sunset was reflected in through the air vent, and it was shining on her face, as if coating her golden light.

With a sound of "crash", the chains around the prison door were untied, and the jailer pushed open the prison door and said, "Young madam, please."

Wen Jinghan didn't know what to think about at first, but when she heard this, she turned around and saw Qin Yi coming in with a food box.Her brows and eyes softened a bit, and she was able to laugh even in such an environment: "You are here."

Qin Yi said "hmm", walked over and put the food box on the table, then raised his eyes to look at Wen Jinghan, then pouted and said: "I've lost a lot of weight in the past two days, thanks to me. The food was brought, did you not eat properly?"

Wen Jinghan raised her hand and touched Qin Yi's face, and replied, "You've lost even more weight." After speaking, she comforted softly, "I told you, you'll be fine, you don't have to worry."

Qin Yi had to worry, she lowered her voice and said: "I still haven't found those family members. If they are really caught and used as threats, then it will be difficult for you to get away if they are framed."

Wen Jinghan shook her head and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. It's been a few days now, if it was a threat, it should have been used long ago. But until now no one has confessed to the crime of poisoning, I guess, Maybe it was my father and the others who did it."

The Wen family picked people up, but it was not just about settling down, it was also a threat from another point of view—these cooks and buddies in Zuifenglou must have been passed on, so they gritted their teeth and carried the torture, and did not commit suicide. Acknowledge the poison.Up to now, except for Wen Jinghan and Zhang Guanshi, almost everyone in this prison has received a round of torture, and even died, but no one dared to confess.

When Qin Yi heard this, his eyes widened at first, and then his whole body was full of anger, and he felt aggrieved: "I go to Wen's house every day, but your father doesn't tell me anything, he always says a few words Just send me away, and let me go home and wait. I have used all the people I can use in the past few days, just to find someone, he must know all about it, and he will not tell me!"

The young master can't do anything to his father-in-law, so he can only complain to Miss Wen, and let him be pitiful by the way.

Wen Jinghan naturally knew Qin Yi's grievance after listening to it, but she couldn't do anything about it. She knew that her own father didn't like Qin Yi, so she didn't want to see anything.However, she couldn't change the situation with a few words, so she could only say a few more comforting words: "My father acts in his own way, so you don't have to worry. If I'm not wrong, the shortest is a few days, and the longest is half a month. I can go out."

After hearing this, Qin Yi really didn't care about his grievances, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Can you still get news in this prison?!"

Wen Jinghan shook her head, and said, "If my father hadn't found out the case, and the new magistrate arrived, it would probably be around this time."

……

It is actually very difficult to determine the time for the handover of local officials. If the official department has already assigned it, it is common for two officials to hand over directly. But if the assignment is not in time, it is not surprising that a position will be vacant for several months including the time on the way to the new official's appointment. .

Considering the prosperity of Los Angeles, although the position of the prefect of Los Angeles is not a big vacancy, there are so many people want to come.In previous years, the transfer orders from the Ministry of Officials were delivered early, and the old and new magistrates were also handed over face to face, but it was the first time that there was such a vacancy this time.No one in the Luocheng government office knew the reason, but according to the usual practice, this delay would take at least one or two months, which made people have different thoughts.

Yuan Sima was leisurely and leisurely, he didn't pay attention to the Wen family at all, and even vaguely hoped that the two young masters of the Wen family in the capital would do something.As long as they dared to reach out, his teacher Feng Taifu would be able to chop off the paws of those two people and completely trample the Wen family under their feet.It doesn't matter if the two of them don't do anything, he is here to drive the Qin family to a desperate situation, and he still worries that the old woman won't obediently hand over the money to redeem her precious son? !

Now that His Majesty has just taken charge of the government, he wants to make drastic reforms, but the treasury is empty and the household department is crying for poverty all day long. It is the time when there is a shortage of money.The Qin family has accumulated a fortune for 20 years. When he brings the money to the teacher and sends it to the teacher, and then the teacher presents it to the heavens, His Majesty will have to credit him for his contribution. Why worry about the road to success in the future?

A mere Sima in Los Angeles, he has been a sixth-rank petty official for eight years, and he doesn't want to stay in this crappy place next year!

Yuan Sima played a good plan, and felt that with Feng Taifu's backing, he would still be in the emperor's heart in the future. Even if he couldn't help the teacher pull out a thorn in the eye, he didn't have to be afraid of a declining writer in the future.

After waiting for these days, Yuan Sima calculated that the time was almost up, so he planned to let Zhou Qiyan go to the Qin family to lobby again——Zhou Qiyan is a hypocrite because he is greedy and hypocritical.But there is only one thing, he has a perfect tongue, especially eloquent, it is very easy to fool an ignorant woman.

However, what Yuan Sima didn't expect was that Zhou Qiyan listened to his orders and rushed to the Qin family to lobby, but something happened to the government office first.

At that time, Yuan Sima was still drinking and having fun in the mansion, suddenly the servant of the mansion hurried over with a yamen servant.Although he was a little surprised when he saw the yamen servant, he still asked in a normal way: "Why did you come here, but what happened to the government office?"

The yamen servant was sweating all over his head, apparently he had rushed all the way here, so he hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeves, and replied: "My lord, hurry back to the yamen, the trusted magistrate has arrived. Summon all the adults."

When Yuan Sima heard this, his hands trembled, and the wine glass he was holding fell to the ground and broke into several petals—how is it possible? !The transfer order from the Ministry of Officials has not yet been issued to the government office. It has only been twelve days since the previous magistrate resigned. How could the new magistrate have arrived? !

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that it was impossible. Yuan Sima didn't care about his elegant demeanor, he pulled off the skirt of the yamen servant, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? The transfer order from the Ministry of Officials has not yet arrived. How can the new magistrate arrive?!"

The yamen servant was also stunned. He didn't know where Yuan Sima's anger came from, but he didn't dare to struggle, so he kept this awkward posture and said, "But, my lord, that lord is holding the official's Master Qi has already checked Ren Shu and the official seal given by the Ministry of Officials, and said it is true. We have also seen the official seal, and it is all true."

After he finished speaking, Yuan Sima let go of his hand, so he urged carefully: "Master Zhifu summoned all the adults, Mr. Yuan, you should change into your official uniform and go over there."

Yuan Sima closed his eyes, waved his hands and left, but his heart was full of desolation—he thought that he could cover the sky with one hand, but in fact it was just a right stolen from others. Everything he did would come in vain, and he offended the Wen family for no reason...

No, no, you can't give up now, if you give up now, his life will be over, and Taifu Feng may not protect him without merit!He wants to go to Chen Jufa and ask him to make the Zuifenglou gang confess as soon as possible, and the case must be settled before the new magistrate intervenes!
