Qin Wan hurriedly asked, "Master Ning? What's the matter?"
Meng Yao thought about it for a moment, "Didn't our family have to paint during the Chinese New Year? Before that, everyone in Ning was already acquainted with the second uncle, and everyone in Ning went to Fengqi Tower with the second uncle. I heard about it from the second uncle. The boy mentioned it once, and at that time he looked down on everyone Ning, but thinking that he is a businessman, and my second uncle is good at that, so I didn't think much about it."
Qin Wan then asked, "Then what is the business relationship between the second master and Mr. Ning?"
Meng Yao shook her head, "There shouldn't be that. Ning and everyone don't get involved in other things. From this point of view, he is very focused on painting. It's just that I was a little surprised when I found out that I went to Fengyue Land with my second uncle. After all, Ning and everyone on the surface Looking at it from the outside, it doesn't look like a person who spends time in the land of wind and moon—"
Qin Wan frowned tightly, and his clear eyes revealed a bit of deep thought.
Soon, Qin Wan got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Anyang Houfu."
Meng Yao was slightly surprised, "What's the matter? What are you going to do in the Hou Mansion?"
Qin Wan took Meng Yao's hand, "Go to find Yue Ning, I have something to do with her, I can't entertain you, so I will take you with me."
Meng Yao didn't know why, but there must be a reason for Qin Wan's move. Meng Yao smiled helplessly, but she didn't object. She also didn't see Yue Ning for a few days, and the three of them gathered together, but it was more fun.
Qin Shuang got married, and now the Zhongyong Hou Mansion is only preparing for the wedding of Qin Chaoyu and the crown prince next month. Qin Wan comes in and out, and there is less control. She takes Meng Yao out, gets into the carriage and goes straight to Anyang Hou Mansion.
Yue Ning was performing martial arts, but she didn't expect Qin Wan to come suddenly, so she came out to greet her in person, and when she saw Meng Yao also came, she took the two of them to see Princess Taichang, and then went to her small courtyard, Qin Wan entered the courtyard He said conveniently, "Go and invite Mr. Wei to come over, the previous matter needs to be discussed in the long run—"
Yue Ning nodded, and quickly followed suit. Meng Yao looked at her like this but was a little curious, "Why did you call Mr. Wei over?"
Qin Wan blinked, "It's a big event, you'll know it later."
Wei Qizhi came very quickly and entered the Hou's Mansion. Several people talked for a while in Yue Ning's small courtyard. After a while, Wei Qizhi left the Hou's Mansion and went straight out of the city.
Qin Wan stayed in the Anyang Hou's Mansion until the afternoon, feeling a little uneasy again, left the Hou's Mansion and went to the Yamen.
In the yamen, Ning Buyi had already been picked up by his people. Zhan Yang and Zheng Baishi had been interrogating Wu Yu for a long time, and they were exhausted by now. When they saw Qin Wan coming, they lost all strength to greet him, but they didn't ask anything. .
Qin Wan went to the cell specifically, and saw several whip marks on Wu Yu's body, which were stained with blood, but Wu Yu still did not confess, so Qin Wan said to Zhan Yang, "It's better to arrest Zhan than to interrogate the third son of the Wu family. Check out the two houses of the third son carefully, I guess there must be a reason for it."
Zhan Yang raised his eyebrows, "Is it related to the case?"
Qin Wan nodded, then shook his head again, "I'm not sure, but if he doesn't say anything, it's hard to avoid the pretext of torture."
Zhan Yang felt that the interrogation had reached a stalemate, Qin Wan's words pointed out a clear way, Zhan Yang quickly agreed, Qin Wan looked at Wu Yu lying in the cell again, turned and left the yamen.
After leaving the Yamen, Qin Wan took Bai Ying straight to the house in Tongqian Lane to the west.
Qin Wan has been coming for many days, and Han Bo and Er Bao were very happy when they came today. Qin Wan saw that although he hadn't come for many days, the inside and outside of the house was still neat and elegant, so he knew that Han Bo had put a lot of thought into it, so he gave it again. Han Bo and Er Bao rewarded them a lot.
"I came today to wait for a friend who will come when it gets dark."
After hearing what Qin Wan meant, Han Bo hurriedly dragged Erbao to Kuayuan after tea time, not daring to disturb Qin Wan.
Qin Wan and Bai Ying stayed here until it was dark. Seeing that the sky was completely dark, but there was still no movement outside the courtyard gate, Bai Ying asked worriedly, "Miss, will Mr. Wei not be able to invite someone?"
Qin Wan shook her head, "Don't underestimate him, I think he can be invited."
As Qin Wan spoke, she walked to the window and looked up at the sky outside. There is no moon tonight, but there are bright stars in the sky. Qin Wan stared at it for a moment, but she was thinking about the case in her mind. Bai Ying said aside, " Miss is thinking about how to find other evidence?"
Qin Wan shook her head, "I'm thinking about his motives, why he wants to set up this dojo."
Bai Ying frowned, but Qin Wan couldn't figure it out. How could Bai Ying know the answer? Seeing Qin Wan's pensive expression, Bai Ying didn't dare to disturb her. After half an hour like this, the courtyard door was finally knocked ring.
The expressions of the master and servant changed slightly, Qin Wan walked towards the door first, and when the courtyard door opened, Wei Qizhi smiled outside and said, "I've been waiting for a long time..."
Qin Wan nodded, and turned to look at the person standing beside Wei Qizhi.
…
…
When Qin Wan and Wei Qizhi left the courtyard, Wei Qizhi said, "Master Ning is seriously injured. I went to see it today. The third young master asked him to deliver the paintings that day. The Princess and I just came out of the palace and heard."
Qin Wan nodded, "That means you two will testify for him."
Wei Qizhi said, "That's right."
Qin Wan nodded, thought for a while and said, "It's getting late today, let's go to see the painting together tomorrow, and take a look at how everyone's injuries are doing along the way."
Wei Qizhi agreed, and just now parted ways with Qin Wan.
Watching Wei Qizhi leave, Qin Wan turned around and got into the carriage, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion, Qin Wan washed and rested immediately, Fu Ling and Bai Ying turned off the lights in the inner room and went out. Not long after they left, Qin Wan's rear window The window lattice slammed twice more.
Qin Wan was shocked, got up, put on his shoes, and headed towards the back window. When the window lattice opened, Yan Chi was standing outside.
Yan Chi leaned on the window and entered, seeing that Qin Wan was not wearing a robe, he pulled her to the side of the bed, "Just now I went to find Mr Zheng, he said that you had been to the yamen during the day, and then left."
Pulling Qin Wan to sit down, Qin Wan said, "I'm going. I knew Wu Yu didn't confess, so I left."
Yan Chi said, "I'm here to tell you about Wu Yu."
Qin Wan immediately looked at Yan Chi intently, Yan Chi smiled warmly, held Qin Wan's hand and said, "Weiyuanbo Mansion started a few years ago, and Wu Yu was in charge of general affairs alone. The brothers are full of bad habits. If it weren't for Wu Yu, Uncle Weiyuan's mansion would have been ruined long ago. Even so, old Uncle Weiyuan had agreed early on that when he passed away, the public property would be divided among the other three. He is a son, and Wu Yu is given an errand in the yamen. On the surface, Wu Yu is very obedient, but in private, he has been swallowing up the property of Wei Yuanbo's mansion, ranging from the farm to the small shop. Transferred a small half of Weiyuanbo Mansion's property into his own hands."
Qin Wan's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard that, "That's why he has that separate house? When we asked about that house, Wu Yu's words flickered in secret. Could it be because of this?"
Yan Chi nodded, "Very likely."
Qin Wan thought for a moment, "That's right, if Wu Yu is accumulating money like this, why would he set up this dojo? After all, there is a slight difference, and all these things he finally got will be in vain. It is absolutely impossible for a person with such a heart to have such a frenzied idea all of a sudden."
Yan Chi's face was full of agreement, "So what do you want me to do?"
Qin Wan hesitated for a while, "I don't need it for now, do you have time in the future?"
Yan Chi stopped Qin Wan's shoulder and said, "As long as you need it, there will be it."
Qin Wan felt a little hot in his heart, and immediately said, "Okay, then I have my own plan."
The words fell, but there was a rustling sound outside, Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly sat up straight from Yan Chi's arms, "It's Fu Ling, you go, you go—"
Yan Chi was very helpless, he only came here for a while!
However, the footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, so Yan Chi had no choice but to get up and go to the back window. Qin Wan followed him, watched him go out of the window, and waved his hand to urge him to leave quickly. Yan Chi had no choice but to miss him dignifiedly. The son of the prince, now he is familiar with the business of going through windows and doors. Seeing that Qin Wan was in a hurry, he obviously didn't want his personal maid to find out the love between the two of them. Yan Chi frowned. Although he was dissatisfied, he was still very fast left.
Qin Wan hurriedly closed the rear window, just as the window was closed, Fu Ling came in sleepily holding a lamp.
"Miss, why are you closing the window?"
Qin Wan said calmly, "I couldn't sleep, I blew a little cool breeze, and I'm a little sleepy now."
Fu Ling felt rather distressed, "Miss, you must have been thinking too much about the case. It's so late, is it too hot in the room? But the heat is not severe right now, so Miss shouldn't feel very hot."
Qin Wan was afraid that Fu Ling would be worried, so she hurriedly lay down obediently, and after a while of persuasion, she let Fu Ling go back to rest. After hiding it for so long, now tell Fu Ling that she will be angry, what should I do
Qin Wan fell into a deep sleep while thinking, and soon fell asleep.
On the second day, Qin Wan went to Anyang Marquis Mansion again, and not long after, Wei Qizhi also arrived at Marquis Mansion, so the three of them went to the Yanmo Painting Gallery. The young man invited the three of them into the backyard and said, "Our young master is not in good health, but now that he has suffered this crime, he can't even get off the ground while lying on the bed."
Qin Wan frowned, "Is your health bad?"
The young man's expression changed slightly, as if he had said something that shouldn't be said, and then he smiled wryly, "Our young master has been ill before, but he hasn't recovered since then, and he still has to take medicine from time to time."
Qin Wan and Yue Ning looked at each other, but they didn't know this.
And Qin Wan remembered that he asked Ning Buyi for his pulse the night before, and he didn't seem to find any very weird pulse. He lost a lot of blood and was very weak, but he didn't hurt his vitals. Could it be that she was wrong? Or maybe his weak pulse was not all caused by excessive blood loss
The servant said again, "The young master has not seen any guests for the past two days, but the two princesses and young master Wei have come, but it is not easy for the young master to see you. It's just that the young master is sick in bed, I'm afraid I will be rude."
Wei Qizhi hurriedly said, "We are here to visit him, so why not be rude?"
While talking, the three of them entered the backyard and soon arrived at the door of the main house.
The servant knocked on the door, "My lord, the two princesses and Mr. Wei are here."
"Ask them to come in—"
Ning Buyi's weak voice came out of the room, the servant opened the door and invited the three of them in.
As soon as he entered the door, there was a smell of bitter medicine in the room. Qin Wan breathed slightly, and immediately recognized that the prescription was for Ning Bui's chest injury. The three of them entered the room and turned left, and saw the half-closed medicine at a glance. Ning Yi on the bedside.
Seeing Ning Buyi's face, Qin Wan was slightly startled. Ning Buyi had just lost too much blood, and she should have gotten better after a day of raising her. sign of serious illness.
"Brother Ning, we came to visit you, how is your injury?"
Wei Qi stepped forward, Ning Buyi said hoarsely, "I'm really sorry, I can't salute—"
Wei Qizhi hurriedly said, "Don't use those empty etiquettes, we are not outsiders."
Ning Buyi smiled gratefully, "The injury has been stabilized, please take care of Brother Wei and the two princesses, and even travel so far this way, it's a pity that I'm like this, I'm afraid I won't be entertained well."
Qin Wan stepped forward, "Is your injury really stable? I see that your face is strangely pale. Why?"
Ning Buyi gave a wry smile, his black hair was scattered on his shoulders today, and fell down from his cheeks again and again, making his complexion even more different, "The injury has really stabilized, as for my complexion...it's because of some old illnesses."
Qin Wan couldn't help frowning, and Yue Ning also frowned slightly. Before seeing Ning Buyi, his complexion was like jade, but he would paint himself. She and Qin Wan didn't know each other before, but now they kind of understand that Ning Buyi is so obvious. In order to cover up the sickness.
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Everyone Ning has an old illness? Do you want me to help?"
Ning Buyi shook his head, "It's not a problem for a little old illness, don't bother the princess." He said, "I was injured, the princess still has a painting but I can't ask for it, I sent Someone talked to the old gentleman, and the old gentleman told someone to bring it over tomorrow, and the county chief has waited an extra day."
Painting is of course unimportant, but Ningyi changed the subject so quickly, obviously not wanting her to ask about her condition.
She has the name of Little Doctor Immortal. I don't know how many people in the capital want her to help with medical treatment, but they would rather not go. His complexion is strangely pale. If it is really all right, how could he be so complexion, unless...
Unless his illness is incurable.
Qin Wan was still thinking about Ning Buyi's pulse. If she was really on the verge of dying, or had some terminal illness, she wouldn't fail to see it. Then what's the matter with his look
Qin Wan had a lot of doubts in his heart, but Ning Buyi coughed lightly. Seeing his uncomfortable appearance, Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Everyone, Ning, should take good care of your wounds, and I'm not in a hurry with my painting."
Ning Buyi coughed a few times and asked again, "I don't know Mr. Wu San..."
Qin Wan sighed when he heard this, "He was caught right away. This time, he is a death sentence. The yamen has been investigating and interrogating him for the past two days. I believe this case will be closed soon."
Ning Buyi sighed, "I really didn't expect it to be like this."
Qin Wan also sighed slightly, "Yeah, who would have thought that he has harmed so many people, and now he is caught to blame, and it is just because the law enforcement has not missed it."
While Ning Buyi was recuperating, the three of them said goodbye to him and walked out the door. Yue Ning said, "The murderer is really the third son of the Wu family? Is this case really going to be closed?"
Qin Wan made a silent gesture, and led Yue Ning and the two out quickly.
