The two people arrived at the pavilion in front of the maple leaf forest.
Fu Lie moved the chair for her: "Sit down."
But Wen Qingzhu didn't move, he just looked up at Fu Lie without saying a word.
After a long time, my restless heart finally calmed down.
She suddenly took two steps forward, put her arms around Fu Lie's waist, leaned her side into his arms, and asked him, "Do you think I'm too cruel?"
"You have endured too much. This is Yingge's own choice." Fu Lie raised his hand, holding Wen Qingzhu's back with one hand and gently stroking her hair with the other.
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes, and his anxious heart finally relaxed.
My heart, which had been restless for a long time, was extremely calm at this moment.
"Weizhi, I just wanted to protect the people I wanted to protect. I really didn't think of hurting others. I really didn't know that she would choose to come down and persuade Jiang Zi'ang. I thought she would assassinate me to save her life."
That's why Wen Qingzhu didn't prepare anyone to save Yingge.
Before going to Fengya Building, she calculated various possible scenarios.
Yingge's two most likely options were to stay on the carriage to show her stance and save her life, and to get off the carriage and assassinate Wen Qingzhu to show her loyalty.
But Yingge chose to get off the carriage, but instead of assassinating her to show her loyalty, she tried to persuade Jiang Ziang to let Wen Qingzhu go.
Wen Qingzhu did not expect this naive choice at all.
"I know." Fu Lie nodded.
Wen Qingzhu added: "She was still apologizing to me when she died. In fact, I had the ability to save her at that time, but I felt that her life was of no use to me."
Fu Lie held her hand tighter: "I know too."
"How do you know?" Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes.
Fu Lie let go of his hand and pointed in the direction of Ping Guohou's Mansion: "I will take you to meet someone, and you will understand."
Two quarters of an hour later, Fu Lie took her to the servants' courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
Standing at the door, a serious-looking grandma was talking inside.
In front of the nanny, stood a group of seven or eight-year-old girls.
Wearing uniform clothes, they looked at the nanny anxiously, fearing that they might have missed something.
The group of little girls were facing Wen Qingzhu sideways, and from time to time some would turn their faces slightly.
At a certain moment, Wen Qingzhu saw a familiar face.
"This is not a warbler..."
Yingge
Wen Qingzhu was very surprised that that skinny little child had the same eyes as Yingge.
Fu Lie stood beside her and explained slowly: "Her name is Aping, and she is Yingge's daughter. The reason why Yingge came to the capital is because she wanted to make more money and buy her daughter the status of a good citizen. "
"She's smarter than average."
"So she took a fancy to Jiang Zi'ang at first glance, rather than Jiang Zi'ang taking a fancy to her." Fu Lie turned his head and looked at Wen Qingzhu, whose eyes were still calm, and finally relaxed.
Wen Qingzhu didn't need to ask more about what happened next.
Since Yingge made preparations to persuade Jiang Ziang, she thought that Wen Qingzhu would definitely save her daughter.
"Then how did you discover Aping so quickly?" Wen Qingzhu was a little confused. If Yingge could make this choice, her daughter must be hiding somewhere that Jiang Ziang didn't know.
"After you left the incense shop, Aping was sent to the owner of the incense shop by Peng Dan, and Qiao Hu happened to be there too."
Wen Qingzhu was surprised: "Yingge and Qiao Hu are still related?"
"Well, Qiao Hu encountered a lot of dangers when she left the capital. It was Yingge who saved her once. It was Qiao Hu who pointed Yingge out and asked her to come to the capital."
Wen Qingzhu was silent. In this case, Yingge had actually figured out her identity early on.
After realizing it, Wen Qingzhu felt relieved.
In the end, Yingge's choice really moved her, even though Wen Qingzhu could hardly tell which part was coincidence and which part was calculation.
But Yingge has only one ultimate goal, which is to protect her daughter and give her daughter a future.
"I know." Wen Qingzhu turned to Fu Lie and asked, "Will you come with me tomorrow?"
Fu Lie shook his head: "Fengya Tower involves too many people, and I don't have time here. I will see you off on the day you leave."
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu felt a little disappointed, but it didn't show clearly on his face.
After Fu Lie sent Wen Qingzhu home, he asked Yang Dong: "Do you have a lot on your hands in Su Huo recently?"
"It's okay." Yang Dong thought about it carefully, "After Mr. Su and Miss Zhou got engaged, the emperor seemed to have handed over some cases to the Criminal Department. Mr. Su at Dali Temple seemed to have been getting off work on time."
Fu Lie nodded, and after leaving Xue Mansion, he turned around and went to Su's house.
As a result, there was no one in the Su family. Fu Lie turned around to go to Dali Temple, but Yang Dong stopped him: "Master, I think Mr. Su might be at the Zhou family."
Fu Lie was silent for a moment, then turned the horse's head and went to Zhou's house.
When I arrived, I asked and found out that Su Huo was indeed there.
Fu Lie couldn't help but glance at Yang Dong, only to see him laughing and looking silly.
After waiting in the small hall for a while, Su Huo and Zhou Yi came over.
"Master Fu." When Su Huo saw Fu Lie, he subconsciously said politely.
Fu Lie's expression remained unchanged and he stood up to greet him: "Su Huo, the emperor has given me a lot of things in the past two days, especially the case investigation. I don't know much about it. Can you come and help me then? "
As soon as these words came out, Su Huo was stunned.
Zhou Yi also opened her eyes wide. Not only was Fu Lie suddenly so kind, he actually came to beg Su Huo
"What case?" Su Huo felt that it was not an easy task for Fu Lie to ask for help, but he still subconsciously felt that there must be something he didn't know about here.
"You've heard about the Fengya Building case, right? It's poisonous in Southern Xinjiang." Fu Lie only said a few key words.
Su Huo understood immediately, nodded, and then asked: "This case is indeed very complicated, and it is also related to Miss Wen and Jiang Zi'ang."
After hearing what he said, Fu Lie became more and more determined to pass this case to Su Huo.
"I don't care about marching and setting up formations, but I'm really not good at investigating crimes. Can you come over tomorrow to help me take a look? King Chu may also come over, and I think I may not be able to deal with him."
There seems to be no flaw in these words, and they are all facts.
Moreover, Su Huo had already found the Zhou family, and he must have gone to the Su family before that.
It's night again now, and he's so anxious. Maybe there's something hidden in this case.
Su Huo actually felt that the emperor was giving him a holiday recently.
But seeing how anxious Fu Lie was, Su Huo nodded: "Okay, I'll be free tomorrow."
Fu Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much. When you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift. If you have anything, you can come to me at any time."
"You're welcome." Su Huo thought it was nothing. After all, he was just watching from the side.
Fu Lie said goodbye and insisted not to send him away in Soho.
Su Huo looked at his leaving figure and felt that something was not right.
Zhou Yi suddenly said: "It seems that Sister Wen is going to the Lei family for a banquet tomorrow."
Su Huo turned his head suddenly, his eyes focused: "He actually knows the tricks!"
Early the next morning, Fu Lie went directly to Luoying Pavilion.
When Wen Qingzhu learned about it, she was combing her hair.
But she couldn't help but get up, and ran to the door with her hair down.
At a glance, he saw Fu Lie practicing his sword.
The early morning sun was filled with mist that had not dispersed, making Fu Lie's figure look more vigorous.
When Fu Lie saw her coming out, he put away his sword and stopped.
"Qingqing, why did you come out?"
Wen Qingzhu crossed the threshold, walked out, and stood on the steps, exactly at the same height as Fu Lie.
"Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to handle the Fengya Building case? Why are you here today when you are free?"
Fu Lie said without blushing, "It's Su Huo who wants to help me. The emperor hasn't given him many cases recently and has relatively free time. Maybe he helped me for your sake."
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu had no doubts about Fu Lie's words.
But she knew very well that Su Huo was a bit cold-tempered and generally wouldn't take the initiative to do anything.
"Well, we will prepare a gift for them then." Fu Lie smiled.
Wen Qingzhu didn't doubt that he was there, so he turned around and asked Lu Tao to comb his hair quickly.
Within half an hour, Wen Qingzhu dressed up and specially picked a simple spring shirt, which matched well with Fu Lie's smart outfit.
After leaving the door, Fu Lie did not ride a horse, but took a carriage with Wen Qingzhu.
"Su Huo helped a lot. This case is very complicated. The emperor didn't let him get involved because he was worried that it would drag him down and prevent him from having time to spend time with Sister Zhou. What do you think we should give them as a thank you gift?"
Fu Lie thought seriously for a moment: "I haven't thought of it yet. Let's wait until we get back from Lei's house."
"Well, this is the same." Wen Qingzhu nodded, feeling very grateful to Su Huo.
At this moment, in the lobby of the Criminal Department.
Su Huo looked at the cases piled up on his chest in front of him, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Is this really just the Fengya Building case
At this moment, a respectful voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness, King Chu, please come inside."
Then, Jiang Yuancheng appeared at the door.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Su Huo standing where Fu Lie should be standing, and was slightly startled.
"I see His Highness the King of Chu." Su Huo immediately came out and bowed respectfully to Jiang Yuancheng.
Jiang Yuancheng quickly came to his senses and raised his hand: "You're welcome, Mr. Su."
When he said this, he looked inside the room specifically.
As a result, no trace of Fu Lie was seen here.
He couldn't help but wonder: "Master Su, didn't my father hand over this case to Mr. Fu?"
Facing Jiang Yuancheng's probing, Su Huo said without changing his expression: "I have nothing to do recently. I investigated the case of poison poisoning in southern Xinjiang before, so I came here to take a look."
Nothing to do
Jiang Yuancheng was very suspicious. He had always kept records of these high-ranking ministers.
What's more, Su Huo is a celebrity in front of the emperor.
Recently, Su Huo obviously got off work on time and went directly to Zhou's house.
He would return to Su's house very late at night, and sometimes even go directly to court with Zhou Sang from Zhou's house the next day.
Su Huo didn't know that Jiang Yuancheng was suspicious, but he couldn't reveal that he was tricked by Fu Lie.
He raised his hand and pointed at the pile of files and said: "Since His Highness the King of Chu is here, why don't we take a look at these files first. I heard that His Highness the King of Chu was also very familiar with poison."
How could Jiang Yuancheng dare to take matters involving Dao Gu poison lightly.
What's more, Jiang Zi'ang, an idiot, fell into Wen Qingzhu's trap so easily, forcing him to intervene in this matter.
"It's not familiar, but I have a certain understanding." Jiang Yuancheng clarified the relationship, but at the same time, he kept himself from the case, and he had an excellent sense of control.
