While she was saying these words, Wen Qingzhu kept looking into her eyes.
Basically, it can be judged that this Shen Jiao did not lie.
It's just that Shen Jiao didn't need to tell her this news, she already knew it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wen Qingzhu still didn't get the result. Xi'er knocked on the door outside, saying that it was Mr. Hu who wanted to see him.
Wen Qingzhu stood up and said to Lu Tao, "Take good care of Miss Shen. I'll be right back."
After going out, Wen Qingzhu met Hu Yingzhuo in the yard.
Compared with Hu Yinghao, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, the middle-aged man in front of him is more in line with the official style of Da Qi court.
He was still wearing court clothes, and he stepped forward and bowed directly: "I have seen Madam, please punish me with all your strength!"
Immediately afterwards, Hu Yingzhuo knelt down.
Wen Qingzhu was a little confused: "Punishment for what?"
Hu Yingzhuo, who was kneeling, straightened up and did not reply: "Hu Jian is my cousin."
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows very high now: "The person I arrested just now was your cousin?"
"Exactly." Hu Yingzhuo's face was also burning.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and waved his hand: "You should get up first. What's going on? Let's see what the people from the Shenxing Department ask."
Hu Yingzhuo was immediately shocked and thought, isn't this Dali Temple
But when he thought of Wen Qingzhu's identity, it became clear to him.
It was a troubled time now. Hu Jian was causing trouble at this juncture, and he happened to be caught by Wen Qingzhu. As expected, he was as unlucky as his other unlucky brother.
After Hu Yingzhuo got up, he did not leave.
Wen Qingzhu didn't say much and just sat down at the table in the yard.
He even politely asked Hu Yingzhuo to sit down, but he kept refusing and refused to sit down.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Hei Jiren arrived here in person.
When I saw Hu Yingzhuo here, I was a little surprised.
However, he still said hello respectfully, and then told the news about Hu Jian: "Hu Jian is Hu Yingzhuo's cousin. According to the situation, Hu Jian's family has separated, but Aunt Xu who gave birth to Hu Jian is still there. , a concubine who has a very good relationship with Aunt Xu and Mrs. Hu’s wife, that’s why Mr. Hu Yingzhuo came here.”
"What about the other side of things?" Wen Qingzhu understood the twists and turns here and suddenly felt that Hu Yingzhuo was very pitiful.
There is a brother who is troubled, and a cousin who is even more troubled.
"On other matters, Wei Chen thinks it would be better for Mr. Hu to get out of the way." Hei Jiren pointed out.
Hu Yingzhuo knelt down again: "Madam! Master Hei! There is absolutely nothing wrong with Hu Jian! He, he is just a little greedy for money, and he will never dare to do anything else!"
After careful consideration, Wen Qingzhu asked Hu Yingzhuo to step aside.
Although he wanted to say something else, he backed down after seeing the look in Hei Jiren's eyes.
When there were no others around, Hei Jiren said: "Hu Jian is currently doing business in his hometown in Gusu. Under the care of the two brothers Hu Yingzhuo, he is still living a very leisurely life. This time he came to Beijing because of the business relationship between Kangcheng and Luocheng. He came here because he didn't want to miss the business opportunity, but along the way, he met several capable businessmen. According to Wei Chen's inference, among them, Boss Tu and Boss Wen are the most noteworthy."
"Have you found out the whereabouts of these two bosses?" Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Hu Jian had been tricked again.
How could it be such a coincidence that it was Hu Jian
"Not yet, but Weichen will investigate carefully. The two bosses have already gone to Beijing."
After Hei Jiren finished speaking, he asked: "Hu Jian is fine at the moment. How do you want to deal with it, madam?"
Wen Qingzhu glanced inside the room and thought about what happened during the day.
Shen Jiao's carriage is a very common carriage style in the capital city.
Before going to Fu's house, one of the carriages that seemed to rub against each other was the same as Shen Jiao's carriage.
Wen Qingzhu had an idea in his mind: "Let Hu Jian go, and those around him stay for questioning. Tell all of Hu Jian's itinerary from the first day of the new year to the present. If there is anything wrong, then investigate the people around this person." relation."
"Wei Chen understands." Hei Jiren turned around and retreated.
Wen Qingzhu got up and went into the room, and Shen Jiao stood up immediately.
"How many days have you been in the capital?"
"Two days."
"Is this the first time today that someone hit your carriage?"
"yes."
Wen Qingzhu turned around and gave Lu Tao two instructions in a low voice, and Lu Tao took the order and left.
After a while, Hu Yingzhuo led Hu Jian in to apologize.
Hu Jian, who was arrogant and disdainful just now, is now as listless as a dead eggplant, with dead skin on his lips, as if he has shed a layer of his human shape.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Madam. I will definitely go back and discipline you strictly so that Madam won't worry!"
Hu Yingzhuo said this, but Hu Jian stayed motionless.
Seeing Hu Jian like this, he quickly pushed Hu Jian.
After realizing this, Hu Jian was so frightened that he burst into tears and hurriedly hid in Hu Yingzhuo's arms: "Brother, save me!"
Wen Qingzhu was still calm, but Shen Jiao opened her eyes wide. Is Hu Jian still looking like this
Hu Yingzhuo felt that all his face had been lost, and he choked in his throat. He ignored Hu Jian and asked Wen Qingzhu: "Is there anything else, madam?"
"No, Mr. Hu is also a businessman. It has nothing to do with him now. If he wants to do business, Mr. Hu doesn't have to restrain him." Wen Qingzhu said with a smile.
But Hu Yingzhuo refused: "Madam, it is clear that my cousin has some abilities and will be demoted. From today on, he will definitely be locked up at home to prevent him from causing trouble to Madam."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and let them go down.
Watching them leave, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh, it would be much easier to have a smart brother protecting him.
As soon as they left, after sitting there for a while, Lu Tao hurried back and took out a booklet.
At a quick glance, since yesterday, there have been more than 30 incidents of carriage friction in the capital.
According to the testimony of the people present, the styles of most of the carriages were actually the same as Shen Jiao's carriage.
So, those people came for Shen Jiao.
Returning the booklet to Lu Tao, Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Shen Jiao: "Do you know who wants to arrest you?"
"It's my cousin." Shen Jiao looked extremely serious.
Since someone was staring at Shen Jiao, it was Jiang Yuancheng and Jing Yinuo.
Wen Qingzhu thought about it and finally sent Shen Jiao to the Lei family.
Shen Jiao did not shirk, she just said that she needed to get news from Luo Cheng and Kangcheng.
The siblings have a good secret code they agreed on.
Wen Qingzhu did not ask further questions and nodded in acquiescence.
Returning to the Hou Mansion, Fu Lie and Jiang Yuanhan came face to face.
After going to the room and sitting down, the two of them spoke almost at the same time and gave in at the same time.
Wen Qingzhu felt so funny that he finally told what happened today.
What Fu Lie thought was that Yuan Chang seemed to be the main force of King Ning. In this case, things would not be so troublesome.
What Jiang Yuanhan was thinking was that if Shen Jiao appeared in the Shen family, there were only two possibilities, either an enemy or a friend.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes swept between them, and he broke the silence with a smile: "Now what do you think we should do next?"
"Catch Yuan Chang!"
"Let Shen Jiao go!"
The two people spoke at the same time, and then looked at each other.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head helplessly: "Then you should each be responsible for your own affairs. It's just that Yuan Chang can't catch every excuse. After all, he is still under Jiang Yijia, although now Concubine Li has borrowed Jiang Yijia's name to act."
She looked at Jiang Yuanhan again: "As for Shen Jiao, I know you want to use her to attract Jiang Yuancheng's attention. I don't think you can take such a risk as a guest. It is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend. Danger and opportunity always complement each other."
"What do you think, sister?" Compared to Jiang Yuanan, Jiang Yuanhan is more worried about Jiang Yuancheng now.
Fu Lie is different. Anyone who holds military power is always a natural threat.
However, he could understand Wen Qingzhu's meaning with a little more practice.
It's hard to find the reason, but now Yuan Chang is much more low-key than before.
Wen Qingzhu was also thinking deeply. Shen Jiao was difficult to deal with. It was precisely because he was worried that something would go wrong that he asked her to stay at Lei's house.
"Put Shen Jiao's matter aside and deal with Prince Ning's matter first." Wen Qingzhu made a decision and turned to look at Jiang Yuanhan, "The emperor's edict has not been issued. It must be because of Jiang Yijia's marriage. Now you have the final say in the capital. Why don't you Propose it directly and help them get married!"
"This... Prince Ning won't stop it?" It's not that Jiang Yuanhan hasn't thought about it, but if he is so anxious, he will jump over the wall -
etc! My sister just wants him to jump over the wall.
Jiang Yuanhan nodded: "Then I understand. I will make a plan today."
Fu Lie suddenly asked: "How much did Yuan Chang listen to Jiang Yijia?"
This question asked Wen Qingzhu, once Jiang Yijia's marriage was made public.
What Yuan Chang's attitude will become is unknown.
After all, it was Jiang Yijia who used herself as a bargaining chip to manipulate him. Now that she is going to marry Fu Yu, she will definitely end things with Yuan Chang.
The three of them were silent when Jasmine hurried in from outside.
They told news about two people, one was that Concubine Wei suddenly fainted, and the other was that Jiang Yijia secretly went to see Yuan Chang.
Wen Qingzhu wanted to go to the palace, but Jiang Yuanhan stopped her: "Now the palace is basically under my control, and there will be no big problems for the mother and concubine. You and... Fu Hou go to see Yuan Chang's situation first."
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and nodded, and the two groups immediately split up.
According to the news brought by Jasmine, Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie came to a private courtyard in Baiwei Building.
As soon as he got closer, Wen Qingzhu found someone else staring at the yard.
It was none other than Yuan Chang’s wife.
She was standing on the second floor next door. There was a protruding terrace that could not be seen from the yard where Jiang Yijia was.
But Mrs. Yuan can see this very well.
What surprised Wen Qingzhu was that there was a familiar person next to Mrs. Yuan.
"Why is Xia Feiyuan here?" Wen Qingzhu couldn't help asking Fu Lie in a low voice.
Fu Lie was silent for a while and then sent Yang Jiu to investigate.
Looking at the private courtyard here, Jiang Yijia was still walking uneasily in the corridor.
Yuan Chang hasn't come yet.
Fu Lie took Wen Qingzhu to Mrs. Yuan's side.
On the terrace, Mrs. Yuan gritted her teeth and stared at Jiang Yijia, her eyes burning.
Xia Feiyuan was very low-key at this moment, wearing ordinary women's clothes, with wooden hairpins on her hair, and her makeup could be done in an old-fashioned way.
The whole person looks more like the mother next to Mrs. Yuan.
But Wen Qingzhu will never forget her shrewd eyes.
Xia Feiyuan inexplicably felt that the wind was a bit cold tonight. She held the handkerchief and walked to Mrs. Yuan, whispering to persuade: "Madam, since you already know, why come again! Anyway, I'm catching up with a princess, General Yuan If your position becomes more stable, your position will also become more stable, right?"
"But despite all my calculations, I didn't realize that Yuan Chang's wife turned out to be Jiang Yijia!" Mrs. Yuan was obviously furious and cursed bitterly, "How shameless! How dare you dominate Fu Yu's marriage! It’s so shameful!”
These words frightened Xia Feiyuan so much that she quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth. She looked around and said, "My madam! Please keep your voice down! I always feel like someone is staring at us!"
"Who dares to stare at us!" Mrs. Yuan pushed Xia Feiyuan away impatiently.
Seeing her like this, Xia Feiyuan was very helpless, but he still tried to persuade her: "Now you see, General Yuan's sweetheart is a princess. Let's do more than do less. Let's go."
