Chapter 161 That fire... came out of nowhere
When He Xuran walked out of Wei's house, his whole face was dark.
Who are they?
It feels like no one is normal except Yu Tingwan!
No, Yu Tingwan is not normal either.
Seeing that Wei Zhaozhen was having trouble breathing and the veins on his hands were bulging, and he was really about to choke, Yu Tingwan rushed them out of the door.
The reason is simple.
Said He Xuran scared her husband.
He Xuran:...
Why are you so embarrassed to tell lies?
Don’t you know what kind of virtue your man is?
He clearly strangled himself!
Can’t solve it yet!
It’s really useless!
The useless Wei Zhao has no love in his life at this moment.
Because he was tied into a knot.
Yu Tingwan was in a hurry and couldn't cut it. There was no one in the house and she didn't care anymore, so she just found scissors.
The hem of my clothes was pulled.
Yu Tingwan reassured: "Wait, it will be fine soon."
I was pulled again.
Wei Zhao: "I..."
His voice was soft and inaudible.
"I never thought..."
"...someday."
"It would be...so..."
He gasped.
Yu Tingwan was afraid of hurting him, so she moved very carefully.
Soon, the gauze was cut into pieces.
"Throw... the person appears."
Wei Zhao's pale and broken face was revealed. Xu was really suffocated and in pain, and the ends of his eyes were stained with moist crimson.
He had to say one sentence several times before struggling to finish it.
Yu Tingwan knelt down in front of the bed and lowered her head guiltily.
She is a typical person who takes soft things rather than hard things.
If Wei Zhao blamed her for having bad ideas, she would blame Wei Zhao for being mean.
But Wei Zhao didn’t.
His posture was still so weak and delicate.
Yu Tingwan: "It's my fault."
She knows who Wei Zhao is!
Why didn’t you expect him to pull the gauze!
She! Reflect!
"Husband, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"Can I ask Dr. Ge to come over and take a look?"
Wei Zhao was gently stroked on the back by the girl, and was given some water to relax for a moment. , the situation has improved a lot.
He was half leaning back, his eyelids drooping.
"I won't let it go..."
Yu Tingwan:? ? ?
The girl frowned and her heart ached.
It’s not her, right?
Wei Zhao glanced at the instigator.
Forget it, my wife is reluctant to part with it.
Wei Zhao thought for a while: "It's He Xuran's."
If he didn't come over, there wouldn't be so much to do.
Why is there no Yang Weiwen.
Because people are already miserable enough.
“That’s how it should be.”
Yu Tingwan pursed her lips: "He has been extremely abnormal since he came here."
It gave Yu Tingwan the illusion that He Xuran cared about her origins and her parents.
But Yang Weiwen came to disrupt the situation.
Speaking sincerely.
The girl was successfully led astray by her.
Too.
My parents are just ordinary people, how could they possibly know a noble person who went to Beijing.
"Then Mr. He has never met any girl, so logically he doesn't like me."
Yu Tingwan had a headache because of this and patted Wei Zhao.
“But your wife is too popular.”
However, she promised.
“Don’t worry, I don’t care whether others are good or bad.”
The girl did not forget to show her loyalty by showing her favor.
"My heart and eyes are filled with only your husband."
Wei Zhao seemed to have only heard the last sentence, and he asked in a low voice: "Only me?"
Yu Tingwan: "Of course!"
The man's eyes were dark.
He wanted to say it.
——Yu Tingwan.
——Next time you say something like this, look me in the eyes.
But no.
Wei Zhaoyouyou: "Yes."
"After all, I almost died for you once."
Yu Tingwan:...
Suffocated to death?
It was as if he had gone through the mountains of swords and the sea of fire for her. OK OK.
Wei Zhao also followed her and started talking nonsense.
Soon, Yu Tingwan couldn’t help but feel anxious again.
"Then what if He Xuran comes again?"
Qing Ya is not easy to keep track of because of his appearance.
They were unprepared for what happened today.
Wei Zhao: "No."
He smiled without rising in his voice: "He Xuran will be very busy."
————
Inn.
As soon as He Xuran returned, he called his cronies.
"Go and check the Wei family."
The cronies are confused.
Didn’t you just go see Wei Shen? Why turn around to check him?
He Xuran emphasized: “Focus on the investigation of Wei’s wife and her parents.”
"Any information you can find, please give it to me as soon as possible."
The confidant: "Yes."
The confidant did not take this order seriously.
After all, ordinary people are easy to check.
An hour later.
He approached He Xuran.
He Xuran made tea: "Let's talk about it."
Confidant: "The Wei family is from Xilin Village, and Wei Shen, the son of the Wei family, is the heir of the second house, so he was forced to replace him. My cousin is on the draft list."
He Xuran frowned: "Forced?"
The confidant was also very angry when he said this.
"Then Wei Shen is not old enough for conscription!"
He Xuran: "It is an imperial decree. You can be exempted from conscription by paying the service fee."
However, the service fee has always been high.
After all, everyone is afraid of death. If everyone escapes the conscription, the military camp will not be able to recruit people, and if there is a real war, there will be insufficient troops.
"Get some drinks to show your respect, and bribe the higher-ups to take care of it. There is no need to pay for the replacement, and the Wei family's head will be saved."
"My subordinates' investigation revealed that this phenomenon is not uncommon. I'm afraid it's not just the Four Cities."
He Xuran:? ?
Confidant: "Yes, my lord, there is another case."
He Xuran:...
He asked for it.
Something doesn't feel right.
“Let’s go back and sort it out,”
He Xuran: “What else?”
“After investigation by my subordinates, we found that the Wei family is an authentic farmer’s family. That courtyard is indeed not a coincidence, it was an arrangement made by Chi Yu before he left Beijing."
He Xuran suddenly realized.
It seems to make sense.
After all, Wei Jiajun values love.
"My subordinates also checked the relatives of the Wei family."
Well, he found the Zhao family.
"Wei Shen has a cousin named Zhao Yu. He is studying in the town."
"He was enlightened late, and his family was not flattering. He went to the master's house to offer benefits..."
"He has never been carefully cultivated in these years."
He Xuran was cold: "I appreciate the worldly wisdom. It is common for those who are high to step on those who are low. "
He Xuran has seen how hard it is to step on someone in the imperial court, let alone a small school.
"Which Master? Come back and beat me."
The confidant was in a dilemma: "It's the one named Chu."
"It's the one the Minister of Justice always praises in front of you."
The confidant said: "My subordinates stopped by to check him out."< br>
If you keep checking this, it’s amazing!
Yes!
He didn't find anything that should be checked.
There seems to be... a lot of things that shouldn't be checked.
"Sir! This master intends to betroth his daughter to his favorite disciple, and the scholar happens to be Mrs. Wei's cousin."
Whether he is a cousin or not is not important.
“The Minister of Justice also praised me.”
Confidant: "The man surnamed Chu has spared no effort to work for the scholar. Now he doesn't care much about the other students in the academy, but he is very concerned about his future son-in-law. He treated him to drinks, played things about Vanity Fair clearly, and even contacted He became the invigilator of the last Zexian imperial examination.”
Is this bribery?
He Xuran:...
"Sir, I'm sorry. You seem to have...an additional case for no apparent reason."
He Xuran feels like he Being manipulated.
He was a little tired.
“Tell me about the Yu family.”
The cronies looked into his eyes with guilt.
"The parents of the Yu family died in the fire."
"The fire... came at a strange time."
Warm reminder:
He is a very important character

The truth will come out bit by bit, right?
