Chapter 94 Rumors
Xie Fengyue's kneeling posture remained unchanged, and her long curtain hat fell to the ground, looking particularly ethereal and quiet.
"I want to make a deal with Mr. Lang."
Lian Jun did not sit at the main seat, but knelt down beside the tables opposite her. He looked up at her and asked with interest: "I have never met the girl, and didn't the girl hear those rumors yesterday?" , How dare you trade with me? Aren’t you afraid that I might take advantage of you and imprison the girl in my house?”
Xie Fengyue raised the corner of her mouth: "Yesterday I heard some gossip, but it was never true. However, I heard something strange from it. I will talk about it now and see how much of it I can guess is true. It’s fake.”
"Young lady, it's okay to say it." Lian Jun became more interested.
"It is rumored that Lang Jun robbed a commoner woman and returned to his home, but I think there is a problem with the first point."
"Huh? Why don't you tell me, girl? It sounds interesting to me."
Xie Fengyue smoothed her hat before continuing: "I hope Lian Xiaolangjun will forgive me if my guess is biased."
If the woman was unwilling and had to be kidnapped, the husband would not take her back to the house but find a small courtyard to sharpen her strength. If she was a chaste person, she would have committed suicide long ago. Where would she be able to wait for her fiancée? Come to her rescue.
Therefore, the woman voluntarily followed the husband. Since she voluntarily followed the husband, the rumors that followed would naturally be endless. How could a person who covets glory be killed by the husband for resisting? On the contrary, it was the fiancé who really received a good beating.
Lian Jun nodded frequently as he listened, but when he came to the last sentence, he suddenly became angry: "Is this the rumor outside? Why should I kill that woman? She just blocked the whip for her fiancé. , it just looks a bit cruel, why do you call it killing?
Moreover, her fiancé broke into my house in vain and only received a knife. If I hadn't had a lot of people, I could have killed him just by this.
Xie Fengyue also asked: "If no one died, why would General Dinghai rush back?"
When Lian Jun heard his father's name, he became confused: "Wan Niang's fiancé is a student of Qingshan Academy. He didn't go to the Yamen to sue me. Instead, he gathered at the gate of Liuheju early the next morning. A bunch of students from poor families used their power to rob people and said that my father’s body was in a state of insignificance.”
So Xie Fengyue heard another person's version of the story.
Lian Jun said with an aggrieved look: "Originally Wan Niang was a little reluctant to get close to me when she first entered the house. I thought she was still young, so I used money to call her parents to comfort her a few times, and she grew old. Just stay in my yard.
Besides, I'm not the kind of fool who insists on forcing me to eat fruits. I saw that she was very delicate and her family was poor, so she was willing to do so, so I became happy with her. Besides, her parents didn't say anything at first. She also has an unmarried marriage. ”
Xie Fengyue looked at this aggrieved bastard and actually believed it in her heart. If her previous guess was true, it could only mean that he used his glory and wealth to deceive the girl. But when he said it like that, it seemed like there was more. Share conscience.
"What kind of young lady would I want if I'm so handsome and charming? Why would I want to rob a common girl by force?" The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he became.
"Father lied to me again. He said that he would let me hide in the house and wait until the news passed. But the news was like this outside. He was still busy. There is nothing worse than his only son being reported so quickly. He has become a maniac who bullies men and dominates women.”
Xie Fengyue couldn't bear to look at him anymore. She didn't know where he took out the handkerchief, but he was wiping his tears pitifully.
Lian Jun still kept wiping his tears and asked as if he suddenly remembered the important point: "What is the deal you are talking about."
Xie Fengyue.
With his cute look, who is the girl?
"I will solve this matter for Mr. Lang, and Mr. Lang will find someone for me." After that, she took out the portrait she had prepared long ago, which was the portrait of her father Xie Rong. Taking the portrait from the servant, Lian Jun opened it with sobs, looked at it carefully for a while and asked: "Is this the person who was sent to Lingnan?"
Xie Fengyue didn't know what he meant, so she kept an eye on him: "It's my distant uncle. He traveled a lot and there has been no news since then."
Lian Jun didn't care who this person was, he replied: "Anyway, it's up to you. If you solve this problem with me, I will send more people to look for it. If it is not solved, I will send less people to control this matter." I feel wronged, but actually it doesn’t matter if I think about it.”
Xie Fengyue.
Although he said this, he still hugged Lou's clothes and asked: "How does the girl want to solve it?"
Xie Fengyue stood up and patted the folds on her body: "Just leave this matter to me, Mr. Lian, and please send me a few people who know where Wan Niang lives."
Lian Jun stopped wiping his face: "Don't, I mean you have to go and check it out yourself. You are the daughter of the Xie family. If something happens in my father's jurisdiction, my skin will be peeled off. Let's forget about it." , I’d better find someone for you, just go back and rest.”
How could Xie Fengyue agree? Even if she found her father now, she wouldn't be able to take him away by herself.
It would be better for Lian Jun to owe her a favor for this, so that her father could live peacefully in Lingnan with the title of "the person cared for by General Lian's only son" until she came to pick him up with his official title.
"I won't be involved in danger, but I'm just asking some small questions, so that Mr. Lian can feel at ease." Xie Fengyue replied.
He looked suspicious: "Is the girl telling the truth?"
"Hmm"
As soon as Xie Fengyue left West Street, she returned to the inn.
On the other side, Li Xiaobao took the servants from Lian's family and went straight to Wanniang's house in Qingshui Lane. When they went there, the door of the dilapidated courtyard was closed. Li Xiaobao calmly knocked on the door several times, but no one came to answer, so he just opened the door. Remove it.
Once the courtyard door is opened, the entire courtyard is visible. There are only two mud-tiled houses.
He got into the house immediately, and after several searches, he pulled out a trembling old woman from under the bed board in the back room.
He tried to keep his expression gentle: "Where is Wan Niang's body~"
When the old woman heard this, she felt sad and scared. Her rickety body was shaking like chaff in a sieve. She made quick gestures with her hands. After finishing the gesture, she would kneel down and kowtow.
Li Xiaobao was stupid. He didn't tell him before coming that Wan Niang's mother was mute.
Xie Fengyue was not idle at the inn. She sat in the lobby and ordered a cup of tea. She listened to the chats of the people around her without drinking. If news spreads the fastest, it must be tea in the tavern. It's crazy, there's a mixed crowd inside, and everyone has a lot of news to tell.
The city is not big, so Wan Niang’s fiancé chose a place like Liuheju where only rich and powerful people go to cause trouble
Then the news will definitely be spread in these places where ordinary people gather. After all, if the stage is set up and there is no audience under the stage, how can the play be sung?
