Shu Blossoms

Chapter 388 Inquiry in Xiuli Village

Early in the morning, Zheng Wei went to visit and had breakfast with his grandparents, and was dragged by the Eldest Princess to ask about yesterday's events. Zheng Wei said that she saw A Wan yesterday, but was taken away by someone who did not catch up .

After hearing this, the eldest princess asked her, "Do you have a clue?"

Zheng Wei shook her head, "It's hard to say, but I always have a feeling in my heart, I have to go out and see again, Aniang!"

"Go! For Awan's sake, but also for your own sake!" The eldest princess did not stop her, and Zheng Wei got up to go out, but the eldest princess called her again, "Wei'er, Aniang thinks you and Xiao Dalang should get married sooner." Bar!"

"Aniang, it's an extraordinary time in Beijing, and the army is also very nervous. It's not the time."

Zheng Wei knew the worry of the eldest princess, but at this moment she felt that this method was nothing more than rushing to the doctor in a hurry. If it really came to the time when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, it is not uncommon for royal princesses, empresses and concubines to be sent away.

The eldest princess sighed, "Aniang was thinking wildly. How could my daughter marry in such a wronged way. I will definitely be able to protect you!"

Zheng Wei clasped the Eldest Princess' soft and gentle hands, and said with a smile: "Aniang, I can also protect myself well."

She didn't take a carriage, and rode to Xiuli Village with the guards.

Liniang and Liao Wennan had been waiting at Xiulizhuang for a long time, and saw her busy asking about yesterday's events. After all, there was such a big movement that everyone in the capital was guessing.

Zheng Wei told about yesterday's events one by one, Liao Wennan frowned and thought, "You know so many women in Beijing, how do you find them?"

"I always feel that I should know, but I can't remember it. I feel so uncomfortable, so I came to discuss with you."

Liniang murmured: "Princess, if you want to talk about the women you are most familiar with, besides the servants in Zheng's mansion, and those children from Xiuli Village, let's check in the village first!"

As soon as Liniang's words came out, both Zheng Wei and Liao Wennan looked at her.

The three of them all knew what she meant. Most of the women in Xiuli Village came from there, and many of them didn't know their backgrounds.

Zheng Wei listened for a long time without making a sound, in fact she was also afraid of this, that's why she tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep.

She was afraid of hurting everyone's hearts, but that figure always flashed before her eyes.

Liao Wennan knew how she was feeling at this moment, if one day, Zheng Wei knew that she had other intentions in going to Xiuli Village, she would feel bad too!
Thinking about holding Zheng Wei's hand, looking at her, he said solemnly: "Go and investigate! It can be regarded as giving them a chance to prove their innocence. If this thorn is not pulled out, pus and sores will appear in the future, and the pain will be even worse. !"

"Closed today!" Zheng Wei walked outside the door, and the guards guarding all around came over.

She looked at the leader of the guards, who was with her mother the night Awan was taken away, "Xu Ruo, do me a favor!"

"The princess speaks bluntly!" Xu Ruo bowed.

"Let your people hide near Xiulizhuang, and if someone comes out, follow them, so as not to be discovered."

Zheng Wei ordered in a low voice, "As for what you have arranged, come in and interrogate a few people for me."

Liniang summoned all the people in the village to the backyard, and then they were called into the house one by one. Everyone talked about it without knowing it, and someone who was brave came over and asked Liniang, "Shopkeeper, what happened?" Son?"

Liniang's bright eyes suddenly glanced at him, the man was inexplicably guilty by her look, she couldn't help taking two steps back, begging for mercy: "Sister Li, I haven't been lazy for the past two days!"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, just go back and wait!" Liniang pushed him back neither softly nor hard, without revealing a word.

Everyone became more and more uneasy.

Zheng Wei didn't show up in the room, but told Xu Ruo what he wanted to ask, and Xu Ruo interrogated himself.

Although Xu Ruo had good facial features, his complexion was dark, and he usually looked solemn and majestic, and he was wearing a bright armor, which only generals above rank four could wear, which was very useful for bluffing people.

When the people who came in saw him leaning on a long sword, they were all silent, and some timid ones even knelt inside the house and begged for mercy.

Xu Ruo coughed heavily, and asked coldly, "What's your name? Did you leave Xiulizhuang yesterday afternoon?"

"Little one. Ge Ming, I was in the village all day yesterday, and the little one left home after closing up in Youzheng Village."

Ge Ming replied tremblingly.

"Can someone prove it?" Xu Ruosu asked in a loud voice.

"Yes, Qin Shuan is on duty with me." Ge Ming said hastily.

"Do you know who was not at Xiuli Village yesterday?"

Xu Ruo interrogated one by one, some of them were sent out after a few quick questions, some of them were asked for a long time, many private matters were revealed but had nothing to do with what Zheng Wei wanted to know.

Until Xiaoya was questioned, she said: "Sister Miaoer came to give me a candy man yesterday morning, and left without saying a few words."

Xu Ruo paused and asked, "Who is Miao'er? Did you ask her to give you the sugar man?"

"Sister Miao'er is also from the village. Sister Miao'er is the junior sister of the princess! She went out to find Senior Brother Zhao two days ago, and promised to buy me candy when she came back." The little girl held her head proudly. head.

"Then you said she left, where did she go? What did she say to you before she left?"

Xu Ruo asked again and again, Xiaoya was a little frightened, took two steps back, and looked at him with a little fear.Xu Ruo could only soothe the serious expression on his face, and comforted her slowly: "Don't worry, I'm just looking for someone under orders, so I have to ask more clearly."

"Then you're going to take us away?"

The little girl blinked her big eyes nervously.

"No." At this moment, Zheng Wei came over and hugged Xiaoya lightly, and Xiaoya jumped up happily when she saw her, "Princess!"

Zheng Wei lightly stroked the little girl's bun, and said in a low voice: "One of my elder sisters is hiding, she was hidden by someone, I want to find her, maybe someone in our village has seen her, so I Ask this adult to help me ask."

The little girl nodded, "I know, this big brother is more aggressive, so they don't dare to lie."

"Little girl is really smart," Zheng Wei pursed her lips into a smile, and then asked Xiaoya, "What did Sister Miaoer say she was going to do before she left? Who did she meet? Or what did she say, what did she do? Xiaoya, do you still remember?" ?"

The little girl thought for a while, and said crisply: "Sister Miaoer said that she hadn't seen the princess for a long time, and asked if the princess's injury is better, and has she been to the village? Then Ge Ming said that the princess came the day before yesterday, and still Dressed up as a man with Sister Liao and went out to deliver goods. Then Sister Miaoer left soon."

Zheng Wei pondered for a while, then let Xiaoya go out, she looked at Xu Ruo, "You keep asking, if you have any doubts, just stay."

Then Zheng Wei took Liniang to Miao'er's residence.

There is a row of houses in the backyard of Xiuli Village for the embroiderers from Danyang to live in. They have no place to live here. At first Yuan Wang and Liniang fell in love with this place because there was a yard behind them so they could have a place to stay. Miao Er Also live here.

"How long has Senior Brother Zhao Bei been gone?"

Zheng Wei asked Li Niang.

"It's been more than half a month. It is said that they found the clues to assassinate you in Nancheng back then, and chased them out of Beijing. There is no news these days."

Liniang frowned a little worriedly.

"What about Miao'er, what have you been up to these days? Did you come back after leaving yesterday?"
