Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 9 Mrs. Wei Family
Su Jizhi took the bag of sand and stones, still feeling unbelievable: "Are you sure this is consistent with the sand and stones left by the murderer?"

Wan Yan looked at Su Jizhi quietly, and said slowly, "Your Excellency, you can trust me, or you don't trust me."

The consonant was raised, and the ordinary words seemed coquettish, after all, she was a little girl, and she still hated his bad tone just now.

Su Ji's eyes were heavy, and Wan Yan lightly looked away.

There were footsteps outside the door, followed by the deafening cries of a woman.

Su Jizhi frowned impatiently, obviously hating such a scene: "Who is making noise in the government office?"

Su Jizhi opened the door of the inner hall, and Wan Yan looked over Su Jizhi's shoulder. Three middle-aged women in silk and satin were standing at the door pushing and shoving.

The woman in the middle of the door is more than 40 years old, and the ruby ​​hairpin is shining red from time to time under the sunlight.

The two women beside her are in their 30s, and one is a little older with a fatter figure.

The other was young, with his head down, and his arm was being pulled by a woman, with a look of reluctance.

Two yamen servants walked behind the three of them, and hurriedly explained: "Master Su, this is Vice General Wei's wife. She came from the capital and said she must see you, but the subordinates couldn't stop her."

Su Jizhi looked at the leading woman, and waved at the yamen servant.

Two yamen servants stood at the door respectfully.

Without waiting for Su Jizhi to speak, the leading woman broke into the inner hall, sat on the chair in the middle, and said to Wan Yan, "Go and pour tea."

Wan Yan: "..." didn't move.

The other two ladies stood at the door with their heads bowed, wishing they could leave now.

Su Jizhi sneered: "Excuse me, this is..."

"My master is Wei Zhengwu, the deputy general of the Weiyuan Army. I am the wife of the second rank, Mr. Su. My master had an accident in Tongshan Mansion. How is the investigation going?"

Su Jizhi lowered his brows and eyes, and the air pressure became lower.

Watching this scene, Wan Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Mrs. Wei said: "When I heard the news of Master's accident, I rushed here without stopping. Master devoted himself to the court, and now he is killed. Mr. Su, you have to be the master for Master."

After speaking, Mrs. Wei took out a handkerchief and pressed it at the corner of her eyes, and signaled Wanyan to pour her tea again.

Wan Yan looked at Su Jizhi, he didn't show any expression.

So she obediently walked to the table, picked up the tea set, poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Wei, and then returned to the original place.

Su Jizhi stared at Mrs. Wei, suppressing his anger, "Investigating the case is our government's business. Mrs. Wei came from the capital, so I can talk about Vice General Wei's situation in the capital."

"Since Mr. Su is interested in understanding the situation of the master, why not go to the capital? Or is it that the capital is far away, and Mr. Su uses this as an excuse to delay the time for handling the case?"

Mrs. Wei's attitude was arrogant: "If I don't come, will the case just be left alone? Master Su wants the murderer to go free?"

Wan Yan looked at Su Jizhi.

He was still standing where he was just now, with frost on his face.

"It's been a day since the master's accident. If you don't investigate the case quickly, what should you do if the murderer escapes? Besides, Mr. Su came to Tongshan Mansion from the capital for a long time, so you can't shirk your excuses."

Su Jizhi has a bad reputation in the capital.

From Mrs. Wei's point of view, the reason he dared to contradict the emperor was because of his poor brain.

That's why he was demoted from Dali Temple Minister to Tongshan Governor, and his official position was dropped several levels at once. Isn't this a fool?

Mrs. Wei didn't pay attention to Su Jizhi at all.

On weekdays, Mrs. Wei was used to relying on Wei Zhengwu's prestige in the social circle in the capital, not to mention walking sideways, she didn't take Su Jizhi who had no foundation in the court seriously at all.

But now he was standing at the door, obviously suppressing his anger, with forbearance exuding all over his body.

Mrs. Wei's heart was still beating.

It was rumored that Su Jizhi was cruel and merciless, she gave Su Jizhi a blow, and she didn't dare to act too rashly.

Mrs. Wei took a sip of tea, pretended to gesture, and slowly pointed to the two women at the door.

"This is the second aunt and third aunt of our family. I'll bring them here this time. If Master Su wants to know anything, just ask together."

Su Jizhi was already sure that the murderer was in Tongshan Mansion, and he wanted to rely on the sand and stones in the window to locate the murderer.

Mrs. Wei's sudden visit and her nonsensical remarks made Su Jizhi clenched his fists in annoyance.

"In this case, I will ask a few questions." Nie Fang and Miao Hong were not there, and Su Jizhi looked at Wan Yan: "Wan Yan, I will serve you with pen and ink."

Mrs. Wei cast a sideways glance at Wanyan, the little girl was as beautiful as a flower, she lowered her brows in front of Su Jizhi, and she was still wearing a navel-baring dress.

This confirmed her disdain for Su Jizhi even more.

When Wan Yan was called, her heart fluttered, she went to the table to grind and dip a pen, and found that Su Jizhi was still motionless, so she sat down at the table.

The two aunts were forced to raise their heads and looked at the eldest lady with resentment on their faces.

Su Jizhi quickly organized his thoughts.

What is the purpose of Da Furen asking him to ask questions?
Could it be that Vice General Wei's murder had something to do with these two aunts?
Now that the murderer has been identified, the next step is the motive of committing the crime. Could it be that the motive lies in the two aunts in front of him?

Su Jizhi didn't go to Wei Mansion for questioning because Su Jizhi only wanted to catch the murderer.

He doesn't care about the cause of Wei Zhengwu's death as long as he can deliver to the emperor.

However, Mrs. Wei's move saved Su Jizhi a lot of energy, and multiple clues are not a bad thing.

Su Jizhi's eyes scanned the three women, especially the eldest lady who was sitting there holding tea and pondering lightly.

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he shouted towards the door: "Come on, send Da Furen to the prison."

The teacup in Da Furen's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and she suddenly raised her head and scolded: "Su Jizhi, how dare you, I am the wife of the second rank, how dare you touch me?"

The two yamen servants had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Both of them heard what Da Furen said just now.

During the period when Su Jizhi came to Tongshan Mansion, although he was not very close to everyone, his reputation among the people was better than that of previous governors.

Even taking everyone out on duty is much smoother than before.

Besides, their salaries are paid on time every month, only a little more, which was absolutely not the case when the previous governors were in office.

Su Jizhi lived in the government office, and his usual food and expenses were very simple. Compared with the former governor, the cost was not less than a star and a half.

Where did the rest of the money go?

Improve everyone's food and give everyone benefits.

In the hearts of these yamen servants, Su Jizhi was a rare and good official among the previous governors of Tongshan Mansion.

No matter what he was like in the capital, at least in Tongshan Mansion, Su Jizhi deserves everyone's respect.

Just now the eldest lady spoke rudely, and the two yamen servants couldn't bear it long ago.

After the incident, they knew better than anyone how Su Jizhi solved the case and how to do it himself.

To actually say that Mr. Su didn't do anything, what kind of wife is really married to someone.

Wei Zhengwu served He Huan San and killed Jiaofang Secretary violently, and the yamen servants had been discussing in private for a long time.

Such a person is actually the deputy general of the Weiyuan Army of Da Qi State, even thinking about it makes people disdain.

The two yamen servants showed no mercy, no matter how the eldest lady struggled, they clamped her up together and dragged her out of the internal trial hall.

One of the yamen servants even took the opportunity to kick the lady, the pain made the lady cry louder than when she came.

Struggling to no avail, the eldest lady cursed.

"Su Jizhi, don't be complacent. When I give you a book from the emperor, even your governor can't do it. You dare to do something to me. You are too brave."

The eldest lady regretted it too much, everyone said that Su Ji's heart was disrespectful, so why did she break ground on him just now?

The eldest lady looked at the terrified Second Aunt and Third Aunt, feeling that she was completely humiliated.

"Su Jizhi, you will die badly, you will suffer retribution..."

Su Jizhi was cold and disdainful.
