Staring at the open willow window for a moment, Ye Chengwei immediately looked away.

If someone really came to see Tuhong without being noticed, then this person must have come in through the willow window.

I can do it without anyone noticing, I'm afraid there is some skill.

It's just that, for the time being, he can't directly confirm whether this matter is related to Wen Yuming.

Smiling lightly at Wen Yuming who was at a loss, Ye Chengwei said casually: "I heard from the people in the restaurant that Tuzhi County is planning to meet someone here today?"

"The government has just inquired from the people in Jiang'an County that Tu Hong is going to meet an old friend today."

Wen Yuming replied without thinking.

Ye Chengwei nodded meaningfully: "This makes the officials curious, what kind of old man can compare to meeting the magistrate?"

"Hey, brother Ye, you don't know something."

Wen Yuming looked bitter, and gradually realized that Zhuangyuan Lang suspected that he had something to do with Tuhong's death, so he quickly explained with a bitter face:
"In the early years, our government had indeed had a close relationship with Tuhong, and relied heavily on him. That's why we recommended him to come to Jingzhou Prefecture with our government and let him be the county magistrate of Jiang'an City. However, time has passed and so many years have passed. The government has long been ignorant of his behavior, and the Cheng family's case can be seen."

"Yes, in Yezhi County, the officialdom is like a mess, and even the people around you can't see it clearly, let alone the old people in other counties, it's not uncommon for the underworld to deceive the superior and the inferior."

Master Mu Xian also echoed: "It is indeed difficult for the magistrate to take care of all aspects of Nuoda's Jingzhou Mansion."

Both inside and outside the words are trying to evade the connection between Wen Yuming and Tuhong.

But Master Mu's words had a more profound meaning, as if Liu Cheng's guilt was to be taken away from Wen Yuming, for fear that he would bear the reputation of covering up.

Ye Chengwei just raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty and Mr. Mu don't need to explain. Although the official is new to the officialdom, he also understands the truth."

After saying that, he bowed his hands and bid farewell to the two: "Since Wu Zuo has come to a conclusion on Tuzhi County's death, I will hurry back to the county government office and close the case immediately after further autopsy."

"There's Brother Laoye."

Seeing that he no longer pursued the matter, Wen Yuming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But on the surface, he still had to put on a show, looked at Mu Xian with great interest, and immediately ordered: "Master Mu, send someone to find out who Tuhong is going to meet today. After all, he is an official ordered by the court. It is impossible for such things to happen one after another. main idea."

Mu Xian understood: "Yes."

The two looked at each other, watching Ye Chengwei leave first.

After the whole room was completely clean, Master Mu turned his gaze back to Wen Yuming, expressing anxiously:
"Master Zhifu, I see that the people coming to Ye Zhi County are not good, so we should take precautions early."

After a moment of silence, he hesitated and said: "My lord will be promoted soon, and I should have more capable assistants by my side. I see that Miss Hua's family has some skills, so why don't you recruit this girl into the tent for your lord's use, so as to prevent her from becoming an adult in the future?" I am the honored guest of Yezhi County."

Mu Xian's reminder made Wen Yuming immediately think of the situation in front of the county government just now.

Ye Chengwei looked at the woman with eyes that really wanted to support her, and the protection she had given her these few times was evident.

After thinking silently for a moment, he shook his head with contempt: "How can a woman like a woman enter the tent of our state government and be a widow? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to spread the word?"

"Your Excellency, employ people and employ talents."

Mu Xian raised his eyebrows and reminded with a wry smile: "What's more, Miss Hua's identity has already been certified by adults, and her marriage with the Dou family has been annulled, so she can't be considered a widow."

"Master Mu doesn't need to say any more."

Wen Yuming waved his hand resolutely: "That girl just knows some heresy things, such tricks are not something that a country girl like her can control."

Seeing that he was unmoved by his advice, Mu Xian had no choice but to give up, and the two left Hongding Restaurant one after the other.

In the old house of the Weng family five miles east of the city, Hua Rujin just got off the carriage and smelled the strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus wafting from all around.

The aroma is tangy and refreshing.

She led Cheng Nini into the living room by two young maids from the Weng family. Just as she was seated, she saw the lady in Tsing Yi offer tea, and then secretly gave the servant a look.

Not long after, a young servant came in with a tray covered with red silk.

The woman in Tsing Yi pointed to the tray, and said with a warm smile: "This is my master's kindness, please accept it with a smile, Miss Hua, don't let anyone see you."

Hua Rujin glanced under the red silk that was being uncovered, neatly moving a tray full of white silver.

Can't help being startled in my heart, I quickly looked at Weng Yuanwai who was limp on the grand master's chair, and refused, saying: "It's just a little effort, Weng Yuanwai don't have to be so polite."

Meeting this girl like Ni Ni was also a matter of fate, she never thought of earning money from this girl.

Now I only hope that the little girl can be properly placed.

Seeing the white money handed over to others, the son-in-law Liu Jiang looked distressed: "My son-in-law sees that Miss Hua is not a greedy person. Doesn't the father-in-law and stepmother make Miss Hua feel like this?"

"go out."

Before Zuosin-in-law could finish speaking, Yuanwai Weng cut him off with a harsh reprimand.

Liu Jiang had no choice but to back out in disgrace.

"Miss Hua will definitely accept it, don't refuse."

Weng Yuanwai's eyes became warm again, and he stared at Hua Rujin with sincerity: "You not only found the child Ni Ni for the old man, but also avenged her family's great revenge, and some frivolous things are just to show your heart. "

Seeing the earnest eyes of the couple, and looking at the girl Ni Ni who kept hinting, Hua Rujin immediately took the money: "The junior will thank Weng Yuanwai."

Only then did Weng Yuanwai show a gratified smile on his frail face.

He sighed for a long time, looked at the young wife and young son in front of him, then pulled Cheng Nini to him, and kept stroking her little palm, his eyes gradually became serious: "Poor child, uncle's death is coming soon!" , I don’t know if your aunt will be able to protect you in the future.”

Hearing these words, the woman in Tsing Yi next to her suddenly sobbed softly with a lonely expression.

Hua Rujin sensed that his words had deep meaning, and her phoenix eyes sank: "Why did Mr. Weng say such a thing, you just need to take good care of your bones, and you will be able to recover sooner or later."

The woman in Tsing Yi cried even more sadly, and slowly lifted off the quilt covering Weng Yuanwai's body, only to see that the clothes on his entire lower body were wet, and the surrounding quilts were stuck together.

A thick bloody smell immediately filled the room, which was pungent and unpleasant.

"My master worked very hard in business in the early years, and sometimes he was socializing. He was diagnosed with liver plague a few years ago. The death of Ni Ni's grandmother made the master's illness worse. Many famous doctors said that there is no medicine for the master's liver and gallbladder. Can be cured."

The woman in Tsing Yi held her nose and kept choking: "Over the years, we have also heard rumors that Ni Ni's family may have been persecuted. My master just held his breath and wanted to find out the truth."

Hua Rujin suddenly realized, and said bluntly without beating around the bush: "So Mr. Weng is worried that your son-in-law will embarrass his wife and son-in-law in the future?"

In this way, Ni Ni's situation in the future may not be much better.
