Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 141 Coincidence
Before Ji Wenxuan said anything, Bai Qing smiled coquettishly, "Or, you really fell in love with this inconspicuous young man from the shop, are you really going to take him away?"

Looking at the anticipation that flashed in Guo Song's eyes, Ji Wenxuan couldn't refuse directly, and only gave an ambiguous answer, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"

"If that's the case, then the concubine's body... is naturally unforgivable."

After saying that, Bai Qing's face changed and she wanted to drag Guo Song back, "You don't want to climb high branches like this."

"Besides—"

Guo Song, however, flinched and broke free from Bai Qing's shackles, "The shopkeeper!"

Guo Song raised his red eyes to meet Bai Qing's surprised eyes and said, "Do you really think I'm doing it for such a petty gain?"

Only then did Bai Qing feel that Guo Song seemed to be acting for real, and panicked, "You! Otherwise, you and me. I'll give you a raise!"

"Can't I let you do so much work in the future?"

"Then... you can do whatever you want in the future, and I won't care about you anymore, okay?"

"Shopkeeper, thanks to your care these days, your great kindness, Guo Song, is always in my heart, but you can leave this matter alone."

"I've made up my mind to go, it's useless for you to force me to stay."

After Guo Song finished speaking, he turned his head away from Bai Qing's expression, Bai Qing's face had undergone many changes, and it took a long time before he could only utter a resounding "good".

Bai Qing turned her head stiffly and left a word before turning around and staggering away, "I won't take care of your affairs from now on."

Before Ji Wenxuan, who was watching a big show, opened his mouth, Guo Song slid down the pillar behind him and sat down.

Guo Song curled up into a ball, only buried his face in his body, occasionally a few fragmented choking sounds floated out.

Ji Wenxuan couldn't bear it when he saw this. At first, he just wanted to get some words out of Guo Song's mouth, but he didn't expect that things would turn into this situation.
Although Guo Song said that he was a little tricky, but his age was about the same as his grandchildren, so he was indeed suspected of being old and disrespectful.

Ji Wenxuan took out his handkerchief from his sleeve, poked Guo Song and handed it to him. Unexpectedly, Guo Song raised his head suddenly, the tears on his face were still there, but there was no sadness in his eyes, but a little more stubbornness .

"Little brother"

Guo Song turned his head to look at Ji Wenxuan and said, "Mr., if you don't help me now, I will be nothing. I have nowhere to go now."

"you……."

Why are you still relying on him?
"I think your shopkeeper has a deep affection for you, why should you..."

"If you admit your mistake to her now, maybe she won't be angry?"

Guo Song shook his head and said, "Old man, if you refuse to take me in, I'll ask Madam myself. Even if I'm cheating, I want to stay with you."

"Why are you suffering?"

Now it was Ji Wenxuan who was completely stunned, he just seduced Guo Song with a few words, why Guo Song was so determined to follow them back?

Guo Song smiled bitterly, "Mr., since the matter has come to this point, I don't need to lie to you, and you...don't need to lie to me either."

Ji Wenxuan put away his veil with a stiff face, "What do you mean?"

Guo Song suddenly snatched the handkerchief from Ji Wenxuan's hand, sniffed it, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the spice used in this handkerchief is the most popular cold rosin in the capital, and ordinary people can't get it. And , You said you were a housekeeper, but you were wearing official boots, especially for that accountant, who said he was an accountant and didn't even have calluses on his hands, so it was nothing more than coaxing others. This trick... …”

Ji Wenxuan:
What a misstep!

I forgot to change my shoes in a hurry!

"Mister, my lord, the little one is so honest, do you still want to lie to me?"

Ji Wenxuan had no choice but to admit annoyedly, "What you said is indeed true and we are."

"But this is not the reason why you insist on taking refuge?!"

Ji Wenxuan suddenly changed the direction of the wind, and asked directly back.

"Anyone who can afford such spices is definitely not lower than the sixth grade, and that lady is even more so. As long as I can go back with you, I will have a chance to avenge myself!"

"Revenge?"

"If you have a grievance, you should go to the county government, to us... We may not be able to help you!"

"I, I. As long as I can go back to Chenliu with you, I have my own way!" Guo Song continued with a wry smile, "But if I went to the Yamen, half of my life would be lost before I walked out of the Yamen. Gone."

Ji Wenxuan understood from his expression, "The one you want to sue is someone related to the yamen?"

Guo Song nodded, "I want to sue the Wang family."

"But in this yamen, who is not a person with the surname of Wang, and who is not backed by the Wang family?"

"Even if it's me, I used to be a dog working for Mrs. Wang."

"Looking for someone to be a scapegoat? They threw me out, beat me up and threw me out of the palace!"

Guo Song laughed at himself, "For such a result, it was because others pleaded for me that they only hit [-] big boards. In other people's original plan, taking my life was just a trivial matter. "

"Then how did you come to this inn?"

When Guo Song mentioned this inn, his tone softened inexplicably, "Bai Qing and I grew up together. I lost my father when I was young, and my mother when I was young. Seeing how pitiful I am, Bai Qing asked me to move here and live with her. The guys in this store are companions."

"Later, by chance, I did something for Mrs. Wang, so I found another place to live and moved out. I didn't move back until I was driven out a few days ago."

"But I think the shopkeeper doesn't just treat you with...sympathy?"

Guo Song raised his red and swollen eyelids and looked at Ji Wenxuan, "My lord has insight, but I'm afraid I can only let her down."

Speaking of this, Guo Song's tone suddenly became heavy, "I was not worthy of her before, and I am even more unworthy now."

Ji Wenxuan fell silent as if he had been poked into something.

Seeing that Ji Wenxuan's expression also changed, Guo Song laughed at himself, "Master must think my stories are boring, but I used to do some shady errands for Mrs. Wang, my hands are already dirty, and now I'm still being treated like that by people." Driven out like a mangy dog, I."

"I'm not reconciled!"

"I must avenge myself, and I must vent my anger!"

"Only you! You can help me!"

Guo Songyu said that he became more and more excited, and even pulled Ji Wenxuan's shoulder and shook it.

Ji Wenxuan hurriedly tried to break away from the little brother who looked a bit crazy, and gasped, "Little brother, I'm getting old, I can't stand this shaking, you're shaking my bones to pieces!"

Guo Song let go of his hand in embarrassment, "I'm sorry."

Ji Wenxuan took a breather before continuing to ask, "Then who do you want to sue and why, tell me the story, so I can know if I can help you."

Guo Song looked around and said quietly, "I want to sue Wang Yu, the third son of the Wang family."

"Before he hid stolen goods, he was almost about to be questioned. Later, he asked Wang Yuan's son to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix to take the blame for him. Only then can he escape."

Ji Wenxuan frowned, "But what does this matter have to do with you?"

"Don't worry, my lord. Listen to me slowly. That's where the change of things comes from."

"Because Wang Yuan is a distant branch of the Wang family, he has never been taken seriously, so the position in Lizheng was obtained by him for many years."

"But later, his son was used to take the blame, so Lao Tzu was promoted and became the head of our township."

"In fact, at the beginning Wang Yu's father promised Wang Yuan that his son would only get a light sentence. Later, he would use Wang's relationship with the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple to change the light sentence to bail and the release to innocence. This way everyone will be happy."

"Wang Yuan thought that the business was not a bad deal, and it was just letting his son go to jail for someone else, and the crime of hiding stolen goods didn't sound like a big crime, and he could get promoted because of it, so he agreed and let him go back. My own son went to plead guilty."

"But I didn't expect that the queen mother and the court would suddenly impose heavy sentences and pursue accountability, and all the people would be sent to prison."

"Wang Yuan became anxious now, but when he found Wang Yu's father, the man turned his back on him and said that there was no such thing at all."

"Wang Yuan didn't dare to make a big fuss. After all, his official position was given to him by the Wang family. He couldn't lose his son and the official position. But he still couldn't bear it, so he ordered people to assassinate Wang Yu secretly. .”

Ji Wenxuan said silently, "My son can't live well, and the culprit naturally can't live well either."

Guo Song nodded, "But once the assassin accidentally missed, Wang Yu was on guard again, and Wang Yuan can't do anything to Wang Yu right now."

Ji Wenxuan turned his head to look at the innocent Guo Song and said in shock, "Could you be that assassin?"

Guo Song said helplessly, "Do you think my body looks like an assassin?"

Ji Wenxuan shook his head, "It's not like that."

"And Wang Yu also thought of who would send this assassin, so he ran to Qingshiban Township. On the surface, he was going on a youth tour, but in fact he was showing off his might."

"Then Wang Yuan can bear this tone?!"

Guo Song shrugged and said, "Of course it will."

"Wang Yuan couldn't afford to offend Wang Yu, but he was so angry that he killed his son and was humiliated like this, so."

"So I collected many absurd things that Wang Yu did before, and told the Patriarch Wang."

"The Wang family has been in business for many years, and its descendants are flourishing. It is not uncommon for such a big family to have such a few scumbags, but the owner of the family is an extremely cautious person. When he hears that there are such unworthy descendants, he will use them immediately." family law."

"I don't know if my lord has heard of Wang's family law before?"

Ji Wenxuan nodded, "I heard a little bit."

Back then when he and Wang Xuan were officials in the middle of the capital, he had personally seen him beat his own son. It really beat his son as hard as his grandson.

It can be seen that love is deep and responsibility is serious!

"As soon as Wang Yu heard that the head of the family was coming, he was so frightened that he immediately packed up the gold and silver and ran away, but he was stopped by the head of the house as soon as he walked halfway."

"The master punished him with fifty army sticks and imprisoned him for a year."

Ji Wenxuan asked suspiciously, "No... how do you know so clearly?"

When Guo Song mentioned that period of history, his teeth itch with hatred, "Because I was right in front of me at that time!"

"I was Wang Yu's valet before!"

"You used to be Wang Yu's servant?!!!", Ji Wenxuan said in surprise, "I thought"

"You don't think I'm from Wang Yuan's mansion, do you?"

"You are in Qingshiban Township, so I naturally think you are from Wang Yuan."

"I am from Qingshiban Township, but I have been working in Chenliu. Later, I was deported back to my hometown."

"Wang Yu is a boneless person. Seeing that he took the initiative and was serious, he immediately pushed me out, saying that what he did before was all abetted by me!"

"If he was willing to listen to what I said, he wouldn't have fallen into this situation!"

Ji Wenxuan couldn't help but sweat for Wang Xuan after hearing the messy grievances and entanglements. It's really no good to have more descendants, and he can't manage it at all!
"Then you want to sue him, what evidence do you have?"

"Just relying on Wang Yuan to be promoted? This is not convincing."

Guo Song sneered, "The letter that gave Wang Yu the idea of ​​finding someone to replace him is still with me."

Just as Ji Wenxuan was about to reach out to pick it up, Guo Song looked at him vigilantly, "Boss, you!"

"Are you thinking of guarding against me now? Didn't you just believe that I can vent your anger on you?!"

Guo Song insisted, "I've been in the Wang family for many years, and I've never made a mistake in listening to people's words and listening to people's voices!"

"Then why don't you show it to me?"

Guo Song then tentatively said, "Then you promised to help me?"

Ji Wenxuan didn't expect this kid to be waiting for him here, so he thought for a while before answering, "Well, if you can help me with one more thing, I will promise you, and I will take you back to Beijing later, can you willing?"

Guo Song immediately excitedly said, "My little one will definitely do his best!"

Ji Wenxuan opened his hand to read the letter, but Guo Song said with a blushing smile, "Then I'll show you when you decide for me. Tell me first, what do you want me to do for you?"

Ji Wenxuan helplessly nodded Guo Song's forehead and said with a smile, "Sure enough, he's a genius!"

"Do you know who this Wang Yuan's wife is?"

Guo Song nodded, "Naturally, she is a well-known shrew in our township, after Wang Yuan sold her son into prison, she poked Wang Yuan's back and scolded him for three days and nights without repeating a word. "

Ji Wenxuan shook his head, "I'm not asking you about her, but do you know her name and where she came from?"

Although Guo Song was puzzled, he answered honestly, "Her surname is He. I heard that her ancestors were once prominent. Later, her family fell into ruin and she had to sell her ancestral properties to make ends meet. In her generation, she was the only daughter. At first, it seemed When the He family was prominent, they were married to Wang's fingertips, but later the He family was not popular. Wang didn't want his sons and grandsons to marry such a family, but he didn't want to make his reputation bad. It fell on the head of Wang Yuan who lived far away."

Ji Wenxuan nodded, these were basically the same as what he knew before.

"Why do you ask about this, my lord?"

Ji Wenxuan only said, "Naturally, you need to inquire clearly when looking for relatives."

"Are you really here to find relatives?"

Ji Wenxuan said in a low voice, "Is there still a fake?"
