The wife of the power minister's family

But outside Lingzhou City, I don’t know when a large number of people had gathered. They were lined up on both sides of the road in an orderly manner. When they saw Xu Jing’s carriage coming out, they immediately shouted loudly——

"goddess!"

"Goddess! Have a safe journey!"

"You must come back to Lingzhou to visit us when you have time!"

"Thank you, Goddess, for taking care of us during this time!"

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and took a closer look. On both sides of the road, she saw Huang Jinyuan and Wei Muqing leading a group of people to maintain order. When they saw Xu Jing sticking her head out of the window, they immediately waved to Xu Jing excitedly——

"A Jing, I will go to Xijing with Master soon. Let's see you then!"

"Goddess, I will definitely pass down your deeds from generation to generation! I will never let people in the village forget you!"

Xu Jing couldn't help laughing.

Ever since Huang Jinyuan saw Xu Jing capture Wang Dazhi with his own eyes, he seemed to have become her crazy fan. After returning to the village, he began to boast about how she was invincible and found out the murderer of Wang Man's family in the blink of an eye. murderer.

It happened that during this period, Xu Jing and Yan Ci were very active in Lingzhou. Rumors about her were like the north wind passing by, spreading throughout Lingzhou in just a few days, and they tended to become more and more exaggerated.

In the past, Xu Jing would just laugh off these rumors and not take them seriously. But after she decided to compete with Guangmingtang, these rumors had a different meaning to her. During this time, she even secretly sent people to fan the flames. Let these rumors spread more and more.

Now, the greater her reputation, the better it will be for her to compete with Guangmingtang in the future.

Therefore, facing the reluctance and gratitude of the people at this time, Xu Jing was very calm, hung up the curtains on both sides, and smiled and waved to them as she left.

Xiao Yi followed her on horseback. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but lower his head and glance at her with a smile, his eyes brightening slightly.

His wife is so dazzling.

As early as when she solved the first case in Anping County, he had secretly sighed that this woman's brilliance and ability could not be known to the world.

Now, she can finally bathe in the praise of the world openly and openly.

This feeling made him happier than being recognized.

Xiangyou, who was following them, saw his husband's appearance and couldn't help but remain silent for a while.

This time, the reputation of the madam has completely surpassed that of the husband!

Not only did Lang Jun not mind, he also looked pleased.

He used to often wonder how his husband could get his wife back due to his incomprehensible charm, but this time he finally knew it!

He deserves to have a wife!

In the reluctant farewell of everyone, their group of carriages and horses finally left Lingzhou. Because they had to hurry, they walked faster than ordinary carriages and horses, and rarely rested at night. Finally, they arrived in December On the afternoon of the 27th, I saw the city gate of Xijing from a distance.

Xu Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They encountered two heavy snowfalls along the way, which hindered their trip. She was worried that she would not be able to make it back before the 28th.

Fortunately, they brought many soldiers with them to escort Li Yuan. With the help of those soldiers, they finally arrived. In order to rush on the road, they had not had any serious rest for two days and two nights. When they saw the city gate, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It happened that a footwear shop opened on the roadside, so Xiao Yi made the decision and let everyone Take a break here, drink hot tea and have a good meal.

Xu Jing finally got out of the carriage and couldn't help but stretch slightly. Cheng Xiao came over and said, "Madam, the foot shop is in a shabby environment. You can just make do with it and return to the capital."

Xu Jing gave him a funny look, "I've even lived in simpler villages, why would I care about this?"

In the past few days, the hardest thing was not her, but Xiao Yicai. While he was on his way, he also had to keep an eye on Li Yuan to prevent anyone from trying to kill him and silence him, and to prevent him from committing suicide.

Although they captured Li Yuan, they could not find Li Yuan's family. This guy was extremely cunning and had moved all his family members away before sending out troops.

Xiao Yi and Zhao Jingxuan analyzed that he should have entrusted his family to the forces behind the scenes. Therefore, these days, no matter how they tortured him to extract confessions, Li Yuan just gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.

The people under him obviously knew nothing, they only knew that Li Yuan ordered them to do all this.

At present, the only person with interrogation value is Li Yuan, so escorting him back to Beijing has naturally become a top priority.

Fortunately, they were fully prepared this time. Although they encountered many attacks along the way, they were able to successfully block them.

At this moment, he was afraid that he would go to Li Yuan again to check on his situation.

Xu Jing walked into the foot shop and sat down. She only wanted a pot of tea and nothing else.

She was jolting in the carriage every day these days, her stomach was full, and she really had no appetite.

Xu Jing and the others rested in the foot shop, while the soldiers rested outside.

Suddenly, there was a burst of funeral music and faint cries outside. Following the sound, everyone looked forward and saw not far away, two men in white were carrying a wooden coffin and slowly Come this way.

Next to the wooden coffin was a group of people in white clothes who were crying and shouting. The person carrying the wooden coffin at the front was a thin, fair-skinned man with a bookish look. He was heard crying loudly: "Mother! Mother!" Why are you leaving now! After the New Year, your son is about to get married. Haven't you always been looking forward to your son marrying a wife who knows both cold and hot things? Hua Niang was also chosen by you for your son! It's not easy for your son to pass the exam. If you become a scholar, you will end next spring. You said that when I get the honors, let me honor you!"

Xu Jing looked at the funeral procession unconsciously. Fortunately, the funeral procession did not go in their direction. They turned in at a fork in the road not far away.

Just then, the waiter from the foot shop came over to bring tea to Xu Jing. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's almost the Chinese New Year and it's not easy for the husband of the Qu family to come here like this. Moreover, since his wife committed suicide, he must at least observe filial piety." Year, I can’t go in spring next year.”

Suicide?

Xu Jing glanced at him and said, "Do you know this family?"

"Of course we know each other. Qu Langjun and I are both from Baiyu Village nearby."

This guy looked like he was talkative and immediately said: "Qu Langjun and his wife are quite famous in our village. His wife, Sister-in-law Wu, is a widow. Her husband died in an accident ten years ago. After that, she insisted on not remarrying, and relied on her unique skill of making tofu to raise her son up. Last year, she was admitted as a scholar, and she was very prosperous in our village for a while. "

Chunyang on the side was a little stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law Wu has finally managed to cultivate her son into a talented person. Why...why is she still so obsessed with committing suicide?"

What a pity!

What's more, I just heard from her son that her son was about to get a wife. Her death would not only delay her son's imperial examination, but also delay his getting a wife!
