Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 69

Wang Heng said to Yue'er: "When your father comes over, point it out to us. There must be members of the Immortal Sect next to him. If you rush to recognize him, it may be bad. Wang Cai and I are two unfamiliar faces. Let's Pay him a courtesy call and see how he handles it."

Fei Limu and his party fell at the end of the team, talking and laughing with each other, thinking about sightseeing with like-minded friends.

Wang Cai stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully, "May I ask if this is Mr. Fei from Changzhou County? My young master, please lend me a moment to speak."

Fei Li was stunned and asked: "Who is in charge of your residence? I'm sorry, I don't seem to recognize you."

Wang Cai raised his arm and pointed to the shade of the tree where Wang Heng and Yue'er were standing side by side, and said: "My young master is the seventh young master of Wang Yaqian Pavilion. He has been waiting there for a long time."

"Oh, it's the Seventh Young Master Wang." Fei Li called to the left and right, "Brother Wu, Third Brother, Fifth Brother Zhang, let's go meet him together."

A man next to him smiled heartily and said, "Brother Fei will come as soon as he goes. Our family doesn't recognize these gentlemen and we are too lazy to talk to them."

Another man glared and said, "Our game of chess is not over yet. I'll take the first step and get the upper hand."

After saying that, the two of them walked forward slowly and steadily. Their steps were steady and full of momentum. It seemed that their internal strength was quite high.

Wang Heng looked at it and secretly wondered in his heart, weren't these two people the Immortal Sect's purpose in guarding the paid officials?How could you walk away so easily?

Fei Limu followed Xiaocai as he walked over. He glanced at Wang Heng and Yue'er and exclaimed: "Ah Yue, why are you here?"

Yu'er was overjoyed and said: "Dad, Master Wang Qi helped you out of righteousness and helped you find the evidence to exonerate you."

After saying that, he was about to take out the official certificate from the silk handkerchief and give it to Fei Limu, but he saw Fei Limu wave his hand and said: "This matter has passed, A Yue, please keep it." He bowed to Wang Heng again to the end. , said: "Young Master's kindness of helping me will never be forgotten."

He pondered for a moment and then said: "Ah Yue, yesterday I asked the pharmacy clerk to deliver Angelica sinensis and Polygalaceae herbal medicines. It was to send you a message and tell you to return home quickly. Why didn't you understand?"

Yue'er said anxiously: "Dad, now that the evidence is available, let's get rid of the followers of the Immortal Sect as soon as possible. Either go to Shibo Ti to surrender to the Si Yamen, or go to Zhizhou Yamen to file a complaint."

Fei Li's face turned cold and he said angrily: "Ah Yue, my father just said that this matter has passed. You have done me a great favor by returning home early to take care of your mother and brother."

Yue'er's expression changed drastically and she said, "Dad, you really want to go to sea with the people from the Immortal Sect, but why?"

Fei Li frowned and said: "Ah Yue, you know, no one is threatening me as a father. I have been planning for eight years and spent so much energy on doing this big thing. It can be regarded as my life's ambition. I will be here soon." I am going to realize it together with the sisters and brothers in the church, and I don’t know how happy I am.”

Yue'er felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her. She felt chilled to the bone and said, "I won't leave until you tell me the reason."

"You kid, you are stubborn." Fei Limu shook his head and said in a gentle tone: "On the first shelf of Tianzi No. [-] in the study room of the old house at home, there is a book "Tian Xin Ji Xing Lu", written by your ancestor Songyan Gong. Please read it carefully, I have circled a few pages, you will know after reading it."

Fei Yue'er said anxiously: "In order to help you collect evidence, Uncle Duan was sent thousands of miles away by Shangguan in retaliation. Now I don't know whether he is alive or dead. How can my father just walk away?"

Fei Li's eyes moved slightly and he said in deep thought: "Brother Duan has helped me a lot. I will repay him in the future, but not now."

Having said that, Fei Limu ignored Yue'er and went on his own.

Wang Heng caught up with him and stopped him, saying, "Mr. Fei, Mr. Yuming, who is traveling with you, is a family friend of mine. Please introduce me to him and say goodbye to him."

Fei Limu thought for a while and said: "Master Yuming is resting in the cabin. He is a little unwell. I will send you a message. I can't guarantee whether he will see you or not." The group continued to move forward. Soon we returned to the pier. People were coming and going on the "Qiongxi", and it was a lively scene. Fei Limu told Wang Heng and others to wait at the pier, and he stepped on the boat himself.

After waiting for a while, Xiaocai became impatient. A man jumped out of the side of the boat and walked towards them.He has a jade-like temperament and free and easy grace, but is a little lighter than before. He is none other than Mr. Yu Ming.

"My dear brother, you have made a special trip to see me off." Mr. Yu Ming said as usual.

Wang Heng stood upright opposite him, with a cold smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Yuming, I have found your lost shipping certificate."

Yu Ming seemed a little caught off guard and said with a forced smile: "Seventh Young Master is a sensible person. I'm just running errands for others."

There was a silence and mutual speculation, and neither party wanted to discuss this topic anymore.

"As for Master Huiyun's murder case, don't you have any emotions, sir?" Wang Heng asked.

But Yu Ming regained his composure and said: "The jealousy of the beauty makes people feel sad."

Wang Heng's eyes flashed and he said: "Master Huiyun killed two people. Mr. Yuming, as the biological father of the fetus, speaks so lightly. At this moment, you must feel guilty, annoyed, and regretful, right?"

Yu Ming was silent for a moment and said: "Brother Shi, you are young and have not experienced many hardships and dangers in the world. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. You do not understand me or Huiyun. Huiyun specializes in arts and crafts, and young people Death, if you have to ask me to express my emotion, then it would be regret."

After hearing what Mr. Yuming said so shamelessly, the three people present had complicated expressions and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mr. Yu Ming cupped his hands and said, "The ship has set sail and we have to say goodbye." After saying that, he turned around and drifted away.

Wang Heng, Wang Cai, and Yue'er stopped at the dock and looked at it for a while. The weather was beautiful with clear blue sky, surrounded by water birds, ships were about to set sail, and the busy port was full of life.

Sailors, warriors, and soldiers in the guardhouse all perform their duties and make a living in this world. They are sometimes sad and sometimes happy.

The three of them felt as if a big stone was pressing down on their chests, heavy and depressed.

Wang Cai's thoughts fluctuated and he said: "Let's go back to Lao Lu's boat."

Yue'er said sadly, "Wait a little longer."

Until the "Qiongxi" set off, Fei Limu never came down to see his daughter again.

The ship slowly sailed into the distance, disappearing into a puff of smoke in the background.

Yue'er has gone through many hardships and dangers since she started searching for her father in the beginning of spring, but has not shed a single tear. At this moment, she was so depressed that she started to cry bitterly.

Seeing Yue'er's sadness, Wang Cai didn't dare to mention leaving.It was Yue'er who wiped away her tears and choked with sobs: "Let's go back to the ship."

In three or two steps, we reached the first bridge of Haimen. Old Lu An was resting peacefully on the boat.After boarding the boat, we paddled all the way west to Taicang Prefecture City.
