Lady Wan Guan

The next day, Jiang Wanning sent Mr. Wen and Yang Xu out of the city. There were more than thirty people in the caravan. She asked Zhu Sheng to follow. Qi Yu sent a young man in his early twenties, who seemed to be smart. , his attitude is also very good, he is respectful to Mr. Wen and Yang Xu, and he quickly became familiar with Zhu Sheng.

It seems that Qi Yu made a special statement.

In this way, Jiang Wanning was relieved.

After watching the caravan go away, Jiang Wanning returned to Sanxitang until it was gone.

The second elder brother was also there. I don't know what he said to Lin Ruoruo. Lin Ruoruo blushed rarely. Seeing her coming back, Lin Ruoruo went to the medicine store with a blushing face.

"What did you say to Ruoruo?" Jiang Wanning asked curiously.

Jiang Shi took out a letter: "I received it this morning."

Jiang Wanning took the letter, and when she saw the handwriting on it, she knew it was written by the eldest brother.

The letter said that his father and two brothers had already left for the capital. His father thought it would be good for Jiang Shi to marry a female doctor. When he arrived in the capital, he would propose marriage to the woman. If the woman didn't mind, he would get married as soon as possible. In the letter, he was also very happy that Jiang Wanning was awarded the title of Lord of Qingping County and became deputy judge of the Imperial Hospital. He said that his father received the letter and went to the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall to comfort his ancestors that day.

Jiang Wanning is also happy that her father and brothers are coming to the capital. She has not seen her father and brothers for a long time.

"Brother, when did you write your letter to father?"

"I have written it a long time ago. Unlike you, have you ever written a letter to your family after arriving in the capital?"

Jiang Wan Ning said that she had indeed not written anything. There were too many things. In addition, she did not know how to tell her father that she had been cheated by the Song family and divorced...

She just wanted to wait until everything settled.

"Oh, so, you just told Lin Ruoruo about the marriage proposal?"

Jiang Shi was unusually shy: "That, my father and brother agreed, so I told her directly."

"Sister, you are right. I have never dared to say it out loud for fear of being rejected, but I did say it today, and the way she looked at me was different, and she seemed to like me a little bit."

Jiang Wanning smiled and said: "It seems that I have to prepare gifts."

"It's necessary. Let me tell you, I won't agree if the gift is too small." Jiang Shi said proudly.

"Definitely not less." She was not doing it for her brother, but for Lin Ruoruo.

When Lin Ruoruo left everything in Jiangcheng and came to the capital with her, she regarded Lin Ruoruo as one of her own. Even if Lin Ruoruo did not marry Jiang Shi and married someone else, she planned to buy Lin Ruoruo a generous dowry.

Now that Lin Ruoruo is about to become her third sister-in-law, she can no longer be stingy.

Jiang Wanning remembered the case of the Minister of Industry and went to Dali Temple again.

As soon as she left, Xing Feng complained to her.

"That Miss Yao Er is really as thick-skinned as the city wall. She came again yesterday. The master said that if she didn't leave, he would send her back home with drums and gongs. She was so frightened that she left immediately. Later, the master wrote a letter asking me to Mr. Yao sent it, I don’t know if Miss Yao will come today."

Jiang Wan Ning was not surprised at all, Yao Ying would not give up so easily.

I don’t know what will happen.

"Xing Feng, Xing Feng, prepare the car, I'm going to the Ministry of Industry Yamen." Gu Zhou's voice came from inside.

"Hey, little one, go right away. Sir, Lady Jiang is here."

After a while, Gu Zhouting walked out.

"I was just going to find you, and you came here." Gu Zhou's face stopped like a spring breeze.

"Is there any use for me?" Jiang Wanning said with a smile.

"The Emperor gave you a five-day deadline to solve the case. Now that the deadline has passed halfway, I have no choice but to ask you, the senior counselor, to take action."

Jiang Wan Ning turned around and left.

Gu Zhouting looked confused: "Wan Ning, if you don't want to go, don't go. Don't be angry!"

Jiang Wanning turned around and said, "Who says I don't want to go? I'm going to change my clothes. I'll wait for you outside." Gu Zhou paused and breathed a sigh of relief. He was scared to death.

I thought she was angry.

Jiang Wan Ning's carriage was equipped with men's clothes, and she changed into the handsome Jiang Ning in a moment.

The two went straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

On the way, Gu Zhouting told her the results of yesterday's investigation.

"The two hundred crossbows of the Imperial Guard are kept in a centralized manner, and every use is recorded. There was no record of the crossbows leaving the warehouse on the night when Mr. Huang from the Ministry of Industry was assassinated, nor in the three days before. These crossbows are all used by bows and arrows. There are a total of three hundred archers in the archery camp. They practice on weekdays and everyone takes turns."

As he spoke, Gu Zhouting took out a list: "The people on this list are all the best shooters in the bow and arrow camp, and they can all shoot with a hundred steps. I have also investigated these people. On the night of Mr. Huang's assassination, there were seven of them. They were on duty, and there were three others who were not on duty, but some people proved that they had alibi evidence.”

"This is the result of the investigation." Gu Zhouting gave him another file.

Jiang Wanning looked at them one by one and saw that Liu Qingxiang was at home that night. His wife said that he got up at five o'clock to practice martial arts.

Wang Xin left the city that night and went to his grandfather's house. He didn't come back until the city gate opened in the morning.

Zhou Wei and a few friends gathered together to gamble until dawn and lost a lot of money.

The alibis of these three people are worthy of scrutiny.

"What about the crossbows from Beidaying?"

"After asking the Beida Camp, there are still thirty-seven crossbows that were sorted out in the fire. They are still locked in the armory and have never been used."

Jiang Wan Ning sighed: "Checking like this is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."

If one of the links is faked, the whole thing will be overturned.

"Isn't that right? There are no valuable clues from the Ministry of Industry. There are visitor records within a month, but only the main visitors are registered, not the followers. The question is, who doesn't have a few followers with him?"

"I went to Yongshou Hall again. I walked around several times. I asked Zheng Guanliang to climb up and check. I pried open the floor tiles and checked, but found nothing." Gu Zhouting rarely encountered such a difficult case.

When they arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, the two went to the duty room where Mr. Huang lived before his death, and then went to the flower wall.

Jiang Wanning looked in through the diamond-shaped lattice of the flower wall. At this distance and angle, it was indeed impossible for a sharpshooter to hit Mr. Huang's throat.

Turning around, Jiang Wanning saw a handyman in charge of cleaning looking at them with complicated eyes, as if he had something to say.

Jiang Wan Ning winked at Gu Zhouting.

Gu Zhou stopped to understand and walked over: "Do you have something to say?"

The handyman hesitated: "I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"It's whatever you say, it doesn't matter."

The handyman then said: "Half a month ago, the little one came to clean the house and saw a man standing where the elder was standing just now. The little one scolded him for what he was doing there, and he left."

Gu Zhouting's eyes lit up: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important clue when I asked it before?"

The handyman said: "Something happened at home, and I took seven days off. I just came back yesterday. When I came back, the government investigation had ended. I was still hesitant to go to Mr. Wei to tell him, so I met Mr. Wei. you."

This is really a dark place.

Jiang Wan Ning said: "Do you still remember what that person looks like?"

The handyman thought for a while: "I only have a rough impression, I can't remember clearly."

"It doesn't matter, just say it and I'll paint it," Jiang Wan Ning said.

It would be nice to draw a rough outline.
