Lady Wan Guan

Jiang Wan Ning went to the master with a complicated mood.

"Hey, I came early today." Taoist Master Wu Gu said without raising his head while playing chess.

Recently, he has become obsessed with studying chess records. That boy Ji Yunchen got him a lot of unique books, which contain many mysterious chess games.

He tried to find a way to crack them one by one.

It's also just too boring.

"Come on, let's play the next round."

Jiang Wan Ning looked gloomy: "Master, I'm a little uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Priest Wugou quickly put down the chess pieces in his hand: "Come here and take a look for me."

Jiang Wanning gave her hand to the master, Taoist priest Wu Gu put his two fingers on the foot and said for a moment: "I think you are thinking too much and overthinking."

"Well, my mind has been spinning these past few days."

Taoist Master Wu Gu stared at her for a few seconds: "No wonder none of your family members live long."

Few members of the Shangguan family lived for more than a year. Most of the men died in battle, while the women worried all day long at home, thinking about their relatives at the border. If they were too worried, they would not live long.

Jiang Wan Ning curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Master..."

"Okay, I won't say anything. You, just empty your mind and have a good sleep. Nothing will happen."

"Oh, then I'm going to take a nap. When I wake up, I'll play chess with Master."

Jiang Wan Ning went to the guest room and fell asleep.

She hasn't slept well for several nights.

Lying on the bed, she still couldn't help but think about this and that. She seemed to be in a daze, as if she had arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. She was standing under the flower wall. A handyman came towards her. She called him and wanted to ask him if he had any questions. I haven't seen anyone suspicious.

But the handyman seemed unable to hear or see her. He walked straight to the flower wall, leaned the broom against the wall, and looked in through the diamond grid.

As the scene turned, the handyman pointed at the portrait in her hand: "The bridge of the nose should be higher and the tip of the nose should be more prominent."

Then she saw that there was a thick layer of calluses on the middle section of the four fingers of the handyman's right hand.

Jiang Wan Ning woke up suddenly, gasping for air.

I got out of bed, put on my shoes, opened the door and ran out.

"Hey, where are you going?" Wugou, who was sitting in the pavilion studying the chess game, heard the noise and looked up to see his good disciple running away in a hurry.

"It's urgent. Master, I'll leave first." Jiang Wanning ran away without looking back.

Taoist priest Wu Guo shook his head helplessly: "It's such a hard life, and I can't even sleep peacefully."

Jiang Wanning got on the carriage and said urgently: "Xiao Pan, Dali Temple."

Little Pan Xin said: Didn’t you just come back from Dali Temple? In addition, this trip is the third trip to Dali Temple today.

Those who didn’t know thought the lady was from Dali Temple.

After Jiang Wanning left, Gu Zhouting was looking through the files again, trying to find any clues.

Who in the end instigated Guan Shan to induce them to find Wang Xin?

A widower has run away now and it's really hard to find him.

"Ms. Jiang, why are you back again?" Xing Feng smiled when he saw Mrs. Jiang returning.

"I have something urgent to do with you, sir. Is he there?"

"My lord is inside."

Jiang Wanning pushed the door open, and Gu Zhouting opened the door.

"Wan Ning, what's wrong?"

"The murderer who assassinated Master Huang was Guan San. Go check on Guan San immediately to see if he has ever served in the army."

Gu Zhouting was stunned: "The murderer is Guan San?" Guan San, who is stooped and over fifty years old?

"Yes, that's him. He is a handyman from the Ministry of Industry's Yamen. No one will pay attention to him when he goes in and out of the flower wall. When I took the portrait yesterday, I focused on the portrait and neglected an important detail. The four sides of his right hand There is a thick layer of calluses on the middle section of each finger, forming a straight line. This kind of callus is caused by drawing a bow string all the time. There is also a very shallow and imperceptible vertical mark on his face, which is also caused by drawing a bow and shooting arrows all the time. Before posting, he asked for leave and said there was something going on at home, but after Zheng Guan investigated, he said he was a widower. So, he lied. How could a person who doesn't even have a family have something going on at home?"

"His request for leave was to prove his alibi. How did the people at the Ministry of Works evaluate him? They said he was honest and true to his duties, but no one paid much attention to him. So, that night, he quietly sneaked into the Yamen of the Ministry of Works and came outside the flower wall. , shot Mr. Huang to death with one arrow."

Jiang Wan Ning said in one breath.

Xing Feng was dumbfounded. Lady Jiang is so powerful.

Starry eyes of adoration.

Just like before, she just pointed out that the murder weapon was ice edge after hearing the case of Prince Su He.

Gu Zhouting looked serious: "I'll go to the Ministry of Industry immediately."

"I'll go too." Jiang Wan Ning was very upset. If she had been more careful yesterday, she might have been able to spot Guan San on the spot and catch the real murderer.

She just wanted to solve the case so much. As soon as she heard Guan San said she had seen the murderer, she was so focused on drawing the murderer that she missed the details.

Gu Zhouting saw that she looked a little tired and said softly: "I'll just go and take care of this. You go back and have a good rest. Look at you, the circles under your eyes are blue."

"Is there any?" Jiang Wanning asked suspiciously.

Looking at his eyes, they were still piercing. Su He and others complained endlessly when they thought about how he had suffered at the inn, and finally agreed with his decision.

He can really endure it!

"Yes, why don't you go look in the mirror?"

Jiang Wan Ning curled her lips and said, "Okay, then you go ahead. I'm going back to rest. I'll send someone to tell you when there are results."

"Okay, go ahead."

Gu Zhouting watched Jiang Wanning leave with a wry smile. She was really a hard-working mother, and she worked even harder than him in handling cases.

"Xing Feng, prepare the car."

"okay!"

Gu Zhou stopped at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to check Guan San's past.

The person who responded was Mr. Lu from the new Ministry of Works.

The original servant, Mr. Yu, Lu Shanshan's husband, has been dismissed.

Mr. Lu said: "This Guan San spent more than ten years in the Southwest Army, and then came back after being injured. Three years ago, Mr. Lu arranged to work in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry as a miscellaneous person. He is an honest man and diligent in his work. Your Excellency, Guan San identified the murderer and ran away probably because he was afraid of retaliation."

Mr. Lu also wanted to speak to Guan San.

Gu Zhouting understood in his heart that Jiang Wanning was right again.

The murderer was probably Guan San, and no one was more convenient than him to assassinate Mr. Huang.

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "There were termites in Yongshou Palace before. Who went to check it?"

"My lord, it's Mr. Lu."

Guan San was the yamen of the Ministry of Industry arranged by Shilang Lu, and the need for renovation of Yongshou Hall was also the result of Shilang Lu's verification.

This Minister Lu must also be from Concubine Sun.

This reminded Gu Zhouting of the previous case of the Ordnance Supervisor. Concubine Sun's hand might have reached out to the Ministry of War.

"Master Lu, is there anyone in the Ministry of Industry who is familiar with Guan San?"

Mr. Lu thought for a while: "Probably not. He is very lonely and likes to be alone."

"Go and ask, I need all the information about Guan San." Gu Zhouting said seriously.

Mr. Lu was thinking: Mr. Gu valued Guan San so much. Could it be that Mr. Huang's death had something to do with Guan San? How can this be?

"Yes, I'll ask you right now."
