Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 383 The Mysterious Jinniang

Seeing the appearance of the old man, Wang Mang smiled: "Old man, don't be nervous, we are just here to investigate, and we won't do anything to you."

At this time, the face of an old woman next to her changed, and she looked like the woman who delivered food to Jinniang this morning. She took a step back quietly and slowly backed away.

Wang Mang's eyes lit up, and he winked at Xiaotao.

Xiaotao nodded knowingly, seeing that the aunt was about to withdraw from the crowd, at this moment, Xiaotao flipped and jumped directly in front of the aunt, and the aunt was startled: "You, what are you going to do?"

Xiaotao snorted coldly: "Hiding criminals in private, you are guilty of the same crime as criminals!"

The aunt was startled, and quickly knelt down: "This official, a little girl came to the village this morning, but she doesn't look like a prisoner?"

Wang Mang and Xiaotao looked at each other, eyes lit up, and he said, "It's her, where is she now?"

The old lady faltered immediately.

Wang Mang threatened: "You are not only innocent but also meritorious if you say it now, if you don't say it, it won't be the two of us when I come next time."

The old lady faltered and said: "Yes, at the Wu family!"

Wang Mang's eyes lit up: "Lead the way!"

"Yes!"

The aunt hurriedly nodded.

Wu Si's family was not far from the entrance of the village, and Wang Mang and his party walked slowly on the road.

Wang Mang said to his aunt, "Can you tell me how she came to Xiaopu Village?"

The aunt said: "I saw her at the gate of Wu Si's house yesterday morning. She said she was very hungry, so I found some food for him."

Wang Mang nodded: "So that's the case! Then why is she in Wu Si?"

The aunt said: "Later, when Wu Si came back, he saw that Jinniang liked him very much, and he had no children, so he begged us to find someone to protect him and take Jinniang as his daughter."

Wang Mang asked with a half-smile, "Jinniang said she has no father?"

The aunt nodded: "That's what she said."

Soon, within a few minutes of talking, Wang Mang and his party had already arrived at Wu Si's house.

At this time, a woman dressed as a village girl came out of the room, it was Jin Niang.

As soon as Jinniang looked up, she saw Wang Mang surrounded by the crowd, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, and she hurried back to the house.

Before she had time to close the door, Wang Mang and the others had arrived at Wu Si's house.

Jin Niang was startled and lowered her head.

Wang Mang looked at the crowd behind him, and frowned: "Go out first!"

Soon, Wang Mang, Jin Niang and Xiao Tao were left in the house.

Wang Mang first took a look at the furnishings in the house. Although the house could not be said to be barren, there were only a few benches, tables and chairs.

Wang Mang casually found a bench and sat down, looking at Jinniang quietly: "Tell me, what is the purpose of coming here?"

Jin Niang lowered her head and said nothing.

Xiaotao walked over, patted Jinniang's head, and said softly, "But is there anything wrong with us?"

Jin Niang lowered her head like an ostrich, she shook her head lightly: "Mrs. Xiao Tao, you and Master Hou are very kind to me, but, just..."

Xiaotao persuaded softly: "Don't be afraid, speak out what you have, and we will make decisions for you."

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Jinniang rushed into Xiaotao's arms with a cry of "Wow!"

Wang Mang raised his eyebrows, Xiaotao patted Jinniang on the back lightly: "Jinniang, don't cry, tell sister if you have anything."

After a long time, Jinniang wiped her tears and raised her teary eyes: "Will you really help me?"

Xiaotao smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you have any grievances, tell my sister, I will definitely make the decision for you."

Jin Niang nodded: "The thing is like this..."

As she spoke, Jinniang described the scene in Luoyang.

Baolingtang.

In the East Wing, a maid ran in, "Is Jinniang there?"

Jin Niang came out from behind the screen, looked at the servant girl and smiled, "Xiaolan, what's the matter?"

The maid picked up a letter in her hand and handed it to Jinniang: "Jinniang, your letter!"

"My letter?"

Jin Niang was taken aback.

She didn't know many people in Luoyang, who would write to her, but she still accepted the letter: "Thank you, Miss Xiaolan."

Xiaolan smiled: "It's okay, Jinniang, then I'll go first."

Jinniang nodded.

……

Hearing this, Wang Mang and Xiaotao looked at each other and asked, "Is this why you left Luoyang, Jinniang?"

Jinniang nodded: "The letter is from my father. He said he found the family's enemy and asked me to help."

"help?"

Wang Mang frowned.

Jin Niang nodded: "That's what it said in the letter."

Xiaotao asked: "Then what happened next?"

Jin Niang said: "Later, I came to Dongyang County, and later I met you."

"Dongyang County?"

Wang Mang asked strangely, "What are you doing there?"

Jinniang said, "My father was a small official there."

Wang Mang nodded: "So that's the case. So, your father was in high school?"

Jinniang nodded slightly.

Wang Mang asked, "Then why did you come to Wuping County?"

Jinniang said: "My father asked me to come. He said that our enemy is in Wuping, and we met you later."

Wang Mang then asked, "Then why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Suddenly, Jinniang sobbed.

Xiao Tao gave Wang Mang a slight look: "Jin Niang, don't be sad, just speak slowly."

Jinniang glanced at Wang Mang, but said nothing.

Xiaotao gave Wang Mang a wink, and Wang Mang nodded slightly: "Then I'll go outside for a while first."

With that said, Wang Mang got up and walked outside.

Outside, an old man watched Wang Mang come out, "Plop!", and fell to his knees.

"My lord, what did Jinniang do?"

Wang Mang glanced at the aunt: "This is?"

The aunt said: "My lord, this is Wu Si."

Wang Mang nodded: "Get up, Jinniang did nothing wrong, she is my sister."

Wu Si raised his head: "Really?"

Wang Mang nodded: "Really, you should get up first."

After all, Wu Si finally stood up, and Wang Mang looked at the surrounding villagers and said, "Okay, my sister has found it, let's go away."

Soon, the villagers dispersed, leaving only Da Niang and Wu Si in place.

Wang Mang said: "Actually, I'm not an inspector. My younger sister ran away from home because of her playfulness. I, the older brother, came out to look for it and disturb you."

When the aunt heard this, she was shocked and said, "Aren't you from the government?"

Wang Mang glanced at Auntie and Wu Si, and said, "I can be considered."

Hearing that Wang Mang was from the government, Da Niang and Wu Si lowered their heads.

At this moment, the door opened, and Xiao Tao and Jin Niang, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, came out.

Wang Mang glanced at Xiao Tao, who nodded.

Wang Mang said: "Since my sister has been found, we won't bother you."

Auntie and Wu Si hurriedly nodded.
