Chapter 184: Curiosity will make people lose heart(1/2)
After a while, Wu Xinan blinked and asked,
"How do you know this..."
After thinking about it, he changed his words.
"No, how did the Jinyiwei know this?"
Pei He replied,
"What's the difficulty... The Jinyiwei supervises all officials and industries, and the Jinyiwei knows everything behind the scenes of the people in the capital!"
Wu Xinan blinked again when he heard this.
"This... these private matters should not be leaked, right? You told me that?"
Pei Hehun said nothing,
"I am not from the Jinyiwei, so I am naturally not under the rules!"
Wu Xinan was overjoyed when he heard this, and reached out to pull his sleeve.
"Tell me everything else you know!"
When she was Wang Daniu, she liked to listen to these gossip news the most. Moreover, the production of the Jinyiwei must be a perfect person. Wouldn't you regret it if you don't listen at this time?
Pei He didn't say much anymore and just bury his head at eating food. However, Wu Xinan was still entangled. After a meal, he never took out a very interesting gossip from his mouth!
Wu Xinan pouted and came out of the restaurant angrily. When he broke up, Pei He glanced at her.
"Do you still want to hear it?"
"Think about it..."
Seeing that he seemed to have let go, Wu Xinan immediately had his eyes shiny and nodded like pounding garlic. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Pei He's mouth.
"I'll tell you later!"
After saying that, he ignored Wu Xinan with a look of disappointment and turned around and left. Wu Xinan shouted behind him,
"Keep your word, you are not allowed to forget next time!"
Pei He didn't respond, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little deeper.
After a few days here, Pei He finally brought the news.
"You ask me to inquire about the house before, and there is news..."
Pei He met Wu Xinan in the Wu family's tavern.
"Your house was originally found when Taizu established his capital in Jinling. After that, he changed hands several times. In the second year of Zhengde, he demolished the old house and rebuilt the new house. After that, he changed hands with six masters. The last master, the first one, Zhang, was named Zhang, now the right minister of the Ministry of War in the capital, and the second one, went to Fuzhou to become a mansion, and this last master..."
Pei He said suddenly,
"Dead..."
"Dead?"
Pei He nodded,
"The last master was named Wen. He was transferred from the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue to the Ministry of Revenue to the Capital Ministry of Revenue two years ago, but he had to go back to his hometown to visit relatives before taking office. His hometown is in Taizhou Prefecture..."
Pei He thought for a while and said,
"At that time, the Japanese pirates were on the shore. The ship that the Wen Yuanwailang family was on was just about to meet the Japanese pirates. The whole family had 16 people, and none of them survived. The house was transferred to the Wen clan and sold to you..."
"All dead?"
Wu Xinan's brows frowned tightly.
"In this case, won't the person I'm looking for?
Pei He replied,
"I have asked someone to go to the Wen family's hometown to find someone. Although the family of sixteen died, there are still some relatives and friends in the Wen clan who know the situation in his family..."
Paused and said,
"In addition, the Zhang family is easy to investigate. It will take some time for the one in Fuzhou to be in the capital city!"
Wu Xinan said with a smile,
"It's a good thing to have eyebrows and eyes, and it's okay to spend more time!"
At this time, the correspondence between letters is really slow, and it is very rare to have news coming so quickly. Of course, you can't be demanding to ask someone to do things. Wu Xin'an also knows the truth about the world, and said to Pei He,
"You helped me a lot, and I don't know how to thank you. Why don't you invite you to drink?"
“Eat wine…”
Pei He was slightly stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said,
"Just eat wine!"
I can't compare to your alcohol tolerance. If you get drunk, do something...
Pei He's fingers on his knees moved slightly, and said to Wu Xin'an.
"The matter has not been done yet. After the matter is done, it will be not too late for you to thank me again!"
Wu Xinan nodded and said, "She has a flaw, but Wu Sanqi's affairs are broken on the other side. The people sent by Jinyiwei have returned. It turns out that after Wu Sanqi and Xi Laiyan had a quarrel, he returned home with injuries. Xi Laiyan disappeared from the world. Her many ministers under her skirts have been searching for her for a long time, but this peerless beauty has never existed and nowhere to find any trace.
Xi Laiyan disappeared very suddenly and completely. With the ability of the Jinyiwei, he tried his best to find this person. Moreover, when Xi Laiyan was in the world, he never mentioned his master's origin. However, some people saw that her hooking method was exquisite and weird, and they guessed that she was from a small sect in the southeast. The Jinyiwei is now sending people to the southeast for investigation. It took a long time, and there would not be any news so soon.
Liu Chongjiu came to ask Wu Sanqi in person again. Wu Sanqi recalled for a long time and said,
"After so many years, I remembered it again, and then I realized that this woman had never truly loved me. When I recalled it carefully, she had never told me about her life experience. I was fascinated by her beauty at that time, and I had never asked about it..."
After saying that, it was extremely annoyed,
"I'm such a stupid guy!"
Liu Chongjiu was also very disappointed when he saw this. He thought about it and asked,
"Then think about it again... Are there any special features in her food, clothing, housing, transportation, accent customs, etc?"
Wu Sanqi thought for a long time before he said,
"I heard that she is indeed from the Southeastern accent, as for food, clothing, housing and transportation..."
After a pause, he said suddenly,
"I remembered that she carried a makeup box with her, and there was a very old collar in the bottom of her head. I asked her back then, and she said it was left by her mother. I asked her how nice it was to ask her mother again, and she looked sad and stopped talking again!"
"What does Luozi look like?"
Liu Chongjiu suddenly felt energetic. Wu Sanqi grabbed his hair and thought for a while and said dejectedly,
"I don't care about this... women's house stuff. I can't remember it after many years, but I vaguely remember it as a very ordinary robot. It seems that it has been used for many years and nothing special!"
Liu Chongjiu finally raised a little hope that had risen after hearing this. He turned around in the North Town Fushi Division dejectedly. Seeing Jin Ba and his two masters playing chess, he went over and sat next to him, sighed,
"Senior brother, this matter is difficult to deal with!"
At that moment, the news found by the Jinyiwei and Wu Sanqi told Jin Baliang all the things he said to him. Jin Baliang frowned when he heard this, and only Pei He brows moved.
"Luozi?"
He remembered what Wu Xinan gave him, why is it Luozi again?
Jin Baliang advised his junior brother to say,
"We have investigated this matter for many years, but there has been no progress. Now we have at least some news. If Xi Laiyan has appeared in the world for a while, it will naturally leave many clues. It will take some more time to find it. You have been waiting for so many years, so there is no need to hurry at this moment!"
Liu Chongjiu said with a wry smile,
"I can only think like this!"
He was cheered up and turned around and went out, but Jin Baliang looked at his thoughtful apprentice.
"What are you thinking?"
Pei He shook his head and pointed to the chess game,
"Master... If you don't think of a solution, you, the big dragon, will be cut into three pieces by me..."
Jin Baliang was shocked when he heard this.
"What……"
...
Liu Chongjiu's head was pursuing Xi Laiyan without mentioning it, and Wu Xinan lived a peaceful life. Now she practiced martial arts with Luo Yuandao, but she didn't have to ask her husband to learn literature. The old Taoist priests were both literary and martial, and could teach Wu Xinan. She was diligent and did not need anyone to supervise her. She practiced diligently in the morning and evening every day, and she worked very hard.
The new house of Wu's family was also bought, but it was in Anfufang in the inner city, not too far from the Ministry of Justice. Wu Hongwen was very convenient to go up and down the yamen, but the price of this house was very high. Xiao Cheng came back to see the house and grinned at his children.
"That house is much worse than that of the house in Hangzhou, even the house in Nanjing. In the future, our family will probably be crowded together!"
Now that the children of the family are growing older, they also know that it is not easy to be in charge and that it is not easy to live in the capital. Wu Yuanzhen glanced at Wu Xin'an and said to Xiao Cheng,
"Mother, it's okay for my daughter to live in the same place and squeeze her. My elder sister must leave a yard for her!"
In the past two years, Wu Xin'an's two girls are not as hostile to her as before. However, Wu Yuanzhen's words are not so intimate between the sisters. But they are all afraid of Wu Xin'an, and Xiao Cheng's frequent reminder to not have a rift with her elder sister. Wu Yuanzhen was afraid that living with Wu Xin'an would cause trouble. At that time, I am afraid that Xiao Cheng and Wu Hongwen will not favor them. It would be better not to provoke her!
Xiao Cheng nodded,
