Chapter 1059 Wei Jingtong, the prefect of Lancheng
Pingzi felt very strange because he saw the lady and her lame husband last night. Why did the lady disappear after a night?
There was also the wife of the official and her party, and it seemed that she had a maid missing.
But he didn't care too much. Maybe he had already got off the boat when he asked about the bracelet, but he didn't see it.
Although I vaguely felt that it was not the case, after all, the guests had not been allowed to get off the boat at that time, but after thinking about it, there was only one possibility.
People can't disappear out of thin air. They must have left before he was careful.
Pingzi sighed, closed the hatch door, and soon forgot about this matter.
At this time, Bai Heran had already pretended to be a maid Xiaoju. The winter snow that came quietly on the boat last night was dressed as a pearl cloud. The two followed Mo Yu, who was pretending to be a member of the member, and were whispering in a low voice.
Jun Mulin had already got off the boat, his face had changed again, and his legs were restored to good condition by Bai Heran.
The two of them are both Lancheng Guard Mansion, but Baihe is in the light and Jun Mulin is in the dark.
When Mrs. Yuanwai and her party got off the boat, the boatmen actually looked forward to it, because she was very generous along the way, and she would give her some things from time to time. The boatmen who brought her water and food every day would get some rewards of some money.
Now that I have arrived at the destination, if nothing unexpected happens, Mrs. Yuanwai will definitely receive a reward when she gets off the boat.
So people are waiting and expecting.
Unfortunately, no one rewarded the wife of the official, and no copper coins were thrown out, and the three of them all had stern faces, as if they were very angry.
The boatmen were puzzled and were disappointed that they had not received the reward, but they did not dare to express their unhappiness, let alone speak more.
After all, I have arrived at the Lancheng situation. The Lancheng prefect is the real brother of Mrs. Yuanwai. Who dares to provoke him?
So the boatmen were only wondering why she was angry?
Could it be that it has neglected others and made them unhappy?
Bai Heran and the other two went to the pier, stood on the shore and looked around, but they hadn't seen anyone come after looking for a long time.
Moyu was very angry: "What's going on with brother?
I know that I am in Lancheng today, why don’t I send a car to pick me up?
Humph, why didn’t you even ignore me, a girl?”
After saying that, he turned around and called a boatman, "You go to Lancheng Mansion for me and tell my brother that I have arrived and asked him to send a car to pick him up quickly."
After saying that, he wanted to touch the silver to reward her. The boatman started to laugh when he saw that she had the reward. Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, he found that Mrs. Awaited to find nothing.
Mo Yu sighed, "Go and call someone. If you call someone, you will naturally receive rewards. My brother will not be stingy."
The boatman didn't know why, so he told the boss whereabouts and trotted into the city.
Another boatman brought a chair to ask her to sit down. Moyu sat down without hesitation, but the anger on her face still did not fade.
Someone noticed that one of Mrs. Man Wai's hand was huddled in her sleeves, occasionally revealing a small piece, as if it was wrapped in a white cloth, as if it was injured and bandaged.
I couldn't help but feel nervous, thinking that if I was injured on my own boat, would the prefect of Lancheng blame them?
I will return in two days, and it will be difficult to deal with if something happens.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the boatman who reported the news finally came back, and he came back in a carriage.
He sat with the driver outside the carriage, and followed another carriage behind him, which was obviously much larger and more gorgeous than the one in front.
Bai Heran heard someone whisper: "That's Lord Wei's car. I think it's Lord Wei who came to pick up his sister in person."
Both carriages stopped at the dock, and the boat jumped down when it arrived at the dock, ran to Moyu and replied: "Madam, the magistrate has arrived in person."
After saying that, he retreated, but looking at his expression, he probably didn't get a reward.
Moyu stood up from the chair and looked at the person who came out of the carriage behind him with an angry look on his face.
From the clothes, you can tell that the one who was the prefect Wei was right, because the brother and sister still look a bit similar, so it is not difficult to recognize.
Moyu raised one hand and wiped it on his eyes. Tears instantly flowed out, and the circles of his eyes turned red.
He spoke again, his voice hoarse, and he burst into tears while talking: "Brother, I thought I would never see you again. Brother, you have to make the decision for me!"
She covered her face with both hands, and then people realized that Mrs. Yuanwai's right hand had indeed been bandaged.
Wei Jingtong, the prefect of Lancheng, stood in front of Moyu with a frown and stared at Moyu for a long time. Just when Bai Heran and others almost thought that their disguise had not deceived him, he finally spoke: "Stop crying, get in the car first."
An accompanying official commander helped Bai Heran and his party onto the carriage, and Wei Jingtong also got on. The two carriages turned around and entered Lancheng. The boatmen on the shore breathed a sigh of relief.
The boat boss asked the boatmen: "What's going on with Mrs. Uncle?"
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know. The boss of the boat wiped his sweat. In the middle of winter, he was scared and sweaty.
I don’t know how the wife of the Inspector was injured, but it seems that the Prefect Wei did not intend to pursue the matter. I hope they would not be able to bear the responsibility.
Two carriages came, but the people who returned were crowded in one carriage, and the other carriage ran back in vain.
Moyu is accompanied by Bai Heran and Winter Snow, and opposite is the prefect of Lancheng, Wei Jingtong.
Of course, Wei Jingtong didn't know who the three people on the other side were. He was just constantly looking at his girl and the two maids around her.
Moyu was unhappy, “Brother, what are you doing?
I came from afar and you didn't pick me up. Now that I got on your carriage, you didn't care. Look at my hand. One of my fingers is gone. Don't ask what's going on?
Everyone on the boat said that your temperament changed drastically after taking a beautiful concubine. I thought it was their nonsense, and it was true that this was true?
You were not like this before, you used to treat me well! What's wrong now?"
Wei Jingtong looked at her hand again, and although she had not spoken, her thoughts were already rolling.
The Liu family in Zhangjia Town has money, and he has known for a long time that his sister married into the Liu family. The two families have been in constant contact over the years.
My sister returns to her parents' home in Lancheng almost every two years, and he often asks people to bring some Lancheng's specialties to Zhangjia Town.
The relationship between the two siblings has always been good, and I still have my mother at home, so this family relationship can be said to be very deep.
But in recent months, he began to become unfamiliar with his sister's family little by little, and even later began to think about his brother-in-law's money, and even had the idea of seeking money and killing him.
Once this idea arose, it became out of control. He began to find various reasons to ask the Liu family for money, and even used the reason why the old lady missed her grandson to trick Yuanwai's only son to Lancheng, in order to threaten the Liu family to spend more money to feed him.
This repeated request was finally rejected by Mr. Liu. In anger, he secretly sent someone to kill Mr. Liu, and threatened his sister not to speak out, otherwise he would kill the child.
Yuanwai Liu died, and he still wanted to get the treasure house hidden outside. He remembered that his brother-in-law had mentioned the treasure house after getting drunk, and showed off his words and said that the wealth of the Liu family was hidden there.
He also knew that his brother-in-law was just an iron cockerel, and his favorite thing to do in his life was to make money and save money, and he gave all ten taels of silver into the treasure house.
So he concluded that there must be a lot of wealth in that treasure house. When his brother-in-law died, he could only start with his sister if he wanted to get the treasure house.
So he ordered his sister to come to Lancheng, and used the child as a threat. The purpose was to ask where the treasure house was located, and at the same time, he also asked his sister to press her handprint and hand over all the brother-in-law's property outside to him.
In fact, he did not have the intention to kill his sister at first. After all, he was a sister and always felt a little unbearable.
But just a few days ago, his concubine told him that he should do things thoroughly and not eliminate them, and the consequences will be endless.
He recognized Mrs. Liu as his sister, but Mrs. Liu might not be willing to forgive her brother. Everyone knows that you sent someone to kill her husband and even kidnapped her son. It would be strange if you didn't fight with you.
At that time, Mrs. Liu will instigate the old lady to make trouble with her. Not only will he lose a sister, but he may also lose his mother.
Compared to mothers, sisters are not that important.
Only by killing all three of the Liu family without doing anything can we get all the wealth of the Liu family safely.
This is what my concubine said, and he is convinced of it.
So he sent someone to find Alan and arranged the order to kill.
Alan is his man, a secret whistle sent by him to protect his sister, but unexpectedly, after a few years of protection, he ended up with a killing order.
But Alan had no choice. Although she went to protect Mrs. Liu, she was always Wei Jingtong's subordinate.
The master ordered that she could only execute it. Not only did she do it, but she had to take Mrs. Liu's fingers after the matter was completed and used to carry out documents and calligraphy, so as to successfully transfer the business of the Liu family outside.
Wei Jingtong thought about these things and had a moment of confusion in his mind. He suddenly was very surprised why his temperament changed drastically and when did this change start?
Why is his sister who has been loved since childhood now, and now he wants to kill him?
And it's just for money.
He isn't a money-loving person?
He has been the prefect of Lancheng for so many years and has never greedy for money. He has never touched any money that he shouldn't have taken. What's wrong now?
He couldn't figure it out, and his head started to hurt.
In recent months, he has had frequent headaches. When he was at home, his concubine would help him gently press it for a while, and it would get better slowly. However, no one helped him press it, so that his face turned blue and his teeth almost broke. Only then did he get through the pain.
After the pain, the previous feeling of loss disappeared instantly, and replaced by suspicion of the sister in front of me.
Why are people who are clearly dead living again?
