When Wei Shuyi led his entourage up the stairs, the couple's "accusations" still lingered in his mind.
Half an hour ago, in the government office——
"Sir, the Zhou couple you left under your separate supervision yesterday are awake and can speak."
Wei Shuyi then went to meet the two men in person.
The person was carried out from the other courtyard in Liuke Lane yesterday.
Wei Shuyi had already verified that Chang Sui Ning was abducted to Hezhou by this couple - there was no need to go out of his way to find out, as the blood incriminating documents left in his carriage had already explained everything.
After the routine interrogation, the woman's next particularly miserable words made Changji lose control of his expression for a moment.
"...It's her, she's the one who blinded the civilian woman's eyes and injured us!"
"She took all the money and valuables from our house!"
"And sold us to Liu Ke Lane!"
"Not only that, she actually abducted our godson who we had raised for eight years!"
"And..." The dying man added: "And a donkey..."
If it weren't for this crime, the two of them would look like victims of "asking you to make decisions for the common people".
Changji: “…………”
That Chang family lady... is so brave?!
What kind of beauty is this? She is clearly more like a strong man!
It was rare for Wei Shuyi to show a hint of true emotion and exclamation.
"Sir, are you still treating me?" Seeing the imperial envoy coming out, the doctor waiting outside the interrogation room asked cautiously.
"It's just a question, so there's no need to waste the medicinal materials." Wei Shuyi left with his hands behind his hands.
These people's crimes are so heinous that no matter how many punishments and tortures are imposed on them, it is not enough to erase their sins. They are just half-treated and then thrown aside. Compared with their evil methods, they can't be more merciful.
Furthermore, it is not easy for a little girl to go out. It must be quite laborious to beat someone like this. How can he make someone work in vain?
only……
"Tell me, how did Miss Chang do it?" Wei Shuyi asked curiously.
Changji: "...I also want to know!"
Therefore, when he saw Chang Sui Ning again in the teahouse, Changji's eyes were full of surprise.
It was almost noon, and there were no customers in the teahouse, which was only for tea and snacks. On the huge second floor, only Chang Suining was still sitting in the same place.
Wei Shuyi saw the figure sitting by the window at a glance.
The figure turned to look at him, his eyes still calm, and he stood up calmly: "Shilang Wei."
Chang Suining deliberately reminded herself to get up. In the past, she had not had the habit of actively talking and greeting these officials, let alone Wei Shuyi, a mere junior in her impression.
But now that she is Chang Sui Ning, she has to try to get used to it.
Although the two had met twice, this was the first time that Wei Shuyi saw the Chang family lady up close.
When I saw this, I thought it was quite unusual.
For example, although she stood up at this time, she did not give him any feeling of greeting——
She is younger than him, and her stature is not comparable to that of an adult man like him. In terms of status, he is a court official and she is a boudoir girl, but for some reason, she does not seem to be on the weaker side in a literal sense.
These subtle auras cannot be faked or concealed.
Just because he has always been a picky person, and pickiness often comes from his perception of things being more acute than ordinary people——
Wei Shuyi felt more and more strange in his heart, and without any emotion on his face, he raised his hand with a smile: "I hope you'll forgive me for keeping Mrs. Chang waiting for so long."
"It's not too late before noon as I promised." Chang Suining looked at him: "It's understandable that Minister Wei is busy with official matters."
Facing those eyes, Wei Shuyi felt more and more curious.
To put it bluntly, he is not arrogant. He became famous at a young age, and his family background, appearance, talents and academic talents are all there. He has never been the kind of person who is excellent without knowing it. However, as long as he can remember, he has been praised and praised overwhelmingly.
He was noisy, but he couldn't help but not realize it.
Therefore, the aura was here. When he was talking to people face to face, he had never seen such calm eyes on any girl's face - no admiration, no compliments, no curiosity, or even no interest.
Wei Shuyi didn't feel disappointed, but felt relieved.
The smile in his eyes became a little deeper: "Since it's already noon, why not go to the restaurant across the street and talk about it. I wonder what Madam Chang wants?"
Chang Suining thought for a moment and then nodded.
The two of them left the teahouse and headed across the street.
The restaurant business here is quite good, and the lobby is already full of diners. The waiter directly led Wei Shuyi and his party to the private room on the second floor.
This was arranged in advance - Chang Sui Ning knew it in his heart.
But, how could Wei Shuyi have expected that she would definitely agree to come here?
Well, although it can be explained by being prepared, she... will definitely agree.
After all, when the conversation is over and we go back to the other courtyard, we will probably have nothing to eat.
Just sitting in the teahouse, I could already smell the aroma of the food in this restaurant.
After ordering the food, Changji and Ache went to watch outside.
Looking at the young boy, thinking about the deeds of the Chang family's wife, Changji hesitated again and again, and finally asked in a low voice -
"Little brother, were you... coerced?"
Ah Che was puzzled: "What kind of coercion?"
"Follow Madam Chang -" Changji motioned for him to lower his voice: "Are you being coerced?"
"?" Achen looked at him with a look that said, "What the hell are you talking about, brother?" and became visibly worried, fearing that his words would reach his girl: "Brother, be careful what you say, the girl is...
My savior..."
"..." Changji nodded, then silently closed his mouth.
In the elegant room, while waiting for the food to be served, Wei Shuyi handed a jade pendant to Chang Sui Ning.
Chang Suining recognized this object at a glance.
"This was found from the person of that Tuesday Shuan. It is said to be the property of Mrs. Chang."
Chang Sui Ning nodded lightly.
It's hers.
It was left to Ah Li before she left the capital.
Has Ah Li always carried it with him all these years?
She took it and held it in her hand, as if she could still see Ah Li's innocent face.
"For this trip to Hezhou, Mr. Wei really wants to thank Mrs. Chang."
Wei Shuyi's warm and sweet voice interrupted Chang Suining's thoughts: "What does Wei Shilang want to thank me for?"
"There are two reasons why I need to express my gratitude." Wei Shuyi said with a smile: "First, Mrs. Chang gave me those confession papers, which really helped a lot. If not for this, Wei's mission to Hezhou would not have been possible.
So smooth.”
Chang Sui Ning was slightly startled: "You saw me that day——"
The man smiled and said nothing, but he acquiesced.
Chang Suining: "..."
She said that the other party had found the "Chang family's wife" just because he said he had found the "Chang family's wife". It turned out that she had already left an impression on him when she hid in his carriage.
It’s just...he knew someone had sneaked into his car, and he just watched like that?
What's wrong with this man?
She couldn't help but think of the many cries and helpless sighs written by her old friends in the letters——
She rarely returned to Beijing when she was young, so she didn't know exactly what Wei Shuyi was like when he was a child. Her impressions of him were all obtained from letters written by close friends.
Her impression of Wei Shuyi changed with the change of her friend's mentality - "My son is more beautiful than a female baby" - "My son is very smart, he is really a child prodigy" - "But he seems to be a bit talkative.
"Owe" - "This brat has made three teachers angry" - "How could I give birth to such a rebellious son?"... Even the handwriting can be seen with the naked eye, he has become irritable and no longer kind.
"But...how could Mrs. Chang recognize that it was Wei's carriage?" Wei Shuyi asked tentatively.
This is a cliche.
Chang Sui Ning's expression remained unchanged: "I didn't recognize it, so I happened to hide in. I saw that the interior of the car was very rich and noble. It must have a good background. If you happened to have some conscience, you would not stand idly by - you can't make a mistake."
It happened to be in the hands of Minister Wei."
Wei Shuyi's expression suddenly dawned: "Let me tell you, if Mrs. Chang recognized Wei's carriage, how could she not come to Wei for help?"
Chang Sui Ning remains unconvinced.
She did recognize that it was the carriage of the Wei family, but at that time she mistook Wei Shu Yi for his second uncle Wei Yu, and...she didn't know who she was at that time.
"This second thing that I want to express my gratitude to Mrs. Chang was entrusted by Gong Yu." Wei Shuyi did not dwell on the previous topic, and said at this time: "Ms. Chang got out of danger by her own strength. I
She was not able to help at all, but Mrs. Chang was still willing to go back to the capital with Wei Mou, so that Wei Mou got a favor from Mr. Yu in vain."
Chang Suining looked at him: "Why not offset the two? Just don't ask for this favor from him."
Wei Shuyi shook his head in disapproval: "How can it be so confusing and contradictory? I owe Mrs. Chang a favor, and Mr. Yu owes me a favor. Only when we calculate it this way can it be clear and clear."
Chang Suining looked at the man in front of him who was making serious calculations, and felt that this man was quite thick-skinned, and he was so honest and open-minded.
But the advantage is that he is generous and has no shortage of her flesh to eat.
Anyway, since he admitted that he owed her a favor, A Zeng didn't suffer a loss.
After all, she has never been soft-hearted when it comes to returning favors.
"I would like to ask, Madam Chang, has she ever practiced martial arts?" Wei Shuyi asked casually.
Chang Suining's eyes moved slightly.
Since Wei Shuyi got the jade pendant and met Tuesday Shuan, he must also know what she did.
Ah Li's body didn't look like someone who had practiced martial arts, but Chang Suining needed to explain what was "strange" about him, so he answered ambiguously: "It's just a little bit of influence."
"As expected of a general." Wei Shuyi smiled, wondering if he had been fooled by her, and asked some other questions. It seemed to be out of concern, but in fact he was full of curiosity and testing.
Chang Suining was a little tired of dealing with it, and he rolled his eyes in his heart. Fortunately, the food was quickly brought over and his mouth was finally blocked.
