After saying goodbye to Ning Xiu, Mingwei went to the government office again.
It was just dawn, so she waited outside for a while before she saw an acquaintance coming out.
"Lord Lei!"
When Lei Hong saw her, he was surprised and surprised: "Miss Ming, what are you..."
Mingwei saluted: "I want to see Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Wenfeng got up early. He was quite diligent as a Jing Zhaoyin. He got up to work before dawn and didn't rest until midnight.
He has a house in Beijing, but now he sleeps in the yamen to avoid commuting.
"Miss Ming, do you have something important to come so early?"
Mingwei nodded.
Jiang Wenfeng led her to his office and asked Lei Hong to guard outside.
Mingwei borrowed a pen and paper, drew what the square seal looked like, and handed it to him: "I want to find the owner of this square seal. Can you help me think of a way?"
Jiang Wenfeng took it and looked at it carefully for a while: "I seem to have some impression of this seal..."
This was a surprise. Mingwei asked quickly: "Have you seen this before?"
Jiang Wenfeng thought for a while and said: "He is my mentor. He likes to collect gold and stones very much. When I studied with him in the past, I seem to have seen something like this. But it was only once. There is no guarantee that the memory will not be wrong, and I am not sure.
Is this the one?"
"My lord's mentor is..."
"My mentor is currently teaching at Santai Academy, his surname is Fu and his name is Jin."
Fu Jin! This is a great Confucian. Although he is not an official, his reputation is very resounding. He has many disciples and old friends, all over the government and the public.
Santai Academy is not far from the capital, and it only takes a day or two to go back and forth.
"When did your Excellency see it?"
Jiang Wenfeng recalled: "I went to Santai Academy to study at the age of thirteen, and it was about thirteen or four years ago until I passed the exam."
Mingwei feels that he must go and find out about Mr. Fu. Yang Shu said that there are regulations for this button seal, so the possibility of it being in the hands of non-royal people is very small. This Mr. Fu has one in his hand.
It's just a coincidence, but it's really not enough to win people's trust.
She was still thinking about how to meet Mr. Fu. Jiang Wenfeng was keenly aware of something and asked: "Miss Ming, what's the problem with this seal? If I can help, please tell me."
It would not be appropriate for Yang Shu to go. Ning Xiu is from Jianghu. Two of her cousins, Ji Xiaowu, have already gone to Xuandu Temple, and Ji Ling is preparing for the competition. And if she goes to see him alone, there is a possibility that Mr. Fu will not show up.
It's very big. Moreover, she is a stranger and there is no way to start asking questions like this.
Mingwei said: "If you don't bother the two masters with one thing, then you will bother Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Wenfeng nodded: "If Miss Ming has something to do, I won't refuse. It's just that I need Miss Ming to give me some advice on the reason, so I know how to act."
For Jiang Wenfeng, this was really taking time out of his busy schedule to take care of her affairs. How could Mingwei not say anything? He immediately leaned over and saluted: "Excuse me, sir, this matter is related to a secret case. What is the inside story? I will tell you now."
The clues I know are also very messy, and I don’t know how to explain them at the moment. I can only tell you that the owner of this seal once visited a place three years ago and caused two lives. I need to find this person and investigate his relationship with this person.
It’s related to a murder case.”
Jiang Wenfeng was stunned for a moment: "You mean, if this seal belongs to my mentor, it is possible that he is related to the murder?"
"This is just a guess," Mingwei explained, "because the owner of the seal happened to appear at a very critical time."
Jiang Wenfeng nodded silently, thought for a moment, and said: "In this way, Miss Ming, I can help you investigate this matter. But if this seal is related to my mentor, please tell me the details of the case. As a student, no matter what
We cannot turn a blind eye to the teacher's matter, even if he is really involved in the case, I hope that I will personally verify it."
Mingwei happily agreed: "I didn't plan to hide this matter from you, but now there is too little information and it involves a wide range of things. I don't know where to start at the moment. If I talk about it, I will embarrass you. If it is really related to Mr. Fu, it must be
Tell the adults the cause and effect."
Jiang Wenfeng accepted her statement: "Then I will make preparations and go to Santai Academy while Xiu Mu is taking advantage of it. It's just that I am busy with official work and need to make time, so I have to wait for a while."
Mingwei nodded: "Master Jiang, please clarify two points. First, whether the seal really belongs to Mr. Fu, and second, whether Mr. Fu was not in Santai Academy on the tenth day of April three years ago. As for the time, anyway, that's it
I have been waiting for many years and there is no rush for this moment.”
Jiang Wenfeng thought about it in his mind: "Okay."
After making an agreement with Jiang Wenfeng, Mingwei quietly left through the back door.
Jiang Wenfeng sat in silence for a while and called softly: "Ms. Qian, I have a bad feeling. This matter may be very troublesome... Do you think I should take care of it?"
A stream of smoke escaped from his sleeve and rubbed gently on his face. A voice said: "You have the answer in your heart, why do you need to ask me?"
Jiang Wenfeng paused and laughed softly: "Yes, I really have no need to ask. I have decided to trust her and promised to help her, so I should keep my promise." His eyes fell on the smoke, softly
He said, "I just hope that she can keep her promise and let us be together for a long time."
…
When we returned to Ji's house, it was breakfast time.
Mingwei climbed over the wall and came in, just in time to hear Nanny Tong chattering to Bing Xin: "The porridge in the kitchen is gone. Could it be that Duofu ate it? This girl, no matter how much she eats, she doesn't make it again.
?What if the lady wakes up, how can we make it in time?"
Seeing Mingwei coming in from outside, he said hello: "Miss, are you up?" Then he turned back and continued, "Go and ask them to do it again. Miss will wake up later, just in time..."
At this point, Nanny Tong felt something was wrong. She turned around and was pleasantly surprised: "Miss!"
Ming smiled and said: "Have you eaten, mama? That porridge is what I ate. I'm lucky to be sleeping."
"After eating, how are you, Miss? I've been sleeping for so long, let me see if I have lost weight..."
After talking to Aunt Tong, she went next door.
The Ji family was also eating. Mrs. Ji and Aunt Tong had the same reaction. They greeted her first and then reacted, so the whole family gathered around her and asked questions.
Mrs. Dong said: "My cousin has been sleeping for a few days. She is not hungry or thin, but she is much more energetic and looks more like a fairy. What kind of panacea is this? Do you want us to eat it too?"
Ming smiled and said: "I really have some prescriptions for beauty. I'll ask Duofu to get the medicine later, and we can make the ointment ourselves. It will last a few months, and my cousin will look after her like a fairy!"
Mrs. Dong laughed: "Okay, okay, let's be fairies together."
"I want to do it too, I want to do it too!" Pearl shouted.
Mingwei touched her head: "Zhu'er is already a little fairy."
Then he looked at Mrs. Ji: "Well, my aunt is a great fairy."
Mrs. Ji wanted to laugh but was embarrassed, so she was a little shy and said, "You kid, you are talking nonsense. My aunt is already an old woman."
