If he wanted to seriously discuss this issue with Fu Heng, Fu Heng actually didn't know why he would do this.
He always does things as he pleases, and everyone in the world calls him domineering, but he is not actually domineering. If he wants to change a more appropriate sentence, it should be flamboyant.
Therefore, Fu Heng just said lightly: "The ground is muddy, I'm afraid you might get your shoes and socks wet."
Jiang Wu was silent for a long time, and then asked from his soul: "Then why didn't you hug me when you went up the mountain? My shoes and socks are already dirty now."
At this time, the two of them had already walked down the mountain. Fu Heng also put the person down. He crossed his arms and suddenly said: "Why aren't you shy?" Just now, he actually said so naturally whether to hug or not. It was thanks to him.
If it were anyone else here, I'm afraid Jiang Wu might be implying something.
Unlike him, justice is awe-inspiring.
Jiang Wu raised her eyebrows, feeling that Fu Heng had taken the wrong medicine today. She also said confidently: "Why are you so shy? In public, is it possible that others can come up with some unwarranted plot? Besides, Jin Yiwei is here.
Don’t all your brothers know that I am your subordinate? This is called humanitarian care.”
Wait a minute, is that last word used strangely?
Fu Heng glanced at her, and finally snorted coldly: "A child cannot be taught."
After several people went down the mountain, Father Yang and Mother Yang slowly recovered from their sadness. Mother Yang cried: "Are you sure that my son was really poisoned to death?"
Jiang Wu nodded.
Mother Yang immediately beat her chest and feet, sat on the ground and cried loudly: "My son! My son has offended someone!"
Father Yang was also wiping tears at the side. Suddenly, Father Yang’s knees softened and he knelt down in front of Jiang Wu with a "Plop-" sound: "Sir, please give justice to my son. He has worked hard to study for more than ten years.
, and finally died in the first month before Spring Festival, this is unfair!"
It is indeed unfair. If it is true as Fu Heng said, Yang Zhong died because he was too knowledgeable and was targeted. They were afraid that if he took the exam, he would be among the best and block others' way.
Jiang Wu's heart became heavy and he ordered the Jinyi guards to take care of the tomb. He, Fu Heng and others returned to the capital first to investigate Yihongyuan.
It was here that Yang Zhong died.
After two years, the hope is actually quite slim. Let’s not talk about anything else. If we had checked the poison immediately when the crime occurred, there might still be some clues. If we check again after two years have passed, 80% of the time we will not be able to find out the poison.
What did it come from?
When they finally returned to the capital after a long journey, it was getting dark. After all, the capital was a big place and there were many brothels, such as Pingkangfang, Yihongyuan, and Zuichunlou. Among them, Pingkangfang
is the largest, and Yihongyuan is the smallest.
Among the many brothels in Beijing, Yihongyuan is even a bit underwhelming.
Jiang Wu was about to walk into the building. He just took two steps forward and was pulled back by Fu Hengti's collar. Jiang Wu turned around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Fu Heng looked at her up and down, "Since the incident two years ago, Yihongyuan has not allowed women to enter."
Jiang Wu was a little confused, "Isn't it okay if I'm here to investigate the case?"
Fu Heng looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "But you have to remember clearly. If this case is really related to the imperial examination, you can't alert the snake. Or don't you go tonight?"
Jiang Wu's intuition was bad. Song Qi had entrusted her with this case. It would be too bad for her to give up her job now. "What should we do?"
…
At the beginning of the lanterns, Yihongyuan opened on the bank of the Huai River, and there was a bustle of people coming and going. The madam wore exaggerated eye makeup, and her enchanting posture was holding guests at the door. When she took a look, a tall man came over there.
Wearing a black brocade robe, although I couldn't recognize his face, I knew he was a young man from a wealthy family. Next to the young man, there was...a strange man wearing a hood.
The strange man was much shorter than him. He was wearing a black cloak and a hood. His whole body was covered so tightly that even his face could not be seen clearly.
The madam was stunned for two seconds, then stepped forward and said with a smile: "You two young masters, what are you wearing?"
The short man huddled in the cloak buried his head lower, while the other tall handsome young man said: "This is my young brother. He came to see the world today. The family is a little stricter, so he put it on."
Take off your hood."
The madam suddenly showed an "understood" expression.
She smiled and said: "Then you are really in the right place. Our Yihong Courtyard is here, and the custodian will tell your little brother to open his eyes! Xiaohong, come and greet the distinguished guests!"
The maid named Xiaohong immediately led the two of them directly to the private room on the second floor. When the man wrapped in the cloak arrived in the private room, no one was around, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She asked in a low voice: "No one can see me here, right?"
Fu Heng said lightly: "No."
So she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately pulled back her hood, revealing a cute little face. This person was none other than Jiang Wu. She was at the gate of Yihongyuan just now, because she didn't have time to go back and disguise herself as a woman, not to mention that Jiang Wu didn't think that
She had such superb disguise skills, so she could only buy a hood. As for the cloak... it was actually Fu Heng's cloak, but because it was too big for her, it could basically be used as a cloak.
Jiang Wu took a sip of the tea on the table and asked again: "Although we are hiding in this way, how can we know the situation at that time without alerting the enemy?"
Just as he was talking, a maid opened the door and walked in. Jiang Wu was startled, and subconsciously wanted to grab a hood and put it on, but the maid just glanced at Jiang Wu without much surprise on her face.
I was completely confused, thinking whether I should pretend or not?
But the maid spoke up: "Girl, there is no need to panic. Although girls are not allowed to enter here, there are many official ladies who join in the fun every day and follow their brothers. As long as nothing happens, it will be fine."
Jiang Wu nodded in confusion, thinking that you are quite knowledgeable.
The maid looked at Fu Heng again and said, "Master, since you have a female family here, how about I ask someone to play the piano for you two?"
Fu Heng nodded.
The maid then withdrew. Fu Heng looked back and saw that Jiang Wu was choking to the point of rolling his eyes because he had eaten too many pastries.
Jiang Wu drank half a pot of tea before she could barely swallow it. She waved her hand and said, "Sir, you don't know, this pastry looks delicious, but it's terribly greasy."
Fu Heng sneered: "You ate too much yourself, why do you blame the cakes?"
Jiang Wuli was not straightforward and strong, "The food is for people to eat! Wouldn't it be better if I eat it faster? If it is not so greasy, I won't be able to choke."
