Master Zeng was furious. He walked down in a few steps and slapped her hard on the face: "Evil girl! What are you talking about!"
The side of Zeng Ting's cheek that was beaten quickly swelled up. She covered her face with even more hatred in her heart: "I overheard it that night! Discuss it with your mother and say that even if your sister comes back, it will be bad."
If he loses his reputation, rather than ruining his reputation by seeking marriage again, it would be better to kill him outright!"
Zeng Ting still feels chilling when she thinks back to it. Her parents, whom she has always respected since childhood, actually secretly discussed how to kill her biological daughter.
Her heart went cold.
She had already seen through the indifference of these parents, so she wanted to take a desperate risk, hoping to have a relationship with Prince Jiang in public. She did not even dare to ask for the status of the main wife, even if she was just a concubine.
I am also willing. If I stay in the Zeng family, I don’t know who my father will marry one day.
Therefore, even though she had known for a long time that women did not have the right to choose marriage, she still wanted to give it a try, but unfortunately she failed. Jiang Lu did not fall in love with her. The last desperate courage in her life was lost in this way.
Used up.
She could no longer remember what Master Zeng said later. She only knew that she returned to the room in a daze and fell asleep.
As for the maid, I don’t know what kind of punishment she received for encouraging her to do such a heinous thing.
But Zeng Ting felt that she couldn't even control her own destiny, so how could she protect the life of a maid?
…
At this moment, Wang Jing is also being interrogated.
Wang Jing has been in jail for two days, so he knows everything and talks about it in detail. However, what he can recall most about Zeng Wei is the tenderness and kindness between the two when they get along, and he cannot remember her at all.
Something is wrong.
Jiang Wu asked him: "Then why did you say that the Zeng family killed him last time?"
Wang Jing smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid Miss Jiang doesn't understand the rules of such a so-called wealthy family."
Jiang Wu really didn't know that even if the original owner she passed through now was not the daughter of a wealthy family, how could a girl who grew up eating a hundred meals have so many rules and etiquette.
Wang Jing said: "She once told me that the Zeng family is a man-eating den, and that Mr. Zeng is a hypocrite who only cares about profits without any family affection. There are six daughters in their family, and Zeng Wei is the second to last.
The sisters before her were all married to some extremely mismatched wealthy businessmen."
Jiang Wu understood.
This is actually selling daughters in disguise. After Zeng Yuanwai gave birth to so many daughters, he also knew that with his talents as an official, he might not have any great talents. He was of low rank and had been mediocre in officialdom for many years.
There was no promotion, but he still wanted to further expand his connections and money... so he decided to target his daughter.
He has so many daughters, lining up to compete for his favor.
Although Wang Jing was not a child of such an official family, he had heard Zeng Wei talk about the Zeng family. He could not say he understood it, but he had also heard Zeng Wei talk about a few things.
There were several sisters above Zeng Wei, all of whom married to wealthy businessmen far away, and they did not carefully select a son-in-law at all. To put it bluntly, they just married off casually.
Wang Jing said: "Zeng Wei once told me that she would not end well if she went back this time, and she might never be able to see me again in this life."
Jiang Wu frowned. He couldn't meet Wang Jing in this life. If it was said that the Zeng family had a strict upbringing, and Zeng Wei had done something like having an affair with an outsider, naturally he would never be able to meet Wang Jing in this life. But considering the reality
It seems that something is wrong. Did Zeng Wei foresee something when she said this?
…
Jiang Wu has been running around in recent days, and today she went to beg Fu Heng again. She now suspects that Zeng Wei's death has something to do with the Zeng family, but they are from an official family, and she is white, so how can she be like this?
To save face, I had no choice but to ask Fu Heng.
Fu Heng didn't show much emotion after hearing this - in fact, if he wanted to follow his official authority, it would be his style to directly summon the entire Zeng family, but Jiang Wu objected.
"Sir, I'm not thinking about the Jiang family, but if the summons is made in a big way, I'm afraid it will scare off the enemy."
Fu Heng thought about it and found that it made sense, so he agreed.
Speaking of this, Jiang Wu remembered something again, "As I said last time, the murderer may have a property. I wonder how the people sent by your Excellency searched it?"
Although she is a forensic scientist by profession, she is a graduate of the police academy after all. She was top-notch in all subjects when she was in school, and modern criminal investigation technology is much higher than in ancient times.
In fact, assuming that this case was in modern times, so much effort would not have been required. The murderer used a lot of torture techniques when killing Zeng Wei. If fingerprints could be tested, then a comparison would come out.
Fu Heng said: "No."
Jiang Wu sighed. Thinking about it, she had only guessed the general scope and characteristics of the property, but it was a waste of time to get specific.
What's more, the distance from Li's Mansion to Qingyang Mountain is dozens of miles. According to Jiang Wu's request, it is necessary to find a single-family house with a small courtyard. The terrain is relatively high. It should be a house built in the past two years.
too difficult.
Because we were doing things in secret, we didn’t take too many people with us. Anyway, Fu Heng’s face and official uniform were his passport, so the only people traveling with him were her, Fu Heng and Zhou Xianen.
The three of them sat in a carriage, Zhou Xianen sat in the front, and Jiang Wu and Fu Heng sat inside.
The winter wind was biting and the road was muddy and difficult to navigate. The carriage had not been repaired for an unknown period of time. Halfway through, one of the wheels got stuck in the mud.
"Be careful." Jiang Wu couldn't control her body and tilted, but it didn't hit Fu Heng. Instead, she hit the wall of the carriage, causing stars to pop out of her eyes.
Fu Heng remained motionless, like an old monk in trance. Jiang Wu touched his red and swollen head and glanced back at Fu Heng unhappily.
She felt that this gentleman might not be too unloved by his colleagues.
You could have caught her just now, but even if you didn't catch her, what do you mean by leaning back and avoiding her?
But Jiang Wu didn't dare to argue with him, so she could only sit upright in frustration. Fortunately, she was very poor and had no money to buy those hairpins and red hairpins, otherwise if she bumped them, they would hit her forehead directly.
The result was that it was dead. It was okay when the wheels were crooked, but when it was pulled out of the mud, the carriage fell in the other direction——
This time Jiang Wu "got his wish" and fell on Fu Heng like a dog eating shit!
"What are you talking about?" Fu Heng was very impatient.
Jiang Wu:???Did I do it on purpose?
Just at this time, Zhou Xianen opened the curtain and reported that the carriage had been repaired.
...As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw the commander sitting in the middle with his arms folded and a sullen face, while the new kid was leaning against the commander's thigh with a grin on his face.
