Chapter 23

Jiang Wu looked ignorant. She raised her head and looked at Fu Heng. The man was sitting there, feeling a bit cold even if he didn't say a word.

Jiang Wu didn't blush, but was a little panicked. She couldn't help but sit up with Fu Heng's thighs, and apologized to Fu Heng tremblingly: "I'm sorry, sir, I have offended you so much..."

Fu Heng frowned, obviously in a bad mood.

Jiang Wu was even more scared.

She had seen this expression many times before, mostly when the boss said that the bonus would be halved next month.

It's a pity that she works so hard in Jinyiwei and I don't know if she has any salary.

The carriage continued to move forward, Jiang Wu propped up his chin and looked out the window boredly.

In ancient times, there were no mobile phones or wifi. The feeling she felt while riding a carriage at this moment was like riding a train when your mobile phone ran out of battery, and the person opposite you also ran out of battery.

So you can only look at each other awkwardly.

"Ahem..." Fu Heng and Jiang Wu looked away at the same time.

The two of them were just sitting awkwardly, but the carriage suddenly stopped. Fu Heng's eyebrows were raised. Before Jiang Wu could understand, his right hand had already been placed on the embroidered spring knife at his waist.

Sure enough, Zhou Xianen lifted the curtain nervously and said, "Sir, there seems to be an ambush around."

Jiang Wu:!!!

She immediately became nervous, and Fu Heng sneered: "Why are you panicking?"

Jiang Wu thought to himself, you must not panic. You have swords and martial arts. I was kidnapped two days ago and ambushed again today. I always have a damn feeling that my life is coming to an end!

But she also knew very well that if she didn't rely on these two people, she would be cold again. In order to arouse Fu Heng's sympathy, she even squeezed out two tears in a dramatic way: "Sir, later

Don’t forget me when you’re running for your life.”

Fu Heng seemed to have heard some big joke and said coldly: "Those who dare to ambush me must be prepared in advance."

"Huh? What preparations?"

——"There is no return." As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wu saw a black shadow flashing in front of his eyes. Fu Heng held a embroidered spring knife in one hand and looked at the people outside. She almost didn't see him.

what happened.

Through the curtain, she saw the Xiuchun knife making a beautiful turn in the air. Fu Heng stepped on the horse and flew into the air while slicing the opponent's neck with the knife. He was not wearing Feiyu clothes today, but his robe was still the same.

A bloody arc spreads out in the cold sun.

Lu Shanen cooperated very well with him. Jiang Wu was afraid that the enemy would use bows and arrows, so he crouched down in fear.

The wind picked up, and the sharp Xiuchun knife was stained with a bloody cold color, and was wrapped in mist and fine snow. Although there were only two people on their side, they were not at a disadvantage when fighting with more than a dozen people on the other side.

Jiang Wu was a little worried at first, but after watching it for a while, he felt that it was no longer necessary, and even yawned out of boredom.

A quarter of an hour later, Fu Heng stepped onto the carriage again and was a little surprised to see Jiang Wu squatting.

"Why don't you sit down?"

Jiang Wu was embarrassed to say that she was timid, so she pressed her waist and said that her back hurt after sitting for a long time.

Fu Heng seemed to be smiling, but he didn't expose her.

Jiang Wu asked cautiously: "Do you know who is behind the scenes?"

Fu Heng's eyebrows were arrogant and he didn't care much: "There are many people in the capital who want to kill me. If I have to ask clearly every time, it will only increase the trouble."

This time the carriage arrived at Zeng Mansion smoothly.

In their early years, the Zeng family did not follow the path of business, but steadfastly wanted to be officials. Although officials for several generations had low grades, they were still officials in the capital. The house they lived in was not particularly big, but it looked like

A little rich family.

Fu Heng had just fought with someone, and even if he was not injured, there would inevitably be some blood stains on his body. Therefore, before he said anything, Master Zeng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground shaking like chaff.

Jiang Wu was white, so it was impossible for him to accept Master Zeng's kneeling, so he immediately hid behind him.

Mr. Zeng trembled and said: "The commander is here to visit, and I am not able to welcome you from afar..."

Fu Heng always spoke concisely and to the point: "The matter about Zeng Wei."

Mr. Zeng's face turned pale, and he thought to himself that this matter had been brought to Jin Yiwei. When the body was discovered, the butler was sent over to express that Zeng Wei had severed ties with the Zeng family.

But of course he could only hesitantly say: "What your Excellency said is absolutely true, but Zeng Wei has broken away from the lower official, and we know very little about it."

Jiang Wu had already told Fu Heng all about Wang Jing's testimony before, so he was very scornful of Master Zeng's remarks. He put his hand on the small table and said in a scornful tone: "But I have received clear information that you are suspected of being suspected."

Murdering his own daughter."

When Master Zeng heard this, he immediately shouted that he was wronged. A man in his forties or fifties knelt down in the hall and cried with snot and tears.

Jiang Wu felt that the time was ripe, so he jumped out and said: "If you don't want to be taken back to prison and tortured, you should explain everything that happened on the day Zeng Wei returned home, down to the smallest details!"

Although Mr. Zeng was puzzled by this little girl who appeared out of nowhere, he still obeyed the instructions as the commander of the Jinyi Guards was here.

"That day Xiaowei returned home. The subordinate felt that her hanging out with a foreign man was a disgrace to the family, so he ordered her to be locked up in the firewood shed. During this time, she was given food. Even the maids in her courtyard were ordered not to go out.

It was nonsense, but at night, the nun who was responsible for looking after her said that this evil girl deceived the guard while she was not paying attention, and actually ran out again!"

"The lower official was furious, and in a fit of rage he ordered the servants to stop the pursuit and let her run if she wanted to. After that, I never saw her again."

After Master Zeng finished speaking, his eyes were filled with tears: "Your Excellency, it is unjust to regard me as a suspect! Although I don't claim to love my daughter much, I will not murder my own daughter! She has violated moral ethics time and time again, and she really deserves to be punished."

Therefore, after learning the news of Zeng Wei's death, he did not take the initiative to identify the body.

Jiang Wu discovered something was wrong: "You said...she ran away on her own initiative? But that's not right. She just returned home in the morning. If she just closed the woodshed, why did she escape again at night?"

This logic doesn’t make sense at all!

Sure enough, Mr. Zeng's face froze and he muttered: "Yes... some punishments were used, but it's all family law!"

Could it be that some of Zeng Wei's injuries were actually caused by family law? What kind of family law would it take to beat someone like this?

"Family law? What family law?"

Master Zeng said: "It's just five lashes..."

Five whips can indeed not kill anyone. If Zeng Wei were in better health, she would be able to jump around in half a month.

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true, my lord!"

However, while Master Zeng was still confessing his innocence, the housekeeper rushed in in a panic: "Master! It's not good, Master, the lady is missing!"
