Wishful Things

Chapter 333

The close attendant sighed again: "thank you for reporting this matter to Lord Ji..."

"This..."

The chief officer looked at Xia Shoufu with a tired face and said, "I hope your excellency Shoufu will mourn..."

Then he hesitated and said, "just... I don't know if we can go and simply check one or two? I'm on business. I don't mean to offend. If I offend you, I hope the chief assistant will forgive me..."

Although I don't know how to be flexible, I may offend the Xia family, but if I perfunctory and careless, I can't explain to my adults. And in case of any omission, he can't afford it.

"There's nothing wrong with acting according to the rules."

Xia Tingzhen's expression didn't change. She just calmly asked him to come close and say, "lead the way -"

In response, he made a "please" gesture to several officers: "please follow me."

The official saluted Xia Tingzhen and soon followed him.

As soon as the officers left, the housekeeper came in: "sir..."

"How." Xia Tingzhen asked coldly.

"Back to the master, I woke up... But no one can say who hurt me..." so I didn't do a good job and let ziyue escape from the house, causing great trouble. The big housekeeper's tone at this time was very weak: "I only found this behind their necks, please have a look..."

Xia Tingzhen looked up slightly.

The middle-aged man held several very thin silver needles in his hand.

"It can be inferred from this that the master may be hiding in the dark and sneaking attacks with this needle..." the big housekeeper whispered: "this man obviously came to the purple moon."

Xia Tingzhen's eyes darkened.

Then he asked in a deep voice, "can you find out about Miss Zhou?"

"When I returned to my master, I found some... Miss Zhou has been with four girls for many years, but in recent years... She has been quite close to the girls in the Shangshu mansion of the Ministry of war."

Xia Tingzhen's eyes showed a cold smile.

Jixiu's only daughter——

In other words, Ji Xiu used the same method twice!

But who let him raise such a pair of evil obstacles in his family and send the handle to those who stare at him for nothing

These debt collecting things are, indeed, worthy of death!

Considering that many troubles in the past half a year began with the second son's case, and it was not easy for him to suppress those influences, now the youngest daughter has caused such a disaster

Xia Tingzhen pursed her green lips and pressed down the churn at the bottom of her heart.

Seeing that he raised his hand to press the temple, the housekeeper quickly helped people to sit down in the chair.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? Would you like to invite a doctor to have a look?"

Xia Tingzhen took a long time to spit out a foul breath.

"No need."

In the end, I'm old. I've never experienced any big storms in the past. In contrast, the gains and losses at the moment are nothing at all.

But Ji Xiu... Can't stay any longer!

……

Beijing yamen? Ji Dong looked at the yellow sky outside the hall again and couldn't help frowning slightly.

He had chosen to start the class before. He thought he had too much breakfast.

Now? But I still feel like I'm eating less.

He hasn't eaten all day? I'm sitting here drinking tea!

But those people watching the excitement? I can't even share the joys and hardships with him - that's the ones who are crowded in the front and eating steamed bread and baked cakes!

That child is even more outrageous. What he holds in his hand is a shiny chicken leg? And one? Take turns gnawing... What are the conditions at home? The one with the gold leaf?

Feeling the tumbling in his stomach, adult Ji can't sit still.

I was thinking of going back to eat, but I heard a stir outside the hall? Look up? I saw that the official sent to Xia's house had returned.

"Xia girl still didn't come..."

"Is it difficult for the Xia family to cover up?"

“……”

The people who had been waiting to see the excitement whispered.

The chief official came to Jidong quickly? He whispered two words.

Ji Dong's look has changed? "Are you sure you haven't read it wrong?" he asked in a low voice

"My subordinates never admit their mistakes? That's Miss Xia Si." the official looked determined.

After all, was Xia Si girl chased and beaten by birds on Xiyi street that day? It happened that he didn't have to be on duty that day. He also took his daughter-in-law and children to see it.

But

It is obvious from the scars on the neck whether it is hanging itself.

But this kind of thing, doesn't it have to be? After all, people are dead.

Ji Dong also knows what to do.

He's just handling a case? Has offended many people in the invisible? Is this the case? It doesn't make sense to have to find out how people die.

A moment later, he clapped his hands heavily.

There was a sudden silence inside and outside the hall.

Ji dongsurong said, "according to the investigation, the four girls of the Xia family have committed suicide. This is the end of the court trial today? Those involved in the case will be judged and dismissed on another day -"

The unexpected news made the pot boil.

“……”

Zhou Zhen, who was still sitting in the compartment, suddenly widened his eyes.

Xia Xi... Killed herself?!

How is this possible

What kind of person Xia Xi is, she thinks it's clear. How can such a person have the courage to commit suicide?

Or

Thinking of a possibility, Zhou Zhen only felt that his whole body was cold to the bone.

Xia Xi died like this

Then, she doesn't have to worry about whether there will be any changes in this case, and Xia Xi will retaliate against her.

But at this time, she could not say whether to relax more or fear and fear more.

At this point, she really found that in front of those real cold-blooded means and calculations, her little thoughts were too small, too whimsical and smart.

Xia Xi's identity, and she said she died

What about her?

But if you take the wrong step, your luck is a little worse

Zhou Zhen sat there stiffly, motionless, and even forgot to blink.

"Miss Zhou?"

The Yamen servant on one side raised his voice and shouted.

One of Zhou Zhen's spirits revived and looked at him in a daze.

"As your excellency said, Miss Zhou testified hard today. Now the case is over, and Miss Zhou can go back."

Zhou Zhen nodded slowly: "thank you..."

When she got up, she found that her legs were soft because of long tension.

She moved very slowly. When she went out, the people outside the hall were almost scattered.

Therefore, she saw the familiar face at a glance.

The tall and fat boy was looking at the direction of the hall. Seeing her coming out, he quickly waved to her: "big sister!"

Zhou Zhen immediately felt his eyes hot and walked towards him.

"It's all right. Don't be afraid. Brother is coming to pick you up." the boy patted his sister on the shoulder comfortingly. "Let's go home."

Zhou Dan pulled his sleeve, went out of the Yamen and got on the carriage.

"Brother, when did you come? Why didn't I see you..."

Inside the car, Zhou Zhen asked in a hoarse voice.

"I've been here for some time. There were so many people before that I couldn't squeeze in front." Zhou Zhi sighed and said, "sister, you scared my mother and me this time. Fortunately, it's safe."

"It's all my fault..." Zhou zhe lowered his head and tears fell from his eyes.

Her brother had advised her before. She also thought that he was too stupid to make progress. Now think about it, she is the stupidest one!

"Father... Do you know?" asked the girl. Her voice was lower and she had an irrecoverable fear.

My father is always strict

And this time she was involved in such things, which would certainly bring trouble to her father.

Sitting in the compartment, she thought that she had offended the Xia family by testifying this time. What if the Xia family made a trip for her father in the future?

"Don't worry, my father didn't blame you. My father said, as long as you tell the truth in court and don't give false testimony." Zhou Zhi said, "as for the matter of chaotang, my father always knows, and you don't have to worry too much."

Zhou Zhen was stunned.

Then, I couldn't help it any more. Suddenly, I burst into tears and rushed into my brother's arms.

"Brother, I'm wrong!"

She's really stupid!

Blindly chasing those things that don't belong to you at all, because you can't reach them at all, you have to stretch out your hand to get them. You have to start tiptoe. If you can't get them when you jump up, you will put the original security pad on your feet and change them. Step by step, you will be dazed, and you don't even realize that you have fallen into it!

She really knew she was wrong!

Listening to his sister's cry, the boy comforted him softly.

The girl's face was in a mess and her voice was hoarse.

I was so tired that I choked and stopped.

After wiping the mess off her face, the girl's nose moved.

"... how does it taste like marinated meat?"

Zhou Zhi coughed softly and said, "I didn't know when I could leave the hall. I was really hungry, so I asked ah GUI to buy some food..."

The eldest sister now dislikes him for eating too much all day. He doesn't dare to let go of eating in front of her.

But before the meeting, the girl's eyes began to search in the car and asked, "is it Xu Ji's stewed beef? Did you buy Shaobing?"

"Ah... It's Xu Ji's, and the stewed pig's feet... I've also bought Shaobing. It's here!"

The boy took things out of the bamboo basket under him.

Zhou Zhen took the oil paper bag, took a bite of the pastry, tore a piece of fragrant stewed beef and sent it to the import.

Looking at this long lost scene, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be happy: "how about it? Is it delicious?"

The girl nodded again and again.

"Well, it smells good!"

She was stupid before!

Don't put so many delicious things, just do those stupid things!

They all say that people can't be hungry. They become stupid when they are hungry. That's true.

"Brother, what delicious food do you buy in the future? Remember to bring me one!"

"Ha ha, good! Big sister, you finally figured it out!"

……

The news that the four girls of the Xia family "committed suicide" soon spread in the city.

Ji Xiu, the Minister of the Ministry of war, has naturally learned about it.

At this time, Ji Xiu sat in his study and listened to his daughter.

"As soon as Xia Xi died this time, he died so disgracefully. Not only did Xia Shoufu's idea of trying to win over CaO Zhuangyuan through his marriage fall into the air, but also made the Xia family a bad name again."

Ji Wanyou said with a smile, "and in this way, the originally neutral Zhou Shilang, in order to protect himself, I'm afraid he can only tilt to his father."

Ji Xiu also had a smile in his eyes.

"Well, there are many birds with one stone. Xia Tingzhen, the old fox, is afraid to be very angry at this time."

He said, looking at his daughter in front of him with appreciation: "as a father, I didn't know that my Wan'er had such a good mind."

Unfortunately, it's always a daughter.

Therefore, he confessed: "but in the future, your daughter's family should not intervene in such matters. This time, your father will not punish you. You have a sense of propriety in your heart. This will not be an example."

His daughter's family is more or less dangerous, and he just wants his only daughter to be safe.

"My father thinks highly of my daughter. Even if my daughter wants to do it again, she doesn't have such a comprehensive plan." Ji Wanyou said, "most of this is attributable to childe Zhan. At first, my daughter was good at making suggestions and involved childe Zhan's sister... If childe Zhan didn't try to save the situation in time, how could there be such a result at present?"

Ji gave her a mixed look.

Open your mouth and shut your mouth, young master Zhan

"Wan'er, there's a word that my father still wants to remind you." Ji revised his color: "this Zhan Yunzhu has a deep plan. He's not a simple figure. You'd better pay attention in time."

His opposition to the matter has always been on his face, but even so, he can still detect his daughter's mind.

"Of course, my daughter knows that childe Zhan is not simple... But if he is really mediocre, how can he help my father?" Ji Wanyou's eyes are bright, but his voice is lower: "if he's just an ordinary person, let alone my father, my daughter won't look at him more."

Ji Xiu frowned slightly.

Why don't you cover it up?

As everyone knows, even more undisguised is still waiting for him.

"Recently, my daughter has always wanted to talk to her father about this... My daughter really thinks that Mr. Zhan is excellent and worthy of trust for life."

At the mention of such a thing, the girl half lowered her eyes and her face was slightly red.

But she didn't hesitate.

Maybe it's because I was spoiled by my father and close enough to my father, or maybe it's because I really made up my mind.

"Wan'er..." Ji Xiu sighed helplessly: "it's not dad who doesn't want to help you, but this person... I always feel uneasy. In case he turns over ruthlessly in the future and has another plan... Dad is afraid that you really pay wrong!"

"I know what my father is worried about, but as my father worried before, my daughter will get married sooner or later. In that case, did my father ever want to let Mr. Zhan... Become a burden on our Ji family? Without his father, Mr. Zhan's family is simple. If he becomes a burden, he is really tied to our Ji family, and my father doesn't have to worry about anything else."

"A burden?"

Ji Xiu looked at his daughter unexpectedly: "did he let you say that?"

Because there is only one daughter, I'm afraid she will be wronged if she marries another family. Therefore, he has the idea of recruiting a son-in-law to come to the door. He hasn't been without it before

But this is not a simple thing. We need to consider each other's family background, ability and whether they have other intentions from many aspects.
