Chapter 138 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
Living in this world, there are always things that cannot be achieved.
What's more, he has such a paranoid personality.
If he asked her at this moment if she was willing to give up her loyalty to the Queen, she would definitely not be willing.
Even if it is to complete the mission, we cannot lose our humanity.
Moreover, if Wei Xuanzhi really gave up the person he had trusted since childhood for a woman he had only known for a few months, then he would not be him and would not be worthy of being her male lead.
From that night on, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention anything about what would happen after they returned to Beijing.
Now that the case in Chuzhou has been almost sorted out, it's time to return to Beijing.
But when Yingsi packed up her things and prepared to leave, a new case arose at the government office.
To be precise, it is also an old case.
"Sir, one of the imprisoned family members is a young master of the Feng family. He has brought up an old case. Should we report it as well?"
The guard who came to report asked.
At that time, Yingsi and Wei Xuanzhi were having their last meal in Chuzhou.
Hearing this, both of them looked up at him.
"What old case?" Wei Xuanzhi asked.
The factory official hesitated for a moment and replied, "The Gu family's treason case that caused a sensation in Chuzhou back then."
Yingsi's action of picking up food paused, and she immediately looked at Wei Xuanzhi's expression.
He blinked his eyelashes and put down his chopsticks.
"go on."
"Feng Hai said that his father was involved in the Gu family's case. The date of the bill he submitted at that time was a little inconsistent, and the handwriting was sloppy, which was very different from Gu Chengze's own handwriting."
"But at that time, the case of the prefect of Chuzhou was urgent, and the emperor was also angry, so he had to hastily sign the signature of the case closed."
There was a stern look in Wei Xuanzhi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"There is evidence."
The factory envoy replied, "Feng Hai said that his father was used to write an investigation record for every case he was involved in, marking all the processes at the time of the crime and the part he was involved in, but the evidence is gone. At that time, all the evidence passed through the hands of the governor and was then presented to the current prime minister to report to the emperor."
Yingsi pursed her lips and asked, "Is the current prime minister the same as Li Taiwei back then?"
Wei Xuanzhi glanced sideways and answered on behalf of the factory envoy: "Yes."
So she hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is it possible that this case was between the prefect of Chuzhou at that time and..."
"Impossible." Wei Xuanzhi said firmly.
"At that time, Li Taiwei not only supervised Chuzhou, but also four prefectures including Lianzhou. He had no reason to conspire with the governor of Chuzhou to frame a businessman who posed no threat to him."
Knowing that he had his beliefs, Yingsi was not in a hurry to tell him the truth.
He nodded and stopped talking.
The factory manager was still waiting for an answer, but Wei Xuanzhi said in a deep voice, "Have you got the investigation records that Feng Hai mentioned?"
The factory manager nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to get it."
Wei Xuanzhi nodded slightly, brushed aside his clothes and stood up.
"The day of returning to Beijing will be postponed."
Yingsi raised an eyebrow: "I don't mind."
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her and left the inn with the factory envoy.
A couple who were looking out at the door saw him coming out, and the woman shouted in surprise.
"This lord!"
Wei Xuanzhi paused and turned around.
It turned out to be Yingsi’s mother.
Mrs. Fang pulled the man forward.
"Sir! We have seen him before. That day at ..."
Thinking of the tears he shed that night, Wei Xuanzhi frowned.
"What's the matter."
Madam Fang was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "We...we want to meet Ruo...we want to meet Miss Yingsi. Her father hasn't met her yet."
After saying that, the man next to him raised his head.
Wei Xuanzhi's eyes flashed with surprise.
The man's pupils were an unusual dark blue, and his facial features were deep. Although he was wearing local clothes, he was obviously not a local.
When Madam Fang saw him looking at her husband, she explained, "Her father was from the outer court, and she came here with her mother to settle down when she was a child."
Wei Xuanzhi nodded and winked at the factory envoy, who then returned to the inn to inform Yingsi.
If she didn't want to see him, Wei Xuanzhi had no intention of forcing the two of them to meet.
After a while, Yingsi followed the factory envoy out.
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her and said calmly: "If you go out, take someone with you."
After that, he turned and left.
Yingsi glanced at the direction he left, then turned to look at Madam Fang, and...
"Is this my dad?"
Seeing that she had the same doubts as the gentleman just now, Mrs. Fang explained it again.
Master Fang also took the initiative to speak: "Ruoruo, I am your father."
The accent is almost the same as that of the locals, and if you only listen to the voice, you can hardly tell that he is a foreigner.
Yingsi glanced at the two of them and asked directly, "What do you want from me?"
Mrs. Fang knew that she was bothered by what happened that day, so she just said she wanted to take her home to have a look.
Yingsi refused without hesitation, "I said we don't need to keep in touch anymore, and we don't need to call each other family members. We just need to live our own lives."
Mrs. Fang hesitated and seemed to find it difficult to speak, so Mr. Fang pulled her behind him.
"Ruoruo, this is it. I know you blame your parents for being unfair to you, but we are family after all. You finally found your mother, so you must want to have a home, right?"
As soon as Yingsi opened her mouth, he continued: "Family members should help each other. I heard from your mother that you are working in the palace now and are deeply loved by the nobles. Your sister is just the right age, why don't you..."
"Ha." Yingsi smiled speechlessly.
He glanced at Mrs. Fang and asked, "Do you think so too?"
Madam Fang said with some embarrassment: "I know this is difficult for you, but you have also seen that Xuanxuan is ignorant. When she saw you casually took out so much silver that day, she insisted on entering the palace. Mother is also..."
Sure enough, she is too kind.
Wouldn’t it be good to give one hundred taels to a beggar?
Quality, she is a person with quality.
After taking a deep breath, she stretched out her hand.
"Since the one hundred taels are the cause of the trouble, then return the banknotes to me. I haven't worn the dress yet, so I'll give it back to you. Just pretend we haven't seen it, and you can treat me as dead."
Upon hearing this, Master Fang became angry: "How dare you! How dare you talk to your mother like that? We are your parents after all, and you are not willing to do such a small favor for us."
Yingsi sneered: "Who allowed you to be my parents? I grew up in the capital, what does it have to do with you?"
"If we hadn't given birth to you, you wouldn't have had such a good life to work in the palace. We really gave birth to an ungrateful person. We were right to throw you away!"
Mrs. Fang was in a dilemma and wanted to say something.
Yingsi smiled silently and waved his hand, and two factory messengers came out of the inn.
"These two people are randomly claiming to be relatives. Get rid of them."
The factory envoy immediately bowed and said, "Yes."
Mr. Fang immediately showed his true colors, pointed at her and yelled at her, calling her "ungrateful bastard, unfilial daughter" and so on.
The factory manager had already stopped the two men with a knife. Yingsi made a "Pooh" sound and rushed into the inn angrily.
The two people outside the door were still quarreling. Yingsi went upstairs and took out the clothes that she had pressed down at the bottom, threw them directly out of the window, and ordered:
"Give me back the 100 taels of silver, this piece of rags is not worth a penny!"
The factory manager received the order and quickly put a knife to the two men's necks.
