Fight wits and courage with drama masters every day

Early the next morning, Shen Jue, who was overthinking and didn't sleep all night, immediately got up. Fortunately, he had slept enough during the day, otherwise he would have to go out with two dark circles under his eyes.

As for Xuan Xing, he stayed up all night arguing over official documents, washed his face with cold water, and invited Shen Jue to have breakfast together.

Shen Jue looked at his dark circles, and couldn't bear it: "Why don't you go back to sleep, and we'll go in the afternoon?"

Xuan Xing shook his head and smiled: "I'll be able to sleep with peace of mind if I finish it early."

Well, it seems that Xuan Xing is a majestic yamen, but he will be working hard.

After breakfast, the two went to the yamen. Yang Shaolin was already waiting in the yamen, and he was a little surprised to see Shen Jue coming: "Mr. Shen."

Shen Jue returned the salute, looked at the other person standing in the lobby, and asked with a smile, "Is this Wang Zilai?"

The man was suddenly named by Shen Jue, and he knelt down in a panic: "The humble king is here. I have met Lord Shang Shulang and... Mr. Shen." He hesitated for a long time before saying Shen Son three words.

Xuan Xing glanced at him: "Get up, Zhu Chunya is your wife?"

Although Wang Cilai was a little flustered, he was still stable, "Exactly."

"And when was the last time you saw her?"

"The last time I saw her was two months ago. I was originally a small captain of the city guard..."

Three months ago, Wang Zilai was still a small ten-man commander in the city's city defense army. He was on duty as usual. After changing shifts, he returned home normally, but he saw a dusty guest at home.

The wife even used the remaining monthly money to buy new tea to entertain the guests. The visitor claimed to be the boss of his brother-in-law Zhu Xiaming, who came to report the funeral at home, saying that Wang Xiaming died for the country, and gave them a sum of money, saying that he was returning from another place. There was a house that was supposed to be reserved for the elders, but since the elders passed away, the house was handed over to the elder sister who was the only survivor.

He also said that it was a war at this time, and too many deaths would cause civil turmoil. They were not allowed to talk about this matter, and they just held back this matter, and they didn't even wear mourning.

Unexpectedly, another person came a few days later, saying that he hoped that they would move to the house in Xiang'an City as soon as possible, and that he would give them a large sum of money. They were very moved by what they said, and they quickly quit their errands and packed up their things I told my neighbors that I bought a house outside and left.

Everything was fine at first, but the wife said that something was left at home in the capital, and she wanted to come back to get it. Wang Cilai thought that he could not buy anything if he had money, and refused to allow her to come back. The two had a big fight, and the wife left home without authorization. He left and never came back.

He also received a notice from the government a few days ago to know that his wife was dead, so he came to the capital to collect the body.

Wang Cilai's words were very sad, he pulled his clothes on his chest several times, and beat himself remorsefully: "It would be great if I came with her, if I don't get angry with her, she won't die, and my son won't die." I will lose my mother."

In the yamen, the eight-foot man was crying for a while, Shen Jue couldn't bear it, and handed him a handkerchief: "My condolences."

When Wang Cilai thought of the corpse he saw yesterday, he felt sad and couldn't stop crying for a while. It seemed that the husband and wife had a deep relationship.

Shen Jue comforted her for a while, but seeing that it didn't work, she gave up.

Seeing him sitting back beside him, Xuan Xing poured him a cup of tea: "How do you feel?"

Shen Jue said solemnly: "He is so pitiful."

"Nothing else?"

"What else?" Shen Jue stared at Xuan Xing with wide eyes.

Xuan Xing kept his voice to a minimum, only the two of them could hear: "For example, what he said is somewhat true or false."

"Cough cough." Yang Shaolin saw that their heads were leaning together, and coughed in a pretentious manner, and the heads of the two quickly parted. Wang Cilai, who was on the ground, also stood up wiping his tears.

"It's the humble official who lost his temper. What else do the two adults want to know? If the murderer who killed my wife can be caught, the humble official will know everything."

Yang Shaolin ignored the two people who were flirting with each other under his nose, and asked, "Two months ago, Zhu Chunya quarreled with you and left home. After walking for so long, you didn't think about looking for it?"

"I thought she would come back." Wang Cilai said, "The child is still at home. Even if there is any disagreement between us, she will definitely not leave the child behind. It's been more than two months since I left, I also searched for her later, and asked someone to ask in the capital, but no one saw her come back, I, I thought she had run away, so I didn't think much about it."

What Wang said was reasonable and well-founded, even he asked someone to ask, Yang Shaolin also asked someone to check, and it was indeed right for him, it seemed that it was really because of his carelessness that he didn't know anything, at this time He was heartbroken over the death of his wife.

Shen Jue listened a little at first, but later on, he sat on a chair and counted the tea leaves in his cups.

After Yang Shaolin finished asking, he fell silent, and drank water with a teacup, as if he didn't intend to speak, his eyes fell on Xuan Xing.

Xuan Xing was puzzled by him: "What do you see me doing?"

"I'm done asking, do you have anything else to ask?" Yang Shaolin said.

"..." Xuan Xing was silent, put down his teacup, corrected Shen Jue's crooked sitting posture, and then looked at Wang Cilai: "Are you still telling the truth?"

Wang Cilai's heart trembled, and he looked at Xuan Xing blankly: "What's the truth, what the humble official said is the truth."

He knelt down with a plop: "There is absolutely no falsehood in a humble job, I hope you will see clearly."

Xuanxing heard the words and said: "Don't be careful, just talk about the loopholes in your words, what kind of money can make you resign from the official position, and move to Xiang'an City with your wife, I don't think you are so confused. Commander of the guard army, you must have stuffed a lot of money when you first went in. You should have paid 100 taels along the way. You have just increased in value for less than a year. Logically speaking, you should not quit this job.

The second is your wife. When she left, she even cleaned up the slop bucket and put it away. If something was so important that she had to fight with you in order to get it back, she would go back to Beijing alone and die miserably on the way.

Third, she said that she was going home to get her things. She disappeared for more than two months. You didn’t report to the authorities. I dare not step in.

Fourth, this official report has been sent to Xiang'an City four days ago, and it is only a day and a half away from the capital. It's here, but you didn't arrive until the sun went down yesterday. What did you do during the two days in between? "

Xuanxing smiled and listed one, two, three with Wang Jilai, "There are other things, I won't list them one by one, you are indeed not lying, you know you can't hide it from us, so you just tell half of it and hide the other half, come on, tell me What is that half you are hiding?"

Wang Cilai looked at Xuan Xing, his forehead was covered with sweat, but he yelled that he was wronged, what he said was the truth, and he didn't lie a word.

No matter what Xuanxing asked, he insisted that he only knew these things, and didn't know anything else. He looked like a dead duck with a stubborn mouth, and it seemed that he couldn't ask anything.

Shen Jue drank a lot of water, and was a little hungry, so he had to put down his teacup: "I want to eat."

Xuan Xing saw that there was no result, Shen Jue was hungry again, so he thought about coming back after eating, so he immediately asked Wang Cilai to take him down and lock him up.

"Wait a minute." Shen Jue called to stop the yamen servant, "I've come here, I don't want to run here again and again, let's settle this matter before eating."

Xuan Xing's expression paused, looking at Shen Jue's face, he could only see a piece of calm, with all kinds of emotions contained in his arms, which made people unable to figure it out.

Yang Shaolin said he was going to treat guests, and he had already left. Seeing what he said, he went back and sat in his seat: "Then I will trouble Mr. Shen."

"No trouble." Shen Jue said, he stood up and walked to Wang Cilai's side. , asked: "Your wife married into your royal family five years ago, and the child has just turned three years old now. You came here alone, who did you entrust the child to?"

Wang Cilai froze for a moment, "I couldn't take care of the child well, so I entrusted the child to a friend I knew in the army. There was a six-year-old child in his family who played very well with my son."

"That's strange." Shen Jue said: "Your family and your wife's family are all from the capital. Even if her two elders are not alive, there are still some relatives in your family in the capital. What kind of friends are more reliable than relatives? , if you bring the child, at least you can still see it, if you entrust it to a friend, you must not see the child before the matter is over, how can you let it go."

"He, he is very good." Wang Cilai gritted his teeth, "I can rest assured."

"Oh." Shen Jue pretended to be all right, barely believing what you said, "Is the superior who reported the funeral to Zhu Xiaming in the Mobei Army the same person as the one who persuaded you to leave the capital later?"

"Of course it's the same person." Wang Cilai said without hesitation.

"Then why was the newly purchased tea brewed only once?" Shen Jue asked back, "If it's the same person twice, it can't just be based on the mood, make it if you want to make it, and don't make it if you don't want it. If so, then buy new tea What, they are not the same person."

"No." Wang Cilai straightened up suddenly, staring at Shen Jue, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "They are the same person."

Now everyone can see Wang Cilai's concealment, but he still insists: "They are really the same person, and the reason why they didn't make tea later is because he didn't sit down, he just stood at the door and talked to us. Then I left, I can't chase after him and serve him tea, Shen, Mr. Shen, don't talk nonsense."

"Whether to drink or not is his business, but whether to drink or not is your business, don't you think I'm stupid." Shen Jue said mercilessly, "Your wife must have been killed by one of them, you Are you really not going to tell the truth?"
