"It's from the yamen, someone fell from the building."

"The one that fell from Mochiyue Tower died."

"This morning, the grandma who sells carbon across the street was the first to find out. When she saw someone lying on the snow, she was so frightened that she fell ill..."

Wen Ningwan squeezed into the crowd and saw that the scene was surrounded by people from Jingzhao Prefecture. The snow was covered with the footprints of the onlookers. It seemed that there were no useful clues.

Wen Ningwan's eyes widened in surprise, her heartbeat stopped for half a second, and she was about to rush in.

A hand stretched out from behind, and held her down. Wen Ningwan turned her head, eyes wide open, and opened her mouth.

The national teacher raised his hand to cover her mouth and forcibly took her away from the crowd.

In the alley next to her, Wen Ningwan's eyes were red, her whole body was trembling, her fists were clenched tightly, and she was staring at Mochizuki downstairs.

The national teacher stood aside, his expression still calm, but he frowned slightly, looking at the people around him.

"Why did this happen?" Wen Ningwan's voice was choked with sobs.

Turning around, looking at the national teacher beside him with red eyes who seemed not to understand the joy and sorrow in the world, he grinned in despair, tears pattered down his red cheeks.

The national teacher looked slightly helpless, opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Wen Ningwan lowered her head in pain, crying tremblingly: "What did I do? Why did I ask her to investigate, why didn't I stop her? Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh why..."

The national teacher stepped forward, raised his hand and pressed her head into his arms, without saying a word.

Wen Ningwan became more and more uncomfortable, clutching the clothes in front of her tightly, sobbing non-stop: "She could have stayed out of it, sooo X﹏X I'm sorry for her, if that day woooo...if I can be tough and make her stop Check again, she won't die..."

On the indifferent expression of the national teacher, his eyes suddenly became bright, he frowned slightly, and touched Wen Ningwan's head with his palm.

"I'm the one who's sorry Liu Shaoqing woo woo woo..." Wen Ningwan cried, her eyes darkened, she felt nauseous, her voice stopped abruptly, and her legs became weak.

The national teacher was stunned for a moment, and immediately stretched out his arms to embrace the fainted person, looking at her pale face, his face sank.

**

In Feng Mansion, Wen Ningwan sat weakly on the bed, her eyes blank and motionless.

Xie Yulou glanced uneasily at the national teacher who was standing aside without saying a word: "Wen Shaoqing, your eyes are just right, don't be overly sad, your eyes will be unbearable, you should take a good rest, otherwise, it will be bad to leave sequelae .”

Wen Ningwan raised her eyes in a trance: "Liu Jiaojiao is my friend. I don't feel sad when my friend dies or is murdered. Then am I still human?"

Hearing the choking voice, You Ran clenched the sword in his hand angrily: "Don't worry! Liu Shaoqing and I are also friends, and I will definitely avenge her!"

Wen Ningwan took a look at her, and lowered her head with a wry smile: "The other day she came to the house and said she was looking for me in a hurry, so I should remind her to be careful, why should I..."

"At that time you were treating illnesses." The national teacher at the side suddenly said.

"That's right, how can I blame you for this? If you want to blame it, blame me. I stopped her back without asking anything." Xie Yulou lowered her head in self-blame.

Wen Ningwan looked at her and shook her head hastily: "No, no, I don't blame you, I just..."

"I understand." Xie Yulou smiled slightly.

Hua Ming interrupted suddenly: "The most important thing for Wen Shaoqing now is to cheer up, not just blame yourself."

You Ran nodded immediately: "Yes."

Wen Ningwan was slightly stunned, and You Qi suddenly came in and glanced at everyone.

"Any news?" Wen Ningwan asked hurriedly.

You Qi hesitated for a moment, looked at the national teacher, and said, "It involves officials who are higher than yourself. The governor of Jingzhao has transferred the case to Dali Temple. The minister of Dali Temple, Mr. Chai, is in charge of the case. The conclusion is..."

You Qi paused as she spoke: "... drank wine and got drunk, so she stumbled and fell from the Mochiyue Building, and unfortunately passed away."

"Ho!" Wen Ningwan sneered.

Angrily, she lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed: "Drinking wine?! Liu Jiaojiao is famous for pouring a glass of wine, and then she falls unconscious after drinking. Who doesn't know in Dali Temple? How can she say that she lost her footing when she can't move?"

"And she won't drink with anyone except someone she trusts!"

"Furthermore! At that time, when Mochizuki was downstairs, the amount of blood in the snow was so little, it was not the amount of blood that fell from the building! And if you fell to your death, your body would not lose its body temperature, and the snow that ran into your nose and mouth would be melted by your body temperature! And Liu Jiaojiao's mouth and nose were stuffed with snow, she was thrown down after she died!"

Everyone froze, looking at the angry Wen Ningwan in front of them.

"This..." You Qi looked at the national teacher with an indifferent expression.

You Ran said angrily: "Why is this Mrs. Chai so confused?! Is she old enough to die?! What is the difference between this and a reckless disregard for human life!"

Xie Yulou looked back at her, and then at the national teacher: "What are you going to do?"

The national teacher looked at the person beside him who was gasping for breath and clenched his fists: "The closed case file has come to me. If I don't pass it, then the case is not really closed."

A glimmer of hope lit up in Wen Ningwan's heart, and she looked at the national teacher beside her: "You don't agree with her closing the case, do you?"

The national teacher nodded.

"It's already late." Mu Siyun came in from the outside, looked at them helplessly, and spread his hands:

"The Minister of Dali Temple personally went to the palace to meet His Majesty. As long as His Majesty signs the Zhu Zhu, the case will be closed. According to the regulations, no one can reopen the closed case."

"This..." You Ran looked anxiously at the national teacher.

The national teacher's face suddenly darkened, and his brows were slightly frowned: "I'm entering the palace now."

You Ran hurriedly followed, turned to Wen Ningwan and said, "Don't worry, the National Teacher will find a solution."

You Qi saluted Wen Ningwan, then turned around and hurriedly followed.

Mu Siyun sighed helplessly: "I'm afraid it's too late, what is Wen Shaoqing's plan?"

Xie Yulou worriedly looked at Wen Ningwan, whose expression suddenly froze, and saw that pair of smart eyes suddenly froze, like a layer of frost, her cherry red lips lightened, and her voice was low and hoarse: "Kill you!" she."

Xie Yulou's heart skipped a beat, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that Wen Shaoqing and the national teacher were actually the same kind of people.

"Have you guessed who the murderer is?" Mu Siyun asked anxiously.

Wen Ningwan raised her eyes, smiled wryly, and did not answer.

Before, Wen Shaoqing asked Liu Jiaojiao to secretly investigate the death of Cai'er, the number one in Beauty Square. Although Wen Ningwan later reminded her that she didn't need to investigate further, she obviously didn't intend to listen. The urgent matter she said must be related to Cai'er's death.

But, what did she find out that caused others to kill so eagerly?

"But you are no longer an official of the imperial court, so you can't intervene in this case, so leave this matter to the National Teacher." Xie Yulou looked at Wen Ningwan anxiously, worried that her eyes would not be able to withstand this sudden change.

Wen Ningwan sighed and shook her head with a wry smile: "If His Majesty decides the case, the National Teacher will not damage His Majesty's prestige for a stranger, let alone others, and this case will become an iron case. If I also stay out of it, how can I be worthy of it?" Liu Jiaojiao?"

"Can……"

"You don't have to persuade me." Wen Ningwan looked at Xie Yulou with a serious expression.

"When I came here, I had nothing. It was my friends who made me feel that I was not alone and made me feel at home. Liu Jiaojiao saw that I was wearing a pearl hairpin all the time, so she couldn't stand it and bought me a new one." , every holiday, she would give me snacks made at home..."

Wen Ningwan's voice choked up as she spoke, and she grinned helplessly: "Besides, this matter is also caused by me, so I will definitely catch the real culprit and seek justice for her."

"I'll help you, no matter what you want." Mu Siyun stood up first.

"After all, I also ate a lot of her snacks."

Xie Yulou was ashamed, and looked at her helplessly: "What the saint said, I can't stay out of it even if I have also eaten some snacks."

Mu Siyun spread her hands triumphantly, and smiled softly at Wen Ningwan: "We will accompany you."

Hua Ming looked at the people and felt uneasy. Wouldn't he be unable to complete his task?When will Wen Shaoqing steal the military deployment map of the National Division?

Wen Ningwan looked outside the house, the yellow sunset was shining on the white snow, the sky and the earth were golden, she asked: "Should Boss Yang come to see me?"

Mu Siyun looked back at Shi Chen, and hummed.

Every day at this time, Boss Yang would bring some of Wen Ningwan's favorite dishes from Yipinlou.

It's just that today, instead of receiving unreserved praise from Wen Ningwan, she was alone with a serious expression.

Boss Yang glanced at the few people who retreated, and looked at Wen Ningwan in front of him suspiciously: "Little master, what is this? What's wrong? The food doesn't suit your appetite?"

Wen Ningwan raised her hand to signal her to sit down. Boss Yang hesitated and stepped forward to sit down, looking at the serious man anxiously: "What do you want to do, little master? Just say it, the master has specially ordered me to obey your orders. "

"I want to meet Wen Rushi."

"she……"

Wen Ningwan looked at Boss Yang who was full of embarrassment with a determined expression: "I guess she is in the capital, right?"

Boss Yang's expression was slightly startled, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, his whole aura suddenly turned cold, and his tone was particularly distant: "What do you mean, little master?"

"Isn't she my mother?"

Wen Ningwan looked innocent: "A child also needs a reason to want to see his mother? Isn't it okay to have a simple mother-daughter relationship? I don't think my mother can do it?"

"Uh uh..." Boss Yang was so shocked by the sudden mother-daughter love that he didn't know how to react, and he obviously called the other party by his first name just now.

Wen Ningwan said with a playful smile: "Go tell her, come to my house at night, I can help her with what she has to do."

Boss Yang's heart skipped a beat, his face suddenly froze, and he immediately put on a friendly smile: "Yes, this subordinate is going to pass on the message."

Boss Yang left Fengfu and walked straight to the bustling ancient street in the city. At the door of an inconspicuous house, a young woman was sitting cross-legged on the ground, playing with two children with pigtails playing with stones.

"Auntie! You're so reckless!" the child said in a milky voice.

"I don't have one." The young woman hurriedly shook her head innocently.

Another child pointed to the unhidden stones at her feet: "It's all exposed! Auntie does this every time! Hmph!"

"It was an accident."

The two children clicked their lips in disgust: "Tsk~ Auntie always says that."

Boss Yang heard the conversation of the three from a distance, walked over with a helpless smile, and saluted: "Patriarch."

The woman raised her eyes, her brows looked a little like Wen Ningwan's, but her eyes were firmer than Wen Ningwan's, and her facial features were a bit sharper.

"Okay, let's play another day." Wen Ru stood up and patted the dust off his body.

The two children picked up the stones, held them in their arms with smiles, and bowed their heads to salute her.

Boss Yang was surprised when he saw the child bouncing away, every time he was tricked by the owner, but he still liked to play with her.

"What's the matter?" Wen Rushi washed the dust off his hands, and looked up at the people standing beside him with an amiable expression.

"The little master said that she wants you to see her at night. She can help you with what you have to do."

Wen Rushi paused while wiping his hands, then raised his eyebrows with a kind face: "Interesting."

Wen Rushi smiled and sat down beside her: "My daughter really impresses me. I have been thoroughly studied by her, but I know nothing about her."

"It's not the Patriarch's fault. She hasn't grown up by your side since she was a child. It's normal that you don't know her well."

Wen Rushi smiled casually, and glanced at Boss Yang who was standing cautiously by the side: "Okay, I'll go see her, if she is really willing to help me, it will be easy to solve the trouble of the national teacher."

"It's just..." Boss Yang hesitated.

Wen Ru said: "Speak directly if you have something to say."

"This subordinate feels that the young master's desire to see you has something to do with the death of Liu Jiaojiao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple this morning."

Wen Ru nodded: "Naturally, she values ​​friendship, but it's usually this kind of person who is the best to handle, such as that little slave."
