Chapter 160 The Lady of the Constable's House (38)
"My wife doesn't know many people, so don't slander me."
"If Gu Yuxi has been to Pingxiang County, then it makes sense. I don't accept it! Why do I have such an advantage? You two bitches must have been there before me."
"Sir, I don't know what this thief said."
"Not only did you steal horses and poison donkeys, you also tarnished my wife's reputation. It's really hateful. My lord, please help us."
Zhang Jieying looked at the woman who had shown weakness and looked for a man to lean on in her previous life, and cursed: "She is not a good person, Gu Yuxi, Gu Nianwen! Except for you, no one in this world knows about Ma Boyong and Xu's affairs. You were the one who told the secret, and you are back, right?"
"My husband, I know nothing. How could a weak woman like me report such a filthy thing? It was all told by the common people."
"Stop pretending. You and Zhang Jin'er are birds of a feather. Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go."
"Madam, this thief needs a slap in the face."
"No need."
Zhang Jin'er looked at Gu Yuxi. His Majesty is still looking for that man. If the man who informed on her is related to Gu Yuxi, then that means there is a new discovery.
But now Gu Yuxi is just a woman who only knows how to hide by her husband's side, which is different from Aunt Gu who confronted Zhang Jieying head-on in her previous life.
"Bitch..."
She reminded: "Sir, the thief is talking nonsense, and you are busy with many things. It is better to end this caning as soon as possible."
"What Madam said is absolutely true."
The person being beaten screamed as soon as the stick hit him. The person in charge of beating had Zhang Jiner's personal information, so he had to be very strong.
"You two bitches are in cahoots with each other, I curse you to die miserably... ah!"
"Gu Yuxi, I still lose to you in this life. I don't accept it. Do you know your own life experience? Hahahaha, you will never know it in this life. You can only marry a lowly constable."
clap clap clap!
Xiao Zhuoxuan blocked Gu Yuxi's eyes. His wife was timid, so it was better not to let her see such a bloody horror.
Zhang Jin'er felt that there were still some good things that had not been dug out, so she winked at the maid, and that person notified the Governor's Office.
"stop!"
"Sir, why don't you fight?"
"Are you the chief execution officer or am I the chief punishment officer? This thief has some criminal records that need to be investigated. I will first punish him with 15 strokes of the cane and wait for his punishment."
After leaving the government office, Xiao Zhuoxuan led the horse and comforted: "My wife, the thief has been punished. What happens next is not our responsibility. Don't remember those people who have been dead for many years."
"I'm not overthinking, I'm just afraid..."
"I know everything. Nothing has happened in these years. If you are worried, I can just shut up that thief."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. The wound on this horse is quite deep. We need to go back and apply some medicine on it."
When they returned home, the donkey that had fallen down had stood up. Gu Yuxi gave the horse medicine, and Xiao Zhuoxuan went next door to pick up his son.
"My lady, I heard that Tiejilang next door passed the imperial examination, and he also received a bouquet of embroidery on the way."
"Why do I feel like you're gloating?"
"Do I? That guy is twenty-four, he should have gotten married a long time ago."
"You're tired today. I'll boil some water and kill a chicken for you right away."
"You've worked hard, I'll kill the chicken."
After Zhang Jin'er sent the people away, she couldn't wait to ask, "Zhang Jieying, as long as you speak obediently, you may still have a chance to survive. What grudge did you have with Gu Yuxi in your previous life?"
"I will not say."
"Don't tell me, just enjoy it!"
Noisy!
"Ah! Tell me, I'll tell you everything I know!"
"That's good. You asked me to light such a big fire, but the iron is not even hot. I don't want to hear any nonsense."
"Gu Yuxi, I don't know. In her previous life, she was Zhang Xinliang's second wife. Unfortunately, she was killed by a cup of poisoned wine. You don't know about this grudge, after all, you died early."
"Does she have any other identities? Besides being Ma Boyong's adopted daughter."
"Who knows? You want to get something from me. Do you think I will keep talking?"
"If you don't tell me, you're dead."
"Zhang Jin'er, did Gu Yuxi tell you something that allowed you to take advantage of the situation? You were originally going to marry the Ye family's idiot!"
"Oh, Zhang Jieying, that originally belonged to you. Do you think I will let you live well?"
"Hahaha! Zhang Jin'er, I won't say anything. I will never lose to you in my next life."
Seeing the blood flowing out of the woman's mouth, Zhang Jin'er thought to herself that this was not good, the clue was broken.
"The thief committed suicide out of fear of punishment. You should throw her into a mass grave and don't pollute the lady's eyes."
"Yes!"
After returning to the Guo residence, Zhang Jin'er asked the man who was writing at the desk, "Sir, this Ma Boyong used to serve a sick young lady. What was her name?"
"Why are you asking these questions?"
Guo Jinlong put down the pen in his hand, walked over, and helped the man sit on the pear blossom chair.
"Zhang Jieying is dead, but she spoke strangely, saying that Ma Boyong's adopted daughter was the sickly young lady who died..."
Guo Jinlong also fell into deep thought. They had never met Miss Nianwen, who had never seen anyone before. He had been scolded for trying to climb over the wall with a group of friends. If that dead person...
"My lord, I suspect that Madam Xiao knows where the person His Majesty and the others are looking for is."
"She was just a fierce woman from the market. The lady who died of a sudden illness was called Nianwen. As for her surname, Ma Boyong never mentioned it during his lifetime. Now Yu and her son have gone to make a living elsewhere. It is difficult to trace a dead person."
"It's hard to investigate the dead, but it's easier to investigate the living. If you can help His Majesty and his men solve their problems, it will be safer for you to take up your post in Kyoto."
"Madam, what you said is absolutely right. Even if it is wrong, we have to find out a little before we can make a conclusion."
"My dear, don't you think I have too many things to do?"
"You and I are husband and wife, how can I, as your husband, despise you?"
Zhang Jin'er said sadly, "But I am no longer able to bear children, so I can no longer have children for you, my husband."
"We already have a lovely daughter, and as a husband I am already satisfied."
"But my mother..."
"This is not something you should worry about, my lady. If we can find that miracle doctor, there will be a chance for this to happen."
"Mr., you are so kind."
Gu Yuxi and the others had no idea that they were being targeted. They were listening to people saying that Ying'er, the former courtesan of Lanchunju, was addicted to stealing and committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment.
Gu Yuxi held her sleeping son in her arms and frowned, "Husband, is there anything wrong with this matter?"
"Madam, are you talking about Zhang Jin'er?"
"Yes."
"It is true that the murder was too quick, but it is nothing to be afraid of. At most, they will find out that you are the illegitimate daughter of Gu Ke, but what does that matter?"
"Zhang Jin'er is different."
"What's the difference? If it doesn't work, we can live somewhere else. My husband has been to Dali before. There are many kinds of camellia there. We can buy a few acres of land and grow some tea. Wouldn't it be fun?"
The woman carefully placed the child on the bed, feeling uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't avoid the trouble when it came.
