Wang Si and Liang Yuan went into a room that had been temporarily cleaned. There was only one desk and three chairs. Outside, LV Wei sent someone to guard them. In the room, Wen jinniang and Liang Yuan sat down together and looked at Wang Si who was uneasy.
"Sit down, don't be stiff."
Wen jinniang grinds ink and spreads paper, preparing to record Wang Si's testimony. Liang Yuan looks at Wen jinniang's busy work with tenderness on her face, and does not pay attention to Wang Si at all.
Wang Si couldn't help but draw his lips. He dared to challenge his Highness the fourth Prince directly. How could he do that in private? Wang Si Yi couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it.
Obediently sat down, because the inner tension also only dare to next to a little chair.
"When did you see your sister's body?"
Liang Yuan takes back his tender eyes and begins to ask questions. However, as soon as he asks this question, he is acutely aware of Wang Si's hesitation.
"If you really think about your sister, you should tell the truth, otherwise I can't help you."
"I said, I said, it's just adults. If I said all that, would I go to jail?"
"If you don't do anything illegal, you will be safe."
Wang Si swallowed saliva and closed his eyes. Finally, he told the whole story.
Wang Si's sister is not a sister, but an abandoned baby picked up by Wang Si's father when he was young.
Wang's father is a simple, honest and upright man. When he found the baby girl, he was unwilling to throw it into the hall, so he brought up the two children by hunting. Later, Wang's father died, and his brother and sister were dependent on each other, but Wang Si became addicted to gambling.
Wang Si pawned all the valuable things in his family, but he couldn't pay the gambling debt that was still 100 Liang short. He wanted to run away with his sister qinniang all night, but unexpectedly, the gambler came to the door and blocked their way.
Qinniang was taken away by gamblers and sold to zhaoyaoge, the largest brothel in Beijing. Qinniang was very good because of her appearance and figure. The bustard of zhaoyaoge regarded her as a cash cow and welcomed her with delicious food. Qinniang had a good life for a few days, and she could learn things easily. She lived in zhaoyaoge like a duck to water until she was picked up by the fourth Prince and got into the prince's palace.
While recording, Wen jinniang distracted herself and asked Wang Si about qinniang's appearance. Wang Si tried to describe qinniang's appearance in words as much as possible. Wen jinniang and Liang Yuan looked at each other. Isn't qinniang described by Wang Si the woman they met when they went to the palace to ask the fourth prince that day.
Wenjinniang motionless to wangsi to continue to remember, wangsi because qinniang was captured by the gambling house, and the money owed by the gambling house was written off, the family also can't stay, toss and turn to listen to qinniang's whereabouts, all the way to the capital.
Wang Si changed several jobs in the capital. He managed to sneak into the backyard of the fourth Prince's house to see qinniang, who was in charge of the family.
Qin Niang naturally didn't recognize Wang Si as a useless elder brother, but she didn't have the heart to drive him away. She took out ten Liang silver and sent Wang Si away.
Wang Si knew that he was sorry for qinniang and confirmed that she was well, so he left with ten liang of silver.
"Since your sister refused to recognize you and gave you money, why do you still associate with her now?"
Looking at Wang Si's recollection, Wen jinniang stopped talking and pointed out the key to the problem.
Wang Si looked up at Liang Yuan and muttered.
"It's something to do with Lord Liang."
"Oh? I don't know your sister qinniang. How can it be related to me? You should be careful. My wife is still here. "
Wen jinniang stares at Liang Yuan and turns to look at Wang sirou, who bows her head and rubs her hands.
"Well, if you tell me in detail, Mr. Liang won't blame you." Finally, he pauses and adds, "I won't either."
Encouraged by Wen jinniang, Wang Si looks up at Liang Yuan and says.
"Although qinniang complained about me, she gave me money to settle down in the capital. I rented a humble house in the west of the city and still didn't lose the job of sending firewood to the prince's residence. But I didn't take the initiative to find qinniang, until one day qinniang came to me. Qinniang said that Lord Liang found out the murder of the third prince, and the fourth Prince threw a stone at his feet and married a servant girl to be his concubine. Qinniang said that she was so much better than that servant girl, and she was not willing to let such a useless servant girl step on her head every day... "
Wang Si's voice lowered down again. Wen jinniang stopped writing, and subconsciously pointed her chin with the penholder, speculating.
"So qinniang asks you to use your guilt for her to fight against the fourth prince?"
Wang Si didn't expect that Wen jinniang had guessed it so directly. On second thought, the one who can be a woman must not be an ordinary person, so he nodded.
"Qinniang said that she didn't dare to hurt people's lives. She just told me to find a chance to sneak into the main courtyard and make some noise to let people know that there were other men in the princess's house. In that case, the fourth prince might neglect the fourth Prince and his concubine. If she took the opportunity to have a baby, she would not worry about it in her life."
Wang Si was very sad. Qinniang didn't have time to do anything. He just told himself about the plan. Before it was implemented, Wang Si came back to see qinniang and found that the person had been killed.
At that time, fear prevailed over reason. Wang Si ran to the dog hole he found. After he got out of the hole, he reacted. He summoned his good neighbors to the prince's house to watch. Unexpectedly, qinniang's corpse disappeared now.
Wen jinniang ordered tea and snacks for Wang Si and left the man in the room. She and Liang Yuan went out of the room and stood in front of the grass in the yard.
"What do you think of my husband?"
"The four kings can only believe seven points."
Liang Yuan truthfully expressed his views on Wang Si's testimony, and Wen jinniang nodded.
"The fourth king and qinniang's plot may not be just to frame the fourth prince. For his own safety, he hides the authenticity of this part. But if qinniang's body can't be found, the murderer is likely to be at large."
Liang Yuan also knows the consequences of what Wen jinniang said. According to their conjecture, the person who killed qinniang will be locked in the back house of the prince's mansion. First, check the person who had a festival with qinniang, but the most urgent thing is to find qinniang's body first.
Liang Yuan and Wen jinniang are quite sure that qinniang's body must have been hidden by the fourth prince. Even if the man was not killed by the fourth prince, but died in the fourth Prince's backyard, he doesn't want this matter to be publicized. But Liang Yuan came to the door, so he ordered someone to hide the body.
When Wen jinniang and Liang Yuan return to the second gate, the women's families have been withered by the sun, and they are all staggering.
Wen jinniang looks at Lan Xin, who is still standing in the same place without expression, and looks back at the impatient fourth prince.
"Mr. Liang, your people have already searched the prince's mansion. Since they haven't found anything, can they leave?"
Liang Yuan shakes his head. Before Tang Youjing breaks out, he whispers to Tang Youjing. Tang Youjing's face is hard to see.
