Chapter 73

Cui Xin hurriedly prepared a carriage and rushed to the Beijing yamen.

But even if he kept urging "faster" at the intersection, he was so anxious that he couldn't push the coachman down to catch the car himself, but he had to give up because he really couldn't catch up. It was still late when he arrived at the Beijing yamen.

In the Beijing government office, Wen and his wife are returning to the Fuyin Jidong in the lobby. There are many people who eat melon seeds and watch the excitement outside.

Cui Xin's mind roared. He only felt that the honor and disgrace of the whole Yong'an Bo house were on his shoulder at this time. Ignoring the rules passed on, he rushed into the hall in sweat.

In his mouth, he hurriedly said, "Lord Ji, don't listen to my wife's nonsense!"

"Who intrudes into the court!"

Ji Dong hasn't seen who the visitor is yet. Two yamen servants holding water and fire sticks have held Cui Xin.

"Lord Ji, it's Cui!"

Ji Dong recognized the man and waved to the Yamen to let him go.

Cui Xin looked at the Wen family standing there and hurriedly said, "Lord Fuyin doesn't know. Recently, my mother died. My wife was too sad and confused her mind. She's a little bad. This is a random lawsuit. Please don't blame me."

Ji Dong frowned.

Why does he look at... The son of Yongan Bo seems to be the one who is confused and has a bad mind?

"Cui Shizi means that there is no theft at home, and there is no servant escaping from the house?"

what?

Cui Xin was stunned for a moment.

Why can't he understand what Lord Ji is saying?

Wen looked at him in a calm tone and said, "didn't the son forget your bookboy Qi Lin? Did he escape without a trace after stealing the property in our house before the 17th and 18th?"

Cui Xin was stunned.

A moment later, he said with a helpless smile to Ji Dong: "it's true, but Cui thinks it's just a theft. It's really not suitable to disturb Lord Ji. Lord Ji is busy on business on weekdays. How can you let adults work hard for such trifles as Cui's family..."

Ji Dong is also helpless.

I really don't want to bother him. Just discuss with his daughter-in-law at home?

It's all in the open. He doesn't care, okay?

However, if this is not in line with the positive image of an official, it is naturally impossible to say.

"What Cui Shizi said is my duty. Since it is true, I will investigate and deal with it according to the rules."

Cui Xin quickly raised his hand and saluted: "then Lord Lao Ji..."

After leaving the court, Cui Xin left the government office side by side with Wen.

The people also dispersed one after another.

"I saw Mrs. Yongan boshizi come to the Yamen. What's the big heat..."

It's just a lost thing.

But then again, although people come to the Yamen to report to the government almost every day because of theft at home, such dignitaries who come in person are rare.

The people talked as they walked.

A young man dressed up as a servant and carrying a medicine bag passed by. He faintly heard the words "Yong'an Bo house", and his face changed slightly.

He slowed down and asked a man curiously, "what's the matter with Yongan Bo's house? He's going to report to the Yamen?"

"It's no big deal. It's said that a schoolboy stole something and ran away."

The entourage was even more surprised: "how can you let the wife of the prince come in person?"

"Hey, it's not just the son's wife, but the empress of Yong'an Boshi has also caught up with him... I must have lost something very valuable. Who knows."

The attendant's eyes sank.

I really lost something very valuable

It's just that Yongan Bo mansion dares to report the case?

Take a look at the carriage of Bo's house not far away, and the entourage quickly left the crowd.

After entering the carriage, Cui Xin immediately sank his face.

"What are you doing?"

Wen's silent sneer.

It's ridiculous that people who don't do shit turn around and say she's fooling around.

"Naturally, it is necessary to borrow the people of the government to find Qi Lin earlier. As long as we find Qi Lin, Qing'er's whereabouts will naturally be clear."

"But if the government finds out that Qing'er is eloping with him, don't we shout to catch the thief and make people laugh!"

"My daughter can't elope with others -" Wen said coldly.

This is what Miss Xu gave her. She thought about it carefully. It is really the only way to achieve both ends. It will not publicize the matter to the public and completely damage Qing'er's reputation. It can also be justified and let the government intervene to find someone.

As for the matter after finding Qi Lin, the government can't deal with it in a big way——

Lord Ji is a sensible and good official. He also has friends with the prince of Zhenguo. It's not difficult to follow up. As long as we do a little up and down, there will be no saying that we should not spread it.

"You..."

Cui Xingang wanted to say something, but Wen cut him off in a cold voice: "the prince doesn't have to say much. It won't damage the reputation of Yong'an Bo house. As for Qing'er, since the prince thinks she shouldn't come back, I'll take her, Wei'er and leave the house after I find someone."

"And leave?"

Cui Xin seems to have heard a very funny joke.

How dare this woman make peace with him?

Wen's face was expressionless and said, "I've written to discuss with my mother. My mother doesn't object."

Cui Xin's smile immediately solidified on his face.

Mother in law is crazy!

His face changed for a long time. He took the rest of the light to glance at Wen's expression. He saw that her face was cold, completely different from the usual weakness and forbearance, and his heart couldn't help getting nervous.

"You and I have been married for so many years. How can we say that we can make peace and leave? You don't think about yourself in the future, but also think about the future marriage prospects of your children. If you are so angry, don't mention it again in the future..."

Cui Xin pressed his temper and said, "I also know that you are very sad and worried about Qing'er these days. Why am I not? The top priority now is to find Qing'er back... Don't worry, I will send more people to inquire."

Then he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wen.

Wen's face took it coldly.

With the death of her mother-in-law, her husband has become sensible with the naked eye.

That's amazing.

The elder sister's words are true——

This disgusting man bullies the soft and fears the hard. He can't give him a good face.

……

Two days later, Wen sent his confidant servant girl to the town government to deliver a letter to Cui.

As soon as the carriage entered Qingyun square, the servant girl heard some lively voices outside, so she opened the curtain and looked at it.

I saw that it was a family that was not so rich. At this time, the guests outside the door seemed to have a happy event.

Qingyun square covers a huge area. In the former dynasty, it was a place where dignitaries gathered. After the first emperor ascended the throne in Beijing, new dignitaries led by the Duke of Zhenguo built houses here. Only one town government took up most of Qingyun square, leaving some scattered places in the front and back, which were given to several other officials or scholars who could not be called famous.

The servant girl put down the curtain before she went to see more.

The letter was soon delivered to Cui.

Cui Shi asked Xu Mingyi to come over.

"But cousin Qing has made progress?"
