Wanjin Lady

Chapter 315 Handover
"Why not?!" Jia screamed at the top of her lungs, her eyes bloodshot. "The waiter just said it himself. The murderer's voice and figure are exactly like Wen Wan's!"

"Ah..." The old servant was at a loss. Wasn't the waiter just talking about "similar"?
Jia turned her head and muttered to herself.

"It must be her! Goro has no other enemies!"

"This woman is cunning and vicious. Who knows what kind of magic she might use to take my son's life!"

"They don't believe that woman is the murderer! But I know it! I will definitely find evidence!"

----------------------

Wen Wan and her group arrived at the government office. The office was bustling with activity, but Wen Wan was a familiar face. Hou Ji waved at her from afar, "Miss Wen!"

"Master Hou!"

Hou Ji blushed, "Miss Wen, please don't call me Jun Ye. It sounds weird."

Wen Wan teased him, "Then I'll call you Lord Hou?"

"It can't be done."

"Then it's still Lord Hou."

Hou Ji found himself being teased by Miss Wen again. He thought to himself: Miss Wen is not that old, why does she always tease me like a child? The key is that I haven't learned my lesson yet and always fall into her trap!
Hou Ji became obedient and bowed, "Madam Wen, I've been waiting for a long time. The Marquis asked me to help Madam Wen with some paperwork. This government office is a mess, and the people below are deceiving their superiors and hiding the truth from their subordinates. If I don't have someone to accompany me, I'm afraid I won't be able to hand the person over to you before dark."

Everyone in the group had different expressions.

Liu Yiyi and Hongmei looked guilty and evasive, with words like "We conspired to trick your Lord into becoming his son-in-law, and we're holding your Lord's two children hostage. Now we're very scared" written all over their faces.

Instead, she smiled gently, "Your Lord is very considerate. Thank him for me."

"Don't worry, I will make sure that Mr. Wen returns home safely in half an hour at most." After saying that, the young man turned around and instantly transformed into a Shura on the battlefield. He took out the long whip from his waist and swung it, hitting the bluestone floor with a "crackling" sound that made people's scalps numb.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to sit here today, let's see who dares to be lazy!"

"Report to me after you've completed each procedure. I want to see who's the slowest!"

"Slow? Huh? You're old... slow hands and feet? No problem, take you to the training grounds for ten days or half a month, and I guarantee you'll be able to run ten laps effortlessly!"

Wen Wan: ...

He is worthy of being a soldier under the figure.

Mr. Tu's eyelids were twitching as well. The scene before him reminded him of the afternoon when his brother-in-law was training the servants in the back hill of the winery.

Mr. Tu raised his hand and touched his neck.

I always feel it's chilly there.

Wen Wan suddenly remembered something, and thinking that the handover procedures would take at least half an hour, she asked Hou Ji, "Is your Marquis here? I have something to ask him."

"Yes, in the backyard."

Wen Wan asked Hongmei and Liu Yiyi to wait here to sign and seal the contract, while she took Mr. Tu to the backyard to meet Wei Zheng.

After entering the inner hall, Mr. Tu was not able to go in conveniently, so Wen Wan went there alone, but saw a beautiful young lady in the yard.

When the young lady saw someone coming, she also glanced at her.

Wen Wan instantly sensed the hostility. The young lady's gaze fell on the back of her bunged hair, and her brows obviously relaxed.

Wenwan's gaze fell on the food box held in the hands of the maid beside the young lady.

Hmm… the romantic entanglements of figurines. Wen Wan didn't recognize this young lady, but since she had run into her, she could only nod slightly as a greeting.

The young lady also smiled at her obediently.

Wen Wan didn't want to get involved in this emotional turmoil. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Wei Zheng's voice coming from the inner room, "Is that you, Junior Sister Wen? Come in."

harm.

Wen Wan could only accept her fate and walk into the house.

Wei Zheng had a pile of documents on his desk. Seeing Wen Wan enter, he put down his pen and asked, "Junior Sister Wen, what brings you here?"

Gee tut.

This face of the figurine.

I can't get enough of it.

His facial features were sharp, like a knife chisel. His eyes were bright and lively, with slightly upturned corners. His nose was high and straight, with well-proportioned nostrils. His lips were as red as cherries. His facial lines were smooth, masculine and tough, yet gentle. When he smiled, his face was full of smiles; when he didn't smile, he was majestic without anger. His clothes were like the snow on the Cangshan Mountain, and he looked cold and noble, which made people...

I really want to play with it.

Wen Wan pulled out the city defense map from her sleeve and spread it out on his desk. "Return it to its original owner so that you won't have to worry about it."

Anyway, Wenwan has already memorized the above content.

Wei Zheng's eyes fell on the light piece of paper, which seemed to be stained with Yuan Wulang's blood.

"Now that Master Wen has been acquitted, Junior Sister Wen will likely be leaving Bozhou soon, right?"

Wen Wan nodded, "We can't stay here for long. Besides, the Pingxian Winery can't be left without anyone."

Wei Zheng spoke slowly, "I remember... Junior Sister Wen promised to do her best to help me solve the smuggling case before she left. Now Junior Sister Wen is in a hurry to leave Bozhou. Does that mean she doesn't intend to keep her promise?"

As if she had anticipated Wei Zheng's accusation, Wen Wan handed over another piece of paper. When Wei Zheng saw the familiar name, he raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Junior Sister Wen, are you carrying something smuggled in?"

"If the evidence is conclusive, it won't be considered smuggling, it will be considered eliminating harm for the people."

"Heh." Wei Zheng chuckled, as if he had seen through Wen Wan's thoughts. "You just want to get rid of Yuan Qi's murder case."

Wen Wan smiled and shook her head, "You might as well consider this person as a reward for helping the Marquis solve the case."

Well.

It turns out that girls should be well-behaved to be more sympathetic.

"Okay." Wei Zheng glanced at the list and thought to himself that Wen Wan had been very busy since she came to Bozhou. She had to set up murder traps to harm people, organize sugar and wine fairs to make money, and help him investigate cases. She moved among all kinds of people in Bozhou all day long, but she was at ease.

It must be said that this woman is very good at networking and is more resourceful than his staff.

"Let's talk about these people first. I see this list is much shorter than the last one. Are these people involved in the smuggling case?"

"Ever since I spread the false news that the imperial court was going to crack down on private lending, these families have been the most anxious. They've all been trying to find out what's going on, and I've also been able to obtain some intelligence, both overtly and covertly."

"These..." Wen Wan pointed at a few names on the list. "They're ostensibly merchants from Bozhou, but they're actually lackeys of court officials. They genuinely believe these are usurious loans. Their money laundering methods are similar to that of Madam Yi. They spread the profits from smuggling among their various businesses, making it difficult for the court to investigate."

"This Madam He..." Wen Wan's tone suddenly turned cold. "I've met her a few times. She's introverted and dull, not good at socializing, and doesn't have many opinions. But this time, for the first time, she asked me about smuggling."

"She keeps asking me how the Marquis dealt with the pirates. She also said her father was killed by the Japanese when she was young and she hates pirates. But underneath her words... she's more afraid of being implicated. I have a hunch that her family is very likely connected to the pirates. The Marquis could start with her husband's family."
