Chapter 31
If an ordinary little lady heard such an invitation from the lord of the government, she would have agreed immediately while being terrified.

But Shen Qingling just smiled slightly, took half a step back, and replied with lowered eyes: "Mr. Ren Dalang should focus on these files first, just now I heard Ren Erlang say that Master Zhizhou has issued an iron order to be in a Solve these old cases within a month."

It is precisely because of this that Ren Shaoyan said that he and his eldest brother have been in this side hall for more than ten days. During this period, they have not even stepped out of the gate of the government office, because they are afraid of missing their father's errand.

Ren Shaoming laughed loudly, pointed his right hand on the case, and said: "Even though Second Lady Shen came here to ask for something, she was always thinking about us inside and out of what she said, she is a wonderful person, no wonder the two of them are in such a hurry Help you do things in a hurry."

As the eldest brother, he can guess what the younger brother is going to do when the younger brother moves.

Shen Qingling turned her head to look at Ren Shaoming, it seemed that Ren Silang's death did not bring any sadness to him or to others.Could it be that everything was just as what Qian Shusheng said, this Shiro was not even a concubine, but a child snatched back from the outside room.

Furthermore—

Even if Ren Silang didn't have an accident today, it was still a serious wedding banquet. Why didn't the Ren family show up in Wuliu Alley?Ren Bingyi tried the case in the front hall, the eldest son of the Ren family handled the files in the side hall, not to mention the third son of the Ren family, when the dead passed away, they still smelled of powder on their bodies.

This family is really strange.

Xu Shi sensed Shen Qingling's inquisitive expression, Ren Shaoming coughed, and said: "Let's not talk about that, maybe write down the method of classifying physical evidence mentioned by Mrs. Shen Er just now? When I pass it to Master Zhizhou, I will You can ask for something for Mrs. Shen and come back."

The biggest gap between the three brothers is here.

No matter what happened, Ren Shaoming always put the yamen's affairs first, and his father's official duties first, while Ren Shaoyan and Ren Shaochun were more concerned about their brothers or themselves.

"En." Shen Qingling wrote in response, and then asked seemingly unintentionally: "Don't Mr. Ren Dalang care about the whereabouts of that scholar surnamed Qian?"

Visible to the naked eye, Ren Shaoming's face darkened.

He looked back at Shen Qingling, as if hesitating for something, and then explained with a suppressed voice: "To tell you the truth, Mrs. Shen, the fourth younger brother in the family has never been very close to us. He even insisted on marrying the man from Wuliu Alley. Liu Niang of the Zhang family also wanted to oppose us at a critical moment..."

Shen Qingling blinked her eyes, and asked: "Isn't it the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker?"

Ren Shaoming shook his head.

From Ren Shaoming's mouth, Shen Qingling heard the story of an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, but the protagonist of the story was not Shiro from the Ren family, but Zhang Zeyu from the Zhang family.

However, before Ren Bingyi became Zhizhou, the Ren and Zhang families actually had a marriage contract, but the Zhang family disliked that Ren Bingyi had always been a petty official, so they betrothed their eldest daughter to other people.

According to the regulations of the Li Dynasty, those who have already made a marriage contract but do not abide by it will be punished by the public.

Ren Bingyi didn't think about what to do with the Zhang family, so Quan regarded the marriage contract as non-existent and left it behind.Unexpectedly, the news of Ren Bingyi's appointment as magistrate of Yangzhou spread, and the Zhang family moved to Yangzhou overnight, and lived with Ren Zhizhou's in-laws all the time.

In Zhang Zeyu's words, although the eldest daughter of his family is married, there is no shortage of young ladies in his family. If you choose one to marry to Ren's family, it is considered as fulfilling the marriage contract. What about my little lady?

Moreover, if Ren Bingyi refuses to perform the contract, Zhang Zeyu will hold onto Ren Bingyi instead.

Originally, it was good to delay this matter, and the three gentlemen of the Ren family also looked down on the girl of the Zhang family. Who knew that Shiro of the Ren family and Liu Niang of the Zhang family saw each other right at some point, and they kept arguing about their looks over and over again. They stayed together, and because of this, many incidents of life were caused.

Judging from Ren Shaoming's eyes alone, his words are not false.

It's just that Shen Qingling had detected some inside information from Ren Shaochun before, and now if he listened to Ren Shaoming, he knew that he kept silent about Ren Silang, so there must be a problem with Ren Silang's identity.

At this time at the gate of the government office, Yingxiu had been squatting under the eyelids of the two yamen servants for most of the day, but unfortunately she couldn't get in, and she didn't see her own girl come out, so there was only a dejected look on her face.

One of the yamen servants saw Yingxiu's pitiful appearance, so he said a few words to his companion beside him, then strode towards her with a knife in his hand, and asked, "You said you want to find your wife, what is your wife's name?" What is your name? What do you do in the government office?"

Before Yingxiu could speak, a short girl with a very haggard complexion came out from across the street.

When the yamen servant saw her, he immediately sighed, and he didn't care about Yingxiu anymore, he turned his head and said, "Miss Kuang, please go back, I really can't let you in."

There are not many pedestrians on this long street where the Yangzhou Government Office is located. Occasionally, two people pass by, but they are all in a hurry, and they don't want to stay at all.

Yingxiu was the only spectator who witnessed the whole process.

Seeing the lady surnamed Kuang kneeling in front of the yamen servant with a plop, she said with red eyes: "My lord, please do me a favor. I beg you to be the master. Let this concubine come into the mansion to meet Ren Zhizhou. I am willing to work for you... "

"Don't you dare? The little one can't be called an adult." The yamen servant hastily put away his knife to help her, begging for mercy: "You have come here more than a dozen times in the past half a month. The little one knows that you are a filial daughter, but your father The case has already been settled, and it is only waiting for the second trial, even if it is a small matter, you will be let in, and Master Zhizhou will not change his mind."

Mrs. Kuang was unstable and nearly fell.

The yamen servant sighed again, and said, "If you really think that your father is not the murderer, you might as well go to Bianjing and find the marble adults to settle the case for your father. There may be a chance of survival."

After all, even if he is sentenced, it will still be executed after autumn, and now he will only continue to be imprisoned.

After listening for so long, Yingxiu finally realized something. She stretched out her hand to help Mrs. Kuang, and asked softly, "You are Kuang Yuxiang, little lady Kuang?"

Kuang Yuxiang was stunned for a moment, tears were still streaming from the corners of her eyes, she turned her head to Yingxiu, her eyes were blank.

"It seems to be true." Yingxiu was also very surprised, she didn't expect her own wife to be so smart, and she knew that she would meet this Kuang lady outside the door!
Seeing that Yingxiu knew Kuang Yuxiang, the yamen servant breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Since you two know each other well, then please ask the young lady to persuade her not to make her stubborn at the gate of the yamen. If you have the skills, hurry up." Let's go to Bianjing."

"Yes, I'm here to help you, big brother." Yingxiu rested her heart from entering the mansion, and helped Kuang Yuxiang to turn around and walk towards the street corner, comforting her softly: "Don't be afraid, my wife is in the mansion now, she can save your father .”
