After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 295 Invitation

The next day.

Another day of snow fell, and the yard was completely white, Shen Xian stepped on the snow with Dou Sha in his arms, his footsteps creaking.

However, the lazy Dou Sha seemed unwilling to endure the cold, and slipped out of Shen Xian's arms in a flash, wanting to run into the house.

But as soon as the soft pads touched the snow, Dou Sha's froze hair bristled and hugged Shen Xian's legs tightly.

Shen Xian shook his head angrily, took the little lazy cat by the back of its neck, and put it in the room.

Since Liu Qing took office in the Ministry of Officials, the mansion has become more deserted.

Yan Chongluan didn't come over for dinner these two days, so he must have been hanging around Miss Hongye when he has free time.

"There is no humanity with the opposite sex." Shen Xian complained secretly.

It snowed for many days in a row in the capital, and Shen Xian was already tired of seeing the scenery and snow scenes of the northern country, and was planning to go back to the house to rest.

At this time, a figure hurriedly came from the front yard, Shen Xian looked carefully, it was Gu Lanshu who came.

Gu Lanshu was followed by two maidservants who carried a lot of things in their hands, big and small.

"Daughter, daughter." Gu Lanshu yelled out loudly as soon as she saw Shen Xian.

Shen Xian hastily greeted her, and helped Gu Lanshu feel cold.

"Mother, why don't you rest at home in such a cold day?"

Gu Lanshu held her daughter's hand, reluctant to let go.

"You haven't seen you for many days, and I'm worried about it. It's not the Chinese New Year, so I brought you some New Year's goods."

Shen Xian looked at the big and small bags and called the housekeeper.

"The housekeeper put these things away."

After explaining, Shen Xian pulled, and Gu Lanshu entered the room and sat on the kotatsu.

It was the first time Gu Lanshu saw something like a kotatsu, her kind eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "Where did my daughter make this?"

Shen Xian smiled sweetly: "My husband-in-law made this for me."

Seeing her smiling so happily, Gu Lanshu was also happy.

"It seems that our uncle treats you very well, well, well, mother is relieved that you are having a good time."

After chatting a few words, Gu Lanshu took out an invitation from her bosom and handed it to Shen Xian.

"Your grandfather entrusted me to give it to my aunt. He is afraid that you won't believe me when someone sends it here."

As for those words, Shen Xian snorted lightly, "For sure, he knows something."

Gu Hanlin invited Zhao Shun to have a small gathering in Xuelu tomorrow, although he didn't specify what it was, but at this point in time, Shen Xian could guess that it was probably for joining the cabinet.

Putting the invitation aside, Shen Xian looked like Gu Lanshu and asked, "Mother, how is Gu Fangman doing now?"

Gu Lanshu sighed softly when she heard the words: "On the surface, she has been kicked out of the house, but in fact, Zhao Meilan and the people in the big room send things out from time to time, probably looking for a secluded place to raise her."

Shen Xian sneered when she heard the words, as expected, without Gu Fu's support, how would she dare to ask someone to deal with her.

Seeing her daughter's face changed, Gu Lanshu hurriedly took her hand.

"Daughter, we won't talk about this today."

"Alright, anyway, Hanlin Mansion won't be here for long, and then you will live in our house."

Thinking of being able to get along with her daughter day and night, Gu Lanshu was so happy that even the wrinkles melted away.

Ministry of Punishment.

Zhao Shun flipped through the files day after day, and found some things related to Gu Hanlin.

Half a year ago, a scholar sued Gu Hanlin for defrauding money. The case went to Gyeonggi Prefecture, and then to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, where it was finally silenced.

Seeing this, Zhao Shun couldn't help frowning. He knew Gu Hanlin just now, but he was a second-rank official after all. How could he do something as low as defrauding money?
Something was wrong, Zhao Shunbian took the dossier and went to Gyeonggi Prefecture.

Yin Gaosheng of Gyeonggi Prefecture was very kind when he saw Zhao Shun this time.

"Hahaha, Mr. Minister, what is the important thing to do in Gyeonggi Province today?"

"Investigate a case from half a year ago." Zhao Shun said lightly.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Gao Sheng held back his words.

"I don't know what the case is, can the officer help me?"

Gao Sheng is a person with flexible thinking, since Zhao Shun is serious in doing things, then he will cooperate with seriousness.

The dossier in the hands of Zhao Shun's family was handed over to Gao Sheng. Gao Sheng opened it and looked at it. It turned out that it was related to Gu Hanlin's case.

He has an impression of this case. The scholar who reported the case came for a few days a year, and finally saw that the file disappeared, and left in a daze.

Gao Sheng thought that Zhao Shun was going to clean up some shameful things for Gu Hanlin, so he lowered his voice and said, "Master Minister, this matter has passed the limelight, and people have not pursued it anymore. There is no need to investigate anymore, right?"

Zhao Shun chuckled, and looked at Gao Sheng meaningfully, "It's not that they don't pursue it anymore, but there is no way to pursue it."

"Ah?" Gao Sheng didn't understand what Zhao Shun meant.

"Lord Gao, there is no need to be confused. You just need to give me the address of the person who reported the crime." Zhao Shun said calmly.

Gao Sheng couldn't understand the reason, so he had to call the clerk, and listed the names of the people who registered and reported half a year ago, and found the scholar who made the report.

After getting the scholar's exact address, Zhao Shun bid farewell and left Gyeonggi Province.

Sitting in the carriage and walking along the wide Suzaku Road, it took about half an hour to arrive at a village west of the capital.

The address registered by the scholar was not detailed, it was only written in Baiyang Village, and did not specify which household.

Zhao Shun had no choice but to knock on the door one by one to inquire, and finally found the home of the scholar Wang Ping'an.

After buckling the snow-covered wooden fence, Zhao Shun glanced at the yard. The snow inside was already deep, and it seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time. He thought Wang Ping'an was not at home.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the door of the thatched cottage shook. It seemed that someone inside was trying to push the door open, but it was blocked by thick snow.

Seeing this, Zhao Shun shook his head, so he had no choice but to open the fence and go into the yard to sweep away the snow before opening the door of the thatched cottage.

The people in the room came out with a strange smell on their bodies, dirty and greasy hair that hadn't been washed for a long time, and a pair of dull eyes.

We looked at Zhao Shun's purple official robes in peace, with deep disgust in our cloudy eyes.

"Dog officer." Wang Pingan scolded without fear.

Knowing what happened to him, Zhao Shun was not angry.

"I am the Minister of Criminal Affairs. I found the case you reported in the backlog of cases, so I came here today to inquire about it." Zhao Shun said politely.

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ping'an made a difference.

He had already given up on the original case. He never expected that half a year later, someone would come to his door to investigate the case from that year.

After thinking about it, Wang Ping'an didn't think that this person came to help him to avenge his grievances, and it was very likely that he came to silence him.
