1775 Investigation

The mother and daughter of the Li family survived death, and were all in shock, especially when they saw the corpse on the ground, Niangzi, Sanniang Kang Ning, and Si Niang Haode's face turned pale.

On the contrary, the old lady Shouhua and Wu Niang Leshan reacted normally.

The Li family was naturally grateful to his life-savior Wang Gang. If it weren't for knowing that the other party was an official, Niang Li would have wanted to marry his daughter to him.

After Wang Gang saved the man, he was not idle. After all, he had more than a dozen lives. Although he killed him, he still needed to report to the government.

Niangzi Li asked the servants to collect weapons, but most of the servants were female relatives. They had never seen such a scene and dared not take action at all.

Wang Gang gathered the weapons himself and asked Niang Li to keep them. He then gathered the bodies to prevent them from being scared.

In the carriage, Sanniang Kang Ning picked up the curtain and looked out, and kept observing Wang Gang silently.

"Kangning, what are you looking at?" asked Aunt Shouhua lowered the curtain of the car.

"That Lord Wang doesn't seem to be an ordinary person." Sanniang Kang Ning said carefully.

"Of course he is not ordinary. Look at him just shooting arrows, and the arrows were shot without any missed. There are few bow and horse shooting skills in the world." Wu Niang Leshan said excitedly.

Sanniang Kangning whispered: "Mr. Wang killed people like mowing grass. He could wipe out them all in the face of more than a dozen thieves. Such skills are not much better than those of the ancient generals."

Aunt Shouhua agreed: "Mr. Wang must have been on the battlefield!"

Sanniang Kangning thought, "Just just now, Lord Wang said that he was originally a county magistrate of Suzhou. I remember that Suzhou borders Xixia. It seems that the war has just subsided there?"

The aunt nodded and said, "Yes, although I have not had a great battle with Xixia in the Song Dynasty over the years, there is still no peace in Suzhou. Lord Wang can be a county magistrate there, so he must be a person with great ability."

Si Niang Haode said curiously: "I see that Lord Wang is not old and is at most in his early twenties. I wonder if he has a marriage?"

Wu Niang Leshan joked: "Sister Four is Sichun."

Si Niang was so virtuous and shy, and cursed with a smile: "I see you, I think of the spring. Before, everyone saw the look you looked at Lord Wang."

The four sisters had no scruples to chat, and they were in the carriage, so they were not worried about being heard by others.

"Mr. Wang is from Bianjing and a county magistrate. At his age, he should have been married long ago!" Master Shouhua guessed.

"With Lord Wang's age and status, even if he is not married, it is not something that our merchant family can match." Sanniang Kangning reminded his sisters: "Don't think about it all."

Si Niang Haode and Wu Niang Leshan secretly opened the curtain of the car and glanced at Wang Gang again, but quickly withdrew their gaze and stopped having any delusions.

It was just that they were calm, but their mothers didn't.

Niangzi Li had been directing his servants to help Wang Gang retain his body in one place, and then sent someone to ride a horse to find someone on the official road and notify the government.

After working hard for a long time, it was already dark. Niangzi Li couldn't leave for a while, so he could only settle down nearby. He might have to sleep in the carriage at night.

"Qionu, go and make a fire, and we will cook cakes tonight." Niangzi Li settled her daughter and started asking the child bride Qiongu to prepare dinner. She went to treat Wang Gang to dinner by herself.

"Mr. Wang, I have someone prepare some food. Can you eat something with us tonight?"

Niang Li was very polite to Wang Gang, not only because he was the savior, but also because the other party was an official.

"I can't go there anymore. You guys are all female relatives, so it's not convenient for me to go there."

Wang Gang deliberately found a place far away from the Li family to make a fire and sleep peacefully, just to avoid the melon field and plum blossoms, which ruined the reputation of other women's family members.

"Then I'll get someone to take the food over later." Niangzi Li naturally wouldn't force it, and she also saw that Wang Gang was a gentleman.

"I'm in trouble." Wang Gang said with a smile.

The more Mr. Li looked at Wang Gang, the more he liked him. He couldn't help but ask, "I just heard from Lord Wang that you are from Bian Jing. Are you going home to visit relatives?"

Wang Gang explained: "I am from Bianjing. I passed the Jinshi three years ago and was sent to Suzhou as an official. Now I have been transferred back to the capital. We are considered the same route."

Niangzi Li said happily: "It turns out that Lord Wang is Gao Sheng back to Beijing, congratulations!"

Wang Gang said modestly: "It's not considered a high promotion, it's just a level adjustment."

Niangzi Li smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is alone and has not brought his family?"

Wang Gang said: "The elders in my family stayed in Bianjing. I took office alone at the beginning. Now that I am transferred back to Beijing, I can reunite my family."

Niangzi Li tentatively said: "Look at the age of Lord Wang, he should have been married. It is really hard for the couple to live in two places, and they are not good at relationships."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "I haven't gotten married yet."

"Ah! I haven't gotten married yet!" Niangzi Li became excited and continued to write Wang Gang's words.

Wang Gang also saw Niang Li's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh and cry, but he was not angry.

Niangzi Li pulled Wang Gang to chat, and quickly returned to the carriage, and said to his four daughters happily:

"I've inquired. Lord Wang was a Jinshi from the previous class. He served as an official for three generations. His father was the governor of Yangzhou. His grandfather seemed to be a fourth-rank official!"

When the old lady Shouhua heard this, she reminded: "Mom, why did you ask Lord Wang for those things? Be careful to annoy others."

Niangzi Li smiled and said, "That Lord Wang is quite talkative and has no airs, he is easy to get along with, and he is not married yet?"

Sanniang Kangning said strangely: "At the age of Lord Wang, why is he not married yet? Is there anything hidden? "

The aunt grabbed the third sister's hand and said, "Stop talking, that's their privacy, it's hard for us outsiders to inquire about it."

Niangzi Li Qiyi said, "Shouhua, do you think we can get married to Lord Wang?

I think he is a good person and he is an official. If Sanniang can marry him as a wife, we will definitely not be afraid of the Li family."

Hearing his mother's words, Sanniang Kang Ning blushed, Si Niang Haode and Wu Niang Leshan also looked expectant.

The old lady’s birthday can still remain calm.

"Mom, he is a family of officials and has been officials for three generations. How could he fall in love with a small family like us? You must not ask about marriage to Lord Wang?" Master Shouhua reminded.

"Of course I know." Niangzi Li sighed and said, "With such a family background, the eldest lady must be a daughter of a high school. Even if you marry, you can only be a concubine. I can't bear to be a concubine for someone."

Seeing that my mother could understand the truth, my aunt immediately felt relieved.

Niangzi Li lifted the curtain and said to the outside world: "Qiongnu, you can bake a few cakes and send them to Lord Wang later."

"I understand, mother." Qiongnu said with a graceful look on his face.

"Mom, don't always call Qiongnu, she is not a servant." Auntie Shouhua reminded.

"Hmph, I won't call her, whom I'll call her? I picked her up from the street and wanted to be my wife for Fan'er, but I didn't expect Fan'er to be washed away by the flood to save her." Niangzi Li said with resentment:

"If I had known, I wouldn't have picked her up, otherwise my Fan'er wouldn't have died."

Seeing that his mother became more and more excited, Sanniang Kang Ning quickly comforted her: "Mom, you can't blame Qiongnu for this. Besides, I always feel that my brother is not dead. He and I are twins, and I feel that he is still alive!"

Niangzi Li's eyes were red and said, "If Fan'er was still alive, why didn't he come back to find us? We searched along the river for several months. If he was still alive, we wouldn't be bullied by the Li family."
