Chapter 276 Boss Wei and his wife, have you met the imperial envoy?
In just half a day, more than thirty corpses were taken away, but no relatives had come to find them in the west garden. Towards evening, a couple came over.
Among the densely packed portraits on the wall, I carefully tore off one.
"S-Sir..."
The man walked up to Yinxuewei with the portrait in hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Is the child in this painting still alive..."
Many people gathered outside the mansion with the corpse in their arms, all of them wailing and heartbroken.
As they walked along, their anxious hearts seemed to be squeezed tightly by invisible hands, and they couldn't even breathe.
Yin Xuewei, who was in charge of recording, put down his pen and raised his head, glanced at the red dot in the lower right corner of the portrait, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face, "Alive!"
"Alive, did you hear? Hong Luan is still alive..."
The man turned around and grabbed the woman behind him, with tears in his eyes. The woman's dull expression relaxed a little, and she murmured: "Hongluan, where is my Hongluan..."
"Take me to her quickly!"
"Hongluan..."
She was so excited that she clapped her hands in the air, and her voice suddenly became sharp. The man next to her quickly comforted her softly, "Okay, I'll take you to find Hongluan, we'll go right away..."
"grown ups!"
Yinxuewei understood what he meant and gestured behind him, "Take them to the west side garden!"
This is the first family member to be able to recover a living person.
They listened to the wails and misery for most of the day and felt really happy.
"You guys come with me."
The person leading the way smiled at the couple, turned around and walked away. The couple quickly thanked them and followed them.
Pass through the corpse courtyard and Nian Ming Hall, and go straight along the guard building to enter the garden on the west side.
The couple held an umbrella, and the man tried his best to tilt the umbrella toward the woman. However, her steps were messy and fast, and she couldn't catch it. She kept chanting "Red Luan".
"Slow down and fall carefully."
"Why!"
The three of them walked around a corner and bumped into an oil-paper umbrella with a thrush painted on it hanging from a lush tree.
Yinxuewei paused.
As soon as he stopped, the couple who were following him also stopped at the same time. The woman looked a little anxious and looked around.
"Look, look for..."
"Don't worry, we'll be there soon."
The man comforted her in a low voice. Yinxuewei ignored the movement behind him and raised his hands in the direction of the oil-paper umbrella: "Bamboo Guard, what are you squatting on? Is the girl here?"
The umbrella on the tree moved and a head poked out.
"Where are you going?"
The boy's voice was bright and loud, and the man trembled all over. He raised his umbrella slightly in disbelief, and looked through the rain curtain in that direction.
Yin Xuewei said: "There are family members from the West Garden looking for me. I will take them there to look for them."
"That's it."
Zhu Yan looked behind him boredly, and saw a slightly excited face, "It's you!"
"It's me..."
The two of them spoke almost at the same time.
This couple is none other than Shopkeeper Wei and his wife of Fulai Inn in Wuxi Town. They received news a few days ago that their daughter was found in Hanyang City and asked them to come.
I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
"Do you know each other?"
Yinxuewei looked at the two of them back and forth and asked suspiciously.
Zhu Yan nodded, grabbed the umbrella and jumped down from the tree. He walked to them in a few steps and said, "We know each other. I dragged the letter to them."
He said to the man: "Shopkeeper Wei, long time no see."
"Young Master and Miss, are they still okay?"
Shopkeeper Wei asked.
"Everything is fine."
Zhu Yan responded with a smile, turned to Yin Xuewei and said, "Go and do your work, I'll send them there."
"Alright."
Yinxuewei nodded cheerfully, turned and left.
Shopkeeper Wei thanked him again and again at his back, and waited until the people were gone before he looked away. He looked around and said with emotion: "I heard from outside that there is a high-ranking official from the capital living in this house. It seems that he is
Imperial envoy, bamboo guard, have you seen this lord..."
"I've seen it before."
Zhu Yan nodded matter-of-factly, "Why do you ask this?"
"If it weren't for this gentleman, I'm afraid our couple would not be able to find our daughter. I would like to thank him in person if I have the chance..."
Shopkeeper Wei put his palms together and bowed.
"That's it..."
Zhu Yan smiled and said, "Actually, not only have I seen him, but you, the shopkeeper, have also seen him..."
Shopkeeper Wei was stunned when he heard this, had he seen it before? Where did he go to see the imperial envoy? Looking at the young face opposite and the smile on his face, it took him a long time to finally react.
"You, you mean... Mr. Yan is an envoy sent by the imperial court?"
Shopkeeper Wei's legs felt weak and his mind went blank.
"Shouldn't the imperial envoy be an old man with a gray beard? How could..."
He didn't dare to say the next words.
Zhu Yan was amused by him, "Why are you so young?"
"You are talking nonsense, please don't blame me."
Shopkeeper Wei was trembling all over, and he pulled the woman next to him to kneel down. Seeing how nervous he was, Zhu Yan quickly calmed down and helped him: "Okay, it's a joke, don't take it so seriously."
"That won't work."
Shopkeeper Wei avoided his hand and said, "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. If there was any offense in the past, please don't argue with us for the sake of common people's ignorance..."
Seeing that he insisted on kneeling down, the bluestone floor tiles were full of water, and his clothes would definitely get soaked when he knelt down. Zhu Yan tried to persuade him to no avail, so he had to shout with a straight face: "No kneeling!"
Shopkeeper Wei froze.
"Stand up and speak properly."
Zhu Yan said again.
He hesitated for a moment, then stood upright tremblingly, but his shoulders were slightly hooked, looking afraid.
"You don't have to be like this, we can just get acquainted and talk like before."
"Young ones don't dare."
Bamboo Banquet: "..."
Why is this person so arrogant!
He was speechless for a while, still thinking about enlightening shopkeeper Wei, when footsteps came from the small courtyard, "Then it has been decided. In two days, there will be an interrogation in front of Queyang Street in the inner city. Please prepare everything, Mr. Cao."
"Will Sir Yan be there then?"
"Probably not, but I will be there with the order, so Mr. Cao can rest assured..."
"What to do with the prisoners held here?"
"The Silver Snow Guards will personally escort them there in two days. They have a lot of lawsuits against them. Let's take this opportunity to deal with them together. Punish those who deserve it and kill those who deserve to be killed."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, girl."
"You're welcome, sir."
The two of them walked out of the courtyard one after another. Surao was about to send Cao De'an out of the house, but when he looked up, he saw Zhu Yan and the two people behind him...
"Girl, Shopkeeper Wei and the others are here."
Zhu Yan said.
As soon as Cao De'an saw this situation, he knew that it was not convenient to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly said to Su Rao: "Miss, please stay, I will leave the house by myself."
Surao nodded, "Sir, walk slowly."
When Cao De'an left, he took a special look at Shopkeeper Wei and his wife. Shopkeeper Wei saw that he was wearing an official uniform and hurriedly pulled Mrs. Wei to the side to step aside. He lowered his head and did not dare to move.
"You guys came later than I expected."
