Zhou was anxious, but Song Hong understood Wang's thoughts. Not to mention Xu Shu's engagement, just saying that Xu Shu couldn't look at this, then he would not be able to fulfill his promised marriage. Wang was still thinking about this engagement. "Old lady, don't worry, Song keeps his word. Since Miss Ninth has already decided on the marriage, then..."
"Why wouldn't I recognize Miss Ninth as my adopted daughter?" Zhou understood what Song Hong meant, knew what Song Hong was going to say, and hurriedly took over the conversation. She was not willing to marry the Xu family. Now Xu Shu came forward, which was just right for her. However, the Xu family refused to let go of the marriage, and Song Hong also planned to compromise.
"Sister Shu'er was seriously ill that year and had already sent her name to Hanxi Temple..." Wang said slowly, meaning that Xu Shu was already in front of the Bodhisattva, and there was no need to recognize people from the world as a fucking kiss.
Zhou thought of Master Miaofan and could only stare at him. At this time, Song Hong said, "Since that's the case, why would our two families make a marriage contract and choose the right junior to marry in the future?"
Wang passed the Song family juniors in his mind and found that only Song Wencai had not yet been settled, and was not afraid of the Song family playing tricks, so he hurriedly agreed.
Regardless of Zhou's dissatisfaction, Song Hong wrote a marriage letter to Xu Guan on the spot. After the engagement was settled, Song Hong asked Xu Shu, "I don't know when Miss Jiu will..."
"It's OK at any time!" Xu Shu replied.
Zhou didn't care about being dissatisfied with the marriage, so he was determined to save his son as soon as possible, and hurriedly said, "It's better to choose a day than to meet the day, but it's better to be today!"
Xu Guan also wanted the matter to settle as soon as possible, so he nodded, "Okay!"
Li felt a little distressed, "Sister Shu just woke up today, so how could she bear the fatigue? Let's talk about it when she rests for a few days!"
Xu Shu shook her head, "I'm fine. I'll have to go to my master's place to listen to Zen in two days, and I'll have time to do this in a few days!"
Xu Shu agreed, but Li was not good at opposing it. She had always been reluctant to let her daughter go, so she could only let Xu Shu go.
Li wanted to ask Xu Shu to bring all the people he served, but Xu Shu finally brought Wan Feng and Lu He. Xu Shu had to take Wan Feng wherever he went, and Lu He was forced by Li because Xu Shu was injured and asked, so Xu Shu took him there.
Xu Shu's carriage was specially made by Xu Hui for her. It was the same as other carriages on the outside, but it had a unique world inside. All the utensils were rounded and the walls of the carriage were wrapped in thick satin to prevent Xu Shu from shaking.
Seeing Song Hong coming with a carriage again, Lu Jinli felt helpless, afraid that it would be a farce like last time, wasting his time and energy in vain. Unexpectedly, a woman with a hood walked down the carriage this time. The first thing she said was, "I can find out the real murderer of the accusation case!"
Lord Lu was so shocked that he forgot Guan Yi stood up after the case, "What did you say?"
"I can find out the real culprit in the accusation case!" Xu Shu repeated.
Lord Lu was a little excited and asked again, "Are you telling the truth?"
"yes!"
Lord Lu was really excited now. At least he could relieve himself. It would be best to be able to solve the case. If he couldn't solve the case, he could also use this as a reason to gain more time to solve the case.
"I want to go to the crime scene to see it!" Xu Shu said.
"Do you still need to see it? Didn't you come from that place?" a voice said sarcastically.
It was Liu Dou, a folk detective found by King Ji. He was just an ordinary citizen. He had helped the county magistrate solve many unsolved cases and the reputation of a detective was revealed. This time he was found by King Ji. He originally planned to show his skills and make King Ji look at him with admiration. From then on, he rose to prominence. Unexpectedly, the case handling in Beijing was different from what he thought. These children of aristocratic families could not be beaten and left him helpless. Fortunately, the few people who came with him had no idea. However, at this time, a person suddenly appeared and said that he could solve the case and cut off his path to success. How could he be convinced? He spoke out without saying that he could not help.
"I don't!" Xu Shu shook her head gently.
Xu Shu's gentle tone made Liu Dou even worse, "Don't deny it, identify those people early, so that you can ask the Lord to close the case early, Lord Lu, do you think so?"
Lu Jinli was already a little curious about why Xu Shu was so confident that she could solve the case. When she heard Liu Dou's words, she couldn't help but suspect that Xu Shu was one of the abducted ladies, otherwise how could she be so sure to find the murderer.
"Bang!" Wanfeng slapped Liu Dou with lightning speed.
Liu Dou Ran stood up suddenly and wanted to fight back, but Wan Feng had already returned to Xu Shu. "I dare to disrespect my lady, it would be light to slap you!"
Liu Dou's eyes were so angry that his eyes were red, "You can't do the best, you can't do the best, you can't do the best, you are a slave..."
"She is a good friend." Xu Shu glanced at Liu Dou, "She was given to me by the Empress Dowager."
Liu Dou widened his eyes in disbelief, but he no longer dared to speak wildly.
Wanfeng was indeed given to Xu Shu by the Empress Dowager. After Xu Shu's righteous act of saving her brother from the sea of fire was introduced into the palace, the Empress Dowager summoned her after her injuries were healed. On the way to Cining Palace, she met the Little Wanfeng who was bullied by the great palace maid. Later, when the Empress Dowager asked her what reward she wanted, she wanted Wanfeng.
Only then did Lord Lu remembered that the lady Xu family in front of him was the famous Xu Shu. Before Xu Shu could remember that he had not yet remembered it, he hurriedly stopped Liu Dou, "Since Miss Xu is going to see the crime scene, then let's go now!"
Lu Jinli was also in a hurry to solve the case and hurriedly gathered people to go to the place where the accident happened. The capital was not far from the place where the accident happened. Next to the Guanyin Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, next to the Miaoyue Lake, the incense of Guanyin Temple was scarce, so the abbot tried his best to build a Guanyin cave, digging winding and twisting mountain paths in the mountain, and there were statues of Guanyin statues of various shapes on the cave wall. This brought pilgrims to the Guanyin Temple. The incense of Guanyin Temple gradually became prosperous, but the good times did not last long. One of the young ladies who came to Guanyin Temple disappeared one after another. At first, one occasionally was lost, and they would be found after a few hours. The embarrassing family was unwilling to speak out, so they covered it up. Later, several were lost at once, and the matter was exposed.
Among the people who lost this time, Xu Yuan was the one who lost it.
After the accident, the Guanyin Temple was sealed and all the people inside were jailed. However, the Guanyin Cave was not in the Guanyin Temple. In the back mountain behind it, the monks in the temple did not know how the people were kidnapped. The abbot had already burned himself when the official sent appointing people. Lord Lu was helpless.
