2680 Chapter 2681-get up
When Zheng Qiu received the news, she had just finished eating with her brother and was about to talk about Zheng qilang’s problem when the people from the palace came.
....
When Zheng Qiu heard that something had happened at w.a.n.g Tai’s house, he informed his brother and immediately rushed back to pack his things.
After packing up, he went to the court of judicial review to meet Gu Xin.
When Zheng Qiu arrived, Dong Xue was also carrying Gu Xin’s things.
Gu Xin had already called he gang, he Qiang, and the others. The carriage had already been arranged for them. When she saw Zheng Qiu and Dong Xue, Gu Xin asked them to board the carriage, ” “Xiao Qiu, we’ll talk on the way. Get in the car first.”
He gang and he Qiang drove the carriage very quickly. It was only just past noon. If they were fast, they would be able to reach Hongyuan temple before night.
It was closer to Hongyuan temple from the capital than to Tongzhou, but there was a mountain road leading up.
“Xinxin, what’s going on with the w.a.n.g family? Just now, the palace servants didn’t explain clearly. They only said that a life was lost in the w.a.n.g family and that the court of judicial review had to send people to investigate.” Zheng Qiu asked in the car.
“Other than him, the rest of the w.a.n.g family were killed in Hongyuan temple. The time of his death should be after midnight today and before Yin. Even Constable Jin from the Tongzhou Prefecture only has this much information.” Gu Xin said.
what about old w.a.n.g? ” Zheng Qiu knew that fatty w.a.n.g had left for Tongzhou after noon the day before yesterday. He should have arrived the night before yesterday. How did his whole family get killed in the temple?
“Constable Jin doesn’t know where old w.a.n.g is either. He didn’t return home the day before yesterday, and he didn’t see old w.a.n.g even when he came to the capital this morning. I don’t know if old w.a.n.g has returned and if he has heard the news.” Gu Xin said in a low voice.
From may to September, they had been together for a few months. Gu Xin had already treated fatty w.a.n.g as a friend. Now that something like this had happened to her friend’s family, she was worried that her friend, who should have returned home long ago, was nowhere to be seen.
Zheng Qiu did not say anything else, and the atmosphere in the car was quiet for a while.
By the time they arrived at Hongyuan temple, the sky was already dark. Lord Xu and the abbot were already waiting at the door.
Constable Jin was faster than Gu Xin and the rest, so he came back earlier to inform Lord Xu and the rest.
After Gu Xin greeted them and introduced the people around her, she asked, ” “Lord Xu, where’s old w.a.n.g? Did you come back?”
Lord Xu hurriedly replied, ” I heard from the servant boy who guards the city that their carriage broke down the day before yesterday. They went the wrong way when it rained and stayed in the village when it was dark. It rained the entire day yesterday. This morning, they borrowed an ox-cart and rushed back. On the way to the city, they met people from the East and West escort agency and took a ride. His manservant drove the ox-cart and followed behind. Right now, the defender is in the house.”
alright, ” Gu Xin nodded. I’ll go over with Xiao Qiu first. Get the forensic expert from the Tongzhou Prefecture to come over and help.
Lord Xu immediately led Gu Xin and the rest over.
Gu Xin arrived at the courtyard where the incident happened. The moment she entered the courtyard, she saw fatty w.a.n.g sitting in the middle of a few corpses.
“I haven’t had a sip of water, a word, or anything since I came this afternoon,” said Lord Xu. Your Highness, please advise this child!”
yes. Gu Xin nodded her head. get someone to prepare some hot water. I’ll go take a look.
Lord Xu went off to give orders.
Gu Xin walked in and stood beside fatty w.a.n.g, ” old w.a.n.g, I’m here with Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu wants to do an autopsy. Get up.
Fatty w.a.n.g didn’t move, as if he didn’t hear what Gu Xin said. He didn’t even notice Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu appearing beside him.
