auspicious time has come

When Wang Jingyong first heard the news that Gu Tingnan had left Beijing alone and returned to Beidi, he was stunned for a while.

And then I was amazed--

She just left?

It was agreed to go to the father and keep the son, but the son has not been kept... why go to the father directly!
Thinking that he has been trembling with every possible precaution recently, he is afraid that this woman will kick him away if she succeeds, but what is the situation now?
He said that the gambling shop is busy, so he has to go back to take care of it, no matter how busy or urgent he is, he won't even say hello to him, right?
Although he has no experience in such matters, the answer is still obvious...

Get dumped.

He was dumped.

When this voice appeared in his heart, Deputy General Wang felt like five thunders were hitting his head.

Then, he suddenly thought of something, and called over the subordinates he had sent to the north to inquire about the situation of Gu Tingnan's family——

Things have been busy recently, especially busy, many follow-up matters such as awarding rewards, restoring the status of the general, overturning the case by the Shi family, and even stationing the Lu Long army outside the city need manpower. Those soldiers were transferred after leaving the Ji family that day In the army, everyone never touched the ground from morning to night, and they didn't pay attention to this matter for a while.

It wasn't until this time that the soldier returned to the palace that he was able to tell his lieutenant about it in detail——

"Ms. Gu lost her mother when she was young. When she was 12 years old... her father and brother were imprisoned and executed for murder... Since then, Mrs. Gu has no other relatives."

This not too long sentence left Wang Jingyong in a daze for a long time.

"General, it is often said that in the world there are punishments for people not to marry..." The soldier whispered, "Although Miss Gu is good, in the end..."

Wang Jingyong frowned and interrupted him: "Okay, let's go out."

The soldier shrank his neck and looked around quietly: "... General, but this is outside."

Wang Jingyong: "... Get lost."

"Yes."

The courtyard was silent, Wang Jingyong stood there for a long time, his brows never moved.

After staying for a few days, his parents and brothers came to the capital——

The so-called parents and brothers, only one father is his close relative, the mother is the stepmother, and the two younger brothers are from the stepmother.

In fact, he was not favored at home in the past, since his mother left and his father continued, he seemed to be an outsider.

For a long time, he wanted to make contributions to the family, to prove himself, but subconsciously wanted to be valued by his father, wanted to be looked up to by his stepmother and younger brothers, and now he finally got his wish——

But meeting those gazes at this moment, Wang Jingyong felt a little strange in a trance. He hadn't been home for a long time, and those so-called "obsessions" seemed to be a long time ago.

He didn't think about it any further.

What lies ahead of him now is an extremely bright future.

As for Gu Tingnan——

It might be a good thing that she left now, it really saved him a lot of trouble, otherwise, wouldn't he still have to try to get rid of her?

Although he has no real prejudice against her family affairs, but the secular rules are here, trouble is trouble, if you can save trouble, it is of course a good thing, he never likes trouble——

Exactly so.

Don't think about it any more.

Wang Jingyong made up his mind to expel everything about Gu Tingnan from his mind.

He was busy day after day, as if everything was the same as usual.

The subordinates who went to inquire about the affairs of Gu Tingnan's house before saw it in their eyes, and gradually realized in their hearts - the deputy general had indeed left the matter of Mrs. Gu behind.

On this day several months later, when one of them was reporting business matters to Wang Jingyong, he suddenly asked, "Why did you kill someone?"

Soldier:"?"

Who?
Who did you kill?

"Her father and brother, why did they kill people?" Wang Jingyong asked seriously.

The puzzled look lingered on the soldier's face for quite a while before he was able to ask tentatively, "The general is saying... Mrs. Gu's father and brother?"

"Ah."

Soldier:"……!"

Whoops!
An IQ without gossip really can't understand!
"This...According to some of my subordinates, the person who was killed was a fur businessman. After his death, the father and brother of the Gu family were taken to the yamen, and they confessed in court. They only said that it was a business dispute. …Today, people in the vicinity still think so.”

Facing the eyes of his lieutenant general, the soldier didn't dare to show off at all, and hurriedly continued: "But after digging deeply, the subordinates found out that after the father and brother of the Gu family confessed, Mrs. Gu, who was nearly 12 years old, went to the government to play drums. In front of the county magistrate, she said that the businessman wanted to do something wrong to her, so her father and brother accidentally killed her—"

Wang Jingyong frowned even tighter.

"But her father and brother insisted that she was talking nonsense, and they made such remarks in order to get rid of their crimes... The county magistrate probably also had a distinction in his heart, but whether he killed deliberately or by mistake, he couldn't escape the crime of murder anyway, and later. It is not easy for the author to prove the truth, so as to maintain the original charge and sentence."

Wang Jingyong's heart sank when he heard this.

So, after her father and brother were executed, how did she, a 12-year-old girl, survive and get to where she is today?

Can't imagine.

But I have to think.

When he thought of the answer becoming clear in his heart, he went to find the general and explained his idea of ​​returning to Yingzhou with the general.

The general didn't ask much, just nodded: "Go."

Not "go back", but "go".

He went.

I picked the fastest horse, and the journey was faster than when I was marching.

After entering Yingzhou City, he went straight to the "Qianjin Gu"——

When Wang Jingyong got off his horse outside the gambling house, he saw the woman in the maple red dress in the lobby tugging at the ear of a young clerk: "...Didn't I say last time that you are not allowed to give money to the lame Lu? The family doesn’t even have an egg that can be used to hatch chickens, how can he pay back the money! Could it be that I also crippled his other leg?”

Still such a philistine calculation.

The corner of Wang Jingyong's mouth twitched, but a smile appeared on his stubble-covered face.

After more than a hundred days, I finally saw her again.

As if aware of that gaze, Gu Tingnan in the hall raised his eyes to look outside the door, and was startled when he saw that person.

After a moment of daze, she walked out quickly.

"...What is this picture of being exiled for thousands of miles?"

Wang Jingyong's smile froze on his face: "...can you expect me to order?"

It really didn't occur to me that the first sentence we met was this——

"Then why are you returning to Yingzhou at this time, could it be that... there is another war going on in the Northland?" Gu Tingnan asked in a low voice.

"...Can you hope that the imperial court will order it?"

Gu Tingnan wanted to ask again "Then why are you", only to hear him preemptively: "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Looking at the dusty and even messed-up appearance of the person she hadn't seen for a long time, it was obvious that she had come to look for her as soon as she entered the city without even caring about changing clothes. Let people investigate the affairs of my house?"

Wang Jingyong was taken aback: "You know?"

Therefore, the reason why she left without saying goodbye was because——

There was an answer ready to come out in my mind, and I blurted out a sentence from my heart: "I just want to find some people who can support me and make decisions for me in the future!"

"Back up and decide?" Gu Tingnan looked at the man who was as tall as a mountain with weird eyes.

Wang Jingyong's complexion changed for a while, and his eyes dodged for a while.

"So, it's all about investigating my family, and knowing everything about me, what does Vice-General Wang think?" After Gu Tingnan asked, he replied: "This story is too redundant. I haven't said a word for several months, and I can still do it." What's your idea—I heard that Vice-General Wang has been very busy discussing relatives in the past few months, could it be that he is picking and choosing and choosing the next best thing?"

"I--"

Wang Jingyong opened his mouth, his tongue seemed to be tied.

Seeing this, Gu Tingnan turned around and walked towards the gambling house.

Without looking back, he ordered the buddy: "Close the door."

"and many more!"

Wang Jingyong hurried forward, but was still a step late, watching the door of the gambling house being closed before his eyes.

"Shopkeeper Gu, we haven't gone out yet...!" The gamblers shouted inside.

……

After standing outside the casino for a quarter of an hour, Wang Jingyong got on his horse and left.

"Here comes the six-cage steamed stuffed bun."

Sitting in a bun shop, Wang Jingyong immersed himself in eating.

Only when the stomach is full can I have the strength to think about things.

The "results" of his side were all focused, and just as he was about to stuff the last bun into his mouth, the shopkeeper of the bun shop came over with a surprised tone: "It's really Vice-General Wang!"

Wang Jingyong looked up at him, chewing without stopping.

Brother Shun Shui, who is now the shopkeeper of Ganji Steamed Bun Shop branch, raised his hand to salute Wang Jingyong, and then asked happily: "My boss and my son-in-law went to Beijing to congratulate the prince and Mrs. Ji. I haven't sent a letter saying that I will come back. Why did Deputy General Wang return to Yingzhou so quickly?"

"It turns out that our lord is actually a descendant of the Shi family. It's really a tiger father without a son!"

"I heard that Deputy General Wang has the merit of escorting and has been named General Yunhui. I am really happy and congratulated!"

"Miss Ji... No, we also heard about the debate match that Bachelor Ji won in Chongwen Hall in Yingzhou, and it was even more sensational among the students in Fengshan Academy outside the city!"

"Vice General Wang..."

Full of thoughts, Vice General Wang couldn't bear to look up at the noisy person: "Have you married a wife yet?"

"Ah..." Shun Shui said with a reserved smile, "Not yet, but already engaged."

Deputy General Wang: "...?"

Didn't you get settled last year?
How to achieve the rapid development of career and marriage together?

Is it reasonable?
Are you polite?
At this time, a young lady walked in, and Shun Shui hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "Miss Jiayuan is here!"

Wang Jingyong looked over subconsciously, and saw that the woman was followed by an elegant and well-behaved young man, who was extraordinarily handsome.

"..."

He didn't want to ask at all what the relationship between the young man and Da Zhu's sister was!
After all, the suspense is not too great...

It must be known that those shocking proposals such as "recruit a handsome man" and "remove the father and keep the son" were the result of collisions between them...

Seeing the young man's considerate and thoughtful appearance that made other men have nowhere to go, Vice General Wang silently looked away.

The world has fallen to such a field...

I always feel that it is very difficult to win back that woman's heart.

But Vice General Wang, who has thought through this journey thoroughly, will not give up lightly.
