Zhong Niangzi Wanfu

Chapter 34 Who gave you the guts
一
The war horses Zhang Zhu specially asked He Ming to prepare could not match the speed of horses used by ordinary people.In less than two days, several people rushed back to Yong'an in Danzhou from Quanzhou.

It was already noon when we arrived at Wen Mansion. Zhong Lan stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Open the door! I'm back!"

Yun Qi opened the door and cried when he saw Zhong Lan: "Miss Lan! Go and save my girl!"

Zhong Lan's heart suddenly tightened, and he found out the whole story after a brief inquiry.

The next day after she left, Cai Shi asked people to come to her door to hire someone. The name of the hire was actually a threat. If Wen Shu didn't comply, she would have to seal up the property and convict the clerk.

Wen Shu delayed again and again, but finally didn't wait until Zhong Lan put on her wedding dress and got into Cai's sedan chair.

"How long has Wen Shu been gone?" Zhong Lan asked patiently, trembling all over.

"One stick of incense, the girl is gone and there is one stick of incense!" Yun Qi knelt down and kowtowed to Zhong Lan and Zhang Xu, "Girl is very ambitious, and if you commit yourself to others, you will not be short-sighted. I also ask Miss Lan and the young master to save my girl!"

"I'll go." Zhang Yufei got on his horse, "Don't worry, I will definitely stop her."

Zhang Yun tried his best to rush to the Cai Mansion as quickly as possible: The Cai Mansion did not look like it was a happy event, there were no words of "happy" on the red silk, and there was only a small sedan with a red top stopped at the door.

Wen Shu was covered with a hikerchief and was being supported by Yun Le, and was about to enter through the side door.

"Miss Wen!" Zhang Zhu got off his horse and quickly stepped forward to hold Wen Shu's arm, "Don't do anything stupid!"

Wen Shu was startled, opened her wedding dress, and saw the person coming: "Young Master Zhang?"

Zhang Tong was also surprised: the woman under the hijab had delicate makeup, bright eyes and white teeth, the rouge on her cheeks was just right, three thousand black hair was tied into a woman's bun, and there was only one jade hairpin on her hair. She was thin and thin with a thin waist. Yingying was less than a handful, and the wedding dress was not the red one worn by the first wife but rather a reddish color, which made Zhang Zhuo feel more and more wronged by her.

"You can't marry Cai Shi!" Zhang Zhuo came to his senses and said hurriedly. He pulled Wen Shu out a few steps, further away from the aggrieved door. He was afraid of offending Wen Shu, so he coughed twice. He said, "I'm late, don't do anything stupid."

The gatekeeper of the Cai Mansion saw something different and rushed to report it, soon the gate of the Cai Mansion opened, and Cai Shi walked out with his hands behind his back. He was only wearing ordinary clothes, as if he had nothing to do with the happy event outside the door.

On the other hand, Zhang Yun, who was wearing a dark red robe with a fox collar and a black half-arm fur coat, looked more like a couple when standing with Wen Shu, who was wearing a wedding dress. The two of them had good looks. If it weren't for this situation, who would Don't you say that you are a talented man and a beautiful woman?
Cai Shi was angry, but when he saw that the person coming was Zhang Yan, because of Zhang Yan's face, he smiled and said, "I wonder what Mr. Zhang is doing here?"

Zhang Zhuo pulled Wen Shu behind him and bowed to Cai Shi: "Mr. Cai, Miss Wen is very filial, who gave you the courage! Wen's family has not even finished the case, so it rushes to marry someone else's daughter and occupy the family's possessions. Wenfu’s industry?”

"Young Master Zhang, what are you talking about?" Cai Shi smiled calmly, "This is Miss Wen who married me for protection in order to protect the Wen family. Kuang doesn't have to avoid filial piety when taking concubines."

After saying that, Cai Shi looked at Wen Shu again: "Shu'er, do you think so?"

Wen Shu's body trembled slightly, she felt sick in her heart and was speechless.

"Miss Wen hasn't married into the Cai Mansion yet. Mr. Cai, please have some virtue in your mouth." Zhang Zhu said through gritted teeth.

Cai Shi chuckled twice: "This Wen Shu is just a merchant's daughter. Young Master Zhang doesn't have to be so angry with Cai because of her. If I remember correctly, Young Master Zhang should be in Quanzhou now, why did he come to Yong'an for no reason? ?”

Seeing that Zhang Zhuo didn't answer, Cai Shi pointed at Wen Shu with a smile: "Is it possible that the young master really just does it for her? If word of this spreads out, there is no guarantee that Master Zhang will not be humiliated."

"Don't pressure me with my father." Zhang Zhu took out the talisman from his arms and placed it in front of Cai Shi. "You should take good care of it. This is my father's governor's talisman. He specially ordered me to come to Yong'an to help handle the case and cooperate with the county. The Yamen tried the case of the Wenfu!"

Cai Shi's smile froze slightly, and something strange flashed in his eyes: "Does Miss Wen also mean this?"

Wen Shu hesitated for a moment and raised her eyes to look at Zhang Zhuo.

Zhang Zhu nodded and whispered, "Believe me."

Wen Shu took a deep breath, took off the hipa decisively, bowed to the two, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I am willing to let Young Master Zhang assist in the trial."

"In this way, this marriage is over." Zhang Zhuo quickly helped Wen Shu up, took off his fur coat and put it on her body.

"Then Cai's betrothal gift..." "I have already brought people to count and deliver it!" Before Cai Shi could finish his words, Zhong Lan's clear voice interrupted him.

I saw Zhong Lan, Chang Huan and Yun Qi, pushing a few pitifully few boxes on a cart and stopping in front of the Cai Mansion.

Zhong Lan stepped forward to hold Wen Shu, and his voice immediately started to sob: "Didn't I say I won't let you do stupid things? Why didn't you wait for me to come back!"

Wen Shu said nothing, only lowered her head and cried silently.

"Well, since we don't plan to get married, I will handle the case impartially!" Cai Shi said angrily, "In this case, I will seal up the Wen Mansion and interrogate Wen Dahai in prison. Will Miss Wen still persist?"

Wen Shu hesitated when she heard her father's name.

"My lord! My lord is not good!" A footman hurried over on horseback, and he could tell that he was a jailer because of his attire.

The soldier dismounted and stepped forward. He knelt down in front of Cai Shi with a "plop" sound and said in horror: "Wen Dahai heard about Miss Wen's marriage, pulled his belt and threw himself into the sea."

Cai Shi's eyes widened, he glanced at Wen Shu who was stunned on the spot, and kicked the soldier away: "Who let it slip!"

"Young man, I don't know." The pawn was kicked so hard that he staggered to his feet, clutching his chest.

Wen Shu pushed Zhong Lan away like crazy, turned around and ran towards the street.

"Ride faster!" Zhang Tong called Wen Shu and pointed to his horse.

Wen Shu didn't say much, got on Zhang Zhuo's horse and left in the dust.

Zhong Lan was worried about Wen Shu, so he grabbed the jailer's horse and followed him.

Zhang Zhuo gave Cai Shi a deep look and led others to chase him.

When Wen Shu threw herself in front of the clerk and cried until she could no longer cry a single tear, she felt that she had cried all her life's tears in a few months.

Zhong Lan also wept silently at the side, not knowing what words he could use to persuade Wen Shu.

Zhang Zhuo's horse was gone, so he and his men rushed to the county jail on foot, a little later than Zhong Lan.

Wen Shu's eyes were swollen from crying and she took off her wedding dress. Inside was the filial piety dress for the Zheng family.

She stepped forward and struggled to carry the clerk on her back.

Zhang Zhuo said softly and carefully: "I have brought people here, please save your energy, you will need to take charge of the following matters."

Wen Shu silently adopted Zhang Zhuo's suggestion and asked someone to carry the clerk while she walked in front.

Zhong Lan took off his moon-white cloak and put it on Wen Shu's shoulders. He supported Wen Shu while Zhang Shu walked aside. Everyone slowly left the county prison and walked towards Wen's mansion.

The Wen family has been in Yong'an City for decades. They have been generous and fair in doing business. There has never been a shortage of money in the shop, and they have an excellent reputation.The people of Yong'an naturally do not believe that Wen Fu is guilty.

When the people on the street saw this, they all made way for Wen Shu and saluted along the street.

Her father and mother passed away one after another, Wen Yi has not been found, and Wen's family property has been confiscated. For a moment, Wen Shu seemed to have been drained of her spirit and energy. She really had no strength. Her legs and feet felt like lead, and half of her body was leaning on Zhong Lan. .

It started to snow again in the sky, and the Yong'an snow fell almost day and night this month, as if it was mourning the injustice of the world again.

Wen Shu held on to her energy and walked back to the Wen Mansion step by step. She ordered people to hang up the white cloth that she had just put away, and began to organize the funeral ceremony outside the clerk.
