Chapter 1349 Liu Wei’s Exposure

Ding Wuniang remained silent for a long time. She looked calm, but her expression changed a lot in an instant. Liu Wei kept waiting patiently for her. Finally, after waiting for a cup of tea, she heard her say: "The Wan family has a background in the court. No one believed what Old Li Tou said. He went to the Yamen to report the case. The people from the Yamen But he accused him of talking nonsense and slandering noble people. He had no choice. He knew that the people did not fight with the officials, so he had to swallow his anger and never mention it again. It was only later that I learned that there were witnesses to Hongfen's death. When I found him, the old man Li Tou refused to say anything. He had been warned by the yamen. At that time, I saw a little girl in his room. She was as young as green, tender and tender, well-behaved and smart. Old Li Tou said she was just like that. Daughter, his daughter lost her mother a long time ago. He didn’t have much hope. He just wanted to see his daughter grow up and get married. He didn’t want to cause trouble or meddle in other people’s business... But I wasn’t convinced. I just have such a bad temper. I questioned He went through the details, and he finally told me

After hearing this, I was very angry and had no scruples, so I spread the news in the village. I thought at the time, no matter whether it would be taken seriously by the government or not, I didn’t want to make those evil people so happy, but... I didn’t expect it. After so many years, Old Man Li will die in an unknown manner..."

The death of Li Yuer's father has always been the crux of the matter that Liu Wei wanted to investigate. Ding Wuniang's tone was very regretful, and her voice became a little depressed from the previous strong voice: "Not long after Hongfen's case passed, the magistrate of Xijin County at that time was promoted and went to other places. The magistrate who came later was The current County Magistrate Song is a miser who doesn't care about anything except money. The incident had been over for a while, and the rumors outside were also very unpleasant for Sun Tong and his wife. Frankly speaking, I know that they can't be stopped. The so-called noble queen, I have adjusted myself to calm down as much as possible. Later, I didn’t want to dwell on the old things anymore. This matter just

It passed so slowly, but I never thought that Old Li Tou would lose his life seven or eight years later because of those rumors..."

Liu Wei's expression was serious: "What happened?" "I don't know either." Ding Wuniang pressed her temples and rubbed her temples: "Old Li Tou died three years ago. No one knows why. Things in the past will still be uncovered. When Hongfen died, there was a lot of rumors about the witnesses, and there was no movement in the Sun family and the Wan family. But so long ago, how could it be uncovered again? When I found out, Lao Li Tou was already dead. I hadn’t seen him for many years. His little daughter had become a big girl. But I heard that he was so stimulated by his father’s death that he went crazy overnight. I thought about it. Bring that girl to Wanyanfang,

After all, she was helpless and crazy. How could she survive alone? But the people in Heishui Village refused. They probably thought I was fishing in troubled waters, so they held the girl tightly and chased me away with a broom. After that, I never visited her again, and I never mentioned this matter to anyone else. . "Actually, Ding Wuniang didn't mention it because she was afraid. Old Man Li died because of what happened back then. She was afraid that those noble people would find out that she was one of the middlemen who spread the rumors and come to trouble her, so she kept doing it. , completely pretending to be stupid, and after that, even if I felt guilty, I

He refused to take another look at Li Yu'er, fearing that his secret would be revealed if he wasn't careful.

Self-preservation is the norm for everyone. Liu Wei didn't want to make any judgment on this. She thought for a while, turned her head and looked at Wan Zhong.

"What happened three years ago?"

Wan Zhong didn't say anything. In fact, he scorned what Ding Wuniang said from the beginning. He always believed that his sister was wronged, and this idea never wavered.

But when he mentioned that the so-called "witness" died three years ago, he couldn't help but think of one thing.

A very important event.

There was something vaguely touched in his heart, but Wan Zhong didn't answer. He lowered his head and deliberately avoided it.

Military generals are not as shrewd as civil servants, and they are slow to conceal their expressions and movements. Liu Wei could see the hidden secrets almost at a glance. She narrowed her eyes and moved closer to him: "Is something really wrong?"

Wan Zhong stepped back a little, his eyes rolling wildly: "No, nothing happened." Liu Wei revealed without mercy: "Something did happen, right? Let me see what happened, about your adoptive father? Well? , right? About your sister? Not right? Could it be that it’s about you?" At this point, Liu Wei saw Wan Zhong’s right finger twitching: "

Yo, is this really about you? "

Wan Zhong was a little angry, gasping and staring at Liu Wei, his scalp numb: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Liu Wei suddenly held Wan Zhong's wrist, pressed his fingertips on his pulse, and laughed out loud for a moment: "Your heart is beating so fast, are you so nervous?"

Wan Zhong hurriedly broke away from her hand, swallowed his saliva, and stood up: "This place of fireworks is so smoky, I have to leave!" As he said that, he walked quickly out the door.

Liu Wei followed and quickly stood in front of Wan Zhong, blocking the door.

"Speak clearly before leaving."

Wan Zhong became angry: "What did you say? I have nothing to say!" Liu Wei stared into his eyes and said in a serious voice: "There are only three things that can make a man angry, money, power, and love. Your adoptive father is Wan Zhong. Li, you can't be short of money. You don't have wives or concubines, but you have a good relationship, and you don't lack women. If you eliminate it, there is only one power left. This is the three things you are unwilling to say clearly.

What happened years ago is related to your power. "

Liu Wei used an affirmative sentence instead of a question, and Wan Zhong suddenly felt a little slippery and confused.

Wan Zhong believed that he was not a very smart person, but he could not be so stupid that just anyone could see through him. He was a little panicked, and his eyes swayed when he looked at Liu Wei: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Wei looked him up and down. Because there was not much information, she could only guess and lie: "Since it is about power, there is only between promotion and demotion. Is it a demotion? Oh, no..."

Wan Zhong yelled: "When did I say no!" Liu Wei said expressionlessly: "Your eyes have already told me, then it will either be demoted or promoted. There was a promotion opportunity three years ago, right? That opportunity It’s hard-won. Your adoptive father doesn’t want you to miss it. He wants to make sure that you can ascend. But what does this have to do with the death of Mr. Li?

relation? Unless, someone took advantage of the Hongfen case to affect the reputation of your Wan family and threatened your adoptive father. In order to help you get promoted, your adoptive father sent people to get rid of Father Li..."

What she said was actually reasonable, but Liu Wei felt something was wrong. When she thought about it more, she knew something was wrong. "It's not your foster father, it's your sister. Your foster father is shrewd and scheming, and he won't be easily threatened. It's your sister, right? Someone threatened her and asked her to do something, otherwise your future will be ruined. Did your sister protect you?"
