Chapter 358 Xie Yingfeng was detained
"Where is Weidong now?" Su Jixiang asked.
"He went to the prison in the government office again." Lu Shui said, "He wanted to visit Madam Qu and see what the situation is like in the prison. The government office is now full of people from the Censorate, and even Lord Xie is not allowed to enter the prison in the government office."
"Send a message to Wei Dong, and tell him to contact us immediately if anything happens. He can't act rashly. Let Wei Feng go and see what's going on with Cui Yushan." Su Jixiang said after thinking for a moment. "Is there any news from Lord Xie about Madam Qu's detention? Let Guihua ask. The Marquis is patrolling the border these days, and I'm afraid he won't be back soon. I guess they want to take advantage of the Marquis' absence from Mangcheng these days, so they are anxious to convict Madam Qu. We must know what they have in their hands that can control Madam Qu."
"Yes." Not long after Lu Shui responded and went out, Qu Wanning, who had just left the general's mansion, ran back again.
"Good luck!" Her pretty face was covered with beads of sweat, her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were full of anxiety, "Xie Yingfeng was detained by the Censor!"
She had just returned from Su Jixiang's place, and halfway there she met the follower who came to report the news.
From the followers, he learned that the Censor-in-Chief suddenly came with an imperial edict to arrest Xie Yingfeng, and used the people they brought with them to seal off the prefect's government office.
Qu Wanning didn't even go home and turned around to look for Su Jixiang.
She was extremely anxious now, and she didn't know why the government office was sealed and why Xie Yingfeng was detained, but she knew that it was right to come to Su Jixiang.
"Is it so serious? Even Xie Yingfeng has been detained?" Su Jixiang stood up and welcomed Qu Wanning in to sit down, and personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qu Wanning. She really didn't expect that the Censor would act so quickly that even Xie Yingfeng was detained in the government office.
If this was the case, then what he had just guessed was not wrong. They just wanted to convict Xie Yingfeng while Wei Ling was patrolling the border and not busy in the city. As long as Xie Yingfeng could be convicted, it would be like cutting off one of Wei Ling's arms.
His Majesty finally couldn't help but take action to test it!
A hint of darkness flashed across Su Jixiang's eyes.
"Madam Qu was also brought to Mangcheng. I guess your husband's detention is probably related to Madam Qu's affairs. Someone just told me that Madam Qu's brother Qu Dacheng in prison committed suicide to make his parents known, saying that he did not kill his parents, but that Madam Qu colluded with Xie Yingfeng to seize the family property and killed his parents and framed Qu Dacheng." Su Jixiang told Qu Wanning what he knew, "I think they are taking action now just to end the battle quickly."
"A quick victory?" Qu Wanning's eyes were filled with worry. "You mean they want to overturn Qu Dacheng's case right away and put the blame on my husband, right? As long as the case is over, they can use it as an excuse to get rid of my husband's job! They can even kill my husband in the government office!"
"Yeah." Su Jixiang nodded. As expected of someone who came from the palace, his brain was quick enough. "Don't worry, I've already sent people out to investigate. After all, we have more people in Mangcheng. I don't think those people will succeed if they want to cut the Gordian knot! We can't lose our composure. I believe Xie Yingfeng and Wei Ling will not leave any tricks up their sleeves!"
"My husband is not so easy to be manipulated." After hearing what Su Jixiang said, Qu Wanning calmed down a little. She thought for a while, "I remember my husband mentioned before that when these two imperial censors come, there will always be some trouble. He just needs to wait! I think since he can wait, he will not do nothing but wait."
"Yes. Don't worry, Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng are not people who have never experienced storms." Su Jixiang comforted Qu Wanning and said, "Let's not be so anxious now, let's test the situation first before talking about other things."
"Yes. I believe in you and I believe in my husband." Qu Wanning took a deep breath, calmed herself down and said.
"Wipe off your sweat first." Su Jixiang asked Lushui to bring a basin of clean water and asked Qu Wanning to tidy up first. She had just run all the way back and her whole body and face were covered with sweat.
When Qu Wanning had roughly washed up, Guihua had already returned. Seeing Qu Wanning here, she first bowed to Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning, and then said to Qu Wanning, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I have seen Lord Xie. Although he has been detained, those people have not got any evidence to convict him, so Lord Xie is safe for the time being. Lord Xie has the secret guards arranged by the Marquis with him, and those people can't do anything out of line to Lord Xie. Lord Xie said that if he meets you, please come to the general's mansion and wait for him. He will be fine."
"Did he really say that?" Qu Wanning was shocked when he heard that and asked, "Did he tell me something else to do?"
"No, Mr. Xie asked the shopkeeper not to be afraid." Guihua said, and then she looked at Su Jixiang, "Mr. Xie has something to say to Madam. Mr. Xie asked Madam to hand over the evidence in his hand to him, and asked Madam to help delay the time. Don't let Madam Qu be tortured by those people in prison. He is now detained in the government office by the Supervisory Censor, so he can only leave the protection of Madam Qu to Madam for the time being. It is enough for Madam to guarantee that Madam Qu is safe tonight. Tomorrow our Marquis will return to Mangcheng."
"I understand!" Su Jixiang nodded. She stood up and went to the study to get a box and handed it to Guihua. "Inside are the proofs of Qu Dacheng going to the pharmacy to buy medicine, as well as the evidence of him buying arsenic. You give these to Xie Yingfeng. I believe he will make good use of these evidences. As for Madam Qu, I will try to delay time."
Su Jixiang looked at Lu Shui, "Is there any news from Weidong?"
"I'll go take another look." Lu Shui said, and quickly turned around and went out.
Su Jixiang was about to settle Qu Wanning down, but Qu Wanning refused. "Let me go with you today. I definitely won't be able to sleep after such a big incident. Why don't you let me help you? I definitely won't mess things up. I'll do whatever you ask me to do! I promise!"
Su Jixiang thought about it and realized that this was the truth. If she let Qu Wanning rest now, she didn't know how she would think about it. It would be better to keep her by her side. Qu Wanning was a very measured person. Even though she was a little timid at times, she was definitely not careless when it came to major issues.
