On the way back, there were more people than when I came - Lu Zhao, whose hands and feet were shackled.

Lu Zhao was an important witness in that case that year, and there were countless assassins who wanted to kill him along the way.

Every time he encounters assassination, Song Wei will involuntarily protect a box at hand.

The box was given by Wei Baihu. I heard that their Jinyiwei relied on this for most of the time.

The box adopts the Luban lock principle and also has a small clamp inside. Once the "password" of unlocking outside is wrong, the things inside will be crushed.

After several dealings, the assassins already had a clear idea - Song Wei's box was filled with evidence about the coal mine case.

When the news came back to the capital, Su Xiang frowned and asked the spy, "Will there be a fraud?"

The spy said: "I heard from someone that the box is exclusive to the Jinyiwei. Anyone who does not know how to unlock the lock will move it casually, and the things inside will be destroyed."

Su Xiang narrowed his eyes, "So, is there really evidence of guilt in the box?"

"The subordinates believe that it is very likely."

Several groups of killers have been sent, one group is better than the other, but they have not taken Song Wei's life. Su Xiang has no patience and waits any longer and ordered: "No need to arrange a killer anymore. Just spend a lot of money to ask the thief. You must steal that box back to the original actress!"

"yes!"

——

On the eve of entering Beijing, Song Wei and his group rested in the inn outside the city.

After dinner, "Little Book Tong" prepared hot water and was waiting for her imperial envoy to take a shower behind the screen.

Song Wei leaned against the wall of the bucket, raised his neck slightly, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

After working hard for more than a month, he felt a tired look that could not be hidden between his eyebrows and eyes.

The water droplets slid down from the raised Adam's apple, along the tight chest, and finally penetrated into the waist and abdomen.

The gentle eyes fell on the scar on his waist.

She discovered it on the wedding night. At that time, in order not to worry her, her husband did not explain in detail and only told her that she was accidentally hurt.

When she spoke in Ningzhou, she suddenly remembered and asked her mother-in-law, who hesitated for a long time before telling her the truth.

——When Song Wei was 19 years old, his family arranged a marriage for him, and the girl was named He Yumei.

I heard that Song Wei was in trouble since he was a child, so He Yumei refused to marry and ran out overnight, causing the bandits to ruin it.

Wen Wan grew up so old, I only heard of someone who was abused and committed suicide by committing suicide. I have never heard of someone who was forced by bandits to follow him.

The He family thought it was embarrassing and told the public that the girl died of illness and just pretended that she was not that personal.

In theory, He Yumei and the bandits are willing to fight and the other are willing to be beaten. Just live your own life well.

But it was so coincidental that Dalang and his wife sent Song Wei to the county exam the next year. On the way back, they happened to be stopped by the bandits, and He Yumei was there too.

The rumored person who died of illness not only did not die, but also became the woman of the Shan Dawang. The eldest son's wife couldn't react for a while.

He Yumei was afraid that they would go and talk nonsense, so she encouraged the Shan Dawang to find a way to block the couple's mouth. Unexpectedly, the Shan Dawang took too much action and killed the person directly.

Song Wei always knew about He Yumei following King Shan, and he was just too lazy to pay attention to it.

When he stepped into the examination room and was told that his brother and sister-in-law were killed and rushed back, the group had already escaped.

After dealing with the funeral of Dalang and his wife, Song Wei went to report to the officials. The local government could not control these robbers and bandits at all. In desperation, Song Wei went to find their nest alone. He Yumei met the crazy woman in the woods. The other party took out a dagger and stabbed him without saying a word.

Fortunately, Song Wei dodged quickly and only injured his waist. Otherwise, he might have stabbed the heart and died on the spot if he went up a little.

...

It is said that Song Weike died of his brother and sister-in-law, and there are only a lot of infamous people who have fallen into him.

Wen Wan could feel that no matter whether it had anything to do with "bad luck" or not, the husband took all the responsibility on his own death, otherwise he would not be so depressed later, and he vowed not to enter the examination room again in front of his brother and sister-in-law's grave. Even, he had not yet married until he was 27 or 28 years old.

Sometimes Wen Wan would also think, if she hadn’t taken the initiative, wouldn’t her husband have never thought about getting married in this life and just planned to bring Yuanbao?

...

Knowing that her husband was tired, Wenwan couldn't bear to wake him up, but she just reached in from time to time to try the water temperature.

Song Wei woke up before he slept for a long time. Seeing her eyes falling on the scar of her waist and abdomen quickly retracted. He didn't think about explaining, and quickly got up and stepped out of the bathtub with long legs.

When Wenwan wiped him dry, her fingertips accidentally touched the scar and asked him if it still hurt.

Song Wei just laughed.

He felt pain, his heart hurt.

The scar clearly reminded his brother and sister-in-law what he lost their lives back then, but he was powerless to avenge them. When he had the ability, things had changed.

——

Putting on a clean bedcloth and coming out from behind the screen, Song Wei immediately turned his gaze on the box beside the pillow.

Wen Wan also looked over with the trend, as if everything was normal and nothing was wrong.

Song Wei walked to the bed, picked up the box and weighed it, touched the bottom again, and suddenly smiled, "It was indeed replaced."

What I had already had a premonition, Wen Wan looked very ordinary, "It is worthy of being a thief who spent a lot of money to invite him, but he did it without knowing it."

"I probably touched it in advance." Song Wei said: "Even the weight of the box is about the same."

However, he marked the box at the bottom, which was difficult for ordinary people to find out. The one he was holding in his arms is obviously not a real person.

Song Wei couldn't help but look at his little wife, "What did you put in that box just now?"

Wen Wan thought of her childish prank, and she felt a little difficult to speak of, and said shyly: "I won't tell you."

——

On the day when Song Wei entered the capital as an imperial envoy, Su Xiang was crazy in his own mansion.

More than a dozen locksmiths have been hired in a row, but no one can decipher the "password" of Song Wei's lock unlocking, and he dare not cut it down with one knife. If it is poisonous inside, everyone will suffer.

The last craftsman, known as the descendant of Luban, took several hours to unlock the lock. When he opened the lid, he saw that there was a box inside, and the cover said, "I can't find me."

The craftsman showed it to Su Xiang. Su Qing was so dark that he hugged him and opened the second box. Unexpectedly, there was a third one, and he covered it and wrote, "I still didn't find me."

Su Xiang opened again.

The box inside is getting smaller and smaller, and the characters are getting smaller and smaller, but the naked eye can see clearly.

——Oh, I found the wrong one again.

——There will be a surprise when you open another one!

The last one, before Su Xiang opened, a "gull~" came from inside

Su Xiang's face became darker, and he asked the people under his command to open it. He found that there was a jar inside, with water in the jar, and a toad was squatting inside, with a word on his back: Stupid.

Realizing that he was fooled by someone, Su Xiang was so angry that his internal organs were smoking, and he kept scolding Song Wei's mother.

Su Xiang scolded, and the toad in the box cooperated with him, "Caoke--"

The people around him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and their faces were red.

Su Xiang glanced at the few people coldly and said, "Get out!"

"Gu"

——

The situation was urgent, and Song Wei did not delay after returning to Beijing for a moment, so he went directly to the Hanlin Academy to find Xie Zheng.

He handed over the evidence of the coal mine case to Wen's father that day, who was a businessman, and they had their own special channels to quickly deliver things to the capital.

The person who received it was Xie Zheng.

The reason why I handed it over to him was that Song Wei trusted them for many years.

Xie Zheng was not stupid. He knew what case Song Wei was going to handle. When he got the thing, he guessed it immediately. He felt that it was heavy and had not had enough sleep for two days and two nights. He just waited for Song Wei to come back and take it away so that he would not have too many dreams at night.

When Song Wei took the thing into his hand, Xie Zheng's expression obviously relaxed and patted his shoulder, "Perform well next time."

Even if he didn't say the rest, Song Wei understood it. Xie Zheng wanted to tell him that as long as the case was completed, he would definitely be promoted.

Song Wei didn't say anything.

This case hit him so hard that every night when he closed his eyes, more than eighty corpses would appear in his mind.

He did his best to the coal mine case, not for promotion, but just wanted to restore the truth of the past, bring the murderer to justice, and seek justice for more than 80 mine victims.

Wei Baihu urged, "Mr. Song, it's getting late."

Song Wei nodded, turned his head and looked at the little wife beside him, and whispered: "This place is close to home, you go back first, I want to enter the palace."

Wenwan knew that she could not enter the palace as a person, so she nodded obediently and watched Song Wei get on the carriage and leave, then she turned around and walked home.

When he arrived in the capital, even if Su Xiang was able to do so, he could not attack the imperial envoy under the emperor's nose. Therefore, Song Wei's journey into the imperial city was particularly smooth.
