Dong Ruyi wore her hair and was covered by a black cloak from head to toe, and she walked out like this.

Guard Cheng was walking around outside the door at the moment.

Xiangju came out too quickly just now, and he didn't think much about it and said about Ma Wenhan.

As a result, when Xiangju returned to the house, he found that there was still no sound in the house, and he suddenly remembered that Dong Ruyi was only five or six years old.

He was a little worried, and a little regretful, he muttered in his mouth, "Why did you forget Miss Dong's age, if you cry, wouldn't you be able to hear it inside and outside the hospital." ”

Soon Dong Ruyi's door opened again, and Cheng Escort hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Dong Ruyi walking out in black.

"Go to the West Wing and talk back. ”

Dong Ruyi was small and spoke very softly, obviously afraid of waking up the county lord of Annan next door.

Cheng Escort didn't expect Dong Ruyi to be so fast, he scratched his head with his hand and muttered, "It's really not an ordinary person." ”

Dong Ruyi had just taken two steps when he heard someone shouting in a low voice: "Miss Dong, Cheng Guard, but something happened over there?"

Dong Ruyi turned around and looked.

The night was very dark, and she couldn't see it very clearly, but she could hear that it was Jingrui's daughter-in-law's voice.

When she got closer, she saw that Jingrui's daughter-in-law was already dressed.

She whispered, "Why did Mother Jing come out? But I quarreled with the county lord?"

Jingrui's daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "Where is the young lady arguing, the county lord has already woken up." ”

Dong Ruyi nodded and walked in with Jingrui's daughter-in-law.

Sure enough, the county lord was dressed, and it was obvious that he had been awake for a while.

The county lord of Annan woke up on the third watch, she dreamed of the county horse, and when she woke up, she couldn't sleep anymore.

She didn't want to disturb Jingrui's daughter-in-law, let alone wake up Dong Ruyi, so she didn't make a sound.

Jingrui's daughter-in-law got up at night and saw that the county lord of Annan was awake, so she lost her sleep.

Since the onset of the county lord's old illness, no matter how tired she was during the day, she would always wake up at night when she fell asleep.

When she woke up, if she didn't look at the county lord, she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again.

Jingrui's daughter-in-law did not hold the lamp, she got dressed, sat on the pedal, and talked with the county lord of Annan.

The master and servant talked the most about Dong Ruyi, and they heard the noise outside as they spoke.

The county lord of Annan couldn't sit still anymore, this was where she lived, and if it wasn't for what happened, no one would have come over in the middle of the night.

She thought about the county horse who died in the sea, she had to find out the details no matter what happened this time, and she wanted to see the murderer who killed her family as soon as possible.

So she asked Jingrui's daughter-in-law to take a look.

Dong Ruyi and Cheng Huwei saluted the lord of Annan County one after the other.

Jingrui's daughter-in-law lit the candles in the house.

Cheng Huwei said: "Ma Wenhan got out of the ditch at night and sneaked back home, and his subordinates have followed. ”

After Cheng Escort finished talking about what happened at night, he told Ma Wenhan about the inappropriateness of the past few days.

The county lord of Annan looked at Dong Ruyi, obviously waiting for Dong Ruyi to make a decision.

Dong Ruyi said: "Look at what he wants to do, don't startle the snake, if you can't do it, you will catch it unconsciously." ”

Cheng Huwei said with a smile: "That's what my subordinates ordered, Miss Dong can rest assured." “

Dong Ruyi nodded, Cheng Escort said so, she didn't need to say anything more, after all, Cheng Escort was still reliable.

Two more guards came to the courtyard, and they wanted to see Cheng Guard.

Dong Ruyi said: "Let's go and see, maybe there is movement in other places." ”

Cheng escort saluted and retired.

After Cheng escorted out, the county lord of Annan said: "Ma Wenhan shouldn't be a fine work. ”

Dong Ruyi said: "Why is my aunt so sure?"

The county lord of Annam explained: "He was in charge of merchant ships, and before that, he had not touched warships. Therefore, it is impossible for him to leak the drawings of those warships. ”

Dong Ruyi said: "Then aunt and grandmother, do you know why the fourth cousin and aunt asked him to participate in the construction of the assault boat this time?"

The county lord of Annan thought for a moment, "He seems to be in charge of the materials used for merchant ships, and in my opinion, your fourth cousin and aunt should want him to participate in the construction of the bow of the ship." ”

Dong Ruyi nodded, if this is the case, then this person's suspicion is indeed not big, but how can he explain his abnormality these days?

Dong Ruyi didn't ask much, and when he caught someone, he would know in the first instance.

However, things always turn out unexpectedly.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, and the county lord of Annan got up and said, "Go and take a look, see what happened outside?"

Jingrui's daughter-in-law said: "The slave and maid will go." She said as she walked out.

Dong Ruyi said: "Aunt and grandmother, don't worry, but there will be a solution to everything." ”

The county lord of Annan nodded, and although she still looked at the door, she sat back.

Looking at the bright light outside the window from time to time, Dong Ruyi frowned slightly.

Jingrui's daughter-in-law came back at a trot.

Jing Rui's daughter-in-law said: "County Lord, it was said that Lu Bantang had gone out of the water, and Cheng Escort had already brought people over. ”

The county lord of Annan stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "What? How can you go to the water?

She said that she held her head in her hands, and her body shook involuntarily.

Jingrui's daughter-in-law hurriedly helped her when she saw it, "County Lord, how are you, County Lord?"

Then she comforted: "Don't worry, the county lord, Escort Cheng has already brought someone to go, and the fourth lady will definitely be fine." ”

Dong Ruyi didn't move, she muttered: "Is it right to turn the tiger away from the mountain? It's just who is the tiger and who is the mountain?"

She hurriedly asked, "Then Ma Wenhan and his wife were arrested?"

Jingrui's daughter-in-law remembered what Cheng Escort said when she ran away, and she hurriedly replied: "Cheng Escort told the slave maid that Ma Wenhan and his wife have been captured, but the slave and maid looked at Cheng Guard's appearance, and it seemed that there was still an inside story. ”

Dong Ruyi said again: "Mother Jing, you quickly take the guards in the two courtyards to the place where Ma Wenhan and his wife are detained, and you can't let them be locked up in one place."

Also, let people look good, and they must not be allowed to commit suicide or let people die. ”

Jingrui's daughter-in-law saw that the matter was serious and couldn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly went out to order.

Fortunately, the Cheng guards only took away people from other places, and none of the people in this courtyard moved.

Jingrui's daughter-in-law panted and said, "Fortunately, the slave and maid went in time, otherwise Ma Wenhan and his wife would have committed suicide." The slave and maid had already divided them according to Miss Dong's instructions, and the slave and maid also warned them that they were not allowed to die, if anyone died first, the one who was alive would not be born like this, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare. ”

The county lord of Annan nodded, and then said: "Sister Ru, you take a break here, I will take a look, I really can't rest assured." ”

Dong Ru's opinion could not be dissuaded, so he had to nod in agreement.

She asked half of the guards in the courtyard to follow the county lord of Annan, and she took the other half of the guards to the East Council Hall.
