When Gu Tongye woke up the next day, he only felt as if his skull was about to explode, his chest was stuffy, and he couldn't breathe.
It took a lot of effort to finally open my eyes, but what I saw was a hairy head.
Ye Zhenyan? Why is he here?
Gu Tongye's mind was a mess, and she slowed down for a while before she slowly remembered what happened last night, at that time she only wanted to stop the evil ghost, but she didn't want to just collide with it and only felt a white light flash in front of her, and then her brain was chaotic and she was unconscious.
What happened later, she didn't know at all.
"Knock knock!"
"Miss Gu, Miss Gu, are you there?"
"Knock knock!"
"Miss Gu, our lord invites you to go to the yamen, saying that you have to tell you!"
Outside the house, Mu Xiu heard a knock on the door and had to put down the fan, get up and open the door.
"This, but Mu Xiu Mu Gongzi?" As soon as the visitor saw Mu Xiu, he hurriedly asked flatteringly.
Mu Xiu frowned, "What's the matter later, my wife suffered from the wind and cold last night, and she is not feeling well today and should not go out!" ”
"Sue your lord, I'll be over soon!" At this time, Gu Tongye walked out with his clothes draped and said to the person who reported the news.
When Mu Xiu saw Gu Tongye, his face changed slightly, and he stood to the side with his hands down and stopped talking.
"Eh, okay, I'll go back and report it!" The visitor happily complied and turned away.
Gu Tongye glanced at Mu Xiu and sighed, she still couldn't really be angry with him after all.
"Didn't you go to decoction? What about medicine? Gu Tongye asked, his tone was flat, and he seemed to have completely forgotten about what happened last night.
Mu Xiu's face was embarrassed, and he wanted to open his mouth to explain what happened last night, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Gu Tongye.
Gu Tongye yawned, straightened his clothes, and said casually, "Really, it's such a cold day, and I don't know how Xixue slept in prison, it seems that I still have to take the nerd with me to take a look." ”
After saying that, he kicked open the door and shouted, "Idiot, don't get dressed yet, we're going to save people!" ”
"What? Who is sick, what is sick, strict or not strict? Take me away, take me there! Then I heard the muffled grunt of something landing!
"You stupid, you can trip your left foot and your right foot, I don't know how you survived all these years!" Gu Tongye scolded, and then the room fell into silence.
Mu Xiu clenched his palms, his mouth pursed into a horizontal line, his eyes stared at Gu Tongye's room, and only after a long time did he turn around and walk towards the kitchen.
Inside the prefect's yamen.
Xing Manfeng walked around the hall with his hands in his hands, his resolute face full of anxiety.
On the Taishi chair in the main seat, Xing Manlan frowned, staring at the teacup in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking, or if he wasn't thinking about anything.
Last night's news was really a little confusing for the two, especially Xing Manlan, she didn't even understand what it meant, she clearly said that as long as the case was solved, why did she suddenly order that the case would be solved within two days? This is a little too difficult for a strong person, could it be that her initial guess was wrong? They don't want the man to survive?
All kinds of speculations made Xing Manlan very irritable, she began to wonder where to start, what was hidden in this Yushan Town, and who was the person who had more power than her? Who is working on this final layout?
Alas, I thought this trip was just a passing errand, but I didn't expect things to be far more complicated than she thought, and if she wanted to get out, I'm afraid it would be even more difficult to climb to the sky.
"I said cousin, this is to the point of burning your eyebrows, why are you still in the mood to drink tea? I'm dying! Xing Manfeng stood next to Xing Manlan, took the teacup in her hand, and asked dissatisfiedly.
Xing Manlan sighed, rolled his eyes and said, "Is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, what are you anxious about, isn't there anything I will give you to bear!" ”
Xing Manfeng was even more anxious when he heard this, "Isn't this what I'm worried about, what do you mean by the empress, I didn't say when the case will be solved, but now there is a sudden edict, two days?" With such a strict case, we were asked to solve the case within two days, isn't this sending us to death! ”
"Shut up!" Xing Manlan roared at Xing Manfeng, staring at her sternly, "Since the Holy Lord has made this decision, she has her own reasons, how can you and I discuss and speculate!" ”
Xing Manfeng realized that he had said something rebellious, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then he patted his chest and relaxed, "Mom, I'm scared to death, cousin, what the hell is going on with this, why do I think this thing is not simple!" ”
Xing Manlan shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't know about this either." ”
"Lord Xing, Miss Gu has arrived!" Outside the house, a servant entered the door to report.
A bright light suddenly flashed in Xing Manlan's eyes, as if something had hit him in his brain.
Gu Tongye!
What is the identity of this woman, and why is she designated to participate in the investigation of this case? And the husband and the attendant beside her, perhaps more accurately, the guard, that man is not an ordinary person at first glance, why would he follow her and let her drive, is it that all the mysteries point to her?
"Let her in!" Xing Manfeng didn't think of so much, so he hurriedly asked the official to bring Gu Tongye in.
When Gu Tongye, Mu Xiu and Ye Zhenyan came in, Xing Manlan had already stood up, and his expression was not as helpless as Fang Cai, but showed a touch of calmness.
"Lord Xing, what did you discover?" Gu Tongye asked with a smile as soon as he entered the door, his eyes seemingly unintentionally sweeping over Xing Manfeng on the side.
Xing Manlan shook his head, then nodded again.
Gu Tongye couldn't help but be curious, "Lord Xing shook his head and nodded again, what does this mean?" ”
"Who's sick? Take me to see it, this disease must be cured, and it must not be delayed! Otherwise, a minor illness will be dragged into a serious illness, and it will be troublesome to treat it when the time comes! Ye Zhenyan couldn't care so much, and as soon as he came to the door, he shouted to see the patient.
Xing Manlan was puzzled and looked at Xing Manfeng, "Patient? Is anyone here sick with us? ”
Gu Tongye raised his forehead and explained, "I am going to ask him to help take a look at Xixue, and I also ask Lord Xing to be accommodating." ”
Xing Manlan laughed when he heard this, "This is nature, this is nature." ”
When Ye Zhenyan heard that someone was really sick, he immediately became excited, shouting that he was going to the dungeon to see Xixue now. Xing Manlan also knew that Ye Zhenyan was very long-winded, so he hurriedly asked Xing Manfeng to take him to the dungeon.
After dismissing the subordinates, Gu Tongye pulled Mu Xiu to sit on the chair next to him, looked at Xing Manlan, and waited for her to speak.
Xing Manlan looked at Mu Xiu scrutinically, thought about it in his heart, and said after a while, he said in embarrassment, "It's not a secret, I really didn't expect this matter, and now that we say it, we can discuss it." ”
"What does Lord Xing mean by this, since there is something important to announce, why just tell this Miss Gu, but not me and the prefect, the prefect and the county lord say it, Lord Xing will inevitably look down on people too much!" Lin Yuanshuang entered the door with a displeased face, followed by the prefect with a flattering face and the prefect who was submissive.
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp. Here, Xing Manlan and Lin Yuanshuang are undoubtedly the two big fish, and the prefect is the small fish, as for the shrimp, it is definitely the prefect.
"Lord Lin laughed, I was just chatting with Miss Gu about some gossip, and I don't know who actually deceived Lord Lin, hehe, if I let me know, I will definitely not spare her!" Xing Manlan said with a smile, but a fierce color flashed in his eyes.
Lin Yuanshuang sneered, not feeling anything wrong at all. Yesterday she had already received a letter from Kyoto, this Xing Manlan is just the niece of Lord Zhang of the Criminal Department, and the reason why the empress sent her to take over this case this time is not so much an appreciation as a punishment, you must know that Qin Hairong's identity has always been embarrassing in the imperial court, and now that she has been killed for no reason, it would be biased to send anyone here, only by sending Xing Manlan, a fool, over, can the empress block Youyou's mouth.
So Lin Yuanshuang is not afraid of Xing Manlan at all now, but she is more and more ignorant of her.
Lin Yuanshuang was not humble, she sat directly on the main seat, slowly arranged the skirt on her body, and looked up as if she suddenly noticed, and said in surprise, "Why are the two adults still standing, sit, just jump in a position and sit down, how bad it is to stand and talk like this!" Hey, everyone's casual, casual! ”
The corners of Gu Tongye's lips were slightly hooked, and he sneered in his heart, he was just a clown who jumped off the beam, and he really used himself as a green onion!
On the other hand, Xing Manlan accepted this generously, and there was no gloom on her face, and she even smiled, which made Gu Tongye slightly surprised.
"Now that everyone is here, Lord Xing, don't hide it, hurry up and say it, let's discuss it!" Lin Yuanshuang looked at Xing Manfeng slyly and urged.
