Leaving Yizhuang, Nie Shuyao didn't plan to return to Nie's house. They went directly to Zhenweiju and asked for two rooms, and after they finished grooming, they asked the shopkeeper for some food.

Although the four of them saw two corpses today, they could still eat this meal. Not to mention that Nie Shuyao's sister and brother have been trained by the Nie family since they were children, even the Yuqin sisters and brothers have also increased their courage after the tragedy at home, and they have to eat when they are hungry.

Jiang Xiaoluo was not here today, and after dinner, Nie Shuyao asked Yuqin to go to Nie's house to deliver a letter, saying that they would not go back to Nie's house for the sake of the case in the past few days, and lived in Zhenweiju, and if there was anything urgent, they could come here to find her.

The main reason is that Luping's death has too much impact on her, and she wants to be alone.

Nie Tianxi took the letter she wrote to Master Zhang, and took the tiger head to find the people in Lu County. Nie Shuyao was left alone in front of the window of the room to watch the people coming and going on the street.

It's lively outside, but her heart isn't here.

If she hadn't told the county order of Sù Zhang that Lu Ping's house was in Nie Xian's house, wouldn't Lu Ping's master and servant have died?

She never thinks of herself as a good person, and helping others is only within her own power, and if she exceeds this range, she will hide faster than anyone else. In the past ten years, the Nie family has also educated them in this way.

However, when he was already in his body, he knew that he also felt guilty in his heart.

I took out the jade wrench and put it on my thumb, and it felt just right. It can be seen that this wrench is worn by a woman.

The sunset shone on the wrench with a different kind of brilliance, Nie Shuyao squinted his eyes and turned the wrench to the sun again, and suddenly found that there seemed to be something wrong with the chrysanthemum carved on it.

But when I look hard again. A qiē returned to normal. Rubbing his eyes, Nie Shuyao wondered, was he dazzled?

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

Nie Shuyao turned around. When I wanted to take off the wrench, I couldn't take it off for a while, so I hid this hand in my sleeve and said in a clear voice: "Come in!" ”

It was Jiang Yi, and his gentle smile dispelled the depression in the room.

"Jiang Gongzi? The shopkeeper said that you and Xiao Luo's shopkeeper are not here today. She laughed.

The two came to sit opposite each other at the table in front of the window, and Jiang Yi said, "I also just came back, and I heard that two female corpses were found in Juyue Lake. Ignorance......? ”

Nie Shuyao frowned and sighed: "It's Luping's master and servant." ”

Jiang Yi seemed to see through her heart, and asked softly, "Are you blaming yourself?" ”

"Can I not blame myself?" Nie Shuyao asked rhetorically.

The affairs of Luxian County were all done by her through Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yi knew the inside story as well as her.

Jiang Yi smiled: "You don't blame yourself!" Luping was originally a concubine. Concubines are similar to slaves and maids, and the master can sell as much as he wants. And she fled with the important belongings of the master's family, and the imperial historian took great pains to find her. She has no way out, and Zhang Xianling and Nie Xian are very illustrative. There are only a lot of people like this who want to exchange her for a future. It is not easy for a weak woman to get to this point. And she has no intention of hiding in the mountains. Let alone....... ”

"What's more?" Nie Shuyao asked rhetorically.

Jiang Yi poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "Come, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first." ”

Seeing that he had already raised his glass, Nie Shuyao couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, and also raised the tea at him.

With a cup of hot tea in her stomach, Nie Shuyao felt that her heart was ironed too much, and she didn't know if it was the warmth of this tea or the effect of that words.

Taking a deep breath, he smiled at him, "Thank you!" ”

Jiang Yi shook his head with a smile. Pointing to the jade wrench in her hand, "What's more, this thing is in the hands of the person who is most worthy of it." This is what Luping wants to see the most. ”

"You!" Nie Shuyao immediately withdrew his hand into his sleeve.

Jiang Yi put away the smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, you know this, I am the girl's strongest ally!" ”

Speaking of this, Nie Shuyao won't say anything, and he unconsciously loses his vigilance in front of him, does he recognize him as his ally?

Nie Shuyao smiled: "Okay, remember what you said today." ”

Jiang Yi nodded and said solemnly: "It will be in the future!" ”

Nie Shuyao frowned, this was a bit too much. took the initiative to divert the topic and asked, "What is your little junior sister doing now?" ”

Jiang Yi frowned, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "She won't appear in Qu County for the time being." ”

"For the time being?" Nie Shuyao quipped: "Then it will still come in the future, you lure her away because you are afraid that she will do bad things to this case, right?" ”

Jiang Yi smiled even more embarrassedly at this.

Nie Shuyao immediately understood, it was really like this.

"Your little junior sister is really careful!"

Jiang Yi nodded approvingly: "The little junior sister has been spoiled by us senior brothers, in fact, she doesn't have bad intentions, she just has a bit of fun." ”

"Okay, I'll take you this time."

Then the two started a series of discussions about why Luping committed suicide, and in the end they both believed that Luping committed suicide to deceive the people chasing him, and perhaps only in this way could the imperial history rest assured.

After Nie Shuyao put away the jade wrench again, Nie Tianxi also sent a letter back.

Master Zhang agreed to this meeting, and the location was somewhere in a private room in Zhenwei Residence.

At dinner time, a group of people waited to meet in a private room.

Jiang Xiaoluo also came, and he and Jiang Yi, as landlords, tried their best to make both parties satisfied. Nie Shuyao didn't plan to say anything secret to Master Zhang, and they also sat on the futon in the private room.

This private room is specially designed for reception, with a blue mat in the middle and a low table in the middle, where everyone sits cross-legged. There were a few delicate dishes on the table, and the coal stove in the house played a big role, at least at this time it was warm as spring.

Master Zhang is not a stunned boy who doesn't understand anything, when the sand breath of Luping's master and servant drowned came, he understood that Zhang County's order wanted to use the "escape concubine" to get promoted to the official The way was not feasible. What's more, he still has Shen Xinlu's storage zài by his side, and everything can be understood with a little analysis.

After listening to Nie Shuyao's relays of Nie Xian's words, he smiled and said, "Miss Nie is really admirable for the elders in the family. But my lord's concubine was indeed thrown into the lake, although Nie Xian brought the green ping to Qu County because she was bewitched. However, if Nie Xian didn't have that heart, Luping wouldn't have died. ”

Nie Shuyao also smiled: "Master Zhang's words are also right. But because of this, Uncle Nie has also been punished as he deserves, hasn't he? From the county to Bai Ding, this kind of blow is not something that ordinary people can bear. Let alone...... I heard that Luping is a person from the capital, and who else is she in the capital? According to the little woman's opinion, I think this matter is here, the main lord has also gone, and it is better not to pursue it. ”

A sentence from the capital made Master Zhang frown slightly. Their Zhang family's base camp is also in the capital, so how can they not know Luping's true identity now? Indeed, as the little girl in front of her said, it is better not to pursue it. But. The Zhang family can't weaken their momentum.

"It seems that the girl is prepared, why don't you take this opportunity to talk to our Shen Xiangshi first, how about it?" Master Zhang stroked the little goatee and smiled, but the smile was ill-intentioned.

Shen Xinlu frowned slightly. glanced at Nie Shuyao, who was still smiling. I don't know how to live this trick? He is a master, and once he makes a move, he is ruthless.

"Okay, Master Shen, please!" Nie Shuyao readily agreed.

The reason why Shen Xinlu was able to become Master Zhang's master was Jiang Yi's thread, and he knew the relationship between Jiang Yi and Nie Shuyao. In order to cooperate with her to break away from the Nie family, but now he really has plans to learn from her.

"Good!" Shen Xinlu took a long breath, let go of his heart, regarded her as an opponent, and said: "The key point in this case is Luping's identity as a fugitive concubine. That Nie Xian knew that he still wanted to take her in, and his heart was not right. Again. Miss Nie just relayed Nie Xian's words are just one side, although Luping is wrong, but Nie Xian's mistake is even more unforgivable. It's a pity that Luping's master and servant have drowned, and I can't hear her defense, although Luping is only the concubine of Zhang County's order, but she is also his person, as the saying goes, it depends on the master to beat the dog, isn't what Nie Xian did even more unbearable? ”

Nie Shuyao nodded neatly: "Master Shen is right, Nie Xian is indeed such a person who does not do anything for the future. But he was originally a petty official of the eighth grade, and the punishment imposed on him immediately after the matter was discovered by the Zhang County Order is now in vain. Or that sentence, what is the most terrible thing for an official? It is better than having no official to make a white ding. Let alone....... ”

She took a deep breath and said, "What's more, there is another thing we have to pay attention to, and that is the identity of Luping." If Nie Xian was guilty of murder, it would be easy to say anything, but Nie Xian did not kill anyone. Don't say that Master Shen doesn't understand this? Nie Xian took Lu Ping away in order to go further in the officialdom, but he never wanted Lu Ping to die. Besides, have you ever seen the corpse of the master and servant of the green ping? The post-mortem information is very revealing. ”

Shen Xinlu also nodded, "What Miss Nie said is also reasonable. Although Nie Xian has lost his position, he and Master Zhang both feel that this is not enough. ”

Nie Shuyao immediately said again: "Isn't it enough? In the eyes of the little woman, it is better to stop in moderation. Have you ever heard of a dog jumping over a wall? How can the Nie family say that they have been rich for several generations in Qu County, and they once became the Cheng of Bapin County as a showman, and their means can be seen in general. The reason why he is still staying in the prison is that he has not come to his senses yet, and it happened too suddenly. Besides, he used to be a county magistrate, an official, and we all know who the defendant is. What if he makes a desperate gamble to fight the lawsuit to the end? ”

She looked at Master Zhang's expression and found that his brows were furrowed, and then said, "Now it is Wu County's order that has received this case, what will happen if Nie Xian sues?" If you report to the prefect or go to a higher level, or survive until the governor arrives next year, it is really difficult to say who will lose and who will win. Presumably Master Zhang knows very well how Nie Xian became a county prince, right? It is said that it was also blessed by a governor. ”

At this point, she clung to a few nouns, wanting Master Zhang to know the inside story of this case, if she continued to fight, it would not be beneficial to anyone.

"I also heard a sentence inadvertently revealed by our county master, and I felt that it was very meaningful. On that day, when everyone talked about running away from concubines, the county magistrate sighed and said, "Why are you running away from concubines again?" It seems that one of the imperial historians in Beijing also lost a concubine, which is really strange these years'. Nie Shuyao made a final reminder, she believed that Master Zhang was not a fool, maybe Shen Xinlu didn't know the inside story, but he must understand.

It didn't take long for Master Zhang to express his position, "Then so be it, the new governor is coming, and we can't be careless at this juncture." It's really cheap, Nie Xian! ”

Nie Shuyao smiled and thanked him, and the next thing was to go through the motions in the hall. (To be continued......)
