Xiao Yan saw that Mu Qing was dragging an injured leg, but he still wanted to go to Qingshan County together, so he resolutely stopped it, and he would never be allowed to work again, so he asked the latter with a serious face, "I'm going, aren't you still at ease?" ”

Mu Qingwei smiled and sat down obediently, what did he have to worry about Xiao Yan!

Mu Qing and Xiao Yan have known each other since they were twelve years old, and it has been more than fifteen years, since childhood, the two of them have been silently guarding each other, plus they are both highly intelligent and skillful, and they have a heart of seven tricks, and the two have long been like brothers.

Therefore, Mu Qing no longer insisted, sat down silently, and Xiao Yan boasted about Haikou before going out, "You can wait with peace of mind, when you come back from Qingshan County, there will definitely be good news for you." ”

Thirty miles southeast of Jincheng is Qingshan County. As its name suggests, Qingshan County is a rich town with outstanding people and rivers surrounded by mountains and rivers.

After Xiao Yan and Ishikawa galloped all the way, they soon arrived outside Qingshan County.

The two of them reined in their horses at the same time, and they stopped unconsciously, but Ishikawa couldn't help it, looked at Xiao Yan beside him, and asked suspiciously: "You say, with the master's kung fu, even if the horse misses the front hoof, he can't fall him!" But when this horse fell slightly, the master's leg was injured like that, do you believe it? ”

The latter raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It is estimated that he is half true and half false, and he will hurt himself by pushing the boat with the water." However, the wound on the leg is easy to heal, but the wound on the heart is only afraid that it will be difficult to heal for a while! Alas, the word love is extremely difficult to say! ”

Listening to Xiao Yan's insightful explanation and the emotion that could not see through the red dust, Ishikawa gritted his teeth hard, so that he did not blurt out the words in his heart.

But how could he hide from the eyes of the latter? "Don't hide it, tell me if you have anything, it's good for him."

Ishikawa didn't want to say it, but he was originally the one who couldn't hide his heart the most, and was yelled at by Xiao Yan, and immediately said: "I know why he wants to torture himself, because he is so distressed in his heart, and he is distressed for Miss Wen!" ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense? He was worried about Miss Wen, and it wasn't a matter of the past two days, but he was afraid that there would be new troubles now. Xiao Yan shook his head and sighed.

"What is new or old, it has not changed, it is all the same affliction! Still struggling with the same person, you know? Ishikawa immediately rushed to speak, and the subtle expression of "Do you understand" on his face was really subtle.

And his subtle expression, Xiao Yan naturally understood at a glance, "Oh-" Xiao Yan let out a long "oh", "It's actually the same person who is distressed, could it be that she is her!" ”

"That's right! She's who she is! That's why he is so abnormal. Ishikawa nodded like pounding garlic, finally someone can share the secrets of his heart, no need to hide it, it is really refreshing, and at the same time very puzzled, how do some people hide the things in their hearts deeply, secretly and secretly, and usually can be light and light, as if nothing happened?

For example, Bei Xiaoyan next to him is one of the best.

"Oh, I see! I see! Got it, got it! Xiao Yan finally realized Mu Qing's unspeakable pain.

The eyes of the two of them looked at each other a few times, and after everything was subtle and distressed Mu Qing's helplessness, they both shouted in unison: "Drive the ......", and quickly ran towards the city.

The two of them rode alone, fast and steady, and they arrived at Qingshan County before the two Huaiyu brothers who left first.

At the entrance of the county office.

Ishikawa handed over his name post, and within half a moment, Lin Tongzhi, the head of a county, hurriedly greeted him, and shook it to the end, "The lower official doesn't know that Lord Shi is coming, and he has missed the welcome, please forgive me!" He bent over and didn't want to get up for a long time.

Ishikawa had no choice but to stretch out his hand and drag him up, "Lord Lin doesn't need to be polite, this arrester is here this time for a single case related to your county, and it is related to the case I am pursuing, so I came here to find out about the situation." ”

"Oh, what is the case? Please make it clear to your lord, and the officials will check it carefully. Lin Zhixian made another move.

"It's the case of Yunfu, and the suspect Qin Huaiyu is one of the important witnesses in the case I am in hand now, and speaking of which, he can be regarded as my friend."

As soon as Ishikawa's words fell, Lord Lin's body lowered even lower, and fine beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.

This is really a bad year! Early in the morning, I received a letter from the housekeeper of Fan University's Mansion, which was repaid, and I already felt that if it was handled a little improperly, or if it was handled slowly, the black gauze hat on my head would be difficult to protect.

In any case, Fan Fu sued the suspect Qin Huaiyu, saying that he pushed someone into the water and attempted rape, no matter if he is just a suspect now, as long as he is caught, then he is a real murderer, no matter what, he is, anyway, he must quickly give Fan Fu a satisfactory answer.

Therefore, Qin Huaiyu is obviously just a suspect, and he can only be convicted when he is arrested and brought back for interrogation. Lord Lin immediately signed the sea fishing document and issued a general order, and the whole city arrested the murderer, which was equivalent to directly convicting Qin Huaiyu of the death penalty without interrogation.

However, Lin Zhixian had just made a coping strategy with trepidation, and when he was secretly rejoicing, an even more tricky person came, and he claimed to be a friend of the suspect Qin Huaiyu.

This friend is not an ordinary friend, he is a stone catcher!

The stone catcher is not an ordinary catcher, he is the first catcher in Shuntianfu. Moreover, he is also a second-class guard specially appointed by the emperor himself, and he is specially ordered to guard the master and lead the affairs of the Imperial Procuratorate.

Lord Lin thought of the master behind Shi Zhutou again, his head was even bigger, and he was sweating like rain! Sweat rains down!

Fan Fu didn't dare to offend, and this stone catcher and the master behind him couldn't afford to offend even the slightest!

Ishikawa saw that Lin Zhixian had been bending over with his head down, as if he couldn't straighten up anymore, so he stretched out his right hand again, and after helping him up, he said gently: "Lord Lin doesn't have to worry about it, you can just try the case according to the normal procedure, this head catcher will not interfere, but ......"

After a "but", Lord Lin's head lowered again, and his waist bent down again, and he listened to the former's "but" in fear......

"However, that suspect Qin Huaiyu has just suffered a catastrophe, not to mention that his health is not very good, and he has been poisoned and dumb, so you are only allowed to ask the case carefully, and you must not use torture against him, you know?"

After Ishikawa spoke, Xiao Yan on the side felt uncomfortable for Lin Zhixian.

That Lord Lin's heart must be bitter, try it well, ask it well, but the suspect can't speak, how can he ask and try it well?

Sure enough, Lord Lin's head lowered lower, and it is estimated that he really didn't dare to raise his head again.

"Oh, but he can't speak, but he can write, and when you try the case, give him a pen and paper, and he will write it back." Ishikawa's but can't, turning and turning, scared a forest-sama half to death.

"The subordinate obeys." Lord Lin finally raised his head slightly, replied respectfully, and then said nothing, just hoping that Ishikawa would quickly say goodbye.

However, Ishikawa wrung his brows and thought about it, and then thought about it again, just stood still, and then glanced at Xiao Yan next to him who didn't say a word, and said, "There is one more thing ......"

As soon as he said the words "one more thing", Lord Lin's waist that had just been raised slightly immediately bent down again.

Xiao Yan looked at Lord Lin, who was frightened by Ishikawa so that the three souls were gone, and it was so difficult that he couldn't hold back his laughter and said to Ishikawa: "Can you finish the words at once." ”

The latter replied to him with a "you don't understand" look, "We know a little about the Fan Mansion at the beginning, can you invite Miss Fan to come to the Yamen, there are still some details in this head, I want to ask her in detail." ”

"This ......" Ishikawa really, he even dared to mention this request, and Lord Lin was so frightened that he couldn't say the second word for a long time.

Let's ask, how dare he invite Miss Fan Fu to come to the court for questioning?

First: Miss Fan is the daughter of the house who has not yet come out of the cabinet, and now she almost suffered a great humiliation, Fan Fu is resolute, and will never let her show up in the hall to answer what happened.

Second: Fan Fu is the plaintiff, and he is in a high position, and he has already provided physical evidence, so he can just come and answer the inquiry casually when the time comes.

And now, Shi Zhutou put forward this request, which is naturally reasonable and reasonable according to normal procedures, but for Lin Zhixian, it may be too difficult for a strong person, Lord Lin was crying bitterly in his heart, and the look of embarrassment on his face, Xiao Yan next to him could hear and understand clearly.

"Otherwise, it's okay to call Miss Fan's personal maid, let's not ask questions in the hall, just find a clean room, and ask her some questions." Xiao Yan also felt that Ishikawa's question was too difficult for others, so he proposed a compromise solution, thinking that the maid would follow Miss Fan from time to time, and from her mouth, she would definitely know a lot of information.

"Okay, the next official will go, please wait for the two adults in the side room." Without waiting for Ishikawa to speak, Lord Lin immediately replied first.

Of course, he had to answer it first! As soon as the master next to him spoke, he easily solved the big problem that caused him a headache, so he was afraid that the other person next to him would think of another "but", so he immediately replied first, and stretched out his hand to ask the two to wait in the small seat in the side room.

……

Inside the Shen Mansion.

Xiang Xuemei hesitated all night, and did not fall asleep until dawn, and when she woke up, it was also three poles in the sun.

After she got up in a hurry, she didn't bother to make up, she just wanted to go to Mu Qing, talk to him, and at the same time show him her attitude.

However, when she hurriedly ran to the Xiaohua Hall, Mu Qing was not there, thinking that with Mu Qing's tutor, it was impossible for her to not get up like herself.

Could it be that he is gone? Didn't you say goodbye to yourself and leave without saying a word?

She went to look for her grandfather again, but when she saw the latter's sad face, she confirmed her thoughts even more.

"Grandfather, is he gone?" She lowered her head and asked softly, not daring to look up at her grandfather's demeanor.

"Let's go, let's go early in the morning! He also said that he asked your parents to go to the palace as soon as possible to mention the divorce, he didn't want to force you, let alone embarrass you. Old Lady Shen said slowly.

"Oh......"

If it was in the past, Xiang Xuemei would definitely jump up happily when she heard that she could withdraw from the marriage, but at this moment, she was not only not happy, but also looked disappointed and lonely.

Because, she knew that Mu Qing must have thought that she was unwilling to marry him, and she proposed to withdraw from the marriage in order to fulfill herself.

Because of this, Xiang Xuemei was extremely ashamed in her heart, she deeply thought that she had hurt Mu Qing deeply, and at the same time failed his deep affection.

I was really wrong, very wrong!
