Chapter 445: Walking the Water

"That's exactly what it means."

Jin Yuan smiled and said, "So, it's still the same sentence, let's wait, we won't wait too long." ”

To appease Ning Zhao, Jin Yuan was also a little tired, after all, he was injured, and his spirit was not always good, one of them was injured and the other was pregnant, and they both felt very tired, and they basically didn't rest last night, so the two went to bed together to take a nap.

I felt that I hadn't slept for long, and when I woke up again, it was already noon.

Ning Zhao opened his eyes and found that Jin Yuan was not by his side, so he was startled and sat up suddenly.

"Awake?"

Jin Yuan's voice came from not far away, Ning Zhao raised his eyes, and saw Jin Yuan sitting back at the desk again, but when he saw someone, Ning Zhao relaxed suddenly.

Xu experienced last night, Jin Yuan was not around, Ning Zhao was a little uneasy, or she was pregnant, and all the negative emotions were difficult to contain.

Ning Zhao pressed his temples, a little dissatisfied with his current self, feeling too pretentious.

"What's wrong?"

Jin Yuan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, reached out to hold Ning Zhao's hand, and asked, "Are you hungry?" Qing Cicada has already prepared lunch, and I'll let her bring it over now. ”

It's okay not to mention it, but when he mentions it, Ning Zhao really feels hungry.

She nodded immediately, Jin Yuan smiled and was just about to get up to call someone, Ning Zhao got off the bed and said, "It's better for you not to go out, lest someone see it and spread it." ”

"I'd better go." Ning Zhao said.

When Jin Yuan heard this, he nodded and said with a smile: "Then Mrs. Hard." ”

What's so hard about this, Ning Zhao still felt that he couldn't help much, and he couldn't say how he felt in his heart.

Lunch is used in the room, and as soon as the door is closed, how the couple should be, it is more ordinary, if this appearance is seen by Murong Cheng, he may be angry to death.

For no other reason, this assassination incident was not as complicated as Ning Zhao thought, because it was arranged by Murong Cheng at all.

Jin Yuan was seriously injured, although he did not die, although Murong Cheng had regrets, he was also very satisfied, at least in this way, Jin Yuan could not continue the construction of the official road, then it was his chance to perform.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, and Murong Cheng looked back at it, and a man dressed as a retinue walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "See Your Highness." ”

"How's it going?" Murong Cheng leaned back in his chair, his voice lazy.

The entourage frowned and looked at Murong Cheng, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Murong Cheng squinted slightly when he saw this, his voice sank, and said, "If you have anything, just say it, don't be stumbling in front of this palace!" ”

The entourage hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the people who were captured were all locked up in the county jail, and their subordinates went down to see it, but the guards were all from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and the subordinates couldn't see anyone at all." ”

"King Chu?" Murong Cheng snorted lightly and said, "This time he was also lucky, that arrow didn't shoot accurately, otherwise it would have really saved the palace a lot of trouble." ”

The entourage hesitated, spoke again, and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is injured, this time he will definitely not give up, and those few people can't stay." ”

Murong Cheng snorted, took a sip of the teacup leisurely, and said lightly: "Naturally, you can't stay." ”

As he spoke, he looked at his entourage, becoming sharper than his previous laziness, and said, "You know what to do." ”

Just for a moment, the entourage lowered his gaze and didn't dare to look at Murong Cheng, and said respectfully: "My subordinates understand!" ”

"If you understand, do it." Murong Cheng moved his neck, his face regained his leisure, and said slowly: "It's just a trivial matter, if this can't be done, you won't come back." ”

The entourage shook his body, fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Subordinates obey orders!" Mission accomplished! ”

Murong Cheng stopped talking, raised his hand and waved it casually, then closed his eyes and recuperated.

The entourage quickly retreated, and after the door was closed, the entourage let out a long breath of turbidity, and a trace of entanglement flashed on his face, and then he gritted his teeth and his expression became fierce.

"I can't be blamed for that." The attendant muttered softly, resolute and cruel in his voice, "If you want to blame, you can only blame you for following the wrong master!" ”

With that, the entourage lifted his feet and left the palace.

That night, the county government prison suddenly went to the water, and the strange thing was that the place where the water was held was the one where the assassination of Jin Yuan's black-clothed man was held.

"Your Highness!" The prefect of Lindu hurriedly rushed to the palace and asked to see Murong Ji.

Murong Ji thought that there was a clue, but he never thought that there was no clue, and the only one was broken, and he was rarely furious.

"Rubbish!" Murong shouted angrily, pointed to the Lindu prefect who was kneeling in front of him, and shouted: "The county government prison is heavily guarded, how can you walk the water?" What are you guys all doing? I can't even keep a prisoner! What does this king want you to do?! ”

"Your Highness!" The prefect of Lindu really cried, both aggrieved and frightened, kowtowed again and again, and justified: "The lower officials don't know how this kind of thing happened!" Xia Guan personally led people to guard the prison, and did not return to the house to rest until he was close to the son, but as a result, as soon as Xia Guan walked on the front foot, the back foot prison went away! The lower official is really wronged! ”

"Shut up!" Murong was extremely furious and asked: "The county government prison is your chassis, and the guards are all your people, but now that the prison is on fire and the prisoners are burned alive, you can't escape the blame!" ”

"The crime of the lower official deserves death! I beg your highness to forgive your sins! "The prefect of Lindu was in tears, and he never expected that things would turn out like this.

The construction of the official road has been smooth sailing, and all the local officials who have passed have not been commended by the imperial court, except for the corrupt officials in Daxing, they are all promoted and made a fortune in the scenery, how can they get to themselves here with such twists and turns!

I thought that I could be the same as other local officials, even if I couldn't be promoted, at least there would be a reward, but now it's good, I can't count on the promotion and reward, and now even my life is in danger.

The prefect of Lindu is bitter! It's miserable!

"You deserve to die!"

Murong said angrily: "The capital is under your jurisdiction, and it is an unforgivable crime to assassinate the prince and the imperial court officials. ”

"Nian has been working hard for many years, and at this time, the incident happened suddenly, and you were asked to investigate this case and make meritorious contributions, but you couldn't even keep a prisoner, you really deserve to die!"

"Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ...... "The prefect of Lindu was powerless to defend himself, so he had to lie on the ground and cry more than once."

Murong Ji was so crying that he had a headache, and yelled irritably: "Shut up! What's the use of crying now? Can you catch the real murderer by crying? ”

"No, no! The lower official is guilty! ”

The prefect of Lindu hurriedly closed his voice and said with a sob.

"This king will give you one last chance!"

Murong Ji took a deep breath, eased his emotions, sat back in his seat, stared at the prefect of Lindu, and ordered: "All the people who have been in and out of the prison tonight have been found out for me to interrogate, it is impossible for the prison to catch fire for no reason, someone must have deliberately set fire to disturb the audio-visual." ”

"Find this out!" Murong Ji said coldly: "As long as you do it, you will always leave clues, this king will not believe it, and he can't find this real murderer!" ”
