Chapter 388: Return to the Nest
"Lord Jin really trusts me like that?" Liu Hongren asked very bluntly.
Jin Yuan replied very bluntly, "Naturally, now that you and I are investigating the case together, I know what Lord Liu knows, maybe Lord Liu doesn't know yet, and the official also knows, it's just a suspect, I naturally believe that Lord Liu will be detained." ”
Liu Hongren glanced at Jin Yuan deeply, and only smiled after a while, nodded at Jin Yuan, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Lord Jin is far-sighted, Liu admires!" ”
Jin Yuan just smiled, the two of them tacitly, as for Jin Yuan knowing what Liu Hongren didn't know, Liu Hongren didn't think about it, Ning Zhao was still here with him, Jin Yuan dared to say this, he would definitely not lie to himself.
This once again broke Liu Hongren's other thoughts, so he could only honestly find out the real culprit with Jin Yuan, and he didn't dare to have any other plans.
Liu Hongren praised on his lips, but scolded Jin Yuan in his heart, and when his anger was smooth, he said to Jin Yuan again: "Lord Jin is leaving like this, is it possible that the official will send someone to send his wife back to the house?" ”
Jin Yuan's footsteps paused suddenly, he looked back at Liu Hongren in surprise, and asked, "What does Lord Liu mean by this?" ”
Ning Zhao was also surprised and looked at Liu Hongren.
Liu Hongren laughed, touched his almost almost blank beard, and said with a smile: "Lord Jin took such trouble to send a surprise to the official, how could the official accept it like this, the gift is still exchanged, and naturally he has to give Lord Jin a surprise." ”
Liu Hongren pointed at Ning Zhao, made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "Now that the surprise has been returned, Lord Jin and Mrs. Jin are going well, the official is really tired, so I won't send the two." ”
Jin Yuan never expected Liu Hongren to do this, and he didn't expect to be able to take Ning Zhao back today, he was already ready, as long as the truth of the case was clarified, he would come to pick up Ning Zhao in person, but he didn't want Liu Hongren to return Ning Zhao first.
Liu Hongren wanted to sell Jin Yuan well, but this move was very good.
Jin Yuan turned around and bowed deeply to Liu Hongren, Liu Hongren was shocked, and hurriedly helped Jin Yuan, and said: "Lord Jin, what are you doing, don't bother this official!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Liu, for making it happen." Jin Yuan said.
"Whew!"
Liu Hongren had a little scorn on his face, and said: "Now the case is not as good as the previous official guessed, the truth is about to surface, and it will definitely not have anything to do with Mrs., if I force Mrs. to stay, it will really be impossible to say." ”
"Lord Liu also handled the case impartially before." Ning Zhao walked to the two of them, looked at Jin Yuan, the joy that could not be hidden in his eyes, and then blessed Liu Hongren and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu." ”
"Alright, alright."
Liu Hongren hurriedly waved his hand, and said a little unbearably: "You two hurry back, it's not early, and the official is really lacking, so I won't stay longer." ”
Although Jin Yuan and Ning Zhao don't deal with Liu Hongren much on weekdays, with these few days of contact, they still have a new understanding of Liu Hongren.
Although he studied under Master Chen, the imperial historian, fortunately, although he was more radical, he could still distinguish between good and bad, true and false, and he did not disgrace the position of court lieutenant.
Liu Hongren said this, Jin Yuan and Ning Zhao didn't have a reason to stay for a long time, so they simply said goodbye to Liu Hongren and his wife, leaving the palace maid, and the three of them went straight back to Shangshu Mansion.
"It's only been three days." Walking into the courtyard he was familiar with, Ning Zhao was full of feelings, "It really feels like a world away." ”
Jin Yuan hugged Ning Zhao from behind and hugged him tightly.
He had wanted to do this for a long time, and now that he had finally returned to his house, he no longer had to be patient, he just wanted to vent his thoughts and worries that had been flooding for the past few days.
Husband and wife are of the same heart, and so is Ning Zhao.
The two of them inexplicably had a feeling of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, although Ning Zhao did not suffer any crime this time, but was treated as a guest by Liu Hongren, but his freedom was restricted.
But if you are condescending to someone else's house, how can it be better than coming from your own home, even if Mrs. Liu takes good care of Ning Zhao, Ning Zhao still inevitably has the illusion of becoming a prisoner.
"It's good to be back."
Jin Yuan buried his head deep into Ning Zhao's neck, trying to smell the familiar breath on Ning Zhao's body, to fill in the piece that had suddenly been missing in his heart in the past few days.
Ning Zhao hugged Jin Yuan, and the two hugged each other like this, as if as long as this was the case, they could resist the harsh winter, and as long as the two were together, they would no longer be afraid of all worldly dangers.
The cold winter is coming to an end, and the warm spring is just around the corner......
Although Ning Zhao was released, before the case was clarified, Liuliju was still sealed. Ning Zhao felt that it didn't matter, he had already been sealed, and the rumors in Kyoto must have been very loud in the past few days, and it was not bad for these days.
As long as the truth is ascertained, once it is announced, Liuliju will naturally clear the suspicion, Liuliju will be wronged, as long as it is rendered again, the people's compassion will also bring Liuliju to become popular for the second time.
Therefore, Ning Zhao was not in a hurry, there were other things that made her anxious.
"When will Qin Xi and Liu Ji be released?"
Ning Zhao got up early in the morning, and before Jin Yuan went out, he had breakfast with him, and asked by the way.
"It's coming."
Jin Yuan served her a dish and said with a smile: "Now that the two of them are under my nose, Madame doesn't need to worry." ”
"Having said that, they were originally involved by me, and now that I have returned, why are they still being locked up?"
Ning Zhao ate the food that Jin Yuan gave him and muttered.
Jin Yuan smiled dotingly, and patiently explained: "Qin Xi is the boss of Liuliju, and Liu Ji is the big shopkeeper, so these two people were at the scene on the day of the incident, so they naturally had to cooperate with the investigation." ”
"Madame, rest assured."
He comforted: "Now that the palace maid who disappeared has been found, I will interrogate her with Lord Liu today, thinking about it, Qin Xi and Liu Ji will be able to come back soon." ”
Ning Zhao was indeed in a hurry, and it was rare to make trouble unreasonably, but it was just that moment, after listening to Jin Yuan's words, she compromised, drooped her head, pulled the food, and said, "It's done, anyway, it's all up to the adults." ”
Jin Yuan laughed, it was rare to smile so sincerely these days, as long as Ning Zhao was by his side, no matter what kind of situation he encountered, Jin Yuan could deal with it calmly.
The premise is that Ning Zhao must be within his reach.
Jin Yuan left the house and went straight to the Yamen in Kyoto, the old emperor gave them seven days to investigate the case, and now there are still two days to reach the appointed time, Jin Yuan and Liu Hongren dare not delay.
When Liu Hongren arrived, Jin Yuan had just arrived, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, they got to the point, Liu Hongren asked the palace maid to bring up, and the interrogation began.
"Where were you on the eve of the fifth day?" Liu Hongren asked the palace maid who was kneeling down to the hall.
The palace maid has lived in the deep palace for a long time, the so-called 'prime minister's house slave seven officials', she is the palace maid who serves the master in the East Palace, although she is not a big palace maid, but she is also enough to have an identity.
Although he is kneeling now, he also has a bit of a backbone, and at first glance, he really looks like a lady.
