"It's hard to say this."

Xu Huaiyuan sighed: "Maybe yes, maybe not." Xiao Ke always felt that this matter had something to do with his cousin. ”

Cousin? Is that the pestering spirit who has the disease of the tsundere princess?

What does she have to do with this?

"Young Grandpa Xu confused Ning Mou. What does Sister Ling have to do with this? ”

Xu Huaiyuan hesitated for a long time but gritted his teeth and said, "Blame me for not making it clear to Friend Ning, the matter has to start from a year ago." ”

After a pause, Xu Huaiyuan continued: "My cousin is pampered by the family, not to mention being a female celebrity at home, and often wandering on the street. One day, she went to the Qinhuai River with her personal maid to enjoy the scenery and met a Meng prodigal son who was flirting. At that time, my cousin was frightened and ran away. ”

Ning Xiu secretly sighed in his heart, how bold he must be to dare to tease Wei Guogong's niece.

"Later, my cousin told Xiao Ke about the matter, and Xiao Ke was naturally very angry, and ordered the whole house to investigate the matter, and finally found out who was the person who molested my cousin by the Qinhuai River that day."

"Who is it?"

Sun Wufan swallowed and spat, his face full of anticipation.

"Gao Sheng, the son of Gao Yang, the eunuch of Nanjing."

"What? Can a eunuch have a son? ”

Sun Wufan said with round eyes.

"Ahem, this Gao Sheng is not the biological son of Eunuch Gao, but the godson who has been recognized."

Sun Wufan wanted to roll his eyes, and said in his heart, can you finish talking at one time, don't gasp.

Ning Xiu was secretly surprised, how is this like the Internet, one link after another, the dangers are full of climaxes and reversals, it is really exciting.

Xu Huaiyuan didn't know what Ning Xiu was thinking, so he said to himself: "I asked someone to keep an eye on this Gao Sheng, and saw the opportunity to drag him out and beat him on the street when he went to the Qinglou to find fun." ”

"That's it?"

Sun Wufan was obviously disappointed, shook his head and said, "Young Master Xu should have directly ordered someone to castrate him, it's also a scourge for this kind of person to keep that thing." Doesn't he like to recognize eunuchs as godfathers? Then fulfill his wish and turn him into a eunuch too! ”

"Ahem, Xiao Ke did have such a mind at the time, but if you think about it, you can't do too much."

Sun Wufan sighed: "Is there anything in this world that Grandpa Xu is afraid of?" ”

"Xiao is not afraid of him, but afraid of his godfather. His godfather Gao Yang is a eunuch in Nanjing, and the power in his hands is not small. The most important thing is that he is an internal prisoner, and it will be quite tricky to impeach my Wei State Mansion. ”

Sun Wufan scratched his head and said: "Nanjing, the mansion of the Duke of Wei, how can you be afraid of a eunuch." ”

"I'm afraid he'll make things out of nothing."

Xu Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "After all, it is easier for the inner eunuch to gain His Majesty's trust than Xungui, in case the high eunuch is determined to oppose my Wei State Mansion, it will definitely set off a bloody storm." ”

Ning Xiu agreed with what Xu Huaiyuan said. The status of the eunuchs in Nanjing is definitely not to be underestimated, although they are not as good as those eunuchs in Beijing, but they can also listen to the music to the sky.

As long as the eunuch Gao wants to join the Duke of Wei, he can directly deliver it to the palace without going through the sorting of the General Administration, so there is not even a buffer room for maneuver.

And compared with eunuchs, the military generals and nobles themselves are suspicious.

No king would choose to believe Wuxun's words and not his domestic slaves.

Xu Huaiyuan's demeanor is indeed just right, and he is extremely measured.

"Does Grandpa Xu suspect that this person has a grudge and wanton revenge?"

Ning Xiu asked tentatively.

"Xiao Ke is just guessing. Because apart from this person, Xiao Ke really can't think of anyone else to offend. ”

Xu Huaiyuan looked a little lonely: "Xiao Ke thinks, Friend Ning will definitely help Xiao Ke track down!" ”

Forehead... Why did you go around in a big circle and finally come back again?

"Ning is just a scholar, even if he wants to help Grandpa Xu investigate the case, he can't start. However, I will definitely give Grandpa Xu spiritual support. ”

"Moral support? What do you mean? ”

Xu Huaiyuan said curiously.

"Spiritual support means that Ning will pray for Grandpa Xu, praying that you will catch the real culprit as soon as possible."

Xu Huaiyuan: "......"

"Alas, although the case has been handed over to the government for handling, I don't think it will be resolved in the end."

Xu Huaiyuan clenched his fists and said very unwillingly: "After all, the bigger this matter is, the greater the impact on Jingzhou officials, whether it is the prefect or the county order, they must hope to close the case quickly." ”

"It's better for Grandpa Xu to repair a book and ask someone to send it to Nanjing to hand it over to Wei Guogong to see if Wei Guogong has a way."

Ning Xiu offered a strategy.

"I've thought about this little one, but I don't want it."

"Young Grandpa Xu is afraid that Wei Guogong will tell you to go back to Nanjing as soon as possible after knowing about this!"

Sun Wufan smiled and said: "Then tell the messenger to slow down, so that you can play for a few more days." ”

Ning Xiu glared at Sun Wufan, and the fat man stopped talking.

"Where is Xiao Ke for himself, Xiao Ke is for his cousin. My cousin has always wanted to come to Jinghu to play, but it is rare to come out of a trip and never expect to encounter such a thing. Alas! ”

I can't see that Xu Huaiyuan values this cousin so much.

Ning Xiu felt that Xu Huaiyuan and Yu Lingxue didn't seem to be a simple brother and sister relationship. Vaguely, it seems that there is a relationship between men and women between the two.

"Skynet is restored but not leaked, Ning believes that if it is really that Gao Sheng wants to harm Grandpa Xu, sooner or later he will be punished by the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

Since Xu Huaiyuan couldn't be ruthless, Ning Xiu had no choice but to comfort him like this.

"No, it can't be left that way." Xu Huaiyuan shook his head and said, "I hope that Friend Ning can cooperate with me in a play." ”

"Acting?"

Ning Xiu was surprised and said, "Young Master Xu might as well talk about it." ”

"Rather friends, come here with your ears."

Ning Xiu hesitated for a moment, but then took the initiative to lean over.

Xu Huaiyuan whispered to Ning Xiu and arched his hand: "Please." ”

"Okay, Ning did his best."

......

......

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson.

Several jailers in the county jail were talking and laughing, eating, drinking, and boxing, which was so unhappy.

Living a life is a mix, being able to mix a day is a day, just be happy.

"Angkor, we can't all get drunk, at least we have to stay sober, otherwise we ......"

"Otherwise, this cell door is tightly locked, and the key is on us, and you are afraid that they will not be able to escape. Don't spoil the fun, drink it! ”

"Well, I'll drink it."

Several jailers drank in the dark, and the cell head kicked Du Qi beside him and scolded with a smile: "Old Seven, you better take a look again." There's no problem, a few brothers get drunk and rest. ”

"Okay, I'll go now, and let the water pee by the way."

He stood up with his desk in his hand, and walked with a torch in his hand.

There were no problems in the first few cells, and the prisoners were huddled together and sleeping in the corners. But when he walked to the cell where the White Lotus Sect was holding the female prisoner, he noticed something unusual.

Damn, why is there so much blood spilling from the corners of that female prisoner's mouth!

......

......

Du Qi was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his teeth chattering.

It was a long time before he trembled and stood up and walked out against the prison wall.

He didn't know how long he had walked in just a few dozen steps, and the dim candlelight reflected on his face, and he could faintly see the blood vessels under the pale complexion.

Wu Prison Boss was really startled when he saw Du Qi's appearance, and waved his hand and scolded: "Why did you kid go for so long?" Look at your appearance, I don't know and think that you just came back from the ghost gate? ”

Du Qi stammered: "Ah, she's dead, dead......"

Wu Cell Leader was displeased and said, "What is dead?" What nonsense are you talking about? ”

The county government prison is not like a Jinyi guard prison, and it does not frequently torture to extract confessions, so it is rare for prisoners to die because they can't stand the torture. Few of the prisoners held in the county government are death row inmates, so suicide is not common.

That's why Cell Boss Wu felt strange. How can someone die if they are good?

Wrong......

Wu Jiaotou's heart tightened, and the gloomy clouds between his eyebrows quickly gathered.

There is another one, and another person will be put to death according to the law, and maybe he will have to cut it with a thousand knives to make an example.

That person is the female bandit of the White Lotus Sect!

"You shouldn't say that the White Lotus Sect female bandit is dead!"

Wu Prison grabbed Du Qi's collar and asked almost with a roar.

Du Qi cried and said, "It's her, it's her." I just went to inspect the cell, and when I went to the innermost room, I saw that the White Lotus Sect female bandit was bleeding to death. It was a terrible sight. ”

"Fuck!"

Wu Jiaotou shook off Du Qi and scolded.

He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, stomped his foot and said, "This is a big trouble." ”

He thought for a long time, and said with a gloomy face: "Old Seven, you hurry up and ask to see the eldest master, and report to him the violent death of the female bandit." ”

"Huh?"

Du Qi's eyes widened, and he looked surprised.

"Wu, Wu Tou'er, why did you call me to go?"

Seeing the reluctance on Du Qi's face, Wu Cell Head was even more angry. He kicked at Du Qi: "Waste his mother's words." You found out about this unfortunate thing, who will go if you don't go? Do you want Lao Tzu to go? ”

Du Qi secretly slandered in his heart, and whenever he encountered something good on weekdays, he would let you rob it. When I encounter this disgusting thing, I think of us.

He said aggrievedly: "Wu Tou'er, but the old man is sleeping in the middle of the night." If I'm going to annoy him....."

Wu Prison sneered, knuckles creaking.

"If you go now, you will be scolded by the county lord at most. If I go again tomorrow, I guess I'll have to eat the board. ”

"Why is that?"

"Knowing and not reporting the crime is one more degree!"

"But, only we know about it. If you don't say it, I won't say it......"

"The problem is that Lao Tzu already knows! And now that the White Lotus Sect female bandit is dead, there will inevitably be corpse spots on her body tomorrow. Do you think that after some inspection, the county government will not be able to see when that stinky girl died? When the time comes, you will be charged with concealment, and see what the big master does with you! ”

Du Qi was so frightened that he trembled.

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go."

Although he said what he was talking about, he did not listen to the command, and it took a long time to move a few steps.

Wu Prison looked annoyed and kicked Du Qi's buttocks, making Du Qi almost fall into the mud.

At this time, Du Qi woke up like a dream, and he was busy trotting to find the eldest master to report.

"Big lord, big lord has a jailer asking to see you!"

In a daze, Yao Chen only felt that someone was calling him.

After opening his eyes and sitting up, he turned his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

The old servant who was waiting for him said again respectfully: "It's the jailer of the county government, and he asked to see the eldest master." ”

Yao Chen couldn't believe his ears.

Fucking weird things can happen to him.

What did a jailer do when he came running in the middle of the night?

"Didn't you tell him that the official was asleep!"

There is already a clear sense of rebuke in the words.

The old servant lowered his head.

"Master Qiqi, he said that he has something important to report to the eldest master, and there is no delay at all."

Yao Chen snorted coldly, his nostrils dilated, and he said angrily: "Tell him to wait, wait for the official to change his clothes and see him again!" ”

"Yes."

The old servant respectfully withdrew.

Yao Chen shook his head and secretly scolded these guys for not knowing the rules.

Fortunately, he was tired tonight and didn't have sex with a concubine.

Otherwise, it would be too disappointing if someone disturbed him when he was enjoying himself.

He put on a civilian robe, tied his belt, stepped on his boots, and then walked to the table, picked up the bronze mirror, and took a photo.

After making sure that there was no problem with his appearance, Yao Chen coughed and said, "Call him in." ”

The old servant got Yao Chen's order, so he let Du Qi in.

Du Qi was just an ordinary jailer, where had he seen such a noble person as Yao Xianling, he was immediately so frightened that he couldn't speak, so he froze there.

Yao Chen was even more displeased when he saw this person dumbfounded.

Hurry up and talk about it in the middle of the night if you wake me up, like a wooden man.

"You said that you have something important to do to see this official?"

In desperation, Yao Chen had to take the initiative to ask.

"Ah, yes, yes. The eldest master, the little one just made his rounds in the prison as usual, and found that the White Lotus Sect Female Bandit was bleeding to death! ”

Only then did Du Qi react and hurriedly bowed to Yao County.

Yao Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you talking about, that White Lotus Sect female bandit is dead?" ”

"Yes, the seven orifices bleed, and the dead can't die anymore."

Yao Chen only felt that his qi and blood were surging, and his chest was like a stone blocked.

Originally, early the next morning, he planned to ask someone to send this White Lotus Sect female bandit to the prefect's yamen.

In this way, the trial of the case became the task of the Li Governor's office, and he could be relieved.

But who knew that this female bandit died suddenly, or bleed, this is not a poisonous death?

"You shit, wine bags and rice bags!"

Yao Chen's lips trembled, and he reprimanded sternly: "That White Lotus Sect female bandit was fine when she was imprisoned, why did she die violently at night?" What are you giving her food? ”

Du Qi was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed like pounding garlic and said: "Master Mingjian, the little ones do their duty. Everything that was served to the prisoners was made uniformly, and the same was true for the female bandits. The other prisoners are all fine, but she died suddenly, and she really doesn't do anything about the little ones. ”

He said in his heart that it was not a good thing to come to report to the eldest lord, and when the eldest lord was angry, he would definitely sprinkle his anger on the person who had the news. This Wu cell head is really not a thing!

Yao Chen only felt upset: "Come and call the servant to go to the cell for inspection." This official wants to see what this White Lotus Sect female bandit ate and suddenly died of poison! ”
