Chapter 5: Destroyed
"Trouble sir. Ruan Wushuang stuffed an ingot of gold into the hand of the yacha and said.
The yacha weighed the weight of the gold in his hand, smiled happily, and said, "Go in! ”
"Got it. Ruan Wushuang replied.
Ruan Wushuang thought that when he saw Chu Ze, they would be on the day of the imperial examination, and he was full of spirit and confidence at that time. But on the contrary, he was haggard and godless in a messy and rotten prison, and he was burdened with the trumped-up charges, even more wounds all over his body, and even his handsome face was covered with a few scarlet whip marks.
"Chu Ze. Ruan Wushuang called in a low voice, his drooping eyes dark and silent.
"It's you!" Chu Ze came back to his senses when he heard this, raised his eyes and grinned, smiling as if he had seen an old friend, but he did not have the slightest embarrassment because of the situation.
"Did you kill Xiuxiu?" Ruan Wushuang didn't tremble, and in line with the purpose of coming, he asked straight to the point.
Her voice was quiet and unwavering, but it seemed like Shen Tie hitting his heart, hearing this, he smiled, but that smile was mixed with a little pain, what was he suffering from? If he agreed to take Xiuxiu away, she would not have died so miserably. Speaking of her death, he is also responsible!
"I didn't kill it!" Chu Ze said and raised his hand and hugged his head in pain, at this moment he was like a helpless child.
"That's enough. Ruan Wushuang's eyes remained unchanged.
"But if I had promised to take her away that night, she would not have died, it was me, I had killed her. Chu Ze said almost madly.
"Everyone has their own destiny, just like Chu Ze, the path you chose is completely different from the path she chose, so it is also doomed. Ruan Wushuang said lightly, from Chu Ze's words, she could probably guess what Xiuxiu told him that night, and the result was naturally that Chu Ze rejected her, which led to such an ending.
"Really?" Chu Ze sneered, Ruan Wushuang's words undoubtedly made his heart find sustenance, but maybe this was also self-deception.
"If you still want to get out of this prison and take the examination to glorify your ancestors, you'd better cheer me up. Ruan Wushuang looked at his dejected and dejected face, and couldn't help but roar.
Hearing the sound, Chu Ze's dark eyes gradually swelled with light, but he still looked like he was not alive or dead, and looking at it made people feel that they hated iron but not steel.
Then, Ruan Wushuang asked about the situation that night, and Chu Ze also told him about it.
If it was according to Chu Ze's words, Xiuxiu was probably forced by something, so she came to Chu Ze in such a hurry in the middle of the night, combined with what Closed Moon said, then her guess would be inseparable, and the murderer of Xiuxiu was Su Xiaotian. Thinking of this, Ruan Wushuang's eyes narrowed, if he was still a little embarrassed.
Su Xiaotian has the support of the Su family and the queen, so I am afraid that the Su family intends to use Chu Ze as a scapegoat? Suddenly, Ruan Wushuang sighed lightly in his heart, his eyes gathered, and he looked at Chu Ze Zhengse and said:
"Remember that Xiuxiu is not killed, I will find a way to save you out. Then he glanced indifferently at the yacha who was walking towards this side.
"Hmm. Chu Ze looked at the "young man" in front of him, who was at most a "friend of Pingshui", and couldn't help but feel a little warmer in his heart, he thought that he had no relatives and no reason in Chang'an, and now he was in prison, and he was sure to die, but this "young man" in front of him made him see the hope of life, and he couldn't help but warm his eyes for a while.
"It's time. The yacha outside urged.
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang took a deep look at Chu Ze and turned around and walked out of the cell.
Out of the cell, Ruan Wushuang was thinking about how to help Chu Ze get out, but Yu Guang happened to catch a glimpse of the woman who was talking to the head of the yacha, wasn't that the maid next to Su Muhe?
Seeing that the maidservant seemed to have made a deal with the yacha, she stuffed a silver bag into the yacha's hand. Is Su Muhe's move planning to buy the yacha and beat Chu Zequ into a trick? It was really a good calculation. It's just that if she wants to intervene in it, I'm afraid she will have to try Dugu Lianyu's tone. Thinking of this, Ruan Wushuang subconsciously bit his lower lip.
"What are you looking at? Get out of here. Seeing that she was stunned and didn't leave, the yacha who had just received Ruan Wushuang's gold pushed her and said impatiently.
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang's dark eyes darkened, these yacha really turned their faces and didn't recognize people, and then she stepped up and walked out.
In the spirit that time waits for no one, Ruan Wushuang first went back to the other courtyard to exchange his identity with Qiying, and then immediately went to the Second Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, Su Gongzi asks to see you. ”
When the guards came to report, Dugu Lianyu was leaning on the soft couch and closed his eyes, and when he heard this, he said without raising his eyelids: "Let him come in!"
In his heart, he couldn't help but guess what Su Ruan meant by coming here.
"Su Ruan has seen His Highness. Ruan Wuliang stepped into the room, glanced at it, and then lowered his eyes and said respectfully.
"Sit down. Dugu Lianyu said in a gloomy voice, his attitude towards Ruan Wushuang was not as good as that towards Song Zichen, probably because Song Zichen tried to use the available conditions to negotiate with him, but Ruan Wushuang knew how to judge moderation and what it means to be wise to obey.
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang said, "Thank you, Your Highness", and consciously found a place to sit down, of course, the position she chose was under Dugu Lianyu. This undoubtedly made Dugu Lianyu more and more satisfied with her.
Ruan Wushuang didn't explain his intentions, and Dugu Lianyu was not in a hurry to ask. Finally, she spoke first.
"Your Highness, I came here today to ask Your Highness for something. Ruan Wushuang said with a hesitation, but in his heart, he weighed and figured out Dugu Lianyu's attitude.
"Oh, why do you need Su Gongzi to make a trip in person?" Dugu Lianyu said curiously, and even more secretly had some meaning, and opened a pair of dark and dull eyes as he spoke.
His scrutinizing eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable, even with the disgust in her heart, but her face was as immobile as a face, she chuckled lightly, and eased the slightly dark and eerie atmosphere.
"I don't know if Your Highness has heard about the death of the Oiran of the Red Dust Pavilion of Desire?"
"I've heard a little. Dugu Lianyu said casually, but in his heart, he probably knew the meaning of Ruan Wushuang's coming today. It's just that he didn't open his mouth to break it.
Damn, Ruan Wushuang scolded secretly in his heart, Dugu Lian Yuming knew what she wanted to do, but he didn't say it, obviously he wanted her to speak by herself, although he didn't know what the point of him doing this was, she had to say it.
"I want to investigate this case, but I don't know ...... Your Highness"
Before Ruan Wushuang's words were finished, he saw Dugu Lianyu slap his palm on the table, and said in a gloomy tone: "Don't meddle in this case, just prepare for the imperial examination with peace of mind." ”
"Why?" Ruan Wushuang asked, she knew that this was undoubtedly a tiger's mouth plucking and nine deaths, but since she had promised Chu Ze, even if it was a tiger's mouth, she would have to give it a try, not only for Chu Ze, but also because Xiuxiu was the person she wanted from the Red Dust Pavilion, so she couldn't just die in vain.
"You question me?" Dugu Lianyu looked at Ruan Wushuang with a questioning face gloomily, but there was already murderous intent in his tone.
"It's not that His Highness is questioned, but His Highness doesn't let His Highness meddle in this case, at least let me know why?" Ruan Wushuang said word by word, every sentence was reasonable, and there was not the slightest color on her face, but no one knew that she was already beating a drum in her heart.
"You're the first person to dare to ask me why. Dugu Lianyu changed from gloomy to a cold smile, Su Ruan really had some guts, which also proved that he was a usable person, at least not like those flattering fools.
"I don't know why, so I naturally want to ask. Ruan Wushuang exhaled in his heart and said calmly. Very good, Dugu Lianyu is not "moody", which proves that she was right. After all, there are too many people who obey him, and occasionally there is a different one, which naturally makes him feel "novel", of course, the premise is that this difference must be moderate.
"Okay, the prince will tell you that this murderer is Su Xiaotian's idiot, this Su family is a dog with a bit of effect next to the prince, and the prince naturally wants to give some face. "Dugu Lianyu is not salty or light.
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang couldn't help sneering in his heart, as expected, the murderer of Xiuxiu was really Su Xiaotian, but Dugu Lianyu's description was really good, a useful dog. is so arrogant and arrogant, it is no wonder that even if Dugu Liancheng has not been in the court for many years, he still can't pull the people in the court.
"I see. Hiding the coldness in his heart, Ruan Wushuang pretended to be enlightened, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that it would not work to directly intervene in the investigation, and it seemed that if he wanted to save Chu Ze, he had to find another way.
"You want to show off your skills and have a chance to do things later. Dugu Lianyu said lightly, and closed his eyes again as he spoke.
Ruan Wushuang's gaze fell on Dugu Lianyu's body, and the coldness spread in his heart, but he couldn't help but whisper: "I know." ”
"Let's go back! Prepare well for the imperial examination, but don't let this prince down. Dugu Lianyu bit the word "disappointment" very shallowly and lightly, as light as a cloud that the wind could blow on the horizon, but she knew that the tone of voice was more like a threat.
"Yes, I will definitely not live up to His Highness's expectations. Ruan Wushuang said firmly, as if he was expressing his determination, but then Dugu Lianyu didn't respond to her, and she retreated with interest.
Out of the Second Prince's Mansion, Ruan Wushuang closed his eyes for a moment, and eased his mind, it seems that this road will not work, and the Su family has already made Chu Ze a scapegoat, and if this matter is made by Dugu Liancheng, it will not be good, maybe it will offend the queen, and she doesn't know that Dugu Liancheng and the queen have never been offended, because they are originally hostile.
Now unless the emperor comes forward in person, even Bao Qingtian will not be able to save Chu Ze in the next life, because if it is not what she expected, in addition to the people of the Su family who bought off the yamen, I am afraid that even the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn where Chu Ze lives can buy it!
Thinking of this, Ruan Wushuang couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that he could only compromise and think of a way.
