"After falling into the water, have you ever seen Lord Guo?" The prefect asked.

Zhao Shuang said: "It was dark at the time, and I was not good at water, so I didn't drown, and then I was rescued by the kind people who came, and I was soaked, so I hurried home, and I really didn't care about saving Lord Guo." ”

At that time, the scene was chaotic, and people rescued one girl after another on the painting boat, and naturally they couldn't remember how many they saved, so Zhao Shuang said that there was no flaw in being rescued.

The prefect of Nuanzhou said in his heart: You are a little girl, you were almost forced to be a prostitute, it would be good to fall into the water and survive by yourself, and you still want to save Lord Guo, what do you do when you save Lord Guo? Strong alkali for you? This Lord Guo is really, the girls on the painting boat are not dead, he is a big man, and his water nature is not bad, why is he gone?

With Lord Guo's ability, it should not be drowned in the Nuanjun River, it should be that after the boat capsizes, the matter will definitely be known to more people, Lord Guo felt that he was rescued from the overturned flower boat, it was too embarrassing, so he swam away first and hid.

The prefect of Nuanzhou felt that his reasoning was quite wise, and said to Zhao Shuang: "Okay, you are also frightened, go back and have a good rest." ”

Zhao Shuang saluted and withdrew from the palace.

When the three apprentices outside saw that the master came out safe and sound, they were relieved and hurried over.

Zhao Shuang said: "Go home." ”

Back at home and closing the door, Hu Jingyun and Qiu Shuisheng couldn't wait to inquire about the interrogation process.

Fu Ning went to the kitchen silently, he had to do something to make up for his mistakes.

Because he failed to plan Xie Fu, he let the master accept the implication, and Guo De asked for trouble several times, but the master solved Guo De's big trouble by himself.

As an apprentice who thought he was smart, he felt that his worth had been hurt, and he should be able to heal all the obstacles in front of his master, and he should not just be a cook for her.

But so far, the value he has embodied is just that of a cook.

The next few days were uneventful, Hu Jingyun searched everywhere for high-quality ingredients from Nuanzhou, and Fu Ning used the first bucket of well water in the restaurant in March to make all kinds of delicious food, honoring Zhao Shuang.

On this morning, Zhao Shuang was sitting in the courtyard of the March restaurant drinking morning tea, when she suddenly heard gongs and drums beating on the street, and there was a commotion.

Hu Jingyun quickly went to the street to inquire about the news and came back to report: "Master, the servants escorted a scholar to the street, saying that the scholar killed Guo Zongbing, and after parading through the street, he was going to behead him at the entrance of the vegetable market three days later. ”

Scholar?

Zhao Shuang hurriedly got up and ran to the door, chasing the procession, and sure enough, he saw that the prisoner car was locked in the scholar who persuaded Zhao Shuang that day.

That Guo De was killed by Zhao Shuang, don't say that you can't frame this scholar, even if it wasn't killed by Zhao Shuang, this scholar once helped her, she can't watch him lose his life in vain.

Saving lives is a problem.

The prefect of Nuanzhou obviously asked the scholar to be a substitute for the dead and give Guo De's family an explanation, but as for the truth, they didn't care at all.

At this time, he ran to reason and said that the scholar had no motive and ability to kill, and the prefect obviously would not believe it.

Qiu Shuisheng: "Robbing the Dharma Field." ”

Fu Ning said: "The scholar's innocence is very important, and he wants to gain fame. ”

Hu Jingyun: "Is there any way to clear his name?" ”

Fu Ning: "Guo De's disappearance needs a scapegoat to settle this matter, and the Nuanzhou prefect will not let him clear his name, unless someone comes out to take the blame." ”

The three of them looked at Zhao Shuang together, the real culprit was the master, obviously, they couldn't let the master take the blame.
