Chapter 73: The Black-bellied Governor

The fire is shining, and the edict is cold and biting.

Shi Yong stood beside Zhao Yin, he was extremely tall, and even if he sat down, he could block the wind blowing from the corridor.

But it didn't work, it blocked the wind, and it couldn't stop the cold.

Because the coolness emanated from him, Shi Yong couldn't see his face, but he saw Tu Yong kneeling on the ground clearly.

Scared?

More than.

Fear worse than fear covered Tu Yong's face.

His lips, eyebrows, shoulders, everything seemed to tremble, and he pressed it under his trembling tongue.

How terrible is Jinyiwei's handling of the "inner ghost"?

Waiting for Xian Niang's arrival, Shi Yong looked at Tu Yong's fear and remembered the scene when he saw Zhao Yin for the first time in his previous life.

At that time, Zhao Yin, who had just taken over as the commander from A, was not as convincing as he is now in this complex and mysterious power structure.

There was an uncle who was a commander who regarded himself as highly qualified and meritorious, and disobeyed his orders several times, even offended him in public and ridiculed him......

It's wonderful to say, the first time Shi Yong saw Zhao Yin, he was killing that person.

An elbow was pressed over, and with a click, the commander's neck rang, and blood splattered out, killing him with a knife in front of everyone's eyes.

The busy streets are suddenly quiet,

Zhao Yin turned his head covered in blood, and the corners of his mouth rose coldly.

Shi Yong rode by and met his eyes.

The two were more than ten feet apart, and Shi Yong couldn't even see his face clearly, but he felt the coolness in his eyes and the murderous aura in his body in the sky-rushing blood light.

Later, she heard that the man's body had been hanging at the gate of the Imperial Prison for three whole days, which shocked the Jinyi guards.

Not only that, Zhao Yin also convicted him of eight major crimes, personally led troops to raid his home, dozens of old and young, the men were exiled to the army, and the women were prostitutes and slaves......

It can be described as extremely ruthless, and the means are fierce.

Zhao Yin has a cold temperament, has no desires, and is extremely cautious and cautious in doing things, and does not reveal a drop of water, so although he has offended countless powerful people in the court since taking office, no one can find his flaws, except for secretly stabbing the villain and cursing him, I am afraid that there is no way.

Thinking about his methods, Shi Yong was worried about Sister Xian's safety.

"Take it." When he was thinking wildly, Zhao Yin's voice came over, which made Shi Yong stunned.

She looked over, a cup of hot tea was held by his slender fingers, and the clean nails were actually transparent and powdery, which was particularly beautiful.

These hands, no matter how you look at it, shouldn't grow on a living Hades who kills people without blinking.

Shi Yong took it silently, his cold fingers warmed, and his mood eased a little.

For a moment, she felt ridiculously that Zhao Yin saw through what she was thinking, and asked her to hold the tea cup to warm her hands.

This thought,

It's ridiculous!

————

The people who were brought in with Xian Niang also included the husband who claimed to have seen the "ghost of Shi Yong" and several jailers who were on duty last night.

Seeing that Shi Yong was also here, Xian Niang was stunned, she didn't know it, she knelt beside Tu Yong delicately, and begged Zhao Yin for mercy.

"My lord, it was the slave family who asked Tu Yong to come to Xianyun Pavilion, and he didn't leave until the fourth watch...... Slaves can testify. ”

Her words were diametrically opposed to those of several jailers.

The jailers identified Tu Yong not only in prison, but also in Xu Jinyuan's cell.

She said that Tu Yong had been in Xianyun Pavilion all night.

When several jailers heard this, they also panicked and knelt down one after another to beg for mercy.

"Grand Duke, she's lying. How many of them will I admit that Tu Yong is wrong? This little woman is obviously trying to exonerate Tu Yong, the two of them are on good terms, and she can't believe her words. ”

"My lord, the slave family dares to swear to the sky, if there is half a lie, the sky will not be able to die if the thunder strikes......"

Xian Niang was born in a private place, and her speech was delicate and soft, even if she swore in the face of a man, her face was still difficult to hide her shyness and charm, like a mandarin duck plucking water, which made people's ears itch.

Zhao Yin: "Why did you just call him last night?" ”

Xian Niang lowered her head, and pressed the corner of her eyes with a scarf, "The slave family is not a good family, although it is now doing serious business, there is still the idea of going to the door and beating the slave family......"

A beautiful woman opens a shop alone, and has the experience of doing private houses, it is inevitable that she will be harassed by the disciples, and in recent days, several men with foreign accents have repeatedly come to the door to find trouble, and let Xian Niang accompany the wine, but she wants to rely on it.

Xian Niang couldn't stand it, so she called Tu Yong over and pretended to be her man. Tu Yong was on an errand in the Imperial Prison, and ordinary people had to worry about it when they saw it, Xian Niang wanted to prevent future troubles, but she didn't know that Tu Yong was on duty, and she didn't know that such a big incident would happen and hurt him.

"My lord, it's all the slaves who don't know about it, and they poured him wine and missed the errand. Punish me if you want to, he's a good man......"

Xian Niang cried and cried, seeing that Tu Yong was distressed and sad, she kept begging Zhao Yin for mercy, and she didn't take care of herself between her words, but she was afraid that she would be implicated.

Shi Yong saw that Zhao Yin's face was cold, without any pity, he cleared his throat and diverted the conversation.

"Have you seen a ghost in white?"

Tu Yong shook his head, only to say that he drank too much and didn't see anything. Xian Niang also shook her head with tears in her eyes, saying that she didn't see it.

The same goes for several jailers.

Only the husband was conclusive about the matter of "seeing ghosts", and in front of Zhao Yin, he described it vividly. Judging from his words, it is generally the same as the "female ghost in white" that Shi Yong saw in Shuixi Lane and Tianshou Mountain.

"There's something strange about this." Shi Yong glanced at Xian Niang, walked around Zhao Yin's side, stood in front of him, saluted him uprightly, and said calmly.

"My lord, Sister Xian and I are old acquaintances, I believe her and won't lie."

When she took Xiao Bing's jade order, Zhao Yin knew that she had dealings with Xian Niang, although he didn't ask, he must have doubts in his heart, rather than letting him think about it, it was better to find out directly.

"Presumably, like me, my lord also believes the words of the elder brother of the jailer. So, the question is, if Sister Xian and several jailer brothers didn't lie, did it mean that at the time of the third watch last night, there were two Tu Yong at the same time in the Imperial Prison and Xianyun Pavilion? And the eldest brother of the husband, almost at the same time, saw the female ghost in white near the edict? ”

Zhao Yin slowly flipped through the paperwork in his hand, his eyelids raised slightly.

"Nobody is lying? Are you trying to tell me that there really are ghosts? ”

"Yes." Shi Yong looked at him calmly, "I promised my lord that I would catch this ghost for you." As long as you catch her, these problems will be solved. ”

Zhao Yin: "Have you thought about it?" ”

"I've figured it out."

"It's up to you."

Zhao Yin slowly stood up and looked at Tu Yong and Xian Niang, the pair of wild mandarin ducks, "Hold it down." ”

"The Grand Governor." Tu Yong kowtowed heavily, "Please let Xianniang go, she is innocent......"

"Shut up!" Zhao Yin raised his hand to interrupt him.

But the eyes fell coldly on Shi Yong's face.

"When the water comes out, there is a certainty."

Only then did Shi Yong understand what he meant by the phrase "think about it" when he asked just now.

Dare to love this person who took Xian Niang into prison late at night, and he didn't want to hear any "truth" from Xian Niang's mouth at all - when both sides insisted on their own words, the truth could not be confirmed.

His real purpose was to force her to make a move.

Fulfill the promise of ghost hunting,

What's more, force out more of her secrets.

What is this interrogation of them? It's clearly dealing with her!

When Shi Yong looked at Zhao Yin again, his expression was already different.

This person is indifferent, dark and vicious, and he doesn't know how many calculating people are hidden in his stomach, and when this matter is over, he must stay away from him and go far away, so as not to accidentally twist his head off and not know it.

This night, Shi Yong felt that his "female devil" had done it in vain.

On the way back from the prison, the sky had already opened, and she walked lovelessly, smelling the breakfast fireworks of the roadside vendors, her stomach growled, and then she remembered that she hadn't eaten for a long time.

Miserable.

Shi Yong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked left and right, got into an uninhabited alleyway, pursed his lips, and whistled loudly.

In just a moment, Da Hei was dressed in wet night dew, and ran towards her from a distance, wagging his tail desperately and pounced on her, whimpering in his throat, very cheerful.

------Off topic------

Ah, when I write about Dahei, my heart is warm.

See you tomorrow, little fairies.
