"I got up at night to look for a latrine, and I tripped over something under the poplar tree, but I was very scared."

Nan Shu leaned over and pointed to the uneven place under his feet, which seemed to be traces of something hastily buried, and the soil was still very loose.

The faces of the two of them gradually became heavy, and they didn't know if it was the hazy moonlight, and Xiang Yeqi felt that he understood why Nanshu was afraid, because the shape of the soil protruded was like a human face with a miserable expression.

"Nanshu, you turn around."

Time was pressing, and Xiang Yeqi didn't have time to explain his suspicions to Nan Shu, so he hurriedly ordered someone to turn around, and Nan Shu also turned sideways very obediently.

……

Sure enough!

Xiang Yeqi couldn't help but retched twice, she couldn't see such a scene after all.

She didn't dig too deeply, she just dug open the dirt on the surface, and revealed the dark secret of the Shang Zheng Academy—they killed someone! She didn't know who the girl was, but the bruised cheeks covered with bruises and the almost broken curvature of her neck had already explained the cause of her death.

Looking directly at the woman's frightened eyes, Xiang Yeqi, who was also a woman, also felt a sad sentimentality of the dead fox of the rabbit, her feet were stopped on this land, how could she be completely out of the matter? If nothing is done, it is also a disguised connivance at such atrocities.

Nan Shu's curiosity is not much more honest than Xiang Yeqi, and he didn't hear Xiang Yeqi turn around for a long time, Nan Shu turned around on his own initiative, and was almost frightened by the scene in front of him.

"Don't shout." Xiang Yeqi was still burying the girl's body, and was almost frightened by Nan Shu's startled behavior, and saw that this person was really dishonest, so he had to warn.

Nan Shu nodded, and swallowed the scream that was enough to wake up the entire academy back into his stomach, only squinting his eyes, and glancing at Xiang Yeqi from time to time.

After Xiang Yeqi dealt with these little troubles, Nan Shu finally asked impatiently, "Why did you bury her back again?" They're killing someone, you, aren't you aiding the abuse? ”

"Do you know what it means to be abettorized?"

Xiang Yeqi didn't care about Nanshu's almost hoarse accusation, she sneered, and concentrated on wiping the dirt on her hands with a handkerchief.

In Nan Shu's eyes, Xiang Yeqi was simply trying to erase the last trace of the girl in the world.

"Why didn't I know? Although my father always scolded me for not doing my duty, I also know what a human conscience is, and I don't really think of doing evil! ”

The word young and vigorous is especially suitable for Nan Shu at this time, her unbearable appearance but still has to lower her voice in order to hide her traces, which really makes Xiang Yeqi angry, but for Nan Shu's self-righteous headache, it has not been alleviated from beginning to end.

Rather than letting Nanshu make noise in his ears, Xiang Yeqi would rather hang two beehives in his ears.

"See it?" Xiang Yeqi waved a silk handkerchief stained with mud in front of Nan Shu, "If you don't plan to listen to me quietly, I'll have to take advantage of the rude way." ”

Looking at Nan Shu's disgusted face, Xiang Yeqi secretly sighed that this method was the right choice.

"Since you asked me why I was abetting the abuse, then I also want to ask Miss Nanshu about you, do you remember the way down the mountain? Do you know the way to the Yamen of Luzhou? I don't ask you if you have any way to leave the Merchant Academy, I just ask you, after you leave here to report to the officials, how can you ensure that when you come back with the officers and soldiers, the evidence is still there? ”

Nanshu was dumbfounded.

"What is the reason why the Shangzheng Academy disciplined those rebellious and unruly women in the world, even the imperial court is very curious, do you think the imperial court sends people to investigate whether the Shangzheng Academy has any shady deeds every year, will there be fewer times? But since nothing has been found, it means ...... They were sure that the central government would not be able to find out anything. You and I are in the academy, no different from being under house arrest, what can we do? ”

Nan Shu couldn't answer half a word of every word she asked to Yeqi, and it wasn't until she met Xiang Yeqi that she knew what the resentment in her heart couldn't calm down was, it was her arrogant self, and she was full of hypocritical pride.

"I'm not going to let her get wronged, do what I can. Go back and rest. ”

After a pause, she glanced at Nan Shu, Nan Shu was like a young bird just fished out of the rain, so pitiful, which made her can't help but be a little soft-hearted, and felt that she was too "mean" to Nan Shu, after all, when Nan Shu was at home, she should also be a pearl in the palm of her hand, how could she endure the guidance of an outsider?

Who would have thought that Nan Shu's eyes would turn around, and it would be like a firefly.

She jumped forward and grabbed Xiang Yeqi's arm, her eyes full of worship for Xiang Yeqi: "Chivalrous girl! I already knew that you were not ordinary, you must know something, so you made a special trip to investigate, right? Why don't you tell me what you know? ”

"Chivalry, chivalry...... You're exalting me too much, and I can't afford to be called that. ”

This vain title directly gave Xiang Yeyan goosebumps, and Nan Shu was a stupid child who had read too much of the book.

At this point, Xiang Yeqi couldn't wait to swallow the words just now back into her stomach, she was repeatedly victimized by her own soft-heartedness, and she believed that what she rescued was a poor little white flower that was harmless to humans and animals.

"No, you can afford it!"

Nanshu once again expressed his affirmation to Xiang Yeqi.

If it is said that why Nanshu is so determined to bear the word "chivalrous woman" for the night, it is not for no reason. She smiled embarrassedly, and hooked her fingers timidly: "Chivalrous girl, aren't you curious why I encountered this kind of thing in the middle of the night, and I was the first to look for you?" Because—"

glanced at Nan Shu differently, but Nan Shu refused to continue.

Didn't you just want to get something out of her mouth?

Xiang Yeqi shook his head helplessly, and had to let go: "You say it first." ”

"I'm also from Luzhou!" Nan Shu smiled, "Although Wan Zhifu has just moved here with his family, I still met Miss Wan at the housewarming banquet of Wan Zhifu - not like you." And I also said a few words to her, she has no sisters, not even cousins. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Ye's heartbeat almost missed a beat.

Threatening her?

"Don't, don't kill me!"

Nan Shu was startled by Xiang Ye's suspicious gaze, and immediately ducked back a few steps, waving his hand again and again to deny: "I didn't mean to threaten you!" You see, I recognized your identity from the beginning, but I didn't debunk you, isn't it very trustworthy? So chivalrous girl, just tell me! ”

"Miss Nanshu."

Xiang Yeqi sighed this time, out of emotion for Nanshu's intelligence.

And Nan Shu thought that Xiang Yeqi was going to make a generous speech with a big pattern, and she couldn't wait to find a pen and ink to write and recite on the spot, she nodded very seriously and said: "You say! ”

"It's good for you to read less scripts."

After that, Xiang Yeqi was about to turn around and leave, but before he could take a few steps, he was grabbed by Nan Shu's wrist: "Woman, how dangerous it is for you to be alone in this kind of place-I can help you and be a witness for you!" ”

"Miss Nanshu, I'll tell you the truth......"

Xiang Yezhuang solemnly cleared his throat.

"Since you have recognized that I am not Miss Wan, then I will no longer hide it, in fact, I am the heroine who guards the peace of the capital! But I can't tell you directly. Xiang Yeqi couldn't make up any too loud name for a while, so he had to prevaricate her: "If you can recognize me, then we are also destined, in the next few days, you must listen to my words and grasp the evidence of the traitor department of the Shangzheng Academy as soon as possible." The Shangzheng Academy was closed by the imperial court one day earlier, so you might as well leave here one day earlier. ”

For Nanshu, which is extremely "toxic", the method of treating ordinary people has no effect, and can only choose to "fight poison with poison" to see who is more poisonous.

This time, Nanshu believed it.

She seemed to have received some extremely solemn task from Xiang Yeqi, and even learned the style of a righteous scholar from the rivers and lakes, and arched her fist at Xiang Yeqi, and promised: "What the chivalrous girl says is what it is!" I will definitely help the chivalrous woman solve this mystery! ”

Xiang Yeqi finally bluffed Nanshu, the unlucky child, and gave the first "order" with relief: "Go back and rest first, and talk about it tomorrow if you have something." ”

Before she drank alcohol, Nan Shu was already drunk and began to walk unsteadily, her eyes were all on Xiang Ye's body, if she didn't stop Nan Shu a little, and then indulged like this, I was afraid that she Nan Shu would be like drinking fake wine, and she would start to pull Xiang Yeqi to worship on the spot and recognize a half-mother and daughter......

Thinking about it to the night is terrifying, terrifying.

However, before Xiang Yeqi walked far with Nanshu, he was dizzy by the candlelight not far away, and the shadow of the woman's posture was reflected on the stone wall not far away. ”

Nan Shu shuddered when she heard it, but the candlelight was right in front of her, indicating that Honggu was outside the courtyard at this time, blocking the only way for the two of them, and then walked down, she must have met her.

"You hide behind a tree first."

Xiang Yeqi pointed to the hundred-year-old willow tree behind him, which took up a small half of the yard, motioned for people to hide behind it, and then instructed: "I'll break her up, you find a chance to leave, I have a way to get out." ”

At this time, Nanshu was convinced of Xiang Yeqi's decision, and only cared about making people more careful, so he trotted all the way to hide behind the tree.

Xiang Yeqi strode out of the courtyard, and sure enough, he met the angry Honggu, and opened his mouth to reprimand: "Who allowed you to walk around in the courtyard?" I think you've forgotten the rules of the academy and stretched out your hand! ”

"Auntie, I'm here to relieve you—that's not okay?"

"Of course not!"

Honggu's hateful eyes stared at Xiang Yeqi viciously, as if she was dealing with enemies for several generations, "The academy has rules first, no matter what the reason, you can't leave your residence at night, and you must deal with it according to the rules of the academy!" ”
