Rong Che's gaze swept over Yao Yun's eyes that seemed to be a little panicked, and said to Cai Meng: "Before the matter is clarified, please also ask Lord Cai to be optimistic about these relevant people." Otherwise, if there is any accident and the suspect escapes, it will be a disadvantage for Lord Cai. ”

When Cai Meng heard Rong Che's words, he naturally knew the meaning of Rong Che's words, and he bowed his head and said, "The lower officials know." ”

Rong Che walked past Yao Yun and Cai Meng with Ji Yanning in his arms, and walked straight out of the courtyard.

Yao Yun stood in place, looked at Cai Meng, and said, "Lord Cai......"

Cai Meng said: "It's okay, you are not afraid of shadows, as long as you haven't committed anything, you are not afraid of any trouble, just follow the instructions of the prince to check it routinely." ”

Yao Yun explained: "Lord Cai, I don't know anything about this Zhuangzi, and I don't know what King Xuan wants to investigate, and I hope Lord Cai will give me a reminder." ”

Cai Meng glanced at Yao Yun, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, wait until everything is clear, this official has never been a person who doesn't talk about cleaning up." ”

It's just that it is reasonable, it is also on the basis of keeping his official position, if Yao Yun really provokes King Xuan, how can he be the opponent of King Xuan with his small prefect, if he goes against King Xuan, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

He's not stupid enough to be that stupid.

Yao Yun looked at Cai Meng's alienated appearance, how could he not know what he was thinking.

He turned his head to look and saw that King Xuan's guards were still digging the mound, and soon dug up a place that resembled a tomb, and then carefully took out an urn box covered with charms.

When Ji Yanning woke up, he only felt that his head was still a little dizzy.

She opened her eyes and saw that she was still lying in the inn room, and was about to open her mouth to call for pearls, but she found that there seemed to be someone next to her bed.

She glanced down and saw Rong Che asleep by his bedside.

Looking at his appearance, he was a little tired.

Ji Yanning looked outside, the candle was bright, it should be night now.

She gently pushed Rong Che, who was sleeping with her hand, and called softly: "Ah Che." ”

Hearing the movement, Rong Che, who was not sleeping deeply, opened his eyes and saw Ji Yanning, who had already opened his eyes, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes smiled: "You finally woke up." ”

Ji Yanning frowned slightly: "How long have I been asleep?"

Rong Che said: "It's been two days and two nights. ”

Ji Yanning lowered her eyes, she didn't know why she suddenly became like this.

I also made complete preparations unexpectedly, and Xiao Shaobei also used the Buddhist beads she gave her, but she still fainted.

Looking at Ji Yanning's lonely expression, Rong Che reached out and touched her face, and chuckled, "It's okay, it'll be fine." ”

Ji Yanning's brain was still a little dizzy, she looked at Rong Che and said, "Seeing that it's not dawn outside, you can go back and sleep for a while." ”

It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Rong Che hugged her waist and immediately squeezed into her bed.

He covered the quilt, hugged Ji Yanning tightly, and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, I'll accompany you." ”

Seeing that Rong Che was really a little sleepy, Ji Yanning didn't say anything more.

Being held by Rong Che like this, she felt a lot more relieved, and fell asleep groggily again.

She dreamed again.

However, it is no longer a dream about the six-sided lantern, but a return to the time of the previous life, and a dream of her family.

Her grandfather, father, mother, brother, maternal grandfather and uncles.

There is no intrigue, no conspiracy and calculation, and everyone is happy.

When he woke up, the sunlight fell into the room through the window, so dazzling that Ji Yanning's eyes narrowed slightly.

She felt a little lost in her heart, and it turned out that those warm scenes could only be felt in dreams.

Ji Yanning moved slightly, feeling that there was no one next to his bed, as if seeing Rong Che yesterday was also a dream.

"Pearls. Ji Yanning spoke.

Pearl was tidying up things at the table, and when she heard Ji Yanning's words, she immediately put down the work she was doing and hurriedly came to the bedside.

"Miss, you're awake!" Pearl breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Yanning smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

Pearl nodded and said, "The slave maid will serve the young lady to wash first, and then prepare some medicinal food." ”

Ji Yanning nodded, and had no objection to the pearl's approach.

She got up slowly, and although her body was a little weak, it was not weak enough to go to the ground.

Recalling what happened before he fainted, Ji Yanning only felt strange.

She had heard what seemed to be a sound in the well, and that sound was similar to the voice of the woman she had heard in her dream.

Who the hell is it?

Pearl quickly waited for Ji Yanning to wash up, and then served the medicinal food.

Ji Yanning had a bad appetite, so he could only eat something light and nourishing his body, and after a few bites, he stopped.

She looked at Pearl and asked, "By the way, where did the prince go?"

Pearl replied truthfully: "The prince has gone to the yamen." ”

Ji Yanning was a little strange, what was Rong Che going to do in such a dignified manner?

Pearl saw the doubt in Ji Yanning's eyes, and explained to her: "Miss doesn't know, in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, the bones of many women were found, and they were all thrown into the well. The bones were all young girls of about fifteen or sixteen years old. ”

When Ji Yanning heard Pearl's words, she looked up at her with some surprise: "What's the matter?"

Pearl said: "The slave doesn't know what's going on, and the case is still being investigated." However, he said that those women all died within the past two years, which means that they must have nothing to do with the Zhuangzi. ”

Ji Yanning's eyes sank, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

A lot of women's bones were found in Zhuangzi?

In other words, there were indeed people who died in the well.

But how could she have heard the woman's cries for help?

Ji Yanning lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, his eyes were a little gloomy, could it be because he had also died, and his bones were buried in a place far away from them, so he could hear the cry for help?

She didn't understand, because it was too weird for her to explain.

Even so, why did I dream of lanterns so often before?

Lanterns, bones, women.

These things dangled in Ji Yanning's mind, and she only felt a little headache when she thought about it.

Ji Yanning suddenly thought of the six-sided lanterns he saw on the Zhuangzi, except for the paper that had not been pasted on, the others were all in good condition.

She had seen a complete six-sided lantern, and the paper was so well pasted that it didn't look like a regular piece of paper, but rather like a ...... Human skin!

A thought flashed through Ji Yanning's mind, and she suddenly came to her senses.

Then the stomach turned upside down.

"Gross-"

Ji Yanning only felt disgusted and wanted to vomit.

She got up and threw up into the spittoon, just retching because she had slept too long and was too weak.

Seeing Ji Yanning like this, Pearl hurriedly stepped forward to help her pat her on the back.

Pearl asked with concern, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Yanning waved his hand and relieved himself for a while, only then did he feel less uncomfortable.

But when he thought that the six lanterns were most likely human skin lanterns, Ji Yanning felt disgusted.

She finally thought of why the shopkeeper in the lantern shop kept staring at herself with that kind of eyes, not to covet beauty, but to fall in love with her skin.

Her hands clenched, and her eyes sharpened.

didn't have the heart to take any more medicinal food, Ji Yanning rubbed his head helplessly with his hand, only feeling in a bad mood.

Pearl was worried: "Miss, are you really okay?"

Ji Yanning slowly returned to the bed and said, "It's okay, I can't eat the medicinal food, just get some clear soup." ”

Pearl nodded and went down to prepare.

Ji Yanning called softly: "Yuan Wu." ”

Yuan Wu heard Ji Yanning's voice, walked in from outside, and saluted Ji Yanning, "What do you have to say, Miss?"

Ji Yanning said: "Tell me what happened in Zhuangzi as it is." ”

Yuan Wu bowed his head, but told everything one by one.

After the guards dug up Ying Caiwei's bones that day, they explored the well according to King Xuan's instructions, and later found that there were more than a dozen female corpses in the dry well.

Yao Yun has been arguing that he has nothing to do with him.

However, after a preliminary examination, the result was that the female corpses had died in the past one or two years, so the suspect pointed to Yao Yun, the current owner of Zhuangzi.

Although Yao Yun has always emphasized that he has nothing to do with him, the facts are in front of him, and these dead bodies must have nothing to do with him, so Cai Meng immediately detained the person, and the others on Zhuangzi were all escorted back to the yamen for interrogation.

Later, one of the subordinates admitted to killing someone, and said that he had nothing to do with other people, and that all the people were his own or something, and then he hit the wall and died.

But some people came out to apologize, and of course others were not stupid, and they all blamed the matter on the person who was already dead.

Rong Che naturally wouldn't believe such a trick, so he tortured them and wanted them to spit out the truth.

As a result, just last night, someone robbed the prison and robbed Yao Yun.

When those subordinates saw that Yao Yun was rescued, they pushed everything onto Yao Yun, saying that everything was instructed by Yao Yun alone, and they just followed orders.

Cai Meng couldn't find a clue during the interrogation, not to mention that Yao Yun was robbed, he knew that he was in trouble, so he called Rong Che over early in the morning.

Now that this case has been spread in Liangzhou City, even if Rong Che wants to hide his identity, it probably won't work.

After listening to Yuan Wu's words, Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly.

"Let someone pass the word to Rong Che and arrest the shopkeeper of Yao Ji's shop. Ji Yanning said, "He should know a lot of things." ”
