Chapter 162: Overnight

Luoxian County Ya.

In the dimly lit cell, there was an old smell of iron, mixed with the smell of clammy and mildew, like a cave underground.

"Even if you beat me to death, it's still the same sentence, Li's official is right, but I sit upright, I'm not afraid of you framing, I didn't touch the silver for disaster relief and was captured by you, where can I be greedy for ink?"

The person who was tied to the shelf was extremely arrogant, looking at the Seventh Highness who was already sitting impatiently a few meters away, and his words were out of order.

Everything requires evidence, the third child taught him, even if it is a big thing without evidence, it is just a suspicion, and they can't die if they can't be convicted!

"Lord Li's words are serious, where would anyone lynch their parents and children in this county? They are all from the border army who came back to serve as a guard battalion, and there are many rough people who have never read, so it is inevitable that there will be places where Lord Li is neglected......"

Xiao Jin played with the incense bag in his hand and said casually.

The third brother handed over the person to him, just because he wanted two results, either to try the case, or to let people think that they had tried the case!

As for the side matters, he doesn't need to worry about it, some people are in a hurry, and this anxiety is easy to show his feet, and when the time comes, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Since His Royal Highness the Seventh has said this, presumably the people under his command will not dare to make a mistake, but there is no evidence, and it is not a way for you to detain us. Now that the disaster relief is at a critical juncture, if we are released, our brothers will definitely do their best to overcome the merits, and cooperate with the adults to provide disaster relief, what do you think? ”

Lord Li felt that Xiao Jin's attitude seemed to be discussed, so he licked his face and said shamelessly.

I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has exchanged 300,000 taels of silver for materials and distributed them to various states and counties, and the difficulty of implementation is comparable to the implementation of the new policy, and they can't mobilize the officials of this Luo County, just rely on those few people, not to mention that it can be sent before the first snow in winter, even if it is spring, it may not be finished!

"Hmm...... Lord Li is very familiar with the situation in this Luo County. ”

Xiao Jin squinted, not at all surprised that this Lord Li would have such disgusting words and deeds.

The people of the green forest rivers and lakes who were born as bandits, even if they spent a lot of money to wash and remake, it is not as difficult as imagined to find out their details, besides, these people have repeatedly committed crimes and have no intention of washing their hands, so they can't do it if they want to open their eyes and close their eyes!

"That's that! Li has been in Luo County for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the surrounding counties, besides, the county magistrate of Luohe County next to him is also my distant brother, so let's discuss something! ”

Seeing that he seemed to be showing signs of relenting, Li Xian Ling immediately bargained.

Since the King of Qin sent a message to put their brother in prison three days ago, in addition to the normal three meals a day, there is no side matter, and even there are several kinds of meat every day, if they are not in the Luoxian County Office, the officials in charge of them are also familiar, I am afraid that they will think that this is a fake prison cell!

"Oh? Is the Luohe County Commander and Lord Li distant cousins? Your Li family is really talented! ”

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows, his expression of surprise overflowing.

More than ten years ago, the four King Kongs who shocked the outside world actually washed their hands in a golden basin and took most of the money they had accumulated in their lives to donate to the officials.

If it weren't for the shadow guard of the third brother before coming out this time, I am afraid that I would really miss these wonderful little people!

"His Royal Highness the Seventh has won the prize, the prize! Li's younger brother has a different surname than me, but the relationship is very close, they have always listened to my eldest brother, and they are also happy to do things, if His Royal Highness the Seventh can forgive him, I will serve you before and after the saddle! ”

Li Xian Ling said triumphantly, and his wishful thinking was loud.

Rao is a patrol lord who is a clean official again, and when he really does his work, he knows the importance of the people below, and with a few guards under them, it can't be done at all!

"Hmm...... That's a good idea! Merely...... You must have heard of my third brother's temperament, instead of touching his moldy head, it is better to do things well and take action to invite merit more realistically! ”

His Royal Highness the Seventh smiled mysteriously, and stopped talking.

The most effective way to deal with fools is to behave like them to think that there is a chance to take advantage of it!

Lord Li couldn't help but glance at the county man next to him, and when he saw him winking at himself, he knew that he also thought this method was feasible, so he showed a reassuring smile, "What does His Highness ......the Seventh Highness mean when he does things well?"

"Assist in finding out the real culprit of the silver theft, as long as you find out the mastermind behind the scenes, it can be regarded as a meritorious service, and this time the case of embezzlement of ink and silver money has been written off, maybe it will be promoted and knighted in the future?"

His Royal Highness said it lightly, but it was a great temptation for those who were locked up in prison.

The case of greedy ink disaster silver said that the stool is big and the urine is small, everything is decided by the king of Qin, as long as they have merit in solving the case, they can directly offset the merit, not to mention the stubble of the greedy ink disaster silver......

All told, it doesn't seem like a loss!

"What His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness said is extremely true, what do you need to do in a lowly position, you can tell it, and the lowly position will definitely die in the ground!"

Lord Li retracted his gaze and said ruthlessly.

The case of the theft of disaster relief silver is under investigation, Lord Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, instead of this, why not give those people out, with disaster relief silver, where will the patrol pay attention to its provenance?

"Well, it's a big dealer, so let's wait."

His Royal Highness Yawned, patted the folds on the hem of his clothes, and got up to leave.

Outside the cell, the sun was setting.

Xiao Liuli squatted on the wall and threw stones, playing in the pond in the opposite yard, and when she saw Xiao Jin coming out, she stood up suddenly.

"Brother Seven, you're too slow! I'm almost drying out of the sun when I'm squatting here! ”

The girl complained dissatisfiedly, Xu squatted for too long, and just stood up and smashed straight to the ground.

"Beware!"

Xiao Jin's feet moved, and he stepped forward to catch Xiao Liuli, who fell from all fours, but his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Oops, I'm scared to death......"

Xiao Liuli made a frightened look, patted her chest and gasped, but found that her seventh brother's face was a little ugly, as if someone had cheated on the silver.

"Come down! You are like a stone falling from the sky, almost smashing me directly to heaven! ”

Xiao Jin sighed, this girl has loved to play like this since she was a child, and now she is fifteen years old, and she still doesn't grow up like this, which is really worry-free.

"Am I that heavy? I only have ......"

"Ahem!"

Xiao Liuli was about to refute, but was suddenly interrupted by a cough, and turned her head to scold someone for being so short-sighted, when she suddenly saw Xiao Chen leading a large group of people over, and it was the county lord of Tianqing who reminded her, and she was speechless.

"Uh......"

"Still not down?"

Xiao Jin pursed her lips, wanting to throw her directly to the ground but couldn't bear it, and her face was rarely a little embarrassed.

"Okay!"

Xiao Liuli blinked, turned around and jumped to the ground, and as soon as she turned around, she slipped to Nan Jinyu's side to avoid everyone's different eyes.

"How's it going?"

Xiao Chen was already surprised by their behavior, and asked Xiao Jin directly.

"The bait is hooked, and it is waiting to be sent to the mouth of the big fish."

Xiao Jin bent the corners of her lower lip slightly, and how could she feel that her smiling appearance was not serious.

"In this way, you will explain the specific matters to the prince of Yongning, and he will take over the rest of the matter."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he planned to pull Nan Jinyu back, not caring about the host and guest at all.

Ji Lingfeng's thoughts couldn't be more obvious, if he gave him a little more eyes, wouldn't Ming'er be able to open a dyeing workshop? As for Nan Jinchen, raise it, it's just a matter of eating for multiple people, and he won't be able to afford it!

"This ...... Third brother, the matter is handed over to the Hou Shizi of Yongning, so what should I do? ”

Xiao Jin was a little displeased, after all, he had always done this work, and he suddenly handed it over at this time, and he felt a little disappointed.

"You and King Xian went to several surrounding counties to be responsible for escorting the materials and ensuring that the materials were distributed in a timely manner, and there will be many follow-up things, and they will not be idle."

Xiao Chen glanced at him, knowing that this kid was not very satisfied, but compared to the escort of materials, the work of investigating the case was obviously more dangerous and difficult.

"Huh? Isn't that very bitter and tiring? Oops, my body is ......."

"Huh? If you don't want to go, Ming'er will let you and Liuli go back! ”

Before Xiao Jin could wail and express his dissatisfaction, he was scolded back by Xiao Chen, and nodded in resignation.

"Don't! Third brother, you are my own brother! Can't I go? ”

Xiao Jin sighed, turned his gaze to Ji Lingfeng, who was on the side with a normal face, and said, "The prince of Yongning Hou will come with me, and I will talk to you carefully." ”

"Hey, what about me......"

Xiao Liuli panicked, and the hand that was tugging on Nan Jinyu's sleeve finally let go, and she was embarrassed to keep up.

"What are you? As the guard of the main hall, he naturally followed. Xiao Jin knocked her on the head and pulled her away. Fat Cat Literature Network

The third brother just wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the stupid girl who was the rival in love, didn't you see it? What a fuss she's making here!

"All sorts of things are done?"

Nan Jinyu was surprised by Xiao Chen's efficiency, and was also a little surprised by Ji Lingfeng's silence of the arsonist.

For some reason, she always felt that Ji Lingfeng was more mature than before, and she was no longer the naΓ―ve and self-centered teenager.

"Hmmm......"

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, turned to Nan Jinchen, who was eating melons and watching the drama behind, and said, "There is a worry-relieving spring three hundred miles west of Luoxian, and it is good for you to go to the nearby villa to recuperate." ”

"Is it the famous sword villa that is the first village in the world? Can I go? ”

Nan Jinchen's eyes lit up with excitement when he heard this, obviously he had forgotten all about Nan Jinyu being born in the tiger's mouth!

"The owner and I are old acquaintances, and the night charm will send you over, just stay and don't worry about it."

Xiao Chen said patiently, his attitude towards Nan Jinchen was much kinder than that towards His Royal Highness the Seventh, which made Nan Jinchen get goosebumps one after another.

Oh, my God! Help me! He had known His Royal Highness King Qin for more than ten years, and he had never seen such a good-tempered King Qin, let alone smiled at him!

"Yes! Thank you, His Royal Highness King Qin, for taking care of you! ”

Nan Jinchen agreed happily, after all, it is known as the first village in the world's martial arts, and people who practice martial arts are like a place to find out!

Although Nan Jinyu didn't understand why he insisted on sending Jinchen away to recuperate, she vaguely felt that something big seemed to be happening here, and it was obviously better for them not to stay together......

There was no imaginary reception banquet, and everyone was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, and even the meal was dealt with casually in the dining room of the post station.

Because Tsing Yi and Yebai didn't come back, Nan Jinyu had to go to the kitchen to get the food box in person, and Xiao Chen, the demon, lay on the bed and didn't move, saying that he was tired......

"God, Xiao Yu Gongzi?"

The sound of a spring breeze came from behind, and it seemed even more incompatible with this bleak late autumn.

"What's the matter with the son?"

Nan Jinyu turned her face, her eyebrows were faint, fortunately, the face she was wearing at this time was not entirely her own, so the embarrassment was embarrassing, and it would not be too much.

"I heard...... A few days ago, I met robbers in the mountains, and Xiao Yu Gongzi cut down three people with a sword, but were you injured? ”

Ji Lingfeng pursed his lips, although the two kept a safe distance, his concerned eyes couldn't hide it.

"No," Nan Jinyu was a little surprised, he stopped himself and wanted to ask this, but it was better than everyone's embarrassment, so he said, "Thank you Shizi for your concern." ”

The estranged attitude is already obvious, it's just like this between them, nodding friends are not as good as water, and talking to him doesn't mean that she forgives this guy for messing with her marriage before, it's just that some things don't have to be said too clearly, and everyone's faces can't get over it......

"Haven't you been hurt? I heard that the three of them are masters of foreign household knives, and if Xiao Yu Gongzi is injured, he needs to be treated as soon as possible, so he must not delay. ”

Ji Lingfeng wanted to speak and stopped, he still couldn't be sure what kind of mentality Xiao Chen had towards her, he was afraid that she would be confused and go crazy and not know it!

"I also know a little bit about medical skills, and I can still tell whether I am injured or not, and the son of the world is too worried."

Nan Jinyu was a little displeased, but she didn't bother to argue with him.

In Ji Lingfeng's view, Xiao Chen is not her lover, and she Nan Jinyu is only worthy of being an ornament in the town's house, dealing with those aunts and aunts of Yingying Yanyan all day long, and being a well-behaved and sensible lady of the Zongfu, that is her best destination.

As everyone knows, those things they value are worthless in her eyes, and he won't even understand what she wants......

"I wish I had thought too much! I hope that Xiao Yu Gongzi will take care of you and reunite in Yanjing in the future. ”

Ji Lingfeng was not annoyed by her tough attitude, but laughed, his face was like a crown and a smile was not a lie, and he saw that the guards in the hall were all straight-eyed.

It's amazing, this Yongning Hou Shizi and His Royal Highness the King of Qin not only robbed women, but did they want to fight for the first place in front of each other?

Tut-tut! These two people love and kill each other so much, isn't it because they love and want to destroy the person they care about the most?

"Well, the prince should also take care."

Nan Jinyu pursed her lips, and her polite words were particularly blunt.

I didn't want to say anything more to him, but I had already said so many words unconsciously, and when I turned around, I saw Xiao Chen standing on the porch downstairs, looking away with his eyes, but that look, it was like a posture of grabbing his wife and stealing his former lover, which made people a little speechless.

When Nan Jinyu took the food box and went upstairs, the figure standing at the door was gone, and when she pushed the door in, the window was wide open, and the wind was blowing in, blowing people's heads buzzing.

"Is Your Highness still sleepy? Do you want to eat first? ”

Nan Jinyu glanced at the person lying on the couch, and sighed slightly in her heart.

This guy is really going back to life!

Pretending to be unwell and unwilling to go downstairs to eat, it was to avoid Ji Lingfeng and not want people to come to the door directly. He'd be fine, pretending to be sleepy and lying down like this, was he protesting that she had taken care of that arsonist?

"No, you don't."

Xiao Chen was facing the wall, and his muffled voice was very unpleasant to listen to, and he was like a child.

"Do you want to sleep a little bit, then?"

Nan Jinyu held her chin and said, feeling angry and funny when she saw this.

"Don't sleep."

The silver figure did not move, but his tight back betrayed him in a very bad mood at the moment.

"Is it uncomfortable to lie down?"

Nan Jinyu shook her head and tiptoed to the couch, thinking about how to coax the big boy, although she didn't feel that she was wrong.

"Nope."

It's still a blunt rejection, and an attitude that doesn't want to talk to you at all.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The corners of Nan Jinyu's mouth twitched, if it was someone else, she would have turned around and left, what do you like, but this person is Xiao Chen, not to mention that she can't give up her heart, she is reluctant to say even a heavy word.

Seeing that there was no sound behind him, the irritability and uneasiness in Xiao Chen's heart became more and more intense.

In his previous life, the prince of the Marquis of Yongning married the youngest daughter of the Lin family, inherited the title of Marquis of Yongning, and gave birth to a bunch of babies, where is there anything wrong with him?

But what about this life?

The youngest daughter of the Lin family was frail and sickly and died early!

"Hey......"

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh, he knew that he shouldn't have shown mercy to his subordinates, and killed him directly, now it's okay, many rivals in love, but his little fox still treats him well, what is this called!

Nan Jinyu was completely speechless, what did this master think about crying when he was wronged?

Obviously, she is the one who needs to be protected, but at this time, she felt distressed, so she simply kicked off her shoes and went to the couch and hugged him from behind.

"Your Highness, is this sick? What's uncomfortable? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xiao Chen's straight back was obviously stiff, and he resisted the urge to fight back, but he didn't move, and even closed his eyes.

"Are you asleep?"

Nan Jinyu raised her eyebrows, pretending to be panicked: "What should I do if I am so sick?" I'd better go get a doctor! I heard Jin Chen say that the doctor of Sui Jun who raised his eyebrows came ......"

"You dare!"

The man who pretended to be asleep turned his head suddenly, his narrow eyes narrowed, but he happened to bump into Nan Jinyu's teasing smile, and when he saw him turn around, he rubbed it into his arms.

"I don't dare, I'm afraid that some people will be jealous and drown the station."

Nan Jinyu shook his head, raised his hand and took off the crown of his hair, letting the black hair fall down and cover the light above his head.

"If you deliberately anger me like this, you won't be afraid ......"

"I'm afraid, so you also have to know that people can't run if they say two words, I have long legs."

Nan Jinyu said vaguely, but she didn't think how much this macho vinegar essence could change.

Getting along is a run-in, and trust is not achieved overnight.
