The steward brought a new stack of paper from the back hall and said: "This time it is indeed the steward's negligence, the life record just now has been confirmed to be forged by the deceased's accomplice, and his accomplice has no life record, it is determined that he is an assassin, and he has just confessed his guilt and been punished, this is his crime!"

"Since the two of them killed the assassins, the steward is now revising the verdict, and the two are not guilty, and they can leave the yamen now!"

Before he could finish speaking, he made a gesture to the officers on either side.

The officers on both sides immediately rushed up and asked them to come out of the yamen, saying that they were invited, which was tantamount to a boom.

He couldn't wait for the two of them to leave!

Cao Zhijin couldn't figure it out now.

"It's very simple, it's the person who reported the official who repented!" Phi Xing suddenly spoke.

Cao Zhijin was even more puzzled: "They have obviously put us to death, why do they have to bother to push out one person to rescue us?"

"You know, it's easy for them to kill us, but if we die, we'll cause them endless trouble!"

"Cases in Uptown, large and small, are reviewed by special officials every year. As long as we are condemned, there will be guilt, which means that the guilt will be turned over. ”

Cao Zhijin said puzzledly: "But there is no loophole in the crime."

"Only the convicted person cares about whether there are loopholes in the crime, and the person behind the scenes only cares about whether there are traces of the things he wants to hide, especially the kind of traces that can never be erased!" Phi Xing explained.

Cao Zhijin seems to understand a little!

Once they are convicted, that indictment will forever be a vestige of those behind it! Besides, along with the crime, there is also the life record of the assassin, if someone follows the life record of the assassin to find clues, and touches the melon in Shunteng, the person behind the scenes will be exposed to the sun!

Now that the steward has acquitted them, the guilt and the Assassin's life record can be destroyed as a matter of course, and as for the Assassin's accomplice's confession, no one will care about the confession of the Assassin who has no life record!

Then today's case will not be remembered, and today's mistakes can be perfectly saved!

Wait, why did she say it was a mistake?

"It's really a mistake to report to the official!" As if guessing what Cao Zhijin was thinking, Phi Xing spoke.

Cao Zhijin looked at him and said: "This is what I can't figure out, since the people behind the scenes know that reporting to the official is a wrong move, why do they still report to the official, is it impulsive and regretful?"

"It's very simple, because it's not the people behind the scenes!"

"What?" Cao Zhijin was shocked.

Could it be that a third party is also involved in this matter?

As soon as Pi Xing saw her, he knew what she was thinking, and corrected her thinking and said: "It's not as complicated as you think, it's just that not every master's subordinates are clear about the master's mind, and there are always a few fools who think they are smart!"

What does he mean is that the reporter is the subordinate of the person behind the scenes, and the accomplice who died?

Cao Zhijin suddenly felt a chill and looked at Phi Xing sympathetically.

"What are you looking at me for?" Phi Xing gave her a blank look.

Cao Zhijin sighed: "Fortunately, you have escaped from the sea of suffering!"

"Stupid!" Phi Xing looked at her and shook his head, striding forward, leaving her behind.

"Wait for me, I still have questions to ask!" Cao Zhijin caught up, and before he could take two steps, Phi Xing walked back by himself.

He looked at her and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Cao Zhijin looked at him, as if every time he would only answer her questions so impatiently.

Cao Zhijin knew that all this was to prepare her for entering the Chen Palace.

She couldn't help but have a thought in her mind,—— if she became a teacher, she must be a very good teacher!

Cao Zhijin looked at him and asked, "When you were at the inn, you signaled that I had a good show, which means that you already knew that things would turn out like this, how did you know?"

Pi Xing replied coldly: "I've seen too many things like this!"

"The one who can drive the Shangcheng to serve the affairs blatantly shows that he has a lot of power, but the more power he has, the more afraid he is of his colleagues holding his handle, which of the courtiers in Shangcheng is vegetarian? So the more scared he is, the sooner he will put this murder case down, and the more exciting the play will naturally be! ”

"You didn't see the act of slapping yourself in the face just now, how funny!"

Cao Zhijin smiled, but immediately became worried: "Since the people behind the scenes are so afraid of leaving evidence, they will definitely not let go of Wen Zhi easily!"

"Phi Xing, do you still have any money?" Cao Zhijin winked at him and looked at him with a gentle smile.

Pi Xing looked at her with disgust: "What are you doing, smiling with a deceitful face?"

Cao Zhijin patted the money bag on his body and said: "I don't have any money anymore, Xiaomei just took all his jewelry away and replaced it with a sword, and now the three of us are poor and white, do we still have money to pay for the house?"

Pi Xing looked at her as a matter of course and said, "You are a girl, shouldn't you find a way to do this kind of thing?"

"That's what you said!" Cao Zhijin clapped his hands and said, "I have a good place to go, as long as you cook for the master's house, you can live!" ”

Phi Xing didn't want to refuse: "I don't cook for others!"

Cao Zhijin said angrily: "Haven't you been cooking for me?"

"That's you, I'll only cook for you!" He replied as a matter of course.

Cao Zhijin hadn't recovered from his words, only to see Pi Xing looking at her with clear cold eyes, and had already guessed what she was thinking in her heart.

"Don't be scheming in front of me, I still taught you these two skills! Don't you just want me to protect Wenzhi? ”

"You know all this?" Cao Zhijin seemed to be playful when he heard his tone, and said in a relaxed tone with slight surprise.

Pi Xing snorted coldly: "I said a long time ago that you are too easy to be soft-hearted, and if you are not careful, this will become the most obvious weakness of your opponent attacking you!"

"You think you owe Wen Zhi the identity of Wen Zhi's sister Wen Jin to enter the Chen Palace, so you want to protect him!"

Cao Zhijin was noncommittal.

"Forget it!" Phi Xing suddenly sighed.

"Forget it?" Cao Zhijin asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'forget it'?" ”

Phi Xing looked at her and replied, "I can protect Wen Zhi for you, but I have one condition!"

"You say!" Cao Zhijin said happily.

Pi Xing said coldly: "Wait for you to gain a firm foothold in the Chenwang Mansion and find a way to recommend me to it!"

Cao Zhijin looked at him vigilantly and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Although Phi Xing ostensibly followed her because he was not worried about her, Cao Zhijin always had a feeling that Phi Xing had his own purpose.

"Will you say yes?" Pi Xing didn't bother to explain to her at all, and asked her urgently.

Cao Zhijin looked at him for a while, shook his head and said, "If you want to seek revenge on King Chen, I won't agree!"
