Bai Yi squatted down beside Bai Ling, he looked at Bai Ling's eyes, and said with a little worry, "What's wrong with you, you've been very worried for the past two days, what's wrong?" ”

Bai Ling shook his head.

After a while, seeing that Bai Yi was squatting next to him and had no intention of leaving, Bai Ling held his forehead and whispered, "...... I am hungry. ”

Bai Yi sighed, "Then you go and change a pair of shoes to go out, let's not do it now, go out to eat at noon." ”

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the heaviest time of the day.

Jia Yuchun's body was placed at the gate of the Shen Criminal Division, and Huang Chongde hurried over, followed by four or five followers.

As soon as they saw that it was Huang Chongde, everyone knew that today's incident was not trivial, because Huang Chongde was sometimes not only the eyes of the saint, but he could almost represent the will of Emperor Jianxi sometimes.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that the matter at hand would be seen to be the slightest mistake.

"Father-in-law Huang," the big eunuch on duty today of the Shen Penal Division trotted out to greet him with his clothes on his hand, "You can count it, it's here-"

"Needless to say," Huang Chongde said in a low voice, "Yuan Zhen has already gone through the matter in detail in front of the emperor. ”

"Yes, yes," the man nodded repeatedly, "that father-in-law is ...... now."

Huang Chongde's eyes fell on Jia Yuchun's body not far away, and he walked a few steps closer slowly, looking at Jia Yuchun's eyes that were still unwilling to die.

Seeing Huang Chongde silently looking at the corpse of Father-in-law Jia, the eunuch on duty had a little pity on his face, "When we went down, people were already -"

Huang Chongde shook his head and said softly, "I heard Yuan Zhen say that when Jia Yuchun came today, he brought a holy edict?" ”

"Yes, otherwise the slave and maid would not be able to let people in casually."

"Where's the stuff?"

The eunuch hurriedly turned around, ran quickly into the office of the Shen Penal Division, and ran out at a high speed, holding a roll of yellow cloth in both hands.

Huang Chongde took it, opened it in the daylight and looked at it, the handwriting inside was too familiar to him - it was written by Jia Yuchun in imitation of his notes, and the lower left corner of the handwritten edict was also stamped with a privately engraved seal.

He read it word for word.

The eunuch of the Prudential Criminal Division on the side really couldn't understand Huang Chongde's face at the moment. This old man has been with Emperor Jianxi for many years, and he has long practiced the same unfathomable skills as the emperor.

I saw that Huang Chongde's heart fluctuated a little, and finally glanced at Jia Yuchun on the ground.

“…… Is Lin still in the dungeon? ”

"Back to Huang Gonggong, here."

"Lead me," Huang Chongde said lightly, "There are a few words for her to ask." ”

The palace people of the Shen Criminal Division couldn't help but bow their heads, the rules in the palace are like this.

The bigger the event, the more impassive it is

……

Twilight.

Considering that Bai Ling's spirit has not been very good recently, Bai Yi went home half an hour early in the afternoon to cook. Bai Ling slept at home all afternoon, and after waking up, he moved a chair and sat in the yard to read, and occasionally picked up Bai Yi's words and chatted a sentence or two.

Bai Yi, who was in the kitchen, looked up from time to time, and could see Bai Ling thoughtfully facing the book, as if he hadn't turned the page for a long time.

In the evening, Bai Shijun also returned.

Just as the family of three had set up their meal to eat, a succession of torches rushed into the outside of the alley - this kind of formation was already a bit strange to the current Bai family.

There was a hurried slamming of the door outside.

Bai Ling quietly put down his chopsticks and looked at where the sound came from.

"Don't worry, I'll open the door."

Bai Yi stood up and walked through the courtyard, only to open the latch, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and his whole person was knocked back several steps one after another.

A group of palace people from the inner court poured into the courtyard of the Bai family, and before he could speak, the courtyard was already surrounded by water.

"Doctor Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time." At the gate of the courtyard, Yuan Zhen, who had a gloomy face, stood there, with his usual procrastination, looking at Bai Yi with obvious hostility.

Bai Yi patted the place where he was hit just now, "It turned out to be Gonggong Yuan." ”

Yuan Zhen smiled, "What about the Bai Si Yao Man?" ”

Bai Yi frowned, feeling a little bad in his heart, but in the next moment, Bai Ling's voice had come from behind him.

"Is Gonggong Yuan coming to me tonight?"

"Yes," Yuan Zhen smiled horribly, and Sen Ran said, "Between midnight and noon this morning, where is the Bai Si Yao people?" ”

"My sister, she-"

"I didn't ask you."

Yuan Zhen waved his hand lightly, and several brocade guards behind him stepped forward to drag Bai Yi aside and gag his mouth.

This action was so careless, and it was so fast, Bai Yi and Bai Shijun only felt frightened in their hearts - this

Bai Ling stepped forward and replied in a positive voice, "I have been at home all day today. ”

Yuan Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a little doubt, "Who can testify?" ”

“…… I'm alone at home," Bai Ling replied, and she looked at the Jinyi Guards not far away, as if she remembered something, "The Jinyi Guards at the entrance of the alley have been watching all day, and they know best. ”

A moment of silence.

Only the sound of burning torches and the rustling of the eunuchs on the side recording the questioning.

Everything that happened here, every word that people had ever said, would be transmitted back to the Heart Cultivation Hall after a while, reaching the ears of the enraged Emperor Jianxi.

Yuan Zhen snorted, "Even they can stop Si Yao's whereabouts?" What about the Fourteenth Master? ”

Bai Ling's face also became not very good-looking, she stared at Yuan Zhen, with a slight annoyance in her voice, "Fourteen has been in the palace all day today to run errands for the Queen Mother, and she hasn't come back yet." What exactly does Gonggong Yuan want to say? Did I tell Fourteen to sneak me somewhere I shouldn't go? ”

"Then only you know for yourself." Yuan Zhen waved his hand, "Search." ”

The palace people who were still standing in the courtyard moved in an instant, they rushed into the old house of the Bai family, and began to rudely climb over the walls and overturn the cabinets.

Living room, bedroom, kitchen...... Everywhere they went, the dishes were shattered, all the clothes and bedding in the cupboards were thrown to the ground, and even the bed boards were lifted and stood by the wall.

"You ...... What are you looking for? Bai Shijun, who was standing on the side, looked distressed and watched his cabinet of books being discarded on the ground at random, "Don't mess around like this-"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden shout came from the room, "Found it!" ”

A palace man walked out quickly and knelt in front of Yuan Zhen, his hands held high, holding a delicate golden step in the palms of his hands.

Yuan Zhen looked stunned for a moment, and only reached out for a while to pick up the step.

He pinched the end of the swaying step and turned to look at Bai Ling, "What is this?" ”

Bai Ling's eyes were slightly cold, she glanced at Jin Buyao, and her voice suddenly became a little excited, "Father-in-law Yuan doesn't know what this is, weren't you also in Yinfeng Garden that night?" This is the golden hairpin that little girl exchanged for her life, I have always taken it with me, is there any problem!? ”
