Yuan Zhen dusted off the cat fur on his body, "Whatever, let's find your book." ”

"Eh—I'm so grumpy," Qiu Shi was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves on the spot, stood on the chair and scolded, "I said, why do you say things like you eat and don't all day long, ah?" You don't know what to do—"

Yuan Zhen suddenly frowned, and made a "stop" gesture to Qiu Shi in a matter-of-fact manner.

Qiu Shi was stunned and immediately silenced.

Yuan Zhen took a few steps to the left and a few steps to the right in the room, bending over and tiptoeing again.

This battle made Qiu Shi a little nervous, and he couldn't help but whisper in annoyance, "What's the smell of your dog nose again?" ”

"Tsk...... Somehow, something's burnt. ”

Yuan Zhen dropped this sentence to himself, then shook his head and walked out of the door alone.

As soon as Yuan Zhen left, Qiu Shi suddenly became concerned - on weekdays, everyone would set up a small stove in their yard to cook tea and hot water, if this really went out of the water, it would be a big disaster to lose his head!

He couldn't stand a little, and jumped off the chair in a leisurely manner, just like Yuan Zhen before, sniffing here and there, until he walked to the place where Yuan Zhen was standing, Qiu Shi's expression suddenly froze-

It smells like here...... At least ten catties of soybeans and three catties of cold water, so smoked that he couldn't even open his eyes for a while.

He took a big sip just now.

Qiu Shi took a few steps back, and stomped his feet in annoyance.

"Yuan Zhen, your grandmother's ——!!!"

On the road from the house to the gate of the celebrant supervisor, Yuan Zhen walked lightly and almost hummed a little song.

It wasn't until the end of the stone path that Jia Yuchun, who was expressionless, appeared in sight, and his pace slowly slowed down.

It's just that he didn't see his face for four or five days, and Jia Yuchun actually lost weight visibly with the naked eye. He had been a tall and thin body, but the sides of his cheeks were slightly sunken, but his eyes were bigger and deeper than before.

Jia Yuchun also heard the sound here and turned his head to look over, and when their eyes met, both of them bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Father-in-law Jia came here today, it's really early." Yuan Zhen said in a dark voice, "Is it loyalty, huh?" ”

Jia Yuchun didn't answer this, just smiled, "It's not loyalty, it's just a gratitude." Gonggong Yuan is willing to help me with this today, it is really a great kindness, I Jia Yuchun Ming feels five-"

"Get ......" Yuan Zhen flicked his sleeves lightly, he looked ahead, "Let's go." ”

……

When he was about to reach the Shen Criminal Division, Yuan Zhen's pace slowed down significantly.

Jia Yuchun also felt this, he first slowed down his pace with Yuan Zhen's rhythm, but in the end, Yuan Zhen was obviously a little sluggish.

"Gonggong Yuan?"

Yuan Zhen turned around quietly, "What's wrong?" ”

"The Sentencing Division is ahead." Jia Yuchun said softly.

"What's the hurry?" Yuan Zhen's eyes were a little sneering, "It's all here, can I still get Grandpa Jia back?" ”

"That should ...... Not. Jia Yuchun also smiled thoughtfully, "...... I don't mean anything else today, I just come to visit, say a word or two and leave, and I won't cause any trouble to my father-in-law, really. ”

Yuan Zhen listened a little absentmindedly.

He looked at the palace people and guards who came and went not far away.

To be precise, he was waiting for someone.

A few days ago, not long after he handed over the forged letter sent by Bai Ling to Jia Yuchun, Jia Yuchun came over to beg, hoping that Yuan Zhen could take him on his next trip to the Criminal Division on the last day of April.

It also happened that on that day, Bai Ling also happened to be called into the palace, so Yuan Zhen found an opportunity to tell Bai Ling the news in person.

At that time, Bai Ling didn't have any special reaction, just nodded and replied, "Okay, I know" - this expression and answer made Yuan Zhen unhappy for a moment, so he hid the plan he had originally prepared to enter the palace, and deliberately put a difficult problem in front of Bai Ling.

"Then how are you going to enter the palace that day?"

Bai Ling thought about it at that time, shook his head and said, "If you want to avoid suspicion, I can't come in with a big fanfare, is there any way for Gonggong Yuan?" ”

Yuan Zhen sneered, "What can our family do, but Si Yao has always been smart, so he should be able to have his own way." ”

“…… Okay, then I'll think for myself. ”

—That's what Boling replied at the time.

Say yes and think for yourself...... Now that he and Jia Yuchun are almost at the door of the Shen Punishment Division, what about Bai Lingren?!

A nameless fire suddenly rose in Yuan Zhen's heart, this little girl was not a big girl for a while, and she couldn't find a way to enter the palace, so she fell short at this time!

"Gonggong Yuan?" Jia Yuchun looked at Yuan Zhen with a gloomy face on the side, who seemed to be a little distracted, "We ......"

Yuan Zhen simply didn't wait any longer, "Let's go." ”

Jia Yuchun nodded again and again, and there was a little more light in his cloudy eyes.

The two of them walked through the winding corridors and checkpoints outside the Punishment Division, and Yuan Zhen was already familiar with this area. As the ghost-faced Yama beside the saint, he doesn't know how many people he has sent here, and many of the Qin criminals were personally tried by him under the emperor's order.

Come to the final stone path. The road was flanked by high walls that jutted into the sky—if a blind sinner escaped the prison of the Penal Division, the guards could easily shoot an arrow as they passed through the deep and straight stone path.

The door of the Punishment Division opened, and Yuan Zhen and the jailer on duty today stepped forward to whisper a word or two, and then turned around and beckoned to Jia Yuchun. Jia Yuchun couldn't hear what Yuan Zhen said, he only felt that he handed over a thing in his hand to the other party, and then the jailer got out of the way.

“…… Come with me. Yuan Zhen took a lantern and waved his hand to Jia Yuchun behind him.

Jia Yuchun's heart suddenly lifted, but he didn't even run and jump to chase after him.

The dungeon of the Punishment Division was very quiet, and after going down to the second floor, only the sound of dripping water on the walls and the footsteps of the two could be heard.

Lin Jieyu, who was supposed to be imprisoned in the dungeon of Dali Temple, was quietly taken back to the palace on the third day after being imprisoned.

When he walked to the second and a half floors, Yuan Zhen stopped and handed the lantern to Jia Yuchun.

"Father-in-law, ...... this?" Jia Yuchun was a little surprised.

Yuan Zhen's voice was very low, "It's inconvenient for me to continue, what do you have to say, pick up the important ones, and come up when you're done." ”

Jia Yuchun was stunned, but he didn't hesitate, he quickly took the lantern handed by Yuan Zhen, and said "Okay" in a loud voice, and then, his footsteps and voice quickly disappeared around the corner.

Yuan Zhen looked in the direction he was leaving, and the smile on his face slowly faded, revealing his true color of hatred. And just as he turned to return to the ground, a hand suddenly reached out in the darkness and gently tugged at his sleeve.

Yuan Zhen turned around suddenly, almost screaming in horror for a while.

In the dark, the girl stood there wearing a black cloak, and she gently took off her hood, revealing Yuan Zhen's familiar face.

"My father-in-law is really neat." The girl whispered, "Bai Ling admires. ”
