Chapter 294: Unexpected Help
"That's it, my lord, I think it's a kind of fate to be able to talk to you here today, so let's drink it happily."
After a pause, Bai Rong pretended to be shy: "When you finish drinking, it's not too late to talk about anything else." ”
Bai Rong had never been drunk, and he was sure that this big official should not be able to drink much. Sure enough, after pouring several glasses of wine from that stinky county order, he began to get drunk, and tried to touch his hands and eat tofu three or four times on the way.
Bai Rong pretended to cater until the county magistrate was completely drunk to the point of falling asleep, and after being unconscious, she sneaked out while the guards patrolling outside were not paying attention.
Along the unfamiliar hallway, she tried to find the location of the county magistrate's study, and maybe she could find evidence of his collusion with human traffickers, but it was too dangerous for her to avoid the guards who occasionally walked by and to look around.
After looking for a while and still not finding it, Bai Rong simply gave up and ran out of the yamen through the side door instead.
When she left that ghost place, the first thing she did was to find evidence and find a way to clarify her and Gu Ziyuan's innocence first, otherwise by the time she was treated as a "fugitive" and spread everywhere, I am afraid it would be too late.
Speeding up her pace, Bai Rong coldly bumped into another person, she subconsciously wanted to hide, but heard a familiar exclamation.
"Oops, why don't you walk without looking at the road!"
"Is that you?" Bai Rong took a closer look and found that it was the girl who was infatuated with Gu Ziyuan.
The girl was stunned for a moment: "You, why did you come out, you weren't caught!" ”
Before the words fell, Bai Rong hurriedly took her to the alley to hide: "Shhh, don't be so loud, I escaped, Gu Ziyuan and I didn't kill anyone." ”
The girl suddenly held her face shyly and twisted: "It turns out that his name is Gu Ziyuan, what a beautiful name, and it matches my name a little." ”
Bai Rong twitched the corners of his mouth, "Girl, you appeared here on a big night, could it be because of him?" ”
"Of course, my hero saved my life, how can he be a murderer? I'm so worried about me, I've got to find a way to help him! The girl stamped her foot and pulled her handkerchief anxiously.
Unexpectedly, instead of regressing because of Gu Ziyuan's cold refusal at that time, this girl became more and more courageous.
Bai Rong thought about it and had a good idea: "How about we cooperate?" Anyway, it's to get him out
, two people will definitely succeed. ”
The main reason is that she is not familiar with the place, and if there is someone to lead the way, it will definitely help a lot.
She didn't expect the girl to be of any use.
After hesitating for a moment, the girl said awkwardly: "Then, then don't rush to ask for credit in front of the hero." ”
Although she was reluctant to get along with Bai Rong, in order to save her life-saving benefactor, she agreed.
"No, it won't." Bai Rong simply asked the point: "Do you know where the yamen put the corpse?" I'm going to have to see if there's anything weird about that corpse. ”
"I know, you come with me." The girl was quite reliable at the critical moment, and soon took her to her destination.
It happened to be night, and the guards were lazy and didn't come, giving Bai Rong a good chance to sneak in, but the girl didn't dare to go in, so she said to help Bai Rong take care of the wind outside and let her hurry up.
The morgue is just a dilapidated wooden house, occasionally a cold wind leaks in through the cracks in the window, making an eerie and piercing "ghost crying" sound, no one wants to stay here at night, but Bai Rong has no intention of caring about it, and seriously looks for the body.
Each corpse was placed in a wooden coffin, and some of them had begun to emit a disgusting stench, Bai Rong pinched her nose and wandered between the corpses, the coffin was opened and lowered, and finally she found the female corpse dead outside the courtyard door.
The corpse at night was even more terrifying than during the day, and Bai Rong was inevitably a little frightened, but he gritted his teeth and endured the fear in his heart, and began to check if there were any clues on the corpse.
Then she saw that there were indeed a few sword wounds on the corpse, but they were not obvious, and it could be said that they were almost not fatal, but it was just that these might still be fooled by the county order, and a more convincing reason had to be found.
She wanted to turn over the corpse to see if there was anything missing that had not been checked, but she heard footsteps hurrying in, it was the girl, she looked flustered: "It's over, it seems that someone is coming, what should I do?" ”
At this time, the sound of people talking outside was also heard.
"Why does there seem to be a sound in the morgue?"
"Let's take a look!"
Looking left and right, there was no place to hide, there was really no way, in a hurry, Bai Rong had to take the girl into the open coffin together, and quickly covered the lid of the coffin.
Marvel at yourself with the dead
Lying in the coffin, the girl almost screamed, but Bai Rong hurriedly covered her mouth, the girl was still frightened, and her whole body trembled, Bai Rong couldn't help but hold her breath and listen to the movement outside.
The two guards walked into the morgue, the surroundings were eerily quiet, and they began to search for the source of the sound that had just come out, Bai Rong heard the sound of them opening the other coffins, and began to tighten a little, and the movements of his hands were a little heavier.
The girl was covered with pain in her face, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
Just as the two of them were about to check Bai Rong's coffin, there was a sudden movement on the roof, a stone fell from the roof, and a figure flashed by.
"Meow"
The searcher then patted his chest: "I'm scared to death, I thought it was a ghost." ”
Another person chirped, "Pull it down, it's just a wild cat, go back and continue playing cards." ”
They quickly left the morgue, and when they couldn't hear the human voice at all, Bai Rong gently lifted and removed the coffin lid, gulping deliberately, and the girl jumped out of the coffin in disgust.
"I almost lost my life!" The girl stared, unable to believe that she had ever been so close to a dead man!
"I've got to keep looking, if you can't stand it, go out first." Bai Rong turned over the corpse, groped, and inadvertently touched the corpse, which seemed to have a needle on its head.
It's just that she didn't know what the needle was for, and she didn't pull it out for fear that it would destroy the evidence.
She felt that she should have found evidence: "But there is no pretense, how can we prove that this woman was not killed by Gu Ziyuan?" ”
Another conundrum lies ahead.
Hearing the two words, the girl spoke: "Actually, my family has been a servant since the ancestors, if you want to find a servant, I can take you to meet my family." ”
"Are you serious? That's great, thank you! Bai Rong is grateful, it seems that God has been taking care of her.
The girl smiled proudly, and thanked her very much: "You're welcome, after all, Miss Ben has to be more kind-hearted in order to attract Gu Gongzi's attention." ”
"Let's not talk about this yet, let's go before dawn and go find a servant!" Bai Rong couldn't wait, afraid that after the county order woke up at dawn, he would take Gu Ziyuan to attack.
