Master Zhou returned to the academy after taking care of the dim sum shop that day, and asked Dean Zhou: "Today, the lady of the Yunzhu Kuaijia came to the dim sum shop, saying that there was a murder in Xinghua Village, and she went to Xinghua Village with Yu County's order, but is there such a thing?" ”

"It's true!"

Dean Zhou sighed: "The person who had the accident is Su Xuexue, Cao'er's father, I am also afraid that I heard the news wrong, so I specially sent someone to find the housekeeper of Yufu, I am afraid that Shen Xuexue will be distracted by the autumn exam because of this matter, and I will hide this matter from a few of them." ”

"Life is impermanent! Last time, Cao'er was unjustly imprisoned, and he also found the academy, how could it be? ”

The lady who caught the cloud quickly said vividly in the dim sum shop today, saying that the Li Zheng of Xinghua Village sent someone to the yamen to report the case, and it was the robbers who injured people.

If you find the housekeeper of Yufu, it is indeed true.

"Yu Runze is Cao'er's godbrother, and Shen Shusheng grew up in the same village as Cao'er, so he is very close, isn't it okay to hide this matter from them?"

"Do you think I want to hide it, Qiu Yu is the most important thing, how can it be child's play? Shen Yuning is going to Yulong County to catch the exam, and at a critical juncture, he can't be distracted by this. ”

Dean Zhou was a little irritable: "That's it, Yu Xian Ling has been taking the people from the yamen to Xinghua Village for two days, and when he comes back from Xinghua Village, he can always figure out what happened, and then decide whether to mention this matter to Shen Xuezi and them, it's not too early, you rest first, I'll go to the study house to have a look......"

It was silent at night, but autumn was approaching, and there were still lights in the study.

Dean Zhou knew that after Shen Yuning decided to go to Yulong County to catch the exam, he was studying at room temperature until late at night, and he almost had no hanging beams, so he decided to go and see him.

As soon as I passed under the verandah, I saw a fire behind the bamboo bushes.

As soon as he turned out of the verandah, he saw the person who was incense through the faint moonlight, like Shen Yuning's figure, and the direction in which he knelt and bowed with incense was the direction of Xinghua Village.

Dean Zhou spoke: "You know everything? ”

Hearing the movement, Shen Yuning inserted the incense under the bamboo root, then got up, and opened his mouth in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, the student learned from the purchasing brother in the academy's stove room!"

Dean Zhou was surprised: "Then why didn't I see you come to take leave?" ”

"It's late! The students are rushing back to Xinghua Village now, after all, it is too late, Uncle Su is dead, he did not die at the hands of robbers, his death has another hidden meaning. ”

Shen Yuning thought of the gloomy eyes that had stared at Su Cao in the dark, and remembered the secret that Su Zhongxian said that day, and explained hoarse and sad: "The last time I went back to Xinghua Village, I promised Uncle Su that I would protect Cao'er's sister for the rest of my life. As long as the student is strong, he can protect the person he wants to protect, right? Compared with returning to the apricot blossom mourning, Yuning thought that fulfilling Uncle Su's last wish was more important. ”

"On the day when the new academy was erected, you didn't go back to Shen's house to get things, but went to see Zhongxian?"

Dean Zhou knew in his heart: "Because he told you something, so you returned to the county academy and decided to participate in the autumn festival in Yulong County, but so?" ”

"It's about Cao'er's life experience, and it's not easy for students to say ......"

Shen Yuning didn't want to say more, Dean Zhou had to give up, but Su Zhongxian was his former protégé after all, even if the deadline for arranging for the students to go to Yulong County to catch the exam was approaching, Dean Zhou still wanted to find out the reason for Su Zhongxian's death.

So as soon as Yu County Ling returned to the county seat, he deliberately took the time to run to the yamen.
