Aunt Zhao in the dead grass was motionless, as if she was in a coma.

Nan Qiao ordered the jailer to retreat, frowned and squatted down in front of Aunt Zhao, stretched out his finger and probed beside Aunt Zhao's snort, and found that there was still gas,

"Aunt Zhao, wake up!" She gently shook Aunt Zhao's shoulder.

Aunt Zhao coughed lightly twice and slowly opened her eyes, Nan Qiao leaned her against the crook of her arm,

"Aunt Zhao, how are you? Do you still hold on? ”

Seeing that it was Nan Qiao, Aunt Zhao's pale lips opened into a stiff smile,

"I didn't expect you to come to see me, the current Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is even more terrifying than the previous Nalan Mansion!"

She gasped several times when she said a word, as if she would die if she was not careful.

"Don't talk yet." As he spoke, Nan Qiao took out a small bottle from his arms and poured out a medicine for Aunt Zhao to take.

After Aunt Zhao took it, her breathing became much more stable, and she suddenly asked, "You are the county lord of the Southern Jin Dynasty, right?" ”

Nan Qiao was stunned for a second, then nodded, "um".

"Now that Daye and the Southern Jin Dynasty are at war, you have to take care of yourself, it's best not to come to this kind of place, lesp..."

Nan Qiao patted her on the back, "It's okay, they don't dare to do anything to me for the time being, Aunt Zhao, as long as you tell the ins and outs of the future, I will find a way to save you!" ”

Aunt Zhao waved her hand, "Now that you are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, you can't protect yourself, so you don't have to bother to save me, anyway, the master doesn't believe me, and my mother's family doesn't care, so what if I can't get out?" ”

She smiled bitterly and sighed, "I just ask you to take care of Hua'er for me, I'm grateful!" ”

Nan Qiao comforted, "Don't worry, I can still save your life!" ”

"I can't argue about murder, and no one can save me, so don't bother."

Aunt Zhao is a smart person, she won't do any useless struggles, the only thing she can't let go of is Nalan Fanghua, but now, except for Nan Qiao, who can protect Nalan Fanghua, who can she rest assured?

Nan Qiao's eyebrows were solemn, "It's Ruyi, right?" ”

Aunt Zhao sneered weakly, "I thought you had the best relationship with her, but I didn't expect her face to be so embarrassing, even you didn't expect it, right?" ”

Nan Qiao was relieved, "There's nothing unexpected, some people, betrayal is a matter of time... Besides, she was using me at the beginning, so how can I talk about betrayal? My deal with her is nothing more than a deal! She tricked me into going to Nalan Mansion, but she was afraid that she would be calculated by the Li family before she gained a firm foothold, so she asked me to be her shield. ”

Aunt Zhao sighed when she heard this, "That day, the old lady was pushed down by her, and she was standing behind the old lady at that time, I didn't fight back at all, I did it as I wished!" ”

Nan Qiao was silent for a moment and said, "I know! She has always hated the old lady and the Li mother and daughter, and it was the old lady who died this time, presumably next time..."

Nan Qiao wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly frowned, "Li's family, how does she want Li's to die?" ”

Aunt Zhao sneered, "With her means, she must be able to do a drop of water!" Just like this time, it's clean. ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of weapons colliding at the other end of the cell, Nan Qiao didn't have time to think about it, and looked towards that place, only to see that the red fire was spreading rapidly to this side, and now it was the end of summer, and the weather was dry.

Nan Qiao didn't care so much, picked up Aunt Zhao and walked out, and when she walked out of the cell, she was dumbfounded.

The aisle was surrounded by the corpses of the jailers, Nan Qiao had a keen sense and immediately sensed that something was wrong, but if he didn't go out now, would he stay here and be burned to death?

Pondering for a moment, Nan Qiao didn't hesitate any longer, and helped Aunt Zhao step over the corpse and walked outside.

As soon as she got outside, the soldiers who had hurried to her were surrounded, as if they had already stepped on the time.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves approached, and in the dim light, several men on horseback came this way.

The soldiers got out of the way, and Nan Qiao finally saw that the person in front was Ji Wuyu, who was still riding the big black horse.

The remaining few people were dressed in official uniforms and should be officials of the court.

Seeing this scene, Ji Wuyu's face under the mask couldn't see any expression clearly.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department said, "Lord Wang, this Southern Jin County Lord kills people and robs prisons, how should I deal with it?" ”

Ji Wuyu didn't speak, his eyes kept staring at her.

Doctor Yu Shi also interjected, "Lord, you can't cover her up because of the beauty of the county lord of the Southern Jin Dynasty, now Daye and the Southern Jin Dynasty are at war times, the county lord of the Southern Jin Dynasty kills people and robs the prison, and burning the prison is a crime that deserves death, if the prince can't bear to deal with it, it will be replaced by the lower officials!" ”

After the words fell, the imperial doctor turned over and dismounted, pulled out the saber at his waist, and walked towards Nan Qiao step by step.

Nan Qiao's eyes kept falling on Ji Wuyu, her brows furrowed, without the slightest cowardice.

Seeing that the imperial doctor approached Nan Qiao, the knife in his hand was raised, and when he was about to cut it, the green tendons on the back of Ji Wuyu's hand holding the reins bulged and trembled,

"Stop!"

Doctor Yushi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth to disobey Ji Wuyu's order to raise his knife again,

"You witch, die!"

Since the last incident at the post station, people outside have called her a demon girl, saying that her heart is like a snake and scorpion, and she kills people like hemp.

Everyone here hates her to death, but Nan Qiao doesn't care about these at all, the only thing she cares about is Ji Wuyu.

"This king told you to stop, and if you dare to disobey this king's order, this king will kill your whole family!" Ji Wuyu roared angrily, frightening the people present.

Doctor Yu Shi gritted his teeth unwillingly, and finally put down the saber in his hand, flicked his sleeves, and turned around.

"Lord Wang, you are so protective of this woman, the officials are not convinced!"

"If you don't accept it, hold it back to this king! Whoever dares to hurt her in the slightest, this king will take someone's life! ”

One sentence made all the officials present dare not speak, and they sighed one after another.

However, today's matter, even if Ji Wuyu protects Nan Qiao strongly, it will inevitably be criticized, and even the emperor will issue a decree to punish him.

"Who said I was a murderer and a prisoner? Have you seen it with your own eyes? Nan Qiao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Humph! The demon girl has to quibble! Doctor Yu Shi was dissatisfied.

Nan Qiao sneered, "You say that I killed people and robbed prisons, so may I ask, how did they die?" ”

"You don't need to ask, of course you killed me!" The criminal department Shangshu couldn't help but argue.

"This is the prison of the Criminal Department, presumably not far from here, there are still a few complete corpses here, whether I killed them or not, you will know after the corpse is examined!" Nan Qiao said unhurriedly.

Doctor Yu Shi was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Wuyu, "Someone, call him over!" ”

"Yes!" The man below answered, and then left quickly.

"Also, don't you adults think it's too coincidental? As soon as I came out, you arrived. Nan Qiao said.

"Hmph, the Criminal Department is not far from here, and we will naturally come in time if something happens in the prison!" The Criminal Department is still the same.

"How far is it?" Nan Qiao asked again.

"About two hundred meters, what the hell do you want to ask?" The criminal department Shangshu was a little impatient.

"I'm holding a seriously injured person, only my left hand is left, and there are at least thirty jailers in the prison, even if I can kill with my left hand, then when I kill people at the beginning, someone will report it."

"Such a close distance, it only takes a quarter of an hour to go back and forth, when you arrived, it should be that I was still killing people before I got out of the prison, so how did I kill more than 30 people in such a short period of time and then set fire to the prison?"

After Nan Qiao's analysis, Doctor Yu Shi raised the bar and said, "Who knows if you have any accomplices?" ”

"Huh!" Nan Qiao smiled, "If I have an accomplice, do I still need to help people in person?" ”

"Sophistry!" The criminal department Shangshu pointed at her and said.

Nan Qiao didn't care either, and continued, "Look, I'm holding Aunt Zhao, you just came out and you really surrounded me, so let me ask again, why are there still patrolling jailer corpses by the wall three meters away from me?" I don't have a knife in my hand, and I can't kill a jailer that far away! ”

When the words fell, everyone looked towards that place, and suddenly it fell silent, and no one opened their mouths to raise the bar again.

Nan Qiao slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "If my guess is right, that person should be the first to die, because if someone kills into the prison, it must be from outside the prison, and I have a dragon order, and I can forcibly take away the prisoner without killing people at all." ”

Still no one spoke, and everyone fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he hurriedly came, and after a visit, Ji Wuyu spoke,

"Check the body well, first check the body on the other side of the fence and see how long he has been dead."

He immediately took the order, went to see the corpse, and then looked at a few words about the undamaged corpse in the prison, and an hour later, he said,

"These jailers all died from knife wounds, almost all of them were killed by a stab in the neck, and the corpse outside was obviously stiffer than the others, and the blood stains were dry, so that corpse was the first to die."

After coming to this conclusion, Nan Qiao pulled out the chasing shadow from his waist, "But they died under this dagger?" ”

He only glanced at the blade, then shook his head directly, "No, the blade of this dagger is extremely thin, and the wound left is very thin, and their wound is obviously a knife wound, and there are traces of valgus." ”

"What if she kills someone else's weapon?" The Criminal Department Shangshu asked.

Nan Qiao said directly, "Then bother to find a knife that matches the wound at the scene!" ”

After hearing this, he went to look for the knives around him, and the ordinary knives of the jailers did not match the depth of this knife.

"Here, there is not a single knife that fits the wound." He said.

"Now that I've ruled out the suspicion of the murderer, since there's nothing to do with me, then I'll go!" After speaking, Nan Qiao helped Aunt Zhao to leave.

"Wait!" The criminal department Shangshu said.

Nan Qiao stopped, "My lord, is there anything else?" ”

The Criminal Department Shangshu said, "You can't take the prisoner away, and you are an eyewitness at the scene, so you can't leave for the time being!" ”
