Chapter 36: Temptation
In the dark night, in an alley, an unpretentious carriage was surrounded by more than twenty black-clothed people, and the sharp big knife flashed a cold light under the night, making the quiet alley more and more cold.
An Feng grabbed Gu Ran's sleeve tightly with one hand, and just now she sneaked a look, and there was a circle of people outside.
Gu Ran looked down at the wrinkles in his flat white clothes that had been scratched out by An Feng, he had always cared about this matter, not only was he not angry in his heart, but he was full of distress when he looked at the poor An Feng.
"Gu Ran, that Yunfu's handwriting is too big, can it take so many people to kill me as a small lawyer?" An Feng wrinkled his nose, a rare little cowardice.
Gu Ran's eyes were full of cunning, "An Feng is scared?" ”
An Feng glared at him, "Life and death are at stake, how can you not be afraid?" ”
Gu Ran stretched out his hand, and stayed on An Feng's head for a moment, An Feng looked up at him, his tilted head was particularly cute, Gu Ran's paused hand still couldn't help but fall, and patted it gently, "Don't be afraid, but some are just pawns." ”
An Feng swallowed her saliva, she could see the bright big knife clearly, even if Gu Ran's martial arts were world-famous, could she really defeat ten with one?
What An Feng didn't know was that with the skills of these people outside, let alone twenty, even if there were a hundred, they were not Gu Ran's opponents.
Before An Feng's thoughts fell, he saw Gu Ran, who was still on the side just now, fly out of the carriage, An Feng came back to his senses, and said worriedly to Gu Ran, who had fallen outside the carriage, "You should be careful." ”
Gu Ran smiled and nodded, An Feng was pushed back into the carriage by a gust of wind, and the curtain of the carriage was also imprisoned by something, preventing An Feng from opening it again.
An Feng, who was sitting in the car, was anxious, but he couldn't see the scene outside, he only heard the sound of ice blades colliding, and he was terrified to hear it, but fortunately, such an anxious situation did not last long, but for a moment and a half, An Feng saw Gu Ran enter the carriage from outside unscathed.
An Feng pulled Gu Ran, who had entered the carriage, to look left and right, and saw that he was really not injured, so he exhaled, and said as the carriage slowly moved forward again, "You really scared me just now." ”
Because An Feng was anxious, Gu Ran had a slight apology on his face, "These people are insignificant, but they make An Feng worried." ”
Seeing that Gu Ran was fine, An Feng's heartbeat slowed down slightly, but because of these black-clothed killers, An Feng's heart was still hanging high after all, "Is it because Yunfu saw that I was with you that he sent so many people?" ”
Gu Ran shook his head, "They just want to kill two birds with one stone." ”
An Feng frowned, she was smart and naturally knew what Gu Ran meant, so she felt a little uneasy in her heart, "You are secretive, how can you be known?" Are they still not sure? So come and test you? ”
An Feng thought and grabbed Gu Ran's sleeve tightly, "You know this, why did you do it with them just now?" Isn't there a shadow guard? ”
Gu Ran saw that An Feng cared about him so much, and his hand couldn't help but lift, and patted An Feng's head gently, An Feng's hair was soft and smooth, completely different from her cold and stern in the public court on weekdays, Gu Ran's hand touched An Feng's hair, as if touching a gentle heart under her strong surface, something in her heart became more and more intense, and her throat was a little dull.
"They want to test me, and I'm just doing a play." Gu Ran comforted softly.
An Feng looked at Gu Ran with some inquiry in his eyes, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Recently, some outsiders or officials have died inexplicably, ...... you?"
Before An Feng's words could be asked, the slow-moving carriage stopped, "Childe, it's here." ”
Gu Ran exhaled, An Feng's question was interrupted, and there was no suitable opportunity to ask.
The two of them returned to the room with their own concerns, An Feng's mind was full of the files he had read today, and he couldn't sleep at all, so he simply got up and wrote a re-autopsy application.
……
"Whew, it's finally written." When An Feng finished writing the application, the sky outside the window was already hazy.
beckoned the maid to come in to wash, ate a few mouthfuls of buns at random, and went to the yamen alone.
Ye Qing gets up early every day, and when he first arrived at the Yamen, he happened to see An Feng's hurried back, and his steps couldn't help but speed up, catching up with An Feng, "Miss An Feng is so early?" ”
An Feng was taken aback by Ye Qing, who suddenly appeared, and then eased his mind before saying, "I have some urgent matters that I want to bring to the prefect, but I happened to meet Ye Zhukuai, can you take me all the way?" ”
Ye Qing was extremely happy, and took An Feng to find the prefect, and the two walked all the way, Ye Qing saw clearly that An Feng's good-looking eyes were a circle of black green, looking at An Feng's face a little tired, thinking of everyone's evaluation of An Feng after the incident of Jiangjinglou, he couldn't help but ask again, "Wu Shishi's matter has a great impact on An Feng, ...... Are you alright? ”
An Feng couldn't see Ye Qing's other thoughts, only said that he was kind, and replied with a smile, "It's all good." ”
Ye Qing saw that An Feng's face was solemn, and he was a little silent, and he didn't know what to say, so he just followed An Feng silently.
The prefect had already handled the case in front of the case, and he was a little surprised to see Ye Qing coming with An Feng, usually he saw An Feng with appreciation in his eyes, but today when he looked at An Feng's eyes, it was different, An Feng thought of the recent turmoil, and smiled helplessly.
"What's going on today?" The prefect opened his mouth first.
After An Feng bowed, he handed over the application in his hand to the prefect, "An Feng came here this time to ask the prefect to re-examine Nie Xiaoying's body and return the deceased to innocence." ”
The prefect took the application in An Feng's hand, but he didn't open it for the first time, a pair of shrewd and translucent eyes looked at An Feng, An Feng felt the prefect's compelling gaze, and only stood with his waist straight, neither humble nor arrogant, and Ye Qing on the side had the heart to say something for An Feng, but looking at the prefect's face, he had the heart but was weak.
Time gradually passed with the silence of the prefect, An Feng waited on the side without arrogance or impatience, when she took over the case of Nie Xiaoying's sister and brother, she was ready to confront the power, no matter whether the prefect agreed today or not, she would always find a way to make them agree.
"An Feng, why are you here?" The prefect, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, but it was a little inexplicable that he only asked.
"The grievances of the world!" An Feng looked at the prefect, his eyes were like torches, and he did not flinch at all.
"Have you been involved in a struggle for power?" The prefect asked again.
Anfen shook his head, "Never." ”
The prefect didn't ask An Feng any more questions, but lowered his head and looked at the application submitted by An Feng seriously, An Feng waited for a while, and then heard the prefect say again, "If you want to re-examine the body of the official government that has given the cause of death, you need to submit it to the superintendent and give enough reasons, and now you submit it to me, I can't help it." ”
At this moment, An Feng no longer has the attitude of a little daughter in front of Gu Ran, the whole person is full of momentum, and there is no trace of cowardice in front of the prefect, "Dali Temple has regulations, before submitting to the superintendent, the yamen needs to give an opinion on whether to agree or not, and An Feng is here to ask the prefect for his opinion today." ”
The prefect was very satisfied with seeing that An Feng had just arrived but was well aware of these subtle procedures, but An Feng was proud and hid his appreciation, "I have already read your application, and the reason for the application seems to be reasonable and well-founded, but I don't know whether the adults of the supervisors can agree." ”
An Feng lowered her head, she finally found a trace of detail from the file of Nie Xiaoying's sister and brother. When Xu Jianing asked him to identify the body in the official mansion, it was mentioned in the transcript that the reason why he recognized Nie Xiaoying as Nie Xiaoye's sister was to confirm a red mole on her arm.
Nie Xiaoying's red mole is above the elbow, if Xu Jianing has never violated Nie Xiaoying, how would he know about Nie Xiaoying's red mole in this position, so An Feng took this as a starting point and applied for a re-inquest of the body, but depending on the prefect's intentions, the superintendent would not agree with such a reason.
"If you want the superintendent to agree to a re-inquest, you need more reasons." The prefect and An Fengdao.
An Feng pondered the meaning of the prefect's words, lowered his head and pondered for a moment before raising his head and saying to the prefect with a smile, "An Feng understands what the prefect meant, and An Feng will definitely find a bigger and more reasonable reason." ”
The prefect handed the application back to An Feng, then took out a pen and paper to write his opinion and handed it to An Feng, "That's all I can do." ”
An Feng's eyes were full of gratitude, the prefect was in the temple, it was not easy to be able to do this, "An Feng thanked the prefect. ”
The prefect nodded and pointed at Ye Qing, "If you have nothing to do today, let's go with An Feng." ”
Ye Qing knew that the prefect was afraid that An Feng would be embarrassed, so he surrendered, "Ye Qing obeyed the order." ”
The two of them left the yamen, and hurried to the superintendent's office, but the two of them were just out of the yamen not far away, when they heard a woman behind them calling Ye Qing.
"Qing'er!"
Ye Qing and An Feng turned around at the same time and saw a noble woman supported by two little maids.
An Feng glanced at the old woman, and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were a little familiar, and when he looked at Ye Qing, he understood.
At this time, I happened to hear Ye Qing shouting, "Mother, why are you here?" ”
Mother Ye hurriedly greeted Ye Qing behind her, "What do you say, you weren't at home last night, and my mother brought you breakfast." ”
Ye Qing's face was embarrassed, "Mother, I'm such a big person, I know to take care of myself, I still have something to do now, you can go back first." ”
Ye Qing's refusal made his mother frown, "I have to have breakfast when I'm busy, is it possible that your yamen is so harsh?" If your prefect won't even let you have breakfast, I'll have to reason with him!" ”
Ye Qing hurriedly stopped his mother.
An Feng said with interest on the side, "Ye Zhu, let's have breakfast first, I'll go alone." ”
An Feng thought that Ye Qing followed him, but he was not embarrassed, there was no change in the application result, An Feng was never afraid of embarrassment, so it didn't matter whether Ye Qing went or not.
An Feng, who spoke, attracted the attention of Ye's mother, she glanced An Feng up and down, and saw that this girl was richly dressed, her appearance was charming, and her temperament was particularly good when she talked, and a trace of joy rose in her heart, Ye Qing had reached the age of talking about marriage, and this girl in front of her was worthy of her son after only a few glances.
"What girl is this?" Ye Mu asked with a smile.
Although An Feng didn't like Ye Mu's scrutinizing eyes, he was also familiar with Ye Qing, and replied politely, "Back to Mrs., An Feng is the lawyer of Fengyun Hall." ”
As soon as An Feng's voice fell, Ye Mu's eyes had long since lost the smile just now, she was a lawyer!
An Feng is so smart, how could he not see Ye's mother's thoughts, without waiting for them to say a word more, he hurriedly said goodbye, Ye Qing saw An Feng leaving, but he was pulled by his mother, and his eyes were reluctant.
Mother Ye said on the side, "Qing'er, don't be confused, you can't just look at your appearance when choosing a wife, your background is more important than your background." ”
Ye Qing came back to his senses, his face was slightly angry, "Mother, don't talk nonsense!" ”
