Mu Jingzhu's face was unclear under the faint yellow candle flame, and there was a faint terrifying murderous aura, which gradually spread up in the darkness.

Especially in the face of the people at the door, it is unprecedented vigilance.

This is very different from the old days.

"I'm just here to remind you not to forget your own mission because you're immersed in your children's private affairs."

"It's not your turn to remind me of this kind of thing!"

Mu Jingzhu had a bad tone and was full of hostility.

"Oh, really?" The other party didn't care at all, looking in his direction, the darkness shining in his eyes, making his eyes pitch black. "If she knew what you were doing in those days of your disappearance, do you think she would still believe in you as she always did?"

"What are you going to do when you come here today?"

A word burst out, and what poured out in an instant was an invisible murderous aura, which directly caused the temperature in the cell to drop a lot, and even Qu Youying, who was asleep in his arms, seemed to move with uneasiness.

The man outside the prison was even more windless, but he didn't care at all.

"The old lady of Jiangnan Shuifu is about to have her birthday, and when the time comes, she will hand over the 'Shangshu Ancient Scroll' to the heir of Shuifu, and you need to help Shui Linze get Shangshu Ancient Scroll and become the heir of Jiangnan Shuifu."

As he spoke, he escaped a thick envelope from his bosom and threw it through the crack in the iron bar onto the small wooden table in front of Mu Jingzhu.

"This is the connection of Jiangnan Water Mansion."

Mu Jingzhu stared at the envelope and didn't say a word for a long time.

The people outside the prison door didn't care, as if he was here to deliver this thing, and as for whether Mu Jingzhu received it or not, it was his business.

He waved his hand and yawned, "Now that the things have been delivered, I'm leaving, good luck." ”

Mu Jingzhu's gaze fell from the envelope to the back of the man, and in the blurred vision, it was like a thick darkness that penetrated from the darkness, gradually occupying the entire eye socket.

At that moment, it was as if a streak of blood had penetrated through his eyes.

He quickly closed his eyes, his hands clenched into fists, and he trembled as he hugged the person in his arms.

I don't know how long it took, when the lamp oil was about to burn out, he opened his eyes, and the bottom of his eyes was clear, as if nothing had happened before.

In the early morning of the second day, Xie Xiaoer and Yun Shu came to visit in prison.

Mu Jingzhu asked them to bring Qu Youying back, and told her to wake her up at dusk.

This is his promise to her, and he doesn't want to break his faith to make her sad.

So although Qu Youying woke up and found that she was already in the plum garden, she didn't complain much, although her body was still a little tired and weak, she still took a bath, ate something, and then went to the yamen.

At that time, the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple had already arrived, and the news was passed on to the suspect Yang Wan'er and the village chief's father and daughter.

She is a servant of the town, and she is a direct participant in this case, so she is routinely called over for questioning.

But after asking, she didn't leave.

There is still a long way to go from the yamen to the prison, and this time is the only time she has asked Yang Wan'er about Hongzhu.

Because the evidence was conclusive and the prisoners all confessed to the crime, the trial did not take long and ended.

Lord Su spoke, escorted the person back to the prison, and waited for the two adults to make a decision, and then set off for Xuancheng, where the Son of Heaven was located.

Because the person was going out, Qu Youying took a step back and waited respectfully at the door, intending to wait and follow along.

But just when Yang Wan'er was escorted out, she suddenly fell towards the official beside her.

Qu Youying's eyelids jumped, and before she could react, she saw Yang Wan'er quickly pull out the saber of the official and quickly stab it in the abdomen of the village chief who was escorted back to the cell with her.

Everything happened in an instant, so fast that it was impossible to react.

"Daddy—"

The village chief covered his abdomen with his hands, and his five fingers together could not stop the flow of blood, and the village chief's daughter yelled even more heartbreakingly, she glared at Yang Wan'er angrily, and rushed towards her madly in the next second.

But he was stopped by the officials.

"You killed my father, I'm going to kill you!"

She cried and screamed, tears and snot running down her face, and her heart was broken.

But Yang Wan'er was very calm, and her eyes showed joy and numbness to the death of the village chief.

She looked at the village chief's daughter and said coldly, "Presumably when he slaughtered the Manchus of my Yiren Village, they also looked at the murderer with hatred like you, but they couldn't do anything about it. At this point, the only person who killed the Inhuman Village back then was the emperor who was high, and you said, should you kill them too? ”

"Presumptuous!" The official of the Criminal Department slammed the case, "You have ill intentions, and you are so bold that you want to assassinate the current emperor." According to the laws of this dynasty, you will be destroyed by the nine clans! ”

"The Nine Clans? You come to destroy! My relatives have long been dead, if I reluctantly say that I have relatives, it will be Mrs. Yang's family, that high-ranking concubine Niangniang, do you dare to exterminate the Nine Clans? ”

Her words, with great arrogance and conceit, are irrefutable.

Let's ask, when the concubine is favored, who dares to risk a big disobedience to join her?

So even if they were angry and their teeth were itching, they had no choice but to order someone to pull her down as soon as possible and serve her severely.

"It doesn't matter if I die, but the hatred of the Inhuman Village will not be eliminated because of this, tell your emperor to be careful, don't be wiped off his neck and usurped the throne one day!"

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!"

Qu Youying looked at the popular ones who were about to go crazy, and looked at Yang Wan'er with a slightly suspicious look.

Yang Wan'er said these words, in fact, she could have said in prison yesterday, but she calmly tied her hands and was arrested.

And the village chief was convicted of a crime, and the incident twenty-five years ago was known to the emperor, and the village chief had no chance of living, so even if Yang Wan'er didn't kill him, he would die.

But on the other hand, if she really wants to kill the village chief, there will be opportunities before and after the village chief is caught.

But she didn't do that, but chose this time.

"Why the hell is that?"

Qu Youying was puzzled, she rubbed her beating eyelids, always feeling that something was going to happen.

There was a soft sound of "click", and just when Qu Youying was immersed in doubt, something fell from the feet of Yang Wan'er, who was taken out.

Master Su's eyes were sharp, and he said loudly, "What is that?" ”

Yang Wan'er was about to pick it up, but her hands were tightly pulled by the officials, and she couldn't bend down at all, so she stepped on it with her feet instead, but someone lifted her feet and picked up the things stiffly.

The official handed over the thing he had picked up, "My lord, it's a token, and there's a 'Ji' character on it." ”

"Ji Zi?" Lord Su took a look, his face changed suddenly, he handed the token to the two adults, and his voice trembled a little, "This is King Ji's decree." ”

The two adults were shocked, Qu Youying turned her head, pulled Xie Xiaoer's sleeve beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Which prince is King Ji?" ”

"King Ji, the ninth prince of the dynasty, is the widow of the queen's mother, because he looks too similar to the queen's mother, causing the emperor to love and hate him. Anyway, for now, he is also one of the princes who are vying for the position of prince. It is said that the prince does not like to play cards according to common sense, some time ago, he had a big quarrel with the emperor, and he went out of Xuancheng, and he still does not know where he went. But he has the support of the Su family behind him, the current old lady of the Su family, but the biggest contributor to the emperor's ascension to the throne back then, the boss of the Su family is the general of the dynasty, and he is in charge of the tiger talisman in hand, even this Lord Su is also a side of the Su family, and he and King Ji can be regarded as close relatives. ”

Qu Youying originally didn't like the affairs of the government the most, but because of her mother's departure, she had to understand, and it was good to know something.

"So now, Yang Wan'er is King Ji's person?"

"For now, you can't go wrong." Xie Xiaoer held his chin, looked at Yang Wan'er, who was escorted back again, and said, "But after she was arrested, she should have taken all the items on her body, how could she miss such a big token?" ”

"If she hadn't cleverly not been discovered, or had bought the servants in the cell and hid them, or someone had deliberately left this thing until this time."

In the first half of her words, Xie Xiaoer still felt that it was very reasonable, but in the last sentence, Xie Xiaoer's head was not finished, and he showed doubts.

"What do you mean?"

"Look." Qu Youying pointed at Yang Wan'er and said, "She is slender, and she is wearing a thin prisoner's suit, I have studied this dress, there is no bag, and the injuries on her body can be seen as tortured when she was tortured." In that case, how did you hide such a token? ”

Xie Xiaoer thought for a while and said, "She may also have hid in her cell when she was tortured." ”

"Then why do you take it out now?" Qu Youying interrupted him, her eyes sharp, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." There was only one possibility for her to do so. ”

"What is it?"

"Planting blame."

Qu Youying's voice was not high, but somehow, the people in the entire hall looked at her, and even the adults who interrogated them stopped.

"What do you mean by planting?"

It was someone from the criminal department who asked her, he had a thick beard, and he was not a good person at first glance, as for what his surname was, Qu Youying didn't remember it clearly anyway.

Xie Xiaoer looked at her and didn't speak, and planned to fool her up, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Qu Youying.

She shook her head at him, then took a step toward the center of the hall and saluted the adults.

"My lord, I am the work of the prefect of Xiangling Town, and I shouldn't be talking too much at this time, but this case has already involved people in the royal family, so I can't stand by anymore."

"Do you have something to say? Let's hear it. ”

After this case, Lord Su has a good impression of this woman, after all, King Ji also has something to do with his Su family, if King Ji is really arrested as a rebel, then he will not be able to escape.

"Thank you, Lord Su."

Qu Youying saluted again, and then slowly said what she thought.

"As we all know, Yang Wan'er's original intention to kill Taiwei was because of the incident in the Inhuman Village back then, and she was raised as a medicine man since she was a child, so it led to an imbalance in her heart. But I have to say that she can do this alone, as a woman, it is still admirable, because it requires not only courage, but also vision. ”

She spoke in a round, low voice, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Go on."
