Chapter Ninety-Seven: He Disguised as a Woman
After Nan Xinuo finished tasting Fuping's food, he went to the room to dress up, looked at the hair that was pulled up by Yun Shizi himself, and his heart was happy, and he followed Yun Shizi out very happily.
The night lights of Fuping are dimly lit, colorful lanterns are hung high, and all kinds of beautiful fireworks are blooming, colorful and shining visual feast.
There is also a lantern riddle, there is Yun Shizi, Nan Xinuo has a prize in his hand, and walks to the painting boat with the blue rabbit lantern.
It's just that there are too many people on the street, and suddenly a person accidentally bumped into Nan Xinuo, and after hearing her hurriedly say sorry. Nan Xinuo raised her eyebrows, looking at her distant back, the corners of her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, staring at the slender figure of the person in surprise.
Yun Shizi was a little surprised when he saw that Nan Xinuo had been staring at that person, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Nan Xinuo looked at the person who had disappeared, still very puzzled in his heart, frowned and said, "Well, I think that person was very strange just now." ”
"Strange?"
Yun Shizi just saw the old man, so he didn't pay attention to the woman who bumped into Nan Xinuo, not to mention that he was not interested in other women in the first place, so he generally ignored it automatically.
Nan Xinuo nodded, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that person was very strange, "Well-she, she shouldn't be a woman!" That face hung on her was very disobedient. ”
"Huh?" Yun Shizi was slightly surprised, "She's not a woman?" You mean, she's dressed as a man? ”
Nan Xinuo nodded, paused for a moment, and affirmed his thoughts, "Yes, women and men have different habits, when he just bumped into my arm, he didn't subconsciously move to protect his chest, but walked straight forward." This makes me a little curious. ”
Yun Shizi frowned, a little puzzled. Nan Xinuo saw that he was a little puzzled, and seemed to be in disbelief. Raising his eyes to look at the people around him, he paused for a second and then walked forward, giving Yun Shizi an intriguing smile.
Yun Shizi was just about to say something, when he saw that she bumped into a woman, he was slightly stunned, then frowned, and pondered for a while.
"You see it's a woman, someone bumps into it, and she usually subconsciously protects her chest, but that person didn't have it just now."
Nan Xinuo chuckled and walked over, "Moreover, his face is very disobedient, I guess he is very likely to be disguised!"
Yun Shizi raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, looked at Nan Xinuo, and chuckled, "After you say this, that person is indeed a man disguised as a woman." ”
"I think he is not just a man dressed as a woman, judging by his panicked look, he should be hiding from someone. And if a good man doesn't do it, he wants to pretend to be a woman, and the person who wants to hunt him down must be very difficult. ”
Nan Xinuo ate a rock sugar gourd, walked to Yun Shizi's side, glanced at the painting boat on the lake, hooked his lips and chuckled, "However, his disguise technique is not very good!" I can see through it at a glance. ”
As soon as the words fell, Nan Xinuo pulled Yun Shizi to the front, Yun Shizi glanced at the man in Xuan clothes who walked past him, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and accompanied Nan Xinuo to the lake.
In the early morning of the next day, when Nan Xinuo was eating breakfast downstairs, he heard from the people inside that Lord Lin would be interrogated today, and it was specially approved by the emperor to let Murong Li personally interrogate.
Originally, Dali Temple was only responsible for investigating and arresting people, and the Criminal Department was the one who sentenced the case, but Lord Lin's special matter alarmed the imperial court, otherwise His Royal Highness the Prince would not have come to Fuping in person.
Nan Xinuo listened to their discussions, very curious, this Lord Lin's case dragged on for several days, and he didn't expect it to be tried today.
It's just that Lord Lin and the Shu family are in-laws, so Shu Ruozhu doesn't know if he will come, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Fu Ping is also for Lord Lin, so Murong Li and His Royal Highness the Prince will be on the same stage today!
Nan Xinuo hooked his lips and chuckled, these two people should be very interesting on the same stage, so how can such an interesting scene be without me?
The yamen was full of people, all of whom were a little indignant, thinking that such a good official as Lord Lin could collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.
Listening to their noisy discussions, the prefect snapped and asked them to be quiet, there was still some noise, but when they saw the men in Dai clothes coming over, their faces turned pale, and the audience was silent.
When the prefect saw Murong Li coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and only then sat down tremblingly under Murong Li's permission.
As soon as Murong sat down, he saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also coming, the two looked at each other with cold eyes for a second, and the prefect only felt a chill all over his body, trembling and saluting towards Ye Ran Che, helpless for a while, this position did not know how to arrange.
Although Murong Li is the secretary of Dali Temple, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince after all, although Murong Li has the emperor's permission, but the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince is there, how can there be a reason for the prince of a country to be in the lower position!
But Murong Li had no intention of coming down at all. The prefect's back was soaked, and he was in a moment of embarrassment, and he didn't know how to arrange it.
Ye Ran Che just glanced at Murong Li, his cold eyes were not shocked, he only came today for Lord Lin, there were some things he didn't care about, and he didn't want to waste time. But just as he was about to speak, he heard a clear voice with a tone of disdain.
"Today, I've really had a long experience, just a Dali temple can not salute when he sees His Royal Highness the Prince, it's just a matter of not saluting, and he still wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be in the lower position!"
As soon as the voice fell, everyone was startled, and without giving them time to be surprised, the contemptuous voice sounded again.
"Hehehe--this Dali Siqing is really majestic! The crown prince of a country will be under him, maybe one day the emperor will have to look at his face and say things!"
"Hey, by then, I don't know if the world of the night abyss is surnamed Ye? It should still be surnamed Mu! ”
"What!!"
The people at the scene swallowed a mouthful of spit, and they were all shocked, and looked around, trying to find the owner of the voice, to see who was so bold and reckless, and dared to speak like this.
Even Ye Zhanche was slightly surprised, and glanced at the people, the corners of his cold eyebrows moved slightly, his expression was detached, and he didn't say anything.
The prefect almost fell, held his black gauze hat steady, his face turned pale, he looked at Murong Li tremblingly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a trembling voice, "Lord Murong, this ......"
"What kind of person is so bold that he dares to be presumptuous in the government!"
Without waiting for the prefect to speak, He Bi drew his sword and looked at the people in the audience, looked around, but did not find the person who had just spoken.
"What? Am I saying something wrong? A clear and cold voice floated in, "Did your Dali Siqing just salute His Royal Highness the Prince?" Or did he move? ”
"What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't speak, you just ran around in a hurry and barked, hey, Dali Temple is really good, this is not taking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his eyes at all! I don't know who gave you the guts! Isn't it the emperor? ”
Lin Bi's face darkened, and he stared at the people under the stage with wide eyes, but the voice seemed to float down from the sky, and he couldn't tell that it was coming from that direction at all.
"This emperor is really strange! He exalted a courtier to belittle his own son!"
The surrounding people were shocked at first when they heard this, and then they also felt justified and ordered to discuss.
Jin Song was naturally very angry at Murong Li's behavior, although what this person said sounded like it was for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it also made His Highness lose face!
"Your Highness, do you want to ......?"
"No need."
Ye Ran's clear and cold expression did not change, as if everything had nothing to do with him, he sat down very coldly, looked at Murong Li, who was dead and silent, and said in a cold voice, "Today's palace is only used as a jury, and Lord Lin is involved too much, so this complicated etiquette will be avoided, Lord Murong should announce Lord Lin first." ”
Hearing the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the discussion on the scene became smaller, and they all looked at Murong Li.
Murong Li's cold and dead eyes seemed to be glowing with frost, his face was cold, he looked at the people in the audience, his cold eyes condensed, and a cold voice sounded, "Bring Lord Lin up." ”
"County Lord, this Murong Li doesn't even care about us." A gentle and somewhat cold voice sounded, and I saw a handsome young man holding a sword in his hand, looking at the elegant son beside him.
This handsome young man is Qiulan who dresses as a man, and the handsome son next to her is Nan Xinuo, but his appearance has changed.
"Hmph, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, can he still care about me? Unless he wants to take my word for it. Nan Xinuo sneered, "However, my words just now have already made the people dissatisfied, after all, compared to Murong Li's god of death, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is loved by everyone, is still more popular with the people!" Naturally, they will be on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's side!"
Seeing Lin Xuan, Lord Lin, Nan Xinuo was slightly surprised, except for his mental malaise, he was not injured anywhere on his body, and his clothes were clean, not like a person who had been lynched.
The prefect laid out a piece of evidence and forced Lin Xuan to interrogate, and several witnesses were also reported, all of whom were Lin Xuan's subordinates.
Listening to their well-founded words, Lin Xuan knelt on the ground with a calm demeanor, and never said a word, nor did Murong Li and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speak.
Nan Xinuo frowned slightly, the evidence looked conclusive, and there were witnesses, but those people were obviously trembling when they spoke, and they looked like they were lying.
Although there are letters and Lin Xuan's seals, the handwriting can be imitated, and the chapters can also be stolen, so it is absurd to be convicted in this way.
However, with this person's physical evidence, it is inevitable that he will not be able to convict.
Murong Li could naturally see it, and he treated these flaws coldly, obviously wanting to dispose of Lin Xuan.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here because of Lord Lin, he is so calm, is there any evidence?
"County Lord, look, the woman with the cloak is not a girl?" Qiu Lan suddenly caught a glimpse of the green-clothed cloak woman in front of her, frowning slightly, and the more she looked at her back, the more familiar she felt.
Nan Xinuo was originally thinking about Lin Xuan's case, but when he heard Qiu Lan talk about Shu Ruozhu, he was slightly surprised, looked in the direction pointed by Qiu Lan, and fixed his eyes, and sure enough, it was Shu Ruozhu.
She glanced at the surroundings and did not look unusual, so she walked towards Shu Ruozhu, patted Shu Ruozhu's shoulder lightly, and saw that she was holding a short knife and looking at herself vigilantly, Nan Xinuo hooked her lips and chuckled, and said softly, "I am your wife." ”
