Along the way, Zhao Hanqing seemed a little distracted.

It wasn't until the two of them successfully arrived outside the death row that he said softly: "It's only a quarter of an hour, and I can't be sure that I will hide it for a long time." ”

"Thank you, cousin." Zhao Chen said politely, and walked inside with the jailer waiting in the distance.

There was an air of despair on death row, after all, there was nothing left for the people here to do but wait for death.

Looking at those familiar looks, Zhao Chen couldn't help but purse her lips, and it wasn't until the jailer opened one of the rooms that she returned to her normal color and walked in.

In the corner was a man cowering, his hair disheveled and covered in blood, unresponsive to approaching footsteps.

"Yue Hui?" Zhao Chen leaned in and shouted.

The other party moved, and then a swollen face was lifted from the messy hair, and it took a long time for his eyes to be focused, and he said in a dumb voice: "I really didn't kill him-"

Zhao Chen looked at the other party's vaguely recognizable handsomeness, and rolled his eyes a little awkwardly.

Why does a good-looking man have to make a pair with another good-looking man, if so, where will she find a good-looking man in the future?

"I know I'm here to save you." She put away her thoughts and sat down beside Yue Hui, and asked softly, "My name is Zhao Chen, I don't know if Cui'er has mentioned it to you?" ”

Yue Hui squinted his eyes and looked at her for a while, as if he was confirming something, and then said after a long time: "He said that you took good care of him and treated him well, very... Like him. ”

"Don't think about it, Cui'er and I are just friends." Zhao Chen explained casually.

In fact, she didn't go for Cui'er's posture in the first place, and approached him for another thing entirely-

"Is Cui'er's jade pendant there?"

Since he found that the jade pendant was missing, and learned that the other party had been communicating with Cui'er, Zhao Chen had this conjecture.

Yue Huo was stunned for a moment, and a look of defensiveness instantly rose on his face.

As soon as he saw him like this, Zhao Chen understood that he had guessed correctly, and said directly: "Give it to me, and I will save you out." ”

"Why do you want that?" Yue Huo looked at her coldly, "If you don't explain it, even if you kill it, you won't get anything." ”

Zhao Chen didn't understand his threat, and quickly asked, "Who else asked you about Yu Pei?" ”

Seeing that he didn't mean to answer at all, Zhao Chen lowered his face: "You should also know that the murderer has not been found yet, and that jade pendant is likely to be the motive!" ”

Yue Huo suddenly remembered something, his face changed several times, and he muttered in distraction: "That's why he said that, it turns out, it turns out that this is the case, I actually thought-"

He suddenly hid his face and sobbed incessantly, but he couldn't make a sound.

Zhao Chen asked helplessly: "Did Cui'er already notice that someone was going to kill him?" ”

"He told me not to contact him again, and told me to leave Pingyang and walk far away." Yue Huo couldn't help but cry bitterly, "I thought he... He doesn't want me anymore. ”

"You came to the capital to ask him to understand?"

"I don't believe he's so ruthless! But I didn't dare to face him, so I had to hide in the inn and wait for the opportunity, but I didn't expect..."

"Who else has asked about the jade pendant?"

"I don't know who he is, he came to the rescue when the people of the Six Princes chased and killed me, and later helped us deliver letters, on the condition that he just glance at the jade pendant."

"Cui'er gave it to him?"

"Yes, Ah Ling..."Yue Huo lowered his head, "that is, Cui'er, he was afraid that the man would hurt me, but after the man saw it, he just copied it and gave it back to us." ”

"When? Have you ever seen each other's looks? Is it male or female? ”

"Last winter, it was a man, but he was wearing a hat all the time, and I just remember that he had a raised scar on the back of his left waist, like... Branded. ”

Zhao Chen pondered silently for a while, and involuntarily overlapped Meng Yong and the hat man in his mind, and asked for a long time: "Can you tell me where the things are now?" ”

"It was left by his father, and it was also our promise, and Ah Ling said that it would cause great disaster, so we buried it." He suddenly whispered, "That man killed him?" ”

Zhao Chen thought about it, but said patiently: "Things are more complicated than you think, Cui'er's life experience, and that jade pendant, involve a lot of things, but don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter." ”

Yue Huo looked at the ground in a daze: "Ah Ling said that you are a good person, I hope he is not wrong." ”

Zhao Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Good? Maybe!

Yue Huo didn't ask any more questions, stretched out his blood-stained fingertips, and scratched them on the mud floor.

Zhao Chen stared at the simple map that was gradually taking shape, and he didn't know what he was thinking, until the other party withdrew his hand and called her.

She silently memorized the map, got up and advised: "You have to be cautious when eating recently, the six princes will not sit idly by and watch you get out, take care of yourself, there is always justice in this world." With that, she left the silver needle and dagger and turned and walked out of the cell.

A little light suddenly rose in Yue Hui's deathly gray eyes, and he knocked on the ground with difficulty: "The Xiao family is not dead... Thank you. ”

After getting out of the prison, Zhao Chen walked silently.

Zhao Hanqing stared at her for a while and asked, "Are you worried about Yue Hui's case?" ”

Zhao Chen grinned: "I heard that there are all the human and material evidence, and I can't worry about it!" ”

"Shi'an, don't hide it from me." He looked very serious, "I can help you as long as you need it." ”

Zhao Chen was stunned, she never believed in kindness for no reason, although she could feel that Zhao Hanqing was not an enemy, but this did not mean that she could be honestly punished.

Utilization and trust are always two different things.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Zhao Hanqing said helplessly: "You and I are brothers, I should help you." ”

Zhao Chen smiled noncommittally: "You and the sixth brother are also brothers. ”

His bright eyebrows and eyes suddenly dimmed, and he gave birth to a look that Zhao Chen couldn't understand, and it took a while to retract it.

"Brothers are also separated." His dark eyes were full of coldness, and he said slowly: "What's more, I always believe that you didn't lie about that incident back then." ”

Zhao Chen was really surprised: "How can you be sure that I'm not lying?" You must know that even His Majesty believed his words, thinking that I was talking nonsense because I had broken my leg. ”

"I've been tracking it down all these years, and believe me, none of the people who hurt you can escape—"

"Why?" Zhao Chen twisted his eyebrows to interrupt him.

His tense edges and corners suddenly softened, and he said a little distractedly: "Of course I, as a brother, must protect you." ”

Zhao Chen was not only surprised at the moment, but simply terrifying.

This sudden brotherly affection really caught her off guard, making her whole body stiffen for a moment.

Zhao Hanqing put his hand on her shoulder lightly, and said softly: "No matter what others do to you, it doesn't mean everything, come to me if you need help." ”

Watching the other party disappear into the corner of the street, she frowned in disbelief, and then brushed her shoulder, which still seemed to have warmth, and it took a long time to suppress her thoughts.

was about to leave, but suddenly there was a loud roar in the distance-
