Chapter 37: Wounded

Lord Shang Shu pulled the collar of his clothes, although it was about to enter the May day, the wind was still a little cool this night.

The rest of the yamen had already gone down to the yamen, and there was no other sound in the small courtyard except for the sound of the wind, Lord Shangshu frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked outside the courtyard wall, but, except for the dark night, he really couldn't see anything.

"Bang-" There was a faint sound of beating outside the courtyard, it was already early hours, and in half an hour, the people he was waiting for should arrive, but Lord Shangshu always felt a little uneasy.

"Lu Yun, you go to the cell and have a look." He said to the guards behind him.

"Yes." Lu Yun came out of the shadows and quickly disappeared from the sight of Lord Shangshu.

Master Shang Shu glanced a few more times in the direction of the cell, then turned around and walked back to the official room.

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, Lu Yun returned.

"Is there anything unusual?" Master Shangshu sat behind his desk and leaned forward as he asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, everything is normal over there." Lu Yun's voice was very calm, making it easy to trust his judgment.

"Oh! That's good. Lord Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to let Lu Yun go down first, and then put his body back into the chair, leaned his back against the chair, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Ning Shuang and Xiaoru changed into two dark men's clothes, did not drive, and left the Xia Mansion at night, Qin Moyu was already waiting at the intersection one step ahead of them.

After saying hello, several people did not delay much, and hurried all the way to the criminal department.

Lord Shang Shu had already arranged for someone to wait at the door, and led them directly to the official room.

"Your Highness!" Master Shang Shu got up to salute Qin Moyu, and looked at Ning Shuang a few times with sideways eyes.

"Lord Feng!" Ning Shuang looked at Lord Shangshu's gaze, did not move, and took a step forward and greeted lightly.

"Let's go." Qin Moyu took the lead and walked out of the door.

Several people went to the cell silently all the way, and when they arrived at the door of the cell, a cell boss bowed down to greet them, and Lord Shangshu sent people down, and asked Lu Yun to carry a small lantern in front of him to lead the way.

The cell was dimly lit and the air was humid, and several people slowly walked into the narrow passage, which was very quiet, and only the slight footsteps of each other could be heard.

About twenty or thirty meters inside, two jailers came from the inside, the two of them came closer, saw the official uniform on Lord Shangshu's body, hurriedly bowed, and then stood aside and waited, and after they walked over, the two jailers straightened up and walked out.

Ning Shuang took a few steps forward, and glanced back at the two jailers thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Qin Moyu saw her looking back, and also glanced back, but he didn't feel anything wrong, and asked suspiciously.

"It's fine!" Frost shook her head and continued walking.

When the two of them passed by just now, Ning Shuang always felt a little weird, but for a while, he didn't know where the weirdness came from, and when he looked back, he didn't notice anything.

Lord Shangshu also looked back, and felt that the restless mood before seemed to climb up again.

But in this criminal department, which was all under his control, he really couldn't think of anything worth worrying about.

Several people suppressed their thoughts and continued to move forward in silence, but the more they went inside, the more they felt that the air was dull, as if it was stagnant.

The cells of the criminal department were larger, and the Qiu family was imprisoned in the women's prison on the north side, and several people turned all the way through a few right angles and a few doors, and only then did they see two rows of low cells.

Qiu was alone in a cell inside, and when he reached the door of the cell, he saw Qiu huddled in a corner of the cell, hanging his head as if he was asleep.

Ning Shuang took a step forward, looked at the figure inside through the fence door of the prison cell, and called in a low voice: "Sister Gu! ”

Qiu Shi heard the movement, his body moved, then slowly raised his head, slowly turned his face to look this way, and after looking at them fixedly, he showed a sad smile.

Qiu's smile pierced Ning Shuang's eyes with pain, and he was a little afraid to look at her like that.

Lord Shang Shu motioned for Lu Yun to open the prison door.

Ning Shuang bent down and entered the prison cell, Qin Moyu and Xiaoru followed closely and also got in, and Lord Shang Shu stood at the door of the cell and waited.

Qiu still curled up in the corner and didn't move, watching Frost walk towards her step by step.

"Sister Gu!"

Frost's voice was low and soft, and she crouched down in front of Qiu, looked at her visibly thinner figure, and reached out to her, trying to hold her hands.

No one noticed that Qiu's right hand hanging to the side moved, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

Watching Ning Shuang's outstretched hand slowly enlarge in his eyes, the smile in Qiu's eyes became weird, and the palm hanging by his side finally flipped violently, and slapped it towards Ning Shuang's heart quickly and fiercely, and the breath of the whole person also changed suddenly, and the cold air around Qiu Shi stirred the surrounding air a little colder, and Qiu Shi slipped his body to the side while slapping out his right hand......

"Frost-" Qin Moyu, who was beside Ning Shuang, suddenly changed color on his face, and he screamed violently, and kicked towards Qiu when Qiu's palm was raised......

Ning Shuang and Qiu Shi were too close, and everything only happened in an instant, she didn't have time to react too much, she only forced her body to the side, narrowly avoiding the vital point, but she still felt a pain under her right shoulder, and red blood stains spilled out......

Qin Moyu panicked in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to check on her situation.

Xiaoru was also shocked here, and stepped forward, after the Qiu clan was kicked by Qin Moyu, he quickly turned over and got up, and when he saw Xiaoru attacking, he smiled strangely and greeted him.

Lord Shangshu outside the prison cell didn't expect a sudden change inside, so he was busy asking Lu Yun to go in to help while calling people.

"Go after those two jailers, quick!" Ning Shuang stood up with Qin Moyu holding her hand, not caring about anything else, and urged urgently.

Qin Moyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.

"Lord Feng, immediately let Guard Lu lead people to chase the two jailers just now, go quickly!" Without waiting for Lu Yun to come in, Qin Moyu commanded Lord Shangshu outside the prison cell.

"This?" The person who can sit in the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is naturally not a stupid person, at this time, Qin Moyu was so eager to let him chase people, he naturally immediately thought that the two people just now must be inseparable from what is happening here, but His Royal Highness King Rui is still in the prison cell.......

Lord Shangshu's hesitation didn't last long, Qin Moyu had already helped Ning Shuang to the door of the prison cell, and then saw that the Qiu family had already been entangled by Xiaoru, and there was no chance to get out and hurt people at all, without waiting for Qin Moyu to urge again, he had already ordered Lu Yun to chase him out.

"How? Does it matter? Qin Moyu helped Ning Shuang to sit down on the steps outside the cell, looking nervous, and there was no hidden panic in his tone.
