As soon as she heard Yan Yingzhou's voice, Mrs. Yan hurriedly wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Has Xiaozhou had breakfast?" ”

"Just came back from the Yamen," Yan Yingzhou sat down at the table, "came directly to see grandma." ”

Mrs. Yan smiled with relief: "That's just right, you can't add a pair of chopsticks to the left and right, you can stay and eat with grandma." ”

The subordinate hurriedly stepped forward and added a pair of dishes and chopsticks.

"Xiao Zhou, you didn't sleep all night last night, did you? Look at you, your eyes are red, alas. ”

Ruan Si secretly glanced at him, only to see that his eyes were bloodshot, and his jaw had a circle of blue stubble, and he looked a little more tired than usual.

Yan Yingzhou smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry." ”

Old Madam Yan hurriedly ordered: "Why don't you add a bowl of porridge to the second young master?" ”

The servant was about to pick up the bowl in front of him, but was stopped by a look from him.

"Madam," Yan Yingzhou handed the bowl to Ruan Si, "I'm tired." ”

Ruan Si gritted his teeth, took the bowl of porridge for him, and forced out a smile and said, "Husband is polite." ”

Mrs. Yan saw that the two husbands and wives were harmonious, and she was also relieved a lot.

"Xiaozhou, you've been so busy these days that your feet don't touch the ground, and grandma rarely sees you. Are there some more criminals in the prison? ”

"Well, just finished the trial."

Old Madam Yan felt sorry for him and sighed: "In this poor and remote country, why did a bad guy come out again in three days?" ”

"It's Jia Shan."

Yan Yingzhou answered competently, but Old Madam Yan gasped.

"Small continent! How did you lock up that demon king? His godfather is not a good thing to get along with. ”

Last time, Second Master Zhong made a big fuss at the Yan family and scared Mrs. Yan unconscious on the spot.

The old man still felt terrified when he thought of the bloody head.

Yan Yingzhou said lightly: "He made a mistake." ”

"What did Grandma tell you before?" Mrs. Yan said hurriedly, "Grandma wants you to protect your life wisely, not to seek meritorious service, and not to risk yourself." ”

Yan Yingzhou replied: "I just did my duty. ”

Old Madam Yan shook her head and said, "You forgot all about grandma's words, grandma said that you should not take risks, but you just didn't listen?" ”

"I'll listen."

"Then you shouldn't forget your grandmother's words, let alone how your father died!"

After Mrs. Yan finished speaking, she coughed violently.

Yan Yingzhou lowered his head and drank the porridge, pulled Ruan Si up and said, "Grandma, let's go down first." ”

"Husband?" Ruan Si saw that the situation was not good.

Mrs. Yan covered her mouth and was still coughing, and Mama gave her a slap on her back, and both looked at him worriedly.

"Grandma doesn't have to worry."

Yan Yingzhou pulled Ruan Si to his side, "Jia Shan is dead. ”

"I can't control you, I can't control you......"

Old Madam Yan muttered distractedly, and Yan Yingzhou pulled Ruan Si out of the house quickly.

After walking away, Ruan Si immediately withdrew his wrist.

"You're tired, go back to your room and rest."

Yan Yingzhou looked back at her deeply, "You know everything about Jia Shan." ”

How could she not know?

It was he who ordered someone to put her into the dark room, and let her listen to Xun County's order and Yao Yu to extract a confession throughout the whole process.

Ruan Si said quickly: "If you want to take the opportunity to let me know what a ruthless person Yao Yu is, then you don't have to be like this. ”

Yan Yingzhou let out a "hmm", and his thin lips pursed slightly.

"I'm stupid, and it's my fault that I've been told by him."

Ruan thought about the events in the Guanyin Temple, and remembered the dispute between her and Yan Yingzhou, and inevitably felt a little embarrassed.

"I'll be smarter next time."

She said for a long time, but he didn't even lift his eyelids.

Ruan Si sighed and said, "There is nothing on the side." Are you okay? ”

"It's nothing," Yan Yingzhou looked at her face, "It's just that there have been people in the prison I am in charge of." ”

His tone seemed to be understatement, but his eyes flashed with strange emotions.

Ruan Si had no choice but to say: "Isn't your big prison called a 'small underground house' by outsiders? ”

"Even so, life and death should not be decided by one person."

She was slightly startled in her heart, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Originally, she thought that the decision to execute Jia Shan was made by Yan Yingzhou, Xun County Ling and others.

Yan Yingzhou said in a low voice: "Although it is someone else who has broken the law first, but when the punishment is released, it is ruled by the law, who is qualified to transgress the law?" ”

"But Jia Shan is innocent of death." Ruan Si muttered quietly.

"Yes," Yan Yingzhou said, "Rao is his crime and should be punished, and his crime should be punished first, so that he can be subdued and the world can be revealed." ”

Ruan Si shook his head and said: "I don't understand those big truths, but I know that if you make a mistake, you have to admit your mistake and bear the consequences for your mistakes." ”

"Forget it," Yan Yingzhou smiled bitterly, "I arrested the person, and I tried the trial, what am I doing with you?" ”

In her previous life, she only knew that Dingbohou was ruthless, thinking that he would do everything, but she didn't know if he would care about whether the law enforcement was fair.

Ruan Si muttered: "Extraordinary means should be used to deal with extraordinary people. ”

Yan Yingzhou smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I have interrogated Jia Shan and pulled out all the words in his stomach, and he really has nothing to do with this matter." ”

"But I have enough testimony to convict him."

Ruan Si was silent.

The two stood under the eaves of the porch, quietly looking at the grass and trees outside the porch.

"Jojo, I have never forgotten my father's teachings."

With the rustle of the leaves blown by the wind, Yan Yingzhou's voice sounded a little hoarse.

Ruan Si couldn't help but look up at him.

He whispered, "My father taught me to be an upright person and always be in awe of the laws of the court. ”

He said that there are thousands of ways to achieve an end, but that bottom line must not be crossed at any time.

"My father," he said, "his bottom line is the law. On his deathbed, he said that he would never regret being like that for the rest of his life. ”

Yan Yingzhou lowered her eyes and asked her, "Qiaoqiao, in your opinion, is this very pedantic?" ”

"It's not."

Ruan Si replied: "Everyone has a bottom line in their hearts. Where you set the bottom line, that's where it is, it's not pedantic. ”

"I sometimes wonder if my bottom line has to be the same as my father's."

Yan Yingzhou's smile was a little bitter, "If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future." ”

Ruan Si nodded, shook his head again and said, "What do you care about, then you will defend it, you don't have to think about anything else." ”

Yan Yingzhou looked at her fixedly, his eyes shining slightly, as if he had been rubbed into a fine piece of starlight.

"I see, ma'am."

It was the first time for Ruan Si to say so many things to him seriously, and she always felt that Yan Yingzhou was not the same as she thought.

"Alright, I'll go back to my room first."

She was just about to leave, but was stopped by Yan Yingzhou, "What happened last time...... Are you still mad at me? ”

Ruan Si smiled and shook his head.

"I only have one brain and one heart, and it's too late to think about happy things, and there's no reason to stuff my brain with unhappy things."

"I, Ruan Si, don't want to be a resentful woman in this life."

Yan Yingzhou's eyes softened, and he said lightly: "Well, I won't let you have a grudge in your heart." ”

Ruan Si smiled: "Although you had a hard mouth last time, you caught the thief who kidnapped your sister-in-law, of course I don't blame you." ”

"Qiao Qiao," Yan Yingzhou's expression froze, "Do you think that what they want to arrest is the eldest lady of the Yan family?" ”
