Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned, she couldn't stand the fact that others treated her well without asking for anything in return. This kind of gratuitous dedication is similar to giving.

"Sit down." Jiang Zhiyuan said softly and dragged her back to the saddle.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Zhiyuan's expression with a slight side face, and a warmth welled up in his heart. This must be what it feels like to be loved. The two rode out of the outskirts of the city, and Jiang Zhiyuan sent Guo Xiaoxiao back to Yuan's mansion without the slightest intention of covering up and avoiding it.

Even if he was seen by the maids and family members of the Yuan Mansion, Jiang Zhiyuan still did not hesitate.

"I've arrived." Guo Xiaoxiao dismounted and looked at him, "You go back." ”

"If the people of the Yuan Mansion dare to embarrass you, you must not endure it." Jiang Zhiyuan told her, "Swallow your anger, this is not the style of the eldest lady of the Guo family." ”

"I see."

Jiang Zhiyuan got on the horse, looked at Guo Xiaoxiao for a while, and then left. Jiang Zhiyuan sent her back so blatantly, which was inevitably criticized. There were one or two quick-mouthed ones who had already come to Mrs. Yuan to reveal the matter.

Guo Xiaoxiao has no time to take care of it, this is already the second day of Yuan Shaocheng's imprisonment, and it will be the third day soon. It is strange that Mrs. Yuan did not get angry.

Guo Xiaoxiao was worried that the officials would treat Yuan Shaocheng harshly, so he personally went to the kitchen to cook a meal for Yuan Shaocheng. Guo Xiaoxiao's process from entering the inner hall to entering the prison where Yuan Shaocheng was held was smooth and unimpeded. She thought to herself, this should be Jiang Zhiyuan's instructions.

The prison was dim and damp, and there was a smell of decay. Guo Xiaoxiao took out a handkerchief and went in to cover his mouth and nose. When the prisoners inside saw Guo Xiaoxiao and Dong Can, they all stretched out their hands in the prison and asked Guo Xiaoxiao for help.

"Girl, girl, help!" An old man in ragged clothes suddenly grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao's ankle.

Guo Xiaoxiao was so frightened that he shouted: "I, I can't save you." ”

"I have been wronged, girl, and have mercy on me." The old man saw that Guo Xiaoxiao was struggling hard, so he stretched out his other hand and grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao together.

Dong Can was also scared enough, and scolded the old man to take his hand away. However, the old man is like a sticky paste, he just can't shake it off.

"Boom!" The sound of the sword unsheathed poured into the ears of several people. A shiny sword flew into the air on the old man's wrist.

"Let her go!" There was anger in his calm and powerful voice.

The old man looked up and saw Jiang Zhiyuan frowning coldly, holding a long sword in his hand and staring at him like a grim reaper. The old man stumbled, fell to the ground, and quickly shrank into the corner of the wall, begging for mercy.

Jiang Zhiyuan tried prisoners on weekdays, and he personally carried out many tortures, and the prisoners were terrified of him.

"Let's go inside." Jiang Zhiyuan took back the long sword and said to Guo Xiaoxiao, "The prison is not complete, and the environment is not good, don't delay too much time." ”

"Hmm." Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at him, and then took Dong Can in.

After turning a corner, Guo Xiaoxiao finally saw the cell where Yuan Shaocheng was held. Yuan Shaocheng changed into prison clothes and sat on the wooden bed with his head drooped.

"Ah Cheng." Guo Xiaoxiao shouted through the cell door.

Yuan Shaocheng heard this familiar voice, and hurriedly walked to the side to talk to Guo Xiaoxiao: "Why are you here?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao lay on the cell door, and after the official opened the door, Guo Xiaoxiao immediately rushed in and held Yuan Shaocheng's hand.

"I was worried that you would be cold and starving, so I brought you some food and cotton clothes." Guo Xiaoxiao called Dong Can over and offered the things.

"How did you get in?" Yuan Shaocheng only cares about this.

"Well, it's just some silver." Guo Xiaoxiao put on Yuan Shaocheng's cotton clothes, and put the food on the small table, "It's not a difficult thing." ”

Yuan Shaocheng picked up the rice bowl and suddenly felt that his nose was sour, but he had to hold back, and he must not show a little weakness in front of Guo Xiaoxiao.

"It's still hot, try it." Guo Xiaoxiao smiled, seeing that he didn't move, Guo Xiaoxiao grabbed the spoon and fed him personally.

"I'll do it myself." Yuan Shaocheng politely refused. He is not sick or disabled, so he should be fed by her herself.

"I'll do it anyway." Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly felt some pain in his heart, "I can do more for you, so let's do more." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao was very tough, and Yuan Shaocheng had no choice but to accept it.

Guo Xiaoxiao said while feeding him: "Your case, Lord Jiang will find out." We're doing things innocently, and we'll be out of prison soon. ”

"The current situation is complicated, I don't know when the Zheng family was the black hand." Yuan Shaocheng swallowed and ate, and said, "The Zheng family dragged the family with their mouths, old and young, with the same qi and branches, and I insisted that I made it." I can't get out of my body now to look for evidence, and I have to worry. ”

"It's going to be fine, you can't get out, aren't there still me? I will never let them frame you for no reason. ”

Yuan Shaocheng sighed: "The Zheng family's physical evidence is insufficient, so it can't be convicted." It's just that Zheng's mother was involved in my father's affairs, and the case became complicated. ”

"There are some things I want to ask you too." Guo Xiaoxiao said tentatively.

"Are you concerned about my father?"

"Hmm."

Yuan Shaocheng took a few steps forward, and thought for a while before telling the whole story: "Seventeen years ago, my father was a famous doctor in Yangzhou, and everyone said that my father hung a pot to help the world, and he was the reincarnation of Huatuo. Until one time, my father visited a woman who was pregnant with Rokka. Due to the misdiagnosis of the wrong medicine, the woman had a slippage. The woman also died of blood loss. ”

"So, my father-in-law became a murderer? Is what Zheng's mother said true? ”

"Yes." Yuan Shaocheng was very frank, "Although it was a misdiagnosis, it hurt people's lives, and my father couldn't argue." At that time, Mr. Jiang had just taken office, and the case was so difficult that Mr. Jiang could not make a decision for a long time, so he could only temporarily detain my father. The people divided into two factions to argue about my father's affairs, and my father committed suicide in prison in order not to embarrass Jiang Daren. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao frowned: "It turns out that this is the reason why you have always refused to come to see a doctor for others." ”

"A healer must have a good heart and a generous word." Yuan Shaocheng turned around, "However, doctors often can't protect themselves. Seeing a doctor for others, without hesitation. If something goes wrong, there is no turning back. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao knew what he meant, it was indeed difficult for a doctor to do. How many times I tried the medicine myself, but I still can't avoid small mistakes. There are times when the Son of Heaven makes mistakes in governing the country, let alone ordinary people! Because healers hold human lives in their hands, there is zero tolerance for healers' mistakes. One mistake, a hundred times not used.

"I know, Cheng didn't make a mistake this time, right?" Guo Xiaoxiao looked at his face, "The Zheng family has been planning for a long time, and Ah Cheng was framed, right?" ”

"Do you believe me?" Yuan Shaocheng put his hands on her shoulders.

"Of course, you are my husband and the person I trust the most." Her eyes were steadfast.

"Xiaoxiao." Yuan Shaocheng hugged her into his arms and was very grateful, "Thank you." ”

"It's all a family, thank you for what!" Guo Xiaoxiao stroked his back, "I don't allow you to say such things." ”

Just when the two hugged each other and had a lot of words before they finished speaking, the official came to urge: "It's time, Madame, let's go." ”

"Little brother, please give me more time." As he spoke, Dong Can stuffed the silver taels into the hands of the officials.

The official pushed Dong Can's hand back: "You guys go quickly, don't embarrass me." If the top of the city came to check on people, it would be difficult for me to do it. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao let go of Yuan Shaocheng and instructed: "Then I'll go, you have to take care of yourself, don't catch a cold, I will definitely save you out." ”

"Don't worry." Yuan Shaocheng let go of Guo Xiaoxiao's hand and watched her leave the cell.

Guo Xiaoxiao and Dong Can quickly left the prison with their things and came out through the inner hall. After walking a few steps, he was stopped by another person.

"Mrs. Yuan."

Guo Xiaoxiao looked back and saw a maid hiding in the corner and calling her. Guo Xiaoxiao looked around at no one and walked over.

The maid said softly: "The master is waiting for you in the dark room of the inner hall, and let the slave and maid invite you over." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes, not daring to believe her words.

The maid took out another leaf and handed it to Guo Xiaoxiao: "The master said, if you don't want to come, I'll give this to you." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao took the leaf and looked at it, and said in his heart, this is the leaf of the pear tree! They used to play under the pear tree, and the pear tree was their token.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhiyuan knew her and knew that she was thoughtful, very guarded against people, and unwilling to trust others easily.

In this way, Guo Xiaoxiao asked Dong Can to stay outside the inner hall, and he followed him into the inner hall. This place is getting darker and darker, Guo Xiaoxiao is a little worried, and he wanted to return several times during the period, but he didn't leave.

The maid walked into the secluded study, twisted the lampstand, and heard a rumbling sound, and the bookshelf against the wall was opened.

I didn't expect this bookshelf to be a wall.

The maid said, "Young Lady Yuan, please." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and walked in. There was another rumbling sound, and the maid closed the door. Guo Xiaoxiao panicked and turned around sharply to knock on the door.

"Hey, who are you?" Guo Xiaoxiao shouted, "Dare to detain me, you don't want to die?" ”

Just as Guo Xiaoxiao was banging on the stone door, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"She's my person."

"Cousin!" Guo Xiaoxiao looked back, his eyebrows furrowed, "What are you doing, mysterious and secretive?" ”

"Shh Jiang Zhiyuan made a silent gesture, "The stakes are very high, so I have to bring you to this place as a last resort." Don't shout, if you recruit my father, then Yuan Shaocheng will be hopeless. ”

"He was wronged!" Guo Xiaoxiao emphasized, "How is your case investigated? ”

"I'm here to tell you about it." Jiang Zhiyuan walked to the desk in the secret room.

"Is there already a result?" Guo Xiaoxiao followed anxiously.

"Don't worry, just have some eyebrows." Jiang Zhiyuan picked up the Zheng family's complaint and handed it to Guo Xiaoxiao, "Look at this." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao took a closer look and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"Nope."

"No problem, what can you do for me?" Guo Xiaoxiao threw the complaint back on the desk.

"No problem is a problem." Jiang Zhiyuan turned around and leaned against the edge of the desk, "I interrogated Zheng Xianggong's mother and mother, and found that Zheng Yue's statement is the same as this complaint, but Zheng's mother is different. ”

"How?"

"At first, what Zheng's mother said felt like it was according to the complaint, but when I asked her some details, she couldn't answer. Either they say that they can't remember clearly, or they make it up nonsense, and the preface does not match the afterword. ”
