Zhu Youning carefully recalled the scene in front of the prison of the Criminal Department, and said uncertainly: "I don't really see it, but that person seems to be wearing an official uniform?" If it were Lord Shen, he would not wear an official uniform when he accompanied his uncle to Jiang's house. ”

Steward Yan closed his eyes and recalled, and finally nodded: "Young Master Biao is right, it is indeed an official uniform." Maybe it's Lord Zhao? ”

"Possibly." Zhu Youning pursed his lips, Jinyi Wei had to do an errand by the will of the saint, and he had always acted in a domineering manner, and it was possible that they seriously injured Zhao Yuanwailang.

Moreover, this may also be the order of God.

Zhao Yuanwailang is just a vanguard of Jiang Ge Lao and the group of conservative ministers behind him, subject to that large group of ministers, if he doesn't even dare to move, wouldn't the saint be too shameless?

The saint also wants to save face, at least show his attitude, and those ministers clearly understand whether what they are doing has touched the bottom line of the saint.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youning stood up and said, "Steward Yan, I have a few suggestions, you can listen to them." ”

"Young Master Cousin, please speak." Steward Yan respectfully and gratefully saluted Zhu Youning.

At the critical moment, Zhu Youning, a little girl, hid without fear, and did not pack up and move out quickly as soon as she returned to the Bofu to avoid being implicated, and she had already rented enough to make Steward Yan sigh in her heart.

Now she is willing to say some suggestions, that is, she does not plan to stay out of the matter, which makes Steward Yan, who regards Yan Sui as a relative, particularly moved.

Zhu Youning smiled and said bluntly: "The first is to appease the people in the mansion. I don't think these subordinates in the uncle's mansion are necessarily brought from Guangzhou Mansion, right? If it is bought temporarily, it must be appeased, lest something happen to someone to arrest him. ”

"That's what you said." Steward Yan nodded seriously.

"The second thing is to order someone to quietly go to Lord Shen's mansion to see the situation, to see if Lord Shen has returned to the house, I think if Lord Shen has no problem and there is no threat to his life, with his closeness to the uncle, he should have rushed to the uncle's mansion as soon as possible, but he didn't."

"Yes." Steward Yan nodded again, not even noticing that his eyes were becoming more and more deferential when he looked at Zhu Youning.

Zhu Youning continued: "The third is that we have to prepare and go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to visit the prison and give it a try. In my guess, the Holy Lord will not do anything to the uncle, but what is the intention of the Holy One, we have to test it to know. ”

Steward Yan was stunned.

If they are allowed to enter the prison now, or even allow them to carry things, it means that the Holy Lord will at least not do black hands to the uncle in the Jinyi Guard Yamen. If they are allowed to ask Yan Sui for a doctor, it will be even more revealing.

Steward Yan used to only think that the uncle kept in touch with this little girl, out of empathy for Zhu Youning's hard work.

After a long time, I feel that maybe the uncle has some appreciation and admiration for Zhu Youning.

Now Steward Yan understands what qualities Zhu Youning has that attracts Yan Sui.

"Okay, you rest for a while, and I'll go down and make arrangements." Steward Yan bowed respectfully and retreated, with a completely convinced attitude.

Zhu Youning noticed the change in Steward Yan, and he just smiled, and called a few people he brought with him and instructed: "From now on, you must not only guard the Xinxue Garden where we live, but also pay attention to the movements inside and outside the house, try to keep a low profile, don't cause trouble, and tell me immediately if there is any situation." ”

Several people nodded in response.

Zhu Youning asked Thrush and Bai Ling to prepare some medicine and clothes, and also called Yan Fei to find Yan Sui's clothes, planning to bring them to Yan Sui to change.

Steward Yan was quick and quickly prepared everything.

Zhu Youning was draped in a thick cotton coat, took Dou Wanwan and the father and son of the Dou family, and followed Steward Yan to the Fusi Yamen in Jinyi Weibei Town.

By this time it was already dark, and snow was falling outside. There were not many pedestrians on the streets, and the grunt of the wheels colliding with the stone bricks as the carriage galloped and the sound of horses' hooves made people feel particularly irritated.

Zhu Youning hugged the hand warmer and lowered his eyes to think about what to do next.

She couldn't have imagined that such a thing would happen just by coming to the capital for a wedding drink. Yan Sui's groom didn't make it, not only was he cuckolded, but he was also murdered.

Zhu Youning was very worried that the Holy Lord would give up on Yan Sui. Although she was sure with Steward Yan just now, it was also to give Steward Yan some hope, lest those people lose their backbone and ignore the master who was arrested. But in fact, she has no bottom in her own heart.

I was worried all the way, and it seemed that I arrived at the Jinyi Guard Yamen in the blink of an eye.

The carriage stopped, and Steward Yan couldn't wait to knock on the door.

Zhu Youning took Dou Wanwan's hand and jumped out of the carriage.

Dou Junzhang and Dou Zhiyi stood behind Zhu Youning on the left and right, tense and vigilant around them.

Zhu Youning pursed her lips and looked at Steward Yan in front of the door negotiating with people, and when she saw Steward Yan turning around and nodding to them with a smile, the stone in her heart suddenly fell to the ground.

"How?" Zhu Youning walked forward quickly and asked.

Steward Yan had relaxed a lot at this moment, and said in a low voice: "As soon as I talked to these people, they nodded. I asked my uncle about the specific situation, and they said they didn't know either, so let us go and see for ourselves. ”

Zhu Youning smiled and nodded: "This should be nothing serious." ”

"yes." Yan Guan sighed.

Dou Junzhang and Dou Zhi had already carried the baggage, and Dou Wanwan was also carrying a food box.

Seeing that Zhu Youning's people were so well prepared, Steward Yan made another note of gratitude for Zhu Youning's carefulness.

Steward Yan negotiated with people, and sent a few purses out, and a few people entered the yamen smoothly, during which they met a few people to ask, but they all passed smoothly, until they reached the door of a main house in the back ya.

"This is it, you go in."

Steward Yan smiled and thanked the guide, and then stepped forward and gently pushed the door open.

Dou Junzhang and Dou Zhi vigilantly stopped Zhu Youning behind them at this time.

When Steward Yan entered the door and made sure that it was okay, he escorted Zhu Youning back and forth into the house.

It was already dark, and there was only one silk lamp lit in the room, which was dim but warm.

Zhu Youning followed Steward Yan through the outer room, passed left to the inner room, and saw a person in disheveled clothes lying on the big kang near the window.

"Uncle!" Steward Yan ran up in three steps and two steps, and arrived at the ondol.

Zhu Youning also walked over quickly.

Yan Sui's hair was messy lying on the kang, the middle coat on her body was no longer visible, there were messy whip marks and two burnt black marks on the soldering iron, her hands were weakly placed on both sides of her body, the joints of her wrists and fingers were red and swollen, her fingers were almost swollen into carrots, the slap marks on her cheeks were extremely clear, and there were blood marks on the corners of her mouth.
