Xiao Xuan became a suspect in the murder of the imperial court official, and the news soon reached Chu Hui's ears.

The person who came to inform was Xie Luoying.

She wears plain clothes on weekdays, but her hair bun is always combed neatly, and she is very regular with osmanthus hair oil. But today, he messily coiled the green silk behind his head, wrapped a cyan turban, clasped his hands, and looked anxious: "Siniang, what do you say about this?" Brother Xiao's personality, you and I are very clear, even if he can't get used to the official surnamed Wu, he will never sneak into the Cuihong Courtyard in the middle of the night to assassinate him! ”

"I understand."

Chu Ji held the stove and sat on her most comfortable recliner, with a serious face on her beautiful face.

Even if Xiao Xuan really wants to kill, he is above board and will not be sneaky.

She asked, "Do you know what's going on in this case?" What does Lin Boqin think about this matter? ”

Xie Luoying shook his head and said nervously: "I met Yang Zhutou on the side of the road today, and after chatting a few words, I learned that Brother Xiao was locked up in the county office. However, listening to Yang Zhutou's meaning, Lord Lin didn't believe that Brother Xiao was a murderer, even if the sword was indeed Brother Xiao's. ”

"Okay...... I'll ask. ”

is now on the cusp, she doesn't dare to show her face outside, but Xie Luoying hurriedly came to her, just to use her relationship to explore in detail. What's more, Xiao Xuan is her friend, and she can't ignore it in the narrow sense of benevolence.

Helpless, Chu Cheng simply packed up, put on a rabbit fur cloak, and was about to go to the county office.

Xie Luoying opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

Chu Cheng was exquisite, and she guessed the reason with a roll of her eyes, probably worried about Xiao Xu, but she was embarrassed to say it clearly. She didn't ask, but smiled and said, "Luoying can go to the county government with me?" ”

"Okay, okay."

Xie Luoying nodded again and again, followed behind Chu Hui, and saw that the hem of the light blue embroidered skirt she was wearing was fluttering, and she suddenly came back to her senses. Siniang guessed her little daughter's thoughts, but she didn't say anything.

Her heart warmed, and she couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Siniang." ”

Chu Cheng smiled back when she heard this, and her tone was delicate: "What are you seeing with me?" ”

Xie Luoying was originally a sharp character, and couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth.

She thought in her heart that being able to be friends with Siniang was the luckiest thing in her life.

The two rushed to the county office, and it was in the afternoon.

It's just that there is no daylight in winter, and the whole day is gloomy.

The two officials guarding the door saw Chu Cheng and hurriedly invited her in: "Madame is here?" Adults in the study room behind the third hall. The two of them looked at Chu Hui's empty hands, knowing that she didn't make pastries, and suddenly sighed.

Chu Ji couldn't help laughing: "Next time I cook pear soup for you, it's just right to drink it when it's cold." ”

The two of them often guarded the door, their right hands pressed on the cold hilt at any time, and their hands were frozen red and cracked, and they hurriedly thanked them in advance when they heard this.

Chu Cheng and Xie Luoying both left, and they heard the two of them praising behind them: "Madame is really sympathetic to us." "Madame has never had a shelf." "Madame is beautiful and kind-hearted, Lord Lin is so blessed!"

Chu Cheng is not a saint, and when she heard these praises, she was extremely happy in her heart.

The study room is in the third hall, Chu Cheng is very familiar with the route, and he arrived at the place as soon as he returned. The officials on the road all recognized her, and no one stopped her, so she pushed the door open directly, and saw that Lin Boqin was already asleep at the desk.

The room was cold, the brazier didn't burn anyone, and there was a window that was not closed, and the cold wind poured into it.

Chu Cheng immediately frowned: "This person is too unsophisticated." With that, he walked over and closed the window. Seeing this, Xie Luoying consciously retreated to the outside room and said to Chu Hui, "I'm waiting for news here." ”

The cold wind was howling outside, Chu Cheng frowned, and said, "That's good." Luo Ying, you go to the detention center to visit Brother Xiao and ask him about the situation. ”

Xie Luoying was stunned, and her pale face was a little red from excitement: "Is it okay?" I...... Can I go to the detention center without permission? ”

"I'll find someone to take you."

She found Hu Yu, who was chatting with others, under the eaves where the files were kept, and asked him to take Xie Luoying to the detention center to meet Xiao Xu. Hu Yu slapped his thigh and brought it over without thinking about it.

Although this matter is not in accordance with the rules, as long as it is ordered by Chu Hui, he will have no problem doing it.

Lord Lin didn't say anything if he knew.

After all, their adults' tolerance of their wives is almost known to everyone in the county government.

Looking at Xie Luoying's departing back, Chu Cheng touched her chin and said to herself: "I can only help you get here, Luoying, you work hard yourself!" ”

She turned around and returned to the study, but Lin Boqin hadn't woken up yet.

I don't know what I've been busy these days......

Chu Cheng sighed, looked around the cold room, and turned to cover the door. Raising his hand to untie the straps of his cloak, he put it on Lin Boqin's broad and stiff back.

Her cloak is moon white, and the edge of her hood is sewn with a circle of fluffy rabbit hair, embroidered with a few branches of red and bright plum, white and red, and exquisite workmanship. Chu Hui's mind turned, and the hood also covered Lin Boqin's head. Standing next to her, she was condescending, just in time to see the shaggy hood covering half of Lin Boqin's face, the high bridge of the nose, the thin lips, and the two sword eyebrows that had not been stretched in their sleep.

Chu Hui's heart moved, stretched out her slender index finger, and gently poked his eyebrows.

She swore it was just a little, a little light.

Unexpectedly, Lin Boqin woke up suddenly, and quickly raised his hand to "brush" and held her hand tightly.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Chu Cheng called out loudly, Lin Boqin was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, let go of his hand, and his face was pale: "Why are you here?" ”

Chu Cheng shook his fingers that were pinched by him, and said angrily: "Wu Guangbi's case is unsolved, and you haven't been home for a long time, so you came to visit." After speaking, Lin Boqin's expression was still a little serious, and she snorted, "Really...... What bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people! ”

Lin Boqin listened to her bury herself in a roundabout way, and was about to preach, just look at the white hand, which was really pinched red by him just now.

He was dazed, and he didn't know how much effort he had used.

Looking at Li Siniang standing there, dressed thinly, with a slender figure, delicate skin and tender flesh, delicate and weak, presumably ...... His face softened a little, and he coughed lightly, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Chu Cheng pursed her lips and blurted out, "What do you say?" It's so strong, it hurts me to death! ”

Yang La and Gu Jingtong outside the door came over to report something important, and when they heard this sentence at the same time, their feet stopped with strange expressions.

What are Mrs. Lin and Master Lin talking about behind closed doors......

The two glanced at each other, touched their noses, and stood outside the door not daring to break in.

Lin Boqin didn't expect to go there, he subconsciously answered: "Who told you not to say a word for a long time?" ”

Chu Cheng laughed angrily, but he blamed himself for not waking him up?

Looking at the cloak on Lin Boqin's body, she muttered and was about to take it off: "Take it off!" ”

Lin Boqin only found out at this time that when she was extremely tired and asleep, Chu Cheng gave her the cloak.

Seem...... There is still a woman's aftertaste and fragrance.

“…… Well, don't be angry. Lin Boqin sighed and returned the cloak to her, "Fang is my fault, but it's cold in the county office, don't take off your clothes here, lest you accidentally catch a cold." ”

Chu Cheng took the cloak and put it on, bowed her head and tied the bow, and hummed, "I'm willing!" ”

There was a sound of Suosuo's fabric rubbing in the room, and Yang La's face turned red.

Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin are really good at playing......

Gu Jingtong felt more and more strange, he knew about the three chapters of Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin's covenant, couldn't it be that the two of them had done fake drama for a few months, and they had already gone together? No, if it's true, Lin Boqin will definitely tell him, but no, which play is going on in the house?

Chu Cheng practiced martial arts, her five senses were keen, Gu Jingtong and Yang La were here, she already knew it.

The two of them looked like they had something to report, but for some reason, they lingered outside the door and refused to come in, and even so, she couldn't continue to stay here.

She asked Lin Boqin directly: "I heard that Xiao Qi is a suspect in the murder of Wu Guangbi?" ”

"Yes." Lin Boqin was upright, thinking that she had finally asked the main purpose.

Talking about visiting him and worrying about him, in fact, it was just to find out about Xiao Xu.

Lin Boqin lowered his eyes and concealed the awkward look in his eyes.

Chu Cheng didn't notice it, and continued to ask: "Then you tell me what happened to Wu Guangbi's case." For some reason, Lin Boqin didn't want to talk more about the case with her, so he handed over the confidential case materials directly to her, "You are literate, read for yourself." ”

With that, he walked over to the table, poured a cup of tea, and pushed open the window to look out at a row of withered magnolia trees.

The tea is already cold, and the blue and white porcelain cups are even colder. Holding it in your hand in winter is like holding a piece of ice, and even your heart is cold.

Chu Cheng looked extremely focused.

I have to admit that she is always very concerned about Xiao Xi's affairs.

Chu Ji finished reading it after a while, looked up at Lin Boqin, and was about to speak, but was suddenly stunned.

Lin Boqin was holding a cup of tea, standing by the window with a long jade body, wearing an ordinary light green official uniform, but he was wearing it very well, his eyebrows and eyes were handsome, but from Chu Cheng's point of view, there was a kind of calm and upright demeanor.

It's obviously not a very hot hand stove, but it's warm in your hand.

She pursed her lips, walked over and asked, "This case looks like a false accusation, you say yes?" ”

Lin Boqin didn't object to this, he said "um": "Yes." ”

For some reason, he blurted out again: "But it's not necessarily, no one knows what the murderer thinks, what his purpose is in killing Wu Guangbi, before the truth is found, everyone can be the object of suspicion." Speaking of this, Lin Boqin's gaze fell on Chu Cheng's face, which was hot and hot, "What if...... Xiao Xuan is really the murderer, what should you do? ”

"What should I do?"

Chu Cheng was stunned when she heard this, she and Xiao Xuan are friends, and they are not Xiao Xu's daughter, what can she do?

Chu Shen frowned and said: "The state has national laws, the family has family rules, killing people pays for their lives, and debts are repaid." Moreover, Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban, which is a taboo in this dynasty, and it is not only to act according to law. Merely...... Wu Guangbi is not a good thing, if it is really Xiao Xu, he should be sentenced lightly. ”

Lin Boqin didn't expect her to say that.

This Li Siniang's insight and practice...... It really amazed him.

He couldn't help laughing: "I thought you would be distressed and sad." ”

"It's inevitable to be sad, and I said I admired him." Chu Cheng replied honestly.

She didn't know what she thought, and suddenly the corners of her mouth hooked up a malicious smile, and asked, "Lin Boqin, will you break the law and kill people in the future?" ”

Lin Boqin twisted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Those who are engaged in the world can't be unmeliable. Of course I won't. ”

"That's good."

Lin Boqin was about to ask her what she meant, when she saw Chu Cheng pursing her lips and smiling, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she dragged out the last note, and said softly: "After all, if you break the law, I will be sad and distressed!" ”

Lin Boqin didn't expect her to say such a thing, so he turned his head unnaturally and looked out the window: "I'm talking nonsense again." ”

Although the tone was always cold and hard, a trace of blush quietly crept up at the root of his ears.

The two stood side by side, the sky outside the window was bitterly cold, the frost and wind weighed on the eaves, and a yellow leaf on the magnolia tree swirled, silent and silent.
