Chapter 8: Interrogating Liu Niang

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.

dispelled the darkness in Ning Shu's heart, but it sprouted anger out of thin air.

He promised not to tell anyone, and his hanging heart was a little relieved.

Can it be a thousand taels of gold?

Ning Shu's eyes lifted slightly, and her gaze slowly moved up along his dark cloud patterned robe, and finally landed on his handsome face.

The ink eyebrows are like swords, and the face is like white jade.

A pair of peach blossom eyes were bent, and a gentle and humble smile hung on his lips, and anyone who saw it would admire it.

Okay...... Let's just count him as if he's worth a thousand taels!

Resigned to his fate, he retracted his gaze and didn't take another look at the face that could make many nobles in the Qi Kingdom bend their waists, "Then how do I hand it over to the adults after I write the IOU?" ”

Suddenly, a breeze suddenly rose, blowing the two strands of hair hanging in front of her ears, but she turned her head away without being salty, like a thousand taels of IOUs, and didn't care much.

Xie Yunyan's warm smile froze on his face, and the hand behind his back was bent into a fist, the jade-like bone joints were slightly white, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were protruding.

"Miss Ning, just write it down, and I'll send someone to pick it up tonight."

With that, he stepped forward and passed by her.

His steps were too fast, and Ning Shu saw a black shadow disappear in an instant, leaving a faint fragrance in the air around him.

……

As soon as he returned to Zhao's Mansion, Zhao's Governor's fat body was matched with a dark red official uniform, like a roasted wild boar, and he ran lightly all the way to Xie Yunyan.

"My lord, these are all received by the general judgment family. Xia Guan really never expected that a small general judge would have a more solid family background than the prefect. ”

At this moment, in the courtyard, there are seven or eight cages.

The lid was open, and the gold, silver and jade objects inside were glowing with a golden light that could dazzle a dog's eyes in the sun.

Xie Yunyan was amazed.

"Being an official in this border town, and still having this wealth, is really an eye-opener for this official."

Governor Zhao laughed with him, "Hey, one of these is a gift from Yu Tong Judgment to the lower officials during the New Year's Festival in the past, Yu Tong Judgment is bold, and dares to gang up with the traitor to do it to the adult, and the way to come to this money is not clean, and the lower officials dare not accept it!" ”

His overtures Xie Yunyan didn't listen carefully at all, but only smiled mildly and said, "So, Lord Zhao knows the general judgment of Fu Zhuo?" ”

Governor Zhao's eyebrows were embarrassed, and he forced a smile, "Lord Xie, Yu Tongju came to Lishui City a few years earlier than the lower official, and the lower official knew that he had a lot of yellow and white things, but there was no way to know why he got it." ”

"Hmm." Xie Yunyan nodded.

"And Liu Niang......" Governor Zhao followed Xie Yunyan's side to inspect the cages in the courtyard, "Liu Niang really didn't know anything about the general judgment, it was Yu Tongju who suddenly came to her." The two have the same goal, come and go, that's all. ”

He cautiously glanced at Xie Yunyan's face, and seeing that there was no wave, he quickly retracted his gaze and continued: "Look, my lord, what should I do with this Liu Niang?" ”

Xie Yunyan stopped, looked back at Governor Zhao's mansion, and smiled indifferently: "I want to interrogate Liu Niang personally." ”

"Please come with me, sir."

……

Liu Niang's face was already sickly white, and now it is even more bloodless.

"You, the adults want to ask you for questioning, and you still don't salute?" Governor Zhao's tone was even colder than the dim cell, and Liu Niang, who was huddled in the corner, turned her head slightly when she heard the sound, and her eyes covered by messy hair were swollen so high that Governor Zhao almost didn't recognize anyone.

Across the prison fence, the prefect Zhao in Liu Niang's eyes is no longer the husband who took good care of her in the past.

It's more like killing people to invisible demons.

"I already said what I knew." I loved him for five years, and I saw his true face overnight, and Liu Niang's heart was like ashes.

Governor Zhao glared at Liu Niang, "Alas? What's your attitude? You are a sinner, you have to cooperate with the government to handle the case! ”

"Lord Zhao, let this official come." Xie Yunyan's exhaustion all night flowed through his body, and he didn't want to waste any more time, so he said softly:

"Liu Niang, this official wants to know that Yu Tongju conspired with you to kill this official at the beginning, didn't you have any suspicions?"

"Nope." Liu Niang's cheeks were still stained with tears, and her bright clothes were dirty, all of which showed how embarrassed she was at the moment.

The relief in the partial eyes, the resolute terrible.

It seems that she has never been so sober in the world in the past twenty-three years.

"Why not?"

"Because I firmly believe that the master will not touch a woman who has been used by others, and Yu Tongju is sure that after the adult touches Miss Ning, he will definitely marry her, after hearing this, of course I will think that he is doing it for my good."

"He said I would marry Miss Ning?" Xie Yunyan raised his eyebrows, and a thought flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it.

"Not bad."

Governor Zhao said in a trembling voice: "You guys are really calculating? When did I say I'm going to get Miss Ning in? Just based on your wishful thinking and suspicion, you almost harmed the innocence of Lord Xie and Miss Ning, you are really ...... Femme fatale! ”

I don't know if Lord Xie can understand such a direct explanation?

"Master Xie, Xia Guan didn't think about Miss Ning at all!"

Xie Yunshen raised his hand and patted Governor Zhao's shoulder, turned around and left the cell.

Xindao: She doesn't even look down on me, you better save it!

Liu Niang put her head against the corner of the wall with her hands and knees, closed her eyes, and two crystals slid down her cheeks.

This is the ruthless man she has served wholeheartedly for five years, she regrets it, she regrets it!

Back in the wing, Xuan Feng had been waiting for a long time.

"Master, my subordinates have already checked Yu Tongju's mansion, there is a secret room, but there is nothing else in the secret room except for gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and famous paintings. As for Liu Niang, she didn't find any value at all. ”

Xuanfeng has a cold temperament, and he has always cherished words like gold, and only spit out words like beads when he reports to his master.

But the master will send him to do many important tasks.

Yuan Wu couldn't help but wonder if he was talking too much, so he faintly had the illusion that his status was not as good as Xuan Feng.

Xie Yunyan waved his hand and said: "This person is cunning and cunning, at first even I didn't find out that something was wrong with him, I'm afraid he won't leave any clues, but how to be poisoned in front of everyone's eyes, you can look in this direction." ”

"Yes." Xuan Feng took the order and retreated.

"Yuanwu, you continue to track down the traces of those assassins."

When he had not entered Lishui City a month ago, he encountered two assassin attacks in succession, and Xie Yunshen, a nominal messenger, was assassinated in the local area, and the first suspect was the local prefect.

After half a month of contact, he found that Governor Zhao was just pedantic and dull, and there were many small mistakes in official affairs, but there were no major things.

Not to the point of putting him to death.

So who exactly assassinated him? Will it be with Yu Tongju?

Or did the opponents hidden in the shadows in the court chase him thousands of miles away to Lishui City?

Rubbing his eyebrows, Ning Zhengjie's words sounded in his mind.

"Why did the father-in-law next to the fourth prince appear in the official deployment office? And why did the housekeeper of the servant of the ministry correct the old man? ”

Suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the delicate wooden box on the table, and slowly opened it, his handsome face was no longer gentle, and he was instantly filled with anger.
