The torn books have no covers, crumpled paper, and the pages are upturned, and it is obvious that they are some years old.

There was silence.

Fu Jiuqu hesitated for a moment before slowly flipping through it.

"The doctor's pulse case. Chen Chusheng gave it to you? ”

If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Xin Yi would not have handed over this treasure to Fu Jiuqu, but now that she has to go to the Kaifeng Mansion prison, the books may not be safe, and she has no better way to keep them.

"King of the county, please look here-"

Xin Yi opened the bottom of the booklet, and there were a few lines of handwritten small characters.

"The babies come and go in the melodious sound of the huqin, it is the mercy of the ghosts and gods, and the sorrow of the demons, it is not the children that I destroy, but this evil village. Their pickled bloodlines are not worthy of inheritance, and they are not worthy of being endless......

Whoever I have slain, he deserves to die.

Don't say that the baby is innocent, but the soul is pitiful. Bodhi beings in the world, who is not pitied? I will send them to the earthly path with the strength of one person, and they will be reincarnated as human beings in the next life, without encountering suffering. ”

These lines of ink are fresh.

"Good stuff."

Chen Chusheng worked as an errand in the palace back then, and there are a lot of medical cases, and his handwriting is even more familiar, and with the words he wrote himself, it is enough to prove that the case in Zhangjiacun was committed by him.

"Why did he hand over the incriminating evidence to you?"

Xin Yi frowned and thought for a moment, "Don't you want me, an innocent, to die in vain?" ”

Fu Jiuqu sneered.

"The devil's mercy on the ghosts?"

"......" This guy really doesn't know how to chatter.

Xin Yi rolled his eyes, "Did the king of the county ever think that in the eyes of Chen Chusheng, I, who only married into Zhangjia Village the day before the incident, was actually the most innocent person in the village?" And I was ridiculed and humiliated because of him......"

"Are you saying that when Chen Chusheng gave you the books, he already had the heart of death? But he can't bear to let you suffer any more, so he specially left it for you? ”

Xin Yi nodded, then nodded again.

Fu Jiuqu teased his eyes and smiled coldly and evilly.

"What is the explanation for the conspiracy of the West Wing and the assassination of Yunqi Bridge?"

Xin Yi said: "This is a bit strange. But Chen Chusheng is right, if he wants to kill me, he really doesn't have to be so troublesome, and he won't leave a handle for Wang Tuhu and the like...... Therefore, the assassination and danger I encountered, I think there is someone else. ”

Fu Jiuqu didn't make a sound, his hands spread out in front of the charcoal stove, as if he was thinking.

A gust of wind blew, Xin Yi felt a little cold, she naturally sat closer, reached over to the charcoal stove, and inadvertently touched the back of Fu Jiuqu's hand with her fingers.

She didn't care, but Fu Jiuqu took his hand back.

Neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a strange freezing point.

Fu Jiuqu did not ask who "there is another person".

Xin Yi didn't guess either.

There are too many people around the case, there are too many voices.

She had a faint feeling that whether it was Fu Jiuqu or herself, whether reluctant or not, they were actually in the whirlpool of a storm, and had to face the surging undercurrent and the coming monstrous waves......

Death is the end of most people, but it is not bitter.

What she fears is not the death of her character, but the inability to leave this illusory space and return to her own world......

Thinking of this, Xin Yi felt more and more that this winter night was cold, and she shivered, and the charcoal stove couldn't warm her.

"Duan Sui." Fu Jiuqu suddenly turned his head and spoke.

Duan Sui walked in with a smile and arched his hand, "What does the Ninth Master command?" ”

Fu Jiuqu said: "In the middle of the night, prepare some wine and food for Lord Zeng." ”

Before the voice fell, he lowered his eyes.

"Send some here, I'm hungry."

Duan Sui said: "Master, the lamb wine and lychee stuffed that day in Longjin Bridge tasted good, you want to try it, and Granny Chen's roasted meat, fried frozen fish head, spicy feet, Zhouqiao also opened a new shop selling game, badger meat is very fresh, if you use it, your subordinates will buy it quickly......

Fu Jiuqu turned the jade wrench in his hand.

"Go and get back."

There is no curfew in Bianjing City, and the nightlife is the first rich in all dynasties, Xin Yi has coveted this for a long time, and he didn't expect that the king of Guangling County would also "observe the people's suffering", and she was very happy to eat supper food stalls, and by the way, she reported a few snacks to Duan Sui.

Duan Sui saw her commanding herself, and almost had another seizure.

Fortunately, he stopped his mouth in time when he saw Fu Jiuqu's cold eyes.

It was very quick to go from the eldest princess's mansion to Longjin Bridge, and it didn't take long for Duan Sui to come back, and he gave some food to Zeng Qinda and his entourage, and the rest was all placed in the warm pavilion.

The aroma of wine and food made Xin Yi's stomach gurgle uncontrollably. She was full of energy and rubbed her hands, "King Jun, you don't have to pay for eating, right?" ”

Fu Jiuqu looked at him calmly, "Naturally...... To give. ”

Xin Yi squinted, stared at him for a moment, and was defeated, "So stingy?!" Cheng, first owed. ”

Let's talk about it after eating.

She reached out to take the chopsticks, and she was not polite to Fu Jiuqu, especially thinking of the upcoming prison life, and felt that the food was more and more delicious.

The night was quiet, the warm wine was in his throat, and sitting in the warm room, Xin Yi suddenly felt that this journey through the country was very complete, at least for the moment......

Fu Jiuqu got up and left.

When I came back, I threw a small medicine bottle on the table.

"Take it with warm water."

Xin Yi smiled and asked, "What is this?" ”

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her, "The food in the night market is not very clean, you are not afraid of being embarrassed in the prison, you don't need it." ”

Xin Yi was a little surprised, Fu Jiuqu would be so considerate?

However, his words reminded Xin Yi that in a place like a prison cell, everything else can be tolerated, and if you have diarrhea, you really won't be able to live.

"Thank you, King of the County."

Xin Yi pulled out the plug and sniffed it first as usual, then poured out two grains, and as soon as he stuffed it into his mouth, he heard Fu Jiuqu laugh and ridicule.

"Do you have a dog's nose? Smell everything! ”

Xin Yi was stunned, the pill was stuck in his throat, and he coughed so much that tears came out, and he almost choked to death.

"Ahem, the next time the county king jokes, don't be so tricky, you'll die."

Fu Jiuqu lowered his eyes and sat down like an old monk.

He ordered so much food, but he didn't even move his chopsticks. Xin Yi vaguely remembered that this guy was a little clean, and only then did he react, probably because of the food she had touched, Fu Jiuqu didn't want to eat it.

Thinking about it this way, she was embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She put her chopsticks down, "I'm full." If the king of the county dislikes it, I can take it back and eat it tomorrow......"

Duan Sui looked at her in shock.

Is this eating and taking? Where does it come from with such a thick skin?

Fu Jiuqu's face was as usual, and he said coldly.

"Little Zhang's ......"

Xin Yi raised his eyes: "The county king is unwilling?" That's it. I thought it would be a pity if you didn't eat it. Presumably, you won't eat overnight dishes, so why don't I take it back......"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her, his voice slightly muffled.

"Zhang Yaozhuo has reported the case to the official's family. In order to take credit and embarrass the Cao family, it is impossible to say that some dirty methods will be used. You are in prison, you have to learn to be smart, Mrs. Zhang is a good move. ”

It was rare to hear Fu Jiuqu's praise, and Xin Yi's pretty eyes were slightly bent.

"They don't have evidence, so they can't make it up out of thin air, right?"

Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, "Fool, the case is in the hands of some people, it doesn't matter if there is a certificate or not." ”

What matters is the attitude of the officials. The smell of gunpowder in this case is not only the case itself, but also the intrigue of the former harem.

Xin Yi repeatedly replayed the phrase "fool" in his mind, and suddenly felt funny.

"Has the county king ever discovered that those three different secret letters are stirring up contradictions and adding fuel to the fire?"

"Hmm." Fu Jiuqu's expression was faint.

Xin Yi watched his reaction and smiled.

"Then it's up to them to act."

Before her voice fell, she stood up, "If the county king has nothing else to do, I will leave first, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"Okay."

Fu Jiuqu didn't say much, and called Cheng Cang.

"Give her to Master Zeng."

Seeing that his face was calm, Xin Yi didn't say anything more, said goodbye, wrapped his shirt tightly and strode out.

Cheng Cang responded and followed out.

Duan Sui entered the house with a smile and saw a shadow flying towards him.

He reflexively raised his hand to catch it, stunned.

On his hand was a navy blue fox fur coat, if he was not mistaken, it was the one that the king of the county had just taken off and hung on the wooden tree......

"Ninth Master? This ......"

Fu Jiuqu waved his hand impatiently.

"Take it! Don't let people freeze to death in prison. ”

Duan Sui sighed, and his mouth almost didn't close.

After a while, he turned around and chased out towards the bamboo forest with his arms in his arms.

~

Xin Yi sat quietly in the cold cell for half the night, wrapped in the fox coat, barely asleep. She thought a lot about her next fate, but she didn't expect Zhang Yaozhuo to be so impatient.

As soon as the day dawned, Zeng Qinda was sent to carry her.

"Little lady, please?"

Xin Yi glanced at the official beside him and slowly stood up.

"Where is Master Zeng taking me?"

Zeng Qinda's mouth moved, as if he had something to say and stopped, "The lobby of Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Is this a direct promotion?

"Wait a minute."

Xin Yi did not fully understand the current trial mechanism, and had no chance of refusing, so she took off the fox and folded it on the weeds, allowing the cell boss to shackle her.

~

"Bang-Bang-Bang-"

Kaifeng Mansion Lobby.

Three drums sounded, and the officials shouted in unison.

"Might-Force-"

Zhang Yaozhuo sat in the lobby with the "mirror hanging", holding the hall board and patting it heavily.

"Take someone to commit Xiao Zhang's family."
