At the end of the first month, in Jinling, a cold spring, everyone began to add clothes again. Maybe it's because of the cold wind, and even the people on the streets today are exceptionally few.

In Guozi Prison, a fierce shout made Luo Qingzhi and the others suddenly feel that something was wrong.

Almost without any hesitation, Luo Qingzhi flew up to the eaves and chose to find the sound in the fastest way. When she found a place, the picture that caught her eye was Gao Zhen's disheveled clothes, holding a bloody dagger standing under the porch, while Zhou Jin was covering his lower body, screaming in pain.

Gao Zhen under the corridor found Luo Qingzhi, as if he had come back to his senses, he immediately let go of his clenched left hand, and the dagger on the ground made a crisp sound.

The two of them looked at each other, their eyes showed a look of shock, Luo Qingzhi was the first to look away, and looked down at Zhou Jin, who was half-lying on the ground, she leaned down and clicked on his acupuncture points to help stop the bleeding.

Qi Zhen, who didn't know martial arts, arrived later, panting, and seemed to be running.

"God, Student Zhou, hurry, hurry, go and ask for a doctor."

After finishing the important things, Qi Zhen caught a glimpse of the dagger on the ground on the left side of Gao Zhen, and immediately speculated, saying: "You injured Zhou Xuexue, come here, report to the official, and arrest him." ”

"Wait." Luo Qingzhi said lightly: "Qi Siye, seeing may not be true, is it too arbitrary." ”

With such a big movement, the surrounding students had already surrounded him, and Qi Zhen changed his attitude and was upright, saying, "Could it be that the county lord wants to shield the prisoners?" ”

Luo Qingzhi: "The matter has not been investigated, how can the prisoner say, how can he cover up." ”

The two were still arguing, and the priest who had not appeared also appeared at this time, and said righteously, "Lord Anning? Although your rank is higher than ours, you can't use your power for personal gain. ”

Luo Qingzhi smiled contemptuously, "I said, why haven't I seen Lord Sacrificial Wine all the time, it turned out that he was waiting for me here." ”

Seeing Luo Qingzhi's attitude, Yuan Saijiu continued: "His Royal Highness the County Lord has made remarkable achievements, which is not comparable to us, but in this country, the lower officials also have to protect every student. ”

Luo Qingzhi suddenly laughed, "What's the matter, it's your student who is lying on the ground, and this standing one is no longer there?" ”

More and more students came to the scene of the crime looking for Xin'er, Luo Qingzhi looked around and said loudly: "Doctor, why haven't you come yet?" ”

No one answered, Luo Qingzhi looked at Zhou Jin who was lying on the ground, and made a quick decision, "Luo Chen, you go to the doctor, it's nearby." ”

After Luo Chen received the order, he left the Guozijian with a worried face.

At this time, the scene had already been surrounded, and Luo Qingzhi walked towards Gao Zhen, not caring about the chatter around her.

She looked around at him and asked softly, "Did it hurt you?" ”

Gao Zhen Muleng shook his head, "No, Arlo, I ......"

Feeling Gao Zhen's speechlessness, Luo Qingzhi asked in a low voice, "Is it you?" ”

Gao Zhen immediately shook his head, "No, me, I really am, me." ”

"Okay, I understand," Luo Qingzhi didn't force an answer, untied his big curtain, draped it on his body, and took his hand again, moving him behind him, "Don't be afraid, come behind me." ”

Luo Chen's feet were very fast, but after a cup of tea, he invited a doctor. And the doctor who went to shout before still hadn't arrived, and Luo Yuzhi understood that today's incident was not accidental.

The doctor called the people left and right, carried Zhou Jin back to the room, and closed the door for treatment.

Luo Qingzhi preemptively said: "Luo Chen, go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to report to the official." ”

Yuan Saijiu immediately said: "This matter should be reported to the Criminal Department, how can it be Jingzhao Mansion." ”

"Then, Lord Sacrificial, whatever you want." Luo Qingzhi didn't stop it at all.

Yuan Sai Liquor naturally did not show weakness, and went to the Criminal Department to file a case.

Luo Qingzhi turned around, patted the door, and asked, "Doctor, how is the situation?" ”

After waiting for a while, a voice came from inside, "County Lord, the bleeding has stopped, there is no major problem, the patient has fainted now." ”

"yes, I see." After listening to the answer, Luo Qingzhi lowered her eyebrows, turned around and looked at Gao Zhen at the same time, just now the doctor's words, not sure how much he heard, but Gao Zhen squatted down silently, obviously relaxed, and did not speak again.

Faster than the Criminal Department and Jing Zhaoyin was Zhou Qi, the Shangshu Lord of the Ministry of Works, from Emperor Wen

He seemed to have known the news in advance, and as soon as he entered everyone's sight, he began to cry regardless of the image.

"My son, where is my son?"

Yuan Xijiu first held Zhou Qi's arm, and there was a sense of helplessness in his tone, "Zhou Shangshu, I'm very sorry, Zhou Xuexue was actually hurt in Guozi Prison. ”

"Who? Who hurt my son? Zhou Qi was furious, Yuan Sacrifice Wine pointed at his eyes, and Zhou Qi immediately set his eyes on Gao Zhen, who was squatting under the porch.

"It's you, you little boy, who gave you the guts." As he spoke, he stepped forward to scold him.

Luo Qingzhi once again stood in the way, and said calmly: "Zhou Shangshu, the matter has not been clarified yet, you should calm down first." ”

Gao Zhen, who was squatting behind him, raised his eyes and looked at the back in front of him, just like ten years ago, he himself as a child also looked up to her like this, and it has always been, Luo Qingzhi has always been in front of Gao Zhen, resisting all dangerous things.

"But we've just seen it." One of the students whispered.

At this time, some more voices were heard, which made the atmosphere of the scene even worse.

"Yes, we all saw it, it was Luo Xuezi who hurt Zhou Xuexue."

"The county lord is still protecting Luo Xuexue."

Hearing such words, Zhou Qi became even more angry, and roared loudly: "Lord Anning, you really think that the capital is your Luo Qingzhi covering the sky with one hand." ”

At the same time, the men and horses of the Criminal Department and Jing Zhaoyin arrived one after another, and they were all puzzled when they saw each other.

Luo Qingzhi looked at the person who came, and said to Zhou Qi: "Lord Shangshu, the people from the official mansion are here, it's better to hand it over to them." ”

The people of Jingzhao Mansion were the first to react, and after the leader stepped forward to see Luo Qingzhi, he began to ask: "County Lord, we have to take the suspect away." ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded, moved her body away, and made way for space.

Gao Zhen looked up at Luo Qingzhi, "Ah Luo." ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "It's okay, just make it clear, I'm here." ”

Gao Zhen got up and walked towards Luo Qingzhi, and the person from the Criminal Department spoke: "County Lord, the people from the Guozi Prison have come to my Criminal Department to report the case. ”

Luo Qingzhi was not in a hurry, and asked softly: "Then, may I ask this lord, what is the duty of the Criminal Department?" ”

"Interrogation of important cases of officials above the sixth grade in the imperial court."

Before Luo Qingzhi could speak, Yuan Sacrificial Wine immediately said: "Why, the county lord thinks that I, the prince of the country, is not worthy of being the minister of the fourth grade of the imperial court?" ”

"It's unbearable, and it's not up to me to have the final say." Luo Qingzhi said lightly, looking at the person who was about to get angry again, she continued: "You are the fourth grade, but this case involves two students, not the adults themselves, so the case of the people in the capital will naturally belong to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Qi Zhen, who had never spoken, said: "What the county lord said is that it is better to bother the people of Jingzhao Mansion and take it away." ”

Yuan Sacrifice Wine looked at Qi Zhen with a puzzled expression, but he did not continue to refute.

Gao Zhen walked up to Luo Qingzhi and asked in a low voice, "Ah Luo, do you believe me?" ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded without hesitation, "Of course." ”

Gao Zhen was taken away, Luo Qingzhi looked at Luo Chen, who nodded clearly and followed.

A farce ended simply, Zhou Qi was still angry, stared at Luo Qingzhi and said, "County Lord, today's matter, I will tell Your Majesty in 1510." ”

Luo Qingzhi remained calm and said, "Of course, this is your right. ”

The people in the criminal department are leaving, and they seem to have a feeling of being played.

At this time, Zhou Qi seemed to remember that his son's life and death were uncertain, and walked into the dormitory slowly, and Luo Qingzhi outside the door heard a howling sound again.

Yuan Saijiu also stepped forward at this time, and said angrily: "Today's matter, my country's eunuch will also show His Majesty." ”

Luo Qingzhi didn't answer, she walked straight past him, and when she walked to Qi Zhen's side, she actually said, "Qi Siye, the matter has been done, I'll leave first." ”

She walked away, leaving behind a shocked Qi Zhen and an even more angry Yuan Sacrifice Wine.

Back at the county lord's mansion, Qin Shu, who had been out for a few days, finally returned.

"There is a problem with the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, you go and check him."

Qin Shu nodded and said, "Master, that, about Zhou Jing, I found out some news. ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Well, you say." ”

After receiving Luo Qingzhi's reply, Qin Shu did not speak immediately, but had a feeling of embarrassment.

"How?" Luo Qingzhi was very puzzled, she had known Qin Shu for so long, and she had never seen her like this.

After waiting for a while, Qin Shu took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Luo Qingzhi, and explained, "This is a letter from Qingshan-kun to you. ”

Luo Qingzhi frowned, "You went out for so long, you went to Ningzhou to find Qingshanjun." ”

Qin Shu continued: "Because I got the news, Zhou Jing often went to Qingshanjun, so I thought about asking. ”

Talking about Qingshanjun and thinking of his identity, Luo Qingzhi also understood a little in her heart, and after reading Qingshanjun's letter, she also understood why Qin Shu couldn't speak.

"I know, you first go to check the wine of the country's priest, and find the doctor he often sees, I want to know if he has ever been seriously ill." Luo Qingzhi commanded.

"Yes."

Luo Qingzhi stared at Qingshanjun's letter, her eyes gradually focused on the word "partner", and thinking about what happened in Guozi Prison just now, Gao Zhen was so flustered, his coat was still messy, and he felt bad, so he wanted to rush directly into Jingzhao Mansion.

Luo Chen came back in time and stopped all this.

"Master, I have already informed Lord Jing Zhaoyin that this Lord is the most just."

Luo Chen finished the report but didn't get an answer for a long time, thinking that he didn't do it properly, and asked: "Is it inappropriate to arrange?" ”

"It's not." Luo Qingzhi asked: "Am I a little ruthless, I should take him home first." ”

"What did the master say, if you bring it home, wouldn't it be true that you are protecting the second son?" Luo Chen didn't understand very much, thinking about how his master could think like this.

"How is he?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

"Him?" Luo Chen asked rhetorically, "Second son?" It should be fine, Lord Yang should be arraigned overnight, do you need me to go? ”

"No, you don't." Luo Qingzhi stopped, "Lord Yang is fair, no need." ”
