Ling Yue's heart lifted, and the hand holding the cup tightened.

"That boy is four or five years old, and he looks so cute! Niu Zi said that he was the child of a distant relative, but who would believe it! When the child saw him, he was so scared that he cried every day for his father, mother, and sister. Every time he cried, the cow would beat, and the hand was heavy, and I felt panicked when I saw it. ”

Hearing this, Ling Yue's tears fell directly, the good Xiangfu son was abused in this poor and remote place, and she hated Chen Piaopiao even more!

Ah Yun took her hand, held it tightly, and said softly, "It will be found." ”

She nodded and wiped her eyes, "Auntie, you go on." ”

The old woman let out an "oh", lowered her head and took a sip of tea: "It's only been a year since I brought it back, and the little boy has lost so much weight that he happened to be met by me once." I had a good heart, so I took him home and scrubbed him, only to find that there were bruises on my little arms and legs. Especially on his left arm, it looks like it's burned. ”

"I made him a meal, and the little man thanked me, but it hurt me! But Niu Zi is domineering, and when he found out once and scolded me, I didn't dare to care anymore. ”

After that, the ox fought with the people for the land, and when they were in a hurry, they killed his whole family. When he was arrested by the government, he confessed to all the charges, but he did not admit to killing the little boy. So I think he's alive! By the way, who are you little boys? If you are so generous, you must be a relative! ”

Ling Yue choked up and said, "He is my brother." Auntie, haven't you seen him again? ”

The old woman looked at the sky and stood up, "Little girl, it's not early, why don't we have a meal here and talk slowly?" ”

She walked to a large vat, lifted the lid, and sighed: "Hey, the harvest has not been good in the past few years, and there is not much food......

The corners of Bai Yi's mouth hooked, and he took out a silver ingot and put it on the table: "Auntie, this silver is also for you, improve your life well, we won't eat dinner, what else do you know, let's talk about it together!" ”

The old woman came back at once, with a light in her eyes, and she was too embarrassed to pick up the silver, which would be hers sooner or later!

"At noon one day after the murder, I saw a woman in tattered clothes leading the little boy away, the little boy was grinning, I thought his family had found him, so I didn't come forward to ask, and I haven't seen him since!"

A woman in tattered clothes?

Ling Yue's heart was sour, his brother must have lived a life without food, and tears came down again.

Ah Yun patted her on the shoulder, turned to the old woman and said, "Auntie, thank you for telling us." By the way, I want to ask, after my young master came here, has his leg been healed? ”

Leg?

The old woman was stunned, what legs?

Ling Yue was also stunned, she had never heard that her eldest brother had injured her leg.

Bai Yi understood, stepped forward and said, "Auntie, my young master's leg has some minor problems, and he walks unsteadily, and I don't know if that family has treated him." ”

The old woman understood, wiped her eyes, and sighed: "Niu Zi himself doesn't have much silver, how can he treat the little boy's leg?" I sometimes see him limping in the fields, and I can't stop crying......"

Bai Yi snorted coldly and put away the silver on the table.

The old woman looked anxious: "You young man, how can you get back the money you gave away?" ”

Ling Yue also understood at this time, caring would be chaotic, if it weren't for Ah Yun and Bai Yi, she would still be immersed in the old woman's lies and couldn't extricate herself.

Raised his sleeve to wipe his eyes, and said angrily: "What is the reason for your untruthful?" Knowing that we are in a hurry, we still lie a lot, and the money just now is also returned! ”

The old woman hurriedly tightened her sleeves, and her eyes were even more defensive. He also quibbled: "Some of what I said is true, not a lie." It's not easy for old people to earn money, you people are so stingy! ”

The three of them scolded and scolded her, and left without looking back.

Ah Yun said: "Miss, I suspect that the insider mentioned by the person sent before may be her." But I didn't give the money, so I didn't make up so much nonsense. ”

Bai Yi looked around, thought for a while and said, "Miss Ling, in my opinion, the old woman's words just now are half-true, since the Niu family's extermination case was mentioned, let's go to the Hongcheng Mansion to investigate the file of the year." Then let Fu Yin find all the seventeen-year-old boys in Hongcheng and see them one by one! ”

Ling Yue was puzzled: "But if it's made public, will anyone pretend to admit it?" ”

Bai Yi smiled: "Silly girl, there are new and old scars, not to mention the scars of more than ten years, which can be seen at a glance, how to pretend to be one?" ”

Ling Yue patted her head, she had been ignoring this.

I was about to praise him, but I heard Ah Yun say coldly: "Bai Yi, who allows you to say that the eldest lady is stupid?" You're stupid! ”

Bai Yi only felt that he couldn't get up in one breath, so he smiled helplessly.

With such a little guy who protects the master, it seems that Xue Ergongzi's future road is difficult!

Ling Yue pulled Ah Yun's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Ah Yun, actually I'm quite stupid, if I had thought of this earlier, we wouldn't have to come here." ”

Ah Yun looked into her eyes and smiled: "Don't be stupid, the eldest lady is the smartest!" I wouldn't have thought of this idea if I didn't come to it. ”

The little girl snorted and laughed, but her eyes were still shining.

After a brief lunch, the three of them went straight to the Hongcheng Mansion.

The official was dozing off, and when he was disturbed by them, he was extremely irritable. I also heard that the file was still eleven years ago, and it is even more annoying now.

"Who do you think you are? Did you say that the dossier was tuned? Hurry up, otherwise don't blame the master for being unkind! ”

Bai Yi was immediately displeased when he heard this, and grabbed him by the collar: "Why are you not welcome?" ”

The official was pulled by him, and his drowsiness disappeared instantly, but he couldn't break free, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, someone is coming to make trouble!" ”

The other drowsy officials were awake and gathered around, and just as they were about to make a move, Bai Yi had an extra gold medal in his hand.

"If you don't know this brand, find out your Fu Yin." He said coldly.

Fu Yin was taking a nap in the back hall, and when he heard someone come to report that the palace guards had arrived, he immediately got up from the bed.

Could it be that the matter of corruption and bribery alarmed the emperor?

But the emperor won't send a guard!

While changing clothes, he said, "What can the guard say?" ”

"If you want to transfer the file from eleven years ago, it should be an investigation."

Fu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, he had only been here for four years, and the one eleven years ago had nothing to do with him, and his movements had slowed down.

When he arrived at the door of the main hall, Fu Yin walked to the main seat with his head held high, and his official tone was full.

"Who wants to see this official?"

Bai Yi got up from the chair and put his hands behind his back: "Master Sun, don't come unharmed." ”

Hearing this voice, Fu Yin hurriedly turned around, and when he saw him clearly, he immediately smiled and greeted him in person.

"Oh, Lord Bai, why are you here? That little rabbit only said that there were guards in the palace, where did I think it was you! ”

Ah Yun looked at Fu Yin with a bright smile faintly on the side, and said to Ling Yue, "Isn't Bai Yi just a guard?" Why did this official smile so flatteringly? ”

Ling Yue said in his heart, in two years, he will see that you will be even more flattering!

However, he still lowered his voice to answer his questions: "He is not an ordinary guard, he is the emperor's close guard, and his position is higher than that of the guard!" ”

Ah Yun said "oh", no wonder he made friends with Bai Yi!

Then I didn't understand it again.

Before, he asked him to show goodwill to General Wu'an's Mansion for his future, but Bai Yi had nothing to do with his future.

It's really confusing for the eldest lady to do things!

And how could she, a boudoir lady, know the emperor's close guards?

The little girl raised her eyebrows and said, "Because I am a fairy, I know everything and can do anything!" ”
