Ling Yun made an appointment with Lian Nanchun on the bank of the Jinming River, hoping that she could tell him how to identify hibiscus flower poison, so as to identify whether Cai Ming had really been poisoned by hibiscus flower poison before his death, and why Cheng Qi was drunk and murdered.

Lian Nanchun's eyes were dark, and his tone was resolute: "No! ”……

Ling Yun's heart throbbed unconsciously, "Why?" ”

The fierceness in Lian Nanchun's eyes flashed, "What do you say?" He Chengqi is the son of He Yuting and the husband of the lord of Huanyu, and both of these people have a deep hatred with me; If He Chengqi dies, I clap my hands and say it's too late, do you think I will be stupid to save him? ”

Ling Yun lowered his eyelids, his expression was complicated, and he was speechless for a while.

Lian Nanchun's eyes were fixed on his face, his eyebrows twitched, and he said with a bit of urgency: "By the way, I forgot that your true identity as Lingyun should be the eldest prince of the Hou Ye Mansion - speaking of which, you are not running around for your own family affairs, so what are you still saying in a way that is public and not private?" ”

Lian Nanchun's words, even sarcastic and sarcastic, Ling Yun was speechless.

A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "So, are you willing to help with this favor?" ”

Lian Nanchun nodded expressionlessly. Her eyes were piercing, and her words were clear: "Lingyun, let me say it again, you and I have already broken off our righteousness, so no matter what happens, you don't come to me again." ”

Ling Yun only felt that his heart was cold to the bottom. His hands slowly clenched into fists, his indignant eyes were full of pain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Well said...... I made a note of it! Even if the surname Ling dies in the future, he won't trouble you anymore......"

After saying these words with difficulty, he turned and walked forward, without looking back.

Looking at the back of the person who was gradually moving away in the drizzle, Lian Nanchun raised his face slightly. On that beautiful and ethereal face, there was a bloodless white, sad, weak, and heart-wrenching.

The drizzle fell on her face, and it was cold; It's a little wet, it's rain or tears, it's hard to tell......

The Criminal Department Shangshu Mansion, in the study.

Lu Wenzheng's eyebrows were furrowed, and his dark face seemed to be covered with a thick layer of frost, looking solemn and preoccupied.

The failure of Ling Yun's trip brought the case that had already begun to turn around into a deadlock.

Although Lu Wenzheng's face was calm when he listened to Ling Yun tell him what had happened, the extreme disappointment and frustration in his heart were difficult to describe in words.

However, he still comforted Ling Yun very calmly, because he could deeply understand Ling Yun's depressed and painful mood at this time.

When everyone was hesitating, Captain Liu Yong suddenly rushed in, and said with flying eyebrows: "My lord, good news, my subordinates have found out the whereabouts of those thieves and Hua Ruyu!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this. This is exactly what it is: "The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village".

Lu Wenzheng's originally gloomy eyes couldn't help but light up, he couldn't hold back his excitement, and suddenly stood up from behind the bookcase, and couldn't wait to urge Liu Yong to quickly state his feelings.

Liu Yongyu reported: "The subordinates were ordered to check the news near the wild boar forest, and the guards led by them were divided into three shifts, and they took turns to keep an eye on them day and night; Finally discovered the whereabouts of the gang of robbers, and led people to quietly follow and follow for more than ten miles, so they found the location of the thieves' cottage......"

Lu Wenzheng was very happy, praised Liu Yong, and asked him to lead the way, arranging for Ling Yun and Yang Zhen to lead the guards to the thieves' lair in order to exterminate the thieves and rescue Hua Ruyu.

Ling Yun and Yang Zhen took the order and rushed to the strongman's cottage with hundreds of guards.

Yang Zhen instructed to surround the cottage first, and then lead people to rush into the village.

In a fierce battle, the 100th robber was either killed on the spot, or captured, and it didn't take long for the account to be settled.

Then Ling Yun and Yang Zhen broke into the bandits' Juyi Hall, stood in the center, and ordered the guards to search everywhere to find Hua Ruyu.

After a while, the guards returned one after another, and walked in with more than a dozen disheveled young women, and said to the two: "Qiyu eldest prince, Qiyu Captain Yang, these women were found in the back hall, see how to get there?" ”

The women were so frightened that their faces were earthy, trembling, and they fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

Ling Yun's eyebrows narrowed slightly, and his clear eyes were stained with dark clouds, "Who are you?" Why here? ”

A woman said boldly at first glance: "We are all women from a good family who were snatched by Chen Erhu, and we were forced to be his wife-official Mingjian, we were all forced!" ......" he sobbed and cried.

"Chen Erhu? ......" Ling Yun frowned slightly, "Is Chen Erhu the head of this cottage?" ”

The woman lowered her eyebrows and said, "Exactly." ”

Ling Yun turned his face to Yang Zhen on the side, "Brother Yang, Hua Ruyu, have you seen Hua Ruyu - is there her among these women?" ”

Yang Zhen's anxious eyes glanced around the women, and finally shook his head in disappointment.

Ling Yun's face sank unconsciously when he heard this; He lowered his head, thought slightly, and then turned his face sideways and whispered a few words in Yang Zhen's ear.

Yang Zhen nodded frequently, and said loudly at those women: "You are all victims, as long as you actively cooperate with the government and catch Chen Erhu, the government will not only not punish you, but will also send you home to reunite with your parents, brothers and sisters."

"Now what I want to ask is: Where are Chen Erhu and Hua Ruyu - if you have anything to know, just speak up, and the government will definitely reward you."

Another woman heard this, and hurriedly said: "When the officers and soldiers surrounded the cottage, the little woman saw him go out from the back door in a panic with Hua Ruyu; Where exactly it went, I don't know. ”

Yang Zhen nodded, discussed with Ling Yun, and then instructed Liu Yong to stay and deal with the affairs of the village; Then he and Ling Yun went out of the cottage and led people to look for Hua Ruyu's whereabouts.

At the same time, the two agreed: no matter who it is, once they find Hua Ruyu, they will immediately fly the pigeon and send a message to inform each other to come and meet.

The plan was over, and the two groups of people went their separate ways.

But said that Ling Yun took a hundred and ten guards to search for Hua Ruyu's whereabouts. Seeing that the sun is waning, it is still in vain.

When everyone was depressed, they suddenly faintly heard the woman's cry and cry for help from the valley.

Everyone listened with bated breath, and the voice seemed to come from the east side of the cliff. Ling Yun led people to search for sound, and finally found the woman who was shouting for help at the bottom of a cliff.

At that time, the woman was hanging on the branch of a pine tree, and her hands were holding on to the branch that was leaning out of the side, and her delicate body was trembling in the wind, and she was about to lose her support.

As soon as she saw everyone, the woman immediately shouted like a savior: "Official, official, come and save me!" ……”

Ling Yun's clear eyes flickered, signaling left and right.

A few nimble guards hurriedly climbed the tree and carefully rescued the woman.

Ling Yun glanced at the woman. I saw that her green silk was scattered, and a few parts of her clothes were torn by tree branches, and the shadow showed snow-white skin, which was quite indecent, so I ordered the person next to her to hand over a long robe for her to put on.

The woman stabilized her mind, then her eyes flashed, she bowed down, and said delicately: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

Ling Yun asked, "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”

The woman's face was bleak, and she said quietly: "The little woman is like jade-"

Ling Yunjian raised his eyebrows, "What? Are you a flower like jade? ”

Hua Ruyu said: "Yes." A few days ago, the little woman was kidnapped by Chen Erhu and taken to the cottage, and today the people of the government came here to encircle and suppress the bandits, and Chen Erhu couldn't say that he took the little woman hostage and fled together.

Later, when he saw that the officers and soldiers were about to catch up, he was afraid that carrying the slave family would be a burden, so he pushed the slave family off the cliff in a frenzy and fled for his life.

"If it weren't for the great life of the slave family, who happened to hang on these branches, and were so lucky to meet the officials, the consequences would be unimaginable......" The more she spoke, the more sad she became, hiding her face with her hands, whimpering and crying.

Although Ling Yun listened to her reasonableness, he still had some doubts in his heart, so he ordered the guards around him to take the pictures and drawings of flowers like jade, and carefully compared them with each other.

I saw that although the woman in front of me was disheveled and disheveled; But it is still a moth with high eyebrows, a pink face with spring, charming and enchanting, and a variety of styles.

In particular, the eyes are full of affection, and the water is shining, like ripples quietly spreading, silently tugging at people's heartstrings, making people feel a little distracted and their hearts beat faster at first sight.

Looking at the charming and enchanting stunner in front of him, Ling Yun suddenly appeared in a trance in front of his eyes. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a thin layer of flush unconsciously appeared on his handsome face......

He took a soft breath and closed his eyes, trying to calm his scattered thoughts; When I opened my eyes again, my eyes returned to their usual peace and clarity.

He turned around and handed the figure to the guards beside him, absently concerned.

Hua Ruyu watched Ling Yun's every move intently, and suddenly laughed with a "poof".

The corners of her lips curled, and a pair of hooking fox eyes were teasing with true and false teasing, patrolling Ling Yun's body, and her voice was soft and soft: "If the slave family is not mistaken, Your Excellency is the once famous commander of the Criminal Department Shangshu Mansion Ling, and now the famous Grand Prince of the Hou Ye Mansion, right?" ”

Ling Yun was slightly stunned, a cold light flashed in his cold starry eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "How do you know so clearly?" ”

Hua Ruyu was as charming as silk, and said with a chuckle: "People say that Commander Ling - no, the eldest son of the Hou Yefu has a first-class character, handsome and chic, I still don't believe it, when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation!"

"If a beautiful man like Your Excellency is not the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion, wouldn't the slave family really have no eyes? Gege ......"

Hua Ruyu's smile trembled, almost overwhelming all the guards around.

Everyone looked at the beautiful woman in front of them with fascination, and they were a little lost for a while.

Ling Yun's eyebrows were like knives, and a pair of black eyes looked at her coldly, without any emotion.

He gently hooked the corners of his mouth and said secretly: "No wonder Cheng Qi was confused when she saw her that day, she was fascinated and did such a stupid thing, it seems that this woman is really charming." No matter who it is, if she can't control herself for a while, it's the rhythm that brings her to the ditch! ”……
