Chapter 29: Zuo Yingying is imprisoned

The young man was holding a long sword, and as soon as he pushed the door, he saw that Zhou Yichen had already killed the killer, and the strong man was dying. And Zhou Yichen's face was full of disgust, he threw the blood-stained dagger casually, and immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe it.

"Miss, there is not a single living mouth left, this matter is over." The young man pursed his lips.

Zhou Yichen didn't say much, just whispered. The young man looked at her earnestly and spoke again.

"Miss met King Yong successfully this time, what are you going to do next?"

Zhou Yichen raised his eyes and looked at him, "Let him remember me, thinking about it day and night, you say it's okay?"

"Miss laughed, but in a hurry, King Yong shouldn't have taken Miss to heart so quickly."

The man was obviously a little weak when he said this, and he stood with his head down, not daring to look directly into Zhou Yichen's eyes.

She walked slowly, finally standing in front of him, taking his sword-holding hand and shoving the bloodied handkerchief into his palm.

"Kuo has been with me for so long and hasn't learned the rules? You can't find fault with me what I haven't said. ”

Bai Li Shi slowly raised her eyes along her hand, and her voice unconsciously became very soft.

"It's me who trespassed, please punish Miss."

"How can I be willing to punish you?" Zhou Yichen smiled

She reached out and pinched his jaw, her gaze wandering, as if admiring a plaything.

"You're the best card I've ever had. Ah Shi, you remember, I will never send you forward until the critical moment, let alone punish you. ”

Bai Lishi didn't say anything more, just watched Zhou Yichen turn around and slowly walk towards the center of the platform.

"It's a sin to kill in a land temple."

She said to herself, folded her hands and bowed deeply to the statue of the ten earth gods on the altar, looking particularly religious.

"Miss did the right thing, keep these people in the future."

Bai Lishi's eyes stayed on her, and he suddenly found that her dress and the pair of double-line hibiscus soft-soled shoes were splattered with a lot of blood.

"Miss's dress is dirty, I'll go buy a new one and come back."

He turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Yichen.

"Don't want an antidote?"

He paused, and subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand.

Zhou Yichen turned around and said again, "I don't want the antidote because I think you can survive the poison tonight with internal strength?"

"I thought Miss forgot."

"Hmph." She scoffed, walked up behind him, and "Turn around." ”

Bai Lishi didn't disobey her words, and turned around slowly, but still didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

Zhou Yichen took out a small porcelain bottle from his long sleeve and stuffed it directly into his waist, hooked his index finger back, and Baili Shi took a step forward. The two finally met their eyes.

"Your life is more precious than anything else, and I don't want to lose you before I get anything, understand?"

"Understand, I will always accompany Miss, and I will never give up on the sword mountain and the sea of fire!"

The next day, the Division of Criminal Affairs.

The prison is heavily guarded, and Zuo Yingying has been honest since she was imprisoned last night, and she has not gone out on any errands during this period.

At that time, Li Jingwen had already come to the Criminal Division and was arraigning Zuo Yingying.

"Zuo Yingying, the daughter of the former director of the Criminal Division, was demoted to a happy person because of her father's crime."

Li Jingwen casually flipped through the official documents presented in his hand and read the words.

Zuo Yingying knelt on the ground and straightened her waist and bowed her head silently.

"Your father was the last director, so you should know the rules of the Division. Anyone who enters the Division of Punishment is not allowed to go out unless he dies. ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to scare me, no matter what you want to ask, I can only tell you, I don't know!" Zuo Yingying's mouth is hard, and there is a sense of perseverance on her face.

"Don't talk too soon." Li Jingwen looked at her thoughtfully.

Zuo Yingying raised her eyes and looked at him, "Didn't Your Highness just want to ask where the batch of disaster relief grain and grass I sent to Lin'an is now?" His Royal Highness has the ability to do everything, and his eyeliner is all over Nanrao, so why do you need to ask me a little woman. ”

Zuo Yingying had a resolute attitude, looking like she was resisting death, and after giving Li Jingwen a blank look, she withdrew her gaze and turned her face sideways.

Qin Song walked away from Li Jingwen and stood in front of Zuo Yingying, stretched out his hand to straighten her cheek, and screamed.

"You can only answer whatever Your Highness asks you, don't be ignorant! You should be glad that the person who came to interrogate you today is my Royal Highness, if you were to be replaced by anyone in the Criminal Division, you have a good skin, I am afraid that you will have been beaten to the flesh long ago! ”

Zuo Yingying raised his head and glared at Qin Song, Li Jingwen supported his forehead with one hand, and spoke: "Qin Song, didn't you tell you to know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, don't scare the Yingying girl, let go." ”

Li Jingwen said this, Qin Song let go of his hand with disdain, and Zuo Yingying's originally straight waist pole tilted abruptly at this moment.

"Liang Rushi is your mistress, and he approached you and asked you to help deliver the news and contact the person who smuggled the grain and grass. But both of you have forgotten something very important. ”

"I don't understand what His Highness is saying."

Li Jingwen disagreed and sneered. He got up and slowly walked down the steps to Zuo Yingying's side, saying as he walked.

"Huzhou was full of disasters, and the emperor's grandfather ordered the opening of the granary overnight to transport relief grain, and this matter has always been supervised by the household department. All the grain and grass were transported from the granary in Shangjing, half to Huzhou, and half to the Lin'an granary for emergencies. In addition to the imperial grandfather, this matter is only known to the East Palace and the household. “

Li Jingwen said that he had already walked behind Zuo Yingying, and he stretched out his hand and pressed it on her thin shoulder, deliberately lowering his voice.

"How do you know?"

Zuo Yingying suddenly trembled after hearing this, her body couldn't help but tremble, her shoulders shrunk, and her heart was weak to the naked eye.

Li Jingwen hooked his lips and attached his ears, "Let this king guess, Liang Rushi had the foresight to think of this early on and then tell you?" Or is the embezzlement of grain and grass a false harbor of evil intentions? ”

"I can't understand a word of what His Highness said, even if it is really as His Highness said, it is just speculation, and you don't have real evidence."

Li Jingwen straightened up, tapped her shoulder twice, and walked back to sit down again.

"This king doesn't have enough evidence, but this king has you enough."

He picked up a ledger from the table and flipped through it casually, Zuo Yingying's eyes were fixed on the ledger, and he only felt a chill rushing to his brain.

The account book was a fake account she kept truthfully for Liang, and all the grain and grass out of the warehouse did not match the number. But she clearly remembered that she had already sent the account book out, how could it appear in the hands of King Yong now?

"The account book is doing well, but it's a pity that you don't know how to buy people's hearts."

Li Jingwen closed the account book and threw it in front of Zuo Yingying.

Liang Rushi thought that as long as the people who transported the grain and grass were replaced by his own people, he could sit back and relax, but he didn't know that the helpers of the entire granary were all named in the household department, and each of them took the court's money. This matter is also known only to the East Palace and the Tobe. Liang is truthful, this is called being smart, but being mistaken by being smart. ”

"Even if what you say is true, so what? You can't catch Liang Rushi, everything is nonsense. Zuo Yingying responded calmly.

"Well said, I didn't expect Miss Yingying to be so affectionate and righteous. But Liang is really not worthy of your friendship. ”

She looked up at Li Jingwen, her eyes full of puzzlement.

"Did Liang Rushi promise you that he would redeem you and take you away when the matter is completed? Then do you know that he has been married for more than six years, and his wife and children have settled in his hometown. If you go with him, I'm afraid that in the end you won't even have the status of a main room. ”

"You talk nonsense! He promised me that I would redeem myself and leave Shangjing, and you don't want to deceive me with such a lie! Zuo Yingying became excited all of a sudden, and Qin Song immediately grabbed her shoulders and pressed her down.

Li Jingwen shook his head helplessly, a rare pity flashed in his eyes.

He glanced at Qin Song, who immediately understood that he would turn around and leave, and soon brought a woman with him, who was also holding a child who was about five or six years old.

The moment Zuo Yingying saw the woman, there was a moment of emptiness in her mind, and her heart was also very painful, as if some secret was being revealed in a bloody way.

The woman who was brought up was indeed Liang Rushi's wife, the first time this woman went to Shangjing, and it was the first time she came to a place like the Criminal Division, she couldn't help but show her timidity, she held the child's hand tightly and looked around step by step, and finally knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Jingwen.

"The women of the people meet the adults." The woman didn't know Li Jingwen, so she called him the title of magistrate in her hometown.

Qin Song reminded on the side, "This is His Royal Highness King Yong, the eldest son of the current crown prince, you should call His Highness." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then kowtowed her head again, and muttered: "Meet Your Highness, the first time a woman saw His Highness, she didn't know His Highness's dignity." ”

"It's all right, get up." Li Jingwen didn't care about her rudeness.

"This king asks you, do you know this girl next to you?" Li Jingwen asked.

The woman turned her head to make a scrutiny, and finally shook her head.

got a reply, Li Jingwen already had the answer in his heart.

Liang Rushi hid it tightly enough, and his wife didn't know that he had a private meeting with Zuo Yingying in Shangjing, and Zuo Yingying didn't know the existence of this wife.

"Miss Yingying, this person next to you is Liang Rushi's wife, as well as his son. If there's anything else you'd like to ask, just ask. ”

Zuo Yingying looked up at the woman, her gaze wandering away and finally fixed on the child.

It took a long time for her to open her mouth nervously and ask, "Liang Rushi is your husband?" Are you really his wife? ”

Zuo Yingying's words stopped the woman, and she couldn't help but be confused.

"That's right, Liang Rushi is my husband. I met him six years ago, and after three years of marriage, he left his hometown to go to Beijing to do business. You...... You are? ”

She didn't answer the woman's words, tears rolling in her eyes but stubbornly refusing to fall.

Women are not stupid, they immediately understood when they saw Zuo Yingying's expression. She was furious, pointing at Zuo Yingying, trembling a little angrily.

"You, aren't you the amorous debt that my husband provoked outside!?"

Zuo Yingying ignored her, but lowered her head and cried in a low voice, muttering: "It's me stupid!" It's me who is stupid! ”

The woman also cried, she pushed Zuo Yingying hard, and Zuo Yingying fell to the side with an unstable center of gravity.

"Good! Sure enough, it's you, a vixen! No wonder he hasn't been back in the past three years, it turns out that he was tripped up by you fox! ”

The woman was not relieved and raised her hand to fight again, but was stopped by Qin Song.

Qin Song dodged in front of the woman to separate the two of them by a distance, and then reminded her.

"Zuo Yingying is now a felony in the imperial court, and no one is allowed to threaten her without getting definite evidence! Stand down! ”

The woman sobbed and hugged her son tightly in her arms.

Li Jingwen waved his hand, and Qin Song immediately led the woman out of the prison.

"Wanfangyuan is a place where anyone can get involved. Liang Rushi smuggled grain and grass, and needed someone like you to help him with connections and cover-ups. Miss Yingying, although your pipa skills are superb, but the eyes of men are really poor. ”

Zuo Yingying laughed at herself, "It's because I don't know people well, Your Highness doesn't have to humiliate me anymore." ”

Li Jingwen took his hand and said, "This king will give you a day to think about it, and I will wait for your answer tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Outside the Division, Qin Song had already set up the carriage and was waiting at the door, and when he saw Li Jingwen coming out, he immediately greeted him.

"Liang Rushi's wife and children have already arranged a place to live, and there will be no problems. Your Highness, are we going back to the palace now? Qin Song asked.

Li Jingwen was confident, "Enter the palace, let's go watch a good show." ”

"Enter the palace at this moment?"

"It's a matter of time before Liang Rucheng is wanted by the whole city and arrests him, but the forces behind him can't escape, I'm afraid that he is now trying to get rid of the pot on his body. This is a good show that the king doesn't want to miss. ”

Qin Song nodded and said, "My subordinates understand what His Highness means." ”
