Chapter 44: It's She

Cheng Qian looks like a bear now, and he can't do anything he wants, but he just wants to stay by his "little cousin" for a while, and he feels comfortable.

Ruan Jiaojiao glared back at him viciously at first, but it was boring to watch too much, so she found a corner inside to think of countermeasures.

Cheng Qian wanted to stay a little longer, but there were a few coughs outside, and he had to put down a few words to scare Ruan Jiaojiao, and then walked out.

It was dark and cold in the cell, and although it was already spring, it was still very cold at night.

Ruan Jiaojiao hugged her knees and shrunk into a ball, she walked through to be the official lady, even if she eloped with Qin Zhiyan for a few days, she had never suffered like this.

After waiting all day, there was no porridge in the prison, and there was not even a mouthful of hot water. She was a salted fish who wanted to lie down, and she was fully prepared to escape, who knew that she would be mixed into this miserable appearance.

Suddenly, a small gray thing jumped in the corner, accompanied by a "squeak" sound.

"Ahh Ruan Jiaojiao jumped up in fright, as timid as her, rats and cockroaches and the like were her natural enemies.

Ruan Jiaojiao hid in the corner, her eyes firmly fixed on the direction in which the mouse ran out, for fear of another one popping out.

There was a sound of rustling under the straw mat, and Ruan Jiaojiao's nerves tensed again.

Cold, hungry and afraid, she persevered for a while, and finally couldn't help but fall asleep against the wall.

Outside the prison, the county magistrate stood beside Qin Yue shivering, wiping the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

Qin Yue lazily looked at the household registration recorded on his desk: "Ruan Xiujie, who is this person?" ”

Where did the county magistrate have any impression of those people, he trembled and took the household registration book and looked at it: "This, this person has only recently settled in Yuncheng and is from another country." It seems to be a distant cousin of a widow Sue. ”

"Have you seen this man?"

"Well, this official, this official has never seen it."

"Smack!" Qin Yue threw the book on the table, "Then what kind of household registration did he have?" You have never even seen it, and you dare to send someone a household registration? Aren't you afraid that he is a fugitive from a foreign country who has wandered here? ”

The county magistrate remembered a little, he really hadn't seen this person, but he had seen the silver sent by Widow Su.

Widow Su asked the people below to give her little cousin a household registration, and the master handled it single-handedly, and she didn't know anything about the other county orders.

"His Royal Highness King Jing is looking for this person?" The county magistrate asked cautiously.

In fact, Qin Yue had found this person earlier.

"Well, bring this man to the king."

"Yes, yes, the next official will do it." The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know what this Ruan Xiujie came from, and it was not good to think about it, otherwise how could he let King Jing find out.

The county master hurriedly found the master: "Widow Su's little cousin a while ago, do you remember?" ”

The master sighed in his heart: "Naturally remember, why did the adults suddenly mention him?" ”

"Quick, go get him."

The master's eyes rolled: "What did he do?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness King Jing wants to see him."

The master hurriedly said, "My lord, this person is in our prison now!" ”

*

When the official errand appeared, Ruan Jiaojiao thought that she was here to deliver food. As a result, when she saw that the person who came was empty-handed, she felt even hungrier.

"Get up!" The officers and soldiers shouted angrily.

Ruan Jiaojiao really didn't have much strength, "Do you want to take me to the court?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you've done a lot of things."

Ruan Jiaojiao sighed in her heart, "What else did I do?" ”

"Don't talk too much, let's go." The official viciously pushed her and pushed her to the ground.

People were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, and Ruan Jiaojiao could only walk out silently. But the official did not take her to meet anyone, but took her to an empty courtyard.

"Wait here."

Behind the courtyard wall, the county lord looked at Qin Yue inexplicably.

Qin Yue didn't have any expression on his face, he looked at Ruan Jiaojiao standing in the middle of the courtyard through the round cave door. Her long hair was coiled up, and she wore a man's hair in a bun, and her clothes were a little messy, showing a little embarrassment. is not the same as the well-dressed official lady in the past.

Qin Yue looked at her for a long time, with mixed feelings.

When he knew that Ruan Jiaojiao had eloped with Qin Zhiyan, he was really angry and wanted to strangle this unknown woman.

Thinking that she and Qin Zhiyan traveled together, visited the night market together, and bought Rausch wood carvings, Qin Yue wanted to crush that thing.

But later, when he arrived in Yuncheng, he found that Qin Zhiyan was also looking for Ruan Jiaojiao like a headless fly.

Qin Yue couldn't help but laugh for the first time in so many days.

He really loved Qin Zhiyan so much that he loved Ruan Jiaojiao so much that he could abandon everything and elope with him, it turned out that Qin Zhiyan was also a big wrongdoer. It's just a stepping stone for Ruan Jiaojiao to escape from marriage.

But Qin Yue is not Ruan Jiaojiao in the end, I don't know what she thinks in her heart. Since she ran out, why didn't she continue to rely on Qin Zhiyan, but opened an embroidery workshop here?

Could it be that he really disgusted Ruan Jiaojiao so much?

Qin Yue's face was cloudy, and the county master waited for a long time before he asked tentatively: "Lord Wang, what are you looking for?" ”

"Yes."

"Then I'm going to hand over the prisoner to you?"

"No, it's time to close."

"Close, lock up the ......" The county master made a difficulty. Before bringing the man over, he must have asked him what he had done and why he had been brought in.

When the master encounters a big event, he doesn't dare to cover up his cousin. It is said that this person broke Cheng Qian's head and seriously injured Cheng Qian, so he locked him up.

The county master also knew that the master would make some small moves on weekdays, but it was a fact that Ruan Jiaojiao beat someone, and she was also justified in the county government, so she was a little relieved.

But after the beating, he was locked up...... It's just a small case, and it's going to be heard soon. How should it be judged?

Now it seems that this person has something to do with King Jing, and the county magistrate also looked at Ruan Jiaojiao carefully, as long as she looked closely, it was not difficult to see that she was a delicate woman.

Besides, two months ago, King Jing had made a big move here to find a woman, and I thought it was the one in front of me.

If the county magistrate doesn't even have this look, he won't be an official.

Qin Yuelai came to the county government to take a look at Ruan Jiaojiao, and then left again without explaining anything.

This is difficult for the county master, and he even secretly complains about the master, and now he can't let it go, and it won't be closed. You shouldn't have brought this hot potato in.

Ruan Jiaojiao was inexplicably taken out for a walk, and then taken back to prison. But on the way back, the official's attitude towards her was a little subtle.

No more rudely pushing and shoving her, no more yelling.

After locking her in, he even politely asked her what she needed.

Ruan Jiaojiao said: "Can you provide food in this prison? ”

"Of course, there is, but I haven't eaten yet."

Soon the jailer brought food and hot tea. Although it is not abundant, it is clean and hot, and it is already a very rare food in this prison.

The jailer even held a quilt in his hand!
