The young man named Zhou Xin looked unimpressed, and said lightly: "My lord, don't worry, Na Qincha can't find out anything." ”

Seeing him like this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he said: "Even if you don't leave any evidence when you kill people, as long as Naqin Cha finds out that the cargo ship in the port has something to do with the Yamen, he will immediately suspect me.

When the time comes, if he catches me and sends me to the capital division, no matter how powerful your priests are, they will not be able to save me. ”

Zhou Xin looked at him and said: "The adult is the same as the fifth grade, and the Qincha is only the fourth grade, without evidence, where does he have the right to send the adult to the Beijing Division?" ”

When he heard this, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he heard a rush of footsteps at the door.

Follow.

An errand officer walked in quickly, with an anxious look on his face, and said, "My lord, something has happened! ”

Lanzhou Tongzhi's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The messenger said: "A group of guards from the Qincha suddenly arrived at the gate of the yamen, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and they looked menacing, and asked them what they were going to do, but they did not say, only that they were ordered by Lord Qincha. ”

When the Tongzhi of Lanzhou heard this, his heart completely sank to the bottom.

But.

After a short period of panic, he quickly calmed down, waved his hand, and pretended to be calm: "The official knows, you go back." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The officer saluted and walked away quickly.

A moment later.

The two of them were the only ones left in the room.

Lanzhou Tongzhi turned his head to look at Zhou Xin, and said in a deep voice: "You leave through the back door, remember, no matter what happens, don't conflict with that Qincha." ”

Now.

Zhou Xin also realized the seriousness of the problem, bowed slightly, and said, "Okay." ”

Then, turn around and leave the house.

Came to the back door with a familiar car, stopped, let go of the original god, and found that there was no one guarding the door.

"Blocking the yamen, only sealing the main gate, is really a gentleman, it's ridiculous!"

Zhou Xin sneered, without the slightest hesitation, and left the yamen quickly.

What he didn't notice was.

Just around the corner.

A pair of deep eyes were staring at him without blinking.

Meanwhile.

In the lobby of the yamen.

Ren Pingsheng met the long-overdue Lanzhou Tongzhi.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Qincha."

Tongzhi stood in place and saluted.

Ren Pingsheng waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to be polite.

After getting up, he asked without humility or arrogance: "My lord, but I found out that the cause of death of the previous three prefects is related to the Yamen of Lanzhou?" ”

The implication is that since you have sent someone to block the yamen, you should give a suitable reason.

This suitable reason must at least be that there are murderers who killed the three prefects hidden in the yamen.

Otherwise, you will be arrogant and arrogant.

After Ren Pingsheng heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, smiled on his face, and said, "Lord Tongzhi guessed well, this official did find some clues in this yamen......

Guess again, who is this case related to the yamen? ”

Lanzhou Tongzhi said expressionlessly: "Lord Qincha has such a big battle, don't you think that Xia Guan is the murderer who killed the three prefects." ”

The voice fell.

Ren Pingsheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Tongzhi could also pinch it...... Guess right, it's you who the officer suspects. ”

When the Tongzhi of Lanzhou heard this, his face turned cold, and he said word by word: "Although the lower official was born in a small way, unlike Lord Qincha, who was the queen of the prince, but he was also the imperial court where the imperial examination scholars entered, and he was the five products of the same knowledge of the saint.

Adults can suspect the lower officials, and they can also impeach the lower officials to the Holy Lord, but they cannot detain the lower officials without reason without evidence......"

As soon as the words fell.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind sounded in the house.

Before he could react to what was happening, he felt his neck flutter.

Subconsciously reached out and found that his fingertips were full of blood.

"You...... You ......"

Lanzhou Tongzhi's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Ren Pingsheng in disbelief.

In any case, he did not think of it.

The Qin Cha in front of him dared to do it to himself without the slightest evidence, and even used a weapon.

Although it is only a superficial wound, it is not life-threatening.

But such an arrogant behavior still shocked him.

The other side.

Ren Pingsheng looked light-hearted, slowly stood up from the chair, walked in front of him, and said lukewarmly: "I wanted to leave you some dignity, but I didn't expect you to be ......

To tell you the truth, this official is the Qincha sent by His Majesty, first cut and then played, the imperial power is licensed, you are a small five-grade Tongzhi, and you may be able to be regarded as a character in this Lanzhou City.

But in the eyes of this official, there is no difference between it and stinky fish and rotten shrimp, even if there is no reason, this official will kill you.

After killing, it is nothing more than taking a few words of scolding above the court, if you don't kill it, those people in the court will also scold the official, so whether you kill or not depends only on the mood of the official. ”

When he heard this, his eyes showed anger, and he glared at Ren Pingsheng, wanting to say something, but thinking of what had just happened, he still chose to be silent.

Seeing him like this, Ren Pingsheng smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "This official really thought that you were not afraid of life and death, and you were upright, but I didn't expect that you were just pretending to be goods." ”

“……”

Lanzhou Tongzhi looked angry, but still did not speak.

Ren Pingsheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, waved his hand, and said casually: "In the past few days, you should think about it, whether to confess to this official or go directly to death."

If you confess, the official will spare your life, but if you are obsessed and insist on going your own way, the official will only kill you. ”

Lanzhou Tongzhi was slightly stunned, and couldn't help asking: "The lower official didn't make a mistake, even if the adult kills the lower official, how can he deal with it?" ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "For the sake of power, killing the three governors of Shanzhou, is this called not making a mistake?" ”

The Tongzhi of Lanzhou was stunned again, and said in a deep voice: "The lower official has never done this, don't convict the lower official out of thin air." ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "Whether you killed the prefect or not, you know it in your own heart, as for the so-called conviction out of thin air, after killing you, the evidence will naturally be available......

Besides, even if there is no evidence, the official will kill you to vent his anger, and just said it, it is nothing more than a few words of scolding. ”

This...... This......

No matter what the relationship is today, I can't escape a dead word?

Lanzhou Tongzhi didn't expect Ren Pingsheng to be so shameless, he was dumbfounded and speechless.

It took a while to calm down, gritted his teeth and said: "The husband is angry, and the blood is still splashed five steps, although the lower official is a literati, he also has the power of six Confucian beings, even if he dies, he will not give in easily!" ”

Seeing him like this, Ren Pingsheng was not angry, but raised his eyebrows, quite excited: "This official has never fought with Confucian Sheng, you want to splash blood for five steps, this official doesn't mind." ”

When he heard this, he couldn't help but recall the amazing knife just now, and fell silent.

He knew it in his heart.

His own strength can't compete with this young Chin Cha at all.

Ren Pingsheng looked at him and asked with a smile: "Didn't you want blood to be splashed for five steps, why didn't you speak again?" ”

Lanzhou Tongzhi gritted his teeth and endured it.

Ren Pingsheng waited for a long time, and when he saw that he didn't mean to do anything, he shook his head and said, "Don't dare to do it, why bother talking this nonsense......"

After saying that, as if he was too lazy to entangle with him any longer, he stood up and left the room.

Lanzhou Tongzhi stood in place, staring at his back, his eyes full of anger and resentment, but there was nothing he could do.

The other side.

After Ren Pingsheng left the yamen, he summoned Li Yong and asked, "After blocking the yamen, what is abnormal?" ”

Li Yong said: "There is a young man who left through the back door, and he has already sent someone to follow according to the instructions of the prince. ”

Ren Pingsheng bowed slightly, and advised: "Send a few more people to keep an eye on Na Lanzhou, and carefully observe every word and deed, record carefully, and don't be careless." ”

Li Yong responded: "I understand my humble duties! ”

Ren Pingsheng reached out and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and turned to leave.

…………

The other side.

Inn, somewhere in the room.

Qiu'er was looking at her young lady excitedly, and asked curiously, "Miss, the prince of the world...... What do you think? ”

Mu Rou was slightly stunned, her expression became a little strange, and she stopped talking for a while, before she said, "I...... I don't remember. ”

"Don't remember?"

Qiu'er was a little confused and said, "Didn't Miss live in Shizi's house last night?" ”

Mu Rou nodded: "Yes." ”

Qiu'er said: "Then why don't you remember?" ”

Mu Rou said: "I fell asleep last night. ”

Qiu'er: "......"

Mu Rou recalled everything that happened last night, a faint flush appeared on her pretty face, and she lowered her voice and said, "But what I know, Ren Gongzi didn't do anything while I was asleep." ”

When Qiu'er heard this, her expression became a little strange.

After hesitating for a moment, he leaned over to Mu Rou and said in a mosquito-like voice: "The more this is the case, the more Miss must pay attention to it." ”

Mu Rou's eyes showed a puzzled look and asked, "Why?" ”

Qiu'er said: "Because the slave maid heard others say that if a man faces the person he loves, he can't restrain himself, and last night the prince did not take advantage of the danger, which means that the prince's feelings for the young lady have not reached the point of course, and he did not refuse, maybe just because he has a good impression of the young lady." ”

Mu Rou was slightly stunned: "Is that so?" ”

Qiu'er said with an affirmative face: "Of course it is!" ”

Mu Rou was in a trance for a few seconds, then suddenly thought of something, turned her head to look at her, and asked, "How does Sister Qiu'er know this?" ”

Qiu'er's eyes dodged for a moment, and said, "I heard from others." ”

The manifestation of weakness of heart is too obvious to be seen at a glance.

Mu Rou asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

If she's not mistaken.

Whether it is in the prince's mansion in Jingshi, or when you come to this city.

Qiu'er has never been in contact with any men.

On her own, she categorically did not dare to say it with such certainty.

"Listen to Sister Tao'er."

After Qiu'er finished speaking, she immediately changed the topic: "What does Miss think of the taste of last night's plum wine, do you want the slave maid to buy some more." ”

Mu Rou didn't answer, just looked at her with scrutinizing eyes.

Qiu'er saw that she couldn't hide it anymore, gritted her teeth, and finally told the truth: "These are what the slave maid saw from the book." ”

"Books?"

Mu Rou was stunned.

What book would talk about this nonsense?

Just when he was wondering in his heart.

Qiu'er confessed again: "It's the books that the slave bought from Moyunzhai." ”

"I see......"

Mu Rou's face showed a sudden look.

Soon thought of the contents of those books, and his delicate face instantly turned red, and he whispered: "Didn't I say that those books can't be read." ”

Qiu'er blushed and whispered, "Miss won't let me see it, and when no one is around, I don't watch it myself." ”

Mu Rouqiao's face turned even redder and said, "How could I ever read a book like that alone?" ”

Qiu'er said: "Before leaving for Lanzhou, the young lady looked at the desk for a while, and then she carried it with her and put it in the package, otherwise the slave maid would not be able to see it even if she wanted to." ”

Mu Rou felt her face burn for a while, and retorted: "I was afraid that those books would be found if they were left in the mansion, which would damage the majesty of the Shizi Mansion, so I brought them with me...... As for what you said about reading it for a while, I'm just flipping through a few pages to see if it's just those books. ”

Qiu'er didn't believe her young lady's words, and her expression looked a little unconvinced, but she didn't say anything more, just remained silent.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Mu Rou opened her mouth and said, "Those books are put there now, Sister Qiu'er will take them out and burn them." ”

Qiu'er was slightly stunned and said, "Such a good book, what are you doing by burning it." ”

What a good book.

It's clearly ...... It's unsightly.

Mu Rou thought so in her heart, but she didn't say so, just said, "Burn it." ”

Qiu'er saw that her young lady was so resolute, and she couldn't say anything more.

I found the books and prepared to burn them in the stove room in the backyard, but before I could go out, I heard a sound of footsteps outside the house.

This was followed by a familiar, magnetic voice.

"Is Miss Mu here?"

It's the son of the world!

Qiu'er's eyes lit up, her eyes showed joy, and she hurriedly agreed: "Here, the prince of the world, please come in." ”

As soon as the words fell.

In hindsight, he still had those books in his arms.

Just as I was looking for a place to hide, the door was slowly opening.

"It's over! These books must not be seen by the Son! ”

Qiu'er looked at the open door, and her nervous breathing stagnated for a moment.

She clutched the books in her arms tightly, and stood motionless for fear that something would go wrong.

A few breaths later.

Ren Pingsheng walked into the house, saw Qiu'er standing at the door, holding a few books in his arms, like a sculpture, and asked curiously, "Miss Qiu'er, is this?" ”

Qiu'er was nervous, and even her voice trembled a little: "No, it's nothing ......"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and walked out.

"What's going on? The mysterious ......"

Ren Pingsheng looked at Qiu'er and thought so in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and took the initiative to turn sideways to make way for her.

The two passed by.

Because I was too nervous.

Qiu'er's hands and feet were a little numb, she stumbled under her feet, and almost fell to the ground, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "Oops......"

Side.

Ren Pingsheng's eyes were quick, and he reached out to help her.

Almost at the same time.

Qiu'er didn't hold the books in her hand steadily, and fell to the ground.

It's a coincidence.

A breeze blew outside the door.

Flipping through the pages, the contents were revealed.
