Before she could answer, the rim of the teacup with the smell of warm tea suddenly came to her lips.

She raised her eyes and looked at Mu Jingzhao in front of her, under the flickering light, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he smiled slightly, "Drink, I have already helped you blow it just now, and it won't be burned." ”

At this point, she didn't say much, just stepped forward and took a sip, then reached out to take it, raised her head and drank it.

The tea is moist and has a slight floral fragrance, and a cup of belly makes the dryness in her mouth a little easier.

She handed the empty teacup in her hand to Mu Jingzhao, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "I still want a cup." ”

Mu Jingzhao didn't say anything, walked to the table on the side and poured her another cup of tea, put it to his lips and blew it, and then sent it to Jiang Ning.

After repeating this several times, Jiang Ning's discomfort eased a lot.

When she finally had no intention of drinking tea, Mu Jingzhao took the teacup and put it on the table next to her.

After doing everything, he didn't mean to return to Jiang Ning's side, but turned around and walked to the door on the side.

"You freshen up first, I'm at the door, and when it's done, you call me, and I'll find Ah Zheng to discuss things."

After getting Jiang Ning's affirmative answer, Mu Jingzhao pushed the door and walked out.

When the door was completely closed, she went limp, and instantly lay down on the bed. The dancing candle flame in the room fell on Jiang Ning's eyes, lining her black grape-like eyes as if starlight had fallen, and she reached out and pulled the quilt around her waist to a position where only her eyes were exposed.

The faint scent of ambergris on Mu Jingzhao's body instantly filled the tip of her nose, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the door.

The warm light of the lantern under the porch reflected in the room, and Mu Jingzhao's long figure fell on the bed, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her eyes were a little shy.

Jiang Ning closed her eyes, her gaze withdrew from Mu Jingzhao, she slowly looked at the furnishings in the room, and the smile on her face was even worse.

After a few moments, she lifted the quilt and got up and walked to the table, only to realize that her things for dressing were neatly placed on the table.

She couldn't help but glance at Mu Jingzhao at the door again, didn't make much movement, sat down and began to tidy up her appearance.

In fact, her appearance is not bad, but she cried all the way, plus she slept for so long, her hair was naturally a little unkempt, and it was very easy to tidy up.

In just a moment, Jiang Ning combed his somewhat unkempt hair neatly.

She walked slowly to the door, her petite figure vaguely overlapping with Mu Jingzhao's figure. She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door.

Mu Jingzhao immediately pushed the door in, followed by Lin Zheng.

However, at the moment when Mu Jingzhao pushed the door in, Jiang Ning was caught off guard and collided with him face to face, the shame on Jiang Ning's face did not completely subside, her eyes flowed, and there was a rare charm between her eyebrows.

Mu Jingzhao was slightly stunned, it was the first time he had seen such a look on Jiang Ning's face.

It was the first time he had seen such a look on Jiang Ning's face, she had already given birth to a baby face, her eyes were as clear as a child, if she let go of the past, she would not be associated with the emperor's concubine.

It's just a big family with an arrogant temperament.

Maybe it also has a bit of weed-like vitality that the lady of the big family does not have.

There are innocent, immature and arrogant, lively and smart.

But there is a lack of some of the charming and moving colors that women should have.

With such a look, people can't help but want to love her and spoil her, but it's hard to have any other thoughts.

But at this time, the charming color between her eyebrows and eyes actually added some indescribable bright color to her whole person.

It was a unique color between a girl and a mature woman, like the late spring, when the flowers have not completely receded, and the scorching sun begins to move with vigorous vitality, and the shy green grass and pink peach fruit are at the same time, it is difficult to describe the beauty of the moment, but it is enough to eclipsate the rest of the season.

Seeing that her cheeks were red from Mu Jingzhao's burning gaze, Jiang Ning finally turned her face away a little uncomfortably, and she leaned to the side and gave way.

Mu Jingzhao and Lin Zheng entered the house one after another

When passing by her side, Mu Jingzhao took a deep look at her, and there was a burning heat in his eyes that was not concealed.

It's just that this scorching heat never fell into Jiang Ning's eyes.

Mu Jingzhao sat down at the table, and Lin Zheng stood beside him.

Jiang Ning closed the door and walked to the side of the oil lamp, and all the oil lamps in the house were lit up.

Mu Jingzhao saw her movements, and subconsciously turned his head to glance at Lin Zheng behind him, "You can sit too." ”

Lin Zheng sat down as he said.

When Jiang Ning sat down under the table, Mu Jingzhao slowly spoke, "What did you gain when you went out today?" ”

Lin Zheng didn't answer, but took out a scroll from his arms, spread it out, and put it on the table.

The scroll was so large that it covered the entire table of office the moment it was spread out. The horizontal and vertical lines on it divided the scroll into countless areas, and Jiang Ning recognized at a glance that this was the map of Qingshui County.

On the map, there are several areas that Lin Zheng has outlined with a red pen, and there are dense words written in red pens next to them.

Jiang Ning leaned forward, looked at Lin Zheng's words carefully, and couldn't help but read them out loud.

"The Zhong family, the salt pawn, died on the tenth day of the fifth month, and the whole family was spared except for the family."

"The Li family, the salt pawn. Died on May 12......"

"The Chen family, Yan Yin, died on the eighth ....... of the fifth month"

"Su family, ....... vendors"

Rao is no matter how stupid Jiang Ning is, he still sees a bit of mystery in it.

These people seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, they have nothing to do with selling salt, even if they are just ordinary businessmen, they are probably also involved in salt.

"Why is the interval exactly three days each time?"

Jiang Ning frowned, of course she didn't believe that this was a coincidence, it had been like this for several months in a row, so it naturally had its intentions.

"The rebellion in Qingshui County has been happening for a long time, and the news that comes out is that a group of thugs are committing murder everywhere, and anyone who hears it will subconsciously feel that there is a group of gangsters here who burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil." Mu Jingzhao spoke softly.

Jiang Ning followed his train of thought, and his eyes widened, "The journey from here to the capital is exactly three days. ”

Mu Jingzhao nodded slowly.

"So these people are deliberately making a very serious feeling here, the purpose is to have continuous bad news to the capital, so it seems that the real purpose is not like chaos."

Jiang Ning took a deep breath and spit out the answer that was about to come out.

"It's like you're forcing someone to show up." (End of chapter)
