At night, Hua Rujin was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves.

She got up and put on a thin shirt, and went out to look at the oil lamp in her hand and didn't notice anything unusual, but Ting An yawned and walked in from outside.

"But what happened?"

Hua Rujin rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Ting An: "Why are there people driving horses in the middle of the night?" ”

"Oh, it's Lu Dianshi who just came from Jiangling City."

Ting An replied casually, covering his mouth with a sleepy face and yawning: "Miss Hua, go to sleep early, and I have to go to the Yamen of the Inspection Department early tomorrow." ”

Looking at his perfunctory attitude, Hua Rujin guessed that he was unwilling to talk to herself.

It's just that Lu Xiuyuan came from Jiangling City overnight, presumably something big happened.

But the little scholar refused to say, and she didn't ask any more.

went straight back to the room, lay down and turned off the lights again, but kept thinking about what he heard from Shopkeeper Hu yesterday.

"A bare-eyed, white-eyed monster?"

And the corpse that crawled out of the coffin, these are easy to explain if you think carefully.

After all, Jiang'an County is a remote area, and it is not uncommon for wild beasts to attack humans in the village.

As for zombies, from the perspective of forensic science, I am afraid that the person is not really dead, but because the person's blood circulation, breathing and brain function are highly inhibited, and they are in a weak state of suspended animation.

In this state, the vast majority of the "deceased" must be resuscitated by medical personnel.

But after such a long time, even if that person could really give first aid, there was no chance of survival now.

"If you want to save Nini and those innocent lives, these two things are not the key, the reason why they are rumored to be resentful corpses is because of the large number of floating corpses that appeared in the river."

It's just that the red-eyed and white-eyed monster's attack on humans and zombies happened to come together, and the situation became more and more serious.

In other words, as long as the origin of those corpses in Chu Jiangli can be figured out, this matter will be able to usher in a turning point.

Thinking of this, Hua Rujin couldn't help but think of Ye Chengwei again.

After all, this kind of thing is not something she can ask about, and there must be officials in charge.

In addition to Zhuang Yuanlang, she really can't think of any other person who can fight against the inspection department now.

Don't go to Wen Yuming.

"But Zhuang Yuanlang's words today obviously also show his attitude, and he doesn't want to offend the people of the Inspection Division."

Thinking like this, Hua Rujin was worried again.

Tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, seeing that the sky was getting brighter, she didn't think of a suitable way to persuade Ye Chengwei.

Put on the men's clothes he prepared, sat in front of the mirror and began to pull his hair in a bun, just after it was tied, he suddenly heard the voice of Momiji sound outside:

"Miss Hua, I have prepared some elegant fat powder for you."

Hua Rujin went over and opened the door, and saw the little girl blinking her little eyes and constantly looking at herself: "Miss Hua didn't rest, okay?" ”

"It's just that I woke up earlier, so it's fine."

She took the fat powder handed by Momiji, looked at it lightly, and then sat back at the dressing table and evenly applied some fat powder to her face.

Looking at the new self in the mirror, a handsome and white face.

"It's time for the flower slave to call you a dude."

Momiji smiled and said to her: "Miss Hua is really good-looking, whether she is a man or a girl, she is the best among people." ”

"I'm afraid of being beaten when I go out."

Hua Rujin looked at this outfit all over her body, and the temperament of the Mo Shangren Ruyu was nothing more than that.

I'm afraid that if I meet a rich woman, I don't have to work hard in this life.

"Miss Hua is smart and capable, whoever sees you has to love three points, how dare anyone be disrespectful."

Hongye smiled and kept complimenting, and then handed a folding fan to her: "Look, this is what Ye Gongzi prepared for you earlier, so disguised and dressed, even a slave can't recognize that Miss Hua is a beautiful girl." ”

Hua Rujin shook the folding fan casually, and the breeze blew in his face.

Thinking that the first few times I went to court would always be criticized, and in the future, no one will pick on me when she dresses as a man.

With this thought, she was grateful to Ye Chengwei from the bottom of her heart.

"Ye Gongzi is still in the post house?"

Hua Rujin listened to the quiet courtyard, this guy won't let his own pigeons.

"Ye Gongzi doesn't seem to have come back yet."

Momiji replied with some uncertainty.

"Didn't come back?"

Hua Rujin was suspicious for a while, but before she could ask more, she heard Ting An's voice come in: "Miss Hua, can you prepare properly, my son-in-law told me to leave." ”

The two looked at each other, both surprised.

Thinking of the sound of horses' hooves outside the post house last night, Hua Rujin probably guessed that Zhuang Yuanlang should have gone out on an errand at night without telling him.

Since he didn't want to tell himself, he didn't want to ask more.

Packed up his makeup and went out casually.

When I arrived outside the post house, I saw Ye Chengwei leading Lu Xiuyuan and several messengers waiting at the door.

Everyone looked dusty, although they tried their best to hide the fatigue on their faces, but the weakness of their eyes made Hua Rujin find clues.

It seems that they were not at the inn last night.

muttered to herself, and as soon as she walked to the carriage, Ye Chengwei kept looking back and forth at her with a strange look.

"But what's wrong?"

Hua Rujin was stared at by him, and her face turned red for a while.

Ye Chengwei smiled lightly and shook his head.

I didn't expect this Nizi to look so good in men's clothes.

Then he lifted the curtain and commanded softly: "Let's go, there is a morning market two miles away from the Inspection Division, and we will use some breakfast when we get there." ”

"Okay."

Hua Rujin followed him into the carriage.

In the dim light, although it could hide the fatigue on his face, the dullness of his eyes could not be hidden.

"Why don't you lean back in the carriage and rest for a while?"

Hua Rujin silently calculated the time, he didn't close his eyes for a day and a night.

What a real volume king.

"Not necessarily."

Ye Chengwei replied coldly: "I slept peacefully last night. ”

"Oh, really?"

Hua Rujin approached to look at him carefully, showing a playful face.

Ye Chengwei was flustered in her heart, and hurriedly pinched her little chin, frowned, and said, "What is Miss Hua?" ”

The eyes of the two intertwined with each other and stayed for a moment, and Hua Rujin immediately sat up straight.

Looking at his serious and majestic pretty face, a touch of crimson suddenly appeared, as if he was more shy than himself.

People who don't know are afraid that they will feel that they are slighting him.

Oh, he's a pure little milk dog.

Hua Rujin looked at him and blinked, shook her head quietly, and said, "I think that the county magistrate has all the opportunities every day, and he should combine work and rest." ”

"Well, I made a note of it."

Ye Chengwei bowed slightly.

The whole person is a little absent-minded.

Thinking that the time was only five days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he gradually felt a little anxious in his heart.

Seeing that the carriage had traveled some distance, his eyes were stunned for a moment, and he suddenly came back to his senses, and said to Hua Rujin in a serious tone: "I will go to the inspection department later, I will ask Ting'an to take Miss Hua to visit the little girl of the Cheng family, stay in it less, and after visiting the girl, Ting'an will send you back to the post house as soon as possible." ”

"Ye Gongzi won't go back to the post house with us?"

Hua Rujin suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart.

I always feel that he has a lot of things to hide from himself.

And he took himself to the inspection department, and it couldn't be as simple as simply visiting Nini.

Ahem, I'm also an ally who shares hardships, why does this guy always let himself not see through, if he is about to leave.
