Chapter 43, Occupational Diseases
This kind of Shen Yuan was something Bai Qiurui had never seen before, and she felt a lot more relaxed in the face of such a man in front of her.
The expression that would not have been shown in front of him in the past was directly and unreservedly displayed now.
Before, Bai Qiurui sighed helplessly: "This matter is a long story, and it is probably a little girl who has many disasters." ”
With such an angry and helpless appearance, the youngest daughter was full of posture, and in front of Shen Yuan, the previous ice cube, Bai Qiurui couldn't say if she was killed.
It's just that she doesn't know what's going on now, she hasn't seen Shen Yuan like this, so she can't help but say it.
When Shen Yuan heard this, she remembered the murderer she had met in the palace before, and now she had met an evil monk with bad intentions, it was indeed a little unfortunate, and she had encountered dangerous things.
Moving his lips, Shen Yuan was just about to say something, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Mingyu walked in.
"Sister."
Xiao Mingyu shouted Bai Qiurui as soon as she entered the door, and the next second she realized that Shen Yuan was also there.
"Lord Shen is also here, and I haven't thanked you for coming to the rescue."
Xiao Mingyu faced his savior, and stepped forward to salute.
She remembered in her heart that if Shen Yuan hadn't appeared, maybe she and Bai Qiurui might not have been able to get out of danger.
Shen Yuan motioned to Xiao Mingyu not to be polite, but saw that the other party suddenly stared straight at Bai Qiurui, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Sister, your neck ......"
Originally, several people didn't notice it, but now that Xiao Mingyu said this, Shen Yuan suddenly found that the little woman's white neck was dyed with a touch of red.
Bai Qiurui saw Xiao Mingyu's expression, her face was inexplicable, and her expression was a little dazed.
What happened to her neck?
With the reminder, Bai Qiurui wanted to reach out and touch it to see what was going on.
As soon as his fingertips touched the skin on the left side of his neck, a sudden pain welled up.
"Hiss......"
With a small cry of pain, Bai Qiurui withdrew her hand and looked at it. A stain of bright red blood appeared on the white fingertips.
When did the neck hurt?
Bai Qiurui has been tense since the back mountain of Nanyue Temple, and even though she deliberately relaxed at this moment, the defense in the depths of her heart has not weakened.
At this time, when she felt the blood on her neck, it seemed that the senses of her whole body gradually returned to their normal state.
After touching the blood, Bai Qiurui wanted to reach out and continue to touch it to see where the injury was.
As soon as he reached out and touched the halfway point, he was suddenly firmly clasped by a powerful palm.
When he looked up, he saw Shen Yuan's cold face with a hint of disapproval.
His movements were steady, and his hand grasping Bai Qiurui was very firm, his good-looking brows were furrowed, and his dark eyes were firmly fixed on her neck.
Seeing that Bai Qiurui obediently did not resist, Shen Yuan let go of her wrist in the next second. The warm, powerful palm gently caressed the side of her ear, and the fingertips picked at the thick black hair.
"Don't mess around."
Shen Yuan's deep magnetic voice sounded in Bai Qiurui's ears, and such a close distance made her feel the warm breath of a man.
Bai Qiurui's body stiffened, her face burned suddenly, and her ears turned red.
Shen Yuan also noticed Bai Qiurui's peach-like cheeks at this moment, but after he stopped the little girl's random touching, he still didn't retreat, carefully examining her injuries.
It is not a big deal for the man to have a scar on his body, at most he is a little angry.
But if there is an extra scar on the youngest daughter's body, even if the location is not easy to detect, it is still broken.
The girl's family already cherishes her appearance, how can this little girl be unique.
I didn't shout when I was injured, and I wanted to touch the wound with my hands and feet, which would be good if it was infected and left a scar.
It seems that he is more concerned about her injuries.
Bai Qiurui blushed at the moment and let Shen Yuan check the injury, thinking of the other party's undeniable 'don't touch it', her heart beat wildly.
How did such a gentle sentence come to Shen Yuan's mouth with a command-like tone?
About the criminal department of Shangshu, occupational disease?
After waiting for only a few breaths, Shen Yuan had already finished checking her neck.
"The injury is not serious, the wound is not big, it is just a skin injury."
Taking out a small red medicine bottle from his sleeve, Shen Yuan wanted to put the wound on Bai Qiurui by himself, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Xiao Mingyu was still on the side, so he handed the medicine bottle to her instead.
"Her injury is at the back of her neck, and I'm afraid that I will be inconvenienced, so I have to ask the girl to help."
Shen Yuan still remembered in his heart that there was a difference between men and women, and now handed the medicine bottle to Xiao Mingyu.
After informing the two of them to stay in the Criminal Department for the time being tonight, Shen Yuan left the room directly, just because of such a toss, it was already dark outside, and it was inconvenient for him to stay as a big man.
Xiao Mingyu grabbed the porcelain bottle and gave Bai Qiurui medicine, only to see a red wound on her white neck.
rushed back to the Punishment Department from Nanyue Temple, and the wounds had been slightly coagulated along the way, but a lot of blood had also flowed outside.
The location of the wound was hidden, Bai Qiurui was nervous and didn't notice it, and the little girl who had just changed her clothes didn't notice it because she had long hair covering her neck.
Looking at the bright red wound, Xiao Mingyu knew that if it weren't for Bai Qiurui's desperate resistance, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand here properly.
So, part of the reason for this wound is also because of herself.
Thinking about it like this, Bai Qiurui became more and more attentive to Bai Qiurui's medicine, which was to save herself and the injury of danger.
Bai Qiurui didn't pay much attention to the injury on her neck, she guessed that she was finally broken free from the shackles by the fat monk and fell to the ground.
Now Bai Qiurui is not thinking about scars, and the injuries on her neck are secondary.
The important thing is that she couldn't get Han Muze to give up marrying her today, and because the two monks behind her made such a fuss, her idea of going to see the Lantern Festival after burning incense was ruined.
Now that the plan to persuade Han Muze has failed, Bai Qiurui can only put all her hopes on the case.
If her expectations are correct, the Criminal Department will usher in the case of Ning Wangfu in two days.
I hope that Shen Yuan will live up to his trust and make this case a big one......
Silently prayed in her heart, Xiao Mingyu also helped her get the medicine.
The private room for two is spacious and the bed is big enough. In order to reduce the trouble, Xiao Mingyu and Bai Qiurui discussed, and simply squeezed together.
As soon as it was dawn, after Bai Qiurui and Xiao Mingyu cleaned up, there was already a girl outside the door who brought them breakfast.
After a night of repair, Bai Qiurui's spirit was better, and she planned to wait for dinner to have dinner and ask Shen Yuan to take her to meet the fat monk while the Bai family had not yet come.
Xiao Mingyu ate in a sullen voice, and suddenly asked Bai Qiurui coldly: "Sister, what should we say about the things in the back mountain?" ”
Yesterday, Shen Yuan had already let people report that they were safe, and if they wanted to come to the house today, someone should come to pick them up.
Bai Qiurui was also thinking about how she would tell the people in the house about what had happened later.
After thinking about it, she finally felt that she was telling the truth, and she simply skipped the fact that she and Xiao Mingyu were intentionally bullied by the two monks.
Anyway, they weren't really hurt, so there's no need to say it for speculation. Of course, if it really hurts, you can't say anything.
After eating in a hurry, Bai Qiurui asked the rough maid in the Criminal Department to find out that Shen Yuan had returned to his house last night and had not yet arrived at the Criminal Department.
The little girl was very puzzled after speaking, saying that Shen Yuan almost ate and lived in the Criminal Department, and rarely went back to her house every month.
I don't know what it was for last night, not only did I let the two girls in my house come over, but I also went back to the house by myself.
After the maid said this, Bai Qiurui understood.
It turned out that Shen Yuan actually found a girl from her house last night, no wonder she was quite strange in her heart, how could the rough girl of the Criminal Department even dress up so skillfully.
Come to think of it, the clothes she wore yesterday were not found casually by Shen Yuan all over the street.
The little girl in his house is clever, and she lies one by one, and she has deceived her.
Last night, because of the presence of the doctor and Xiao Mingyu, Bai Qiurui didn't mention her clothes, and now that she learned about such a thing, her idea of going to ask Shen Yuan by the way was dispelled.
Anyway, it's just a piece of clothing, and she's wearing it all, so she's a little embarrassed to ask again.
Just as she was about to return to her room, Bai Qiurui suddenly met an unexpected person.
"White girl?"
Bai Qiurui looked at Zhou Huaiyuan's surprised look, she endured the pain in her ankle and reluctantly bowed.
She didn't expect to see Zhou Huaiyuan in the Criminal Department.
Today, Zhou Huaiyuan was dressed in a lake-blue brocade robe, with a white jade belt around his waist, and narrow-sleeved and thin-waisted clothes, which made him look tall and outstanding.
Zhou Huaiyuan's eyes looked Bai Qiurui up and down for a moment, and then he walked up to Bai Qiurui and spoke with a puzzled expression.
"This is the Criminal Department, how can the White Girl be here?"
Zhou Huaiyuan didn't know the relationship between Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan, and at this moment he thought that Bai Qiurui was involved in some case.
Therefore, before Bai Qiurui could explain, he said, "Bai girl, isn't there any case involved?" ”
Bai Qiurui just wanted to explain when she heard this, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she changed her words when it came to her mouth.
"Yes, there is a small case that requires a little woman to be a witness."
Bai Qiurui looked at Zhou Huaiyuan calmly, and said with a smile.
At the same time, she was slandering in her heart, she was not only a witness in this case, but also a victim......
Zhou Huaiyuan wanted to ask something when he heard this, but was disrupted by a footstep.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Shen Yuan's face calm, walking over with unhurried steps.
This next week, Huaiyuan didn't continue to talk to Bai Qiurui anymore, and after talking to Shen Yuan for a few official words, he turned around and left.
"My lord, can I let the little girl go and see the monk?"
Bai Qiurui directly stated her purpose to Shen Yuan, the more she thought about it during her meal this morning, the more she felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the monk, so she wanted to ask him more carefully.
Shen Yuan didn't refuse Bai Qiurui's request this time, he thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "It just so happens that they have already arrested the lone person, and the white girl is just going to see if it is the person she is looking for." ”
"So fast, already caught?"
Bai Qiurui was a little surprised, she looked at Shen Yuan's dark eyes, and saw a rare chill in the other party's eyes.
Looking at Shen Yuan's appearance, it seemed that because of the two monks, he was unhappy in his heart.
"Zhang Huwei and his guards searched the mountain behind Nanyue Temple overnight, and finally found someone in a hidden cave."
Shen Yuan's tone was cold, and he coldly spit out a few words, and then his gaze eased the moment he looked at Bai Qiurui.
He looked down at Bai Qiurui's leg, and then said, "The injury on your foot is not healed yet, I will have someone take him to the house." ”
Bai Qiurui was flattered when she heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't be so troublesome, my injury has rested all night, and it is much better now." I also applied medicine last night, and now walking a few steps is out of the way. ”
Shen Yuan frowned when he heard Bai Qiurui's words, he still didn't say anything more after all, just nodded and took the lead in leading the way.
Bai Qiurui followed behind Shen Yuan, watching the man's pace deliberately slow down but walking extremely naturally, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
I didn't expect that Shen Yuan was such a cold person, and there was such a time when he was so careful.
When they arrived at the place, the prison of the Criminal Department that Bai Qiurui saw, and the sinners of the Great Zhou Dynasty who were full of evil, were all locked up inside.
Just standing at the door of the prison, Bai Qiurui could feel a sense of slaughter and anger.
The entrance of the dark dungeon is like a monster opening its big mouth in a black hole, and you can smell the cold smell in front of you, and you can faintly hear the unwilling and roaring of the prisoners inside.
"Are you afraid?"
Shen Yuan stopped at the door of the dungeon and suddenly asked Bai Qiurui.
Bai Qiurui, who was immersed in her own thoughts, came back to her senses, she looked at Shen Yuan's cold and handsome face, and shook her head.
She didn't know that the delicate young lady in ancient times was not enough to be frightened by the sight of the dungeon.
Shen Yuan looked at her and suddenly thought of the first time he went to the scene of the case with Bai Qiurui.
At that time, this little girl also looked like she was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and even dared to enter the morgue.
It's true that he is too worried about himself, looking at her plain and delicate appearance, he will always ignore the little girl's guts.
Thinking like this, Shen Yuan suddenly smiled shallowly, and before Bai Qiurui could react, he turned around and stepped into the dungeon.
Bai Qiurui naturally didn't know what this man was thinking, so she saw that the other party was expressionless at first, and finally smiled coldly, which made her confused.
What is this man laughing at?
She just said that she was not afraid, is there anything funny?
Bai Qiurui didn't know why, so she thought about it for a while, and she didn't have a clue, so she simply didn't guess.
After all, Shen Yuan's mind is deep, she has been taught, and it is difficult for her to guess no matter how much she guesses.
Quickly keeping up with Shen Yuan's pace, Bai Qiurui stretched the steps that stretched deep into the ground all the way down. The walls around him were lit with dim oil lamps, and he took a staircase to the prison.
"My lord, I was wronged...... Spare us......"
"Let me out...... I don't dare anymore......"
"Your Excellency...... Please let us out. ”
As soon as he entered the prison, the cries of prisoners begging for mercy were heard from all directions, and Bai Qiurui couldn't help frowning.
It was a distinctive voice that caught Bai Qiurui's attention.
"My lord, I'll recruit, I'll recruit, I'll recruit anything, please spare me."
This voice was particularly familiar, Bai Qiurui narrowed her eyes, and when she listened carefully, she suddenly realized that this was not the voice of the thin monk?
