Shen Yuan walked unhurriedly in front of him, and from time to time he would pay attention to Bai Qiurui behind her, worried that the injury on her foot would not be able to keep up with the pace.

The dungeon of the Criminal Department was very large, and Bai Qiurui followed Shen Yuan around the two rows of cells to an interrogation room, and the voice heard before was also exceptionally clear.

"My lord, I'll do anything, you go around me, let me go!"

Clearly heard the voice of the thin monk, and now Bai Qiurui didn't need to look to know that this person was right.

Entering the interrogation room, a small room was decorated with various torture instruments, and a thin bald man was tied to a cross next to it.

Not far away, there is a wooden table with a pen and paper inkstone, and next to it there are several stools that cannot be seen in their original colors.

At this time, a man in an official uniform was standing in the room, stretching out his hand and pointing at the man who was tied up, telling him to be honest.

When Shen Yuan entered the door, the man in the official uniform immediately bowed and saluted, and said quite respectfully: "My lord, this monk is willing to confess." ”

Shen Yuan nodded and waved his hand to let the man go down first.

Seeing the familiar figure on the wooden frame, Bai Qiurui's eyes turned cold.

Sure enough, it's this skinny monk!

At this moment, the thin monk also looked up and saw Bai Qiurui, and the brilliance in his eyes suddenly dimmed, and his face was incredulous.

He never thought that the woman he and his eldest brother kidnapped would have a connection with such a big official.

In the face of life and death, the thin monk only paused, and then immediately tried to open his mouth again.

"Girl, it was the villain who was blind before, you don't remember the villain, spare me."

His hands were tied to the wooden frame, and he was trying to struggle at the moment.

After struggling for a long time to no avail, he said eagerly: "I'll recruit, whatever the adults and girls want to know, I'll recruit them all, please spare me." ”

Bai Qiurui only felt funny when he saw the thin monk's fear of death, how did he think of doing this kind of hookup when he was so afraid of death.

Without being polite to him, Bai Qiurui went directly to the topic: "Let me ask you, who instructed you to do such a thing?" ”

Bai Qiurui felt that compared with the fat monk who was quite thoughtful, the words of this thin monk who was greedy for life and afraid of death were more credible.

She always felt that this matter might not be as simple as she imagined, although the Li family was very likely to find someone to do this kind of thing, but when the fat monk identified the Li family at that time, he confessed his guilt too quickly.

If this matter is put on the thin monk, Bai Qiurui is not surprised at all, for example, the current situation.

However, according to Bai Qiurui, it was impossible for that fat monk to confess his behind-the-scenes instructions so easily.

Just after Bai Qiurui asked the question, the thin monk paused when he heard this, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

"You just said that you could recruit everything, and now you don't want to recruit again?"

Bai Qiurui opened her mouth coolly, and she deliberately turned her head to scan the torture instruments in the room.

The thin monk followed her Mu Guang, and naturally saw the creepy torture tools, and he didn't dare to hide them anymore at the moment.

"I recruit, I recruit, yes...... It's Princess Ning! ”

The thin monk lowered his head and showed a bitter expression: "It was Princess Ning who asked us to do this, originally I just wanted to arrest you, and the other girl was arrested by the way......"

The thin monk said that the lower his voice became, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head suddenly, and his whole body began to struggle: "I said it, you should let me go, I just take the money to do things, you go around me!" ”

When Bai Qiurui heard the thin monk's words, she was stunned in place.

Princess? Princess Ning?

Scold!

Good means!

She was negligent, she didn't expect that the person behind this scene was her.

The thin monk's expression did not seem to be fake, and Bai Qiurui was already so angry in her heart that she couldn't help it.

Yes, no wonder she felt that Princess Ning's attitude was too good as soon as they met. So good that she was a little skeptical that such an enlightened person would also come through.

It turned out that she was too naïve.

How many women who can become princesses are vegetarians?

It's because she's too small, and she stupidly thinks that there really is such a gentle woman.

It turned out that she was gentle like water on the surface, but she was ruthless behind the scenes.

As a princess, she did not hesitate to find someone to destroy her innocence.

is also a woman, she should know how important innocence is to a woman at this time.

If she didn't want to be the princess herself, why didn't she agree to the divorce when she mentioned it to her in the wing room of Nanyue Temple?

Is this because I want to be a good person inside and out, and then let her be ruined in private, so that it will be difficult to retreat?

Bai Qiurui endured it for a long time before she tried to suppress the resentment in her heart, and she asked Nangong Yue to see another person again.

Shen Yuan was frowning and thinking deeply because of Princess Ning, who was confessed by the thin monk, and when he heard Bai Qiurui's words, he answered and took her to another cell.

In a separate cell, the fat monk sat alone in the corner of the wall, and with his appearance as a monk, he looked quite like an enlightened monk at first glance.

If it weren't for Bai Qiurui who had seen his most shameless and despicable appearance, I was afraid that he would have been deceived by his appearance.

A person like him, who is inconsistent with his appearance and his dirty mind, is also meditating.

Do you want to temporarily hold on to the Buddha's feet and ask the Buddha to bless him?

Bai Qiurui was pressing fire in her heart at this time, she looked at the monk who was meditating with her eyes closed and said, "Does the master want to hold the Buddha's feet temporarily and beg the Buddha for blessing?" ”

The fat monk suddenly opened his eyes when he heard Bai Qiurui's words, he swept Bai Qiurui's face and turned his gaze to Shen Yuan on the side, and finally didn't say anything.

Bai Qiurui was not annoyed when she saw his appearance, and continued: "Yesterday you said that someone instructed you to harm people, and now I want to hear you say it again. ”

Hearing this, the fat monk looked up at Bai Qiurui, and then looked at him left and right: "Why do you want to say it again after what you said yesterday." ”

Bai Qiurui said: "If you don't say it again, how do I know if the person who instructed you to harm me is the eldest lady or someone else?" ”

Bai Qiurui's words were faint, and it sounded like a little weak from the bottom of her heart, as if her tricks had been seen through by her.

The fat monk was still indifferent when he heard Bai Qiurui's words, and in just one night, he not only never mentioned what the Li family instructed him, but also didn't answer anything.

Seeing this, Bai Qiurui sighed helplessly, she looked at Shen Yuan and said.

"It seems that I can't ask anything, Lord Shen, the little woman wants to ask you to check his identity, maybe it has something to do with Princess Ning."

An understatement, no beginning or end. However, just such a sentence made the fat monk who was still soft and hard and did not eat oil and salt suddenly widen his eyes.

"What does this matter have to do with Princess Ning?" The fat monk spoke.

As everyone knows, his words have already made Bai Qiurui understand everything.

She looked at the fat monk with a smile, and her rosy lips hooked a smile.

"The master doesn't care about his own safety, why do you care so much when I mention Princess Ning?"

After saying that, she didn't continue to spend time with the fat monk, and left the dungeon directly.

Calculate the time, the people of Baifu are almost there.

Bai Qiurui walked to the steps of the dungeon step by step, as the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, it is easy to go down the stairs and difficult to go up the stairs when it is her turn.

The dungeon is repaired underground, and if you want to get out, you naturally have to climb the stairs.

Bai Qiurui's feet were almost good, but it was precisely because of the many and long stairs of the Nanyue Temple that she had a problem climbing now, and now she definitely didn't want to try again.

Shen Yuan followed behind Bai Qiurui, watching the little girl stop in front of the steps thoughtfully, he didn't have to think about it to know the reason, and strode directly to her.

Just when Bai Qiurui was worried about whether to climb one grid at a time, and to take a break from climbing, her arm was grabbed by a warm and powerful palm.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Shen Yuan walking up to her and holding her arm with one hand.

Without excuses, Bai Qiurui said thank you softly, and slowly walked up with the help of Shen Yuan.

Bai Qiurui walked slowly, and Shen Yuan slowly helped her. The short two stairs seem to be as long as an eighteen-story building.

"Makes the adults laugh."

Bai Qiurui lowered her head and paid attention to her feet, and said such a sentence halfway through.

Shen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he could already hear the conversation between the two monks in the dungeon.

He really didn't expect that a little girl would be involved in the palace. What puzzled him even more was why one of them said that it was Lord Bai's main room, the Li family, who instructed him to do this.

"Which one do you trust more?"

Shen Yuan was silent for a moment, and then asked a question.

Bai Qiurui smiled miserably when she heard this, and her tone was sad: "Perhaps, I believe that it was Princess Ning who instigated it." ”

Shen Yuan said in a deep voice: "If there is no evidence, the crime of slandering the princess is not trivial. ”

The two walked while talking, and after Shen Yuan's words fell, Bai Qiurui just stepped up the last step.

She looked calm, struggled to step on the ground, took a deep breath and said: "The prince wants me to marry into the palace as the princess, with my identity, the princess wants to come with a face." ”

Bai Qiurui's tone was a little choked with this sentence, and the words were thick nasal, as if there were endless grievances and helplessness.

The early morning sun shone on Bai Qiurui's body, and she raised her head slightly, bathing in the warm morning sun.

Shen Yuan just looked at her like this, the soft sunlight fell a halo on the little girl's body, and the sunlight reflected on her side face, like a dream, like a person in a painting.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that a crystal tear slipped from the corner of the eye of the person in front of him.

Delicate tears silently crossed her white cheeks, and 'clicked' and fell to the ground.

Shen Yuan's heart suddenly twitched, and the little girl in front of her closed her eyes and greeted the light. Looking at the light of the early morning, but it was so fragile that it made him feel distressed.

What did she go through to show such an attachment but so weak that it seemed to be dissipated as soon as the wind blew.

Since Bai Qiurui came to this world, she has been carefully protecting herself all the time, and at the same time dealing with the dark arrows shot by the house's mother-in-law.

Now she has another marriage that makes countless women in the world blush, and it has pushed her into the abyss.

At this moment, she was standing in the sun, and suddenly her nose was sore, and she couldn't help crying.

Raising her hand to wipe away her tears, Bai Qiurui looked at Shen Yuan beside her, with a stubborn and aggrieved look in her eyes.

She opened her mouth with a cry: "Everyone in the world wants to be a noble princess, but I don't want to do it!" ”

The little girl's eyes were red, her long eyelashes were full of tears, and her pretty face was full of sadness.

Shen Yuan had never seen a woman crying, and at this moment he was a little at a loss, his cold eyes faded away from indifference and alienation, and a tenderness that he had never found himself had ever discovered.

wanted to open his mouth to comfort the fragile little girl in front of him, but Shen Yuan found that he was quite articulate in the past, but now he couldn't find the right words to comfort people.

In the end, Shen Yuan took out a brocade handkerchief embroidered with green bamboo from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Qiurui.

Taking over the Jinpa with the man's fresh and cold breath, Bai Qiurui turned sideways and wiped away her tears.

Shen Yuan looked at the little girl who was aggrieved and determined, and put her voice very soft for the first time.

"Go back first, I'll find out about this matter."

This was the only thing he could do for her, and Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his eyes when he thought of what the two monks were trying to do to Bai Qiurui.

No matter who is the mastermind of this matter, he will find out.

Bai Qiurui took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

When she came back to her senses and saw Shen Yuan's face, she suddenly felt that she was a little too squeamish, and she cried in front of outsiders.

No, you can't let anyone else know about it.

So, in order to protect her face, Bai Qiurui looked at Shen Yuan and said, "The matter of Fang Cai, adults are not allowed to tell others." ”

The little girl's look of being embarrassed and afraid of being known made Shen Yuan smile, and his smiling eyes flickered slightly. In the demonstrative gaze of Bai Qiurui's little beast, he nodded.

The two didn't say anything all the way, and no one mentioned anything about Fang Cai, so they returned to the room.

At this time, someone happened to come to tell him, saying that someone from Baifu asked to see him.

When Bai Qiurui and Xiao Mingyu came to the gate of the Criminal Department, they saw Xiao Mingrui and Bai Shaoyun standing in front of the door.

The moment he saw Bai Qiurui, Xiao Mingrui immediately stepped forward: "Cousin Qiurui, how are you?" ”

Bai Qiurui took Xiao Mingyu's hand and said with a reluctant smile: "It's okay, thank you cousin and second brother for coming to pick me up and Mingyu." ”

Roughly explained what happened, during which Bai Qiurui hid the fact that she and Xiao Mingyu were almost bullied, and finally showed that it was Shen Yuan who happened to appear to save them, and now the thief has been caught.

"There is such a thing!"

Xiao Mingrui heard that the two monks intended to plot against Bai Qiurui and Xiao Mingyu, his face turned blue instantly, and he looked up and down at the two girls in front of him who were fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his sister and cousin Qiu Rui are fine......

Bai Shaoyun learned the ins and outs of the matter, and he immediately thanked Shen Yuan: "Thank you Lord Shen for coming to the rescue, the Bai Mansion is grateful." ”

Xiao Mingrui also came back to his senses at this time, although he knew that this Lord Shen and his favorite cousin Qiu Rui had gossiped some gossip, but no matter what, he did save his cousin.

Thinking of this, he also thanked Shen Yuan: "Thank you, Lord Shen." ”

Shen Yuan usually has the same expression when facing outsiders, that is, his face is expressionless, and his handsome face is always cold and alienated.

In the face of Bai Shaoyun and Xiao Mingrui's thanks, he took it lightly, but said to Bai Qiurui.

"Rest assured, the white girl will have a satisfactory outcome in this matter."

This sentence is extremely precious, and Bai Qiurui sounds like a promise that Shen Yuan made to her.

There were outsiders present, and Bai Qiurui didn't say anything, just nodded politely and thanked her.
