Chapter 66: Prison

The abbot and the little novice didn't know what was wrong with the feast bell, and when they saw that she looked weak and about to fall backwards, they were afraid that something would happen to herβ€”not that they were really afraid that she would faint, but that they were afraid that the Li clan would think that her family was in conflict with the Daxiong Treasure Temple, and that they would not offer incense and silver in the future.

After all, Ning Shuo almost fainted here last time.

I saw Ning Shuo stretch out an index finger and gently put it against her back, stabilizing her figure that was about to fall, and then stretched out her arm to let her support her through her clothes, which made her stand firm.

The abbot slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and hurriedly said, "But do you want to call a doctor?" ”

Feast Bell came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, "No need. ”

Guan Gui and Xu's mother ran over in a panic, with tears in their eyes: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Feast Bell pursed her lips and lowered her head, "I estimate that my body is not yet complete, and it is stuffy here, so my chest is tight and short of breath for a while, and I can't stand firm." ”

This hall is full of burning lanterns, which is indeed quite stuffy.

When the abbot heard this, he didn't dare to immediately fool her about the day and money that she had determined the next thing, so he only said, "Then go to the fasting house to rest." ”

Mother Xu wanted to carry the feast bell on her back, but the feast bell shook her head, turned to look at the two flickering ever-bright lamps of Mr., and was silent for a moment, and then took Guan Gui's hand and walked out slowly.

She was sure that someone in Kyoto knew that her husband had not passed away until this year, so she came to set up a lantern for him. That...... The person who sent Mr. to Lingnan and sent someone to live in the alley to take care of him is the same person who set up the lantern?

Or are they different people?

If it is the same person, then it can be speculated for the time being that he is the only one who knows that Mr. is still alive. If it's a different person...... There were two people who knew that Mr. had lived in Lingnan for four years.

Or maybe it's just two, and there are many more.

And she, who had studied under her husband for four years, did they know? Did you know that she is now in Kyoto?

Feast Bell felt like she had stepped into the fog again, one step deeper and one shallower...... She suddenly turned her head and looked into Ning Shuo's eyes at a glance.

His eyes were very soft, and he looked at her as if he was looking at a treasure, and when he saw her turn around, he asked softly, "Cousin, how is it?" ”

Feast Bell: "...... It's my cousin. ”

For a moment, she seemed to feel that her husband was looking at her, as if he had been walking from the end of the alley to the end of the alley.

She said, "Cousin, have you been following me?" ”

Ning Shuo nodded, "I'm afraid something will happen to you." ”

The feast bell warmed his heart. The cousin is indeed a good person. He has good knowledge, a good temperament, and positive thoughts, and now he cares about her so much, which is really touching. But she had a bad heart, and in order to find out the case of her husband's family, she had to use him.

He was ashamed. She said, "I'll repay my cousin." ”

Ning Shuo knew what she was talking about, but he could only say: "My cousin is polite, it's just a trivial matter, and my mother ordered me to take good care of my cousin." ”

Then he paused and asked, "How does my cousin feel now?" ”

Feast Bell nodded hesitantly, "I want to walk outside...... My aunt said that I haven't gone to the stone forest yet, is my cousin willing to take me to see it? ”

Ning Shuo sighed, knowing that this road was afraid of being "Hongmen Road", but she was so worried that she didn't let her feel at ease, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep, so she could only go with her, "Okay." ”

Mother Xu had the heart to persuade Fang Ling to go back to rest, but Ning Shuo was here, so she couldn't refute the girl's words, so she could only follow nervously.

Guan Gui glanced at her rarely, and then whispered to his wife, "How have you changed now?" ”

Mother Xu said angrily, "Kyoto is different from our Lingnan rules, you have been here for so long to patronize and eat, why don't you look at what the maids in the Guogong Mansion are like!" ”

They have very good rules, and there is a set of rules for every move, and in order to prevent the feast bell from being looked down upon, Mother Xu has learned it seriously, such as when the master speaks, it is best not to refute a word of being a slave.

She was saddened when she thought of this, "I didn't just treat my master as a girl, to put it mildly, it was half of my daughter." ”

Guan Gui smiled secretly, "The girl didn't treat you as a slave." ”

That's right! The girl still listens to her. Mother Xu pulled Guan Gui back a few steps back, "The girl is good to us, we have to take care of her, you have to learn now, and if she talks to other masters, we can't get too close." ”

Guan Gui also wanted to hear what the girl and the young master said to her, so she couldn't hear it, so she could only sigh, "Auntie, don't pull me, I won't go over, I'll be obedient." ”

So the feast bell found himself and Ning Shuo walking in front, followed by the maid and the maid, but there was also a certain distance, which was actually very good! She happened to have something whispering to her cousin.

She said tentatively, "The Muzhou Suijia case that I watched with my cousin a few days ago...... I'm interested. But there are some questions I don't understand, and I don't know if I can ask my cousin to talk to me. ”

Ning Shuo nodded, "You say." ”

He was ready to trap her in this case, and was thinking about setting her up, but she bumped into her herself, and it was better to hit her on the other day. Just today.

He pricked up his ears to listen, and began to make up a net in his heart, thinking about where to weave it tighter and where to loosen it, and was pondering it, so he heard her say: "Has my cousin seen Sui Boying's son Suilan?" ”

Ning Shuo was stunned for a moment, and glanced at her quietly, "I've seen it." ”

Feast Bell: "He...... What kind of person is he? ”

Ning Shuo: "What is my cousin asking for?" ”

Feast Ling didn't panic at all, she was calm, "Because I found out that in the Muzhou Suijia case and the Kyoto Suijia case, both families are involved, but Suilanshi should not be involved...... I wondered what kind of person he was, but no one convicted him. ”

She asked what she didn't understand, "- Sui Lan is Sui Boying's son, didn't he participate in the Jiangnan corruption case?" Suizhou bribery case, is he innocent? ”

"It's something that even I want to know, so naturally I'll be suspicious of him. However, I have been reading the case file these days, and I have heard some things from other people about the past...... I found out that he was implicated in the case file and had no evidence of a crime before he died. ”

When Ning Shuo heard this, he suddenly smiled, "What does my cousin want to ask?" ”

The feast bell shrank.

What did she want to ask...... What she wanted to ask was, of course, where the injuries on her husband's body came from.

Since he didn't do anything, since he was innocent, and he didn't take bribes, even if he was implicated, in the end it was just a head, why was his body damaged like that?

Obviously, in the portrait, his wanton behavior is not at all similar to the appearance of the later husband's sick seedling.

She took a deep breath, "It's nothing, it's just curiosity...... Being in such a home, but still being able to get out of the mud without staining, always feels precious. ”

Seeing that her cousin was unwilling to answer her words, she stopped beating around the bush and asked him directly, pretending to be curious, "Cousin, I'm very interested in the prison matter...... In prison, will people like Sui Lanshi be tortured? ”

She made a naΓ―ve appearance of ignorance of the world, "I read that people in prison usually have to be beaten before their innocence is proven...... With his identity, will he still be beaten? ”

Ning Shuo didn't know how to answer.

"I think so." ”

The feast bell hung his head, "Really...... It is said in the book that he will be beaten. Eighteen kinds of torture will be inflicted on him in the same way. If you don't have strong willpower, even if you are innocent, in order to be less punished, you will say that you have done those things. ”

Ning Shuo's heart was so sour by her words that he was so sour that he finally said according to her meaning, "As soon as you say this, I also realized that if you are tortured like that, and bite yourself to death without corruption or bribery, and finally be proven innocent, you should be a good person who is upright and dedicated to serving the people." ”

He said, "When you follow the orchid...... Admirable indeed. ”

When the feast bell heard this, tears flowed down her eyes, and she felt that at this moment, someone actually said something admiring Mr., which really made her happy for Mr.

But he was afraid of being suspicious, so he could only explain aggrievedly, "The wind just rose, and the sand and gravel entered my eyes." ”

Ning Shuo hummed lightly and handed over his handkerchief, "Yes, today's wind and sand are big, and it is easy to lose sight of sand and stones." ”
