Outside the prison of the Criminal Department, there was a person standing quietly, it was Ning Mu Yun Feixia.

Previously, when the official carried Ning Shu'an away, she was not at ease, and after following her home to the Criminal Department, she stayed at the door and never left.

Ning He stepped forward and hugged his mother in distress. Although he was also full of anxiety and irritability, he still managed to calm down and comfort his mother softly.

"Auntie, the criminal department is just looking for my father to verify the situation, nothing else, you go home first, my son is here to wait for him."

Shen Wuxian said on the side: "Yes, yes, I will accompany Xiao Ku and wait." ”

Wang Yan also followed to convince him: "Sister-in-law, let's go back first, right?" Don't worry, with me here, Shu'an and he will go home safely. ”

Mother Ning leaned on her son, and after being silent for a moment, she said softly, "Okay, I'll go back and wait." ”

After Ning He watched his mother leave, as soon as he turned around, Wang Yan had already entered the gate of the Criminal Department.

Only his identity as a temple in Dali Temple can freely enter and leave the prison of the Criminal Department.

Ning Shen and the others waited quietly outside the door.

It wasn't until two hours later that Wang Yan walked out and came straight to Ning Heku's body.

There was no look on his face.

Ning He asked him with his eyes, "How is it?" ”

Wang Yan pulled him to a secluded place around the corner and said in a low voice: "The two of them know that they will definitely die this time, so they want to pull a cushion before they die." So, the two of them confessed in unison, saying that it was because two knife catchers fell into their hands, and then they betrayed the whereabouts of the other knife catchers and the catchers of the criminal department for fear of death, so that the five evils were able to set a trap and slaughter the ten catchers in one fell swoop, killing six of the eighteen swordcatchers and seriously injuring twelve others. ”

“……”

After a short silence, Ning He asked bitterly, "Do you know who it is?" ”

Wang Yan understood what he meant, and his face showed a hint of relief, "Of course it's not your father, but Ersha doesn't remember who it is." So, your father really just came back to check the situation. In addition, the Criminal Department has already sent someone to pass on the other knife catchers who were involved in this case back then, and as soon as they come, the matter will come to light, and Shu'an will be able to go home safely at that time. ”

Ning He was bitter but worried, "It's not easy to pass on the knife catchers of the year." Among the remaining twelve, there are only two who can walk normally, and they live in the north and south of the world, and none of them have a head and a half of the moon, so they can't reach it at all. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned to Shen Wuwu, who understood his worries and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, Uncle Ning's leg injury has been over for more than ten years, and I don't care about waiting a few more days." When he comes out, I can get him to his feet. ”

After listening to Shen's meaningless words, Ning Heku's face was not relaxed but became more depressed.

Shen didn't listen to anything else, the only thing that caught his ears and heart was those words: "Wait for him to come out." ”

In his heart, that's the most important thing. My father is still in the prison of the Criminal Department at the moment, and everything he says is an empty talk.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that this matter could not be as light as Wang Yan said.

After all, dozens of lives are at stake, and there are also officials of the Dajing Criminal Department who are serious, and it is extraordinary to pursue this matter.

I'm afraid that in the end, a large group of people will have to be involved.

Then, the so-called summons is the only one left, and the other twelve knife catchers who were seriously injured, are thought-provoking and intriguing.

It was about the only twelve remaining sword catchers of the year, and I would rather not take it lightly.

For more than ten years, every year he would send a certain amount of silver taels to these twelve uncles who were far away according to his father's instructions.

For 12 years, there has been no interruption.

Moreover, the father often mentioned with a long sigh: Whoever has lost his hand, who is deaf, who will never have children again in this life......

Later, Ning Heku also went to meet several of these uncles along the way, and learned from the words of these people that they all respected their father, and they all respected him, but they were the only ones who looked forward to him.

And what about the father? In his mind, these people will always be his brothers and sisters, and they are also the people he will always do his best to take care of.

Therefore, it is better to say that he is poor, he is really poor.

Therefore, how could my father let his brothers who had suffered so much be implicated in the slightest......

The more he thought about it, the more depressed his face became, and he grabbed Wang Yan at first glance and said urgently: "Uncle Wang, you can see my father, right?" ”

Seeing Wang Yan nodding, he said more urgently: "Please go and guard my father, you must guard him and never leave an inch." ”

Seeing that Wang Yan hesitated slightly, he hurriedly added: "Uncle, you know my father's character, he has always taken good care of his brothers, I am afraid that he will ......"

Before the words "do stupid things" were spoken, Wang Yan had already rushed in. Ning Heku shouted behind him: "If you have something, remember to find someone to send me a message." ”

Wang Yan had already disappeared into the door, and he didn't know if he had heard Ning Heku's last instructions.

Shen Wuxian was a little confused when he listened, and seeing Ning Heku's worried appearance, he rubbed his big hands and asked, "Xiao Ku, can I help?" ”

Ning He glanced at him gratefully, tears were faint in his eyes, and he said in a sand voice: "Old Wu, I did something wrong." ”

"......" Shen Wuxuan was confused, and he didn't know what he meant, but he still comforted him intimately: "Don't think nonsense, this matter is none of your business, let alone your father's business." ”

Ning He closed his eyes in pain, noncommittal, and then opened his eyes and stared directly at the door of the criminal department.

He stood still like a stone statue for two hours, and Shen Wuxian was afraid that he would not be able to stand it if he stayed up any longer, so he dragged him aside, pressed him hard and sat on the stone steps, and sat side by side with him, and said thoughtfully: "Don't panic, I will accompany you and wait." ”

The two of them waited from dusk to midnight, and then from midnight to dawn in the east and the light of the faint light.

Wang Yan never came out, nor did he send someone out to report the news.

Ning Heku kept not saying a word, his eyes gradually turned red, and when he finally couldn't wait, he got up and wanted to go straight to the criminal department.

Fortunately, Shen Wuwu had a lot of strength, so he dragged him to death.

Shen Wuxian dragged him desperately while roaring: "You are crazy, your father was fine, but you will be in trouble this time." And it's both of you who have something. ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a hunched and weak figure slowly appear at the entrance of the criminal department. After seeing that it was Wang Yan, Ning Heku shot it like an arrow.

He grabbed Wang Yan's hands tightly and asked hoarsely, "Uncle, how is it?" ”

Wang Yan looked like he was lost and depressed, and he couldn't say a word even if he shook himself hard.

Ning He was so nervous that his body trembled, accompanied by a huge sense of unease, and he was about to continue shaking, when he suddenly felt something strange in his hand, and when he raised it, his entire palm was bloody.

He trembled and lowered his head, only to see that Wang Yan's hands and cuffs were covered with blood. Even the placket was splashed with specks of blood.

The shocking blood-red color shook Ning He Bitter and dizzy, and suddenly felt like he had been pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, accompanied by heart-rending pain.

His feet were weak, and he struggled to support his body, and roared out of the ground with the last trace of strength, but his voice was like a mosquito: "What about my father?" ”

As soon as Wang Yanfu heard these three words, he immediately dropped a few teardrops the size of beans, rolled his Adam's apple up and down, grabbed Ning Heku's hand with his backhand, and choked up with regret: "It's all my fault, it's me who didn't read the book well......

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Where's my dad? I'm going to have to see him for myself. After letting out a low-level nickname from his throat, Ning He silently pushed Wang Yan away and staggered forward.

This time, the jailer at the entrance of the criminal department did not stop him, but looked at him sympathetically.

Wang Yan followed him and turned back in. Seeing this, Shen Wuxian immediately followed.

The dazed Ning He only knew all the way forward, forward and forward, he didn't know how long he had walked, and he didn't know how he got there.

It wasn't until he saw his father lying in a pool of blood that he regained some consciousness, and immediately rushed forward and helped his father up.

Ning Shu'an's chest was stuck with a dagger.

The handle of this dagger is engraved with a wishful cloud pattern, which is something that Ning Shu'an will never leave.

Ning He hugged his father tightly, caressed his wounds, looked at the blood red behind him, and his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe, let alone speak.

Shen Wuwu, who came later, put his hand on Ning Shu'an's wrist, inspected his pupils, and finally looked at Ning Heku in despair.

Then, he looked at Wang Yan on the side and roared in a low voice, "Who did it?" ”

Wang Yan's voice was still trembling, but it was extremely clear, "No one is Shu'an himself." ”

Ning Heku still hugged his father tightly and did not say a word.

A person who grieves to the extreme, is insensitive, and even more unforgiving.

Shen Wuxian looked at him with heartache and continued to yell, "Why? ”

Wang Yan took a step forward, squatted down beside Ning Heku, and said bitterly: "When I just came in, Shu'an had already recognized everything, and said that he was the one who leaked the whereabouts of the arrester of the Criminal Department that day, and the other knife catchers did not know about it, and they had already signed and detained. Then ......"

Wang Yan choked up and couldn't go on, and paused for a while before he said, "Then, then I will talk to him in an attempt to persuade him to retract his confession, and I can help find other witnesses." Then, he agreed, and I was about to come out to you. Who knows......"

This passage is not long at all, but Wang Yan interrupted it three times in the middle, which shows how unwilling he was to face the cruel reality at that time.

But in the end, we had to face it.

He gritted his teeth and continued: "As soon as I took a few steps, I felt something strange behind me, and when I looked back, Shu'an had already pulled out the small dagger hidden close to him, and I didn't have time to stop it, as soon as he raised his hand, he inserted the dagger into his chest............ I rushed back in frenzy...... With the last of his strength, he told me, 'This will only end when he is dead.'" And I, I can only watch him and him...... But there is nothing they can do......"

By the end of Wang Yan's speech, he couldn't stop crying, and he kept beating the ground with his hands in depression and frustration, and shouted and complained with grief and indignation: "This criminal department also used the excuse that he was a disabled person, so it didn't accept him...... Excuses, all excuses......"

Ning Heku stood up and smiled at Shen Wuwu with a feeble smile, "Lao Wu, you help me, I'm going home with my father, A-Niang is still waiting for us at home......"
