After the three of them left, Chu Xiuran grabbed Bai Yujing, pulled him to the corner of the room, and asked in a low voice, "What are you running out for?" If any of those three people look at you upset, you'll die! ”

Bai Yujing smiled nonchalantly, "I think it's better to solve the matter first, with the time you have to beg him here to investigate the case, maybe there will be further discoveries." Why spend a morning begging him for something that can end in a sentence? ”

Of course, Chu Xiuran didn't want to ask for help, but what could he do? Squinted his eyes and said, "That's an official from the fourth grade, with his back to His Royal Highness the Prince, aren't you afraid that he will find you a backlog?" ”

At this time, Bai Yujing suddenly remembered what Tong Xiaoyun said.

This is a case that only you can handle.

Maybe it's because I don't know the structure of the current court, and I won't worry and fear their monstrous power?

Then again, why do these people have their eyes fixed on this case?

Bai Yujing threw out this question.

Chu Xiuran frowned, "Huh? What do you mean that they shouldn't be staring at the case? ”

Bai Yujing said: "In order to solve the case, the people who can drag out the people along the entire Hangzhou pond and beat them to death, do they care about these people who are already dead?" Is there a person in a high position among the dead? Or is there any specific impact of their deaths? Or will they have any chance of entering the circle of these high-ranking officials? ”

Chu Xiuran shook his head and said categorically: "All of them are ordinary people. ”

Bai Yujing said: "You can't make a judgment so easily. ”

Chu Xiuran said: "It's only two days!" ”

Bai Yujing said: "Let me ask you, what is the reason for the official family, the crown prince, and the princess to pay attention to a case at the same time?" And hope that he will break quickly? Even branch up the embroidered clothes envoy and let you do it? ”

Chu Xiuran was stunned, this was the second time Bai Yujing had talked about this matter, and he didn't think about it the first time, but when Bai Yujing once again emphasized the official family, the prince and the princess, and said that the embroidered envoy was taken away by the princess, looking at the whole situation, as he said, the problem appeared.

"yes, why do I have to do it? Why do you have to take the embroidered clothes to make it? What are the benefits of my office? Chu Xiuran stared at Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing has a lot of guesses, but it is impossible to say them all now, and the final result of the two guessing is to continue to investigate the case, so it is better to go directly to the next step, "Have you found out the identities of the three boys?" ”

Chu Xiuran said: "The county order doesn't help me, I can't find the case file, and there are too many people who have lost their children in the past year, I can't just put the body on the street and find someone to identify ......it."

A smile appeared on the faces of the two people at the same time, and Chu Xiuran said, "Wouldn't it be better if I just found someone to claim it?" ”

Bai Yujing laughed, "In this way, you go to find the identities of the three children, and I will go to the families of those women to see if I can find a little common ground."

The two hit it off, and when Bai Yujing was about to go out, he was stopped by Chu Xiuran, "You'd better go to the dungeon first and take a look, and by the way, help me send me some food and drink." ”

Bai Yujing's mouth was half open, "Yo, you came to give me a dungeon alone?" Who's locked up inside? ”

Chu Xiuran explained what happened last night, and told Bai Yujing clearly, "I just see that girl is pitiful, not like a killer sent by someone else, but it is also true that she wants to kill someone, please go to the two families to interrogate it, and then go to those two families to ask the reason." ”

Bai Yujing understood.

Dungeon dungeon, as the name suggests, the cell above the ground is the dungeon.

There is no one to clean the dungeon all the year round, and there is no guest reception all year round, and it has long been in a semi-deserted state, and now that a person suddenly lives in, it makes Chu Xiuran a little uncomfortable, worried that she will freeze to death, and also divides her quilt into a bed.

Bai Yujing came in with two jars of water and a roast chicken, opened the door of the cell, and walked in by himself.

The woman was lying on the ground, and when she heard Bai Yujing's footsteps, she immediately sat up, and the long gauze clothes could not cover her body to keep out the cold, so she could only barely wrap herself in a quilt and lie in this dungeon with air leaking on all sides, curled up in the corner.

There were many bruises on her face, many scars on her arms and legs, her shoes were gone, there were many weeds standing in her hair, tears and blood were gathering on her face, and she knew that she had been greatly humiliated.

Bai Yujing put food and drink on the ground and sat not far away in front of her.

She didn't seem to be afraid of Bai Yujing, and looked up at him.

Bai Yujing pointed to the food box and said, "Eat and drink." ”

The woman didn't say anything, got up and grabbed the water jar, stuck her head straight in, and drank it in a big gulp.

Bai Yujing suddenly felt that she was a scarred wild cat, after failing to hunt for food, she was almost killed, but she found the hope of survival in a desperate situation, every sip of water she drank and every bite of food she ate had to be used to survive, and it was also used for revenge.

She just ate like this, and he just watched like this, until there was no water in the water jar and no meat in the food box, she took a deep breath, wiped her mouth, and stared at Bai Yujing with extremely vigilant eyes.

She is indeed a cat who eats your food but does not come near you.

Bai Yujing asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

She didn't respond, sucking her fingers.

I have to say that such a woman is indeed rare, and from her eyes, Bai Yujing can feel that the world is not fair to her.

"Why do you want to kill Bu Zhuohua?"

The three words Bu Zhuohua seemed to touch the softest thread in her heart, and just hearing the name, she was already in tears, as if someone had uncovered her freshly scabbed scar and sprinkled a handful of chili powder on it.

"You...... Are you here to kill me? It didn't make her voice weak because of tears, on the contrary, she clenched her fists very hard, her voice trembled because of anger, or fear, she almost tried her best to say: "It is said that the last meal before dying is good food, if it is a dying meal, then I have not eaten enough." ”

Bai Yujing smiled, "Even if it's not a dying meal, I should let you eat enough." ”

He stood up and tried to buy her something to eat, but she stopped him, "You...... Don't leave. ”

Bai Yujing looked back at her, "Huh? Is there anything you want to tell me? ”

She asked, "You're not from Water Dragon Village?" ”

Bai Yujing shook his head, "I'm not. ”

She said again: "Then you are the county lieutenant's person?" ”

Bai Yujing shook his head again and said, "It's not." ”

She seemed to feel something strange in her eyes, and lowered her head and stopped talking.

Bai Yujing squatted in front of her, and suddenly asked: "I'm not from Yuhang County, nor from the capital, I came to Yuhang County to do my own thing, I'm not from Shuilong Village, let alone an official here, so it's your luck that I can come and bring you something to eat." ”

She didn't move, just sat on the ground with her knees folded, and didn't say a word.

Bai Yujing asked, "Do you know about the little Buddha brew?" ”

Her arms trembled slightly, and her eyes began to dodge.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

Bai Yujing took a deep breath, didn't ask her anything anymore, turned around and walked out.

"You!"

She suddenly stopped Bai Yujing, lowered her head and thought for a moment, "You...... You can go to Fengming Tower for a walk. ”

After she said this, there was no sound.
