Walking out of the county hall, Bai Yujing did not go to Fengming Tower first, because he didn't know what it was doing there, let alone where it was, so he simply waited until Chu Xiuran finished work before going together.

Bai Yujing planned to go to eat first, and then go to the house where her daughter died in the house.

With a spirit like the rising sun, Bai Yujing, who was walking all the way, didn't notice that there was a carriage outside the county gate.

A very inconspicuous carriage.

There were two people sitting in the carriage, it was Pei Jinnian, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple of the Shaoyang Dynasty, and the one sitting next to him was Yin Hong.

Yin Hong said in a low voice, "My lord, he's gone." ”

Pei Jinnian leaned back in his chair with a solemn expression, holding a glass of sake in his hand, his black hair was neatly lying behind him, there was no expression on his white, almost perfect facial features, and his dark gray pupils were stern and ruthless.

He took a sip of sake to ward off the morning chill, then swung his long cuffs and stepped out of the carriage.

His purpose seemed to be clear, and he strode into the county hall, this time he didn't go through the front door, but through the back door.

Pei Jinnian stood in front of the dungeon, behind him was already full of people from Dali Temple, the only cell holding the prisoner was opened, and the woman inside was still licking the butter paper that had wrapped the roast chicken, and she didn't care who was coming, it seemed that these people had nothing to do with her.

Tsundere.

Dali Temple is not looking for her, who else can it be?

Pei Jinnian glanced at the filthy cell with a sneer, and didn't say anything, but Yin Hong already understood what Lord Shaoqing meant.

Pei Jinnian, who grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, came from the family of the four great scholars and doctors in Shaoyang, and he must not be able to bear this kind of place.

Yin Hong found a chair and set up a screen around it to block the wind that might blow over, she knew that if there was a wind that blew the dirty fallen leaves and dust on Lord Shaoqing today, her head would drift with the wind to nowhere.

Fortunately, the cold wind has stopped, and the warm sun is shining.

She was glad that she would have one more day to live.

After Yin Hong finished all this, she went to get another bottle of small Buddha brew, put the wine glass on the table, poured the wine, and then stepped aside.

Pei Jinnian's calm face still didn't have any reaction, and in the seemingly casual expression, there were those keen eyes, those eyes were watching everything here, and no one could escape its gaze.

He was very satisfied with everything Yin Hong had done, but he still felt that he was not perfect in his heart, and he didn't know what was not perfect, but he always felt that something was missing, but he didn't say it explicitly, but looked at the woman in the prison and asked, "You look hungry." ”

The woman didn't speak, still licking the butter paper.

Pei Jinnian stretched out the middle finger and index finger of his left hand and gently swung it forward three times, and then two Dali Temple guards walked out from behind, holding two rice buckets, one bucket containing rice and one bucket containing vegetables, and placed them in front of the woman.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at the food in the bucket and grabbed it with her hands and ate it.

The mist on the food was enough to prove that the bucket of food was hot, but the woman did not hesitate in the slightest, which was enough to prove that she was hungry.

Pei Jinnian was very patient, drinking wine one by one, thinking about a lot of things in his mind, he was very tired.

This fatigue is not that he has not rested well, on the contrary, he rests well, and sleeps for three hours every day.

As an official in the Shaoyang Dynasty, there are only a few who can sleep for three hours.

But he's still tired, and that tiredness is because of a lot of thinking, and he's thinking, scrutinizing, and planning all the time.

It's a habit he's cultivated since he was a child.

Thinking is the foundation of his life, and it is also the foundation of gaining a firm foothold in this huge court.

The meal was finished.

The woman collapsed on the ground with satisfaction, at this time she didn't care about her own shame, her legs were spread at will, her shoulder straps fell on her chest and she didn't help them, and she didn't wipe the vegetable stains on her face all over her mouth, just looking at Pei Jinnian and smiling, her smile was very free and pathetic.

Pei Jinnian sighed, "I rarely wait for people to eat, you are indeed a very special person." ”

The woman said, "Really? And I want to thank you. There were a lot of people waiting for me to eat, but they just wanted me to finish it quickly and then come and take off my clothes. ”

Pei Jinnian said: "It seems that there are a lot of people who have taken off your clothes." ”

The woman smiled: "You are wrong, the people who want to take off my clothes are all dead, my father, my brother, my second uncle, my third uncle, oh, I miscalculated, Bu Zhuohua is not dead." ”

Wildcats are not only arrogant, but also cute.

Pei Jinnian bowed slightly, "Oh? So you want to kill that water thief just because he wants to take off your clothes? ”

Woman's way; "Yes, anyone who wants to take off my clothes will have to die."

Pei Jinnian said: "This is indeed a good excuse for a woman, isn't it?" ”

The woman's face sank, as if the bright moon had just risen in a violent storm, and the fingers hidden behind her lightly buckled, clutching some sand.

She wanted to use this handful of sand to escape from the dungeon surrounded by Dali Temple.

Pei Jinnian leaned back in his chair, "What did you say to him?" ”

The woman didn't speak, but her body was already shaking.

Pei Jinnian said: "I have countless ways to make you speak, do you believe it?" ”

She doesn't have the capital to believe in it, but she is very stubborn, she is a person who does not admit defeat, but now she has to admit defeat.

Human beings are inherently complex, and the world is even more complicated, and these people are simply like a blank sheet of paper in this world.

She lowered her head and said appointingly, "Let's get to the point, what do you want to know?" ”

Pei Jinnian said: "What did you say to him?" ”

The woman said, "Fengming Tower." ”

Pei Jinnian's face did not change any expression, but no matter who was delusional about that face at this moment, he would feel the silent pressure, that majestic and indescribable suppressive force, it was the voice of power.

"Kill her."

Pei Jinnian stood up and walked out.

The blade came out of its sheath with a heavy roar.

"Wait!"

The woman screamed.

Pei Jinnian didn't seem to want to waste any more time on her, and didn't look back.

Then the woman said, "If you kill me, you will never find that woman!" ”

Pei Jinnian's footsteps stopped, and his hand stretched out.

The crimson knife also stopped in mid-air.

Shaoqing of Dali Temple returned to his chair, looked at the woman calmly and said, "Where is she?" ”

The woman swallowed her saliva, raised her head and said, "I want to live." ”

Pei Jinnian sighed, looked at the clear blue sky and said: "That woman knows a lot of secrets that she shouldn't know, so she is going to die, if you don't tell the secrets you know, you can imagine what I will do to you." ”

The woman stood up, staggered against the prison wall, and said again, "I want to live." ”

Pei Jinnian said: "Aren't you afraid? ”

The woman said, "Even if you torture me, I can live, it's your time that is wasted." The secrets she has are enough to make many of you lose your status, otherwise it would be impossible to alarm you to drive to Yuhang County. As long as I live, as long as you let me live, whatever you want to know, I can tell you! Especially, the secret ingredient ......"

"Okay."

Pei Jinnian stood up with his hands behind his back, the word secret recipe was the reason why he came here, this secret recipe was enough to upset the huge interests of the entire court in Shaoyang, "What's your name?" ”

The woman lowered her head and said, "Xia Wanning." ”
