returned to the dungeon again, but this time Bai Yujing was no longer the protégé of the county lieutenant, but a prisoner of the county order.

He was thrown straight into the huge prison.

Yin Hong just glanced at him and left in a hurry.

Darkness is restored here.

Bai Yujing didn't have any fear, the panic, dissatisfaction, and childishness on Fang Cai's face all disappeared after everyone left, and was replaced by worry.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Bai Yujing began to think about everything that happened tonight, if it went well, now Xia Wanning should have taken Chu Xiuran to Zhao Xun Sun Lanxiang, once he found Sun Lanxiang, he would definitely be able to find other clues.

The case didn't seem to be as tough as he thought.

Step by step, it is developing in a good direction.

Thinking of Bai Yujing here, he transferred the Jiuyao Star Palace, transferred the White Tiger One Star Acupoint to the first place, and began to practice.

Chu Xiuran, I'll leave the rest to you.

……

Chu Xiuran's heart was a mess.

Xia Wanning's pace was not slow, he desperately hoped that she would walk faster, but in his heart he hoped that she would not leave now, or stop in place, and even hoped that the two of them would be killed by the sudden appearance of the hidden weapon.

He was afraid, afraid of the truth, afraid that those unmarried girls were really killed as Xia Wanning said.

"If they were really killed...... Chu Xiuran, what are you doing? Shi Qiang was killed! What are you doing! You're drinking, you're running away, and you're not even going to check the bodies! You don't find a single clue, you ...... Think it's caused by the sky scars? ”

Chu Xiuran's belief seemed to have collapsed.

No one can tell him what would have happened if he insisted on investigating Shi Qiang's body that day, would there be a clue, would he believe it?

Things in the past will always make people regret it.

There are many people who will fall into regret and never recover.

Chu Xiuran didn't know if he would collapse, but at this time, he didn't seem to have the strength to continue walking.

The truth is too heavy.

Is she telling the truth?

Chu Xiuran had mixed feelings, until in the end, he stood in place.

Xia Wanning looked at him, "My lord...... What's wrong? ”

Chu Xiuran was at a loss, lowered his head and said, "I...... Are we almost there? ”

Xia Wanning looked at him, and the trust in her heart suddenly began to waver, but she didn't say it, but said, "It's almost over." ”

Chu Xiuran nodded solemnly and continued to walk forward.

They didn't go to Hangzhou Tang, nor did they go to Fengming Tower, but went to a courtyard.

An ordinary courtyard, this looks like the courtyard of an ordinary people's house, but there is no one living in this courtyard at this time.

Xia Wanning's pace suddenly became faster, Chu Xiuran immediately followed, and the two walked into a side room.

There were only simple furnishings in the room, a table, a bed, two chairs, and a few cheap landscape paintings hanging on the wall.

Xia Wanning stood in front of the landscape painting and said to Chu Xiuran on the side: "Lord Chu." ”

Chu Xiuran looked over, "What?" ”

Xia Wan swallowed her saliva and said slowly: "Lord Chu, in fact, I lied to you, Sun Lanxiang...... It's dead. ”

Chu Xiuran said: "What! You lied to me? Why are you lying to me? ”

Xia Wanning turned to look at him, "I thought you could help me, but now...... I don't think you can help me at all. ”

Chu Xiuran said, "How could I not help you? Miss Xia, in this Yuhang County, I am the county lieutenant! How could it not help you. ”

Xia Wanning suddenly smiled, in this dim room where she couldn't see anything clearly, she smiled very gently, and she said calmly: "Lord Chu, let me ask you a question, you can answer me well, is it okay?" ”

Chu Xiuran said: "Okay, no matter what the question, I will answer you well." ”

Xia Wanning said: "Who is the woman you love?" ”

Chu Xiuran was stunned.

He never expected that he would hear such a question at this time, and for a moment his brain seemed to be short-circuited, and he didn't have the slightest reaction, so he just looked at Xia Wanning blankly.

Xia Wanning didn't wait, and didn't even ask other questions, it seemed that this sluggish expression was enough to explain everything, and she said slowly: "Lord Chu, let's go, the officialdom in Shaoyang is not suitable for you, you are too clean and too timid." ”

With that, she tilted her head and smiled.

At that moment, Chu Xiuran seemed to think of the answer to the question, but he never said a word.

A crater appeared in the ground, and Xia Wanning disappeared into the room along the secret passage of the mechanism.

Chu Xiuran immediately wanted to hold it, but the heavy iron plate was immediately closed.

"Hey! You come out! ”

Chu Xiuran slapped the floor violently and screamed, "Where are you going!" Tell me! Feed! What about people! ”

But no matter how much he struck, it still didn't help.

With mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't even know what to do now!

"Bai Yujing is in prison, and now Xia Wanning has run away again! I...... What am I going to do...... I...... The trail is broken......"

Chu Xiuran immediately stood up and wanted to find the mechanism in this room, but even if he threw the painting on the ground and fiddled with the table, chair, or even the door frame and window, he couldn't find the mechanism that opened the secret passage below.

"It's over...... It's all over...... by me...... Yujing! What about Yujing? Yujing ...... No, I have to save him......"

Chu Xiuran hurriedly stood up and ran outside the house, but he bumped into something, stumbled and fell to the ground.

He opened his eyes and shouted, "Dao Chief! ”

Lao Dao smiled, "You are in such a hurry, is your daughter-in-law running away with someone else?" Do you still want to find someone else's daughter-in-law? ”

Chu Xiuran's tears had already welled up, and he said in a trembling voice: "Dao Chief! Michigan! Please, I can't help it, my friend is in danger to investigate the case, but I have lost the most important clue, and ...... And it is very likely that Miss Shi was killed! They were all killed! ”

Lao Dao was surprised: "Oh? Who was killed? ”

Chu Xiuran said: "She said...... Xia Wanning said...... It's the Great Compassion Building, it's the Lingyin Temple! It's a monk of Lingyin Temple! ”

Lao Dao sighed, shook his head and said: "You, Lingyin Temple is a big temple in Yuhang County, and it is a famous family in the rivers and lakes, how can you do these murderous things?" I think you've been deceived by someone else. ”

Chu Xiuran shook his head very quickly and said, "No, no, no, when she said these words, it didn't look like she was lying, it must be true!" She knows Miss Shi, and she didn't lie to me! ”

Lao Dao smiled and said, "Just by her words, you dare to go to Lingyin Temple?" It seems that you, the county lieutenant, have also come to an end. ”

Chu Xiuran said resolutely: "If you are suspicious, you should investigate!" Why can't you go? ”

Lao Dao asked again: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Chu Xiuran lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but ...... There is Miss Shi in the front, and Bai Yujing in the back, they all suffer because of me, if I am afraid to go down...... I...... Even if I'm afraid, I have to go! ”

Lao Dao said with a smile: "Lingyin Temple is rich in three thousand big Buddha incense, small Buddha brew, if you want to investigate, it is likely to face the rich businessmen and officials in the entire Yuhang County and even Shaoyang." They may well all be your enemies. ”

Chu Xiuran said: "Then I will go too." ”

The old Tao said: "You may die." ”

Chu Xiuran said: "There are already a lot of people who have died, if I die as a county lieutenant, the above will naturally not ignore it, if I can exchange my life for someone to avenge him, my life is worth a lot!" ”

Lao Dao said: "Okay, then you can go to the Great Compassion Building." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and handed it to Chu Xiuran, "Although Lao Dao has some skills, but Lingyin Temple is not something I can break through, you have an official life, you can delay and maneuver, Lao Dao can only die if you go in, this talisman can give you some help, and when you ask for your life, it can help you escape once, which is also the last thing Lao Dao can help you." ”
