"We've just settled, and we haven't had time to send someone out to investigate." Xiao Muze said with a calm face.

They had just arrived in this Xian'an county, and they only had time to charter this inn to settle down, and they hadn't had time to send someone to inquire about the news.

"Then send someone to see what's so special about this fairy lake."

After Liu Xinning finished speaking, Xiao Muze called Ling Yi to come in and arrange for someone to investigate.

"I still want to ask Mei Rui in person, did she really betray me for the sake of a man?"

Liu Xinning didn't believe Xiao Muze's interrogation.

She just doesn't understand, why is it so easy for women to fall in love? Man, why not fall in love with the brain?

She really doesn't understand this emotion.

"Okay."

Xiao Muze didn't mean to be disbelieved, but accompanied Liu Xinning to the firewood room.

At this time, Mei Rui was tied up and thrown to the ground, and when she saw Liu Xinning coming in, she trembled in fear and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

"Did you really betray me because of Kong Wu?"

Kong Wu is Mei Rui's lover.

"County Lord, the servant is not sincere. However, if the servants don't listen to the order, they will kill Kong Wu. ”

Mei Rui kowtowed again and again and said sadly.

"It's really for Kong Wu......" A hint of disappointment flashed on Liu Xinning's face.

Mei Rui didn't understand why Liu Xinning was disappointed, but she still knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"If you betray me because your family is threatened, I will still be filial to you. However, you actually betrayed for a man? You've only known that man for over a year. One is your biological mother and blood brother who gave you life, and the other is a man who has only known each other for more than a year. Heh......" Liu Xinning sneered.

That Kong Wu was originally to protect Liu Tingfeng.

After Liu Tingfeng was convicted, he was left out in the cold in the escort team.

Therefore, that person worked hard to get on Mei Rui, a second-class maid who served by the county lord's side.

Such an obvious thing, how could Mei Rui, who has always been smart, not see through it?

"My mother gave me life, but she told me to serve the lord all day long, so that in the future I could give my brother a good job. Where did she care about my thoughts? Why should I be afraid of them? ”

When she heard her mother mention, she was furious like never before.

When Liu Xinning heard Mei Rui's words, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

On that day, she was also worried that Mei Rui would become a demon to help her brother, so she went to relieve her.

Now that I think about it, Mei Rui thinks very clearly, where do I need her to explain?

"Your mother beats you every day?"

"Nope." Mei Rui was stunned by Liu Xinning's words, but still denied it.

"Your mother scolds you every day?" Merry still shook her head.

"Is that for you? Won't give you a drink? Does it matter if you are cold or cold? ”

Every time Liu Xinning said a word, Mei Rui shook her head.

"So, what did she do to make you ignore them in the slightest?"

"She always told me to do good errands and make me ......," Merry continued.

"Oh. I don't care enough for you. Liu Xinning nodded knowingly, interrupting her talk.

Mei Rui lacks love, so when Kong Wu cares and cares for her with clever words, Mei Rui falls in love.

Well, Mei Rui is quite pathetic.

However, her pity was not caused by her Liu Xinning, so it could not be a reason to betray her Liu Xinning.

It can't be a reason to harm her - she doesn't think that the black hand behind her only let her go to Fairy Lake once, but do nothing.

"You're so smart, didn't you think about what I'd do with you after the matter was revealed?" Liu Xinning asked curiously again.

She's the county lord who has the power of life and death.

Mei Rui pursed her lips and did not answer immediately.

"You want the guy behind you to keep you?" Liu Xinning looked at Mei Rui's expression and sneered.

"Why do you think that if something happens to me, the person behind it will protect you? You don't know much. Is it really for a man, and he doesn't even have a brain? I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup that man poured on you. ”

Looking at Mei Rui's expression of sacrificing and dedicating herself to love, Liu Xinning only felt speechless.

People who lack love, it seems that there will be two extremes?

One is to be coaxed away by a little love and care.

One is to carry out the cold love to the end.

It seems that Mei Rui is the first type.

Thinking of this, Liu Xinning had no interest in interrogation.

"Let's go."

"County Lord, County Lord, Kong Wu's life is also fate. Didn't you say that every life deserves respect? ”

Mei Rui saw Liu Xinning turn around and want to leave, she panicked, and said loudly the words that Liu Xinning had sighed in the past.

When Liu Xinning heard this, she immediately turned around and looked at Mei Rui with her eyes like a knife.

"So, that's why you dare to betray me? Do you think I'm going to be soft-hearted and save you even if things are revealed? Just because of what I sighed in the past? ”

Mei Rui couldn't help but shudder when she looked at such a cold county lord.

What the county lord has always shown on the outside is gentleness, kindness, kindness and kindness.

There are many cases where people are not only running charity churches, but also giving money to support people.

Not to mention, the precious words of life that the county lord sighed.

So, even if she did something wrong, couldn't she just change it?

She just passed on the route of the county lord's return to Beijing this time, and she would definitely not betray the county lord again in the future.

Thinking of this, Mei Rui talked about her thoughts again and again.

Liu Xinning couldn't help but sneer when she heard Mei Rui's words.

It seems that his previous performance is misunderstood?

Even the second-class maid who served her close to her felt this way?

She just does what she wants and does what she thinks, and she is misunderstood as being so soft-hearted?

However, Mei Rui only saw her soft-hearted side, why didn't she find that the people who wanted to harm her didn't end well?

Mei Rui was still chattering, but Liu Xinning was no longer interested in listening.

She turned to leave, and went back to her room to continue waiting for the results of the investigation.

The person who inquired about the news soon returned.

Fairy Lake is in the north of Xian'an County. The scenery is indeed beautiful, but it is rarely visited by outsiders.

Because, to get to the Fairy Lake, you have to pass through a valley.

The valley was lined with high mountains, and there was a tendency for a man to be closed. If someone sets up an ambush there, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out.

Not to mention, there is a cottage on that hill with a bunch of bandits in it.

Those bandits have been entrenched in that mountain for many years. The government also went to suppress it several times, but it was all in vain.

Therefore, people passing through Xian'an County would rather take a two-day detour than go through this valley.

Later, the bandit was also very obedient, and only robbed the passing merchants, and did not move the people of Xian'an County who passed by.

Thus, the government and the bandit reached a strange harmony. The government does not suppress bandits, and bandits do not move the people in the county.

But if it is a merchant with many carts and horses, he will be stripped of his skin when he passes through it.

Now, someone deliberately asked her to go, so it was obvious that he was going to do something to her?

Did the bandits ruin her innocence? Or let the bandits cut off her hands and feet? Still is...... Want her life?
