Chapter 296: A Handful of Ashes

Ning Wuxian's smile narrowed slightly.

He stared seriously at Shen Youchu's little face, whose eyes flickered, and asked seriously, "Just check?" ”

It's tracking, right?

"That's right, I'll check if his kung fu is good, if it's not good, let Juxiang beat him, and let me get out of this bad breath."

Shen Youchu crossed his waist with his other hand and said angrily.

She didn't say that she was angry with Ning Wuxian, she only said that she was angry with herself.

did not impose his emotions on others, nor did he use the guise of being angry for others, so that people were grateful.

Ning Wuxian looked at such a lovely Miss Shen, and his heart felt as if he had been hit hard by something.

As a human being in two lives, he is not a young man who pretends to be innocent, and for people who are emotionally dull, he also understands that he is a heart-warming reaction.

"Miss Shen......"

"Don't worry, Ning Gongzi, I just asked Ju Xiang to investigate, but Ju Xiang said that although he was injured, he still couldn't beat him, and with so many people following the Yamen of Lai'an County, she couldn't do it."

People who come to the Yamen of Anxian County?

Ning Wuxian suppressed the sensibility in his heart and made himself sensible.

An adult's heart is in a moment, but it is a lifetime to be responsible.

Especially in this feudal era, the emphasis is on the right family, and the recognition of the two families is not a matter of considering personal feelings.

"So, what did that guard do that make Miss Shen feel unbelievable?"

Ning Wuxian dragged Shen Youchu a step forward.

Shen Youchu grabbed the hem of his clothes and didn't let go, and he didn't remind him.

Yun Fei and Mei Xiang were just about to keep up, but Ning Wuxian flashed out from between the two, stretched out his arms, stopped the two of them, and shook his head at them.

Mei Xiang looked at her own young lady who was dragged by Ning Gongzi in front of her, and suddenly reacted, this is the alone time that the young lady dreamed of, picked up Yun Fei, who still wanted to cross Ning Wujian to be a stumbling block, and took two steps back.

"Sister Mei Xiang, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing, what do you want to do? Didn't you see that my young lady had something important to chat with Ning Gongzi privately? ”

Mei Xiang glared fiercely at Xiao Yunfei, who was too young and hadn't opened up at all.

Xiao Yunfei tilted his head, blinked in confusion, and rushed forward.

After being grabbed by Mei Xiang, the collar was brought back again.

"Don't worry, the guard who wanted to hurt Ning Gongzi has already left the realm of Jinling, besides, we are three master guards, which one dares to disturb Ning Gongzi and my young lady, Ju Xiang is still guarding in the dark."

Juxiang is also there?

Ning Wujian looked left and right, but he couldn't see the figure.

Thinking about it, although the fifth brother and Miss Shen usually do things out of the ordinary, they will not go out of line, so it should be fine for the maid of the Shen family to see the two alone.

After all, Miss Shen said just now that the news of Lai'an County was heard by Ju Xiang, and the content of the conversation between the two did not need to be kept secret from Ju Xiang.

At this time, Ju Xiang, who was squatting in the grass, endured mosquito bites while watching her young lady's twisting appearance, regretting why she didn't go to the ice drink shop to check the accounts, and chose to join in the fun to watch Artemisia annua keep up.

Probably because her father and mother both died of dysentery, and her two younger brothers were also sick because of it, she wanted to see with her own eyes where Artemisia annua grew and what it looked like.

I didn't expect to see the scene of Ning Gongzi climbing the mountain and chatting with his own young lady and Lang Qing concubine first.

I should have gone!

When Ju Xiang was annoyed, she listened to her young lady blushing and talking about business.

"The guards of the Jin Palace's self-proclaimed A guards, and he asked the An County Commander of Lai'an County to take the officials to the mass grave, Ning Gongzi, what do you guess he is going to do?"

Let's find the body.

Ning Wuxian replied in his heart, but on the surface, he could only pretend not to know and shook his head.

"This armor guard can't see the rules of what he does, and I can't guess for sure, but shouldn't he go to Zhou An? What are you going to do in the mass grave, is Zhou An staying in the mass grave? ”

"Maybe."

Shen Youchu suddenly let go of his hand, stopped, and raised his face to Ning Wuxian.

"Ning Gongzi, did you meet Zhou An that night?"

It's a soul torture.

In line with the idea of not wanting Shen Youchu to get involved, Ning Wuxiao should shake his head and deny it.

In addition, he knew that Shen Youchu must be within ten steps of his side, and there must be guards to follow, Mei Xiang is in the light, so Ju Xiang is in the dark, and what he says will definitely be witnessed.

But he really doesn't need to be deceived, Shen Youchu who may guess the truth.

"That night, except for our own people, the killers all covered their faces, I didn't see who was who, but the person who shot me an arrow, I looked like Zhou An, and then I thought about it, if it wasn't for Zhou An, I wanted to save him, and he wouldn't have set himself on fire with the idea of pulling me into the water."

mentioned the fact that he wanted to pull someone as a cushion when he was dying.

Shen Youchu pouted angrily again.

"This seems to be Zhou An's method, he didn't send a letter to his family, saying that if he died, you must have killed him, this harmful spirit, it really doesn't make people stop when he dies."

Hearing this, Ning Wuxian still didn't understand anything.

It must have been the unbelievable thing done by that armor guard that made Shen Youchu suspect the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"So, what did the armor guard do? He took the servants to rummage through the entire mass grave? ”

"He's not stupid, if Zhou An is really dead, or because of a case involving robbers, then tobacco is a treasure related to Daxing taxes, he is just a guard, can he make his own decision, for the sake of the dead Zhou An to gamble on the old emperor's mind?"

That can't.

Ning Wuxian shook his head slightly.

Shen Youchu flattened his mouth, raised the tip of his mouth, and whispered in his ear: "He asked the people of the county government to burn all the corpses of the mass grave, and then, he also brought a handful of ashes back to the capital, saying that he brought them back to explain the matter to the King of Jin, and Ju Xiang said that the handful of ashes he brought was the ashes of the person who was burned again by the villagers and then broke the ashes. ”

The guards who were arranged to take Zhou An back to Beijing ended up taking only a handful of ashes with them.

Even Shen Youchu, who had never experienced what happened that night, guessed the secret with this practice.

If nothing else, the Anxian Commander of Lai'an County and Su Rui, if they learn about this incident, they will be able to confirm the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

But.

It doesn't make any sense to know.

Jia Chu's approach seems to have pierced the layer of window paper, which is a little impulsive, but the practice of burning the charred corpse again in front of the front and leaving no traces of clues is the most clever.

This is to tell all the people involved in this case in Jiangnan Province that the Jin Wangfu knows the truth, but will not pursue the matter against them.

Equally.

If they have evidence in their hands, they can no longer attack the Jin Palace.

"It seems that this guard has a lot of background, and he can really make decisions for King Jin."

Knowing this, when the other party made a move on him in Hanshan Temple, he shouldn't have calmed things down, and directly designed to leave the other party's life.

Otherwise.

released a person who was hostile and prejudiced against him, and returned to Beijing to report Zhou An's death to the king of Jin.

It is likely that the king of Jin will rely on him for all the sins of Zhou An's death.

"Ning Gongzi, don't worry, even if that person is really Zhou An, he is looking for death by himself, the people of the Jin Palace's Mansion dare to trouble you, I will protect you!"

Shen Youchu crossed his hands on his hips and spoke loudly.

Ning Wuxiao's originally somewhat depressed mood suddenly became cheerful.

He asked, half-jokingly, half-seriously, "How do you protect me?" Is it still the same as before, where I go, you follow? Even if it's in Jinling, if I go to Jing'an City, do you want to go with me? ”
