Before sinking to the bottom, Xie Wuyi's thoughts were still clear.

She can't stop here.

There are clues hidden in Fan Lanshu's words, there are many people in that secret prison, if it is not the dead man raised by the Chu family, it is the person who the Chu family intends to exterminate. Although Zeyang is big, it is impossible to lock up so many people without any clues.

So unlike the assassination of Ping Linyuan, Hua Feidu is still running for her life outside, and she must not die in the pond.

What's more, her shoulder is constantly oozing blood, and if Fan Lanshu leads people back at this time, she will have no way out.

Xie Wuyi desperately fetched water upwards, and swam to the opposite shore with the last of his perseverance.

However, even if she is proficient in poisoning and detoxification, it is difficult to carry anesthesia and drown. Xie Wuyi swam and swam, only to feel that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and the water in front of him was getting darker and darker, and he couldn't hold his breath anymore.

Suddenly, she seemed to hear a muffled "bang", and then a hand wrapped around her waist and lifted her out of the water.

The sudden burst of fresh air didn't make Xie Wuyi feel much better, she took two drowsy breaths, and was carried into a carriage.

Xie Wuyi was soaking wet, and the person who rescued her silently took a blanket from the side to wrap her, and put a pungent incense pill under her nose.

The smell was so choked that it went straight to Tianling Gai'er, Xie Wuyi couldn't help but cough violently on his chest, and this cough forced out all the choked water. She supported her body, and the darkness in front of her gradually dissipated, and Xie Wuyi saw that the person sitting opposite was actually Xiao Wei with a pale face and purple lips.

He gasped for breath and trembled, as if he had just drowned.

"Your Highness?" Xie Wuyi's medicinal properties have not faded, and he has held his breath for too long, and his voice is a little hoarse.

Xiao Wei was a little strange today, there was no worry or anger in his eyes, but there was inexplicable fear and fear, and that gaze seemed to have passed through Xie Wuyi and landed in the pond just now.

"Your Highness?" Xie Wuyi called out again, and shook his arm tentatively.

Xiao Wei suddenly came back to his senses, his Adam's apple moved, and he leaned over and hugged Xie Wuyi. His strength was so great that he wanted to rub her into his own blood and bones, and never separate again. Xie Wuyi wanted to break away, but after thinking about it, he still didn't resist.

After a while, Xiao Wei's messy aura returned to stability. He let go of his hand and leaned against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed in weariness. He had a water bladder with him, and he had drunk most of it by now, so it seemed that he had been here for a long time.

"Your Highness doesn't know water?" Xie Wuyi saw that Xiao Wei's body stiffened, and he thought that he had guessed correctly, so he suddenly became angry, "Dare to jump into the water if you don't know how to water, is Your Highness crazy?" ”

Xie Wuyi is not a person who doesn't know what to do, of course she knows that Xiao Wei is here to save her. But if she hadn't persevered for most of the way, there would have been two corpses floating in the pond now.

Even if Xie Wuyi had saved Xiao Wei once in the Guanyin Temple, his arrow piercing the assassin's head in Pinglin Yuan would be enough to offset it. said that he would cooperate in the investigation of the case, he saved her again and again, what do you want her to pay back in the future?

In the past, after Xie Wuyi helped others, he would also accept the remuneration within their ability, sometimes it was one or two taels of silver, sometimes it was some green vegetables and fruits, and sometimes it was asked to let the peasant woman wash her clothes with Hua Feidu pulp. But Xiao Wei ......

was betrayed by Fan Lanshu, the wounds were torn again and again, and then Xiao Wei, who started to go crazy and didn't want to die, Xie Wuyi had never felt so annoyed.

"Xiaoyi," Xiao Wei suddenly opened his eyes, "I'm not afraid of water." ”

I'm just afraid of losing you.

He looked at Xie Wuyi fixedly, and he couldn't say the second half of the sentence anyway.

Xiao Wei reminded himself countless times that Xie Wuyi would leave once Qiao Chun's case was clear, so of course he couldn't tell those secret and a little dirty thoughts and disturb her mind in vain. He should be a spectator, silently watching her gallop through the heavens and the earth, blooming freely.

But reason is reason, and he still can't control the heart that wants to get close after all.

In fact, what Xiao Wei was more afraid of was that after Fan Lanshu attacked Xie Wuyi and pushed her into the water, she couldn't hold on to Fan Lanshu returning to the room.

As he watched the bubbles in the pond disappear, his whole body ached, and he wished that he could not replace himself.

Fortunately, he grabbed her, and fortunately, everything was still in time.

Xiao Wei can't say these nine songs, and Xie Wuyi doesn't have time to think about it. She heard Xiao Wei say that she was not afraid of water, so she was a little relieved.

Xie Wuyi lifted the carriage curtain and found that there was billowing smoke coming out of the Wanchun Building that was gradually moving away, and saw that the direction was not the room he was in just now? Xie Wuyi's heart tightened, and a bad premonition emerged, and she tore off the blanket on her shoulder.

Fan Lanshu!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wei had already guessed that Xie Wuyi wanted to turn back to save people, so he took the first step to hold her down and said in a low voice, "Go home." ”

Xie Wuyi was stunned, and was just about to continue asking, but he thought that Xiao Wei could wait for her here, and he must have made arrangements. What's more, she doesn't even have a change of clothes now, and it seems that she has thrown herself into a trap by turning back rashly.

Back at the Yanwang Mansion, Cheng Yi strode out to greet him, and as soon as Xie Wuyi saw him, his footsteps stopped.

"Why are you here?"

Cheng Yi was confused when asked, "Chu Han returned to Chu Mansion, and his subordinates came back when they saw that there was no abnormality along the way." ”

"Where's Ziqiao?"

Purple warp? The look of confusion on Chengyi's face is even more obvious, aren't you talking to her?

Xie Wuyi "chuckled" in his heart. The fire in Wanchun Tower was undoubtedly set by Fan Lanshu, and the officers and soldiers under the guise of catching thieves were undoubtedly given by Chu Han, and it was impossible for Chu Han not to have direct contact with them if he could calculate the time so accurately. Cheng Yi said that Chu Han was not abnormal, and there was no one in Wanchun Building to warn, which could only explain ......

There are Chu Han's people in Wanchun Building, but there is no Xiao Wei's backhand.

Xie Wuyi looked back at Xiao Wei, he was originally walking side by side with her, but at the moment he was just standing in place, his eyes full of indescribable emotions.

He knew that Ziqiao was Fan Lanshu, knew that Fan Lanshu might have clues about Chu Han, and knew that she was going to bring Fan Lanshu back.

And he was waiting in the carriage prepared by Fan Lanshu, and he didn't even have the time to shoot.

The answer was about to come out, but Xie Wuyi didn't dare to think about it at all.

Since when will she start to fall on her heels one after another?

Is it just because you are anxious after getting close to the truth?

Or is it because you want to believe in him?

Xie Wuyi took a deep breath, she turned around and walked into Hua Feidu's room without looking back. Hua Feidu was not in the mansion, and as soon as Chunni and Yunshang were about to follow, Xie Wuyi picked up a dagger from the house and threw it straight behind him.

"Don't come in."

There was silence in the courtyard, and even Feng Da, who had always loved to talk and laugh, did not make a sound. After a long time, Xiao Wei stepped forward and pulled out the dagger stuck on the ground, and went to the study without saying a word.

Xie Wuyi took care of the wound, changed his clothes, and waited anxiously in the room for Hua Feidu. Yesterday, Xie Wuyi privately instructed her to investigate Chu Han's confiscated Zhuangzi according to several locations recorded in Xiao Wei's file, she always felt that these Zhuangzi should not be purely for pleasure, Chu Yufeng always needed a place to raise people in private. It's been a few years, but even if there's a glimmer of hope, you have to try.

She also informed Hua Feidu of the plan to explore Wanchun Tower, there must be changes around Wanchun Tower today, if Hua Feidu is lucky enough, there is a chance to save Fan Lanshu.

Xiao Wei can provide clues, and Cheng Yi can cooperate with her to follow her separately, but there are some things that she still only trusts Hua Feidu.

Xie Wuyi waited until the sun set in the west and Hua Feidu returned to the palace.

"Hua Niang, how's it going?"

Hua Feidu hurriedly took a sip of tea and said: "I have checked, several of Chu Han's Zhuangzi have their own usefulness after being confiscated, I have explored them in the past two days, and most of them have not been modified, except for one far away on Dongxiu Street, which was later sold to Lord He Maoliang of the Imperial History." The Zhuangzi was very tightly guarded, and I couldn't easily get in, and I stumbled a little there. ”

It seems that Hua Feidu doesn't know about Wanchun Tower.

Xie Wuyi was not impressed by He Maoliang, and only learned from Xie Xuan that he was an upright middle-aged man, and it was easy to offend people when he spoke, not to mention Yushitai, even if he added the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, he had no friends.

However, since there is no information about Hua Feidu, this place is worth paying attention to.

"There is a new clue, check the underground dark room, it is not necessarily in Zeyang City, it is also possible that the villages around Zeyang are at least as big as ten Wanchun Towers."

Since Fan Lanshu said that the dark prison where she was arrested was a black hole all day long, it was most likely built underground. Xie Wuyi thought for a while, and then said: "King Yan's booklet of dead soldiers raised by Chu Yufeng, check if there is anyone who may be called 'Brother Xiaoer' in it, and the bottom is finely arranged." ”

Xie Wuyi picked up the golden hairpin that Fan Lanshu finally stuffed to her from the table, "Hua Niang, is there anything special about this hairpin?" ”

Hua Feidu took it and looked at it, this is an ordinary hairpin, "The workmanship is good, the texture of the hairpin head is a popular thread in Hezhou in the west, and I can't see anything else." She sensed that Xie Wuyi's voice was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Girl, did you encounter something in Wanchun Tower?" ”

Xie Wuyi's expression darkened and he didn't speak. She closed her eyes and screamed out the door for a long time.

"Ah Nian, come in."

As soon as he saw the gloomy look on Ah Nian's face, Xie Wuyi already knew what he was going to say.

She ...... He's dead? ”

Ah Nian nodded, "Your Highness said that she set fire to Wanchun Tower, and thirty-four people died. ”

Xie Wuyi's brain exploded with a "boom", she pressed the corner of the table and asked word by word: "How much?" ”

"Thirty-four."

The cold air that surrounded her back climbed onto her back, and a huge sea of blood was surging, almost swallowing her. Xie Wuyi stared blankly at the light outside the window, and Ah Nian's words intermittently drilled into her ears.

"I actually don't like Fan Lanshu, she is not smart and doesn't know current affairs, she only knows how to worry about the word 'love', and she secretly communicated with Chu Han before she left the cabinet, and she was at his mercy after her father was convicted. But ......," Ah Nian said with a wry smile, "Chu Han can't let her go, die early and be relieved, I hope she will be reborn into a good family in the next life." ”

I didn't expect Ah Nian to be so indifferent to his sister, Xie Wuyi moved his eyes to him and took out the golden hairpin, "Do you know this hairpin?" ”

Ah Nian glanced at it and replied flatly: "It's Mrs. Fan's dowry." ”

And so it was.

Fan Lanshu stabbed Xie Wuyi with her mother's relics at the water's edge, although she was vicious, she was not leaving her a way out. Fan Lanshu didn't know the whereabouts of Fan Keyu and Ah Nian, if she and Xie Wuyi left safely, Chu Han would definitely attack her father and brother. And she stabbed Xie Wuyi, causing the illusion that Xie Wuyi set fire to the counter-kill and jumped into the lake to escape, but instead fought for everyone.

Like Ah Nian, Xie Wuyi also thought that Fan Lanshu was weak and confused, but maybe she was the most sober person. Even, Fan Lanshu even left Chu Han's back road.

It was he who misunderstood her that caused the plan to fail, and all the blame was on Yi.

Fan Lanshu exchanged her death for Ah Nian and Xie Wuyi's lives.

It's just that she pulled thirty-three people.

Thirty-three people who had nothing to do with the military rations case.

It was dark, and Xie Wuyi had never been so tired and exhausted. With a wave of her hand, she locked herself in the room alone, her mind crisscrossed with the numbers that Ah Nian said.

Walking the rivers and lakes for many years, fighting for fame and fortune is commonplace. Xie Wuyi is not a saint who is ashamed of her words, and she has also killed many people. After experiencing a lot, the emotional fluctuations of life and death love are inevitably weak.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Even if she has mercy on all sentient beings, what can she do, can she sweep away the injustice in the world with a single whip?

Therefore, she can only stick to her creed and not sacrifice innocent people.

But this time, in exchange for thirty-four people for the clues she wanted to investigate, Xie Wuyi couldn't accept it.

If you let these thirty-four people go today, there will be three hundred and forty, three thousand four hundred, and three thousand four hundred people in the future.

Everyone has their own purpose, Xie Wuyi, who was still making a lot of nonsense in front of Xiao Wei a moment ago, and promised to find Fan Lanshu in front of Ah Nian, suddenly felt that he was hypocritical like this.

Ah Nian, you are really as selfish and cold-blooded as me.

Oh yes, there's one more such person.

That is to say, it is good to cooperate, but he quietly concealed He Maoliang Zhuangzi's abnormality, acquiesced to Fan Lanshu's destruction of the corpse, and cut off an important clue His Royal Highness King Yan.

The pain in her chest was like a knife, Xie Wuyi only felt a fishy sweetness gushing out of her throat, and then she curled up and fell to the ground.
