With that, she slowly pushed the wooden box in her hand to Zheng Wan's side.

Zheng Wan was a little puzzled, but he still took the wooden box and slowly opened it.

"Click!"

The wooden box was uncovered with a loud sound, and the wooden box was empty, with only two jade pendants falling at the bottom.

Just when she was still wondering what the jade pendant meant, Qu Rou on the side suddenly took one of them in her hand and said excitedly:

"This is the peony jade pendant that Aya left for her son, saying that she wants to use it as a gift in the future."

Zheng Wan's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, didn't they come to find evidence in the case of illegal salt? What is the purpose of taking out and taking the ceremony?

But Qu Rou didn't think so, the moment she saw the jade pendant, her heart suddenly opened, and her hands kept stroking the jade pendant, telling her true identity.

Under the erratic candle flame, Zheng Wan and Zhao Qingmiao heard a tragic story.

A clean official was slandered as a corrupt official, and since then his wife and daughter have been reduced to musicians, and they have turned their thoughts about their families and their resentment towards their enemies into the will to survive, and they have struggled to this day.

The two looked at Qu Rou, who had a gentle appearance, and couldn't imagine that she was a girl who could ride a horse and go wild on the grassland before she was ten years old.

But the two of them can also realize that although Qu Rou's appearance has been smoothed out, her heart is still hot.

At this time, the two were completely immersed in Qu Rou's story.

Zhao Qingmiao even scolded indignantly when he heard that he had been framed for embezzling 3 million yuan of money:

"Damn! The case was hastily closed without even finding out the real culprit, and now that group of corrupt officials must be living a good life. If there's anything we can do to help, you must say it. ”

Zheng Wan was interrupted by this voice, and immediately lowered his head and took out a jade pendant from the wooden box.

If the truth of the matter is really what Qu Rou said, then there must be something wrong with the other jade pendant.

Even a problem that is enough to affect the overall situation, so that Father Yang buried it together with the gift of his most beloved little daughter, there must be a hidden meaning in it.

The moment Zheng Wan touched the jade pendant, she immediately noticed that something was wrong.

The carved lines on the top of this jade pendant actually had scales, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

Worried that she was thinking wrong, she immediately took the jade pendant and leaned under the candle flame to take a closer look.

Under the dim candle light, the pattern carved on the top of the jade pendant clearly appeared in front of me, and I couldn't help but gasp.

"Shhhh

The other two heard the sound of inhalation and immediately set their eyes on the jade pendant that was blocking the candle flame.

When they saw the suddenness above, the two of them showed the same frightened eyes as Zheng Wan, and even wondered for a moment if their eyes were wrong.

Zhao Qingmiao wiped his eyes even more, worried that his eyes were wrong.

She is an ordinary person who knows that not everyone can carve and embroider dragon patterns on jade ornaments, clothes or other external objects.

And the crystal clear, exuding icy moonlight jade pendant in front of him is carved with a five-clawed cloud dragon.

The lines of the dragon's claws are clearly visible, and there is no question of misreading at all.

So how did Yang Huaiyuan, a five-grade foreign assassin, own this jade pendant?

There is only one possibility, the three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the horror and hesitation in each other's eyes.

After all, after this object is taken out, if there is a heart on it, there is only one result waiting for the three of them.

When Qu Rou realized that this matter was far more dangerous than she had imagined, she immediately snatched the jade pendant from Zheng Wan's hand, and said with a condensed face:

"This matter has nothing to do with the two of you, please treat it as if today's incident has never happened, it is just to wash away the grievances of your family, and the two innocent people should not be involved."

As she spoke, Qu Rou wanted to take the jade pendant and go out, searching all the people she knew in the workshop in her mind, wanting to see who could help her.

But after thinking about it for a while, there was no one who could help.

Liu Xunjiang, the only one who is willing to help her, but she is not willing to involve the other party, with his white identity, it is estimated that the possibility of being able to reach the heavens is also very small, but it is not impossible.

At the same time, there is a high probability that the Liu family will also fall into a desperate situation after helping her.

Therefore, she decided to go back to hibernation for the time being, waiting for a better time - when the verdict of the private salt case is made, even if it is against the world's condemnation, she will tell her grievances.

Just when she wanted to continue walking, she suddenly felt that her body could not move.

Turning around, she found that it was Zheng Wan who was pulling her cuffs, she looked at the other party firmly, and shouted in a begging tone, "Don't get involved." ”

"I've already entered the game, so how can I talk about participating?"

In the process of Qu Rou's decision, Zheng Wan also thought one thing clearly, and when Cui Zhiyun found out that she had been targeted by the smuggling salt gang, the development of things was no longer under her control.

Now even if it is for her own life, she can't give up the evidence in Qu Rou's hands.

For herself, for the innocent Zhang family, and Qu Rou, who has been dormant for a long time in front of her, she can't miss this evidence.

Qu Rou felt that she couldn't understand Zheng Wan's words, and explained:

"Now no one knows that I have this kind of thing in my hands except the three of us, as long as nothing happens to the two of you, you won't be involved."

"But what Qu Niangzi didn't know was that before you came, Cui Jiancheng had already informed me that there was a high probability that he would be listed as a target for extermination by the smuggling salt gang.

This jade pendant is death, and staying in place is also waiting for death, so why not fight it! ”

"Zheng Niangzi ......"

Qu Rou didn't expect the scene she had just seen, and she was actually talking about it, and she didn't know what she should say for a while.

The moment the two looked at each other, they both made a decision, and now things were no longer something they could avoid if they wanted to retreat, only a glimmer of life that they could struggle for, and maybe they could still seek.

The two immediately made a decision, and when the others had not reacted tomorrow, they took the opportunity to go to work and handed over the jade pendant to Cui Zhiyun, who was in charge of the case.

Zhao Qingmiao was worried about the safety of the two and decided to go into battle, and stubbornly did not listen to Zheng Wan's orders.

Zheng Wan thought that she also knew about it, and there were no innocent people in the eyes of those illegal salt gangs.

So, she was also counted.

Early the next morning, when the sky was dawning and illuminating the way forward, the three of them closed the gate and hurried to the position of the capital water supervisor.

Chapter 87: Extinguishing the Mouth

Just as the group of them was heading towards the Dushui Prison, the other two people were also heading towards Zheng's residence.

The three of them were nervous every step they took, and even the flowers and trees that passed by randomly on the road, and the "rustling" sound made by the wind could make the three of them look left and right for a while.

Even louder were the sound of his own chaotic footsteps, his breathing, and the most violent heartbeat.

Obviously, it was already dawn at this time, and it was supposed to be a safe time period, but the three of them just had a sense of urgency for no reason.

Especially Zheng Wan, who started work earlier yesterday than now, and she was never so nervous, she subconsciously clenched Zhao Qingmiao and Qu Rou's hands.

While giving strength to himself, he is also giving strength to the other two.

"Rustle—"

A strange sound suddenly came from behind them, and the hearts of the three of them looked back sharply as if they had been suddenly pinched.

But I found that it was just the sound of a pile of fallen leaves being blown up by the wind and scraping against the stone slabs of the street.

The three of them looked at each other, exhaled in unison, let go of their hands, and wiped the fine beads of sweat from the corners of their foreheads.

In order to alleviate the overly tense atmosphere, Zheng Wan deliberately smiled at the two and quipped:

"The three of us are really all soldiers now, and before we can present our things, we have already begun to mess with ourselves. Don't forget, yesterday I said yes, that ......"

As he spoke, Zheng Wan pointed to the surrounding position.

Yesterday, Cui Zhiyun said that she would assign a guard, but she remembered it in her heart, maybe she was watching the three of them in a certain place now.

At the same time, this is also the confidence that she dares to take advantage of the dawn to rush to the capital water supervisor as soon as possible.

Zhao Qingmiao heard it together, and Qu Rou also knew this information last night, and the sanity of the two of them finally returned a lot, and their nervous expressions eased slightly.

Then the three of them took a much brisk step forward, and they walked to the position of the two streets behind the back door of the capital water prison.

Because there were no problems at such a distance, the three of them were in a more relaxed mood and were about to step around the corner.

Zhao Qingmiao was even more excited to speed up her pace, the first to walk forward, just the moment she was about to step into the corner, Zheng Wan, who had been staring at the ground, suddenly found that on the ground in the corner in front of her, there was an abnormal silver light, as if it was reflected by something.

In just a moment, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and grabbed Zhao Qingmiao's belt and stepped back.

At the same time, a loud shout: "Be careful! ”

Zhao Qingmiao stepped back with Zheng Wan's pulling movements, and when he heard this scream that was about to puncture his eardrums, his brain was in a trance for a moment.

Qu Rou on the other side didn't know why, and subconsciously stopped her steps and stood in place.

In the next second, two silver rays of light suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.

At a glance, the three of them could see that this was a sharp long knife, which was coming straight towards Zheng Wan and Zhao Qingmiao's front door.

When Qu Rou saw this scene, she wanted to shout something, but found that she suddenly lost her voice, opened her mouth wide, and looked at the murderous picture in front of her in amazement.

Zhao Qingmiao, who was strong and strong, reacted quickly, and directly pulled Zheng Wan back together, and at the same time picked up the broom in the corner of the wall at random and blocked it towards the long knife that was slashing straight over.

"Click!"

The knife cuts into the broom, and directly cuts it partially, making a violent sound.

The person who came didn't expect that there was still someone who could block his knife, so he quickly lifted it, and the two of them glanced at each other and attacked Zhao Qingmiao fiercely together.

Feeling the increased intensity again, Zhao Qingmiao had to let go of the hand holding Zheng Wan, holding the broom with both hands, and using the simplest method to resist the attacks of the two.

Zheng Wan couldn't have watched Zhao Qingmiao fight alone, his eyes scanning the streets, trying to find a weapon to take advantage of.

Just as she was about to pick up a stick, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air behind her.

"Whoa—"

She subconsciously dodged to one side, turned her body away, and immediately saw a masked man coming towards her, her frightened eyes imprinted on the shiny long knife, and her brain stopped for a moment.

The next second, I closed my eyes tightly, thinking that I was going to die here.

With a snap, a piece of gravel shattered beside her, and a small splash of gravel cut through her right hand, and the pain made her realize that she was still alive.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that the long knife near her head had been withdrawn, and she immediately straightened up and looked at Qu Rou, who was wrapped in stone.

The thief didn't expect that two or three people didn't solve the three weak girls, and they were even more angry in their hearts, and they were about to kill Zheng Wan, the number one person, with a long knife held high.
