Ten days have passed, but there has been no progress in the case.

Cui Pu called the relevant responsible personnel one by one for questioning, but in the end, he was angry.

"These bastards! they're all perfunctory to me! they've already discussed it, now they're going to deal with me together!" he yelled at back in anger.

Mu Jiaojiao just looked at him quietly, and waited until he had scolded enough before asking, "What did they do?"

"They didn't do anything...... No, they did. They did what they were supposed to do. But other than that, there's nothing to do!" Cui Pu sneered, "This group of people kept saying that they would do their best to help me solve the case, and they also divided their responsibilities clearly that day, as if they were in a hurry. But as a result, after I went out, no news came back. ”

Now, when it was my turn to call one by one, they began to cry and call their mother, not that they were doing their assigned tasks, but they were afraid to come to see me because they had made no progress, that is, they had done their best, and no matter how much they could do. Don't think I don't know, they just walk around as usual, and then come back to give me an errand!"

"So, they're joining forces to resist you. Mu Jiaojiao shook her head, and then smiled again, "It's really not easy, you have offended all the officials in Liangzhou City in one go, and your ability is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Cui Pu glanced at her, his eyes were full of resentment: "You are still not my lady? Do you see me laughing like this? Don't you see what I'm in a hurry now!"

"Are you in a hurry? Why didn't I see it?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly.

Cui Pu immediately straightened his face and made an anxious look. "Do you see it now?"

"Mmmm, finally saw. Presumably, when this face appeared in front of them, they would all believe it!" Mu Jiaojiao said softly.

"I'm so good at acting, if they don't believe it, they're blind!" Cui Pu snorted unhappily.

Mu Jiaojiao covered her lips and smiled lowly.

Cui Pu couldn't help but laugh.

At the end, he asked again, "How is the eldest lady doing in the past two days?"

Mu Jiaojiao immediately sank her face. "What do you want to do?"

"Hey, can't I just care about my daughter?" Cui Pu hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, now you want to punish her, I will definitely not stop her." It's just that she's also my daughter, and I haven't talked to her properly for so long, so it's always okay for you to let me know how she's doing!"

"She's fine. Mu Jiaojiao said.

Cui Pu nodded hurriedly. "It's good, it's good, then I'll be relieved.

After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Then when are you going to release her?"

"When it's time to put it out, let it go. ”

"It's been so long......"

"What, you want to accompany her?" Mu Jiaojiao immediately smiled at him. This smile is extraordinarily cold.

Cui Pu shuddered, and shook his head busily: "No, no, no, I'm busy! He quickly hid his face and ran away.

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head, then turned around and entered the inner room.

"Lady. Soybean hurriedly took the little girl to catch up.

Mu Jiaojiao asked, "How is the eldest lady now?"

"Very good, just came back from washing the horse, and now I'm copying books. Soybean Road.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded and walked in.

The eldest lady was dressed in homely clothes, and she was kneeling under the window and writing. She was so engrossed in writing that she didn't even know who was behind her.

It wasn't until she finished copying a book that she discovered Mu Jiaojiao's existence, and quickly stood up: "A-Niang." ”

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the obvious dark blue in her eyes, and then picked up the text she copied and looked at it: "These days, are you tired?"

"Tired. The eldest lady replied honestly.

"You only washed the horses for the morning and copied the books for the afternoon, and you only lasted for a few days, and you feel tired? Isn't it even more tiring for others to guard their horses every day and be cautious all day long? As a result, others do their best to do things, but because you are willful for a while, you will be affected by military law, and you will have no idea in your heart?" Mu Jiaojiao said coldly.

The eldest lady was stunned. "That man...... He was dealt with by military law, but didn't Uncle Guo promise me that I would reduce his punishment?"

"It's just a reduction, not a cancellation. Mu Jiaojiao reminded her.

The eldest lady lowered her head and stopped talking.

Mu Jiaojiao asked again: "Do you admit to your punishment in the past month?"

"I do. The eldest lady said, "A-Niang, you are doing this for my good, I know in my heart." ”

"Now that I understand, I will continue to punish you in this way. When will his injuries heal, and when will he let you out?"

That he, naturally, was beaten with a military stick because of the eldest lady.

The eldest lady fixed her head: "I do." ”

Mu Jiaojiao nodded again. "Then you can continue to copy the book! ”

"Good. The eldest lady nodded obediently and sent Mu Jiaojiao out of her room.

Then, she looked back at the empty room and sighed, "I seem to have gone too far this time. The next time you see him, admit your mistake to him!"

In the following days, a layer of dark clouds hung over the Assassin's Mansion. The officials in the Liangzhou Mansion are in and out of the gate every day, and now they are talking about the change of color in the Assassin Mansion. Such a situation was seen by the people, which naturally triggered all kinds of speculations among them.

In Sima's Mansion, Zhan Sima's mood was rarely so happy.

Governor Liu sat across from him, also with a smile on his face: "Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, but this case has not made any progress, and Cui Tingshi is getting more and more anxious these days! I heard that some people were called by him today, and they came out with bloody scolding, and their faces were all blue." If this process continues, I am afraid that this month's period will not be completed!"

"Hey, he is new to Liangzhou, and he is not familiar with everything here, but he has to boast about Haikou because of the glory of the past, in fact, he must be very depressed in his heart. Zhan Sima sighed lowly, "And he's so young, and he's a son of the Bolingcui clan. I've heard that those big families are the most embarrassed, if this thing is not done, it will definitely be a big damage to his face, and how will it end when the time comes!"

"How else can it end? This is originally my duty, Cui Tingshi can help me with love, and it is also my duty not to help me. Whether it works out or not, I want to thank him for his dedication this month. If Chang'an asks about it, the responsibility will naturally be borne by me, and it has nothing to do with him. Governor Liu sighed.

"Yes, it's your business, and you shouldn't blame him. Zhan Sima nodded, "It's just that, no matter what, we are all old people who have been in Liangzhou for many years, and such a big case has not been solved, we have to give an explanation to the people." Especially since the assassin has intervened in this matter, then our side cannot fail to express it. The new assassin is young and thin-skinned, and he can't fall into the reputation of the Boling Cui clan, so let me write a confession on behalf of Cui Tingshi and make it public!"

Hearing this, Governor Liu sighed again. "Zhan Sima, you're just too good-tempered. It's obviously not your fault, in order to solve this case, you took out all the good things at the bottom of the box, and you've been running around these days, and you don't have time to catch your breath. In the end, all your efforts were in vain, and you still have to stand up and deal with the scolding of the people, which is too wronged for you!"

"Where is the grievance? This is what I should do as a parent official in Liangzhou. Even if you can't do something practical for the people, it's always okay to let the people scold and get angry. Zhan Sima looked awe-inspiring and willing to sacrifice his life and die for the sake of the people.

Governor Liu shook his head again, sighing and complaining.

In the study, the two men were full of smiles, and the people outside couldn't help but grieve as they listened to their long sighs.

Really.

Half a month has passed, and there is still no progress in the case. At the end of the month, the people of the caravan couldn't bear it anymore and forced them directly to the gate of the government office.

Governor Liu looked helpless: "Everyone, the ability of this government is really limited, and this time I still failed to solve the case." You have to blame the government, it's the government's fault. ”

The caravan was furious, relying on someone behind him as a backer, and scolded him.

As they were scolding vigorously, they heard one of them shouting: "What are you going to scold at me!" These days, in order to solve this case, Governor Liu has been getting up early and greedy late, and everyone is tired, and this is a fact that everyone's eyes can see. And as early as a month ago, this matter had been taken over by the Assassin's Mansion, and the leadership of the case was also transferred to the Assassin's Mansion. This official is the person from the Assassin's Mansion!"

When the caravan heard this, they came at him.

Zhan Sima was naturally apologetic, and listened patiently no matter how the other party scolded. It wasn't until the other party had scolded enough that he bowed to the other party: "This matter is indeed our fault for assassinating Shifu, and your scolding is also what we deserve." I came here today to apologize on behalf of the entire Liangzhou government for our incompetence and failure to protect the property and personal safety of the people. ”

When the people of the caravan saw this, their faces looked better.

When the crowd of onlookers from afar saw this situation, some people whispered: "Isn't that Zhan Sima? Although he is a Liangzhou Sima, he still has a history of assassination above him! Isn't this case led by the assassin recently? How did it come to the end that the case was not completed, and the assassin did not say anything, but stood up and admitted that it was Zhan Sima who made a mistake?"

"Do you need to say it? It's just bullying Zhan Sima to be honest! In order to save his face, this new assassin has pushed Zhan Sima out as a shield!"

"Then Zhan Sima is too miserable. ”

"yes, the new history of thorns is really useless. It's just that I'm incompetent, I don't even dare to stand up and admit my mistake, I respected him in vain before!"

"Well, I really think he's a daring man! ”

......

Listening to the whispers coming from afar, the corners of Zhan Sima's mouth, who was prostrate and admitting his mistake, curled up with a touch of pride.

And at this moment, I heard a commotion coming from a distance.

"Everyone avoids! Everyone avoids! Cui Tingshi arrests the criminal and returns to the city, everyone avoids!"

A series of cries came into his ears, causing the smile on the corner of Zhan Sima's mouth to freeze suddenly.

Arrest the criminal?
