"This little guy can't say well."

Xu Huaiyuan sighed: "Maybe it's maybe not. Xiaoke always thinks this matter has something to do with his cousin."

Cousin? Is it the tangled spirit Yu Lingxue who has the arrogance of the princess disease?

What does she have to do with this matter?

"Mr. Xu said that Ning was confused. What does Ling Mei have to do with this matter?"

Xu Huaiyuan hesitated for a long time and gritted his teeth and said, "I blame me for not explaining it clearly with my friend Ning. The matter has to start a year ago."

After a moment of pause, Xu Huaiyuan then said, "My cousin is spoiled by the family. Not only is she not a female lover at home, but she often goes out to wander around. One day, she and her personal maid went to Qinhuai River to enjoy the scenery, and met a Meng Rongzi teasing her. At that time, my cousin was shocked and frightened, so she ran away."

Ning Xiu sighed in his heart, how brave he must be to tease Duke Wei’s niece.

"Later, my cousin told Xiaoke about the incident, and Xiaoke was naturally very angry. He ordered the whole mansion to investigate the matter and finally found out who was teasing my cousin by the Qinhuai River that day."

"Who is it?"

Sun Wufan swallowed and spitted, his face full of expectations.

"Gao Sheng, the son of the eunuch Gao Yang, in Nanjing."

"What? Eunuchs can have sons?"

Sun Wufan said with wide eyes.

"Ahem, this Gaosheng is not the biological son of eunuch Gao, but the godson he has recognized."

Sun Wufan wanted to roll his eyes and thought to himself, can you stop breathing after speaking at once?

Ning Xiu was secretly amazed. How could this be linked like the Internet? It was full of dangers and clashes and reversals. It was so exciting.

Xu Huaiyuan didn't know what Ning Xiu was thinking, so he said, "I asked someone to stare at this Gao Sheng, and seized the opportunity to drag him out and beat him up on the street when he was going to the brothel to have fun."

"Is this over?"

Sun Wufan was obviously disappointed and shook his head and said, "Mr. Xu should have ordered someone to castrate him directly. Keeping that thing like this is also a disaster. Don't he like to recognize eunuchs as his godfather? Then satisfy his wish and turn him into eunuchs!"

"Ahem, Xiaoke did have such thoughts at that time, but after thinking about it carefully, he still couldn't do it too much."

Sun Wufan exclaimed: "There are still things that Mr. Xu is afraid of in this world?"

"Xiao Ke is not afraid of him, but his godfather. His godfather Gao Yang is an eunuch in Nanjing, and his power is not bad. The most important thing is that he is an internal supervisor. It would be quite difficult to impeach the Duke of Wei's mansion."

Sun Wufan scratched his head and said, "Why are you afraid of a eunuch?"

"I'm afraid he's making trouble out of nothing."

Xu Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "After all, the inner supervisor is more likely to gain the trust of His Majesty than the nobles. If the eunuch Gao is determined to oppose our Duke's Mansion of Wei, it will definitely cause a bloody storm."

Ning Xiu agreed with what Xu Huaiyuan said. The status of the eunuchs in Nanjing cannot be underestimated. Although they cannot compare with the eunuchs in the capital's rituals, they can also listen to the memorials directly to the heavens.

As long as eunuch wants to participate in the Duke of Wei, his memorials can be delivered directly to the palace without being sorted by Tongzhengsi, so that there is no room for buffering and maneuvering.

Compared with eunuchs, military generals and nobles are suspicious.

No king would choose to believe Wu Xun's words rather than the family slaves.

Xu Huaiyuan's behavior was indeed just right and very appropriate.

"Did Mr. Xu suspect that this person is resentful and revengeful?"

Ning Xiu asked tentatively.

"Xiao Ke is just a guess. Because Xiao Ke really can't think of anyone else to offend him except this person."

Xu Huaiyuan looked a little lonely: "Xiaoke thinks that Ning's friend will definitely help Xiaoke track it down!"

Why did you go around for a long time and then go back?

"Ning is just a scholar. Even if you want to help Mr. Xu investigate the case, you have no idea. But I will definitely give Mr. Xu spiritual support."

"Mental support? What does it mean?"

Xu Huaiyuan said curiously.

"The meaning of spiritual support is that Ning will pray for Mr. Xu, praying that you will catch the real murderer as soon as possible."

Xu Huaiyuan: ""

"Oh, although the case has been handed over to the government office for handling, I think it will be left alone in the end."

Xu Huaiyuan clenched his fists and said unwillingly: "After all, the bigger the incident, the greater the impact on Jingzhou officials. Whether it is the prefect or the county magistrate, he will definitely hope to close the case quickly."

"It's better to ask Mr. Xu to write a letter to Nanjing and hand it over to Duke Wei to see if Duke Wei can do it."

Ning Xiu offered a strategy.

"Xiao Ke has thought about this, but he shouldn't want it."

"Mr. Xu is afraid that Duke Wei will ask you to return to Nanjing as soon as possible after he knows this!"

Sun Wufan smiled and said, "That's to ask the sender to the letter to be slower, so that you can play for a few more days."

Ning Xiu glared at Sun Wufan, and the fat man stopped talking.

"Xiaoke is not for himself, Xiaoke is for his cousin. My cousin always hopes to come to Jinghu to play. It's rare to think that he would encounter such a thing. Alas!"

I can't tell that Xu Huaiyuan values ​​this cousin so much.

Ning Xiu felt that Xu Huaiyuan and You Ningxue did not seem to be a simple brother-sister relationship. It seemed that they could vaguely feel the relationship between men and women.

"The net of heaven is vast and unobstructed. Ning believes that if Gao Sheng really wants to harm Mr. Xu, he will be punished by the Ming law sooner or later."

Since Xu Huaiyuan couldn't make up his mind, Ning Xiu had to comfort him like this.

"No, this matter must not be forgotten like this." Xu Huaiyuan shook his head and said, "I hope my friend Ning can cooperate with me to act in a play."

"acting?"

Ning Xiu said in surprise: "Mr. Xu may as well talk about it."

"My friend Ning, come here with your ears."

Ning Xiu hesitated for a moment but took the initiative to put his body over.

Xu Huaiyuan and Ning Xiu whispered in their ears and bowed, "Please."

"Okay, Ning did his best."

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is set on the fire.

Several prisoners in the county jail were talking and laughing, drinking and playing with each other, which was so happy.

Life is just about being a mess. Just be happy every day if you can make a mess.

"Angkor, we can't be drunk, at least we have to stay awake, otherwise."

"Otherwise, the door lock is tightly locked. If you are afraid that they can run out of the key on us. Don't let it go, drink it!"

"Oh, I'll drink it."

Several prisoners drank in the dark, and the prison head kicked Du Qi beside him and scolded, "Lao Qi, you'd better go and see it again. There's no problem. Brothers can get drunk and stop."

"Okay, I'll go now and let the water go and urinate."

He stood up on the table and walked with a torch in his hand.

There was no problem in the first few cells, and the prisoner hugged in a ball and huddled in the corner to sleep. But when he walked to the cell where the female prisoner of the White Lotus Sect was imprisoned, he found something abnormal.

Oh my god, why did so much blood spill over the corner of that female prisoner’s mouth?

Du Qi was so scared that he fell to the ground, his teeth trembling.

It took him a long time to stand up tremblingly and walk out on the prison wall.

He didn't know how long he had walked in just a few dozen steps. The dim candlelight reflected on his face, and he could faintly see the blood vessels under his pale complexion.

When Wu Laotou saw Du Qi's appearance, he was really shocked and waved his hand and scolded: "Why have you been there for so long? Look at your appearance, those who don't know would think you just came back from the gate of hell?"

Du Qi stammered: "Ah, she is dead, dead"

Wu Laotou said unhappily: "What's dead? What are you talking nonsense?"

The county jail is not like the Jinyiwei Zhaozhu, and it does not frequently torture and confession, so it is rare for prisoners to bear torture and die. The prisoners detained in the county jail are rarely death row prisoners, so it is not common to commit suicide.

That's why Head Wu felt strange. Why did someone die for no reason?

wrong

Wu Laotou's heart frowned, and the clouds between his eyebrows quickly gathered.

There is another person, and another person will be executed according to the law, and it may be possible to cut into pieces to warn others.

That person is the female bandit of the White Lotus Sect!

"You wouldn't say that the female bandit in the White Lotus Sect was dead!"

Boss Wu grabbed Du Qi's collar and asked almost roaringly.

Du Qi said with a sad face: "It's her, it's her. I just went to patrol the prison cell. When I walked to the innermost room, I saw that the female bandit in the White Lotus Sect had been bleeding from all seven orifices. The scene was so terrifying."

"damn it!"
