However, my new uncle seems to be in a good mood now.

A Yue became more courageous, "I have already ordered people to go back to General Zhao Kuo and said that the lady left the city early in the morning to look for clues."

"Who is coming?" Chu Yu calmed down his expression and asked seriously.

"Wei Qingxiong." Ah Yue replied.

"Wei Qingxiong." Chu Yu's eyes darkened, "Okay, you go down first and I'll call you later."

Ruan Ningxiang said: "Why, do you know him?"

"I don't know him, but I've heard of it."

When Chu Yu comes here, he will naturally investigate the official positions here.

"Wei Qingxiong, a distant relative of Prime Minister Wei's family, relies on the power of his relatives to dominate the government and the public. In this place where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, he has committed corruption and bribery. He is a greedy and lewd man."

But when Ruan Ningxiang heard that she was a distant relative of Mr. Wei's family, she thought of Miss Wei.

In the original text, Chu Yu’s only wife.

She didn't know if Wei Qingxiong's appearance here would be another trigger. In short, she felt a little uneasy.

Chu Yu squeezed her slightly clenched fist and handed over a banknote, "Although it's inconvenient for me to show up, you don't have to worry too much. Secretly give him some money, say a few nice words, and get rid of the trouble.

yes."

"Um."

Ruan Ningxiang pursed her lips and smiled, hiding her uneasiness.

After lunch, Ruan Ningxiang and A Yue rode to the county government office.

The prefect, Wei Qingxiong, was a middle-aged fat man with a big belly and huffing and difficulty walking.

General Zhao Kuo introduced it.

Ruan Ningxiang saluted politely, "I didn't know that Mr. Wei came here in person. Ningxiang was out on business and couldn't come over at the first time. Mr. Wei, please don't be surprised."

"The Lord of Zhao'an County is a commander appointed by the emperor. For the current peace in the South China Sea, I, Wei, have to be grateful to the Lord of Zhao'an County. How can I blame him?"

Wei Qingxiong touched his big belly with his bare hands, smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, and his eyes looked greasy.

Ruan Ningxiang's eyebrows twitched, and she felt sick in her heart. She tried hard to keep the compliment on her face.

"To be honest, Magistrate Liu died under strange circumstances. We suspect that Master Liang has colluded with the Dongdao people."

Ruan Ningxiang paused deliberately and continued: "However, Mr. Wei is wise and managed to maintain peace in the Nanning territory in troubled times. Even the emperor mentioned it to me once."

"The Emperor praised me?" Wei Qingxiong narrowed his eyes and widened them for a moment.

Ruan Ningxiang said calmly: "I just mentioned it, but when I go back, I will definitely mention you like the emperor."

"Then please ask the Lord of Zhao'an County to have a nice word for you when he comes."

Wei Qingxiong was so happy that he was praised by the emperor, and he would be able to straighten his back a little in front of the prime minister.

"That's natural."

Ruan Ningxiang didn't even bother to stuff the money, she just dismissed it with a few words.

Not only did Wei Qingxiong not make things difficult, he also flattered Ruan Ningxiang and took the initiative to entertain her. Ruan Ningxiang said that there were still important things to do at the moment, and it would be difficult to deal with the emperor if she couldn't handle them well.

When Wei Qingxiong heard this, he hurriedly asked people to go to work. He made a bow here, walked through the process, and then returned to his own territory.

General Zhao Kuo climbed up the ranks step by step, and he despised people who relied on nepotism and had no ability, but had to do flattery to save face.

Seeing that the Lord of Zhao'an County dismissed this person so easily, my heart went from looking down on this person at the beginning to admiring him from the bottom of my heart.

He came over and said, "Did the Lord of Zhao'an County have news about Master Liang?"

Ruan Ningxiang sighed, with a bit of dissatisfaction on her face, "Didn't you just get some wind and be rushed back by people?"

He glanced at General Zhao again and said, "Now that Master Liang has escaped from the city, I hope General Zhao will strengthen the patrol of the coastal defense line and stop people from escaping from the sea."

General Zhao Kuo suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Three days later, Mrs. Liu and Magistrate Liu were buried.

Ruan Ningxiang, General Zhao Kuo, and some of Magistrate Liu's colleagues also came.

Liu Wanting was so sad that she almost fainted again.

Master Liang escaped, but the danger was still there. Although General Zhao Kuo sent people to watch over Miss Liu, he was still afraid of what might happen. If something happened again, he would not be able to clean himself up.

He wanted to shift the blame and suggested that Miss Liu be asked to live in Ruan Ningxiang's house in the military camp.

In the army, Master Liang had no chance even if he wanted to kill people for revenge, and Miss Liu would not always be depressed and depressed.

When Chu Yu heard about it, he cursed secretly and really wanted to kick General Zhao Kuo to fight in northern Xinjiang.

But now that he was Dr. Xiao Yu, it was difficult for him to interrupt, so he just waited for Ruan Ningxiang to find an excuse and refused.

The woman who never thought about him actually agreed!!

military camp.

Ruan Ningxiang has her own independent courtyard, but there are not many rooms. Liu Wanting packed up her things and lived in a side room.

Su He was away, and Ruan Ningxiang wanted to step forward to help, but Liu Wanting declined.

Ruan Ningxiang could feel that Miss Liu was somewhat hostile to her.

In fact, she felt a little guilty for saying so about Magistrate Liu that day.

After all, these are just baseless speculations, and the knots must be resolved now.

Ruan Ningxiang thought for a while, then knocked on the door and came in.

The look on Miss Liu's face was unwelcoming.

Ruan Ningxiang opened the door directly and said, "Miss Liu, I know you have a problem with me about your father, but what I want to say is that if you want to clean up the stain on your father, in addition to finding Mr. Liang, you

It is also a key existence.”

"Me?" Liu Wanting looked over.

"Yes." Ruan Ningxiang said, "You are the person who knows the most about my father at present. Why don't you tell me about his experience as an official over the years."

Liu Wanting didn't believe what kind of person her father was. She wanted to clear her father's name, but she didn't want to be poked in the back.

Liu Wanting talked a lot about her childhood.

He talked about what happened after her father was demoted here, and how his mother suffered from leg disease and how she contracted half-dream.

Ruan Ningxiang initially felt that Magistrate Liu was not a good person, but she heard some clues in Liu Wanting's words.

She has always been curious, since this half-dream is so powerful, why has it only spread within the South China Sea in recent years and not been promoted on a large scale outside the country.

The only place where I still have half-dreams is the Southern Territory. The Southern Territory was recommended by Master Liang.

If you think about it carefully, this matter becomes more complicated.

Maybe it wasn't because the people of Dongdao didn't want it, but because Magistrate Liu was secretly trying to stop it, so it wasn't circulated.

No matter what, everyone is dead, in the hands of Master Liang.

Master Liang was also put under house arrest by them, and people from the East Island did not dare to go ashore.

Nanhai City is no longer threatened by Ban Meng.

Ruan Ningxiang looked at the sad Liu Wanting and comforted her: "Don't worry, when Master Liang is caught, I will definitely prove your father's innocence."

Liu Wanting wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and suddenly Moxa knocked on the door and appeared here.

Ai Cao saw Liu Wanting, and Liu Wanting also looked towards him.

Ai Cao slightly avoided looking, walked up to Ruan Ningxiang, and whispered: "The Lord of Zhao'an County has a letter from you."

Ruan Ningxiang took it and it was a letter from Chu Yu.

It says, "I can't sleep alone in my quilt, and I'm looking forward to the return of my family."

Ruan Ningxiang blushed slightly at these ten words.

She put away the letter, her voice got stuck, and said: "That Miss Liu, my people found some news about Master Liang in the south. I have to go and take a look. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you these days, but you

Don’t worry, it’s absolutely safe here, you can just live there with peace of mind.”

"oh."

Liu Wanting didn't pay much attention to Ruan Ningxiang's expression, but kept staring at the man beside her with his head lowered.

The man was thin and thin, and she couldn't see clearly what he looked like, but she felt that he looked familiar inexplicably.

Liu Wanting said: "Have we met before?"

Wormwood replied in a low voice: "I've never seen it."

The voice was familiar, and Liu Wanting walked towards him.

Ruan Ningxiang was afraid of finding any clues, so she hurriedly said: "He is my messenger. Okay, you can go down first."

When Ai Cao was about to leave, Liu Wanting grabbed his arm. The knife wound on Ai Cao's back had not yet healed. The pull caused the wound to crack, causing him to gasp in pain.

Liu Wanting saw his forbearing expression for a moment and the pale color of his lips, and quickly let go, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask what your name is."

Ai Cao lowered his head, endured the pain in his arm, and replied: "Luo Bai."

After saying that, he left the room.

Liu Wanting stared at his leaving back. The back looked like a messenger. He was also in the military camp and was also injured. His eyes were also very similar.

There are so many similarities.

Liu Wanting dared to conclude that this was the person who saved her that night.

His name is Luo Bai.
