"Mr. Ning, Xu went and conducted a careful investigation. It seems that there is no problem with the people in Zhao's house..."
Xu Jinsong, who was hurriedly walking into the house while talking, suddenly stopped talking and stopped when he said this.
The room where he originally thought only Ning Yujin and Mo Jingxiao were present, now had two uninvited guests, making him unable to react for a while.
Xu Zhongsheng stood up and saluted him, and said with a smile: "Master Xu, you are polite. I'm Xu Zhongsheng, we have met before. This is my young lady, I believe you know her."
Xu Jinsong returned the gift politely, but glanced at Ning Yujin with a look of confusion.
Ning Yujin grinned and said, "Mr. Xu was invited by me to help us. As for Miss Lu, she should be here to watch the fun, right?"
"Humph, I am also a bloody person, okay? If there is such a cruel and inhumane scum in Zhuzhou City, I naturally want to get rid of them quickly. You think you are the only one who is great, and you have the heart of a holy mother!" Lu Pingting raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes.
, it seems that ever since he found out that Ning Yujin was a girl, he has always disliked her.
Ning Yujin really wanted to say something to Lu Pingting with sincerity - Why should women make things difficult for women?
However, rather than worrying about quarreling with Lu Pingting, she was more concerned about Xu Jinsong's reaction. She saw his eyebrows furrowed and then relaxed quickly, obviously not welcoming the arrival of Xu Zhongsheng and Lu Pingting.
But they are all adults, so naturally they cannot show anything on their faces. The strange expression only lasted for a moment, and then turned into a smile: "Then Xu will thank you both for the deceased."
"Master Xu is too polite. He is thinking about the women of Zhuzhou City. Saying thank you is too disrespectful." Xu Zhongsheng bowed longly and returned the gift.
Xu Jinsong clasped his fists again: "This matter is originally a matter of the government, but in the end we have to help you, so I must thank you..."
Listening to the seemingly endless conversation between the two of them, Ning Yujin really wanted to shout, "It's over", but she didn't expect that Lu Pingting would take the lead.
"You two have had enough! There is a big bad guy hiding in Zhuzhou City right now. If you push him around like this, new victims will appear!"
Lu Pingting reached out and slapped the table with such force that everyone turned their heads to look at her in shock.
Ning Yujin's eyebrows skipped a beat and she couldn't help but ask, "Does your hand hurt?"
Lu Pingting calmly retracted her hand and chuckled with disdain: "This little pain is nothing."
After saying that, she calmly turned her head and turned her back to Ning Yujin. The expression on her face was a grimace of pain.
Ning Yujin suppressed her laughter and did not expose her. She just turned her head and looked at Xu Jinsong: "What did Master Xu want to say when he came in just now?"
Xu Jinsong sat down next to Ning Yujin, glanced at Xu Zhongsheng and Lu Pingting, hesitated for a moment and then said: "The people in the Zhao family are not suspected of murdering Yuan Wai. Zhao Yuanwai's death should be caused by Shi Yuanwai."
The two hits with the bricks caused his skull to fracture and he died of excessive blood loss."
Ning Yujin nodded, as expected.
Originally, there was something fishy about Zhao Yuanwai's death. She was the one who made up the lie to trick Xu Jinsong out of the Yamen. The purpose was just to see Mr. Chen, the governor of various states. Now of course there is no need to continue this lie.
"It seems that I was surprised and thought too much." Ning Yujin explained the matter in one sentence. Before Xu Jinsong could ask more questions, he changed the subject and continued, "That member Shi has been arrested.
?”
Xu Jinsong nodded and said, "Already in jail."
"That's just in time. Master Xu will accompany me to the prison so that I can check if there is anything wrong with him."
After all, Shi Yuanwai has always had a good reputation, but now his temperament has suddenly changed. Either there has been a huge change in his family, or his closest relatives have dealt a heavy blow to him. But looking at it like this, it is most likely that there is something wrong with him.
"No problem. But..." Xu Jinsong looked at Xu Zhongsheng and Lu Pingting, "Then these two..."
"Of course they won't go with us." When Ning Yujin said this, she saw Xu Jinsong heaving a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but feel a little funny, but she still had to say seriously with a straight face, "They have more important things to go to."
Do."
"More important things..." Xu Jinsong frowned suddenly.
"It's nothing, let's go to the prison first." Ning Yujin also deliberately avoided it, got up and walked out.
Lu Pingting was obviously impatient. When she saw Ning Yujin getting up, she left immediately: "Let's go, scholar. Let's behave well and don't let others look down on us."
At the entrance of Zhuzhou Yamen, there is a long corridor with high walls on both sides. When you look up at the sky, it seems that the sky is only a narrow line.
This design is actually quite good. It is too difficult to escape or rob the prison. This crossing corridor is blocked by one man and cannot be opened by ten thousand people. If you really want to carve out a bloody path from here, you have to be someone like Mo Jingxiao.
Plant with some skill.
The only disadvantage is that it is too depressing. When walking step by step, it seems like the road leading to hell, and there is deathly silence all around.
Xu Jinsong was hesitant to speak all the way. Ning Yujin always looked back and saw his expression, but she didn't say anything, just waiting for him to speak.
When he was about to enter the inner door of the prison, he finally opened his thin lips and said, "Master Ning, Mr. Xu has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"But it doesn't matter." Ning Yujin really didn't want to tell him. She had been waiting for his words for a long time.
Xu Jinsong stood at the door of the prison, frowning and asked Ning Yujin: "Why did Mr. Ning ask people from Yunting Villa to help? There are so many weird people in Yunting Villa, and the murderer may be from their village.
!”
"It's a bit too funny for Master Xu to suspect someone just because of a baseless guess? Or is it because he found something that shouldn't be investigated and is trying to find something else to divert his attention?"
Ning Yujin still likes Xu Jinsong as a friend. It was because of Murong Xuan at first. After getting along for a while, she also felt that he was a good person. If he had really passed the exam in Qiu Wei, he would definitely be a blessing now.
A good official.
It's a pity that he was too kind and righteous. He refused to stay with Mo Jingxiao for the favor of Magistrate Chen, so he came here to be a master, and he still served as a master for four years.
So when kindness and morality conflict, how will he choose?
"Master Xu, don't run away anymore. You clearly have a bold guess in your heart, but you don't want to believe it. You can only turn your attention to other people and suspect anyone else who may have the slightest possibility of committing a crime. But even so, deep down in your heart,
Your sense of justice doesn't allow you to turn a blind eye, so you do your best to collect evidence, thinking that even if you can't end it all yourself, you can let others do it, right?"
Ning Yujin took a step closer to Xu Jinsong. For the first time, a panicked expression appeared on his face, and he stepped back in a hurry.
"You...what are you talking about?"
Ning Yujin's eyes were stern and her expression was solemn: "Are you talking nonsense? Master Xu knows better than anyone else. I don't want to classify you as an accomplice, so I ask you to think about those young girls who died in vain and tell everything you know."
