Rong Zhen walked through a narrow and dark corridor and walked out of the old prison cell under the watchful eyes of the female officers.

The dazzling sunlight made Rong Zhen stop where he was for a while.

She raised her hands to cover her eyes, as if she was adjusting.

The strong river wind blew against her face, blowing the wet hem of her white dress and making a squeaking sound.

The palace skirt is a bit wide, with flying skirts, temporarily outlining the petite lolita figure of a girl in palace dress in the wind. The comparison between the two makes people worry whether she will be blown away by the river wind and fly straight into the sky.

The entrance to the state prison.

Ouyang Rong and Yan Liulang have disappeared.

Rong Zhen got used to the light, and with her bare hands covering her eyes, she gently touched the mandarin duck jade hairpin on her temples that was imitated by Her Royal Highness the Princess and the ladies in the city.

She didn't know what she was thinking of, but she suddenly said to herself in the air in front of her:

"How similar... Well, although the prime minister's belly can hold a boat, and the husband will naturally gain weight when he reaches middle age, you should not get fat in the future. Don't imitate the master in this regard. He is quite handsome now if he is thin..."

I don't know who I'm talking to.

After being lost in thought for a while, Rong Zhen turned around and walked to the stable nearby, where a carriage was waiting.

Rong Zhen wore a long skirt, which was not convenient for riding a horse.

A figure of a short young man wearing a felt hat approached slightly furtively.

Rong Zhen climbed onto the carriage shaft without even looking at him.

"Well, my brother-in-law has just been waiting for you at the door for a while, but you didn't come out. He just left and went back to the Jiangzhou lobby with Yan Canjun."

Wang Caozhi honestly reported to the female historian, looking serious:

"He also brought someone out of prison. He looked quite strange... My brother-in-law is waiting for you. Is there anything important?"

Rong Zhen shook his head calmly: "I won't wait for important things."

"That's true, haha."

Wang Caozhi scratched his head, looked at the sky above his head, suddenly patted his forehead and said:

"By the way, before I left, my brother-in-law also said that you praised me and said that I was quite satisfied with my performance... so my brother-in-law told me to stay in Xunyang Grottoes and cooperate with you in my work. If you have any instructions, just ask..."

Rong Zhen interrupted without raising his head:

"Okay, got it, let's go."

She climbed onto the shaft of the car driven by the female officer.

From the corner of his eye, Wang Caozhi caught a glimpse of a girl in palace clothes who had just sat down in the gauze tent inside the carriage shaft, seemingly waving her hands casually.

"Shopkeeper Wang, let's go back together. I don't dare take the instructions seriously, but there is still a burden for you to carry at the grotto. I won't say any more, let's go."

"I understand, I understand. I, Wang Caozhi, listen best to my brother-in-law. I will definitely cooperate with you... Hey, hey, wait for me! Why did the car leave? I haven't gotten in the car yet. Didn't we say we would go back together? Wait a minute.

I……"

Wang Caozhi stood under the shaft of the carriage, patting his chest to express his loyalty. Halfway through his speech, he found that the shaft of the quiet carriage in front of him moved directly, and it moved forward silently.

Wang Cao subconsciously grabbed the outer frame of the car's shaft and chased forward a few steps, but the car's shaft was getting faster and faster, showing no intention of stopping.

He couldn't help but open his mouth wide and shouted speechlessly:

"I'm still under the car, let's go back together, wait a minute, wait a minute..."

The rolling sound of the wheels remains unchanged, and the dust is stirred up further and further away.

Wang Caozhi suddenly shouted: "There is one more thing. My brother-in-law gave me an instruction and asked me to tell it to you!"

The girl in palace clothes in the gauze tent of the chariot seemed to look back.

The car driven by the middle-aged female officer finally slowly stopped.

Wang Caozhi breathed a sigh of relief, trotted up quickly, and took the opportunity to climb onto the carriage.

When he got to the car, he just sat down and didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his forehead. Rong Zhen's face was cold and his jade lips parted slightly:

"What are you talking about? Say it quickly."

Hearing this businesslike and cold voice, Wang Caozhi swallowed his saliva and tried to say:

"Brother-in-law said, if I am really too tired, don't be brave and tell you directly. Brother-in-law asked me to bring you a message that you can take care of me at Xunyang Grottoes..."

"Oh, is it so?"

Rong Zhen heard half of it and chuckled. Just as he was about to interrupt, Wang Caozhi immediately waved his hand.

He spoke righteously and said with dignity:

"But I refused! I refused as soon as I heard it. I appreciate my brother-in-law's kindness, but am I, Wang Caozhi, someone who uses that kind of kinship to get through the back door? I am definitely not, and you don't need to say that, neither of us are! In the future,

When it comes to things to do in Xunyang Grottoes, you should do whatever you want to do. Business is business, so don’t listen to your brother-in-law!"

Under Rong Zhen's expressionless gaze, the short young man became more and more impassioned as he spoke.

After making this big call with saliva sputtering, he turned his head and asked a little cautiously:

"You think so, Sister Rong...?"

There was sudden silence in the carriage.

It was deathly silent, except for the sound of wheels outside.

"I didn't hear you, you...what did you say?"

"Sister Rong!" Wang Caozhi shouted in a loud voice, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he beat his chest and asked with concern: "Have you forgotten? I am Cao Zhi! Our brother-in-law sent us to help.

Is this all the case? Sister is really busy and confused..."

The originally expressionless and aloof female Lady Shi was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, her expression changed wonderfully.

…

"Take it off, why are you still wearing it?

"How's the sun? Are you still cold? I'll ask Rokuro to get you a towel to wipe your wet hair..."

In the afternoon, near dusk, Jiangzhou lobby.

After Ouyang Rong finished handling the matter, Yuan Huaimin could not be found. Hearing Yan Liulang whisper a few times, he shook his head, walked out of the main hall, and asked Li Yuxiao, who was sitting alone by the flower bed in the yard.

Li Yu stood up and greeted Ouyang Rong.

With his feet still shackled, he lowered his head and stared blankly at the key that the young official in front of him had casually thrown on the flower bed.

Ouyang Rong glanced at Li Yu's wet hair and his dazed face soaked in the cold lake water.

Then I looked at the dusk sun that was getting darker.

He had just brought Li Yu out of the prison in Jiuzhou Prison. He greeted Wang Caozhi at the door of the prison and waited for Rong Zhen for a while.

I haven't seen her come out for a long time, and I don't know what she is doing inside. Is she dissatisfied with him or sulky?

In addition, the strong wind on the riverside was too cold for Li Yu, who was still wet, to stay longer. Ouyang Rong simply took this poor prisoner who was "not thin but fat" in the water prison and took him back to the Jiangzhou lobby.

While he was doing business in the main hall, he left Li Yu in the yard to bask in the sun to remove moisture from his body.

Although I had changed into clean clothes, I had been soaking in the lake for so many days after all.

The last person Ouyang Rong saw who was so good at brewing was a [craftsman].

In addition, since he was imprisoned and had not seen the light of day, this middle-aged member's skin was sickly pale and chubby, making him look weak at first glance.

Ouyang Rong was a little afraid that he would be killed by the sun in the next second.

Li Yu's fat body was a little shaky, but of course, it was not as exaggerated as Ouyang Rong feared.

Waterboarding is very scary, both physical and mental torture, and can easily cause some permanent trauma to people.

But after all, he was only detained for half a day, after Xin Xizuo confessed and Rong Zhen became suspicious of him.

Before that, Rong Zhen was actually quite kind to him, and he almost exposed the two women's hiding of Li Yu's house.

Strictly speaking, it was Li Yu who deceived the female historian who had little sympathy.

Don't blame Rong Zhen for being so angry.

I believe that after experiencing this incident, Rong Zhen's heart will become colder and he will no longer easily trust outsiders.

As for people you already know and trust...ahem.

Ouyang Rong felt guilty for no apparent reason as he thought of something.

Speaking of which, "Master Dielianhua" is the biggest rebel at the top of the wanted list.

Ouyang Rong had a headache, but he was quickly brought back to attention by a series of crisp wooden fish sounds in his ears.

[Merit and virtue: three thousand and ninety-three]...[Merit and virtue: three thousand and ninety-seven]...[Merit and virtue: three thousand and one hundred and one]!

The blue-gold font above the small wooden fish in the merit tower finally stops at the number "three thousand one hundred and one".

It should be that the merit points gained by rescuing Li Yu today are less than 100.
To be continued...
