Chapter 296 A handful of ashes

Ning Wuyan's smile faded slightly.

He stared seriously at Shen Youchu's face, whose eyes were flickering, and asked seriously: "Just checking?"

Is this tracking?

"Yes, I'll check to see if his kung fu is good. If he's not good, let Ju Xiang give him a good beating so that he can take out the bad breath for me."

Shen Youchu put his other hand on his waist and said angrily.

She didn't say she was venting her anger on Ning Wuhuang, only that she was venting her anger on herself.

He did not impose his emotions on others, nor did he use the guise of venting his anger on others to make others grateful.

When Ning Wuyan looked at such a lovely Miss Shen, his heart felt as if something had hit her hard.

In his two lifetimes, he is not a boy who pretends to be innocent. Even for people who are emotionally insensitive, he understands that this is a heartbeat reaction.

"Miss Shen..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ning. I just asked Juxiang to check, but Juxiang said that although he was injured, he still couldn't beat him. Plus, there were so many people following him from Lai'an County Yamen, so she couldn't do anything."

People from Lai'an County Yamen?

Ning Wuyan suppressed the emotion in his heart and became rational.

An adult's heartbeat lasts a moment, but responsibility lasts a lifetime.

Especially in this feudal era, what matters is the right match and the recognition of both families. Nowadays, personal feelings are no longer a matter of consideration.

"So, what did that guard do that made Miss Shen find it incredible?"

Ning Wuyang dragged Shen Youchu one step forward.

Shen Youchu grabbed the hem of his clothes and didn't let go, and he didn't remind her.

Just as Yun Fei and Mei Xiang were about to follow closely, Ning Wuyu stepped out from between the two of them, stretched out his arms, and made a virtual stop to them, shaking his head at them.

Mei Xiang looked at her young lady who was being dragged away by Mr. Ning in front of her, and suddenly realized that this was the alone time that the young lady had dreamed of. She picked up Yunfei, who was still trying to get past Ning Wuyi and was a stumbling block, and took two steps back.

"Sister Mei Xiang, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? What do you want to do? Didn't you see that my young lady has a private chat with Mr. Ning about something important?"

Mei Xiang glared fiercely at Xiao Yunfei, who was too young and had not yet developed feelings.

Xiao Yunfei tilted his head, blinked in confusion, and tried to rush forward.

After being grabbed by Mei Xiang, he was brought back by the collar.

"Don't worry, the guard who wanted to hurt Mr. Ning has already left the territory of Jinling. Besides, among our three expert guards, who is looking for death and dares to disturb Mr. Ning and my lady? Juxiang is still guarding in the dark."

Juxiang is here too?

Ning Wuyi looked left and right, but could not see anyone.

Then I thought that although Fifth Brother and Miss Shen usually do things out of the ordinary, they don't go out of their way, so it should be fine if the Shen family's maid sees them alone.

After all, Miss Shen just said that the news about Lai'an County was obtained by Ju Xiang, and the content of the conversation between the two does not need to be kept secret from Ju Xiang.

At this time, Ju Xiang was squatting in the grass, enduring the mosquito bites while watching her young lady's squirming appearance. She regretted why she didn't go to the ice drink shop to check the accounts, and chose to join in the fun and watch Qing Hao follow.

Probably because her father and mother died of dysentery, and her two younger brothers were also suffering from the disease. She wanted to see with her own eyes where Artemisia annua grows and what it looks like.

Unexpectedly, I first saw Mr. Ning, his young lady, and concubine Lang Qingyi climbing a mountain and chatting together.

I really should go!

When Ju Xiang was upset, she heard her young lady talking about serious matters with a blushing face.

"The guard of Prince Jin's Mansion calls himself Guard A. He asked Magistrate An of Lai'an County to take the government servants to the mass grave. Mr. Ning, what do you think he went to do?"

Find the body.

Ning Wuyang answered in his heart, but on the surface he could only shake his head pretending not to know.

"This Guard A doesn't know how to do things, and I can't guess. However, shouldn't he go to the mass grave? Why are he going to the mass grave? Is Zhou An staying at the mass grave?"

"Maybe."

Shen Youchu suddenly let go of his hand, stopped, raised his face and asked Ning Wuyan.

"Mr. Ning, did you meet Zhou An that night?"

This is a soul torture.

Since he didn't want Shen Youchu to get involved, Ning Wuyang should have shook his head and denied it.

In addition, he knew that there must be guards within ten steps of Shen Youchu. If the plum fragrance is in the light and the chrysanthemum fragrance is in the dark, there will be witnesses to what he said.

But he really didn't need to deceive Shen Youchu who might have guessed the truth.

"That night, except for our own people, all the killers had their faces covered. I couldn't see who was who, but the man who shot me an arrow looked like Zhou An. Later I thought about it, if it weren't for Zhou An If I wanted to save him, he wouldn't set himself on fire with the idea of ​​dragging me into the water."

He mentioned that he wanted to use someone as a support when he was about to die.

Shen Youchu pouted in anger again.

"This seems to be Zhou An's method. He didn't send a letter to the family, saying that if he died, it would be you who killed him. This harmful man will not let anyone stop him even if he dies."

After hearing this, Ning Wuhao still didn't understand anything.

It must be the incredible thing that guard A did that made Shen Youchu suspect the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"So, what did Guard A do? He led the government officials to dig through the entire mass grave?"

"He is not stupid. If Zhou An is really dead, he died because of a case involving robbers, and tobacco is a treasure related to Daxing tax. He is just a guard who can make his own decision. He will gamble for the dead Zhou An. What is the emperor’s intention?”

That can't be done.

Ning Wuyang shook his head gently.

Shen Youchu flattened his mouth, raised the tip of his mouth, and whispered into his ear: "He asked the county government officials to burn all the corpses in the mass graves, and then brought a handful of ashes back to the capital, saying He took it back to explain the matter to King Jin, and Ju Xiang said that the handful of ashes he brought were the ashes of the man who had been burned again by the villagers and his ashes were broken up and scattered."

The escort who was arranged to take Zhou An back to the capital ended up leaving with only a handful of ashes.

Even Shen Youchu, who had never experienced what happened that night, guessed the hidden truth by using this method.

If nothing else happens, if Magistrate An and Su Rui of Lai'an County learn about this incident, they will be able to confirm the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

but.

It doesn't make any sense even if you know it.

Jia Chu's approach seemed to have pierced the window paper, which was a bit impulsive, but the method of burning the corpse again without leaving any traces was the wisest approach.

This is telling everyone involved in the case in Jiangnan Province that the Jin Palace knows the truth, but will not pursue the matter against them.

same.

If they have evidence in their hands, they can no longer attack the Jin Palace.

"It seems that this guard has a good background and can actually make decisions for King Jin."

If he had known this, when the other party attacked him in Hanshan Temple, he should not have calmed down the matter and directly designed a plan to save the other party's life.

otherwise.

He let go of a person who was hostile and prejudiced against him, and returned to the capital to report Zhou An's death to the King of Jin.

The King of Jin would probably place all the blame for Zhou An's death on him.

"Mr. Ning, don't worry. Even if that person is really Zhou An, he is still looking for death. If anyone from Prince Jin's Mansion dares to cause trouble for you, I will protect you!"

Shen Youchu put his hands on his hips and spoke loudly.

Ning Wuyang's originally depressed mood suddenly became cheerful.
