Yan Mu lowered his head, and his whole body was silent like a dead silent.

Wei Changyi sat down opposite Yan Mu, silent for a moment, and said, "Last time she helped the queen frame Jin You, then you were framed this time, it is hard to guarantee that she did not intervene. Now she has followed Lu Chang'an, and she has already stood on the side of the queen and King Suping. Seventh Prince, don't be confused, let her go if you should leave."

Seeing that Yan Mu didn't say anything, Wei Changyi said again: "Tell you a good news. The emperor has believed that you have nothing to do with those assassins. You have lifted your confinement and restored your official position as a minister of the Dali Temple."

Yan Muleng sneered, “Is that right?”

"This time, in addition to the adoptive father fighting, Jin You made the most effort. In order to let the emperor see her, she let the ninth prince freeze in the yard for an hour at night, which made the ninth prince have a high fever. She then took the ninth prince to kneel outside the emperor's palace to win the emperor's little bit of care. Only then can the emperor be willing to see her and she can plead for you."

Yan Mu looked up at Jin You and sighed heavily, "Don't do this for me in the future."

"Xiao Qi, seeing you complaining about your grievances and sufferings, how could my sister just stand idly by? Even if I take my sister's life, my sister will do whatever she wants. Xiao Jiu, who is also very sensible, said that as long as he can save the seventh emperor, he will not be afraid of anything." Jin You said.

Yan Mu lowered his head, "Why should I have such a bad life?"

"Xiaoqi, you may not be worth a penny in Liu Yunxiang's heart, but you are the only relative except Xiaojiu in your sister's heart."

In the afternoon, Liu Yunxiang felt that she had strength and went to the next yard.

The one who opened the door was Lu Chang'an's servant Danqing. When he saw Liu Yunxiang coming, he hurriedly led him to the yard.

"Madam, please advise our prince not to drink anymore. Jingzhao Mansion urged him to submit the case, but he was drunk all day long. If this continues, he will be ruined. In addition, the prince came back from the northwest and asked him to go home, but he didn't listen, which made the prince very unhappy."

Danqing muttered while walking.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't get in the conversation for a moment. When she entered the main room, a strong smell of alcohol came from the shop. When she looked into the west room, she saw a person who was always elegant and elegant, sitting on the ground, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes.

He was holding a pot of wine in his arms, and was tilting his head to take a sip.

"Is there no plan to land, so it is better to abandon Jichuan materials."

Liu Yunxiang was stunned. She had never seen Lu Chang'an before. She was depressed and drowned her sorrow with wine.

"But what happened?" Liu Yunxiang asked Danqing.

Danqing sighed, "Maybe it was because of the massacre of Ningzhou."

"No murderer was caught?"

Danqing shook her head, "It's hard to say."

At this time, someone was knocking on the door, so Danqing went out first.

Liu Yunxiang walked to Lu Chang'an and tilted his head and took another mouthful, but he choked, coughed hard, and his eyes turned red. She grabbed the wine pot from his hand, and when he rushed over to grab it, she dodged.

"Crown Prince Lu, it's me."

Lu Changan turned his head dullly to look at Liu Yunxiang, his eyes were distracted, and it took him a while to gather his mind, and then he hurriedly turned his back, "Miss Yunxiang... is so rude..."

Liu Yunxiang tilted her head, "How clear is there?"

"No...no drunk."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Then I'll wait for you in the yard."

"good."

Liu Yunxiang came out with a wine pot and saw Danqing coming back with a sad face.

"What's wrong?"

"The prince's mansion is here to urge him again."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "You go in and wait for your master to wash."

Not long after, Lu Changan called out a robe, washed it out, his face was still a little red, and he was unsteady when walking. He looked up and saw Liu Yunxiang looking at him, and quickly lowered his head in shame.

Liu Yunxiang poured a cup of tea and pushed it to the seat opposite her. Lu Changan took a look and then went over to sit down.

"Thanks."

Liu Yunxiang poured himself a cup and raised it up: "Class Lu, I will use tea instead of wine to toast you yesterday's life-saving grace."

"No, Miss Yunxiang is so serious."

Liu Yunxiang drank this cup of tea, "Okay, welcome to be polite, the prince will tell me what happened to you in Ningzhou."

"without……"

"Is it even more worrying to drink to relieve my sorrows?"

After being stunned, Lu Changan smiled helplessly.

"It's better to say it out loud than to be bored in my heart."

Lu Chang'an picked up the cup of tea in front of him, raised it to drink it, and then said, "A massacre in Ningzhou was reported to Jingzhao Mansion. The prefect of Jingzhao Mansion sent me to investigate. The family who was destroyed was a family named Pei, who was a businessman in Ningzhou. The Pei family, including his master and slaves, had more than ten people. They were bleeding in the river one night. When the government arrived, there was a six-year-old girl who was still breathing. When I rushed over, the girl was frightened and could not ask anything.

.I followed some clues and found a person, Zuo Lingyu. This Zuo Lingyu loved Miss Pei's family. However, Miss Pei's family had been engaged since childhood and had a childhood sweetheart, so the Pei family refused the Zuo family's proposal. Two days before the accident, the Pei family went to the government to sue the Zuo family, saying that Zuo Lingyu had forcibly insulted Miss Pei's family, but the Pei family said that it was a misunderstanding and hurriedly removed the case. Two days later, the Pei family was wiped out."

"So you suspect it's Zuo Lingyu?"

"It's not a suspicion. I found many witnesses, all of whom were neighbors of the Pei family. But when I wanted to arrest Zuo Lingyu and return to the government office to ask about the case, the local prefect told me that Zuo Lingyu was the grandson of the Minister of Revenue."

“So what?”

"I asked the same words as you." Lu Changan lowered his head and smiled, "But this question was so naive. When I took Zuo Lingyu back to the government office, all the witnesses changed their words and said that they did not see the murderer clearly."

"What happened later?"

"Later..." Lu Changan hugged his head and remained silent for a while, saying: "I went to find those witnesses one by one. They were obviously afraid of the Zuo family's revenge, but when I repeatedly guaranteed their safety, two people were willing to testify against the murderer. But that night, the two people's family caught fire, and the family of four and six were all burned to death."

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but feel cold on her back, "The Zuo family is too rampant!"

"The more crazy one is still behind. There is not a little girl in the Pei family who is still alive, but she is not clear-headed. After a period of treatment, the situation is slowly getting better. I was afraid that the little girl would be silenced, so I placed her in the inn where I live. But one night, she died and drowned in the pond of the inn."

"The more I investigate, the more innocent people were killed, and in the end I could only make this case a secret case."

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment and said, "Do you still need to check it down?"

Lu Changan shook his head, "I won't check it."

“Why?”

"I'm scared."

"What should I do if those killed?"

“…”

"Criminal, don't give up easily, you are their only hope."

As soon as Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, Danqing shouted outside: "Oh, many beggars are running towards our box!"

Liu Yunxiang followed Lu Chang'an out to see, and indeed saw seven or eight ragged people running desperately, including two children aged six or seven.

"Help! Save us!" shouted the thin man running in the front.

Liu Yunxiang looked closely and saw that there were large rashes on these people's faces.
