The moon sets and the sun rises, and the earth returns to dawn.
It was a sunny day, with a gentle breeze and slow moving clouds. There were many more people walking on the street than before.
Those who cried continued to cry, those who cried out for injustice had their throats hoarse, and the gate of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen remained as lively as before.
Liang Nai had not returned from the morning, so the matter was reported to Zhu Xian, the young Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture. Zhu Xian was very annoyed and sent the officials who came to report. He put down the pen he had been holding for half a day and said: "This Li Dongyan
It’s really nothing. Didn’t it mean that Ah Li has been found and the other girls will not be released?”
Wei Zheng smiled and did not answer the call.
"What a bastard." Zhu Xian cursed again.
"Sir!" The servant's voice came from outside again.
Zhu Xian shouted directly: "My lord is not here!"
Wei Zhizhi laughed out loud, and the officials outside also laughed.
"No, sir, I'm talking about something else this time," the official said. "A female corpse was found in Dongshitou, and there was a letter left. On the outside of the envelope, it was written that the female corpse was a human tooth.
Sold the girls captured by General Li."
Zhu Xian paused, got up and walked outside: "What female corpse and what letter? Let me see it."
Wei Zheng also followed.
The official was waiting outside. When they came out, he handed the letter to them and said, "This letter was found on the female body. It has not been opened yet. Your Excellency has a look at it."
Wei Zhengzhang curiously came over to watch together, and gradually stood there stunned.
The letter listed the destinations of the girls after they were abducted and trafficked. It was a long row. What surprised Wei was not this, but the names signed on it.
"Ah Li?" Wei Zheng said.
"It's fake," Zhu Xian frowned, "Ali is not in Li Dongyan's hands."
"Who could have done it?" Wei Zhizhang looked at him, "A knight under the guise of Ah Li?"
"What kind of chivalrous person?" Zhu Xian glared at him, "This is murder, knowing the law and breaking the law. It is up to us to decide the right and wrong. There is no such thing as a chivalrous person in the world. He is clearly a person who cares about human life."
"Anyway, this guy is not a good guy," Wei Cheng retorted, "He is also a person who cares about human life."
"Then we can't kill indiscriminately," Zhu Xian Surong said. "Thanks to you, you are still a member of our Jingzhao government office. How can you act on your own initiative?"
"No more," Wei Zheng said, "Do you want to go and see the female body?"
"I won't go," Zhu Xian put away the letter in his hand. "There's nothing to see with a corpse. I'll just wait for the autopsy to be done and let you know the situation. If you want to go and see it, go with them. I'll take people to look for it first."
Look for these girls to save those ignorant women outside from crying endlessly."
"What mother wouldn't feel sad if such a grown-up girl was snatched away for no reason? What does this have to do with ignorance?" Wei Zongzhang curled his lips, "Sir, you should have some fun now and send people to look for her.
It’s so easy, much easier than asking Li Dongyan for someone.”
"Get out of here!" Zhu Xian kicked him.
……………………
"But what's weird is that it's really a female corpse, just thrown on the street corner like a tattered sack."
"What's going on? There have been more and more strange things happening recently."
"Yeah, I think about the coffin that appeared late at night not long ago."
Zhao Ning listened calmly and slowly stirred the soup in his hand with a spoon.
Song Qingtang looked away from the window and said, "It's really noisy here."
"It's not noisy on weekdays," Zhao Ning smiled. "It's usually very cold and quiet, but now it feels like a big city in Kyoto."
"That's right," Song Qingtang said, his eyebrows becoming worried, "the past few months have been really depressed, and people's livelihood has been too difficult."
"What was General Song doing yesterday?" Zhao Ning asked.
"Huh?" Song Qingtang looked at her, then felt a little embarrassed and said lightly, "Well, I'm a little busy..."
Yesterday, he heard that Ah Li had been caught, so he felt there was no need to come over. As a result, after struggling for a whole day, he was finally told that it was a lie.
I don’t know what Li Dongyan and Yan Yunwei think.
Zhao Ning was still smiling and looked back at the soup that he was stirring.
One lap, one lap, and another lap.
The ripples spread slowly, and the white fungus and dates in the soup were almost broken.
"What about that," Song Qingtang said, "Madam, do you still remember that Ah Li?"
Zhao Ning smiled: "How could I forget my savior?"
"Oh..." Song Qingtang responded, and then asked, "Then, have you met her since you came to Beijing?"
"No," Zhao Ning shook his head, "When I came to Beijing, I didn't even know she was in the capital. I only found out about her when I saw her portrait on the bulletin board."
"So you haven't met each other these days?"
"No," Zhao Ning said with a smile, "She probably doesn't know that I have come to Beijing, but even if she knew, according to her temperament, she would not come to me specifically to reminisce about the past. After all, she has helped me save my life, and I have always loved her.
Maybe it’s not even a chance encounter.”
Song Qingtang sounded a little strange, but he also thought it made sense.
"Indeed," Song Qingtang said in a low voice, "She behaves too eccentricly. I have never seen such an unpleasant girl."
"Song Lang made a mistake," Zhao Ning said.
"What?"
"Pleasant," Zhao Ning looked at him, "the word begging means seeking, but Ah Li is not like that. She lives alone and doesn't need other people's likes."
"..."
Song Qingtang felt that the sarcastic expression on his face sounded strange, as if Zhao Ning was embarrassing him.
But the veiled woman sitting opposite her had a clear smile in her eyes.
"You walk alone." Song Qingtang repeated, while continuing to look at her calmly.
He had been wondering if there was someone behind that smelly girl, but thinking about it carefully, when he first met her, she escaped from a den of thieves along with a large number of servants, women, and slaves.
After that, during the fights with her, she was indeed alone, and no one was seen around her.
Really a loner?
But where did she, a little yellow-haired girl, learn such skills and an eloquence that makes people angry when she doesn't speak.
Wait, Song Qingtang suddenly thought of something, that is, when they first met, this stinky girl had threatened him with her noises.
At that time, it seemed that she claimed to be the Zeng family of Muzhou, but she quickly rejected her on the spot.
Could it be that it is really related to the Zeng family in Muzhou?
"Miss, miss!" the little maid's voice suddenly sounded. She opened the door and ran in without knocking.
Zhao Ning was not frightened at all, and looked at the panting little maid calmly: "What's wrong?"
"Female corpse, a female corpse was found in Dongshi." The little maid said.
"Well, I heard, you don't have to be so panicked," Zhao Ning said.
"Yes, it's Ren Yazi," the little maid said out of breath, "I heard that it was Ren Yazi who went into Yanyun Camp last night to help abduct the girl."
