Chu Yunli sneered, "Just because your voice is loud doesn't mean it's reasonable."
She went out and told the woman who was guarding the door, "Watch the people inside, don't let her come out, and don't let anyone know there is anyone inside."
Autumn came early this year, and the leaves outside the city seemed to turn yellow faster than in previous years.
On this day, news suddenly came that Qin Shengyu, who was supposed to be waiting in prison for the execution of Queen Qiu, suddenly died at the foot of a cliff in the suburbs. When he died, his body was covered in blood and flesh, and there was a fallen horse beside him.
I couldn't find the coachman, and I don't know if I jumped out of the carriage and ran away because of the situation.
Judging from the blood stains, Qin Shengyu was not dead when he fell. He seemed to be able to move. He climbed forward a lot, leaving blood stains all the way. However, there were few people under the cliff. After climbing a few feet, he could no longer move.
Just lying there, lifeless.
The person who discovered him was a woodcutter who was cutting firewood on the outskirts of the city. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to hide his life. He went directly to the county government to report the case. When the government officials came, they discovered that the deceased was Qin Shengyu.
The official took the man back. It is said that when he saw his body, Qin Zhizhou almost couldn't stand still. Mrs. Qin, who hurried to identify the body, fainted immediately.
Soon, Mr. Zhou who was about to leave Tongcheng also rushed over. After seeing the people on the ground, he waved his hand and ordered a thorough investigation!
Qin Zhizhou originally wanted to investigate thoroughly when he was furious, but after hearing Master Zhou's instructions, he calmed down and said, "It's better to let this matter go. Although he is my son, he has also made a big mistake..."
Mr. Zhou looked extremely serious, "I want to thoroughly investigate the prison. Since he can get out without alerting us, this matter is of great importance. The criminal Qin Shengyu was originally a death row prisoner, and he died when he died, but he quietly removed the death row prisoner from the prison."
If word of the exchange spreads, not only will the national prestige be damaged, but where will the law be placed? If the emperor knew that Tongcheng Prison was so lax..."
He looked at Qin Zhizhou with a look full of ridicule, "Master Qin, no matter whether this matter is related to you or not in the end, you should go to the capital to explain."
Originally, Qin Zhizhou was the highest-ranking minister in Tongcheng. Now that the prisoner on death row escaped from the prison, he was derelict in his duty. Coupled with the incompetent reprimand from his godson... Qin Zhizhou looked dejected and only said, "Responsible for guarding the prison."
It’s Master Zhang.”
That is to say, Tongzhi, the two of them are at odds.
This statement implies that Qin Shengyu was let out by others and then killed in the suburbs.
Lord Zhou sneered, "That's true, so Lord Zhang will also go to the capital by then."
It should be said that the death row inmates were able to escape from the prison, and the officials from top to bottom in Tongcheng were inseparable from it, and at least they had to be demoted.
When Chu Yunli heard that Qin Shengyu was dead, she was at the Anyun Tea House. Nie Munan was sitting opposite her. After listening to the entourage's report, he sighed, "They should ask us about it by then. Just pretend you don't know anything."
Already."
Chu Yunli carefully recalled the behavior of the brother and sister, and said, "There should be nothing unusual. We left the city to Zhuangzi at dawn. I can explain it myself. I just said that my sister-in-law has had a bad appetite recently, so we went to find fresh wild vegetables.
"
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Fang Shaoan walked in, "Mu Yun," he looked at Nie Munan again, and said in a more respectful tone, "Brother."
Nie Munan snorted and pointed to the restaurant next door, "You can buy it over there and find a storyteller. The teahouse can be elegant, but some people like to be lively. You can try both."
This was a deliberate reminder. Chu Yunli also felt that this place was a bit too elegant, but turned away some guests who liked the previous teahouse.
Fang Shaoan nodded, "Yes, I was talking to my neighbor recently."
Already talking?
Nie Munan's eyes were full of admiration. He looked at his sister and said, "Hurry up and find a matchmaker to propose marriage. It's better to settle the marriage as soon as possible."
It was a relief.
Fang Shaoan immediately said, "I have already hired a matchmaker. I wonder when my eldest brother will be free... so we can come."
Chu Yunli answered, "I'm free every day." Nie Munan glared at her.
After he went out, Nie Munan hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, "Girls, you have to be reserved! You have to hold on, so that a man can take you into his heart."
Chu Yunli glanced at him and asked tentatively, "Just like Yan Yuxi?" When it comes to being reserved, Yan Yuxi is the ancestor!
Nie Munan was speechless and coughed, "There's no need to be too reserved..."
"Brother, this is too difficult, I can't control it." Chu Yunli spread her hands, approached him and whispered, "Hurry up and make a decision about the marriage. We will be an unmarried couple by then, so there is no need to be reserved."
Nie Munan: "..." That makes sense!
Fang Shao'an kept his promise and changed his clothes specially the next morning and brought the matchmaker to the door. Nie Munan did not embarrass him and officially accepted Xiao Ding. The marriage was finally settled.
Chu Yunli and Fang Shaoan became an unmarried couple again!
The marriage was settled here, and the official from the government office arrived to question the brother and sister.
As soon as they entered the government office, the two of them were separated. After Chu Yunli entered the door and sat down, a maid immediately brought tea. Before the cup of tea was finished, Mr. Zhou came in.
Chu Yunli hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Master Zhou."
Mr. Zhou waved his hand and said, "Sit down." He poured a cup of tea by himself. After drinking it, he said, "I came to see you brothers and sisters. I mainly want to ask you something."
"Say." Chu Yunli put down the tea cup, "I will definitely tell you everything."
Mr. Zhou gave her a meaningful look, "I heard that my father and the others lost their lives because the horse went crazy and led the couple into a mountain wall."
Chu Yunli lowered his head, "Yes."
"I didn't expect that after so many years, the murderer who caused their tragic death was also carried off the cliff by a running horse. It really fulfilled the sentence: God's justice is clear and retribution will not be happy." Mr. Zhou stared at her closely, "Miss Nie thought
how?"
There must be some doubts about their brother and sister. Mr. Zhou is a censor. When big cases happen, he has to interrogate with the Ministry of Justice. He came to talk to her instead of going to Nie Munan. He probably thought that she was a little girl and it was easier to talk to him.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunli smiled in her heart, with a serious face, "My parents were able to redress their grievances, and we, brother and sister, are very grateful to you. As for the murderer, there are laws to deal with it. In fact, as early as the verdict that day, I felt that
We have had our revenge."
"Oh?" Mr. Zhou asked again, "Then when they left the city, you two brothers also left the city right after them. Is it a coincidence?"
"It's just a coincidence!" Chu Yunli frowned, "We don't know when he will leave the city. It happened that my sister-in-law wanted to eat the wild vegetables on the farm, so my brother went to help him find it himself. I was just having fun and insisted on following him. Mr. Qin
His death...we just found out."
Mr. Zhou looked at her face for a while and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Chu Yunli was dumbfounded, "You are an imperial envoy, honest and upright. You also helped my parents redress their injustice. You are not a tiger, leopard or wolf. What should I be afraid of you for?"
Mr. Zhou specifically asked others to ask Nie Munan, and came to ask her himself because he thought she was a timid girl. If Qin Shengyu's death was really related to their brother and sister, Nie Munan was a good businessman and knew how to speak. He didn't want anyone to
If you know something, you will definitely not tell it. On the contrary, this little girl may be afraid of saying the wrong thing in panic.
But from the moment he came in until now, her posture has been leisurely, without any fear at all, let alone panic.
There are two possibilities, either she doesn't know anything about it, or she is very good at acting.
Looking at her age, this should be the former.
The brother and sister went out of the city together. If they really killed someone, it makes no sense that Nie Munan could hide it so well... Therefore, they should really not know about Qin Shengyu's death.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou's face softened a little, "But many people are afraid of me." Seeing the girl's calm face, he was moved in his heart, "I heard that you are sixteen this year, have you made a marriage promise?"
Maybe he actually asked about her marriage. Chu Yunli was surprised and said shyly, "Yes. Yesterday, the matchmaker came to deliver Xiao Ding."
He also wanted to hire her as his daughter-in-law. Mr. Zhou was a little disappointed, but not too disappointed. This was just a thought in his mind. The wife at home would definitely not agree to the marriage. He stood up and said, "Go back, but don't leave Tongcheng recently."
, maybe I’ll find you brothers and sisters as well.”
The brother and sister left the government office together. After looking at each other, they got into the carriage without saying much.
"It should be okay for now." Nie Munan looked serious.
Chu Yunli deeply believed that if he suspected them, he might not be able to come out at this moment. He ordered, "The people over at Zhuangzi should still hide themselves."
Nie Munan sighed slightly, "I should have thrown her into the carriage at that time, how much trouble would have been saved?"
"Whatever brother does is right." Chu Yunli comforted him. If Nie Munan would feel uneasy if she killed Yan Yuxi, it would be better to lock her up.
Gradually, late autumn arrives, and once the few autumn rains fall, it feels like winter, too cold.
In previous years, Chu Yunli would not have gone out. But recently she found that Fang Shaoan had remembered the past trend and ran to the teahouse every two days. After all, they were already an unmarried couple, and there was nothing to be said for spending more time with outsiders.
Today she was sitting on the third floor drinking tea again. Fang Shaoan hadn't come yet, but as long as she was there and he was free, he would usually come up to accompany her.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and then Fang Shaoan pushed the door open and came in with a plate of snacks in his hand. When he saw her, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes and at the corners of his mouth, "I was looking at the account book and I just sorted it out."
After finishing speaking, he sat opposite her and placed the snack in front of her. "Try it. I asked the kitchen to make it fresh. Do you like it?"
Chu Yunli reached out and picked it up and put it in her mouth. The snack made from red beans was not sweet, but had a slight fragrance. She really liked the taste. She nodded immediately, "It's delicious." She looked up and saw the person opposite looking at her.
She was a little confused in her eyes.
Fang Shaoan whispered, "I feel like I have known you for a long time."
The two of them have indeed known each other for a long, long time.
There was a sudden noise outside, as if someone was just heading this way, and the waiter couldn't stop him.
Opening the door for business, it is really hard to offend some valuable customers. The waiter was also embarrassed. Fang Shaoan came to his senses when he heard the noise outside, stood up and said, "Let me take a look."
He stretched out his hand to open the door, and the troublemaker had already reached the door.
"I know, this is the room, right?" came the voice of a pampered young woman. When she saw Fang Shao'an at the door, she paused first, and then her voice became gentle, "Your man won't let me see you."
Chu Yunli: "..." His face changed so quickly!
This man is hers, why is he being targeted again?
