Anyway, Prince Duan didn't want anyone to pick him up, so Jiang Wu just had a good time and was ready to go back home.
On the other side, Ning Lu clasped his fists and asked for instructions: "Sir, are we going back too?"
Fu Heng nodded lightly - since the other party didn't want anyone to pick him up, this just made it clear that Prince Duan actually didn't want to participate in the disputes in the court. However, if he wanted to be a idle prince in the capital, he would
At this point in time, it was no longer up to him.
The two of them were about to go home when they heard a muffled sound beside the carriage, as if someone had hit the wall of the carriage. Ning Lu looked stern, and his first reaction was naturally that of an assassin. He unsheathed his sword and flew out.
After getting out of the carriage, there was only a sound of breaking through the air, and the long sword was already placed on the neck of the man on the ground.
But when he saw the situation in front of him clearly, Ning Lu was stunned.
——This is actually a girl.
The girl was all dirty, and she was carrying a taller man behind her. The man behind her had his eyes closed tightly, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Perhaps she was frightened by his sword, the girl shrank, her big eyes filled with tears.
Ning Lu did not put away his sword, but asked: "Who are you?"
The girl looked at him tremblingly. After looking at him for a long time, she suddenly started to kowtow and begged in tears: "My lord, I beg you, a daughter of the people, please save my brother!"
Ning Lu sneered and said, "I have seen this trick of yours eight times out of ten."
In the early years, inexplicable girls often came to him to ask for help, some sold their bodies to bury their fathers, and some were forced into prostitution. Anyway, there were all kinds of girls. If it was the first time, maybe he would feel compassion, but now, it has long been
I don’t believe it anymore.
"I would like to advise you, go back and tell your master that this method doesn't work anymore."
After all, the other party was a girl. Ning Lu wouldn't kill her in pain, but he couldn't spare any time to show any extra sympathy.
The girl didn't seem to understand what he meant, her eyes were still confused, but her big eyes were still full of tears. She cried and begged in a hoarse voice: "My lord, the civilian girl is really not a liar, my brother...
...My brother is sick, please, if you can save my brother, I...it will be worth it even if I give up my life."
Ning Lu then moved her eyes to the man she was carrying on her back. The man looked to be about the same age as her, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his face seemed a little green and black.
Ning Lu hesitated for a moment: "Put him down first."
This girl looked so weak, not to mention that if there was really a problem, he would be confident to resolve it with his skills.
The girl was stunned at first, and then she was ecstatic. She quickly put the person down on her back. Only then did Ning Lu notice that she made a knot with the hemp rope, passed it through the person's armpit, and then put it on her back.
On her back, because the man was heavier, her neck was strangled by the hemp rope.
Ning Lu stepped forward and felt the man's pulse.
It's already cold.
The girl looked at him hopefully and stammered: "Can my brother be saved?"
Ning Lu paused, hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "Already dead."
Then he immediately saw the tears in the girl's eyes finally falling.
"How could this happen... I thought there was still time, how could this happen..." The girl threw herself on her brother and cried loudly. However, at this moment, another voice came from behind Ning Lu, "What's wrong?
?”
When Ning Lu turned around, it was Jiang Wu standing there.
Jiang Wu was about to leave, but saw that Fu Heng's carriage had not moved, so he wanted to come over and ask Fu Heng if he had any other arrangements. However, as soon as he came over, he happened to see this scene. The man on the ground looked blue and black.
, obviously passed away.
When the girl looked up, she saw a pretty girl standing in front of her, and her tears suddenly burst into tears.
Jiang Wu stepped forward and asked the girl: "Is the deceased your brother?"
The girl nodded and choked: "Yes... he is sick. I wanted to take him to the capital to seek medicine, but as soon as I arrived at the gate of the city, people were already gone. Why is this happening? It took me a lot of effort to get there.
This step..."
Jiang Wu was a widower. Although she couldn't do an autopsy now, she could roughly deduce the time of death. She touched the neck, hands and feet of the deceased, and opened her eyelids to observe the pupils. It was basically determined that the death was natural.
Rather than murder.
The girl stared at her movements in confusion.
Jiang Wu hesitated for a moment and said: "However, your brother just went there not long ago. Judging from the time, he may have died not long ago."
The girl nodded, then stopped talking, and carried the knot made of hemp rope on her body again, as if she wanted to carry the body back. Unfortunately, before she could get up, she felt dizzy and fell headlong.
On the ground.
Jiang Wu just wanted to say something to ask her to slow down, but before she could say anything, the man had already fainted.
She glanced at Ning Lu: "Sir, what should I do with this girl?"
If we put people here, I'm afraid they may not be able to survive tomorrow.
Ning Lu crossed his arms and said, "Don't look at me yet. I can take this body back and bury it for her. This person cannot be sent to Beizhen Fusi before he understands his origins."
Jiang Wu knocked on the car window, and Fu Heng opened the curtain: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Wu said: "Sir, how should we deal with this girl?"
Fu Heng had not gotten off the carriage before, and he probably knew the development of the incident. Ning Lu was right. After all, Beizhen Fusi was an important place for the government. To put it bluntly, this girl's origins were unknown, but she couldn't just be so unclear.
Sent back to Beizhen Fusi.
The reason why Jiang Wu was accepted in the first place was because her background had been checked thoroughly, and she also knew how to do autopsies.
Fu Heng pondered for a moment: "Send her to the inn, Ning Lu, you watch her."
Jiang Wu then rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, Sir, I will keep an eye on Sir Ning. Anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon."
Although Ning Lu was a little reluctant, when he saw the deep blood marks on the girl's neck, he softened his tone and said, "I obey."
…
When Zhu Jinyi woke up, what he saw was a blue and white bed curtain. It was made of ordinary materials, but it was better than the shabby tent at home.
What's more, he was covered with a warm quilt.
She got up, feeling a little worried. Where was she? Where was her brother?
She was about to get out of bed when she saw that she had changed her clothes and even taken a bath! Who gave her a bath?!
"Zhiqua——" The girl wearing ginger clothes whom she had seen at the city gate opened the door, followed by a waiter with a low eyebrow. The waiter smiled and said to her: "The girl is awake. This is the noble man's gift."
