"Abbott, does this hall have a back door?"
As soon as Su Rui said these words, Jiachu's eyes widened a lot:
The man named Su brought him here and actually wanted to abandon him?
If the man surnamed Su left, just looking at the hatred in the eyes of Hua Yi and the Na Ning family towards him, he would definitely tell the truth here today.
"Master Su, what is the crime for murdering a member of the royal family?"
Before Su Rui could leave, Jiachu stood up holding on to the door frame.
He glanced at the sword a step away, and finally reluctantly gave up, deciding to get through the immediate crisis first.
When Suri heard this question, she knew she couldn't leave.
"The murder of a member of the royal family, according to the severity of the crime, can range from annihilation of three clans to the death of a life and the exile of the whole family, but the matter of An Hou should have nothing to do with Mr. Ning, because Mr. Ning was not with Miss Ning before and after An Hou's disappearance. , just because I, Magistrate Jiang and others are busy with court matters, there is absolutely no chance to attack An Hou."
Facing Su Rui's unconditional guarantee, Ning Wuhuang cast a grateful look, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
He betrayed Governor Su's trust, but it wasn't his fault.
The only blame is that Zhou An wanted him dead. Anyone who kills will always be killed.
Jia Chu never thought that Su Rui would convict Ning Wuhuang on the spot. All he wanted was for Su Rui to explain the law.
"Although Ning Wuyang has nothing to do with the disappearance of the young Marquis, the young Marquis is a descendant of the royal family, and Ning Wuyang is just a commoner. The words written in the little Marquis' family letter are by no means groundless. If you don't want me to take Ning Wuyang away, you can do it. , but Mr. Su must agree to me a condition."
Faced with Jiachu, who was resorting to second best and suddenly being reasonable, Su Rui remained silent and did not refuse, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Ning Wuyan felt that the guard Jiachu was really interesting, and he was quite good at manipulating others.
Knowing that Su Rui valued Daxing's laws and regulations and was loyal to the old emperor, the conditions proposed by Jiachu should also be in this regard.
Before Jiachu could say anything, Ning Wuhuang already had a rough guess.
"I hope Lord Su can keep Ning Wuyang under guard. When I find Anhou's body and find out who killed him, I can ask you to make a decision whether to escort Ning Wuyang to Beijing to be tortured or to release him without charge."
Facing such a privileged existence as a child of the royal family.
But we don't pay attention to the suspicion of guilt.
This method of restricting freedom if you can't take people away, although it puts the initiative in Suri's hands, it also puts the responsibility in Suri's hands.
As the governor of Jiangnan Province, Su Rui, no matter how high his hopes for Ning Wuyou were, he could ignore the imperial power and laws and walk away.
But he really couldn't do it if he was asked to supervise Ning Wuhao.
"Lord Governor, isn't this the guard of the Jin Palace saying this because he is afraid that I will run away after being found out because I killed An Hou?"
Ning Wuyang agreed nonchalantly.
"Since he has doubts, I will accept the supervision of the government and either wait for the Jin Palace to convict me or wait for the day when my innocence is revealed. In the following days, I will be active in and around Jinling City, as if I stepped out of Jinling City. One step, you don’t need to take action, Sir, I will go to Beijing to plead guilty."
Regarding Zhou An's matter, the most appropriate thing is that everyone tacitly understands that big things should be reduced to trivial matters.
If today, because of Jia Chuyi's recklessness, they fight back and the Jin Palace gets a handle on them, it will be more of a loss than a gain.
Therefore, Ning Wuhuang took a step back.
And taking this step back is not for the sake of a brighter future, but for the sake of taking a bigger step forward.
"Mr. Ning understands justice well. Unlike some people, if he can speak well at the beginning, he will not be knocked to the ground."
Suri is not connotation, he is explicit.
In his opinion, even if Zhou An is really the mastermind behind the killer gang, whether he is dead or alive has nothing to do with Ning Wuyan.
Zhou An's letter home was written entirely out of jealousy over Ning Wuhuang.
Hua Yi was not curious about the cause of Zhou An's death. He only cared about one question: "Ning Shixian, are you sure you want to let this kid go and not argue with him?"
In his impression, although Zhou An has a domineering personality, he is not a fool.
A fool would not stand out among dozens of royal grandsons and become the only royal grandson whose son was a prince.
Therefore, in Zhou An's family letter, he wrote down the last words related to Ning Wuchang. It must be that there is no smoke without fire, and there will be consequences only if there is a cause.
"It's not that I don't care about him, I just want to clear my name. I hope you can go back early and find Anhou's whereabouts early, so that I can be freed early."
Ning Wuyang smiled slightly at Jiachu.
Others just think it is magnanimous and tolerant.
But Jiachu saw provocation in Ning Wuyan's eyes.
Could it be that the body of the young Marquis has been destroyed by Ning Wuyan?
When Jia first thought about this key point, he saw Hua Yi and Ning Wuyi standing on the left and right, guarding Ning Wuyi like two guardians.
Even though he was not convinced, he still wanted to take advantage of the situation and take Ning Wuhao away, but he understood in his heart.
He couldn't take Ning Wusheng away today.
At this time, he could only bite the bullet, turn around and leave.
"Hey! You don't have your sword!"
Ning Wuyang shouted loudly from behind.
Jiachu was so angry that he almost broke his back molar.
Of course he knew that he had not taken the sword, and was afraid that the sword that the prince had given him would be destroyed by Ning Wuyan in venting his anger.
But he was more worried.
If he was really greedy for the sword and pulled it out of the door frame, would the man holding the spear claim that he had other motives and stab him through with another shot?
When the two first met, he still had the confidence to dodge with his sword drawn, but now...
Jiachu held his chest that was hit by Hua Yi, pulled open his clothes and glanced at the red handprints that appeared on his skin, swallowed a mouthful of blood, looked back at the two people who had not caught up, and quickened his pace towards the bottom of the mountain.
Ning Wuyang stood on tiptoe and watched Jia Chu go away. He didn't look away until the other person came down the stone steps. He breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Hua Yi with clasped fists.
"Thank you, Master Hua, for coming to the rescue just now."
"Hmph, how can I save you? If your third brother hadn't come here, I'm afraid your left arm would be useless."
Hua Yi thought about Ning Wuhuang's cleverness in ducking out and almost falling into Jiachu's trap, and an evil fire surged in his heart.
The more I look at Ning Wuchang's submissive behavior, the more unpleasant it becomes.
It was only reasonable to think that Ning Wuyan was not very skilled and could not straighten his back to speak in front of an ordinary master like Jiachu, but he still felt aggrieved.
"Ning Wuyi, get up early tomorrow, and you can practice Tai Chi with me."
After Hua Yi finished speaking, he walked away angrily.
Ning Wuyang was afraid that Hua Yi would catch up with the injured Jiachu again, so he accidentally took advantage of the barren mountains and ridges to kill him again, so he hurriedly chased after him.
"Master Hua, wait for me... Master Su, let's go first. Third brother, don't pull out that sword. Follow me down the mountain."
The left and right guardians are indispensable.
If you encounter Jiachu and kill him without knowing whether to live or die, then one person will protect him, and the other will kill Jiachu and throw him into the mountains to feed the tigers and wolves.
…
In the middle of the night, King Jin, who was thinking about his past, and King Kang, who was still recovering from his injuries on the couch, were both carried into the palace on sedan chairs to discuss matters.
Walking on the corridor in the palace, King Jin smelled the smell of burning paper. He frowned in disgust and muttered: "My father still specially approved the palace maids and eunuchs this year to let them go to the palace on the Ghost Festival." , paying homage to relatives near Leng Palace?"
Su Peiyuan nodded with a smile, and bowed his hands in the direction of the royal study room where the Holy Master was with a grateful face.
"Returning to Prince Jin, this unwritten rule has continued since His Majesty ascended the throne. You should get used to it."
Once slaves like them entered the palace, many of them would never leave the palace for the rest of their lives.
If His Majesty hadn't ignored the bad luck and pardoned them to burn paper for their relatives at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they might not even be able to fulfill the only filial piety that living people can perform.
"Mr. Su, habits are habits and rules are rules. Look at all the paper dust floating in the corridor this year. I don't know how Concubine Jing manages the internal affairs of the palace."
King Jin taunted him.
King Kang listened with his left ear and listened with his right ear. He did not want to show off his rhetoric. He was entirely focused on the fact that his father summoned them to the palace in the middle of the night.
He had been a prince for forty years, and this was the first time he was summoned to the palace in the middle of the night. There had been few such precedents before.
Something big must be happening!
