Chapter 47 047. Are you not going?
【Aren't you going? 】

The cool wind is bleak and the rain is continuous.

Mu Bing stood by the window with his hands behind his back, his face was more gloomy than the sky.

Yesterday he asked Chang'an to send Su Liang 5000 taels of silver, and the "return gift" he got was a piece of fresh pork.I ordered my servants to cook it and eat it, but I thought it tasted ordinary.It's not about the meat, the chef's skills are not good enough.

Therefore, last night Mu Yan told Chang An that he planned to go to Sujia Village today to see how good Feng Shui is, which made Ning Jing and Su Liang reluctant to leave.The point is, he went, and for the sake of 5000 taels, Su Liang would always keep a meal.

It's just that he didn't expect that something serious happened in the county government's cell.

On the face of it, Mu Diming was the county magistrate, secretly investigating iron ore smuggling. The latter had a major clue recently, and someone was in a hurry.

The walls of the cell were artificially collapsed, and the escaped death row prisoners were assisted.

What Su Liang said to Hu Er, the fact that Su Xingzhe was too weak to run out, let alone go far, was not a problem.

Originally, even if the wall collapsed, the prisoners bound by iron chains would not be able to get out.

But the fact is that no matter whether the death row prisoners want to go out or not, someone will "help" them.

And the most troublesome thing is, what will the people behind the scenes do to "help" those prisoners...

Chang An hurried in to report, "Master, another family in the south of the city reported the crime. Before dawn, someone climbed over the wall and robbed money and killed two people."

The coldness in Mu Wei's eyes grew even stronger, "Has the reward order been issued?"

Chang An nodded, "According to the master's instructions, those who provide clues to assist in the arrest will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver. If they directly catch a death row prisoner and send them back, they will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!"

In Bei'an County, this is definitely a rare reward.

Mu Bian shook his head, not optimistic about it.

During the day, the rain was not heavy, but in Bei'an County and the surrounding villages and towns that received the news, every household closed their doors tightly, and most of the shops on the street were closed.

No one went out, and very few people saw the reward orders posted.

The officers and soldiers divided into several groups, went door to door to investigate, and at the same time verbally informed them of the huge reward.

But after half a day, those death row inmates who had been severely tortured in the prison and were so weak that they could not run far were not found at all.

In the county seat, from last night to noon today, there were five murders, all of which were robbery and murder, in five different places.

The number is the same as the number of death row prisoners who escaped.

People who don't know the inside story will inevitably be dissatisfied with the newly appointed county magistrate when they encounter this incident.

Regarding this, what Mu Bian was worried about was not what the common people thought, but that innocent people died, and his political opponents, such as the second prince, would inevitably make a fuss about it in the future.

If he tried his best to solve the iron ore smuggling case in the end, but because he couldn't even be a county magistrate, causing heavy casualties to the people under his rule and being criticized by others, he would be stunned to death.

……

On a rainy day when the whole city was under martial law, Su Liang and Ning Jing's carriage appeared at the gate of the city, which was a bit abrupt.

He ordered the carriage to stop, and the officers and soldiers who came forward to interrogate him approached and saw Ning Jing's face clearly, they were stunned, "But Mr. Ning?"

As the head of the court examination this year, he has an extraordinary appearance and temperament, and he walked around the county a few days ago. Many people know what Ning Jing looks like.

Ning Jing raised the rain hat a little and asked what happened.

The officers and soldiers knew that he had a big background and did not dare to offend him, so they talked about the death row prisoner's escape and the murder.

"Try not to walk around outside. If you have any clues, please notify the county government!"

Ning Jing nodded, pressed down his bamboo hat again, and continued to drive the carriage forward.

He and Su Liang left Sujia Village and came to the county after hearing about it from Hu Er.

It was raining, it was inconvenient to walk or ride a horse, and he disappeared from the village suddenly, which would easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he drove the carriage into the city.

"Five death row prisoners, five robberies and murders, and the criminals all escaped successfully, it must have been planned by someone. Among other things, just Su Xingzhe, how could he have the ability to do this?" Su Liang's voice came from the carriage.

She thought that it might not be the death row prisoners who really caused the murders and panic.They are just used as a tool and a cover.

He met the officers and soldiers who were peacefully entering the city, and reported the matter to Chang'an, and Chang'an mentioned it when he saw Mu Wei again.

Mu Bing stared, "I was looking for him!"

"Subordinates, invite Mr. Ning to come over!" Chang An said.

"If Su Liang is with him, call him over too." Mu Bian ordered.

……

Ning Jing and Su Liang arrived at their home in the county seat and were planning what to do next when they heard a knock on the door.

"Master Ning, my master is here to invite you!" Chang'an cut to the chase, seeing Su Liang appearing in the corridor, he said loudly, "Master invites Miss Su to come too!"

Su Liang is a little strange.Even if Mu Biao wasn't overwhelmed, he wouldn't have the time to talk to them about things that were not in a hurry.

The two followed Chang'an to the county government office, and Mu Bian lived in the back house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw seven or eight ordinary people knelt in the rain, their faces were blurred, and the tears and rain could not be distinguished.

The sound of rain is intertwined with cries and pleadings, which makes people feel sad.

Chang An was also a little dazed, not knowing what was going on with these people, he hurriedly led Ning Jing and Su Liang to go around.

The door was open, and Mu Di was sitting in the shadows, holding a piece of letter paper half-wet by the rain in his hand, his face was gloomy, like ink that had been smeared on the paper.

"Master, Mr. Ning and Miss Su are here." Chang'an said respectfully.

Mu Bian looked over, put down the letter paper in his hand, and waved his hand to signal Chang An to go out.

Changan went outside, closed the doors and windows, frowned at the kneeling people in the courtyard, called a guard to the corner, and asked in a low voice.

"As soon as you left, they came. They are the family members of the top three scholars in this academic examination."

"Those three scholars set off to Qianshan Academy in the provincial capital yesterday, and they were all arrested!"

"The three of them received a letter from the kidnappers. It was written by those three scholars, with bloody fingerprints on it."

Hearing this, Chang An frowned fiercely, "What did you say in the letter?"

The guard's face was ugly, "I told you to use the master's head in exchange for the lives of the three scholars."

In the room, Mu Wei showed the letter to Su Liang and Ning Jing, and asked them what they thought.

"The three scholars who set out yesterday, no matter how slow they walked, the death row prisoners who escaped last night would not be able to catch up. Not to mention that they first committed a murder in the city, then went out of the city to arrest people, and then delivered the letter to the three families early in the morning." Su Liang said, "Someone planned this. Master Mu didn't ask us for help, did he?"

Mu Bing nodded, "Yes."

Su Liang was puzzled, but Mu Wei looked at Ning Jing, "Let me ask you again, you got Xing Yusheng's brand, is it really just that he happened to be in Bei'an County, and you two met by chance?"

It was Su Liang who answered, "Actually, that brand is for me."

Mu Bing frowned, "What do you mean? Make it clear."

"Xing Shizi is seriously ill and is recuperating in Qiuming Mountain Villa. We only met because of the relationship between the former county magistrate's daughter Huang Wan'er. I treated him, and the sign was a thank you gift." Su Liang said.

It's not to get rid of the relationship with Xing Yusheng, it's just like that.

Mu Bian knew about Huang Wan'er because he asked Chang'an to investigate Xing Yusheng's activities in Bei'an County.It was after Su Liang went to the county government to sue Huang Wan'er that they had contact with Qiuming Villa.

It can match up with Su Liang's words.

Otherwise, if Ning Jing had long been a member of the Beijing Palace, he wouldn't have signed up half a month before the exam.

"I thought Ning Jing was Xing Yusheng's friend, but it turned out that it was you." Mu Bing rubbed his forehead, "You are so kind to Ning Jing."

Su Liang guessed the purpose of Mu Bian looking for them, and the iron ore smuggling case may have something to do with King Beijing.And the disturbances in Bei'an County from last night to now must be related to the smuggling case that Mu Yang wants to investigate.

Mu Bianruo suspected that Ning Jing had a good relationship with the Beijing Palace, so he came here and asked Su Liang to come too, because he definitely wanted to have a good "talk".

But Su Liang didn't ask.But Ning Jing would not speak if he could not speak.

After learning about the whole story of their relationship with Xing Yusheng, Mu Biao did not explain why he was looking for them.

"Do you have a solution to the current matter?" Mu Bian asked.

Ning Jing stood up, "No, goodbye."

Su Liang came to his senses and got up quickly, "Lord Mu, we can't help you, so don't bother me." After saying that, he chased after Ning Jing and left.

Mu Bing's face was dark, and he watched the two leave under umbrellas, with a look of "don't look for them if you have nothing to do, it's better not to look for them if you have something to do, if you don't have time".

Chang An came in, "Master, what should we do about the three scholars?"

It would be really troublesome if all the top three in the Bei'an County Court Examination were killed.

Mu Peng said coldly, "I have already sent people to bring in troops, but I'm afraid it will be too late."

The people behind the scenes knew Mu Wei's identity, so it was impossible for him to exchange his life for three scholars.Even if those three scholars are still alive, they won't live long.

After coming to Bei'an County, the secret investigation has not been hindered too much.

Mu Bian only found out today that he hadn't found anything before, and the people behind the scenes were watching.

As soon as he found an important clue, something happened right away.

Whether it is related to King Jingjing is temporarily unconfirmed.Mu Bian hoped that Ning Jing was recruited by the King of Beijing, so that he could get something useful by instigating Ning Ning.

The family members of the three scholars were still crying and begging Mu Di to save them, and a woman fainted.

Mu Bian asked Chang'an to find a place to house them. Looking at the black clouds gathering in the sky, he finally realized the difficulty of this errand.

……

Ning Jing came here by car, walked out of the county office, got into the car and asked Su Liang to drive.

The carriage left slowly, Su Liang asked in a low voice, "What should I do?"

They are here to catch death row prisoners, but they can't cooperate with Mu Biao openly, because some secrets can't be exposed to Mu Biao.

"Find a hidden place." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang understood, drove the carriage and turned into the nearest alley, waited for her to speak again, but there was no answer, opened the curtain of the car, and Ning Jing had disappeared.

Su Liang didn't look for him either, knowing that he must have discovered something, or thought of a way.

She drove the car through the alley alone, returned to her home in the county seat, closed the door, and waited for Ning Ning to return.

After about an hour and a half, Tranquility came back.

He took off the coir raincoat he found somewhere and threw it into the backyard.

Su Liang handed over a cup of hot tea, but before she could ask anything, she heard a knock on the door again.

Or Chang'an.Seeing Su Liang quickly opened the door, he looked behind her again and saw Ning Jing sitting by the window drinking tea.

"Master Mu has a new order?" Su Liang asked.

Chang An quickly looked back, cupped his hands and said, "Half an hour ago, those three scholars were found! It was the head arrester who was bribed. Yesterday he sent the three scholars out of the city on behalf of the county government, and put drugs in their food. Dazed secretly brought it back and hid it in his own home."

Su Liang was surprised, "How did you find it?"

"The head catcher suddenly said that he had a stomachache and wanted to go home, but his neck was broken at the door of the house! We rushed over immediately after receiving the news. We didn't find the murderer in his house, but we found three scholars and many people of unknown origin. Property." Changan looked rejoicing, "Master said that the head arrester was returning home halfway, and he was probably planning to kill the three scholars and destroy the corpses."

"It's too dangerous, I don't know which hero made the move in time." Su Liang sighed.

She knew in her heart that Chang'an would appear suddenly, and it must be that Mu Peng suspected that the two of them had something to do with the arrest and killing of the head.

"Yes." Chang An nodded.

"Iron ore smuggling has huge profits, and the money touches people's hearts. The captor may not be the only one who was bought." Su Liang thought about it, and reminded Chang An, "The jailer who was working in the cell but was not killed last night, you might as well check it out."

Chang'an's expression was shocked, "There are two injured who survived... Farewell!"

Seeing Chang An riding his horse and leaving in a hurry, Su Liang closed the door and went back to his room.

She didn't need to ask, she knew that Ning Jing must have guessed that someone from the county government had been bribed and participated in it, and at this time, those "ghosts" would inevitably kill people.

And Ning Jing can use his special ability to find the perpetrator.

Fortunately, those three scholars are still alive.Before Ning Jing started to kill, he must have confirmed their location, and even the sudden return of the headhunter was caused by what Ning Jing did secretly.

"Didn't you say that you can fight and let me go? You can solve it yourself." Su Liang sat down.

Ning Jing closed the book, "He confessed one person."

"Who? I'll go catch it." Su Liang felt that he had come to work.

Ning Jing's thin lips parted slightly, "Me."

Su Liang: ...

"The purpose of planting you is to make Mu Bian think that the man behind the scenes is the Beijing Palace?" Su Liang thought quickly.

Ning Jing nodded, "The fifth house in Yumin Lane in the west of the city, there are two old locust trees at the door. Let's go."

"Is it the person behind the head catcher?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing nodded, "Be careful."

Su Liang looked upright, "Okay, I'll go and see the situation. Are you going?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "I'm tired."

Su Liang went back to the room silently, changed into men's clothing that he hadn't worn, covered his face with a cloth scarf, put on a bamboo hat, opened the back door, and walked out quickly after making sure that no one was around.

After a while, Ning Ping went out again, heading west.
