Chapter 56 056. Repentance is invalid (one more)
"What do you want to eat?"

"your hands."

The two spoke at the same time.

Su Liang raised his hands in front of his eyes, looked at the fingers cut by the strings, and smiled lightly, "It's just broken skin. I didn't go to Wu's house before, and I feel bad luck."

"I boiled the water." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang looked into the kitchen, the burning fire in the stove was jumping, and the warm breath wafted out.

As for Ning Jing, guessing that she was taken away by Wu Yun last night, she rushed to Wu's house, hid in the dark to make sure she was safe, secretly searched for evidence of the Wu family's father and son's crimes, rushed back again, and boiled water for washing in advance... This was done in one go. Su Liang deeply admired the operation.

Ning Jing went to add firewood, Su Liang leaned against the kitchen door and talked to him, waiting for the water to boil before going to take a bath.

"Is there a girl still alive in Wu Huaian's secret room?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing nodded slightly, "Yes."

Su Liang sighed, "After going through that kind of thing, after she was rescued, she didn't know what to face."

That girl is an innocent and tragic victim, and that kind of experience will cast a shadow on her for the rest of her life, and she will not be tolerated by the world.

"How did you find the bones in the back garden?" Su Liang was curious.

"Six willow trees of different sizes were planted side by side, and they were in order," said Ning Jing.

Su Liang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Willows have the meaning of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits in this world, and very few people keep them at home.

There were six missing girls in three years, and Wu Yun arrested a girl for Wu Huaian every six months.Wu Huai'an was tired of playing, so he caught new ones, and the ones in front were killed and buried under the willow tree in the back garden.

The reason why the corpses were not destroyed, Su Liang suspected that this was part of Wu Huaian's perverted behavior.Maybe he often went to water the willows and watched the willows "reminisce" those prey.

For every girl who dies, a willow tree is planted.

Between the earliest willows and the last willows planted, the height and thickness decrease with time.

Such details are extremely difficult for uninformed people to discover.

"No." Su Liang frowned, "Counting the one who didn't die in the secret room, there are seven. Mu Wei said, there are six cases of disappearance in total."

It's not that these six girls were the only ones who disappeared in Bei'an County in the past three years, but that these six disappearance cases were grouped together because of their similarities, making them a big unsolved case.

The common feature is that the missing girls are all "village flowers", fifteen or sixteen years old, unmarried virgins, disappearing at home in the middle of the night, without any signs of fighting, without any clues, one every six months.

Su Liang was thinking, maybe there was a family that lost a girl and didn't report it, or the county government didn't find out.

I heard Ning Jing say, "There are seven. The earliest one is not from Bei'an County, but should be Wu Huai'an's fiancée who was in the capital. After he was injured, the two families broke up the engagement, and that lady mysteriously disappeared."

Su Liang couldn't help but swear, "Pervert!"

Ning Jing went on to say, "Wu Huaian was the one who really advocated the termination of the engagement, but because he was injured, his fiancée agreed to terminate the contract and did not insist on marrying him. Later, it was rumored that she despised Wu Huaian as disabled and abandoned him."

Wu Huaian's fiancée didn't do what he wished, she insisted on marrying him as a widow without any regrets according to secular standards, so she was poured a basin of dirty water by him and other spectators, and became a heartless and ungrateful person. He was secretly arrested in Bei'an County, suffered a lot of torture, and died with hatred.

Just thinking about it is outrageous.

If it weren't for this scandal, it is conceivable that countless women will be victimized in the future.And the father and son were far away from the capital city, living at ease in Bei'an County, lawless.

Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, "Did you find the ledger?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "No."

"That thing may not be hidden in Wu's house." Su Liang said.

After the water was boiled, Ning Ding sent the hot water to Su Liang's room.

It wasn't like this in the past, but today it was because Su Liang's hand was injured.

Su Liang was taking a shower when someone knocked on the door.

Afterwards, the voices of Aunt Bai and Bai Xiaohu were heard.

"Is Liang girl at home? We went to the market and heard about a big event! The new county magistrate, Mrs. Mu, solved an unsolved case for several years, the one that lost many girls. Guess who did it?" Mrs. Bai With his eyes wide open, there was still a bit of the shock on his face when he learned about it.

Ning Jing shook his head calmly, "I don't know."

Su Liang in the room listened with ears perked up, and could imagine that Aunt Bai would slap her thigh next, and said in a high voice, "You guys would never have imagined it! It turned out to be..."

In the yard, Aunt Bai's appearance was exactly as Su Liang expected, and she even said exactly the same words, "You guys would never have imagined it! It turned out to be Old General Wu and his son! What a pig and a dog!"

"Brother Ning, do you know those two scoundrels?" Bai Xiaohu asked Ning Jing.

Ning Jing shook his head again, "I don't know."

Bai Xiaohu clenched his fists and said, "They must be ugly! They are all big bad guys!"

Ning Jing nodded slightly, "You are right."

"I heard that Mr. Mu is going to take the prisoner back to the county government office. Many people who went to the market have not returned home. They are waiting in the town to watch!" Aunt Bai said, "We wanted to see it too, but we don't know when we have to wait. I'm back."

Bai Xiaohu clenched his fists, "I heard someone say, I want to go home and get rotten eggs, and smash those two bad guys to death!"

Su Liang heard it in his ears, and suspected that Mu Di had spread the news on purpose, otherwise it wouldn't have spread so quickly.After all, things just happened, and the number of people who knew about them was limited.

No matter how much fame Wu Yun and Wu Huai'an gained in the past, now it will be doubled back on them, gaining more hatred and resentment.

Aunt Bai took her grandson away after sharing the news.Originally, there was something else she wanted to talk to Su Liang, but Ning Ping said that she was sleepy from reading and was sleeping right now.

After taking a shower, Su Liang changed into clean clothes, rubbed some medicine on her fingers, and felt refreshed. When she went out again, the sun was about to set.

At this time, Feiyan Town was crowded with people, all looking in one direction, watching two prison cars approaching slowly.

Among the crowd were relatives of the victimized girl, and even more indignant civilians threw rotten vegetables, leaves and rotten eggs that had been prepared long ago at the prison car to vent their anger.

With disheveled hair, Wu Yun shouted for grievances loudly, "I want to impose a crime! There is no reason to worry! Your Majesty! This minister was framed!"

Wu Huaian was awake with her eyes closed.

A rotten egg hit him on the head, and the liquid flowed down after it shattered. He opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were red, and he retched.

Ordinarily, with Wu Yun's status, the magistrate of Bei'an County couldn't control him.

The mine is nominally under the jurisdiction of the government, but the local government only provides basic security and manpower for mining, and the real guards are all soldiers directly sent by the imperial court.

Not to mention that now Wu Yun has not been tried, and he is directly put on the shackles and the prison car.

But people don't care about these, they just feel relieved.

Those who thought about it believed in the rumors even more, thinking that Mu Bian was an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court, not a small county magistrate.

Mu Di was sitting in the last carriage of the escort team, driven by his confidant Chang An.

"If it's not Ning Jing, who else could it be?" It wasn't the first time Mu Bian asked such a question.

Chang An frowned, "Also, there was a mysterious person secretly helping the master in the previous time when the death row prisoner escaped and killed someone. Could it be the same person who secretly assisted this time?"

Mu Di nodded, "It should be, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence."

"On the day when the incident happened last time, Ms. Su and Mr. Ning happened to go to the county seat. This time, Ms. Su was directly involved in it, but she was on the bright side, and the person who helped us find the evidence in the dark, the subordinate also felt that the most likely It's Young Master Ning." Chang An said, "But my subordinate sent Miss Su back, Young Master Ning is clearly at home, it seems that he has never left the house."

"What do you think of the relationship between Ning Jing and Su Liang?" Mu Bian asked.

Chang An thought for a while and said, "It seems that the relationship is very weak and not close, but it is extremely tacit."

"Will Ning Jing remain indifferent to Su Liang's disappearance?" Mu Bian asked again.

Chang An shook his head without thinking, "Of course not!"

Mu Peng leaned against the wall of the car, narrowing his eyes slightly, "That's it. It's such a coincidence twice, maybe it's not a coincidence at all. The mysterious person in the dark is Ning Jing."

"Mr. Ning looks like a scholar who doesn't know how to fight, although he doesn't look weak." Chang'an said, "Miss Su once fought with people in the street, but Mr. Ning never made a move."

"If he doesn't shoot, it may be because he doesn't know martial arts, or he may be hiding something deep." Mu Di said.

"If it's Mr. Ning, why should he hide it from the master? Wouldn't it be better to cooperate with the master? It's also good for him." Chang An was puzzled.

Mu Yan snorted, "Because whether it's him or Su Liang, they are just doing justice for the sky, and the purpose is never to help me. I want to cooperate, and they don't care."

Chang'an felt that his master had started to act strangely again, so he politely kept silent.

After a long time, Mu Wei suddenly said again, "It's best to bring down the Beijing Palace this time, so that Ning Jing can't use Xing Yusheng's brand, and then they will take the initiative to find me."

Chang'an: ...His master has always been very arrogant. This is the first time he wins over someone like this, but the other party doesn't appreciate it.

Chang'an once again asked whether to test peace.

Mu Bian still refused, "There is no need to test. It is him, no one else. But I don't understand, if he has such a great ability, how could he be kicked out by the Ning family? It's very strange."

After returning to the county government office, Mu Wei temporarily put aside his research on Su Liang and Ning Jing, and began to focus on the case of Wu Yun and Wu Huai'an.

He took down Wu's father and son by virtue of his status, but if he really wanted to deal with them, he had to ask the emperor for instructions.

And he plans to make this matter a big deal, and it's best for everyone to know about it, so as to draw out the people behind Wu Yun.

He did not forget the purpose of his trip. Solving the case of the missing girl was a windfall, which would benefit his reputation, but the iron ore smuggling case was the task that had to be completed.

Mu Biao wrote the memorial and sent someone to send it back to the capital quickly.

Wu Yun and Wu Huaian's father and son were apparently locked up in the county government's cell, but that was just "bait".

In the cell are two masters under Mu Bing pretending to be prisoners. He believes that someone will come to rob the prison next time, or kill people to silence them.

The real location of Wu Yun and Wu Huai'an is only known to Mu Bian and Chang'an.

……

For dinner, Su Liang made two dishes that Ning Ping likes to eat, and thanked him for his care.

The two were eating, Su Liang's hands suddenly stopped, "It's broken! I was arrested last night because you went to stare at Niu Pozi! Why did you forget her!"

Wu Yun would never have imagined that the real root cause of his ability to kidnap Su Liang, the "scourge", was Niu Niu.

It was yesterday that I met Niu Pozi on Ningjing Road, and found that there was a black mist between her brows, and guessed that she was trying to kill someone, so I went out to investigate at night, leaving Su Liang at home alone.

Just at the time when Ning Jing left, Wu Yun appeared and took Su Liang away, so the next thing happened.

There were so many things that happened in one day and one night, Su Liang really forgot about the old lady Niu, and now she finally remembered.It would be bad if the old lady Niu killed someone today and they failed to stop her.

Ning Jing looked calm, "She bought rat poison, and planned to take advantage of Liu Huilan's family to go to the market today, and put poison in her well."

The little widow Liu Huilan probably wouldn't go to the market. She was at home, and Mrs. Niu avoided people coming to the door. Due to her previous relationship, it was not difficult to get in.Once successful, Liu Huilan's family will die.The crazy old lady can do anything.

Seeing Ning Jing's expression, Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems you haven't forgotten. What did you do?"

"Slapped her." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Such an understatement?"

"She should be stupid." Ning Jing said.

Originally, it was not planned to settle the matter of Mrs. Niu peacefully.

But when Su Liang was suddenly taken away, Ning Jing didn't want to waste time, so when he went out to find Su Liang, he stopped by Niu Pozi's house, knocked her on the head with a stick, and took away the rat poison.

"That's good." Su Liang nodded, "It's been delayed for another day, and I have to practice martial arts tomorrow."

……

Before dawn the next day, Su Liang got up to run and practice.

After Ning Jing boiled the water, they each washed up, then Su Liang made breakfast, after the two of them finished eating, Ning Jing cleaned up the kitchen, Su Liang used the laundry time to digest food, and when the clothes were hung in the backyard, the sun had just risen.

According to the schedule, today is still practicing the whip.

It hasn't started yet, the knock on the door reminds me.

Su Liang opened the door, saw Chang An standing outside again, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

Chang An was very polite, "In the case of Wu Yun and Wu Huai'an, the master asked Miss Su to go to the county government office to record the testimony of witnesses."

"Is there a special paper for recording testimony in the county government?" Su Liang asked a strange question.

Chang An froze for a moment, then shook his head, "That's not true."

"Okay, wait a minute." Su Liang turned around and went back after saying that, not intending to invite Chang An in.

Chang An was a little inexplicable, so he waited outside.

About a quarter of an hour later, Su Liang came over with two pieces of paper and handed them to him, "My testimony."

Chang An took it over, the handwriting was not unfamiliar, he blurted out, "Written by Mr. Ning?"

Su Liang shook her head, "I wrote it."

Chang An was a little surprised that Su Liang had the same handwriting as Ning Ping. He briefly read it and found that the two sheets of paper were full, well-organized, and clearly explained the facts. Finally, Su Liang signed and pressed his finger prints.

In this way, Chang'an can no longer insist on letting Su Liang go to the county government.Mu Bian had told her before, don't offend her.

Chang An put away Su Liang's testimony, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I don't know if Miss Su has anything to eat at home?"

"There are buns." Su Liang said.

Chang An's eyes lit up, "Then..."

Su Liang snorted, "If I remember correctly, the last time your master came to eat, the 5000 taels of meal money hasn't been paid yet, so you won't forget, right?"

Chang An looked embarrassed, "Too busy these two days, I didn't take care of it."

Su Liang wrapped up the two buns left over from breakfast and gave them to Chang An, "A bun costs 100 taels, we will pay together next time."

Chang An was holding two steamed buns that were no bigger than his fist and were completely cold, he was a little speechless.

Mu Bian wanted to cooperate with Su Liang and Ning Jing, but Su Liang only wanted to blackmail him, so he was also drunk...

What Changan didn't know was that Su Liang closed the door and turned around, then smiled and said to Ning Jing, "The buns are gone, let's eat dumplings at noon."

Ning Jing was puzzled, "Dumpling? What is that?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Su Liang made a fool of herself.

……

Seeing Chang An coming back alone, Mu Bing frowned, "What about her?"

Chang An took out two buns from his bosom and handed them to Mu Peng, "Miss Su gave them."

Mu Kai opened it and sniffed it, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "It seems that we had a good cooperation yesterday, and it's rare that she took the initiative to invite me to eat. Now that I think about it, our cooperation was really tacit."

Chang An said weakly, "Miss Su said, a steamed stuffed bun costs 100 taels, and it will be settled together with the 5000 taels for meals last time."

Mu Bian's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! What does she want so much money for?"

Chang An blurted out, "Master Yang Ning!"

Mu Bing: ...

After handing the buns to the servant girl to heat up, Mu Bian asked about the business.

Chang An quickly gave him Su Liang's testimony, and he was taken aback when he saw the handwriting, "Did her handwriting imitate Tranquility?"

"Maybe their original handwriting is very similar." Chang An said.

Mu Bian shook his head, "They just met this year, how could their handwriting be so similar? She must have specially imitated Ning Jing's characters."

Chang'an sighed, "Miss Su really likes Mr. Ning, she even wants to learn his characters, and she must have put her heart into learning so similarly."

"What is she doing at home? Why doesn't she come?" Mu Bian asked.

"I don't know. Miss Su looked unwelcome, and the subordinate didn't come in. Maybe she wants to be alone with Mr. Ning, and doesn't want to be disturbed." Chang An said his speculation.

Mu Bian put down his testimony, "She wrote very clearly, that's enough, it doesn't matter if you don't come. I wrote another booklet and asked my father to send someone to take over Wu Yun's post and guard the mine. I proposed someone to my father select."

Chang An asked curiously, "Which old general is it?"

The two mines in Qianguo, one in the south and one in the north, have always been guarded by veterans. This is a hot potato that has a lot to do but has no future and achievements. It is not suitable for young generals.

A sneer appeared on Mu Yang's face, "Nian Jincheng."

Chang An was taken aback, "The Emperor thinks highly of General Nian, he has a bright future, he won't be sent to guard the mine, will he?"

"I told my father that the situation here is complicated, and I need someone capable of both civil and military skills to assist me in clearing Bei'an County." Mu Di said.

"If General Nian really comes, he won't stay for too long, and he may share the master's credit." Chang An said.

Mu Bian shook his head, "He is only here to take over Wu Yun's position in name. Although he was the champion of martial arts last year, he has no combat experience. Such a good opportunity to practice, if the prince and the emperor block it, it will be irrelevant."

Changan understands.Perhaps Mu Bian deliberately mentioned Nian Jincheng in the hope that the prince would stop him and annoy the emperor.

"When General Nian comes, he may not really help the master, but will do bad things instead." Chang'an was worried.

Mu Di smiled, "That's because you don't understand Nian Jincheng."

The Nian family was sent by the prince. After the accident happened to the Gu family, the Nian family planned to let Nian Ruxue enter the prince's mansion as a side concubine, but the matter fell through later.

Both the crown prince and the second prince are the direct sons of the empress. Duanmu Chen's biological mother is a highly favored concubine, and he and the two elder brothers have been fighting openly and secretly.This time, he invited himself to Bei'an County to investigate the iron ore smuggling case, and it was Duanmuchen who was doing his best for himself.

……

Su Liang made a dumpling and showed it to Ning Jing, "We eat these during the festivals."

Ning Jing followed Su Liang's example and made one. The stuffing was too much and it broke, so he tried again and learned quickly. Later, the wrapping was faster and more beautiful than Su Liang's.

"It can only be made like this?" Ning Jing asked Su Liang.

Su Liang shook her head, "There are different wrapping methods, I know, but I haven't tried it."

Ning Jing has always been willing to try new things. After Su Liang briefly described, he tried to wrap other shapes, as if he was making a work of art with a serious and focused look.

In the end, Su Liang still only knew how to make Yuanbao dumplings, while Ning Ping was "self-taught" and made all the shapes of dumplings that Su Liang knew...

The dumplings are put into the pot, and the fat and fat float up.

After Su Liang adjusted the dipping sauce, the dumplings came out of the pan.

The sun was shining at noon, and the two sat opposite each other at the stone table in the courtyard.

Two plates of dumplings and one cold dish.Ning Ping took out a small jar of wine from the room.

Su Liang took a sip, it was sweet and refreshing.

"Is this the kind of wine given to Nian Jincheng on the night of getting married?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing nodded, "Uncle Liang brewed it himself." It was also his first time drinking it.

The dumplings were delicious. At the end of the meal, Su Liang filled up the wine, lifted it up, looked at Ning Jing and said seriously, "Ask me about that again."

Ning Jing poured himself some wine, and said in a calm voice, "Su Liang, are you willing to stay and do things for me?"

Su Liang clinked glasses with Ning Jing, "Okay, I agree."

After the recent incidents, Su Liang clearly realized that there were too many shortcomings in her body, and at the same time, she admired Tranquility even more.

Before going to bed last night, she thought about it seriously. Anyway, she has nowhere to go. She has to hide herself when interacting with other people, but she doesn't have to hide herself in front of Tranquility.

Su Liang decided to follow Ning Jing from now on.

Although she didn't plan to leave before, she didn't agree to stay and work for Ning Jing, so she could leave at any time.

It is different to make a formal promise now.

Putting down the wine glass, Su Liang smiled lightly, "I hope you don't cheat me."

Ning Jing shook his head, "There is no guarantee."

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Can I go back on my word?"

Ning Jing shook his head again, "I believe in your character. Once you have made a promise, it is invalid to go back and forth."

Su Liang looked at Ning Jing, and suddenly had the feeling that she had sold herself on impulse...
