Chapter 132 Too Late

Has Miss ever been so curious about some gossip?I heard that the person who handles Jiangnan magistrate is King Ning, so I'm afraid that if Miss wants to go and see, it's a fake, but King Ning is the real one, right?

It's just that this matter is not because Qiu Shui doesn't want Liu Chanyi to go, Liu Chanyi won't go.

In the past, Liu Chanyi would probably be able to see Qiushui's emotions, but now, Liu Chanyi doesn't have the slightest intention.

She walked forward slowly, but what she was thinking about was not Gu Zhang, nor the prefect of Jiangnan, but what Wen Qing said, would it really be because of the prefect of Jiangnan that many people died?
Liu Chanyi stopped and looked up at the sky, feeling a little puzzled and puzzled, she still couldn't figure it out.

A icy coldness fell on Liu Chanyi's eyelids and melted into a drop of water. Liu Chanyi looked up at the sky, it was snowing.

"Miss, it's snowing, why don't you go back?" Qiu Shui became anxious when seeing the snow falling, fearing that Liu Chanyi's clothes would be soaked by the snow and catch a cold.

"No, you go buy an umbrella." Liu Chanyi shook her head, she didn't change her mind, but asked Qiu Shui to make preparations early, and go to the magistrate later.

Seeing Liu Chanyi's firm words, Qiu Shui knew that there was no way to change her mind, so she simply gave up and went to the side to buy an umbrella.

The oil-paper umbrella hit the top of the head, isolating most of the ice and snow, and occasionally some that were not covered would float onto Liu Chanyi's face, bringing a little bit of coolness.

The magistrate's residence is not far from here, just walk a few steps forward, and we will arrive. Liu Chanyi stopped, looking at the mansion in front of him, Liu Chanyi stopped, just like Xiao Yu said, surrounded tightly, Probably no one can escape from here.

There was a group of people gathered in front, including old people, children, and many young people who looked like scholars. Liu Chanyi walked a few steps over there, but she didn't want to get involved, but stood at a distance not far away. At a close distance, you can see and hear them talking.

"Officer Wen Gou will die in a bad way."

"Finally someone was able to arrest Officer Wengou."

"Now it's just saying that we want to investigate, and we haven't convicted the dog officer yet. Who knows if they are in the same group?"

A discordant voice appeared among a group of happy voices, and almost everyone looked at the person who spoke.

"How could it be? This, isn't this already being investigated? You can find out what Officer Wengou has done." Someone in the crowd said cautiously.

"But what if they are guarded by officials?" the man said again.

This time everyone was silent, they glanced at the magistrate, and finally dispersed.

Only that person and Liu Chanyi remained in place.

That person gave Liu Chanyi a strange look, and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Liu Chanyi looked at him and asked, "Why did you drive them away?"

If it was the beginning, Liu Chanyi would still feel that that person was talking about her own thoughts, but now that everyone has left, she realizes that he is driving others away, but she can't find anyone who does this reason.

The man was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect that someone would see through his thoughts, but soon he came back to his senses and said, "How do you know I want them to leave?"

"Guess."

Liu Chanyi was telling the truth, she didn't have mind reading skills, and she didn't know what other people were thinking, so she could only roughly guess what he was thinking.

"Judging from your tone, I seem to have guessed right." Liu Chanyi smiled like a winner, tilting her head to look at that person.

The man laughed twice, and then said: "You guessed it, you are very smart."

"I drove them away, just like the reason I said. Officer Wengou may not really be convicted. If he recovers, he will definitely liquidate these people around here. I don't want them For telling the truth, they lost their lives."

"You don't seem to be afraid of Governor Wen." Liu Chanyi still couldn't say the word Gouguan, but she didn't know the prefect's name, so she could only call him that.

As for the fact that he is not afraid of the prefect, when he mentioned the prefect just now, he was talking about the dog official just like those people. If he was really afraid, he would definitely not call him that.

"Of course I'm not afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of." When the man talked about Wen Gouguan, he was flat, without any flaws, and seemed to really feel nothing.

Liu Chanyi smiled, "Why are you so sure that people from Yundu will protect Governor Wen?"

This is the most puzzling point for Liu Chanyi, under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be someone who trusts the court?

"Because I'm not a native of Jiangnan." After receiving Liu Chanyi's suspicious gaze, the person explained again.

"There is also a corrupt official in my hometown. My family is not very rich, but it's not bad. My father is a scholar. I don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to manage my studies. That's why I have the opportunity to study in Jiangnan. Every month I I would receive letters from my father until one month, but I didn’t receive any, do you know what happened afterwards?”

The man turned his head and looked at Liu Chanyi. The extremely painful emotions in his eyes seemed to be able to infect Liu Chanyi. She wanted to say something, but in the end she could only say two words, "Congratulations."

"Everyone in my family died except for me. Later, Yundu sent someone here, and the person who came was a high-ranking official who enforced the law impartially. The corrupt official died, and the whole family was exiled, but it was too late, really, too late. gone."

He spoke the last few words very softly, so lightly that he couldn't tell whether he was talking or just a sigh.

Just now, Liu Chanyi was speechless, and now she is even more speechless. In these few short sentences, everything he has experienced in the first half of his life, any comfort seems to be special at this moment. pale.

Liu Chanyi felt confused, she thought of what Wen Qing said, it was too late, is that right?Are there many other people like this who have suffered the injustice of these fates in a corner that I can't see?

That person probably got to the point where he was sad, and he didn't intend to stay for a long time, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Liu Chanyi called out subconsciously.

But when the person turned around, Liu Chanyi was so nervous that she didn't know what to say. She finally said, "May I know your name?"

Liu Chanyi thought, even if she was rejected, it doesn't matter, after all, no one wants to be known about her tragic past.

But the man answered his own words.

He said, "My name is Zeng Jin."
