Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 324 Traveling to visit friends, mass graves!

Which pot does not open which pot.

When Jin Xu heard this, her face turned green, "Cui Liting, did you do it on purpose?"

"You discovered all of this?"

Cui Yi couldn't help laughing, and took two more mouthfuls of hibiscus fish in front of him, eating with relish.

Jin Xu rolled his eyes at him sullenly, turned his head away, out of sight and out of mind.

"And you two."

Cui Yi swept towards Yan Yun and Su Rao, and tapped on the table with his knuckles: "Eat well when you eat, and put other things aside for now, it won't be a while."

"My brother taught me that."

Su Rao swallowed back the words that came to her lips, and Yan Yun looked at each other, put aside all doubts in her stomach, and concentrate on eating.

With their participation, the atmosphere at the dinner table returned to normal.

A few people were chatting casually, halfway through the meal, Jin Xu was picky about the rice grains in the bowl, and said, "What do you think my old man thinks, the older he is, the more absurd he is."

Yan Yun said calmly, "What?"

Cui Yi also stopped his chopsticks, smiled at him and asked, "Is it possible that your old man is planning to marry you off if he can't wait for his granddaughter-in-law to come in?"

"roll!"

Jin Xu rolled his eyes at him, and said melancholy: "He didn't know why he was crazy, and suddenly he took that kid out to visit friends without saying a word. When I returned to the mansion, I found that there was no one in the mansion. The housekeeper told me."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Cui Yi didn't understand what he was thinking, "You said you didn't like that brat, because you thought he was crying and noisy, so why would you be unhappy again?"

"Okay, I get it now."

Cui Yi stared at him with a smile, "You think the old man left you with Yuanbao, you are jealous! Don't you!"

Jin Xu: "... Am I that boring?"

"You have."

Cui Yi smiled back, Jin Xu looked at Yan Yun unconvinced, "Ah Yun, tell me."

Yan Yun raised his eyebrows lightly and didn't say a word.

But that look speaks louder than any words.

Seeing Jin Xu looking at her, Su Rao hurriedly raised her hands in surrender: "I won't, I don't understand, I don't know."

"you……"

Jin Xu pointed around angrily, feeling ashamed, angry and helpless, what kind of bad friends did he make?jealous?Will he eat that brat's vinegar?
"I'm just afraid that his old bones won't be able to bear the hardships of driving and horses."

He flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, and argued.

"Yes, yes, you are right."

Cui Yi echoed perfunctorily, and he and Su Rao looked at each other, determined not to puncture Mr. Jin's proud self-esteem, but to save some face for him.

Jin Xu snorted, "It was."

The two glanced at each other, Su Rao watched the scene with a smile, then glanced at Yan Yun indistinctly, lowered her eyes to eat, and said no more.

There was no one in the house, so Jin Xu didn't want to go back. After dinner, Cui Yi gave Yan Yun the needles, and then took him to Jingpo Lake for the night.

When there was no one around, Yan Yun looked up at her, "What do you want to ask?"

"The old man's trip is related to you?"

Su Rao remembered that he had ordered people to go to the golden house two days ago, so she asked this question.

Yan Yun nodded calmly, "Yes."

After he finished answering for a while, before waiting for the next sentence, he raised his eyes to look at Su Rao: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

"No."

Su Rao asked about this because she wanted to confirm the guess in her heart, and she didn't want to get to the bottom of it when she got the answer. Since the son of the world ordered Mr. Jin to leave this place, then the arrangements will be made properly later.

Seeing how quickly she refused, Yan Yun couldn't help chuckling, and calmly changed the subject: "You said earlier that there was something strange about the deaths of Jing and the coachman. What's going on?"

"Is such that……"

Back to the topic, Su Rao talked to him about the whole story of the questioning with Qi Xiang, her voice was light, and she gathered in the warmth of the room, dispelling the cold of early winter.

Qi Xiang was locked in the wing next to Cui Yi.

The shadow thorn supervises day and night, never leaving.

The next day, a piece of news quietly spread in Hanyang City.

"Mu Qixiang of Yunzhou killed people and committed suicide in fear of crime!"

In the tea house and wine shop, the common people talked a lot, "It is said that a monk died, and by the way, there was also a coachman, and he silenced him for some reason."

"I know this!"

A person approached mysteriously, "My brother-in-law's elder brother is on duty in the city guard, from what he said, it seems that the little monk came to the government office to find the prefect, and said he wanted to expose some absconded murderer named Cheng! It has something to do with the flood in the fourth year of Qianding!

"Cheng... Flood..."

"Could he be talking about the time when the Ninglanxia Dam burst? I remember that the one who embezzled the court's public funds for river repairs was the Outer Capital Shuicheng. What is his name...Cheng..."

"Cheng Nan!"

One person spoke excitedly, and the man who spoke patted the table and said, "That's right, it's Cheng Nan, he came to report him, why would he kill someone when he's so good at it?"

"It's not enough to kill the monk, but also killed the coachman. Isn't this a clear way to silence? What shameful thing did this state shepherd do?"

Everyone clicked their tongues, chatting while eating melon seeds.

"I have a gossip here."

The words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone gathered around him, "What news, tell me quickly."

The man had done enough, cleared his throat, looked around, leaned down and whispered: "The Cheng family's corruption is probably wronged."

"Impossible? That's a case supervised by the imperial court."

Everyone's first reaction was to question, the man glared, and said anxiously: "Why not, when the Cheng family was searched back then, no money was confiscated at all. Think about it, such a large amount of money from the Xiuhe public funds was just randomly placed on it. If you touch it, it will be enough for the Cheng family to live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing."

"But I heard that when Mr. Cheng was imprisoned, don't talk about brocade and silk shirts. Even the shoes he wore were badly worn and soaked in a lot of water..."

"How do you know these things?"

"There are people above me who know what these are?"

The man continued: "It is said that Qi Xiang, like He Gongze, was the presiding judge of the Cheng family case back then. If the Cheng family was really wronged, then the two of them..."

"So it is!"

Everyone speculated about Qi Xiang's intention for this move, and soon someone linked the imperial envoy's inspection with Qi Xiang's concealment of the murder, saying that he was afraid of uncovering the old case and repeating He Gongze's mistakes.

It is also said that his action has nothing to do with the old case, because he, like He Gongze, raised male pets in the temple, and he killed people to silence him because he was afraid of being exposed.

Opinions vary and intensify.

All the eyes of the city were focused on the post house where the imperial envoy stayed. In the evening of that day, a group of people dragged two rolls of straw mats and came out from the back door of the post house.

"My lord, where are we going to bury them?"

one person asked.

"Eastern suburb, closer to here."

Yinxuewei, who was the leader, shouted in a low voice: "You should be quicker in your hands and feet. After we finish dealing with these two, we will send the bodies of Master Mingjing and Master Huizhi back to the ancient Buddhist temple!"

"Yes!"

After all, they took advantage of the night to go out from Donghua Gate, and went straight to the nearest barren hill on the outskirts of the city. This place is a mass grave, and there are tombs everywhere...
