Dayong Nu sentenced to death

The door boy bowed, and he recognized Su Rao as the one who sent their young master back two days ago, so he didn't dare to delay, and turned around to pass on the message.

After a stick of incense, the doorman came out.

"Sir, please."

He turned sideways to clear the way, Su Rao and Xun Zeli looked at each other, and walked into Xie's mansion.

After walking a few steps, you will see inkstone washers shuttle back and forth in various courtyards.

Judging by the posture, it seems that they are searching.

It was a little less noisy than the house raiding.

Su Rao restrained her eyes and followed her to the backyard without stopping. The place where Xie Yin lives is called Ziyingtang. The small courtyard that was quiet when she came last time is now full of people.

Xiyanwei stood guard outside instead of his servants.

Seeing Su Rao and the others, they let them go straight away. In the courtyard, Nan Jinse's pretty face was livid, holding back her anger and standing by the colonnade, and Xie Jiong was standing not far away, with a gloomy, peaceful and indifferent expression.

No emotion can be seen on the face that has not faded.

At this time, someone came out of the house, wearing a neatly stretched eagle suit, with a knife on his waist, wearing an iron mask with a beast head, and his eyes fell on it.

Seeing Su Rao, he nodded and said indifferently: "Lord Su is here."

"Master Shadow."

Su Rao made a bow, and everyone behind him saluted.

The man looked at Xun Zeli and the others proudly, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse: "Is the Ministry of Punishment here for the assassination case?"

"Yes."

"Shouldn't this be a matter of Wucheng Bingmasi and Jingzhao Mansion? Why did you work hard for Master Shangshu?"

There was a slight coldness in his words.

Su Rao said plainly: "The place where the incident happened is within the scope of the capital. As a prisoner and I am in charge of the Jingzhao Mansion, I naturally have to intervene."

"It coincides with the tense situation between our court and Dayan, and the general who was ordered to go to the border happened to have an accident. It is hard to guarantee that there are not some unclean things hidden in Shengjing. We must find them out."

After the words fell, she quietly met the shadow with her eyes, and said softly: "How about you, my lord?"

Xun Zeli and the others gasped.

Washing the inkstone has always been done by explaining to His Majesty, if she asks such a question and offends the commander, it will be dangerous.

Shadow stared at her for a moment, then unexpectedly replied: "Coincidentally, I was also worried about this, so I came to help General Xie stabilize the house and eliminate danger."

"My lord's consideration is that if there is an inkstone washer to make a move, those young people will not dare to act rashly again."

Su Rao said a word of flattery casually, but she didn't move anymore.

Shadow waited for a long time without moving, and said in surprise, "Master Su wants to ask questions? I'm not going yet."

"Wait a little longer."

Su Rao smiled: "The rule of first-come-first-served is still important. The officials don't dare to bother washing the inkstone to handle the case. The affairs of the Ministry of Punishment can be moved back. It doesn't matter."

She stood there calmly.

As if they were really waiting patiently, the others looked at the situation in front of them with different thoughts.

Shadow didn't expect her to say that, and was slightly taken aback, feeling amused in his heart.

Doesn't this mean that they are here?
Why dare not disturb the handling of the case, it is obviously to remind him that the two families will go their own way and will not interfere with each other, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs cannot be interfered with by washing the inkstone.

Be careful and think a lot.

"Then just wait."

Shadow stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, closing his eyes and waiting quietly. Nan Jinse couldn't figure out what the gentleman Xiyantai was thinking, and was afraid of being reckless and causing trouble, so he stood silently.

Xie Jiong glanced between Ying Ying and Su Rao.

Is it his delusion?

The commander seemed to be a little lenient towards her...

The question of who is the commander of the inkstone washers has troubled the courtiers of Dayong for several years. Since the founding of the dynasty, the ancestors set up the inkstone washers, and with their hands, they have carried out the cruel administration of officials for more than ten years.

Then the relationship between the imperial court eased, and the inkstone washing platform gradually retreated behind the scenes.

Every time there was a coup, the emperor would choose to use the Inkstone Washer to clear out cronies and rebels. This institution left a deep shadow in almost every dynasty.

The command to wash the inkstone has been like this for hundreds of years.

Under a mask, one doesn't know the gender, the identity, and whether it's a new person...

It's jaw-droppingly cold.

Recently, the frequency of inkstone washers is getting higher and higher...

A strange color flashed across Xie Jiong's eyes, and he concealed it by lowering his head.

"grown ups."

"My lord, we've searched everything, and found nothing unusual."

The scattered inkstone washing guards gradually returned to their cages, and when the last one returned with the same news, Shadow touched the scabbard and glanced at Xie Jiong: "Thank you for your cooperation, I will not delay Master Su's handling of the case."

He looked at the Inkstone Washing Guard and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

With an order, all the people in the yard moved out of the way in unison, and the shadow left first, and they disappeared soon after.

Nan Jinse's tense body relaxed.

Regardless of saying hello to Su Rao, she rushed in, Su Rao nodded slightly in Xie Jiong's direction, then turned to Xun Zeli and the others and said, "General Xie is still ill, so don't disturb him, you can wait outside now."

Several people lowered their heads: "Yes."

Su Rao turned and entered the house.

The light in the room was not bright, the window was opened low for ventilation, and a beam of light came in, falling on the ground in front of the bed.

Like a clear line.

Xie Yin signaled Nan Jinse to help her up, "Go out first, I'll talk to her."

Nan Jinse nodded silently.

When passing by Su Rao, the two greeted each other, and as soon as she left, there were only two people left in the room.

Su Rao casually found a seat at the table and sat down, staring at him intently.

"How is the wound healing?"

"good."

Xie Yin's complexion was pale and pale during his illness, his long eyebrows were raised, his eyebrows and eyes were still cold, revealing the inner majesty.

Only at this moment, I tried my best to restrain myself a little.

Make him seem approachable.

"Brother Cui's medical skills are excellent, and the patients treated by him have always recovered well."

Su Rao smiled lightly.

Xie Yin looked at her with complicated eyes, "You call him brother, but you refuse to call me?"

Su Rao was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Cousin."

Although the two words are very sparse, without much enthusiasm and intimacy, Xie Yin still stretched his brows.

He wanted to say something, but was blocked by Su Rao: "Do you have doubts about the person who assassinated you this time?"

When it comes to business, Xie Yin suppresses distracting thoughts, relaxes and leans back, his eyes are slightly cold: "It should have been there."

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty suddenly transferred me to the border, do you know why?"

Xie Yin asked.

The reason given by the court was that Dayan might raise an army and needed a strong general to sit in command, but Su Rao suspected that he had other intentions. Now hearing him ask this question, she felt certain.

"It's related to the person Xiyantai is looking for today."

Xie Yin raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, it seems that this cousin knows more than he imagined.

"That's right, Xiyantai suspected that I was harboring someone, and deliberately used a trick to avoid being sent to the border town."

"So did you do it?"

Su Rao's question was naked, straight to the point, and she didn't shy away from it.

Xie Yin was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head, meeting her gaze, "Which one are you referring to?"

"Both."

In a strange silence, Xie Yin said: "I did it."

The general is ashamed to avoid war.

But the reason why he took this position was to find out the truth and clear Xie's grievances.

How willing to back down at this time!
Surprised, Su Rao looked at him blankly, "Princess Yongchang is in your hands? And this injury..."
