Chapter 173
After coming out of the restaurant, Hua Rujin was lingering in her thoughts, and began to think about the case of getting into the Zhuo family. Since she agreed to Mu Ran, she naturally couldn't stand by and watch.

It's just that Ye Chengwei mentioned that Zhuo's family sells iron ore and rice grains to Beiguo. Obviously, he has already realized that these things are related to King Fu. With this level of concern, she is not willing to act rashly.

Seeing her sad face, Ye Chengwei had already seen through her thoughts.

This girl has always kept her promise, and she will always do what she promises to others.

It's just that he has become more cautious now after experiencing the incident at Mount Baitu, and he doesn't want her to make any mistakes, so he will never make a move easily without certainty.

"I visited Mu Ran's cousin in prison a few days ago."

Ye Chengwei whispered to her: "She doesn't regret what she did in the courtroom. Besides, Zhuo Fan was stabbed more than ten times in a row by her, and his death was very miserable. The case was tried by Mr. This move not only despises the court, but also shocks the entire officialdom, if it is not severely punished, it will be difficult to educate the people."

Hua Rujin also heard what he meant, that he wanted to give up defending the woman.

"My lord is now the procurator of the provincial government, in charge of a province's prisons, and I can understand the protection of the official authority and the court's laws, but Miss Tang's family is really miserable. She brought up her young girl by herself, and finally raised her to the age of ten. He was murdered to death in such a ignorant way, but the government easily closed the case because Zhuo Fan was insane, and it would be difficult for anyone to swallow this bad breath."

Ever since she got acquainted with Hua Youen, Hua Muyang and Cheng Nini, she suddenly felt empathy for what happened to the woman from the Tang family.

If one day, the three of them are persecuted like this, I can't help but seek justice for them.

Wu Muning also sympathized with Mu Ran's two cousins ​​very much. She hoped that she and Hua Rujin could win the chance to reverse the case, so she said cautiously:

"Mr. Ye's worries are also the concerns of all the officials at the moment. Although I don't want shopkeeper Hua to easily reverse the case for Miss Tang, but judging from the current situation, there must be a reason to thoroughly investigate the Zhuo family. Maybe this case It just happens to be an opportunity to dig deep into the Zhuo family."

In the quiet carriage, the three of them turned their gazes to Wu Muning at the same time, and heard her speak in detail:
"I am quite active in Beijing because I often come out and walk around. Not only do I know more about the boudoir than you, but I also know a lot about the rich and powerful. Zhuo Fan is the only son of the Zhuo family's second wife, and Concubine Zhuo is the second wife. The elder sister of the deceased Zhuo Erye, because of this relationship, Zhuo Fan has been doted on since he was a child, and even bullied and molested Princess Jingxi when he was in Beijing in his early years."

"Is this guy so arrogant?"

Hua Rujin showed an incredible face.

Hearing the name of Princess Jingxi, Ye Chengwei's calm face was slightly turbulent.

"Hey, even though she is a princess, she is not welcome. It is just because her biological mother, Concubine Rou Gui, had an affair with the eldest prince and was given to death by His Majesty together. Therefore, in the palace, this Princess Jingxi is really someone who can step on both of them." foot."

At this point, Wu Muning couldn't help but smiled innocently at Ye Chengwei, "Only Mr. Ye is very respectful to her."

"Wu Suantou, what nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that this king has treated younger sister Jing Xi poorly?"

Zhu Zhiye curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "This king often listens to his mother and concubine's teachings, and the family is not as bad as the disaster. Even if Jing Xi's mother and concubine did something wrong to the father, this king has always treated her as his own sister. "

"Oh, yes, yes, there is also our kind-hearted Highness, but Princess Jingxi's affection for His Highness is different from that of Young Master Ye."

Wu Muning smiled deeply again, and Zhu Zhiye immediately understood the deep meaning of her words, and stared at Ye Chengwei annoyedly: "Ye Chengwei, this king still wants to ask you, on the day you were named on the gold list, sister Jingxi You said you wanted to ask Father for a marriage, why didn't you agree, and even rejected her?"

Ye Chengwei knew that these two people were definitely going to bring up this matter, so he pursed his lips casually: "Your Highness is really good at reasoning, there are countless women in the world, and there are hundreds of princesses and princesses in the palace alone. , does it mean that I have to marry someone back to my family if I show good respect to them?"

Hearing this, Hua Rujin couldn't help but chuckle.

Zhuangyuan Lang, who has always been serious and serious, can only hear him say such witty words in front of King Ning.

It's just that Ye Chengwei's words made Hua Rujin suddenly have some new insights.

He has always been sympathetic to the poor and the weak, and he respected Princess Jingxi so much that he felt sorry for her background, and the same reasoning was the same for him.

Cough, after all, I thought too much.

Afraid that the two would argue again, Hua Rujin hurriedly changed the topic back: "Miss Wu just said that Zhuo Fan molested Princess Jingxi, so what happened afterwards?"

Wu Muning sighed and said: "After all, it is His Majesty's own flesh and blood, and I think His Majesty still has some affection for that noble concubine Rou, and he cannot tolerate a merchant who is cheap and bullying his daughter. Only by making good remarks can this matter be calmed down."

"So, Mu Ran didn't lie to us before, Zhuo Fan was not born with madness."

Hua Rujin began to believe what Mu Ran said.

"That's natural."

Wu Muning said with a smile: "If he is really insane, how dare the Zhuo family let him into the palace. Concubine Zhuo Gui is not a fool, so it can be seen that this matter is just a deliberate excuse to calm it down."

"It seems that Shi Junmu's defense for Zhuo Fan has traces to follow, but he just made Zhuo Fan's condition more serious, because he already has some problems in his brain, so it makes sense to be infected with madness. "

Hua Rujin thought back to seeing Mu Ran that day, and said suspiciously: "Mu Ran is so sure that Zhuo Fan is not crazy. I think he knows something to prove that Zhuo Fan is normal."

"You might as well go to Mu's house tomorrow and ask."

As soon as Wu Muning finished speaking, the carriage suddenly shook, and Ye Chengwei hurriedly asked, "Ting An, what happened?"

Zhu Zhiye directly poked his head out to look, and saw an old man in ragged clothes lying on the ground dying.

"It seems to be an old man who was frozen and injured."

Ting An went down and checked the old man's wound while answering.

Several people also hurriedly got off the carriage and looked at the old man covered in bruises in the dim light. King Ning didn't care about his dirty body, so he took off his outer robe and wrapped the old man's body, and asked anxiously, "Old man, what are you doing?" What happened to this, how could a person go out at night?"

The old man had already traveled for a day in hunger and cold, and was beaten severely, completely losing the strength to speak.

Seeing the friendly faces of the people in front of him, he finally let go of his guard and uttered a few words with difficulty: "I want to see the official."

"He is the official."

Zhu Zhiye looked around, and immediately pointed to Ye Chengwei.

"Save people, fifty miles east of the city"

Before the old man could finish his words, several sharp arrows came straight in the dark night.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Ye Chengwei quickly protected Hua Rujin and hid beside the carriage. Looking back, he saw a dense rain of arrows chasing King Ning away.
