Before she could answer, the rim of the teacup with the aroma of warm tea was caught off guard and moved to her lips.

She raised her eyes and looked at Mu Jingzhao in front of her. Under the flickering lights, his eyes were as bright as stars, and she smiled slightly, "Drink, I just blew it for you, so you won't get burned."

At this point, she didn't say much, she just leaned forward and took a sip, then stretched out her hand to take it belatedly, raised her head and drank it in one gulp.

The tea is clear and moist, with a little floral fragrance, and after drinking a cup, it relieved the dryness in her mouth a little.

She handed the empty teacup in her hand to Mu Jingzhao, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "I want another cup."

Mu Jingzhao didn't say much, walked to the side table and poured her another cup of tea, brought it to his lips and blew on it, before sending it to Jiang Ning.

After repeating this several times, Jiang Ning's discomfort eased a lot.

When she finally had no intention of drinking tea, Mu Jingzhao took the teacup and put it on the table beside her.

After doing everything, he didn't intend to return to Jiang Ning's side, but turned around and walked to the door beside him.

"You wash up first, I will be at the door, after you finish, you will call me, and I will find Ah Zheng to discuss matters."

After getting Jiang Ning's affirmative answer, Mu Jingzhao opened the door and walked out.

When the door was completely closed, her body softened and she immediately lay down on the bed.The beating candlelight in the room fell into Jiang Ning's eyes, making her black grape-like eyes look like stars. She stretched out her hand and pulled the quilt around her waist to the position where only her eyes were exposed.

The faint smell of ambergris on Mu Jingzhao's body instantly filled the tip of her nose, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the door.

The warm light of the lantern on the porch shone into the room, and Mu Jingzhao's slender figure fell on the bed, her brows and eyes were curved, and there was a bit of shame in her eyes.

Jiang Ning closed her eyes, and looked away from Mu Jingzhao. She slowly looked at the furnishings in the house, with an even bigger smile on her face.

After a while, she lifted the quilt and got up, and walked to the table, only then did she realize that the things she used for dressing were neatly placed on the table.

She couldn't help but glanced at Mu Jingzhao who was at the door again, she didn't make much movement, sat down and began to tidy up her appearance.

In fact, her appearance is not bad, but she cried all the way, and after sleeping for so long, her hair is naturally a little disheveled, and it is very easy to tidy it up.

But in a short while, Jiang Ning combed his somewhat disheveled hair neatly.

She walked slowly to the door, her petite figure vaguely overlapped with Mu Jingzhao's figure.She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door.

Mu Jingzhao pushed the door open and entered, followed by Lin Zheng.

However, the moment Mu Jingzhao pushed the door and entered, Jiang Ning bumped into him face to face unexpectedly. The shyness on Jiang Ning's face did not completely recede. Charming color.

Mu Jingzhao was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he saw such an expression on Jiang Ning's face.

It was the first time he saw such an expression on Jiang Ning's face. She already had a baby face, and her eyes were as clear as a child's.

Just think of it as the arrogant young lady of a wealthy family.

Maybe it also has a bit of weed-like vitality that the rich and powerful young lady never had.

There is innocence, there is immaturity and arrogance, and there is liveliness.

However, she lacks some charming and charming colors that women should have.

With such an appearance, one can't help but want to love her and pet her, but it's hard to have any other thoughts.

But at this moment, the charming look between her eyebrows and eyes actually gave her an indescribably bright color.

It is a unique color between a young girl and a mature woman. It is like the end of spring, when the brocade flowers have not completely receded, and the scorching sun begins to move with vigorous vitality. The shy green grass and pink peach fruit With both, it is difficult to describe the splendor of this moment in words, but it is enough to eclipse other seasons.

Seen by Mu Jingzhao's scorching eyes, her cheeks flushed, Jiang Ning finally turned her face away a little uncomfortably, and made way for her side.

Mu Jingzhao and Lin Zheng entered the house one after another

When passing by her side, Mu Jingzhao took a deep look at her, his eyes were burning hot without any concealment.

However, this scorching heat never fell into Jiang Ning's eyes.

Mu Jingzhao sat down at the table, and Lin Zheng stood beside him.

Jiang Ning closed the door and walked to the oil lamps on the side, and all the oil lamps in the house were lit up.

Mu Jingzhao saw her movement, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Zheng behind him, "Sit down, too."

Lin Zheng sat down as he said.

When Jiang Ning settled down under the table, Mu Jingzhao said slowly, "What can you gain from going out today?"

Lin Zheng didn't answer, but took out a scroll from his pocket, spread the scroll and put it on the table.

The scroll was so huge that it was said that the moment it was unfolded, it completely covered the entire tabletop.The criss-cross lines on it divided the scroll into countless areas, and Jiang Ning recognized it at a glance. This was the map of Qingshui County.

On the map, several areas were marked out by Lin Zheng with a red pen, and there were densely packed words written in red pen next to them.

Jiang Ning leaned forward, looked at Lin Zheng's words carefully, and couldn't help but read aloud.

"The Zhong family, a salt soldier, died on the tenth day of May. No one in the whole family was spared except the family members."

"The Li family, a salt soldier. Died on May [-]th..."

"The Chen family, Yan Yin, died on the eighth day of May..."

"Su family, merchant..."

No matter how stupid Jiang Ning was, he still saw some mystery in it.

These people seem to have nothing to do with it, but in fact they have nothing to do with selling salt. Even if they are just ordinary merchants, they probably dabble in salt.

"Why is the interval exactly three days?"

Jiang Ning frowned. Of course, she didn't believe it was a coincidence. It had been like this for several months, so there was a reason for it.

"The rebellion in Qingshui County has been going on for a long time, and the news that came out is that a group of thugs are committing crimes everywhere. Anyone who hears it will subconsciously think that there are a group of thugs who burn, kill and loot all day long, doing all kinds of evil." Mu Jingzhao said softly.

Jiang Ning followed his train of thought, and his eyes widened immediately, "The journey from here to the capital is exactly three days."

Mu Jingzhao nodded slowly.

"Thus, these people deliberately acted as if they were acting very seriously here, and the purpose was to have continuous bad news spread to the capital. From this point of view, the real purpose does not seem to be chaos."

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, and heavily spit out the answer that was about to come out.

"It seems to be forcing someone to show up." (End of this chapter)
