It was late in the blink of an eye, the moon was fading, like a scimitar, Lin Jingmo's injury was not completely healed, but because Shang Shixu never returned to the house, she moved back to the main courtyard. In the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened by a nightmare, and she was out of bed. The cold sweat suddenly opened his eyes.

In the dream, she appeared again that morning. The woman was covered in blood and stuffed the note into her hand. Xu Zhou... Who is Xu Zhou?There is also the woman who fell from the building. I don't know how her injuries are.

Lin Jingmo turned over, and when he accidentally touched the wound, there was another burst of pain, and he couldn't help letting out a muffled groan.

Li's mother heard a sound in the inner room, and hurriedly got up from the soft couch outside, put on a coat, and turned on the lamp to look.

With a little candlelight, she raised the bed curtain and asked, "Miss, did you touch a wound?"

Taking advantage of the light, Mother Li helped Lin Jingmo sit up with one hand.

Lin Jingmo asked: "Has my husband returned from the Yali?"

Mother Li put the lamp on the table, poured a bowl of water and handed it to her, and said, "Girl, rest assured, sleep, how you lived in the past, how you will live in the future."

The implication is that they didn't care about timing in the past, so why should they care about it now.

Lin Jingmo took the water and drank it, lowered his head, and counted with his fingers thoughtfully: "It's been seven days."

"What are seven days? In the past, my uncle didn't show up once in ten days and a half months. Shouldn't we live on as usual?" Mother Li wiped Lin Jingmo's sweaty forehead, and continued: "It's late at night, girl, go to bed."

Lin Jingmo replied, "It wasn't Shang Shixu, but the woman who fell from upstairs. It has been seven days since she was injured."

Li's mother sat beside Lin Jingmo's bed and said: "Bah, bah, whoever came from somewhere, caused you to go to prison, and you were injured all over your body. You are a good minister, and you were beaten like this. They are all unruly beasts, tomorrow when the girl is better, I will send someone to inform Lord Shangshu, and if Lord Shangshu can't control it, I will tell His Royal Highness the Queen!"

Mother Li and the others didn't know that Li Zhengzao, who had beaten Lin Jingmo, was imprisoned in Zhao Prison by Shang Shixu.

Lin Jingmo shook his head: "This matter is not the most important thing. First, I don't know what the woman is doing now. Second, Zhang Renhuai, who hurt others that day, was let go by them openly. How can there be such a thing in the world? The son of the family does not need to obey the law."

"What is this?" Lin's mother gently stroked the broken hair on Lin Jingmo's forehead: "In the whole world, there are more than one or two injustices. The girl comes from a famous family, so naturally her life goes smoothly, and the people suffer, how can it be us? Did the women in the courtyard worry about it?"

Lin Jingmo disagreed: "I saw this with my own eyes. What's even more frightening is that they said they wanted me to bear the responsibility of hurting others. How can there be such a reason in the world? If my husband hadn't come to save me, I'm afraid... ..."

"My girl, it's a blessing for us to be able to get out of the prison in one piece today, so don't mention anything else. The imperial court raises so many Hanlin, Zhongcheng, Shangshu, and Shilang. How well it is cured, everyone wants to climb high branches..." When it comes to climbing high branches, Li's mother subconsciously glanced at Lin Jingmo, and said without vomit: "Even if it is our uncle... the so-called sage books that have been read for so many years , are not very kind to the girl, I see, they have read so much that they have forgotten their original intentions!"

"Mother Li!" Lin Jingmo said: "I just elicited your complaints with a few words. Shang Shixu saved me again this time, so why bother to mention the past!"

After all, she lay down, turned her back to Mother Li and stopped talking.In my heart, I planned to go to the government office to find out what happened tomorrow no matter what.

Mother Li had no choice but to sigh, picked up the lamp on the table and lay back on the couch.

……

On the second day, Lin Jingmo got up early and couldn't hold back Mama Li, so he took her to wait in the Jingzhao government office, and when he saw Cui Shang who came to fight, he waved to him from a distance.

Cui Shang saw that it was Lin Jingmo, so he saluted Lin Jingmo: "Mrs. Shang, is the injury healed? I offended you so much that day, and I still look at Haihan."

After all, he knew that if he hadn't revealed to Shang Shixu that day that he had captured Lin Jingmo, he might already be in Zhao Prison at this moment, just like Li Zheng, who was randomly charged by the Ministry of Household Affairs and executed by Qiu Houwen.

Lin Jingmo didn't mention what happened that day again, but asked anxiously: "Let me ask you, what happened to the girl who fell from the building that day?"

"The girl from that day?" Cui Shang repeated.

Lin Jingmo said angrily, "Am I asking you or you asking me?"

Cui Shang lowered his eyes, a little defensive and a little confused: "Mrs. Shang asked why?"

Lin Jingmo couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him: "You know I'm Shang Shixu's wife, then you must know who my father is!"

Cui Shang replied: "Lin Yuanzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is a clear stream in the court. He is upright and selfless, has the world in mind, does things according to the rules, and never favoritism. I think that on the day when he was dismissed from office, he also arrested his wife for questioning as usual. People who beat her also No, even if it is Lin Shangshu, he will not punish me for no reason."

Lin Jingmo said helplessly: "You are cruel! If you don't say it, forget it."

Lin Jingmo turned around and was about to leave, but Cui Shang said, "She's dead!"

Lin Jingmo turned around in surprise, and looked at Cui Shang in disbelief: "How is it possible? That day she... she was clearly still alive!"

Cui Shang said lightly: "That day was that day, today is today, maybe she was still alive that day, but today...she is dead. Her body was placed in Yizhuang on the outskirts of the city. She had no father or mother, just an ordinary It’s just a singer who sells songs. I don’t know how many people like this will die every day in Beijing, no matter whether they are dead or alive, there is no difference, and who will care.”

"I will care." Lin Jingmo raised his head, his pure eyes were full of anger: "What's wrong with such a person? Is it his fault that he is in chaos and has no relatives? Is he not even worthy of life?"

Cui Shang was frightened by her appearance, and was speechless for a moment.

Lin Jingmo continued to ask: "Where's Zhang Renhuai? That poor woman died, but he got away with it."

Cui Shang lowered his head as if to express his acquiescence.

Lin Jingmo nodded in understanding, turned around and was about to leave.

But Cui Shang said to Lin Jingmo's back: "The reason why I told the whole thing is not because I am afraid of Lin Shangshu, but because I am afraid of Shang Shilang!"

Lin Jingmo turned around and looked at him suspiciously.

He smiled softly and said, "The person who beat you that day was called Li Zheng. He has been imprisoned in Zhao Prison. The torture there is more than whipping. I heard that he was tortured so much that he was even convicted of accepting bribes 800 years ago. After autumn, he will be asked to beheaded, and he will learn from Shang Shilang's tricks, and he will be an official... not dare to offend Mrs. Shang."

At this time, Lin Jingmo suddenly realized: Could it be that Shang Shixu didn't return to the mansion all day long to avenge himself?
