Chapter 49 Let them try to touch me

Xiao Wujin, the governor of Liangzhou, was the youngest Jinshi in the history of Daduan. He did not participate in the palace examination because he was too young.

After four years in the cabinet, Xiao Wujin went to Liangzhou to serve as governor, and stayed there for four years.

Knowing that Xiao Wujin was here, those people stopped looking for a female prisoner. Who didn't know that Xiao Wujin, the governor of Liangzhou, was a person who could not tolerate sand in his eyes.

Cao Tong was sentenced to death. If word spread about his colleagues' pursuit of pleasure, they would all be doomed.

"Where is Mr. Xiao? We should go and pay him a visit."

"My lord doesn't like to disturb you. Regarding the death of Cao Tongpan, your lord has ordered me to come and help. I wonder what you call them?"

Luneng chatted with these people and soon learned of Cui Ti's existence.

"Sir, my subordinate's opinion should be related to the group of people who left in the morning. They still left on a snowy and windy day when it was clear that the road ahead was blocked. It seems that they are running away with a guilty conscience."

Xiao Wujin looked solemn and said immediately: "Go and call Shen Ru over."

"Ok?"

Luneng was a little puzzled, "Sir, if you want to know about Cui Ti, just ask the escort officer. Why bother..."

"I don't want to show up. Since I have met Shen Ru, I will ask Shen Ru to come and inquire."

Xiao Wujin made an excuse casually.

Those who are as sinking as a prisoner, but still able to live a prosperous life, naturally have their own abilities.

"What, let the criminal Shen Ru see you?"

Luneng was looking for Yi Cheng, who went to talk to the escorting officer.

"Yes, don't reveal your identity, just say that you were summoned by your Excellency."

Yi Cheng's expression was subtle. He had discovered that the female prisoner was extraordinarily free and loose around Chen Qing. He didn't expect that even the governor of Liangzhou would summon her!
When Chen Qing learned from Yi Cheng that the imperial official staying at the post station was going to summon Shen Ru, his expression became subtle.

He had always suspected that there was someone behind the Shen family, so was there anyone secretly taking care of the Shen family along the way?
"Shen Ru, someone summoned you!"

Chen Qing took Shen Ru out from where the prisoners were detained.

"Shen Ru, can you tell me who lives in this inn?"

She didn't know. Shen Ru was even more confused than Chen Qing. Didn't he say that he would come to find her again when he arrived in Liangzhou? How come it had only been a day?
"Well, Mr. Chen, it would be good for you to know less."

Shen Ru pretended to be mysterious and said, "Since I don't want to reveal my identity, I naturally don't want you to know."

Chen Qing glanced at Shen Ru quietly, but didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Ru first saw Luneng, and then Xiao Wujin with a cold face. She cleared her throat and pretended to cough a few times.

"Um...I don't know what you call them?"

"My surname is Lu, and our lord's surname is Xiao."

After receiving Xiao Wujin's instructions, Luneng spoke.

"Oh, Master Xiao, Master Lu!"

Shen Ru pretended to be polite, and then said: "What is the purpose of summoning the women here?"

"Do you know about Cao Tongpian's death?"

Xiao Wujin asked, "Don't say you don't know, you went to watch the excitement."

Ok?How does he know?

Shen Ru looked at Xiao Wujin in surprise, and then said:

"Master Xiao seems to be paying close attention to me!"

"uh-huh!"

Luneng coughed awkwardly, "Miss Shen, please be careful what you say!"

Xiao Wujin glared at Shen Ru displeasedly, how could an ordinary woman speak so shamelessly?

"Well, I went to watch the fun and listened to some gossip. Perhaps Judge Cao Tong has provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked."

"Is that the girl named Cui?"

Xiao Wujin asked again.

"What does this have to do with Miss Cui? She is just a beautiful and weak woman!" Shen Ru said calmly, "I guess it was Judge Cao Tong who molested Miss Cui, but Miss Cui had a guard Yes, so..."

"So you think Miss Cui shouldn't be blamed for this?"

Xiao Wujin asked back.

"These are all my one-sided words and my personal opinions. The right and wrong will be investigated by the Yamen chief."

Shen Ru looked at Xiao Wujin and said clearly.

"What is the identity of Mr. Cui?"

Xiao Wujin asked.

"The second young lady of the Cui family in Qinling."

Shen Ru didn't hide it. If the other party wanted to investigate this matter, he could find it immediately.

"Why are you with the prisoners?"

"The Cui family has a marriage contract with the Pei family of Prince Jing's palace. Before the incident, the Cui family got the news and broke off the marriage in advance to stay alone."

Shen Ru said, "The second young lady of the Cui family felt that the family's practices were inappropriate, so she came to escort the Pei family to Liangzhou to comfort her mind."

As for emotional matters, Shen Ru didn't want to say more.

Xiao Wujin didn't know what to say for this reason. What about Cui's loyalty?
"According to the postman's account, the Cui family left in a carriage early in the morning. If this is not to abscond in fear of crime, what is it?"

"Maybe it's an emergency. You can't just accuse people without evidence, right?"

Shen Ru looked at Xiao Wujin unceremoniously and said.

Even if it was Cui Ti's guards who did it, it must have been Cao Tong's audacity.

"The person who died was a sixth-rank official of the imperial court!"

Xiao Wujin said in a deep voice, "If we can't find the murderer, everyone in the post station will be guilty!"

"No, that's not the case. This is an inn. It's dark, windy, icy and snowy. There are always some people who come and go without a trace."

Shen Ru said nonchalantly, "I don't believe there are no unsolved cases in this world."

"If a pending case occurs under my nose, wouldn't it be a slap in my face?"

Xiao Wujin said coldly.

Shen Ru opened his eyes wide and looked at Xiao Wujin.

"What do you want, sir? You can't use me as a scapegoat for whatever you want me to do!"

"Although my skills are no problem in dealing with such a lustful guy, there is clear proof that I am abnormal!"

"I'm very well-behaved. I was there with my parents in the prison where prisoners are held. Hundreds of people can prove it."

Xiao Wujin frowned and looked at Shen Ru, what was she talking about?
"Did I say I wanted to use you as a scapegoat?"

"In your eyes, do you think I am such a person who ignores the facts?"

Shen Ru blinked and looked at Xiao Wujin calmly.

"Um... Mr. Xiao, we are not familiar with each other. I really don't know what kind of person you are."

Xiao Wujin was heartbroken, why was Shen Ru's words so annoying?
Lun Neng on the side couldn't help but smile when he saw that Xiao Wujin was embarrassed.

"Miss Shen, my lord intervened in this matter for the sake of your exile."

"how do I say this?"

Shen Ru couldn't help but ask.

"If you hadn't asked me to reveal my identity and intervene in this matter, this group of drunken and lewd men would still be thinking about your female relatives among the prisoners..."

"Luneng!" Xiao Wujin shouted, it was inappropriate to say this kind of thing in front of Shen Ru.

Shen Ru understood instantly and remembered the way the man over there looked at her when she was joining in the fun.

"Oh, if you really dare to attack me, I will make them regret coming to this world!"

Shen Ru said, clasping his hands into fists, making a rattling sound, with an angry look on his face!
