I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Luo Qianhuai closed his eyes, and his mind gradually jumped from the familiar medical monograph to other places.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't flustered, but she knew it wouldn't help, so she tried her best to stay calm.

They said his lordship would bring her to trial in person at a later date. The adult they were talking about was probably the majestic and solemn Feiyi official.

This is not difficult to guess, because of the three people who came to the door, he was the only one who did not show up. And he is obviously the one who has the final say.

Luo Qianhuai felt that compared to the other two, this real adult might be able to communicate better.

At least he listened to her plea, let Xing Jiu go, and allowed her to prepare a cloak for him.

So if we talk about it carefully, maybe the other party can believe that he has nothing to do with the fallen Lord Yong'an.

A check on her innocence revealed that she was a reasonable person and would not let herself be involved in a major treason case.

Huo Yu stood outside the fence for a long time. The young lady was sitting on the couch, her back straight, her eyes slightly closed, but her face was unexpectedly calm, as if she was not in a dark prison, but sitting under the peach blossom tree in the warm wind and sunshine.

The eyebrows are as thick as the crescent moon, and the eyelashes are dark and dense, slightly curved and arranged under the eyelids. Her cheeks are filled with fresh lychee, and her nose is greasy with goose fat. She is gentle and silent, and looks amiable.

Luo Qianhuai seemed to sense it and slowly opened his eyes. Just like the moonlight, the heavy clouds slowly cast a clear light, which illuminated the dark prison cell.

There seemed to be a hint of warmth in the eyes outside the cell, which were as cold as a pool, but it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The jailer lowered his head and unlocked the door. Huo Yu walked in. He has now taken off his official uniform, wearing a black jade crown and a black fox fur collared cloak, but his expression is as cold as in the morning.

Luo Qianhuai stood up and sat down, saluting: "Your Excellency."

"I already know that you have admitted your crime." Huo Yu's voice was unexpectedly gentle: "Last night was just a small matter. Now that you have acknowledged your mistake, you can pay for your sin to show your majesty's kindness."

As expected, it is easy for the king of hell to find trouble with little devils. This adult is a thousand times stronger than the previous two.

Luo Qianhuai saluted sincerely: "Thank you, sir. My daughter will deliver the ransom immediately after she returns home."

"This matter is not urgent." Huo Yu looked at her smooth crow-green hair, his eyes narrowed slightly, and continued: "It's just that you are accused of being involved in the Yong'an case, but it is a bit troublesome."

As soon as Luo Qianhuai heard this, his heart tightened. From ancient times to the present, we have always preferred to kill by mistake rather than let go. Why do you just ignore it so little?

She quickly repeated her rhetoric just now, and at the end she opened a pair of starry almond-shaped eyes with a pleading look on her face: "Please give me some advice."

"When I do my work, I always pay attention to one piece of evidence." Huo Yu sighed: "Although the crime has many implications, it will not let the good people suffer in vain."

Luo Qianhuai quickly said: "Your Excellency is very understanding and cares about the people. He is really a rare good official."

Huo Yu's words changed: "It's just to verify the identity. It will take a long time to collect evidence from multiple parties. I wonder if Mrs. Luo would like to stay here temporarily, or go home first and wait for interrogation?"

Only a fool would choose the former. Who doesn't know that he should be released on bail pending trial?

Luo Qianhuai's face was full of expectations: "My little girl wants to go home as soon as possible so that she can raise money and silk to pay off her previous sins. Of course, during this period, my little girl will stay in Changling Yi honestly and promise to be there whenever I am called. ”   Huo Yu looked at her snow-white and slender neck, and slowly took two steps forward. He was only an arm's length away from Luo Qianhuai.

This has exceeded the normal social distance between people. Luo Qianhuai subconsciously wanted to step back, but his left wrist was grabbed by someone.

The resolute and solemn Changling Ling lowered his head slightly, gently lifted up her sleeves, and glanced at the several purple-red marks drawn by the hemp rope. A very magnetic voice sounded in her ears:

"The skin is like cold jade, but it is a pity that it has not been polished." He sighed in a low voice: "Why is this beautiful woman living in the market?"

Luo Qianhuai is not a real fifteen-year-old girl, so you can't tell what he means. She struggled backwards, trying to escape from his grasp, but with her own strength, there was no way she could escape from an adult man.

"Sir, my daughter is a good girl, please respect yourself!"

"A daughter from a good family?" Huo Yu had now turned her attention to the gold bracelet with silk beads on her wrist.

"Except for Ouchi, only Luohongzhai, the top jewelry shop in Xijing, can produce this kind of silk craftsmanship. Even for a pair of ordinary bracelets, the price is not within the reach of ordinary people."

He raised his head and looked at Luo Qianhuai, his eyes a little sharper than before: "Madam Luo, can you explain how ordinary people in Shouanli, Kangle County, Xinzhou can afford to wear bracelets worth dozens of gold? Yunjinhu silk? Could it be that the imperial hierarchy is just a piece of paper to Mrs. Luo?"

Luo Qianhuai didn't expect that he would raise an issue over this matter, and couldn't help but be stunned.

When Dayu was founded, a strict clothing system was indeed established. There were strict regulations on the clothing materials, colors, and accessories worn by people of different classes.

For example, common people like her can only wear plain linen clothes and wear wooden or copper hairpins. Silk, gold and jade are not suitable at all.

Luo Qianhuai had been worried about this matter before, and even inquired about it in detail from Wei Cangxing and others several times. Their answers reassured her.

In the past hundred years, the country has become rich and the people have become strong, and the national strength is far from what it was when it was first determined. When the people have enough food and clothing, they will naturally pursue a better material and cultural life.

Ordinary people also wear brightly colored clothes during the New Year and festivals, and wear a low-quality jade bead as a headband, not to mention those wealthy merchants.

Although their social status is very low, they have a lot of money and silk. They gradually become accustomed to wearing silks, satins, gold and jade jewelry.

The bustling beauty can be seen in the markets, but the officials turn a blind eye.

She didn't expect that the adult in front of her would actually use this kind of thing to question her.

"What do you mean, sir?" Luo Qianhuai withdrew his hand forcefully, took a few steps back and bit his lip and said, "In Changling City, there are countless people who violate the dress code, and my Lord has no intention of pursuing them. , why bother to embarrass my little girl?"

Huo Yu looked at her with a pair of harmless almond-shaped eyes and a wary look on her face. She looked very much like the raccoon slave at home who was caught stealing, and he thought it was quite cute.

It's just that he is deep in the city, and what he thinks in his heart does not show anything on his face: "Madam Luo, please don't misunderstand me. This officer is just making a routine inquiry. If Madam Luo cannot tell the origin of these clothes, Goulian The possibility of rebelling against the party is quite high, even if I wanted to help, I would not dare to let Mrs. Luo walk out of here."
