After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun

Yongzhou.

The night is as dark as ink, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky. If you look carefully, it is not difficult to see that the moon is surrounded by a faint red.

On the winding path, a man and a horse were galloping all the way, startling a crowd of jackdaws.

A person came up from behind: "Your Majesty, Master Chu has already taken the girl to the Ministry of Punishment, why did he have to rush to the imperial city overnight?"

Zhou Zijin frowned and did not slow down. He looked straight ahead, with unknown emotions rolling in his eyes.

"The Ministry of Punishment is just a delaying tactic. Those people will not give up."

Jian Ying nodded and said no more words.

It wasn't until the sky turned white that Zhou Zijin saw the city gate not far away.

Chu Nianshan was already waiting at the city gate, and an inconspicuous carriage was also parked aside.

He glanced at Zhou Zijin's red eyes and shook his head: "Sooner or later, if you act like this, your body will be destroyed by you."

"I'm worried about her." Zhou Zijin's Adam's apple rolled up and down, inhaling a lot of dust along the way, and his throat was extremely dry.

Seeing his chapped lips, Chu Nianshan smiled helplessly and threw him a small kettle.

Zhou Zijin said thank you, raised his head and drank a few sips, and the kettle quickly reached the bottom.

"When the Jiang family gets the news, they will definitely take action. He Wangfeng is not a good person, so his words will not be easy in their hands."

Chu Nianshan said: "It's not a good life. My whole hands are dripping with blood. I don't know if I will be able to write in the future."

Zhou Zijin's pupils suddenly shrank, he made a fist with his right hand, and the veins on his hand gradually appeared, gritted his teeth and said: "I think this Dali Temple really needs to be renovated."

"Where is Zhuang Xinlan? Is that old thief Xu Luyan willing to let her go?" Chu Nianshan asked about another matter.

"When I arrived, he and his wife were already dead." Zhou Zijin's fists loosened.

"suicide?"

"Man-made."

Zhou Zijin sounded a little regretful: "After all, it was a step too late. The Jiang family got the news from somewhere and poisoned his wine."

"However, they seemed to have expected it and hid Zhuang Xinlan in the cellar in advance." Zhou Zijin paused and then said.

"The chess move was just one step away." Chu Nianshan's eyes narrowed, "Being able to keep Zhuang Xinlan here means that she must have mastered the key evidence."

"I asked, but she acted like a mute and said nothing." Zhou Zijin said.

Chu Nianshan thought for a while: "It's not in a hurry."

"Uu——"

The groom tightened the reins and stopped at the back door of Chu Mansion.

"You took her to your home?"

Chu Nianshan followed Zhou Zijin and got out of the carriage: "Yes, the Ministry of Punishment has arranged for someone to replace him, and we can cover it up for a while."

As soon as Zhou Zijin stepped into Chu Mansion, he was going to find Lin Zhiyu.

Chu Nianshan stopped him: "What's the rush? She hasn't woken up yet. It's in vain for you to go. Why don't you go wash up and discuss it later."

Zhou Zijin paused and turned to the guest room.

Chu Nianshan's eyes were heavy and he went to Lin Zhiyu's house by himself.

The person on the bed had his eyes closed and his breathing was gentle and shallow, but his face looked uneasy.

Chu Nianshan put the golden ring and jade pendant in Lin Zhiyu's hand and said, "It seems like he had a nightmare."

It was just an unintentional move back then, and she had probably already forgotten the boy who wanted to die by the river.

"Master Chu."

Mother An came in silently with a bowl of medicine. Chu Nianshan was a little uncomfortable, put away his expression, and returned to his calm demeanor before: "What do you say over there?"

"The Emperor received news from the Jiang family and has now come to the Ministry of Punishment." An's mother put down the medicine bowl and whispered back, fearing to disturb the sleeping person on the bed.

Chu Nianshan glanced at Lin Zhiyu for the last time, stood up and ordered: "Take good care of her. No one can let her in without my order. Let the public know that the eldest girl has been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and no leaks can be allowed."

"Yes."

Mother An looked at Chu Nianshan's back and couldn't help but said: "Nianshan, your mother is buried in Wushan outside the city. Do you really want to go and see it?"

Chu Nianshan paused, remained silent for a long time, and softly uttered two words: "No need."

study.

Zhou Zijin had been waiting aside for a long time. He had already drank two pots of strong tea and was holding on to his energy while talking to Jian Ying.

"Do you know the whole story?"

Chu Nianshan glanced at the dark blue under his eyes, then looked away and brewed a new pot of tea.

Zhou Zijin nodded: "Malaysan is the key."

"He is a young man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He is the best breakthrough." Chu Nianshan agreed.

"I met him once before in Ruyifang. Once this person has money, he will definitely visit the casino again."

Zhou Zijin had a worried look on his face: "But I don't know where he went. Maybe he has left the city now."

"I've already sent people to look for it. Now we still have a breakthrough, maybe we can explore it."

Chu Nianshan took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, which was the confession that He Chenghu had prepared for Lin Zhiyu.

"It is true that there is walnut powder on Zhang Shuangshuang's clothes, but I asked someone to inspect it carefully. It is also mixed with pastry powder. It is definitely impossible to get it from a walnut stall."

Chu Nianshan pointed at the piece of paper.

"But this alone does not mean that Lin Zhiyu did not do this." Zhou Zijin said, "Physical evidence and personal evidence are indispensable."

The two looked at each other to confirm that the other person was thinking the same thing as themselves.

"You are her future husband. It is most appropriate for you to come forward and go to the Lin Mansion."

While the two were discussing, a boy came to report: "There is a woman at the door, saying she knows Malay San's whereabouts."

"Invite her in."

Not long after, a woman with her head wrapped in a cloth came over, led by a servant, and knelt on the ground with a frightened expression.

"Ms. Hu, a civilian woman, has met two adults."

Zhou Zijin looked at her for a moment and recognized this person as the pregnant woman who was crying and screaming at the gate of Ruyifang that day.

"Are you Ma Laisan's ex-wife?"

"Exactly." The woman quietly raised her head and glanced at Zhou Zijin, feeling familiar.

"The eldest girl was kind to me before. I was among the crowd yesterday. I was just afraid of being retaliated, so I didn't come out to testify."

She saw Lin Zhiyu from a distance and felt that he was very similar to the young man she saw at the casino gate that day. She also heard that a woman had sneaked into the casino that day, and she immediately understood what was going on.

The woman lowered her head and recounted everything she knew.

"The day before yesterday, I saw Malay San and a man talking furtively. Although I didn't listen carefully, I remembered the man's clothes."

"He is an idle person who dreams of getting rich overnight. There is absolutely no way he can go about his business peacefully." The woman gritted her teeth.

Zhou Zijin sounded a little anxious: "You said you know his whereabouts, is he still in the capital now?"

The woman said: "He is guilty of being a thief. He has packed his things and is going back to the countryside. He should be preparing to leave the city now."
