Hot tears streaked down the side of Pei Zhaojiang's face, and he squeezed out two words from his throat in a hoarse voice, "Sister..."

In Gu Nanzhi's eyes, he was just a child. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, her eyes as gentle as water, "Don't be afraid! Sister is here, no one can bully you anymore, Sister will definitely Seeking justice for you.”

After so many years of unfair treatment in the Pei family, Pei Zhaojiang's heart was cold before this, but at this moment, his heart was warmed by her words. This was the first time that someone Protecting him, even the injuries on his body no longer hurt.

Seeing the unconcealed fatigue on Gu Nanzhi's face, he said guiltily: "Sister, it's all my fault that made you come all the way here."

"Nonsense, sister was just thinking of coming to see you." Gu Nanzhi hugged him gently.

This sudden happiness made Pei Zhaojiang freeze instantly. He looked at Gu Nanzhi blankly, and he no longer knew what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.

A person who couldn't get close, but always wanted to get close, suddenly hugged him and gave him a hug he never dared to hope for.

This is probably happiness!

Pei Zhaojiang's eyes turned red again.

Not far away, a head suddenly popped out, just in time to see the scene of two people embracing.

Gu Nazhi knew that Pei Zhaojiang had not eaten a grain of rice in several days, so she asked someone to set up a small charcoal fire and simmered chicken soup with Lao Shen and Astragalus in it, which was good for his injury.

"Drink some soup before we talk." Seeing that Pei Zhaojiang wanted to speak, she turned around and filled a bowl of soup, passing spoonfuls to the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, it's just hard work, sister." Pei Zhaojiang listened to her in everything. She fed him a spoonful, and he drank a spoonful. He felt mixed emotions in his heart. This was the best soup he had ever tasted in his life.

After he finished the bowl of soup, he saw that he was in better spirits and his mood was much more stable. Gu Nanzhi was about to ask him about the specific situation, but Pei Zhaojiang suddenly spoke.

The young man's eyes were red, "Sister, I didn't cheat, and I didn't kill Jiang Chengzong. I..." I didn't embarrass you!

Gu Nanzhi gently rubbed his head, "Sister, I know."

Pei Zhaojiang had resisted so many tortures before, but in front of Gu Nanzhi, he seemed to have a child to rely on, and he suddenly felt aggrieved. He choked and said: "Although those notes are my notes, they are not mine." "I wrote that Jiang Chengzong was not pushed to the ground by me. He pulled me hard, and then for some reason, he suddenly fell to the ground and hit his head on the steps."

Gu Nanzhi knew all this, "I heard from Qingsong that since you came to Yuelu Academy, you have entered the upper house and you have come out on top every time?"

Pei Zhaojiang's face turned red, and he nodded slightly, "Yeah!"

Then he hurriedly explained to Gu Nanzhi, "These are what I learned in the Pei family. I cut down on clothing and diet to save money, and asked Qingsong to secretly buy a book and bring it back, and then I learned it secretly at night behind everyone's back."

This was something Gu Nanzhi didn't expect.

He is so motivated that he can learn so well by studying secretly alone.

Then why didn't he take the imperial examination in his previous life?

If he is the top scholar in high school, with his intelligence and some tricks, he may not be able to pull Pei Luobai down, because both the old lady and the elders of the Pei family hope that the Pei family will give up martial arts and follow literature.

But he followed the Zhao family's arrangements and chose to go into business, becoming the money bag of everyone in the Pei family, allowing them to take whatever they wanted and spend extravagantly.

After she fell ill, the old lady took back the power of the family. It can be said that he supported the entire Hou Mansion alone.

Gu Nanzhi suddenly felt a little guilty. Why hadn't she thought of letting him study earlier?

She sighed softly: "I was negligent."

裴照江立刻反驳,“不是,阿姐已经做的很好了,在裴家时,若无阿姐庇佑,我早就死在不知道哪个冬日了。”

顾南枝与他分析情况,“我只为你争取到了三日,当务之急是把真凶揪出来,你觉得谁想要对付你?”

Pei Zhaojiang couldn't figure it out, "Only Jiang Chengzong and I have always been at odds, so no matter what I say, they don't believe it. His death has nothing to do with me."

Gu Nanzhi changed the question, "Before you went to Shangshe, who was the best scholar in Shangshe?"

Pei Zhaojiang knows this, "Nie Jun."

Gu Nanzhi had a bold guess in his mind that Jiang Chengzong was at odds with him, but didn't Nie Jun have other ideas?

There is a certain kind of person who thinks he is the best person in the world and cannot tolerate others overpowering him.

She has asked Linglong to check, and she believes the results will be available soon.

Pei Zhaojiang had just escaped from death. Seeing that he was in low spirits, Gu Nanzhi lifted the thin blanket on his body and said softly: "Sister, I'm here to stay with you. If you can't hold on any longer, just go to sleep! Everything will be fine when you wake up. .”

Pei Zhaojiang closed his eyes obediently and fell asleep in a moment.

Everyone in Shangshe was present that day, so it took a lot of effort to investigate.

Linglong didn't come back until daylight. Seeing that she had been busy all night, her face was not tired at all, but looked full of spring breeze. Gu Nazhi knew that she must have gained something, and the gain was not small.

Sure enough.

Linglong couldn't wait to say: "Girl, the method you taught me is really useful. It's a pity that you didn't see it with your own eyes."

The corners of Gu Nanzhi's lips raised, "So you already know who the real murderer is?"

Linglong winked at her.

Gu Nanzhi immediately stood up and said, "Tell someone to inform the magistrate, and we will retry the case today."

程远收到消息的时候,人都是懵的,华阳县主这么厉害的吗?一天的时间都不到就找到真凶了。

Because he was pretentious and thinking about Gu Nanzhi, Pei Zhaojiang only slept for less than an hour. When Gu Nanzhi told him the news, he was dumbfounded and it took him a while to come back to his senses. .

Gu Nazhi had already asked someone to tell Cheng Yuan that all the students in Shangshe would be summoned to the government office.

Pei Zhaojiang was carried up.

When they arrived, the court was already full of students from Shangshe, and everyone retreated when they saw Pei Zhaojiang.

Nie Jun stood at the head of the students.

Linglong stood next to Gu Nazhi and winked at her.

Gu Nanzhi understood it, her eyes were light, and she scanned all the students one by one, and inadvertently glanced at Nie Jun one more time.

As the gavel fell.

Cheng Yuan's majestic voice sounded, "Shengtang!"

A group of students immediately shouted loudly, "Sir, why is this happening? The case has clearly been investigated clearly. We all saw with our own eyes that it was Pei Zhaojiang who killed Jiang Chengzong. There is no suspense in this case. Why can't it be closed? Just because it's here. Is some county chief supporting Pei Zhaojiang?"

“对,我们不服,县主又如何?此案已定,她有什么资格插手,难道她想仗势欺人吗?”
