It was just after noon, and the sky was getting dark.Seems like rain is coming soon.

He Yao stood in the lobby of the government office, looking out, people in the government office were busy coming and going, not sure if it was because of this murder case.She was a little worried. When it rained, all traces would be washed away.At that time, I really couldn't speak clearly.

He Yao thought about it, walked to the door, said a few words to the yamen servant, removed the golden Ling on her foot, and handed it to him reluctantly.The yamen servant weighed it for a while before leaving with a smile.He came back after less than a cup of tea, with a brush and rice paper in his hand.She hastily picked it up.Walking into the lobby, putting the rice paper on the ground, and drawing on the paper for a while, I was relieved.

Sikong Sha paced back and forth nervously, without saying a word, his head covered in cold sweat.She couldn't remember what she had done, and her last memory was only hearing He Yao's whisper.

Then he didn't wake up again, and he didn't know why there was an extra dead person in the room for no reason.She shivered at the thought of sleeping with the dead all day.

I walked back and forth, but I didn't see any improvement, and I remembered that this matter must be passed on to the family.Certainly to be blamed.She squatted down on the ground and hugged her head.Seeing her like this, He Yan didn't say much, but waited quietly for Yuan Xi.

After a while, there was a sudden loud roar, and He Yao immediately looked out, fearing that it was going to rain soon.Now who can restore her innocence?

Yuan Yu was walking in the corridor, and was also shocked by the thunder.She frowned, and called Xingle over, "Let Ye Che send more people, and hurry up to find evidence before it rains."

After listening to Xing Le, he immediately took people to the inn.

Yuan Yu walked into the lobby alone, just in time to see He Yao looking at the sky and worrying.Seeing her coming, He Yao hurriedly said, "Have you found any evidence?"

"This is the secret of the government, and it is impossible to tell the suspect."

"You didn't find any evidence! If you did, you wouldn't be here alone, but you'd be here to ask questions!" He Yao immediately turned around and said.

Yuan Yu walked to her side unhurriedly, and said softly, "Didn't ask for advice?"

"He Yao!" He Yao announced his name.

"Oh? He Yao?"

"Why, you know me?" He Yan raised an eyebrow. If the prefect knew her, it would be much easier.

"No, I've never heard of it." Yuan Xi smiled.Walk around her.He continued, "Miss He, do you know the deceased?"

"We met once." After He Yao calmed down, she remembered that face and was sure she had seen it before.

"You have only been in Ping'an capital for two days, why are you so impressed by the deceased?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Because he tried to cheat on me yesterday evening, I will naturally remember." He Yao replied calmly.

"Oh? The rogue who tried to tease girls in the market, and was beaten up by Miss Sikong?" Yuan Yu glanced at Sikong Sha.

Sikong Sha, who had been in a daze, immediately stood up and said, "He's dead? I... I just pinched him, how could he die?"

"The deceased, Jiang Li, was from Ping'an capital, 35 years old, had no fixed job, was idle, and was well-known as a local villain and bully in Ping'an capital." Yuan Xi said casually.

Sikong Sha nodded, proving that she was right.

"And you, Ms. Sikong, the eldest daughter of the head of the Sikong Mansion, 24 years old, idle, notorious in Ping'an capital, you get very close to these bastards on weekdays, fighting, molesting women, carrying weapons, there are always a few days a month spent time in prison."

"You! I fight, but I also know that killing pays for life. I have been in jail! It doesn't mean I will kill someone! If I kill him, I will pay for my life. I am not a fool!" Sikong Sha said urgently .

"Forgive me, Miss Sikong, you are covered in blood. Miss He saw you sharing the bed with the dead body. You feel innocent. If you were me, would you believe it?"

"Then, then why didn't I run away? What's more, what's more, He Yao was also on the bed at that time!" Sikong Sha hurriedly pulled He Yao over.

When He Yan was mentioned by her, she slapped her fiercely, and Sikong Sha immediately yelled, "Why are you hitting me?"

"How do you know my name?" He Yao asked angrily.

"You talked in your sleep, you said it yourself!"

"I never talk in my sleep!" He Yao was also angry.

Yuan Yu coughed a few times, and He Yao turned around, and said to her, "I was molested by Sikong Sha and others as soon as I arrived in Ping'an Beijing yesterday. After I found out, my baggage was stolen that evening. I chased all the way, and found out that it was the person who molested me during the day! I didn't catch it, but I met Sikong Sha. I planned to find Sikong Sha to find the thief, but I didn't expect Sikong Sha to take me back to the inn, and he fainted me! When I woke up in the morning, I found Sikong Sha sleeping on top of me, with a dead body lying next to me!"

"Miss Sikong, is what she said true?" Yuan Xi turned to ask Sikongsha.

Sikong Sha nodded innocently, "I promise I didn't do anything! I don't know how I slept with her, I woke up in the morning with her screams, fell out of bed, got up When I saw the dead body lying on the bed, I was terrified!"

Thinking of that scene in Yuan Xi's mind, she couldn't help but look at Sikong Sha's back.If she really killed it, she couldn't possibly still be sleeping next to the corpse, waiting for the blood of the corpse to soak her clothes.

What's more, if she had a chance, she could leave and leave the suspicion on He Yao alone.But she didn't leave, leaving behind a body of blood.It's like leaving evidence for yourself.

This can be seen through the naked eye, and Yuan Xi has always believed in the facts seen by the naked eye.However, the facts also told her that Sikong Sha was not the murderer.

The reason is the yellow sand in the hands of the deceased.The sand easily slipped from his hands, but judging from the furnishings in the house and the blankets on the ground, the sand was not brought by the deceased, but someone put it in his hands after his death.

Several hours passed, and the sand leaked from the cracks on the bed, leaving only a little bit in his hand.

The murderer was not a smart person, and tried to transfer the realization to Sikong Sha in vain.

Holding the sand to die, isn't it the evidence that the deceased left behind who is the murderer?

Just because of this, it proves that Sikong Sha is not the murderer. Which murderer would be so stupid to put such obvious evidence on the deceased.

However, it doesn't mean that Sikong Sha is innocent at this moment. If she is innocent, it means that He Yao may be the murderer.But Yuan Yu thought that He Yao was not.

It's just that it's not convenient to explain at the moment.She smiled, "The matter has not yet come to light. Who is the murderer? I have my own conclusion. I just want to wrong you and stay in the cell for the time being."

He Yao was very impatient, but couldn't produce any evidence to prove himself.

"What's more, Miss He Yao, her road guide was stolen and she can't prove her identity. If she goes out now, she will be caught by a spy at any time. It's better to stay obediently in the cell and wait for the officer to find out everything."

Then what year and month will we have to wait!He Yao thought to herself, originally she planned to believe that the magistrate would see the clue and return her innocence.Looking at it now, even though Yuan Yu seems smart, he is just a poor man, and the position of magistrate bought with money is not secure!

Now, the only person you can trust is yourself!

The Yuan family is not short of money, and the mentality of the nouveau riche is often to like to collect collections, and calligraphy, painting and antiques are their favorite!

Thinking of this, He Yao hurriedly put on a smiling face, pulled Yuan Yu aside, and whispered softly, "My lord, here is a small gift, please accept it."

He Yao took out the picture scroll hidden in his sleeve.Yuan Xi pretended to unfold it carefully, and when he saw the nomination under the painting, his eyes lit up.

Then, he immediately rolled up the painting as if nothing happened, and put it in his sleeve.He coughed a few times and said to the two of them, "Since the suspicion of Miss He Yao is relatively small, she will not be taken into custody, but if the government calls you recently, you must follow suit. If you go out of the city without permission, it is tantamount to admitting your crime! Beheaded at noon , I can’t do without you!”

He Yao was overjoyed immediately, she could find out this matter by herself.Just as he was about to leave, Sikong Sha caught him, "Hey! You can't leave, I've been wronged! Where can I find witnesses if you leave! I can't tell even if I have a hundred mouths!"

"You're more suspicious, but I haven't been harmed enough by you?" He Yao mocked her coldly.

"I really didn't do anything to you!" Sikong Sha still explained to her.Not much else to say.

He Yao pulled her hand away and was about to leave.In desperation, Sikongsha grabbed her, hugged her leg tightly, and did not speak.

Yuan Yu was about to call someone in, when a middle-aged man rushed into the lobby with a servant.

As soon as he saw Yuan Yu, he immediately rushed up, clenched his fists excitedly, "I'm Sikong Lu, I've seen you, my lord!"

Several large boxes were carried in the lobby. Although they were not opened, the muffled sound indicated that the contents inside should be very heavy.

"So it's Master Sikong, no courtesy." Yuan Xi said lightly.

Sikong Sha immediately let go of He Yao, hugged Sikong Lu's thigh and cried, "I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill someone! Second Uncle, help me."

Sikong Lu slapped him over, stunned Sikong Sha, "You unworthy girl, how dare you make trouble! This is the lobby of the government office, and you thought it was your house!"

Sikongsha had no choice but to sit on the ground with tears in his eyes. Seeing her being treated like this made He Yao feel uncomfortable, but he didn't come over, just watched from a distance, to see how Yuan Xi would deal with it.

"My lord, has this little overlord of my family caused any trouble again? Oh, you don't know, she is the only daughter of my elder brother. My elder brother and sister-in-law died early, so I entrusted this child to my care! It's my fault! No Teach this child well, he always causes troubles! You, your lord, have a lot!" Sikong Lu came back to his senses, and immediately put on a smiley face towards Yuan Xi.

"Miss Sikong has provoked a life lawsuit this time. If she really kills someone, no one will be able to save her." Yuan Yan felt his eyes light up as he spoke.There is a yellow-orange-orange color in front of my eyes.

"My lord, this is my next thought! I also came on the day my lord took office, but my lord told us to go back. I didn't have time to give you a small gift, so I'll make it up for you now. Please don't I don't mind." Sikong Lu said.Pointing to a large box of gold bars, he said to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi didn't change his expression, and looked at him in embarrassment.

"My lord, please take a step to speak." Sikong Lu ignored Sikong Sha, but asked Yuan Xi to walk to a secluded place twenty steps away.

No one saw them, so Sikong Lu suddenly knelt down and begged, "My lord! My lord! I beg you, Shasha is my elder brother's only flesh and blood, and he is also the heir of my Sikong mansion! If she dies, I can't face my lord!" Big brother and sister-in-law! My lord, my lord, you have a lot, no matter who dies, I can give his family [-] taels of gold! If it’s not enough, I can add more! I just beg you to be merciful and give Shasha a chance! I can’t stop Brother’s incense!”

Seeing a person who was over fifty years old crying in front of her, Yuan Xi couldn't help feeling emotional, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Si Konglu, but Sikong Lu saw that she seemed to be softening his heart, so he hurriedly grabbed her hands, and continued, "As long as your lord Ken let her go, you saw that box of gold, and I will give you all the other boxes! I know you are Yuan Shi, you are not short of money, but I don’t know how to save her except for money, you Let's make an exception, not to mention that child may not be the real murderer!"

"Master Sikong, I tell you the truth, if Sikongsha kills someone, I can't keep her, and you can't keep her! But since I accept your gift, I have to make it easier for others! There is no conclusive evidence to prove that she killed someone. , According to the law, it needs to be detained, but for your sake, this is good, you sign an agreement, if Sikong Sha leaves Ping'an Jing, you will be punished! If it is found out that the murderer is really her, and she is not here, you will take the blame ! Are you willing?" Yuan Xi said.

Sikong Lu seemed to hesitate, but after a while, he nodded firmly, "Don't worry, if Shasha escapes, I will fight with my life. Now, can I take her home?"

Yuan Yu nodded, clapped his hands, Zhong Zhi fell from the beam, handed over the rice paper, Sikong Lu bit his finger without thinking, and pressed it down.Then he happily bowed to Yuan Yu, took a few steps back, and bowed again, all the way to Sikong Sha's side.

He grabbed Sikong Sha, as if he was afraid that Yuan Xi would go back on his word, and ran away with Sikong Sha in a hurry.

When Yuan Yan looked again, He Yao was gone.

She shook her head, took out the painting from her bosom, put it together with the agreement in her hand, and then tore it up.

Looking at the gold in the room, she really had a headache. What is the use of these metals in the government office.

"Find out all the kinship of Sikong's family, and ignore her for He Yao's side." Yuan Xi said, clapping her hands twice.

Two black shadows on the beam immediately dodged away.
