since your farewell

Being detained by the guards, Situ Che did not resist. She is not a fool, and resisting arrest at this time is a complete admission that she is the murderer.When passing by Zhou Nan, she still paused and said stubbornly,

"not me".

Zhou Nan didn't respond to her. In fact, she didn't have any doubts before entering this room. After all, it was a fact that Situ Che killed Xu Changqing in front of her eyes. How could she not be angry after being used for so long?

But after seeing her with his own eyes, uncontrollably, the balance in his heart has been tilted.

The trap designed by the other party was perfect, but everything went too far. She really shouldn't have been accused of raping/prostitution/women/female.

Or rather, he had to do this to hold her back.

Thinking about it again, there are actually many doubts.

Her martial arts are so high, if she wants to do it, she can do it easily, why would she choose to be in full view of the public?Even with Jia Yunqing's false identity, wouldn't he be afraid of beheading her in public in a fit of anger?With the relationship between them, Jia Yunqing couldn't afford to gamble.

Secondly, today's mask has the effect of confusing the public. Everyone only sees Jia Yunqing wearing a mask murdering and setting fire, but this "Jia Yunqing" did not say a word in front of me, which is very suspicious, but I thought she did not catch it. The man in black was in a low mood.

At that time, "Jia Yunqing" obviously went straight to Xu Changqing's house to kill people, but she herself never heard the subsequent conversation. How could she know that Xu Changqing and Xu Zhi were the same person?If she had known earlier, she could have done it last night.

But these are not enough, because that person's martial arts are not bad, and the method of killing Xu Changqing is similar to hers. Besides, the most important thing is - if it is really not her, how did the murderer get out of this room Woolen cloth?

At that time, she came in from the outside, and until now, she has never seen other people leave.

"Princess, Jia Yunqing has committed a lot of crimes, if he doesn't beheaded in the street, it will be hard to convince everyone!"

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I dare not",

Qiu Ye lowered his head, and he also realized that he was too eager, fearing that he might offend the princess.

Fortunately, Zhou Nan's order was timely, and Li Wencai took people to put out the fire. The village was not greatly impacted, and everyone was rescued. In order not to arouse public anger and panic, Zhou Nan issued an order not to let this matter go. spread out.

Qiu Ye dared not speak out, and Li Wencai, as an official of the imperial court, naturally did not dare to speak nonsense, but everyone believed that the murderer was Jia Yunqing, and Zhou Nan managed to temporarily save Situ Che's life under great pressure.

Bringing the woman back to the county seat, Zhou Nan asked her again and again what happened that day. The woman cried and insisted that Situ Che tore her clothes and wanted to rape/violate her. .

Mingyue became angry when she heard this. She hated Jia Yunqing to the core, and couldn't understand why the princess supported the scum, but when Zhou Nan told her that "Jia Yunqing" was a woman, her attitude changed.

Why can't she reveal her gender to the public, Da Zhou has laws - all punishments for concealing her gender and pretending to be someone else's identity.Situ Che violated two death orders at a time, and there will be no good end if he says it or not. Doesn't this make people miserable?

"You have to think about it. The one sitting in front of you is the eldest princess. If you lie, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Losing your head is not enough!"

Frightened by Mingyue's words, the woman's expression loosened a little. Zhou Nan guessed that Situ Che was held back by the woman, which meant that the woman could prove that it was impossible for her to get away and kill Xu Zhi.

"If you have any scruples, you can talk to Ben Gong, and Ben Gong will make the decision for you, as long as you are willing to tell the truth."

But the woman just hesitated for a moment, then bit Jia Yunqing to death just to rape/sexualize her, and said many frivolous words to tease her and threaten her.

Zhou Nan's face was a little ugly.

Situ Che was not much better either. She changed her prison clothes and was locked in a dark cell. The cell was wet, damp, dirty and messy. None of these things were the most frightening. The frightening thing was that no one would believe her, especially...

It would be a lie to say that it is not uncomfortable.

She was still talking to the princess about who was the murderer last night, but she was imprisoned in the name of the murderer tonight. It was too dramatic. From this point of view, the other party is also a smart person, which is a bit interesting.

There were rustling footsteps outside, and Situ Che casually sat against the wall with his long legs half-bent, his movements so lazily that they didn't match her prison clothes.

After the man came in, he opened the lock with a wire.

"Major General, let's eat something",

"Ok".

Situ Che took the lunch box and started to eat. She had been locked up for a whole day, and no one gave her food. The jailer scolded her, and she didn't have a good face. It must be Qiu Ye who greeted her in advance. I want to make her feel better.

Seeing her so distressed, Qingfeng felt so distressed. When did her general become so downcast? He was already thin, but now he looks like a straight bamboo stick.

"Major General, let's run and bring Jia Yunqing back."

Situ Che raised his eyebrows, her subordinates really dare to think, speak and act,

"Where did you get him?"

"In the inn, the subordinates are watching every day, so it's no problem to put him in."

Qingfeng took the real Jia Yunqing, and whenever he was about to wake up, he would knock him out again with a sap.

"no".

"why?"

Qingfeng was very puzzled, she thought she had done her best, if the general hadn't said that she couldn't kill people, she would have washed Li's house with blood, and she would just be convicted of this crime, those who framed the general are not good people.

"He will die".

Jia Yunqing didn't do any heinous things other than flattering the princess, so he wouldn't let him take the blame and die for him. How is this different from the real murderer?

"But--"

"What's the news outside?"

"The official statement is that the arsonist is at large."

Seeing her laughing suddenly, Qingfeng couldn't help but wonder if the major general was being locked up. How could she still laugh at this moment?

"Then I can't run away, otherwise how can I live up to this trust?"

Unable to understand what she was saying, Qingfeng resisted the idea of ​​knocking her out and taking her away—unfortunately, he was not the general's opponent.

"Okay, Qingfeng, you leave here quickly, there is something to do right away, I'm really hopeless if it's too late..."

As soon as Qingfeng stepped out of the cell, two other people came in behind.

This time Situ straightened his body and sat upright.

"Come and eat",

The voice was clear and powerful, but it sounded very pleasant to the ears of the aggrieved major general.

"Thank you princess",

She secretly touched her stomach, but fortunately she didn't have the habit of overeating, she was thankful, and then started to gobble it up.

The baggy prison clothes sting slightly, but Zhou Nan has nothing to do now.

Mingyue couldn't help rolling her eyes, but she was not polite, she would eat it!

"You don't have anything to say?"

"If you die, you have to be a dead ghost",

Situ Che swallowed his food and said vaguely.

Zhou Nan was obviously a little angry because of this sentence, and sneered, she didn't care about her own life, so why would she need other people's care and help?

Seeing the gentle yet resolute figure disappear from sight, Situ Che lowered his head and lost his appetite. She didn't mean to drive her away on purpose, but this cell is too unsafe, and there are enough rumors about the princess. I don't want to add another "covering criminals", although it doesn't make any difference to Zhou Nan.

"This guy doesn't know good from bad, princess, don't be angry with her, it's not worth hurting her body",

Mingyue was a little annoyed, it seems that women are not all good things!

Even so, Zhou Nan still didn't plan to send her to the execution ground, not to mention that she was wronged, he hadn't found Changhong yet, and Qiu Ye had bad intentions.

Even if it is an extra insult, she will take him away, just... for Changhong.

As soon as the two of them returned to the mansion, they saw black smoke billowing and flames everywhere. Damn it, it's coming again.

Zhou Nan thought that the woman was still in the room, and she was about to go to the courtyard to save others by herself.

"Princess can't!"

Mingyue hugged her waist desperately, and would not let go even if she was beaten to death.

"If something happens to her, she will die without proof,"

"That can't be you going in",

Mingyue's attitude is firm, regardless of whether Jia Yunqing is male or female, dead or alive, her life is incomparable to the safety of the princess.

Zheng Rong and the others arrived in time and took the initiative to go in to save people, and Mingyue stopped. She was probably the first maid in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty who dared to sternly refuse and force the princess.

There is a tacit understanding with Master Li's mansion is Situ Che's prison cell, which is also ablaze, and there are a group of men in black, all masters, this row is worthy of her martial arts.

No wonder, the major general himself demonstrated for them what it means to seal the throat with a sword. Of course, there is a tuition fee for the demonstration, and a glance is probably worth...a life.

Thanks to the preparations, the fire in the prison was quickly extinguished. Situ Che opened the prison door with ease, and after entering, he put the lock back into place, sat down against the wall, and went in and out of the house.

It was a very hard night for Qingfeng - she had to keep transporting the charred corpses of killers outside the cell to Li's Mansion, but she was also very excited - finally she could happily set a fire in Li's Mansion, This is what the general agreed to.

It was not so easy for Zhou Nan,

"You said that woman is missing?"

"Yes",

A layer of cold sweat oozes from Zheng Rong's forehead, because the princess's expression is very cold now, the kind that is so cold in his heart.

"Have someone light a fire under your eyes, twice",

There was no emotion in her words, but it made people feel strongly oppressed, like black clouds pressing down on the city, and a storm was about to come.

This is his sweetheart, he doesn't want to be underestimated by her,

"Last time... Last time it was Mr. Jia, the minister was negligent—"

"What about this time? She was staying in prison, how did she come out and set fire? How do you explain the corpses of those men in black?"

Zhou Nan glanced at him with sharp eyes.

"Maybe... maybe her accomplice",

He was under tremendous pressure, but what he thought about was the princess's questioning, was it for the case itself, or the person in the cell?

Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but find excuses for Jia Yunqing's murder.

"The accomplices jumped into the sea of ​​fire together?"

Zhou Nan's gaze was a bit complicated. She didn't think he couldn't see the current situation, but she didn't expect that he had racked his brains and determined that the man was the murderer. Wouldn't that man be secretly sad?

Zheng Rong understood that the real culprit of the arson had not been caught yet, they wanted to kill the only witness, but they were accidentally swallowed by the flames, and all of this had nothing to do with Jia Yunqing in the prison.

This is what the princess meant, the commander of the imperial army felt a little bitter.

They can’t be blamed for drawing this conclusion. It’s because Situ Che’s swordsmanship is terrifying. It’s not that the guards haven’t checked the charred corpses, but they didn’t find any obvious wounds on them, so they decided that the man in black was burnt. dead.

"Princess, Mr. Jia is indeed sitting peacefully in the prison",

The people sent by Li Wencai gave accurate information.

Zhou Nan was a little relieved,

"Is there anything unusual in the cell?"

"No, everything is fine".

At night, Mingyue was worried that the princess would be alone and insisted on staying with her in the room.After the house caught fire, Li Wencai did not dare to neglect, and arranged another room for the princess, and Zheng Rong stepped up his defenses.

With so many people watching, Zhou Nan still slept very restlessly. The woman was taken away by the murderer. No one can testify to Jia Yunqing, but——

"I don't",

"not me".

The person who spoke in the dream was changed, that person was only twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in a white shirt, with bright eyes and white teeth, and when he smiled, his eyes were crooked, as if they were filled with brilliant stars.

In the middle of the night, there are two figures hiding in an unnoticed corner,

"The fire should be in the cell, not in the house."

This person's voice was low, as if hiding strong anger, while the other person lowered his head and dared not speak.

"She's still alive, but she's gone. If you did two things wrong, what should you do?"

"Subordinates should be damned, master, please give your subordinates another chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, and do it yourself",

"You are not her match".

The person in the shadow sneered, this fire should have burned Jia Yunqing to death, but now she is alive and well, and even let people burn down Li's house, took the woman away by himself, and put the blame on them,

"It was because she was too cunning that we failed to kill her and were planted by her in turn."

"I don't know why the princess believes her so much",

If Zhou Nan hadn't stopped him and killed Jia Yunqing in public, there would be no troubles at all.

The man was silent for a moment,

"Send someone to watch the cell, we must find that woman, she can't stay",

"Yes".
