Chapter 81 Tacit understanding
of nature
The two of them stopped eating and left as soon as they said they could leave.
Tan Wu Su was stunned. For Xiao Ying, he specially cooked two more dishes. Now, it is cheaper for the father and son.
Seeing that the father and son were soaked in their mouths, Tan Wusu hurried forward and grabbed one more bite.
When they arrived at the yamen, Lin Wei and others looked a little uncomfortable when they saw Xiao Ying. But the yamen looked no different from usual.
Xiao Ying casually asked where Captain Jia was.
Lin Wei replied that Captain Jia’s youngest daughter was sick today and he was taking care of her at home.
Xiao Ying nodded, thinking that the more rude the man, the more he seemed to love his daughter...
At this time, the little scholar hurriedly turned out from the back hall and was obviously shocked when he saw Xiao Ying.
Then he turned around without saying a word and actually ran away in panic.
If he was like usual, Xiao Ying would not be suspicious, but Wu Wenjing's expression was like this place without any silver. "Little scholar...Brother Wu." Wu Wenjing wanted to pretend that he couldn't hear it, because Xiao Ying's voice called Brother Wu so that everyone inside and outside the hall looked at Wu Wenjing. The thin-skinned little scholar instantly blushed.
"Miss Xiao, what's the matter?"
"Brother Wu, why are you running away? Am I a beast?"
Wu Wenjing shook her head repeatedly and racked her brains to think of a solution. "Mr. Miao called me if you have something to do, and I was a little anxious, so I didn't notice you... If it's okay, I'll go to see Mr. Miao first."
Xiao Ying nodded, and the little scholar showed a look of relief on his face. But Xiao Ying's next sentence made the little scholar almost trip over the threshold.
Xiao Ying said that she happened to report to Lord Miao if she had something to do, so she would go with Wu Wenjing.
The little scholar looked bitter.
He wouldn't have lie at all. He would just blush when he told a lie. But Xiao Ying was as conscious as he could see the fire and would not give him a chance to be careless.
"Brother Wu, Grandma Wu said that you have never lie since you were a child. I know you are in a difficult situation. I will only ask you one question. Just nod or shake your head to respond...
Is Yin Jiuming here? Where is he now? In the study of Miao County Magistrate? Or... in prison?"
Wu Wenjing wanted to shake her head, but in the end she showed a helpless look.
So what if he shook his head, he couldn't hide any secrets in front of Xiao Ying.
"Miss Xiao, you'd better not go to prison. Mr. Yin said you worked hard until the second half of the night last night, and you were on a day off today. Why are you still here?"
"If you don't come, how can you know you are doing things behind my back..." I couldn't say that I was angry, but I felt very uncomfortable.
Xiao Ying hates this feeling of being excluded.
She was involved in the case from beginning to end. Seeing the dawn, she wanted to reject her from a thousand miles away. If she followed Yin Jiuming's words and rested at home obediently, would she come to the yamen early tomorrow morning and the case had been solved?
The heroes naturally have no share in her.
She actually didn't care whether she had made meritorious service. She just wanted to catch the murderer and solve the beauty case so that the girls in Fuyang City would no longer have to worry.
"No. It's not like that... Don't doubt Brother Yin. I don't know how to tell you. If you don't believe it, go and see it yourself."
Xiao Ying turned around and planned to go to the prison to take a look.
"...Don't tell Brother Yin that I said it. I'm a little afraid of him..."
Nie Xuan patted Wu Wenjing on the shoulder as comforted, and was glad that he didn't have to bear the anger directly from Xiao Ying.
Is it a girl with a better temper on weekdays that she gets angry?
Nie Xuan decided that he would only follow Xiao Ying to protect her today and would never say a word to her.
Xiao Ying went in and out of the county government all day long and became familiar with the servants.
After giving a few broken silver, he easily entered the prison gate. After entering the door, there were two roads on the left and the male prisoner on the left and female prisoner on the right.
Xiao Ying was a little hesitant. Nie Xuan stood quietly behind Xiao Ying, without making any noise to interfere with Xiao Ying. With his ears, he could actually tell where Xiao Ying wanted to see.
He actually wanted to see if Xiao Ying and Yin Jiuming... had a so-called tacit understanding.
The answer is: Yes.
Xiao Ying finally turned to the left, which was the direction of the male prisoner.
Nie Xuan sighed lightly and followed. In fact, there were some things that Nie Xuan himself couldn't understand.
If he had chosen Xiao Ying in order to escape at first. Yin Jiuming obviously had no intention of making things difficult for him afterwards, and he would have been able to leave Xiao Ying long ago. Fuyang City said it was not big or small, and if he didn't want to see Xiao Ying, they might not be able to meet in their entire life.
But he didn't.
He moved into a yard with Xiao Ying silently.
In silence, he obeyed Yin Jiuming in front of Xiao Ying's guards for the first time... Yin Jiuming asked him to do his best to protect Xiao Ying, and he nodded.
It's not because of Yin Jiuming, but because this is what he wants to do.
Last night, he closed his eyes until he confirmed that Xiao Ying was safe.
This morning, before Xiao Ying woke up, he got up early and searched the yard carefully to ensure that no one could harm Xiao Ying in secret.
Every step is one step closer to the male prisoner.
County Magistrate Miao was Kuanren and always cautious about detention, so anyone who was imprisoned was extremely guilty and unbearable.
These people are lawless outside, even if they are imprisoned, they are not stable.
As long as someone passes by, they will clamor and be whipped by the prison guards before they will be honest. If they see a girl coming here... they will be even more destined and they will have to ask for some advantage. But today... Nie Xuan is wary all the way, holding his hands on the hilt of the sword. If someone dares to be unreasonable to Xiao Ying, he doesn't mind cutting off their tongues.
But no.
No one.
It’s not that I remember that there is no prisoner locked in my mind, but that those prisoners are honest and overdoing today.
They all hurried on the straw, and didn't dare to look up at the aisle.
Xiao Ying didn't know what this place should look like, but Nie Xuan knew, so the more he walked in, the more he felt his heart beat faster. It seemed that he was in a strange feeling.
It seemed as if something would happen at any time, and he had to be on guard all the time.
He seemed to want to pull Xiao Ying desperately and turn around and leave.
However, in the end, he did nothing and just followed Xiao Ying silently.
Xiao Ying and Nie Xuan rarely admire others, but he admired Xiao Ying a little. He was younger than him, but he was calm in his work.
Walking in such a gloomy aisle.
There were infamous prisoners on both sides, but she still took a steady step.
Step by step, there was almost no sign of anything unusual.
It was as if she was walking not in the prison aisle, but in the sunshine, surrounded by crowds... "Aying, let's go out and wait." The roar could be heard, and it was almost like a human sound.
Nie Xuan vaguely understood why these prisoners were so quiet.
Anyone who hears such a voice will feel heartbroken and then be honest. Because these people don’t know if they will become the next one.
