The light from the lantern gradually fell on Jing Xuan.
She stayed where she was, her eyes hidden under her hat looking at the man standing in front of her with a lantern and a sackcloth sackcloth.
The man looks clean!
A scholarly temperament.
Harmless to humans and animals.
Song Zhi then raised the lantern higher.
But the person in front of her was dressed in a black cloak, and she could only see her chin and a tightly pressed lip.
An invisible face girl
Why are you here in the middle of the night
Still so mysterious
This person... Could it be... not human
A strange thought took over Song Zhi's brain.
His hands tightened involuntarily.
It is said that the minds of readers are very rich in thinking, and they are not wrong at all.
What's more, he was a playbook writer before.
Naturally, it is different from others.
"You..." Are you a human or a ghost? As soon as these words reached Song Zhi's mouth, he quickly swallowed them back, and then asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Jing Xuan clasped her arms tightly, her body shivering from the cold wind.
She couldn't believe the people in front of her!
It is not clear whether it is friend or foe.
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Song Zhi frowned and said patiently, "Why is the girl here alone so late? Strangers rarely come in in this alley, even in the daytime, no one walks around. Who are you looking for? I said, I'll call him out for you."
"I… "
alert.
"Girl but it doesn't matter."
Jing Xuan pursed her lips and was about to speak—
"Master Song, who are you talking to?"
Lang Bo's voice came from the door.
Song Zhi looked back and saw Lang Bo's tall and sturdy body blocking the door.
He explained: "There is a girl here who said she was looking for someone, but she didn't say who she was looking for."
"girl?"
Lang Bo was curious and walked out from the door.
After resting for this period of time, the wound on his arm has healed.
When Jing Xuan heard the familiar voice, she lifted her eyes from under her hat, and saw a figure approaching.
After taking a closer look, I realized that it was Lang Bo.
She was immediately excited: "Brother Lang?"
Brother Lang
Lang Bo shook his head and looked at the figure in the darkness.
Until Jing Xuan exposed his face a little bit from under the black bucket hat, his eyes widened in shock: "Pub... girl, how is it you?"
I almost called out to the princess, but fortunately she closed her mouth in time.
Song Zhi stood aside, it turned out that Lang Bo knew this girl, and she was his own!
Therefore, he retreated to one side and moved the lantern in his hand closer.
Lang Bo stepped forward and couldn't believe it: "Girl... how could it be you? Why are you here? You shouldn't... "
Jing Xuan blocked his words: "It's a long story."
"You are here to find the son."
if not
Jing Xuan nodded.
"There's such a heavy snow outside, hurry up, hurry in with me."
Lang Bo hurriedly led Jing Xuan to the house.
Song Zhi followed behind with a lantern.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu didn't expect her to come here.
All shocked!
Several people chatted together.
Jing Xuan took off her bucket hat, revealing a worried face.
"Xuan'er? Why are you here?" Jing Rong was confused.
Jing Xuan clasped her hands tightly and said anxiously, "I sneaked out of the palace, but I can't stay longer. I have to go back before dawn, otherwise, if someone finds out, it will definitely cause trouble."
"What the hell happened? Did the Third Prince..." Beat you again
"No, I'm fine." With tears in her haggard eyes, she looked at Jingrong, "I'm here because I want you to take me to meet someone."
Explain the purpose!
Jing Rong's brow wrinkled lightly, the person who could make Jing Xuan risk her escape from the palace.
who is it
He asked, "Who do you want to see?"
"Gong Shilin."
The name suddenly silenced the people in the room.
"How did you know him?" Jing Rong asked.
"During my stay in the Three Kings Mansion, he helped me a lot. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be standing here. He and I are benefactors."
If it wasn't for Gong Shilin, she might have been beaten to death by Natuo long ago.
As for the ins and outs of this, Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu were not involved at all.
Naturally do not know.
Ji Yunshu asked, "He was the murderer of Du Mubai. He is now in the prison of the Ministry of Justice! What do you want to see him for?"
Jing Xuan said, "I accidentally... overheard the conversation between the Marquis of Pingyang and the Third Prince. I think they... plan to abandon the car to protect the handsome."
Abandon the car to protect handsome!
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong looked at each other.
Jing Rong: "Actually, this result was in my expectation. Anyone who dares to touch this case now will be killed."
After saying this, Jing Xuan became anxious: "Is there really no other way? Brother Huang, Gong Shilin must have difficulties. He won't kill anyone casually. Brother Huang, save him."
"Save? How do you want me to save?"
"… "
Yes!
How could Jing Rong save him
Jing Xuan looked desperate.
Things that even the Third Prince can't control is like being powerless! She trembled slightly, and fell two steps back weakly, tears welling up in her eyes, and choked out: "If that's the case, let me see him, I have something to say to him, I'm afraid if I don't say it again, I'm afraid I will never say it again in this life. There will be no chance." She grabbed Jingrong's hand and pleaded, "Brother Huang, you bring
I'll go see him. "
Seeing her like this, Jing Rong was very distressed, but there was a bit of embarrassment: "He is now in the Punishment Department, and he is a repeat offender! The Punishment Department will definitely be strictly guarded, and it is not easy to meet each other."
"There's always a way, right?"
"Xuan'er..."
"I won't delay for long, Brother Huang, please help me."
Jing Rong was silent.
After thinking about it, Ji Yunshu hurriedly said: "Jing Xuan, going to the Ministry of Punishment at this time will arouse suspicion. Besides, you have to think clearly, if you are discovered by that time, the consequences will be disastrous. He escaped in the middle of the night to meet other men in the Punishment Department, and it was rumored that it was
certain death. "
Jing Xuan couldn't care less.
She said firmly: "I'm not afraid! No matter what the consequences are, I'm willing to bear it. Even if I die, I want to see him, please help me."
Ji Yunshu was also undecided.
Although she disagreed, the final decision was in Jing Rong's hands.
half an hour—
Jing Rong said, "Okay, I'll take you to see him."
…
The heavy snowfall at night always fell quickly, and densely shrouded the entire Gaoding City.
Jing Rong changed into the attire of a city guard, and led a small guard behind him.
The two braved the heavy snow and came all the way to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
The prison guard at the door stopped him.
"What are you doing here?"
Not in a hurry, Jing Rong took out the token that Li Cheng had previously given to Ji Yunshu's city department, showed it to the man, and said, "On the order of Lord Li, I'm here to ask Gong Shilin for questioning."
The jailer took the sign and looked at it in his hand.
It is indeed from the City Department!
He handed the sign back and said, "Gong Shilin is a criminal now, why did the city department send someone to investigate so late?"
Jing Rong is serious: "The case is urgent, and many places need to be re-examined. It must not be sloppy, and there will be no time."
"That's true." The jailer thought for a while and looked at the two in front of him.
One is tall and the other is thin.
If it is a prison, it will not be.
So, let your guard down.
"Okay, let's go in."
Jing Rong walked in with the little guard behind him, but just after taking two steps, he was stopped by the jailer.
"Wait a moment!"
When the little guard heard this, he was stunned all over. He stayed where he was and didn't dare to move. He held his breath and didn't dare to let out the air, so he had to lower his head a little deeper.
A pair of hands, tightly twisted together inside the placket.
Jing Rong immediately turned around, blocked the little guard behind him, and asked the jailer, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with this token?"
The jailer looked at him, narrowed his eyes, and looked him up and down.
Afterwards, he doubted: "There's nothing wrong with this token, it's just that I see you... How come you are familiar? It seems like I've seen it somewhere before." Uh!
