Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 68

[68. Sixty-seven chapters]

This is the implication of the anti-theft chapter. Nowadays, everyone is in danger, no one will think of you, and you can rest in peace.

Emperor Jing Yuan was slaughter in his early years. Since this matter has been considered a crime, the dust should be settled.

After hearing this, Su Jin asked, “Master Liu, is there really no room for turning this case around?” Liu Chaoming

glanced at her and said, “What?”

If you want to take care of the business that the emperor and Laozi don’t care about, you are not afraid to explain your life.

The white-haired man is only a low-ranking official. He has no official position, and no ancestors. Even if there are several northern ministers behind him, most of them are low-ranking officials. How can you say that even the emperor doesn’t care about this matter?

Who is the Emperor Laozi?

Su Jin said: “Xiaguan felt very strange when he heard this sentence. He intuitively felt that there must be someone hiding behind him, otherwise he would not be so dignified.”

Liu Chaoming also remembered what Zhao Yan said earlier – Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple. A title of the fifth grade, right?

Different people sing different plays, and they have the same effect.

This must be no coincidence.

He couldn’t help but glance at Su Jin again, it was a pity that the pearl was covered in dust and wasted years.

No wonder the old imperial censor had to keep her whatever he said back then.

Liu Chaoming’s tone was as calm as water: “Do you know why your injury has not healed?”

Su Jinnahan.

“Worrying too much, this is one of them; the other is that it will cause trouble.”

Su Jin was stunned for a moment, and realized what he meant, and the vastness between his brows dissipated a lot in an instant.

“Xiaguan has caused more than one or two troubles to the adults. The able-bodied adults have worked hard, and Xiaguan pointed at the adults and laughed at them.”

Liu Chaoming did not say good or bad, turned his head to look at the sky, Stand up and leave.

Su Jin added: “Sir, Xieguan thinks that the word Xie is too much to say, so I would like to ask the Lord to keep an account book for Xiaguan. If there is any trouble, the Lord will add a few strokes, and Xieguan is also in his heart. Remember, it will be doubled in the future.”

Liu Chaoming knew that she was accustomed to flattery and condescension, which was not serious, but when he turned around, he saw a serious matter in Su Jin’s brows.

He was silent for a while, but after a while, there was a faint smile on his lips: “I’m afraid you can’t afford it.”

Before Su Jin had rested for a while, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

It was a fresh servant with a tray in his hand, and said to Su Jin: “Lord Governor, Lord Liu just said that you were injured, and ordered the miscellaneous family to boil a bowl of medicine and send it.”

Su Jin said: “It’s work.” Put it on the table over the tray.

The waiter paused and said, “Lord Governor, don’t blame Zajia for being sloppy, this medicine should be eaten while it’s hot, it won’t work when it’s cold.”

Su Jin nodded and picked up the medicine bowl, suddenly feeling that it was not big. Right.

It is said that she came to the Supreme Court in two hours. Few people knew the news. Liu Chaoming wanted to order someone to make medicine for her, so why not find someone from the Supreme Court, but a servant?

It was the first time I saw this servant. This servant should have asked, “Is Your Excellency the Governor Su of the Capital Yamen?”, but he not only didn’t ask, but seemed to recognize her.

Su Jin said: “Just now I mentioned to Master Liu that my chest was stuffy, and I felt that I had contracted a fever. Master Liu said that I wanted to use Huanglian to solve it, but I boiled it in this bowl of medicine?

” , good medicine is bitter, adults will not feel bored after taking the medicine.”

Su Jin’s heart sank, and he slowly brought the medicine to his mouth. Suddenly, he wondered, “Excuse me, father-in-law, I have a different tongue coating since I was little, and I can’t eat the bitter taste. Please ask father-in-law to help me find two candied fruits.” The

servant hesitated for a moment . , said: “It’s done, the miscellaneous family will come when you go.”

Su Jin came to the door quietly, and when the servant disappeared at the end of the porch, she immediately dodged out and hurriedly walked in the other direction.

Su Jin didn’t know who wanted to harm her.

But she knew that with a small servant alone, she couldn’t come and go freely in this heavily guarded courthouse.

Behind this servant, someone must have instructed him, and he should be a person with considerable power who can put people in the Supreme Court.

It is impossible to stay in this palace. Since “that person” can send an internal servant to the Imperial Court, then he can send people into every corner of the palace to find her.

Why don’t you run into the hands of the patrolling guards and seek safety?

No way, Su Jin thought, maybe which guard is a hidden stake, if you hit it by yourself, wouldn’t you just throw yourself into the net?

The only thing that is fortunate is that the person who wants to kill her is probably also afraid of the Supreme Court, otherwise he will send someone to do it on the spot instead of poisoning.

Since you are afraid of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, why did you choose to poison the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

She is only a governor of the capital’s yamen. If you want to kill her, wouldn’t it be better while she is outside the palace?

Is there something that makes him have to do it at this moment?

The overdrawn body has begun to refuse to obey, every step is like stepping on the cloud, and the tiredness will pull out the pain hidden in the bones like a thread, infiltrating every inch of bone and blood.

But Su Jin couldn’t care about it. She carefully recalled what happened from yesterday to this morning.

Yesterday morning, Ren Xuan first came to visit her, and then she asked Zhou Ping to get a hand letter from the Ministry of Punishment to enter the palace; after seeing the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, she went to Zhan Shifu, where Liu Chaoming burned the policy and saved her life. Afterwards, he went to Zhu Nanxian’s palace to meet Shen Kui, a prisoner on death row, returned to the capital’s yamen, and was taken back to the Imperial Court by Zhao Yan. And the last person she saw was Liu Chaoming.

Just half an hour ago, she told Liu Chaoming that there might be someone behind the troubles.

Could it be that “that person” wanted to kill her because she noticed the clue that the official was making trouble?

This is also not right.

Su Jin recalled the day of the trouble, when she asked the white shirt, “I don’t care about the emperor, what do you mean”, the white shirt was already murderous.

If this is the most important thing, then after the trouble, she was in the capital Yamen for many days to recover, why didn’t the person behind her send someone to get rid of her at that time?

There must be something more important that she missed.

A thought popped out of his mind in an instant – yes, it’s Chao Qing’s case!

If she said what she said, what she did, and what she should not have blocked these days, it would only be Chao Qing’s case.

And from yesterday to this morning, after she inquired about Chao Qing’s disappearance from Zhu Nanxian’s mansion, the only moment she was alone was when Liu Chaoming left the duty room.

And Liu Chaoming left less than half a moment, the servant who delivered the medicine came.

This shows that there may be someone who has been staring at her since she went to Zhu Nanxian’s mansion. No, maybe earlier, from the time she started investigating Chao’s case, she started staring at her.

Since the case of Shizi’s trouble, there is someone hiding behind it; and the case of Chao Qing’s disappearance, there is also a powerful person behind it. So, are these two cases related?

Su Jin felt that all the clues had finally become a thread today. Although there were many speculations to be confirmed, she finally knew where to start.

There are many palaces and pavilions, and every rockery seems to be hiding behind a person. Su Jin can even hear the footsteps chasing behind him.

She rounded a corner, and there were two paths in front of her. One led to Chengtian Gate, and after passing through Chengtian Gate, she could leave the palace, but in front of Chengtian Gate was the endless Xuanyuan Terrace. The second road leads to Gongqianyuan, where flowers, trees and vegetation are overgrown. If you hide in it, although it is not easy to be discovered, it will take time and effort to deal with it.

Her physical strength was running out, and the severe pain from the old injury was like a big hand, stirring her internal organs upside down.

Su Jin thought about it, and immediately walked in the direction of Chengtianmen.

As soon as she was an eighth-rank junior official, the other party might not think that she could escape from the palace, and she might not necessarily set up an ambush outside the palace, so as long as she could pass through Xuanyuantai smoothly, she would be temporarily safe.

Su Jin shook hands into fists, that’s all, and fought for his own life.

Zhu Nanxian had just returned to the palace, and was unloading his horse from Chengtianmen. From a distance, he saw a figure walking towards him on Xuanyuan Terrace, and someone was chasing her behind him. It seemed that the intention was not good.

The man seemed to be very tired, and seemed to be injured. He staggered, but was very firm. He supported the stone pillars of Yunji Bridge and walked forward step by step. Even with the sound of swords killing him, he never turned back timidly.

Zhu Nanxian was stunned for a while, but suddenly, he found that this firm appearance seemed familiar.

He took a step forward and called out, “Su Shiyu?” But

Su Jin didn’t hear it.

Zhu Nanxian shouted again: “Su Shiyu—”

Su Jin felt that she could no longer walk, she tried her last strength to support the stone pillar of Yunji Bridge, trying her best not to let herself fall.

In a trance, she seemed to hear someone calling her, but when she turned her head, it was dark and she couldn’t see anything clearly.

There was finally a hint of bitter helplessness in my heart.

Su Jin thought, so be it.

Zhu Nanxian ran over desperately, but a corner of Su Jin’s clothes was rubbing the back of his hand by an inch.

He watched helplessly as she fell back into the Yunji River and jumped down without a moment’s pause.

As soon as dawn broke, the cold Yunji River flooded Zhu Nanxian’s mouth and nose, and the night was finally over.

He hooked Su Jin’s wrist and pulled her into his arms with all his strength. His clothes were already messy by the river, and Su Jin’s shirt fell off his shoulders, revealing his thin collarbone.

Zhu Nanxian pushed her ashore, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a slight strangeness in his palm.

He moved his hands away in a daze, landed on the shore in a daze, and then fell down beside Su Jin, staring blankly at the faintly visible straps on the chest of her shirt.

The predicament that had been lingering in Zhu Nanxian’s mind for several years finally exploded at this moment.

Su Jin didn’t know who was going to attack her. Before she fell asleep, she thought about carefully sorting out the clues at hand, but as soon as her head touched the porcelain pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.

She was so tired that she fell asleep with a lot of emotions, and she almost had no dreams all night.

In the blink of an eye, only the sound of boundless rain could be heard, which echoed Liu Chaoming’s sentence, “Su Shiyu, you may wish to come to the Imperial Court and follow this official from now on to be a censor who will set things right and keep his heart as he is.”

She didn’t answer.

Not unwilling.

It was only from the moment she decided to embark on a career, that the vast road ahead was no longer a tune. When Liu Chaoming asked this question, it was as if someone suddenly took a piece of bamboo to tune the tune for her, plucked the sine, and said that this song should be played. .

Su Jin didn’t know whether he would go further and further away in the long run, or would he be able to find a new way in the uninhabited place.

The next morning, Zhao Yan came to the duty room to ask Liu Chaoming to discuss the twelfth censor’s plan (note), knocked on the door of the compartment, but it was Su Jin who came out.

Zhao Yan was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the compartment.

Su Jin bowed to him: “Did Master Zhao come to find Master Liu? He has already gone to court.”

Zhao Yan nodded, although he felt that his mind was full of filth, he couldn’t help but ask: “Did you meet Liu last night? Lord resting in one place?”

Su Jin was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said: “Master Zhao misunderstood, last night Master Liu said that there was an urgent case to be handled, and he did not rest in the duty room, and Xiaguan also bumped into him after getting up this morning and came back to get the file. , only then did I know that he has gone to court.”

Zhao Yan looked serious: “Oh, that’s not what I meant, it’s just that I’m a little worried about the letter from the Minister of Justice early in the morning.”

He said this, but his heart was actually relieved in one breath.

He presided over the affairs of the Metropolitan Court last night, and he planned to arrange a residence for Su Jin here, but who knew that there were so many things at the time, he didn’t care about her for a while, and when he turned to look for her again, the person was gone.

Liu Chaoming cares about Su Jin, Zhao Yan sees it, Zhu Nanxian cares about Su Jin, Zhao Yan also sees it.

Zhao Yan thought, fortunately, the heart is not the heart.

Otherwise, if Lord Zuodu Censor loses his reputation because he didn’t arrange a good place to live, he would be guilty of a big crime.

Zhao Yan breathed out slowly, stepped out of the duty room, and saw Liu Chaoming walking over with a cup of tea, he couldn’t help asking, “What urgent case did you handle last night, why did you let Su Jin stay with you all night? Didn’t the letter from the General Secretary arrived this morning?”

Liu Chaoming took a sip of tea: “It’s nothing urgent, I’m trying to deceive him.” Seeing Zhao Yan’s surprise, he added, “Otherwise, why would he rest here in peace? It ‘s over.”

Zhao Yan was stunned: “Then where did you sleep last night?”

Liu Chaoming glanced at the duty room: “I didn’t sleep much, I was tired from looking at the file, so I took a nap on the desk, and woke up at the fourth watch. It’s over.”

Zhao Yan felt that the breath he had just exhaled was lifted from his chest again.

While the two were talking, three people came to the corridor of the Metropolitan Court. The first one was wearing a flying fish suit with a spring knife embroidered on his belt. It was actually Wei Jiang, the commander of Jin Yiwei.

When Wei Jiang saw Liu Chaoming, he bowed his hands first: “Master Liu, dare to ask Governor Su of the Capital Yamen to be tried in the Supreme Court? Can I borrow it to the Zhenfu Division for half a day?”
