Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 210
Zhou Fuyin also knew that this matter was not that simple, but neither of them could afford to suffer.

Shen Lanze was the number one scholar in the dynasty and held the token bestowed by the emperor, while Mr. Ji was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Both of them had higher official status than him.

Ji Mingcheng sneered, and looked at Shen Lanze, "Master Shen, don't you want to use your power to cover criminals, or do you think Miss Lu is the murderer?"

"Where did Master Ji start to cover up criminals? Since the truth of the matter has not been found out, why did you use the severe punishment? Is it possible that Master Ji will be tortured into a trick?" Shen Lanze's face changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly.

Ji Mingcheng snorted softly, "Are I talking nonsense or are you guilty? Since Miss Lu didn't do it, why are you afraid of us investigating?"

"Okay, Master Ji wants to thoroughly investigate this case, and I am willing to cooperate." Lu Nanzhi took Shen Lanze's hand and shook his head at him.

Now they can't go head-to-head with Ji Mingcheng, they have to figure out what's going on and who's behind the scenes.

"Miss Lu is still smart." Ji Mingcheng's cold gaze rested on Lu Nanzhi's face for a moment, and he sneered when he saw her lowered brows pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, but about Prime Minister Luo's case, I have something to ask Lu Nanzhi, and I will take him away for the time being." Shen Lanze pulled Lu Nanzhi away with a sullen face.

Ji Mingcheng blocked his way and asked, "Why, is Mr. Shen afraid of something, or do you have some scruples?"

Shen Lanze looked at him with piercing eyes, "This officer is also investigating the case. If Mr. Ji continues to obstruct him, don't blame this officer for being ruthless."

"Lord Shen, don't forget your official position. If you dare to bend the law for personal gain, even if this official cannot cure you, the Holy Majesty will never forgive you."

The two quarreled furiously, neither of them was willing to give in, Master Zhou stood silently by the side and did not dare to say anything.

Lu Nanzhi shook off Shen Lanze's hand, and said seriously: "I believe Master Ji will not use severe torture to extract a confession without permission. You can go back and wait at ease, and I will go back safely."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Ji Mingcheng, "I hope Master Ji will keep his word, give me justice as soon as possible, and return my innocence!"

"Miss Lu, don't worry, Ji will never break his promise." Ji Mingcheng smiled, seemingly gentle but cruel.

Lu Nanzhi nodded slightly to Shen Lanze, signaling him not to continue arguing.

Things that have not been done are not done after all, even if they are framed by others, there will be flaws, so they just need to wait and see.

The jailer took Lu Nanzhi back to the prison again, and Shen Lanze left reluctantly.

Ji Mingcheng looked at their backs going away, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

……

Ji Mingcheng returned to the mansion, came to the study, sat down at the table, picked up a pen and wrote a few words, dried the ink and folded it up and stuffed it into his sleeve.

As soon as Ji Mingcheng walked out of the room, the servant who was waiting outside immediately greeted him, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, you have finally come out."

Ji Mingcheng nodded, "How is Madam's health recently?"

"The madam has already fallen asleep, and the young one ordered the kitchen to make a tonic soup. Do you want to see the madam now?"

Ji Mingcheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said coldly: "I won't go to Madam's place today, tell the servants to be careful."

"Little one obeys." The servant lowered his head and replied.

The night was getting darker, and the courtyard was quiet, except for the occasional chirping of cicadas, there was no sound.

A figure sneaked out from the back door of Ruofu. She walked forward cautiously holding the package, and looked back from time to time to make sure that no one was following behind her, so she raised her skirt and ran forward.

However, she didn't see a protruding stone under her feet, and fell to the ground without paying attention, her arms were covered with bleeding marks, her eyes were instantly reddened by the pain, and tears the size of beans slid down her cheeks.

She gritted her teeth and got up, ignoring the wound on her knee, stumbled and ran towards the street.

At this time there was a rush of footsteps behind her, Luo Qingyan knew that she had to find a place to hide quickly, otherwise she would be discovered soon.

"Go find it quickly, the person must still be nearby and not far away, you guys go over there and have a look."

"The rest of the people followed me to find it."

After several orders were issued, the guards quickly searched around, and Luo Qingyan hid in a corner and covered her mouth tightly.

With so many people moving at the same time, she had no chance to escape, so she had to rush out when they were not paying attention.

"Did you hear that?"

"Well, there seems to be some noise?"

"Don't worry about it so much, it's important to find someone quickly."

Luo Qingyan stared with bated breath, and moved slowly with the help of the dim light until she was two feet away from the nearest wall. Luo Qingyan clung to the wall tightly to cover her body from moving forward, but when she was about to escape When going out, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed her wrist and dragged her behind the wall.

"Bang~" Luo Qingyan bumped into a fleshy wall, her head buzzing.

The visitor narrowed his phoenix eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Luo Qingyan screamed in panic, but her cry was firmly suppressed between her lips and teeth.

"Do you want to attract more people?" A cold voice asked.

Luo Qingyan struggled desperately, but her strength was not as strong as the person in front of her, her resistance seemed so futile.

The man let go of Luo Qingyan's hands, pulled her and ran forward quickly, and stopped in an alley.

Panting heavily, Luo Qingyan looked around vigilantly, making sure there was no danger and sat with her back against the wall.

Her long hair was messy and scattered on her shoulders, her delicate oval face was as pale as paper, and fine sweat was dripping from her forehead.

A pair of bright black eyes were full of guard, and her delicate thin lips were pursed lightly, revealing a trace of grievance and stubbornness.

"Why are those people chasing you?" The veiled man looked at the panting man and asked.

Luo Qingyan raised her eyes and looked at the tall man, only to see that his face was covered with a black cloth, so she couldn't see his face clearly, but those eyes gave her a familiar feeling, and even the voice made him feel very familiar. familiar.

"How do I know why they hunted me down!" Luo Qingyan said with a blunt tone, staring at him displeased.

"You really don't know?" The man naturally didn't believe what he said, and kept rubbing his hands behind his back.

Luo Qingyan curled her lips, snorted coldly and turned her head to look to the other side. She had always maintained an alienated attitude towards strangers, even if the other party had helped her, she was still vigilant.

"I saved you, is this how you repay your benefactor?" He raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Luo Qingyan rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't I already thank you? What else do you want?"

The man frowned, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

After a while, he returned to his previous indifferent appearance, and said in a cold voice: "They should be chasing you, Miss Luo."

Luo Qingyan was stunned when she heard the words, and then slowly said after a long while: "You misidentified the wrong person, I am not your Miss Luo."

Luo Qingyan didn't expect to be recognized, and felt flustered.
