Chapter 557 The Current Regent's Wife (1/2)



Xiao Yanchu looked up at the door and hurried over. "Ah Jin, did we wake you up?"

Su Ruojin gently shook her head. "No, I'll be fine after a nap."

She couldn't sleep well because she had something on her mind.

Su Ruojin didn't waste any time. She walked to the table, took out a few sheets of paper and a stack of books, and spread them out on the table. These were the ones she had Huang Tongpan write later.

“Look, this is the handwriting that Magistrate Huang imitated, and these are the contents that he imitated.”

Xiao Yanchu examined it carefully, his brows furrowing slightly.

“The handwriting is indeed that of my father-in-law, third brother, and fifth brother, but the content written by Judge Huang has nothing to do with those letters.”

"Yes, there is a connection."

Su Ruojin asked Hu Qing to bring her a pen, and she began to circle the words in these books one by one.

As Su Ruojin gained more and more followers, Xiao Yanchu's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he understood.

"You mean those letters were copied by someone?"

"That's right, but they did it very meticulously."

"In this way, even if Magistrate Huang is caught, we will not be able to find direct evidence."

How cunning!

"Why did you come here? What about the capital now that you're here?" Su Ruojin finally had time to ask Xiao Yanchu.

“An Yi sent me a message, explaining the situation here. I was worried, so I rushed over. Besides, now that we've found Third Brother, no one can find fault with me coming here with my men.”

It doesn't matter in the capital. During this period, the ministers have been arguing in the court every day, so Xiao Chenyi doesn't dare to take action against the Su family for the time being, and the Dali Temple doesn't dare to torture the Su family either.

"Tong Mingshan has committed such a serious crime, he'll definitely resort to desperate measures. He couldn't have done something like this without a backup plan. Since this matter involves Bei Li, I brought some of the city's garrison troops here just in case," Xiao Yanchu explained to Su Ruojin.

Su Ruojin knew that An Yi had passed on a message to Xiao Yanchu. She also knew that Xiao Yanchu was not someone who didn't know his place, and that his coming here must have been arranged beforehand.

The fact that the court officials are arguing like this must be the work of Xiao Yanchu.

"What about Deng Yi?"

Su Ruojin thought about this problem. Before coming to Yulin, she only suspected that Deng Yi had a problem, but she had no evidence. She also told Xiao Yanchu about it. She didn't know if Deng Yi had made any moves recently.

“He hasn’t made any moves. Su Muyao has been staying in the Deng residence and never goes out.”

If Deng Yi is not the problem, then everything in Majia Village is just a coincidence.

In any case, let's get back to the capital first and clear the Su family's name.

"We'll head back to the capital tomorrow." Su Ruojin didn't want the Su family to stay in the Dali Temple prison for another day, especially since Fifth Sister-in-law was pregnant.

If her body hadn't reached its limit, she might have already set off back to the capital.

"good."

Yuanmeng Tower.

Liu Mengru felt uneasy all night and couldn't sleep, so she got up and started reading. However, she couldn't concentrate on reading after a few pages, so she took out some face powder and started mixing incense.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of wooden planks being pushed and pulled in the room, which startled her.

She looked at the secret passage with some fear. She had made an agreement with Su Wenzhou that he would not come here if she did not light incense, in order to prevent being discovered.

Liu Mengru immediately took out a dagger and stared nervously at the secret passage.

Then a person with a face covered in blood emerged from the secret passage.

Liu Mengru thrust a dagger at the attacker.

Su Wenzhou instinctively reached out and grabbed Liu Mengru's hand. "Miss Liu, it's me!"

Upon hearing Su Wenzhou's voice, Liu Mengru loosened her grip, and the dagger fell to the ground.

When she saw Su Wenzhou like this, her eyes instantly reddened. She quickly helped him out of the tunnel, her voice choked with sobs, "General Su, are you injured?"
