Chun Shui

Han Jie Gui was stunned for a moment, and turned back to look at Luo Jin's receding back.

He didn't have time to think about it. After a commotion outside the door, a guard came to report that Zhu Rui had brought people to arrest Luo Jin.

Zhu Rui led a team of people and entered the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. Seeing Jie Gui, he said loudly: "This matter is under the jurisdiction of our Metropolitan Procuratorate. The suspect Luo Jin has fled here. Please, Lord Jie, hand him over!"

Jie Gui walked out and stood in front of him, not giving in at all. "Lord Zhu is a student of Prime Minister He. We should avoid suspicion in this matter, so our Ministry of Justice will take over this case."

Zhu Rui stared, "You and Luo Qing worked together on the dwarf slave case before. You have an unusual relationship, right?"

Jie Gui snorted coldly, "As long as I didn't marry her, according to the law, I don't need to avoid suspicion with her. And you are indeed a student of Prime Minister He, and the deceased is Prime Minister He's daughter. This level of relationship must be avoided according to the law. You, a historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, don't you even know the law?"

"You..." Zhu Rui pointed at Jie Gui, his body trembling slightly with anger, "If you have the guts, I will go to see the emperor and accuse you of harboring a criminal!"

At this time, a man walked out of the crowd and said with a smile: "You two are colleagues, why quarrel here and hurt feelings. It's a rare occasion for the heads of our three judicial departments to get together, it's also a good story, right?"

Zhu Rui was stunned for a moment, "Fei Ru? Why are you here too? It's just an ordinary murder case, but even the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple has to come in person?"

Fei Ru smiled and said, "It's rare for Lord Jie to invite you, how can I not come? The suspect will be guarded by me, Lord Zhu, I wonder if you can rest assured? "

Fei Ru has been in the position of Dali Temple Minister for more than 30 years. He is a very prestigious old man in the court. It can be said that he is highly respected. After he opened his mouth, Zhu Rui had to shut up. "With Master Fei here, I am naturally relieved."

Jie Gui bowed, "Thank you, Master Fei. Luo Qing is in prison. Please guard him personally to avoid people accusing me of collusion."

Fei Ru smiled and said, "I am old and don't know much. It doesn't matter. You two can go about your own business. I am here, please rest assured." Jie Gui said,

"Hmm," and clasped his fists, "Junior will take his leave."

He turned and left the Ministry of Justice. Zhu Rui hesitated for a moment and followed him.

"Why are you following me?" Jie Gui glared at Zhu Rui.

"I'm going to Changfeng Garden too, to prevent you from destroying the evidence!" Zhu Rui said coldly, "You have a special relationship with her, right?"

"We're just colleagues I've worked with before," Jie Gui said indifferently, "I know her and you."

"What about me?"

"It's hard to say."

"You..."

Changfeng Garden was brightly lit at this time. Chai Qi just came back from outside and saw Chai Jing waiting anxiously at the door.

"What's wrong?" Chai Jing asked hurriedly.

"I went to Mo Garden, but it was too late. She was no longer there. But you don't have to worry. She is now in the Ministry of Justice, under the supervision of Master Fei. He is upright and will not wrongly accuse her."

Chai Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Fei... I believe that, too."

As she was speaking, she saw Jie Gui and Zhu Rui coming in together. Chai Jing waved at Jie Gui, "Master Jie, please come in!"

Then she rolled her eyes at Zhu Rui, "You bastard, what are you doing here?"

Zhu Rui: "..."

After being scolded by the princess, he couldn't scold back, so he could only endure it.

But Chai Jing didn't stop him, so he went in with his head held high.

Chai Jing caught up with Jie Gui, saying as they walked: "What exactly happened? Our Ah Jin certainly couldn't have killed He Wanying. Check the servants in this mansion, maybe one of them did it."

Zhu Rui retorted: "Why would the servants want to kill Miss He? How could it be possible without any grudge?"

Chai Jing glared at him, "Shut up, who talked to you?"

She turned back and said to Jie Gui: "I know this He Wanying. She drowned when she was a child. She usually doesn't take the initiative to approach places with water. I don't know why she suddenly appeared by the lake. I'm afraid there is something strange about it."

Jie Gui nodded, "Princess, don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth and will never let Luo Qing suffer an unjust accusation."

Many torches had been lit by the lake, illuminating the entire lake surface as brightly as day.

Jie Gui walked to the lake and inspected it carefully.

Ministry of Justice Prison.

Luo Jin was lying on the bed bored, Fei Ru was sitting at a table outside the prison drinking tea, Xiao Lian was sitting on the side, looking at Fei Ru nervously, she was not good at communicating with others, just staring at Fei Ru, but didn't know what to say.

"You are the victim of the dwarf slave case before?" Fei Ru spoke first.

Xiaolian nodded, "Xiaolian's life was saved by Sister Luo. She traveled thousands of miles to find the miracle doctor Situ An for Xiaolian. Xiaolian will be grateful to Sister Luo for the rest of her life."

"You are a good child if you know how to repay kindness." Fei Ru nodded slightly, "Don't be afraid, child. With me here, there will be no wrongful convictions."

Xiaolian said, "Sister Luo will not hurt anyone. I have always been with her. It's really not her."

Fei Ru moved a stool and walked to the front of the cell. He said to Luo Jin, "It's late at night and you can't sleep. Why don't you chat?"

Luo Jin turned aside and said, "There's nothing to talk about."

She listened to the explanation and didn't intend to say anything more to Fei Ru.

Fei Ru smiled, "Instead of talking about the case, can't we talk about something else to kill time?"

Luo Jin turned over, sat up and looked up at him, "What to talk about?"

"For example... astrology?"

Luo Jin blinked, "I'm not sleepy if you talk about this, I'm in charge of this, what do you want to talk about?"

Fei Ru looked at her with a smile, "Do you believe in astrology?"

Luo Jin smiled and said, "I'm the Minister of Taichang Temple, and I'm in charge of Guanxing Garden. How can I not believe it? Recently, the astrology indicates that the north is the main omen, and I think it's quite accurate."

Fei Ru shook his head, "The north is the main omen, this is just a very vague prophecy. There are so many places in the north, and there will always be one or two places where some unlucky things happen. This can't be said for sure, but of course it can't be said to be inaccurate."

Luo Jin said, "I think this north is the main omen, maybe it's Hanyuan."

Fei Ru smiled, "Empress Dowager Su has wanted to unify the Jiuyuan Continent for a long time. She declared ten years ago that she wanted to be the master of Jiuyuan. Everyone knows this."

"What about Jiyuan's prophecy? Didn't the prophecy about the prince killing his father come true? Isn't this a vague prophecy?"

Fei Ru leaned forward slowly, "Have you heard about this? Not many people know about this. You are the Minister of Taichang Temple, so it is not surprising that you know about this."

He raised his head, "I don't believe in astrology. Astrology may not be able to predict the future. Maybe only that great astrologer can predict the future. If other people want to understand something from the astrology, it is in vain."

"Great astrologer?" Luo Jin pondered, "Who is that person? Is he from Jiyuan? Then this person is really powerful. Is he still alive?"

"Dead," Fei Ru sighed, "It is said that she left behind more than just that one prophecy, there is another more terrifying prophecy...but only the old emperor of Jiyuan knew the content of the prophecy. After his death, the astrologer also died soon."

He pondered for a while and said, "And that prophecy is about a huge disaster in this world."

Luo Jin didn't believe it, "Just because she predicted one right before, it doesn't mean the next one will be right, right? Besides, I think the prince's patricide was more or less a coincidence. The prince was not a bad person. If he hadn't been deceived and deliberately catered to the prophecy, the prophecy might not have come true."

Fei Ru glared at her, "Not a bad person? Do you have any misunderstandings about the Emperor of Jiyuan? That is simply a Big devil, okay?"

He shook his head and sighed, "I have been investigating this matter all these years. I thought the new Taichang Temple Minister had some ability, but it seems that he is just..."

Luo Jin rolled his eyes at him, "Okay, don't get excited. The Taichang Temple Minister is still carrying a murder case... So, tell me what you know. If I overturn the case tomorrow, I will pay attention to help you investigate, okay?"

She smiled bitterly, "So you came here for this..."

Fei Ru finally smiled, "You didn't kill anyone, you won't be convicted. It's agreed that you must investigate the prophecy. This is all I know, and the name of the great prophet, a woman named..."

He paused before saying, "Remember, her name is Luo Xin."

"Luo...Xin!" Luo Jin jumped up from the bed, "Is her name really that? Where is she?"

"Didn't I say it? She's dead...what's the matter? She's from the same clan as you, so there's nothing to be surprised about, right?"

"If she is really Luo Xin, then what she said is not some astrological prophecy at all, it's the plot itself!" Luo Jin was emotional, "Do you know who she is? She is the author! This novel was written by her!"

Fei Ru: "..."

"I don't understand at all."

Luo Jin muttered to himself: "The author has been here, and she made many inexplicable settings in this world, such as the setting of the prince of Jiyuan killing his father, but it was not written in the novel. If it is not written in the novel, this plot only exists in the setting. It will happen, but the hero and heroine will not solve it. Only in the plot can the problem be solved."

"Maybe she originally intended to let the hero and heroine solve these problems, but for various reasons it was not written. The unwritten plot will not happen, but the setting still exists. This kind of hidden setting has appeared many times before, and the characters in the plot will also have special settings, which are completely different from the performance in the plot, such as Yue Qinghai."

"By leaving a prophecy, is it to tell others what kind of weird settings she has made?"

Fei Ru: "..."

"Luo Qing is really unfathomable, I really don't understand."

"Can... you tell me the conclusion directly?"

"The conclusion is that everything Luo Xin said will come true, and it will be realized no matter what."

"Oh... I thought so too. "Fei Ru nodded and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble Luo Qing to investigate this matter. Don't worry about the case. I believe in his ability to interpret the rules. He will definitely help you clear your name."

He looked out the window, "It's time to go to the morning court. Today's morning court... should be quite lively! I'm old and haven't been there for many years. I must go and take a look today."
