In the evening, Meng Jinyao and Song Xinning had dinner at a restaurant. After dinner, they went to the night market together. At about 4:00, the two of them separated and went back to their respective homes.

Returning to Wei Ruixuan, Meng Jinyao washed herself, asked the maid to retreat, and was about to take a rest. Suddenly she heard movement from the window on the right. She turned her head and looked around, only to see a figure jumping in.

Look at this figure, is it a man?

This realization made Meng Jinyao feel cold all over her body, her face turned pale, and she covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make any sound.

In just a moment, Meng Jinyao had already thought about countless possibilities. She had an intuition that someone wanted to frame her. Her husband had a hidden illness and he was not at home. Suddenly a man appeared in the room. If the news spread, she would be finished and abandoned. Yes, the reputation is ruined.

At this time, the man had closed the window, turned around, and then, a face like the breeze and bright moon came into view.

It's Gu Jingxi.

Meng Jinyao was shocked and shocked, but she finally let go of her worries. She looked at the window blankly, then at the man, and asked in shock: "Husband, what are you?"

Gu Jingxi saw that the little girl's face was pale and her eyes were covered with mist. She was obviously very frightened. He couldn't help but was stunned. Then he thought of what he had just done. It was instantly clear. It was no wonder that she was frightened and walked towards her. , asked in a gentle voice: "Madam, are you scared?"

Meng Jinyao nodded obediently and asked incomprehensibly: "Husband, why didn't you go through the front door? You just jumped out the window and came in. I thought there was a bad guy coming in."

Gu Jingxi replied: "It's not convenient to go through the main entrance."

Why is it inconvenient?

A serious couple can still act like they are having an affair.

Meng Jinyao felt very depressed, but the next moment, she smelled a fishy smell and felt something was wrong. Then she noticed the blood stains on Gu Jingxi's clothes. There were blood stains on the skirt, sleeves, and hem of the clothes. The clothes on her left arm were also scratched. , looking quite embarrassed.

The material of the clothes is blue, and the blood stains are very obvious. At first glance, it is quite scary, and it seems that the injury is serious.

Meng Jinyao looked at the blood-stained skirt just above her chest, her face turned pale, and she asked calmly: "Husband, you shed so much blood, won't you die young?"

Gu Jingxi's face was slightly dull, and he sneered slightly, and said angrily and amusedly: "Don't worry, madam, I won't let you be a little widow."

Meng Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll ask someone to ask the government doctor to come over." After that, she walked out of the house.

Gu Jingxi stopped him: "I'm fine, don't make any noise, so as not to alarm the elders, ask the maid to prepare water, I want to take a bath."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao paused, looked at his blood-stained clothes again, and said hesitantly: "But you have lost so much blood, can you do it without seeing a doctor? If you are afraid that your mother will be worried, I will just say that I have a stomachache." Just ask the government doctor."

Gu Jingxi shook his head gently: "I'm not injured, the blood belongs to others."

Meng Jinyao was stunned, and took a few steps forward to look at him carefully, and found that the blood was dyed into the clothes from the outside, and did not flow from the body. Even the clothes on his arms had a cut, but the arms were not injured.

It was determined that he was not injured, but his clothes were stained with blood. It seemed that someone else was seriously injured. I still remember that Zhou Yun said in the morning that he had something urgent to look for him, and then he left in a hurry. Now when he comes back, he is stained with blood, and he is still Instead of going through the main entrance, he would sneak back out of the window without letting others see him. No matter how he looked at it, he would think there was something fishy.

Meng Jinyao looked at him with disbelief for a moment, and asked half seriously and half jokingly: "Did your husband kill someone?"

Gu Jingxi was stunned: "How did you know?"

For a moment, Meng Jinyao doubted her ears and asked him for confirmation: "Did you really kill someone?"

Gu Jingxi asked, "Well, what's the problem?"

His tone was calm, as if killing was a common thing in his eyes.

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao's face froze, feeling a little horrified. Such cold-blooded words should not come out of Gu Jingxi's mouth. She subconsciously took a step back and reminded: "Killing for life, you are the minister of Dali Temple. Isn't this knowing the law and breaking the law?"

Gu Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. Seeing the fear in her eyes, he knew that she had misunderstood. If she didn't explain clearly tonight, she would probably have nightmares if he slept next to her, so he explained: " When arresting fugitives, the other party has many subordinates, and there is nothing that can be done about it. If I were to be merciful, you would be a little widow."

Meng Jinyao was stunned. This was an area she had never set foot in. She thought that the Minister of Dali Temple was a civil servant, and that civil servants did not care about killings, but only investigated cases. But in fact, this did not seem to be the case.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is quite normal. How can a prisoner be arrested by the government in peace? Just like the government's suppression of bandits, it also took a lot of fighting.

A simple, weak scholar would be arrested by the police. It was normal for someone like Gu Jingxi, who was both civilized and military, to take action personally. But she was not expecting a man who was usually gentle and elegant to kill someone.

After a moment, she asked calmly: "Has the fugitive been caught?"

Gu Jingxi nodded and said, "He has been arrested and brought to justice."

"That's good." Meng Jinyao nodded and asked no more questions, "Then I'll tell the maid to prepare water."

After saying that, she left the house and asked the maid on night duty to prepare water. When she returned to the house, she saw Gu Jingxi taking off his blood-stained robe. Probably because the other party's blood had penetrated the outer robe, and the inner garment was also stained with blood. The smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.

Meng Jinyao wrinkled her nose in discomfort, hesitated for a moment, and then did her duty as a wife and went to find him some clean clothes.

It's quiet at night.

The person next to her lay down. After a long time, Meng Jinyao glanced sideways. The man was lying on his back with his eyes closed. He had obviously fallen asleep. Thinking that the cheap man had killed someone today and could still sleep so peacefully, she murmured: That's Killing people, but not killing chickens, why is it so peaceful?

As soon as she finished muttering, the man next to her replied: "The more you kill, the calmer you will be."

Meng Jinyao said "Huh?" and was a little unresponsive.

Gu Jingxi turned his head to look at her and said softly: "Madam, you don't have to say what's on your mind next time."

Meng Jinyao's face froze, and she asked with a sly smile: "Husband, aren't you asleep yet?"

Gu Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "How can I answer Madam's question when I'm asleep?"

Meng Jinyao smiled awkwardly, was silent for a while, and then asked curiously: "Husband, have you killed many people?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Fortunately, there will always be casualties during the fighting."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao felt that it would not be good to kill them directly. They should be tried according to the court regulations no matter what, so she asked: "Can't your husband bring them to justice alive?"

"Those who can be captured alive will be captured alive for interrogation, and those who cannot be killed will be killed directly." Gu Jingxi answered lightly, glanced at the little girl next to him, and said warmly, "Official circles are dark, and there are many unknown sides. Madam, it is better not to inquire about them. good."

Meng Jinyao said lightly "Oh" and said: "Husband, please be safe."

Gu Jingxi smiled softly and said jokingly: "Don't worry, madam, I won't let you be a little widow."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao remembered that not long ago she asked someone if he would die young. She couldn't help but feel her ears burning, and she turned her face away from him with uneasiness.
