Young Master Yu's mood is not very good recently, the reason is that the girl he cares about came here to find someone, and he actually knew about it later than Liu Huaizhi.

This matter made Young Master Yu's heart very uncomfortable, so he didn't go to Liu's house for a few days.Even the inn where she stayed with Ma girl went less often.

Liu Huaizhi vaguely knew what he was angry about, and didn't take it too seriously. He just lived his own life peacefully every day, and secretly hoped that Yu Yan could be more angry for a while, and would come out less these days.

Because just the day before yesterday, something happened in Linyang City.

The night before yesterday, a very precious luminous pearl was stolen from Huang Yuanwai's mansion in the city.And that night, a concubine's room in Yuanwai's mansion was stabbed with a sharp weapon.This concubine was already three months pregnant, after this incident, the child could not be kept, and she had been in a coma and hadn't woken up, barely breathing.

People from Yuanwai Mansion immediately reported the case to the government after discovering the matter.The yamen did not dare to neglect, and immediately began to investigate the matter.

Such a case of murder for money made people panic in Linyang City, which had always been calm, overnight.

Even Yu Yan got a warning from Mrs. Ye after that day, asking him not to go out for a few days.

Yu Yan didn't feel how terrible this matter was. In broad daylight, the murderer couldn't steal money and commit crimes in full view.It's just that Mrs. Ye was worried, and he was still a little angry, so he stayed at home honestly for two days.But in just two days, he couldn't stay any longer.

I thought I didn't know how long I was going to stay at home, but on the fourth day after the incident, the case became clear.

It has to be said that the speed of the government's handling of the case was indeed very fast. At noon on the fourth day, news spread that the government had captured the suspect.

Yu Yan has been holding back at home for the past few days, and he has long forgotten the unhappiness in his heart.He changed into the clothes he usually wears when he goes out, and walked leisurely in the direction of Liu's residence.

He thought, he didn't go to Liu's mansion these days because of this matter, and after meeting Huaizhi, he would go to the inn to see Miss Ma.

Miss Ma came to Yangcheng alone to look for someone. Although she is good at martial arts, she is a girl after all.Now that something like this has happened in the city, I don't know if Miss Ma will have lingering fears.

Fortunately, now that the government has arrested the suspect, I don't know what kind of person this thief is, whether he is as he thought, a big man with a thick back and a beard on his face.

Yu Yan was walking in the market while thinking, probably because the suspect had just been arrested, and everyone on the street was talking about it.

He heard someone say that the concubine who was stabbed was named Ning Lan, who just gave birth to a girl for Huang Yuanwai a year ago, and now she is pregnant again. Walk.But who would have thought that the child in her womb would be lost overnight, and her life would almost be lost.

Others said, isn't it true? You said that this Huang Yuanwai is really miserable. His first wife left at a young age, and his second wife is also infertile.Now the family doesn't even have a son, and finally the concubine conceived another child, and something like this happened.

The man also said, this thief really has no conscience, he just wants to make money, and he won't even let a woman go.Fortunately, the government has already caught him, otherwise I don't know who will encounter such a thing.I don't know what kind of person this thief is.

The other person heard them discussing here, and also came over, and said cautiously, I have heard that this thief is a woman!

Those people were taken aback, female?

The man continued to say, isn't it true that the female thief lived in the Yunxing Inn before, and she is quite beautiful.

Everyone asked, is it true or not?

The man said, what am I lying to you for? The inn waiter is my neighbor's brother-in-law. I heard from him that the government sent someone to arrest him early in the morning.

……

Yu Yan didn't listen any further.He was thinking with all his heart, Yunxing Inn, isn't it the one where Miss Ma lives.He hurriedly turned around and ran towards Yunxing Inn.

He was not far from the inn at this moment, and he walked quickly, and he arrived at the place in a short while.

After entering the inn, he ignored Xiao Er's call and went upstairs.

Xiao Er was taken aback by his appearance, and hurriedly followed him to stop him.By the time he caught up with Yu Yan, Yu Yan had already opened the door vigorously.Unfortunately, there was no one inside.

He grabbed Xiao Er who was following him: "Where's the girl who lived here before?"

Hearing this, the young man remembered that the young man in front of him had visited this girl several times before. He was afraid that the person in front of him would have something to do with that girl, so his legs trembled in fright, and he said tremblingly: " This morning, the government came and took that girl away."

Yu Yan looked at the little girl looking at him in panic, and then looked at the empty room, feeling dizzy in his head.

When Yu Yan rushed to Liu's mansion in a hurry, Liu Huaizhi was sitting leisurely in the gazebo by the pond feeding the fish.He was thinking that it would be only two days before Yu Yan would come to the door, when he heard hurried footsteps not far away.Looking back, that person really came.

"What are you in a panic about?" He saw the person running over in sweat, and asked.

"Huang... the case of Yuanwai Huang..." Because he ran too fast, Yu Yan began to pant as soon as he arrived in the pavilion.

"Huh? I heard that someone has been arrested." The two of them had never interacted with people from Yuanwai's mansion, and I don't know why Yu Yan suddenly paid so much attention to this matter.Liu Huaizhi looked at his ugly face and dry lips, thinking that he was tired from running, and quickly poured him a cup of herbal tea prepared in the kiosk.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't take his cup at all, and only panted: "The official... took Miss Ma away."

"What did you say? They arrested Ma girl?" This was really unexpected.

"Yes. I went to the inn to look for it. Xiao Er said that an official came to pick up Miss Ma early this morning, and said that she suspected that she was the thief that night..." Yu Yan didn't know where to put his hands. , "Huaizhi, what should I do. Miss Ma, she can't be a thief."

"Calm down first." Liu Huaizhi stretched out his hands and pressed his shoulders forcefully, "We don't know what's going on at the yamen, and if they take the man away, it may not be certain that Miss Ma did it. In this way, you go back today, and I will send someone to the yamen to investigate the situation, and we will talk about it after we figure it out."

"it is good……"

Seeing his answer in a trance, Liu Huaizhi pulled his shoulders hard again, looked into his eyes and said solemnly: "Remember, don't show your face to the government."

After leaving Liu's mansion, Yu Yan returned home in a daze, unable to eat or sleep, and when he closed his eyes, he remembered the words he heard on the street.

The next day, with two big dark circles under his eyes, he washed his face indiscriminately and was about to go to Liu's residence. As soon as he left the gate, he bumped into Liu Huaizhi who came to look for him.

"How is it?" He saw Liu Huaizhi, went up to him and grabbed his sleeve, and asked eagerly.

"Don't be in a hurry." Liu Huaizhi let him drag him, looked around, and said in a slow voice, "Let's go in and talk."

The two came to Yu Yan's bedroom, closed the door, and then Liu Huaizhi said: "I have asked someone to go to the Yamen to ask. Miss Ma is only temporarily detained, and the government has not found any actual evidence so far, so it won't be like this condemned her."

"No evidence?" Yu Yan's eyes widened, "How can they arrest people without evidence! Why did they arrest Miss Ma!"

Liu Huaizhi nodded: "The concubine named Ning Lan was stabbed with a sharp weapon, and there was no evidence left on her body or at the scene of the incident. Moreover, no one noticed that someone sneaked into the mansion on the night of the incident, obviously The thief is quite skillful."

"Then, because Miss Ma knows kung fu, you arrested her?" Yu Yan was taken aback, remembering that when he first met Miss Ma, many people on the street saw her skills, and he had a look of displeasure, " In this whole city, Ma girl is not the only one who knows kung fu, so how come she is the only one arrested?"

"Because someone saw Miss Ma appearing near Yuanwai's mansion on the night when the incident happened. The waiter at the inn also said that Miss Ma did leave the inn that night."

Yu Yan sat on the chair a little slumped, he never thought that Miss Ma would not be at the inn that night.It's just that he won't believe what he says, the girl who will save him at the critical moment will be a thief who commits murder and theft.

"You don't have to worry too much. I heard from the people in the government office that they didn't find any night pearls in Miss Ma's room, and there is no other evidence to prove that the thief is Miss Ma, so they won't just convict him like that. It's just that at present There is nothing to prove that Miss Ma is innocent, and the Yuanwai Mansion is pressing hard, so before the suspicion is cleared, Miss Ma will be wronged in prison for a while."

"What will the girl Ma suffer in prison?" Yu Yan looked up at Liu Huaizhi helplessly. In the dramas and story books he had read, there were many stories about wronged people being beaten into tricks.

Liu Huaizhi knew what he was thinking, so he just gave him a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, my father and the magistrate also have some friendship. I have already taken care of the magistrate's side, and the servants below have also taken care of them. The girl was wronged."

"Huaizhi..." Yu Yan looked gratefully at the person in front of him, and firmly held the other person's hand, "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Liu Huaizhi took out a hand and patted the back of his hand: "Don't worry, there will be a solution."
