Beloved at the Door

Chapter 17

“In Shangguan Yan’s information, why did she miss out about her engagement?”

Qiu Dan was stunned and didn’t seem very happy to see the adult, but he raised his eyes and looked up, and saw that there was no discomfort on the adult’s face again, thinking that he was probably too worried.

“It’s just a verbal marriage contract. It’s not counted, so I didn’t write it down.” Qiu Dan thought that Young Master Pan was just a scholar, the family was not obvious, and it was of no importance at all, and there was no need for investigation.

Di Jing reprimanded with majesty. “Nothing can be let go, sometimes trivial things are often the key to solving crimes.”

Qiu Dan came to his senses and was busy teaching. “It’s the negligence of the humble duty.”

“Go find out what happened to the Pan family and report it to the officer.”

“Humble duty.”

Di Jing can be regarded as seeing how extensive Shangguan Yan’s contacts are. He has only shut her down for a mere five days. Not only are many people coming to talk about her, they also have backgrounds.

First was the Nine Princes, and then the Mausoleum King, and there were many people with sages in officialdom and shopping malls. What made him even more impressive was that it was not only men who came to visit the prison, but also women.

I think back then, although she was a maid with pockmarks on her face in the Qin family, she was not amazing and humble, but she was like a fish in water and loved by everyone.

“You can do it! This official has seen it, and you have many friends and confidantes, and this official will be willing to bow down.”

Today alone, there are five girls who came to see her with the rain and the meals made by herself in Ehwa, including the brothel oikui, Wukui, the mausoleum princess and the daughters of the family.

“Where and where, the humble job usually accumulates virtue and does good deeds and does a lot of good deeds. God has eyes.”

This means he locked her up, he is blind?

It was another quiet moment in the middle of the night. The two of them sat on the ground. She was in prison and he was outside. He wore a loose robe and no official hat today. His body exuded the refreshing smell of bathing and washing, and she just It was terrible. I didn’t take a shower for five days. In addition to the heat, she accumulated sweat all over her body, which made her feel itchy and uncomfortable.

“My lord, when can you get out of prison for a humble job?”

“The timing is unclear. Now the court is divided into two powers. One is the power of the concubine Devil, and the other is the power of the queen’s relatives. They have a tendency to intervene in politics—” He analyzed the current situation and she listened carefully. , Occasionally talked about some insights, she will also put forward.

“By the way, how did you get the pockmarked?” He suddenly interjected, and she was taken aback, and looked up at him, wondering why he asked this to do?

Di Jing received her suspicious look and added an understatement. “If Liu Shan uses your unique method of changing appearance, it will be hard to find.”

She answered without thinking. “impossible.”

“Oh? How impossible? If you can do it, why can’t others?”

“Because—” She suddenly felt alert, this Master Di is not an excuse to use her words? Her method of disguise is an exclusive secret recipe, but she can’t say it casually. She changed her mind while thinking about it, and she changed her words: “Because I really have pockmarks, it’s not a disguise.”

Di Jing was stunned, unable to believe it. “Really long pockmark?”

“Yes, when I was working on the case outside, I didn’t know what it was because of the wind and sun, and pockmarks appeared on my face. Later I recuperated for three months.”

He frowned and looked at her suspiciously, and she said slippery, not avoiding his questioning gaze.

Di Jing was still suspicious in her heart, always feeling that she was hiding something. This girl was very thief. She wanted to inadvertently tell her what she said, but it seemed that she had failed. No problem, it will be long in the future, and now she is in his own hands, he has patience and slowly grinds with her.

“Never mind, the officer is exhausted, so rest too.” He stood up.

Seeing that he was leaving, she hurriedly said, “My lord.”

Di Jing turned around to look at her, she showed a pleasing smile and pleaded.

“Since you pretend to be in jail, can you let the humble job freshen up? The weather is too hot and uncomfortable.”

Under the expectation of her face, he smiled, but what he said was counterproductive. “Since it’s a play, you have to be full and bear it.” Under her stunned mouth, he turned around and left without any room for negotiation.

Play? Forbearance? Shangguan Yan burst into flames in his heart. If it’s a play, why is the food delivered well? The bed is also clean? Give her a separate cell, with windows for air circulation, without the rancid smell of a normal cell, even the jailer is kind to her?

He obviously didn’t freshen her up on purpose, which made her itchy and uncomfortable. She was angry and thought about it. The only reason he could think about was that he still wanted to take revenge on excuses. she was.

She paced in the cell, scratching here and scratching there. Forget it, bear it! It’s not that she can’t bear it. When she went to investigate the case, she also experienced the wind and sun. What does it mean to not take a bath for a few days? Humph!

She didn’t know that there was a dark room next to this cell that was dedicated to listening to the wall and handling cases. Through a small hole, you could see everything in the cell.

Di Jing saw her angry expression now. He smiled and ordered the guards before leaving.

“Protect her, there must be no mistakes.”

“Yes, my lord.” The five female guards gave their orders.

He deployed twenty elite guards outside the cell, of which five female guards were responsible for paying attention to the movement in the cell, and fifteen male guards were responsible for guarding the surroundings, surrounding the cell so that she would never make any mistakes.

Due to the order of the prison head, anyone who wants to visit the prison must first come and report to Di Jing, so the next day when the son of the Pan family came to visit the prison, the official immediately reported it.

Hearing this, Di Jing, who was discussing with the prefect in the study, couldn’t help but pause. Then after thinking about it, he missed a sentence.

“quasi.”

After the officer got the order to leave, Di Jing continued to discuss matters with the prefect as if nothing had happened. When the discussion was over, after the prefect left, he pondered for a while, walked out of the study, and headed towards the prison.

Seeing the adult come over, the prison officer hurried forward to greet him.

“The visitor is still there?”

“Yes, an adult, it’s been a while. It’s a young man named Pan. Let’s go and drive him out.” The officer thought that the adult was not happy about visiting the prison for a long time, and was busy trying to drive people.

“Wait, don’t worry about it, don’t let the people inside know that the official is here, understand?”

The officer hurriedly replied, “Yes, I understand the humble position.” As he said, he quietly retired.

Di Jing walked to the big tree outside the prison gate and stood there quietly to enjoy the cool.

After waiting for a moment, someone walked out of the prison. Di Jing looked at it immediately and saw a man in a silver-white robe slowly walking out.

This person was gentle, fair-skinned, and quite handsome, with a bookish look on his body. He could be seen to be a gentleman who was respectful and gentle. Di Jing knew that this person was the son of the Pan family, Pan Zeming.

Pan Zeming repeatedly thanked the eldest officer who was guarding the gate, with an elegant and modest manner.

Di Jing looked at him secretly, until the opponent left, then slowly turned and left.

After returning to the study, he sat in front of the book case and meditated. He has a strong personality and is absolutely selfless about the case, but he is actually very persistent with women.

At the beginning, he watched her leave. He was shocked and furious, but when all the emotions settled down, the only thing he couldn’t let go was her cruelty leaving. He didn’t even have a trace of nostalgia for him. And he, as two years passed, he missed her more and more day by day.

The face of a woman who had been thinking about it countless times in his mind has been invisibly engraved in memory. It has not faded with the passage of time, but is deeply imprinted. This is why when he sees her, he will feel her His every move and even a look in his eyes are all so familiar.

Did he know that Shangguan Yan was wronged? Of course he knows, and only he knows it. The corners of his lips will light up when no one is around. The woman who escaped from the palm of his hand two years ago is now under his control, and it is strange that he will let it go.

He recalled the news that Qiu Dan had inquired about. The Pan’s 21st year, more than two years ago, the Pan family and Shangguan’s elders made a verbal agreement and wanted to marry Shangguan Yan to Pan Zeming. After the grandfather passed away, Pan Zeming had to keep his filial piety for three years. This period of filial piety will expire at the beginning of this year, and now there are only more than two months left.

As Shangguan Yan is talented in business, he usually uses men’s clothing to show his people. The Pan family is also low-key, probably because it is better not to let people know about Shangguan Yan pretending to be a man and doing business in a layman. Therefore, both sides have a tacit understanding not to say it. Not many people outside know that Shangguan Yan and Pan Zeming have an oral marriage contract.

“There are still two months…” Di Jing whispered.

“Sir?” Qiu Dan on the side raised his head and looked at the adult suspiciously.

“It’s Liqiu for more than two months,” Di Jing said, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

“Yes, my lord.” Qiu Dan thought that the adults were really counting the days of Liqiu. In fact, Di Jing was counting the days when Pan Zeming’s filial piety expired. There is not much time, so he has to speed up his actions.

After another two days, Shangguan Yan was really dirty and uncomfortable in the prison. She wanted to persuade Di Jing to give her a convenience and let her freshen up but she didn’t succeed. In that case, she had a way.

She called the head of the cell called Niu Eryi, and asked Niu Er to do it for her convenience, and help her get a basin of water and a cloth towel. Then she brought a large curtain. As long as she covered the corner of the cell, she was there. Isn’t it okay to wipe your body inside?
