Chapter 36 Xuchang
The rain continued until night, the spring rain still did not stop, and the sky was so dark that even the moon could not be seen.

Dali Temple is also shrouded in the gray sky, as if weaving a net, making people breathless.

Cui Xuan walked into Dali Temple and saw Ji Yun and Xie Fangchi head-on. She asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Ji Yun laughed, "I'm afraid that if you make some trouble, it won't be easy to clean up."

Cui Xuan glanced at him, secretly said in her heart, what she said was nice.

"Okay, Mrs. Cui, let's change clothes first, and then go to prison with me to meet those people." Xie Fangchi said.

"Thank you." After finishing speaking, Cui Xuan and Xie Fangchi's maid went to a wing of Dali Temple.

As soon as she left, Xie Fangchi looked at Ji Yun and said, "She's a girl, what is she doing here? Could it be that Lord Hou expects her to find out something from those few people?"

His face was full of puzzlement, Ji Yun sneered: "Look down on the girl?"

When Xie Fangchi wanted to say something else, he heard Ji Yun say: "In the past few days, your people haven't been able to ask anything."

Before Xie Fangchi could speak, he heard footsteps, and the two closed their mouths.

Cui Xuan walked in wearing a blue dress, "I'm fine."

As she spoke, she glanced at the two of them again, but was inexplicably glared at by Xie Fangchi.

"Let him go. It's not convenient for me to go there. I'll wait for you here." This is where Xie Fangchi handles official business, and ordinary people don't come here.

Cui Xuan nodded, "Okay."

After all, she went to the prison with Xie Fangchi.

Stepping into the prison, there was only darkness. Cui Xuan suddenly stepped on a wine jar and was about to fall down.

Seeing this, Xie Fangchi was about to reach out to help her, but the next moment, he saw the girl stabilized herself.

"Miss Cui is so careless, it's strange that she can come to try the case." Xie Fangchi whispered in her ear.

Cui Xuan glanced at him and thought to herself, she didn't expect that your Dali Temple is quite messy, with wine jars scattered everywhere.

But she didn't say this, after all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.Now it's her who wants to ask Xie Fangchi, it doesn't look good to make people anxious.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Fangchi snorted coldly in his heart, he must be holding back some bad intentions to trick him, he has long known that Cui Xuan is sinister, vicious and scheming.

"Master Shi Lang." Two jailers saw the two of them and said hastily.

Xie Fangchi nodded slightly at them: "I will interrogate those people inside again."

The two of them glanced at Cui Xuan who was standing aside, and saw the young man with lowered eyelids, "This subordinate will bring them up now."

"No need, give me the key, I'll go in and ask a few questions." Xie Fangchi said.

Hearing this, the two looked at each other again, and one of them had to take out the key and hand it to Xie Fangchi.

Xie Fangchi took the key and said: "In the future, I will guard it carefully, and don't drink any more in prison."

After all, she took Cui Xuan and walked forward.

The two jailers behind them raised their hands and scratched their heads, then looked at the wine jars on the ground.

The further you go in, the darker it becomes.The two stopped outside a cell, and Xie Fangchi took out the key and opened the cell door.

The person lying inside suddenly sat up from the cot, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

After two days in prison, this man was obviously a little thin, and the stubble on his chin was a little protruding, but if you look closely, you can still see his handsome face.

Not far from the cell, two mice were gnawing on the vegetable leaves on the ground. When they heard the sound, they looked towards the door again.

The moment they looked at each other, Cui Xuan almost cried out, but luckily she covered her mouth in time.

"Is that scary?" Xie Fangchi sneered.

Cui Xuan suppressed her beating heart and couldn't help muttering: "Aren't ordinary girls afraid?"

She is just an ordinary girl.

Xie Fangchi sneered, but did not speak.

Cui Xuan ignored him, turned to look at the man sitting on the small bed, and asked, "What's his name?"

"Xuchang, from Tongzhou. Both parents died, and the two younger brothers and sisters in the family also died prematurely." Xie Fangchi said.

Cui Xuan nodded knowingly, feeling a little strange in her heart, what good would this do him, and he would not end well if he dragged the Cui family into trouble.It would be fair to say that someone threatened him with his family.But now it is so strange.

"Xuchang, didn't you say that Master Cui asked you the question? Let me ask you, when and where did you meet Master Cui?"

Xu Chang just glanced at her indifferently: "I can't remember clearly, but Master Cui once looked for me."

What he said made Cui Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Xie Shilang, with just this sentence, you Dali Temple can be convicted?"

She looked at Xie Fangchi sarcastically.

Xie Fangchi was so embarrassing and anxious, there were people from the Yang family in Dali Temple, they wished to put the Cui family to death, so how could they care so much.

Not to mention a good interrogation.

Cui Xuan asked this question now, as if everything was his incompetence.

Cui Xuan looked at Xu Chang again, "You said Master Cui ordered you, then I'm surprised, you are not outstanding among your candidates in Tongzhou, why did Master Cui just take a fancy to you?"

"Of course it's because people with outstanding talents are unwilling to do such things, so Master Cui can only find me."

Cui Xuan nodded immediately, "There is some truth to what you said. Xie Shilang told me that you are from Tongzhou, right? I heard that the cherries in your place are good, right?"

Her face was soft, as if she was chatting with Xu Chang.

Xie Fangchi couldn't help but frowned.

After a long time, Xu Chang raised his head and looked at her: "My lord is joking, Tongzhou is so dry, how can we grow cherries."

There was a silence in the prison, only the sound of mice gnawing leaves. Cui Xuan suppressed the fear in her heart and chuckled: "I see, it seems that someone deliberately lured me."

After a long time, she sighed, "It's a pity. If you hadn't done such things, I'm afraid you would have been able to go back as a Jinshi. Your family is poor, and if your parents' spirits in heaven knew about it, they would definitely feel elated."

A trace of disgust flashed across Xu Chang's eyes, "I'm the one who failed them."

Cui Xuan tilted her head again, "Speaking of which, you and I feel sorry for each other. I also lost my parents since I was young. Thanks to the promotion of my servant, I can be where I am today. I remember the night when my mother left, there were heavy wind and rain, lightning and thunder. Yes, I will never forget it as long as I live."

There was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of Xu Chang's mouth, "Really, unfortunately I can't remember their appearance clearly." There was some emotion in his tone.

Cui Xuan lowered her eyelids gradually, then raised her head and smiled at him: "It's a poor man, you should rest well."

 Mother Cui: You bastard
