Song Yidao, who was standing to the side, immediately started crying loudly upon hearing this. ”You wicked woman who kills with a thousand knives! After all, my poor sister knew what you were up to and wanted you to hate her for it, not only did you kill her, but you also blinded her and deafened her so that she couldn't say no! You are truly worse than a beast! ”

The middle-aged man shouted loudly, ”Roaring is prohibited in the court! You can leave now. If the case is progressing, I will send someone to inform you that I know. ”

Seeing that Song Yi'e had left, Lv Yun then anxiously said: ”Master, you have made a clear observation, this matter has nothing to do with our shopkeeper, even if it's the silver needle, I was the one who found it.”

The Registrar Official rubbed his hands, ”There are many suspicious points in this case, I will find out everything. I will not wrongly accuse a good person, and I will not let a bad person get away.”

Outside the yamen, Gui Qi had been waiting with the Lin'er for a long time. Before dawn, it had just rained on his Xin Ning, but now, the road was filled with water.

Even when she saw Song Yidao leave, she still did not manage to wait out Jin Xiaolou.

She was anxious, but back then they were in a hurry to leave the Mountain Note, so Gui Qi, who had nothing to offer, took off her hairpin and passed it to the yamen runner, asking her about the situation inside.

The yamen runner looked at her and saw the bright pearl on her chest. Then, he placed it in his bosom and said to Huang Guizhi: ”Miss, quickly take your child and go back. The wind outside is heavy, and it might rain later.

”This... ”Why is that?” Huang Guizhi was even more anxious.

The yamen runner lowered his voice and slowly said, ”The owner of Mountain Note is a first-tier suspect. He won't be able to come out before the case is solved.”

Seeing that the person in front of him was sweating profusely, the bailiff continued: ”Don't be in such a hurry. We haven't convicted him of not being able to go to jail. Our Mr. Nian is a merciful man. He eats well and drinks well in this yamen. He can't take any grievances!”

Gui Qi was only half relieved, while the other half was still worried for Jin Xiaolou.

Looking around, he saw that the streets were bustling with pedestrians.

The Mountain Note had been closed and the servants had all gone home. Zhou Shuli had not come back since his visit yesterday morning.

For a moment, there was nowhere to go, nowhere to look.

The cold wind blew from head to toe, chilling the entire body to the feet. Gui Zhi carefully covered the Lin'er, wanting to find a restaurant to stay.

After all, he did not sleep last night, so it was time for Lin'er to eat.

Not long after she walked along Soundwave Street with the child in her arms, a soft sedan covered with silk curtains stopped in front of her.

The tassel on the sedan chair's roof swayed non-stop, the man with a full beard bowed to Huang Guizhi and said: ”Young miss, please get on the sedan.”

Gui Qi was startled. He was a bit confused as he hugged the Lin'er tightly, lowered his head and walked around, thinking that they had recognized the wrong person.

Unexpectedly, the palanquin also came forward, and stopped right in front of Huang Guizhi, and blocked her way.

”Who are you people?” This time, Gui Qi understood that the sedan chair was indeed coming for her. She raised her head and doubtfully asked the sedan chair bearer.

The sedan bearer did not show any expression on his face. He just said, ”Lady, please get on the sedan.”

Gui Zhi was a bit angry. How could he let someone get on the palanquin in broad daylight without knowing the reason behind it? In a moment of anger, he turned around and was about to leave.

Just as he turned his back, he heard the sedan bearer say, ”Lady, you can't go far if your shoes are wet. Why don't you believe me and follow me?”

Huang Guizhi's body trembled. She suddenly turned her head and looked at the palanquin man.

The sedan bearer's expression remained the same as he bowed and waited for the person in front of him to get on the sedan.

The words were clear to the ears, and Gui Qi could clearly remember them.

Back then, when she found herbs for Gao Lang and entered the forest in the dark, she almost fell off the tall cliff due to an accident.

At this critical moment, that man saved him.

The torches were bright and flickering, casting shadows on the branches and leaves of the trees, casting deep and dark shadows everywhere.

For some reason, she was held horizontally in someone's arms. She was ashamed and angry at the same time, and she struggled to get down.

That person's voice resounded in his ears.

”Young lady, you can't go far without your shoes. Why don't you believe me and come with me?”

Gui Zhi was already exhausted physically and mentally, but he was also frightened. The moment he heard these words, his heart unexpectedly calmed down, and he immediately fainted after closing his eyes.

When he woke up, he was already in the camp in the forest …

From that day until now, Gui Zhi had never seen that person. He really thought that it was a dream, and when he woke up, it would vanish like a wisp of smoke.

Gui Zhi took a deep breath, stepped forward, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and sat down.

He sat in the palanquin for an unknown period of time. Lin'er woke him up twice, and coaxed him to sleep twice more.

The sedan-bearer said, ”Lady, we are here.”

As soon as Gui Qi stepped out of his sedan chair, he saw a large ship docked on the shore.

The river was flowing rapidly. Due to the rain, the river was murky and had a fishy smell. One could smell the damp air in the distance.

Judging from the direction of the river, it should be the City River.

There were weeping willows on the embankments in the city of Xin Ning, but this section of the river embankment was completely bare, with only pebbles and boulders around. Presumably, it was outside the city.
