When Aning came to the main hall, Sun Jin had been waiting for a long time.

"Sun Shangshu." Aning smiled, interrupting Sun Jin's contemplation, "Why did you suddenly think of me on this snowy day?"

"I..." Sun Jin pursed his lips, his Adam's apple slid up and down a few times, but he hesitated, "I just want to ask you for something."

"Tell me." An Ning nodded in response, took up the tea at hand and drank it with a look of comfort in his eyes.

As soon as the voice fell, Sun Jin did not speak for a while.

A Ning didn't rush him, she just went silent with him, drinking tea while waiting for his next words.

After a while, she suddenly heard Sun Jin say something like this—

"Ying Yushi, can you go to jail with me to interrogate Jiang Heng?"

Anyone.

These questions took a long time, and Jiang Heng spat out a lot of answers.

However, he would not say anything about the whereabouts of Jiang Chengxuan and Jiang Yu'an.

Sun Jin found a lot of things these days, and gradually began to suspect that the relationship between Aning and the Jiang family was not normal, so he deliberately wanted to ask Aning to go to prison with him. See how Jiang Heng reacts when he sees her.

Perhaps these can be used as a breakthrough in investigation.

Also... verify the guesses that have been floating in his mind these days.

Thinking like this, Sun Jin looked at Aning's face and waited nervously for her response.

"Okay." But she never thought that the person in front of her would respond so happily, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

Sun Jin was a little stunned.

"But what difficulties did you encounter during the interrogation?" Aning said, looking like before, "Sun Shangshu should tell me about it."

"I know more, and I will have a direction when I do an investigation in prison."

"Okay." Sun Jin nodded in response, and only talked to Aning in general, but did not reveal too many details.

A Ning listened with a smile in his eyes, and he responded with a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"So, now, whether it is the whereabouts of the remaining two people or the decisive evidence of this case, I haven't found it, right?" After a while, Aning made a conclusion.

"Yes." Sun Jin nodded.

"

"I used to be a prefect when I arrived. Even if I have become a prisoner now, the courtesy is naturally indispensable." She smiled, looked in the direction of Sun Jin, and asked softly, "Sun Shangshu, don't you think so?"

"Yes..." Sun Jin nodded.

When the two baskets of cakes were ready to come up, An Ning specially gave Sun Jin a look and asked him to check whether there was anything unusual in them.

Sun Jin heard the words and looked inside, and saw that it was just an ordinary pastry, and there was no other abnormality.

Aning put on the baffle again, the two of them put on their coats, didn't say anything, just walked out together.

The wind and snow outside was getting bigger at this time, and the two of them were sitting in the sedan chair, but their hair was still wet by the wind and snow that accidentally blew in.

"The snow is really heavy." An Ning sat in the sedan chair without changing his face and said softly, as if it was a little cold from the wind, and after a while he coughed softly, "I don't know. When can you stop?"

Seeing her coughing, Sun Jin looked a little worried, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's alright." Aning shook his head, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and put it on his lips as a cover, "Sun Shangshu is better to stay away from me, but don't get caught by me accidentally. Hired."

The whole body of the handkerchief is white, with a lifelike koi embroidered on it, and there are several blooming lotus flowers all over the body.

"Where did you get this handkerchief from?" Sun Jin was a little curious, "This is the first time I have seen the handkerchief used by Ying Shi, and it is so beautiful."

"That's natural." Aning smiled, "After all, Wan Yan is a woman after all, no matter what she does in terms of political performance. It's not surprising that some little girls use personal objects."

"It's not surprising, of course, that you can embroider something."

"You embroidered it yourself?" Sun Jin heard what she meant.

Aning just smiled, noncommittal.

During the time they were talking, the sedan chair had also reached its destination.

An Ning and Sun Jin got off the sedan one after the other, led by a few people in front, and gradually went deep into the dungeon.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Aning could not help frowning slightly.

.

leaning against the wall, eyes closed.

"Wake up!" The jailer was not polite to him at all, he opened the door a crack, walked in and splashed water to wake him up, "Our lords are here to see you!"

Sun Shangshu!"

"Huh." Jiang Heng twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, completely unmoved.

Seeing this, the jailer raised his foot to kick him again.

"Don't be rude!" In the end, Sun Jin stopped him, so he didn't tell him to kick again.

Aning raised his lips and smiled, squatted down gently, and looked at Jiang Heng from one mile away.

"Prefect Jiang." She said, all her words and deeds were very polite, "This seems to be the first time we have had such a close contact, the junior is polite."

Even if he was in the imperial court, he has never contacted Jiang Heng actively. In addition, Jiang Heng is usually arrogant and an old minister who has accompanied the emperor for many years. To help young people, I never took the initiative to look at Aning.

So even though Aning has been in court for three years, Jiang Heng still hasn't recognized his identity.

But this time is different. The purpose of her coming this time is to make Jiang Heng recognize her.

"Bah!" Jiang Heng was tortured for so long in prison, and he was extremely resentful to anyone, and he would have the same attitude towards Aning.

Until...he suddenly felt that the person in front of him looked familiar.

The more I look at it, the more I feel like I have seen it somewhere, and the impression may be quite deep.

Where the...

Jiang Heng frowned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this person was not the maid who had been wandering around his daughter many years ago!

Yu An seemed to like her very much, and even knelt down and begged for her.

How come she is doing so well now!

Jiang Heng couldn't figure it out, he just stared at her for a while, without saying a word.

Seeing his appearance, An Ning knew that he definitely remembered himself.

"Prefect Jiang, let's get straight to the point." Aning smiled and said slowly, "Can you tell the juniors where the second son and the third miss are?"

She said this, and then covered her face with the handkerchief and coughed softly.

It was like a deliberate look for Jiang Heng.

Although Jiang Heng is old, his eyes are very good, and he saw the handkerchief in her hand.

You can't go wrong, this handkerchief must have been embroidered by his daughter!

From a long time ago, every time the Chinese New Year came, Jiang Zhinan would always embroider some small objects for Jiang Taishou and the two older brothers. As time went on, even Jiang Zhinan, who knew nothing about women red You can also recognize her daughter's needlework at a glance.

I didn't expect that he would see something made by his daughter in Aning's hands today.

This person in front of her is clearly asking herself about Jiang Zhinan's whereabouts, but she is holding something that belongs to her.

Unless...she did it on purpose.

Jiang Heng thought about this, and when he looked at her again, his eyes were obviously mixed with a little different emotion.

"You'd better tell me earlier." Aning said, "Junior time is still very tight. If you go back late, I'm afraid some people in the family will be unhappy."

After saying this, she covered her lips with the napkin and coughed a few times.

These actions are not surprising in the eyes of others, but now Jiang Heng is looking at them, but she quickly understands what she means.

Although it is not 100% sure, but now it seems that her daughter should not be in danger, it is estimated that she was hidden by the person in front of her.

And Sun Jin behind him is not actually of one mind.

Jiang Heng thought about it this way, and thought about it for a while in his heart. After a while, he stood up gently and walked towards the direction of Aning.

"That's good." He smiled, waved at Aning in front of him, motioned her to come over, "Come, I'll tell you."

"Understood." Aning responded, then got up and moved forward with Jiang Heng.

The two are getting closer and closer, and at the end there is only one door separating them.

Aning turned his ears.

Then Jiang Heng slowly moved forward, and finally attached to Aning's side.

Then... opened her mouth and bit her ear fiercely.

"Hey!" Behind him, Sun Jin and the jailer panicked and quickly stepped forward to separate the two.

"Ying Yushi!" Sun Jin hurriedly called someone to get the medicine, his expression full of tension, "Are you all right, does it hurt?"

"It's okay..." An Ning responded, taking a breath, her lips turning white.

The status is clearly poor.

"Another day!" Sun Jin stomped his feet and told the prison guards to close the cell door again. He hurriedly helped Aning out of the dungeon and returned to the sedan chair to wrap her up. wound.

"Wan Yan is ashamed." Aning's face was pale, and he murmured in pain, "I didn't help."

"Stop talking about this!" Sun Jin blamed himself, "It's all my fault, I knew that Jiang Heng was too difficult to deal with, and asked you to join me in the interrogation, it was all me not good…"

"It's all right." Aning shook his head, closed his eyes and leaned back, shrouded in exhaustion and tiredness, "Send me back first."

"Okay." Seeing that she was tired, Sun Jin didn't bother her anymore, just told the person carrying the sedan chair to hurry up.

A Ning listened without saying a word, and after a while there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The case has not progressed for so long, which means that there must be some key things that have not been found.

Jiang Heng has been an official for so many years, so he naturally knows the truth of sailing carefully for ten thousand years.

Although it can't save the overall situation, it can at least save his life, so that he can drag on forever and stay alive in prison.

A Ning came this time to find out where the thing was.

She deliberately showed him the handkerchief, on the one hand, to make him believe in herself, on the other hand, to arouse his conscience.

Actually, before coming, Aning didn't have 100% confidence to ask anything, so she hid poison in the basket of cakes she ordered.

The dose is not large, it will not die on the spot, but it will not let Jiang Heng see the sun tomorrow.

Fortunately, she did not send out the basket of cakes.

Jiang Heng is not a good official, but he is a good father.

Before Aning bit his ear, Jiang Heng actually spit out a few words.

But because of the close proximity of the two and the dim light in the prison, no one noticed—

The words he spat out were City God Temple.

As An Ning thought about it, the injured ear suddenly hurt again, causing her to grit her teeth unconsciously.

It's pretty strong.

But... I found another reason for Jiang Zhinan to comfort and feel sorry for him.
