Chapter 269: Cloudy and Clear
"Do you need someone to cover you? Who dares to show you the face in the whole Daqing? β
Lan Jing glanced at Qin Tongxin and said lightly: "Who knows what will happen in the future?" β
Qin Tongxi was silent when he heard this, the emperor loves Xiaojing so much, after a hundred years, it is really impossible to say whether the new emperor will wear small shoes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"By the way, why didn't you see Luo Xiaofan, where did he die?"
Yang Jiarong laughed, "He, he walks the streets and alleys every day to find delicious food, and he is generally not seen." β
"Well, forget he's a foodie..."
Before Lan Jing finished speaking, Luo Xiaofan's voice came in from outside the door, "You are a foodie, as soon as you come back, you will know that you will speak ill of me, hey, senior brother, you are here, senior brother, I miss you." β
Everyone shook their heads speechlessly, and Lan Jing was even more speechless, if she wasn't really sure that he had a fiancΓ©e and liked it very much, she would have suspected that he had broken his sleeves.
"By the way, Xiaojing, what's the investigation?" Qin Tongxin straightened his expression, looked at Lan Jing seriously and asked.
"The person who tried to kidnap my cousin has been arrested, the mastermind is in this yard, and he can't escape, as for the rest, he is still investigating."
"Miss Ben told you to get out of the way."
"The prince commands that no one shall come near unless you are not a man."
Qian Qiqi glared at him, "I, can I be the same?" After speaking, seeing that he was still stopping, he stomped his foot angrily and shouted loudly: "Brother Jing, Brother Jing, I'm Qiqi, I made soup for you, you tell them to let me in." β
Lan Jing supported her forehead, is it really good for this ancient woman to be so violent?
Sighing and about to speak, Luo Xiaofan had already walked out in three steps and two steps, he pointed at Qian Qiqi and said, "Don't miss my cousin Jing, don't say that you are a concubine, you are a concubine, and my imperial aunt can't look down on the concubine of a fourth-grade official." β
Qian Qiqi was stunned by what she said, she never thought about this, she never felt that she was not worthy of Brother Jing.
What does Brother Jing think? Do you think she doesn't deserve him? That's why you don't want to see her, are you afraid that you will like her more and more?
What should she do? Qian Qiqi was very flustered, she couldn't think of a way, just when she was about to cry, the maid Chunling next to her pulled her, "Miss, aunt..."
Qian Qiqi woke up suddenly, yes, and her mother, her mother must have a way, thinking of this, she quickly turned around and left quickly.

Ma Jin strode in and said with a straight face: "What are you doing here?" β
The monkey hurriedly stood up, "Adult, the villain heard that the son of the world is back, villain, villain..."
"Now that you know he's back, you still have the courage to run out." Ma Jin glared at him angrily.
"Adult, or let the little one go home...", the monkey asked tentatively.
Ma Jin's eyes rolled, "Since you don't want to be here, it's okay to go back to your hometown." β
The monkey breathed a sigh of relief, and Ma Jin glanced at him, "Daxing, send the monkey." β
"No, no," the monkey waved his hand repeatedly, he didn't dare to let anyone send it.
"Since you said no, then you won't send it, but if you can give me a message, I won't treat you badly, here is a hundred taels of silver, you take the carriage back." Ma Jin took out a purse from his bosom and gave it to the monkey.
The monkey's surprised hands trembled slightly, took the purse and put it in his arms, bowed to Ma Jin several times before turning around and walking out.
Behind him, Ma Jin made a gesture to Da Xing on the side, Da Xing nodded clearly, and walked out after the monkey.

Lan Jing smiled when he received the news, and ordered in a low voice: "Send someone to follow him closely, keep an eye on him, and send more people out to the major restaurants to investigate, have you seen a lot of girls anywhere." β
"Yes," Wang Qiang responded, "Does Qinglou still need to send someone to make an unannounced visit?" β
"What, if you go once, you're going to get addicted?" Lan Jing looked at him teasingly.
Wang Qiang's face flushed, "Shizi, my subordinates didn't dare to look around." β
"It's nothing, men, it's normal to like beautiful women." Lan Jing laughed.
"It's really not, Shizi, don't get me wrong." Wang Qiang hurriedly explained.
"What, you like ugly girls? There are beautiful women around you, and if you like ugly girls, I can't introduce you to them. Lan Jing shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
"Shizi..."Wang Qiang cried with a sad face.
"Okay, I'm going to tease you, hurry up and go down and keep an eye on people, complete it as soon as possible, return to Beijing as soon as possible, and introduce you to beautiful women as soon as possible so that you can get married as soon as possible." After Lan Jing finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to look at the information in his hand.
After Wang Qiang retreated, Qin Tongxin walked in, "Xiaojing, is there anything I can do to help?" β
Lan Jing looked up at him, "I really want you to help, we can't find the location of their hiding people now, it's not a way, I want you to watch and send people to search everywhere, if it's still in Mingyang County, they will definitely be in a hurry, they will show their feet, if it's not in Mingyang County, I can also make arrangements as soon as possible." β
"If you search, you have to move a lot of people, will this disturb the people?" Yang Jiarong came in from behind, listened to Lan Jing's words, and hurriedly asked.
"As long as you don't destroy everywhere, don't be afraid, by the way, tomorrow I will prepare a list and post it to the whole people, and if someone can provide a hiding place for those girls, reward him with 10,000 taels."
"One, ten thousand taels? Wouldn't it be too much, so those..."
Lan Jing hooked her lips, "That's what you want." β
As long as one of them sees the wealth, then things will be easy.
"Is that still searching?" Qin Tongxin asked.
"Of course you have to search, you have to give them a sense of urgency, let them be afraid, only when they are afraid, will they mess up." Lan Jing's voice said firmly.
Qin Tongxin nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled Yang Jiarong, "You can accompany me." β
"Is there anything I can help me with? I can help too. Luo Xiaofan leaned over and asked with a smile.
Lan Jing wrote a few words on the paper, then folded them and handed them to Luo Xiaofan, "Help me hand them over to Mrs. Lu, and by the way, let Pingyang County guard the port, strictly inspect every ship leaving the port, and ensure that all the items on each ship, including people, are recorded." β
Luo Xiaofan looked at the paper in his hand, "It's too far, I don't want to go." β
"You asked for help yourself, but I didn't force you, it's too far away, how can you praise you with the emperor if you let me go back?" Lan Jing looked at him with disdain.
Luo Xiaofan collapsed his face, "Okay, okay, but let senior brother come with me." β
Lin Chu immediately stood up when he heard this, "I have to follow Xiao Jing." β
Luo Xiaofan grabbed him and pulled him out, "Cousin Jing has so many people following, I don't need you to follow." β
Lin Chu stood upright, Luo Xiaofan pulled twice without pulling, turned to look at Lan Jing and said, "Cousin Jing, you let Senior Brother accompany me, otherwise I won't go." β
Lan Jing glanced at Lin Chu and thought for a while, "Lin Chu, you can go together." β
Lin Chu's eyes flashed with loss, and he looked at Lan Jing fixedly and didn't speak.
Lan Jing sighed and walked to his side, and said softly: "You also know that Luo Xiaofan is an unreliable person, if you only let him go alone, I am afraid that he will not help, you are different, you are serious and careful, I believe in you." β
When Lin Chu heard this, his face finally turned cloudy and clear, and Lan Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, these children really want to be coaxed.
β¦β¦β¦
After another three days, things have not progressed on this side, and on the other side, Chen Ziyi and others have already arrived in Mingshan Town. They entered the town at night, for fear of attracting attention.
Under the leadership of Yang Tie, they stood in line at the door of the blue house.
Yang Ji slapped the door three times, and only then did such a question sound on the other side of the door.
As soon as he was about to speak, Yang Tie spoke up, "It's your Grandpa Yang, open the door quickly." β
Lan Xiao let out two oh oh sounds, and hurriedly pulled the door bolt open.
As soon as the door opened, the people outside pushed the door in, and more than 20 people came in in a fright, so frightened that Lan Xiao was stunned.
Because they are all rough people, they can't be quiet, but in an instant, the whole family is noisy.
Lan Youfu was wearing a coat and holding a candle in his hand, and he was followed by Wang, who was also wearing an overcoat, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, tears burst out of her eyes.
Although Wang Zhenshi has not seen his daughter for more than ten years, the appearance of his daughter is deeply engraved in her mind, and now as soon as she appears, she recognizes it, and strides over to hug her and cry loudly.
Lan Xiu and Lan Yue were infected by the crying and touched their tears, Lan looked at the sisters who were standing side by side crying, and hurriedly walked over and hugged them, "Don't cry, don't cry, this is a happy meeting." β
Lan Youfu reacted and hurriedly said, "Xiao'er, go and see what else to eat in the kitchen, they should be hungry." β
Lan Xiao was about to leave, and Ruyi immediately stood up, "I'll go and help too, I was helping in the kitchen before." β
Yang Ji hurriedly said: "Then I'll also help, I'm the best at burning fires." β
Everyone laughed meaningfully, Yang Ji coughed, and his dark face turned red.
Lan Youfu invited people into the hall, and after they sat down, he said: "Xiao Jing said that you are coming, and then he prepared a place, just next door, and after dinner, I will take you over." The mattresses in the room are all new, all of them are made, Xiao Jing and her mother look at it three times a day, and they are looking forward to you. β
Wang glanced at him with disgust, "Don't talk nonsense. β
Lan Youfu scratched his head, "It's the truth." β
Wang Zhenshi glanced at everyone in the hall, "You said that Xiao Jing is back, what about her?" Still sleeping? β
Wang sighed, "Xiao Jing went to the county, saying that he was investigating the disappearance of a girl, and he has been gone for several days, and no news has come back, and I don't know what happened." β
"No wonder all counties are strictly investigating, fortunately we are well prepared, otherwise we would have to be left behind." Yang Ji walked in with tea.
After serving tea separately, he said, "That girl named Xiao'er is making noodles for everyone, and said that everyone should wait patiently." β
Chen Ziyi turned her head to look at Yuan Wenxin, "I'm not very hungry, Xin'er, are you hungry?" β
Yuan Wenxin was slightly uncomfortable, turned her head to the other side, and said softly: "I'm not hungry, is Yu'er hungry?" β
Li Ziyu smiled, "I'm not hungry either." β
"This is, this is the little master?" Wang asked.
Hearing this, Li Ziyu stood up and saluted to the Wang family, "I'm no longer the little young master you said, call me Yu'er, my name is Yuan Ziyu now." β
Wang hurriedly stood up, "If your surname is Yuan, then you are our little young master." β
Yuan Wenxin looked at it with a faint smile, "Call him Yu'er, there will be no young lady or young master or anything like that in the future, we are your mother's family, and we came to seek refuge with you because of the disaster in our hometown." β
Chen Ziyi hurriedly echoed, "Yes, we are my mother's family. β
Li Ziyu glared at Chen Ziyi, "Uncle Chen, along the way, you will echo whatever my mother says, is it interesting?" β
Chen Ziyi was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, Wang Chuanzhi glanced at him, "Yu'er, how can you talk to your elders?" β
Li Ziyu pursed his lips, "It's because he doesn't look like an elder." β
"Xiao Jing is younger than you, but how much more stable do you think he is than you?" Yuan Wenxin said.
"My big sister is not comparable to ordinary people, she said that she has her own aura." Lan Xuan said proudly.
Chen Ziyi and the others were shocked by the title of sister, and Wang Zhenshi asked curiously: "What is the aura?" I didn't see her bring it. β
Lan Xuan ran to Wang Zhen's face, "I also asked my eldest sister what the aura was, but she didn't tell me, she said let me read more, and the answer is in the book." β
Wang Zhenshi bent down to pick him up and let him sit on her lap, "Then have you read a good book?" β
Lan Xuan tilted his head back, "I looked, why didn't I read it, that is, there are still a lot of words that I can't recognize." β
"Xiao Jing is really a girl?" Chen Ziyi reacted from the shock. When he asked this, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Jing's face standing in front of the corpse.
Is she really a girl? If so, then he is too bold, even a person like him who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years has a little chill in his heart.
Li Ziyu also looked at Lan Youfu in disbelief and waited for his answer.
Lan Youfu was a little surprised, "Didn't she tell you?" β
Chen Ziyi shook her head, "You know? β
"I know, Lao Wang should know it too." Yang Tiedao.
Wang Chuanzhi nodded hurriedly, "Didn't I say it?" β
"Dad, you didn't even tell me." Wang Yingying complained.
Wang Chuanzhi touched his beard, "I'm old and I don't have a good memory, I thought I said it." β
"The noodles are coming, the noodles are coming, everyone eats them first." Yang Ji walked in with a large basin, and behind him, Ruyi and Lan Xiao walked in with dishes and chopsticks.
I don't know if it's because I'm hungry or if the noodles are really delicious, but in the blink of an eye, the noodles are finished.
Wang Chuanzhi finished drinking the soup and put it down the bowl, "Your skills are really good." β
Lan Xiao smiled, "It's all taught to me by Xiao Jing." β
"That girl can still make food?" Wang Chuanzhi asked in surprise.
"The big sister's craftsmanship is good, especially the steamed cake, which is not tired of eating." Lan Xuan emerged from Wang Zhen's arms, "Little sister, did you say that?" β
Lan Yue nodded hurriedly, "Big sister will cook a lot of food." β
"Then when she comes back, let her do the same for us." Wang Chuanzhi said.
"What's so hard about this, but my eldest sister may not come back so soon, at least she won't come back until her brother's exam." Lan Xuan said.
"Big sister told you? She didn't even tell me. Lan Yue sulked.
"You didn't askβ" Lan Xuan muttered.
