Chapter 273: The Culprit
Mingyang County, Qianwei Temple
"Miss, do you think the master is stunned?" Duoduo frowned slightly, looking puzzled. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Qian Qianqian smiled faintly, put down the pen in her hand and straightened up.
One by one, he patted Duoduo one by one, "What nonsense, when will it be your turn to talk more about this master?"
Duoduo pouted and muttered: "The master is indeed like a demon, and without saying anything, he sent Aunt Ma to the nunnery for cultivation, and sent the second lady directly back to the capital to let the old lady discipline her strictly." Who doesn't know that the old lady is notoriously strict, that is, the young lady is worthy of passing in the eyes of the old lady. The temperament of the second lady is definitely worse than death. ”
"Grandmother is really strict, but it's also for her good. Qian Qianqian said in a low voice.
"Miss, miss, something is wrong. Gao's mother ran in in a panic, sweating on her face.
Qian Qianqian looked at Gao's mother, who was out of shape, and hurriedly took two steps and asked, "What's wrong?"
She had an indescribable nervousness in her heart, you must know that Mother Gao is the big girl next to her mother, and she is usually the most disciplined and never makes a fuss.
Gao's mother breathed a sigh of relief, "Ma Jin was arrested by the master, and I heard that he was going to be sent to Pingyang for trial together." ”
Qian Qianqian's heart relaxed, "Nurse, I'm going to be scared to death by you, that kind of person has nothing to do with us, what are you panicking about?"
Gao's mother reacted and patted her thigh, "Yes, we should be happy." After saying that, he seemed to think of something and hurriedly ran out again.
Qian Qianqian had just walked back to the desk, and she walked back, "Miss, this is a soup for the master, you hurry up and bring it over, this time is the most suitable time to please the master." ”
Duoduo walked over and picked it up, "Mother Gao, it's been a long time since sunset, and the master may not have returned home yet." ”
"I'm back, I'm just going to find out if the master came back, so I found out about Ma Jin's house. Gao's mother responded.
Qian Qianqian smiled, "Then let's go, it's okay anyway." ”

Lan Jing took a few confessions and swaggered to Mrs. Lu's Peace Courtyard. Only Lin Chu was accompanying her, and her purpose this time, in addition to giving an explanation to the Lu family, was to ask who Lin Chu looked like.
The peace courtyard was still as quiet as ever, and the mothers-in-law guarding the courtyard door saw Lan Jing and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, let one person go in and pass it on, the younger generation has something to ask to see Mrs. Lu. Lan Jing said lightly.
The mother-in-law stood up and looked at each other, and finally the mother-in-law, dressed in brown clothes and pants, turned around and walked in.
But after a while, she came back, and with her was Mother Wang, Mother Wang's eyes lit up with surprise when she saw the two, and without waiting for Lan Jing to express her intentions, she hurriedly said: "Tang Shizi, please, Young Master Lin, please." ”
Lan Jing smiled and raised her feet and walked in, and when she entered the inside, she saluted as usual, and then sat on the chair next to her, "I haven't seen you for a long time, the older Madam Lu is, the more energetic she becomes." ”
Mrs. Lu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "This is all a blessing that has dragged you down." ”
Lan Jing took a sip of the tea on the table and put it down, "Actually, I came here this time because I wanted to ask Old Madam Lu something. ”
"Please say," Mrs. Lu said seriously.
Lan Jing glanced at Lin Chu and then turned his head to look at Old Madam Lu, "The juniors want to know what Old Madam Lu has to do with the Wenguo Mansion. ”
Old Madam Lu paused for a moment, she didn't expect Lan Jing to be so direct, and after giving Mother Wang a look, she didn't rush to answer, but took a sip of the tea beside her, and only after everyone in the house went out did she say leisurely. "Wenguo Mansion is the grandfather's house. ”
"You and the first queen..."Lan Jing's words were interrupted by Mrs. Lu before she finished speaking, "Shut up, what first queen, my cousin Wen Yan must still be alive and well." ”
Lan Jing was stunned for a moment, even if she said the wrong thing, she didn't have to be so angry. "I'm sorry, I don't know the truth, and I haven't heard of Empress Wen in the capital, so I misunderstood. ”
Old Madam Lu's mood eased down, and she raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "Actually, I don't blame you, I can only blame my cousin for her miserable life." ”
Seeing this, Mother Wang hurriedly went up to help her press her head, "Miss Cousin Jiren has her own natural appearance. ”
Old Madam Lu pulled down her hand, "No need to press it," after speaking, she sat up straight, looked at Lin Chu and asked, "Do you know who you are?"
Lin Chu glanced at Lan Jing and replied, "Uncle Wen said that my surname is Wen, and he is my father." ”
"Who is your father?" Old Madam Lu's excited hands trembled a little, and her voice trembled a little.
Lin Chu shook his head, "I don't know. "He didn't ask Uncle Wen's name, he only knew his name was Uncle Wen.
Old Madam Lu was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, it must be her cousin's son anyway, no matter who it was, she almost let it go.
Lan Jing didn't know Uncle Wen's name either, she didn't ask. After thinking for a while, he said, "Uncle Wen is now in Qingyuan County, you can ask him to come to see you or you can go to see him." ”
"What are you talking about?" Old Madam Lu heard clearly, but she couldn't believe it.
"When I didn't say anything," Lan Jing shrugged.
"Hurry up, go and call the boss. Mrs. Lu anxiously called Wang's mother to call someone.
Lan Jing smiled, "Don't worry about this first, you can take a look at the confession I brought first." ”
Mother Wang happened to walk next to Lan Jing, and after listening to Lan Jing's words, she hurriedly took a few confessions and sent them to Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu put her hand on the confession and knocked it one by one, and she was not in a hurry to open it to see.
Lan Jing's task was completed, and she didn't bother to care about what she would do with the mastermind, so she stood up and said, "The junior has retired first, if you want the address, wait for you to deal with this matter, and then ask." ”
Lin Chu also stood up, "I'll go back first." ”
Old Madam Lu nodded, and after Lan Jing and Lin Chu left, her face immediately pulled down, "Gather everyone in the family." ”
Mother Wang's heart trembled, and the young lady was still the short-tempered young lady back then.
After leaving the Peace Temple, I hadn't taken two steps before I met Yun'er.
Yun'er wore a light green skirt that looked delicate and eye-catching, and the belt around her waist made her bumpy figure fully show.
She smiled, put her hands on her waist, and gently blessed her body, "The slave has seen the prince." ”
"No courtesy" Lan Jing nodded, raised his feet and left.
Looking at Lan Jing's back, Yun Er stomped her feet several times angrily, this life is too woody, if it was the eldest young master, he would have already reached out.
………
A small courtyard in Pingyang City,
"Master, do you really want to report the adult?" the female voice was very low, but it was clearly audible.
The middle-aged man sighed, "My cousin wrote that his decision to cut the river was known to Lord Qincha, who went directly to the interception and waited to scold him, and said that if there was a next time, he would be killed. ”
The female voice was a little surprised, "There is still such an official, isn't he the pampered princess son?"
"He is the son of the eldest princess who disappeared ten years ago and has only recently been recovered. ”
"So, what does it have to do with you reporting the adult?" the female voice was still puzzled.
"It's not easy, so many girls..."
"That's none of your business, you're just a master bookkeeper..."
The man reached out and hugged the woman who made the female voice, "It's because I'm the master that I have some evidence." ”
"Could it be—" The woman tilted her face and couldn't say anything.
The man patted her, "Listening to my cousin's description, he is a good official, so he will definitely not send innocent people." ”
"My cousin is obviously scolding him in the letter..."
The man chuckled, "My cousin can still curse unscathed, which proves that he is not a bully, and my cousin said that Lord Qincha warned him, which shows that he is a fair and honest person." ”
"I can't say you, you can do it. The female voice said bitterly.
…………
Lan Jing looked at the anonymous letter on the bookcase and thought for a morning, and finally clapped his hands together, "Arrest Bai Zijian, escort him back to Beijing, and let the emperor send someone to interrogate him again." ”
Chen Xiang took the order to retreat, but after an hour, he turned back again, "Shizi, that Bai Zijian said that he was just derelict in his duties, even if he was guilty, he would not be on the rack." ”
Lan Jing looked up, "Ignore him." After saying that, he lowered his head again.
Chen Xiang retreated, and as soon as he went out of the door, he saw Wang Qiang with a smile on his face, and couldn't help asking, "What are you happy about?
Wang Qiang's mouth opened even more, "Dongzi, they are here, just outside the mansion, I will go to inform the prince." With that, he strode in.
"I've heard it, you go and tell Master Lu and let him arrange it. Lan Jing smiled.
Wang Qiang nodded hurriedly, "My subordinates will go here." ”
…………
After more than two months of running, Ma Qi was thin and dark, and he stood at the door for a while before he calmed down and knocked on Lan Jing's study door.
"Thank you, Uncle Ma. Lan Jing smiled.
Ma Qi scratched his head, "It's not hard, it's not hard..."
"Let's go down and have a good rest, the business here is almost over, let's go home, and then we will go back to Beijing. Lan Jing said.
Ma Qi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes..."
"Giggle," there was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" Lan Jing asked.
"Miss Yun'er was ordered by Old Madam Lu to bring you soup. The sound of a sign outside the house sounded.
"Send Lin Chu to the house. Lan Jing took it for granted that this was given to Lin Chu by Mrs. Lu, but it was just in her name.
Yun'er, who was outside the house, tightened her hand holding the tray when she heard this, so she had no choice but to follow Zhang Biao to other places with the soup, and in the end, Lan Jing's face was not seen.
………
Although Lan Jing didn't deliberately inquire about the Lu family's affairs, he still heard a little about it, and that Ma Fenfang was taken home.
At first, she was reluctant to die or live, but later Mrs. Lu directly asked people to prepare longevity materials for her, so she obediently packed up her things and went back to her parents' house.
Speaking of her mother's family, it's not easy now, because Ma Jin was arrested, and everything else was confiscated except for his family's ancestral home. Seeing this culprit, her sister-in-law wanted to tear her apart.
Lan Jing smiled at these, but Luo Xiaofan was very interested, and often asked the little guy to go out to inquire if someone had been killed.
………
Two days later, Lan Jing proposed his resignation to the Lu family, and Master Lu set up a banquet to entertain them.
Slightly drunk, Lan Jing had just returned to the courtyard when he saw a figure hiding in the corner, and Lin Chu, who was left behind, hurriedly walked and stood beside Lan Jing.
The figure moved outward, "Little brother is me, Jiajia." ”
Lan Jing frowned, "Jiajia, why are you hiding here?"
"Can you go to the side and talk?" Lu Yin asked timidly.
Lan Jing nodded, beckoning them to go in first.
Lu Yin swallowed his saliva, "Little brother, you, are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Well, you've been here long enough, and your case is closed, and now you have to escort people back to Beijing. Lan Jing said.
Lu Yin tugged at the corners of his clothes, and his voice was a little floating, "Little brother, will you come back?"
Lan Jing frowned, and said firmly: "My family is not here, what are you doing here?"
"Then I, can I still see you?" Lu Yin's voice drifted even more.
"It should be rare, unless you grow up and marry into the children of an official family in the capital, and you can participate in the palace banquet. Lan Jing said it very plainly.
Lu Yin paused, turned around and ran away.
Lan Jing stood in her direction for a moment before turning around and walking into the room.
I thought everyone had gone back to the house, but I didn't expect everyone to sit and wait for her.
"Cousin Jing, that Miss Lu has affection for you. Luo Xiaofan asked with a smile on his face slightly red from drinking too much wine.
Lan Jing gave him a roll of the eyes, "The little girl is only eleven years old, and she knows what kind of love and love." ”
"You don't understand this, I liked Yanyan when I was eight years old, Yanyan is so good-looking, her little face is red every day like Pinpo fruit, I really want to take a bite. Luo Xiaofan said and smashed his mouth.
The corners of Lan Jing's mouth twitched, "The little girl is not a foodie, so she is different from you." ”
"As far as I say, Xiaojing, that little girl must be interesting to you. Qin Tongxi patted his chest and said.
Lan Jing sat down on a chair beside her, "Why do you say that, are you also the future cousin that you like at the age of eight?"
Qin Tongxi's already red face turned even redder, "Actually, I liked Qianqian when I was five years old, at that time her mother had just passed away, she hid in the corner and cried, I was very uncomfortable to see, and I couldn't even eat when I went home, so I vowed to protect her and let her never cry again." ”
"You are really precocious, but just because you are like this doesn't mean that other little girls are like this. Forget it, don't talk nonsense with you, it's boring, I'm going to rest. With that, he stood up.
Yang Jiarong was the only one who didn't have a favorite girl, so he echoed: "I also think that the little girl is still young, and she should treat Xiaojing as an elder brother." ”
Lan Jing gave him a thumbs up, "Only you are the most awake." ”
Yang Jiarong smiled, "What they said also makes sense, but you..."
Before he finished his words, Lin Chu pulled him out, "You're drunk, go back and rest." ”
Qin Tongxi and Luo Xiaofan glanced at each other, and automatically walked out of Lan Jing's room.
Lan Jing was just about to close the door, Lin Chu came back again, looking at him, Lan Jing asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"When are we going home?" Lin Chu looked at Lan Jing directly, he felt that it was better to go home first and make a kiss safe.
Lan Jing thought for a moment, "I may not be able to go back for the time being, and I have to escort people back." ”
