After Xin Ran hid behind the big stone and saw Xia Zhen leave, he did not ask Zhang Haishan as originally discussed with Chen Wenduan's brothers and sisters, but returned directly to the place where he lived. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When he entered the house, he saw that Chen Wenduan's brothers and sisters were already sitting in the house waiting for him.

Seeing this, Xin Ran couldn't help but be stunned, so he asked the two, "Why did you come back so early?"

Chen Ming's face was happy, and he replied without fun: "This Gonggong Li is very busy, and he went to play with the emperor's old son, and he didn't have time to see us, so we had to come back." ”

"Second brother, you came back early enough, why did you come so fast, could it be that there was something new to discover?" Chen Ming asked.

Xin Ran smiled: "I haven't seen Lord Zhang Haishan either"

"What's the matter, won't someone let you see him?" Chen Wenduan asked curiously.

"Not really. Xin Ran replied.

Then Xin Ran told the two of them in detail what he heard outside the house where Zhang Haishan was being held.

The two of them were dumbfounded when they heard this, Chen Ming has always been quick to talk, and said with a smile: "This is really getting more and more complicated, I didn't expect that Xia Zhen and Zhang Haishan both accused each other of being murderers." ”

Chen Wenduan lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Judging from what Brother Xin just described, there must be a very important secret between this Xia Zhen, Zhang Haishan, and the deceased Sun Jinnan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and there should be some kind of deal between the three of them. But now that Sun Jinnan is dead, it breaks the peace between them, causing the two people who are now alive to suspect each other that the other party killed Lord Zhang Haishan. ”

"Brother Chen Shi is really extraordinary, it's true, but we don't know what the secret between them is?" Xin Ran said.

Chen Wenduan replied: "This estimate will not be clear for a while, but as long as we investigate, there should be clues." ”

"Yes, this matter is getting more and more complicated, I think we have to pay close attention to Xia Zhen and Zhang Haishan recently. Xin Ran said.

Chen Wenduan took over the conversation and said: "That's it, let's divide the task, wait a minute, I'll go to Gonggong Li to see if he is idle; Chen Ming, just go and spy on Zhang Haishan, Brother Xin, I think you can go to the backyard of the palace to see which crazy eunuch, intuitively, I think there may be some clues from him. ”

"Brother Chen Shi is still very knowledgeable, just do what Brother Chen said, let's go our separate ways. Xin Ran said.

After the three of them discussed, they acted separately, and Xin Ran came directly to the backyard of the palace.

It is estimated that few people come here, only to see that the paint on the gate of the yard has fallen off, and the lock is also rusty, Xin Ran took off the lock hanging on the door knocker, and pushed open the gate into the yard.

The courtyard was full of weeds more than one person high, Xin Ran separated the weeds and came to the main hall in the middle of the courtyard, the door of the main hall was open, Xin Ran walked in to see, there was no one inside, only some tattered wooden furniture, a musty smell.

Xin Ran saw that there was no one in the main hall, so he came out and came to the east wing.

The door of the wing room was hidden, and there seemed to be movement inside, Xin Ran knocked on the door, and then shouted: "Is there anyone inside?"

But no one inside agreed, Xin Ran hesitated for a while, then pushed open the hidden door and entered.

When I walked into the room, I saw a chair and a small bed inside, and the crazy old eunuch was lying on the small bed, as if he was whispering something to himself.

Xin Ran walked to the side of the bed and shouted to the crazy eunuch: "Old man." ”

But the mad eunuch's eyes were glazed, and he looked at the roof, and did not react.

Xin Ran gently patted the crazy eunuch and shouted again: "Old man." ”

The crazy eunuch seemed to react a little, looking at Xin Ran, first smirked, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Murder, murder"

Xin Ran hurriedly asked, "Old man, tell me, who killed someone?"

But the old eunuch didn't care about Xin Ran's words, and still repeated the sentence: "Killed, killed." ”

Xin Ran sighed helplessly, turned around and walked outside the house, at this moment, Xin Ran suddenly saw a figure shaking outside the window, Xin Ran was startled, and picked up a wooden stick leaning on the side of the wall of the room, and used enough internal force to throw the sleeve arrow out of the window.

At the same time, Xin Ran unfolded his splitting palm, split the window with one palm, and then jumped out of the window.

Xin Ran looked up and saw a masked man covering his heart and about to jump on the roof, seeing that his chest might have been injured by the wooden stick just now.

Seeing this situation, Xin Ran shouted: "Who is Your Excellency and why are you here to snoop." ”

The man in black seemed to be a little afraid of Xin Ran, but he just smiled, didn't speak, and suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed Xin Ran, because he was in the palace, he couldn't bring weapons casually without the emperor's permission, so Xin Ran naturally didn't bring weapons.

Therefore, Xin Ran saw this masked man stabbing at him with a dagger, and seeing that this dagger was shining with cold light, it should be very sharp, so he didn't dare to be careless, and did not touch this masked man, but unfolded his body and flashed to the side.

The masked man seemed to expect Xin Ran to make such a move, and took this opportunity to throw the dagger at Xin Ran as a hidden weapon.

Taking advantage of Xin Ran's opportunity to dodge again, the masked man rushed out of the gate of the courtyard, and when Xin Ran chased him out, this person was nowhere to be seen.

Because there are so many small forks in the palace, Xin Ran came to this palace for the first time, so he didn't know which way the masked man was going for a while.

Xin Ran hesitated for a while, and then chased down the road he had just come, but after chasing for a long time, he didn't see the masked man.

Because the matter had not been clarified, Xin Ran didn't want the people in the palace to know, so he didn't ask the royal guards in the palace to help find it, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.

In this way, after a long time, it is estimated that the masked man has been hiding there a long time ago, Xin Ran thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Xin Ran didn't look for the masked man anymore, but prepared to go to Chen Wenduan's brothers and sisters to discuss and see what to do next.

Xin Ran just walked to the corner in front of him, and saw Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch of the West Lake Palace, hurrying over, and when he saw Xin Ran, he hurriedly said, "Gongzi Xin, I can find you." ”

Xin Ran saw that Gonggong Li looked in a hurry, and seemed to be very anxious, so he asked, "Gonggong Li, is there something wrong with me in such a hurry?"

Gonggong Li replied: "It's terrible, the sister of Lord Chen Wenduan, who came with you, killed Zhang Haishan, who was imprisoned."
