Lu Zhiyao and Lu Yuanzheng talked in a low voice about Gu Ran's killing, and Lin Yinan listened on the sidelines and did not express any opinions.

He also knew about this matter, and Gu Ran's head was still taken away by Li Muchen. Thinking of the reason why Gu Ran would be killed, Lin Yinan felt that it was not so difficult to accept.

"Do so many people already know about this?" Lu Zhiyao looked at Lu Yuanzheng with a puzzled expression. "A lot of people have mentioned it to you?"

If the Gu family is just an ordinary businessman, then forget it, but before the Chu family entered Beijing, the Gu family could be regarded as the best business in this part of the capital, and the money and goods handed over to the court every year were also very large, so Gu Ran had a good relationship with many court officials, and the Ye family was one of them. Gu Nuochu and Ye Shengnan often appeared together, and the two of them had done all the bad things of eating, drinking, and having fun. It was because of Ye Shengnan's relationship that Lu Yuanzheng was pulled together by those talkative ministers and talked about Gu Ran's killing.

Gu Nuochu's death has already shocked many people, and now with Gu Ran, this makes many people's eyes look at the Chu family. Some people think that the Chu family did it, and some people also think that the Chu family has no need for that at all, because the Chu family has already surpassed the Gu family in business three months after arriving in the capital.

Lu Yuanzheng casually talked to Lu Zhiyao about the things he knew, and occasionally mentioned the Chu family, but he didn't think that the Chu family would have anything to do with the Eight Emperors' Mansion.

Lin Yinan didn't speak, but put on an expression of interest, so Lu Yuanzheng talked all the way, until he walked into the study and talked about serious things with the two.

If it weren't for the Chu family, Lu Zhiyao thought, she might not have investigated Gu Ran's death all the time.

Gu Nuochu is Gu Ran's only son, both of them are dead, and the Gu family's business is in whose hands, Lu Zhiyao is not interested in this. However, many of the Chu family's shops were inspected by the government again and again, so they had to attract her attention.

This matter was not said by Chu Ziqian, although Chu Ziqian also had a headache because of this matter, but he did not think about solving this matter through Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao and Wanyue, who were sitting at the window seat eating, were attracted by the large number of officers and soldiers who suddenly poured in outside. Curiously watching those people come violently, they went straight upstairs, thinking that there would be something lively to see, but after about a quarter of an hour, these people left slowly.

"I was startled, I thought it was coming for us." Wanyue whispered to Lu Zhiyao, glancing at the people passing by the window, frowning, and guessing, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and ate silently, his ears automatically collecting the words of nearby diners. When she heard those people say that it had been like this here for the past half month, Lu Zhiyao subconsciously felt that maybe things were not so simple.

Even if Chu Ziqian couldn't pull down his face and beg himself and Lin Yinan for help, he wouldn't be able to deal with those people in the yamen. If these people dare to make trouble like this, there must be someone behind them. Specifically aimed at the Chu family, the goal is clear enough, saying that he is a wanted criminal who came to find the imperial court, but none of them can find clues from here.

After eating, Lu Zhiyao took Xuanyue around the street. Taking the guards who followed behind as air, the two of them stopped and walked for a while before turning around and walking towards the Eight Emperors' Mansion.

Encountering the oncoming officers and soldiers, Lu Zhiyao raised his eyes and saw that it was the one he had just met in the restaurant.

Lu Zhiyao stopped and watched them leave, and immediately found Lan Ruoyan after returning to the Eight Emperors' Mansion and asked about it.

Lan Ruoyan sighed faintly, and talked to Lu Zhiyao about the truth of the matter with some helplessness. There is nothing she can do about this matter, not for anything else, just because this matter is approved by the emperor.

"Your Majesty?!" Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, did the Chu family offend the emperor in any way? They don't have the guts...... "What the hell is going on?" Lu Zhiyao's eyes sank, and then asked.

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that I was indeed looking for some wanted criminal, this order was personally given by the criminal department Shangshu, and the large and small restaurants and inns in the capital have been searched, but you also know that more than half of the shops in the capital are almost all Chu family, so the biggest loss is their family."

"You are also a member of the Criminal Department, since you are the person who is going to be arrested by the imperial court, there is no reason not to let you, the person who is quick to arrest, know what the identity of the other party is. Who is it that deserves to let the emperor and the criminal department Shangshu come forward in person? So mysterious? The more Lu Zhiyao thought about it, the more he felt that something was not quite right, "Does Yi Nan know about this matter?" ”

"Zhilu said, but the master doesn't seem to have any intention of interfering in this matter."

Lu Zhiyao was silent for a moment, then waved his hand to signal Lan Ruoya to leave first. "Help me keep an eye on this, I want to know who they are looking for."

In any case, Chu Ziqian is now considered to be working for the Eight Emperors' Mansion, although this person is not a decent gentleman, but he has also been calculated by Lu Zhiyao a few times. If you can help, Lu Zhiyao will naturally help. And Lu Zhiyao is still faintly worried about another thing in his heart, Xia Han is also a prisoner of the imperial court, her existence should not be discovered, right?

The queen's people have always stayed in the Eight Emperors' Mansion and never left, and during this time, Lu Zhiyao also figured out how many masters were hidden inside. Regarding the fact that he has an entourage to follow him every time he goes out, Lu Zhiyao felt that it was nothing at first, but then he gradually felt that it was really inconvenient. This also made Lu Zhiyao want to speed up and get rid of these obstructive minions as soon as possible.

In the dead of night, Lin Yinan had not returned to his room to rest. Lu Zhiyao walked slowly to the study, knocked on the door and walked in.

Closing the door with her backhand, she looked at the two people not far away, and asked softly, "Am I coming at the wrong time?" ”

"No, it won't." Lin Yinan smiled slightly and let her over, and after Lu Zhiyao approached, he continued to talk to Chu Ziqian about the topic just now.

Lu Zhiyao listened quietly, and sure enough, it was about the Criminal Department.

"You should have done your own private research, right?" Lu Zhiyao asked aloud, "Didn't find anything?" ”

Chu Ziqian shook his head, a mocking smile on his lips, and replied: "It's not certain whether it's aimed at our family, but it's true that there is no problem on the Gu family's side." ”

"The Gu family shouldn't have this strength, can you invite someone from the Torture Department to deal with you?" Lu Zhiyao frowned and looked at Lin Yinan, but he did not express his opinion on this.

"The Gu family's business was done by Li Muchen, you can take him to investigate together. You have to guarantee Xia Han's safety, and if you don't have enough manpower, you can tell me. ”

Xia Han's name that came out of Lin Yinan's mouth made Lu Zhiyao take a breath. After Chu Ziqian and Lin Yinan talked about the matter and left, Lu Zhiyao bowed his head for a long time and didn't say anything, which made Lin Yinan quite concerned.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yinan stood up and walked in front of Lu Zhiyao, looked down at her and asked.

"It's fine." Lu Zhiyao smiled and said, "Leave the affairs of the Chu family to me." ”

"Are you interested?"

"Okay." Lu Zhiyao replied perfunctorily, she wanted to ask Lin Yinan about Xia Han, but she didn't want him to do it a long time ago. Facing him who took care of everything, she couldn't say words of thanks. "You sent Chu Ziqian to Xiaohan?"

Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao fixedly, and the room fell silent for a moment. As if he wanted to see through Lu Zhiyao's thoughts, Lin Yinan always stared at her eyes.

"It's better to repay me with your body, and we'll talk about the rest later." Lin Yinan stretched out his long arm and pulled Lu Zhiyao into his arms, extinguished the candle and hugged her out of the study.

Lu Zhiyao pushed his body uncomfortably, and looked back at the vicinity of the study. "You arranged for someone there?"

"Can you detect it?" Lu Zhiyao's keen sense made Lin Yinan look at him again, there was indeed someone guarding outside the study, but if it was Lu Zhiyao before, he would definitely not feel it.

"Hmm...... It's just a feeling. Lu Zhiyao replied vaguely, and was dragged back to the room by Lin Yinan, and only came to his senses when his clothes were stripped of his brain.

didn't sleep well all night, Lu Zhiyao got up from the bed in the early morning of the next morning, and while Lin Yinan had already gotten up and left, he hurriedly put on his clothes, straightened the bed and went out.

"Ma'am, you're awake." Wanyue, who was working in the yard, turned her head to look at Lu Zhiyao and said with a smile: "The master just came out of the court for a while, saying that he didn't let me call you for breakfast, but I didn't expect you to get up by yourself." ”

Lu Zhiyao's face flushed slightly, and he asked, "Is he out of the house?" ”

"Well, it looks like I've entered the palace." Wanyue nodded, then put down the work in her hand and said to Lu Zhiyao: "Madam, I tried to make the two dishes we went to eat yesterday, will you try them later?" ”

"Well, let's do it."

Lu Zhiyao's cooking skills are not good, but the two maids under her are really good. Although Lu Zhiyao also followed them to the kitchen twice, it was still the same as before, and the things they made couldn't be imported at all. So after Lin Yinan ate the meal she carefully prepared that time, and then had a stomach poop for two days, Lu Zhiyao completely gave up the idea of going into the kitchen by himself. But her mouth is also raised by the maid more and more tricky, now the restaurant in the capital has almost been eaten by her, recently I think there is a good meal to go to go twice, and then I learned that the road was opened by Chu Ziqian's family, and before looking for Chu Ziqian to return the silver for her dinner, I bumped into the government to investigate.

After eating the dishes made by Xuanyue, Lu Zhiyao said thoughtfully: "It seems that there is still a little bit of taste." ”

"I think so too." Wanyue also said with a look of agreement: "Why don't you ...... Madame, will you take me to eat again another day? ”

"You girl." Lu Zhiyao looked at Wanyue with a smile and asked, "Is it really impossible to do it, or are you hungry for the things in that restaurant?" ”
