It was evening, and the front yard of Sima's Mansion was brightly lit.

Sima Xiang sat upright above the table, and below sat Sima Jiaoyan with a smile on his face.

The two looked at each other, and Sima Jiaoyan suddenly spoke, "Dad, I have made a great contribution today!" ”

Sima Xiang's heart thumped twice, and he wondered, "What did you do?" ”

Sima Jiaoyan opened her mouth and laughed, "Dad, do you know the two new prisoners in the backyard? I went to interrogate me today, and I guess they will confess in front of His Highness in the evening! ”

"Bang" The teapot in Sima Xiang's hand fell to the ground suddenly.

The tea splashed everywhere, and there were many water stains on Sima Jiaoyan's red skirt, she stood up and was about to have a seizure, but found that Sima Xiang's two eyes were staring at her, full of anger and accusation.

"You ......." Sima Xiang stood up and walked up to her, his beard was so angry that he was about to raise it, and his two hands trembled and wanted to slap her twice, but he couldn't get down.

Sima Jiaoyan was frightened by her father's rare sternness, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Dad, what did I do wrong?" She asked cautiously.

Sima Xiang closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, shook his head, and sat down.

"Why are you unwilling to obey?" He looked at his daughter, who had a good face, calmed down for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness's prisoner is Your Highness's prisoner, how can it be our turn to interfere?" There are countless masters of Xuanyi Guard, can't you even ask for a confession? Why don't you think about it without thinking! ”

Sima Jiaoyan lowered her head and thought about it, and found that it was such a reason, but then she was a little unhappy, "Dad, you are making a big fuss, a prisoner is a prisoner, I just went to interrogate and interrogate, and I didn't do anything else." ”

"You still don't understand!" Sima Xiang was so angry that the corners of his forehead jumped, "That's His Highness's prisoner!" What's the matter with you? What do you have in mind when you go to interrogation privately? ”

"I don't have any intentions," Sima Jiaoyan stomped his feet aggrievedly, "I just want to help His Highness!" ”

"Help?" There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and Luo Ran, who was dressed in Xuanyi, walked in, looked at Situ Jiaoyan with a smile, dusted off the armor, and said, "Does Miss Situ think that my Xuanyi guards are all waste?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Sima Xiang was anxious, and hurriedly ran to Luo Ran's side, and said in a sincere panic, "Luo Commander Yan zhòng, the little girl is young and ignorant, please bear with me."

Luo Ran laughed, helped Sima Xiang up, and sat down with a golden knife.

"Miss Sima, what do you think, are you still young?" His eyes were blazing, and although his hard face was full of smiles, Sima Jiaoyan felt a little cold at this moment.

But she didn't want to show her fear, so she could only stalk her neck and say, "It's not small."

"Haha" Luo Ran laughed, applauded her answer, and praised, "Miss Sima is a little responsible. ”

Sima Xiang's face turned miserable, and he was about to speak, but Sima Jiaoyan answered, "Of course." ”

Luo Ran raised his lips, didn't speak, beckoned to the door, and a Xuanyi guard walked in, took out two pieces of paper from his arms, and handed them to him.

"Very good" he looked at the two sheets of paper full of words, and read slowly, "In the fifth year of Jia, in July, there were a large number of black dog injuries in the city, and they were reported to Sima Mansion, but it was unsuccessful, in August, eight prisoners in prison disappeared, and Sima Mansion reported that they died of fear of crime, and in September, the guards in the palace died of illness for no reason, and the body was found in Yanlin, northeast of the city, and the following year ........."

Luo Ran's voice was not loud, and the reading was subdued, but there was silence in the room.

Sima Jiaoyan's face was pale, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what to remember, but Sima Xiang collapsed directly to the ground, her face was dark and her body trembled.

"Tsk." Luo Ran stopped reading, flicked the white paper, and sighed, "I didn't expect so many things to happen in Taikang City, Lord Sima, isn't that what is written on your annual review fold?" Explain the explanation? ”

Sima Xiang slowly stood up, walked in front of Luo Ran, took off the official hat on his head, and said in a trembling voice, "Minister, dereliction of duty, guilty, please punish!" ”

Luo Ran turned around and shook his head, "I'll wait for His Highness to come back." ”

Sima Xiang was silent.

"Miss Sima, what's wrong with you, your face is so bad?" Luo Ran asked with concern.

"No... Nothing....what"

"Haha, don't hold back when you're sick, otherwise it will aggravate your condition, so let's do it, Xuan Yiwei has been bothering here for a long time, and in order to express his gratitude, he specially sent some gifts, please smile."

With that, he walked out the door. The white paper in his hand turned into shreds at some point, and the confetti was scattered and floating in the air.

Two soldiers walked in tremblingly, carrying two large black wooden boxes in their hands.

Sima Jiaoyan seemed to realize something, and reached out to open the wooden box.

"Ahh

A startling sound rang out in the courtyard.

……………

Taikang City, in an inn.

Zhao and Yao Xun were lying on the bed, their backs were cool. That's the effect of the ointment, I can't even feel the pain, and I heard the smiling tiger say that even the scar will disappear after a few days.

Guarding them was the Xuanyi guard who would grow thorns on the ground out of thin air, and when I looked closely, I knew that this person was quite handsome, Zhao was lying on the head of the bed, looked at him for a long time, and said leisurely, "You are better looking than your boss." ”

The man's face was slightly red, and he shook his head, but did not speak.

"Are you embarrassed or embarrassed?" Zhao asked with a grin.

"Hmph" There was a cold snort from the window, and Luo Ran pushed open the window and jumped down.

"I don't think you're in too much pain," the smiling tiger slapped her on the arm.

It is the injury, no matter how good the ointment is, it can't hide the pain.

"Shhhh

Luo Ran smiled, sat on the chair, and the Xuanyi guard, who could plant thorns, immediately handed over a cup of tea.

"Your Highness will return tomorrow, you must be measured when you meet, and if you are disrespectful, don't blame me for being polite."

Zhao Jiequ rolled his eyes silently, and when he raised his head, he was smiling, "That's, that's." ”

Luo Ran smiled and praised, "I think you are more sensible than Sima Jiaoyan." ”

"Sima Jiaoyan?" Zhao asked questions, and today's brain-dead girl appeared in his mind, "Is that her?" ”

"Hmm."

Speaking of this, Zhao was obviously energetic, straightened his neck and asked, "How did you deal with her today?" ”

"It's nothing, just kill her two dogs."

Yao Xun turned his head at this time, "She's so cheap?" ”

Luo Ran narrowed her eyes, "What do you want?" ”

Zhao District pulled Yao Xun and said, "No, we will avenge ourselves." ”

"Then who asked me to beat her up today?" Luo Ran plucked his ears and said for a long time, he suddenly felt that this black girl had a very high mind.

Zhao shook his head and did not speak.

"It's none of your business." Yao Xun lost his temper, "We'll do it ourselves!" ”

Luo Ran smiled, turned around and instructed the Xuanyi guard next to him to do something, and then left.
