On April 13, the Shangyin Imperial City was a little more lively than usual, and Fran squeezed for a long time to return to the Regent's Palace.

As soon as he turned the corridor and passed the arch, Fran saw Shen Luo holding a booklet, walking in the courtyard on the side of the Chao'an Palace, and thought it was still the "Imperial City Essays", so he joked.

"The princess likes to read travelogues so much, why don't you let the prince accompany you to Jingzhou to have a look, I heard that Jingzhou has the most delicious and fun things!"

Shen Luo was still staring at the booklet in his hand and didn't raise his eyes: "What I'm looking at is not a travelogue, it's an account book in the house." ”

Fran sighed: "Isn't there a Mr. Ledger in the palace?" Why do you have to see for yourself? ”

After Fran finished speaking, she had already walked to Shen Luo, but seeing that she was still looking at the ledger very attentively, and did not even answer her words, Fran asked again.

"Princess, isn't there Mr. Meng in the mansion who is responsible for the things on the account? Why bother yourself? ”

Shen Luo folded a corner of the page he saw in the ledger, and then closed the ledger and raised his head: "You said Meng He?" Meng He is Su Zhi's person, and whenever I use a little silver, he will ask me where the silver is, which is really annoying. ”

Fran still didn't understand, so she put all the rouge gouache she bought on the stone table, and asked, "Then it's useless to look at the account book." ”

"I'm looking for omissions in the accounts, to see if there are any stealing chickens and dogs, dark Chen Cang, and so on."

Fran nodded inexplicably: "Then did you find it?" ”

"Hey......" Shen Luo sighed, "The bookkeeper that Su Zhi is looking for is really a bit capable, anyway, I have been rummaging for a long time, but I haven't found any problems at all." ”

"Isn't that nice......"

Hearing Fran's low muttering, Shen Luo reached out and gently tapped her forehead: "Meng He is so shrewd, it's hard for me to move some silver without being noticed!" ”

Hearing this, Fran suddenly realized: "No wonder last time in Xianglai Building, you said to let Gu Gongzi find a way to get a shop, I thought when you were interested in business......

Shen Luo waved his hand: "I can't make a lot of money, most of the silver in Shangyin Imperial City has gone to the pocket of the Shangguan clan, I can't compete with them, just make a little money to make a living." ”

Fran only felt that this was too much in her heart, thinking that with Su Zhi, she naturally had endless money, so she didn't take Shen Luo's words to heart, but just came to Shen Luo's side and lowered her voice.

"You asked me to inquire about Ma Linglong, I inquired."

Shen Luo glanced at Fran sideways, quite appreciative, and leaned his ear over again, and listened to Fran continue: "Ma Linglong has rarely gone out since she left the palace, and the last time she bumped into her on the street, she was going to Lifu." ”

Not as if he was not very surprised, Shen Luo only nodded in response, and did not speak.

"She went to visit Lifu that day, Li Anran didn't meet her, and then said something, Li Anran suddenly asked someone to welcome her in, as for what was said to make Li Anran change her mind, I didn't inquire......"

In the last sentence, Fran's voice was a little lower, Shen Luo didn't care, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, reached out and picked up the small box with rouge that Fran put on the table, but what he said had nothing to do with rouge.

"You say, isn't it strange that the old couple hasn't been looking for their daughter for so many years, and suddenly they came all the way to the imperial city, and they didn't hesitate to offend high-ranking officials to recognize their daughter?"

Fran thought for a moment and nodded hesitantly: "It's really strange, but ...... Maybe there is some unavoidable reason, such as what terminal illness you have? ”

After saying that, Fran felt a little vicious about saying this, and hurriedly 'bah' twice and said, "Oh, there must be some reason anyway!" ”

Shen Luo blinked twice: "There must be a reason, but I'm afraid it's not in that old couple." ”

Fran had already sat down at the stone table at this time, took out the rouge gouache one by one, and didn't care what Shen Luo said, just muttered to herself.

"Last time, Gu Gongzi said that you were like an immortal monarch in the sky, and now I also feel like it, if you are really a man, it would be good, I will definitely try my best to marry your ......"

Listening to Fran's boundless fantasies, Shen Luo just smiled gently, didn't answer Fran's words, lowered his head, and began to think about the things of this time.

The old couple from Yunzhou, Taichang Temple Qing Li Jiamao, Li Jiamao's adopted daughter Li Anran...... Also, Chen Peiyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department who was sick......

If this matter is related to Chen Peiyuan, now that the matter has been opened, his illness should be cured, but he is still bedridden......

Ma Linglong ran to see Li Anran in a dignified manner, and the relationship between the two was like water and fire, but they were able to talk in a room, which shows that this matter is more or less related to Ma Linglong.

Thinking of this, Shen Luo's mind suddenly flashed the name of Ma Lian, the leader of the Protector Army.

Ma Lian ...... He actually knew the details of the murder of Deputy Envoy Xiwan, and now this case... Su Zhi......

Su Zhi!?

A flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, Shen Luo suddenly understood something, glanced at Fran who was still fiddling with the rouge box, and hurriedly said while turning around: "You go to the pawnshop to find Gu Linyan immediately, let him keep an eye on the house of Chen Peiyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and don't let me out a fly!" ”

Fran was startled by Shen Luo's sudden increase in volume, and the rouge box in her hand almost knocked over to the ground, only for a moment, she immediately reacted, stood up 'Teng', looked at Shen Luo's back that had run away, and only had time to shout: "Princess!" Be careful! ”

Soon, Shen Luo's figure disappeared into the arch.

Yue Xiu followed Su Zhi out of the house to the Fulai Inn to pick up people, there was no one available in the house, Shen Luo himself didn't have time to change his body, and the carriage was too slow, and her heart was horizontal, so she could only lead a strong horse from the stable and ride over.

has been gentle and obedient for so long, but today she has to ride a horse on a long street, and then I am afraid that there will be discussions about her in the imperial city again.

Caring about this, Shen Luo turned over and got on the horse, clamped his legs, and the horse's hooves raised a cloud of dust and sand, and disappeared, leaving only the little man behind him standing in the wind and dust dumbfounded.

The princess regent is so heroic?

Galloping all the way through Chang'an Avenue and Suzaku Street, Shen Luo finally rode her horse and turned into Yuan'an Street, but as soon as she rushed into Yuan'an Street, she found that there were many more people on the street than before.

The feeling of uneasiness in his heart gradually intensified, and he landed on the side of the road and tied his horse, dodging left and right through the layers of crowds, and finally approached the Fulai Inn.

The inn was surrounded by spectators on the inside and outside of the inn, and some people were already talking in whispers.

"This regent is so careless of human life, it's really vicious, I only pity the old couple......"

"Isn't the Lord Regent always ruthless? Even the emperor is afraid of him, what are these two lives, I'm afraid that this time it will be in vain......"

……

Shen Luo's heart sank, and for a while, she only felt that her heart seemed to be weighed by a thousand catties, which made her breathless.

Is it a step too late after all?
