Before the door was closed, Qi Ruoyun walked in directly from outside the door, and when he saw Xiao Yin touching Ran Qiunian's head with a comforting look, he raised his eyebrows slightly, took a few steps closer, and asked softly:

"Nian'er, what's wrong, didn't that Zhang Shulin say something that made you unhappy?"

"The little grandfather is too worried, Zhang Shulin just told Nian'er about the whereabouts of Brother Qiubai, and I was worried for a while, so it will be like this."

Ran Qiunian explained two sentences lightly, and her mood was still a little low.

"I see, now that we have Brother Qiubai's whereabouts, we should send more people to bring him in, and I don't know how he is doing."

Qi Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile at Ran Qiunian.

"I just have a general direction, and I can't necessarily find anyone. I have sent someone to look for it all the way, thank you for your concern. ”

Ran Qiunian said.

Qi Ruoyun nodded and looked at Xiao Yin: "Brother Xiao, this matter has come to an end, and when I explain to the county order, I can transport that Zhang Shaoxian's criminal and the batch of iron ore seized in the southern suburbs to Beijing, and wait for the Dali Temple to fall." ”

As soon as the words fell, he looked at Ran Qiunian, who was silent, and said softly: "Since Nian'er is so worried about Brother Qiubai's safety, you can take her back to Splendid City as soon as possible, so that she can feel at ease." ”

"I'm afraid this matter can't be closed yet."

Clinker Xiao Yin did not follow the ladder handed by Qi Ruoyun to turn the case over like this, but directly told the speculations he had just told Ran Qiunian.

"According to Brother Xiao, there are deeper things that have not been dug up behind this, and you want to continue to investigate?"

Qi Ruoyun's eyes flickered, but he covered it up very well, and continued to Xiao Yin.

"It's what I thought before, I don't know what Brother Xiao is going to do?"

"Zhang Shaoxian's batch of iron ore is going to be transported to Splendid City, no matter who the buyer is, since he can't tell where this batch of ore came from, then this buyer who has not yet revealed his true face is the only clue."

Xiao Yin had just drawn out a head, and Qi Ruoyun understood what he meant.

"Are you trying to make a plan, pretend to be a caravan, and according to the original plan, transport this batch of iron ore to Splendid City, and lure the buyer to the surface?"

The smile on Qi Ruoyun's face was shallow, and he seemed to be happy that Xiao Yin was able to come up with such a good method.

"Exactly, I wonder if the little grandfather thinks this plan is feasible?"

"Nature is doable. It's just that we have misappropriated this batch of iron ore without authorization, and we still need to be enlightened, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating. ”

Qi Ruoyun's words were not wrong at all, Xiao Yin naturally had no reason to refuse.

"It's time to inherit Your Majesty, and also hand over Zhang Shaoxian's case together. If you want to continue to investigate, I'm afraid it may not be possible in a month. ”

Xiao Yin said in a deep voice, Qi Ruoyun also bowed his head lightly, and volunteered: "This matter will be left to me, I have the seal of the Guogong Mansion, and I can quickly whip from the post station, submit a secret report to Beijing, and go straight to Tianting." I will write down what happened here today, and send someone back to the capital as soon as possible. ”

"In this way, it will be a lot of trouble for the little grandfather."

Xiao Yin has no objection to this. Even Ran Qiunian couldn't help but secretly glance at Qi Ruoyun, it was rare for this person to be so attentive, it seemed that the emperor was indeed very concerned about this case.

"But if you want someone to bring that Zhang Shao out of death row, this matter should need this Zhang Shao to come forward first in order to convince the people behind the scenes, right?"

Qi Ruoyun asked with some hesitation, he thought of the things that Zhang Shaoxian had done to Ran Qiunian before, and knew that this person was thoughtful and ruthless, he was a ruthless person, and he couldn't fully believe him.

"There's no need for Zhang Shaoxian, it's enough to release Zhang Shulin."

This may also be the result of Zhang Shaoxian's negligence, he used Zhang Shulin's name to negotiate business with people and smuggle iron ore, and they also happened to take advantage of this loophole, so that Zhang Shulin really replaced his existence and took over the rest of the matters.

"That's a clever idea."

Listening to Xiao Yin's plan, Qi Ruoyun had to sigh.

After Zhang Shulin went back to the dungeon, he thought about it all night, and naturally had an answer in his heart, and early on the morning of the second day, before Xiao Yin and the others set off, he asked the jailer to send a message, saying that he wanted to make meritorious service for his crimes, hoping to keep his family from being involved.

"He's smart enough to know he can't continue to be stupid."

Ran Qiunian muttered, glanced at Qingxi, who was packing some bags not far away, and touched his chin, just to see how Zhang Shulin behaved this time, if he behaved too disappointingly, don't blame her for not giving him a chance.

"What did you say, Miss?"

Qingxi packed up the last bit of things, ordered everyone to get into the car, and turned her head to see her own young lady whispering something on the side, she took a few steps forward, listened attentively, and thought she was going to tell her what to do.

Ran Qiunian grabbed Qingxi's shoulders and led the people out.

"I didn't say anything, I just saw that our family Qingxi was so capable and caring, and I couldn't help but say that I was lucky."

The master and servant walked out of the inn with a smile.

The convoy set off, all the way in the direction where the Feng family's caravan left, and rushed to Splendid City.

They left a few days late, and there was such a delicate and expensive imperial relative as Qi Ruoyun in the car, although he looked like a good temper of Corporal Lixian, but everyone knew that he couldn't really be tired.

The speed of the carriage is naturally not as fast as that of those porters who run around all year round.

Fortunately, Ran Qiunian didn't expect to catch up with the Feng family's caravan halfway.

Along the way, he could find out the whereabouts of the Feng family's caravan, which was already a comfort to Ran Qiunian.

Who knew that the news that she was most unwilling to accept still came. The last time the news came from the people sent out by Xiao Yin to track down, it was that the caravan had returned to Splendid City, but there was no trace of Ran Qiubai in the convoy.

"Where can Brother Qiubai go?" Ran Qiunian's eyes were full of melancholy, and his subordinates unconsciously clenched their handkerchiefs.

"Don't worry, since Qiubai left by himself, he must have the means to protect himself. Qiubai and I have been practicing martial arts together since childhood, and his skills are enough to support him to return to Splendid City. ”

Xiao Yin calmed the uneasy Ran Qiunian, but did not tell Ran Qiunian another possibility. Maybe the people from the Feng family's caravan panicked, they didn't bring Ran Qiubai back at all, but left the people halfway.

But in any case, what he could be sure of was that there was indeed no trace of Ran Qiubai in the hands of those people.

"Zhang Shulin said, Brother Qiubai was drugged by Zhang Shao first that day, do you think there is anything wrong with that medicine, maybe it is not just an ordinary drug, will the eldest brother also be poisoned? If he's all right, why don't he send a message back? ”

"These are just speculations, if you are worried, I will take you back to Splendid City first, and personally ask those people from the Feng family's caravan."

Xiao Yin saw that Ran Qiunian didn't think about tea and dinner, and he was also a little worried about Ran Qiubai, so he said to her like this.

"However, your case ......" Ran Qiu stopped talking again.

"Don't worry, I'm here, Brother Qiubai's safety is the most important, just transport the iron ore all the way back to Splendid City, it's enough for me to be in charge." Nian'er just rest assured that she and Brother Xiao would go first. ”

Qi Ruoyun originally heard Ran Qiubai's news, and was worried about Ran Qiunian, so he came to comfort him, but when he happened to hear this, he directly opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Then thank you little grandfather."

Ran Qiunian saw that Qi Ruoyun and Xiao Yin both said this, so she didn't shirk any more, she was indeed extremely concerned about Ran Qiubai's safety.

After the three of them decided on these things, Xiao Yin took Ran Qiunian and quietly broke away from the caravan, and hurried to Splendid City with a shortcut.

Before leaving, Xiao Yin also left Zhang Shulin with the manpower to secretly protect him, just in case.

The trip, which was originally two days, was shortened to one day, and Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin rushed to the gate of Splendid City at dawn.

"Those guys from the Feng family's caravan are eating and drinking in the restaurant, and they haven't returned from a hangover, and now that they have passed, they can just block people there, do you want to go back and repair them first, or go directly."

Xiao Yin looked at Ran Qiunian's face with a curly face, and the high-intensity rush also made her faintly unbearable, and couldn't help but ask.

Ran Qiunian shook his head, and had no intention of resting at all: "Let's go meet those people first." ”

Xiao Yin couldn't resist Ran Qiunian's insistence, so he had to take someone to the restaurant first.

"Masters, wake up, it's dawn, you see? Shouldn't you also give up the money for your drinks and go back to rest early? ”

Xiao Er of the restaurant looked at the three men who had been drinking here all night and were now asleep, and shouted with some disgust.

"Do you think we can't afford it? It's just a tael of silver wine money, we have made a great contribution, and the young owner has made a lot of rewards, don't worry, I can't lose you. ”

After one of the men was woken up, his face was still a little hungover and unconscious, and he shouted impatiently at Xiao Er, and took out a tael of silver and threw it over.

The silver smashed on the little er, and he was in a hurry, and the impatience on his face was instantly replaced by courtesy, and he shouted with joy and a distinguished guest.

"Meritorious? What kind of merit has been made, the master is so generous, even the most inconspicuous young man can get a reward of several taels of silver? ”

Looking at the big man's magnanimity, it doesn't look like he only got a reward of one or two silver, but this is not a festival, and the Feng family has not had any happy events worth celebrating, Ran Qiu Nian can't figure out what kind of "happy" thing it is, so that this big man suddenly made a windfall.

As soon as she and Xiao Yin walked into the restaurant, they happened to bump into such a scene, and couldn't help but ask.

"Where did you come from, we have made a great contribution to the Feng family, in the future, the Feng family will be the largest family in Splendid City, such a big credit, what is a few taels of silver, then it is still less! If not, if the kid hadn't escaped, he would have gotten more. It's a pity. ”

The man who had thrown the money out suddenly stood up and cursed with his tongue out, but woke up another big man at his feet.

"Li Er, what nonsense are you talking about? Drink a few taels and lose your brains? Dare to say anything nonsense, don't you want your tongue anymore? ”
