"My lord, there are too many files in this file, why does the government not visit them in different categories, but all of them are thrown in one place?"

Ran Qiunian was a little broken, it was almost an hour or two, right? She had only half-seen the shelves in this row, and when she looked at it from this side, there were at least a dozen shelves of the same size, all piled up with files.

"You don't need to read as much as you can see in one day. This case file room is here, I can't run left and right, and if I spend a little more time, I can always see it. ”

Xiao Yin's voice resounded unconcealed in the room, which made Ran Qiunian, who was originally just complaining quietly, stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Xiao Yin strangely.

"Big ......" Ran Qiunian just opened her mouth, but was blocked by Xiao Yin's eyes, she looked at Xiao Yin's eyes thoughtfully, as if she understood something, turned around and continued to rummage through the previous file shelf.

The careful and prudent attitude was the same as before, but only those who stood by her side and paid attention at all times could find that Ran Qiunian seemed to be carefully rummaging and checking this time, but it was not like before, for fear of missing any volume.

Xiao Yin saw that Ran Qiunian understood what he meant, and began to pretend to look through it carefully, with a little warmth on his face, lowered his eyes, and glanced at the official who was hiding at the door and secretly looking in without a trace, and continued to check as usual.

After another hour like this, there was still nothing, but Ran Qiunian complained a few words, put down the file in his hand, and left the file room behind Xiao Yin.

"Lord Xiao, can you find out something? Is this leaving? ”

The case in Lord Liu's yamen was almost tried, and when he heard the news that Xiao Yin was leaving, he immediately rushed back, tentatively looked at the looks of the two, and asked.

"There are too many files in the case room, even if you look for them all day, you may not be able to find what you can use, so you can only look at them tomorrow."

Xiao Yin sighed.

"How could I have thought that there would be a time when the file of this iron order could be used otherwise, if I had known that this was the case, I would have sent someone to keep it. Since this is the case, then the lower officials will not stay longer, and they will send someone here tomorrow to wait for the driver. ”

Lord Liu rolled his eyes and said like this.

After sending Xiao Yin away, Lord Liu summoned the official he sent to investigate Xiao Yin's movements in the case file room, and asked in a deep voice, "Did those two find anything?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, don't worry, you really haven't found anything. The little one saw the little entourage's gray face, but our room full of piles of files was something that our own people couldn't find for a while, let alone the two outsiders. ”

"That's fine, you take a few people with you, go to the house and continue to search, bring more people, you must find them for me tonight."

Lord Liu breathed a sigh of relief and ordered to come down.

The official made a difficulty: "Is the adult too careful, just with those two people, it is impossible to find any clues in just a few days, and when Lord Xiao arrives in January, he will go to the capital, who can still remember the things in this case file room." ”

"Idiot, there are always three or five days left on the day Xiao Yin returns to Beijing, who knows when he will find something? No matter how many people you call to look for it, you have to bring it in tonight. ”

After Lord Liu finished speaking, he remembered the news that the envoy from the capital told him earlier, so he didn't care about this place, and asked the master to go to the account room together.

Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin went back to Ran's house, and when they arrived in a safe place, they finally couldn't help but express the doubts in their hearts: "Big brother took me to that case file room to find the iron selling order that the Wu family's foundry received a year ago, why did he imply that I shouldn't look for it?" ”

"According to Nian'er, how long will it take for you and me to find the one that the Wu family foundry took over a year ago from the vast file room?"

Xiao Yin didn't answer the rhetorical question, Ran Qiu thought about it, and couldn't help but reply with some frustration: "If you are unlucky, you won't be able to finish half of it in ten days." ”

"So big brother, you didn't think about finding anything out of the file room in the first place?"

Ran Qiunian suddenly realized this problem and raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yin.

"Yes, we just need to make a gesture of finding, if the people who killed Wu Jiapo are just to prevent us from investigating, then there will definitely be action tonight. We just have to wait and see. ”

If you want to find a needle in a haystack from the case file room, you can find a one-year-old iron sales order, and the clues on it are more likely to be made with a fake identity, which is difficult to find and consumes even more time.

And Xiao Yin's return to Beijing is imminent, and the most unaffordable thing is time, so he naturally won't choose that strategy.

"I see, why didn't the eldest brother tell me earlier?"

Ran Qiunian suddenly realized, and couldn't help but complain, but she just said casually, she knew that with her own temperament, if she had known about this strategy, she would definitely show her feet, how could she make the people behind the scenes believe that they really wanted to find out the iron selling order?

"Tonight, it's inconvenient for you to follow, go back early and rest, and everything will be known tomorrow."

Xiao Yin touched Ran Qiunian's head, drove Ran Qiunian back to his yard, turned around and found out the night clothes hidden under the bed, and before he could change them, he heard Ran Qiunian's surprised voice in the courtyard:

"Little grandpa, why did you come here at such a late hour?"

Xiao Yin's subordinates made a move, stuffed the night clothes back under the bed as they were, took care of the messed bed tent casually, got up and pushed open the door with the same expression.

"Why is Sister Nian'er here?" Qi Ruoyun didn't expect that when he came to find Xiao Yin, he would be able to meet Ran Qiunian, seeing that Ran Qiunian was dressed as an entourage, he didn't know what he thought, and his expression changed slightly.

"I was a little bored in the house, so I asked my eldest brother to quietly take me out." Ran Qiunian coughed lightly, thinking of the excuse when Qi Ruoyun broke his men's clothes a few times before, so he took it and used it.

"I see, it's pretty much what I thought." Qi Ruoyun chuckled, and regarded it as believing Ran Qiunian's words, and he looked at Ran Qiunian with a gentle expression.

"I also know that Sister Nian'er is not a restrained character, it just so happens that tomorrow is the Beggar's Festival, there is a lively look on the street, I was planning to discuss with Brother Xiao and take you to the street to see, but I didn't expect to meet here."

"Really? That's great. Although Ran Qiunian didn't really want to go out with Qi Ruoyun, she had just put her words down, so in order not to make Qi Ruoyun suspicious, she had to make a look of expectation, "Then thank you little grandfather." ”

"Little grandfather, I don't know what is the so-called matter of visiting at this time?"

The door behind him opened, Xiao Yin walked out of it, and when he saw Ran Qiu Nianzheng and Qi Ruoyun talking happily, a strange feeling floated in his heart for some reason, a little unhappy, he suppressed this strange emotion, and looked at Qi Ruoyun as usual.

Qi Ruoyun returned the salute, put away the doting smile on his face, and looked sideways at Xiao Yin.

"Some things in the case, I want to discuss a thing or two with Brother Xiao."

Ran Qiunian saw that the two had something to talk about, and knew that it was inconvenient for him to stay here, so he said goodbye.

Because Qi Ruoyun was here, Ran Qiunian did not go back from the small gate as usual, but walked back to the main gate.

After returning to the courtyard, Ran Qiunian finally relaxed, and became curious, what did Qi Ruoyun do when he came to Ran's Mansion to find Xiao Yin at this time?

She knew that later, Xiao Yin still had plans on the side, didn't Qi Ruoyun's arrival just disrupt Xiao Yin's plan?

"Miss, what are you thinking? You've already prepared hot water, so let's take a shower and change clothes, right? ”

Qingxi's voice sounded from behind the curtain, waking Ran Qiunian from her thoughts, and she glanced at the dusty men's clothes on her body, which were all stained from the file room.

Ran Qiu Nian responded to the voice, changed into bedclothes and lay on the bed after bathing, thinking of Qi Ruoyun who had just met in Xiao Yin's courtyard, she couldn't help but sigh again.

"What made Miss unhappy?" Qingxi was rubbing Ran Qiunian's long wet hair a little by the side, and couldn't help but ask when she heard it.

"It's nothing, is the little grandfather gone?"

Ran Qiunian shook his head and asked again as if he remembered.

"The person hasn't left yet, and the eldest young master doesn't know what he's talking about. The slave maid has already made people pay attention, and as soon as the little grandfather left, he immediately came to report. ”

Qingxi finished wiping a strand of long hair, picked up another strand, and wiped it carefully, seeing that Ran Qiunian still looked sad, a little strange.

"Miss, you've asked several times, do you have something to talk to the eldest young master? Looking at the appearance of the little grandfather, it seems that there is going to be a long conversation, if you are in a hurry, I am afraid that you will have to wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it. ”

Ran Qiunian touched the white jade plate on his neck and didn't make a sound. Qingxi's words made her can't help but sigh a little, this little grandfather will not come sooner or later, but he will come at this time, it is really "not enough to succeed and more than to lose".

Thinking of this, Ran Qiunian's heart moved, and he couldn't help but start thinking about what had happened in the days since he returned from the capital.

"It's really strange, Qi Ruoyun is not such an imprudent person, why does he mess up his good plan every time he appears this time?"

In Lingzhou City, it was he who caught Zhang Shao and wanted to close the case; The convoy transporting the iron ore back to Splendid City was detained halfway, and he was also responsible for escorting it; Liu Yu flew under his command, and as soon as Liu Yunyao stole Ling Yu from her, the foundry's family was wiped out that night; And now it's like that again......

"Is this Qi Ruoyun a broom star, why is it that the clues of this case always have bad things when they come to him?"

Ran Qiunian muttered sullenly, but Qingxi asked out loud: "Miss, what did you say?" The slave did not hear clearly. ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just that I've been unlucky lately, and I'm just complaining casually."

If Qi Ruoyun is said to be deliberate, it is not like it, more importantly, Qi Ruoyun also took a responsibility for this case, if it is stirred up, he will not get any benefits for himself, right?

Could it be that he was blindfolded by lard in his previous life, so he thought that Qi Ruoyun was a handsome man with all kinds of literature and martial arts? Ran Qiunian shook his head, unable to figure it out.

Until her hair was all dried and she fell asleep on the bed in a daze, she didn't receive any news that Qi Ruoyun had left.

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
