"Miss, miss, do you know? Last night something big happened in the city, and the whole city spread the word! ”

As soon as Ran Qiunian opened his eyes and was washing, he heard a sound from outside, Qingxi walked closer, took the comb in the little girl's hand, and helped Ran Qiunian curl her hair, with a little blush on her face.

"What's so exciting? Could it be that the murderer of the Wujiapo murder case was caught? ”

Ran Qiu moved his neck, found a comfortable position to sit down, saw Qingxi's bright eyes from the mirror, and replied disapprovingly.

"Not really." When Qingxi heard this, he shuddered and shook his head again and again.

She was so frightened by this murder case yesterday that she made up her mind not to walk around the house in the next few days, so as not to accidentally bump into the murderer who was on the run.

"What's the big deal then? It can still be spread all over the city. ”

Ran Qiunian felt that Qingxi was probably untrue news that he heard from somewhere, so he made a fuss.

"It was last night that the Imperial Guard Mansion ran out of water."

was so frightened by Ran Qiunian, Qingxi's original high interest was not much, and he dryly shortened what he wanted to say to such a sentence and told Ran Qiunian.

"The Imperial Guard?"

Unexpectedly, Ran Qiunian, who didn't seem to be interested, heard this, and hurriedly turned around and grabbed Qingxi's hand, and he didn't care about this sudden move to break up the unfinished bun on his head.

"Yes, miss, you think it's incredible."

Seeing that Ran Qiunian was so interested, Qingxi immediately had the spirit, and without Ran Qiunian asking more, he finished all the next words by himself.

"You said that although the weather in autumn was dry, there was no wind last night, why did such a big fire burn? It didn't go out all night, and it burned cleanly, but fortunately it didn't affect the nearby house. ”

"The Imperial Guard Mansion has all burned down?" Ran Qiunian asked with a wink.

"Where can it be, the Imperial Guard Mansion hasn't burned a single spark for decades, and it must have burned all of it. But it's scary enough to burn down the house where the case files are hidden, that's the government! ”

Qingxi gestured, his face full of amazement. It seems that the burning of the official mansion is not only Qingxi alone, but also the people of the whole city feel new and strange, as if this is an impossible thing.

"It's scary."

After a long time, Ran Qiunian sighed lightly, turned around and sat back.

It didn't burn anywhere, but the file room where the iron selling order was hidden was burned completely, and this fire really burned by coincidence.

"Waste, a bunch of useless things, let you find an iron dealer, and actually burned the whole house for me, how did this fire burn?"

When Lord Liu saw the case file room that was burned to a pile of ruins, his legs were weak, and he collapsed on the ground, and after being helped up by the officials, he realized that he was full of anger.

"We didn't see it clearly last night, maybe we lit a candle at night and turned over the file, and we didn't pay attention to knocking down the candlestick, and the little ones quickly called someone to come and put out the fire after they found it on fire. The house was full of things that could not stand up to water, and we did not dare to water it at first, but when the fire got bigger, it was too late. ”

The officer's face was full of remorse, he saw that the fire could not be controlled last night and knew that he was going to suffer, and asked all the officials who rummaged through the case file room to sell iron orders, and none of them admitted that they had knocked down the candlestick, which was also hateful.

Lord Liu knew more than them, and he had long been suspicious, the houses of this official mansion were all made of special wood, and they would not easily catch fire, even if someone knocked down the candlestick, but at most they would burn some of the files in the house, and they would not even burn the shelves.

So at the beginning, someone came to report the news of the water, and he didn't take it seriously at all, but when he came back early in the morning to look at it, all that was burned was the pile of ruins in front of him.

If it was just an accident, who can believe it?

"My lord, according to the small view, this volume of the sect is burned, and the things in it are not important, no one has adjusted it for many years, isn't it just right to burn it? Don't worry about Lord Xiao finding anything from it that shouldn't be seen. ”

The official had the courage to come over and say a few words, but he was slapped by Lord Liu: "Idiot, if you burn the dossier room, you can do it once and for all, and Lord Ben still needs you to remind you?" ”

"The government was burned, and I couldn't hide the news at all, so it was inevitable to report it, and it was inevitable that the higher authorities would punish me for a crime of negligence, and if I sent someone to investigate in detail, I don't know what kind of turmoil will arise."

Liu Heqi gritted his teeth, if he wanted to know which grandson was behind him, he would not easily let go of the person who set the fire.

After Ran Qiunian dressed up, he hurried to see Xiao Yin and asked about last night's incident, Xiao Yin's face was also a little bad: "Did the eldest brother go to the case file room last night?" Did you see how the fire was lit? ”

"After the little grandfather left, I went to visit the detective file room, and the fire was already burning. I have not seen anyone who set fire to it. ”

Xiao Yin shook his head, there was something strange in this whole thing, but it was a pity that he was tripped by Qi Ruoyun last night and couldn't arrive early in the morning, otherwise he might know more.

"Why did the little grandfather come here at this time, what did he tell you?"

Ran Qiunian had already prepared, and he didn't have any superfluous thoughts when he heard the words, so he only asked curiously.

"Some things on the case," seeing that Xiao Yin didn't plan to say more, Ran Qiunian didn't ask any more, but listened to his voice and said, "By the way, tonight's beggar festival parade on the street, the little grandfather has already asked for grandmother's permission, and I will go out of the house with you later." ”

Only then did Ran Qiunian remember the incident where he responded to Qi Ruoyun last night in order to perfunctory, but he didn't expect Qi Ruoyun to be so resolute and move his grandmother and Xiao Yin.

"I know, seeing that the Lingnan iron mine case has been investigated here, the clues have been cut off, and in the remaining two days, don't worry too much about the eldest brother, just walk around and relax, and it should be a pastime."

After working hard for so long, he still got nothing, even Ran Qiunian was a little disheartened, and couldn't help but think that maybe it would be better to go with the time of his previous life and let this case go on like this.

Xiao Yin didn't say yes or bad, but Ran Qiunian felt that he was probably a little unwilling, poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yin and pushed it over, didn't say anything more, and got up to see how Ran Qiubai was recovering.

The moon is on the top, and it is night in a blink of an eye, because today is the begging festival, although the government was only hit by a fire the night before, but it did not weaken the festive meaning of the night lantern parade on the street.

After dinner, Ran Qiunian was going to go out of the house with Xiao Yin, Qi Ruoyun did not live in the Ran Mansion, so they made an appointment to meet on the lantern street.

"The weather has been getting cooler recently, and it's a little cold at night, so it's better to add more clothes when the young lady is out and about."

Qingxi didn't go out with him this time, and after putting on the veil for Ran Qiunian, he took a thin cloak from the shelf and tied it for her, and said with some anxiety.

"I know, I know, my good Qingxi, if you don't go to the night market, you're going to disperse, if you don't worry, just come along, grandmother, I'll just go back and say the last word."

Ran Qiunian amusedly stopped the little girl who was going to prepare a hand stove for herself, it was not winter yet, where could she use a hand stove.

"Miss, don't make fun of the slave maid, what day is it, you and the little grandfather go out to the streets, and it is enough to have the eldest young master watching, slave and maid, don't join in this fun."

Qingxi squeezed her eyebrows and smiled at Ran Qiunian, Ran Qiunian saw Qingxi smiling so strangely, and she was a little confused: "Isn't it just going out to visit the Lantern Festival?" Big brother and I are here, what are you going to do? ”

"Doesn't Miss know the customs of the Beggar's Festival?" Qingxi's face was full of disbelief, but before Ran Qiunian continued to ask, she sent the person out of the door first, "Miss just have fun, the old lady has acquiesced, you can take a look at it, and come back and talk to the slave maid about any interesting things." ”

"This girl, weird." Ran Qiunian shook his head, turned around and saw Xiao Yin waiting in the courtyard, with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and grabbed one of Xiao Yin's arms, and said happily, "Big brother has been waiting for a long time, let's get out of the house quickly." ”

"Nian'er seems to be in a good mood today." Xiao Yin followed Ran Qiunian's steps and walked out, looking at the smile on her face, she suddenly asked.

"It's naturally nice to be able to hang out with my big brother."

If it weren't for Qi Ruoyun, she would be even happier, Ran Qiunian said in her heart.

Speaking of which, she has never gone out to play on the Begging Festival, she used to be accompanied by no one, and her temperament was not very good, and her grandmother would never ask her to wander outside by herself.

Xiao Yin's true thoughts are unknown, but she can see that she is not the slightest false joy. He was a little puzzled, why did he feel a little uncomfortable when he saw Ran Qiunian so interested.

Xiao Yin's silence did not make Ran Qiunian feel strange, she had long been accustomed to his silence, and pulled people out of the mansion.

Because the place where the lanterns parade is located behind Ran's mansion, there are many interesting places along the way, Ran Qiu wanted to see more, so he simply pulled people to walk over.

"Big brother, don't you feel a little bored?" Ran Qiunian's eyes reluctantly withdrew from the juggling stall not far away, and found that the expression on Xiao Yin's face had not changed in the slightest since just now, and he didn't talk much, so he realized that something was wrong.

"No," Xiao Yin denied, the number of people on the street gradually increased, he was afraid that Ran Qiunian would be hit, so he took Ran Qiunian's hand and protected her by his side, "The little grandfather has probably arrived, let's go over quickly, don't delay any longer." ”

Ran Qiunian was still a little blushing for Xiao Yin's action of holding her hand, but when she heard him mention Qi Ruoyun, she lost any interest in an instant, she kicked the stone under her feet, and responded sullenly.

The two walked together like this, letting the surrounding crowds come and go, Ran Qiunian followed Xiao Yin unhurriedly to the lantern street, and his eyes no longer looked around, but quietly put them on the hands of the two of them.

"Sister Nian'er, Brother Xiao, you have finally arrived."

Qi Ruoyun's voice sounded in the crowd, and it also made Ran Qiunian's eyes look over, and he saw a gentle young man dressed in brocade walking down from the carriage.

I didn't think it was like anything in the past, but I saw you tonight, judging from the shy eyes of the crowd who were either overly or secretly focused on Qi Ruoyun, Ran Qiunian realized that she had indeed underestimated Qi Ruoyun's charm.

The name of the first prince of the capital is really not in vain, and after a while, Ran Qiunian has already seen several girls with veils secretly sending them to Qi Ruoyun Qiubo.
