Chapter 288: A Case Within a Case

Cai Lingxiao nodded, ran up, and just arrived at the door of the pastry shop, stretched his neck to look inside, and looked at it with wide eyes. I saw Ren Youlan and Meng Chenyuan across the counter, their heads bumping together and muttering, and there were only two of them in the dining hall. The guests who ate breakfast have not yet come. Hurriedly approached the door to listen, but couldn't hear anything clearly, and hurriedly went backwards and came back.

Yu Wensi, who was behind him, blocked his retreat and asked, "I saw that you leaned against the door and didn't go in, what did you find?" There are more pedestrians on the road, can we find a place to talk? ”

Cai Lingxiao whispered: "Of course there is a situation, Ren Youlan and Meng Chenyuan must have some secret things to hide from us, and after Youlan leaves, we will go in again." Han Dongjun stood at the entrance of the alley and stared at the door of the pastry shop, and we went to the back to guard. Where Ren Youlan went out from, you can see at a glance. ”

Han Dongjun said in a low voice: "I have been observing Meng Chenyuan for a long time, and he has nothing to do with the sword theft case, don't believe it, let's see." Ren Youlan, the female devil, who knows what medicine she sells in her gourd? It's not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

Yu Wensi said: "Yes, you stare at the door, don't let up at all, let's go to the back to guard, if you go out from the front, come and tell us immediately." ”

"Well, a lot of people are in, you guys go to the back door and guard her." Han Dongjun stared at the door without blinking his eyes and said.

At the time of the meal, Ren Youlan stepped out of the front door with a large bag of cakes. Walk down the street. Han Dongjun hurriedly followed her reluctantly. Cai Lingxiao and Yu Wensi, who were guarding the back door, waited impatiently, and reluctantly turned back to the entrance of the alley, disappeared Han Dongjun, and asked in a frightened voice: "Yu Wensi, even Han Dongjun is gone, what should I do?" Let's just go in and eat the pastries, we're hungry! ”

Yu Wensi lowered his voice and said, "Maybe he's hungry and goes in to eat, let's go too!" ”

As soon as Cai Lingxiao stepped into the pastry shop, Meng Chenyuan came over with a freshly baked and steaming mung bean cake. Yu Wensi stretched out his hand to take the mung bean cake and said, "Give Cai Shaoqing a plate of osmanthus cake, I'll eat mung bean cake." ”

Meng Chenyuan said happily: "Okay, it's all mung bean cake made in the morning, osmanthus cake, fresh and delicious, package."

You two are satisfied, and your mouth is fragrant. ”

Cai Lingxiao took the opportunity to say: "Well, that's good! Han Dongjun's taste is the same as mine, saying that he is coming to eat osmanthus cake, I don't know if he came? ”

Meng Chenyuan hurriedly said: "Not yet, I was the one who received me in the morning, I didn't see Han Dongjun come in to eat cakes, maybe I'll be there later!" ”

Yu Wensi snorted and said, "He is a person who likes to sleep lazy, let's eat first." ”

Cai Lingxiao raised his hand and said: "Okay, Meng Shangjia has prepared a big bag of osmanthus cake and mung bean cake for me.

I ate well and brought him to choose and eat, so that he didn't have to run around. ”

"Okay, no problem, let's go pack it." Meng Chenyuan went to the dining hall happily.

Yu Wensi said next to Cai Lingxiao: "I suspect that Han Dongjun followed Ren Youlan away, what do you think?" ”

Cai Lingxiao whispered, "Let's just take the cakes and go to Youlan Academy to find them." ”

Yu Wensi nodded and said, "Okay, I'm done eating, you're almost done, I'll pay the copper money, and then set off." ”

Cai Lingxiao waved his hand and said: "Pay copper money separately, you can't always let you break the bank." ”

Meng Chenyuan came over and said: "Neither of you has to pay, I'll pay." I've never invited you two to eat freshly baked pastries, but this morning I was lucky enough to have a treat, please smile. ”

Yu Wensi said loudly: "We can't let you pay for no reason, if we really need you to treat, there must be a reason, we can't eat the cakes that your family has worked so hard to make for no reason." ”

Meng Chenyuan whispered: "How can it be for no reason? There are always things that can be used by officials, but it's just not time yet. ”

Cai Lingxiao had an idea and said: "Unless you have something to ask us for help now, otherwise, you will have to accept the copper coin, and you will not owe each other." ”

Yu Wensi stared at Meng Chenyuan and said: "Take other people's hands short, eat other people's soft mouths, we will never take your cakes for nothing." Please take the copper coin and go to yourself, there are more and more guests. ”

Cai Lingxiao patted Meng Chenyuan's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "If you ask us for help this morning, hurry up, and later, we will leave, it will be difficult for you to find the two of us." This time is very busy, and you have to travel on a business trip to perform tasks, please speak quickly! ”

Meng Chenyuan asked, "Can you go upstairs to talk to me, there is a noble person waiting for you for a long time." ”

Cai Lingxiao hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" Waiting for whom? What's the matter? ”

Yu Wensi continued: "Let's go up and see it, don't we know." ”

Meng Chenyuan hurriedly said: "He said that he saw Cai Shaoqing, and he didn't want to see you Yu Thorn History, what should I do?" 228 Literature Network

Yu Wensi hurriedly said: "Then I won't go upstairs, wait here for Cai Shaoqing to come downstairs, this is always okay!" ”

Meng Chenyuan nodded and said, "Count you smart, Cai Shaoqing, please go upstairs with me." ”

Cai Lingxiao squeezed the corner of his eyes at Yu Wensi, and followed Meng Chenyuan upstairs.

Yu Wensi sat in the dining hall and waited, watching Cai Lingxiao walk towards the second floor, sweating in his heart. When they entered the door, they hurriedly chased after them, squatted down, and eavesdropped outside the door.

I vaguely heard the sound of muttering in the door, but I couldn't hear what was said. Squatting so that his feet were numb, he had to stand up and stretch his waist, and suddenly saw Ren Youlan stepping into the dining hall. Hurriedly squatted down and stretched his neck to look downstairs. Seeing Ren Youlan walking towards him, he hurriedly dodged into the wall. After the sound of footsteps disappeared outside the door, Yu Wensi hurriedly came out again and eavesdropped on the door.

I vaguely heard Ren Youlan say: "Uncle Cousin, you should help him in my face, there are so many swords in Datang, why are you staring at the Crow Nine Sword and the Green Dragon Sword?" Moreover, he is not the main culprit, but only a slave under the command of others, so he must go around and spare people! I'm begging you. ”

Cai Lingxiao said; "The emperor is staring at not only the Crow Nine Sword and the Green Dragon Sword, but also the Green Dragon Glaive and the Cold Moon Sword. I am the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, I can't cheat for personal gain, bend the law for bribes, take the court, I should do things for the court, implement the emperor's will, you don't interfere with my cousin's official duties, don't help me solve the case, and intercede, don't make trouble for me, this favor can't be sent, and I don't want to send it. My cousin thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be involved in this case. If you find out and deal with everything, you will never be soft-hearted, don't blame your cousin's six relatives for not recognizing it, don't sow discord in front of your father, and play with right and wrong, otherwise, your cousin doesn't have you as a niece. If nothing else, I'll take my leave. ”

"Wait, if you don't help me, you will bear the consequences."

"You don't even dare to take off your veil to see me, what are you talking about at your own risk, I'm afraid you won't succeed?"

"If the Emperor orders that these two swords and knives should not be searched, will you give up the case?"

"That depends on how powerful you are, if you can really make the emperor open his mouth and no longer look for the Tang sword, then it's another matter. But whether or not to investigate to the end is not up to me, and it is up to local officials to decide. I still have something to do, so I won't bother talking to you, so I'll do it myself! ”

Yu Wensi hurriedly bent down downstairs, and just sat down at the table, he saw Cai Lingxiao open the door and come out, but he didn't see Ren Youlan, Meng Chenyuan and the mysterious figure come out.

Cai Lingxiao asked with a puzzled face, "Have you been sitting here all the time?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Did you see Ren Youlan going upstairs?"

"No, because I'm drinking tea with my head down, I don't care about the flow of people coming and going. There were quite a few people eating pastries this morning, blocking my view. ”

"Oh, the person who was called a mysterious figure by Meng Chenyuan turned out to be Ren Youlan, I couldn't cry or laugh when I saw Ren Youlan, I was played by them as a monkey."

"Oh, I see, what's the catch?"

"I can't talk about the harvest, what is the next step, do you want to go to Qian Wanru?"

"It's okay to go for a trip, but Han Dongjun doesn't know where to go, why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Who says I didn't come back? I chased Ren Youlan out, and I didn't have time to tell you. I caught a glimpse of her carrying a bag of pastries and hurriedly walked forward, so I followed her, and saw her go to the house to put down the pastries, and then came out and turned back to Meng Chenyuan's pastry shop, and I chased back to this place, have you been in the store? I should have seen her! Han Dongjun, who was standing in front of Yu Wensi, said breathlessly.

Cai Lingxiao continued: "I met, she turned back to me to intercede, asking us to give up the investigation of the sword theft case and hastily close the case." ”

Han Dongjun asked nervously, "Then did you promise her?" ”

Cai Lingxiao smiled mysteriously and said, "How come? Even if you are a relative, you can't bend the law for personal gain! What's more, I'm not a parent official in Qionglong City, so I don't have the right to decide whether to close the case or pursue it to the end. Everything is up to the history of Yu Thorn. ”

Yu Wensi said domineeringly: "It's up to me to have the final say, all actions should be unconditionally obeyed by the emperor's will." Now the emperor demands that it be investigated to the end and act impartially, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Whether it is a relative of the emperor or a grandson of the emperor, he will not let it go. If we take the court's money, we should fulfill our duties and investigate the case conscientiously, until the Datang sword is recovered and the criminals are brought to justice. ”

Han Dongjun echoed: "Yu Thorn Shi is reasonable, the time is not early, you just said to go to Qian Wanru's house, hurry up!" ”

Yuwen Si waved his hand and said, "Okay, go straight to Qian Wanru's house." ”

The three of them strode towards Julongzhai, and when they approached Julongzhai, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of Julongzhai, and the chattering crowd was so crowded that they couldn't hear what they were saying? Yu Wensi hurriedly ran up and approached the crowd to listen.

A man stood at the gate and said, "My lord is not here, please tell me the same thing as the housekeeper, and when he returns, I will inform him immediately, and I will give you a satisfactory answer." ”

"What kind of reply, I want you Qian Shangjia to come out for an interview, you, Ling Haojie's housekeeper, can't be the master."

Ling Haojie raised her voice; "It has been more than 20 years since we opened Julongzhai, and there has never been a food poisoning incident. The night before yesterday was the Lantern Festival, there were more people at my Julongzhai dinner, everyone ate cakes and dishes, and the banquet was the same, why was only your lord poisoned? Don't you think it's weird? ”
