In front of the side door of the Chu family, Chu Junlan looked at the tall man in front of him in surprise.

"Master Fu? Who is this? ”

The man had obviously just been freshened up, his gray hair was tied on the top of his head, his stubble was clean, his face was bloodless, his body was thin and skinny, he was wearing a brown robe, and he could see a tall skeleton.

Fu Zhiheng raised his eyebrows: "It's strange, you wasted so much effort to save him, but you didn't recognize him when you saw him?" ”

"Yuan Zhutou?" Chu Junlan was pleasantly surprised, "An Ge, you went to rescue Yuan Zhutou!" ”

"It turned out that the girl saved me. Yuan Kanghu thanked the girl for saving her life. Yuan Kanghu clenched his fists and knelt on one knee.

Chu Junlan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, "Yuan Zhutou, please get up." ”

"Now it's white, and it's no longer a headcatcher." Yuan Kanghu looked at the Chu family's house, and his eyes moved.

Chu Junlan noticed something, but he didn't say much, he only smiled and invited the two of them into the mansion, and came directly to the East Cross Courtyard.

Chu Huating and Baole had already heard the news, and they were busy saluting when they heard the sound.

The two sides politely sat down one after another, and Fu Zhiheng said: "Shuntianfu remanded Yuan Zhutou's case for retrial, then Liu Yanei did a lot of evil, Yuan Zhutou should have eliminated harm for the people, but in the end, he hurt people's lives, and he was degraded to a white body by taking away his official body." And Liu Yanei did a lot of evil, but because he had died, he gave up. ”

Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows: "Such a judgment is actually a bias. Uncle Yuan is now white, but Liu Yanei's family is the in-law of Concubine Shu, once Uncle Yuan leaves the prison, how can the Liu family retaliate with them? ”

"Exactly, so I used some connections to bring Uncle Yuan to you in advance." Fu Zhiheng is as good as a stream, and he also calls Yuan Kanghu Uncle Yuan.

Yuan Zhutou's face was sad and he sighed: "Now this is the best result for me, when I originally killed that guy, I didn't want to live." ”

Chu Junlan smiled: "Uncle Yuan is for the people, he shouldn't have died so early." You have also seen that my brother is blind, and the situation at home is actually very complicated, there is only one Baole by my brother's side, I am not very relieved, I want to ask Uncle Yuan to stay with my brother as a guard, although I know that this is overkill, but I still hope that Uncle Yuan can agree. ”

Why didn't Yuan Kanghu know that this was Chu Junlan deliberately helping him?

"Miss Chu and Fu Gongzi have spared no effort to save their lives. If I stay in your house, I will definitely bring the revenge of the Liu family to you, so won't it become a revenge in the future? ”

Yuan Kanghu saluted sincerely: "I can't hurt you like this, if Miss Chu has anything to ask, just ask, and I will definitely know everything below." ”

Chu Huating's blindfolded face involuntarily turned in Chu Junlan's direction.

Chu Junlan was also nervous, and squeezed Chu Huating's hand under the table.

"I can't hide it, the little woman does have something she wants to ask, but Uncle Yuan, I must also protect it. If Uncle Yuan repeatedly refuses, he will look down on me as a woman. ”

"Yes, Uncle Yuan." Fu Zhiheng also smiled, "People say that the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated, Miss Chu saved your life, and turned to ask you to protect her brother, if you don't agree, won't you live up to Miss Chu's good intentions?" ”

Yuan Kanghu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "So, thank you Miss Chu and Prince Chu for your kindness." ”

Chu Junlan and Chu Huating both laughed and told Baole and Zi Yan to prepare the meal. A table was set up in the East Cross Courtyard, and Fu Zhiheng was fortunate to eat the wine that Chu Junlan had prepared for him again, and he was satisfied with a wine jar and said goodbye.

When night fell, a silk lantern was lit in the house, and Zi Yan and Bao Le stood guard outside the door. Chu Junlan and Chu Huating asked about the case back then.

Yuan Kanghu said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the eldest young master and the third young lady were the children of that lady back then. ”

Chu Junlan said sincerely: "Our brothers and sisters have always felt that the death of our mother is very strange, I don't know if Yuan Zhutou still remembers the events of that year. ”

"Remember," Yuan Kanghu said bluntly, "Actually, when Fu Gongzi brought me to the front of the mansion, I guessed that my rescue might have something to do with what happened back then." The third lady is my savior, and I have nothing to hide. The case was indeed suspicious. ”

"Please also let Uncle Yuan know." Chu Huating's spirit was shocked and he bowed.

Yuan Kanghu waved his hand and said: "Presumably, the two of you already know the facts of the case that day, so I don't need to repeat it." I only want to say that there should be a witness to this case, after I investigated this case, I found that Mrs. Lu had an accident next to the garden rockery, and there should actually be an eyewitness. ”

What the?

Chu Junlan and Chu Huating were both very surprised. They were so young at the time that they were so busy grieving the loss of their mother that they couldn't care about anything else, and they couldn't tell how much was true or what was false when they learned from others many years later. In addition, the gardens of the year have been remodeled, and the servants have changed several times, so it is naturally even more impossible to know what old people are.

"Mrs. Lu used to serve in the palace, if I know it correctly, when Mrs. Lu left the palace, she actually brought a grandmother who served her with her. And when I investigated the case, this Mama Tao said that she had returned to her hometown to be raised, I thought at the time, the master just had an accident, she was accommodated, it was really very strange, so I arranged someone to investigate, who knew that many people were inquired, and they couldn't figure out where Mama Tao's hometown 'Taojia Village' was. The world is so big, but finding Mama Tao is like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Chu Junlan and Chu Huating's faces were very solemn, and they asked, "Then Uncle Yuan can find out the whereabouts of this Tao Mama later?" ”

"Not really." Yuan Kanghu shook his head and said solemnly, "What happened later made me feel that Mrs. Lu's case was even more strange. Just when I ordered someone to track down Mama Tao, my boss suddenly gave a direct order, ordering me to stop the investigation of this case and quickly close the case by accident. ”

"What!" Chu Huating clenched his fists, so his mother's accidental death back then actually came from this.

"It's ...... to have a sloppy case when there are suspicious points"

Chu Junlan took his brother's hand, "Big brother, Yuan Zhutou also obeys orders, since Shangfeng has given the order, what can he do?" ”

Chu Huating pursed his lips and nodded, "I know." ”

Chu Junlan looked at Yuan Kanghu: "May I ask Uncle Yuan, do you know why your peak suddenly ordered the case to be closed hastily?" ”

"I don't know."

"And who is your peak?"

"It was Yin Yi Yuhai of Shuntian Mansion at that time, and now Lord Yi is the secretary of the ministry." Yuan Kanghu was blunt.

Chu Junlan nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan." ”

It seems that if she wants to find out the whereabouts of the year, in addition to looking for a needle in a haystack, she also has to find a way to know the truth from Yi Shangshu. But Yi Shangshu is in a high position, where does she have the opportunity to get close?

After Chu Junlan returned to the room, he didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, I picked the morning dew and came back, and just went to the upper courtyard to ask the old lady for peace, and there was a maid to talk back.

"Old lady, the head of the eldest princess's mansion is here."

The old lady hurriedly said, "Please come in." ”
