Yuan Wenling's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he had a little regret, and looked away helplessly: "This has been investigated for more than ten days, but there has still been no progress." Please also ask Brother Zhongli to relax, this needs to be done slowly, and I will continue to send people to look for it in this Qiantang City. I believe that Princess Jiren has her own natural appearance and will be able to come back safe and sound. ”

"Since this is my husband's business, then it is my business. Cousin, you must take this matter to heart, treat it as your own business, and don't just pay lip service. Ji Wunian blinked his eyes, then stared at Yuan Wenling's calm face, and said bluntly.

Yuan Wenling looked at Ji Wunian angrily, hooked his lips and smiled gently: "Is your cousin and I such a person?" You are the thoughts of a villain. ”

"Then there is Brother Lao Yuan." Zhong Lihuan made a slight gesture in the direction of the main seat to show his gratitude.

After chatting for a while, the maidservants brought refreshments one after another, and most of them were placed on the table after a while, with a total of more than a dozen snacks and a few sweet soups. Ji Wunian took half of the sauce-hearted chestnut cake that Zhong Lihuan handed her, casually glanced at the maid who hurried out with a lacquer plate in hand, and sighed: "Don't say it, I'm really hungry." We spent the night in the middle of nowhere last night, and we came straight to you this morning after entering the city. ”

"Why didn't Nian'er say it earlier, I also ordered my subordinates to prepare more. It was my cousin who was negligent. Yuan Wenling then thought that the two of them arrived at his mansion early in the morning, and they must have arrived outside the city last night, just because the city gate was closed, they would stay overnight in the suburbs, which was enough to see Zhong Lihuan's eagerness for his sister's affairs.

"It's okay, Brother Yuan doesn't need to blame himself." Zhong Lihuan waved his hand, and picked out a piece of delicate two-color ruyi cake from the plate and gave it to the person next to him, "Wu Nian, try this." ”

Ji Wunian chewed the food in his mouth carefully, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips raised a curious smile: "Cousin, I heard that you were robbed on the street because of that Yanling Gun?" Yanling was still beaten badly? You're not hurt, are you? How did you become a city guard? The robbers are so rampant that they stomp on your head. After we entered the city, we heard a lot of gossip about this matter, and I just guessed that the disciple they were talking about was Yanling. It is estimated that this matter will soon be spread by traders into Gusu City, don't say it's a minister, I'm afraid even the imperial brother will laugh at you. ”

"Minor injuries. Now there is no incident, and the boxes of belongings have been returned. It's just a joke, and it's really not a glorious thing. However, it's not a big deal, it's just a joke, and after a while it will be fine. Yuan Wenling stared at the cup in his hand, bowed his head thoughtfully, and his words did not have a little wave.

Listening to these calm words, Ji Wunian almost choked on the food he had just swallowed, and coughed lightly twice before he eased the breath held in his throat. Her eyes widened, and she stared at the person sitting in disbelief: "What? Are there still such robbers in the world? So what are they bothering to do? Did you just want to despise the majesty of the imperial court? Make the people watch a joke? Can't get along with you? ”

Not only did Ji Wunian feel incredible, but Zhong Lihuan also showed a faint look of surprise: "This matter is indeed too strange. ”

"Definitely! In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to figure out this matter. But none of the robbers were stupid enough to be so stupid, I guessed right, they should just want to prevent the four princes from going to the Jiang family to ask for relatives. If there is no dowry, the courtship will have to be done! And it turns out to be true. I guess this group of people should be sent by the Jiang family, otherwise they wouldn't have made a special attack on the four princes. Yuan Wenling thought of this, so he ordered not to pursue it, this is just a special way for people to refuse to marry, it is understandable. After all, the dowry and the swan are necessary for courtship, and without those things, but if they do not conform to the rules and etiquette, this is not a courtship. If he and Yan Lingyu really came to the door yesterday, then the Jiang family would probably have to agree to this family affair for the sake of his face.

When Ji Wunian heard this, he had an idea, and an idea instantly came to his mind, and a thief's smile overflowed from his mouth, and he asked, "Can you tell Yanling about the return of the property?" ”

"No, and I wasn't going to tell him." I'm afraid that if I have property, I'm going to go out and make trouble again, since that's the case, wouldn't it be better not to talk about it. Yuan Wenling didn't want to hurt an innocent girl, he only hoped that Yan Lingling's injury would get better soon and leave his small temple as soon as possible.

Ji Wunian was even happier, shaking the pastry in his hand slightly, and his copper bell-like eyes slowly turned as the words floated out: "This is not enough, cousin, you should let him make a note, count the high interest, and make a profit." Take it out when he forgets it. By the way, blackmail him. ”

Zhong Lihuan turned his head to look at her, his eyebrows revealing a hint of puzzlement, and asked softly, "Wu Nian, why is this?" ”

"The rope is all braided by him, and I have to help him make a circle and tie a knot, right?" Ji Wunian smiled slyly, and obediently sent half of the pastry in his hand to Zhong Lihuan's lips.

Zhong Lihuan looked at the pastry between his slender jade fingers, and was stared at by the lord twice, the embarrassment on his face was overflowing, and he hurriedly raised his hand to pick it up, "I'll come by myself." Then he smiled awkwardly at Yuan Wenling, "Brother Ling Yuan smiled." ”

Yuan Wenling didn't care much, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, my temperament, I don't know yet, so she came to me, that's it." ”

"Cousin, you should feel honored that I don't treat you as an outsider. By the way, what is my idea? Do as I say, and you won't lose anything. Ji Wunian's eyes were full of anticipation, and he blinked a pair of bright copper bells and looked at Yuan Wenling.

Ji Wunian's words were put in Yuan Wenling's mind and wandered around for half a circle, and his sword eyebrows raised: "You want to, hum, you have a lot of ghost thoughts." This seems to be a bit unrighteous, but it is actually the work of a gentleman. How has he sinned against you? How did I not know? ”

"Nope. It's just that he doesn't like the eye, a womanizer. If you want to give him a stuffy loss, he will definitely be laughed at and generous by the world. Cousin, this actually has nothing to do with whether you are a gentleman or not. You just agree. Ji Wunian's tone was pleading, and he almost stepped forward to pull Yuan Wenling's wide sleeves.

Such a look really couldn't bear to refuse, Yuan Wenling hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you." But the signature on the note has to be yours, and this villain will let you do it. ”

"No problem." Ji Wunian smiled happily, and his mood was like half of the winter sun. At this moment, Yan Lingyu probably doesn't know that he has become the object of other people's amusement, and there is more than one person, and he has failed enough to live.

The two brothers and sisters wanted to conspire to trap the four princes, and Zhong Lihuan on the side didn't persuade much. With such an eccentric wife, sometimes he has nothing to do, thinking that on the wedding night of the two, he was not less troubled by her. He drank the last sip of tea in the lamp, looked up at the door, the sun was shining, and the hour should not be early.

The three of them fell into a brief silence, Zhong Lihuan raised his eyes to look at Yuan Wenling and asked, "I don't know where the sixth prince is now?" He couldn't say a word or two in the letter, there were many things that he hadn't figured out yet, he wanted to ask Yanlingzhan in person, how could he be sure that Zhong Liyuan's whereabouts were related to this place.

"I went out of town a few days ago. After searching the city for more than ten days without any eyebrows, he wanted to go to a nearby town outside the city to have a look. Yuan Wenling told the truth, and then added: "I should be back soon." You and Nian'er will stay in the house for the time being, and I have ordered someone to clean up the room. I slept in the wild last night, I must have not rested well, and I will rest and rest after lunch later, and leave the matter of finding the princess to me. ”

"Cousin, I also heard one thing, that attendant in Yanling seems to have committed a murder, I am curious about what my cousin will do, this seems to be a hot potato." Ji Wunian's eyes were full of curiosity, this attendant was not an ordinary person's attendant, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to determine the crime.

Yuan Wenling glanced at Ji Wunian lightly, and seemed to mutter: "You are really lenient in your affairs."

Ji Wunian pouted: "It's just curiosity." ”

"Fifteen years in prison." Yuan Wenling leisurely straightened his cuffs, and this sentence came out of his mouth lightly.

On the other side, a slave just handed over the convicted official document to Yanling Wang, which was the meaning of Yuan Wenling, of course, what was given to Yanling Yuan was just another copy of the order, and the one with the seal had already been included in the file.

Yan Ling, who was lying on the couch, roughly skimmed through the official documents, and immediately became uncalm, sat up all of a sudden, stared at the rough face of the slave in front of him with his eyes wide open, and couldn't hide his surprise: "What? Fifteen years? Is Yuan Wenling crazy? ”

With a somewhat awkward expression, the servant helped Yan Ling to take a look, his heart was a little weak, and he persuaded stubbornly: "Fourth prince, don't get excited. We adults never judge cases indiscriminately, and he must have a reason for doing so. ”

"What's the point, I think he's really crazy. My man, how dare he do that? Yan Ling's violent movements affected the injuries on his body, and he gasped in pain, propped his hands on his legs, and after a while he regained his senses, he threw the crumpled page in his hand at the slave's feet.

The servant didn't care to pick up the piece of paper, picked up the handkerchief on the table on the side, wiped the fine sweat oozing from his forehead for Yanling, and said timidly: "Fourth prince, you dissipate your breath first, your body is important, let's lie down quickly." ”

"What about the people of Yuanwenling? Go and tell him that I want to see him. Yan Lingyu lay back with the support of the slave, feeling indignant in his heart, but he knew that it was useless to just lose his temper at the slave.

The servant opened his mouth, hesitated slightly, and told the truth without fear of death: "Now that the verdict has been posted all over the city, and the people have known it, even if the adults come, I am afraid it will be useless." Moreover, my lord is afraid that he will not have time to see you now, and Princess Wunian and the colt are talking to your lord. ”

"Zhongli Huan is here? When was this? Yan Lingyu turned sideways with difficulty, pointed to the cushion behind the slave, and asked casually.
