Chapter Seventy-Five: The Truth About the Murder

But my heart was beating a little fast.

A man who has grown up in a pile of men for more than 20 years, even if he has become a little accustomed to getting along with women recently, he is still a little ...... when he sees such a sultry scene

Abnormal.

That's right, it's an anomaly.

That feeling made him feel very depressed, and he felt ...... I'm sorry Your Majesty......

I'm very sorry Your Majesty......

His Majesty entrusted him with such an important mother, and let him be a close escort day and night, but he saw such a scene...... Han Yan felt so tired and tired again, he was more willing to be bullied by his mother 10,000 times than when he saw this kind of scene.

Luo Xiaoran's emotions were still quiet in the depressed dream, and he got up from the bed lazily, and didn't bother to take a closer look at Han Yan's abnormality, "Hey, what are you going?" How's it going to the village? ”

Han Yan replied before turning around, but he didn't move a step closer to her.

Luo Xiaoran frowned.

After Han Yan noticed it, he moved two steps.

Luo Xiaoran's patience was broken in an instant, and he rolled his eyes fiercely.

Her good temper was also exhausted between Han Yan's procrastination just now, and she grabbed Han Yan and covered her face: "It's so far away, do you want to talk to me with a roar?" Are we discussing how much is a pound of vegetables in the vegetable market? ”

Han Yan's expression froze, and he stepped forward quickly, but his ears were suspiciously flushed.

After scolding, Luo Xiaoran instantly felt refreshed, especially after seeing Han Yan's reaction, the suppressed emotions in the dream actually disappeared.

Raised his eyebrows slightly, "Say it." ”

The voice is also a lot clearer.

Only then did Han Yan return to his senses and get out of the abyss of guilt, "Tong Yu said that the place where Lord Xiao Tong committed the crime was not far from the post station, which was close to the official road, and he was killed on the way to the official road. As for Shen Chang's statement that he was beaten to death, not many people are sure that the time of the crime was at night, and the villagers heard the noise and rushed over to find out that someone had died. ”

"Is that a robber who caught Lu Kui's token on his body on the spot?" Luo Xiaoran's delicate eyebrows were raised.

"Yes, I also went to find the villagers who were present at the time, and the villagers said that it was very chaotic at that time, and most of the people of Lord Xiao Tong were killed and injured, and a group of villagers arrived and accidentally caught a person in a hurry, that is, the robber with a token."

"Most of the dead and wounded...... she paused, as if some thoughts flashed in her mind, and the thoughts flashed too fast, so fast that she couldn't catch a single star, "Then why did Shen Chang swear that Tong Yuyan was beaten to death?" ”

"This ......" When he said this, Han Yan looked a little speechless, and even a little depressed: "Shen Chang said that the robber who was caught was one of the thugs of the local county official. ”

Luo Xiaoran bowed, "Just because of this?" ”

Han Yan nodded, "He also said that he didn't believe that man would give up his job as a thug with a lot of money and go to do something loss-making." ”

"Okay...... "Okay," she rubbed her head, "The county official's hiring of thugs can be regarded as a clue to cut into Xiangzhou officialdom." Did you hear anything else? For example, what is the origin of the airborne governor of Xiangzhou more than ten years ago? ”

"This should be the most valuable information I have ever inquired about today." Han Yan said: "The governor of Xiangzhou, who has been in power for more than ten years, does have a great background, and he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. ”

Relatives of the Imperial Family?

Seeing Han Yan's troubled appearance, Luo Xiaoran instantly felt a little furious.

"Xiangzhou Governor Zhuang Xingqing, the younger brother of King Anshan's late biological mother."

King Ansan? Concubine? Brother?

Luo Xiaoran himself was inserted halfway, and his cognition of these people was completely blank, and when Han Yan said these characters to Luo Xiaoran in a seemingly powerful tone, if she guessed correctly, her face at this time should be in a state of confusion.

Who is this?

Luo Xiaoran's confusion was too obvious, so obvious that Han Yan couldn't ignore it.

However, Han Yan quickly understood, this lady has been in the palace for a short time, so naturally she doesn't know the palace concubine more than ten years ago, but he was still fighting in the border state more than ten years ago, and he is not very familiar with the harem concubine, so he can't explain anything at this time.

Facing Luo Xiaoran Chi. Bare. Asking nakedly, Han Yan was a little embarrassed.

can only explain stubbornly: "Although the concubine passed away for the New Year, King Anshan also stayed in the Nanshan Palace all the year round, but it can't change the fact that Zhuang Yu is a relative of the emperor. ”

Luo Xiaoran laughed twice.

Well, she thought she could pick up some great secret characters.

As a result, there is a prince and a deceased concubine who have gone away, but this Zhuang Yu may be much more powerful than the previous two at present, and can stand on the position of governor of Xiangzhou for more than ten years, and the miasma of Xiangzhou governance has not yet been rectified and managed.

On the other hand, the superficial work is really good, so that the country does not notice.

The old emperor was mediocre and indulged in beauty and didn't care about political affairs, so he allowed these moths to grow wildly.

Although Han Yan didn't hear any valuable information on this trip, it also confirmed Luo Xiaoran's conjecture.

Xiangzhou is not simple, and Tong Yuyan, who died in Xiangzhou, does not seem to be as simple as they know, being assassinated by Lu Kui.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help frowning, "Officials protect each other, plus the emperor's relatives infiltrate the officialdom to do evil...... Tut-tut, to say the least, you can pick up a pot of corrupt officials. ”

Han Yan silently read it in his heart: a pot of corrupt officials...... Can this corrupt official cook it, and return it to a pot......

However, Luo Xiaoran's joke was a joke, and the conversation was quickly resolved.

"When you go back, you write an excerpt and hand it to the emperor, this matter has nothing to do with us from now on." When he said this again, Luo Xiaoran's expression was rare and a little serious.

Han Yan nodded yes.

Luo Xiaoran's heart was like a mirror, and she understood that this matter was not something that she and Han Yan could investigate alone, and that Lu Kui and Tong Yuyan's guards must be strictly interrogated after returning to Beijing, so as to use this incident as a starting point, so as to strictly investigate the invisible side of Xiangzhou officialdom.

If they take the action investigation lightly, it is likely to be the second Tong Yuyan.

After Han Yan left, Luo Xiaoran lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

The first is that she slept enough just now, and the second is that she wants to seriously think about how to successfully pass the test tomorrow and abduct Han Yan to the border state.

Tomorrow's destination is to visit Master Chengkong in Lingjue Temple, but Lingjue Temple exists, but Master Chengkong is a non-existent figure she casually pinched.

After thinking about it and simulating countless countermeasures, Luo Xiaoran finally chose to make a decision.

But it's also the best policy.

That's—

"Oops, I remembered it wrong, Master Chengkong is a mage in the temple of Youzhou." Luo Xiaoran smiled innocently, clasped his hands together at the door, and apologized very sincerely.
