"It's the same root, so why be in a hurry. It seems that being born as a child of everyone, although rich and glorious, but there are also unspeakable troubles, and dealing with these all day long is afraid to break my mind. Jiang Xinyue pursed her lips and sighed.

"That's it, I used to be in the orphanage, I couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes, and naturally I didn't have to fight, at that time, I thought about how comfortable and happy those rich children should live, and now I have become a person in this circle, but I don't want wealth and status to become a confinement, let's just say that today's matter of the prince of the Wei State Mansion, if I used to fight, I would have to fight with him on the spot, but there are often fights among the small people in the market, and it is absolutely impossible for the county to take the initiative to fight." Ruan Mianmian recalled the dilapidated houses and tiles of the orphanage in the past, and felt a little uncomfortable.

The rest of the road was silent, and soon the carriage passed through the bustling street and stopped at the back door of Yipinxiang, and stopped safely at the back door of Yipinxiang. Because Ruan Mianmian had already exposed his identity in Dali Temple, he didn't hide it now, so he got out of the carriage directly with Jiang Xinyue, and walked into the courtyard of Yipinxiang with the maid behind.

It stands to reason that at noon, a chef's competition has just been held, and at this moment it should be crowded with people and business is booming, who knows that the backyard has not set up a table as usual, it is empty, only the front hall and the second floor are still open as usual, and the maids who come and go in the kitchen are only passing dishes to the front. Such a good opportunity to make money, Mu Ruqing didn't seize it as a businessman? No.

Both of them guessed that something must have happened during the time they left, so that Mu Ruqing didn't care about business, and immediately pulled a maid who served the food and asked, Mu Ruqing is now discussing things with the King of England in the flower hall of the county lord's mansion, and Liu Xin'er is also there. Ruan Mianmian went to change his clothes again, and the two of them hurriedly went through the corner gate, only bringing Fufeng and Zhuan, and the rest stayed in Yipinxiang to help take care of the business.

The small flower hall is not far away, and it is open on all sides, not afraid of the wall and ears, it is a good place to talk about things, Ruan Mianmian and Jiang Xinyue just arrived at the door of the flower hall, they saw Mu Ruqing and Lu Guiping retreating, and they were sitting on their chairs, the expression on their faces was more ugly than eating flies, Liu Xin'er was also irritable, and her temper could not be provoked.

"What's the matter? The face is so bad, what happened? Jiang Xinyue walked behind Mu Ruqing, patted him lightly on the shoulder, stretched out her hands and rubbed Mu Ruqing's temples to relieve his depression. Ruan Mianmian also walked to the chair next to him and sat down, quietly waiting for them to speak.

"Just now my people came to report that Li Binghai burned himself to death in the house on the outskirts of the city we sent him last night, and the whole house was burned, and some people nearby saw the fire and reported to the water dragon team, but the fire was too big, and when he arrived, it had been burned to ashes, and Li Binghai was already burned beyond recognition." Lu Gui's voice was dull.

"What, Li Binghai self-immolated? He was obviously forgiven by us, he didn't pay any price, and gave him what he had to live for, why did he still seek his own death? Ruan Mianmian was extremely shocked, both eyes widened, and her eyelashes flickered with doubt.

"I don't know, but what we're dealing with now is the follow-up to this matter." Mu Ruqing turned his neck, seemingly very tired of coping.

"This is also simple, after all, we have also informed the people of Li Binghai's affairs in advance, it stands to reason that what he does has nothing to do with us, and we are not obliged to deal with the aftermath for him, it's a big deal to issue another notice and explain the matter clearly." Jiang Xinyue's hand was slightly forced, which finally soothed Mu Ruqing's frowning brow a little.

"It would be nice if it was really that simple, it's just that Li Binghai's heart is not dead, and our kindness has become a tiger returning to the mountain, and now there is definite news, the only corpse in the fire is definitely not Li Binghai, the real Li Binghai has left the house, and the identity of the deceased is impossible to find." Liu Xin'er clenched her fists and was indignant, "Now it seems that this innocent deceased person is also very likely to be a victim that Li Binghai used to confuse the public and make us think that he was dead." ”

"What? The deceased was not Li Binghai? Ruan Mianmian couldn't even hold the teacup steadily, a trace of hot tea dripped on the back of her hand, she felt hot, and hurriedly put the quilt on the small case, "Can you be sure that the news is true?" ”

"Sure. Speaking of which, we know that this detail is also thanks to one person. Because the fire is a big deal, the Beijing government also sent people to the scene to investigate carefully, I don't know if you still remember which case of poisoning vegetables last year Zhao Wu, it just so happened that he was one of the people who were sent today, after his inspection, an important detail was found, that is, the leg of the deceased. ”

"Although the shape of his legs can't be seen, according to Zhao Wu, the bones of his legs are intact, and they are completely normal people's legs, but if you think about it, Li Binghai's biggest feature is that the disability of his legs is already very obvious, and it is acquired, which is destined to have traces of his own leg bones, even if they are burned, they will not be visible at all, so the person at the scene is definitely not Li Binghai." Mu Ruqing said coldly.

"Yes, I am very impressed with Zhao Chengzuo, King Qi has not been able to buy him to give false testimony, I can see that this person is extremely upright, and what he said is naturally true. So Li Binghai faked his death and fled, he must have a plan, otherwise even if he wanted to leave, no one would stop him, why did he make such a big drama to make everyone think he was dead? And his psychology is different from others, from yesterday's incident, it can be seen that he is very stubborn and unreasonable, so if he succeeds in escaping, he will definitely do something unfavorable to us, which can explain why he is so troubled. Ruan Mianmian's expression also became serious, and he tried to figure out Li Binghai's heart little by little.

"I have sent people to protect around Yipinxiang, as soon as I find Li Binghai's traces, I will directly arrest him, and I will also let people go to various city gates to defend and step up investigations, especially pay attention to men with inconvenient legs and feet, but I still need Boss Mu to release the news first and look for Li Binghai in the city, so it is not difficult to find someone inside and outside." Lu Gui clapped his hands, and immediately a team of black-clothed guards appeared outside, "These people are all credible brothers, and now they are all at the disposal of Boss Mu, so I will leave first, and immediately enter the palace to let the emperor also help to arrest him, he will be interested in catching King Qi's subordinates." ”

"It's also my negligence to let go of such a person, I should have learned the iron-fisted rule of those powerful ministers a long time ago, and there would be no constant troubles now." Mu Ruqing looked a little remorseful, but his words were still calm.

"Brother Mu, I can't blame you, who knew that Li Binghai was so cunning and didn't know what to do, we are not a powerful minister, just a restaurant, this kind of thing in the future, we won't provoke it, and making money plainly won't save a lot of things." Liu Xin'er, who has always been fiery, said such decadent and negative words, which shows how disappointed and hurt Li Binghai's actions are to Yipinxiang's kindness.

"Brother Mu, it's useless to think about anything else now, just take one step at a time, and talk about other things later, you have a good rest, I will also go to eat and broadcast to take care of it before, there will be no problem." Ruan Mianmian solemnly promised, but he was also really worried about Mu Ruqing's situation, running a popular restaurant is no longer something that ordinary people can take care of, not to mention that he is negotiating with this big family and the two county lords, and he is indeed very tired.

"I'm fine, Xin'er is right, we originally opened a restaurant, even if things are more complicated now, don't forget the fundamentals, honestly do a good job of the restaurant is more important than anything else, okay, go to the rest that should be rested, be busy, Yue'er will go back to the room with me to tell me about the situation of Dali Temple." Mu Ruqing got up and took Jiang Xinyue's hand and went to the main hall, Liu Xin'er and Ruan Mianmian also got up and walked out of the flower hall to the courtyard of Yipinxiang, they didn't care about lunch, they still had to do eating and broadcasting and collecting accounts.

Ruan Mianmian went to the kitchen to let Qin Feng and Long Dafu hurry up and make a few hard dishes, and arranged for the little maid to set a table in the hall, and after going back to the room to apply a little fat powder, he came out and started eating. She is also a thoughtful person, and she puffs on some more powder and doesn't use rouge, so she looks beautiful but a little weak and pale, and it doesn't make people doubt her condition.

While eating the fresh fish soup made by Qin Feng, Ruan Mianmian secretly grabbed two bean bags in his hand and handed them over to Liu Xin'er, who was collecting money behind him, under the cover of the table, and the two of them smiled, both of them had an indescribable sense of relief, although things were complicated, but finally these people were still together, and they could care for each other, which was the best result.

After a busy day, Ruan Mianmian went back to her own room in the Jingshu County Lord's Mansion early to rest, and she didn't even eat dinner with Jiang Xinyue and them, but she also ate a lot of things when she ate and broadcast in the afternoon, and she didn't think she would be hungry, and everyone didn't ask, they just thought she was very tired.

Although she is Ruan Mianmian's big palace maid, but Ruan Mianmian has developed the habit of doing everything herself, she can only help her beat her back before she goes to bed, and she personally went to bring the washing water and foot washing water, and helped Ruan Mianmian change her pajamas and retreated to the warm pavilion outside the bedroom and waited for instructions, she knew that Ruan Mianmian was in a bad mood, and she was afraid that she would have to get up at night or drink tea, so she simply moved the futon and slept on the small bed in the warm pavilion, If there is anything, we can take care of it in time.

In the middle of the moon, everything in the county lord's mansion was quiet, except for rows of lanterns illuminating the empty road. Suddenly, a scream broke the peace, the lights in Jiang Xinyue's room in the main courtyard immediately turned on, and the servants hurriedly got up and came out to take a look, this sound seemed to come from Ruan Mianmian's room.
