After a hard morning, the farm work in the field was basically done, the weather was still hot, and I didn't feel a trace of coolness, Liu Ling began to beckon everyone to lunch.

Liu Ling simply fried a few side dishes, cleaned up the house, lifted the table out, and put it in the courtyard for everyone to eat around.

Li Xiaoran felt that this was very atmospheric, and after finishing the work, everyone would feel very comfortable eating together, and if it would be like this in the future, it would be very good.

"I hope that adults don't dislike it, after all, this place is not as big as listening to Yunxuan, but I have stumbled a little here, I hope you will forgive me." Liu Ling lowered his head and said.

"No, no, this meal is also very fragrant, I can't wait to eat it now." Li Xiaoran immediately responded, which was used to dispel Liu Ling's concerns.

Xuanyuan Qinghe also knew from the bottom of his heart that in fact, people like Liu Ling were very afraid of being officials, and if this kind of thing hadn't happened, they wouldn't have come to Yamen to report the case at all.

Xuanyuan Qinghe took a bowl of rice in his hand, put the vegetables in his mouth and chewed it, and said casually: "What do you think of the stability of Qinzhou, is there any corruption and perversion of the law that you have seen, if you know, you can tell me." ”

After Liu Ling heard it, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and his head was down as if he was thinking about something, Liu Ling felt that he had an urge to open his mouth but didn't dare to open his mouth at this time.

"Qinzhou is stable, the people are happy, this should be what you want to see, right?" Liu Ling said, showing a mocking smile.

Xuanyuan Qinghe felt embarrassed after hearing this, because what Liu Ling said was exactly the answer he wanted, but Liu Ling's tone was not so simple.

Xuanyuan Qinghe wanted to open his mouth to say something, but without waiting for Xuanyuan Qinghe to speak, Liu Ling couldn't help but say: "Actually, adults also know in their hearts that our life is not bad, and we can be regarded as happy with food and drink.

I don't know how to define the word "stability" if I want to say stability, but if it is like what I just said, it is stability.

But if it is said to be the land of Qinzhou, the rich son, the powerful daughter, if they commit a crime, they will not be punished, as adults, you should know better. ”

Liu Ling is a woman who has never drunk, but after drinking today, she confided so much to Xuanyuan Qinghe, and after saying so many words, those eyes have been staring at Xuanyuan Qinghe.

Liu Ling didn't know what the result would be if he said these things in front of the officials, if he was a former government official, he was afraid that he would be arrested and imprisoned after hearing this.

And although Liu Ling has not been in contact with Xuanyuan Qinghe for a long time, he inexplicably feels in his heart that Xuanyuan Qinghe is a good official, so he confides so much about him.

Xuanyuan Qinghe himself is the prince and will inherit the unification in the future, although he has long seen the ugly faces of those officials in the court, but when he really faces it, he is so powerless.

After listening to Liu Ling's words, Xuanyuan Qinghe felt that a knot in his heart was opened, and said recklessly: "I don't care what you think of me, since I asked you, then the person you are talking about, no matter who is involved, as long as they violate the laws of my Ming Kingdom and are within my jurisdiction, they will be severely punished!" ”

Liu Ling was also very shocked when he heard this, stared at Xuanyuan Qinghe, and thought in his heart: It seems that I really didn't see the wrong person, although this person is young, he will definitely be a pillar of the Ming Kingdom in the future, and he will definitely become a pillar of the Ming Kingdom.

Li Xiaoran was taken aback by Xuanyuan Qinghe's sudden domineering tone, and his opinion of Xuanyuan Qinghe gradually changed.

"Sister, thank you for your hospitality, I'm already motivated now, I'll go investigate the case now, thank you again!" Xuanyuan Qinghe suddenly said as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Liu Ling wanted to keep it, but blood couldn't pull Xuanyuan Qinghe, Li Xiaoran then thanked Liu Ling for his hospitality, and immediately rushed over to find Xuanyuan Qinghe.

"I think you're different today, I feel like you're listening to what Sister Liu said, and the whole person seems to be sublimated!" Li Xiaoran said to Xuanyuan Qinghe with a smile, and made a funny grimace.

"What's different about me, I'm still myself?" Xuanyuan Qinghe asked in confusion, because Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't think that he was any different, he was still the same teenager.

"You're really different, you're more handsome, you're more likeable!" After Li Xiaoran finished speaking without thinking, he realized that he had said an earthy love sentence.

Li Xiaoran instantly felt extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know how Xuanyuan Qinghe would feel after hearing it.

Xuanyuan Qinghe was directly stupid after hearing this, thinking to himself, how could this girl say that? But that's it, and now it's making my heart pound, and I can't stop it.

Next, the two of them had an extremely tacit understanding, neither spoke, and walked back to the yamen side by side to end this embarrassing situation.

When he was about to arrive at the yamen, he watched a person sneaking in front of the yamen, Li Xiaoran thought he was here to report the case, but found that the person had been wandering in front of the door and had not entered for a long time.

Xuanyuan Qinghe actually noticed it, so he walked over slowly, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and asked, "You should have something, right?" Why don't you come in with me? ”

The man was frightened by the sudden arrival of Brother Xuanyuan Qinghe, and when he looked back and saw that it was not an official office, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said: "Brother, you scared Lao Tzu, don't talk behind people in the future!" After finishing speaking, he glared at Xuanyuan Qinghe, revealing a dissatisfied look.

Xuanyuan Qinghe was not angry, but he still had some doubts, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Then why have you been staying here, why don't you go in with me, I am also a person in this yamen." ”

After hearing this, the man looked at Xuanyuan Qinghe carefully, and said mockingly: "It's better for young people not to pretend to be officials, let alone in front of the yamen." ”

Xuanyuan Qinghe felt quite speechless, why didn't anyone believe him when he said his identity? Always come up with one to prove yourself.

When you talk about your identity, others look at you like a fool, and then show off your might. But after presenting the proof, the attitude of those people immediately changed, and they became submissive and respectful.

Li Xiaoran felt that it seemed that there would be another good show of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger soon, and he was looking forward to it.

"My lord, did you come back from Liu Ling's house? Then come in quickly, what are you still doing standing here? Cui Qi just walked out to pour tea, and saw Xuanyuan Qinghe standing at the door who had not entered for a long time, so he said.

The man hurriedly looked back, but found that there was no one on the street, so he said in confusion, "Where are you?" How can I not see it? ”

That person himself omitted Xuanyuan Qinghe, and he didn't think that Xuanyuan Qinghe was a person in the yamen.

"What do you look at? Isn't the man next to you the prefect? That woman is a young lady! Cui Qi rolled his eyes and said to this person.

The man still felt incredulous, but because he knew Cui Qi, he knew that Cui Qi was a person from the yamen.

Since it was a person in the yamen, how could it be false, so he felt scared, because just now because he didn't believe it, the person in front of him was a person from Yangmen.

also said sarcastically, but now I know that it is not only the people in the official yamen, but also the new prefect.

In an instant, I thought that I was finished, and I instantly felt that the soles of my feet were weak and I couldn't use my strength, so I knelt down in front of everyone.

The man said with a crying voice: "Please forgive me for being clumsy, I didn't mean to contradict the adults, really not!" ”

Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't understand what to do kneeling, and he didn't say anything, so he immediately helped the person up and said, "I didn't want to say what to do with you, why are you so afraid?" By the way, I see that you have been here for a long time, do you have anything to say? ”

The man looked around nervously, and said cautiously: "My lord, I have a clue to the murder in the embroidery alley here, and I wanted to tell you in person." ”

Xuanyuan Qinghe felt his brain buzz when he heard it, and this person actually knew the clue, so he immediately brought the person back to the yamen and asked Cui Qi to call everyone else over.

"What you said is true, don't use this to trick us, otherwise, you will know how good we are!" Xuanyuan Qinghe said after bringing this person back to the yamen.

"The villain knows, the villain knows, what I said is true, and I will definitely not come to deceive you!" After hearing what Xuanyuan Qinghe said, the man said cautiously.

At this time, everyone also came, and Xuanyuan Qinghe did not ask the person, but gave Li Xiaoran a look and asked her to ask the person.

Because Xuanyuan Qinghe inexplicably felt that Li Xiaoran would have more opportunities to ask more questions, and would grasp more clues and details, so he simply asked her to ask, which would be very convenient.

"What is your name, and where do you live? What are the clues you know? Li Xiaoran asked directly.

"My name is Wang Xiang, and I live in Xiuxiang, but what if I tell you that you don't believe me?" The man named Wang Xiang asked with some uncertainty, as if he didn't believe the people in the official yamen.

"You haven't even said anything, how do you know we don't believe it? Or are you kidding us? Li Xiaoran said directly and questioning.

"I'll just ask casually, you should know the son of the Yang family and the young lady of the Wang family, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Xuanyuan Qinghe and Li Xiaoran looked at each other at the same time, since Liu Xiang asked so, it must be that Yang Wen and Wang Zhi must have something to do with this matter, and it just so happened that they were also under suspicion.

"I know, you go on!" Xuanyuan Qinghe interjected and said expressionlessly. In fact, a group of people who are excited in their hearts feel that there will be clues soon, even if they will not catch the murderer immediately, but at least there is a general direction.

"Actually, I saw the two of them come to the embroidery alley a long time ago, but they didn't know what to do.

On that day, I saw Lin Yuan coming, Lin Yuan was the person who was hurt this time, I knew him, I wanted to say hello, but I saw him walk into the alley.

Later, I saw that he ran out, and then another person rushed out of the alley, Lin Yuan was tripped and fell to the ground, and the man stabbed him directly with a dagger.

I was so scared that I wanted to scream, but I had never seen anything like it before, so I was silent.

When I finally raised my head to look, with the help of the faint light of the lantern, I just saw the murderer's face, he was Yang Wen, the son of the Yang family. Liu Shen told the scene he saw that day.

Now Liu Shen's mood finally feels relaxed, the secrets that have been precipitated in his heart have also been said, and there is finally no sense of guilt in his heart.
