There was no fear in Zhang Yiling's tone, more impatience.

Liu Xun saw it in his eyes, and he had a plan in his heart.

It seems that his nephew is an unknown person.

The niece was much more cautious than he thought......

But thinking of the 'strategy' he just heard, he still couldn't make up his mind.

Speaking of which, what is the truth, as long as you are not a fool, you have the answer in your heart.

So, he knows exactly how risky this matter is.

What's more, now that the official errand suddenly came, I don't know what the situation is.

"This ...... How could the official errand come? Liu Xun stood up and asked as if puzzled.

Zhang Meiyan forced her composure and said: "Now that my suspicion has not been removed, it is not surprising that the yamen can come to the door at any time to inquire - Yiling, let them in." ”

In fact, my heart has long been extremely uneasy.

Officials soon poured in.

The official at the head arched his hand towards Zhang Meiyan and said, "I am on the order of Lord Yin Cheng of the Beijing Yafu to come to search your mansion. If there is any offense, please forgive Miss Zhang. ”

Zhang Meiyan frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Haven't you searched before?"

"It's been searched, but I'm afraid that something will be missed." The chief official asked in a cold tone: "Miss Zhang has no opinion, right?" ”

Zhang Meiyan smiled.

"I don't dare to have it, and it is my duty to cooperate with the government to handle the case - you don't have to search."

It turned out to be just a search, and she thought there was some new evidence......

Search it, she wasn't afraid before, and now she naturally doesn't have to be afraid.

"Uncle, please sit in the hall for a while, and I will accompany the officials to search first, so as to guide the way."

Liu Xun looked at her calmness in his eyes and nodded.

The official searched all the way into the inner courtyard, much more carefully than the last time.

Zhang Meiyan always felt something unusual in her eyes.

Until, the official at the head suddenly asked her in the kitchen, "Didn't there be a lot of medicine in this cabinet before?" ”

Zhang Meiyan's heart beat violently.

How could this man remember ...... so clearly?

She asked as calmly as she could, "There was indeed medicine here before, but it was just ...... Haven't you already looked at them all before? But what's the problem? ”

"What I asked, Miss Zhang replied - where are those medicines now?" The official's tone was crisp and left no room for error.

Zhang Meiyan thought quickly in her head.

She subconsciously wanted to cover it up by lying, but she soon realized that if she was obeyed by her father, she would be exposed, and the fact that she was weak would be exposed.

The more you get to this juncture, the more you can't panic.

She clenched her fingers tightly and replied in a very normal tone: "Those medicines have been left for a long time, and they are moldy, so I took them and threw them away." ”

"It is said that Miss Zhang's family is poor, and it is strange that so many medicines are thrown away." Said the chief official.

Many moldy medicinal herbs can still be used if they are taken out and picked out to dry.

Zhang Meiyan smiled ashamedly: "I haven't done these things since I was a child, and now there is no one at home to remind me, but I just feel that I can't use it if I have mold." ”

The chief official did not refute it.

That's a pretty good deal.

Zhang Meiyan said, "Why don't I take you to see it elsewhere?" ”

"There's no hurry." The official looked at her and asked, "I don't know where those medicinal herbs were thrown away by Miss Zhang?" ”

Zhang Meiyan didn't expect him to ask like this.

“…… Is there something wrong with those herbs? She asked cautiously.

"As I said earlier, what I asked, Miss Zhang answered."

This time, Zhang Meiyan didn't speak for a long time.

The more this happened, the more questioning the eyes of the official looked at her, and the more nervous she became, unable to make the decision she thought was right.

Lying, she was afraid that it would bring trouble after being exposed.

To be honest, she was afraid that the government had already noticed something, and she was just waiting to collect evidence.

"What? Miss Zhang doesn't even remember such a simple thing? The official asked.

"Those herbs...... I ......"

Zhang Meiyan was about to say that she had been burned by herself, when she suddenly saw an official walk in quickly, and said to the leader: "Boss, under the root of the backyard wall, a lot of buried medicinal materials have been found. ”

Zhang Meiyan was nervous but faintly happy.

Fortunately...... Fortunately, she hasn't had time to tell the lie yet, otherwise she really doesn't know what to look at!

Seeing that the chief official was looking at her, she hurriedly replied, "Indeed, I buried it there." ”

"I don't know why Miss Zhang is buried?"

She had thought about throwing it away, but it was terrible that someone near Zhuangzi was staring, which aroused suspicion.

She also thought about burning it clean, but she was afraid that the smoke and smell of the herbs after burning would also attract attention.

After all, these things have been inspected by the government, and nothing unusual has been found...... In order to prevent self-defeating, she buried it temporarily.

She originally thought that the corner of the backyard was already hidden enough, but who knew that today's officials had the potential to dig three feet into the ground......!

"I haven't been out recently, and I'm afraid that there will be moths after a long time, I've always been afraid of insects...... And he buried it. ”

The official didn't know whether he believed her words or not, so he only turned his head to his subordinates and ordered: "Dig them out and bring them all back to the yamen." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Meiyan accompanied the officials to continue the search for a long time.

The sun is gradually turning westward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you need to search again?" Zhang Meiyan took the initiative to ask, appearing very cooperative.

"No need." The chief official turned his words around and asked, "I don't know the prescriptions for those medicines, but are they still there?" ”

This is when he led people out of the yamen today, the entourage around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially caught up and explained.

Almost instantly, Zhang Meiyan's back was covered with cold sweat.

"What does the official want to do with this? There are no ready-made prescriptions, but I have memorized these herbs and the amount of them, so I can write them out on the spot. ”

"Then there's Miss Lao Zhang."

"Wait a minute, ...... official"

Zhang Meiyan returned to the room, took out the pen and paper, but accidentally knocked over the inkstone while grinding, and the ink was messy.

She took a deep breath as she took a deep breath in her left hand on her trembling right wrist.

Don't panic, she just wrote less about the medicine, and the government has no evidence to prove anything.

When she handed the prescription to the official, the official asked, "Who prescribed this prescription?" ”

"My father has been using this prescription for more than two years...... The family is struggling, since it is the same disease, and this medicine is also very effective, it is not good to deliberately invite Lang Zhong to come to the door. Because it has been a long time, I can't remember which doctor saw this diagnosis at the beginning, and I ask the official to forgive me. ”

She replied like this, and the official couldn't say anything.

Zhang Meiyan's fingers had already scratched the palm.

This is just an official errand, so she interrogated in such detail, she didn't dare to think deeply about whether it was because someone noticed something behind this.

At this time, the official asked again-
