Yan Ran thought, it is difficult for her Half Moon Bay not to be famous, it has only been two months, and it has been surrounded twice, the first time is the Yue family, leaving a place of blood and human life; The second time was the officers and soldiers of Cloudsdale, however, this time, she chose to compromise, after all, the people do not fight with the officials, it is an iron law, she is not alone now, there are still many people behind her who rely on her, so she can't live as wantonly as in modern times.

Besides, in Cloudsdale, is there a better option than to cooperate with the City Lord? Although it is also very pleasant to cooperate with Jian Gongzi under the Dragon Throne, her heart is very big, and the information provided by Jian Gongzi will one day not satisfy her appetite.

After she was woken up by Poria Shi needle, she walked out of Half Moon Bay, some things, the more it dragged on, the more troublesome it became, she believed that the city lord should have been on fire all night, after all, killing her in the yamen was a provocation to him, the lord of a city, this kind of behavior is absolutely not allowed to appear by a superior person.

The City Lord's Mansion, located in the north of the center of the city in the clouds, covers an extremely wide area, after the construction, expansion and reconstruction of the city lords of the past dynasties, today's City Lord's Mansion is magnificent, like a small palace, glazed tiles, red copper doors, showing majesty and luxury everywhere.

Yan Ran and Dongfang Ming, under the leadership of the subordinates, entered the door, a wide and smooth stone road, at the end of which was a magnificent building built on nine steps, just at a glance, Yan Ran was shocked, here, it is really TM is a condensed version of the Forbidden City!

The guards were wearing light armor, one by one they were as tall as pine, and the weapons in their hands were cold and light, with a sense of tranquility.

Yan Ran walked briskly, his demeanor was peaceful, if he was strolling leisurely, dressed in men's clothes, but wearing a different kind of romantic taste, with a shallow smile on his gorgeous face, and the slightest emotion could not be seen in his mysterious and beautiful eyes, but his leisurely appearance seemed to be not caught by the city lord, but to the city lord's mansion as a guest.

Dongfang Ming, who was following her, was dressed in white, with a noble temperament, cold as frost on her fairy-like appearance, and a pair of moon-like eyes on the sea always paid attention to the situation of the women around her, for fear that something would happen to her, after all, a quarter of an hour ago, she was still in a daze.

In the tall and magnificent hall, Mu Xueyi, who was dressed in a light purple brocade robe, sat in the top position, behind him, stood the inseparable housekeeper Mu Wei, under the three steps and on the first chair on the left, sat Yue Heng, who was dressed in a navy blue brocade robe, no one spoke, and the huge hall was terrifyingly quiet.

When Yan Ran and Dongfang Ming came in, they felt something unusual in the temple.

Yue Heng watched Yan Ran and Dongfang Ming appear, snorted coldly, and turned his head to the side.

Yan Ran didn't care at all, and after saluting Mu Xueyi, he stood quietly to the side, not planning to deal with Yue Heng at all, Dongfang Ming straightened his back, stood beside Yan Ran, didn't say a word, let alone salute, and treated himself as a transparent person.

Yue Heng was sullen, looking at Dongfang Ming standing there indifferently, the scenery was beautiful, and his noble temperament made people feel that it was normal for him not to salute.

At least, Mu Xueyi didn't force Dongfang to salute, he just looked at the pair of men and women quietly, but he was more curious in his heart.

"Last night's incident, please give us an explanation." Yan Ran didn't make a detour, he spoke in a tough tone, and after finishing speaking, he glanced coldly at Yue Heng who was sitting on the side.

"Hmph, what kind of attitude do you have! If you want the lord of the city to give you an explanation, who do you think you are? The city lord didn't cure you for the crime of absconding in fear of sin, which is already cheap for you, and you dare to come and confess! Yue Heng sneered and opened his mouth.

Mu Xueyi looked at the woman standing straight below, looking at her with a look of arrogance, and a trace of inexplicable emotion slipped through her eyes.

"Hmph, I am afraid of crime and abscond, if I really am afraid of crime and abscond, the head of the Yue family thinks that we will be standing here, if we don't take the initiative to show up today, you can find us?" Yan Ran said mockingly.

Yue Heng hated it in his heart, yes, he also sent people from the Yue family to look for it last night, but no one thought that they would actually go out of the city.

At this time, Mu Xueyi's voice as warm as spring water sounded at the right time: "Miss Yanran, what do you want to explain?" ”

Yue Heng didn't expect his brother-in-law to be so easy to talk to, and his heart became more and more unhappy, he was his sister's father-in-law, and he had never been treated so kindly for so many years.

Yan Ran didn't look at Yue Heng, he saluted Mu Xue's clothes in a proper manner, and then continued: "Lord City, yesterday when I watched the Hongtai Silver Tower on Zhi Street, I said that when we went, the people in the Hongtai Silver Building were already dead, and the Yue family master had to say that we were murderers!" In order to prove our innocence, we obeyed the arrangement of the adults, tied our hands and arrested, and followed Master Li to meet the Yamen, but just last night, a group of masked killers stunned the soldiers of the Yamen and wanted to assassinate us! ”

When Yan Ran said this, he glanced at Yue Heng again, and then said: "Lord of the city, you are the lord of a city, you are diligent in government and love the people, and you work hard to make Yunzhong City rich and strong. I have to say that the prosperity of Cloud City is all due to the city lord's achievements. "Sycophants are also technical work," it is said that the people of Cloud City should love and support the city lord, but now, someone has run to the yamen to commit murder, which is a provocation to the city lord Hongguoguo! Yan Ran said with righteous indignation, and he couldn't wait to catch that pervert immediately.

Yan Ran's last few words finally reached Mu Xueyi's heart, but after contemplation in the middle of the night, his anger had long since disappeared, but if he was not angry, he was not angry, and the matter still had to be resolved.

"The city lord has already sent someone to investigate, and today I want to tell the two of you that before the matter is investigated, the two of you must not leave Cloud City, otherwise, the city lord will abscond with you in fear of crime!" Mu Xueyi's gaze was tightly locked on Yan Ran's face, as if she wanted to see her thoughts clearly.

"Dare to ask how the city lord investigated?" Yan Ran was noncommittal and changed the subject.

With this question, Mu Xueyi frowned suddenly, and her gaze at Yan Ran suddenly turned cold, "These are not the issues you should care about. ”

"Lord of the City, we are the people involved in the case, we just want justice, why has nothing to do with us." Yan Ran sneered, and suddenly looked at Yue Heng, "Master Yue, did you say yes or no?" ”

"What do you mean?" Yue Heng saw her yin and yang weird appearance, and his face became even more ugly.

"Hmph, the head of the Yue family, you are also the head of the dignified family, the grievances between me and your Yue family have been written off after the life and death of the cloud turning platform! I used my life to win back Guanzhi Street, I know that you are reluctant, and you have secretly played a lot of small tricks, I didn't care about these, but, yesterday, your Yue family did too much! Yan Ran's tone was hurried and tough.

"You woman, ashamed to spew blood!" Yue Heng stood up violently.

"I'm spurting blood? When I first came to Cloud City, I only had a holiday with your Yue family! Yesterday, there was an accident on Guanzhi Street, the shops were closed, no one appeared on the whole street, we walked into Guanzhi Street and were attacked, and when we arrived at Hongtai Silver Building, we found that all those people were dead, we went in with the front foot, and you appeared on the back foot, and, until now, I still have a few subordinates who are missing, life and death are unknown! At night, we were in Yamen, and we were also assassinated! Let's ask, who will be the one who has the strength to do all this in this Cloud City? Who could it be? Yan Ran finished speaking in one breath and glared at Yue Heng.

Yue Heng slapped his palm on the table, "You are talking nonsense, yesterday when I said that you killed someone, you asked me for evidence, and now you say that I harmed you, then you also show evidence!" ”

As soon as Yan Ran heard this, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he turned to look at the city lord Mu Xueyi: "City Lord forgive me, Yan Ran was just a quick speaker just now, the Yue family master is right, everything must be seen by the evidence, before the evidence is found, Yan Ran can't say that everything yesterday was done by the Yue family, so, here, in front of the city lord, I, Yan Ran, say a humble word to the Yue family master, I hope the Yue family master doesn't care about Yan Ran's words just now!" ”

Yue Heng and Mu Xueyi were both slightly stunned, they didn't expect this woman to say the words of apology so simply.

"However, Lord Castle, Yan Ran also wants to participate in the investigation......"

Before Yan Ran's words were finished, Yue Heng interrupted her: "No, you are a suspect, how can you participate in the investigation!" ”

Yan Ran glanced at Yue Heng and sneered: "Yue Family Master, the City Lord hasn't spoken yet, why are you in a hurry!" Yan Ran's words suddenly made Yue Heng's face change, and he hurriedly saluted Mu Xueyi, with a slight anxious look on his face, "City Lord, ......"

Before he could start speaking, Mu Xueyi interrupted him: "Okay." ”

When Yue Heng heard this, he quickly silenced and stopped talking.

Yan Ran took the opportunity to continue: "Lord City Lord, Yan Ran just wants to investigate and deal with the truth of the matter as soon as possible, give an explanation to himself, and also give an explanation to the City Lord, and even give an explanation to the merchants who are worried about Guanzhi Street. ”

Yan Ran looked sincere, and looked at Mu Xueyi with a firm gaze.

Yue Heng on the side looked at Mu Xueyi with a worried face, he was afraid that Mu Xueyi would agree, because he had already seen that he, the brother-in-law of the city lord, was very unusual to this woman named Yan Ran, thinking of this, he looked at Dongfang Ming, who was standing beside Yan Ran, who had not spoken, and all kinds of gossip in his heart.

Who said that gossip is a woman's nature, in fact, men gossip too.

However, in the end, Mu Xueyi still shook her head and refused Yan Ran's request to participate in the investigation.

Although Yan Ran was unwilling in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face.

It wasn't until she walked out of the City Lord's Mansion that Dongfang Ming, who was following her, suddenly let out a long breath and looked relaxed.

Seeing this, Yan Ran quipped: "What? In there you haven't been breathing? ”

"Pretty much." Dongfang Ming smiled lightly, and then asked: "Lady, the city lord doesn't allow us to check, let's check it ourselves." ”

"Well, let's check it ourselves!" Yan Ran said and turned to look at the magnificent building behind him, and the man who was tall and noble but had a sad face came to his mind......
