The quiet room where the suspect is held in Dali Temple is quite dim, and this little waiter is used to serving people, so he picked up the candle flame very easily, and then said: "Xiaoshuang and Hanjiang are extremely powerful in front of the master, especially Xiaoshuang, almost all the big and small things in Yunhua Palace are in charge of her, so she has face in front of the master, more than others." If you ask for something, just tell the master directly, how can you reveal it to us? ”

"In other words, you only know that she is going to leave the palace at an age in the future, but you don't know why she is leaving the palace?"

The little chamberlain's tone was not hurried, and there was a hint of softness in his voice, which was very coherent, which made people very comfortable to listen to: "I can't say that, although I don't know what Xiaoshuang's plans are, but the way out for the palace maid is nothing more than two." Some people like the wealth in the palace, so they leave the housekeeper aunt and follow the master's scenery. Some people don't like intrigue in the palace, trembling, so they go out of the palace to find a lover and live an ordinary life, although they may not live well, but at least they don't have to serve people anymore. ”

Ji Erlan heard what he said, and it was indeed the truth, so she asked: "So Xiaoshuang is so powerful in front of Lan Guiren, but she wants to leave the palace, is there anyone outside the palace that she cares about?" ”

"I don't know." The little waiter shook his head and said, "However, Hanjiang has a soft temperament and gets along with us closer on weekdays, so everyone still knows a little bit about her." She is timid, walking on thin ice in the palace, not living well, and the slightest thing makes her so scared that she can't sleep all night, so it is common sense to be in a hurry to get out of the palace, not because of anything else. ”

"Hmm."

Ji Erlan nodded, thought in silence for a while, and then let him go back. I also returned to the front and found that Xie Tang had arrived at Dali Temple, but his expression was still gloomy, and he must have slept well last night. After discussing with everyone for a long time, where to start, there was no progress due to many evasions.

Ji Erlan followed Ji Chenglin in a man's outfit, and it was difficult not to attract attention, because she was appointed by the emperor himself, so she could be regarded as a 'queen' maid.

She behaved as a man, greeted everyone with her hands, and then stopped talking about the situation of the corpse. After everyone else had received their respective tasks and left, she told Xie Tangqian about the relationship between Lan Guiren and the Xu family before entering the palace. But after the other party heard it, he was quite taboo, after all, Lan Guiren was already the emperor's woman, even if she was dead now, it was not easy to publicize Lan Guiren's involvement with other men.

Ji Erlan looked at his hesitant look, and knew that he couldn't make up his mind whether to check or not, she pondered for a moment and said: "The emperor only gave three days, Lord Xie must have a lot of things to arrange, why don't you go to Jiang's house to inquire about the matter and leave it to Zaixia, do you think it's feasible?" ”

Xie Tang glanced at Ji Chenglin and wanted to ask for his opinion. "Brother Ji thinks this matter is safe?"

Ji Chenglin didn't expect Ji Erlan to take care of this matter, but her words had already come out, and if she refused, she would offend Xie Tangqian, so although he was unwilling, he still said: "The little girl is careful and cautious, so it's okay to ask." ”

Xie Tangqian breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ji Erlan: "Since this is the case, I will bother you more." ”

Ji Erlan hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Excellency is polite. ”

Ji Chenglin quietly signaled Ji Erlan not to make any mess behind his back, and followed Xie Tang to investigate other suspicious matters.

Yuexi whispered: "This Lord Xie is notoriously timid and afraid, I really don't know how he got mixed with Shaoqing of Dali Temple......"

"Being timid and afraid of things does not necessarily mean that you can't do good things." Ji Erlan smiled lightly, and didn't care about Xie Tang throwing the hot potato to herself, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Jiang's house first, and then come back to interrogate Hanjiang and the others." ”

"I heard that Hanjiang suddenly cried early in the morning, she won't be so scared, right?"

Being able to cry means that she has vented her fear. If you keep holding back and not saying a word, it's really easy to go crazy. ”

Jiang's Mansion is also in Yong'an Fang, only two streets and alleys away from Ji's Mansion.

Hearing that it was the person who handled the case who came to interrogate, the porter hurriedly and carefully welcomed Ji Erlan in. Mrs. Jiang's eyes were swollen and bloodshot, and when she saw that it was the girl who showed her daughter's body yesterday, she couldn't help crying bitterly, Ji Erlan comforted: "Madame's mourning, the most important thing today is to find out the cause of Lan Guiren's death." If you have any questions, please let us know. ”

However, Zheng couldn't breathe when he cried, and he couldn't listen to her at all.

Ji Erlan had no choice but to say: "The emperor only gave three days to find out the reason, if you can't give the emperor an answer at that time." I'm afraid that the Jiang family will also be implicated, and when the time comes, how will Lord Jiang still obey orders in front of the emperor? ”

When Zheng heard this, his brows became more sad, but he gradually stopped his sad voice and said, "Whatever you want to ask, just ask......"

Ji Erlan thought for a moment and asked first, "Did Noble Lan ever mention to you about the affairs in the palace?" ”

Zheng shook his head and choked up: "Yun'er's position is not high, I haven't seen her since she entered the palace. On weekdays, letters can't say much about things in the palace, only some parents are short. I didn't expect to meet again, but she ...... Ended up like this......"

Lan Guiren's real name is Jiang Yun, and the title has a 'Lan character', which should be taken from Tinglan.

"So, did Lan Guiren have any special emotions expressed in the letter, such as not being used to anything, or being dissatisfied with the subordinates who serve around him, etc.?"

Zheng didn't know what the use of these questions was for the case, but he still replied 1510: "She has only been in the palace for more than a year, and the emperor has a lot of favor for her, and everything in the palace is exquisite and thoughtful, so there must be nothing unaccustomed, and she didn't mention it in the letter...... "She thought about it and said, "It's just that when I first entered the palace, I often said that I missed me and her father." He also said that it was too difficult to see each other in the future...... You also know that even if I can go to the palace to visit in the future, I can't say anything more. ”

There are many eyeliners in the palace, especially between concubines and concubines, and there are endless means of competing for favor, where can you talk at will or even complain.

Ji Erlan expressed her understanding and listened to Zheng's words: "Fortunately, the two girls around Yun'er have grown up with her since childhood, and they can talk to her on weekdays. It's just that there was a letter, she said that Xiaoshuang was going to leave the palace at twenty-five, although Hanjiang was safe, but he was too timid and afraid, and he was not suitable for being in the palace, and he might have to leave when he was old. She was a little distressed and mentioned it to me twice......"

"It seems that Lan Guiren is very considerate of her maidservant, Xiaoshuang said that she wanted to leave the palace, and she actually agreed."

"yes...... Yun'er's temper is very good, and she never treats the people around her harshly. ”

Ji Erlan is noncommittal, the mother looks at her daughter, and she is naturally good everywhere. She asked, "Regarding the matter of Lan Guiren's finger marriage, can Madame explain to me in detail?" ”

Zheng was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that she already knew about it, and her expression was a little strange.

Ji Erlan said: "I already know the general matter, but I am afraid of missing some subtleties, so please don't hide it." ”

"This, this thing...... Is it related to Yun'er's death? Zheng's face turned pale suddenly, and he said, "What do you mean, this matter is the revenge of the Xu family......

Ji Erlan was a little surprised. The Zheng family directly said the sentence 'revenge of the Xu family', indicating that she knew in her heart that about Jiang Yun's family affairs, their Jiang family was sorry for the Xu family. But the matter of withdrawing from relatives, isn't it because Xu Gongzi is sick and stupid? Even if the Jiang family took the initiative to withdraw from their relatives, it was understandable. After all, no one would marry a good daughter to a fool. Presumably, the party who was pushed will not say anything to blame.

In that case, why is Zheng so uneasy in his heart? Why does she feel indebted to the point that she thinks the other person is likely to retaliate?

Ji Erlan looked directly into her eyes, and did not say through this joint, but said: "This possibility is not ruled out, but before the matter is decided, everything is just a possibility, Madam Jiang should not think about it too much." ”

Zheng Shi was silent, knowing that he couldn't hide, so he had to say: "Yun'er did have a family affair before that he was married. Because the Jiang family and the Xu family are old friends, they have always had contacts. But the Xu family's brother suddenly fell ill and became stupid and stupid. The Xu family tried many ways but couldn't cure it. We...... I can't watch my daughter marry a fool, so I can only choose to quit my family......"

"Xu Gongzi suddenly fell ill? Was it before the Jiang family learned the emperor's intentions, or after? ”

Zheng was taken aback, and immediately said, "I can't remember. But then a look of remorse appeared on her face, as if she knew that her lie could be easily exposed, so she changed her tone and said, "It seems to be later...... Originally, Yun'er knew the emperor's meaning and didn't want to enter the palace, but who knew that Xu Gongzi fell ill at this time, and Yun'er had no other choice......

Ji Erlan didn't refute her defense, but just followed her words and asked, "Madame Jiang, can you take me to the courtyard where Lan Guiren lived before?" Are the people in her previous yard still in the house? ”

Seeing that she no longer asked about the Xu family, Zheng nodded happily, guided her out of the flower hall, and took her to the courtyard before Jiang Yun left the pavilion. On the other hand, he said: "She only brought Xiaoshuang and Hanjiang with her when she entered the palace, and the others, some of them are still there, and some of them have been assigned to other places." ”

Xingyun Pavilion has been uninhabited for a long time, but it is cleaned cleanly, and no one feels empty to the building. It can also be seen from this that Jiang Shilang and his wife love their daughter very much. When a few little girls in the courtyard saw outsiders coming, they all stood in the corner curiously and looked around. Zheng said: "This is Miss Ji, the emperor personally assigned to investigate the case, and you all come over." ”

Ji Erlan nodded at them and said to the Zheng family, "Madame, can you call the sisters of the Lan nobles, I still have something to ask them." ”

Zheng was a little hesitant, the other party wanted to ask Yun'er's sister for questioning, and she, a mother, had to go and tell her in person. But Ji Erlan seemed to want to ask these girls alone, and she had no reason to refuse, so she had to walk out of the yard quickly. Ji Erlan looked at the handmaidens in front of him and asked, "What were you all doing in the courtyard before?" ”
