Mo Yan glanced at Xie Jinlan and saw that he had no objection, so he said:

The shopkeeper said that Na Feng's mother has a very corner room in the inn all the year round, but the days of real check-in are often no more than ten days in a month.

And on the days when Feng's mother moved in, there would always be ...... in the room That sound came out. ”

When Ruan Yezhen heard this, she didn't know why at first, but after she reacted to what Mo Yan was referring to, her face turned slightly red.

Xie Jinlan didn't react unusually, and said, "Who is the man in that room?" ”

Mo Yan shook his head lightly and said:

"Nobody knows. It's weird. Feng's mother's room has never been seen in or out of a man's room.

But most of the shopkeepers heard that kind of sound coming from Feng's mother's room. It was they who were so sure that Feng's mother was doing that kind of thing with the man in the room. ”

Xie Jinlan's eyebrows narrowed slightly: "Why did Mother Feng deliberately do such a thing with an unknown man at the Liuxie Inn?" ”

Ruan Yezhen gradually calmed down, and also thought along with Xie Jinlan's words:

"Not bad. It stands to reason that Xiaoyu Pavilion is a green building, if Feng's mother really looks at the right man and does something in the pavilion, everyone will only get used to it.

Why should she spend this extra money to make others laugh? ”

Mo Yan looked left and right, and saw that the two of them no longer needed themselves, so they retreated very consciously.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the same doubts in each other's eyes. Then he invariably lowered his eyes slightly and thought.

Suddenly, Ruan Yezhen, who thought of something, suddenly brightened her eyes, and raised her eyes to look at Xie Jinlan opposite: "I! ”

"Me!"

At this moment, Xie Jinlan also raised his eyes to look at her.

"You speak first!"

"You speak first!"

The two spoke in unison again.

After glancing at each other, both of them couldn't help but laugh.

Xie Jinlan said: "Let's talk about your opinion first." ”

Ruan Yezhen bowed her head slightly and said, "Mother Feng has gone to such great lengths, I guess maybe the man's identity is not enough for outsiders." ”

Xie Jinlan nodded approvingly and said:

"Yes, that's what I think. In this case, there are two possibilities for the identity of a man.

First, the man's status is precious, and if people know that he has an affair with the old bustard of Xiaoyu Pavilion, it will definitely affect his reputation.

Second, the man is a killer and can't let too many people notice his existence. ”

Ruan Yezhen thought so: "What you say is reasonable, but I am more inclined to the latter." ”

Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Why? ”

Ruan Yezhen glanced at him speechlessly: "Are you deliberately testing me?" ”

Without waiting for Xie Jinlan's reaction, she continued:

"That man has been in and out of the Liuxie Inn for so many years, but he has never let anyone find his traces, which shows that his skills are not ordinary."

Xie Jinlan glanced at her appreciatively and said, "Then do you have a candidate in mind?" ”

Ruan Yezhen had no choice in her heart, but when he asked like this, a face suddenly flashed in her mind, and she said uncertainly: "The owner of the fish-patterned scabbard?" ”

Xie Jinlan affirmed her thoughts: "The only person I can think of is this person." ”

Ruan Yezhen disagreed: "We haven't investigated Mother Feng in depth, how can we be sure that she only knows this one person with strong martial arts?" ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Your suspicions are also justified. Let's put that aside for now. Now we have more important things to do. ”

Ruan Yezhen was puzzled: "More important things? ”

Xie Jinlan prompted: "Forgot what I said to you in the study? ”

Ruan Yezhen naturally didn't forget, but she still didn't understand what Xie Jinlan meant.

Xie Jinlan didn't explain, looked at Mo Yan who was standing aside, and said:

"Mo Yan, you asked people to secretly go to Xiaoyu Pavilion to spread the news, saying that Mother Feng was now detained in the prefect's prison because she committed an unforgivable crime, and she will be beheaded in three days."

Mo Yan immediately responded, and then turned to leave.

Ruan Yezhen's eyes rolled, and she quickly understood Xie Jinlan's intentions:

"You said it to the man on purpose?"

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly:

"Not bad. He has a close relationship with Feng's mother, and even if he can hold it down at first, he will definitely go to prison when he is about to be beheaded.

In addition, if the man who had an affair with Feng's mother was not this person, that person would definitely take action when he heard about it. ”

Ruan Yezhen lowered her eyes slightly, nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Xie Jinlan:

"The prefect's prison, does it need to set up a net so that people don't have to come back?"

Xie Jinlan smiled meaningfully: "This, let's leave it to Master Zhou." ”

Looking at Xie Jinlan's somewhat calculating smile in the interview, Ruan Yezhen didn't know whether to be glad that he was calculating not himself, or to sympathize with the calculated Zhou Zhushu.

......

On the second day, Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen had just finished breakfast when they heard someone report that someone was asking to see them.

Hearing the name of the person who asked to be seen, Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen couldn't help but glance at each other.

Immediately, Xie Jinlan asked people to take the man to the study to meet.

In just a moment, a young man who looked like a scholar was taken to the study.

This person is none other than Chen Qing, who was arrested as a murderer and put in the county prison not long after entering Xinlin County.

After Chen Qingchao, Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen bowed, and said:

"Thank you and Mrs. for your help. If it weren't for you, Chen Qing would definitely die here. Such a great kindness, Chen Qing is unforgettable!

In the future, if the lord and the lady have anything to order, Chen Qing will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire! ”

Xie Jinlan said with a smile: "I remember what you said, if there is something in the future, I will definitely be the first to ask you for help." ”

Chen Qing solemnly responded.

Immediately, under Xie Jinlan's signal, he sat down on the side.

Ruan Yezhen was a little impatient and said, "Chen Qing, how did you get released from prison?" But the one who was released from prison today? But what did Jiang Yingyu do? ”

Chen Qingwei bowed his head and said, "Madame's guess is right, Zai Xia was indeed released from prison early this morning." It was also the county order of Xinlin County that ordered it to be put down. It's a long story......"

That day, in the evening after Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen left the cell, Jiang Yingyu took Steward Yan to the prison to see Chen Qing.

After retreating left and right, only the housekeeper Yan was left alone, Jiang Yingyu did not beat around the bush, and directly took out the jade pendant that Xie Jinlan handed over to him, and said to Chen Qing:

"Lord Xie has discussed with this official, and I want you to get out of the cell as soon as possible. It's just that after you leave here, you can't forget the kindness of this official. ”

Chen Qing first glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, and then said, "But what do you need me to cooperate with?" ”

Jiang Yingyu was very dissatisfied with Chen Qing's attitude: he actually called me in front of a dignified county order, didn't he take him seriously?

But thinking that this person is the old acquaintance of the newcomer's prefect, he didn't show it.
