After Xie Jinlan let the two of them get up, he looked at Master Chen and said, "Master Chen, you asked to see this official today, but this official let you have a result in the matter you investigated?" ”

Master Chen bowed his head slightly, and said with a straight face: "Yes, my lord." After some investigation, Xia Guan found that on the day of Wang Yuanwai's birthday banquet, only one of the many guests had an alibi. ”

The corners of Xie Jinlan's mouth hooked slightly: "Oh? Who is this person? ”

Master Chen said: "It is Yang Yuanwai, whose wealth in Lin'an County is second only to Wang Yuanwai. ”

After a pause, he continued:

"Yang Yuanwai and Wang Yuanwai have been at odds with each other for a long time, which is a well-known thing in Lin'an County. The two are always secretly stealing each other's business, but Wang Yuanwai is always slightly better than Yang Yuanwai.

Over the years, Yang Yuanwai has not missed any opportunity to pull Wang Yuanwai from the position of the richest man, so that he can replace him. But it never worked. ”

Xie Jinlan thought thoughtfully: "As soon as Wang Tianci dies, there will be no successor to the king." Wang Yuanwai is getting older, and after a few years, he is afraid that he will be a little powerless in business. In this way, this Yang Yuanwai also has enough motive to kill. ”

Master Chen bowed slightly, and then frowned slightly: "That's true." It's just that this Yang Yuanwai relied on himself to have some friendship with many officials in Lin'an and refused to cooperate with our investigation. ”

Xie Jinlan smiled: "What's so difficult about this? Later, you send someone to Yang Yuanwai's mansion and tell him that this is an order from the official himself, and if he really does not want to be investigated, he can only be invited to sit in his cell. ”

Master Chen was instantly relieved: "The next official receives the order!" ”

Xie Jinlan turned to ask, "Does Master Chen have any other discoveries?" ”

Master Chen restrained his expression: "Regarding Lin Zirou, the daughter of Mama Zeng, the lower officials also found out some old things......

Five years ago, Lin Zirou was not a first-class personal ring in front of Mrs. Wang, she was just a second-class maid in Tingfeng Academy.

It's just that one day later, Lin Zirou was suddenly promoted to work in front of Mrs. Wang. According to those subordinates, it seems that Lin Zirou helped Wang Tianci do something, and Wang Tianci said a few kind words in front of Mrs. Wang before she was promoted. But what Lin Zirou helped Wang Tianci did, no one knows.

Three years later, I don't know what unhappiness happened between Lin Zirou and Wang Tianci.

Since a certain day, whenever Wang Tianci sees Lin Zirou, his nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes. But it seems that he was worried about something, and he didn't really do anything to her.

And Lin Zirou didn't have anything to do with Wang Tianci, and her attitude towards him was still the same.

The completely different attitudes of the two made everyone's hearts favor Lin Zirou, and they felt that it must be given by Wang Tianci.

Such remarks reached Wang Tianci's ears and made him scoff: "That Lin Zirou looks harmless, but if she does something bad, her heart is a hundred times more ruthless than mine." ”

Wang Tianci's words reached Mama Zeng's ears, and Mama Zeng just smiled disapprerovingly: "Young master loves to laugh, what kind of person is my daughter, don't you know after so many years of getting along?" ”

I don't know if Lin Zirou really has a clear conscience, or because of some other reason, in short, this didn't affect her anything......

After listening to Master Chen's narration, Ruan Yezhen couldn't help muttering: "It is said that women have needles in their hearts, who can know if Mama Zeng and Lin Zirou really don't mind what Wang Tianci says and does?" ”

Xie Jinlan, who was sharp-eared, heard these words, glanced at Ruan Yezhen meaninglessly, and then looked at Master Chen: "Mama Zeng and Lin Zirou may not be as careless as they appear." ”

Master Chen straightened his back slightly, with a bit of expectation in his eyes: "What do you know?" ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head lightly and said, "The official just thinks that maybe the reason why Mama Zeng hid it that day was because of this matter." ”

Master Chen was slightly stunned: "Just because Wang Tianci can't get used to Lin Zirou and said bad things about Lin Zirou?" ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen seemingly unintentionally, and then said leisurely: "Women's hearts are in the sea, maybe it is a trivial thing that seems trivial to us, but they can remember it in their hearts for the rest of their lives. ”

When Ruan Yezhen heard this, she glared at Xie Jinlan fiercely: "You say, what do you want me to do?" Isn't Mo referring to Sang scolding Huai and talking about me? ”

At this time, Master Chen nodded approvingly: "What the adults said is very true. The ancients said, 'It is better to offend a villain than to offend a woman'. ”

Ruan Yezhen instantly turned the spear: "Don't overturn a boatload of people with a rod, don't forget that your mother is also a woman!" ”

Xie Jinlan then asked, "In addition to these, has Master Chen investigated Aunt Zhen?" Is she secretly in a relationship with a man in the Outer Mansion, as you might guess? ”

Master Chen's face was slightly red: "Please forgive the incompetence of the lower officials." According to the information from the investigation, Aunt Zhen has been very quiet since she entered the Wangyuan Foreign Mansion. Even her own yard rarely leaves, let alone has a secret relationship with a man. ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Then according to Master Chen's book, is this Aunt Zhen really as she shows, or does she have something else?" ”

Master Chen's face was ashamed: "The lower officials are ashamed, and the lower officials look at what Aunt Zhen says and does, and they only feel that she is gentle." As for the rest, it is not seen. ”

Xie Jinlan bowed his head slightly to show his understanding, and then said: "In the past two days, this official has gone to see Wang Tianci's corpse again, but there are other discoveries. ”

Master Chen's face was overjoyed: "The lower officials are willing to hear the details." ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Before Wang Tianci died, he had a good time with a woman. ”

Ruan Yezhen was listening carefully to the conversation between the two, and her cheeks suddenly turned red when she heard the words.

No matter how you say it, she is just a woman who has not yet come out of the cabinet.

Master Chen was only puzzled: "How did the adults see it?" After Wang Tianci's death, he was thrown into the lotus pond by the murderer, and even if he was contaminated with something, he had already been washed away by the pond water. ”

Xie Jinlan said with a smile: "This official has his own way of verifying. But he didn't want to explain anything.

Remembering that he had seen Xie Jinlan inspect Li Baoer's corpse with his own eyes, Master Chen did not ask much questions, and decisively chose to believe Xie Jinlan's statement.

As if thinking of something, his eyebrows twisted slightly:

In this way, the woman who was happy with Wang Tianci may be the one who has seen Wang Tianci's last face.

It's just that according to the investigation, Wang Tianci had already opened all his personal servants before the official start of the birthday banquet that day, and there was no trace. According to the people below, he did not go to any of his aunt's yards. ”

Xie Jinlan said: "That can only show that the woman is not the person in Wang Tianci's room, and the two of them secretly do that kind of thing somewhere." ”

Master Chen nodded slightly in agreement: "It should be so." ”
