Chapter 66: Entrusted with important matters
Xie Jinlan shook his head gently, crossed his hands on the back of his neck, leaned against the guardrail behind him casually, and opened his mouth casually:
"Miss Ruan, maybe most people think like you, and think that it might be better for Wang Tianci to die. Some people even think that the murderer is for the people of Lin'an, and the government should not arrest him.
However, no one has the right to deprive a person of his life at will. Even if this person is full of evil. Everything should be handed over to the government. Otherwise, what is the meaning of the existence of the law of this Daye Dynasty? ”
Listening to Xie Jinlan's words, Ruan Yezhen suddenly lowered her head in shame: "It's me who is narrow-minded." You're right, if everyone resolves grievances like this, then the world is probably going to be chaotic. ”
Xie Jinlan didn't know what he thought, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of mockery: "However, since ancient times, officials and officials have protected each other, and there are not a few collusions between officials and businessmen. Not all grievances submitted to the government can get justice. ”
Ruan Yezhen looked at Xie Jinlan in a daze, she didn't understand, why would the person who told her to abide by the law one moment be so slanderous of the officials of the Daye Dynasty the next moment?
Xie Jinlan's sudden laughter made Ruan Yezhen suddenly sober up:
"Xie Jinlan, maybe what you said is right. But as the saying goes, 'when the water is clear, there are no fish'. As long as the saint is a wise monarch today, he has not been blinded by traitors. Then the way of the world will not be controlled by traitors. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. ”
When Xie Jinlan heard this, he shook his head self-deprecatingly: "I never thought that I, Xie Jinlan, have seen so much of the world, but I am not as thorough as you, a deep daughter." ”
Ruan Yezhen looked at Xie Jinlan with her eyes shining instantly: "So, are you praising me?" Are you admitting that you are inferior to me? Isn't it ......?"
Ruan Yezhen's almost coquettish appearance somehow dispelled the boredom in Xie Jinlan's heart.
He nodded helplessly: "Yes." Miss Ruan is right, I am indeed inferior to you. ”
When Ruan Yezhen heard this, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, and she smiled even more.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and looked at Xie Jinlan suspiciously: "You are here this time, but you have something important to entrust to me?" ”
Speaking of business, Xie Jinlan's expression couldn't help but be right: "I remember that girl, you once said that anyone's voice sounds different to you, and it is never the same!" But so? ”
Ruan Yezhen nodded lightly: "Yes, that's right!" ”
Xie Jinlan groaned slightly, and then said, "I hope you can pay attention to the movements near the lotus pond in the next few nights. ”
Ruan Yezhen clasped her hands together, and her face showed a little hesitation: "Does it have to be night?" ”
Xie Jinlan understood why she was like this, and couldn't help but smile: "Miss Ruan, why I made such a request, I think you know it." In that case, why should you bother asking? ”
Ruan Yezhen responded a little reluctantly: "Then I'll try my best." You know what I'm like, and I don't necessarily notice it. ”
Xie Jinlan expressed understanding: "This is nature. ”
Then, one person and one ghost looked at each other without saying a word.
It was Ruan Yezhen who broke the silence first: "Xie Jinlan, are you still fine?" ”
Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows and shook his head with some regret:
"Miss Ruan, this is, drive me away? I thought the girl wanted me to stay. In this way, it seems that I would be mistaken. ”
As he spoke, he jumped off the guardrail in a very dashing manner, flicked the dust that did not exist on the sleeve of his coat, and made a gesture to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute! When did I say I wanted you to leave? ”
Ruan Yezhen's face was anxious, and while she said something to stop her, she instantly floated in front of Xie Jinlan.
Greeted Xie Jinlan's very indecent smile, how could Ruan Yezhen not know that she was being teased by him? Suddenly, willow eyebrows raised: "Xie Jinlan!" ”
Xie Jinlan responded painlessly, and then rubbed his ears and teased: "Girl, Xie has a very good ear, you don't have to be so loud." What did the girl command? ”
Since she was a child, Ruan Yezhen has never quarreled with others like this. At this moment, how could he be Xie Jinlan's opponent?
I saw that her face turned red, and she glared at Xie Jinlan fiercely: "You...... You...... You ......"
Half loud, but I can't say why.
In the end, she hung her head very dejectedly: "Xie Jinlan, do you think I'm useless?" ”
Xie Jinlan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's really useless." ”
Such a truth-telling appearance provoked Ruan Yezhen to raise her eyes and glared at him fiercely: "Can't you tell lies to comfort me?" ”
Xie Jinlan sat back on the guardrail, glanced at Ruan Yezhen, and asked casually: "Then do you want to listen to lies?" ”
Ruan Yezhen drooped her shoulders again and dejectedly: "I don't want to." ”
Looking at Xie Jinlan, who was in a wanton manner, her eyes showed a little envy:
"Xie Jinlan, why can you live so chic, as if everything is just a trivial matter? I truly envy you. Unlike me, I don't know what to do when something happens......"
When Xie Jinlan heard this, his expression paused slightly, and then he laughed at himself:
"If one day, you knew what I had experienced, you would never say the word envy again."
Meeting Ruan Yezhen's puzzled eyes, the corners of Xie Jinlan's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and he had no intention of elaborating.
Xie Jinlan's appearance made Ruan Yezhen suddenly remember something, and a little chagrin flashed on her face:
Her mother once told her that there are some things that should not be said lightly until you know what others have experienced. So she didn't say something that shouldn't have been said......
Although her back was to Ruan Yezhen, Xie Jinlan seemed to see her worried expression, and said nonchalantly: "The girl didn't say anything hurtful, don't worry too much." ”
Then he turned around and quipped, "If the girl really wants to make up for something, why don't you make it up to yourself?" ”
When Ruan Yezhen heard this, she couldn't help but put her hands around her chest, and glared at him angrily: "I haven't been in shape all day!" ”
Xie Jinlan leaned on the guardrail with a relaxed posture, tapped his knees with his fingertips, and smiled disapprovingly: "Since the day she knew me, didn't the girl already know that I was a son-in-law?" ”
Ruan Yezhen suddenly choked and couldn't refute.
At this moment, a very hurried and somewhat flustered footsteps came from far and near.
One person and one ghost couldn't help but look towards the arch at the entrance to the garden.
After a while, the figure of a young man dressed as a small man came into their eyes.
This person is none other than Mo Yan, who was sent back to the yamen by Xie Jinlan and personally brought Xiaobai over.
Seeing Xie Jinlan sitting on the wooden bridge at a glance, Mo Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked away quickly with the snake basket.
