The little guy had already seen that Xie Jinlan didn't like the many strangers around him, so he didn't show too much courtesy, but just asked with a smile: "Does Jin Gongzi need a small head to lead the way?" ”

Sure enough, the next moment, Xie Jinlan politely refused: "No need, you can just point me in the direction here." ”

Following the direction pointed by the little maid, Xie Jinlan and Mo Yan soon came to the entrance of the garden.

"Come on! Help me! Someone overboard! Someone overboard here! Is there anyone there......"

However, just as the two of them were about to step into the garden, a rather urgent cry was heard not far away.

Xie Jinlan paused, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and then he looked sideways at Mo Yan behind him: "This voice, do you sound familiar?" ”

Mo Yan listened attentively for a moment, and then opened his mouth with some uncertainty: "This seems to be Li Daniu's voice." ”

The shouts not far away not only reached the ears of Xie Jinlan and the others, but also reached the ears of a team of guards patrolling nearby in the mansion.

After a while, four or five young men in guard uniforms quickly ran past Xie Jinlan and the others, heading towards the source of the sound.

I don't know why this man who fell into the water came here in the dead of night? Isn't it a secret private meeting with someone?

With the intention of watching the excitement, Xie Jinlan took the ink inkstone and walked towards the direction where the guards disappeared without hurry.

When Xie Jinlan and the others approached the lotus pond, they saw that the guards were very difficult to fish out an obese man in a red brocade coat from the pool.

In the Wangyuan Foreign Mansion, there is no one else who can have such a body shape and wear it like this, except for Wang Tianci.

I don't know if he fainted or what, his eyes are closed at the moment, and he looks like he is being slaughtered.

Several people put the soaked Wang Tianci on the shore, and one of the slightly chubby guards twisted his eyebrows slightly, and said to the rest: "Young master! It's the young master who fell overboard! Tell the old lady! ”

Just when a short-lived guard was about to get up, a round-faced guard's sharp eyes found a little strange, his pupils shrank, and he trembled and pointed to Wang Tianci's left chest: "Young master, he ...... Is it hurt? Isn't that ...... Is it blood? ”

When the rest of the people heard this, their hearts were all in shock. The diminutive guard crouched down again.

After looking at each other, the slightly chubby guard from before reached out and ripped off the clothes on Wang Tianci's chest.

Suddenly, an extremely obvious sword wound appeared in front of several people, making them feel very dazzling.

Several people looked at each other, and their breath couldn't help but be slightly messy.

The slightly chubby guard raised his hand to probe Wang Tianci's snort, and then shook his head lightly at a few people: "It's already out of breath!" ”

The round-faced guard had just come to the Foreign Mansion not long ago, and when he heard this, he immediately sat on the ground, crying with a sad face: "The young master is dead, we will definitely not be able to eat and go around!" What now? ”

One of the guards with a dark color got up and rushed to the side of Li Daniu, who was very restrained. Directly lifted his shirt and glared angrily:

"Say! Isn't it what you did to our young master! Otherwise, what are you doing in the garden sneakily at such a late hour! ”

Poor Li Daniu, a strong man with three big and five thick, was directly lifted off the ground.

I saw that he was panicked and stammered, "I ...... I...... It's really none of my business...... I just happened to see ...... Someone threw the young master into the lotus pond......"

The guard pulled Li Daniu to himself: "Then what are you doing in the garden so late?" The place where the lord invited you carpenters to a banquet was in the side hall, right? ”

When Li Daniu heard this, a trace of emptiness flashed in his eyes, and his words flickered: "I...... I'm just coming out...... Just walk around...... Walk ......."

The guard threw Li Daniu to the ground, glanced at him, and snorted coldly: "I think the young master's death has nothing to do with you!" You wait, my lord will not be able to spare you! ”

Li Daniu quickly got up from the ground and waved his hand at the guard: "I didn't!" It's really not me! I really didn't kill anyone! ”

Then he looked at the few people surrounding Wang Tianci's corpse, and explained with an anxious face: "I really didn't kill anyone!" You have to trust me......"

Several people turned their faces to the side, and they didn't know if they disdained to listen to Li Daniu's pale explanation, or for some other reason.

The round-faced guard looked at the slightly chubby guard, his eyes full of helplessness: "Chief Guard, what should we do now?" ”

The chief guard pondered for a moment, and then looked at the short guard: "Wei Xi, you go and inform the old lady, just say that the young master has an accident in the lotus pond." Let's not say that the young master has been killed. ”

Wei Xi hugged his fists at the chief guard: "Chief guard, I'll go now!" ”

The words fell, and he got up and hurried away.

When passing by Xie Jinlan and the others, he glanced at the two of them, but he didn't pay much attention to them, and hurriedly passed by.

Seeing that the dark-faced guard still wanted to beat Li Daniu violently, the head of the guard stopped him in time: "Forestry!" ”

Forestry was about to fall on Li Daniu's face with a fist. Immediately, he retracted his fist and got up with hatred, looked at the chief of the guard with anger on his face, and said in a loud voice: "The chief of the guard! Why didn't you let me beat him? ”

The chief of the guard looked at Forestry with disapproval: "Forestry, collect your temper." Before the matter is clear, it is not right for you to hit someone! What would happen to you if you wounded or maimed someone? ”

Forestry said: "This person sneakily appeared here in the middle of the night, there must be a problem!" ”

The chief of the guard glanced at Li Daniu, who was so frightened that he was sitting on the ground and had not yet come back to his senses, then got up and walked to Linlin, looking at him with a serious face:

"Look at his timid appearance, does he look like the kind of person who dares to kill the young master? What's more, don't forget, he was the one who called for help before! Forestry, use your brains to do things in the future! Otherwise, sooner or later you will have to suffer a big loss! ”

Forestry suddenly turned red, and he didn't know how to refute.

In the end, he glared at Li Daniu fiercely, turned his face away and said no more.

The head of the guard shook his head helplessly, and with a casual glance, he saw Xie Jinlan and the others standing under the big tree not far away, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Remembering the master and the servant I met at the entrance of the garden earlier, it must have been these two people.

After slowing down his thoughts, the chief of the guard said loudly to Xie Jinlan: "This son is a distinguished guest invited by our master?" What is the so-called coming to the garden at this time? ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head lightly in his heart: It's a pity that he can't watch quietly.

Then he came to the lotus pond with Mo Yan, and looked at the guard chief with a gentle face:

"The distinguished guest can't talk about it, but thanks to the king's appearance, he got an invitation to the birthday banquet. As for why you came here......

Xie Jinlan smiled and continued: "I just felt that the banquet was quite noisy, so I wanted to come out and take a walk." The scenery of the garden of the little maid who welcomed me into the house was good, so I took the little maid here to enjoy it. It's just that I never thought ......."

Xie Jinlan said, shaking his head very regretfully, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Wang Tianci, who was already breathless: "I never thought that I would witness such a thing with my own eyes!" ”

A trace of suspicion flashed in the guard chief's eyes, but he asked quietly on his face: "I wonder if Childe can tell Childe who is the name of the little guy here who mentioned it?" ”
