Could it be that she is too stupid?

It's just that as soon as this idea came to mind, she was immediately rejected by Ruan Yezhen: it must be because she had never been exposed to this kind of thing when she was in Beijing, so she was a little rusty......

Until nightfall, Ruan Yezhen had to return to the lotus pond, and she still couldn't hear anything new about the case from Xie Jinlan's mouth.

For the next half a month, Ruan Yezhen took turns staying at the suspects and Mrs. Wang's place for several hours during the day. At night, I keep an eye out for movement near the lotus pond.

It's just that she hasn't been able to find anything unusual from a few people. I also no longer heard about the topic of five years ago from Mrs. Wang Lin Zirou.

After nightfall, the lotus pond has not been visited by anyone these days, and it is very quiet.

As for the impure Lin Xue'er, after jumping into the lotus pond that day, she contracted the wind cold and stopped being a demon.

Wang Tianci's case has been stagnant ever since.

On this day, Ruan Yezhen had just arrived at Qingfeng Courtyard, and before she entered the courtyard, she heard a slightly threatening word from Wang Yuanwai:

"Master Xie, my son has been dead for so long, don't you have even a clue about the murderer until now?

At the beginning, the case of Li Baoer in Lijia Village, you can solve it in less than ten days! Don't you think that my son died innocently and deliberately let the murderer go unpunished?

My lord, the grass people advise you to think twice. The grass people have some friendship with the prefect, and if you don't want to pursue this case anymore, the grass people can only ask the prefect for help. ”

When Ruan Yezhen heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart, and hurriedly floated into the courtyard.

But seeing Xie Jinlan and Wang Yuanwai standing opposite each other, Mo Yan's head hung slightly, and he stood not far behind Xie Jinlan with his eyes and nose.

In the face of Wang Yuanwai's seemingly true and false intimidation, Xie Jinlan was not half timid, and said with a light smile:

"Wang Yuanwai is too worried, and this official doesn't have that kind of thought. However, if the king can invite the prefect to help, it will naturally be the best. ”

In the end, Wang Yuanwai just dropped a sentence: "Please thank Lord Xie for doing it yourself!" He left Qingfeng Courtyard with a full body of anger.

Seeing Wang Yuanwai's figure disappear in front of him, Mo Yan took a step forward and said with a smile:

"My lord, if this prince knows that your father is the head of the imperial merchants in the capital one day, and remembers that he once threatened you with the prefect of Wuzhou, I don't know if he will regret it."

Lin'an County is subordinate to Wuzhou, and Xie Jinlan, the county order of Lin'an County, is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Wuzhou prefect.

Ruan Yezhen was stunned when she heard this, the name of Xie Wenyan, the head of the imperial merchants, had also heard of it when she was in Beijing.

The silk and satin, jewelry, and rouge gouache used by the masters of the palace are all from the Xie family.

Although the status of the merchant is at the bottom. But if a businessman can do what Xie Wenyan does, many officials will not dare to offend him.

Suddenly, Ruan Yezhen felt that her previous worries were simply unfounded.

Xie Jinlan smiled and tapped Mo Yan's head: "You are not allowed to reveal my father's identity." ”

Mo Yan smiled and responded: "Mo Yan knows, you don't like outsiders to get close to you in order to get in touch with the master." ”

Xie Jinlan's gaze moved slightly, and when he saw Ruan Yezhen who was a little dazed not far away, he couldn't help but pause slightly.

Immediately, he patted Mo Yan's shoulder and said, "Let's go and prepare lunch, this official is a little hungry." ”

Mo Yan retreated.

Walking up to Ruan Yezhen, Xie Jinlan chuckled lightly and said, "Miss Ruan, what's wrong?" Aren't you scared by my identity? ”

Ruan Yezhen suddenly came back to her senses and glared at Xie Jinlan fiercely: "Your father is Xie Wenyan, the head of the imperial merchants, why didn't you say this earlier?" ”

Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows: "You haven't asked me about it." ”

When Ruan Yezhen opened his mouth to speak, he said again: "Besides, haven't you ever talked about it, you are the county lord of Jiahe?" ”

When Ruan Yezhen heard this, she was immediately surprised: "How do you know my identity?" ”

Xie Jinlan said:

"It's not hard to guess. Nowadays, all states and counties have pasted the royal list about the unawake lord of Jiahe County.

The father of the lord of Jiahe County is Nguyen An, the general of the town country. You are also surnamed Ruan, and your age is similar to that of the lord of Jiahe County.

I remember you saying that you became like this in your sleep. When many coincidences add up, then it will not be a coincidence. ”

After a pause, he looked at the woman in front of him with a smile: "So, what else does Miss Ruan have to say?" ”

Ruan Yezhen suddenly felt a little deflated: "I have nothing to say. In this way, we are even. ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly, agreeing with her words. Then he asked, "Miss Ruan came to our hospital today, but what did she gain?" ”

Ruan Yezhen said angrily: "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Could it be that before the case is solved, I have to keep an eye on those people and not be able to rest? ”

Xie Jinlan touched his nose, and felt a little more guilty in his heart: "Naturally, there is no such statement." ”

Ruan Yezhen snorted lightly, and turned her head arrogantly to ignore the man in front of her.

Xie Jinlan shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

At this moment, an orderly pace approached here.

Xie Jinlan was already very familiar with Mo Yan's footsteps, so before he saw the comer, he already knew who it was.

As Xie Jinlan expected, the next moment, Mo Yan's figure appeared in the courtyard.

I saw him bow to Xie Jinlan: "My lord, Master Chen asks to see you!" ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Please let him in." Then he went to the stone table and sat down.

Ruan Yezhen on the side guessed that most of the cases had made new progress, and Master Chen would come to the Yuanwaifu to ask to see Xie Jinlan.

Suddenly, she couldn't care that she was angry with Xie Jinlan.

A moment later, Chen Zhushu and Mo Yan walked to the courtyard.

Mo Yan saluted Xie Jinlan: "My lord, Master Chen brought it." Then he turned sideways slightly, revealing the figure of Master Chen behind him.

Master Chen took a step forward, and then bowed: "Xiaguan has seen an adult!" ”

After letting the two of them get up, Mo Yan bowed down and continued to prepare Xie Jinlan's lunch.

After Master Chen sat down beside him, Xie Jinlan asked with a smile: "Master Chen came this time, but the things that the official asked you to check have results?" ”

Master Chen nodded, but quickly shook his head again, a little annoyance flashed on his face:

"The lower officials were incompetent, and they couldn't find out what Lin Zirou helped Wang Tianci five years ago, and why did the two have a conflict later.

Xia Guan only found out an old incident from Wang Yuanwaifu five years ago. As for Yang Yuanwai and Aunt Zhen, they don't seem to have much to do with this case. Xia Guan felt that he had done useless work these days. ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Whether it is useless or not, this needs to be decided by this official." Tell me, what did you find? ”
