This competition ended with Cheng Sheng sweeping Fang Weining to the ground.

Regarding Fang Weining's defeat, everyone in the audience couldn't help but be a little surprised.

But Fang Weining himself didn't care, and lay on the ground very casually, gasping for breath.

After a while, I saw him jump up from the ground with a kick of his legs, laughed and patted Cheng Sheng's shoulder: "Cheng Sheng, if it weren't for today's discussion, I thought that in this foreign mansion, my kung fu would be unmatched." ”

Cheng Sheng's expression did not change: "The chief of the guard has won the award." ”

Fang Weining glanced at the position of the sun, and then said to the people below: "It's time to patrol, or are you generally divided into three groups like yesterday, do you have any opinions?" ”

Everyone said in unison: "No! ”

Fang Weining nodded with satisfaction, patted Cheng Sheng's shoulder again, and then jumped off the competition platform.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Sheng also jumped off the competition platform from the other side.

Among the guards in the Yuanwai Mansion, except for Fang Weining, Cheng Sheng's qualifications are the oldest.

Cheng Sheng didn't smile all day long, causing these guards to dare not laugh casually in front of him.

It's like when patrolling now, no one dares to ask even though the other party is full of curiosity about the competition.

Following Cheng Sheng for more than an hour, Ruan Yezhen felt extremely bored.

If she hadn't heard him speak earlier at the jousting platform, she would have thought that this man was dumb.

Looking at his face again, for such a long time, his expression has not changed in the slightest, and his eyes are calm and waveless. She couldn't tell anything from his face.

Thinking of Master Chen's suspicion of this person, Ruan Yezhen felt that this kind of person who made people feel incomprehensible was particularly suspicious.

finally waited until the patrol came to an end and Cheng Sheng was alone, Ruan Yezhen instantly cheered up.

I saw him take out a gray handkerchief from his arms, and after carefully opening it, an emerald green droplet-shaped earring lay quietly on it.

Ruan Yezhen's eyes suddenly widened: Didn't you say that this Cheng Sheng was alone? So why does he have a woman's ornament?

Looking carefully, his eyes were a little wavering, like joy and sorrow, Ruan Yezhen really couldn't understand it.

Cheng Sheng looked at the earrings quietly for a moment, then sighed softly, put away the earrings and put them back in his arms, and at the same time, he restrained some of his exposed emotions.

Although Ruan Yezhen couldn't understand his somewhat complicated expression, she could feel a little heavy breath from him. I couldn't help but have a bad guess in my heart: could the earrings be a relic of the woman he loved......

It was almost noon, when Ruan Yezhen was worrying about how to get to the other suspects, Mo Yan's figure passed by not far from her.

She couldn't help but light up her eyes: God helped her!

Then he floated directly to Mo Yan's side.

"Why did my lord let me find where Cheng Sheng was first, and then look for the trace of Zhang Xiaoliu? Would it help me to take a closer look at these suspects? ”

Mo Yan's incomprehensible muttering made Ruan Yezhen understand that it was not a coincidence that she saw Mo Yan.

Wang Tianci died too suddenly, and Mrs. Wang was so shocked that she was sick in bed and had no time to take care of it. Therefore, no one in his courtyard has arranged so far, and the housekeepers and grandmothers in the courtyard can only arrange everyone to do some work at will.

As soon as Wang Tianci died, no one went to embarrass Zhang Xiaoliu anymore. No one dared to rely on Wang Tianci's power to embarrass her for anything. Zhang Xiaoliu was much more relaxed because of this, and was arranged by the housekeepers to do what she should do as a second-class girl.

Zhang Xiaoliu is very quiet and self-conscious on weekdays, and he does things in an orderly manner. If the people around her encounter any difficulties, she will also help if they can help. Therefore, in the Yuanwai Mansion, her popularity is very good. Even the masters above, most of them like her.

After two hours, Ruan Yezhen found that this Xiaoliu was indeed a duty. She didn't rely on her second-class status to instruct those girls with lower status than her to do this and that.

At the same time, her brain is also bright, and she can quickly give effective solutions to problems that others don't know how to solve.

It's just that what makes Ruan Yezhen distressed is that apart from these, she didn't find anything wrong with Zhang Xiaoliu.....

Early the next morning, Ruan Yezhen waited for a while, but did not see half a figure. Simply floated out of the garden with a 'swoop'.

Drifted past the verandah, but stopped at the fork in the road ahead. She looked left and right, still frowning slightly, wondering which direction was the right one.

At this moment, a figure in a blue-purple brocade dress caught her eye, which made her eyes light up: "Xie Jinlan, it's so good to see you." I thought you forgot to ask your little servant Moyan to show me the way. ”

Xie Jinlan paused slightly, and said to Mo Yan behind him: "Go and call Master Chen to come to the lotus pond to reply." ”

After Mo Yan left, he turned around, and then continued to walk forward. When he passed by Ruan Yezhen's side, he didn't pause, just glanced at her casually.

Entering the garden and walking to the wooden bridge across the lotus pond, Xie Jinlan sat on the guardrail casually, and saw that there was no one around, so he turned to look at Ruan Yezhen: "What did you gain yesterday?" ”

Ruan Yezhen said: "I have it. Then he told what he saw and heard yesterday at Cheng Sheng and Zhang Xiaoliu.

When Xie Jinlan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and pondered.

Ruan Yezhen didn't urge, and stayed quietly aside.

After a while, Xie Jinlan looked at Ruan Yezhen: "Later, I will ask Mo Yan to take you to Huang Rui'er's place." ”

Ruan Yezhen bowed slightly, and then asked, "According to what you can see, among these four people, who is the most suspicious?" ”

Xie Jinlan said: "According to the clues known so far, the escort Cheng Sheng is the most likely person to commit the crime. ”

Ruan Yezhen's face was happy: it was the same as she guessed!

Just the next moment, Xie Jinlan continued: "However, this case is obviously premeditated. In this case, will the murderer still put himself in such a disadvantageous situation? ”

Ruan Yezhen was stunned: "So you mean to say that the person who is the least like the murderer is the most likely to be the murderer?" ”

The corners of Xie Jinlan's mouth hooked slightly: "It's not too stupid." ”

Ruan Yezhen glared at him fiercely when she heard this: "I'm talking to you about serious things, why do you call me stupid?" ”

Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows lightly, and retorted righteously: "I'm obviously praising you." ”

Ruan Yezhen was not angry: "So, I have to thank you?" ”

Xie Jinlan accepted it as a matter of course: "Miss Ruan doesn't have to be so polite. ”

Ruan Yezhen puffed up her mouth and was about to say something, but she heard a sound of footsteps behind her, and she couldn't help but follow the reputation.

I saw Mo Yan and Chen Zhushu walking here.

The two of them walked to Xie Jinlan and bowed: "I've seen my lord!" ”
