Lu Zhukuai really didn't want to believe that Ying's death could be related to Zhang Qianglin and his wife. Therefore, he took the initiative to ask Xie Jinlan to investigate their movements that day.

Xie Jinlan didn't object, but after taking a deep look at him, he waved him away.

It wasn't until Lu Zhukuai's back disappeared around the corner that Chen Qing retracted his gaze and looked at Xie Jinlan with some puzzlement:

"Your Excellency really trusts Lu Zhukuai's personality, and thinks that he will definitely enforce the law? Or is there another purpose? ”

The corners of Xie Jinlan's mouth hooked slightly:

"It's both. This official has investigated Lu Catcher's person, and he is a rare good catcher in Xinlin County. If Zhang Qianglin and his wife have anything to do with this case, the official believes that he will not cover it up.

Of course, if he really betrays the trust of his officials, then it will be regarded as a plan to 'lure the snake out of the hole'. ”

Chen Qing and Ruan Yezhen pondered for a while, and then they understood the meaning of Xie Jinlan's words.

The questions they wanted to know had already been answered, and Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen quickly said goodbye to Chen Qing.

As soon as the two of them got out of prison, they met Jiang Yingyu and Steward Yan at the gate.

As soon as Jiang Yingyu saw Xie Jinlan, he hurriedly greeted him with Steward Yan.

Xie Jinlan's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration very quickly, but his face was silent, waiting for the two to approach.

Jiang Yingyu had just the right amount of flattery on his face: "Lord Xie, about the suspect Chen Qing in prison, the lower official has something to say, I wonder if you can move to the study?" ”

Xie Jinlan raised his hand and made a gesture of please: "Please ask Master Jiang to lead the way." ”

Jiang Yingyu breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, and after secretly exchanging glances with Steward Yan, he took Xie Jinlan and the others to the study.

Looking at Jiang Yingyu's fat figure in front of her, Ruan Yezhen frowned slightly, and quietly pulled the corner of Xie Jinlan's clothes.

After meeting Xie Jinlan's gaze, she quickly made a look.

Since they met, the two have become more and more tacit.

The moment they looked at each other, Xie Jinlan understood the meaning in Ruan Yezhen's eyes. Through the cover of his sleeve, he gently squeezed her little hand to reassure her.

For Xie Jinlan, Ruan Yezhen always trusts.

Therefore, even if she didn't know what Xie Jinlan's plan was, after getting his reply, she couldn't help but settle down.

After arriving at the study, Jiang Yingyu waved his hand to let Steward Yan go down.

Glancing at Ruan Yezhen beside Xie Jinlan, Jiang Yingyu smiled and said, "Lord Xie, what the lower official is about to say is not enough for outsiders. ”

Xie Jinlan understood what he meant, but said: "Zhen Ye is not an outsider, Lord Jiang has something to say, please speak up." ”

has been an official for many years, and Jiang Yingyu's ability to observe words and emotions has reached the point of perfection. He could see that although Xie Jinlan had a faint smile on his face at this moment, he would not allow others to refute his current decision.

Jiang Yingyu glanced at Ruan Yezhen thoughtfully, and then said, "Since Master Xie said so, then the lower official will get straight to the point." ”

After a pause, seeing that Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen did not have the slightest curiosity on their faces, he continued:

"Since he knew that Chen Qing Chen Gongzi and Master Xie were old acquaintances, the lower officials instructed the jailers not to slack off. But in prison, it's always unpleasant. As long as the adults speak, the lower officials can find a reason today and let Chen Gongzi be released from prison openly. I don't know what adults think? ”

Xie Jinlan said lightly: "This official believes in Chen Qing's character, and he will definitely not do such a hurtful thing." Don't worry about Lord Jiang. ”

Seeing that Xie Jinlan had a little uncertainty on his face, Jiang Yingyu hurriedly said:

Xia Guan also believes that if he can be good friends with Master Xie, Chen Gongzi will definitely be a good person. Xia Guan also saw that the adults were tired of running around for Chen Gongzi in the past few days, and he sighed in his heart, so he said this. If the lord is unwilling, the current official has never said this. ”

Xie Jinlan's face softened a little, and he said tentatively: "If the official agrees, what is Master Jiang going to do?" ”

Jiang Yingyu noticed the bit of intention in Xie Jinlan's words, and immediately said: "This matter is simple. If you want to prove Chen Gongzi's innocence, as long as Chen Gongzi has an alibi. ”

Xie Jinlan's eyes flashed slightly, and his face was impassive:

"Oh? Chen Qing was taken away from Sun Er's house by the official messenger in full view of everyone. What he looked like, everyone could see clearly. Master Jiang can really clear his suspicions. ”

Jiang Yingyu said: "Xiaguan, the county magistrate of Xinlin County, has been the county magistrate for more than ten years. There are still some connections here. As long as someone proves that Chen Gongzi entered the gate a quarter of an hour before he was seen by Sun Er, the people will naturally believe in his innocence. ”

Ruan Yezhen suddenly interjected: "Wouldn't the people suspect that person was an accomplice? ”

Jiang Yingyu glanced at Ruan Yezhen, and a little displeasure flashed in his eyes. Seeing that Xie Jinlan looked accustomed to it, he explained to Ruan Yezhen with a smile:

"Although this official has not read many books, he also knows the truth of 'three people become tigers'. If only one person testifies, there will not be many believers. What if three, or more, unrelated people testify on behalf of Chen Gongzi? ”

Ruan Yezhen was stunned for an instant, and then lowered her eyes slightly, covering the emotions in her eyes.

Jiang Yingyu didn't care what she thought, and looked at Xie Jinlan again: "I don't know what Lord Xie thinks?" ”

'Bang Bang! ’

Xie Jinlan clapped his hands lightly and said meaningfully: "Master Jiang's method is really wonderful!" ”

Just when Jiang Yingyu was furious by his eyes, Xie Jinlan's eyes changed and he smiled: "If it can be like this, it will naturally be excellent." It's just that won't it be too troublesome for Master Jiang? ”

Jiang Yingyu's heart was relieved, and he said: "It is an honor for the lower officials to serve Lord Xie!" How can this be called a nuisance? Rest assured, as long as there is the consent of the adults, the lower officials will naturally handle this matter properly. ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly: "In this way, then there is Master Lao Jiang." ”

Jiang Yingyu waved his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

Immediately, a little embarrassment appeared on his face: "It's just that this matter still needs the cooperation of Chen Gongzi." If Chen Gongzi doesn't believe in Xiaguan...... I don't know if the adult has any token that can make Chen Gongzi believe that the lower official is doing things for the adult? ”

Xie Jinlan's eyes quickly flashed a ray of ghostly light, and then smiled and took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it in the direction of Jiang Yingyu: "This is something that this official wears all year round, Chen Qing must know it." ”

Jiang Yingyu's face was suddenly overjoyed, and after taking it respectfully, he said, "Xiaguan will definitely not live up to the trust of adults!" ”

......

After leaving the county office, Ruan Yezhen frowned slightly and looked at Xie Jinlan beside her:

"You deliberately handed over the jade pendant you were wearing to Jiang Yingyu, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? Don't say you didn't think he would do anything bad in your name. ”
