Ji Bangyue sighed lowly, patted her shoulder gently, comforted her silently, and said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy behind Lord Bai's case, at the time of the case, there was no sign at all, and the people behind it would not show their feet so easily." You don't have to rush. ”

After that, he looked at the skeleton on the ground again, and said, "This is Lin Zhifan's corpse?" ”

Bai Hanyan touched the tears on his cheeks, nodded, condensed his expression, and said in a deep voice: "It was Liu Suifeng who told me where the body was buried." ”

"But what did you find on it, and found out the cause of Lin Zhifan's death?" Ji Bangyue squatted down and carefully measured the corpse, and gradually frowned.

"It's a pity, the corpse is old and the flesh is rotten, I can't find out the cause of death on this skeleton, according to Liu Suifeng, Lin Zhifan died after he came out of the deep alley that day, I made all kinds of assumptions but none of them can be established."

Ji Wanyue looked back and smiled at him, and said softly: "Don't worry, Yan'er, although the truth is buried deeply, you can always find it, you have to believe in yourself." ”

"Brother Ji, can you tell me what happened five years ago?" Bai Hanyan raised his head, his eyes sparkled, he raised his eyes and asked, Ji Bangyue was in it five years ago and was also involved, maybe he would know something she didn't know.

Ji Bangyue slowly raised her eyes, her eyes gradually emptied, and she recalled carefully:

"Five years ago, your father's embezzlement case spread almost suddenly, and for a moment people were dumbfounded, and I didn't know where the trouble was, and I was also shocked when I heard it, and I remembered my prayer when he came to look for me before, and I knew that there must be something strange in this, so I asked Your Majesty for an order to arrest your father, and maybe I could protect his life when I arrived in Jinyiwei. But who knows, when I went to the Jinluan Palace to ask for my life, I found that it was already a step too late, and Lin Zhifan, the Jinyi Guard, had already asked for orders to arrest him. Moreover, he seems to have known about your father's embezzlement case in advance, and he was prepared for it early. I saw that things were not good, so I arranged for a few of my subordinates to go with me, but what I didn't expect was that when I arrived at Baifu, Lin Zhifan entered the lobby alone, and after a long time, when those people heard the sound and broke into Baifutang, your father was already dead. According to Lin Zhifan's explanation, when Lord Bai saw that the matter was exposed, he didn't want to face the saint and was unwilling to be humiliated, so he snatched the tiger head knife from his waist and committed suicide with the knife. ”

"Impossible!" Bai Hanyan's eyes were gloomy when he heard this, and his anger had risen, and he scolded in a low voice: "My father can't have committed suicide, after the incident, I once returned to the lobby of my house, the knife marks on the pillar of the hall are three points into the wood, my father is already old, not to mention that he can't beat Lin Zhifan at all, even if he takes the knife and commits suicide, it is impossible to leave such a deep knife mark on the pillar, my father does not have such deep wrist strength at all, it must be Lin Zhifan, it is him, it is he who killed my father and killed his mouth!" ”

Ji Bangyue's face was also heavy when she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and thought about it, and he said in a low voice:

"The twists and turns in this are probably very related to the missing tens of millions of tax silver, I'm afraid it is, it's not so easy to find out, and Lin Zhifan is an extremely smart person, knowing that after Lord Bai dies, he himself will definitely be wiped out, so the road was paved in advance, her wife and children all disappeared after Lin Zhifan's death, I have sent someone to check, there is no clue."

"It's smart indeed." Bai Hanyan set his eyes on the corpse, but how did such a smart person die and be killed, and who could be the person hiding behind him?

"Brother Ji, you have been an official in the court for many years, and you have a lot of intersections with hundreds of civil and military officials, do you know what kind of person Wang Xin is?" Bai Hanyan narrowed his eyes, thinking of that Wang Xin, he only felt that the people's hearts were really unguessable, how could there be such a big gap between people before and after.

"Him?" Ji Wanyue frowned and asked, "Why did Yan'er think of asking him?"

"I'm just curious to ask, and I can't understand his words and actions."

"Wang Xin, he has always been an unsociable person, with an upright temperament, and, back then, he was very close to your father. Yan'er, some things can't just look at the surface, officialdom is like a battlefield, everyone will wear many masks, which one is true and which side is fake, it depends on how you think about it. Ji Bangyue stood two meters away in front of her, her dark eyes as silent as a deep pool, and said to her softly.

"I know, Brother Ji." Bai Hanyan nodded, her eyes involuntarily fell on Lin Zhifan's bones, she raised her legs and walked to the corpse, this Sen Sen's white bones are Lin Zhifan's last evidence left in this world, Bai Hanyan can't find a clue from it.

"Brother Ji, I want to try." Bai Hanyan suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were rippling, and his eyes were full of stubbornness.

"Okay." Ji Bangyue looked at her with a smile, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

"Brother Ji, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Bai Hanyan pursed her lips and made a request to him.

"What's the help, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." The corners of Ji Bangyue's mouth, which was already slightly curled, hooked even the cold and quiet phoenix eyes, and the slightly upturned eyes brought out two points of tenderness, and the heartbeat of the person who looked directly was like a drum.

Bai Hanyan was trembling by his eyes, and immediately looked away, twisted his fingers, and slowly said for a long time: "I want to ask Brother Ji to invite several people in the small building that day out, and I will conduct an autopsy in front of all of them." ”

"You're trying to see how these people react." Ji Wanyue frowned.

Bai Hanyan nodded slowly: "I always believe that no one is perfect, even if his psychological disguise is perfect, if he sees Lin Zhifan's corpse, I don't believe that he will not show any flaws." ”

Ji Bangyue glanced at her in admiration, and smiled lightly: "Okay, I will arrange this matter." ”

Bai Hanyan raised his eyes to look at him, and also pursed his lips and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Ji." ”

Ji Bangyue looked at the newborn sun above her head, and sighed: "Yan'er, I'm leaving, the matter of the thief hasn't been solved yet, I'm afraid he will show up today." ”

Bai Hanyan's body stiffened, the thief was arranged by Duan Changge for Liu Suifeng, but she couldn't say it, guilt welled up in her heart, she lowered her eyes and said, "Brother Ji, your injury is not healed yet,......

Ji Bangyue leaned over and approached her slightly, winked at her, and gently teased: "Yan'er is worried about me?" ”

Bai Hanyan was startled by his suddenly approaching face, and involuntarily took a step back, and then his face was slightly red, not knowing how to speak, but Ji Wanyue smiled and laughed a few times, and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange for these people to meet in Jinyiwei tomorrow." ”

"Jin Yiwei?" Bai Hanyan was taken aback, she didn't expect Ji Bangyue to invite these people to Jinyiwei, so, not to show his position in public, and to pull herself into this deep pool,

Bai Hanyan was a little anxious, and said, "Brother Ji, it's no good to get too close to me, there are many pairs of eyes staring at me in the dark, I don't want to take you off the water." ”

"What if I say I'm willing." Ji Bangyue's eyes had a touch of tenderness, and she looked at her directly, Bai Hanyan could see the affection in his eyes in a fool's eyes, but she really couldn't ...... with him

"Brother Ji, I ......" Bai Hanyan's hands were twisted together, her knuckles were white, how could she refuse him.

"Yan'er, do you know how your father asked me to protect you?" Ji Bangyue gently put her hands on her shoulders, suddenly straightened her expression, and looked straight into her pair of phoenix eyes

Bai Hanyan was taken aback by his words, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, he shook his head and said, "How to ......"

"Lord Bai, he has promised you to me."

At night, Bai Hanyan tossed and turned on the bed, and it was difficult to fall asleep for a while, and he felt that his brain was very chaotic after tossing and turning, so he simply got up, walked in his clothes, and walked to the courtyard.

On a cold summer night, a crescent moon Chanjuan quietly surrounded Qinghui in the black velvet night, Bai Hanyan raised her head slightly, and sighed faintly, she didn't expect that her father would promise her to Ji Bangyue, perhaps, her father wanted him to give him a harbor to rely on, in this chaos like a deep pool, a backer who could cling to live.

It's a pity that her father's good intentions, she may not be able to accept it, her heart has long been lost in a man, and she can never get it back.

"You don't sleep, but you're thinking about him?"

Duan Changge's sudden appearance made Bai Hanyan's body stiffen, she raised her head to look, but saw him slowly walking out in the night, under the hazy moonlight, only to see a touch of crimson robes, like a red lotus demon blooming.

Bai Hanyan felt his approach, but her heart was beating faster and faster with his footsteps, she took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the strangeness in her heart, the look on her face was faint, she leaned over him slightly, and said in a strange and alienated tone: "Xiaguan participates in Lord Duan." ”

"Xiaguan? Heh" Duan Changge provoked a mocking smile, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were undisguised mockery: "It seems that you have found a good home, Han Yan, your methods really impress me."

The words in Duan Changge's mouth were like knives, cutting at her heart, Bai Hanyan turned his eyes away from looking at him, and smiled faintly: "It's good that Lord Duan is happy, whatever you say." ”

Duan Changge suddenly approached her, lifted her collar, and the anger in his eyes seemed to tear her apart: "What did Ji Bangyue give you, I can't help but let you be in the same room last night, and I want you to miss you like this." ”

Bai Hanyan stared at him, his eyes were full of pain: "Master Duan, Brother Ji and I are both men, why can't we be in the same room?" ”

Duan Changge's eyes instantly ignited with rage because of her words, and his violent black eyes flashed with a beast-like fierce light, and he couldn't wait to tear her apart: "What do you call him, Brother Ji?" ”
