"Mother, there is indeed a letter here." As soon as Cui'er came back from outside the palace and packed up her things, she found a letter inside, and hurriedly handed it to Ruan Shunhua.

Every other month, many concubines in the palace send palace maids or eunuchs out of the palace to buy some things and come back. If Linlang wants to contact them, this is the best way. Every time Yi Cui'er arrived at a shop, she would park the carriage at the door for a long time, deliberately giving others enough time.

Ruan Shunhua took the letter and said, "Have you seen who it is?" ”

Cui'er said, "The slave learned from the experience of the last time, and did not guard the carriage too strictly, and there were too many people passing by the carriage, so I don't know who put the letter on it." However, the slave maid was sure that it was definitely not Linlang herself, because the slave and maid still paid special attention to those who walked by the side of the carriage. ”

Ruan Shunhua said, "She won't be so stupid and run out to do this by herself." But since she couldn't hold back and sent the letter in, we wouldn't be able to find her. ”

Ruan Shunhua opened the letter as she spoke, and the contents of the letter were as she expected, but it was still a place and something to bring. But she looked at it, and it seemed that there was a lot more to it than the last time.

"Mother, what are we going to do?"

Ruan Shunhua said, "Just do as he says, go to the designated place, and bring things over." But this time, don't take anyone with you. She probably knows some of our people, and it's easy to expose. In this way, Bengong immediately writes a letter, and you send the letter to Shen Lian, and the matter will be entrusted to him to cooperate with you. ”

"The mother is wise. Even if Linlang saw Shen Lian, she would not be suspicious. ”

"By the way, when you go to him, you must also tell him about the conversation between the palace and the emperor a few days ago, so that he knows that the palace has said good things for him, and the emperor is willing to see him and listen to his explanation. This gives him hope, and he will feel at ease to do things for the palace. ”

"Yes, the slaves and maids have written it down."

Three days later, Cui'er left the palace with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. Shen Lian brought someone early and was already guarding the address that Cui'er had told him. This time, the place chosen by Linlang is still a lively restaurant.

Cui'er waited from morning to noon with her things, and no one came. Cui'er thought that Linlang must be as cautious as last time, and must be observing in secret. It's a pity that this time, she can't find any traces of her people.

In the afternoon, in the private room where Cui'er was, two little beggars suddenly came, "Are you here to deliver something?" A beggar asked directly.

Cui'er said, "Yes, indeed." ”

The beggar replied, "Then carry the things down." There's a carriage waiting down there. ”

Cui'er said, "Who asked you to come, and who let you come?" ”

The beggar replied, "The man gave us the money, and told us to fetch it, put it on our horses, and deliver it to the address she gave us." We don't know anything else. But she told us to bring you a message so that you don't ask too much and don't try to keep up. Otherwise, this time, it won't be as simple as she doesn't take things, and she will definitely tell the above some things. ”

Cui'er could hear the threat in Linlang's words. Indeed, this time, she could not take the risk of following the same as she had last time. Otherwise, it will be a nullity. Fortunately, there is Shen Lian this time. Shen Lian can be regarded as having a head and face in the imperial capital, if he pretends to be careless and happens to be on the same road as this carriage, no one will doubt it.

Thinking of this, Cui'er instructed the two people beside her, "Carry the things down." ”

The boxes were lifted onto a carriage.

The two little beggars immediately drove away in their carriages.

Cui'er stood at the door of the restaurant, and Yu Guang saw that Shen Lian had also gotten into the carriage and followed the carriage. When Shen Lian passed by him, Cui'er nodded slightly at him and exchanged glances.

After Shen Lian's carriage followed the little beggar's carriage twice, Shen Lian felt that something was wrong. Seeing that the carriage was running according to the original route again, Shen Lian stopped his carriage.

"Master, don't chase it? What if I lose it? The men asked puzzled.

"Can't you see that they're deliberately taking a detour? I'm very familiar with this area of the imperial capital. I believe their destination is in the process of detouring, and if we calculate how long their carriage has not appeared, I can guess the approximate time. Let's wait here, we don't have to startle the snake. Shen Lian calmly analyzed, and the corners of his mouth raised some confident smiles.

"Yes."

Shen Lian calculated the time, he should have heard the sound of horses' hooves and saw the trace of the carriage, but he didn't come.

"It should be down that street, let's look for them one by one."

"Yes."

Shen Lian led people to search carefully, but there was no trace of the carriage. Shen Lian got out of the carriage and looked around, could it be that his estimate was wrong? No way, they didn't arouse the slightest suspicion today, the man must have not noticed them.

Just as he was thinking about it, a sedan chair suddenly passed next to him. It is not surprising that four men carry a sedan chair.

Just as Shen Lian turned his head to look away, he suddenly saw one of the palanquin bearers wearing a pair of ragged straw sandals. He wrinkled his eyebrows and thought about it, the two people who had just carried the boxes into the carriage were beggars, weren't they wearing shoes like this?

"Just in that sedan chair, stop them." Shen Lian immediately shouted.

The four sedan chair drivers heard Shen Lian's voice and saw that someone was running towards them, so they immediately sped up and ran forward with the sedan chair. Helplessly, it was very difficult to do this, and the people led by Shen Lian were all strong and strong, and they had martial arts.

"Help me stop them, and I'll give you a gold ingot for each of you." A female voice came from the palanquin.

The four men stopped the sedan chair and hurried to stop the comer. The person in the sedan chair was wearing a veil and holding a small box in his hand, and he hurried forward when he took the opportunity.

Those four people were not Shen Lian's opponents, but the masked woman bought some time and let her run farther away.

It was important to catch that person, so Shen Lian went to chase the masked woman first.

It doesn't matter who that person is, anyway, what Ruan Shunhua means is that you can see the corpse if you die. So Shen Lian took out a dagger from his sleeve and followed behind the masked woman.

The woman was holding a box, and it was a woman, so she was not as fast as Shen Lian at all. It didn't take long for Shen Lian to catch up with her, and without saying a word, he waved his dagger and was about to stab at her.

The masked woman raised her arm in a panic to block it, and the dagger stabbed into her arm, and she screamed in pain, but immediately staggered and ran forward.

I finally ran to a street, but it was already afternoon, and there were not many people on the street. The masked woman stumbled a little as she ran with the box, seeing that Shen Lian was about to catch up again. The masked woman looked at the wound on her arm, gritted her teeth, opened the box in her hand and threw it into the air. The gold, silver, and jewels in the chest were scattered all over the ground, and many people in the streets immediately looted them. In this way, it directly blocked Shen Lian's going. When Shen Lian pushed aside the crowd to chase her, she had already run a little far. At this time, Shen Lian's other subordinates had already solved the four sedan chair men and followed.

"Chase, you must kill her." Shen Lian said viciously to the subordinates beside him.

And at this moment, Jiang Wan was walking over with Ping'er. Coincidentally, Jiang Wan thought that she hadn't seen Xie Wenxuan for some days, and thought that she would have time to see her today. That's exactly what happened to me.

Ping'er looked at the bustle in front of her and asked. "Princess, what's going on here? So many people. ”

As soon as Ping'er finished asking, she saw a masked woman suddenly running over directly, and this posture was more like a direct pounce.

"Sister-in-law......" The man called weakly, and used his strength to lift the veil from his face.

"Sister-in-law, you save me." The person in front of him was not someone else, it was Ling Lan. Jiang Wan had no choice but to stretch out her hands to hold her, but seeing that Ling Lan's face was pale and she looked very weak. Looking again, I saw that Ling Lan's arm was injured.

"Who wants to hurt you?" As soon as Jiang Wan asked, she saw Shen Lian running over not far away, and when she saw her, she slowed down.

Shen Lian ran to Jiang Wan with someone and had already signaled his subordinates to put away their swords. He looked at Jiang Wan calmly and said, "It turned out to be the princess." ”

When Ling Lan heard Shen Lian's voice, she trembled with fright. Jiang Wan immediately understood that it was Shen Lian who hurt her. But why did Shen Lian hurt her? They shouldn't have anything to do with it!

At this time, Ling Lan fainted directly due to excessive blood loss.

"Ping'er, hold her up."

"Yes, Princess."

"This person is the key criminal I pursued, and I ask the princess to hand him over to me."

Whether Jiang Wan helps Ling Lan or not is secondary, but she can't see Shen Lian bullying a woman with a group of people at this time.

Jiang Wan said, "If I'm not mistaken, Shen Gongzi has no official position for a long time. Why did you come to arrest any important criminals today, could it be that Shen Gongzi had already gone to the yamen to get a job? ”

was choked by Jiang Huan, Shen Lian did not hide it, and said, "I am just doing things for the people in the palace, this woman escaped from the palace and stole a lot of gold, silver and jewelry from the head of the palace." The people were looting her stolen goods. ”

Jiang Wan glanced at Ling Lan slightly, thinking that she finally couldn't hold it anymore and began to show her fox tail. What she wanted to know from Ling Lan couldn't be stopped by Shen Lian in vain. Although she didn't know what Ling Lan really knew.

Jiang Wan said, "I think Shen Gongzi may have misunderstood, this girl is from my palace, and she has never entered any palace." As for the so-called stolen goods, does Shen Gongzi think that we can't take out these things in the palace, and we still need to go into the palace to steal them? ”

Shen Lian saw that Jiang Wan was not easy to deal with, so he moved out of Ruan Shunhua Road, "She stole the things of Concubine Yan, could it be that Concubine Yan would still wronged her?" The princess is the one who wants to protect the palace? ”

Jiang Wan couldn't help but secretly think, why is this Shen Lian doing things for Ruan Shunhua again? Is what he said true or false? If it's true, isn't this Ling Lan still having anything to do with Ruan Shunhua?

It seems that everything can only be asked to Ling Lan.

Jiang Wan no longer talked to Shen Lian, and said, "I will protect the people, otherwise outsiders will think that anyone in our palace can move." So, I took a look, there are six of you, let's go together. Beat me, people take away. If you can't beat me, get out of here. I don't care if you tell Concubine Yan or not. If there is evidence, even if you come to the palace and get someone. ”

"...... you" Shen Lian looked at Jiang Huan, and for a while he was also thinking about whether he should do it. Although he has the support of Concubine Yan, the person in front of him is still a princess after all. And he doesn't have an official position now, if something really happens, Concubine Yan won't necessarily protect him. After thinking about it, Shen Lian felt that it was better to go first, so he told Concubine Yan about it, and then it was not too late to decide.

Shen Lian said, "Since the princess insists on shielding criminals and making enemies of Concubine Yan, then I have nothing to say." This matter will be left to Concubine Yan's mother. Let's go. ”

Seeing Shen Lian and them leaving, Ping'er hurriedly said to Jiang Huan, "Princess, the slave maid looks very weak at the second grandmother, let's hurry up and find a doctor, right?" ”

"If you want to find it, you have to bring it back to the palace first. The more people know about this matter, it will not be good for the royal government. ”

"Yes, Princess."

So the two called a carriage and quickly took Ling Lan back to the palace. And in a tavern not far away, a man was holding a glass of wine and watching it all.

"What an interesting princess." The corners of the man's mouth curved in a charming arc, with a slightly playful smile.
