Chapter 2: The Old Man Comes
At this time, Dai Non opened the curtain and walked in, she was a little older, about eighteen or nineteen years old, she took care of the chores on weekdays, and occasionally helped the housekeeper manage the accounts.
Being a maid is really condescending, Jiang Yunyu thought.
"I heard that Miss is awake, Lord Qincha and the housekeeper are discussing in the front hall, but Miss wants to go over now?" The familiar voice brought her back to her senses, ...... is Chin Cha?
She remembered that there was such a thing in her previous life, but at that time she was so heartbroken that she didn't even see anyone.
Jiang's father's death was not found out in the end, and it became an unsolved case over time.
This time, she'd better go and meet it, in case she finds something.
The front hall was already surrounded by many people, the butler and some domestic servants stood outside, and some of the college students who were either mournful or angry also gathered here, and there was a group of officials in soap clothes inside.
"We have all seen the specific situation, the knife wound is never fatal, and it is impossible to find the murderer from this direction!" They could be heard arguing in the distance.
If you look closely, it is divided into two distinct factions, and the few in the west, headed by the local county magistrate of Tanyang, gathered together as if discussing the case. The group of people on the east side all carried knives, and they didn't say a word, and there was an awe-inspiring momentum when they stood there. And the only one of them who did not carry a knife was sitting on the rosewood chair above, and looked at the people in the hall leisurely.
It looks very out of place.
The closer she got, the more flustered Jiang Yunyu became, and then Dai Nong squeezed her hand hard.
She felt a warmth in her heart, Denon was one of the few people in the world who was closest to her.
She looked at the young man sitting in the innermost seat, and had a faint premonition.
The people around saw her and made a way out of the way.
She walked straight over, met the many scrutinizing eyes, and she knew that she could not show the slightest weakness at this time.
But when she saw the person sitting on the head, she was also in a trance.
Xie Qinglin!
The crown prince Xie Qinglin will soon ascend the throne as emperor!
At this time, his eyebrows and eyes are not much different from those in his memory, his long eyebrows are like a sword, his facial features are clearly outlined and he looks gentle and affectionate, his eyes seem to contain the lake of spring, and it seems to reflect the galaxy of thousands of miles.
It was him!
It's good that a prince is not staying in the palace, what is the excitement here?
So, in his previous life, did he also come?
In her previous life, she was addicted to pain, and she didn't see anyone who came to investigate the case, so she passed by this person.
And in the years in the palace, the number of times they met was only a handful.
After all, there is no affection between them.
"Little girl Jiang Yunyu, I've seen all the adults." Jiang Yunyu bowed generously, and the housekeeper hurriedly brought out a chair and invited her to sit.
Although Xie Qinglin was a little flustered when she first saw him, she quickly calmed down and treated him as an ordinary official.
It would be suspicious if she showed surprise or trepidation, and here everyone thought she was still the ignorant young girl.
His father Jiang Zhu used to be a merry and talented man in the capital, and when he was young, he angered the emperor before he was relegated to this poor countryside - Tanyang County, she didn't know how elegant Jiang Zhu was when he was young, but most of the local officials were quite polite to Jiang Zhu. And Jiang Zhu is humble, treats everyone as kind, and opens Wutong Academy to accept protégés, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is well-known in the township.
In fact, the emperor also wanted to summon him back, but he couldn't save face. Jiang Yunyu naturally didn't know about this.
As for the origin of the name of the Sycamore Academy, it lies in the sycamore tree he planted with his own hands on Nanshan.
A middle-aged man with a knife stood up, hugged his fists around, and said in a voice like a bell, "The imperial court sent me here to find out who harmed Mr. Jiang, please rest assured, this case is not closed, and I will never return to Beijing!" ”
Heh, how did the previous life become an unsolved case?
Jiang Yunyu's faintly angry gaze swept towards everyone, and she was caught off guard by the gaze of the last one, she instantly became overwhelmed and bowed her head uneasily.
In the place where she couldn't see, the corners of Xie Qinglin's lips were hooked, quite interested.
I had heard that Jiang Zhu was talented, and the original plan was to have the opportunity to call him back to take office in the future, but he knew that his affairs had not been properly arranged, and the news of his death suddenly came.
He was originally in Linzhou to investigate the matter of smuggling salt, but when he heard the news, he rushed over without stopping, and only brought two personal guards. Except for Zhao Yan from the Criminal Department, no one here knows his identity.
Jiang Zhu's reputation among the people is higher than he imagined, after Mrs. Jiang died, he has never renewed the strings over the years, and the eulogy has been transmitted to Luojing, and there is only one orphan girl left in his family.
At this time, most of the onlookers dispersed, did they just come to see what Luo Jinglai looked like? Jiang Yunyu began to mumble in her heart again.
Xie Qinglin looked at this little girl, her skin was as fair as porcelain, her long hair was slightly messy, she only loosely rolled a bun, and a white jade plum hairpin was inserted obliquely.
An unprecedented feeling surged in his heart, and he only felt that this person seemed to have seen before.
