Chapter 322: Suspicion

"Do you know what's in that box?" Ran Yan asked Liang'er, although she knew that it might not be 'sexual', but Ran Yan was still unwilling to let go of the slightest opportunity.

Liang'er hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's a piece of clothing." ”

Ran Yan and Xiao Song were shocked, they thought it was a secret hidden by Mrs. Tai, but they didn't expect Liang'er to know, Xiao Song couldn't help asking, "What kind of clothes can you see?" ”

"It's a black 'colored' curl like the one Mrs. Tai wears, but it is embroidered with gold thread back to the cloud pattern, which looks very luxurious, and there is also a set of jewelry, there are twelve phoenix hairpins, but later Mrs. Tai put away eight of them, and 'handed over' to Sister Ling Xiang, saying that they would 'hand' over to her when the mother was a hundred years old." Liang'er said. She knew that this was the princess dress of the Liang Dynasty, but she couldn't say it directly, after all, Xiliang was no longer there, and that dress could only be an ordinary dress.

Mrs. Xiao must be worried about being taken out to talk about things, so she removed eight Feng Hai, and the princess dress of the Tang Dynasty is no longer a black 'color' curl, so even if Queen Xiao keeps her clothes, it is only a souvenir.

"This is the clothes that my grandmother left for my aunt to bury after a hundred years." Xiao Song groaned for a moment and said, "For my aunt, it has extraordinary significance, but for others, it is just an old coat, who would kill someone just to get a piece of clothing!" ”

Liu Qingsong walked out of the inner room with red eyes, he was close to Mrs. Tai, Ling Xiang usually took care of him, within one day, two "relatives" died, and Xiao may not allow him to wear linen and filial piety, Liu Qingsong's eyes were scattered, and he looked a little unbearable, in a short period of time, people became a lot of vicissitudes.

Mrs. Xiao is dying, Liu Qingsong can't bear it, not to mention that Ling Xiang was murdered.

Liu Qingsong sat down on the seat, was quiet for a long time, and suddenly said sharply, "Check!" Jiulang, you must find out the real murderer Lao Tzu and break him into pieces! Chop and feed the dogs! ”

Ran Yan could understand his mood, when Qin Linyun was lying on her dissection table, she was in the same mood, and even if it wasn't for the captain of the criminal police to stop her, she would really torture those criminals to death.

"Okay." After Xiao Song promised him, he immediately got up and walked out.

Ran Yan finally arrived at the 'gate' and watched him walk to the water pavilion in the garden, and said some words to Song Guogong and the elders of his family, who hesitated for a long time and discussed a few words before nodding.

Xiao Song went down to the water pavilion, summoned Bai Yi, and ordered the guards of the whole mansion to guard the various 'doors' and began to search room by room.

"How long has Ling Xiang been dead?" Xiao Song approached and asked Ran Yan.

Ran Yan said decisively: "Less than two moments." ”

Xiao Song's jaw, it is definitely not easy for such a large golden silk nanmu box to be sent out in a short period of time.

Xiao Song asked everyone to check all the people and carriages that had left the mansion within half an hour.

The guards of the Xiao Mansion were neat and tidy, and in less than an instant, they put a list of people who had left the mansion within half an hour and where they had gone and brought those things out... After Xiao Song glanced at them one by one, he found that a few people who were not suspected had been eliminated, and people were asked to find the remaining suspects.

There are three of them, two of them went out in a carriage to report the funeral a moment ago, and the other one is Shu Niang, and the reason for going out is unknown.

It was almost noon, and everyone had no appetite and just ate some hastily. After noon, the old lady's coffin came, it was a black and red golden silk nan wooden coffin, and the two Dugu clans took a few ladies of the family to tidy up the old man's appearance. In fact, they were just watching from the sidelines, so as not to offend Mrs. Tai's corpse, and the tidying up work was done by Liang'er and the two mothers-in-law who collected the corpse.

In the end, the Xiao family is a family of 'door' valves, even if there is a murder, but no one is panicked, and the 'women' are asked not to go out in Xiaodongshe for the time being, so they stay there, chatting and chatting, and playing chess.

As the 'wife' of the Xiao family, Ran Yan naturally couldn't hang around with Xiao Song, so after lunch, she also entered the small east house. Of all the people, only the princess and the county lord were able to stay in their own courtyards.

"Auntie, come and sit here." When Wan Niang saw Ran Yan, she opened her mouth to call her.

Xu was because Wan Niang's son was too cute, and Ran Yan even gave her some face, so she walked into the pavilion along the path.

"Auntie, please take a seat." Everyone gave way to her, and Wan Niang also gave up the main seat.

Ran Yan was older than them, and he should have sat in the main seat, so he never shirked. As soon as she knelt down and sat down, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young 'woman' said, "Why is there only one 'maid' by my aunt's side?" ”

Ran Yan glanced at her lightly and said, "I have been serving Mrs. Tai these days, and Mrs. Tai doesn't like a lot of people, so I sent all the 'servants' back." After a pause, Ran Yan continued, "Do your filial piety yourself, and do it properly." Why, why did the nephew and daughter-in-law ask this? ”

This 'female' son is clearly looking for fault. Ran Yan directly counterattacked back.

Xiao Fu sent over the 'waiting' maid, Ran Yan didn't like to use it, so he 'privately' bought a few clean little 'girl' children 'handed' to Xing Niang for training, and later Wanlu and Gelan got married, Ran Yan also had a reassuring personal 'waiting' maid, but now there is a temporary shortage of people around him.

However, the statement of the Xiao family can't be said casually, such as "I like to be quiet" and "I don't like so many people to serve", which will make people look down on them.

"Just asking." The young 'woman' was a little embarrassed, and her eyes drifted to a 'woman' in her twenties beside her.

Presumably because she was pampered by someone and wanted to squeeze her, Ran Yan didn't care, and she knew very well in her heart that these people didn't really treat her as an elder, but they might be more curious about her.

Ran Yan's cold face lowered the temperature in the pavilion by a few points, and everyone didn't dare to breathe, and secretly looked at her from time to time, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.

"You guys play, I'll go to A's side." Ran Yan raised his hand, let Wanlu help him up, and said goodbye to them slightly.

Everyone looked at Ran Yan, who was dressed in plain clothes and walked in the flowers, and felt that it was really pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Wan Niang muttered, "I always feel that there are really some elders." ”

Everyone secretly agreed.

This is also inevitable, Ran Yan used to be a professor in the university for a period of time in his previous life, and he was more accustomed to explaining in front of a group of criminal police, and his actual age was a round older than them.

"Lady, you're scaring people again." Evening Green stuck out her tongue and leaned closer to Ran Yan and whispered.

scared them, Ran Yanke didn't feel guilty at all, anyway, the other party didn't have any good intentions.

The ladies of the elder generation gathered in the hall to drink tea, and there were 'waiters' and maidservants at the 'door' to announce, "Old lady, the ninth lady is here." ”

"Come in." Dugu's voice slowly came from inside the house.

The two 'waiters' opened the curtains, and Ran Yan entered the room, and more than ten pairs of eyes looked at each other.

Ran Yan saluted one by one, and the Dugu clan let her sit down. In addition to the princess and the county lord who didn't come, there were five 'women' in the house who were of her age, and the youngest was twenty-eight or nineteen years old. Therefore, as the topic was talked, it turned to Ran Yan again.

"Jiulang's daughter-in-law' has made all the underground gambling houses in Chang'an bleed!" An old woman in her early sixties sitting next to Dugu had a faint smile on her lips, dignified and decent, and her words made it impossible to tell whether they were sarcastic or well-intentioned.

But judging from the 'color' of Dugu's face, it is definitely not unintentional. Therefore, no one in the house dared to echo her words.

This 'woman' is the wife of the current patriarch Xiao, and she has never been very opposed to the Dugu clan, she is from the most prosperous second room of the Boling Cui clan, and she has a strong maiden family to support her, so even if she is two levels lower than the Dugu clan in terms of the 'woman' grade, she will definitely dare to do it unequivocally.

"It's the nephew's 'wife''s fault, if we had told everyone that we could live for so long, our Xiao family might be able to win back the entire Chang'an gambling house." Ran Yan lowered his head slightly, and said in a smooth voice.

The words are ingenious, Dugu was happy when he heard it, but his face was still faint, and his eyes when he looked at Ran Yan softened a little.

Cui Shi didn't have time to answer.' At the door, there was a "waiter" maid to inform Mrs. Dongyang that she was here.

The light at the entrance of the 'door' was bright and dim, and Mrs. Dongyang was still dressed in plain clothes, as far away and light as the distant mountains and valleys, and said hello to a few people of the same generation in the room, and then knelt down and sat down.

Ran Yan couldn't help but suspect that this murder was related to her, so she looked at her a few more times.

Mrs. Dongyang seemed to notice her gaze, and she also tilted her head slightly, smiling at her lightly.

What made Ran Yan relaxed was that the arrival of Mrs. Dongyang interrupted the conversation around her, and everyone began to talk about the future generations of the old lady.

In any case, Mrs. Dongyang is the wife of the Changfang, and the Xiao family is originally a royal family, if Xiliang is not destroyed, she is now the queen. The queen has only been around for a short time, although no one will still treat her as a queen, but now her status in the clan is still a head higher than that of other ladies, even if she is as arrogant as Dugu, she will give her a little thin face.

While everyone was chatting with each other, a 'waiter' hurriedly came in, bowed down to the Dugu clan and said, "Old lady, the patriarch and the prince of the country please come over." ”

The room was quiet all of a sudden, and Dugu was also stunned, what was there to call her alone?

Thinking so in her heart, she didn't hesitate, Ye Bing once asked what was the matter, and only let the personal 'waiter' help her, "You continue to talk, I'll go and see first." ”

Ran Yan hesitated for a moment, then got up and followed.

As soon as he left the 'door', he heard the 'waiter' maid whisper to the Dugu clan, "Old lady, Jiulang called those suspicious people back, and found Mrs. Tai's golden silk nanmu box in Mrs. Daning's car, and Mrs. County said that you asked her to send it to the palace." ”

"What?" Dugu's heart was shocked, and his always dignified expression was also a little out of control, "I have no grievances with her, why do you want to frame me!" ”

"The slave doesn't know, but just a reminder to the old lady." Seeing that Dugu's footsteps stopped, the 'waiter' maid cautiously urged, "Old lady, let's hurry over." ”

I have to report to you about the recent hard work of the sleeve paper, which is too necessary. First of all, I had a car accident some time ago, and my foot has not healed yet.

Secondly, I had wisdom teeth, which were inflamed yesterday, and the lymph in the entire neck and cheek were swollen, and the pain was terrible, so I had to go to the hospital to see a dental department. As a result, the doctor had a leave of absence that day, and the sleeve paper waited from nine o'clock in the morning until twelve o'clock before he could stand in line, and the doctor opened the hanging bottle.

When I saw that there were only 100 yuan in my wallet, I thought that the hospital was so expensive now, it would definitely not be enough, so I ran to a nearby ATM to withdraw money. As a result, the ATM failed, did not spit out the money, spit out a fault slip, the sleeve paper against the sun, endured the toothache, turned to the bank, and after solving the matter, prepared to withdraw money at the ATM next door.

Rub, all three ATMs have no money! Of the six ATMs, three were broken, and three were lined up by the old elders, so they could only queue up bitterly. After queuing for a full ten minutes, there were finally three people left to get to the sleeve paper, and as a result, the sleeve paper watched the machine break down in front of me! I also swallowed the card of a little brother in front of me!

So I had to go to another row, and finally got 500 yuan.

Then I was afraid that I would hang the water for too long, and I would go home too late at night, so I didn't even care about lunch, so I went back to the hospital, so I paid the fee, and it was only 50 yuan! Fifty pieces!!! The sleeve paper is not happy at all!

Because I didn't eat at noon, I was a little dizzy when I hung the bottle, and then I found that I was a little cold, and I asked the nurse for a thermometer, and I actually started a fever, and I took 'medicine' while hanging the bottleΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· After hanging up a bottle and a half, the sleeve paper began to have stomach pain because he didn't eat lunch.

I worked hard until the hanging bottle was finished, and at half past three in the afternoon, all restaurants did not cook! I can only go to eat KFC, wait for the business 'handover' and wait for 20 minutes and still haven't come, the uncomfortable sleeve paper decisively took a taxi, when the sleeve paper didn't decide to take a taxi, I watched one empty car after another pass in front of me, and when I decided, Nima didn't come at all!

I couldn't stand the birds, so I took a motorcycle (motorcycle), but the uncle's motorcycle was so slow, and after driving for a while, I watched the public 'handover' gorgeously pass by me.

Then, the sleeve paper hesitated to eat too greasy, and the wind blew again, and the sky was dark when I went back to vomit.
