Lan hung his head and stood in the outer room, and after Xiao Song went out, he hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the paper and pen and went into the inner room.

Ran Yan glanced at the pen and paper in her hand and said, "Matter? ”

Ge Lanxun sat in front of the couch, looked at the hairpin of the brocade box, and wrote: Niangzi, the meaning of giving hairpins?

Ran Yan looked at the paper, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Don't you say that I don't care, it's a thing of love, right?" No less words"

This time it was Ge Lan's turn to be stunned, she thought that her lady was too ignorant of the love between men and women, so she didn't know the deep meaning of giving hairpins, but it didn't seem to be the case. She raised her pen and wrote: The slave is brave, dare to ask the lady if she wants Xiao Langjun?

"Mean?" Ran Yan looked at the peach wood hairpin placed next to the pillow and pursed her lips slightly, "He's a no-person." ”

But, like him?

"Giving hairpins is just a way to express feelings, it doesn't matter whether you are determined or not." Seeing that Ge Lan didn't seem to agree, Ran Yan continued, "If Xiao Song hadn't thought like this, he wouldn't have coaxed Ah Yun to secretly send such an important hairpin. ”

Xiao Song just wanted to tell her that he was going to marry her by three media. Judging from Xiao Song's style of doing things, Ran Yan came to this conclusion.

"Put it away." Ran Yan said.

Ge Lan didn't understand Ran Yan's thoughts, but she didn't ask any more questions, and carefully put away the finely carved peach hairpin.

After a while, the evening green pooped, and as soon as he entered the house, he shouted, "That little slippery head, his mouth is really tight, don't beat him and tell the truth"

Gelan glared at her in disgust.

Wan Lu stuck out her tongue, ran to the inner room, and sat down in front of Ran Yan's bed.

"You beat the tenth brother's little guy?" Ran Yan asked with a frown.

Wan Lu hurriedly shook his head and denied it, "I didn't fight, I just forced a confession." ”

Ran Yan didn't blame much, now she was more concerned about what happened to Ran Yunsheng, "Asked?" ”

"Listening to Lu Le, nothing big happened, but when I was in Luoyang, I saved a lady who fell off a horse, and then Shilang said a few words to the lady, and then fled in a hurry." Late Green still suspects that Lu Le is lying to her, and the lady can scare Shiro like a flood beast and run away, Late Green Road, "The slave maid feels that it is either Lu Le and the slave maid, or the lady is miserable." ”

"None?" Ran Yan was surprised.

Evening Green nodded, "yes, that's it." ”

It didn't seem to be a big deal, Ran Yan decided to wait for Ran Yunsheng to calm down a little and ask him another day.

The night was late.

Ran Yan lay on the couch and thought about many things, and finally felt a little sleepy, so he moved a stable position and prepared to sleep.

When his consciousness was hazy, he heard some noisy sounds, Ran Yan opened his eyes, and there was a faint fire outside.

"Evening green." Ran Yan called out the evening green sleeping on the couch.

Wanlu was still drowsy, so she hurriedly got up and said, "Lady wants to get up at night and not skip words."

"No, you see what's going on outside?" Ran Yan said.

"Oh." Wanlu yawned, put on her clothes, opened the door and poked her head out, only shrank after a while, and replied, "Lady, it's not our side, it's the yamen's side." ”

Ran Yan guessed that Xiao Song might have set a trap to lure the enemy, so he didn't ask any more questions and called Wanlu to continue sleeping.

Early the next morning, Xiao Song sent someone to tell Ran Yan that Zhuang Yin had been captured.

After finishing breakfast, Ran Yan began to look at the roof in a daze. About half an hour later, I took a pill and began to stare at the roof again.

After noon, the sky began to darken. Liu Qingsong is now a turtle with a shrunken head, Ran Yunsheng seems to be in a bad mood, and he has not seen anyone in the morning. The masters were in a bad mood, and the servants and maids did not dare to make a loud noise. So the small courtyard was obviously full of people, but it seemed extraordinarily quiet.

It wasn't until almost noon that Sang Chen came out of the room, standing at Ran Yan's door and twisting for a long time, just raised his hand and was about to knock on the door frame, when he heard Ran Yan sigh faintly in the room, "Alas, I haven't picked up the corpse for a long time......"

The blood on Sang Chen's face receded little by little.

Xiao Song finished his business and just entered the inner doorway, when he saw a gray image like a ghost, rushing back to the room from Ran Yan's door like a rabbit, the speed was really staggering.

Xiao Song paused for a while before knocking on Ran Yan's door, and a weak voice came from inside, "The door is not locked." ”

"I've only woken up for a day and I'm bored?" Xiao Song asked when he entered the room.

Ran Yan glanced at him lazily, moved his lips, and asked instead of answering, "Are you giving the hairpin to me?" ”

Ge Lan and Wan Lu had just experienced the fright of "receiving corpse gas", and the shock was still undecided, and Ran Yan came again with a fierce blow.

The split head was such a direct sentence, and Xiao Song was also a little stunned when asked, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "I just want to send it." ”

Ran Yan refused to accept the cloud hairpin, and Xiao Song said that she had not yet reached the point of making up her mind, so naturally she would not hit the wall.

"Well, I feel the same way, but it's better to ask clearly, so as not to be unclear in the future." Ran Yan said slowly.

Xiao Song lifted his robe and sat sullenly in front of the couch, "Do you have to explain things so thoroughly?" Be a wet blanket. ”

Looking at his sullen appearance, Ran Yan suddenly felt much better, and asked about the case with great interest, "Zhuang Yin was caught?" The case is solved? ”

Xiao Song sighed helplessly in his heart, and followed her topic, "Hmm." I set up a bureau, originally thinking that it was to verify whether Ze Heiji, the owner of Yuelai Inn, had a motive to kill, but I never thought that there was an unexpected gain. Also, a piece of paper was found in the house of the beggar Liu Wen. ”

Xiao Song unfolded the paper in front of Ran Yan, and there were a few blurred big characters on it: Wait for it.

"I also found a portrait of a woman in his house, and after identification, it was an embroidery girl named Luo Ling." Xiao Song folded the paper, wrapped it in white folded cloth, and stuffed it back into his sleeve pocket. This is important physical evidence.

"Suzume?" Ran Yan has always faintly felt that this Luo Ling and Liu Wen can't be strangers, "So, they are lovers?" Isn't she a major suspect in this way? ”

If Liu Wen was persecuted by them for the dirty things of Zhuang Yin and others, in order to avenge Liu Wen, it is not impossible for Ling Niang to go crazy.

Xiao Song bowed.

remembered that the timid but resolute-eyed Ling Niang once said: He feels that he has become a wasted person, and he doesn't want to affect me, he will not marry for life, and I will not marry for life, so we can be regarded as staying together.

"I want to meet that bell girl." Ran Yan stared at Xiao Song. Her request was a bit excessive, if it was ordinary, she would definitely not do such an unmeasured thing, but she Xiao Song would agree.

"Okay." Xiao Song agreed without thinking about it.

Ran Yan is not a generous person with no limits, she was injured like this, in addition to Zhuang Yin, there was also that evil murderer, she would not let go of any of them. In addition, it is necessary to self-examine.

After a while, two officials pressed a woman into the room.

Through the bamboo curtain, you can vaguely see that she is tall, her face is slender and long, and there are two autumn waters under her curved willow eyebrows, the court is slightly long, and her lips are a little thin. He wore his hair in a simple bun and didn't have a single ornament on his body.

Luo Ling saw Xiao Song sitting next to him at first sight, thinking it was an arraignment, so he knelt down outside the curtain.

"Get up, someone wants to avenge you, come in and talk back." Xiao Song said.

Luo Ling was stunned for a moment, only to make sure that he didn't listen, got up and lowered his head to open the curtain, walked in, and stood in the farthest corner from Xiao Song, his shoulders couldn't stop trembling slightly.

Ran Yan couldn't help but glance at Xiao Song: Have you persecuted other girls?

Xiao Song's eyes were innocent.

"Ling Niang, please take a seat." Ran Yan softened her voice. She thought she was already very gentle, but she didn't know that to others, she was still indifferent.

Luo Ling faced a god and an iceberg, where did she dare to say a word, Ran Yan said let her do it, and she honestly sat down on the farthest seat.

"Can you tell me about the relationship between you and Liu Wen, don't skip words. Ran Yan asked.

Luo Ling lowered his eyes, and his voice was thin and trembling, "I don't." When he was a state student, he said that he would go to my house to be hired after the imperial examination, but after an accident, he only pretended not to know me. ”

Ran Yan continued to ask, "What do you think Liu Wen is a kind of?" It is said that he is very talented, do you think he will fulfill his promise if he is high in the imperial examination?

"He never counts." Luo Ling's voice was choked, speaking of Liu Wen, her heart was full of sadness, and she forgot her fear, "I met him thirteen years ago, he is a good person, he often comes to help me take care of my grandmother, and the heavy work at home is taken over......"

Ran Yan interrupted her, "In that case, why don't your neighbors know him?" ”

He ...... He was afraid of being punished by his family, so he only secretly. Luo Ling said with a word, endlessly sad. In the past, although Liu Wen was a concubine of the Liu family, he was valued by the clan because of his talent, and her identity was naturally very different, and then he suffered a sudden accident, she thought that she could become a husband and wife, but he had fallen into despair.

"Did you skip words. That's the most important question.

Luo Ling shook her head, tears falling on the floor one by one, and small flowers bloomed in front of her.

I don't know when it rained outside, as if to reflect Luo Ling's current mood, the room gradually darkened, and I couldn't see the figure clearly, only Luo Ling's suppressed crying.

"Someone, let her go." After a long time, Xiao Song broke the silence with a loud voice.

Ran Yan looked at him with some surprise, Xiao Song didn't seem to be a sensual person, it was impossible to be filled with sympathy after listening to a difficult story. But on second thought, she understood. Luo Ling is so sincere, there is no flaw at all, if she insists that it will not happen to Liu Wen, she will have no motive to kill.

Xiao Song stood at the window, looked at the back of the official who went out with Luo Ling, and said softly, "Bai Yi, follow her." ”

A voice on the porch said, "Yes." ”

Ran Yan said, "Do you think she is a murderer?" ”

"No, anyone involved in it could be the murderer. I just think that her emotions just now today are obviously more excited than in the county office. Xiao Song turned around and said.

Ran Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Aren't you too scary?" She's easier for me to relax? ”

"You?" Xiao Song looked at her serious expression, she wasn't joking at all, and couldn't help but say, "You are embarrassed to laugh at fifty steps and a hundred steps, Fang Cai Sang Suiyuan was still scared by you." ”

Yes By].
