The pink-clothed girl's face turned pale, and when she saw Gao's family, she immediately struggled and said, "Madam! Yu Ju Si took people to the mansion and arrested Eighteen Niang, saying that Eighteen Niang was a murder suspect! ”

"What?" Rao is Gao will be able to disguise again, and when he heard that his daughter had become a suspect, he was still shocked, and said sharply, "Tell me clearly!" What's going on? ”

The pink-clothed maid shrank her neck in fright and explained, "Yu Jusi said that he found half of the broken nail painted with Dankou on Wanlu's wound, and it happened that Eighteen Niang's nails were broken in Yinfu Hui...... And someone testified that there was a dispute between Eighteen Niang and Seventeen Niang Yin Mansion in the garden that day, and Yu Jusi said that Niangzi was a suspect. ”

Indeed, Ran Yan's maid and the people in the Yin Mansion have no grievances, even if there is a conflict, they will not be killed, and Eighteen Niang and Ran Yan have always been at odds, if they are angry and do something to kill, this reason makes sense.

The suspicion in Gao's heart gradually subsided, his face eased, his eyes turned to Ran Yan, and he asked calmly, "Did your sisters really have a dispute that day?" ”

Ran Yan replied truthfully, "Yes." ”

The specific situation, Ran Yan doesn't need to explain, I believe that soon the Gao family will be able to know it clearly, after all, there was a maid from the Yin Mansion to testify at that time.

Yin Sanniang smiled. Gao smiled apologetically at Yin Miao.

Yin Miao comforted softly, "Madam, don't worry, we all know what kind of heart Eighteen Niang is, she will not do such a thing, I believe that Liu Tingshi and Yu Jusi have a clear decision." ”

"Thank you Sanniang for your relief." Gao seemed to be really relieved, and after saying goodbye to Yin Miaomiao and Ran Yan, he led a group of servants and maids to leave.

Yin Miaomiao also said goodbye to Ran Yan, and instructed Ran Yan before leaving, "If you are going to go to Pingjiang River on the day of Qixi Festival, you will send someone to my house in advance to inform you, and we will go together." ”

"Okay." Ran Yan agreed and sent her out of Zhuangzi.

On the way back, Ran Yan couldn't help but wonder, does Ran Meiyu have the time and motivation to kill Wanlu? Ran Yan thought about it carefully, judging from the scars on Wan Lu's body, she was attacked from the back of her head first, because the thing used to attack was not sharp, and the murderer did not have much strength, so she may just be dizzy and temporarily lose the ability to resist, the murderer for some reason, abandoned the original murder weapon, and instead prepared to strangle her with his hands, but accidentally broke his nails.

This series of actions may have happened before Ran Yan arrived in the garden. Previously, Ran Yan judged that there was more than one murderer, so if it was really Ran Meiyu's doing, she was likely to find Ran Yan in the back garden and deliberately rushed out to delay time.

And what about the motive for the killing? According to Ran Yan's memory, Ran Meiyu is really not kind-hearted, but there are many ways for her to rectify the late green and vent her anger, why did she choose to kill?

"It's not impossible for Eighteen Niang to want to kill Wanlu." Xing Niang said.

"Why?" Ran Yan asked.

Speaking of Ran Meiyu, Xing Niang's face was full of disgust, "Eighteen Niang was vicious at a young age, did she hurt you less times in the past?" Evening Green has a temper and rushes against her many times, and she can't tell how she holds a grudge in her heart! ”

Ran Yan smiled faintly, she remembered those things, but they didn't happen to her, and she couldn't empathize. Xing Niang has suffered a lot, and she really hates Ran Meiyu, and prays from the bottom of her heart that Ran Meiyu will not be released this time.

"Maybe I want to teach Wanlu a lesson, it's too heavy." Xing Niang muttered.

Ran Yan was stunned, what Xing Niang said was very likely, Ran Meiyu thought that she had killed someone by mistake, so in a panic, she made an illogical suicide scene.

"Is Evening Green awake?" Ran Yan asked, these things, as long as Wan Lu wakes up, everything can be solved.

"I woke up in a daze last night, and I opened my eyes for a while this morning, but the old slave called her, and she shouldn't either." Xing Niang said worriedly.

"Shouldn't?" Ran Yan frowned, the brain is the central commander that controls the human body, and it is easily damaged, if it is a late green stupidity or amnesia......

Thinking of this, Ran Yan walked briskly towards the evening green room. Xing Niang saw that her face was not very good, so she didn't ask anything more, and followed in.

Wanlu had already woken up, her eyes were half-open, her eyes were dull and she was fed medicine by Liu, and she was able to take the initiative to swallow the medicine, but her expression was very painful when she swallowed. Ran Yan knew that she was choked, and then she was hung up, and it was inevitable that she would hurt her throat.

"Evening green." Ran Yan took the medicine bowl and sat in front of the couch to feed her the medicine personally, "After drinking the medicine, it won't hurt so much in three or five days." ”

Evening green eyes moved slightly, his gaze shifted to Ran Yan, his pale and chapped lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't speak, and tears slipped down his phoenix eyes.

A big stone in Ran Yan's heart was finally put down, it seems that Wan Lu's IQ has not been affected much, and his memory doesn't seem to have much impact, so that's enough. Ran Yan privately hopes that Wan Lu will forget the cruel scene, she herself has died, knowing that that fear is enough to become a nightmare for a lifetime, she often faces corpses, and treats life and death more calmly than ordinary people, even so, every midnight dream is still a cold sweat.

"Don't cry, don't cry, you can't eat for a few days, what if you don't have the strength to cry?" Ran Yan was telling the truth, Wanlu hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and she hadn't even drunk much water, and if she cried like this, she would soon go into shock.

Xing Niang also answered, "That's it, when you get better, you can cry as much as you want, I promise not to laugh at you." ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Evening Green's pale face.

Ran Yan added a lot of soothing ingredients to the medicine, and Wanlu fell asleep soon after taking the medicine.

"Lady, how is the evening green?" After exiting, Xing Niang asked.

Ran Yan said, "It's okay, it's just that her throat is stinging now, and she can't swallow anything, you go and see if there are any supplements in the things sent by the Gao family, stew it into water and feed it to her." ”

"The old slave thanked the lady for the late green!" Xing Niang is courteous.

Ran Yan paused, there was no expression on his face, and he only said in a flat voice, "Xing Niang don't want to say this kind of thing in the future, it's weird and hurtful." ”

"Lady?" Xing Niang looked at Ran Yan puzzled, she was just the most ordinary etiquette, and she couldn't figure out what she had done wrong.

Ran Yan's tone softened, and said, "You share hardships with me, not only the friendship of master and servant, I have a bite to eat, and I will never lose you, this is as it should be." I am the only one in this world who can rely on and trust, for me, you and Wanlu are my mothers and sisters, and you and I are so clearly delineated, doesn't it make me sad? ”

Xing Niang's eyes were slightly red, and her tears couldn't stop falling, so she quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it. After stabilizing his emotions, he sighed, "The lady is really affectionate and righteous, and she will definitely have a good home in the future, and Mrs. will also bless the lady." ”

Ran Yan smiled slightly and did not answer. Xing Niang is three sentences are inseparable from the question of destination, her ears are calloused, if she is connected with a sentence and a half, it will definitely usher in endless nagging.

"Lady Ran."

Ran Yan was just about to take off her sandals and go to the porch, when she heard someone calling her, and when she looked back, it was Yang Yong, the team leader sent by Liu Jianshi.

Yang Yong said, "Assassin Shi asked Ran Niangzi to come over and ask." ”

Xing Niang frowned and said, "It's getting late, can't you ask again tomorrow?" ”

Xing Niang was very dissatisfied with Liu Tingshi in her heart, and once or twice she asked her mother to go out at night to interrogate, and I don't know what it would become when this spread out! As a state assassin, he is also full of etiquette, how can he be so ignorant of etiquette?

Yang Yong said stiffly, "Solving the case is expensive as soon as possible, this is the rule." ”

The sky was getting dark, and with the misty light, Ran Yan took a closer look at this Yang Yong for the first time, with a square face of Chinese characters, a nose like a gall, two eyebrows that seemed to be two swords hanging on the arch of the eyebrows, and a righteous face, which made people know that this person had no evil intentions at a glance.

"Since it's the rule, I'll go for it." Ran Yan was afraid that these government soldiers would relax their vigilance when they thought they had caught the murderer, and paused and said, "Team Yang is leaving more people to protect the witness, if the murderer is someone else, if he can't kill someone at once, I'm afraid he will do it again." ”

Yang Yong glanced at Ran Yan, "Okay." ”

Xing Niang took the satin robe and put it on Ran Yan, and gave a few more instructions, so she was a little relieved to take Shao Ming with her, so she was a little relieved to send her to the carriage of the government.

Shao Ming rewarded him with half a cent of money since Ran Yan generously rewarded him, and he was kind to Ran Yan, and after later contact, he also felt that Ran Yan was a good master, and he knew that Ran Yan was going to be taken back to the house, so he stammered even harder, after all, he had no future here to guard Zhuangzi.

"Shao Ming." Ran Yan calculated that it would take a while to get to the city, so he took advantage of this time to do something.

Shao Ming, who was sitting next to the coachman, heard Ran Yan's voice and hurriedly said, "Is there something wrong with the lady?" ”

"Come in." Ran Yan said.

Shao Ming was puzzled, but he still opened the curtain and entered the car, and he didn't dare to step forward, so he only sat near the car door in a restrained manner.

"Will you follow me?" Ran Yan went straight to the point, but immediately thought that there seemed to be some ambiguity in asking this question, and added, "Do things for me." ”

Ran Yan has inquired about Shao Ming's roots, his home is in Shao Village, five miles south of Zhoujiazhuang, there is only one old mother and a younger sister at home, although he is also high and low like other small girls, but he takes great care of his mother and sister, and his heart is not bad. After deliberate contact these days, he found that Shao Ming was okay in all aspects, so he took advantage of this time to pull him over. Ran Yan understood all his current advantages, as long as he opened his mouth, he would most likely agree.

Shao Ming was overjoyed, he already had this thought, so he naturally agreed without hesitation, "Yes, naturally willing." ”

"You've got to think about it." Ran Yan looked at him solemnly, and said word by word, "Since you follow me, you must do two things, one is loyalty!" The second is to do your best! ”

Shao Ming was a little hairy by Ran Yan, but he knew that now was not the time to retreat, so he said firmly, "Shao Ming swears to be loyal to Ran Seventeen Niang for the rest of his life, do his best, and never regret it!" ”

Ran Yan nodded with satisfaction, Shao Ming was also very clever, knowing that he was loyal to her, not to the Ran family, "If you keep in mind today's words and abide by them, I will definitely not treat you badly, if you betray one day, I will definitely have a way to let you survive and not die." ”

Shao Ming shuddered, and he should have been.

Ran Yan put him in the "probation period", these few short contacts and innocent family background can't prove anything, it still has to pass the test of time, she set this period as half a year.

The coachman outside is a special coachman in the mansion, and he has naturally heard of the inner house to win people's hearts, and he has heard of Ran Yan's matter, he has more or less heard of it, an orphan girl is taken back to the house, and she must want to think of a few available people. The coachman glanced at Shao Ming who came out of the carriage, and thought to himself, Ran Qiniang's vision of seeing people is not bad.

A curfew was imposed in the city, but the government was obviously not subject to this restriction, and the accompanying government soldiers showed their tokens and quickly entered the city.
