Chapter 43

This time the questioning was unexpected by Ran Yan, above the brightly lit lobby, Liu Pinrang was dressed in a scarlet official uniform, black head, and several powerful people sat on the seats on both sides, Yin Wenshu and Ran Wen were among them, as if it was a public trial.

"Thorn history, Ran Seventeen Niang brought it." Ya Gong Tong reported.

Everyone in the hall turned their heads when they heard the sound, and under the lights, a light purple skirt, with loose black hair and a bun, eyebrows like picturesque, and the lilac skirt spread a graceful arc at the feet, with a faint coldness and graceful curling.

Ran Wen Tieqing's face softened a little after seeing Ran Yan.

Ran Yan stood in the hall and saluted, "I've seen Liu Tingshi." ”

Liu Pinrang's expression was solemn, and he replied lightly, "No courtesy." Then he turned to the official and said, "Take Ran Eighteen Niang." ”

Within a moment, Ran Meiyu was brought to the hall. It's only been closed for less than two hours, Ran Meiyu's description has been embarrassed, the crimson gauze skirt is a little wrinkled, the bun is slightly scattered, a pair of beautiful eyes can almost spew fire when she sees Ran Yan, I can't wait to stare her into a thousand holes, if it weren't for her, how could I suffer such a shame!

"I've seen Liu Tingshi!" Ran Meiyu bowed.

Liu Pinrang said goodbye, and then asked people to set up a mat in the hall, after all, she was a noble daughter of a family, and she was not convicted, so Liu Pinrang was not too lazy.

After the two of them sat down, Liu Pinrang asked, "Ran Seventeen Niang, there is a maid in the Yin Mansion, at the end of June 29, you and Ran Eighteen Niang had a dispute in the back garden of the Yin Mansion, can there be such a thing?" ”

Ran Yan replied truthfully, "Yes." ”

Liu Pin said, "Let's talk about it in detail." ”

A hint of pride flashed in Ran Meiyu's eyes, and she said in her heart, tomorrow I am afraid that everyone in Suzhou will know that Ran Yan snatched her golden hairpin, and when the time comes, see where her face goes! Someone testified about this, and she can't rely on it!

Ran Yan's face was calm, he recalled slightly, and said in a calm voice, "That day when I came out of the side hall, my maid was not around, so I went to the garden to look for her, and as soon as I arrived at the garden, Eighteen Niang rushed out to block my way, asked me to ask for the golden hairpin, and said disrespectfully, I was in a hurry to find the maid, so I pushed her away and continued to go to the vicinity of the wooden incense shed." ”

Ran Meiyu was surprised on her face, she thought that Ran Yan would cover it up, but she didn't expect Ran Yan to say it so generously! Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?

Liu Pin let Yu Guang glance at Ran Wen, and saw that his face was even darker, knowing that the matter of the so-called "golden hairpin" was probably the personal grudge of the lady in the house, so he no longer focused on this matter, and said, "Why is your maid not around." ”

On the day of the tea banquet, the Lang Jun asked to change the location to the garden pavilion closer to the female dependents, and Yin Sanniang came up with the idea to let her maid hide well and write poems as a hint for the Lang Jun to find. I heard Aunt Yan say that Yin Sanniang deliberately made the two maids hide in the garden, so that the ladies could secretly watch the fiancΓ© Langjun, so I went to the wooden incense shed with Aunt Yan to see, and met Qi Shi Niang on the way, and she asked to borrow my maid to bring a Langjun over. Ran Yan explained the situation in detail.

Liu Pinrang continued, "It just so happened that there was an accident in Yulanju at that time, so you rushed to Yulanju, and you didn't have time to call the maid, and then when you returned, you met Ran Shibanniang on the way, but so?" ”

"Exactly." Ran Yan Yuguang glimpsed Ran Wen's face even more ugly, she got this confession, it was too bad for Ran Meiyu.

Liu Pinrang continued to ask, "Then in the Yulan Residence and the side hall, have you seen Ran Eighteen Niang?" ”

Ran Yan paused slightly in her heart, thinking carefully about the situation that day, it seemed that she really didn't see Ran Meiyu's figure, only in the side hall, she saw Gao comforting Mrs. Ling, but it was not ruled out that she didn't notice Ran Meiyu, so she replied, "I didn't pay attention." ”

Ran Meiyu stared at Ran Yan with a look of resentment, "Ran Seventeen, you are vicious!" I was also in Magnolia Ju that day, you actually said that! ”

Ran Meiyu felt that at this time, no matter whether Ran Yan really saw her or not, she had to say that she saw it in order to get rid of her suspicion, but Ran Yan didn't say that, in her heart, she decided that Ran Yan wanted to frame her, if she hadn't retained a little reason, she would have rushed up and slapped Ran Yan a few times.

Ran Yan glanced at her coldly, "Do I have to see you?" ”

Ran Meiyu's face turned pale, and she looked at Ran Wen with a face full of grievances, "Aya! ”

Ran Wen was also a little unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't say anything about Ran Yan, so he only comforted, "Meiyu, if you are in Yulanju, there will always be someone to testify at that time, so don't panic." ”

Ran Meiyu felt a little relieved in her heart, and glanced back at Ran Yan proudly, but Ran Yan only lowered her eyes slightly, ignoring her provocation.

Liu Pin had a headache, Ran Meiyu said that she had broken nails because she was pushed down by Ran Yan in the flowers on the side of the winding path, and her nails didn't know what they had touched and were broken, but they had already sent someone to look for two or three hours during the day, and they hadn't found the broken half of the nails, and the maids of the Yin Mansion could prove that Ran Meiyu really fell, but no one could prove where her nails were broken.

I also sent people to ask other nobles before, only someone can prove that Ran Meiyu has been to Yulanju, but no one has seen her go to the side hall, so she has time to kill.

"The official asks again, Ran Eighteen Niang, you didn't go to the side hall that day, where did you go?" Liu Pinrang has asked this question many times, but Ran Meiyu has always been hesitant and does not answer positively, which is very strange.

Ran Meiyu pouted, "Is this important?" ”

Liu Pinrang's heart had already jumped to his feet, but he still said solemnly on his face, "Of course, if you don't say it, and no one can prove where you went during this time, you will become a major suspect!" ”

Ran Meiyu's face turned pale, she bit her lip, and said, "I talked to Yin Shilang in the Cool Breeze Pavilion for a while. ”

As soon as these words came out, the green tendons on Ran Wen's forehead suddenly burst out, because there were still many characters with heads and faces in the hall, he was inconvenient to be angry, and only glared at Ran Meiyu fiercely.

In the Tang Dynasty, private dating was nothing new, and private dating for life was also a legal marriage recognized by Tang Law, but the problem is that Yin Shilang was not a concubine, nor a concubine, let alone a descendant of the Yin family, his father was Yin Wenshu's half-brother, who was originally a concubine and had no reputation, and his mother was a maid! Because she gave birth to him, she was given the status of a concubine. Such an identity makes Ran Wen calm!

Freedom to marry is one thing, but how can there be real freedom when it is actually implemented? Especially a big family like the Ran clan.

Ran Meiyu peeked at Ran Wen's heavy anger, and her face turned even paler.

Ran Wen is not only worried about this one thing, there are so many people present, his daughter is asked about this kind of thing, where will his face go?

"In that case, this official will send someone to ask Yin Shilang, and you will go to the side hall to marquis." Liu Pinrang got up, asked Ran Meiyu to take her back to the wing room to guard, and led everyone out.

There were all men in front, Ran Yan walked behind, and he didn't know where to go, when suddenly a middle-aged man in a light green official uniform walked over and said in a low voice, "Ran Niangzi, Thorn Shi has other orders, please come with me." ”

Ran Yan glanced at him lightly, lowered his eyes and followed him to the side door.

"In Xia Yu Bohao, in charge of the state prison." Yu Bohao is thin and short, his facial features are still upright, his skin is white, he has a strong literati atmosphere, and he speaks very kindly, and he can't tell that he is the judge in charge of a state prison.

Ran Yan paused, bowed slightly, and said, "It turned out to be Yu Jusi, it's rude." ”

Yu Bohao couldn't help but look at Ran Yan twice, from beginning to end, this little lady had the same look, she couldn't see any waves, neither fear nor arrogance, a pair of eyes looked at people with a faint coldness, he was a little surprised, such a complexion, such a bearing, why has he been obscure?

"Please." Yu Bohao continued to lead Ran Yan to the back of the mansion, arrived at a quiet side courtyard, and said after entering the courtyard, "Lady Ran will wait a while, and the assassin will be there in a while." ”

Ran Yan wondered in her heart, why did Liu Tingshi invite her here alone so mysteriously? The questions that should have been asked have already been asked, although she showed some detective talent in front of him, but it was just the most ordinary analysis, but if she was a little more thoughtful, it was not difficult to think that she didn't think that Liu Tingshi would find herself to discuss the case.

Yu Bohao has been secretly observing Ran Yan's expression, seeing that she has been staring at her toes, her expression is more calm and cold than Fang Cai, there are a few lanterns lit around, the lights are flickering, and they fall on her face in a flickering light, the beauty is extremely beautiful, and it is also quite a bit lifeless.

Yu Bohao is in charge of the prison, and he often deals with the servants, and often has to personally watch the post-mortems at the scene, and those servants are about the same as Ran Yan's current expression when facing the corpse, serious and cold. And Feng Sanshi, who is an old man, has examined many corpses on his hands, and only then did he faintly form this kind of "dead face".

Yu Bohao suspected that Ran Yan had done a job in the past and had a lot of experience, but it didn't make sense, the girl in front of her was obviously only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was the daughter of the Ran family......

Just thinking about it, Liu Pinrang walked in quickly, and when he saw Ran Yan, his old face burst into a smile, "Seventeen Niang!" Come in with me. ”

Liu Pinrang also omitted greetings and hurriedly entered a room.

Yu Bohao also invited Ran Yan in, he was very curious, can Liu Tingshi really succeed in finding such a little lady? I won't be scared to my legs when I see a corpse! He didn't show it on his face, but he was skeptical in his heart.

When Ran Yan entered the house, he felt a cold wind hitting his face, and when he looked closely, there were many ice basins placed in the four corners of the house, and a wooden board was placed in the center, which was covered with a plain cloth, and a human figure was raised in the center, which was obviously a corpse.

According to a rough estimate, the corpse was eight feet long and had a burly physique. Ran Yan suddenly remembered the corpse that was inspected late at night last time-Yang Jusi. Liu Tingshi seems to be very concerned about the cause of Yang Jusi's death, as if the son of the county Cheng died, the family died, the maid died, and the noble girl became a suspect, and everything was not as important as Yang Jusi's death.

"Everything is ready for you." Liu Tingshi personally brought a small wooden box from the corner of the wall, and after opening it, he took out a pair of gloves, a mask, as well as soaphorns, atractylodes, and knives of various sizes, "This is the last time I saw the things in your box, and I ordered someone to specially create it, come and help the old man examine this corpse." ”

Ran Yan's eyebrows twitched, "Anatomy? ”

"Yes." Liu Pinrang stuffed the gloves into Ran Yan's hand, the smile on his face narrowed slightly, and said, "Are you still satisfied with your favor?" Your marriage to Qin Shilang will soon be settled......"

Liu Pinrang's subtext is: You won't suffer if you help me!

It's okay not to mention this stubble, mentioning this, Ran Yan's face turned dark, he put on his gloves and mask neatly, and said in a flat voice, "Thank you Liu Tingshi, you have a lot of favors, this time the autopsy is a gift, and Seventeen has nothing to ask for." ”

Ran Yan really didn't dare to let Liu Pinrang give back anything, and when the time came, I don't know how many things she couldn't handle, but she couldn't help it, in case this old man held a grudge, it would be even worse! So simply don't say a word about the autopsy.

Liu Pinrang coughed dryly twice, feeling that he had taken advantage of it, so he didn't care about Ran Yan's attitude. In fact, if he didn't want to hide people's eyes, he wouldn't have to take the trouble to get out of this ecstasy array, and he would directly find Feng Santen's autopsy, first, he had seen Ran Yan's technique, and second, Ran Yan's identity would not be noticed.
