Chapter 204: Step by step
"Why is that?"
Chai Jingnan asked with a puzzled blink.
Zhou Zhen looked at his eyes full of love and patiently explained,
"That's because if we go and arrest him now, then Ma Ye will definitely find out that something is wrong if he knows that he is gone, and it will inevitably startle the snake. So when the news of Lord Nuan Cui's death spreads tomorrow, then Yang Ruilin sees that the mission is completed, there is no need to stay here, and when he leaves, I will let go and catch him, so that I will bring him back unknowingly and unknowingly. ”
"Grandpa Zhou has a point, but in that case, we will have to stay here all the time, what will we do in the house?"
Chai Jingnan reminded.
Zhou Zhen smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder,
"Jing'er, go back first, stay by Mrs. Xiangxiang's side and protect her well. There should be a lot of things tomorrow, and only with you staying in the house and Grandpa Zhou can you rest easy. As for the matter of arresting that Yang Ruilin, leave it to me. ”
"But, Grandpa Zhou, have you been guarding outside his mansion like this? How hard is that? ”
Chai Jingnan asked with some concern.
Zhou Zhen knew that he was a very considerate child, so he smiled slightly,
"Don't worry, don't say it's summer at this time, even if it's in the cold of Sanjiu, Grandpa Zhou will be fine if he stays outside for a few days."
"Then, Grandpa Zhou, you must be careful."
Chai Jingnan still instructed uneasily.
Zhou Zhen nodded and said,
"Go back quickly, in fact, you should be more careful, you must protect Mrs. Luxiang."
"Well, Jing'er knows."
As he spoke, he turned his head and walked away, disappearing from Zhou Zhen's field of vision in an instant......
The next day, an astonishing news spread through the streets and alleys of Guiyang Mansion
Honshu's consolation caused Nuan Cui to pass away last night.
People really couldn't believe what they had heard, and there was a lot of discussion everywhere, some were puzzled, some sighed, and many people ran to the door of the Xuanfu Mansion to see if it was true.
At this time, the consolation envoy was in the house, from top to bottom, and the warm and green mourning hall was set up in the main hall. When she got up in the morning, after Hao Xiang had led all the attendant servants to burn incense for Nuan Cui and make a memorial service, Chai Jingnan accompanied her to keep a vigil in front of the hall.
There was an endless stream of people who came to pay their respects, and finally the hated Ma Ye came unexpectedly, and there were two other people who came with him.
Chai Jingnan glanced at them and saw the two people who were following Ma Ye, one of them turned out to be that Yang Ruilin, and the other Gu Ma Ye introduced that he was his personal lieutenant.
When I saw him, there was almost no expression on his face, until he saluted himself, and then he returned the salute.
"My family unfortunately died, and I also worked for Lord Ma's driver to come in person, I really dare not take it."
"Madame, why be polite, how can I say that I and Lord Nuan Cui have worked together, how can I not come and take a look if something like this happens?"
Ma Ye's tone of voice seemed yin and yang, and at first glance, he knew that he was deliberately trying to stir up trouble.
Xiangxiang always remembered Nuan Cui's dying instructions in her heart, so she didn't take it to heart at all, and turned a deaf ear to everything he said, just as if he didn't exist.
The scene cooled down all of a sudden, looking a little embarrassed, and Yang Ruilin on the side saw it and reminded,
"Shouldn't you go over and offer incense?"
"Ah, by the way, look how I forgot,"
Then, Ma Ye turned to the luxury fragrance road again,
"Madame, can you allow this official to put incense on the pillar for Lord Nuancui?"
"Your Excellency, please."
While talking, Lu Xiang turned around and said to Chai Jingnan,
"Jing'er, make incense for Master Ma."
"Yes."
Chai Jingnan, who had been kneeling on the side, agreed, stood up, stepped forward and took three pillars of incense, held it in front of Ma Ye with both hands, and said,
"Your Excellency, please."
Seeing that the young man in front of him was the one who had held him hostage, Ma Ye involuntarily felt a trace of cold air on his neck, and subconsciously took a step back before taking the incense and walking to the spirit to light it and insert it in the incense burner.
And Yang Ruilin seemed to have guessed something, looked at Chai Jingnan curiously, and suddenly asked in a pure Shuzhong accent,
"This little brother is very kind-faced, I don't know if I've ever been to Qingcheng?"
"Naturally, I've been there,"
When Chai Jingnan spoke, he actually changed into a Shuzhong accent with him,
"So what? I don't seem to have seen you. ”
"Well, maybe I recognized the wrong person."
Yang Ruilin's face was a little embarrassed, and he took a few steps back.
Chai Jingnan glanced at him, ignored him and returned to his position as a guardian, but he knew very well in his heart that this guy was here to test the truth.
Ma Ye glanced at Yang Ruilin with some amusement, and said,
"I wonder who will hand over the affairs of this mansion after the death of Lord Nuan Cui?"
"Do you need to ask?"
Extravagant fragrance does not show weakness and authenticity,
"I'm a deputy ambassador, since the adults are gone, I will naturally act as my agent."
"Oh?"
Because he was not used to this tradition, Ma Ye was stunned at first, but as soon as he thought about it, this was indeed logical, so he snorted coldly and said in a little anger,
"Okay, the official business left by Nuan Cui will be handled by you, Madame, I hope you don't make a mistake!"
After speaking, he waved his hand,
"Let's go!"
took Yang Ruilin and the deputy general out of the mansion and left.
Coming to the door and getting on the horse, Ma Ye glanced at Yang Ruilin and said,
"Brother Yang, didn't you say to investigate? Now that I've been here, what is the result of the investigation? ”
"The result? It's that Nuan Cui is indeed dead, and he died from the kind of poison that you and I gave him. ”
Yang Ruilin said proudly.
Ma Ye was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked,
"How do you know?"
"That's because anyone who is poisoned by the 'January Return' and dies of poison will exude a peculiar vanilla smell after death,"
Yang Ruilin sneered and said,
"Although the smell of incense and candles on the mourning hall just now, I still smell the smell of poisonous hair, but I don't know why his poisonous onset was delayed."
"If that's the case, then God really has eyes."
Ma Ye also smiled proudly.
But the two smug people didn't notice, and the adjutant general who had been following them frowned slightly.
"Oh, yes, and the kid,"
Yang Ruilin suddenly remembered Chai Jingnan and Dao,
"I really haven't seen that kid, but looking at his appearance, he has indeed lived in Shuzhong. Alas, this is not accurate. ”
"Yes,"
Ma Ye looked at his troubled appearance, and once again showed a very funny expression and snorted,
"And where are you going next?"
"Where else can I go? Nuan Cui is dead, and the agreement between you and me is over, of course I have to go back to Qingcheng to find out who that little ghost is. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Ruilin's expression became terrifying, and he said,
"Yang said goodbye, and I wish Master Ma a smooth fulfillment of his wish."
After saying that, he did not look back and went away...... 2k reading web
