"Dong Nuan, believe me, your mother is fine."

"Master, you didn't lie to me, did you!"

Liu Chang touched Dong Nuan's head and said, "Master won't lie to you." We're waiting, okay

？ Your mother will come back to you. ”

"Master, if my mother didn't come to me, could you go to my uncle's place to see if my mother was there."

"Who is your uncle?"

Dong Nuan thought about what her mother had said before, and replied: "I only remember that it is the Wen family in Jinling, and I don't know anything else." ”

Hearing Dong Nuan say this, Liu Chang had some questions, before Gu's mother told her that she was a member of the Shangguan family of the hidden family, and now Dong Nuan said that she was a member of the Wen family in Jinling, who was lying.

"Dong Nuan, tell me what else your mother said."

Although he didn't know what the reason for his master to ask this, Dong Nuan still answered.

"My mother said she was separated from her family when she was a child, and she didn't find her relatives until she grew up."

At this moment, Liu Chang figured it out, presumably Gu's mother was adopted by the Shangguan family after she got lost, so she didn't lie. But as a member of the Shangguan family, who would dare to do anything to Gu's mother!

"Dong Nuan, do you know someone from the Shangguan family, or your mother has said it before."

"No, I've never heard my mother say anything about the Shangguan family, and I don't remember seeing it."

Liu Chang was even more puzzled, what was the identity of Gu's mother, Dong Nuan didn't even know that her mother was from the Shangguan family, it wasn't Gu's mother who told a lie, but last time she obviously reminded herself that the hidden family had some intentions for the Zhao family's world, if she wasn't from the Shangguan family, how could she know so much.

"Dong Nuan, I'll go to the government to take a look, and I'll tell you as soon as there is news, don't know where you stay at home!"

"Okay, then master, come back soon."

When Liu Chang went out, Dong Nuan had been thinking nonsense, and at this time, Bai Shao walked in and said, "Miss, Young Master Shen is here again." ”

"Let him in!"

Bai Shao felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Shen Yancheng come in like this, so she asked, "However, the master said before that Young Master Shen was not allowed to get close to Miss. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't say it, the master won't know." At this time, Dong Nuan just wanted to find someone to talk about his mother, and Shen Yancheng came just in time at this time.

"Oh well! I'll bring Young Master Shen in. ”

When Shen Yancheng walked in, he saw Dong Nuan sitting on the bed, a little distraught, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Dong Nuan came back and replied: "I went to look for my mother today, but the house was on fire, and some people came out inside, and I was a little afraid that something had happened to my mother." ”

As soon as he heard this, Shen Yancheng was a little uneasy, he heard that there was a place on fire today, and there were dead people, is that what Dong Nuan said today.

"But it's the yard near the Splendid Workshop where I went today."

"You know, so do you know what the outcome is?" Shen Yancheng didn't know whether to tell Dong Nuan or not, and when he was thinking, Dong Nuan noticed Shen Yancheng's distraction and felt a little panicked.

"You say! What the hell is the news. Dong Nuan excitedly grabbed Shen Yancheng's arm and stared at him stunned, wanting to know what news Shen Yancheng had heard.

Seeing Dong Nuan so excited, Shen Yancheng couldn't bear it, so he said: "I heard that it was a dead person, but as for who it is, I don't know." ”

"Dead people, you mean dead people, no... No, I'm going to check it out! ”

Dong Nuan hurriedly got out of bed and was about to put on his shoes, when Shen Yancheng said: "Don't worry, if you want to go and see, you should go to the government office to ask for clarification, and I will take you over!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Cheng."

"This is the first time you've called me yourself, since you're going, hurry up!" At this time, Dong Nuan was very anxious, and naturally forgot that Liu Chang had gone to the mansion.

Bai Shao waited at the door until the two of them walked out, looking a little eager to go out, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what are you going to do, the master said that he wouldn't let you go out." ”

Speaking of Liu Chang, Dong Nuan remembered that his master had gone to the mansion, so he said, "I almost forgot, the master also went." ”

Dong Nuan was too excited just now, but now that he calmed down and thought about it, he realized that the master didn't tell him about the death, he deliberately wanted to hide it from himself, but why hide it from himself, it was really his mother who died.

The more she thought about it, the more flustered she became, and she wanted to see for herself.

"No, I'm going to check it out."

"Miss, Master......"

"I'll go find the master, and he's also in the mansion." Shen Yancheng now understands that compared to Liu Chang's concealment, Shen Yancheng feels that he still has to go with Dong Nuan, no matter what, Dong Nuan has the right to know the truth.

"You don't need to prepare the carriage, just take my carriage."

Bai Shao, who was not very worried about the warm winter, took the initiative to go with her. So the three of them got into the carriage together and hurried towards the palace.

After arriving, Shen Yan opened his mouth and said, "You are in the carriage first, and I will ask first." ”

Dong Nuan nodded, Shen Yancheng got out of the carriage, and walked in from the side door with Dong Nuan after a while.

There were many people in it, including Liu Chang, the prefect, and the people from the Criminal Prison Department.

As soon as he saw Shen Yancheng walking in with Dong Nuan, Liu Chang was a little angry, "Shen Yancheng, what are you doing with Dong Nuan." ”

This sentence frightened the people inside, and the prefect hurriedly asked, "This is your apprentice!" I heard that I accepted a female apprentice, but now I look at it, but she is very smart. ”

Now that they have met, they have begun to boast about the warmth of winter, but it is just because they want to relieve Shen Yancheng.

Liu Chang ignored the prefect and looked at Shen Yancheng directly, very angry.

It was Dong Nuan who spoke first: "Don't blame Brother Cheng, I want to come myself." I know that the master loves me and doesn't want to tell me some things, but I also have the right to know, and I don't want to be hidden. Master, although I am small, I am not as fragile as you think. ”

Liu Chang was shocked by these words, before he really thought that Dong Nuan was too young and there were some things that she shouldn't know, but he ignored that Dong Nuan's temperament was the same as her uncle, even if he knew the cruel truth, he didn't want hypocritical lies.

Liu Chang knew what to do at this time.

"Well, since you want to hear it, then listen to it! Come and sit next to me. ”

In the hall, the prefect was in the first place, and below was Liu Chang and some people from the Criminal Prison Division, and there was also a puppet standing next to him.

It wasn't until Shen Yancheng also sat down that the prefect spoke: "Let's talk back and forth." ”

"The subordinates are here."

"Tell me more about the results of your autopsy."

"Yes, the deceased was a male, about twenty and five years old, about one hundred and eighty centimeters, and although the body was found at the fire, it was not burned."

As soon as she heard this, Dong Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that it wasn't her mother, but she still wanted to find out why the fire broke out and why this person died there, whether it had anything to do with her mother.

"Are you sure?"

"The subordinates determined that he did not die from the fire, but was poisoned."

The prefect touched his beard, pretending to think, and after a while he spoke: "What kind of poison, can you find out?" ”

"It's interestless."

The people from the prison department on the side listened and were a little curious, and the person who was obviously the leader asked, "Are you sure?" Interestless poison is not common. ”

"Lord Wang, my subordinates are sure that this poison appeared when I was in Qinghe, although I am not sure where it came from, but this poison is indeed lifeless."

"This poison also appeared in Qinghe, but the person died?"

Hearing Lord Wang ask himself, he hesitated a little, and then the prefect asked: "Since I asked you, just answer truthfully, why are you still hesitant." ”

"It's not that the subordinates don't want to say it, it's just that the person who died is really valuable."

"Who the hell is it, you say!" The prefect was aggressive, just to know who the person in his mouth was.

In desperation, he said, "It's the wife of Xing Ji, the president of Qinghe Academy." ”

"But the one who was admitted to Tanhua and said that he wanted to return to his hometown in the main hall?"

"That's right, it's him. This young lady was also there at the time. He looked at Dong Nuan and said this, and suddenly everyone's eyes focused on Dong Nuan's body.

But Dong Nuan couldn't remember this matter at all, Liu Chang frowned when he saw this, and said: "She is a little girl, what can she know, since she knows, just ask him." ”

The prefect coughed and said, "Is the case solved?" ”

"Naturally, it is broken, and the murderer has been executed."

"In that case, there is no way to find out the origin of the poison."

Lord Wang opened his mouth and said, "Not necessarily, I know that there is a person who sells this poison in a place. ”

"How did Lord Wang find out?"

"It's not good to tell the prefect about this, but it's better to leave this case to us, after all, the prefect's subordinates are too poor."

This sentence suddenly became angry to the prefect, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Wang... This case is on my side, and when you come here today, I think why are we all officials of the same dynasty, and it's not good to not let you in, and now I want to meddle in my case, it's a little unsightly! ”

"If this is the case, am I still less involved in the prefect's case? As long as I report it, which time is not the case I solved, for the sake of trouble, this case is still good for me. ”

In fact, he is telling the truth, as the prefect of Kyoto, his existence is very embarrassing, there are no capable subordinates, there are people who are bigger than his official above, and those who are at the same level as himself also regard himself as a thorn in the side.

But what could he do? There is no money, and there is no relationship, and I can only suffer this grievance.

"What do you think?" At this time, the prefect wanted Liu Chang to help him speak, but as soon as Liu Chang opened his mouth, he felt that he had done something wrong.

"Prefect, I think it's better to leave it to Lord Wang!"

"Okay, since we all think so, then I don't care."
