After settling her home, Mo Lan set out on her way to the academy.

She didn't have to take the entrance test, and she wasn't in a hurry, she rode her horse staggeringly forward, occasionally going to fight with spirit beasts and adding new species to the space.

Bai Yu is now very large, controlling the spirit beasts in the space, and from time to time he comes out to bully the spirit beasts outside.

When he is not in the capital, Mo Lan lets it come out to breathe, he usually turns into a little milk dog, and as soon as he comes out, he will run away with joy.

Every time he came back, he brought back the corpse of the spirit beast to Mo Lan and let her roast and eat it.

After four or five days of driving, both men and horses were a little tired.

"After traveling for so long, it's time to rest, Bai Yu, take you to eat something delicious."

As soon as Mo Lan entered the city, he saw an acquaintance, who was dressed in white and fluttering, with a jade crown and his hair, holding a pile of account books in his hand, shaking his head frequently, and saying something to the shopkeeper of the inn.

walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder with a fan, "My son came here to eat and drink, I don't know if Master Shen will give him an account!" ”

Shen Shiyuan heard the familiar voice and turned his head in some surprise.

"Lan'er, why are you here?"

Mo Lan put her hands behind her back, "There are still a few days before the academy starts, so I'll ride around and go slowly." ”

"Brother Shen, why did you come here at this time?"

Shen Shiyuan took out a box from his arms and put it in front of her: "I'll reconcile the accounts, and it hasn't been long since I arrived." ”

Mo Lan opened the box, and inside was a jade hairpin that had always been delicate, carved into the shape of a lotus flower.

"Let's go, please let me drink!" She put the hairpin back in the box, hooked Shen Shiyuan's shoulder, and swaggered up to the second floor.

"Phew!"

A screen was moved in the lobby downstairs, and an old man walked out of the back hall, and he couldn't see what he looked like.

"Anyway, our Zhizhou Gan Rui of Liushan Prefecture has married five ladies before and after, and he will marry a sixth lady in the near future, you are objective and listen to me carefully."

It turned out that Gan Rui's previous wives had died, and later asked the fortune teller to come and see the eight characters, which turned out to be too prosperous, and ordinary women married him without this blessing, and they had to be noble women.

The previous wives were either merchant women or lowly officials in the family. Two months ago, when the assassin of Heding Mansion heard about this, he asked his daughter-in-law to marry him.

Some of the people in the entire state capital silently ridiculed, and some people envied him for entering the high gate.

Only he is himself, he is not shocked, he is diligent every day, and he is also kind and polite to the people.

However, she remembered that the current assassin of Heding Mansion was Lou Zonghan, and Lou crowned his father.

That Lou Zhuo Ying is half a year older than her, and she is married to a Zhizhou, which can be regarded as a lower marriage.

After playing for a few days, just as Mo Lan was about to say goodbye, Shen Shiyuan received an invitation from Gan Ruizhi.

Out of curiosity, Mo Lan planned to follow him to meet the big red man.

Mo Lan sat in the carriage of the Shen family and followed Shen Shiyuan to the Zhizhou Mansion.

The wedding banquet is not taboo for men and women to sit together, so when Mo Lan sat next to Shen Shiyuan, some young ladies of the family were eager to stare at her and come out.

The auspicious time has not yet arrived, and it is already full of friends. Suddenly, firecrackers crackled outside, and the newcomer came.

That Gan Ruizhi is about thirty years old, and at this moment it is the spring breeze on his face, holding the red silk, and walking forward step by step with the bride.

However, the two above the high hall didn't look very happy, and the smiles on their faces were squeezed out.

Maybe this son has been married too many times and is already tired.

However, during the banquet, Mo Lan heard more gossip.

These people can't keep their mouths idle while eating.

It is said that Gan Rui's wife married one after another, and she either died or disappeared.

Now he is also married to the daughter of the assassin, maybe the assassin sent his daughter to suppress him.

Later, the more he talked about it, the more outrageous it became, until Gan Ruizhi came over to toast, and the man kept mocking in his mouth.

Gan Ruizhi didn't care, raised his glass and looked around, drank it all and went to another table.

There are always these people in this world, who hate others and laugh at others.

On the second day, the whole state was immersed in the joy of Zhizhou's wedding, and with it, Gan Ruizhi was imprisoned.

Zhuo Ying died in the Zhizhou Mansion last night.

According to the next person, this young lady is quite domineering, and last night she didn't pick Xipa and gave Gan Ruizhi a dismount, and then the two quarreled, and Gan Ruizhi was so angry that he broke out of the door directly and went to sleep in another courtyard.

Early in the morning, when the servant went to call Lou Zhuoying, he found that she was dead, and the things in the room were smashed into a mess.

Lou Zonghan was furious and sent troops to arrest Gan Ruizhi and asked him why he killed his daughter.

Fortunately, the prefect Liu Xuezhou stopped him, otherwise Gan Ruizhi would have been buried with Lou Zhuoying at this moment.

Mo Lan listened to this gossip, and always felt strange, with the power of the Lou family, there was no need for Gan Ruizhi to kill Lou Zhuoying.

Hearing the mysterious appearance of Gong Jin's cultivation god that day, Mo Lan always felt that this thing was strange.

The emperor asked the Lou family to go south again and again, if it was armed, Lou Zonghan should be low-key, how could he marry his daughter in a high-profile manner, and make a murder.

Shen Shiyuan saw her frowning, and poked her head with a smile, "So curious, then go and take a look, I heard that Lou Guanjue was guarding the yamen with his double hammer, and whenever the people of the Gan family got closer, they were all blasted far away by him with thunder and lightning." ”

Gan Ruizhi was wearing a wooden flail, his hair was loose, and he still had no wedding clothes on his body, and Liu Xuezhou was holding Lou Zonghan when Mo Lan entered.

Wang Tongju was trying to snatch the knife from his hand......

Lou Guanjue was full of bruises and red eyes, standing beside Mo Lan, "It's this wolf-hearted thing, who coaxed my sister to marry him when he was old, but killed her on the wedding night!" ”

Mo Lan patted him on the shoulder, "Mourning." ”

Although he was embarrassed, Gan Ruizhi still straightened his back, and no matter how Lou Zonghan kicked him, he didn't dodge.

Mo Lan couldn't stand it anymore, and asked, "Did you quarrel with Lou Zhuoying last night, and if so, why?" ”

"Last Night'......"

Gan Ruizhi walked to the door of the new house drunk and hazy, but the door was closed, and he only closed the door when it was cold and Miss Lou was delicate.

When he was about to push the door in, he found that the door had been locked from the inside, so he slammed the door.

Then he called the housekeeper to bang on the door, and when it was opened, Lou Zhuoying put on her head in a panic and sat back on the edge of the bed.

Gan Ruizhi saw that she was a little disheveled, and the maid on the side was also very nervous, so she couldn't help but be suspicious.

But on the night of candles in the cave room, he didn't think much about it, and he picked up the scale rod and was about to remove the hijab, but Lou Zhuoying dodged again and again, making him impatient.

lifted her hijab, but she looked at him defensively.

Gan Ruizhi couldn't help but be angry, but she was the daughter of the assassin, and she didn't dare to do anything, so she went to another courtyard alone.

It wasn't until dawn that he heard the noise outside that he knew that Lou Zhuoying was dead.

"You have witnesses to prove that you didn't come back to your new house last night."

"Yes, everyone on duty last night can prove it for me!" Gan Ruizhi knelt on the ground, his face tense. The chin was also slightly retracted, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Witness!"

There is nothing wrong with the testimony of the witnesses, which also proves that Gan Ruizhi did not lie, and there is an alibi.

But these people are all from his family, and they can't help but lie.
