Shen Ge, who grew up with the wolves and came out of the muddy alley, smiled at the man in front of him with flashing eyes, "Who is this big brother?"

Being smiled at by Shen Ge like this, the heart that the person who came had been carrying it was half relieved, "Below is the timber shop Gao Wanzhi in Gaozhuang in the west of the city."

"It turned out to be Big Brother Gao." Shen Ge moved to the side, pulled another chair and asked Gao Wanzhi to sit down, close to him, "Don't be afraid of big brother's jokes." Before the opening of the younger brother's auction house, he wandered around the west of the city to buy tables and chairs, and was so greedy by the batch of thick fragrant fir trees in the eldest brother's shop."

Speaking of that batch of fragrant fir trees, Gao Wanzhi's expression was different, and he straightened his waist and boasted of his medicinal materials, "Those fifty fragrant fir trees were bought and shipped back by me at a great price, and they can be counted as this in Xuanzhou City!"

Looking at the thumbs that Gao Wanzhi provoked and his nails were frozen blue, Shen Ge asked curiously, "If Brother Gao is short of silver flowers, he will sell the fragrant fir wood, why sell the family heirlooms?" My auction house is not a pawnshop, and I can't redeem what I have taken back."

Gao Wanzhi sighed, "I know the rules, if the wood can be sold at a good price, I won't be so difficult......

Seeing that Gao Wanzhi and Shen Ge were chatting excitedly, He Jiongming, the prince of King An, who was sitting high in the hall, smiled and saluted the businessman who toasted him.

Song Tianxiang, the young proprietor of the Song family, a pharmacist, got Shizi's response, and was so excited that he tilted his neck and dried the wine, and then the cup went down, letting Shizi show his sincerity.

He Jiongming held the cup in his right hand, covered his face with his left sleeve, raised his head and touched the wine with his lips, and his movements were noble and elegant. Although he didn't drink a drop of wine, he won the favor of the businessmen, and the atmosphere was a lot hotter.

The children of the family watched carefully and began to imitate He Jiongming's every move. After He Jiongming had enough of the envious and adoring gaze of everyone, he turned his head and asked Xuan Governor Shi Ye Changjun beside him, "This duke has read the file, Xu Luyuan's death is still somewhat related to the Lin family, a medicine merchant?"

Ye Changjun said solemnly, "Hui Shizi, it was the relatives of the Lin family, a medicine merchant, who confessed that Lord Xu instructed him to force the Lin family's slaves to poison, and now there are only human witnesses, no physical evidence."

He Jiongming bowed his head and ordered, "After the feast, the Lord will leave the Lin family behind, and there are some things I want to ask about Lord Xu's case."

This one......

Changshi Ye Changjun was a little embarrassed. Because the official who was transferred by the imperial court from Anzhou was Shi Xu Linglu, the governor of Anzhou, not the prince of Anwang. Even though He Jiongming's status is noble, but when it comes to the Xuanzhou case, Ye Changjun is not easy to decide, and he has to ask the Taishou who has left the table before he can decide.

He Jiongming lowered his eyes, and Xu Linglu, the secretary of Anzhou, immediately said, "It just so happens that Lord Geng from Chuzhou and Master Zheng from Hezhou are here, why don't I accompany the three of them and meet the Lin family?"

What is the meaning of "accompanying the son" to meet the Lin family? Geng Cunzhao, the general guard of Chuzhou, felt that Xu Linglu's words were very unpleasant, but before he could speak, Zheng Yongfu, the secretary of the state cang, had already preemptively said, "The investigation is important, and there are some things in the lowly position, I want to find out."

Two of the three investigating officials had agreed, and Geng Cunzhao had no choice but to nod. In all fairness, he also wants to get to the bottom of the case as soon as possible and go home for the New Year.

It seems that he didn't notice that He Jiongming left the table with a few officials, and Shen Ge continued to chat with Gao Wanzhi hotly. Xiao Lin, who was standing behind Shen Ge, quietly retreated.

Fang's and Lin Ruyu were taken by the official to the Yingchun Courtyard behind the Lamei Pavilion, and when they entered the house, they saw He Jiongming in a python robe sitting in the middle, and there were a few officials with faces standing beside them, so they knew that this was an official transferred by the imperial court from Sanzhou to investigate and interrogate Xu Luyuan's suicide case.

Xuanzhou Governor Shi Ye Changjun informed the Fang family of the official positions of all the people present, and explained the intention of calling them over today, so he turned his gaze to He Jiongming.

Ye Changjun has already understood, like Zheng Yongfu, the secretary of the state and Xu Linglu of Anzhou, they are all only the head of the prince of An. As for what Lord Geng from Chuzhou was thinking, Ye Changjun hadn't understood it yet.

Xu Linglu asked Fang a few routine questions before turning to the topic, and Fang dealt with it appropriately.

Fang's words, in a nutshell, are why Xu Luyuan died, the Lin family doesn't know; Whether Xu Luyuan was involved in the Lin family's slaves who poisoned 34 lives, the Lin family also did not know.

is a good housewife of the Lin family, she is really slippery

。 Xu Linglu frowned, even more expressionless, Zheng Yongfu secretly looked at the face of the prince.

Seeing that Shizi glanced at the girl of the Lin family twice, Zheng Yongfu coughed and asked, "Did Miss Lin see through Fang Caiwang's collusion with the mountain bandits?"

He Jiongming's gaze fell directly on Lin Ruyu, the little girl was dressed pink and tender today, like a little rabbit that had not yet grown its fur, which made people want to catch it and knead it.

Lin Ruyu saluted and replied, "Lord Hui, yes."

Zheng Yongfu continued to ask, "How did the girl see through it?"

Lin Ruyu had already answered these questions twice in the lobby, but she still answered them truthfully. Zheng Yongfu grabbed the details and asked repeatedly, and Lin Ruyu answered them one by one, which naturally mentioned fake An Ziyuan.

He Jiongming, who had never spoken, suddenly asked, "The fake An Ziyuan that the girl said was sent by the Yati of Xia Cai County, the murderer of the old servant of the An family?"

Lin Ruyu's tone didn't change, "Yes."

He Jiongming played with the jade buckle hanging from his waist with his hand, and asked, "Girl, do you know why the murderer pretended to be An Ziyuan?"

Lin Ruyu shook her head, "The folk girl doesn't know."

He Jiongming said gently, "The girl can say whatever she thinks, the murderer has pretended to be someone else, and it can almost be a real evil art, if you don't capture it as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles."

Isn't it easy to capture fake An Ziyuan? Just hang a noose around your own neck. You won't be able to do it yourself, so I'll let this girl hang it up for you.

Lin Ruyu looked at the floor tiles under her feet, respectfully with less uncertainty, "That person once went to Wusha Town to visit Mr. Dongzhu, but Mr. Dongzhu had already gone out to visit friends at that time. After not meeting Mr., he returned to Xia Cai by boat, and when he passed through Hao Lianzhai in Qi County, he sent his men to help the people rescue their mother and younger brother. So ......."

He Jiongming held the jade buckle and raised his phoenix eyes to look at Lin Ruyu.

Lin Ruyu seemed to have mustered up enough courage before she raised her head to look at He Jiongming and said sincerely, "Although the folk girl doesn't know why the murderer pretends to be An Ziyuan, he is willing to help the folk girl save her family. Therefore, the folk girl felt that he pretended to be An Ziyuan, and there must be a reason for it. The killing of the old servant of the An family is not necessarily his doing, please let the prince know."

Several officials next to him showed disapproving looks, and He Jiongming's eyes lit up a little. Fang pretended to be frightened, and saluted and asked for sin, "Little girl, please forgive the prince and all the adults."

He Jiongming saw that Lin Ruyu lowered his little head, the smile in his eyes became stronger, and he said gently, "Is it my father-in-law who allows her to say whatever she wants, what is the crime?"
