Since Ye Lingwu went out of Yuzhou, he rarely took his own initiative to carry Mrs. Shen or Mama Xuan out of the mansion, but today is more special, and the Zhizhou Mansion wants to be a place where one party is the official in charge.

If you change to other places, there must be female officials, but in the Huainan area, female officials are not common, and even men and women are very strict in avoiding suspicion, yes, Ye Lingwu wants to go to the Zhizhou Mansion to find someone It is best to bring a small servant, but who can you find?

"Thank you, Miss Lingwu, it's just that you suddenly remembered to bring soup to the little one?" Sycamore scratched her head shyly.

Ye Lingwu put the empty bowl in the warm box, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wutong, I've known you for a long time, I want to go to a place today, can you accompany me on a trip?" ”

Wutong hesitated: "What place?" Can't Sister Rongxiu accompany the girl? ”

Ye Lingwu said lightly: "Sister Rongxiu is injured, recently I asked her to take care of her in bed, except for Sister Rongxiu in this Ningbei Hou Mansion, I have no one to trouble with, and the only person I can think of is Brother Wutong." ”

Wutong thought for a while, and said in a sonorous voice: "Okay, the little one will accompany Miss Lingwu on a trip." It's just that. I don't know where Miss Lingwu is going? ”

Ye Lingwu smiled: "Zhizhou Mansion." ”

"Zhizhou Mansion?!" Sycamore exclaimed, "Where to do what?" ”

"I have something I want to ask Scholar Jiang."

"When did Miss Lingwu and Scholar Jiang also meet?"

"It's not that I know him, I'm really looking for him with something important."

Wutong hesitated for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.

In the afternoon, Wutong drove a pony car to take Ye Lingwu to the Zhizhou Mansion. In order to avoid people's eyes, the two still slipped through the back door.

The two corners of the eaves of the Zhizhou Mansion were high, and Ye Lingwu looked up when he came out of the carriage wearing a hat.

Wutong moved a little faster, and went to greet the guards guarding the door first, and the guards learned that it was the cousin girl from the Ningbei Hou Mansion who came to find the Jiang scholar, and immediately entered the mansion to report.

After a while, the guard came out again and led Ye Lingwu to the mansion. Sycamore stayed in the carriage.

There is a plaque hanging in the lobby of "Mirror Bright and High", under the plaque are two Taishi chairs, and there is a square table with paper, pen and ink inkstone in the middle, and the furnishings in the room are like that, revealing the solemnity of the Lingren.

In addition to Xuanzhizhou, there are several adults in the hall.

When Scholar Jiang saw someone coming, he got up with a smile and said, "Why did Miss Ye come to Jiang today?" ”

Ye Lingwu blessed everyone and said: "I am here to prove that Taifu Lou alone went to find the Lord of Baili that day, and I don't know when the Lord of Baili had an accident, but I saw two people come out of a room that night. ”

Scholar Jiang's expression suddenly became solemn, and before he could speak, Xuan Zhizhou stood up first and hurriedly asked, "Is what this girl said true?" ”

Ye Lingwu turned to look at Xuan Zhizhou, and said solemnly: "The sentence is true, there was indeed a person who came out of the house of the Lord of Baili later than Taifu Lou that night. ”

Several adults looked at each other, as if they were all considering the truth of Ye Lingwu's words.

An adult was dissatisfied: "When the guards reported just now, I also listened carefully, this Ye girl is from the Ningbei Hou Mansion, since it is the Ningbei Hou Mansion, it is a person from the capital court." ”

The rest of the words did not be said explicitly, but the meaning is self-evident, not only those famous nobles in the Huainan area are not in agreement with the imperial court in the capital, but also from the ordinary people to the governor's mansion, and there are quite objections to the current majesty, which is also a problem left over from history.

As soon as this adult's words came out, the expressions of the others obviously showed disdain, Ye Lingwu then understood, no wonder Lou Zhaorao was in such a hurry, these people were obviously preconceived, and they had already sentenced Mrs. Lou to death before they could reach a conclusion.

Scholar Jiang glanced at those adults lightly, looked at Ye Lingwu and said: "Master Li's words are wrong, although Miss Ye is from the Hou Mansion of Ningbei, but she has no direct contact with Mrs. Lou, we all want to find out this matter and give the Baili family justice, if the misjudgment allows the real murderer to get away with it, is there still truth in this world?" What does Your Majesty want us to know the state government for? ”

Master Li was deflated and looked ugly.

There seemed to be a silent fog in the lobby.

Anyone who is familiar with or has been with Jiang Yuan knows that he seems to be a little morbid and weak, his tone is soft and lazy, but in fact, his words are sharp, and he will not take half a step back as long as he is reasonable.

Just one sentence of "what's the use of knowing the state mansion" made everyone shut up, which seems simple, but it is actually very meaningful.

The cities in the Southern Regions have always been the governor's mansion, unlike the northern Xinjiang and other places where there are princes or generals guarding them, and so is Yu Sucheng, which has been troubled by the imperial court of the capital, hindering those famous nobles, and the only way for His Majesty to restrain them is to confiscate military power.

Xuan Zhizhou reacted and sighed: "Scholar Jiang's words are good. Miss Ye, since you have witnessed two people entering the study of the Lord of Baili one after another, do you remember the appearance of the other person? ”

Ye Lingwu thought about it, subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yuan, and replied: "I didn't see it when it was too late, but that person should be a middle-aged man, slightly chubby, and not tall, if he looks ...... I don't remember exactly. ”

Master Li snorted coldly, and said: "There are more people like Miss Ye you described, and there are a lot of people in this room, right, Lord Luo, Lord Wu?" ”

“.” Lord Luo and Lord Wu: Fake smiles.

Master Li didn't give up, and continued to say aggressively: "Miss Ye also saw it, according to what you said, the scope of the suspect is not small, could it be that because of your words, we still have to turn Yu Sucheng out to find it?" ”

Ye Lingwu was speechless.

When I was a child, I thought that the officials were people who knew right from wrong, and later followed Song Lao to the yamen a few times, and found that there were a lot of straw bales among those who were officials in the yamen.

"What Master Li said is good, but since there are clues, you have to find them, could it be that the official family of the Zhizhou Mansion ate for nothing?" Jiang Yuan's tone was natural, without much ups and downs, but it gave people an invisible deterrent.

Master Li straightened his neck and roared, "Scholar Jiang has a lot of relationship with this Ye girl, and he defends her everywhere. Get? How can there be so much time to find someone now, if it weren't for our Lord Zhizhou hurriedly going to the imperial court, now that Lou Taifu is afraid that hundreds of holes have been poked out, and the Baili family can put a lot of pressure on us for this matter. ”

"Master Lee." Jiang Yuan looked at him with his eyes wide open, and his tone was sincere, "You have to understand that you are an official of the imperial court, not a small guy who acts according to the face of a famous family in Huainan, there are many suspicious points in the case of the Lord of Baili, we detain the suspect, and at the same time have to protect the suspect, this is the duty of the official." ”

Master Li blushed and retorted wordlessly.
