Chapter 8 Inch by inch

Yan Zheng didn't pursue the truth of her words, but just turned his head to look at the destroyed carriage, and raised his hand to ask for guilt: "The arrest of the suspect disturbed the county lord, and I hope the county lord will not blame him for destroying the carriage, the road is far away, let the county lord send the county lord back to his house!" ”

Nguyen Minh Jiao: ......

Her body shook, and she resisted in her heart, but in fact she did the same, waving her hand to refuse, "No need, Yan Yushi is busy with official business, so I won't bother the adults, the county lord is looking for two carriages!" ”

Yan Zheng didn't move, but his eyes stared at her directly, as if he wanted to see through her, Ruan Mingjiao's heart was furious.

……

In the carriage, Ruan Mingjiao was sitting precariously, not daring to raise her head, restraining her breathing and trying to reduce her sense of existence.

However, the person on the other side didn't seem to want to do what she wanted, and he kept staring at her from the moment he got into the carriage, and the more he stared at her, the more weak he became, and in the end he couldn't bear to raise his head and stare back, holding his neck with a posture of who was afraid of whom.

"Lord Yan, do you have flowers on the county lord's face? From the moment you got in the car, you stared at the county lord like this. ”

Yan Zheng didn't seem to expect her to stare back, a pair of dark eyes with points stubborn and questioning, as if there was some kind of charm, just one glance at Yan Zheng was a little distracted, but for a moment, his eyes suddenly cleared up and pulled back a little reason.

He retracted his gaze, lifted the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Ruan Mingjiao, "County Lord, please!" ”

Ruan Mingjiao looked at him with a pale face, withdrew the suspicion in her heart and took the teacup, but she only held it in her hand.

"There is no eyebrow on the assassination of the county lord, and it is better to be cautious when going out." Yan Zheng glanced at the teacup she held in her hand and raised her eyes to look at her.

"Thank you Lord Yan for your concern, the assassin case is decided by the people of the Criminal Department, and it shouldn't be a matter for the county lord to worry about." Ruan Mingjiao couldn't hear what he meant, but looking at his eyes, he always felt a little provocative.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the man on the other side sneered as if he had heard some joke, "Criminal Department, those wastes?" ”

Yan Zheng said, leaning forward, Ruan Mingjiao's body stiffened, the face of the man in front of her reflected directly in her eyes, and the snort was full of the sandalwood fragrance on the man's body, domineering and strong.

As soon as her breath stagnated, the back of her neck was pulled back when she was about to lean back, and the distance between the two seemed to be closer than Fang Cai, the two eyebrows and eyes were close to each other, and the corners of Yan Zheng's mouth pursed a meaningful smile, "The county lord seems to be very afraid of the lower officials?" ”

Ruan Mingjiao trembled, as if confirming his words, she pretended to be calm, and tried her best to pull the distance between the two of them in the distance of a few minutes, "Yan Zheng, don't want to get an inch!" ”

"What if I want it?"

Ruan Mingjiao looked up at him as if she was being forced to be in a hurry, without the slightest timidity of Fang Cai, and her eyes were cold.

She seemed to be very satisfied, he suddenly let go of Ruan Mingjiao and sat up, his body trembled a little with laughter, and it took a long time to stop, and he didn't forget to comment, "County Lord, you are so interesting!" ”

Ruan Mingjiao: Your uncle! Ruan Mingjiao couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, and couldn't help swearing in her heart that Yan Zheng's pervert could stay away.

Yan Zheng didn't guess what she thought in her heart, after quieting down, she opened a corner of the car curtain, and looked out, the carriage had left Xicheng, and the market was getting more and more lively, but there was still nothing new as usual, Yan Zheng took a few glances and lowered the curtain.

When he came in again, his expression was calm, and his eyes were slightly squinted with a bit of calculation, "County Lord, if you can trust it, the assassin matter will be investigated by the officials, and the gang of people in the Criminal Department have been lazy and accustomed to being raised by the court in the past few years, and they don't do practical things with their money, so they are afraid that there will be no result if they go to check the Year of the Monkey." ”

Ruan Mingjiao frowned, she never expected him to change his face so quickly, and it was even more inexplicable to listen to his words again. She was calm on her face, but in fact, she beat a drum in her heart, thought for a while, and then fell on Yan Zheng and said tentatively, "In the past, because of your brother, the county lord did not give you a stumbling block, but Lord Yan even wanted to help the county lord track down the assassin regardless of the previous suspicions, Yan Zheng, do you really hate me?" ”

She stared at Yan Zheng with sharp eyes, looked at his expression carefully, trying to find out what was wrong with Yan Zheng, she didn't think that this crazy criticism could really ignore the past suspicions, in case she was cheated, she would have no place to cry.

However, she is still too tender, how can a scheming man like Yan Zheng easily expose his emotions, his expression is indifferent, and he is unusually calm, "The county lord said and laughed, the county lord is above ten thousand people, and the noble girl is extremely respected, the county lord does not need to find a reason to punish the lower officials, and the lower officials do not dare to be resentful!" ”

"Besides, the lower officials are not without selfishness."

Nguyen Minh Jiao: ...... Sure enough, he just said that he didn't help himself so easily.

She raised her eyebrows, and looked at Yan Zheng with an inquiry, "Lord Yan might as well say something directly." ”

"If it is successful, I hope that the county lord will be the prince and Lingzun as a recommendation."

Speaking of business, Yan Zheng looked solemn and bowed to Ruan Mingjiao.

Prince...... Ruan Mingjiao frowned, Yan Zheng has always been the prince's person, she knows this, but the prince's reputation has always been uneven, some people think that the prince is clear and honest, but some people think that the prince is too ruthless, and the killing aura on his body is too heavy, not suitable for being a king.

Her father is the second type of person, and her father Shoufu has always been unwilling to participate in political disputes, there has never been a team, the prince and other princes are helpless but they dare not act rashly, for fear that a mistake will make others and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Yan Zheng came to give a lecture to the prince, her eyes rolled, and she pretended to be a little incomprehensible, "Lord Yan, my father is a minister, if His Royal Highness the Prince wants to see my father, he can call him at any time." Where do you need a referral from the lord of this county? ”

"The county lord's ability to pretend to be stupid is really getting more and more powerful." Knowing that she was pretending to be stupid, Yan Zheng didn't care much, staring at Ruan Mingjiao with black eyes, with a little coercion in her eyes, and after a while, she sneered coldly, and looked away to end the conversation between the two completely.

Ruan Mingjiao breathed a long sigh of relief, this is more tiring than her going to work, calculating and calculating, for fear that if she said something wrong, she would be caught by Yan Zheng, she must have not looked at the yellow calendar before going out today, so unlucky to meet Yan Zheng, an old enemy.

After the two ended their unpleasant chat, time passed quickly, and the guards who were driving the carriage seemed to have received a will to deliberately drive the carriage faster, and finally arrived outside the Shoufu Mansion after a cup of tea, Yan Zheng didn't have time to speak, he saw the person opposite quickly get up and open the curtain and rushed out, leaving him without a look from beginning to end.

Yan Zheng: ......

As soon as Ruan Mingjiao went out, before the person could stand firmly, she saw a few people standing on the stairs not far away, Yuan Ying stood aside and didn't even see her come out, she shook her body and didn't dare to step on the small stool and get out of the carriage.

As soon as she stood firmly, Ruan Qingshan walked up to them, and there was a young man in brocade standing next to her, she didn't dare to look at it and quickly lowered her head, and saluted obediently, "Dad!" ”

Ruan Qingshan glanced at her, snorted coldly, his eyes contained a hint of suppressed anger, and Ruan Mingjiao's weak underground head retreated to the side.

Xu heard Ruan Qingshan's voice, Yan Zheng, who had been watching the play, finally got out of the car, and when he saw Ruan Qingshan, he acted calmly, ignoring the disdain and hostility in Ruan Qingshan's eyes.

"Lord Shoufu, Master Hou!"

After he finished saluting Ruan Qingshan, he saluted the brocade-clothed man beside him, and the etiquette was so thoughtful that people couldn't find fault with it.

Ruan Mingjiao: Pretending to be quite like the thing, looking like a jade-faced boy doesn't seem to be harmful, but in fact he is very stingy, insidious and terrifying, and he really can't look at people's faces.

"Lord Yan is polite, but this official heard that the Metropolitan Procuratorate caught a fugitive in Xicheng today, how could he come back with the little girl." Ruan Qingshan glanced coldly and moved his gaze away, but he did not give in to his words.

Yan Zheng chuckled, turned his eyes to look at Ruan Mingjiao, who was standing aside, his eyes were ambiguous, and there was an unclear smile on the corner of his mouth, "Coincidentally, when the lower official arrested the fugitive, he happened to meet the county lord, and the fugitive destroyed the county lord's carriage, and as an apology, the lower official personally sent the county lord back, and returned to the adult, don't blame!" ”

"In this case, the lower officials have thanked Lord Yan first!" Although Ruan Qingshan bowed and thanked him, his face was still cold and alienated.

Yan Zheng didn't care, only bowed slightly.

"Sister Mingjiao, the fugitive is extremely cruel, where have you been injured?"

The brocade-clothed man on the side, that is, Wudu Hou, heard Yan Zheng's panic, his face was shocked, he pulled Ruan Mingjiao to look at her all over, and asked with some concern.

Yan Zheng raised his eyes and saw Wudu Hou holding Ruan Mingjiao's hand, his eyes shrank suddenly, and a trace of killing intent flashed.

Ruan Mingjiao was also taken aback by his sudden intimacy, but her brain knew that the person in front of her was Pei Jing, Marquis of Wudu, who inherited the title and was in full favor.

She endured the discomfort, dodged his hand quietly, and chuckled: "Brother Lao Jing remembers, when Mingjiao met the fugitive, he had already been subdued by Lord Yan, and Mingjiao did not meet him head-on. ”

Brother Pei? Yan Zheng raised his eyebrows, there was a burst of contempt in his eyes, and his eyes fell on Pei Jing, "Master Hou just returned to Beijing not long ago?" How do you have time to come to the Shoufu Mansion. ”

Pei Jing felt a sharp gaze fall on him, as if he was about to stare him out of a hole, but before he could look for it, his master took the lead in opening his mouth.

He chuckled, as warm as a spring breeze, full of fairy aura all over his body, and said lightly: "As soon as I entered the city, I heard that Mingjiao's sister was injured, and I was going to come to see it, but Mingjiao has been asleep, and as soon as I heard that she woke up, I came over." ”

"That's the case, the relationship between the Hou Ye and the county lord is really good."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Ruan Mingjiao, who was agitated and bowed his head a little weakly.

Ruan Mingjiao: No, what am I guilty of?

Yan Zheng retracted his gaze and bowed, "Lord Shoufu, Master Hou, there are still things in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so the lower officials won't bother and leave!" ”

"Master Yan, go slowly!"

A few people watched Yan Zheng's carriage drive away from the alley, Ruan Mingjiao just breathed a sigh of relief, Ruan Qingshan called, "What are you doing in a daze, don't you see Wuduhou soon!" ”
