Because of Pei Zheng's cold face on the carriage, Jiang Mingzhi didn't dare to move, and Yu Guang glanced at him several times before he spoke carefully.

"Actually, I deliberately provoked Yan Lili because I wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into Yan's mansion."

Seeing that Pei Zheng did not react, Jiang Mingzhi said all the words he heard in the teahouse today.

"I think there must be something wrong with the Yan family, but some of the previous clues were ignored, which will make things really big." Jiang Mingzhi opened his mouth and subconsciously looked at Pei Zheng.

"So you deliberately put yourself in danger, just to find out the news from the Yan family?" Pei Zheng said coldly, and saw Jiang Mingzhi nodding busily to deal with the matter.

"Yes, is there a problem with the Yan family, isn't it clear with your own eyes?"

As soon as the words fell, a cold snort came from his ears, "The Yan family is not something you can easily break into, if you are captured by the Yan family as a hostage, we don't want to have more stumbling blocks." ”

Hearing the ridicule in Pei Zheng's words, Jiang Mingzhi pursed her lips, she was not useless, but inexplicably felt that Pei Zheng's words made her unable to refute, so she had to give up.

After the carriage stopped outside the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Lie, who heard the news, hurriedly rushed over and threw his hand at the two of them.

"It's all the negligence of the lower officials, and I hope your lordship will forgive me."

After seeing Jiang Mingzhi get down from the carriage safe and sound, Xiao Lie's heart was relieved.

"I heard that someone went to report to the official before, claiming that he had heard the sound of a woman screaming in the Yan family, I wonder if the city lord knows about it?" As soon as Jiang Mingzhi got out of the carriage, he couldn't wait to ask.

Xiao Lie's face changed, he didn't expect that they would find out even this kind of thing, so he could only bow his head and sigh.

"It's true!"

Before Jiang Mingzhi continued to ask, Xiao Lie explained to them the whole story.

"After receiving the report, naturally someone went to the Yan family to investigate the situation, but the Yan family insisted that if there was no evidence, no one would have the right to enter the Yan Mansion, otherwise they would bear the consequences."

"The informants who heard this did not dare to come forward again, for fear that they would be targeted by the Yan family, so that even if someone really heard that something was wrong in the future, they would not dare to report to the police again."

As soon as the words fell, a sneer came from above his head, "In this way, the city lord's official is really lacking in shortcomings, and a small Yan family has made the city lord helpless." ”

Xiao Lie can't refute this, the Yan family relies on the queen as a backer, so naturally they will not take others in their eyes, and the same is true for Xiao Lie.

As a local parent official, Xiao Lie didn't know that he was fundamentally sorry for the trust of the people in his actions, but he was really powerless.

Yan Mansion

After Yan Lili went back angrily, she went to find Mrs. Yan as soon as possible.

"Mother! The daughter was humiliated in public by them again today, the daughter is unwilling, the daughter must arrest him, mother, you can help the daughter. ”

In the past, as long as Yan Lili and Mrs. Yan were coquettish, things would definitely be done, but I didn't expect Mrs. Yan to change her face this time.

"Lily, it's not that my mother doesn't love you, it's just that my mother sent someone to inquire, that group of people are from the capital, and they came to Lingcheng this time to kill demons, so we still don't want to add a handle to others at this time."

Hearing this, Yan Lili's face suddenly changed, "How is the capital coming!" If my mother doesn't help me, I'll go to the queen's aunt, and my aunt will be reluctant to see me so wronged! ”

"Lily!" Mrs. Yan's tone inevitably added a bit of sternness, "At this time, you can't be allowed to mess around, you can settle down and stay in the house." ”

Yan Lili didn't expect that because of such a trivial matter, her mother would want to ground her, her eyes widened instantly, and her heart became more and more hateful for those people!

Seeing that Mrs. Yan didn't seem to be joking with her, Yan Lili flicked her sleeves and returned to her courtyard.

On weekdays, where have people seen Mrs. Yan treat Yan Lili like this, and they are all silent, for fear that Yan Lili will be unhappy and beat them to death.

But Yan Lili threw everything that could be thrown in the house, but it was still difficult to control the anger in her heart.

"It just doesn't make sense! Miss Ben has to let them taste the bitterness! Yan Lili immediately waved her hand and let her personal guard appear.

"Listen, go and get that little for Miss Ben!"

As soon as the words fell, the guard nodded and withdrew.

When the guards came all the way to the city lord's mansion, they found Jiang Mingzhi's room without much effort, and just as he was about to attack Jiang Mingzhi, he didn't want a pain in the back of his neck and fainted.

Red Moon appeared from the shadows and threw this person in front of Jiang Mingzhi, "It should be sent by the Yan family." ”

Jiang Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, and all the tea in his hand was spilled, but the person woke up smoothly, but when he saw Jiang Mingzhi's appearance, he was startled.

"Are you Yan Lili's person?"

The guards were reluctant to speak at first, but after being "served" by Hongyue, they nodded unwillingly.

"The Yan family has been heard screaming from a woman before, is this true?" Jiang Mingzhi's face was a little serious.

The guard glanced at the red moon on the side in fear, and then nodded, "Yes, I have heard about this before. ”

In this way, Jiang Mingzhi frowned unconsciously.

"But no one knows if it's true or not."

"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Mingzhi took half a step forward, hating that he could tell everything he knew at once.

"No one knows if that cry came from a woman, and no one has seen a woman enter the ancestral hall with their own eyes, because the ancestral hall of the Yan family, except for Yan Zhen and his wife, no one else is allowed to enter."

The wrinkles between Jiang Mingzhi's eyebrows added a little more, "Not even Yan Lili?" ”

The guard then nodded, "That's why no one knows what's going on in the ancestral hall." ”

Jiang Mingzhi felt more and more that there might be a murderer hidden in the Yan family's ancestral hall, and now all the clues and evidence are matched with the Yan family.

When her gaze fell on the guard, her eyes rolled to her heart.

The guards who were caught only felt that he was really unlucky today, and he was forced to say these things helplessly, but he hadn't been able to bring people back, and he didn't know how Yan Lili was going to punish him.

Caught off guard, he shivered, and as soon as he raised his head, he collided with Jiang Mingzhi's gaze.

"You, what do you want to do?"

I saw Jiang Mingzhi smiling brightly, "If you don't do anything, you just feed you something good." ”

As soon as the words fell, the thing in her hand entered the guard's stomach, "This thing is poison, the antidote is in my hand, if you are obedient in the future, I will give you the antidote." ”

The guard's face turned completely white, and the thing in his mouth was long gone.

"From now on, after you go back, you have to keep an eye on the Yan family ancestral hall, and if you have any movement, you must report it immediately, and I can consider sparing your life."
