"Hehe, this Chen Ci Catcher has recently been transferred from other places."

Governor Lin turned the matter over in a few words, and Yan Yu didn't doubt it too much.

Qingzhou was an extremely important transportation center in the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty, and it was common for the yamen to go up to the prefect and down to the capture to make personnel transfers every year.

Later, after the people of Xu Fu prepared the pen and ink, Xu Lan and Chen Ci looked at each other and sat down.

"I have to bite to death, I don't know what's going on, or being targeted by the Hanging Mirror Division will be endless trouble..."

Xu Lan was silent on the surface, but there were some ripples in his heart.

In the Great Chu Dynasty, the status of the Hanging Mirror Division was above the six departments, which was probably equivalent to the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty.

The power in their hands is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, let alone an ordinary person, even if an official like the Qingzhou prefect is targeted by the Hanging Mirror Division, it is extremely troublesome.

"Why did the thief rob you?"

Chen Ci's eyes were sharp, wanting to take in the changes in Xu Lan's expression.

"I don't know."

Xu Lan shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because my appearance is too eye-catching, and the thief thinks I'm the son of a powerful family." ”

Speech: ......

She glanced up at Xu Lan silently marked the three words "shameless" in her heart, and then wrote down every word he said.

After all, it's true.

"Where did the thief go after you got out of the city?"

Chen Ci continued to ask.

"I don't know."

Xu Lan still shook his head and said: "The thief took me to fly off the wall, during which I wanted to struggle, but the other party directly knocked me out. ”

"Can you see the thief's face?"

Chen Ci frowned slightly, but did not continue to write.

"Nope."

Xu Lan pretended to recall before shaking his head and said, "It's too high, I'm afraid." ”

The powerless scholar is afraid of heights, well, very reasonable.

"Where were you when you woke up?"

Chen Ci tried to observe some clues from Xu Lan's facial expression, but it was a pity that Xu Lan disappointed her.

"In a cave."

Xu Lan paused for a moment before continuing: "When I came out of the cave, I met a hunter who was about to go up the mountain, and I learned from him that this place was about 100 miles away from Qingzhou. ”

"How did you get back?"

Chen Ci continued to ask, but some doubts had already arisen in his mind.

Xu Lan's answer was so perfect, so perfect that there were no flaws.

"Let's go."

Xu Lan said calmly: "I met some farmers on the way and asked them for some food and drink. ”

Yan Yu on the side was already in tears, in her impression, Xu Lan's life from childhood to adulthood was not brocade, but she had never tasted such a hard life.

"How long have you been walking, what does the hunter look like, and what does the farmer you look like on your way back?"

"Do you feel any signs of discomfort in your body?"

……

After a stick of incense, Chen Ci finished asking all the questions and recorded them.

Returning to the crowd, Chen Ci and the others whispered to a few others and nodded, as if they had made a decision.

"Lord Lin, is this an interrogation or a confession?"

Yan Yu's face gradually turned cold.

Although the Xu family is not a famous family, there are only a handful of martial arts families in the entire Qingzhou who can have a martial arts master from the Three Realms.

If this matter is spread today, will it make outsiders think that Xu Lan, the son of the Xu family, has done something heinous?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Governor Lin hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "This is just some of the processes of the Yamen, please forgive me." ”

"My lord, although Xu Gongzi has escaped, the thief has not been caught."

At this time, Chen Ci stood up again and said: "My subordinates think that we should be careful not to retaliate against thieves. ”

"Oh yes, yes."

Governor Lin understood it at the moment, so he turned to Yan Yu and said, "Madam, now that thief is still at large, he is very likely to appear again." ”

"How dare he?"

Hearing this, Yan Yu said coldly: "There are cultivators from the Second Realm in my Xu Mansion, and if the young man dares to come, he will definitely have no return!" ”

As a martial arts family, the Xu family has a cultivator who is not weak, and she Yan Yu is naturally not afraid.

"Madam, that thief is a well-known Jiangyang thief, and we have fought against him."

Chen Ci said directly: "It is preliminarily estimated that the thief has at least three realms of cultivation and is very dangerous. ”

A cultivator of the strength of the Three Realms?

Yan Yu frowned, if it was in normal times, he would naturally not be afraid, because Xu Lan's father was a cultivator of the Three Realms.

But recently, a batch of extremely important materials from the Jinbao firm was sent to Kyoto, and Xu Lan's father was hired to escort him with a lot of money, and he couldn't come back in a short time.

"Don't worry, ma'am."

Chen Ci continued to speak: "During this time, I will stay in the mansion to protect Gongzi Xu. ”

"You?"

Yan Yu showed a look of surprise, this handsome girl in front of her is still a cultivator of the Three Realms?

"Yes, yes, you can stay."

Governor Lin said happily: "Madame, don't underestimate her, her master is also one of the best swordsmen in Kyoto." ”

"That's right..."

Yan Yu also nodded after thinking about it for a while: "Then I will be tired of Miss Chen during this time." ”

"Yes, it's my job."

Chen Ci nodded, and then his eyes fell on Xu Lan's body, and he smiled.

It seemed that he was showing goodwill and saying hello, but Xu Lan knew very well that the trouble that should come was still coming.

He wasn't worried about what Chen Ci would do to Xu Fu, she had only one goal, and that was herself.

"It seems that the Hanging Mirror Division is still not at ease..."

"But think about it, how could ordinary people escape safely from the Demon Sect's Saint Candidate?"

"Presumably because the Hanging Mirror Division thinks that I have made some deals with the Demon Cult in order to survive..."

"That's it, let her follow, and after a while, if you don't get anything, you will naturally leave."

In the blink of an eye, several possibilities came to his mind, and he wasn't worried that the people of the Hanging Mirror Division would be able to find some clues from his confession.

Because what he says is true.

Unless... They were able to find Guan Chuchu, otherwise it would be impossible to know what had happened in the cave that day.

Then Governor Lin and the others left, leaving only Chen Ci alone.

"Go and prepare a clean guest room for Miss Chen, closer to Lan'er."

"Isn't the kitchen ready yet? Lan'er has suffered so much, she has to eat more. ”

……

Under Yan Yu's arrangement, Xu Lan also returned to his courtyard with a full meal and drink, as for Chen Ci... She followed her.

Even the room she lived in was just a wall away from her yard.

"Miss Chen, it's getting late, it's time for me to rest."

Xu Lan looked at Chen Ci, who had been following him, with a smile and said, "Could it be that Miss Chen also wants to serve my son like the two of them?" ”

"Okay."

Chen Ci glanced at Xu Lan silently, and then his eyes fell on the two girls, Qingluan and Hongluan, and when he saw it, he had four more words in his heart for Xu Lan.

"The Prodigal Son"
