"Little lady, long time no see!"

The man came out of the dark shadow behind Qingran's bed and spoke.

With his appearance.

Qing Ran actually sat up from the bed.

His face was radiant.

There is no trace of pathology at all.

"Long time no see......"

Xiao Zhong said weakly.

Jin Ye's real name is Qinghong.

Since he left Qingfu and went to the mine, he has never had any contact with Qingfu.

Why did he suddenly appear in Qing Ran's bedroom today, and still stand in front of him so calmly?

Xiao Zhong's heart felt like being hit with a heavy hammer.

Immediately annoyed and uncomfortable.

I just want to get out and breathe.

But the current situation made him unable to get out at all.

"When the eldest young master came back, why didn't he say anything in advance. ”

She wanted to smile at this Jin Ye.

But the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he couldn't pull out a smile.

Jin Ye moved the chair next to the table in the room to the window and sat down with a big grin.

Xiao Zhong tried to calm down and said.

On the surface, though, he didn't move.

But her face was stiff.

"But young master, your room, the villains have always been cleaning on time. ”

Xiao Zhong said.

She began to talk more.

crossed his legs, but he took out a handful of nuts from his pocket and threw them into his mouth one by one.

"The little lady is polite. It's all my own family, where do you need to prepare something. That's a bit too much!"

Jin Ye said with a nut in his mouth.

And when Xiao Zhong is nervous, he will keep talking.

It was as if these words could dissolve all the worries in my heart.

"Little lady bothered, thank you!"

In the past, in Qingfu, except for his own daughter, he rarely said so much.

A person always does something when he is nervous.

Some people drink and some smoke.

Xiao Zhong asked tentatively.

"Come back to see my father, and by the way, say hello to your little lady!"

The nuts in Jin Ye's hands were eaten.

Although Jin Ye's mouth was very polite.

But between his demeanor, he didn't see the slightest respect for Xiao Zhong's family.

"I don't know why the eldest young master has returned home this time?"

But she couldn't stop cursing in her heart.

These two must be singing duets with themselves.

Otherwise, why didn't he come early or late, but went home at this juncture?

He clapped his hands and said.

At this point, Xiao Zhong's family was finally able to retract and release freely.

smiled at Jin Ye more easily.

It is inevitable that people will be worried.

But Xiao Zhong doesn't think so.

She felt it was a rainy day.

But this is not what Xiao Zhong is most worried about.

The fundamental reason why she can gain a foothold in Qingfu and monopolize power is that she has a much more long-term vision than ordinary people.

Sometimes, when you look far ahead, you think too much.

But she did everything she could, but she didn't expect that Qing Ran would have such a close connection with his son.

In this way, all the movements of Xiao Zhong's family in the Qing Mansion are actually well known to Qing Ran.

Maybe it's because he hasn't touched Qing Ran's bottom line yet, so he has been holding back.

Even if something doesn't happen at all, she will think of countermeasures in advance.

Even if many things make her really helpless.

At least psychologically, they are also prepared.

The threads connected his mind and limbs.

I thought I was autonomous, but in fact I couldn't help myself.

Many times, knowing too much, you will be unhappy.

Xiao Zhong suddenly felt a little bleak.

It's as if the characters in shadow puppetry suddenly become enlightened and feel that they can move their bodies independently.

As a result, I suddenly looked back, but found that there were still countless extremely slender silk threads tied behind me.

Too much and it gets out of hand.

The current situation in Qingfu, in the eyes of Xiao Zhong, is out of control......

At least more than she could have thought.

It's the same as drinking too much and having a headache and vomiting.

Everything has a degree.

Moderation is just right.

"The main thing is that you take care of it...... My son was raised for nothing. I've been out for so many years, but there is no news!

Jin Ye arched his hand and said.

"What else does the family need to say?"

That's why Xiao Zhong feels that he is very bleak......

"As soon as you come back, young master, you can see that your father is sitting up happily! If you come back early, maybe your master's illness will heal faster!"

Xiao Zhong said lightly.

His daughter Qing Xueqing is the same as this Jin Ye, although she is not a fellow mother, but after all, she is Qingran's flesh and blood.

The so-called dog beating also depends on the owner.

Even if Qing Ran wants to liquidate what he has done in Qingfu over the years, he has to estimate his daughter's face.

Xiao Zhong said politely.

But he has completely calmed down.

She is still the lady of Qingfu.

Such a thing that outweighs the loss, Qing Ran must never do it.

"Hong'er, you're right. You're not a filial child!"

Qing Ran said.

What's more, the ugliness of the family is not publicized.

If Qing Ran really tore his face with himself, then Hongzhou would definitely be full of wind and rain.

In the end, it was Qingfu's worth that was damaged.

Qing Ran sighed and said.

Immediately asked Xiao Zhong to tell Jin Ye about the visit of Hongzhou Prefecture Tongwen Tingbai.

"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings......"

"Am I just coming back to fulfill my filial piety? Filial piety is no matter how early or late. The key is to see the timing!"

Jin Ye said.

"You're back, it's time for you!"

The father and son must have discussed it a long time ago.

Now it's just a matter of looking at your own attitude.

But that's it.

After hearing this, Jin Ye pretended to sigh deeply.

It's as if you're in a big trouble.

Xiao Zhong sneered in his heart.

Qing Ran asked.

"If I had been robbed of the silver alone, I would have known something. ”

Jin Ye said.

But she can only push the boat with the current, and can no longer calculate.

After all, if Qingfu has three longs and two shorts, her little Zhong's good days will come to an end.

"Hong'er, do you think this matter is okay? The situation of the Hongzhou mine is the one you are most familiar with. ”

"The people from the Investigation Division have arrived at the mine?"

Qing Ran asked.

"That's right...... Not only did they arrive, but they had already lost their troops and died. ”

immediately told Liu Ruiying and others about Qing Ran and Xiao Zhong.

Qing Ran frowned as she listened.

Jin Ye didn't have time to tell him these words in advance.

His eyes glanced at Xiao Zhong intentionally or unintentionally.

"There is a grocery store in the shack where the laborers live. She's now the proprietress there. ”

Jin Ye said.

Jin Ye said.

"Your sister is in the mine now. ”

Qing Ran then asked.

It represents the official power of the Zhenbei Domain.

And the Investigation Division is even more above all forces, and outside of the five kings, they must not act rashly.

The most important thing at the moment is to find out who is robbing the money.

Qing Ran nodded after hearing this.

But in my heart, I began to think about it.

Wen Tingbai is the commander of Hongzhou Prefecture.

Qing Ran knew the rules of the Investigation Division.

It's definitely not untargeted.

If they were so determined to go straight to the mine, they must have received some information.

"In fact, after Liu Ruiying, the provincial flag of the Investigation Division, came to my mansion that day, I was also very puzzled...... Because his goal is extremely clear. It seems that the gang of people who robbed the silver will definitely come to buy iron ore. But since he arrived at the mine, more than ten days have passed. In the past ten days, in addition to thinking about snakes with my sister in the grocery store, the people in the investigation department went to my place to explore the truth. ”

Jin Ye said.

This is a very profound statement.

"Yes, an ordinary man died. Yangwen Town Investigation Division Station Building. ”

Jin Ye said.

Yangwen Town!

But how can it be like a headless fly for ten days in a row?

"You said the Investigation Division killed someone in the mine?"

Qing Ran asked.

But Jin Peng is a high-ranking position in the Investigation Division.

If you really want to talk about it, it is not worse than Hongzhou Prefecture's unification and listening.

At that time, I heard that this person actually came to Yangwen Town to serve as the building chief of a small investigation division station building.

Hearing these three words, Qing Ran's pupils shrank suddenly!

The station building of the Investigation Division in Yangwen Town can be said to be the first station building in the northern Zhenbei royal domain.

Although Yangwen Town is not a critical place.

If you can take advantage of his troubles, make friends with him.

If Jin Peng can turn around in the future, then he will have an extremely strong network with Qingfu.

However, Qing Ran repaired several books one after another, but they were all sunk into the sea, and there was no news.

Qing Ran still has some ideas.

He felt that Jin Peng should be in trouble......

The icing on the cake is never as good as charcoal in the snow.

This is not a prevarication.

It's that Jin Peng is indeed not in the building.

He didn't spend as much time in Yangwen Town as he did on horseback.

He also specially sent someone to prepare a generous gift and went to visit.

But they were all blocked back.

The reason is also very simple, because Jin Peng is not in the building.

"How do people die?"

Qing Ran asked.

Even if he is just an ordinary person in the station building of the Investigation Division, there is nothing in the world that is not worth being careful about.

After so many times, Qing Ran was also indifferent.

That's it.

But when Jin Ye mentioned it like this, he remembered the past again.

I looked at her all over my body a little uncomfortable.

"Over there in the Hongzhou mine, how much can you master. ”

Qing Ran asked.

"I don't know ...... either"

Jin Ye shook his head and said.

His eyes were on Xiao Zhong's body.

This has been the case since I was a child.

Others may have improved much faster than him for a while.

But in the end, they were all defeated in the competition because they were too eager for quick success.

Although it was a question, the tone and tone of his voice did not change in the slightest.

This is Qingran's habit.

He was never in a hurry.

"In the entire Hongzhou mine, nine times out of ten, I have the absolute right to speak. ”

Jin Ye said proudly.

Emotion nodded.

Only when you get out of the water do you look at the mud on your legs.

The first person to laugh may not be able to laugh last.

And the person who can really laugh to the end is the sweetest laugh.

The dangers and complexities can be imagined.

The mine is in Hongzhou though.

But it is the key point of the entire Zhenbei King Domain.

He still recognizes and appreciates his son's ability.

You must know that the mine in Hongzhou is a place where you can't eat people and don't spit out bones......

Qingfu has such a big family business, but he doesn't dare to set foot in it easily.

Whoever controls the mines in Hongzhou can even be said to have grasped a lifeblood in the world.

Now his son actually said that he has such a high degree of control over the mines in Hongzhou, which is also a big shock to Qing Ran.

"In that case, how could you not have the slightest knowledge that someone in the Investigation Division had been killed?"

It is also the main production area of iron ore in the world.

The five kingdoms are up to the armor tent and down to the pots and pans of the people.

Where is there a lack of iron?

He immediately took out the short knife whose blade was out of proportion to the handle and had not yet opened the blade from his bosom and handed it to Qing Ran.

"The whereabouts of this knife are clear. It's kind of a friend of mine. The knife was stolen from him, and the man was certainly not killed by him. ”

Jin Ye said with great certainty.

Qing Ran thought for a moment, but asked suspiciously.

"I really don't know about that...... Don't talk about the guy in the station building of the Investigation Division. Even my righteous son was killed. And they used the same weapon, the same method. ”

Jin Ye said.

"Little lady, are you alright?"

Jin Ye turned around and saw that the teacup in front of Xiao Zhong had been silted out.

Tea trickled from the cup onto the table, all dripping to the floor.

Xiao Zhong got up and went to get the teapot and pour the tea.

But her ears were still listening to the conversation between Jin Ye and Qing Ran word for word.

Immediately, there was a gurgling sound of running water behind him.

The mood that had not been calmed down before was turbulent again.

"yes...... It's too dark, indeed. ”

Jin Ye said jokingly.

"Ah...... I'm fine! The main thing is that the lights in this room are too dark. ”

Xiao Zhong suddenly stopped and said.

But his eyes flickered.

"You may not have seen your young sister for a long time. ”

Qing Ran said with a twist.

"Yes, when I left the house, she was still a little girl. I'm sure they've all grown into big girls now!"

Then he glanced at his father.

Qing Ran was silent.

The short knife in his hand played with it for a moment, and then put it aside.

"Yes, then our Qingfu can be regarded as a successor. I have to get acquainted with Qingmei a lot! My brother, who has no prospects, will have to rely on her to help me in the future. ”

Jin Ye said with a smile.

"Where is there any understanding...... I'm still a child! I haven't grown up at all. Speaking of which, I'm still very worried about him going out this time......"

Jin Ye said.

"Qing'er's comprehension is better than yours!

Qing Ran said.

As a mother, it is also common sense to be a little worried about her daughter who is about to go away.

"Little lady, you can rest assured. I don't dare to say anything else, but if I only go to this Hongzhou mine, I will definitely not let my sister be harmed in any way. ”

Jin Ye said.

Xiao Zhong said.

Qing Ran mentioned Qing Xueqing, but he gave Xiao Zhong an excellent opportunity to hide his sad face.

The child is worried.

"Master, Qing'er drank too much today...... But he had already fallen asleep. ”

Xiao Zhong said with some embarrassment.

"She's drunk?"

Then pick up the teacup and drink it all.

"What's the point of drinking tea, we haven't seen each other for so long, we should always drink a few glasses of wine!

Qing Ran said.

"Yes...... In the afternoon, I chatted with Wenzhou Tongduo for a while. Then Qing'er went out to drink with Wen Qiwen. By the time I returned, she was asleep. ”

Xiao Zhong said.

"Then you go get us both some wine, and let the kitchen fry a few snacks. Don't bother, just keep it simple. ”

Qing Ran pretended to be surprised and said.

In fact, as soon as Qing Xueqing and Wen Qiwen climbed over the wall and left Qingfu, he already knew.

At the moment, he is just acting against this little Zhong family.

As soon as the door was closed, Qing Ran asked.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

Jin Ye asked rhetorically.

Qing Ran said.

Xiao Zhong answered, and went out of the bedroom to arrange.

"What else do you want to say?"

But after hearing this burst of laughter, he retracted his hand stiffly, and then left the main seat of the Qinglou.

She's going to the Makeup Building.

No matter what, you have to call Qingxueqing up.

As soon as this remark came out.

Father and son both burst out laughing.

After Xiao Zhong finished Qing Ran's request to this steward, he was about to push the door in.

"I really don't know. But I have a guess. ”

Jin Ye said.

"You mean your little lady?"

Right now, the only hole card she can play in Qingfu is her daughter who is connected to Qingran's blood.

"I just want to ask you, I really don't know who killed the person?"

Qing Ran asked.

Jin Ye said.

"Oh, but why?"

Qing Ran was extremely puzzled after hearing this.

Qing Ran asked.

Jin Ye nodded.

"And I'm sure she's been to the mine at least once herself! just recently!"

After Qingran couldn't get sick and closed the door, everything in Qingfu was taken care of by Xiao Zhong's family.

But I had never heard that she had not been in the house for several days in a row.

"Because in addition to the real murderer, there was also an assassin who once tried to assassinate Liu Ruiying, the provincial flag of the Investigation Division, in my sister's grocery store. ”

Everything in the Qingfu is secretly and firmly controlled.

The mine in Hongzhou is at least two days away from Qingfu.

It's four days.

"That's true. Because the person who assassinated Liu Ruiying, the provincial banner of the Investigation Division, although he used a knife, he didn't know how to use a knife. Instead, it used a hidden weapon. It's still extremely clever, and it's a dark weapon. ”

Jin Ye said.

Qing Ran was silent.

Jin Ye said.

"Your little lady is not a martial artist. Even after so many years, she secretly practiced a little, but she didn't have that ability. ”

Qing Ran shook his head and said.

That is, both sides are hiding their true identities.

People who don't know how to use knives use it in order to take it by surprise in a pinch.

After all, this secret weapon, the most particular thing is to take my time.

An assassin who doesn't know how to use a knife, but carries a knife to kill.

Another killer who uses a knife is a stolen knife.

There is only one way to do this.

But it can already be completely unprepared.

The other person, on the other hand, has extreme self-confidence and is able to kill with one sword.

Because if the other party is allowed to escape, this person's secret cannot be hidden.

The person who used the knife may have chosen to kill people with such a waste knife in order not to let others see the number of his knife skills.

But both of them are martial arts masters.

The Strength Vapor Secret Weapon is an extremely clever secret weapon technique.

Qing Ran opened his mouth and was about to say something, but the door was pushed open again.

"Qing'er, are you awake?"

Qing Ran saw that it was Qing Xueqing who entered the door.

"Everything has a contingency. Didn't she know that I had come into your bedroom like this?"

Jin Ye said.

This 'she' refers to Xiao Zhong's.

Qing Xueqing looked at Qing Ran and shouted.

Qing Ran asked her to sit on the edge of her bed, and then pointed to Jin Ye and asked:

"Do you know who he is?"

It's just that her eyes are very confused.

Apparently he was woken up from bed by Xiao Zhong.

"Daddy!"

What's more, the wind and sand on the mine over the years have carved the original thin-skinned and tender Qingfu prince into a rough man.

In addition, the alcohol on her body has not completely dissipated.

It's normal not to recognize.

"I don't know. ”

Qing Xueqing looked at Jin Ye with wide eyes, shook her head and said.

When Jin Ye left, he was still very young.

Qing Xueqing said excitedly.

She didn't know anything about these disturbances in the Qing Mansion.

However, this blood is thicker than water, and Qing Xueqing is still very happy to see her half-brother.

"He's your brother, Qinghong. ”

Qing Ran said.

"Ah, you're my brother in the mines, I'm going to look for you with Brother Wen in a few days!"

"Come, your brother is back today, Daddy is happy! Let's have a drink together!"

Qing Ran said.

There is no Xiao Zhong's wine glass on the small table.

Xiao Zhong asked the villain to put a small table next to Qing Ran's bed.

Three flasks, three glasses, all in one.

It's just that the appetizer will have to wait a little longer.

"Dad, is your body okay with alcohol?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

"As the saying goes, a smile will take a break from all illnesses, and a drunken illness will relieve a thousand sorrows! Do you think my body can drink?"

She thought that Qing Ran would open her mouth and let her join.

But I didn't expect to ignore myself directly.

Seeing this, she had no choice but to stand behind and smile.

Qing Xueqing stood up, raised her glass with both hands and said.

"I didn't expect that little girl back then, but now she is also a bit of a heroine! Your brother and I don't have any skills, and I think this amount of wine is not bad. But I haven't seen anyone get drunk and sleep until they are halfway through and can get up and drink again!"

Jin Ye said jokingly.

Qing Ran gently stroked Qing Xueqing's head and said.

After hearing this, Qing Xueqing smiled and poured wine for Qing Ran and Jin Ye.

"Brother, I'll toast you!"

Jin Ye directly picked up the wine jug and said.

After speaking, he took the wine jug and touched the wine glass in Qing Xueqing's hand, raised his head and drank it all.

"Brother is so powerful......"

As soon as Qing Xueqing heard this, she knew that everyone knew that she had been drunk before.

At the moment, he lowered his head in embarrassment and stuck out his tongue.

"My brother came in a hurry, and he didn't bring any gifts for you! When you go to the mine, you can stay with me, and take whatever you like!"

"Qing'er, don't learn from your brother, that's all the way of a reckless man! Our girl's family is going to be a little reserved to hit the girl! Come, dad will drink slowly with you!"

Qing Ran raised his wine glass and drank it with Qing Xueqing without hurry.

"Brother, what does the mine look like, is it fun?"

Qing Xueqing had never seen anyone drink so boldly, and she couldn't help but be amazed.

Jin Ye didn't think so.

He is best at drinking such a rush wine.

"I don't know how to say it's fun...... But it must be a novelty you haven't seen before!"

Jin Ye said.

"As long as you haven't seen it, it's all fun!"

Qing Xueqing put down her wine glass and asked.

The farthest place she has ever been to is the small alley where Liba drinks in the city of Hongzhou Mansion.

But he was full of curiosity about the unfamiliar environment of the mine.

Qing Xueqing asked again.

"Do you want me to wait for you over there, or do you want to come with you?"

Jin Ye said.

Qing Xueqing clapped her hands and said with a smile.

Obviously looking forward to the upcoming trip to the mine.

"Did my brother come back to pick me up this time?"

Something unknown.

This way, she wanted to wander to the mine with Wen Qi and Wen Youya.

If his brother is accompanying him, he will inevitably be a little restrained.

Qing Xueqing thought about it, but it was difficult to weigh it.

Novelty is novelty, after all, there will still be some nervousness.

This made Qing Xueqing's heart very entangled.
