As soon as Mo Lan slipped out of Gan Mansion, he bumped into Shen Shiyuan at the door.
"Come out. You were in a hurry just now and forgot to tell you that Mr. Gan will go to the new wife's yard after toasting. Don't go there." After Shen Shiyuan finished speaking, he reached out to rub Mo Lan's head.
Mo Lan subconsciously avoided it. Shen Shiyuan's hand stopped in mid-air, a little embarrassed. He smiled and put down his hand.
"Um, Brother Shen, don't get me wrong, I'm just a little dizzy, unsteady on my feet, and swaying around." Mo Lan immediately swayed from side to side and explained.
But it seems even more embarrassing!
Shen Shiyuan clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves and asked Ai Xiang, who was waiting by the side, to support her.
The few of them remained silent until they returned to the inn.
Just as Mo Lan was about to say something, Shen Shiyuan interrupted her: "I know, go and rest!"
Know, know what, she hasn't said yet.
After watching Mo Lan return to the room, Shen Shiyuan turned around and went back to his room.
Hajime behind him shook his head helplessly.
"Master, why don't you express your feelings to Miss Chu? What if Miss Chu also likes you?"
Shen Shiyuan knocked on his head. "Talk too much!"
He didn't want to think about it, but she was given a marriage by the late emperor right after she was born. No matter how much he was unwilling to do so, he could only keep it in his heart.
Because once it is revealed, no matter whether Yuanyuan accepts it or not, it will not end well.
Both of them have families to protect and their own responsibilities.
Even if she wants to be selfish and desperate, if Yuanyuan doesn't have this idea, she might be pushed further and further away.
"Go back to your room. By the way, let me tell you how the accounts went today."
Ah Yi still didn't give up: "Sir, you really don't think about it..."
Shen Shiyuan smiled and said, "Ah Yi, why do you talk more than my father?"
Ah Yi's chest puffed up, "How is it possible? How can there be someone in this world who talks more than the master. Alas! Master, wait for me."
Mo Lan leaned against the door and listened to the conversation between the two, her thoughts a little confused.
On the second day, the entire state was immersed in the joy of Zhizhou's wedding, and soon after, Gan Ruizhi was imprisoned.
That Lou Zhuoying died in Zhizhou Mansion last night.
According to the servants, the lady in this building is quite domineering. She gave Gan Ruizhi a slap in the face last night before he even picked a wedding gift. Later, the two started to quarrel, and Gan Ruizhi was so angry that he broke out of the door and went to sleep in another courtyard.
In the early morning, when the servant went to call Lou Zhuoying, he found that she was dead. Things in the room were smashed into a mess.
The governor was furious and sent troops to arrest Gan Ruizhi and asked him why he killed his daughter.
Fortunately, the prefect Liu Xuezhou stopped him, otherwise Gan Ruizhi would have been buried with Lou Zhuoying at this moment.
Mo Lan curled her lips when she heard about it. Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite.
Carrying the small bag and preparing to leave, the horse was suddenly frightened and ran rampant on the street, heading for the Yamen.
Mo Lan finally stopped the horse and turned around to see Gong Yi wearing a mask and motionless.
"Here we go. Come in."
Go in, where? yamen? Why don't you want to torture people like this? Don't you know how to check it yourself?
Shen Shiyuan, who came later, saw Gong Yi and saluted: "King Qi!"
Gong Yi looked at him and then at Mo Lan.
"Mr. Chu is so leisurely. It seems that Mr. Shen has taken you to visit the entire Liushan Prefecture in the past few days."
Mo Lan was shocked, no way, this guy is so narrow-minded, he just played for a few days.
No, we can't let him remember Shen Shiyuan.
"Well, it's like this. We went south all the way and the food reserves were insufficient, so we stopped to replenish supplies. It happened that my maidservant was not accustomed to the climate, so it was delayed for a few days. I will go south immediately." After Mo Lan said this, he planned to pull Shen Shiyuan's feet. Grease and slip away.
"There is no rush now. The cases here are still left to you to handle. Follow me in." After Gong Yi said this, he walked into the Yamen.
Mo Lan didn't dare to refute, so she had to ask Shen Shiyuan to go back to the inn and wait for him.
Shen Shiyuan, a scholar, farmer, industrialist and merchant, knew his identity clearly and had no right to enter unless summoned.
"Why are you here, Your Majesty? Didn't you go to Qinzhou?" Mo Lan sweatdropped on his forehead, wondering where this great plague god would kill people wherever he went.
Gong Yi glanced at her and said, "After finishing my work, I remembered that you were nearby, so I came over to see how your progress was."
Wow, did the supervisor say it so bluntly? I've been traveling for a month, so I can't take a break!
No, it would take at least seven or eight days to get here from Qinzhou. I met him in Yongzhou half a month ago. It would take twenty days no matter what to get from Yongzhou to Qinzhou and then to Liushan Prefecture.
This guy won't be following me all the time. Alas! abnormal.
Gan Ruizhi was wearing a wooden shackle, his hair was loose, and he still had not changed into his wedding clothes. When Mo Lan entered, Liu Xuezhou was hugging Lou Zonghan tightly.
Wang Tongpan was trying to grab the knife from his hand...
"Master Lou is so unruly in the court, how unbecoming is it?" Gong Yi looked at the messy court in front of him and felt a little headache.
Lou Zonghan suddenly lowered his knife, and the man in his forties sat on the ground crying like a child.
Gong Yi rubbed his forehead, leaned over and said in Mo Lan's ear: "This old man's father and my father were close friends. After my father's death, every time there was a discussion, if he was dissatisfied with anything, he would discuss it in the main hall. The emperor had a headache because of his behavior, and it hurt the reputation of Marquis Yongyi, so he had to be demoted to be the governor of Heding Mansion and reflect on it."
Mo Lan was a little surprised that Gong Yi took the initiative to tell her this, and it was too ambiguous to speak in her ear.
The governor stopped making trouble and looked at them in shock.
"The king is telling you this just to let you know who can investigate and who can investigate at will. There have been some changes in the south recently. I have to deal with it. I leave this to you. It concerns the Lou family. I will give you some mercy later. Three months for you.”
Haha, co-author's coming here today was planned by him. He wanted to ask for help, right? If there is any unusual movement in the south, he must go there, right? When asking for help, you must have a asking attitude!
Mo Lan was so brave now that she bargained with Gong Yi without any scruples: "Half a year! No more."
"Two months."
"Deal!" If I keep saying this, I'm afraid the original deadline will be shortened.
Gong Yi smiled with satisfaction, explained a few words and left.
No, no! Gong Yi smiled!
Mo Lan felt a little struck by lightning. At this moment, she was like the housekeeper in the novel who laughed when she saw the young master who was three points cool, three points mocking and four points careless!
Gong YiOS: I’m not facially paralyzed
Mo Lan scratched his head, walked to the Taishi chair and sat down, flipping through the confession, trying to recall the detective novels he had read and the reasoning of a certain famous plane detective.
Lou Zonghan was chatting with the magistrate and magistrate at this moment, wondering what they were gossiping about. Please, your daughter has just died. Can you show the state of being about to kill someone just now?
"quiet!"
"Gan Ruizhi, let me ask you a few questions and answer them truthfully."
Gan Ruizhi knelt straight again and said with a tired look, "Excuse me, sir."
"Did you argue with Lou Zhuoying last night? If so, why?"
"last night......"
Gan Ruizhi walked to the door of his new house in a drunken state, but the door was closed. He only closed the door because it was cold and Miss Lou was delicate.
When he was about to open the door and go in, he found that the door was locked from the inside, so he banged on the door.
Then he called the servant to knock on the door. When it was opened, Lou Zhuoying hurriedly covered his head and sat back on the edge of the bed.
Gan Ruizhi saw that she was a little disheveled and the maid beside her was also very nervous, so he couldn't help but become suspicious.
But on the bridal night, he didn't think too much and picked up the scale and was about to take off his hijab. However, Lou Zhuoying kept dodging again and again, which made him lose his patience.
He lifted her hijab, but she looked at him defensively.
Gan Ruizhi couldn't help but feel angry, but she was the daughter of the governor. He didn't dare to do anything, so he went to another courtyard alone.
It wasn't until dawn when he heard the noise outside that he knew Lou Zhuoying was dead.
"Do you have any witnesses to prove that you never returned to your new house last night?"
"Yes, everyone who was on duty last night can testify for me!" Gan Ruizhi knelt on the ground, his face tensed. The chin also tightened slightly, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"Call the witness!"
There was nothing wrong with the witnesses' testimonies, which also proved that Gan Ruizhi did not lie and had an alibi.
However, these people are all his servants, so they are bound to lie. I am not a detective, so I can't tell them apart.
"Lord Lou! I don't know where Ling Qianjin's body is now. I want to do an autopsy!" Mo Lan had no choice but to touch his body as a last resort.
Lou Zonghan stood up, flicked his sleeves and said: "I have already gone through the test this morning. I didn't want to, but I have to know how my daughter died. Now that the results have been obtained, why bother to test again!"
Mo Lan couldn't bear it, "I wonder what caused Ling Qianjin's death?"
Lou Zonghan wiped his tears and replied slowly: "He was hit hard on the head and lost too much blood. He died in the middle of the night yesterday."
Mo Lan held her forehead: "Let's go and have a look at Gan Mansion."
As soon as Mo Lan walked to the yamen gate, a crowd of people gathered around him.
"Sir, please be careful. Lord Gan will never kill someone."
"Yes, sir, Mr. Gan usually does everything himself. Sometimes the fields are too busy, and he even takes people to the fields!"
"If you say Lord Gan killed someone, I will be the first to disagree!"
"Yes, I disagree! I disagree!"
Looking at the people surrounding them, Mo Lan felt a little embarrassed. The public's anger was hard to touch!
"Everyone, listen to me. Since everyone thinks that Mr. Gan did not kill anyone, let's get out of the way and let us find out about this matter and give him his innocence!" Mo Lan used his spiritual power and shouted, letting everyone present All heard clearly.
The four people finally got on the carriage and looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Lou Zonghan nudged Wang Hongju with his elbow. He cleared his throat and said, "Hey! I don't know where the young master is from and how he came here..."
"You don't need to know anything, just know that I am working on behalf of King Qi." Mo Lan had a cold face. What just happened made her very unhappy.
Lou Zonghan kept staring at her, recalling in his mind whether he had seen this little kid in Beijing. Unfortunately, the search failed.
Soon, the carriage arrived at Gan Mansion.
"Stop! What are you doing!"
