Chapter 437 Resolved
Is Miss Jiang Si related to Chongyan?Lin Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at the two people who were talking for a while, and then turned his gaze back to An Guogong.

It seems that An Guogong also noticed that he was uncomfortable talking between these two people!
Of course I'm uncomfortable!He felt the same way when he spoke to both of them.It's just that he has his own opinions about Chongyan, and since Chongyan doesn't mention it, he can't say more.You can't just point at the two people who don't look around right now and say to Anguo, "Master Guo, do you think these two look like a couple?" 'You didn't even say hello when you said these words, are you planning to scare the old man?

An Guogong in the other side didn't think about it yet, but just stared at him and waited for his explanation.

So Lin Yan coughed, thought for a while and said: "It's true that we have a good relationship. Miss Jiang Si is smart and wise, and Chongyan and Chongyan share the same interests, and they are naturally compatible, even with me, who has known Chongyan for many years In comparison, they are much more compatible."

Oh, that's how it is!An Guogong thought about the appearance of a girl who knows how to advance and retreat, rubbed his chin, and suddenly said: "That can be regarded as a bosom friend."

Hearing this, Lin Yan glanced at An Guogong who was nodding, and thought to himself: In fact, it is a better relationship than a bosom friend.

But Grandpa Guo didn't think about that, so he couldn't be wrong, even if Grandpa Guo didn't judge people by appearance, but at first glance, Chongyan and Miss Jiang Si probably wouldn't think too much about it.If Chongyan hadn't said it himself, he wouldn't have thought of it!

But that was just the beginning, after getting in touch with him more, I found that Miss Jiang Si was more and more compatible with Chongyan.In his opinion, only Chongyan is worthy of Fourth Miss Jiang among the rich and powerful children in the city; similarly, only Fourth Miss Jiang is worthy of Chongyan.

However, that was the feeling he had after getting in touch with Miss Jiang Si these days. Yu had only come to Yancheng for a few days, and for the Duke who had just met Miss Jiang Si, there would be no such thing as this time. Such a feeling.

Chongyan thought he was also worried about this, so he didn't speak immediately!One is that the window paper between the two has not been pierced, so we can't say these words at this time; the other is that even if Miss Jiang Si is more courageous and intelligent than ordinary women, if the reaction of the Duke of the State makes Jiang Si Miss saw it, and with Miss Jiang Si's temperament, it was very likely that she would cut off the relationship between the two of them directly.

It is because of intelligence that it is easier to detect whether the other party likes or dislikes you.Huiji will be hurt!

This is the case with Asu who thinks about him, even though he knows how much he likes her, he still refuses to let go. In addition to being afraid that his status as the daughter of a criminal subject will hurt him, he also has considerations for his family.

Either his family members like Asu, or Asu is so kind, but in the eyes of some family members, they are not worth a strong family background.

His Asu came out of the court strife that swallowed people's bones and did not spit out scum, and worked tirelessly to gain a foothold on the street with his hands, in order to be able to live freely, not for the sake of being idle and supercilious.What's more, he didn't want his Asu to be wronged like this.

His thoughts drifted a little far away for a while, and when he came back to his senses, the two people in that room were still talking, but now they were very close, and they could clearly hear their conversation.

"...Buy some mushrooms and make some stewed rice, soak the dried mushrooms in water, it's very fragrant..."

This is Miss Jiang Si's voice.

Chongyan continued: "There are no special products near here in Yancheng, but mushrooms are pretty good. Xianweiji mushrooms are the best in the city, but they need to be ordered. I have already made an order, and I can get them in two days. Do you want Miss Jiang Si?"

The girl was taken aback when she heard the words, but she seemed to hesitate: "Your Majesty also likes to eat these foods, so how can I win over others?"

"A good sword can be used to its fullest effect if it is placed in the hands of a top swordsman, and good ingredients should be placed in the hands of Miss Jiang Si to make it delicious. If Miss Jiang Si is willing, remember to owe me a meal. "

The girl was slightly taken aback, and nodded in agreement.

Lin Yan is accustomed to such short and trivial conversations among parents, but it is the first time for Mr. An to hear such down-to-earth words from his eldest grandson who is not down-to-earth at all.

Is it really such a bosom friend?Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson was okay with this, Duke An scratched the back of his head which was a bit messy, and felt for the first time in his life that he still didn't know his grandson well enough.

But fortunately, the conversation between the two stopped almost by coincidence. From this point of view, the girl took the lead in nodding to Lin Yan and saying hello "Lin Shaoqing".

Lin Yan called out "Miss Jiang Si", pointed in the direction of the mountain temple, and said, "Someone has already been ordered to dig the entrance of the cave. I heard from hunters in the mountains that the cave seems to be dug out by small animals such as rabbits and foxes." The entrance of the cave should not have been dug by humans, so I don’t know where it leads.”

They made this trip deliberately because of the suspected "call for help" heard by An Guogong.

A group of people passed through the mountain temple, took Xiaowu and Xiangli who were picking jingtao flowers, and then walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"Miss, I have picked up quite a few Vitex flowers. I can take them back to make preserves and make wine." Xiangli showed Jiang Shaoyan a bag full of Vitex petals, and said happily, "Master Jing Ci said that they can be used to make wine."

In the eyes of people like Xiangli who like to eat, there are only two kinds of things in this world: those that can be eaten and those that cannot.

Jiang Shaoyan smiled and touched her head, hummed, and narrowed her eyes slightly to look at Ji Chongyan and others who were walking ahead.

The entrance of the cave discovered by An Guogong has already surrounded many guards. At this time, the guards are carrying shovels to the entrance of the cave and began to measure and discuss.

Jiang Shaoyan flipped through the atlas of customs and customs in her hand, and at the top of the album was a very detailed map of Yancheng and its surrounding areas, even the Jingtaohua Forest behind the mountain temple they passed by was specially drawn out.

However, even with such a detailed geomancy map, there is no mark on the hole discovered by An Guogong.

A hole that ordinary adults cannot enter will naturally not be marked, and the little official who draws the map is meticulous, but he is not full of food and has nothing to do.

Measuring the entrance of the cave, lifting the shovel and digging the cave was left to the guards and craftsmen. Ji Chongyan accompanied An Guogong to stand near the entrance of the cave, then turned and walked towards Jiang Shaoyan who was not far behind.

The hole was too small for an ordinary adult to pass through. Naturally, Jiang Shaoyan would not run to try to get through the hole when she was full.

"Miss Jiang Si." Ji Chongyan came over and asked her, "What do you think?"

The girl pursed her lips, did not speak immediately, but looked up at Duke An, who was beside her, and asked, "Can you tell whether the cry for help that Duke heard was a man or a woman?"

An Guogong heard the words, thought for a while, and said seriously: "It should... be a woman, and the voice is not like a man's."

Although there was only an invisible sound, he was sure it was a woman.

Women's voices are higher pitched than men's, so it's easy to tell them apart.

"Can Duke An hear that woman's age?" The girl continued to ask.

It's not bad to hear the voice of a woman, but to ask him to distinguish the age of the woman... An Guogong shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's a bit difficult."

After all, it was only a cry for help, and even if it wasn't a cry for help, there was no such thing as a sound.Some people's voices are naturally younger than their peers. He has heard people who are young but have a "mature and stable" voice, and he has also heard people who are old but have a "juvenile voice".

Guessing people by sound is not allowed.Of course Jiang Shaoyan knew this, but she could use this to rule out one thing.

"It can be seen from this that this person should not be a child." The girl explained, "The voice of a child is different from that of a teenager or an adult."

This... An Guogong thought for a while, then nodded: "It should not be the voice of a child."

"It's not the child's voice, and the person probably didn't fall into it from this hole." The girl measured the hole and said, "If the Duke heard me right, there should be an entrance elsewhere."

This is what Lin Yan wanted to say. He took the map of the green hills on the outskirts of Yancheng from the girl and studied it carefully.

The geomancy pictures are very detailed, and the height of the mountains and the location of the underground have been measured and calculated.

There are many rivers and rivers in Jiangnan Road, and there are also many underground rivers, and the foot of Qingshan is no exception. The underground river is not far from the foot of the mountain where they are at this time.

In this case, Lin Yan compared the distance between the underground river and the approximate location of the cave. The entrance of the cave is downward, and the dampness of the underground river can be smelled from the entrance of the cave.If that's the case, get some more people, and you may be able to find the entrance by searching around the surrounding terrain that is lower than the cave and higher than the river.

Lin Yan greeted the girl, tore off the page of the map, marked it with charcoal, and asked someone to circle the location to be searched, and sent someone to search for the person.

This is not something she wants to intervene in. Lin Yan and Ji Chongyan will only do better or worse than her in such things.That being the case... Jiang Shaoyan stepped forward to bid farewell to An Guogong and others.

An Guogong and others will not stop them, and the girls can't get in here, so why bother to keep the girls here?
So An Guogong waved his hand and said: "Jiang's girl, go back quickly!"

The girl nodded, bowed to Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan again, turned around and left with Xiao Wu and Xiangli.

Since she just brought Xiao Wu here by the way, it would be difficult for Jue Ying to follow her. Ji Chongyan pursed his lips, turned his head and said to Jue Ying: "Keep watching at Yuelai Inn!"

Jiang Pingping wanted to keep an eye on it, but as for the girls... Ji Chongyan glanced at the album that Lin Yan tore down: Did she come to Yancheng just to buy fungi?Ji Chongyan shook his head: Impossible.

Of course she also knew that she couldn't hide it from herself, when she mentioned the reason just now, her gaze seemed to be looking at him, but in fact it fell on the peak of his eyebrows.

Don't dare to look at each other!
"Keep an eye on Jiang Pingping," Ji Chongyan said to Jue Ying behind him, "especially if Jiang Pingping is traveling with Miss Jiang Si."

Jueying, who was about to respond, couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the words: Especially keep an eye on Jiang Pingping and Miss Jiang Si to go out together?The prince's jealousy is a bit strong!
All the way back to the city without hindrance, Xiangli never forgot to ask her: "Miss, is that kind-looking old man the Duke?"

Jiang Shaoyan nodded and said, "It's the Duke."

Xiangli thought for a while after hearing the words, and said: "When I was in the capital, the concierge also said that the Duke had three heads and six arms, and he looked like a black-faced Zhong Kui. It turned out to be a lie. The Duke is clearly kind and very kind. , much more gentle than the second and third masters."

Such a high-ranking and powerful Duke is not so unreasonable, and he didn't roll his eyes at her, but the second and third masters used to roll their eyes at her and the young lady when they were in the capital!I don't know where the confidence comes from!

"After all, it's the confidence I borrowed, and it will return to its original form one day." The girl didn't say much after hearing the words. When she returned to Beijing, the good days of Master Jiang Er and Master Jiang San would come to an end.

After talking with Xiangli, the girl lifted a corner of the curtain and said, "Xiaowu, let's go into the city and take a look around the yamen."

Grandpa Guo's saving people temporarily transferred Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan away, but she could use this opportunity to find Miss Fang San and that Doctor Liu first.

……

The layout of the city of Yancheng is square and simple, the most near the yamen are all kinds of shops, Jiang Shaoyan sat in the carriage, let Xiao Wu drive the carriage leisurely in front, and glanced at the shops on both sides of the street one by one.

There is no need to look at the Fang family's shop. Leaving aside the Fang family's shop, the rest of the shops are almost all from the rich local gentry in Yancheng. These people have visited Yancheng as early as when Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan came to Yancheng I think Ji Chongyan and Lin Yanxun have already been honest, so it is unlikely that these people have hidden people in their own shops.

Lin Yan is the well-known judge of Shaoqing Yumian in Dali Temple. If he can tell him that he can't find anyone until now, those two people must be hiding in a place that Lin Yan didn't expect for a moment.

The horse-drawn carriage passed the corner, and the horse-drawn carriage, bodyguard bureau, earth temple, etc. passed by one by one. Jiang Shaoyan glanced over these places without making a sound.

After walking everywhere, Xiao Wu stopped the carriage and asked Jiang Shaoyan: "Miss, do you want to continue walking?"

After Jiang Shaoyan lowered her eyes and fell silent for a moment, she said "Yes" and said, "Try to find a way to go around to the Fang family's mansion, I have something to talk to Miss Fang about."

……

……

The bustle and hustle and bustle of Chang'an City is still there, and the streets of Chang'an, which are not yet the New Year's Eve, are bustling, and smiling people can be seen wandering happily on the street everywhere.

Master Jiang Er and Master Jiang San walked among them with their hands in their hands and desolate faces, which seemed a bit out of place with the crowd.

Since the day when my eldest brother went to the yamen on his return to Beijing, he has been very busy every day, leaving early and returning late, and the big knife on his head has not been dropped for a while.

But it is because he never falls that makes people flustered day by day.

Xu Shi faced the big knife together, so that the two people who were about to strike when they met in Baoling were able to walk and chat on the streets of Chang'an calmly.

"Mother's matter will be exposed sooner or later. If it is revealed, the eldest brother will know..." Jiang San sighed, looked quietly at Jiang Er, and said, "I feel very panicked."

Master Jiang Er snorted coldly when he heard the words, and said: "You are not the only one who panicked... I thought that the stinky girl was because of her conscience and found out that she was temporarily entrapping my old lady, but now I find that she did it on purpose, just to get my second wife People are roasting on the fire!"

In the few days since he came to the capital, he and his third brother lost a lot of weight. They didn't lose weight like this in the prison, so it can be seen that the stinky girl's plan is really poisonous.

"This fat-headed fish has been like a fish in water since he went to Jiangnan Road. I don't believe that no one can cure her!" Master Jiang San gritted his teeth and cursed, his eyes flashed, and when he saw the big house in Zhuquefang not far ahead, he opened his mouth With a sneer, he said in a dark voice, "Actually, it's very simple to deal with the falling knife. You only need to deal with the person holding the knife, isn't it?"
