imperial psychologist

Chapter 617

In the turret room, Ai Songqing was sleeping soundly when he heard a knock on the door outside.

She answered "Come" and went to the ground, opened the door but saw a maid standing outside, who told her that someone with a name card came to visit late at night, saying that she must see Bai Ling tonight.

The people at the bottom were not sure, and they came up to ask questions for fear of delaying Bo Ling's affairs.

Only then did Ai Songqing pick up the candlestick and walk back—however, there was only Nian Nian who had just woken up on the bed, and the part where Bai Ling usually slept was empty.

"Hey," Ai Songqing blinked, "Bai Ling is not here..."

At the same time, there was a faint noise outside.

"What sound?" Ai Songqing asked with a frown.

"It should be the person who came to look for Miss Bailing," the maid whispered, "I don't know where he came from. How did he get Miss Bailing's name card—"

"Where is Awan? Go and ask Awan if she knows about this." Ai Songqing said softly, "Bai Ling is not here at the moment, I wonder if he is with Awan..."

"Hey." The maid nodded and hurriedly retreated upstairs.

"Sister Songqing?" Niannian on the bed rubbed his eyes sleepily.

Ai Songqing closed the door, turned around and smiled, "It's okay, let's continue to sleep."

……

Although the Lanzihao was still lively tonight, and there were still people singing and singing in the middle of the night, but in the Golden Pavilion there was still the sound of abacus calculations that sounded quite lonely.

At the beginning of each year, the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies have to reconcile accounts. About 20 people have to work around the clock for nearly a month to calculate the expenditure of the imperial court for a year.

This time Yuan Zhen brought this team to Lan Zihao—but he didn't bring all of them, only seven people.

They also have their own errands in the palace. Except for the two days when Yuan Zhen first entered the Lanzi shop, Yuan Zhen spent almost two days in the Golden Pavilion. The time has come.

The seven young father-in-laws, each with their own abacus, followed Yuan Zhen from the palace to the side door of the Lanzi shop, and then went straight into the Golden Pavilion from the path.

They worked out the accounts in the Golden Pavilion for more than an hour every day, rested nearby after finishing the day's work, and returned to the palace together after dawn.

Lan Zihao’s five-year history has been gradually cleared up in this little bit of liquidation every day. Yuan Zhen glanced at the remaining account books to be checked, and estimated in his heart that after working for two days, he would have the confidence to go to the bank. The emperor has a errand.

At this moment, a palace official walked in quickly outside the door of the Golden Pavilion. The person saluted Yuan Zhen respectfully, then walked up to Yuan Zhen and whispered something in Yuan Zhen's ear.

"Someone is causing trouble?" Yuan Zhen snorted, smiling coldly, "Go out, what are the thugs raised in this fancy kiln for? You also want to ask me?"

The man said a series of words in a low voice again, and the more Yuan Zhen listened back, his face became more and more gloomy.

"Where is the person?" Yuan Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Where's that girl Bo Ling?"

"We have detained that person so that he won't be messing around outside all the time," the palace servant said in a low voice. "The servants have searched for many places, but they haven't found where Miss Bai is."

The palace man paused, then raised his eyes to look at Yuan Zhen, "Could it be because she was afraid of taking responsibility, so Miss Bai simply ran away...?"

Yuan Zhen sneered.

The man in the palace was really frightened by Yuan Zhen's smile, and quickly kowtowed, saying that he had sent the turtle claws from the Lanzi shop to go out of the Lanzi shop at night, and look for it in the Baihuaya area. .

"Understood," Yuan Zhen's voice was nasal and procrastinating, "You go down first, watch out for the person who came to extort money from us, I still have some things to finish here, I'll go down and have a look in person later."

"Eh." The palace man nodded quickly.

"There's no need to go out and look for Bo Ling anymore, let them all come back and act as if nothing happened." Yuan Zhen said again.

"This...?" The palace man raised his head, the forehead lines on his forehead were crowded together, showing a bit of doubt.

"Although we haven't said to the outside world that the matter of the Lan brand name is in the hands of the palace, it will be said sooner or later. Now someone is coming to slander Tianjia's official kiln for raising child prostitutes..."

Yuan Zhen laughed again, and after this sneer, the last bit of smile on his face faded away.

"You are shameless, the emperor wants shame!"

The stern sound made the palace guard tremble, and immediately knocked his head on the ground, "... Ming, got it!"

After this person left, Yuan Zhen returned to his position and personally sorted out the results of the review by the seven people.

After staring at the numbers in his hand for a while, Yuan Zhen suddenly felt that he might not be in the mood to do such delicate work right now.

He was absolutely sure that Bo Ling must still be hiding somewhere in the Lanzi shop tonight, and it was absolutely impossible to run away.

Not to mention how much energy Bo Ling spent on the little girl named Nian Nian during this period, just take the matter of hiring the shed-dwellers below as an example, this matter is basically being pushed by Bo Ling—— Even Yuan Zhen, an outsider, can see that Bo Ling has great determination and faith in these two matters.

At any time, Berlin may take advantage of the chaos to escape, but it is impossible during this time.

Besides, who in Bo Ling was so good at using Lin Jieyu's borrowed knife to kill people? Others didn't know, but didn't he, Yuan Zhen?

Such a delicate little girl suddenly became stupid enough to trust a gambler, giving money and a name card, as if she was afraid that this trouble would not come to her in the future...

This is not borrowing a knife, what is it doing?

Yuan Zhen stood up, "I'll go out for a while, and keep the results of your calculations at hand for the time being, and wait for me to come back and read."

After leaving such a sentence, he strode out, the sound of abacus calculation behind him stopped slightly, and the harmony of the seven people was heard.

"understand".

……

Before Yuan Zhen crossed the trestle bridge leading to the outermost courtyard from the Lanzi shop, he heard a familiar whimper faintly in the night wind.

He heard this kind of voice a lot in the Department of Punishment.Usually those concubines who don't know their identities will yell like this when they are gagged and dragged all the way to the dungeon.

His voice was hoarse, but he couldn't speak a word that others could understand, so it sounded like the whimper of an animal.

The entourage stepped forward and opened the door for Yuan Zhen. Under the candlelight in the house, Yuan Zhen saw a man with a bad smell hanging from the beam.

Yuan Zhen covered his nose in disgust, and took back the half foot he had just stepped into the room.

"Drag it out and wash it with water." He said softly.

Several turtle claws hurried forward to put Li Sheng down. Li Sheng, who had been howling just now, suddenly quieted down—he stared blankly at Yuan Zhen's figure.

This person's voice...why does it sound like a father-in-law?
Why are there eunuchs in Lanzihao?
