Chapter 58 Mutual aid
Li Xunchuan raised his spirits, and he locked Zhuo Ran firmly with his arms, so that she didn't get cold at all. Zhuo Ran put his hand on his arm and rubbed his fingertips against Li Xunchuan. It didn't hurt, but itched.

Li Xunchuan hugged her even tighter, blew softly into her ear, and said in a low voice, "Be careful when investigating things, I can't help you these days."

Zhuo Ran panted, she blinked her eyes, turned over in Li Yuchuan's arms and faced him, thought for a while and said, "Do you think this matter has something to do with Li Chengru?"

Li Xunchuan pulled the quilt to cover her, and said in a muffled voice, "But we don't have any evidence. We can check from Fanghu, or from He Xiyao, but you are only a secretary now, and you can't control so much."

Zhuo Ran understood that Li Yanchuan was also suspicious of Li Chengru. Now that they had a common goal, it was time to check. She was going to reach for the clothes, but was stopped by Li Yanchuan. Zhuo Ran sighed and said, "We can talk after the clothes are finished Is the governor not cold?"

Li Xunchuan shook his head, squeezed Zhuo Ran's hand and sweated, and said, "Wait a little longer."

She had just heard this sentence many times, and now she didn't believe it at all, Zhuo Ran struggled to go out, Li Yuchuan had to let go, the two of them got dressed, and immediately had nothing to say.

Zhuo Ran was stunned for a moment, and said: "There is something in your house, don't let someone find out, you still don't know anything."

Li Xunchuan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, don't worry."

"What are you laughing at?" Zhuo Ran couldn't understand Li Xunchuan's smile, Li Xunchuan said in a low voice, "Don't let people see the tooth marks on your neck, it can't be explained clearly."

Zhuo Ran was stunned for a while, then she looked at Li Yuchuan and smiled, and said: "Governor, let's take a look at yourself, don't just worry about me."

Li Xunchuan spread his hands: "What am I afraid of, I don't see anyone."

Zhuo Ran walked out slowly, Li Yanchuan consciously locked the cell door, Xiao Fugui fell asleep waiting, it was almost dawn when Zhuo Ran called him.

Xiao Fugui rubbed his eyes, and said in a daze, "Master Si Ye, it's so early..."

Zhuo Ran lowered her head and smiled, and said, "Go on to sleep, I'm leaving first."

"Okay." Xiao Fugui lay down on the table, changed into a comfortable position and continued to sleep.

Jiang Rulan was sitting in the lobby with a straight posture, which had not changed for several hours. Xiyu and Wu Song watched Jiang Rulan's people rummaging through boxes and boxes, and then lay down on the table to search for evidence carefully.

Wu Song pulled Xiyu's skirt and said in a low voice, "Brother Yu, when are they going to leave? I'm so sleepy..."

Xiyu shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, if you are sleepy, you can lean against me and rest for a while, and if he makes any movement, I will call you."

Wu Song approached Xiyu, supported his back and fell asleep.

As soon as Zhuo Ran arrived in front of the Governor's Mansion outside, he found the person who had been following behind him.As soon as Li Xunchuan's order came, Chang Yinyu couldn't wait to hang up his badge and run away. As a result, these days, one after another, he didn't even see Zhuo Ran's face. He finally followed people last night, but Zhuo Ran just stayed inside. All night, Chang Yinyu waited so hard that he was going crazy.

Zhuo Ran saw that he was dressed as a talented scholar, smiled and said: "Abandon martial arts and follow literature, he really has his own ideas."

Chang Yinyu sighed, and said: "Young junior sister will cover me up more in the future, but now I'm following you."

Zhuo Ran nodded: "Naturally. However, what should I call you in the future? Senior brother must be inappropriate, and it is easy to arouse suspicion."

"You can call it whatever you like, and you can call it whatever you like." Chang Yinyu stretched his waist, saw the tooth marks on Zhuo Ran's neck, smiled knowingly, and said, "Young Junior Sister, can you make progress so quickly?"

Zhuo Ran licked the corner of her lips in embarrassment, and said, "What are you thinking, I just got scratched by something accidentally."

Chang Yinyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"

Zhuo Ran turned around and walked straight away ignoring him, Chang Yinyu followed and said: "Little sister, don't be angry, I'm talking nonsense, where are you going now, I..."

Zhuo Ran stopped in her tracks, looked serious, and said, "I believe you already know what happened these few days, time is running out, I have many things that I don't have time to explain to you, but I will tell you in the future."

Chang Yinyu frowned, and said: "Young junior sister is too polite, how about this, I will go in with you, and I can help you if there is anything."

Zhuo Ran nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiang Rulan checked the account books. Although the Governor's Mansion is large, the furnishings are simple. It is said that the Governor's Mansion is magnificent, but in fact it is really not worth a lot of money. There is nothing suspicious after checking all night.Not to mention the correspondence with Liuli, these female family members still cannot enter Li Yanchuan's room on weekdays.

Xi Yu glanced at Zhuo Ran, followed by a well-dressed beast.

He lightly shook his shoulders, Wu Song was woken up, and seeing Zhuo Ran immediately opened his eyes wide, couldn't hide his excitement, and whispered: "Si Ye is here to help us."

Xi Yu frowned, he shook his head: "Not necessarily."

It was Jiang Rulan's first official meeting with Zhuo Ran, and he was well-informed, but he hadn't seen many women like Zhuo Ran, so he could only sigh in his heart that she looked so good.

Zhuo Ran leaned slightly, and said, "I've seen Lord Yushi."

Jiang Rulan hurriedly stood up, returned the salute, and said, "It's Mr. Si Ye, come, come, sit down and talk."

Jiang Rulan was a simple person, without the slightest bit of intellect, and she was so passionate that Zhuo Ran didn't know what to do.Zhuo Ran smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite, Prison Fu asked me to pass a message to you."

Jiang Rulan said, "What's the matter? But the governor..."

Zhuo Ran saw that Wu Song and Xiyu tensed their bodies instantly, pursed their lips, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I went to the imperial prison last night. The governor is fine, but someone was assassinated."

"Assassination?" Jiang Rulan raised her voice and said, "Who did it?"

Xiyu frowned, and Chang Yinyu followed behind and raised his shoulders slightly, expressing that he didn't know either.

Zhuo Ran said: "Last night, when midnight passed, someone sneaked into the imperial prison. Prison Fu had already prepared for it, and changed the governor's cell to the innermost one, so nothing happened."

Jiang Rulan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's fine if there's nothing to do, and it's fine if there's nothing to do, so what about the jailer...?"

Zhuo Ran lowered her eyes and said: "Prisoner Fu is still conducting investigations at the Forbidden Military Academy, and he will be back soon. After the investigation is over, my lord, I will go to the prison with you. There are many things that have to be decided by the censor."

Jiang Rulan left a few people to continue the investigation, then turned around and left the mansion with Zhuo Ran.

Seeing that someone had gone out, Xiyu immediately stopped Chang Yinyu and said, "Changgou! What's the matter with you, what are you doing with Zhuo Siye now?"

Chang Yinyu showed his face a lot. Although there is no information about him in the Forbidden Army now, it is inappropriate for this face to be displayed in the Governor's Mansion.

Chang Yinyu shook the ear of jade on his waist, wiped some rouge on his face, and said, "Don't worry, I've found a job to be a guard for Mr. Si Ye. Look at the quality of this rouge." , Excellent."

Wu Song frowned and said, "Isn't she on good terms with Master, why do you want to check Master?"

Xiyu sighed, and said: "The most poisonous woman's heart, you are still too young, Zhuo Siye is just playing with the master every time, so you should take it seriously."

Wu Song was still thinking about the candied haws that Zhuo Ran bought for him that day, and never thought of her as a villain, but today she and Jiang Rulan went to the prison to investigate the master, Wu Song was so conflicted that he didn't speak.

Chang Yinyu patted the little man's head and said, "Ham, don't worry, my family may not be so ruthless."

Xiyu snorted, he rolled his eyes, pointed to his neck and said, "Look at the traces of your family here, he is skittish, and he is not special at all."

He was loyal to Li Xunchuan, so he naturally didn't see any disrespect for Li Xunchuan, so he could only complain when Zhuo Ran was not around.

Chang Yinyu sighed, wanted to say but couldn't, smiled, and said, "No matter what they are, our brothers are all brothers, and we need to help you a lot in the future."

Xi Yu stared, then pulled Wu Song away.

***
Fu Sisi found nothing in the Forbidden Army. Originally, Zhuo Ran had told her that this matter could not be investigated. All the evidence of the sword pointing at Li Yanchuan could only be found without trace. The most important thing is to investigate from Fang Hu.

But Chu Shiyu told her that she didn't dare to relax, she was tired from the stalemate all night, so Fu Sisi went back to the imperial prison.

There was not much movement at midnight last night, and the guards of the imperial prison were not disturbed. Zhuo Ran led people into the cell, and Fu Sisi happened to be there too.

Jiang Rulan frowned, and said, "The governor was assassinated, if this matter is reported to His Majesty, he will have to pay the jailer."

Fu Sisi said in a low voice: "Thank you, Mr. Yu Shi, for your concern. Let's go and see how the Governor is doing. If this matter can be suppressed, we will investigate it ourselves."

Jiang Rulan nodded, followed Fu Sisi and Zhuo Ran into the cell, Li Xunchuan put the quilt on his chest, and slept soundly with his eyes closed.Fu Sisi unscrewed the iron lock, and Jiang Rulan ran in immediately. He thought Li Yanchuan was injured, so he hurriedly woke him up.

Li Xunchuan frowned, and was taken aback when he saw Jiang Rulan. He sat up and said, "Master Jiang is here too."

Jiang Rulan looked at him carefully, and said, "The Governor is fine, I heard from Si Ye that there was an assassination last night."

Li Xunchuan raised his eyes, as if he had just noticed Zhuo Ran, he frowned slightly, and said, "Master Si Ye has to worry about my life and death. This assassination must have been arranged by Lord Si Ye."

Zhuo Ran chuckled, and said: "The governor was joking. After talking with the governor last night, I left. How can I have a chance to assassinate him?"

Li Xunchuan glanced at her neck, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Oh?"

Zhuo Ran pulled the collar unnaturally, and said: "Does the governor have to choose such a time to take revenge on me? It's too unwise. At least we have to wait until the governor's injustice is avenged."

"What a sharp mouth, don't you practice less?" Li Xunchuan stared and said, "Why do you have such an expression, do you want to make a move here?"

Fu Sisi was a little puzzled, when she was talking to Zhuo Ran yesterday, she saw that her words did not show any hostility towards Li Yuchuan, why she was so angry today.

Jiang Rulan hurriedly said, "Why are you so angry? Your body belongs to you. Don't get so angry that you lose your body. The Governor and Si Ye will stop bickering. You still have business to talk about."

Li Xunchuan stood up, bumped into Zhuo Ran and walked to the front of the table. He sat down and said, "There was indeed an assassination last night, and they passed by here. They stepped across the roof and went to the southwest."

Around midnight, Li Yanchuan tightly protected Zhuo Ran in his arms, not letting her get a little wind, Zhuo Ran sweated from being bitten, and curled up in Li Yanchuan's arms. Li Yanchuan kept paying attention, and when he heard the sound of the roof, he fell silent After a while, Zhuo Ran also heard it.

She raised her neck slightly and said in a low voice, "...someone..."

Li Xunchuan kissed her, exerted a little force from his body, and whispered, "...don't worry about it."

After an unknown period of time, there was no movement at all.

Li Xunchuan buried her neck and said, "...It seems that some people really can't stand their temper."

Zhuo Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's investigate this matter slowly, don't report it to His Majesty..."

Li Xunchuan hugged him tightly and said, "Listen to you."
