Xiao Yan lowered his head.

"Not yet."

The emperor slapped the table, "No one was caught, so there are always clues?"

Xiao Yan paused, "Yes, but not many, not enough to lock down the murderer."

"I don't care about that, in short, if you don't arrest the murderer within the time limit, you, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, will wait to be punished from top to bottom!
You are the first one in history for being incompetent and punishing your subordinates! "

Coming out of the imperial study room, Xiao Yan's face was serious.

"Master Xiao really didn't identify the murderer, or is the hero saddened by the beauty pass?"

As he was walking outside, Liang Xiao approached without knowing when, and suddenly whispered something in Xiao Yan's ear.

Xiao Yan turned to look at him.

Liang Xiao whistled at Xiao Yan, "Did I say something wrong?"

Xiao Yan didn't say a word to him, turned his head and strode out.

Liang Xiao looked indifferent, and followed Xiao Yan's side, "Master Xiao is investigating me? What can I investigate? What does Master Xiao want to know, just ask me directly? I will know everything and talk endlessly, There is no half-sentence concealment."

Xiao Yan ignored him.

Liang Xiao said again: "Lord Xiao really doesn't know the murderer? Otherwise, let me give you a reminder? This murderer came from Qianzhou. Two girls, one of them has big eyes and is very attractive. I'm afraid there are not many of them." If a man can bear those eyes looking at him with affection, can Lord Xiao bear it?"

Xiao Yan felt that this Liang Xiao was simply sick.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Why didn't you arrest Lu Jia?" Liang Xiao said bluntly now.

Xiao Yan paused, turned his head to look at Liang Xiao, "Master Liang knows so much, why don't you report it to the emperor yourself?"

"I can't bear it." Liang Xiao looked a little stingy, he suddenly moved closer to Xiao Yan, and said in a low voice: "After all, a husband and wife can be kind for a hundred days."

Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly burst into anger.

"Master Liang, don't you feel ashamed of yourself? You have a wife and son, you boast of being single-minded, and you don't even have a concubine, and now you say this? Are you afraid that Lord Zhen will know that you are a good son-in-law?"

Liang Xiao sneered, "Why would he know? Could it be that Lu Jia would go to Duke Zhen and tell him? Or would I say it? If she doesn't say it, I won't tell it. How does Lord Zhen know? Is it possible that Lord Xiao is going to tell it?"

Xiao Yan looked at Liang Xiao with scrutiny in his eyes, "Master Liang is really interesting, his father-in-law was almost killed by the bomb, and now he is telling me this?"

"Haven't you heard? A white-eyed wolf came from a poor family, married Gao Fumei, killed his father-in-law and his wife, and all the family property is mine."

Xiao Yan:.
What the hell is this thing!
Liang Xiao walked away after finishing his stupid talk.

Xiao Yan was left with a dazed expression and doubts about life.

After leaving the palace gate, Shisan came up to meet him, "My lord, there is a message from the mansion to ask you to go back. It is said that Master Hou has returned."

Xiao Yan was taken aback.

During the years when his mother passed away, he always had a layer of reverence and cautious expectations for his father in his heart, looking forward to more attention and more recognition, so that his father felt that he, as his mother's son, was worthy of Rong An The position of the son of the Hou family, the Lu family is not as good as him.

But now.
Knowing the truth about his mother's death, Xiao Yan heard his father come back at this time and said, "The yamen still has something to deal with, so I can't go back now, and the family banquet doesn't have to wait for me."

With his mother gone, the family banquet at that family meant nothing to him.

In the past, there was a grandmother and a father. Now, the person who may be closest to him is only thirteen.

"I asked you to check Liang Xiao, how did you go?"

"I have already sent people to Yunzhou. At the beginning, he bought horses from the prefect of Yunzhou as a horse dealer. He started to check from Yunzhou first, and the result may have to wait for three to five days."

"What has Lu Jia been doing these days?"

"I go to the household department to be on duty every day. I hardly care about the tavern. Chunbao doesn't come out of the house every day. The Second Highness is still unconscious and lying there all the time. It's not a problem. My son, the emperor doesn't care about it, just look at this."

Thirteen felt outrageous.

How many days have passed since the second prince was injured, the emperor asked the imperial physician who went to treat the illness on the first day how his injury was, and asked about the arrest of Xiao Yan's murderer, but he never asked again after that.

Thirteen even wondered if the emperor had forgotten that he had such a son.

"Just put it there, Lu Jia may be useful."

After all, the one who prevented the second prince from waking up was Lu Jia.

Mentioning this person, Xiao Yan's tense face eased slightly, and Thirteen said beside him: "By the way, Painter Gu's wife gave birth, and Painter Gu wanted to take a few days off to take care of his wife at home, saying that his wife was bleeding heavily during childbirth." .”

Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched when he heard the word bleeding.

"How are people?"

"Painter Gu said that fortunately, he invited a famous doctor who is good at bleeding women. After three days and three nights of treatment, he finally came back to life, and the child was born."

"How?" Xiao Yan thought of the freak that Lu Jia said her mother gave birth to, and his eyes sharpened.

Thirteen knew about those things, and he also knew why Xiao Yan had sharp eyes, "Gu's wife gave birth to twins, two daughters. The doctor who saw Gu's wife said that more than ten years ago, he had met A woman gave birth to a child with one body and two heads.

The doctor also said that the child was still alive when he was thrown away, and the family was really cruel.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the child was crying heartbreakingly on the side of the road.

He couldn't bear it, so he took the child back. It was wrong to have two heads sharing one body. Even if he fed the child, he would not live long, so he stabbed the child. "

Xiao Yan almost stopped breathing.

"he"

"The child is alive, she is a girl, and she will be fifteen or sixteen this year."

Thirteen's voice paused, glanced around, and said the last sentence under his voice, "At that time, there was a word embroidered on the quilt, Jia."

Xiao Yan could hardly even react.

It was like being demented for a moment.

Looking at Thirteen in shock and bewilderment, "What did you say?"

Shisan Dao: "The doctor also said that after he revived the child, he thought that he was a traveling doctor, after all he would not be able to give the child a stable life, and it was not convenient for him to take a baby with him when he was practicing medicine.

The child was sent to Jishantang. "

Jishantang is a place for those abandoned children in Kyoto. There are special teaching nuns in it. Boys grow up to be exiled into the army, and girls grow up. In terms of talent and beauty, they either become medical girls, enter the palace as maids, or enter music workshops .

Xiao Yan originally guessed where Lu Jia was.

Now that Shisan is talking about Jishantang, Xiao Yan's heart is full, and there is an inexplicable disappointment in an instant.
