The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 153
Growing up with the pack of wolves, Shen Ge walked out of the muddy dark alley, and smiled at the man with flickering eyes, "Who is this big brother?"

With Shen Ge's smile, the visitor let go of what he had been worried about, "The next one is Gao Wanzhi, a wood shop in Gaozhuang in the west of the city."

"It turned out to be Brother Gao." Shen Ge moved to the side, pulled a chair and asked Gao Wanzhi to sit down, and got close to him. The batch of thick fragrant fir trees in the shop made my mouth water."

Speaking of the batch of fragrant firs, Gao Wanzhi's expression changed, he straightened his waist and boasted of his medicinal materials, "The fifty fragrant fir trees were bought and shipped back by me at a high price, and they can be counted among the best in Xuanzhou city." !"

Looking at Gao Wanzhi's thumb with blue nails from the cold, Shen Ge asked curiously, "Brother Gao, if he is short of money, he would just sell the fragrant fir. Why sell heirlooms? My auction house It's not a pawn shop, and the things that are collected can never be redeemed."

Gao Wanzhi sighed, "I know the rules, if the wood can be sold at a good price, I won't be in such a difficult situation..."

Seeing that Gao Wanzhi and Shen Ge were chatting excitedly, He Jiongming, the son of Prince An who was sitting high in the hall, smiled and respected the merchants who toasted him from afar.

Song Tianxiang, the young owner of the Song family of the drug dealer, received the response from the son, so excited that he raised his neck and drank the wine, then lowered his glass to let the son show his sincerity.

He Jiongming held the cup in his right hand, covered his face with his left sleeve, raised his head and touched the wine with his lips, his movements were noble and elegant.Although he didn't drink a drop of wine, he won the goodwill of the merchants, and the atmosphere on the scene became much hotter.

The children of the aristocratic family watched carefully and began to imitate He Jiongming's every move.After He Jiongming enjoyed enough of the envious and adoring gazes of the crowd, he turned to ask Xuanzhou Governor Shi Ye Changjun beside him, "I have read the file, does Xu Luyuan's death have something to do with the medicine dealer Lin's family?"

Ye Changjun said rigorously, "My son, it was the relatives of the medicine dealer Lin's family who confessed that Mr. Xu ordered him to force the Lin family's slaves to poison him. Now there are only witnesses and no physical evidence."

He Jiongming nodded, and ordered, "After the banquet, my lord will leave the Lin family behind. I have something to ask about the case of lord Xu."

this……

Chang Shi Ye Changjun was a little embarrassed.Because the investigating officer selected by the imperial court from Anzhou was Shi Xulinglu, governor of Anzhou, not Prince An's son.Even though He Jiongming has a noble status, it is difficult for Ye Changjun to make a decision when it comes to the big Xuanzhou case. He has to ask the prefect who has left before making a decision.

He Jiongming lowered his eyes, and Xu Linglu, Secretary of Anzhou, said immediately, "Master Geng from Mianzhou and Lord Zheng from Hezhou are here, so why don't the three of us accompany your son to meet the Lin family?"

What does it mean to "accompany the prince" to meet the Lin family?Mianzhou Tongshou Geng Cunzhao felt that Xu Linglu's words were very unpleasant, but before he could open his mouth, Zheng Yongfu, secretary of Hezhou Sicang, said first, "It's important to investigate the case, and there are some things about low-ranking officials. I want to figure it out."

Two of the three investigators agreed, and Geng Cunzhao had no choice but to follow suit.In all fairness, he also wanted to investigate the case as soon as possible and go home for the New Year.

As if he didn't notice that He Jiongming left the meeting with several officials, Shen Ge continued to have a heated chat with Gao Wanzhi.Xiao Lin who was standing behind Shen Ge stepped back quietly.

Fang and Lin Ruyu were taken by officials to the Yingchun Courtyard behind the Lamei Pavilion. When they entered the room, they saw He Jiongming in a boa robe sitting in the middle, and there were a few officials standing beside him with faces. They knew that they were transferred from the three states by the imperial court. , the officials investigating Xu Luyuan's suicide case.

Xuanzhou Governor Shi Ye Changjun informed Fang of the official positions of everyone present, and explained his intention of calling them here today, so he turned his attention to He Jiongming.

Ye Changjun has already understood that, like Zheng Yongfu, the secretary of Zhouzhou, and Xu Linglu, Xu Linglu of Anzhou, they all follow the lead of Prince An's son.As for what Mr. Geng from Mianzhou was thinking, Ye Changjun hadn't figured it out yet.

After Xu Linglu asked Fang a few routine questions, he turned to the main topic, and Fang responded gracefully.

Fang’s words can be summed up as why the Lin family did not know why Xu Luyuan died; the Lin family did not know whether Xu Luyuan was involved in the murder of 34 people by the Lin family slaves.

What a mistress of the Lin family, she is really slippery.Xu Linglu frowned, Geng Cunzhao was expressionless, and Zheng Yongfu secretly looked at the prince's expression.

Seeing that the prince looked at the girl from the Lin family twice more, Zheng Yongfu coughed and asked, "Did Miss Lin see through Fang Caiwang's collusion with bandits?"

He Jiongming's eyes fell directly on Lin Ruyu. The little girl is dressed in pink and tender today, like a newborn bunny that has not yet grown its fur. People can't help but want to grab it and knead it.

Lin Ruyu saluted and replied, "My lord, yes."

Zheng Yongfu continued to ask, "How did the girl see through?"

Lin Ruyu had already answered these questions twice in the lobby, but she still answered them truthfully.Zheng Yongfu focused on the details and asked repeatedly. Lin Ruyu answered them one by one, and naturally mentioned the false An Ziyuan.

He Jiongming, who hadn't opened his mouth all this time, suddenly asked, "The fake An Ziyuan that the girl mentioned was brought up by Xiacai county government, the murderer of the murder of An's old servant?"

Lin Ruyu's tone didn't change, "Yes."

He Jiongming played with the jade buckle hanging from his waist, and asked, "Miss, do you know why the murderer pretended to be An Ziyuan?"

Lin Ruyu shook her head, "Ministers don't know."

He Jiongming said softly, "Young lady can say whatever comes to mind. The murderer has a sorcery trick of pretending to be someone else. If he is not caught as soon as possible, there will be endless disasters."

Isn't it easy to capture the fake An Ziyuan?Just hang a noose around your own neck.You will definitely not be able to do it yourself, so I will let this girl hang it for you.

Lin Ruyu looked at the floor tiles under her feet, with a little uncertainty in her respect, "That man once visited Mr. Dongzhu in Wusha Town, but Mr. Dongzhu had already gone out to visit friends at that time. After he didn't meet Mr. Returning to Xiacai by boat, when passing through Haolianzhai in Qi County, he sent his men to help Minnv save my mother and younger brother. So..."

He Jiongming held the jade buckle and raised his phoenix eyes to look at Lin Ruyu.

Lin Ruyu seemed to muster up her courage, then raised her head to look at He Jiongming, and said sincerely, "Although Minnv doesn't know why the murderer pretends to be An Ziyuan, he is willing to help Minnv save his family. So Minnv thinks that he pretended to be An Ziyuan , There must be a reason. The old servant of the An family was killed, and he did not necessarily do it, please check it out."

Several officials next to him showed disapproving expressions, and He Jiongming's eyes lit up a little.Fang pretended to be terrified, and bowed to plead guilty, "Little girl, please forgive me, my lord."

Seeing Lin Ruyu lower her head, He Jiongming smiled more intensely in his eyes, and said gently, "I allowed her to say whatever she thought of, what's the crime?"
