Chapter 179
Zhang Zhidong was surprised and said, "But the Ruan family from Chenxiang, Lezhou? His family is the richest man in Lezhou."

Lin Jiangcheng looked at him with a smile: "There is an imperial convict in his family, if you dare to report to them in advance..." A stern look flashed across his face, "Believe it or not, I'll kill you first and then play it. I can't handle you."

Zhang Zhidong hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't dare, I don't dare. But," Zhang Zhidong looked at Lin Jiangcheng's face and said, "This Ruan family is usually kind and generous, and has done a lot of good things. In our Lezhou, Quite famous. How could there be criminals in his family?"

Lin Jiangcheng said: "Which big family doesn't have an unscrupulous son? It's just that this unscrupulous son of his family has committed a major crime."

Zhang Zhidong nodded quickly: "Then the official will understand. Please rest in the post house, and we will go tomorrow morning."

Lin Jiangcheng took Zhuang Yuyan to the post house, and he had nothing to say that night.

Early the next morning, Lin Jiangcheng took Zhuang Yuyan, Zhang Zhidong and others to Ruan's house in Chenxiang.

The Ruan family's mansion is quite ancient, and it looks like a century-old family.The head of the Ruan family rushed out to greet Master Zhang when he heard that Master Zhang was coming.He greeted Zhang Zhidong with a smile on his face.

Zhang Zhidong hurriedly introduced: "This is the imperial envoy from the capital, the prince and concubine of Yongle."

When Patriarch Ruan heard that it was an imperial envoy, he was taken aback. He also felt strange when he heard that it was the prince and concubine.He didn't dare to ask more questions, so he had to accompany Lin Jiangcheng and others into the mansion.

Along the way in Linjiang City, one can see that the mansion is sparsely arranged with flowers and trees, which looks like it was written by a famous artist.At first glance, it is a connotative style of everyone, not a nouveau riche who blindly flaunts his wealth.He also praised: "This house is not only exquisite, but also sparse, it is indeed a good place."

The head of the Ruan family also smiled when he heard the words: "This house has been in existence for more than 120 years. We, the descendants of the next generation, have been honored by our ancestors."

Lin Jiangcheng came to the flower hall, sat down, and asked, "Ruan Leyi, is your lady?"

Patriarch Ruan was shocked: "It's been many years since Le Yi passed away, this is..."

Lin Jiangcheng said: "Ruan Leyi left behind a daughter named Zhao Yirou, do you know?"

A trace of panic flashed across the head of the Ruan family: "This..." He hesitated, "What does the daughter of the Zhao family have to do with our Ruan family?"

Lin Jiangcheng said: "This Zhao Yirou is an imperial convict on the run. If you know something, tell the truth. If you conceal something, you may be charged with harboring an imperial convict."

Patriarch Ruan blurted out: "Yirou, how could she be..."

Lin Jiangcheng didn't speak, but looked at him coldly.

Zhang Zhidong hurriedly said: "If you know something, tell it quickly. This Zhao Yirou is just your cousin, there is absolutely no reason to bring trouble to the whole family for her sake."

Patriarch Ruan let out a long sigh: "This Zhao Yirou has indeed been here, but it was many years ago."

He looked at Lin Jiangcheng: "We didn't know she was a prisoner at the time. We thought her parents were dead and homeless, so we took her in. She lived in Ruan Leyi's former yard. Later, she left suddenly. We were surprised, but we didn’t ask any more questions. We only thought that she went back to the Zhao family to visit relatives. I didn’t expect..."

Lin Jiangcheng asked, "Is Ruan Leyi's yard still there?"

Patriarch Ruan said: "The courtyard is still there, and it's lived by a young lady from our family."

Lin Jiangcheng said: "Let that young lady stay away for a while, we're going to have a look."
