reborn princess

Chapter 363
"Otherwise? Do you think I'm really relieved to let these little guys run around?" Shen Luo glanced at him lightly, got up and performed lightness kung fu, and swept to the roof of a shop next door.

Xuan Yu hurriedly followed, "I checked the inn a long time ago, and there is nothing wrong with it. According to the shopkeeper, no guests left the inn except Song Hengzhi when the case happened."

Shen Luo said: "The children see things differently from us, maybe the details we ignore will really be noticed by them."

Ye Weilan followed Xuan Chen to the county yamen, got off the horse at the gate, tied the horse to the hitching post, and left Du Xihua to watch the horses, Xuan Chen brought Ye Weilan and Luan Ying to the gate, The yamen servant rushing to the door asked, "Is the magistrate here?"

The gatekeeper didn't know the two of them, so one of them asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do with the county magistrate?"

Hearing that he spoke with a capital accent, Xuan Chen raised his brows slightly, but because of the war more than ten years ago, people from all over the border were displaced. Now that the border cities are being rebuilt, most of the local residents are homeless. There are refugees from all over the place, and there are people from all over the place, so it is not surprising that they have a capital accent.

He took out a gold-plated bronze medal from his pocket and handed it over, "I am the prince's son of Changping County, I have something important to see your master!"

The yamen servant was startled when he saw the gold medal, and then knelt down on one knee to greet him, "Little man Su Hui, please greet the eldest son!"

"Get up, what are you kneeling on the street? Let everyone watch." Xuan Chen quickly called him up.

The yamen servant then said: "Please come with the villain!"

With that said, he turned around and led the way in front, and brought Xuan Chen in.

Xuan Chen frowned slightly as soon as he entered, looked around, and realized that there were surprisingly many hidden and obvious stakes here, and was puzzled in his heart. It's really incredible.

But he didn't say anything, just followed the yamen servant who led the way to the back hall.

The yamen servant stopped at the door of a study room, and said loudly: "My lord, the prince of Changping County seeks to see you!"

A warm and clear voice came from the study, "Let him in!"

Hearing this voice, Ye Weilan's heart tightened, she stepped back abruptly, this voice...how could it be?
How could this person be here?

"His Royal Highness?" Xuan Chen heard this voice, uttered an inconceivable doubt, stretched out his hand to push open the door and walked in.

I saw a young man with a jade-like crown sitting behind the desk by the window. This man wore a silver crown on his head. He looked plump and handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and red lips. He was wearing a blue sea-blue plain robe. , sitting there gracefully, flipping through the files.

He raised his head with a smile, and looked at Xuan Chen who had a surprised expression on his face, "Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Xuan Chen quickly knelt down and saluted him, "His Royal Highness!"

"Calm down quickly, it's not in the palace, how can there be so many rules." It turns out that this person is not someone else, but the current prince Xuanyuan Nuo.

Xuan Chen stood up and said, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

After hearing Xuan Chen's question, Xuanyuan Nuo said with a smile: "In the past, I always heard stories about the emperor's private visits and investigations of the sufferings of the people from your mother, so I also wanted to follow suit, so I asked my father to participate in it as an identity." For this year's examination, a county magistrate was released."

Xuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "No wonder I came all the way in, and found a lot of piles of exposed and hidden piles in the yard. I also said that it was such a big show, it turned out to be His Royal Highness. But you are too nonsense, running like this Come out, what if the news leaks out?"

"It doesn't matter, I am accompanied by Grand Tutor Baili, and your father and General Baili are also there. I just announced to the outside world that I would go out to travel, and then I found someone to pretend to be me, and took the guards in my palace to go south. "Xuanyuannuo said, got up and walked in front of Xuan Chen, stretched out his hand and lightly beat Xuan Chen's chest. "Good boy, look at your appearance, you have practiced martial arts well."

Xuan Chen smiled slightly, turned his face to look at the door, but found that Ye Weilan did not follow in, "His Royal Highness, wait a moment, I will introduce someone to you."

As he spoke, he strode out of the study room, but seeing Ye Weilan standing blankly outside the door, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you doing standing here? Come, let me introduce you to someone!"

He took Ye Weilan's hand and dragged her into the study.

At this time, Ye Weilan's heart was like cooking with oil, she never dreamed that after meeting Xuan Chen, she would meet this person again so soon.

His Royal Highness, her previous husband.

The unbearable memories of her previous life flooded her mind in an instant, she was not ready yet, she didn't know what kind of expression she should face him.

She didn't know how she should face this man who was only indifferent and indifferent to him in his previous life.

But before she had prepared herself well, Xuan Chen had dragged her into this study.

When she looked up, she saw him.

"Lan'er, this is His Royal Highness, please greet His Royal Highness quickly." Xuan Chen let go of her hand and motioned her to greet the Prince. Although he grew up with the Prince, some etiquette cannot be broken, his mother He once warned him that no matter how close he is to the prince, he can't really treat the prince as his brother, big or small, and he must be respectful to the prince!

The reason why he did this was to show others that he was so close to the crown prince and he had to be respectful to the crown prince, so that the second prince's faction would not dare to be disrespectful to the crown prince.The second point is that her mother has repeatedly warned him that the crown prince is the crown prince, and the future emperor, as the saying goes, 'A companion is like a tiger', they must always warn themselves, apart from being close to the prince, keep a certain distance is the safest.

Ye Weilan moved stiffly and wanted to salute Xuanyuan Nuo, but because of a moment of panic, she even forgot which side to put her hands on when saluting, and gestured left and right several times before she found the right posture and saluted the prince.

"His Royal Highness... please greet..." she said with difficulty.

She hated this man who cut off her life in the previous life, but she couldn't kill him in this life, because she had to use him if she wanted to successfully bring down the Wen clan.

Seeing that she suddenly became so flustered, Xuan Chen hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, Lan'er is my fiancee. I have never seen any important person before. Knowing that you are the prince, I must be frightened. Don't be angry."

"It's okay, let's get back together." Seeing her flustered, Xuanyuan Nuo didn't take it as disobedience, and said kindly. "I've heard that Brother Chen is engaged. I haven't had a chance to meet you. Today is a good time for you to come. Don't go back at noon. Stay for dinner. I'll let the kitchen prepare some good dishes."

It was only then that Ye Weilan realized that she had lost face just now, and she didn't even remember how to greet someone, her drooping little face was a little red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Xuan Chen said: "I'm not in a hurry to eat. I came to you today because of something important. Song Hengzhi, the magistrate of Yunshan County who disappeared two months ago, is Lan'er's relative. We are here to ask you to read the files. Looking for clues."

"Ah... this case, I am also looking through the files." Xuanyuan Nuo pointed at the mountain of files on the desk, then raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. "This case is very complicated. It's a shame that after so many years, no official has taken this case seriously."

"It's no wonder those officials. My father made a sand table. I looked at it. There are no more than a dozen missing people in each county, and they are all from different villages. They disappeared one after another in ten years. The county magistrate changes every three years. It is possible to be re-elected, and at most it can only be re-elected for another three years, and these disappearances really cannot be taken seriously."

"Yes, the criminal is very cunning. Every time he kidnaps a commoner, he will go far away to commit the crime. He has never committed crimes in the same county continuously." Xuanyuan Nuo said, pointing to the study room chair. "Sit down and talk."

Xuan Chen pulled Ye Weilan to sit down, and after a while, a girl with very delicate eyebrows and eyes tiptoed in with a few cups of tea, and after putting it down, she backed out without a sound.

Xuanyuan Nuo said: "This is only a part of the files, and the other files are in the file room. If you want to read them all, I can ask someone to fetch them."

Ye Weilan suddenly said: "Don't dare to disturb His Royal Highness, let's go to the dossier room to check the dossier, so as not to make people rush back and forth."

Xuanyuan Nuo said with a smile: "It's okay, there are so many people, and everyone can brainstorm. To be honest, this is the first case I encountered, but it stumped me. Although the King of Changping has sent people out, I want to It is necessary to lure the snake out of the hole, but it has been two months, and there have been no cases of disappearances in other places, it is obvious that the snake has been alerted, if you want to catch the kidnappers, it will not be easy to find Mr. Song."

Xuan Chen asked, "Didn't you say that my fourth uncle is also here? Does he have any opinion on this case?"

"It's also helpless!" Xuanyuan Nuo's silver plate-like face showed a sad look, this time he lost an official of the imperial court, which was different from ordinary people. "You haven't met Mrs. Baili yet, have you? I'll have someone invite him to meet you."

As he spoke, he raised his voice, "Come on!"

Immediately someone opened the door and walked in, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Go and invite Grand Tutor Baili here." Xuanyuan Nuo said to Xuan Chen after finishing his orders. "Brother Chen, please don't call me Your Highness the Crown Prince in front of people. My pseudonym is Li Chengxuan. Taifu Baili is now my master, Master Bei."

Xuan Chen nodded, "Then I will call you my lord from now on."

Xuanyuan Nuo smiled, turned to look at Ye Weilan, "Miss Ye, I heard that your master is Master Shen Luoshen?"

Ye Weilan's heart moved, she didn't understand how he would mention Shen Luo to herself, but she still replied: "The master of the little girl is Shen Luo, but he is not an adult."
