After the first fool

Chapter 119 Prepare to Reverse the Case
For three days in a row, Mo Xiaoran stayed in the palace obediently, waiting for the news from Bai Qingluo. Sui Lang had arrived in the small town. According to Mo Xiaoran's instructions, he investigated Ziyan's parents' remains. Investigating people in the martial arts, two arrows shot together.

Mo Xiaoran stayed in Fengqi Palace, flipping through the letter back and forth countless times.

"Miss, you can rest for a while." Xiaozhu came in with tea, saw her take out the letter paper again, and said with a little emotion, "Isn't the wording on it the same?" Need to watch it three or four times a day?
Mo Xiaoran casually picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said, "I'm looking to see if I can find some more clues."

After all, the more evidence they have in their hands, the greater the initiative they have.

"My servant really doesn't know why you are so concerned about other people's affairs." But what about her own?The emperor has not even stepped into the gate of Fengqi Palace for many days, and he goes back and forth between Chaoyang Hall and Luoyue Hall every day. The lady is not in a hurry, but...

She changed her mind and thought of Bai Qingluo whom she met twice when she went out of the palace. Could it be that he is the person she likes in her heart, and that's why she turned a blind eye to the emperor, right?

Mo Xiaoran raised her eyebrows slightly, and a soft smile appeared on her lips: "Since I promised Ziyan, I have to do well, besides, this is my dream." It is also her career!
Xiao Zhu was confused by what he heard, so he could only hold his cheeks, while serving her, while watching her keep looking for clues on the letter paper.

The night was as cool as water, and Bai Zixu turned over Concubine Shu's sign again. The lights inside and outside Fengxi Palace were dim, and Mo Xiaoran was lying on the desk, using a brush to connect the events with lines. After a while, she yawned, folded the rice paper, and was just about to get dressed and go to sleep, when outside the window, there was a cold wind blowing wantonly, and Mo Xiaoran's brows frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"

Bai Qingluo was dressed in the wind and dust, and his ink-colored brocade robe drew a graceful arc in the air. He stood in the center of the bedroom, and the frost slowly spread from his deep eyes: "I found those people from the Jianghu."

A gleam of light flashed across Mo Xiaoran's eyes, she grabbed his sleeve excitedly, and asked a little excitedly, "Where is it?"

"I'll take you there." She wrapped her arms around her waist with a backhand, and brought her into her arms. With her strong chest, under the palm of her hand, she could clearly feel the sound of his strong heartbeat, like a drum beating. Mo Xiaoran buried her head in his chest, sniffing the familiar fragrance of dragon tongue flowers on his body, a strange feeling was spreading in her heart, without notifying Xiaozhu, the two flew out of the palace wall under the cover of night, and gradually The line drifts away.

The sky above his head was dotted with morning stars, as if he could touch it with his hands. With his feet lightly touching the branches, his figure was as fast as lightning and as swift as a strong wind.

The whistling evening wind messed up Mo Xiaoran's black hair, strand by strand, drawing black afterimages in the air.

"Where are we going?" This is obviously not the way to Yanyu Tower, she asked suspiciously, raised her head, and all she could see was his perfect face as cold as a knife, his exquisite jaw, and his hands Subconsciously grabbed his skirt to prevent his body from falling.

Bai Qingluo smiled faintly, "Go see them."

"How long is it?" Mo Xiaoran almost flew over half of the imperial city, and Mo Xiaoran didn't even know her destination. The voice fell from the top of the head, with a hint of softness, "It's almost here, if you are afraid, close your eyes."

No matter whether she is afraid or not, after hearing this sentence, even if she wants to avoid making a fool of herself, she can't close her eyes, right?
Mo Xiaoran slandered in her heart, her eyes widened. Although she didn't have a fear of heights, floating in the air that seemed to defy gravity, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart. .

He saw her strangeness in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, couldn't this woman be more vulnerable once in a while?What are you always so stubborn about?
In the south of the imperial city, a remote courtyard floated down, surrounded by overgrown weeds, gray walls and red tiles, and a red-painted gate already showing traces of time, the beams of the house were covered with spider webs, and the bluestone On the ground, fallen leaves are piled up like a mountain, and the branches of a few old trees with vicissitudes are slack, and the crows perched on the trunks are weeping and wailing.

Here, it is dark and quiet, just like a haunted house in a movie.

Mo Xiaoran's heart twitched slightly, but there was no expression of fear on her face. As soon as her feet landed on the ground, she withdrew from Bai Qingluo's embrace, straightened her hair that was blown wildly by the wind, and turned her eyes towards Sweeping around: "Where are people?"

Bai Qingluo raised his hand to brush away a lock of hair on her forehead, and pointed to the closed gate of the house: "It's inside."

Mo Xiaoran ran up the steps and pushed the door open with all her strength. There was a loud creak, like rusty iron colliding with each other, making people creepy. A smell of dust came to her face. She covered her breath, and saw In a room directly in front, candlelight was flickering, and on the paper-pasted windows, people could still be seen faintly inside.

"Qingfeng brought people here directly." Bai Qingluo walked to her side and said in a deep voice.

"Where is this?" Mo Xiaoran asked, pursing her lips. No matter how you look at it, this place looks like the yard of a rich family in the past, but it was abandoned for some reason.

"This is one of the properties under my name. Usually, few people come here." Bai Qingluo did not hide it.

I can't tell, he is still a rich man, Mo Xiaoran glanced at him strangely, it was right, how could a man like him, who couldn't hide his noble aura despite not knowing his identity, have no money?

"If you convert this house into cash, how much silver can you get?" Mo Xiaoran asked hesitantly, thinking wildly.

Bai Qingluo thought for a while before saying, "About 50 silver."

He gave an almost shocking price, and Mo Xiaoran stared wide-eyed in astonishment, her eyes were like copper bells, and she looked at him like a ghost, "You said that if I leave the palace in the future, I will have no money on me, and I will treat you like a cat." If you sell it, can you buy the entire palace?"

What's going on in her head all day?
Bai Qingluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry from the bottom of his heart. He lifted his feet and walked outside the room. With a wave of his big hand, a powerful internal force under his sleeves directly closed the door. The door slammed open and opened wide to the inside. Qingfeng was standing in the middle of the room. One hand was already on the handle of the knife, and seeing that it was the two of them, he let go of his hand, and the guard on his face also slowly receded.

"Master." He nodded slightly and saluted Bai Qingluo.

"Go in." Bai Qingluo turned sideways to let Mo Xiaoran advance, with full courtesy, "The person you want to meet is inside."

She was not polite, and walked inside with her feet up, and saw three men squatting side by side in the corner of the empty square room in this not-so-big room. He was tied up with a rope and huddled in the corner of the wall. When he saw someone coming in, his eyebrows stood upright, and he looked fierce. If it wasn't for the round handkerchief stuffed in his mouth, he would have cursed a long time ago. How could it be like this, just whimpering? Going and roaring.

"According to your order, I specially went to investigate the people in the martial arts world who robbed the prison four years ago. Unfortunately, there were eight people who did it. Now, only three of them are still alive." People have always walked on the edge of the sword, but in just four years, more than half of the people who participated in the prison robbery died, which really surprised him.

Mo Xiaoran nodded indifferently, and slowly approached the three people in the corner, met their angry but implicit gaze from Space, her heart trembled slightly, but her expression was unmoved.

"Be careful," Bai Qingluo grabbed her wrist, motioning her not to get too close, "They are dangerous."

"These three people are now thugs who are ambushing on the official road and robbing the trains of merchants!" Qingfeng explained, "I have already interrogated, and it is said that they went to the prison to abduct this person, who was also the eighth brother. The boss, the end of the shogunate." Qingfeng pointed to the man at the end of the corner, whose cheeks turned red quickly due to holding his breath, "I checked his identity. Four years ago, the eight brothers were an organization known as thieves in the rivers and lakes. Because they robbed the rich and helped the poor. The government left a record of the crime, and fell into the tricks of the town's officials, which led to the capture of the end of the shogunate. He was imprisoned for three months and tortured. After he came out, he was hunted down by the government. Eight brothers died and five people died. In order to hijack merchants and become thugs in the mountains."

Qingfeng almost investigated the family background at the end of the shogunate, took out a background investigation letterhead of the three of them from his bosom, a few thin pages, recorded their life, and handed it to Mo Xiaoran.

She flipped through it casually, and had to say, these three people, in the first half of their lives, were supported by the common people, especially the poor ones, but in the second half of their lives, they were hated by others, chased and killed by the government, and fled to the ends of the earth. For the robbery, Mo Xiaoran sighed regretfully, and shook her head again and again: "From a hero to a bear, in just a few months, life really changes forever." The words slowly opened: "Are you right?"

Even if they wanted to answer, their mouths were already gagged, and they could only whine, their limbs constantly struggling, their bodies rubbing against the wall, and for a while, a lot of dust really fell off.

"Want to talk?" Mo Xiaoran asked understandingly.

The three of them nodded in unison, and they could see that the person who arrested them in front of them respected this woman.

With her hands behind her back, Mo Xiaoran gave Qingfeng a wink, signaling him to take the things out of their mouths. She wanted to ask them something.

Qingfeng immediately stepped forward, tapped the vital points on the three of them, leaving only one mouth open for them to reply, pulled the handkerchief out of their mouths, and returned behind Bai Qingluo in a flash.

"Find a chair." Bai Qingluo ordered in a low voice, watching Mo Xiaoran standing in the empty room with a dim light in his eyes.

The corner of Qingfeng's mouth twitched. He waited here for more than an hour, but he didn't see the master let him in with a chair. It's good now, Mo Xiaoran just stood there for a while, and his heart ached!It really is that people are more popular than people.

I couldn't help but slander in my heart, but Qingfeng didn't dare to be negligent, so she hurried out to look for a chair, found a dusty Taishi chair in another room, wiped it clean with her sleeve, and brought it to Mo Xiaoran, "Please sit down. "

"Thank you." Mo Xiaoran smiled slightly, and sat down casually. She was wearing a luxurious long dress, dragging on the ground. Under the light of the light yellow candle, her immature face seemed a little dark and unclear. Around her eyelids, There is a circle of dark and shallow silhouettes.
