After the first fool

Chapter 123 Discovery with the Waves

The sky was clear, the sky was cloudless, and the peach blossom forest outside Fengqi Palace had fresh branches sprouting. Mo Xiaoran yawned and lay softly in the shade of the forest, with a red sandalwood sheet under her body. The reclining chair held an embroidered fan in his hand, shaking it from time to time.

Summer without air conditioning is really hard.

She glared resentfully at the red sun in the sky, and couldn't help complaining in her heart.

"Miss," Xiao Zhu ran over from the moon gate of Fengqi Palace with grapes in his hands, with a dense layer of sweat on his forehead, "eat quickly, the iced grapes just brought from the imperial dining room can relieve the heat."

Mo Xiaoran stretched out her hand to take one, and it was really cold, so she couldn't help sliding the grapes in her palm a few times, feeling the cold breath, and narrowed her eyes comfortably, "It's so comfortable."

Just as Mo Xiaoran was enjoying the rare coolness in midsummer, there was the sound of croaking frogs on the high wall, and the corner of her mouth twitched, "What's wrong with learning from frogs in summer?" Pull it away, throw it into your mouth, and bite it hard a few times, the juice filled your taste buds, then Mo Xiaoran slowly straightened up and returned to the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, there was a wave of hot air, and the temperature emitted from the earth made people sweat down their backs.

She opened the window, whistled, and the breeze came in, "Sui Lang has returned to the imperial city, and brought the things you need."

finally waited...

Mo Xiaoran slightly raised the corners of her mouth, "I'll do it tonight."

Touching Ziyan's letter in her bosom, she was full of energy and stretched her body. After Qingfeng conveyed Bai Qingluo's words, she flew away from the bedroom. Mo Xiaoran lazily leaned on the soft couch, her eyes closed. Passing by the light, waiting for the arrival of sunset.

The night was getting dark, and there were birds and insects singing one after another in the bushes. The midsummer night was a little more peaceful, but the heat in the air lingered for a long time. Mo Xiaoran put on a long robe and tied her hair into a The ponytail swayed from side to side at will.

"Miss, won't you take me there?" Xiaozhu asked dissatisfiedly with her lips pouted, she thought she could follow Mo Xiaoran out of the palace.

"I'm fast, I'll be back in a while, you stay here and watch over me." With one more person, Qingfeng will inevitably toss back and forth, delaying time.

Leaving Xiaozhu behind, Mo Xiaoran waved her hand out the window, Qingfeng leaped into the bedroom, and glanced at Xiaozhu lightly from the corner of her eye.

"Don't look, she won't go out today." Mo Xiaoran said with a joking smile, did Qingfeng really like her girl?

Meeting Mo Xiaoran's playful eyes, Qingfeng gave a dry cough, cupped his fists and said, "I'm offended." With a stretched arm, she hugged her petite body by the waist, kicked her feet on the ground, and flew into the night sky.

Xiao Zhu stood quietly by the window, watching the black shadow gradually dissolve into the night, sighed, and put his hands together in front of his chest: "God bless, Miss must come back safely." Don't make any accidents Come.

Qingfeng carried Mo Xiaoran to Yanyu Building, jumped directly to the open box window on the third floor, turned over and flew in. Bai Qingluo sat on a chair, sipping tea leisurely, with a face as cold and hard as a knife. When he held the hand around Mo Xiaoran's waist, his gaze became even colder, "Let go!"

Qingfeng didn't dare to refuse, and immediately let go of her hand, Mo Xiaoran almost fell to the ground, but fortunately she stabilized her foot in time, so she didn't make a fool of herself, "Hey! Why did you let go all of a sudden?" Almost dropped her.

"This..." Qingfeng is not a person right now. Let it go, you will be missed by the master. If you don't let it go, you will be complained by Mo Xiaoran. It is really entangled. He lowered his head and simply regarded himself as a Mo Xiaoran didn't bother with him about the air, as she glanced around the room, she saw a strange man standing quietly in the corner, with a baby face with red lips and white teeth, but there was a murderous aura all over his body.

"He is Sui Lang." Bai Qingluo's hoarse voice sounded in the spacious private room.

Mo Xiaoran smiled politely, "Hi, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

Sui Lang's scrutinizing gaze was like a needle, and he scanned Mo Xiaoran from top to bottom. Is this the future mistress?Except for that pretty face, he didn't realize that there was anything about this woman that was worthy of his master. Although he was quite disdainful in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face, and nodded silently, "You're welcome. .”

Could it be that his people, like him, belonged to the iceberg?
Mo Xiaoran's eyes were complicated, and she glanced back and forth between Sui Lang and Bai Qingluo, "By the way, where is the body?"

"Don't worry." Bai Qingluo poured her a cup of tea with his own hands, and handed it to the table, the frost in his eyes turned into pieces of tenderness, "Let's first listen to Sui Lang's discovery of this trip to the town."

Right!

Mo Xiaoran thought for a while, nodded, sat down obediently next to his hand, slightly raised her eyebrows, rubbed the corner of the quilt with her right hand, and lightly rested her chin with her left hand, waiting for Sui Lang to speak.

Qingfeng stood quietly behind the two of them, like a silent knight.

"This slave is going to the small town to investigate the case of the murder of Zi Yan's family four years ago as ordered by the master," Sui Lang's hoarse voice, coupled with that baby face, no matter how weird it looks, his eyes are always fixed on Bai Qing. Luo, it seems that he is the only person in the world who can put him in his eyes, "The magistrate of the town is a seventh-rank official of the imperial court. He was a Jinshi in the reign of the first emperor. He has been an official in the town for more than 20 years. Over the years, he has bullied the people. Colluding with the dignitaries, the people in the town complained."

"Let's get to the point." Bai Qingluo didn't want to hear what he already knew. He lightly clasped the table with his index finger, his brows turned cold.

Sui Lang was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Yes! The slaves have visited and investigated for many days. Four years ago, Li Yuanwai wanted to invade the fertile land, colluded with the prefect, and forcibly expropriated the land from the common people. Outsiders mobilized officials to burn their family to death that night, and the magistrate pushed the matter to the young Zi Yan, and reported it to the Ministry of Punishment, adding a crime to her household registration."

"Have you got a criminal record?" Mo Xiaoran murmured, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

Sui Lang glanced at her, did not make a sound, and continued to say: "The slave looked around for evidence and found these two things." He took out an object wrapped in black cloth from his arms, and handed it to Bai Zi respectfully. In front of Xu.

"What is it?" Bai Zixu asked in a deep voice without opening it.

"It was Ziyan's ancestral land that was occupied by Li Yuanwai four years ago, and he used 1 taels of gold to buy the notification government to arrest Ziyan and signed a document with him."

"Okay!" Mo Xiaoran said loudly with a little excitement, her clear eyes were filled with brilliant brilliance, she couldn't wait to tear off the black cloth, looked at these two iron proofs, and immediately smiled: "With this, I will go to Dali Temple tomorrow to reverse Zi Yan's case!"

"Tomorrow?" Bai Qingluo shook his head disapprovingly, "The process of hearing cases in Dali Temple is quite cumbersome. If you go there rashly, I'm afraid they won't accept it unless you want to reveal your identity."

"How is it possible?" Mo Xiaoran exclaimed and immediately refused.

"The evidence will not be lost here. The most urgent task is to find a lawyer for her, write a pleading paper, and then let her go to Dali Temple to beat the drums to complain." Bai Qingluo smiled softly, comforting Mo Xiaoran With a slightly excited nerve, as long as she encounters something she cares about, this woman will always be unable to hide her true emotions.

"How long will it take?" She can wait, but can Zi Yan wait?Her grievances are about to be cleared up, and one day in advance, she can save one day of suffering!
Bai Qingluo pondered for a while before giving the answer: "At least three days, at most five days."

"No," Mo Xiaoran directly refused, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "You know the environment she is in now, how much will she suffer in three days?"

She is obviously a woman from a good family, but she is forced to fall into prostitution. As a woman, how much strength does it take to persevere in this kind of thing?
"If you go ahead like this, aren't you afraid of losing the battle?" Bai Qingluo narrowed her eyes in displeasure, and asked in a cold voice, but there was a long sigh in her heart, how could he not see what Mo Xiaoran was thinking?But the more this happened, the more she should calm down, "I have waited for so many years, so are you still afraid of these short three or five days?"

Mo Xiaoran lowered her head, and the dim candlelight hit her cheeks, casting circles of deep and shallow shadows. She held onto the edge of the table tightly, and after a long time, she raised her head, and said each word slowly. Said: "Okay! Just three days."

After a slight pause, she turned her head to look at Sui Lang: "Where is the body of Zi Yan's parents?"

Sui Lang pointed to the outside of the house: "It's just outside."

Mo Xiaoran turned around without saying a word, opened the door, and saw objects covered by white cloth on two boards. She collected herself, walked over slowly with firm steps, lifted the white cloth, Even the well-informed Mo Xiaoran couldn't help frowning.

Although the corpses had healthy limbs, the skin all over their bodies had been scorched by the fire, and they couldn't see their previous appearance at all. One was male and the other was female. She frowned tightly, bent down, and squatted halfway beside the wooden board, Looking carefully at the corpse, he checked it.

Qingfeng looked at her calm expression adoringly. Even he couldn't remain indifferent when facing these two corpses, but she did, and she was able to concentrate on the autopsy!It's hard for him not to admire.

"Hey, Sui Lang." Qingfeng moved to Sui Lang's side and called in a low voice.

"Huh?" He cast a sideways glance at Qingfeng, signaling him to speak quickly if he has something to say, and to fart quickly.

"You never think that the master and Mo Xiaoran are a good match?" Qingfeng pointed to the outside of the house, one squatting, the other standing, the two of them had a very tacit aura, and asked with a happy smile on the corners of their mouths.

Sui Lang's complicated eyes slowly swept over Mo Xiaoran who was inspecting another female corpse, and he frowned secretly: "Your feelings have never been correct." Even if she is more courageous than ordinary daughters, so what?Her status, her reputation, are not worthy of his master who is both civil and military!
"I said, what are you talking about?" Qingfeng glared at him, and said slightly complaining: "Master has never been interested in any woman, this is the first one, and she will definitely be our master in the future." mother."

"Who can tell clearly what will happen in the future?" Sui Lang didn't change his opinion of Mo Xiaoran because of his few words, as long as he thought that she was married to the emperor Bai Zixu, his heart would be particularly disturbed.

"What's the result?" Seeing that she had finished examining the corpse, Bai Qingluo took out a Juan handkerchief from her bosom, handed it over, and asked softly.

Mo Xiaoran wiped her ten fingers with a handkerchief, and frowned: "I found something, but I need to investigate the autopsy records from that year before I can draw a conclusion."

"Follow the waves!" Bai Qingluo called out in a deep voice towards the back.

"The slave is here." Sui Lang immediately cupped his fists, waiting for his order.

"You go to the town again and bring back all the files and autopsy reports related to this case. I only give you three days." There was firmness and indifference in the words that could not be questioned.

Sui Lang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately nodded to accept the order. With his kung fu, he could go back and forth once in three days, which was more than enough.
