Chapter 114 Su Ran's Deduction

The arrival of Empress Dowager Zhang let Li Xun Huan know the purpose of coming to Beijing this time. It turned out that the imperial decree was from the emperor, and the person who wanted to see him was not the emperor, but the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager wants to ask Li Xun Huan to help investigate the disappearance of the golden son-in-law.

"This case is full of doubts, and there are too many things that don't make sense. This is definitely not a simple case." Li Xun Huan murmured.

"Where should we investigate this case?" A Fei asked.

Although Su Ran knew that this case was related to King Yun, he couldn't just point the finger at King Yun as soon as he arrived in the capital. Instead, he had to find a way to focus on King Yun first, and then go away from King Yun. Find clues.

"We have just arrived in the capital, and we are not very familiar with the situation in the capital. I think we should visit that girl Yang first." Su Ran said.

"I also always feel that Miss Yang might be able to help us." Li Xun Huan said.

The VIP room in the South Wing is the best room in the East Juxian Inn in Beijing. The guests staying in this VIP room are either rich or expensive.

Miss Yang was not the only one living in the VIP room, but also one of Miss Yang's maids.This Miss Yang's maid is a girl in her teens, with a beautiful appearance, and the ladies of ordinary rich families don't have her temperament.The first time she saw this maid, Su Ran recognized it. This maid was the book boy of the master who tested the characters. It can be seen that Miss Yang is the master who tested them.

Seeing Su Ran and the others, the maid blushed slightly: "Why are you here?" Obviously, she didn't intend to hide her identity anymore.

Su Ran and the others looked at each other, knowing each other, Su Ran said: "We are here to visit Miss Yang."

"You guys wait here for a while, Xing'er will go and inform my young lady first."

"Since the guests have already arrived at the door, Xing'er, hurry up and invite the guests to come in and sit down."

A pleasant voice sounded in the VIP room.

"Everyone, please come inside." Xing'er opened the door, and a pair of beautiful almond eyes looked at A Fei a few more times.

Su Ran and the others walked into the room. The VIP room was quiet and elegant, and the layout was quite different from that of ordinary rooms. The decorations were all genuine calligraphy and paintings by famous artists and antiques. This room was no longer like a guest room in an inn, but more It's like a private mansion of a high-ranking official.

"Several people must have known my identity." Amidst the voice, a beautiful woman walked up.

Su Ran, Li Xun Huan, and A Fei were all stunned for a moment, although they had already recognized that this woman was the young man disguised as a man who tested their characters on the street.But I didn't expect this "son" to look so amazing in women's clothing. The whole person feels elegant and noble, but also has the indifferent clarity of appreciating flowers blooming and falling before the huge bustling name.

"Could it be that Miss Yang is Yang Yan, the famous Jinghong Fairy in the capital?" Su Ran asked.

"Young Master has good eyesight, the little girl is Yang Yan." Fairy Jinghong Yang Yan pursed her lips and smiled.

"Although I have heard the reputation of Fairy Jinghong for a long time, I have never seen a real person. When I saw it today, I really looked like a fairy descending from the earth, stunning and beautiful." Li Xun Huan said, "We big men came to see you abruptly. Fairy, please forgive me for being presumptuous."

"I, Yang Yan, can be regarded as a Jianghu girl, not a boudoir lady. I should be happy if you are willing to show me your face, so why would you blame me for being abrupt?" Fairy Jinghong said, "Please sit down, everyone."

Su Ran knew that Jinghong Fairy Yang Yan had a lot of friends, so what she said was not fake at all, it was not polite.The three of Su Ran sat down, and Xing'er had already prepared good tea and snacks and brought them over.

"During the day, women disguised themselves as men for the convenience of traveling, and it was also a prank on the spur of the moment. Please don't take offense."

"Although I also saw that the fairy is the young master who tested our characters during the day, but I didn't expect that the young master who tested our characters was actually the famous Fairy Jinghong in the capital." Ah Fei said.

"The fairy's trick is very effective, even we were almost fooled." Li Xun said with a smile.

"Excuse me, how many people should I call?" With the intelligence and vision of Fairy Jinghong, she has already seen that Su Ran, Li Xun Huan, and A Fei are not ordinary people.

Su Ran, Li Xun Huan, and A Fei all reported their names. To Su Ran's surprise, Fairy Jinghong had already heard the names of Su Ran and A Fei.It turned out that after the plum blossom robbery in Xingyun Village, the names of Su Ran and A Fei had spread in the Jianghu. Although they were far less famous than Xiao Li Feidao and Li Xun Huan, they were still relatively well-known.Ordinary people might not have heard of their names in time, but for a person like Fairy Jinghong, all kinds of events in the world will always reach her ears at the first time.

After hearing Li Xun Huan's name, Fairy Jinghong's eyes showed surprise. Li Xun Huan's reputation is indeed well-known in the Jianghu. Both Su Ran and A Fei had to admit this.Su Ran could tell that Fairy Jinghong should have admired Li Xun Huan for a long time. In today's words, she should be regarded as Li Xun Huan's fan.If he could get the help of Fairy Jinghong, he would be more confident in dealing with King Yun.

"Since I know the identity of the fairy, I want to ask the fairy about something." Li Xun Huan said.

"Li Tanhua, please tell me." Fairy Jinghong said.

"I don't know if the fairy knows what happened in the capital recently?"

"The nearest you said, how close?"

"That's what happened last month, more than 20 days, less than [-] days."

"So Li Tanhua came to Beijing this time for this matter?"

"To be honest, I'm here just for what I said."

"Is Li Tanhua talking about the disappearance of Jin Ziguang's son-in-law and the disappearance of 5 taels of official ingots?"

"This is exactly what I'm talking about." Li Xun Huan nodded, with a hint of joy on his face. Fairy Jinghong really knew about it, "I checked in the capital during the day and found that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and I haven't heard anyone talking about it. How did the fairy know about this?"

"Although this incident has happened for some time, the news has been tightly sealed and has not reached the ears of ordinary people." Fairy Jinghong smiled slightly, "But most of the things that happen in the capital can't be escaped." My ears, I can always get the news before others."

"Then we are asking the right person for asking you this matter." Su Ran said, "I don't know what you think about this matter, fairy."

"This matter is really too strange." Fairy Jinghong stood up, pondered for a moment and said, "In my inference, there are only two possibilities for this matter. First, there is no such 250 million taels of official silver, and someone has lost money. , take the golden son-in-law as a substitute for the dead ghost; second, unless the golden son-in-law master knows the art of shielding the armor, he will transfer the 250 million taels of official silver to the five ghosts."

"The son-in-law Jin Ziguang was born in a scholarly family, and has long been known as a 'golden abacus' in the capital. Obviously, this second possibility cannot be established." Li Xun Huan said, "It would be strange if Jin Ziguang was attached to a horse. The art of door-to-door armor is really unreasonable, he is already a son-in-law, as far as I know, he is not a person who is greedy for money, and it is really unreasonable to do such a thing."

"Not only is the second possibility untenable, but even the first possibility is extremely low." Fairy Jinghong said, "If it is true that someone has been planted to frame the golden son-in-law, the East and West Factory has tried their best to investigate this full 20 After many days, why haven't we found any clues yet?"

"Perhaps there is another possibility." Su Ran said, "The golden son-in-law was kidnapped."

When Su Ran said this, Li Xun Huan and A Fei were stunned, but Fairy Jinghong nodded in agreement and said, "I've thought of this possibility before, but it would take dozens of carts to finish it." Guan Yin, why can't you even find a shadow?"

"Perhaps the official bank is not lost at all." Su Ran said again surprisingly, "Maybe this batch of official bank of Jin Ziguang's son-in-law is not in the treasury, but hidden in a secret place. Without the key, it is impossible to get it." This batch of official bank, so this batch of official bank has never appeared at all.”

"You're very reasonable." Fairy Jinghong deduced, "So the people who kidnapped the golden son-in-law didn't get the official money, so they didn't move the official money, and such a large number of official money never appeared. No matter how much you search the East and West factories, it is impossible to find it. And it is even more impossible for the kidnappers to release the golden son-in-law, and they have to learn from the golden son-in-law where the official silver is hidden."

"The disappearance of the golden son-in-law may not be as simple as the official banker." Su Ran said, "There may also be some ulterior secrets involved."

"What do you mean by the unspeakable secret?" Fairy Jinghong asked.

"We can't jump to a conclusion yet." Su Ran said, "We should first find out who kidnapped the golden son-in-law. This is the key now."

"That's right, in the capital, who dares to kidnap the emperor's brother-in-law or the empress dowager's son-in-law?" Li Xun Huan said, "The person who dares to do such a thing will definitely not be a member of the Jianghu. This matter should be related to the government. .”

"Hearing what you said, I think of a person, and this person is the most suspect." Fairy Jinghong said.

"Who are you talking about?" Li Xun Huan asked.

"King Yun." Fairy Jinghong pondered.
