A slightly sad and dull atmosphere pervaded the two of them, Lin Junnuan tightened his lips, and comforted in a low voice: "I can't blame you for this."

"I understand, no matter how much I blame myself, it's useless now, and it's against my sister's original intention." Cheng Jiangyun raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, "I understand, I was too rude just now, and made Miss Lin laugh."

Lin Junnuan blinked, and looked at him with a half-smile, "After hearing what Cheng Shaoqing said for so long, why don't I tell a secret too."

Cheng Jiangyun turned his head and looked like he was listening carefully.

"Actually, I also bear two lives on my body." Lin Junnuan closed his eyes, raised his head, took a deep breath, and bent his lips, "I thought it was a good deed, but it caused people's wives to be separated, their families were destroyed, and I did it too." What a mess like this."

She stood up slowly, twirled half a circle with her skirt, and said with a smile: "But now I still eat well every day, sleep well, wear beautiful clothes and jewelry, without any psychological burden, less You should also learn from me."

She tilted her head and poked her cheek lightly, "As long as the skin is thick enough, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome."

Cheng Jiangyun looked at her for a moment, with a hint of worry in his eyes. The person in front of him was clearly smiling like a flower, but he seemed to see her crying silently hiding in the shadows.Cheng Jiangyun opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "If Miss Lin has any troubles, I am willing to listen to you."

"It's nothing to worry about," Lin Jun tightened his coat a little, and smiled indifferently, "It's all old things, there's nothing to talk about, Cheng Shaoqing should be like me, relax and eat what you want , drink as much as you want, so that Miss Cheng can feel at ease under the spring."

"I understand," Cheng Jiangyun nodded, stood up and suggested; "It's cold after the rain, let's go back."

On the way back, the wind in the forest was a little bit stronger, and there were layers of green waves on the hills. From time to time, water droplets fell like rain. The air was humid and clear, with the unique freshness of nature.The two did not continue their conversation, they walked on the stone steps one after the other, the footsteps unconsciously had the same frequency.

After sending Lin Junnuan to the entrance of the Xiangyuan, Cheng Jiangyun stood outside the door, looking down at Lin Junnuan's muddy skirt, "Tomorrow...see you at Dali Temple."

"Tomorrow?" Lin Junnuan opened his eyes wide, "Can I go to work tomorrow?"

"Ah."

The corners of Cheng Jiangyun's lips raised slightly, "Youpin's official position is not easy to arrange, so I can only wrong Ms. Lin to be a assistant to assist me in investigating the case."

"No problem!" Lin Junnuan smiled, brows and eyes crooked, "It is said that the king of Hades is easy to provoke, and the little devil is difficult to deal with. Being a petty official is just what I like." She turned to Lin Junnuan and blessed, "Then then Thank you, Shaoqing, for making arrangements."

With her identity as a woman disguised as a man, she doesn't dare to do such outrageous things. Being an inconspicuous little guy makes it easier for her to enter and leave Dali Temple. Even if someone discovers her daughter, it will not be a big problem. For her Neither Cheng Shaoqing nor Cheng Shaoqing had much influence.

Lin Junheng was detained in the room and lay bored for a long time. When he heard that his sister was back, he rushed out bluffing. When he saw Cheng Jiangyun standing next to her, he immediately became vigilant.

"Sister, why is he here?"

"What's wrong with him, rude!" Lin Junnuan patted his brother's shoulder angrily, and said to Cheng Jiangyun with a smile: "Shaoqing, please go back and rest, we will go down the mountain later." Finally, he silently compared Mouthed "see you tomorrow".

Cheng Jiangyun gave a "hmm", nodded to Lin Junheng again, turned and left the courtyard, Lin Junheng squinted his eyes and watched his back disappear, and looked at his sister suspiciously, "Sister, why did he send you off?"

"I helped him testify and found the murderer, so what if he sent me off?" Lin Junnuan picked up his collar, and gently touched the back of his head, "How is the injury? Does the head still hurt? ?”

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt anymore!" Lin Junheng was afraid that his sister would force him to drink those bitter medicines, waved his hands again and again, and asked curiously: "The murderer has been found? Who is it?"

"It's none of your business, don't worry too much about children."

Lin Junnuan didn't explain any further to him, and asked Chuntao and the others to pack up their things, and the group drove away from Minzhong Temple and rushed back to Chengyibo Mansion.

***

The next day, Lin Junnuan woke up at dawn, ate his breakfast slowly, smeared his face and changed into an unremarkable men's attire, and prepared to go to Dali Temple to "work".

Chuntao, who was always quiet, chattered a few words in a rare way, "Master, I'd better go with you, so that I can protect myself in case of an accident."

"No need," Lin Junnuan spun around in front of the mirror, "You stay in the mansion, if your parents ask me, just say you went to the shop."

She raised her eyebrows at Chuntao and winked, "I may be late at night, so help me cover."

Xia He stood aside, looking at Lin Junnuan's dusty clothes and couldn't help but sigh, "It's fine to wear men's clothes, miss, this clothes are too ugly, I will give you a better one."

"You don't need to change it, it's just right," Lin Junnuan patted her hand, "Your lady is going to work as an errand, so she dresses so nicely and no one appreciates it."

In the end, she winked at the two of them, said with a chuckle, "Wait for me at home", and left Chengyi Bo's mansion swaggeringly.

After arriving at Dali Temple, because of Cheng Jiangyun's explanation, the concierge let her in directly, and Lin Junnuan walked into the hall where Cheng Shaoqing was, and at this time he was listening to someone with a serious face, with a stubble on his face. After shaving cleanly, the whole person regained his spirit.

Seeing Lin Junnuan coming, Cheng Shaoqing nodded slightly to her, and waved him away after listening to the servant next to him.

"Another case?" Lin Junnuan couldn't hide his anticipation.

Cheng Jiangyun said with a bit of dignity, "I'm not sure if it's a case yet, but I did encounter some trouble."

"What happened?"

"Dali Siqing... suddenly disappeared last night."

"Missing?" Lin Junnuan frowned, "Have you been kidnapped?"

Cheng Jiangyun shook his head, "It's still not sure. Last night, Master Zhao, Dali Temple Minister, was in the study to discuss matters with the temple master. Master Zhao wanted someone to prepare supper, so he walked out of the study and never went back."

Lin Junnuan rubbed his chin, "Have you looked in the backyard? Maybe Mr. Zhao forgot to talk about something, so go back to sleep."

"Of course I've looked for him. My wife and aunts have never seen him. Mr. Zhao has never drank alcohol, so it's impossible for him to be so confused."

"Could it be that Mr. Zhao hid himself, or sneaked out of the house?"

"The concierge is sure he didn't see him go out, and other people in the mansion also said that they haven't seen him. Besides, why did he leave others alone and hide himself?"

"So, the only possibility is that he was kidnapped?"

"No suspicious person was found, and no one heard Mr. Zhao calling for help." Cheng Jiangyun turned to look at her, "The people in Mr. Zhao's house searched all night last night, and they haven't found anyone yet, and they dare not Zhang Sheng, you only came to see me in the morning."

Lin Junnuan pondered for a moment, and joked: "Speaking of which, if Mr. Zhao was really taken away, you, Cheng Shaoqing, are quite suspicious."

"How to say?"

"The top leader is gone, so the second leader can be the master of the house. This motivation is very sufficient."

Lin Junnuan covered his mouth and smiled, Cheng Jiangyun also chuckled a few times, "I just hope nothing happened to Mr. Zhao."

"Master Zhao is very lucky, he will be fine."

Lin Junnuan looked straight, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the case Mr. Zhao is investigating violated someone's interests, so they..." She waved her palm and made a gesture of cutting her neck.

Cheng Jiangyun frowned, "I hope it's not like this."

If it was really because of the investigation, he was retaliated against, I'm afraid Mr. Zhao is in danger now.

Cheng Jiangyun found Sizheng Yan Huaili and Master Fan who had met Dali Siqing last night. They also searched with the people of the Zhao Mansion all night.

Cheng Shaoqing poured a cup of strong tea for each of them, and after drinking it, they relieved their sleepiness and cheered up.

"What happened last night, please tell me carefully."

The two of them are still in the fog, Yan Huaili touched his head and said: "Last night, Mr. Zhao asked us to discuss the case in the study. Mr. Zhao said that he was a little hungry, so he went out and asked someone to prepare supper. The two of us waited for a while in the study. He didn't come back any time."

Master Fan poured two more cups of tea, and added from the side: "At first there were two plates of pastries in the study, Mr. Zhao thought the pastries were too greasy, and wanted to eat something salty, so he went out by himself."

Cheng Jiangyun raised his hand and tapped on the table twice, "Is there no one waiting in the study?"

"No, the case must be kept secret to the outside world. Mr. Zhao asked everyone else to withdraw, and no one was left inside or outside the study."

"What case are you investigating?"

Master Fan glanced at Sizheng Yan Huaili, licked his lips and said in a low voice, "It's a case of corruption of ink, which involves a lot, Mr. Zhao attaches great importance to it."

"how is the progress?"

"The main culprit behind the scenes has been found, and if we collect some evidence, the case will be closed in a few days."

"Who is the principal offender?"

Master Fan's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Yan Sizheng hesitantly, and Yan Sizheng's eyes flickered, "Shaoqing...it's better not to know."

Cheng Jiangyun asked with a half-smile, "Why, this case is related to me?"

"It has nothing to do with you, but... Mrs. Hou's elder brother, Mr. Min, is closely related to the case."

Lin Junnuan, who had been standing by the side, subconsciously looked at Cheng Jiangyun. After hearing this, his face did not fluctuate at all, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Cheng Shaoqing paused for a moment, then chuckled suddenly, with a strong disdain in his tone: "Min Chongshan is the main criminal? Does he have this ability?"

Cheng Shaoqing, who put his disdain on the surface like this, made Lin Junnuan feel a little fresh. It seems that his relationship with his stepmother is indeed not very good.

Master Fan scratched his head with a bitter face, "Min Chongshan, the servant of the household department, is indeed the main culprit in this ink corruption case."

Yan Sizheng sighed and added: "This is the end of the matter, let's confess to Shaoqing. Min Chongshan colluded with local officials and corrupted a batch of relief money. According to our investigation, some of the money... went to Mrs. Min 's pocket."
