"Silence? Impossible!" Nan Fengjing's face was stern, obviously not convinced, "Two households with a population of more than three, in general prefecture-level counties, such a major case with more than three people must be handled by a higher-level county or city official." The records will be reported to the imperial court, and then the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will send special case officials to the local area to conduct a trial in person, and report to the customs layer by layer. Under such strict control, how can Lei Tingjun be able to make no traces and no one report after killing his mouth in one fell swoop?"

"It can be done." Gu Li explained, "Two years ago, the Western Regions sold cities for gold, and Xiangguo exchanged 9000 taels of gold for two cities in the Western Regions. The hometown of these two women is located in these two cities. A small village called Nishiharagawa."

"Xiyuanchuan has a small population, and it is a small village that lives on nomads. After Xiangguo took over, it was renamed Donglu." Gu Li paused, and continued: "He is in charge of governing this Donglu village. The county magistrate is Liao Xiaofan who was dispatched by Su Hengjian a year ago."

"Officials." Ying Qihong frowned.

"This Liao Xiaofan is Lei Tingjun's disciple." Gu Li finally said.

"Then all of this makes sense." Xun Yuandao lightly shook his feather fan, "Liao Xiaofan, a mere local county magistrate, dared to conceal this murder case from the court and the Ministry of Punishment, and buried this murder case for Lei Tingjun. Hmph, what a collusion between officers. Big drama."

"I knew there was Lei Tingjun in the military department, but I didn't expect that the official department also got involved." Ying Qihong's face darkened, he tapped on the table, and after a moment of thought, said: "Su Hengjian, this ghost fox I don’t rely on any of them on the surface, but I didn’t expect to help Lei Tingjun secretly, and now I’m afraid it will be much more difficult to really bring down Lei Tingjun.”

"Lei Tingjun is a member of the Sixth Prince. Presumably this Minister of the Ministry of Officials is secretly on the side of the Sixth Prince." Nan Fengjing said: "If this is the case, Su Hengjian will not be able to stay."

Ying Qihong snorted coldly, "It's not easy not to stay? After Lei Tingjun was imprisoned, the sixth brother pretended to be sick in the mansion for many days in order to protect his safety. If he wanted to intervene in Lei Tingjun's case, he could only Send your men to investigate. If Su Hengjian, an old fox, is really secretly working for Sixth Brother, it is likely that he will make some moves in the near future."

As he said that, Ying Qihong raised his eyes to look at Nan Fengjing, and ordered: "Send more people to keep an eye on Su Hengjian. If you find anything suspicious, report it immediately. As for the county magistrate, Liao Xiaofan, don't touch him yet. No matter, Liao Xiaofan is afraid that he will not be able to rest assured for a day. Under the invisible pressure, he will inevitably do stupid things that show his feet, and send people to Donglu. As long as Liao Xiaofan messes up, he will collect evidence on him. , it's much easier."

Nan Fengjing nodded to show his understanding.

"Sisters of the Su family, one is running for the position of princess and concubine, and the other is running for the name of the eldest son's wife. It must be Su Hengjian who did it deliberately in order to deceive people and prevent people from finding out that he is the sixth brother." Ying Qihong looked at Zheng Yuan Xiaoyan, who was gnawing on the chicken leg, glanced, "If that's the case, then Miss Yuan got sick for no reason at Guo'an Temple. I'm afraid it's not as simple as what she saw on the surface. Girl Jin also said that Miss Yuan didn't show her face because of eating wild fruits." The rash, I'm afraid there are other reasons behind it."

After hearing this, Xun Yuandao interjected: "If there are other reasons, it can only be that the sisters of the Su family deliberately caused trouble, and I think the possibility of the younger sister's attack is more likely. Now that the Su family is winning the Sacred Heart, I beg you The people who marry the daughters of the Su family are very famous. Even in the palace, there have been rumors that His Majesty the Emperor will bestow marriages on the Su sisters. Now the marriages are not successful, and a person who came from nowhere has taken over the wife of the eldest son Su Sudong must have gritted his teeth."

"I guess the same way. I remember Su Sudong, who just got engaged to someone else not long ago." Ying Qihong thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, after my cousin got married from his father, She had a marriage contract with Wei Shikun, the servant of the Ministry of War. The marriage was hasty, even earlier than her elder sister. When the queen mother talked about it, she said that the engagement of the Su family was not in accordance with the etiquette, so I was very impressed. deep."

"Wei Shikun from the Ministry of War." Xun Yuan said: "This person has been promoted by the Minister of the Ministry of War, and has recently been highly valued by His Majesty. What does Su Hengjian want to do?"

Ying Qihong shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it was Su Hengjian who saw that his cousin was given a marriage and felt that the position of wife of the eldest son was hopeless, so he changed to win over the celebrity of the Ministry of War."

Nan Fengjing: "Old and cunning."

"But these are all speculations." Ying Qihong thought for a while, and said: "One is the wife of the royal heir, and the other is the wife of an ordinary fifth-rank military minister. Su Sudong may not be willing to obediently listen to Su Hengjian. Today, the Su family sisters met the emperor's aunt by chance. Guo'an Temple, it may be done on purpose. Gu Li, cooperate with girl Jin to investigate the matter of Guo'an Temple as soon as possible to see if anyone is targeting Mrs. Shizi behind the scenes. You must do this in secret, don't Leave traces."

Gu Li: "Yes."

After the task was arranged, after Gu Li left, the few people stopped discussing matters. Ying Qihong rested his chin on his hand and stared at Yuan Xiaoyan who had just finished eating a chicken leg, thoughtfully.

Yuan Xiaoyan naturally noticed the piercing eyes of the crown prince. He was eating a lot of oil, but he didn't dare to wipe it off, and he didn't dare to raise his head. He shrank his neck and stared at the other chicken leg not far from him.

A chicken has two legs, but Yuan Xiaoyan didn't dare to offend the remaining chicken leg.

Because the prince seems to be eyeing this chicken leg too.

No, that looked at him, as if to say, if you dare to move this chicken leg, behead it!

Yuan Xiaoyan was terrified in his heart, trembling and trembling, if his eyes were needles, he might have been riddled with holes by the crown prince's 'needles'.

But at this moment, a pair of chopsticks that are not afraid of death pinched the chicken leg.

It's not the crown prince's chopsticks, nor Yuan Xiaoyan's chopsticks, it's Nan Fengjing's!

Nan Fengjing picked up the chicken leg and put it into Yuan Xiaoyan's bowl without any scruples, "Pick it up if you want to eat it, keep watching, it's impossible for it to go into your bowl by itself."

Yuan Xiaoyan glanced anxiously at Ying Qihong, pointed at the chicken leg in the bowl tremblingly, and nervously said to Nan Fengjing, "This is... His Royal Highness wants to eat it."

Nan Fengjing: "...?"

Ying Qihong: "...?"

Xun Yuan said: "...?"

Nan Fengjing looked at Ying Qihong suspiciously, "Do you want to eat?"

Ying Qihong looked back at Nan Fengjing suspiciously, "When did I say I wanted to eat?"

Both of them looked at Yuan Xiaoyan.

Yuan Xiaoyan shrugged his shoulders and continued to shake, "His Royal Highness... has been looking at it... I thought His Highness wanted to eat it."

The dignified prince...will stare at a chicken leg?

Several people at the table couldn't laugh or cry, Ying Qihong was too lazy to argue with Yuan Xiaoyan, and after explaining a few words to Nan Fengjing, he left with Xun Yuandao.

There are only people in the room, Nan Fengjing, Yuan Xiaoyan, and the chicken leg.

"His Royal Highness..." Yuan Xiaoyan had a bitter face, "You are angry...will you kill my head?"

Nan Fengjing got angry, motioned him to continue eating the chicken legs, and said, "From today onwards, you don't have to stay at the inn."

"Why?" Yuan Xiaoyan was still in shock, but he still bit the chicken leg in the bowl, chewed it a few times,

"No reason, just do what you do, don't ask too much." Nan Fengjing said again: "Things have changed, we can't go back to Pangzhuang City for the time being, you stay here for a few days and wait for my news. Here, you don't need to wear women's clothes, I will ask someone to prepare men's clothes for you. As for Juanzi, she will go back to Pangzhuang City, and I will arrange other people to take care of you."

Yuan Xiaoyan nodded, and slowly ate the whole chicken leg.Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and a pleasant female voice came in from outside the door, "Master."

"Come in."

Yuan Xiaoyan raised his head, and when he saw the woman in front of him, he couldn't hold the bowls and chopsticks steadily, and he spurted all the chicken out of his mouth.

Difficult...Could it be that the person who takes care of him is the kapok lady? !
