Chapter 354 Jeju Zhang Family
Chai Jin was taken aback for a moment, and immediately held his hand, "Okay."

The two stood up together, bowed to Tang Luoyu and Xue Lince, and then walked out the door.

The two of them were used to walking around the rivers and lakes, so they naturally had a way of inquiring about news by themselves, and soon learned that the rumor came from Jeju.

Jeju is not far away, Chai Jin intends to inform Tang Luoyu of this first.

When they went back, Xue Lince and his wife were still sorting out the files in the archives. Seeing them coming back panting, they hurriedly served tea and handkerchiefs.

"Have you heard anything?"

Xue Lince became anxious at this moment, and his clear eyes showed some anxiety.

Ke Ran gulped down half a pot of tea, then raised her hand to wipe the water stains from the corner of her mouth casually, with a small black tea leaf hanging on her lower lip, she couldn't help but speak.

"The investigation has found it, but it has not been confirmed yet. The news originally came from Jeju. It's just that although Jeju is not far away, there is not even half a town on the way. Not to mention adding some supplies, if you encounter bandits on the road Robbery, I'm afraid it's just a matter of crying and grabbing the ground."

Tang Luoyu's brows twitched, and she subconsciously exchanged a glance with Xue Lince, her husband raised his hand to pinch her onion-like fingers, his eyes were firm.

"Xiaoyu, don't you go," he said with a bit of majesty that could not be refuted, "the journey is full of dangers, and if you go with me, who will take care of the affairs in this mansion?"

Tang Luoyu's heart flickered, and he wanted to persevere, but in the end he gave up. The husband and wife met their eyes, sweet and warm.

Seeing this, Ke Ran pretended to cough twice inadvertently, deliberately breaking the atmosphere, and asked Chai Jin to slap her forehead again.

"There are many affairs in the mansion, and adults don't need to follow," Chai Jin said, "Ke Ran and I can rest assured that rough work like inquiring about news is left to me."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ke Ran, who was about to pour another bowl of tea into his stomach, and just as the rim of the bowl touched his lips, he hesitated again, looking at the clear water waves, his eyebrows furrowed. A dull ravine.

"I find it strange," he said while thinking, "It stands to reason that if the common people think that Luo Yu is a witch, the rumor should have spread from Yuedong Mansion, why did it come from Jeju? Don't you find it strange?"

He raised his head, glanced at the expressions of the other three, and the air fell into a brief silence.

"oops!"

Tang Luoyu suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly slapped his forehead, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on her like a spotlight.

"I just remembered that my sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, was dispatched to Jeju for committing some crimes. Thinking about it this way, she must have spread the rumors."

The three of them exchanged puzzled looks, and Ke Ran stood up first, brushed the dust off his clothes, and flicked his bangs exaggeratedly.

"Okay, if you know the clues, you will have the direction of investigation. It's still early. If you start now, you will definitely arrive in the evening."

He looked at the sky outside, it was noon at this time, the sky was bright and the sun was shining brightly, everything was covered with a layer of golden light, Chai Jin also stood up, wrapped the cloth around his wrist twice, stretched out Muscle shape of the forearm.

Tang Luoyu was grateful in his heart, and the two of them just felt that it was a matter of raising their hands. After teasing each other for a while, they got on their horses and rushed towards Jeju.

The sky was dry, and when the sound of horseshoes went away, a cloud of dust was raised, and the figures of the two were quickly blurred in the sky.

The journey was smooth, and the two of them did not encounter any obstacles on the way. When the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the earth, the two finally arrived in Jeju.

Although the distance between here and Yuedong Mansion is only half a day, if you walk slowly, it will only take two days, but it is very different from Yuedong Mansion. The streets are deserted and the people are indifferent. The most lively place during the day is Casino and Yihong Courtyard.

As soon as night fell, the shops on the street were cleaned up as clean as the autumn wind. Officials often carried lanterns to patrol, and there was not even a brighter lamp on the street.

The two guessed that Mrs. Zhang must have some power to spread the rumors, so they walked all the way to Tongju's mansion in a very tacit understanding.

The courtyard door and corridor are not complicated, and the two of them found the inner courtyard without much effort. The moon has risen over the branches at this moment, but a room in the inner courtyard is still lit, even though the paper window is closed. It was tightly packed, but there was still a square of light on the ground.

Chai Jin took the lead, and Ke Ran walked behind him, and the two of them quickly lurked by the window, without straining their ears to listen, the movement of the speaker in the room was very obvious in the silence of the night.

As soon as he squatted down by the window, Ke Ran smelled a luxurious and weird aroma. He looked up and saw some finely divided red powder piled up by the window sill. Immediately, he rushed to Chai Jin with a meaningful smile.

"Why?"

Chai Jin lowered his voice, a little puzzled.

"It seems that we have come to the right place," Ke Ran still maintained a bad smile, and his handsome face looked a little wretched, "This is Huan Yixiang, I think the two people in the room were just doing business Well, we're sure to hear some gossip about poaching when we're nestled here."

Chai Jin had no choice but to flick him on the forehead, which made Ke Ran very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he could only grab his strong arm angrily.

"Husband, what happened to the thing I asked you to do last time?"

At this time, the woman in the room suddenly began to talk coquettishly, and the two held their breath at the same time, looking into it through the small gap by the window.

In the richly decorated room, there was a large bed hung with red veils, covered with a brocade quilt, and two bodies were nestled in the quilt. Only the woman's white arms, face, and Tongpan's unshaven beard looks like a big head with hydrocephalus.

The two saw the woman's appearance clearly, and it was exactly the same as Zhang's drawn by Tang Luoyu. It seemed that Zhang's family was indeed on the list of local officials.

"Of course the matter you entrusted to me has been done," Tong Juan responded with a greasy voice, laughing, "Anyway, I have long disliked Yue Dong, so why are you separated by a few miles away?" My place is poor, and his place is rich and fertile. Whoever sends them there can’t do great things? Just leave me here to be useless.”

The judge became more and more angry and excited, "If I changed to a better place to be an official, I would have been promoted to Shangshu long ago."

Mrs. Zhang answered coquettishly, touching his bearded face, "My lord, don't be anxious, now the infamy on Madam Yuedong's prefect may not be cleared even if she jumps into the Yellow River."

The two laughed again, which hurt the eardrums of the two who were squatting outside the house. Mrs. Zhang took the opportunity to hold Tong Pan's neck, and asked coquettishly, "Husband, won't you go back to your wife today?"
