Lu Xiyue opened her eyes wide.

The man laughed wantonly, as if he had found some fun, lowered his head, and kissed her again.

"Go to sleep."

Lu Xiyue directly pushed someone away, "I want to sleep by myself."

Xiao Yunheng: "..."

Shouldn't he have spoken his mind just now?

Lan Ping's arrest was no secret at all, and the officials in charge of the matter were ordered to search Lan Ping's house extensively.

Who doesn't know in Lanping, the third prince's uncle, when the third prince got married, he was at the front of the third prince's wedding party.

Unexpectedly, the tall man looks like a dog, and he would do such an inhumane thing behind his back.

In the teahouse and tavern, Lan Ping's actions were cast aside by countless people.

Even with Ji Wuhen, they all suffered.

After all, it's a relative relationship. It's said that officials protect each other. Who knows if the third prince helped cover it up.

Xiao Yunheng received Ji Yunyan's news early in the morning and rushed to East Street.

Lu Xiyue originally wanted to wander around the shops on the street, but thought of making ice cream.

But Xiao Yunheng was worried that she was in danger, so he had to bring her with him no matter what.

Ever since, a group of people investigating the case were riding on horses. In order not to attract attention and hide his appearance, Xiao Yunheng took the initiative to become a coachman and took him along to drive the carriage.

Ji Yunyan: "..."

Followed by four or five guards: "..."

Concubine Ning must be a celestial being to let Xiao Ning Wang protect her like this. Is it because she is afraid that someone will run away or something.

Lu Xiyue sat in the carriage, quite embarrassed.

However, Xiao Yunheng always complained pitifully in front of him about being kidnapped by Rong Yu last time, and Lu Xiyue couldn't stand him pretending to be pitiful.

He is obviously a tall young man with a height of 1.9 meters, and he is also a prince. In the original text, he is even a frightening villain. For your safety, he ran to you and winked, like a little daughter-in-law.

Who can stand this.

I didn't check for a while, and I was brought here.

When they reached the house on the East Street, Ji Yunyan asked the guards to stand guard on the east and west sides of the alley, while he went over to ask questions.

"Wait, I should go with Ah Yue." Xiao Yunheng stopped the person, "Don't startle the snake, Ah Yue and I will pretend to be a couple asking for directions and begging for water. We will check the situation first. If there is anything wrong, you can go in again. Not too late."

If the other party is really guilty, when they see him, they probably plan to run away without even thinking about it.

Even if they are caught, it will take a lot of work to torture them at that time. It will be much more convenient to catch their faults first and then act.

Ji Yunyan thought for a while, and agreed to his proposal, "Alright, be careful."

Lu Xiyue jumped off the carriage, went to the door with Xiao Yunheng, and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A woman in her 30s came to answer the door.

Looking at the young couple at the door, the man is handsome and tall, and the woman is beautiful, which is very suitable, especially the luxurious clothes on her body, which look extraordinary, the woman can't help but become vigilant.

"Who are you looking for?"

Now Lu Xiyue finally understood Xiao Yunheng's purpose of covering up his appearance early in the morning.

She stepped forward and smiled sweetly: "Sister, our husband and wife passed by here, and our money bag was stolen. Now we are penniless. I wonder if we can ask for a drink?"

As she spoke, she frowned and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

The woman looked at the young and beautiful girl, her voice was soft, and the vigilance in her heart dissipated a lot in an instant.

It's embarrassing for such a pretty little girl to call her sister.

Apart from other things, there are indeed a lot of three hands in their generation.

"Wait, girl, I'll fetch you some water." The woman didn't think much, she went to the door and brought two bowls of water.

The girl was grateful and thanked immediately, took the water and drank a bowl with Xiao Yunheng each.

Not even the drops of water at the bottom of the bowl were left.

The woman felt even more pitiful for the young couple in front of her. It was so hot, how long had they been out in the sun.

Seeing the little girl's flushed cheeks, it's really heartbreaking.

After drinking the water, Lu Xiyue handed over the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "I wonder if I can ask my sister to do me another favor."

The woman was startled, and subconsciously frowned, just as she felt that the little girl in front of her was making an inch, and then she had an extra jade hairpin in her hand.

"This jade hairpin is in good condition. I wonder if I can exchange two taels of silver from my sister so that our husband and wife can find a place to live here."

Of course, jade hairpins are more than two taels of silver.

Since ancient times, money has been able to move people's hearts. This thing was rewarded by Emperor Hui before, and the things that come out of the palace are naturally the best.

If you put it in a pawn shop, you can sell it for at least 100 taels of silver.

Look at this woman's clothes are very plain, and there are two patches, probably because of poor habits.

Didn't the fifth prince say that this woman rented out half of the yard to those suspicious people and got a lot of money, so it can be seen that she is greedy for money.

The rent was rented out the day before Yang Shan disappeared. The most important thing is that according to Ning Yi's news, he once saw a young man with a mysterious whereabouts coming out of the house near Yang Shan's house, and arrived near the woman's house. Disappear.

The woman saw the exquisiteness of Yuchai at a glance, and she was instantly moved.

"Of course it's done." The woman accepted the jade hairpin happily, and when she looked up, she saw the dazzling big pearl hairpin on the girl's bun.

This one is worth more.

The woman's thoughts moved slightly, and she almost subconsciously said, "Why don't you go inside and wait, so that I can go get the money for you, and the sun will shine outside."

These two people are dressed in rich clothes, so they should be from rich families who are looking for relatives. If they can be detained and leave their valuables...

The woman seems to have seen the prosperous days in the future.

"Then thank you sister." Lu Xiyue smiled slightly, and entered the courtyard with Xiao Yunheng.

There are many rooms in the small courtyard, the woman led the people in, asked them to wait under the gazebo in the courtyard, and went to the house by herself.

Lu Xiyue saw that the woman called a strong man in his 40s into the house.

In the opposite room, someone saw them coming in and closed the window.

Xiao Yunheng has good hearing, and he can hear the voices in the opposite room even if he is separated by a courtyard and a wall.

"There are two men in their 30s. I just took a quick glance at them. They don't look like ordinary people."

"So, we didn't look in the wrong place."

Yang Shan's family either lived here secretly, or they were tied up here.

"It shouldn't be wrong." Xiao Yunheng glanced at the next few rooms, one of which was locked.

"Oh, I kept you waiting for a long time." The woman came out of the room with a smile, "I'm really sorry, I don't have any cash here, please wait a moment, I will go to my shop to get the money. "

If you want to keep these two people, it is definitely not enough to rely on their husband and wife alone.
