Seeing that Jiang Youpan was in a daze, Xie Yicheng couldn't help calling him, "My lord? Go this way from Hubu."

Jiang Yousi came back to his senses, the horse neighed, she nodded and led the rope to continue to the household department. One of the five charred corpses had a wooden sign hanging on her waist. But you must have seen a peach without changing it.

King Ye's chariots and horses swaggered through the main street, and many people's heads poked out of the windows of restaurants and houses on both sides of the street, watching the excitement curiously.

Like Xie Yicheng, they were also extremely curious about this princess-to-be sitting in the sedan chair.

King Ye himself didn't show up, he was leaning on the mahogany grand teacher's chair leisurely in his palace, shaking his head and humming a little song, looking forward to the sedan chair in his heart.

Tobe...

As soon as he heard that the Minister of Dali Temple had come in person, the servant of the household department straightened his official hat and hurried to the hall to greet him.

He is He Xiangye's protégé and has always attached himself to He Xiangye. He had heard that the Xiangfu intended to recruit Jiang Yousi to marry Miss He Yi, so he naturally did not dare to neglect the future son-in-law of the Xiangfu.

Xie Yicheng clarified the reason of the matter, and then the servant of the household department asked someone to get the register, and sat down to chat, intending to test Jiang Youpan about Miss He's marriage.

Jiang Yousi said without hesitation: "The marriage of the daughter of the He family is naturally decided by the prime minister, so it is inconvenient for us to talk about it."

Xie Yicheng suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Who is Princess Ye?"

The household registration department is in charge of the household registration. Although the princess-to-be has a noble status, she has to go through the screening of the household department to be selected, so if you ask about your status, it is the most direct to go to the household department.

The servant of the household department coughed a few times, seeing that Jiang Youpan didn't bother to thank Yi Cheng, he thought for a moment and guessed that Jiang Youpan might also want to know something, he thought that Master Jiang would be so kind, but since Jiang Youpan also wanted to ask Asking, I have no choice but to know everything.

"Master Xie, don't you know that the queen-to-be is from your Xie family?"

"What? Why didn't I know about this?" Xie Yicheng was shocked.

The servant of the household department went on to say: "She is called Xie Yun, and she is your junior. Logically, she should be called your second uncle. She is the third daughter of Xie Yijia, the third wife of your Xie family who moved out of Suzhou. She is eighteen years old and capable of poetry. Ci, looks clear and dignified.

A few days ago, King Ye saw her when he was traveling through Suzhou and fell in love at first sight.

So when he came back, he begged his mother and concubine to accept her as a concubine. The old concubine refused at first, but after hearing that the woman was from Xie's family, she finally nodded and agreed. "

"Xie Yun? It's a good name. No wonder the family is noisy, it's because of this.

I didn't expect that the future Princess Ye would be a member of our Xie family, so I have to find a chance to visit her. "Xie Yicheng's eyes lit up, wishing he could go back immediately and ask to see someone.

Jiang Yousi reminded him: "You are an elder, don't show that wolfish expression, it will frighten Princess Ye to see your parents not punishing you."

Xie Yicheng didn't care too much: "It's not a day or two since my parents cleaned me up, this time is not bad."

Jiang Yousi changed the subject again: "Can you find out who rented that house?"

The servant of the household department flipped through a page and saw the name: "The tenant is Yan Lu, a silk merchant. It is registered here that all five members of his family live here."

"Who is the middleman?"

"The middleman's name is Wang Kuan, a well-known dentist here."

"Does the Ministry of Households have a strict household certificate?"

"Because there is a Yaman registered with the government as a guarantee, only the tenant's name is left, and no household certificate is left."

Jiang Yousi and Xie Yicheng looked at each other, and said almost at the same time, "Go to Wang Kuan, the dentist."

Wang Kuan's home was in a small courtyard in the west of the city, and Wang Kuan had just returned home when Jiang Yousi and Xie Yicheng arrived.

When the three met, Xie Yicheng directly inquired about Yan Lu's situation. He thought Wang Kuan knew the best, but he didn't expect him to ask three questions.

"Yan Lu was recommended by a friend of mine, and he said he was trustworthy. I trusted that friend, so I sponsored him. I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

The official house was burned down, and I am also devastated now, and I don't know what to do in the future. "Wang Kuan shook his head again and again.

Jiang Yousi asked, "What does Yan Lu look like?" After asking, he motioned to Mr. Xie to write a description of his appearance.

Wang Kuan scratched his head and recalled carefully, "Wearing a dark silk suit, a felt hat, a beard, and a scar on his right eye.

About five feet tall, with a stocky build, he speaks loudly and full of air, with a southern accent. "

Xie Yicheng frowned, and gave the portrait to Jiang Youpan for review: "The hat and beard can be disguised, this man came prepared."

Jiang Yousi also agreed with Xie Yicheng's point of view, put away the picture scroll, and asked: "How much do you remember about other people's faces?"

"Others?" Wang Kuan, the dental man, felt strange, "I have only seen Yan Lu, but not others."

"It seems that he brought his family into the house later." Xie Yicheng rubbed his chin and thought, "Master Jiang, such a large family must have rented a car and horse when entering the city. We can ask the guards at the city gate and ask about the car by the way. Does the horse shop have carriages and horses for rent?"

Jiang Yousi nodded, staring at the person in the portrait, vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Post the portrait, and offer a reward notice, and those who provide clues can get one or two dollars."

"Yes……"

When the two came out, the sun was already setting. Looking at the afterglow on the ground, Xie Yicheng rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, if I have nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

Jiang Youpan smiled: "You want to go back and inquire about the queen-to-be?"

"Master Mo Ruojiang who knows me."

Xie Mansion...

Xie Yicheng originally wanted to go back home to ask a gossip, but he didn't expect that he would follow a person with a stern face. This person was not of such a nature to join in the fun, but this time he saw a ghost and insisted on going home with him.

"Master Jiang, if you go back with me so suddenly, you may scare the old parents, or you will come back another day?

Let's get ready so my family doesn't panic and be rude and rude to you. "

Jiang Youpan asked slowly, "Am I usually scary?"

"Absolutely not..."

"Did I treat you badly? You go back and sue your parents, so they don't welcome me?"

"There is no such thing at all." Xie Yicheng was flustered.Just a few days before he entered Dali Temple, he told his family members that Jiang Youpan was cold and boring, heartless and unrighteous, and that he was artificial and soft like a woman, without the freedom and ease of a man at all.

Now that Jiang Yousi himself is coming to the door, Mr. Xie is so anxious that his ass is on fire.

Why is he going to come to my Xie family today?

Weird, really weird!

Although the Xie family mansion is located in Yongningfang, a place where rich and noble families gather, it has a simple atmosphere from the facade.

Following Mr. Xie to the entrance, the courtyard is open, the corrugated eaves are simple but elegant, calligraphy and paintings are hung on one side of the corridor, and bamboo mats are hung on the other side to keep out the rain and wind.

Jiang Yousi thought of her hometown in Ezhou, which was vaguely similar to her hometown, which made her feel like she had returned to her former residence.

"Father is in the study. After I went to report to my father, we went to the housekeeper. He loves me the most, and he is also the most well-informed. He will know about the affairs of the mansion as soon as he asks."

So Jiang Yousi was admiring the flowers and scenery in the courtyard, thinking about today's case of the five burnt corpses: the source of the drug has been sent by Princess Changning to investigate;

The identity of the deceased is being questioned by the city gate guards, and a notice has been posted on the board; the body is handed over to Wu for inspection, and perhaps other clues can be found.

Although all investigations are proceeding in an orderly manner, for some reason, Jiang Yousi always feels uneasy.

Xie Yicheng came back quickly and said happily: "My father was going to see you, but I stopped him. Let's go to the housekeeper. My niece Xie Yun is not simple, even my father doesn't know her identity of.

It is said that she was once living in exile, but only recently found someone. Not long after she recognized her ancestors and returned to her clan, she was favored by King Ye and was chosen to be the princess. Do you think she was lucky enough to turn a sparrow into a phoenix all of a sudden! "

Jiang Youpan's eyelids were twitching, and his face became paler.

Xie Yicheng took her to an old man watering the flowers in the backyard. This plainly dressed old man was the old housekeeper of Xie's house, and he had always been responsible for the management of Xie's house.

"Housekeeper, I've been looking for you for a long time, tell me about my eldest niece Xie Yun!"

The old housekeeper glanced at Jiang Youpan who was behind him, and then said solemnly: "Miss will soon become Princess Ye, young master should be more respectful."

"You old man can't hide it from me. If you don't tell the truth, I will go outside and say that this eldest niece is not actually from the Xie family.

It was only because His Royal Highness King Ye liked it that Xie Yun was given an identity in cooperation with him. "Xie Yicheng raised his eyebrows and came up with random ideas.

"Yicheng, don't mess around." Jiang Yousi couldn't help but warn.

Xie Yicheng restrained himself a bit: "Boss, if you tell me the truth, I'll go to Li Ji to buy you wine."

The butler had no choice but to pull Xie Yicheng aside to mutter in a low voice, and looked at Jiang Youba while talking.

Jiang Youpan remained motionless, pretending to be looking at the scenery with his hands behind his back, but glanced at the big butler's mouth, and vaguely made out a few words.

After the heartless Xie Yicheng listened to what the butler said, his face suddenly turned white and then purple, he bit his lips lightly, and then confirmed with the butler again.

After the chief steward nodded, Xie Yicheng's face turned completely black, and his body trembled slightly, as if he had heard some shocking secret.

Jiang Yousi quickly organized the identified lips in his mind, and quickly came up with a sentence: "Xie Yun is indeed of the blood of my Xie family, but she once lived in Liuxiang, Huajie, and it was in that place that King Ye met her." she."
