Pearl Round Yurun

"Then what should we do now? Go out of the city at night?" Li Yunyan asked, "Then I'll go say hello to Lu Chao."

Ruan Yuzhu smiled: "Why bother, the person guarding the south gate tonight is Xu Li, you go with us, he will let you go."

Li Yunyan blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, I have no personal relationship with him!"

Ruan Yuzhu smiled and said, "I didn't say that, what are you so anxious to get rid of?"

Li Yunyan had no choice but to tell them about her engagement, so she just kept her mouth shut and let them make fun of her.Fortunately, Ruan Yuzhu and Yuan Run also took into account that Moran was by their side, so they didn't dare to take the joke too far, so as not to teach the children badly!

However, what Li Yunyan said was also reasonable. Now it is only a limited lifting of the law. It is really not good to go out of the city at night, but even if you go out of the city now and come back at night, what excuse is there?If you come back overnight, you need a reason even more.

Yuan Rundao: "I'll edit a book. Moran, you can send it to Lu Chao when the city gate is about to close at night. It's not too early or too late." He took out an unsealed letter from his arms and handed it to him. Moran - it seems that she has been prepared, even the letter has been written long ago.

Yuan Rundao: "Molan, just give him the letter. You don't know what he asks you. If the enemy comes to attack the city, don't worry about us outside the city. Everything is under Lu Chao's command."

Moran became nervous when he heard this, and said, "Will there be enemy troops? It's so dangerous, so don't go out at night, tell Dr. Tong's family, go open the coffin during the day."

Yuan Run shook his head: "Although Dr. Tong's suspicion is not serious, we still won't let us do this kind of thing. Now we just know that Young Master Tong should be innocent, but we shouldn't take the Tong family lightly."

Mo Lan nodded half-understood, but Ruan Yuzhu had already pulled Yuan Run aside to elaborate on what she had seen and heard in Qiu's house, but Li Yunyan didn't have the nerve to follow her, so she asked Moran, "Master Luo found that afternoon?" How many soldiers are there?"

Moran said: "I found it. It happened that those people just came back from the gate of the city in the afternoon, and they hadn't had time to enter the barracks yet—I suspect that the adults had already made up their minds, and asked people to wait at the south gate early in the morning. When I came back, I was taken to the Yamen."

"What did the adults ask?"

"It's nothing special, just ask them when did they hit the ghost, where exactly, or which person's grave."

"Oh? How did they answer?" Li Yunyan became interested.

Moran shrugged: "They were scared to death. How could they tell the difference? Everyone gave different answers. Some said it came from the sky, and some said it came from the ground!"

Li Yunyan was very disappointed: "What a bunch of useless men!"

Moran smiled: "That's not true. The adults also asked them whether they heard something or saw something. They said the same thing, it was all voices."

Ruan Yuzhu had already "reported" everything to Yuan Run, and now it was Yuan Run's turn to talk about her experience this afternoon.

"I went to Miss Tong's personal maid, Xianghuan," Yuan Run whispered to Ruan Yuzhu, "She provided a very crucial testimony—she told me that Miss Tong once met Qiu Niang , just before Miss Tong left with you. I don't know what the two of them talked about, even she, Tong Xiaoran's personal maid who has been very close to Tong Xiaoran, didn't know. However, according to her inference, it should be Qiu Niang She brought important words to Young Master Qiu, because she saw with her own eyes that Liu Zhi and Young Master Qiu had a meeting afterwards."

Ruan Yuzhu was at a loss: "What is this all about?"

Yuan Run did not answer for the time being, but continued: "Liu Zhi and Qiuniang should have a good relationship at the time, so she would run errands for Qiuniang—and Qiuniang had to go out by herself. Second Young Master Qiu, and even though Liu Zhi is in the brothel and is looked down upon by others, if he finds a chance to talk to Second Young Master Qiu, he won’t be able to avoid it.”

Ruan Yuzhu said: "But what does this mean? It can't be Miss Tong who wants to find someone to elope with Young Master Qiu, right?"

Yuan Run said: "Don't tell me, it's really possible. Second Young Master Qiu probably didn't dare to go back and tell his father, but only told his elder brother about it, so his elder brother locked him up and didn't let him go out, so as not to Create a scandal."

Ruan Yuzhu asked suspiciously: "But what does this have to do with the three murders? Could it be that Young Master Qiu wanted to silence him?"

Yuan Rundao: "Simply silence, even if he has the guts, he doesn't seem like a person who doesn't have the brains—Tong and Qiu have an affair, and Dr. Tong should know this, so he will let his daughter marry far away. Even if Dr. Tong doesn't want to expose the truth and lose face, Mrs. Tong and Young Master Tong won't agree. So, there must be another reason..."

Ruan Yuzhu was silent in thought, Yuan Run said softly: "I know you have already guessed the reason, it's just that you don't want to face it."

Ruan Yuzhu sighed: "Yes, after all, I walked with Miss Tong for a while, and I didn't find out at that time——Is she pregnant? Is it Young Master Qiu's? Or Song Jinzhi's? If it's Song Jinzhi's, then Miss Tong is here to ask Second Young Master Qiu for help, if Second Young Master Qiu is his own... oh..."

Yuan Rundao: "That's why Qiuniang and Liuzhi were involved and silenced."

Ruan Yuzhu said: "But even so, we still need evidence!"

Yuan Rundao: "I've already planned this. I'll go to the autopsy tonight and talk about it."

"By the way, what clues did you ask this afternoon? Did you go there in person? Didn't you bring Moran?" Ruan Yuzhu couldn't help asking.

Yuan Run nodded: "She still has to deal with Lu Chao at night, knowing too much will affect her mood, and it will also affect her performance at that time."

Ruan Yuzhu said: "I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that it's too dangerous for you to go out on the street alone!"

Yuan Run smiled: "It's okay, I'm taking the gun with me!"

Ruan Yuzhu said: "Carrying a gun is more dangerous, what if Qinghuai appears and snatches your gun?"

"That's why I only brought two bullets!" Yuan Run's expression was smug, leaving Ruan Yuzhu speechless for a while.

"You two have been talking for a long time, what are you talking about? Is there something you want to hide from me?" Li Yunyan still couldn't help coming over.

Yuan Rundao: "It's hard to tell you now, because this is just a guess. After all, you are a businessman. If you really want to hear such a thing, if my guess is right, it's fine. If it's not, it's slander."

Li Yunyan said: "How could it be! Don't you guys trust me?"

Yuan Run said: "What is your duty? You are a head arrester. Let's not be too unscrupulous!"

Li Yunyan was helpless - knowing that the other party was making excuses, but she was speechless.

At this time, it was getting late, so the four girls had dinner together, and then Yuan Run, Li Yunyan, and Ruan Yuzhu walked out of the city together.

The south gate in the south of the city happened to be guarded by Xu Li today. Seeing Li Yunyan approaching, he rushed forward and said, "I have seen Mr. Luo, it is so late in Luo Zhi County, and you still have to leave the city?"

Yuan Run smiled: "Why is it so late, the sun hasn't set yet! This time I have an important business to go out of the city, don't delay me, you can't afford to miss it!"

Whether it was Yuan Run, Ruan Yuzhu, or even Li Yunyan, they had never played with Xu Li in such an official manner before. Yuan Run's sudden appearance, although he did not have much "official prestige", still made Xu Li The time is a little dazed, and I can't find a reason to stop it - I am the county magistrate, the head of a county, and I want to go out of the city to do something, can I explain the situation to you?

As a result, when Yuan Run, Ruan Yuzhu and the group disappeared from Xu Li's sight, he suddenly woke up and hurriedly sent someone to report to Lu Chao.

And after Lu Chao got the report, Yuan Run had already left the city. After asking again, Xu Li didn't send anyone to protect him. When Li arrived, so did Moran——Molan was accurate enough in this regard. Just when Lu Chao was about to have Xu Li beat Xu Li, Moran appeared and rescued Xu Li.

Moran presented Yuan Run's letter. After Lu Chao read it, his face became even more angry. He slapped the letter on the table and opened his mouth angrily, as if he wanted to curse. But he endured it again.

Lu Chao paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and waved his hands one last time: "It's still a war period, so we can't spend too many people looking for them. Xu Li, you take a team out of the city to look for them. The county magistrate must have gone southeast." , you don’t light torches along the way, so as not to attract the enemy’s prying eyes, only pick the ones with good eyes.”

Moran said: "I know that there is a person in the city who has a very good eye. He sees things in the dark like daytime." Of course, what Moran was talking about was the idle man Xie Yonggui who was bragging in the tea shop of shopkeeper Song, but I don't know if he has been caught. Conscript strong men to defend the city, did they die in the previous battle of defending the city?

Lu Chao was surprised and said: "There are such strange people in the city, you take Xu Li to look for them, and let him go with them."

Moran nodded in agreement, thinking that he was going to the new cemetery in the southwest corner, but he said in the letter that he was going southeast, so Lu Chao could not be suspicious, and he didn't know what he wrote.

Moran is a good girl. The letter Yuan Run sent her was unsealed, showing sincerity, saying that I never think you are a villain who would peek at the letter, and Moran would never read it, but he didn't know it in his heart. Just curious.

Moran had a verbal lawsuit with Lu Chao here, while Yuan Run and the other three had a smooth journey, and soon they arrived at the newly built cemetery and started digging graves.
