The man surnamed Ma would be alive because of Xu Wang, so many people would fawn on him to carry the sedan chair. If he died, he would be an uneducated man, and there would be no one to report to the official to collect his body.

But for such a big case, it is impossible to let it go without publicity, and the people will not investigate the case.

It will be a matter of time before the six doors find their way, Yan Wujiu will not be surprised by this, he just remembered the booklet of fate.

Cui Jin's smiling eyes are clear and joyful, with a mysterious innocence and carefree: "Does Wu Jiu also know Gu Yuexi from Six Doors?"

Yan Wujiu looked at him: "Ah Jin also knows him?"

Cui Jin shook her head: "It's not me, it's Uncle Helan, who also studied with the old master. Uncle Helan is Gu Yuexi's senior brother."

As she said that, Cui Jin blinked her eyes: "In Bianjing, Gu Yuexi is very famous, as famous as Uncle He Lan."

Yan Wujiu also smiled and blinked, then tilted his head slightly to look at him: "Then why don't you study with the old master?"

Cui Jin bent her eyes: "Because the elder sister in the palace wants Cui Jin to go to the Hongwen Museum."

He leaned over and lowered his voice, as if talking about a secret: "The children of Cui's family don't like to study except Cui Jin, so what should we do? There are so many rich and powerful children in the Hongwen Museum, if there is a young man from the Cui family It’s good to be in it, and you can make many friends. In this way, you can win people to support the little prince who has no background in his mother’s family and is isolated and helpless——This is what the sister in the palace told Cui Jin. Cui Jin agreed .”

Yan Wujiu looked at his pure and carefree eyes with a smile: "What about you? Where did you like to go?"

Cui Jin's eyes softened a little, and the smile also said: "My mother hopes that I will go to the old matriarch to study like Uncle Helan, and take the road of imperial examinations to enter the officialdom. Grace, she nodded. But ah—”

When they were talking, Gu Yuexi had already walked in, heading straight for them.

Such a distance, such a master, if you want to hear something, you can hear it.

Cui Jin saw him at a glance, smiled, and naturally changed the subject: "Master Gu is here."

That but stopped abruptly.

Gu Yuexi walked into the open-air banquet in this other courtyard.

The audience was full of handsome and handsome descendants of Luoyang aristocratic families, all of whom came from extraordinary backgrounds and had very different appearances.

However, as long as anyone stands here, at a glance, the first thing they will see is the young man in the peacock blue brocade suit on the main seat, and Cui Jin in the sky blue uniform who is whispering in his ear. .

This Landu Palace was built by the emperor for Concubine Yun in the past, and was later rewarded to Cui Jin.I heard that the owner has changed, but I didn't expect the new owner to be Yan Qingdu.

Gu Yuexi also felt that the name Yan Qingdu appeared too many times in the Six Doors.

Then, I saw the young man who was whispering something to Cui Jin, looking towards him together with Cui Jin.

Gu Yuexi's footsteps paused imperceptibly.

Those two faces are undoubtedly extremely pleasing to the eye, but Gu Yuexi has a strange sense of disobedience, it is hard to imagine that such two people will appear in the same field of vision.

Cui Jin is a son of a noble family, but he has the demeanor of a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so he seems out of tune with everyone in Bianjing and Luoyang.

Yan Qingdu is even more strange, born and raised in a small town far away from mountains and rivers, but he has an inexplicable ambition and desire for power, and his vision and methods are shocking.

It is not surprising that such a person seizes the opportunity to skyrocket, but to become Cui Jin's guest and the master of the Landu Palace makes people feel that everything is against harmony.

Cui Jin and Yan Qingdu are two kinds of extremely opposite people.How could such two people appreciate each other?

However, Gu Yuexi did not come to the banquet.

He walked along the way, some people who knew him raised their glasses to invite him to drink, Gu Yuexi just nodded his head as a gesture, walked calmly and walked in front of Yan Wujiu.

Cui Jin nodded to him: "Master Gu won't be in Bianjing for some time."

Gu Yuexi also greeted him: "Master Cui, the orchid you sent last time was very fond of father-in-law. It's just too expensive. He kept thinking about it, and deliberately found out his favorite pen. I will definitely let you know it. For you."

He turned around and took the gift box from the attendant, offering it to him with both hands.

Cui Jin accepted the gift, and said with a calm smile: "You are welcome, old man. To him, it is a precious thing. Yu Cui Jin is just a beautiful flower blooming in the rocks. It is already very good if the gift you send out can be cherished and liked." alright."

"I'll tell my adoptive father." Gu Yuexi is not a person who is good at communicating with words, so when he got the words, he bowed his head again and turned to look at Yan Wujiu, who was smiling but not smiling.

Gu Yuexi's calm and self-sustaining face did not show the slightest sign of reunion after a long absence. He looked at Yan Wujiu coldly and calmly: "Young Master Yan, we meet again. Excuse me, when the Ma family tragedy happened three days ago at dawn Yinshi Left and right, where is Mr. Yan, and who is there to witness?"

Yan Wujiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not show any mocking expression, but slowly blinked his eyes, and smiled softly and harmlessly: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Mr. Gu, you don't even want to say hello to Wujiu? Anyway It’s also old knowledge.”

Gu Yuexi: "..."

Yan Wujiu's reaction was beyond Gu Yuexi's expectation, he thought that this person would tease him frivolously and impatiently, he would definitely not speak well, nor would he look at him seriously.

Bad tempered, impatient, and domineering.

Gu Yuexi pursed her lips, and said with concentration: "Someone saw that in the early morning three days ago, the scene of the Ma family tragedy was set on fire, and a person suspected to be Mr. Yan appeared there. Excuse me, where was Mr. Yan at that time?"

Yan Wujiu rested his chin, his smile was like the warm spring water of the sun, his brows were curved and his eyes were dim, and he couldn't see the expression in his eyes clearly: "Ah Yue asked so coldly, is it that as long as I appear there, I'm the murderer?"

Gu Yuexi blinked: "No, all the people who appeared there will be investigated by the six doors. Before there is any further evidence, they are just references to assist in handling the case."

Yan Wujiu chuckled lightly, frivolously and sweetly: "Then I can rest assured."

Unmoved, Gu Yuexi looked into his eyes: "Young Master Yan, please answer directly, all conversations related to the case file will eventually be recorded in a book."

"It also includes that Ah Yue and I are old acquaintances, this sentence?" Without waiting for Gu Yuexi to say anything, Yan Wujiu blinked and smiled, "Three days ago at Yinshi, when I think about it, I seem to be there wrong."

Gu Yuexi's eyes froze, and she looked at him calmly: "Excuse me, what did Mr. Yan do there, what did he see, and why did he appear there in the middle of the night?"

Yan Wujiu was not in a hurry, the corners of his lips and brows were slightly raised, and he propped his face sideways with one hand: "It's late at night, so it's natural to do some unpleasant things. Isn't it reasonable to choose a remote place?"

Gu Yuexi pursed her lips indifferently: "If you can't prove that you have nothing to do with the case, you will probably be listed as a key suspect."

Yan Wujiu laughed, his face full of smiles was gorgeous, something Gu Yuexi had never seen before.

"Ah Yue is so fierce. He wronged me like last time."

The smile on that handsome face was wild and innocent, making people unbearable to criticize.

Boring words, but like a frivolous son-in-law, lightly flirting with a cold fairy.

"However, fortunately, I have witnesses this time." Yan Wujiu rested his chin, smiled, and said casually, "Actually, what Ah Yue said is quite correct. She appeared at the scene of the murder in the middle of the night. It is indeed a melon field. It is a pity that this place I didn't pick it, it was Ran Heng who picked it."

Rao Gu Yuexi's eyes were a little unsteady after hearing this: "Ran Heng? Where did he ask you to meet? What did you say?"

Yan Wujiu half-closed his eyes, even though his smile was bright, his long and narrow eyes were somewhat disheartened: "Ah, why don't you ask Ah Yue yourself."

"I will." Gu Yuexi nodded, "So, what did you see? Why didn't you report the incident afterwards?"

Yan Wujiu smiled contemptuously and said: "I saw the corpse and the fire. I should have reported the case, but Mr. Ran told me that this person seems to be the one who falsely accused my father and caused him to be impeached and imprisoned. I don't know that person. I don't know if he admitted the wrong person. However, if the report is made and the adults find out that he has grievances with me, then am I the most suspicious person? Ah Yue knows it. I was arrested by you in Qingyuan County. I have doubted it, and I have experienced the taste of being supervised by the six gates."

What he said was the truth, Gu Yuexi blinked and looked at him calmly.

"Although I can't tell by looking at me, I'm actually very delicate. I can't see blood, and I can't suffer a bit. So, in order not to be wronged, I left without any interest." Yan Wujiu smiled innocently. With an innocent look, "Why, Mr. Ran after me, didn't he make it clear when he reported the crime?"

Gu Yuexi: "He didn't report the crime."

Yan Wujiu's smile slowly faded, half a smile but not a smile: "He didn't report the crime, so who saw me at the scene? Why didn't he see Ran Heng who was with me?"

Gu Yue sighed and nodded: "I will investigate this issue. Thank you, Mr. Yan, for your cooperation."

"If you find it, let me know, okay?"

Gu Yuexi didn't answer, but paused: "The case in Qingyuan County last time was that the six doors were rude."

Yan Wujiu propped his chin, said with a smile, "I'm not angry anymore, but since Ah Yue admitted his mistake, it's just not okay."

"What do you want?"

Yan Wujiu couldn't help laughing, blinking his eyes and said innocently: "Why does Ah Yue see me, like Mrs. Yazhai seeing the king of the mountain. If she apologizes, she should at least punish herself. Next time we meet, call me Wujiu. If it's still the same Cold, like arresting a suspect, it would be better not to apologize. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to never see each other."

Gu Yuexi didn't say much, reached out to pick up the wine cup and jade pot beside him, poured the full cup, and drank it without changing his face.

"Is it alright?"

Gu Yuexi, who had been drinking, had a tinge of blush on her deserted face, and she seemed to have finally gained some popularity.

Yan Wujiu looked at those cold and righteous eyes, smiled and blinked slowly.The eyelash feathers softened his brows and eyes, and every time he did this kind of action, the fierce and arrogant face would be more or less concealed by the softness.

Gu Yuexi stood up, and still remembered to gesture to Cui Jin who was beside her: "Farewell."

His footsteps seemed a little more sluggish than when he came here.

Yan Wujiu glanced at the wine cup that Gu Yuexi had used, and nonchalantly ordered the left and right: "Put this pot of wine and the wine cup together in a gift box, and send it to the place where Mr. Gu is staying. Please invite the other two from the six doors Adults should try it too."

Gu Yuexi paused slightly, looked back at him, and saw Yan Wujiu smiling at him with his chin up, that smile was frivolous, not mocking, and there was still a bit of radiant warmth left, as magnificent and dark as the afterglow of the setting sun.

After Gu Yuexi left, Cui Jin didn't ask what the murder they were talking about was.

He never seems to have asked what Yan Wujiu did, why He Lanlin and Longlinwei's people would move so frequently.

Although, this person has a pair of smart and intelligent eyes that seem to see through all people's hearts and curiosity.

Cui Jin is the most measured person that Yan Wujiu has ever met, and getting along with her makes people feel like a spring breeze, without any discomfort.

Because of him, Yan Wujiu has always had a good impression of the Cui family.

Until, he met the first real Cui family.

……

At the same time, one can imagine how complicated Ran Heng's heart would be when he saw Gu Yuexi who came to the door and heard Yan Wujiu's words from Gu Yuexi.

He really did not expect that Yan Wujiu would be so crazy.It's simply arrogant and domineering.

If you killed someone and left him at the scene of the crime, that's fine.

The god arrester from Six Doors came to the door and admitted that he was at the scene of the crime?Moreover, he took the initiative to confess himself as a witness. What is he trying to do?

No matter how turbulent his heart was, Ran Heng's face was calm and flat.

Because, he knew that Yan Wujiu was right, not only would he not tell the truth, but he would also prove Yan Wujiu's innocence.

That rascal surnamed Ma gained power and advertised that he was Xu Wang's savior everywhere. He died, but Xu Wang didn't even do the superficial work of collecting the body.

why?

Of course, because of that missing roster.

The one surnamed Ma is actually just a blind pawn, who knows a few superficial characters, and is just doing some low-level business of pawning people.Even if King Yu Xu is gracious, at most he will be honored with some fame and fortune, but it is absolutely impossible to treat him as one of his own and let him do such important things.

It's just that a man with the surname Ma builds a tall building on the ground. It's not surprising that such a person does anything absurd, and it's normal to make friends with anyone.The best way to hide a tree is to be in a forest.Xu Wang's people wanted to take advantage of this, and set up a spy camp under his nose under his cover.Avoiding the eyes and ears of all parties, it has been going smoothly.Even the Dragon Scale Guards never paid attention to this place.

Unexpectedly, the lord's benefactor was going to deal with a seventh-rank county magistrate, who just happened to offend his superiors.Such a small and insignificant matter, under normal circumstances, is simply silent if there is no splash.

Who would have thought that in the end, he would be slaughtered, and the entire courtyard would be demolished and burned.Not only do chickens and dogs stay, there is simply no grass.

In this way, the Xu Wang's people who stayed in the manor were caught off guard by others, and the deadly list was more likely to fall into the hands of the murderer.

Then, the problem is stuck in a stalemate.

The key is: who does Yan Wujiu belong to?Did the emperor see the roster?If the emperor knows, do you believe in King Xu?

At this time, King Xu would never admit his relationship with the Ma.

He can do nothing but pretend to be deaf and dumb.If things get serious, it's easy to say lightly that this person is bluffing and cheating in his name, and he doesn't know anything about it.

Ran Heng, as a person under King Xu's banner in the true sense, is naturally the same as King Xu.

Not only that, if Yan Wujiu was caught by the six doors as a murderer, the missing booklet would fall into the hands of the six doors.

Ran Heng absolutely cannot let this happen, it is best not to let the six doors get involved.

Therefore, no matter how depressed his heart is, King Xu will only try his best to prove that Yan Wujiu is innocent.

He smiled lightly, and said to Gu Yuexi: "It is true that I made an appointment with Mr. Yan. About my sister, I misunderstood Mr. Yan at the beginning, and I offended him so much. I said I would make amends for him. He came to Luoyang, and we Isn't it normal to see him?"

Gu Yuexi: "Why did you choose to meet there?"

Ran Heng smiled politely and politely: "It's more normal to choose there. Didn't his father offend the man surnamed Ma? It just so happens that I'm still a little thin-skinned, so I want to match him up and make love for him. In this way In the first place, it can be regarded as a settlement of the fault at that time."

Gu Yuexi's eyes were calm and sharp: "Three years as a classmate, I never thought that you would be so kind and generous."

Ran Heng smiled perfunctorily and indifferently: "There are so many unexpected things in the world, and I didn't expect that, you put down your writing and started to catch up."

Gu Yuexi was unmoved: "As far as I know, your father, Master Ran, was very dissatisfied with the local county magistrate for the tragic death of your sister in Qingyuan County. County magistrate Yan was imprisoned so quickly, more or less because of his handwriting." Inside. If you really feel ashamed of Yan Wujiu, why didn't you stop him at first?"

Ran Heng's smile became colder: "Father lost his daughter, and he didn't care about official affairs. How can a small official like Yan County Magistrate pay attention to it all the time. How can it be said that the Yan family's misfortune was caused by my Ran family? I also met Yan Wujiu. , I found out about it.”

Gu Yuexi's expression was colder than his, and he refused to give in: "When the six doors were investigating the case in Fengzhuang, they heard the news that the Ran family was looking for a ghost marriage for a young lady who died young. It is not an ordinary dead and The marriage contract of the dead is the marriage between the dead and the living. I heard that there is already an intention, and the husband-in-law seems to be surnamed Yan."

His rarely seen eyes were cold and sharp, he paused every word, and said slowly: "Yan Wujiu's Yan."

Ran Heng didn't speak.

Gu Yuexi said coldly: "Is this how Mr. Ran apologized?"

Ran Heng suddenly lowered his face: "This is my Ran family's family matter, as long as the other party is willing, what does it have to do with you, Mr. Gu?"

"The other party doesn't want to." Gu Yuexi's eyes were ice-cold, "So, you're just playing tricks to get your future in-laws convicted and imprisoned?"

Ran Heng smiled contemptuously: "I'm not as clear and bright as you, Mr. Gu, but it's not as unscrupulous as Mr. Gu thinks. The Ran family has done nothing about the Yan family. However, there are some things that do nothing. , you can also achieve your wish. I hope you know."

Gu Yuexi looked at him without emotion: "Farewell."

From the beginning to the end, the tone of the two people was flat and gentle. If they didn't know the content of the speech, they couldn't see any meaning of tit-for-tat confrontation.

After Gu Yuexi left, Ran Heng recruited someone: "Hurry up, find someone powerful, and settle this case. The six doors must not be aware of the difference."

So, the next day, that is, the fourth day of the incident.

A group of strong men were arrested in a remote place outside Luoyang City. During the interrogation by the local government office, they found the looted property of the Ma family among the stolen goods.The robbers confessed that they were responsible for the Luoyang tragedy.

When the case was about to be handed over to Six Doors, the robber accomplice forcibly robbed the prison, and the principal culprit was seriously injured and died in the melee.The few surviving prisoners can't say much about the case, but they can corroborate with the principal criminal's previous confession.

As a result, the case of the Ma family who shocked Luoyang was closed in this way.

Gu Yuexi wrote the last stroke on the file and pressed the seal.

Although he knew that things were not that simple, he also knew that now is not the time to pursue these matters.

The case of Fengzhuang is not over yet, Zhuge Xiao is in danger alone, and he needs to rush to help.

Also, since the last time Feng Jianpo went to investigate the disappearance of Fen Lian at night, they lost Feng Jianpo's whereabouts.

No body is already the best news.

Gu Yuexi slowly closed the gift box Yan Wujiu sent, closed her eyes and cleared her mind.

Before and after the case was concluded, the courtyard of the Landu Palace was always quiet.

Xu Wang's people seem to have completely given up the stupid behavior of silence.

However, Yan Wujiu knew it was not.

Xu Wang and Long Linwei held their breath in secret, to see who could not help but surface first.

But Yan Wujiu didn't want to just watch like this, slowly making meritorious service and getting promoted in the Dragon Scale Guard, he has always been the most impatient.

Thus, He Lanlin received a secret invitation, which no one knew, but He Lanlin saw the invitation.

The inscription is Yan Qingdu.

He Lanlin looked at the words above, with a gloomy expression, and murmured in a low voice: "Want to see me in private without letting anyone know? What do you want to do?"
