From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

After coming out of the Baihua Pavilion, Zhou Yuan came to the street. Looking at the world of people coming and going around him, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Cai Ni is indeed a silly girl. Because of that inexplicable love, she wanted to take out her heart for a little insignificant care.

If she met a heartless man, she would not know how much hurt she would suffer.

Fortunately, she met me, Zhou Yuan. Although I am fickle, I will never be unfaithful.

Zhou Yuan only hinted at the news about Fengming Tower, but Cai Ni must have understood it. This silly girl still said that she didn't hear anything.

That's right. If the matter is slowly unraveled and the truth slowly appears in front of the world, I am afraid that I will be guilty of collusion if I leak the information today.

But the evidence can hardly endanger Zhou Yuan, which is his confidence.

In addition, he was really touched by Cai Ni's sincerity, so he reminded her.

He got on the carriage and drove all the way to Zhao's house.

Zhou Yuan sat in the carriage and began to think about the details of this murder case.

From the first dead body found, the low status of the dead body and the powerful murderer led to the conclusion that the dead body was involved in a major event, and therefore was silenced.

The mastermind behind the scenes seemed to always pay attention to the criminal investigation methods of the yamen, so when the yamen was visited, other participants and their families were killed, totaling more than ten people.

This further confirmed the judgment of silencing.

So through the duty time of the five key dead bodies, it was inferred that they were the ones who participated in the major event on June 11.

After continuing to visit, it was finally found that there was a heavy wheel sound at dawn on June 12.

Due to the above reasoning, it was finally judged that the transported items were contraband, and they were extremely contraband items.

Finally, the Jinyiwei found that the armor was stolen.

Zhou Yuan drank a cup of tea, frowned, and wondered: "Something is wrong! The means shown by the mastermind seem to be too few."

In his opinion, stealing prohibited items such as armor requires a huge price and wisdom.

But in the competition between the mastermind and the government this time, it seems that he did nothing, just silenced the insider. This method was very clumsy and almost failed to stop the government from investigating the case.

At this point, the mastermind's handling was very abnormal. Logically speaking, since the other party is smart, it should not be so clumsy.

An amazing idea suddenly came into being-did they do this on purpose?

Zhou Yuan himself was shocked. What can he get by doing this on purpose?

Jinyiwei Lin'an Prefecture Qianhu! Jinling Prefecture South Pacification Envoy! The arrival of two big figures!

Damn, their target is not these two people!

Will there be any trouble at the banquet at Fengming Tower tomorrow?

If something really happened, then I don't need to do anything, Fengminglou will be killed directly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Xu Guangchen is in trouble this time."

But...if Fengminglou really has an accident, wouldn't my father-in-law be in danger?

I have to remind him tonight!

Finally arrived at Zhao's house, Zhou Yuan jumped out of the car, but happened to see a familiar figure at the door.

Wearing a black standard official uniform, a long sword on his waist, and an official hat, it was the chief constable of Yunzhou Yamen, Ye Qingying.

"Second Senior Sister!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you have time to come and see me!"

Ye Qingying frowned and said, "Don't make a fuss. I'm not familiar with you. Don't call me Senior Sister in the secular world. Just call me Captain Ye."

Zhou Yuan was thick-skinned. He didn't care about this kind of soft nail. He still smiled and said, "What are you standing here for? Go in and have some tea."

"Once a teacher, always a teacher. Once a senior sister, always a senior sister."

Ye Qingying always felt that this was weird. What senior sister? He was deliberately taking advantage of her!

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Ye Qingying said coldly, "I just came here to tell you that you will have a banquet at Fengming Tower at noon tomorrow."

Ah? What?

Zhou Yuan's eyes widened immediately. He just speculated that something might happen at Fengming Tower tomorrow, and he wanted me to go to the banquet?

Damn... A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I won't go.

Zhou Yuan immediately said, "I plan to go up the mountain to see Master tomorrow."

"Really?"

Ye Qingying said calmly, "I just came down from Baiyun Temple yesterday. Master asked me to tell you that you don't need to see her in the future. She will just treat you as a disobedient disciple."

Ah? Must fate arrange for me to go to Fengming Tower!

Zhou Yuan frowned, thinking about finding a reason to refuse.

Ye Qingying looked at Zhou Yuan and frowned, "Hey, let me ask you, have you offended Master in some way? Why does she look so angry when she mentions you?"

"Master has been cultivating himself for many years, but he has never been like this."

How can a disciple offend Master?Well, it was just that I felt suffocated at that time, and the side effects of the Pure Yang Wuji Gong were great, so I took the clothes that my master had worn for several years to help me sleep.

Zhou Yuan didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't really want to go to tomorrow's banquet, please help me refuse."

Ye Qingying shook her head and said, "I can't refuse. It involves the details of the case. Even I have to go. This is the personal recommendation of the Southern Governor."

Damn it!

Zhou Yuan was speechless and quickly told his analysis of the case.

Finally, he grabbed Ye Qingying's hand and said anxiously: "Sister, help me! Fengming Tower may really have an accident tomorrow, you have to protect me then!"

Ye Qingying was also shocked and asked in confusion: "Did you make a wrong judgment? The murderer was so brave that he dared to attack and kill the Southern Governor and the Jinyiwei Qianhu?"

Zhou Yuan said: "If there is no courage, who dares to steal armor? Sister, you are good at martial arts, so you must send my junior brother out of danger when the time comes."

"I will report this to Lord Wang."

Ye Qingying said, turned around and left.

Looking at her back, Zhou Yuan fell into deep thought, not thinking about her attitude towards him, but her identity...

You are a head of the police in the yamen, and you should be under the control of your father-in-law, but why do you feel like you are always listening to Lord Wangwang's orders.

The Jinyiwei system is different, which is really strange.

A miserable voice interrupted Zhou Yuan's meditation.

"Son-in-law!"

Mingrui, who was covered in bandages, ran over, fell to his knees, and cried bitterly: "Son-in-law! Mingrui failed to bring back the mushrooms! Please punish me!"

Good guy, he was beaten into such a state, the other party was really cruel!

Zhou Yuan pretended to ask: "What happened?"

Mingrui shed tears and said aggrievedly: "According to the instructions of the son-in-law, I set out for Wuyi Mountain ten days ago and successfully purchased mushrooms. I arrived at the post station sixty miles outside the city yesterday evening."

"Who would have thought that it was robbed by robbers! They also beat me! Woo woo! The mushrooms are gone!"

Poor child, he was only sixteen years old, and he was made like this.

Alas, it's all the son-in-law's fault!

Zhou Yuan said expressionlessly: "I know, go and recover."

"Aunt... Uncle."

Mingrui whispered: "Then follow Uncle..."

"Let's talk about it after you recover!"

Zhou Yuan threw out two taels of silver and said: "Here, this is for your medicine."

He thought Mingrui was not bad. At the age of sixteen, he could run so far to buy mushrooms. He was capable and could be used.

He just happened to be in need of an errand boy, so he was the one.
