With Fu Nanling around, it is impossible for Ji Linglan to break contact with Fu Guo anyway. Ji Qing's assertive attitude really makes people feel disgusted, but he is the grandfather of the original body after all, and Ji Linglan still has basic respect in his heart .
"Don't talk about this, we will be brothers in the future, if you need help, just ask, we will never refuse."
In the Duke's mansion, Ji Qing is absolutely unambiguous, and no one dares to question it. Ji Linglan just came back, and when the two met for the first time, they refused to give in. Ji Xinwu had to admire Ji Xinwu, and looked at Ji Linglan's expression. The bright light in his eyes made him an idol.
Ji Linglan couldn't laugh or cry for a while, but she didn't explain anymore, she just followed his words.
A group of people came to Sunset Garden and went straight in. Ji Mingqiu turned to look at Ji Linglan and said, "Alan, this courtyard was where I lived before I got married. Choose a room and live here tonight."
"Yes, father."
Ji Mingjie also looked at the two brothers Li Xinwen, and said, "Xinwen, Xinwu, Ah Lan is not familiar with this place, you two brothers show him around."
"Father, don't worry, we will take good care of Ah Lan." Ji Xinwu assured, patting his chest.
Ji Mingjie nodded in satisfaction, and entered the main room with Ji Mingqiu.
"Take off your clothes, and I'll help you with the medicine."
"Don't bother brother, I can do it myself."
"What are you talking about, every time you were injured since you were a child, I didn't help you with the medicine."
Ji Mingqiu and Ji Mingjie are brothers, and they have always had a good relationship. It was only after Ji Mingqiu got married and moved out of the Duke's mansion that the two brothers became estranged.
Ji Mingqiu didn't say any more and took off his shirt.Ji Mingjie helped him untie the gauze carefully, revealing the wound on his right shoulder.
Ji Mingjie also practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he could tell at a glance that the wound was stabbed by a long sword.He frowned, took out the wound medicine, changed Ji Mingqiu's medicine, and asked, "What happened on the road? Why did you get hurt by the sword?"
"Assassinated on the road, more than half of the hundreds of people in the envoy were killed or injured."
Ji Mingjie paused, and asked in shock: "Who has the guts to assassinate you and Princess Yaohua?"
"There are no clues on the killer, and we can't be sure who is behind the scenes." Until the matter is settled, the less people know the better, so Ji Mingqiu chooses to hide it for the time being.
Ji Mingjie frowned more and more tightly, and said: "Does the emperor know about this?"
Ji Mingqiu shook his head, and said truthfully: "The emperor is lingering on the sick bed, Yao'er didn't want him to worry, so she kept it a secret. She only said that I met bandits on the way and I was injured when I fought against them."
Ji Mingjie sighed, and said: "The emperor's body is indeed not as good as before. He has never stopped going to court before, and now he cannot go to court one day in three days."
"I saw that the emperor's spirit has improved a lot today, and his condition should improve."
Ji Mingjie was silent for a while, and said: "Mingqiu, now that the emperor is getting old and lingering on the sick bed, but you have found Alan at this moment... You should know how powerful it is, what do you and the princess think?"
Ji Mingqiu frowned, looked at Ji Mingjie, and said, "I don't quite understand what brother means. It was just a coincidence to find A Lan. It's because God took pity on our husband and wife and gave us a chance to make up for our regrets, without mixing anything else. "
Ji Mingjie bandaged Ji Mingqiu, helped him put on his clothes, and said, "Of course I know this, but other people don't think so, especially at this sensitive time."
Ji Mingqiu fell silent and put on his clothes.
Seeing this, Ji Mingjie sighed, and reminded: "The current situation...you and the princess must be extremely careful, especially that child Alan."
"We owe him too much, and we will definitely not let him have any trouble again." Ji Mingqiu's tone was very light, but very firm.
"Anyway, be more careful and try to avoid entering the palace. If it's not possible, let Alan live in the Duke's mansion."
"Thank you brother for your concern. The emperor likes Alan very much. Yao'er wants him to spend more time with the emperor."
"That's it. If we just want to help in the palace, we will be beyond our reach. You can only rely on yourselves to be more careful."
"Don't worry brother, I'll make a note."
Ji Mingjie let out a long breath, and changed the subject: "If you say that Ah Lan is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he dared to contradict the old man."
Ji Mingqiu also smiled, and said: "This child has a pure heart, he is very emotional, it is really inappropriate for his father to say that."
"This is the first job in our Duke's mansion. You didn't see the old man getting angry."
"Father has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and he won't take it to heart."
"That's true. It's just that Ah Lan's temperament is really not suitable for living in a place like the palace. Also, although the old man's words are not pleasant, it involves the safety of the neighboring country. It is inevitable that someone will make a fuss about it. You should persuade him Ah Lan, don't let him contact Fu Guo again." Ji Mingjie reminded.
Ji Mingqiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will."
Ji Linglan rested in the room for a while, and chatted with Ji Xinwen and his brothers for a while, watching the sky darken.A servant's report came from outside the door, saying that dinner was ready and they were asked to go to the main hall for dinner.
Ji Xinwu sent the attendant away, and said with a sigh: "Oh, this dinner is going to be boring again. Ah Lan, you must remember that if grandpa doesn't make a sound, don't speak, otherwise it will definitely be another lesson. .”
Seeing this, Ji Linglan asked curiously: "Don't you usually eat with grandpa?"
Ji Xinwen replied: "Normally, only on the first and fifteenth day of the new year, or when there are guests at home. Today, the second uncle brought you back, and we must have dinner together. I guessed it a long time ago."
"Then will everyone from the Duke's Mansion be here?"
"It should be, let everyone get to know you." Ji Xinwu said jokingly: "Alan is not shy."
Ji Linglan smiled and said, "I'm not too shy, it's just that I don't like crowds."
"There are not many people in our Duke's Mansion. The total number is only a dozen or so, which is relatively small compared to other families of the same family status. What's more, you are the son of Princess Yaohua. After being lost for many years and finally found, the emperor will definitely help you." There will be a lot of people at that time when there is a banquet.”
Ji Linglan smiled bitterly, and said, "Let's forget it, I always feel like an object for people to watch on such occasions, and it's really unnecessary."
Ji Xinwen shook his head when he heard the words, and said seriously: "It is necessary, very necessary. The banquet represents the emperor's acknowledgment of your identity. The more solemn it is, the more important it is to you, and the less those ministers of civil and military affairs will look down on you. The government should also host a banquet, but Grandpa should first see if the emperor hosts a banquet before making any plans."
What Ji Xinwen said, Ji Linglan naturally understood, but she really didn't want to participate in that kind of occasion, just like a monkey in a zoo, letting others judge her.
"Let's go, go find father, don't make grandpa wait too long, or it will be another reprimand."
The three of them left the room, came to the main room to find Ji Mingqiu and Ji Mingjie, and a group of five people walked towards the main hall.
When the five people arrived, there were already female relatives in the main hall. Seeing them coming in, they got up quickly, and one of the middle-aged women greeted them with a smile, and said, "Husband, uncle, you are here."
Ji Mingqiu greeted with a smile: "How is sister-in-law?"
"It's all right. Uncle, why is your arm hurt?" Mrs. Zhang asked with concern.
"I didn't pay attention when I was practicing. If I stretch it, it's fine. Thank you sister-in-law for your concern."
"So that's how it is." Mrs. Zhang looked at Ji Linglan who was beside Ji Mingqiu, and said in a warm voice, "Is this my nephew? His eyebrows and eyes really look like Princess Yaohua."
"Yes, his name is Alan." Ji Mingqiu turned to look at Alan, and said, "Alan, I met my aunt."
Ji Linglan bowed and saluted, "Alan has seen Auntie."
Mrs. Zhang stretched out her hand to support Ji Linglan, and said with a smile: "Exemption from etiquette and etiquette, everyone is from my own family, how can there be so many etiquettes. This child has followed Princess Yaohua, and he looks handsome. He doesn't look like Xinwen or Xinwu. , all of them are tall and thick, and they are as dark as black charcoal heads."
Ji Xinwu said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, you don't bring such hurtful things. My brother and I are a little darker, and it's not good there? There are too many girls in the capital who like us."
"It also depends on who you compare with. If you stand with Ah Lan, see who the girl likes." Although Mrs. Zhang is not forgiving, she looks at the two brothers with loving eyes.
Ji Xinwu looked at Ji Linglan, curled his lips and said, "The big deal is that I don't go out these days, so I don't believe it's not in vain."
Everyone was amused by him, and Ji Linglan quickly said: "Auntie, it's better for a man to be black. He looks masculine and won't be bullied. Women will also like such a man and feel safe."
Ji Xinwu immediately beamed with joy when he heard the words, put his arms around Ji Linglan's shoulders, and said, "Alan can still talk."
"Isn't that right, you two brothers will also study hard with Ah Lan in the future, don't be mad at me all day long." Seeing that they get along happily, Mrs. Zhang was also happy, took out a purse from her sleeve pocket, and stuffed it into Ji Linglan's hand Li, said: "Auntie doesn't have anything to give, this is a gift for meeting, Alan will accept it."
'A gift from an elder cannot be rescinded, and those who resign are disrespectful', Ji Linglan still understood this truth, put away her purse, and said with a smile: "Alan, thank you for the reward, Auntie."
Mrs. Zhang then introduced the people around her to Ji Linglan, only then did Ji Linglan know that except for Ji Xinwen's brother, the other three cousins were all concubines.
While everyone was talking, a servant's announcement came from outside the door, saying: "The Duke has arrived."
Everyone silenced and waited at the door led by Ji Mingjie. After a while, they saw Ji Qing walking slowly.Everyone saluted and waited aside, until Ji Qing walked into the main hall, everyone got up one after another and walked in quietly.
Ji Linglan raised her head to look at Ji Qing's back, and couldn't help but curse in her heart: This weird old man's airs are really bigger than the emperor's, no wonder everyone in the Duke's mansion is afraid of him.
Ji Linglan followed everyone into the main hall.
Ji Qing looked at the crowd and said expressionlessly: "Sit down."
Ji Mingqiu approached Ji Linglan, and reminded: "Alan just follow Xinwen and Xinwu."
Ji Linglan responded, looked at the Ji Xinwen brothers, and followed them into a table, which happened to be a table for men and a table for women.As for Ji Mingjie's two concubines, they didn't even have the qualifications to be seated, so they stood aside in a respectful manner, waiting to prepare dishes for everyone.
It took about half an hour for a meal to be eaten in complete silence. Except for Ji Qing's two words, there was not even the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding. Ji Linglan finally understood why the table was full of delicacies, but Ji Xinwu said food I can't swallow anymore.
Seeing Ji Qing put down his chopsticks, everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at him eagerly.
"The second child will go to the study with me, the others should leave."
"Yes." Everyone responded quickly.
It wasn't until Ji Qing went out that everyone breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
Ji Xinwu patted his chest exaggeratedly, approached Ji Linglan and whispered: "Now you see it, it's just so scary, alas!"
Ji Linglan nodded in agreement, and replied in a low voice, "Indeed."
Ji Xinwen looked at the two of them, and reminded in a low voice: "You two, take it easy, if you let grandpa know, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around."
The three looked at each other and smiled, and the relationship became closer.
The two brothers Ji Xinwen sent Ji Linglan back to the yard, and chatted for a while, seeing that it was getting late, they turned and left.Ji Linglan ordered someone to prepare bath water, and after a comfortable bath, she changed her clothes and prepared to go to bed.
Ji Linglan took out her pocket watch to check the time. It was just ten o'clock in the evening. Then she thought that she hadn't seen Tang Tang for many days, so she went straight to the dissection room.He took out his mobile phone from the locker and checked the messages habitually, but there was nothing.He hesitated and dialed Tang Tang directly.
The phone was connected quickly, and Tang Tang's voice came from the receiver, saying, "Master, you are back."
Hearing that something was wrong with Tang Tang's voice, Ji Linglan couldn't help asking worriedly: "Tang Tang, where are you? What's wrong with your voice?"
"Master, I'm at home, I'm fine, I just have a cold."
Ji Linglan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Did you take your medicine?"
"Eat. Master, don't worry. I'm just too tired from working overtime these two days. I'll be fine after a good sleep."
"Working overtime? What have you been up to recently? How is Xiaojin's case?"
"Master, I was going to leave a message for you today, but my head became mushy when I caught a cold." Tang Tang paused, and then said: "Based on your guess, we investigated the decoration workers who entered the police station that day, and found that there were indeed Question. A worker in the decoration team suddenly got food poisoning that day and was sent to the hospital. The contractor found someone impromptu. It was confirmed that the ID card used by the person was fake, and a worker had seen him in the forensic office I wandered around the door, and I didn't join them when I had lunch at noon."
"That said, it's very likely that the temporary worker killed Xiao Jin."
"Well, according to the photo on the fake ID card, we compared it in the database and found out the identity of this person. The name of this person is Liang Xiaojun. He was born on March 1991, 3 and is 15 years old. Sentenced to three years in prison, he and Han Lei belonged to the same prison area and served nearly two years together. And two days before the incident, Liang Xiaojun's account suddenly increased by 30 yuan, and two days after the incident, another 10 yuan was arrested into the account. We have reason to suspect that Liang Xiaojun is the murderer who killed Xiaojin and stole the evidence."
"So have you found him?"
"There are already clues. He has a friend named Lin Meijuan, who opened a hair salon in the east of the city, and the investigation team has already squatted there."
"With such an obvious clue, the other party must be alert, and he may not appear."
"It was because of Lin Meijuan that Liang Xiaojun was drunk and injured people. He has been living in Lin Meijuan's house since he was released from prison. He has an unusual relationship with Lin Meijuan. I think he will definitely contact Lin Meijuan."
"Has Han Lei's death time been confirmed?"
"The police station invited a forensic anthropologist and a forensic entomologist to determine the approximate time of death based on the condition of the bones and the growth cycle of the insects around the fertilizer pond. It should have been three months ago. The police also asked I found Han Lei's family members and confirmed that their last contact was also three months ago, so it is basically certain that there is no problem with the determination of the time of death."
Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said, "Three months ago? Han Lei stabbed you three years ago, but he died three months ago. Something must have happened in between."
"Han Lei's death time was not too long after Zheng Minglei was arrested. I think it should be related to this incident."
"Where's Zheng Minglei? Are you still refusing to speak?"
Tang Tang sighed, and said, "He is determined to only accept Li Mingli's case."
"Then is there any progress at Qiao's side?"
"On the surface, it seems that Qiao's has nothing to do with the '3 case', but as expected, Zheng's Group was confirmed to be annexed by Qiao's a week ago. Chief Prosecutor Li felt that there must be something wrong, so he joined the Economic Investigation Team Launched an investigation, and it is currently under investigation, but there is no definite evidence yet, but the tax evasion has been confirmed."
"Most of these companies can't stand the investigation. With tax evasion as a cover, there is a legitimate reason."
"Yes." Tang Tang let out a long breath and said, "Master, everything is developing for the better, and I am full of energy now."
The '3 case' has progressed, and Ji Linglan is also happy in her heart, but she is more worried about Tang Tang's physical condition, so she can't help reminding: "As you are, you are still full of energy? I think you should take it easy. Come on, after all, the previous injury damaged your body fundamentally, don't let the case be solved, you fell down first."
"Master, don't worry, I just have a small cold. Get a good night's sleep to ensure that you will still be alive and well tomorrow."
Ji Linglan pondered for a while, and asked, "Tang Tang, is there any progress in the internal investigation of the police force?"
"Not yet, master, you also know that Gao Dui is an old criminal investigator, it's really not easy to catch him."
Ji Linglan thought for a while, and said, "If the investigation team has sufficient manpower, let's start with the black market that sells guns. I am very concerned about the police pistols used to commit crimes."
"Master, what do you mean?"
Ji Linglan hesitated, and reminded: "Who is in charge of the scrapped guns of the police force, and where are they going? Let's implement them."
"Master, do you mean that those guns were rebuilt from scrapped guns?"
"It's not impossible, especially if there is a problem within the police station, it will be more convenient."
"Okay, I will respond to the investigation team." Seeing that Ji Linglan didn't give any more instructions, Tang Tang asked aloud, "Master, you haven't come back for more than half a month. What happened?"
"I have now arrived at the imperial capital of Linguo. I was assassinated on the road before, and I have been with others since then. I have no chance to be alone, so I didn't come here."
"Assassinated? Was the master injured?"
"No, don't worry, your master's strength is not enough, but his brain power is no worse than anyone else's. How could he be manipulated so easily?"
"That's true. But master, it's better to be careful. If they fail to assassinate once, there will definitely be a second or third time, especially now that you are already under the nose of others." Ji Linglan never hides anything from Tang Tang , so he knows Ji Linglan's matter like the back of his hand.
"Don't worry, the emperor of Linguo is very kind to me, and the people of Ji's family are also kind to me. With the support of these two Dinghaishenzhen, it is not so easy for them to deal with me." Ji Linglan thought of Lintianyao's illness, Said: "By the way, Tang Tang, I need your help with something."
"Whatever it is, the master can just say it directly, so why not be polite to me."
"I suspect that the Emperor Linguo was poisoned, and I want you to help me test whether there is any poison in his excrement."
"Okay. When is the master going to give me a sample?"
"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'll call you then, just pay attention."
"Then the master suspects some kind of poison in him?"
"His illness should be a problem with the central nervous system. I suspect that it may be mercury poisoning, but others are not ruled out. You should do more tests."
"Okay, I see."
"One more thing. In the past two days, I have received a lot of gifts for meeting, and I always want to send some gifts in return. You can customize some high-end perfumes and cosmetics for me. I plan to open a store in Linguohuangdu. They are the best advertising. "
"That's a good relationship. With your current status as a master, you will be in contact with either members of the royal family or important court officials. With their publicity, if you want to open a store, it will definitely be popular."
"Well, so the things you want to prepare must be good in terms of quality and taste."
"Don't worry, master, I will let my mother prepare for this matter, she knows more about this than me."
"Success, take a good rest, I'll hang up first, and if I have a sample, I'll call you."
Ji Linglan hung up the phone, took out Fu Nanling's portrait to look at, sat down in front of the table, picked up a brush and began to sketch, with a few strokes to outline, a man appeared behind Fu Nanling, circled him arms.Then gradually refine it, draw the man's eyebrows and eyes, and there is a small tear mole under the affectionate almond eyes.A quarter of an hour later, Ji Linglan stopped the pen in her hand, looked at the two people on the paper with satisfaction, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and then took a photo with her mobile phone.When the two meet, he will definitely show Fu Nanling this painting.
Coming out of the dissecting room, Ji Linglan blew out the candle on the table and lay back on the bed, unconsciously thinking about what Fu Nanling was doing at the moment.Strange to say, he was not worried about the contest between Fu Nanping and Fu Nanling at all. He didn't think that Fu Nanping could beat Fu Nanling, not in his previous life, nor in his rebirth. What he was worried about now was Fu Nanling's body. Fortunately, Li Xiangwan was taking care of Fu Nanling, knowing that Li Xiangwan and Mr. Zhang were entangled, he could feel a little relieved.
"I don't know if Ah Ling has received my secret letter..."
Thinking of that secret letter, Ji Linglan couldn't help but feel hot. This was the first time he wrote a love letter to someone, and the other party was a man.After thinking wildly for a while, Ji Linglan fell asleep in a daze.
In the early morning of the second day, the precise biological clock made Ji Linglan wake up on time at six o'clock. He woke up after looking at the bed curtain above his head, then got up, called the servants to fetch water, and washed up briefly. He practiced boxing and kicking in the yard.
Not long after, Ji Mingqiu also got up, stood at the door and quietly watched Ji Linglan punching.Seeing him stop, he walked over, picked up the handkerchief and handed it to him, saying: "Who did Ah Lan learn Kung Fu from?"
"Father." Ji Linglan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I learned from Brother Lu, he taught me for two years."
Ji Mingqiu didn't intend to delve into it, but just asked casually, but he still told him: "It's good to learn some self-defense skills, so don't let it go to waste in the future."
"No, even if you don't defend yourself, you can still strengthen your body by practicing your fists and kicks."
"After breakfast, I will take you back to the palace."
Ji Linglan paused, and asked strangely: "Doesn't father live in the palace?"
"It's been several months since I went out. There is a backlog of official duties in the army. It should be very busy these few days. It is too inconvenient to go in and out of the palace, so I will not live in the palace. Ah Lan will take care of your mother and Ting for me. Son."
"Father, don't worry, Ah Lan will take good care of mother and Ting'er."
Ji Mingqiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "With your words, I feel at ease."
"Don't talk about this, we will be brothers in the future, if you need help, just ask, we will never refuse."
In the Duke's mansion, Ji Qing is absolutely unambiguous, and no one dares to question it. Ji Linglan just came back, and when the two met for the first time, they refused to give in. Ji Xinwu had to admire Ji Xinwu, and looked at Ji Linglan's expression. The bright light in his eyes made him an idol.

A group of people came to Sunset Garden and went straight in. Ji Mingqiu turned to look at Ji Linglan and said, "Alan, this courtyard was where I lived before I got married. Choose a room and live here tonight."
"Yes, father."
Ji Mingjie also looked at the two brothers Li Xinwen, and said, "Xinwen, Xinwu, Ah Lan is not familiar with this place, you two brothers show him around."
"Father, don't worry, we will take good care of Ah Lan." Ji Xinwu assured, patting his chest.
Ji Mingjie nodded in satisfaction, and entered the main room with Ji Mingqiu.
"Take off your clothes, and I'll help you with the medicine."
"Don't bother brother, I can do it myself."
"What are you talking about, every time you were injured since you were a child, I didn't help you with the medicine."
Ji Mingqiu and Ji Mingjie are brothers, and they have always had a good relationship. It was only after Ji Mingqiu got married and moved out of the Duke's mansion that the two brothers became estranged.
Ji Mingqiu didn't say any more and took off his shirt.Ji Mingjie helped him untie the gauze carefully, revealing the wound on his right shoulder.
Ji Mingjie also practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he could tell at a glance that the wound was stabbed by a long sword.He frowned, took out the wound medicine, changed Ji Mingqiu's medicine, and asked, "What happened on the road? Why did you get hurt by the sword?"
"Assassinated on the road, more than half of the hundreds of people in the envoy were killed or injured."
Ji Mingjie paused, and asked in shock: "Who has the guts to assassinate you and Princess Yaohua?"
"There are no clues on the killer, and we can't be sure who is behind the scenes." Until the matter is settled, the less people know the better, so Ji Mingqiu chooses to hide it for the time being.
Ji Mingjie frowned more and more tightly, and said: "Does the emperor know about this?"
Ji Mingqiu shook his head, and said truthfully: "The emperor is lingering on the sick bed, Yao'er didn't want him to worry, so she kept it a secret. She only said that I met bandits on the way and I was injured when I fought against them."
Ji Mingjie sighed, and said: "The emperor's body is indeed not as good as before. He has never stopped going to court before, and now he cannot go to court one day in three days."
"I saw that the emperor's spirit has improved a lot today, and his condition should improve."
Ji Mingjie was silent for a while, and said: "Mingqiu, now that the emperor is getting old and lingering on the sick bed, but you have found Alan at this moment... You should know how powerful it is, what do you and the princess think?"
Ji Mingqiu frowned, looked at Ji Mingjie, and said, "I don't quite understand what brother means. It was just a coincidence to find A Lan. It's because God took pity on our husband and wife and gave us a chance to make up for our regrets, without mixing anything else. "
Ji Mingjie bandaged Ji Mingqiu, helped him put on his clothes, and said, "Of course I know this, but other people don't think so, especially at this sensitive time."

"That's true. It's just that Ah Lan's temperament is really not suitable for living in a place like the palace. Also, although the old man's words are not pleasant, it involves the safety of the neighboring country. It is inevitable that someone will make a fuss about it. You should persuade him Ah Lan, don't let him contact Fu Guo again." Ji Mingjie reminded.
Ji Mingqiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will."
Ji Linglan rested in the room for a while, and chatted with Ji Xinwen and his brothers for a while, watching the sky darken.A servant's report came from outside the door, saying that dinner was ready and they were asked to go to the main hall for dinner.

"I didn't pay attention when I was practicing. If I stretch it, it's fine. Thank you sister-in-law for your concern."
"So that's how it is." Mrs. Zhang looked at Ji Linglan who was beside Ji Mingqiu, and said in a warm voice, "Is this my nephew? His eyebrows and eyes really look like Princess Yaohua."
"Yes, his name is Alan." Ji Mingqiu turned to look at Alan, and said, "Alan, I met my aunt."
Ji Linglan bowed and saluted, "Alan has seen Auntie."
Mrs. Zhang stretched out her hand to support Ji Linglan, and said with a smile: "Exemption from etiquette and etiquette, everyone is from my own family, how can there be so many etiquettes. This child has followed Princess Yaohua, and he looks handsome. He doesn't look like Xinwen or Xinwu. , all of them are tall and thick, and they are as dark as black charcoal heads."
Ji Xinwu said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, you don't bring such hurtful things. My brother and I are a little darker, and it's not good there? There are too many girls in the capital who like us."
"It also depends on who you compare with. If you stand with Ah Lan, see who the girl likes." Although Mrs. Zhang is not forgiving, she looks at the two brothers with loving eyes.
Ji Xinwu looked at Ji Linglan, curled his lips and said, "The big deal is that I don't go out these days, so I don't believe it's not in vain."
Everyone was amused by him, and Ji Linglan quickly said: "Auntie, it's better for a man to be black. He looks masculine and won't be bullied. Women will also like such a man and feel safe."
Ji Xinwu immediately beamed with joy when he heard the words, put his arms around Ji Linglan's shoulders, and said, "Alan can still talk."
"Isn't that right, you two brothers will also study hard with Ah Lan in the future, don't be mad at me all day long." Seeing that they get along happily, Mrs. Zhang was also happy, took out a purse from her sleeve pocket, and stuffed it into Ji Linglan's hand Li, said: "Auntie doesn't have anything to give, this is a gift for meeting, Alan will accept it."
'A gift from an elder cannot be rescinded, and those who resign are disrespectful', Ji Linglan still understood this truth, put away her purse, and said with a smile: "Alan, thank you for the reward, Auntie."
Mrs. Zhang then introduced the people around her to Ji Linglan, only then did Ji Linglan know that except for Ji Xinwen's brother, the other three cousins were all concubines.
While everyone was talking, a servant's announcement came from outside the door, saying: "The Duke has arrived."
Everyone silenced and waited at the door led by Ji Mingjie. After a while, they saw Ji Qing walking slowly.Everyone saluted and waited aside, until Ji Qing walked into the main hall, everyone got up one after another and walked in quietly.
Ji Linglan raised her head to look at Ji Qing's back, and couldn't help but curse in her heart: This weird old man's airs are really bigger than the emperor's, no wonder everyone in the Duke's mansion is afraid of him.
Ji Linglan followed everyone into the main hall.
Ji Qing looked at the crowd and said expressionlessly: "Sit down."
Ji Mingqiu approached Ji Linglan, and reminded: "Alan just follow Xinwen and Xinwu."
Ji Linglan responded, looked at the Ji Xinwen brothers, and followed them into a table, which happened to be a table for men and a table for women.As for Ji Mingjie's two concubines, they didn't even have the qualifications to be seated, so they stood aside in a respectful manner, waiting to prepare dishes for everyone.
It took about half an hour for a meal to be eaten in complete silence. Except for Ji Qing's two words, there was not even the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding. Ji Linglan finally understood why the table was full of delicacies, but Ji Xinwu said food I can't swallow anymore.
Seeing Ji Qing put down his chopsticks, everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at him eagerly.
"The second child will go to the study with me, the others should leave."
"Yes." Everyone responded quickly.
It wasn't until Ji Qing went out that everyone breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
Ji Xinwu patted his chest exaggeratedly, approached Ji Linglan and whispered: "Now you see it, it's just so scary, alas!"
Ji Linglan nodded in agreement, and replied in a low voice, "Indeed."
Ji Xinwen looked at the two of them, and reminded in a low voice: "You two, take it easy, if you let grandpa know, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around."
The three looked at each other and smiled, and the relationship became closer.
The two brothers Ji Xinwen sent Ji Linglan back to the yard, and chatted for a while, seeing that it was getting late, they turned and left.Ji Linglan ordered someone to prepare bath water, and after a comfortable bath, she changed her clothes and prepared to go to bed.
Ji Linglan took out her pocket watch to check the time. It was just ten o'clock in the evening. Then she thought that she hadn't seen Tang Tang for many days, so she went straight to the dissection room.He took out his mobile phone from the locker and checked the messages habitually, but there was nothing.He hesitated and dialed Tang Tang directly.
The phone was connected quickly, and Tang Tang's voice came from the receiver, saying, "Master, you are back."
Hearing that something was wrong with Tang Tang's voice, Ji Linglan couldn't help asking worriedly: "Tang Tang, where are you? What's wrong with your voice?"
"Master, I'm at home, I'm fine, I just have a cold."
Ji Linglan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Did you take your medicine?"
"Eat. Master, don't worry. I'm just too tired from working overtime these two days. I'll be fine after a good sleep."
"Working overtime? What have you been up to recently? How is Xiaojin's case?"
"Master, I was going to leave a message for you today, but my head became mushy when I caught a cold." Tang Tang paused, and then said: "Based on your guess, we investigated the decoration workers who entered the police station that day, and found that there were indeed Question. A worker in the decoration team suddenly got food poisoning that day and was sent to the hospital. The contractor found someone impromptu. It was confirmed that the ID card used by the person was fake, and a worker had seen him in the forensic office I wandered around the door, and I didn't join them when I had lunch at noon."
"That said, it's very likely that the temporary worker killed Xiao Jin."
"Well, according to the photo on the fake ID card, we compared it in the database and found out the identity of this person. The name of this person is Liang Xiaojun. He was born on March 1991, 3 and is 15 years old. Sentenced to three years in prison, he and Han Lei belonged to the same prison area and served nearly two years together. And two days before the incident, Liang Xiaojun's account suddenly increased by 30 yuan, and two days after the incident, another 10 yuan was arrested into the account. We have reason to suspect that Liang Xiaojun is the murderer who killed Xiaojin and stole the evidence."
"So have you found him?"
"There are already clues. He has a friend named Lin Meijuan, who opened a hair salon in the east of the city, and the investigation team has already squatted there."
"With such an obvious clue, the other party must be alert, and he may not appear."
"It was because of Lin Meijuan that Liang Xiaojun was drunk and injured people. He has been living in Lin Meijuan's house since he was released from prison. He has an unusual relationship with Lin Meijuan. I think he will definitely contact Lin Meijuan."
"Has Han Lei's death time been confirmed?"
"The police station invited a forensic anthropologist and a forensic entomologist to determine the approximate time of death based on the condition of the bones and the growth cycle of the insects around the fertilizer pond. It should have been three months ago. The police also asked I found Han Lei's family members and confirmed that their last contact was also three months ago, so it is basically certain that there is no problem with the determination of the time of death."
Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said, "Three months ago? Han Lei stabbed you three years ago, but he died three months ago. Something must have happened in between."
"Han Lei's death time was not too long after Zheng Minglei was arrested. I think it should be related to this incident."
"Where's Zheng Minglei? Are you still refusing to speak?"
Tang Tang sighed, and said, "He is determined to only accept Li Mingli's case."
"Then is there any progress at Qiao's side?"
"On the surface, it seems that Qiao's has nothing to do with the '3 case', but as expected, Zheng's Group was confirmed to be annexed by Qiao's a week ago. Chief Prosecutor Li felt that there must be something wrong, so he joined the Economic Investigation Team Launched an investigation, and it is currently under investigation, but there is no definite evidence yet, but the tax evasion has been confirmed."
"Most of these companies can't stand the investigation. With tax evasion as a cover, there is a legitimate reason."
"Yes." Tang Tang let out a long breath and said, "Master, everything is developing for the better, and I am full of energy now."
The '3 case' has progressed, and Ji Linglan is also happy in her heart, but she is more worried about Tang Tang's physical condition, so she can't help reminding: "As you are, you are still full of energy? I think you should take it easy. Come on, after all, the previous injury damaged your body fundamentally, don't let the case be solved, you fell down first."
"Master, don't worry, I just have a small cold. Get a good night's sleep to ensure that you will still be alive and well tomorrow."
Ji Linglan pondered for a while, and asked, "Tang Tang, is there any progress in the internal investigation of the police force?"
"Not yet, master, you also know that Gao Dui is an old criminal investigator, it's really not easy to catch him."
Ji Linglan thought for a while, and said, "If the investigation team has sufficient manpower, let's start with the black market that sells guns. I am very concerned about the police pistols used to commit crimes."
"Master, what do you mean?"
Ji Linglan hesitated, and reminded: "Who is in charge of the scrapped guns of the police force, and where are they going? Let's implement them."
"Master, do you mean that those guns were rebuilt from scrapped guns?"
"It's not impossible, especially if there is a problem within the police station, it will be more convenient."
"Okay, I will respond to the investigation team." Seeing that Ji Linglan didn't give any more instructions, Tang Tang asked aloud, "Master, you haven't come back for more than half a month. What happened?"
"I have now arrived at the imperial capital of Linguo. I was assassinated on the road before, and I have been with others since then. I have no chance to be alone, so I didn't come here."
"Assassinated? Was the master injured?"
"No, don't worry, your master's strength is not enough, but his brain power is no worse than anyone else's. How could he be manipulated so easily?"
"That's true. But master, it's better to be careful. If they fail to assassinate once, there will definitely be a second or third time, especially now that you are already under the nose of others." Ji Linglan never hides anything from Tang Tang , so he knows Ji Linglan's matter like the back of his hand.
"Don't worry, the emperor of Linguo is very kind to me, and the people of Ji's family are also kind to me. With the support of these two Dinghaishenzhen, it is not so easy for them to deal with me." Ji Linglan thought of Lintianyao's illness, Said: "By the way, Tang Tang, I need your help with something."
"Whatever it is, the master can just say it directly, so why not be polite to me."
"I suspect that the Emperor Linguo was poisoned, and I want you to help me test whether there is any poison in his excrement."
"Okay. When is the master going to give me a sample?"
"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'll call you then, just pay attention."
"Then the master suspects some kind of poison in him?"
"His illness should be a problem with the central nervous system. I suspect that it may be mercury poisoning, but others are not ruled out. You should do more tests."
"Okay, I see."
"One more thing. In the past two days, I have received a lot of gifts for meeting, and I always want to send some gifts in return. You can customize some high-end perfumes and cosmetics for me. I plan to open a store in Linguohuangdu. They are the best advertising. "
"That's a good relationship. With your current status as a master, you will be in contact with either members of the royal family or important court officials. With their publicity, if you want to open a store, it will definitely be popular."
"Well, so the things you want to prepare must be good in terms of quality and taste."
"Don't worry, master, I will let my mother prepare for this matter, she knows more about this than me."
"Success, take a good rest, I'll hang up first, and if I have a sample, I'll call you."
Ji Linglan hung up the phone, took out Fu Nanling's portrait to look at, sat down in front of the table, picked up a brush and began to sketch, with a few strokes to outline, a man appeared behind Fu Nanling, circled him arms.Then gradually refine it, draw the man's eyebrows and eyes, and there is a small tear mole under the affectionate almond eyes.A quarter of an hour later, Ji Linglan stopped the pen in her hand, looked at the two people on the paper with satisfaction, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and then took a photo with her mobile phone.When the two meet, he will definitely show Fu Nanling this painting.
Coming out of the dissecting room, Ji Linglan blew out the candle on the table and lay back on the bed, unconsciously thinking about what Fu Nanling was doing at the moment.Strange to say, he was not worried about the contest between Fu Nanping and Fu Nanling at all. He didn't think that Fu Nanping could beat Fu Nanling, not in his previous life, nor in his rebirth. What he was worried about now was Fu Nanling's body. Fortunately, Li Xiangwan was taking care of Fu Nanling, knowing that Li Xiangwan and Mr. Zhang were entangled, he could feel a little relieved.
"I don't know if Ah Ling has received my secret letter..."
Thinking of that secret letter, Ji Linglan couldn't help but feel hot. This was the first time he wrote a love letter to someone, and the other party was a man.After thinking wildly for a while, Ji Linglan fell asleep in a daze.
In the early morning of the second day, the precise biological clock made Ji Linglan wake up on time at six o'clock. He woke up after looking at the bed curtain above his head, then got up, called the servants to fetch water, and washed up briefly. He practiced boxing and kicking in the yard.
Not long after, Ji Mingqiu also got up, stood at the door and quietly watched Ji Linglan punching.Seeing him stop, he walked over, picked up the handkerchief and handed it to him, saying: "Who did Ah Lan learn Kung Fu from?"
"Father." Ji Linglan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I learned from Brother Lu, he taught me for two years."
Ji Mingqiu didn't intend to delve into it, but just asked casually, but he still told him: "It's good to learn some self-defense skills, so don't let it go to waste in the future."
"No, even if you don't defend yourself, you can still strengthen your body by practicing your fists and kicks."
"After breakfast, I will take you back to the palace."
Ji Linglan paused, and asked strangely: "Doesn't father live in the palace?"
"It's been several months since I went out. There is a backlog of official duties in the army. It should be very busy these few days. It is too inconvenient to go in and out of the palace, so I will not live in the palace. Ah Lan will take care of your mother and Ting for me. Son."
"Father, don't worry, Ah Lan will take good care of mother and Ting'er."
Ji Mingqiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "With your words, I feel at ease."
