That person just now...

Lin Ruyu stopped after walking to the rockery and frowned slowly. Before she could figure it out, Lin Feng ran over quickly and told Lin Ruyu who the official from the Yamen was and which farm stewards were coming. Later,

What should you pay attention to?

Lin Ruyu listened carefully and followed Lin Feng back to the front hall. In addition to the chief butler Lin Xiang, there were also several stewards of the Lin family farm and two officials in charge of agricultural affairs in official uniforms.

The Lin family has sent people to discuss matters with the Yamen twice about rice seeding and seedling cultivation. Today, Lin Ruyu, who is the head of the Lin family, needs to make a final decision on the farm and the number of acres of land for rice seedling cultivation.

After spending more than half an hour to deal with the matter, Lin Ruyu suddenly stopped on her way to visit her mother in the backyard and ordered, "Go and see if the second uncle and Mr. Zheng are still in the garden."

The little maid came back soon and said, "Go back to my lady, Mr. Zheng has left, and the second master has also gone out."

Lin Ruyu frowned, entered the garden, and stood motionless on the steps of the pavilion next to the rockery.

What is the girl standing here looking at? Yuying followed the girl's gaze and looked at the rockery beside the pond.

This rockery is very famous in Xuanzhou, and many people come here to see it. But the girl has seen it since she was a child, so how could she still be stunned by it?

Just when Yuying was about to speak, the girl suddenly turned towards her. After following the girl for so many years, Yuying was frightened by the girl for the first time, and her legs went weak and she almost fell down.

Lin Ruyu stared at the red paint pavilion pillar on the right side of the steps, that's it!

"Yuying, Yunjuan, please step back."

"yes."

The girl's face was cold and solemn, Yunjuan didn't dare to talk, and helped Yuying to retreat.

Lin Ruyu asked Xianyin, "When we came to the pavilion, did my sister see clearly the entourage of Master Zheng Changming standing here?"

Xian Yin replied, "The man lowered his head and had no murderous intent on his body. What do you think is wrong with him?"

It is the first reaction of the guard to determine whether the person around him has murderous intent or abnormal behavior. If there is no murderous intent or abnormal behavior, the person will not receive the attention of the guard.

What's wrong? Lin Ruyu lowered her eyes, "He's just pretending to be content."

What?!

Xian Yin immediately said, "Girl, are you sure?"

"It must be him." Although she didn't see his face, Lin Ruyu felt a familiar scent when she walked past him. It wasn't that the clothes on his body had been smoked with some kind of incense, or that some kind of powder had been applied on him.

An indescribable feeling of familiarity made Lin Ruyu feel palpitated when she walked past him.

"Send a smart and cautious person to follow Zheng Changming secretly. Don't follow too close, so as not to scare the snake." Lin Ruyu walked down the steps and walked towards her mother's yard, her little face tightened.

He came to her home grandly and stood under her nose, but she let him go! The more Lin Ruyu thought about it, the angrier she became and she wanted to slap herself in the face.

But today was not without success, at least I found out where he was hiding.

Is Zheng Changming the second An Ziyuan, or is he pretending to be An Ziyuan's accomplice?

Lin Ruyu stopped in front of her mother's courtyard and raised her eyes to look at the crape myrtle flowers that had been washed clean by the rain.

Although she only met him once, Lin Ruyu felt that Zheng Changming did not look like a bad person. Shen Ge, who had more contact with Zheng Changming, did not seem to notice anything unusual about the people around Zheng Changming.

But if you know people well but don’t know their hearts, bad people will not write bad words on their faces.

The fake An Ziyuan must know that Shen Ge asked Zheng Changming to paint the portraits of Mr. Dongzhu and An Lunchun. Could the fake An Ziyuan have transferred Mr. Dongzhu from Hezhou?

Or...killed?

Lin Ruyu took a deep breath of the cool, moist air, but still couldn't suppress the panic in her heart.

Shen Ge is away, she has to do something, and she must not let anything happen to Mr. Dongzhu!

***

In the private room in the backyard of Hongchang Inn, An Fengchun felt that the prince looked up to Lin Ruyu too highly.

"Miss Lin has only met An Ziyuan a few times. Your face and body shape now are completely different from those then. It is impossible for her to recognize you."

When pretending to be An Ziyuan, He Jiongming not only put on a mask, but also had specially made shoes, with the soles increased by an inch. And

Zi'an Ziyuan, a porcelain merchant in Xia Cai, has nothing to do with Zheng Changming, the son of the Prime Minister of Hezhou County. Logically speaking, the secret will not be revealed. New

But He Jiongming trusted his intuition. When Lin Ruyu stopped next to him, she obviously noticed something. "Although she didn't necessarily recognize that I was An Ziyuan, she must have noticed something."

Lin Ruyu paused for a few breaths on the steps, and An Fengchun naturally noticed it. Now that the big thing is pending, Lin Ruyu cannot be allowed to reveal their relationship with An Ziyuan.

If you don’t do one, you won’t stop!

"Your Majesty, my subordinates will go to the Lin family tonight and arrest Miss Lin. The others..."

He Jiongming smiled confidently, "She's just a little clever girl, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. But just in case, you and Lin Chun should not show up again."

An Fengchun responded, "What about you, Your Majesty?"

"Contact Xu Luyuan."

"yes."

Hearing He Jiongming say that he was going back to resume his duties, Zheng Changming, who was painting beauties in the room, raised his head and asked, "Have you finished your errands?"

"It's done." He Jiongming warned, "My subordinates are here with secret orders. Please also ask Mr. Zheng not to tell others about this."

As a son of an official, although Zheng Changming is unruly, he also understands the key points and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this matter will never be spread to the ears of the second person from here."

He Jiongming clasped his fists and saluted, exited the main room, and left Hongchang Inn with An Linchun.

Lin Ruyu stood up and frowned, "You went to the back alley of the Beicheng government office and never came out?"

"yes."

The back alley of the official government office is close to the Xuanzhou official government office. Most of the courtyards inside are small courtyards with one or two entrances, which are owned by the Xuanzhou official government office. Those small courtyards are allocated to Xuanzhou officials as a place for permanent residence or rest, and the government officials also send officials to guard them. , it is impossible for a stranger to stalk in the alley.

An Ziyuan must have realized that he recognized him, so he entered the alley. Lin Ruyu ordered, "Sister Xianyin sent someone to find the son, told him about it, and asked him to send someone to keep an eye on the alley behind the government office. Export and exchange news with you in time."

Shen Ge opened Wanxiang Tea House to collect information. He must have arranged for someone to keep an eye on such an important place in the back alley of the government office.

After Xian Yin left, Lin Ruyu wrote a letter to Qiao Yuqing, her eldest cousin at her second aunt's house, and then asked Yun Juan to call Luo Shishi and ordered them to take the letter to Qiao's house to find my eldest cousin, "Let's The person you want to follow lives in the back alley of the government office, and my second uncle also works in the government office. You give the letter to my eldest cousin, and he will find a way to arrange for the seventeenth brother to enter the back alley of the government office and keep a close eye on him."

Qiao Yuqing is four years older than Lin Ruyu. Because he is the eldest son of the family, he rarely has time to play with Lin Ruyu and the others. Unlike his aunt's cousins, who either eat or take things when they come here, Qiao Yuqing always eats and drinks every time he comes to the Lin family. She would bring delicious and fun gifts to her cousins. Although the things were not expensive, they were full of love. Therefore, although Lin Ruyu had not seen much of this cousin, she had a very good impression of him.
