Jian Yu was surprised: "Why is this? I am not a member of the Twelve Clansmen. If it is okay in normal times, how can I interfere now that the witch is new?"
What's more, he and Meng Lan didn't have a close brotherly relationship. Jian Yu was vomiting over various cases in the capital. Now he was traveling thousands of miles away on official business. He only wanted to eat and drink, so he didn't want to work.
"I don't know what Master Jian is talking about." Meng Lan sighed: "It's just that I do have difficulties now."
The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty sent Jian Yu on this trip because he still wanted to live in peace with the twelve tribes. Meng Lan was the leader of the tribe that they recognized and could support. Since he said so, Jian Yu could not refuse people thousands of miles away.
outside.
Jian Yu had no choice but to say: "Clan Chief Meng, please tell me how you can help me."
Meng Lan said: "The incident at Lin Jinji Restaurant caused a great sensation in the city. The person who handled the matter at that time was my brother-in-law Sang Zhe, the head of Jianming Hall under me. He is a very smart and capable man, and he is also very upright. This
The evidence at the time of the case was solid, both parties were ordinary people, and they had nothing to do with the rich and powerful. I believe he enforced the law impartially."
Jian Yu comforted him: "This case does not sound complicated. The old woman of the Lin family may be complaining because she does not know the inside story. Naturally, she did not expect that her son and daughter-in-law would be so confused."
"Yes, that's what I said too." Meng Lan said: "But now that the witch has announced it in public, the case must be re-investigated. It is obviously inappropriate to let Sangzhe investigate again."
After self-examination, no matter what the result is, others will not believe it. At least, the old lady of the Lin family will definitely not believe it and thinks you are fooling her.
Meng Lan said: "In Hani City, there are two agencies that manage public security in the city, the Jianming Hall and the Punishment Hall. However, in these extraordinary times, the people in the Punishment Hall used to have bad conduct and I was about to replace them. Now it's too late, so I think about the future.
I want to go, Mr. Jian is the minister of Dali Temple, but he is not the best at difficult cases. It is really God's will."
Jian Yu was speechless. What kind of providence was this?
Jian Yu had no choice but to ask: "Then in what capacity should I participate?"
"Supervision." Meng Lan seemed to have thought hard about it: "I sent people to investigate this matter. To show fairness, I asked Master Jian to supervise the case. This way it can be said to the outside world that the powerful forces in the city will not influence the case. It is reasonable."
Although Jian Yu thought it was strange, Meng Landu said it made sense, so that was fine.
Meng Lan said: "My subordinate is fair and loyal, but he is really not good at this. I will give him orders and obey Master Jian in everything."
Meng Lan requested this, and Jian Yu had no choice but to comply.
After talking again, we returned to our residence.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Bai Yue asked everyone's question: "Even if we investigate, what does it have to do with the witch?"
Jian Yu was also amused: "The relationship is, if we find any clues, don't make it public and let the witch speak out."
Before anyone else said anything, Qin Jiu, who was outspoken, said first: "Isn't that just asking us to work, but not giving us credit? Let us be anonymous and be heroes?"
"This is not about being a hero incognito. This is called being a coolie incognito." Bai Yue corrected, while Qin Jiu stuffed a peeled peanut candy into his mouth.
Liang Meng suddenly sighed.
Qin Jiu looked at Liang Meng with bulging cheeks: "What's wrong?"
Liang Meng scratched his head: "I don't know if it's my misunderstanding, but I always feel that Miss Bai has been very good to Xiaojiu recently."
Bai Yue said calmly: "Was it not good before?"
"It was good before," Liang Meng said seriously, "but it's been particularly good recently."
How should I put it, the good one before was like being a little sister. The good one now is like raising a daughter.
Liang Meng thought about it and felt that he was right. During meals recently, Bai Yue served Qin Jiu with food more often than before.
And it comes with meat and vegetables, as well as fruits and eggs every day, and dairy products are indispensable on the grassland. Even the meat is paired with pork, mutton, and beef...
Qin Jiu has been comparing heights with Liang Meng recently. Of course she is not as tall as Liang Meng, and it is difficult to be as tall as Liang Meng, but comparing with each other, it seems that she is a little taller.
Qin Jiu hugged Bai Yue proudly: "Sister Bai likes me, are you jealous? Sister Bai said that I am still growing and can grow taller."
Liang Meng shook his head repeatedly, "I don't dare to be jealous. If Bai Yue picks up vegetables and soup for me every day and asks for my welfare, I probably won't survive more than three meals, and I will be killed by the young master."
Bai Yue touched Qin Jiu's head, feeling particularly kind.
Ever since she knew she liked Prince Ning, her feelings towards Qin Jiu were different. She had an inexplicable desire to help Prince Ning take care of his family. No one could explain this mentality, so she had to turn it into motivation to urge Qin Jiu to eat, drink, and grow up healthily.
Jian Yu actually thinks it's good. After taking care of children, you still have to take care of them sooner or later. It's also good to familiarize yourself with the psychology and process.
Although there are many people taking care of children in Jian's house, including himself, his parents, wet nurses, maids and young men, Bai Yue doesn't need to worry about it at all, but the more Bai Yue has this intention, the better.
Jian Yu let everyone talk and then said: "There is no way to remain anonymous, but we will definitely not let our work go in vain. Chief Meng Lang will definitely be well rewarded."
Everyone looked at Jian Yu with bright eyes.
Jian Yu was very apologetic: "Of course I want to say polite words, why can't I stare behind me and ask what I want? So I said no."
The stars in everyone's eyes suddenly went out.
It's so noble of you to work so hard for everyone.
"Okay, let's check it out." Bai Yue still felt distressed: "Clan Chief Meng Lan is a patriarch after all, and he is not so ignorant of the ways of the world."
It is said that it is an investigation, but where should this case be investigated? In this place, everyone is blind and does not recognize anyone.
Fortunately, that night, Meng Lan sent the person in charge, who was actually the servant, and brought all the previous files and files.
Meng Lan was really good at selecting people, and the one he sent was a middle-aged man who looked very majestic. He stood in the crowd with his hands behind his back and a straight face. At first glance, he looked very official and overbearing.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, his aura completely disappeared.
"Master Jian." The middle-aged man said respectfully, "I am Chen Fangnan. The clan leader has ordered me to follow you for the next few days and be at your disposal."
This man's accent was somewhat different from that of the Twelve Clansmen. He explained: "I lived in the capital for a few years when I was a child, and then returned to the Twelve Clans, so I have a bit of a Zhou Jingcheng accent. The clan leader sent me to listen to Lord Jian's mission,
Just thinking that I am more familiar with Dazhou and can better understand what Master Jian means."
Meng Lan also had good intentions.
Everyone spread out the files on the table, and Bai Yue suddenly said: "By the way, what are these two stores doing now?"
Unable to accept this point, Chen Fangnan said: "A restaurant is still a restaurant now. A cloth shop is still a cloth shop now."
Qin Jiu said in surprise: "With so many people dead, do any guests dare to come?"
