Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 402 There is a new task

"What happened to the two servants?" Ye Cheng felt a little weird when he heard it, "Then have you found out why the two of them fell into the well?"

Xiao Lanfeng shook his head, "The mansion wanted to investigate, but they couldn't do anything. The two of them are usually fine, but for some reason they fell into the well."

Ye Cheng wondered, "Could it have been silenced?"

After all, the palace has always been peaceful. Although there are many servants in the mansion, there has never been an incident of inexplicable deaths of servants.

This time, not only did a servant fall into the well inexplicably, but also two of them had accidents in succession, and it happened to be at such a critical moment, Ye Cheng had no choice but to have suspicions.

Concubine Xiao frowned slightly after hearing this, "You mean, Qing'er and the cook were involved in the poisoning, so the black hands behind the scenes silenced them both in order to destroy the evidence?"

Ye Cheng nodded, "It's possible. If there's nothing weird about it, then surely something will happen to Qing'er and the cook."

Concubine Xiao also felt that there were many doubts about the deaths of Qing'er and the cook, but she had no way to connect the accidents of these two with A'Xian.

"However, as far as I know, A-Xian doesn't seem to have the opportunity to get in touch with Qing'er and the cook. Even if Ah-Xian really did this kind of thing, she may not have contact with Qing'er and the others." Although Princess Xiao hated A-Xian , but she didn't want to easily wrong an innocent person.

Ye Cheng said irrefutably, "If A-Xian was a more cautious person, then of course she wouldn't be noticed that she had a close relationship with Qing'er, the cook, and she would inevitably hide some things. What's more, the mansion Among the servants, whether two servants are on good terms with each other or what they have done may not all be known."

Xiao Lanfeng seconded, "Ye Cheng is right, we know people and face but not heart, and we have no way of knowing whether A-Xian and Qing'er are very close."

After such a discussion, Concubine Xiao believed in Ye Cheng for a while, and no longer believed that it was him who poisoned her.

And Ye Cheng also lessened his hostility towards Concubine Xiao. He could see that the poisoning incident was not necessarily directed and acted by Concubine Xiao. Here, he is already doomed.

At this time, Xiao Lanfeng remembered another important matter, and he said, "After we return home, let's thoroughly investigate this matter. Now, we have another important matter to do."

Hearing this, Ye Cheng was a little surprised, "What else is there? I thought you came here to find me."

Xiao Lanfeng replied, "That's right, it was true at the beginning, but later the mansion sent a letter, and Dad said in the letter that one of his subordinates committed the crime. According to reliable sources, that person is now hiding in the In this town. Dad asked us to contact the government and some important officials here to help arrest this person."

Ye Cheng was a little helpless, "It seems that the world is really small, why are everyone hiding in this town. Brother, who is the person you said daddy wanted to arrest, and should he worry about it himself?"

Xiao Lanfeng sighed, "Of course, this person is a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Officials. He cheated my father's trust, and my father promoted him to his current official position. But what I didn't expect was that he would use his position to amass money wantonly. The private pockets made Dad lose face, so Dad tried his best to catch this person and save some face."

Ye Cheng probably understands it, and Ye Cheng also knows that Prince Xiao has always valued his reputation, and now that the person he personally promoted has made such a big mistake, he will definitely feel disgraced and will inevitably get angry.

"Okay then, let's go and find this person." Ye Cheng felt embarrassed after thinking about it, "But no one knows where this person is, so how do we find it?"

Xiao Lanfeng thought for a while, raised his head and smiled at Shen Yunjin, "Miss Shen, you are a local, you know this place, can you find a way for us to find it."

Shen Yunjin was stunned for a moment, she really couldn't help, "My son, I'm just an ordinary person, no matter how much I know about this place, I can't know everything. You can't find me for things like this. You should contact the government. By the way, you You can also go to the third lady of the Ling family and the second master. The second master Ling is also an official of the court, and he is obliged to cooperate with you in finding this prisoner."

Hearing this, Ye Cheng immediately regained his spirits, "Yes, go find the second master of the Ling family, he is a high-ranking official, as long as someone from Prince Xiao's mansion speaks up, he has no choice but to help, whether it's to curry favor or under pressure. "

Back then, if Master Ling Er hadn't recognized him, he wouldn't have gone through the messy things that followed.

Therefore, this time he must cause Master Ling Er some trouble.

Finding someone within the entire town is like looking for a needle in a haystack, which will definitely give Master Ling a headache.

So Concubine Xiao accepted their advice, "Okay, let Miss Ling San go, let her go home and invite Master Ling Er."

Miss Ling San was tortured for a long time before she was finally able to regain her freedom.

When she was released, the first thing she did was to find Shen Yunjin.

She felt that Shen Yunjin was all to blame for being tortured and imprisoned in a small room without dignity.

Miss Ling San walked towards Shen Yunjin angrily, she raised her arm, and was about to slap Shen Yunjin!

Fortunately, Shen Yunjin had quick eyes and hands, and escaped in time.

Ye Cheng grabbed Miss Ling San's arm and threw her aside.

"Why are you crazy?" Ye Cheng shouted.

Miss Ling San pointed at Shen Yunjin unwillingly, "She framed me, she framed me by saying that I knew the whereabouts of Xiao Shizi, and caused me to suffer so much, shouldn't I have revenge."

Shen Yunjin snorted and said, "Come on, you are not an innocent good person, so stop complaining here! If you hadn't caught me for no reason, how would I have the chance to tell you about you? You did it wrong yourself!"

Miss Ling San felt unwilling, "What? If you hadn't had an affair with Zhou Yuanning, I would have arrested you. You really don't know shame!"

When Ye Cheng heard it, he finally couldn't help it anymore, "You are the one who has no shame, right? You come here to wrong Ms. Shen with nothing to prove, you are too annoying!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Miss Ling San shouted, "How do you know that Shen Yunjin didn't have an affair with Zhou Yuanning?"

Ye Cheng's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Because I am Mr. Zhou's lover, of course I know everything!"
