Jin Rui still frowned, nodded slightly, and watched Wen Chen and Lan Ying'er get on their horses, turn slowly up the street and disappeared, and then turned back to the house.

On the dark street, Lan Ying'er walked side by side with Wen Chen, she looked at Wen Chen thoughtfully, and said, "Master Jin seems to have something to tell you."

Wen Chen nodded: "I feel it too."

Lan Yinger: "Where are we going now?"

Wen Chen: "Are you hungry! Go to the restaurant to fill your stomach first."

"Where is the restaurant?"

"Naturally, it's the Blue Lady Restaurant."

There are three small square tables in Lan Girl restaurant, two of which are sitting four prisoners, each of them has a bowl of beef noodles, on the table is a plate of stir-fried chicken offal with pickled cabbage heart, and a plate of green vegetables.Lan Yinger and Wen Chen were sitting at the other table. The two dishes on the table were the same as those at the two tables, but the portions were slightly smaller. They also each had a bowl of beef noodles.

Except for the beef noodles, Lan Yinger made two dishes.

Originally, Wen Chen felt sorry for Lan Ying'er and would not let her do it, but she didn't find it troublesome, and quickly cooked two dishes and served them on separate plates.

After eating and drinking enough, they naturally set off to find the next suspect.

In the direction of the imperial city, there are only two streets between Mr. Zhang on Huangnigang Street and Mr. Gao on Sipailou. Huangnigang is on the way, so he goes to Zhangfu first.

On the way, Tian Ke, the head catcher, talked about Mr. Zhang: "This man has dozens of certificates in the government office, and they are all piled up into a hill. There are all kinds of murderers, and the governor does not dare to touch him."

Wen Chen frowned, naturally he knew the reason, he didn't say much, but suddenly reined in the horse rope, and said coldly: "Come out."

Lan Ying'er reined in her horse in a hurry, and looked around. She didn't find anyone in the dark and quiet street.

The arresters stopped and looked around.

Wen Chen then said coldly: "If you don't come out again, don't blame me for making a move. If it hurts you, or even accidentally took your life, don't blame me."

"Officer, Lord, the little one, the little one has come out."

Lan Ying'er and the four guards followed the sound and saw a person coming out of a dark alley on the right hand side, it was so dark that they couldn't see clearly.

A catcher came forward with a lamp and pulled him out from the dark alley. Under the lamp, one could see that he was wearing a tight-fitting blouse, like a servant of a certain family.

The arrester asked: "Tell me, who are you? What are you doing here?"

The man hurriedly knelt down on the ground, trembling with fright: "Young one, the young one is a servant of the Zhang family, and the young one is..."

The arresting officer greeted him with a kick, and scolded: "Quickly explain clearly."

The man said in a tearful tone, "The younger one was arranged by the eldest son to go to Biyun Temple to see the situation."

Hearing this, the arrester said immediately: "Could it be that your eldest son raped and killed Miss Diewu?"

The man hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, my eldest son heard that Miss Die Wu was killed, and he didn't have time to go see it himself, so he sent the younger one to see it. Later, the younger one sent a letter back saying that Jin Yiwei had come forward, and Mr. Wen went to investigate After leaving the Jin family, the eldest son asked the younger one to come out and stare at you."

The arrester said: "It must be your eldest son who has a guilty conscience and is afraid of being found by the government."

The man hurriedly waved his hands again: "No, no, my eldest son... he..." He couldn't speak for a while, so he had to bury his head on the ground.

Wen Chen said coldly: "Let him take the lead and take us to Zhang's house."

The catcher kicked again: "Quickly get up and lead the way."

This black light is blind, and he is worried about going to the wrong door!

The man hurriedly got up from the ground, and ran forward with trembling legs.

When they arrived at the Zhang Mansion, the servant knocked on the door, and the guard inside poked his head out and asked, "Has the Jin Yiwei captured Jin Kun?"

The servant didn't speak, just stood aside silently, and then the guards stepped forward and slammed open the door.

"Who is this? How dare you break into my official residence at night?"

Just as Wen Chen expected, it was Master Xuanban, the chief historian of the Southern Palace.

Zhang Changgui, the eldest son of the Zhang family, is Ban Xuan's nephew.

If you want to talk about Zhang Changgui, you have to talk about Ban Xuan's life experience first.

When he was still a prince today, Ban Xuan's father was the chief historian of the palace. When Ban Xuan was a child, he had a similar temperament with the Southern King Chu Qianyu, so he became Chu Qianyu's companion. Later, he became the emperor. Xuan's father passed away, and Ban Xuan took over his father's position as the chief historian of the Nanwangfu.

Ban Xuan has a elder sister who is 17 years older than him.Therefore, Ban Xuan is 29 years old this year, and Zhang Changgui, the eldest sister's son, is only one year younger than Ban Xuan.

Banxuan's eldest sister's family moved from Yanjing to Jinling together with Ban Xuan after she ascended the throne in Jinling. Both parents are not alive, so they regard this mansion as their own home, and usually take care of the elder sister's family.

It's just that Zhang Changgui is not up to date, relying on his uncle being the king of Nan, he is ignorant and idle all day long, visiting flower houses, molesting women in private houses, seeking troubles, and calling his elder brother on the street to collect protection money. He does all kinds of evil, and the surrounding area is called "Elder Prince".This big character not only means that he is the eldest in the family, but also that he is called the eldest in this area.

And Wen Chen knew very well that the details of the Zhang family were much more than that, and just as the captor Tian Ke said just now, the complaints against Zhang Changgui were piled up into a hill, and some even raped and killed people.

But he understood that Zhang Changgui couldn't investigate carefully.At least for now, it cannot be checked in detail.

Wen Chen and Lan Ying'er walked into Zhang's gate together.

Lan Yinger smiled at Ban Xuan: "Master Ban, we met so soon."

It's not easy to slap someone on the face with a smile on his face.

Because of the Shenqiying case, Ban Xuan had a particularly good impression of Lan Yinger, and hurriedly said with a smile: "So it's Wen Qianhu and Miss Lan. It's really rare that we meet again so soon."

Wen Chen's expression was light: "Master Ban, a nun died in Biyun nunnery. She was Diewu girl from the former Jiaofang Division. Zhang Changgui often went to Biyun nunnery and had a lot of encounters with Diewu girl, so we came to find Zhang Changgui. Ask something."

Ban Xuan frowned: "I've heard about it. That girl is really pitiful. Although she couldn't help herself in the Jiaofang Division, she ate and drank anyway, and was praised by others. This is great. She became a monk. For a nun, but even his little life is gone."

Wen Chen was too lazy to talk to him about this, and just asked: "Master Ban, is your nephew Zhang Changgui in the residence?"

Ban Xuan knew that this matter could not be avoided, and the more he hid, the more suspicious he became, so he said: "The Nanwang Mansion was very busy at first, but when I heard about it today, I immediately went home and questioned my parents, worried if it was his fault. He didn't, he got together with a few friends at dinner yesterday, and then went to Wanhua Building, rested there for a night, and just came back this morning." He said with a smile, turned around and shouted loudly at the inner courtyard, "Stinky boy, Why don't you come out sooner, do you have to let Wen Qianhu arrest you and send you to prison for interrogation?"

Wen Chen watched a person wandering out of the room, walking sullenly, as if he didn't wake up, obviously stayed up all night last night.

Lan Ying'er was shocked when she found several scratch marks on this person's face.

"Uncle, I stayed in the Wanhua Building last night, and I didn't do anything wrong, why should I be arrested and sent to jail?"

Zhang Changgui is of medium height, moderately fat and thin, with a pair of wooden clogs on tiptoe, and a pair of undershirts on his body. He is looking at Wen Chen with disdain, and when he looks at Lan Yinger, his eyes are in the socket Turned around a few times.

"Whether you have committed a crime or not, then you have to make it clear to Mr. Wen, and you must not be perfunctory." After Ban Xuan said, he turned to look at Wen Chen, turned his body slightly, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Mr. Wen, please come inside."

Wen Chen was also polite, and walked inside with Lan Yinger and a few arresters.

Zhang Changgui was still obedient, and Ban Xuan kicked him: "If you don't go in yet, Master Wen will ask you something later, so you can say what you want."

Listening to Ban Xuan's tone of voice, Lan Ying'er turned her head to look at Ban Xuan, seeing that Ban Xuan's eyes were squinting to imply Zhang Changgui, she frowned slightly.

In the hall, Ban Xuan wanted to invite tea, but Wen Chen said, "No need, we are here to ask questions, not to drink tea." After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Changgui, "Zhang Changgui, between Xushi last night and Maoshi today, you Where is the person?"

Zhang Changgui frowned, and said impatiently: "Just now I said it's in Wanhualou, if you don't believe me, you can check it out."

Wen Chen: "Which girl did you find last night?"

After Zhang Changgui yawned, he said leisurely: "That girl's name is very strange, it seems to be papaya, haha, the name is quite ordinary, but she looks very handsome, and her slender waist..." The palm of her hand made a touch Gesture, "And the big breasts, tsk tsk, soft, protruding like an oversized steamed bun, it's really refreshing, hahaha..."

Listening to these words, Lan Ying'er felt extremely uncomfortable, thinking that Zhang Changgui was obviously a lustful apprentice.

Ban Xuan also scolded angrily: "Changgui, Mr. Wen is a Jinyiwei, so please straighten your tongue when you speak, be more serious, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Changgui looked at Ban Xuan: "That's right!"

Lan Yinger saw Ban Xuan scolding her nephew, but her expression was not serious. She understood that this was not a real scolding, but just a play.

Wen Chen said coldly: "As far as I know, that papaya girl has a thin waist, but her body is also thin, nothing stands out."

As soon as the words came out, a catcher behind him couldn't help laughing, "I know that, the papaya girl is indeed flat-chested, not to mention the super-sized steamed buns, she doesn't even count as a small steamed stuffed bun."

Zhang Changgui was tongue-tied: "Qing, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it okay?" After speaking, he glanced at a servant standing beside him, and glared angrily.

Wen Chen and Lan Yinger saw this detail in their eyes at the same time.

Ban Xuan's face was obviously dark.

Wen Chen knew that Zhang Changgui couldn't get any truth out of his mouth, so he said to Ban Xuan: "Master Ban, we need to search Zhang Changgui's courtyard next, please help me!"

Lan Ying'er thought that Ban Xuan would refuse, but unexpectedly, Ban Xuan pointed to Zhang Changgui's courtyard and said, "Master Wen, please feel free!"

Wen Chen cupped his hands silently, and walked towards Zhang Changgui's wing.

Lan Yinger wanted to go too, but Ban Xuan left her in the hall to drink tea.

When Ban Xuanxian talked about the Tatar tribe, Lan Yinger just agreed with embarrassment, she is not used to being courteous with officials and family members.

Fortunately, after about a stick of incense, Wen Chen walked over and bid farewell to Ban.
