It is actually not easy to imitate the stamp on the envelope, at least the ordinary Miss Bofu should not know this thing for no reason.

But right now, probably because of Jiang Shaoyan's previous performance, although Lin Yan was surprised, he didn't think it was too weird, and even had a faint feeling of "it should be so".

It's not surprising that a talented woman can imitate a stamp.Oh, when we return to Chang'an City, we still need to pay more attention to the movements of Dongping Bo's Mansion.

Being able to imitate Yang Yan's letter in chaotic stone script that is difficult to imitate is lifelike, and naturally there is nothing wrong with the imitated seal.

Looking at the stamps on the envelope, before Lin Yan could open his mouth, the girl took out a small pot from the box that contained a lot of things, poured some dusty things into it, and waited. The stamp was almost dry and scattered on the envelope.

"Miss Jiang Si, what are you doing?" Lin Yan has never seen such a talented woman. The "Master".

"The urgent letter departing from Chang'an has to pass through several major cities. It is now the beginning of winter. It is natural to say that there is little snow here on Jiangnan Road, but there are many cities in those major cities. It is the time of winter, wind and snow. Ice, hot and cold alternately, even if this stamp was rushed by Bailijia, it would not be so intact." The girl carefully picked the dust on the stamp and said, "As long as you pass by and do things, you must will leave traces."

Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat: This Miss Jiang Si is really too meticulous, she even noticed such details that ordinary people can easily overlook, if she did something bad... Of course, this is not counted right now, in short, if Jiang Si Miss did something that he and Chongyan didn't know about, and it was not easy to catch her.

Sensing Lin Yan's particularly "concerned" gaze, Jiang Shaoyan looked up at him, but didn't pay much attention.Since he chose to do these things in front of Lin Yan, he naturally expected that he would be "focused on" early in the morning.

But this is better, just like what Ji Chongyan did just now, if it is difficult for Lin Yan to detect the problem for a while, the female family members of the Yang family will not be so easy to detect.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't do these things." Ji Chongyan watched the girl's movements, paused for a while, and then suddenly said, "The female family members of the Yang family are not so easy to find out."

"I know." The girl had expected this for a long time, but she smiled when she heard the words, and then explained after a moment of pause, "But these letters will be discovered sooner or later."

At least Yang Yanyuan will recognize the letter he wrote before he suffers from dementia.Maybe it will be a long time later, but it is always good to prepare in advance.

"He is so suspicious by nature that he will not let these letters go easily, and he will check them very seriously. In case in the future..." The girl couldn't help laughing when she said this, but her eyes were more calm than smiling, "That's okay Find him something to do."

Since he chose to attack the Yang family, sooner or later Yang Yan would have to face a hurdle that he couldn't avoid.She believes that a person's energy is limited, and it is a good thing to find something to distract Yang Yan.

It turned out that these were made for this.Are you already thinking about something that far away at this time?Ji Chongyan chuckled twice, looking at the girl who dipped a stick in water on the envelope and carefully let the letter go through the "wind and snow", her eyes were amazingly bright.

He had never met a girl who liked him so much in his life, this one in front of him was the first one, maybe also the only one.

Against the gaze of Lin Yan who was staring at the "suspect", the two chatted nonchalantly.

"I will ask Yang Yan to reply to the letter tomorrow. Mrs. Yang's Feige letter should arrive in the next two days. Leave a few days for Yang Yan to consider writing a letter from home. It will be mailed tomorrow."

"Okay," Ji Chongyan said after hearing the words, "I'll arrange the delivery of the letter when the time comes."

The girl nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

Just as he trusted her to do these things before, she was equally at ease with Xiaobaicai.

The envelope was ready, filled with the letter, and sealed with wax. After finishing all this, Jiang Shaoyan handed the letter to Ji Chongyan and said, "Okay, Mr. Ji, see if there is any problem?"

Ji Chongyan shook his head, looked at Lin Yan with a strange face with a smile, and asked, "Do you think there is a problem?"

Lin Yan: "..." Tried the intuition he had cultivated for a long time in solving cases again?

These two have been thinking about what will happen after being discovered by Yang Yan from the very beginning, and their responses are all centered around Yang Yan, so how could they not be able to fool the female family members of the Yang family?

"I don't feel anything." Lin Yan looked at the two in front of him with complicated emotions, but he still read the letter and said.

That would be great!Ji Chongyan received the letter and saw that the girl in that room was packing the box with Xiangli.

The little maid, Xiangli, was seriously asking Jiang Shaoyan about "fish" and "know".

For Xiangli, who can associate everything with "eating", Jiang Shaoyan, who is a self-proclaimed "eater", feels a little ashamed: After all, this person can feel "like a fried bill" in the morning when facing the sun above his head. The owner of the poached egg in noodles, whose face looks like a sun-dried jujube stone, it is not surprising to hear "confidante" as cicada.

It is said that fried cicadas are really delicious, but unfortunately, although Jiang Shaoyan ate a lot when she was a child, this kind of fried cicadas, cicada pupae and various "little bugs" are really not in her menu.

Thinking of a few peddlers selling chestnuts on the way from Yancheng city gate to Yamen just now, Jiang Shaoyan said: "You can buy some chestnuts to make sweet-scented osmanthus chestnuts to eat."

When I was in autumn, I bought a few cans of prepared osmanthus sauce in Gusu. It is good for making tea or making cakes.

Listening to Jiang Shaoyan's description, thinking about the taste of the sweet-scented osmanthus sauce with the aroma of chestnuts, Xiangli swallowed: the regret of not being able to eat fried cicadas disappeared in an instant: when I return from Yancheng, I must Bring more chestnuts back to make sweet-scented osmanthus chestnuts!

Lin Yanrao, who was listening on the side, boasted that he was not a glutton, and at this moment, listening to it also aroused the glutton in his belly.

At this time, I remembered that when Miss Jiang Si came back to Yancheng last time, Duan Fei was so greedy that he roasted chicken.I have to admit that what Duan Fei said is also true: the same roast chicken, how come the one around her becomes so delicious!
This osmanthus candied chestnut seems to be the same.

Ji Chongyan on the side didn't say anything, but only asked the girl after helping the girl pack the box: "Miss Jiang Si, it seems that I haven't taken you around this Yancheng yamen, do you want to go?"

Xiangli, who was thinking about sweet-scented osmanthus and chestnuts: "..." How many times have they come to this Yancheng yamen, and they even know where the yamen's huts are, and how many of them are there, do they still have to bring them specially?

What's more, the county government office in Yancheng is not much different from the one in Baoling, they look almost the same.

Jiang Shaoyan's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and he looked at Ji Chongyan for a while before responding.

Being led by Ji Chongyan, the temporary "one of the masters" of the yamen, is different from walking around the yamen by himself. Xiangli stood at the door of the yamen and watched the two walk into the prison with a little daze.

How could a person like Miss Jiang Si have such a stupid maid by her side?Lin Yan shook his head, turned around and followed into the prison.

No matter how cunning Chongyan is, he will not take his sweetheart to the prison for no reason. Naturally, there is a reason for going to the prison.

Most of the county government prisons in the Jiangnan Road generation are similarly arranged. The outer ones are used to detain ordinary prisoners, and the closer to the inner ones, the more important prisoners are.

This is especially true for the felon who killed the former county magistrate in front of him.

"His name is Zhou Fang, and he is the suspect who surrendered himself." Ji Chongyan said.

When they entered, Zhou Fang, who was eating in the prison, looked up to this side. When he saw Jiang Shaoyan next to Ji Chongyan, he couldn't help showing surprise, and asked, "Who are you?"

He is now the suspect of killing the county magistrate Chen Wanyan, oh no, the murderer.It's not surprising that people like Ji Shizi and Lin Shaoqing came to see him as a murderer and ask him questions.It's not surprising that the Fang family sisters were called to watch, after all, they were the former sufferers.It is not surprising that other officials or officials in charge of the Jiangnan Daodu Prefecture came to take a look, after all, it has something to do with it.

But it was a little strange that the girl in front of me, who seemed to have nothing to do with the officer in charge of the trial, came over.

"My surname is Jiang." The girl answered him kindly, but she tilted her head and said suddenly, "Why do you ask me who I am?"

"It's natural to ask if you don't know him. Is there anything strange?" Zhou Fang replied subconsciously.

In view of the fact that he voluntarily surrendered, and everything was very cooperative after the surrender, Zhou Fang has now been taken down from the wooden frame tied into a twist.However, there are heavy iron chains on the hands and feet, and a circle of iron chains around the waist. Although this is troublesome, it can at least walk a few steps compared to the original twisted appearance.

Right now he is sitting cross-legged on the stone bed and eating with a rice bowl.

"I heard that you have an old feud with Chen Wanyan, and because you admire Third Miss Fang, you have been staring at Chen Wanyan. I guess you checked Chen Wanyan." The girl looked at him and said, "Chen Wanyan has been in Jiangnan Dao for most of his official life. activities, anyone in Yancheng will know who is in Chen Wanyan's family."

"In addition to a husband, a concubine, and a son, he also has a daughter, who is also a fat girl who is greedy for delicious food." The girl said, "But half of this fat girl's fat is due to illness, and she has grown up since she was born." When he was five or six years old, he was sent to his ancestral home in the capital, and he was treated by an old imperial physician who retired from the imperial medical office in the capital, and he never came back for so many years."

"It's not uncommon to see a fat girl like me, but why don't you think that I am Chen Wanyan's fat daughter who is recuperating in the capital, and was brought here by Ji Shizi to see who killed her father and enemy, but why do you ask who I am?" The girl looked at Zhou Fang who stopped the chopsticks in her hand, she seemed to be just curious, "Have you even seen Chen Wanyan's daughter who was sent to the capital for medical treatment?"

How could a person who had never been in Jiangnan Road meet Chen Wanyan's daughter?You must know that Chen Wanyan's daughter was sent away when she was five or six years old.

There is a big difference between a five or six-year-old child and a fifteen or six-year-old child. It is impossible for Zhou Fang to know her.

"I... didn't think that much." After a moment of silence, Zhou Fang smiled, looked up at Jiang Shaoyan, and explained, "I've been locked up here for a long time, and I almost forgot about Chen Wanyan having a daughter. "

Is that so?The girl responded lightly, noncommittal.

Zhou Fang looked at her and asked her back: "Then who are you? Why did Prince Ji bring you to see me?"

The person in front of him was specially brought here by Shizi Ji.

"I've only been to the prison in our Baoling county government, and I've never been to the prison in Yancheng, so I came here out of curiosity." The girl explained with a smile under Zhou Fang's puzzled eyes, "I'm with Miss Fang San Fang Zhihui's second sister is a friend, and happened to know Ji Shizi, I heard that you intended to come to see you for Miss Fang San."

Hearing this, Zhou Fang couldn't help holding the spoon. After a moment of pause, he shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not for Miss Fang San, but also for myself. Years of old grievances, just happened to find an opportunity When he said these words, he lowered his eyelids, and after saying these things, he scooped up a large spoonful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing the food vaguely, and said, "These things should have been done long ago."

"How old are you now?" Seeing him swallowing his food like this, the girl asked him suddenly.

Unexpectedly, when he heard such a question, Zhou Fang scooped up the food and looked up at the girl in surprise, probably because of her friendship with Fang Zhihui. He did not keep silent, but said honestly: "33, Ji Shizi I know." Zhou Fang glanced at Ji Chongyan as he spoke.

Ji Chongyan nodded, looked at the girl who suddenly asked this sentence, and said suddenly: "Twenty years ago, he was 20 years old."

At the age of 13, he is still at the age of studying for a man from a wealthy family. Although he likes to "do more things" than ordinary men from a wealthy family, he did study and fish in the Imperial College at the age of 13.

For the peaceful and prosperous Dazhou today, 13-year-old boys from ordinary families are also studying, but they are not in the Imperial College, but in private schools and schools.

Even a child from a poor family, at the age of 13, can only simply learn to work as a servant and become an apprentice.

But this is now, 20 years ago, 13-year-old boys had reached the age of enlistment, and some of them grew tall by nature, and they could even go to the battlefield with knives and guns.

Jiang Shaoyan looked at the tall Zhou Fang and said, "Did you enlist in the army 20 years ago?"

Holding the job bowl, Zhou Fang was about to speak, but the girl who asked him if he had joined the army spoke again: "You also learned this martial art in the military middle school at that time?"

Zhou, who was about to deny it, suddenly froze: the moment he heard the girl ask this question, he was indeed ready to shake his head and deny it, but he didn't expect the girl to suddenly ask such a sentence, Zhou After hesitating for a while, Fang nodded invisibly.

Of course, the kung fu that can kill Chen Wanyan cannot be a "naturally gifted" self-taught. If he said he learned it by going to the mountains to be a bandit, he would inevitably ask what kind of bandit he is, and the answer would definitely attract a lot of attention. investigation.

There are some things that you think are safe, but when you check them, they are full of flaws.

It would be better to say that he was educated in the military camp. Around that time, many people died for unknown reasons.

The girl's next question was not surprising at all: "Who taught you kung fu, you look amazing!"

"An old master in the army taught me. I am talented and I can learn well. But he himself died in the chaos of the war." Zhou Fang said.

"You are a Taoist from the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, there were many conscripts in Jiangnan Province. Besides the imperial court, there were also many rebels." The girl continued, "But your father joined the imperial army, so it is inevitable that you will fight with your father in the future." Let’s meet, you must be recruited by the imperial court!”

Zhou Fang hesitated and nodded again, but there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart: I always felt that something was wrong with this scene.

She was asking, he was answering, that's right.But I don't know that girls are so long-winded when they talk on weekdays. After all, she has friendship with Second Miss Fang and not him. He has never met her before, so he doesn't know about it.

It doesn't matter if she is long-winded on weekdays.But if not... Zhou Fang frowned, he always felt that he was like a marionette who would jump when someone touched him, he seemed to be answering, but he seemed to be following her words Say.

This second Miss Fang's friend is really weird.

"At that time, the imperial court recruited only two troops in Jiangnan Road. One was the 'God of War' Yang Po, who lost nearly [-]% of Dajing's troops, and the other was the famous Zhao family army. Which one are you? What?" the girl asked seriously.

Zhou Fang: "..." She has said so much, what else can he say?Could it be that he was enlisted in the army of Yang Po, the "God of War" who lost nearly [-]% of Dajing's troops.

The "God of War" General Yang Po's millions of soldiers and horses were directly sent to the hands of the rebels everywhere. Even Yang Po himself was captured and killed, not to mention the soldiers who sent their heads directly.

It's just that Zhao Jiajun... the eyes of the girl who doesn't know whether it's an enemy or a friend, and Ji Chongyan behind her who is leaning there with his arms folded, who seems to be smiling but not a smile, is not the time to let himself think too much.

Zhou Fang had no choice but to take a deep breath and said, "Zhao Jiajun."

The girl will definitely ask which Zhao family army is next. If she says that Zhao family Dalang is the current emperor, then her words are very likely to be exposed.It would be fine if it was some other ordinary official standing here at this time, but the one standing here right now is the emperor's favorite minister, Ji Chongyan, the eldest son of Anguo Gong's mansion who goes in and out of the palace every day.Whether it is true or not, he will be able to expose his lies by asking His Majesty casually.

But if it is Xiaolang of the Zhao family, what should I say?Could it be that he is a deserter because he is afraid of death?Zhou Fang tightly squeezed the rice bowl in his hand, and when he was thinking about how to deal with it, the girl who had just asked him a question was forced to say "oh", then turned to Ji Chongyan behind him and said, "Senior Ji, it's not too bad. It's no wonder he's a man because of his affinity with the Zhao family, he's very upright."

Ji Chongyan responded with a smile, and said: "At first, I saw that the posture he stood when he showed me how to assassinate Chen Wanyan was a bit like the physical skills learned by Zhao's army."

Holding the job bowl, Zhou Fang's face was pale and white.

After he surrendered himself, he confessed everything very proactively, and he almost answered every question. Ji Shizi and Lin Shaoqing never deliberately made things difficult for him. Originally, he thought that his "cooperation" was enough to offset the suspicion of the two of them, but now The smiling face of Ji Shizi made Zhou Fang feel uneasy.

However, this Ji Shizi was born at that time 20 years ago, so it should be considered that he did not participate in the war.As far as I can remember, it was already prosperous and peaceful. I heard that this Ji Shizi went to the Imperial College to study like ordinary children of the rich and powerful, and had never been in the army.That being the case, why is he so familiar with Zhao Jiajun's physical skills?

This face...even if he knew it was not the same person, not to mention that the person in front of him had a completely different feeling from General Zhao, but at this moment he still seemed to see another person faintly through Ji Chongyan in front of him.

This face doesn't look like an expert in martial arts, but General Zhao with such a face is an extremely powerful general in the army who is always victorious in the arena with tens of thousands of people.

General Zhao could be such a person, so is it possible that the one in front of him... Zhou Fang grasped the job bowl in his hand, his expression condensed slightly.If he is really such a person, then he must have a very good understanding of the affairs in the army. If so, it may not be easy to deceive him.

Now that he knew that he was from the Zhao family army, he didn't ask any more questions.Zhou Fang became more and more uneasy.

The two of them seemed to just come over to take a look, and left after asking these questions.Even when he was leaving, that Prince Ji said kindly to him: "It's cold and the rice gets cold quickly, so eat it earlier!"

Zhou Fang's food suddenly lost its taste for some reason.

Just after walking out of Yancheng Prison, Xiangli, who was waiting outside, happily hugged a large chestnut wrapped in oil paper and said to Jiang Shaoyan: "Miss, Ji Shizi asked that Lu to buy the chestnuts!"

She, Xiangli, is still very smart, this one named Lu can even beat that heir named Duan Fei, she is a stubborn person, it is no wonder that such a person would think of buying chestnuts.

Therefore, it can only be bought by Lu who was asked by Ji Shizi. He really deserves to be the best son-in-law she fancyes.

"I also like to eat chestnuts." Before Jiang Shaoyan could speak, Ji Chongyan explained with a smile.

The effect of this explanation is much better than no explanation. After all, Miss Jiang Si who Chongyan is facing is not Xiangli's stubborn maid, haven't you seen Miss Jiang Si's clear expression?

Lin Yan glanced at Ji Chongyan: Chongyan usually doesn't know what to do, but when he does, he is... so powerful and full of tricks!
Jiang Shaoyan didn't stay long in Yancheng this time, and left with the chestnuts that Ji Chongyan asked to buy.

Ji Chongyan, who is "fulfilling the friendship of the landlord", must insist that he is Miss Jiang Si who came in from the gate of the city, so he must send Miss Jiang Si outside the gate of Yancheng.

Watching the familiar carriage leave in a hurry, gradually shrinking in the field of vision, until it turned into a black spot and could no longer be seen, Ji Chongyan looked away.

Lin Yan, who was following at the side, was about to speak, but Ji Chongyan had already spoken one step ahead of him: "De Lu," he said, taking out a letter from his arms and handing it to Lu, and said, "Go to Jiangnan Daodu Mansion for me to help me Send a letter."

Lu took the letter and left in response.

After seeing off Lu again, he finally had a chance to speak.Lin Yan hurriedly asked Ji Chongyan: "When did you write this letter and what is it for?"

Since Miss Jiang Si came, it seems that Chongyan has not had the opportunity to write a letter yet!
"I wrote it when I first saw Duan Fei." Ji Chongyan said, looking in the direction of Baoling City, his gaze was slightly heavy, "I heard that Duan Fei forcibly lived in Jiang's house under the pretext of having no place to live. I think this place is not suitable for him, so I want to help him change one!"
