The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 785 Give Double

So I asked without rushing.

Lan Zhijin didn't know why, but his eyes seemed to be glued to Huang Jing, never leaving Huang Jing's pretty face, waiting for Huang Jing to ask him questions.

In fact, he was too curious about what the problem was that caused her to deal the cards in such an unconventional way today.

Unexpectedly, although Huang Jing was a bit playful, he was actually quite serious when he was serious. He was so reliable that Tong Yu was relieved, leaving Li Yaoshen and Lan Zhijin waiting in vain.

Then, Li Yaoshen took the initiative to leave first.

After all, the other person has so obviously expressed that he doesn't want to say it in front of him. If he doesn't know his place, I'm afraid that after Miss Meng finds out, she will look at him with some disgust in the future.

If he were in his shoes, and someone came to interfere with his business, he would definitely not be able to give that person a good face.

Considering that she is very likely to become the wife of his cousin, the prince, if she really develops a dislike for him, it can directly affect the cousin's opinion of him, which is no small matter.

It’s better to take it easy.

Take your time. When my sister goes to ask Miss Meng, Miss Meng will definitely tell my sister the truth. Then when he asks my sister again, he will know the answer.

As soon as Li Yaoshen left, Tongyu was waiting on the side. Huang Jing immediately turned to Lan Zhijin and said, "Tell me, the person who invited you to this house to perform a ritual to save the soul, what else did they ask you to do?"

"Is that what you want to ask?" Lan Zhijin was a little incredulous. "Just for this, you rushed at me and beat me to death?"

By the end of his speech, his handsome face was almost twisted with anger.

"Just ask this." Huang Jing nodded a little embarrassedly, and then waited eagerly for Lan Zhijin's answer.

Lan Zhijin gnashed his teeth and replied, "I also asked if there was anything strange about the deaths of other guests besides Mr. Jin!"

"then you……"

“Strange!”

Huang Jing heard Lan Zhijin's answer and looked back at Tongyu. Tongyu didn't respond, so she turned back again: "What's so strange?"

"The locust tree branch piercing the heart and burning into charcoal are both very strange." Lan Zhijin said as he glanced at Tongyu. This little girl looked unfamiliar to him. She was not very old and was dressed like a maid from a noble family. As he looked at her, he asked, "Who is her master?"

Fang Gang is the noble Prince Jing, so could this maid’s master be another wealthy young man from an aristocratic family?
"Meng Liangchen, the eldest granddaughter of Meng Tianguan and the eldest lady of the Meng family." Huang Jing still wanted Lan Zhijin to know everything, so of course he answered Lan Zhijin's questions as much as possible. After all, Meng Shisan's identity was nothing to hide. "Now, I live in the Meng family, living in the same yard with the eldest lady Meng."

Hearing Qingmei's revelation, Lan Zhijin was stunned: "You are still living in the Meng Mansion?"

Meng Tianguan was in the residence of Minister Meng. He had heard of his famous name since he entered the capital.

It couldn't be clearer.

"Hmm!" Huang Jing continued to ask about the main issue. With her understanding of Lan Zhijin's obsession with killing monsters, she guessed his answer, "You have seen the locust tree branch and found out that it is abnormal? And the corpse that was burned to charcoal, did you find anything unusual?"

Tongyu pricked up her ears and listened carefully, as she had to go back and report.

Even if Miss Huang explains the strange things to the young lady in detail, there is no guarantee that Miss Huang will miss something. If she listens carefully, she will be able to add to it when the time comes.

Lan Zhijin was invited by Li Heng to perform a ritual in his private residence, and during the period he was accompanied by Li Heng's trusted guard Bei Yan. Regardless of the ritual he performed or the identification he was going to make next, they were all within the scope of what he should report truthfully to Li Heng.

He didn't want to fight Qingmei to the point of life and death, so he admitted defeat in the fight. This was really helpless. He could answer the questions Qingmei asked him truthfully, but only to Qingmei, and not in front of outsiders and maids.

So he fell silent.

At this time, after waiting for Lan Zhijin to return to his private residence for a long time, Pei Yan walked towards the carriage of the Meng Mansion.

From the fight between Yu Lanzhijin and Huang Jing, he could also tell that the two knew each other. Under this circumstance, he thought that the two just needed some space to reminisce about the past. Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the private residence, he saw Li Yaoshen and the Meng family's carriage.

He didn't recognize Tong Yu, but he didn't need to recognize her. Just by seeing the carriage of the Meng Mansion, he could guess the identity of Tong Yu's master.

Huang Jing glanced at Lan Zhijin and said quickly, "How much did the Second Prince pay for you? I will pay you double!"

"Double?" Lan Zhijin sneered. It was not that he wanted to look down on Huang Jing on purpose, but Huang Jing was actually poorer than him.

Huang Jing was irritated by the sneer, and blurted out the truth instantly: "I don't have it, but Miss Meng does!"

Although she was excited, she did not forget to lower her voice by an octave so that Mi Yan would not hear it.

Lan Zhijin was amused by Huang Jing's rough yet delicate behavior. The next moment, he changed his mind and thought, it doesn't matter who gives him the money or who invites him. Besides, he can still do Qingmei a favor, which he thinks is worth it.

"Then you still owe me a favor."

"You took advantage of the situation!"

"In fact, you don't need too much silver, just enough is enough."

"……make a deal!"

So Pei Yan walked up to the two of them, and they were already reaching an agreement.

"Master Lan." Mei Yan respected Lan Zhijin very much, mainly because there were too few mages with real skills in the Great Wei. His Highness had warned him to treat the one in front of him well.

"The ritual has been completed." said Lan Zhijin.

Mi Yan said: "I know, I just want to ask Master Lan about the situation of those corpses."

Lan Zhijin had received half of Li Heng's money after all, and he couldn't ignore Pei Yan's request, which was to promise Qingmei not to tell the truth, so he turned his head to Huang Jing and said, "I'll be back soon."

"Okay." Huang Jing nodded.

Lan Zhijin really came back soon, and in a short while, he returned to the Meng Mansion's carriage.

And Mei Yan also strode out of the private residence, climbed onto the horse prepared by the steward of the private residence, and galloped all the way to the palace gate.

Huang Jing watched Lan Zhijin's horse running farther and farther away, and asked Lan Zhijin: "You didn't say anything nonsense, did you?"

"What do you mean by nonsense? I never talk nonsense." He was just telling a lie.

Huang Jing looked at Lan Zhijin with a look that said, "I don't know you yet." After being looked at for a few breaths, Lan Zhijin raised his hands in surrender and said, "No, I want to make double the money."

"I heard that they paid you half of your hard work fee first?" While Huang Jing was waiting for Lan Zhijin to deal with Pei Yan, she was not idle either, and she found out a lot of things around her.

Lan Zhijin was not surprised that Huang Jing knew about this. After all, when Bei Yan gave him half of the silver, he did not hide from others and gave it to them in the street outside the gate, attracting everyone's attention. "Then I also worked hard to perform the ritual."
