Chapter 244 Boiled Pork Slices (5)

"Because Miss Yuan San has been taking medicines and decoctions all year round, her maids also have the smell of herbs, so that even the clerks in the inn have been impressed by it!" The guard who was following them stood in front of the two people. Talking about what he saw during these days of surveillance, "They haven't done anything these days. Even the herbs are brought from Jiangling! They eat and live in the inn, except for going out to send letters home!"

"The clerk said that they have been sending a lot of letters to the inn these days. In addition to the fact that the maids who come to send letters always smell of herbs, what is even more strange to them is that the address to which these letters are sent is actually in In Chang'an City!" the officer said, "Although they have not seen letters waiting to be posted in the city, there are very few of them. After all, it is not as fast as looking for letters to be sent to Chang'an City by going to the inn! This is only done when men and women who are deeply in love with each other send love letters and there is no one to help deliver them!"

"But love letters are not sent so frequently. Sometimes there are as many as five or six in a day!" When the officer said this, he looked a little strange when he thought of the expression of the inn clerk. Just facing Lin Fei and Liu Yuan still coughed and continued, "The little official said that there is probably only one possibility in this situation, that is, the person who sent the letter must be a romantic person. He sent it to many people, and he stepped on several boats. Seeing that the address on the letter was changing, they concluded that this must be the case, and thus left an impression on the maid who smelled of herbal medicine!"

"According to the clerk, the maids started sending letters long before the Mid-Autumn Festival," the officer said. "Counting the days, after the Yuan family brothers and sisters came to Chang'an, Miss Yuan San began to send letters home!"

"Most of the time, letters home are sent away, and only two letters are returned!" When the guard said this, his expression became serious, "I heard that when the letter was delivered by the messenger, there was a rental sign outside the house. , I found out after I inquired that the person had moved away!"

As the officer spoke, he lowered his head and looked at the two letters that were returned. The address on them made him shudder: "Isn't that the address where Genjiro hired someone to replace him?"

After Yuan Erlang was captured and interrogated about the matter that day, they searched for him, but in vain. After asking, they found out that those people were renting a house, and they moved out.

"The little official wanted to tell the maid about the rejection of the two letters, but every time the maid left the letter and the money and ran away!" the officer said, "one time the little official wanted to stop the maid. When the maid was talking about the letter from home, the maid ran quickly and replied from a distance, telling him to send the letter back to Jiangling properly. Don't ask any more questions! The clerk looked at the address of Chang'an City on the letter. , dumbfounded, and then realized that this maid is illiterate and thinks she is running errands for others!"

"But the clerk doesn't think it's strange. It's very common for young ladies to send love letters without telling their families. If you look for illiterate maids to run errands, you don't have to worry about leaking secrets!" the guard said, "The post station is busy with things. He threw the letter aside, and I didn’t remember it until I looked for it!”

The two returned letters had been picked out at this time. Liu Yuan looked at Lin Fei: "Lin Shaoqing?"

Lin Fei said "Hmm", opened one of the letters, took a look at it, and said: "It's an acrostic poem! This one is 'Yuan Er was arrested'!"

Liu Yuan quickly picked up the remaining letter. After opening it, he was surprised: "This letter says 'business as usual'!"

The words "Yuan Er was arrested, everything is business as usual" really make people tremble all over! Who would have thought that the frail Miss Yuan San was actually one of the culprits behind the scenes?

…

…

The interrogation in the hall reached a stalemate. Bai Zhu and Miss Yuan looked at each other with calm expressions.

Both sides know what the other is thinking, but there is no evidence.

At this moment, Lin Fei and Liu Yuan walked in from outside and threw the two returned letters directly in front of Miss Yuan San.

A moment of panic flashed across Miss Yuan San's indifferent face. Before she could speak, Liu Yuan said: "No need to quibble, it's an acrostic poem! Yuan Er has been arrested, everything is business as usual!"

What "Yuan Er is arrested, everything is business as usual"? A look of astonishment flashed across the faces of the two maids kneeling on the ground!

Although they were illiterate, after sending letters for so long, the two maids at least knew that these two letters were sent by them.

Didn’t the lady say that the letter was sent home to Jiangling? Why does it say "Second Young Master was arrested" here? And what does “business as usual” mean?

The pale and frail face that was so familiar in the past suddenly became unfamiliar.

"Miss..." The two maids opened their mouths and murmured.

Looking at the letter thrown in front of her, Miss Yuan San lowered her eyelids. After a while, she raised her eyes again and looked at the people.

"When did you doubt me?" The smile on his face was calm and indifferent, and he didn't even bother to look at the maid who had grown up with him since childhood.

Miss Yuan San hugged the heater and said, "I pride myself on being good at pretending. For so many years, no one in my clan has ever doubted me. How did you find out?"

"How did you find out?" Lin Fei repeated her words, moved his feet, walked to her in three steps, and then...suddenly reached out and lifted her hand through the thick coat. got up.

The sleeves of the autumn shirt under the big coat slipped down, exposing a small section of his arm.

The dense red dots on the plain white arms made people feel a little scared.

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu couldn't help but were stunned. The two maids were about to speak, but they heard Lin Fei speak first: "It's prickly heat! It's caused by covering it up!"

This Miss Yuan San is not as afraid of the cold as she appears!

As soon as these words came out, the two maids cried out in shock: "How is it possible, doctor... miss... obviously..."

Looking at the two maids who were shocked and incoherent, Lin Fei retracted his hand and said calmly: "She was indeed born with a disease, but she was pretending to be 80% sick!"

Faced with everyone's astonishment, Miss Yuan San lowered her head and let out a soft cry. She slowly put down the heater in her hands, untied her heavy coat, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she threw both coats aside. Wiping his sweaty neck from the heat, he said, "It's really hot today wearing these two big coats!"

As she said that, she raised her head and looked at Lin Fei: "Lin Shaoqing is really powerful, do you know why I do this?"

Is this... Bai Zhu thought of what she said before and hurriedly said: "You hate the Yuan family and think that the illness you were born with is caused by them!"

Hearing this, Miss Yuan San chuckled, nodded and said, "I do hate them, but not just for this reason!"

What else is the reason? Everyone was puzzled.

Lin Fei glanced at her and said calmly: "If it were just for that reason, you would only create trouble within the Yuan family and make life extremely difficult for everyone else..."

This is the case for some people in this world. If they are not living well, they must make others live even worse in order to comply with her wishes.

"But after the marriage to Mr. Jiang from Qiandengpu was canceled, you changed your mind. You feel that making trouble within the Yuan family is not enough!" Lin Fei said.
