Chapter 058 The Lan Family Comes to the Door
Mo Beiyuan sat next to Feng Aoqing.
An Jinge told him that Feng Aoqing had just drunk a bowl of life-extending medicine, and the medicinal materials used were of the best quality, all taken care of by the He family.
"I've been holding his pulse. It's calmer now and the sweating has stopped, but he's not awake yet," An Jinge said again.
"Thanks to you, I will remember your kindness." Mo Beiyuan said gratefully.
"Master Mo, what are you talking about? Your wife gave me my life. This little thing is nothing. I will go and guard outside."
"Thank you." Mo Beiyuan nodded.
Mo Beiyuan changed his clothes in the house, his eyes never leaving Feng Aoqing.
"It's all because of me. I've hurt you. I will definitely save you." Mo Beiyuan said, holding her hand.
An Jinge was playing with chains on the roof at the moment. Suddenly, she flew down from the house and landed in front of Mo Nanzhou who was about to go out, scaring him.
"Go back to the house and lock the door!" she shouted.
Before Mo Nanzhou could react, An Jinge pushed him hard on the chest.
This palm strike used internal force, and he retreated several steps, and only stopped when he bumped into Mo Mingyuan who came to meet him.
"Rude! Really rude! You can't even say it, but you have to resort to violence!" Mo Nanzhou cursed in a low voice while rubbing his chest.
"Young Master Ren'an told you to go back to the room, but you were busy looking at the beautiful face and didn't respond for a long time. Who else should I push if not you?!" Mo Mingyuan said with a smile.
An Jinge had already arrived in front of Wei Ze. After a brief exchange between them, she used her lightness skills to return to her room and closed the door.
"Everyone go back inside! Close the door!" Wei Ze yelled at the people sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air.
Mo Beiyuan walked to the window and saw that it was Lan Wensong, the eldest son of the Lan family's patriarch and Lan Wenbai's elder brother.
He was accompanied by three constables and a group of Lan family warriors.
It turned out that An Jinge saw these three constables and was afraid that they were here to investigate. If they saw that the Mo family did not have locks on their belongings and were still walking around, they would be in trouble.
"This is where exiled serious criminals are held. Who are you? What are you doing here?" Wei Ze asked knowingly.
"Are you the head escort?" Lan Wensong asked sternly.
"Our boss went to see the city governor." Wei Ze brought He Wenzhang out.
"You're just a mere escort, and you dare to shout here! Don't you see where you are?!" Lan Wensong took a step forward and looked Wei Ze up and down.
"What is this place? An official post station, a government residence." Wei Ze sneered.
Jiang Yi is not here, and Wei Ze wants to protect the Mo family. The momentum is completely different.
Lan Wensong was stunned when he heard this. He remembered that the official post station was next door.
He didn't know that He Wenzhang had already hung a plaque with the words "Official Post Branch" at the door, but the few people were so busy rushing in that they didn't even look at it.
One of Lan Wensong's military servants seemed to have seen it, so he leaned over and whispered in his ear.
Although the Lan family has produced many civil servants, Lan Wensong does not hold any official position. As he is the eldest son of the Lan family and the future head of the family, he naturally cannot go out to be an official.
Therefore, no matter how rich he is, he still cannot compare to the word "official".
Lan Wensong gritted his teeth and looked at the constables behind him. They were officials' family members, so that made things different.
He began to feel fortunate that he had found these people. Although the prison belonged to the He family, they had bribed several constables and captains in order to facilitate their work.
"We are here to investigate a case!" A constable understood and took over.
"Where is the lord's order?" Wei Ze was a constable in the capital, and he had military merits. His official position was much higher than the chief constable in the city.
Moreover, he became a constable only to facilitate his work for Mo Beiyuan and the princess.
At this time, Chen Hetong and Yu Bang saw Wei Ze being besieged alone, so they came to help. Both of them were tall and strong, and their momentum was also not bad.
"You are a bailiff, and you dare to ask me for my order?!" The constable was annoyed.
"Let's not talk about how many levels higher I am than you. If you don't kneel and kowtow when you see me, it's a capital offense. Even if you want to investigate, we will definitely cooperate, but we are not under your jurisdiction. If you want to investigate, you naturally need the order of the city guard."
"We all have to respect Captain Wei. Captain Wei has military merits. He will be promoted after this trip." Chen Hetong looked at the other party with disdain and introduced him, pointing his finger to the sky.
Upon hearing this, the man quickly performed the prison salute and said, "Captain Wei, this isn't really an investigation. I'm just asking questions."
"What's the matter?"
"Last night, the Lan family's storehouse was robbed, and four other families were also robbed at the same time, so we came to see where these outsiders live..."
"You mean to say that the eight of us escorts are both escorting prisoners and thieves at the same time?"
"How is that possible? That's not what we meant." The three detectives answered in unison.
"Then there is nothing to investigate. Our prisoners are shackled and locked, and they haven't even left the room. How could they steal?" Chen Hetong interrupted.
"This..." The three detectives thought about it and it made sense.
"We'll know if it's true once we investigate! Maybe you and the He family teamed up to transport everything in my warehouse under the guise of an exile! You have documents for entering and leaving Yanzhou!"
Lan Wensong is not stupid.
"I said, I'm not forbidding you to investigate. Bring me Lord He's order." Wei Ze refused to give in.
Wei Ze knew that the two of them went out last night, and he was afraid that there really was some action related to the Lan family, and that there was really something in the backyard, so he had to stop them.
"Huh~! Why do I feel that our Yangping constables listen to this... businessman?" Yu Bang said sarcastically at the right time.
The three constables looked at each other and didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore.
Just as he was thinking of finding a staircase to go down, Mo Beiyuan coughed lightly in the room.
Wei Ze looked towards the room where he was. He was sitting under the window and nodded slightly at Wei Ze.
Wei Ze understood what was going on and said, "This is a major case, so go ahead and investigate! But I need to complete the formalities, or I won't be able to explain myself to the boss. I thought the prison in Yangping was bullying us!"
"No, no, I must complete the formalities."
The three of them entered the yard.
"Come and help my people! Hurry up!" Lan Wensong waved to his men, and they also entered the backyard.
I left two to check in the front yard.
Lan Wensong winked at them, and the two of them headed towards Mo Beiyuan's room.
Just as he was about to push the door, Mo Beiyuan opened it.
Originally, this play was meant for Feng Aoqing to watch to ease the boredom of her journey, but now, the person who wanted to watch it fell ill.
Mo Beiyuan was preoccupied with her illness and had no intention of getting entangled.
He looked at Lan Wensong with a stern face and said, "Master Lan, my wife is ill. I will examine her for you, but if you disturb her, I will not forgive you."
The two men entered the room. In fact, they looked around the room and saw that the bed was empty. Even the bottom of the bed was clearly visible and there was nothing there.
However, these two people didn't know Mo Beiyuan and didn't listen to what he said.
The two men walked to the bed and wanted to reach out to lift Feng Aoqing's quilt.
