Chapter 224 Acting, they are all movie kings!
Ran Qingxuan shrilled his voice and walked forward to open the door.
The leading officer pushed the door open with a bang, and the officers following behind him entered one after another with swords in their hands.
"Why did you take so long to knock on the door?"
The leader looked at Ran Qingxuan, unfolded the portrait in his hand and began to examine it again and again.
Ran Qingxuan pretended to be aggrieved and raised his eyebrows.
"Sir, this little woman is not reacting!"
Qu Feng felt nauseous seeing the pretentious look, and he couldn't help but pouting while standing in the corridor.
The chief of the police didn't care about her explanation and said in a cold voice: "The government is investigating the case. Call everyone in your house out. We are going to conduct a search."
"Okay, sir, please sit down and take a rest. I'll go get someone."
As she said that, Ran Qingxuan turned around, but she didn't expect the chief officer to immediately draw his sword and block in front of her. Ran Qingxuan screamed at the right time and almost fell to the ground.
"What do you mean, sir? Aren't you going to call someone?"
The chief constable had a look of suspicion on his face. After glancing around, his gaze returned to her.
"Why don't you have any maids or servants in your house?"
Ran Qingxuan was afraid of revealing his flaws, and after he reacted, he quickly put on a look of disgust and looked at Gu Yanchen who was sitting in the main hall with his shoulders shrugged.
"It's all my bad luck. Not only did I marry a sickly woman, but I also dreamed of passing the imperial examination all day long."
"What are you doing sitting there, you idiot? Go to the west courtyard and call for help."
"Madam, don't be angry. I'll go right away..."
Gu Yanchen showed an expression of anger but dared not speak out, then stood up and walked towards the backyard.
The officers looked at his leaving back with contempt, probably because it was the first time they had seen such a "useless" man.
The chief officer curled his lips and glanced at Qu Feng standing in the corridor.
"Who are you? Come forward and talk!"
Without waiting for Qu Feng to answer, Ran Qingxuan twisted his waist and went forward.
"Sir, this is my brother. He came to visit me when he had nothing to do."
Ran Qingxuan's actions, coupled with her tone, would make anyone think there was something fishy going on between the two of them.
Qu Feng instantly understood what she meant, and the smile on his face became more and more obscene.
The chief of the police stood there in astonishment, even forgetting what he was doing there.
Seeing the two people's eyes constantly pulling at each other, the disgusted person unfolded another portrait in his hand with a cold face, and it was Gu Yanchen who had dressed up yesterday.
Seeing that he was not, the chief officer said in annoyance: "Leave immediately, all outsiders, and do not hinder our search."
"Sure, sure."
Qu Feng smiled nonchalantly, took out fifty taels of silver from his arms and put it in Ran Qingxuan's hand, and even took the opportunity to rub it.
"Good sister, give this money to your brother-in-law for medical treatment!"
Ran Qingxuan threw Qu Feng a seductive look, and hit him on the chest with the handkerchief at the right moment.
"The officials are doing their work today, and I am sorry for not serving you well. Please come back next time."
Qu Feng smiled smugly, and even pulled up his pants when he walked to the door...
Since he was not carrying anyone on his back, the officers standing nearby saw it clearly. Combined with Ran Qingxuan's nostalgic look, their eyes changed instantly.
The murmuring sounds could be heard everywhere, but Ran Qingxuan pretended not to hear them and just stared at Qu Feng's back as he left.
Just at this time Gu Yanchen called Lu Liehu and others over. Seeing that Qu Feng was not in the yard, he asked in a low voice.
"Madam, why don't you see my eldest brother? Didn't he say he would stay at our house for a few nights?"
Ran Qingxuan was smiling shyly just now, but the moment he turned around, he immediately revealed a sarcastic look.
"Do you think everyone is like you, sitting at home all day and not doing business?"
"If it weren't for the two old people in your family being useless and leaving you nothing but the house, the mansion wouldn't have to dismiss the servants and leave me alone to take care of you, a waste of money."
As he spoke, Ran Qingxuan picked up the silver and blew on it, then wiped it with a handkerchief and moved closer to him.
"Fortunately, my brother loves me and is afraid that I will be wronged in your house, so he gives me some money every time he comes. Otherwise, I will be starving sooner or later if I follow you."
"Next time I see you, I will definitely thank you, big brother. Madam, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by being angry."
"You don't need to tell me, you didn't open the door when I knocked on it just now, and you have to wait for me to open it...
Am I just unlucky or am I incompatible with your family? I have never had a good day since I married into your family..."
Ran Qingxuan almost poked his finger into his mouth. Gu Yanchen pretended to be angry but couldn't say anything. He sat down and picked up the collection of books on the table and started reading again.
Although the officers had seen cases of women bullying men before, this was the first time they had seen someone as blatant as Ran Qingxuan.
Not only did she invite her lover home, she also flirted with him in front of her husband. Not only that, her husband had no idea about it and even expressed his desire to thank her.
The chief officer looked at Ran Qingxuan with disgust, pointed at the three people standing timidly in the yard and asked.
"Who are they?"
Ran Qingxuan wiped the fifty taels of silver in his hand and said with disdain without even raising his eyes.
"They are a bunch of poor relatives who took advantage of my daughter's illness and came to ask for money."
When the officer saw that one person was missing, his eyes showed a hint of fierceness.
"There is a woman. Where is she?"
Ran Qingxuan didn't say anything. He raised his eyes calmly and glanced at He Zishi who didn't even dare to breathe.
The latter had already colluded with Ran Qingxuan in his testimony. Although he was frightened by the officer's posture, he knew how to respond.
"My Lord, our two families are hunters. When we went to Shuangling to sell wild animals, my daughter was careless and got bit by a snake in a cage.
I remembered that my niece's in-laws were here, so I asked to stay for a few days to recuperate. ”
Before the officer could ask clearly, Ran Qingxuan made a disgusted sound, and he did not hide the disgust in his words at all.
"Who is your niece? Who do you think you are? Get out of here right away after you're cured. You didn't even pay for the accommodation and you're eating and drinking for free."
If Ran Qingxuan hadn't gone to find them early in the morning, no one would be able to bear these remarks.
Probably because of it, the three of them blushed with shame and stood there awkwardly, looking a little at a loss.
Gu Yanchen seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and quietly defended them.
"Ma'am, there's not many people at home anyway, and there are empty rooms. My cousin and his family are also in trouble, so we can help as much as we can."
"Why are you pretending to be so high up? I have the final say in the family!"
The situation suddenly became awkward after she scolded them. The officers stood where they were and looked at the leader, with the words "leave quickly" almost written on their faces.
Seeing that she was about to curse, the chief officer immediately interrupted her.
"After the search is over, you can say whatever you want."
After saying this, he began to command the officers around him.
"You guys take people to search the backyard, and you guys go search the west side. Remember to check the woman who was bitten by the snake carefully."
