In fact, the details of being robbed by a certain gangster Ding Jian on Dagushan that night were trivial.

When Rong Zhen reported it to Si Tianjian, he quietly concealed it.

Now I think of this again.

Rong Zhen's jade hand twisting the paper suddenly clenched into a fist, and the bamboo paper in his palm was crushed into powder.

"It is better to kill than to humiliate. Don't let me find you..."

A trilling murmur sounded in the courtyard.

In fact, for Rong Zhen, the most embarrassing and infuriating thing is that the purple bellyband that has been with her for many years in the palace was looked at nakedly, and some traces on the bellyband were also openly shown to others.

…

Whenever he thinks about this, Rong Zhen, who has always been ascetic and ascetic, feels... extremely ashamed, like a noble girl's virginity being stripped naked in the street for the first time in her life.

If anyone were in the yard at this moment, they would notice the delicate and small earlobe beads exposed from the black hair of this cold and cold girl in palace clothes, which were as red as blood.

Under the warm autumn sunshine, it is a little crystal clear, like a cherry in early summer, so delicate and beautiful that people can't help but want to take a bite.

It's a pity that no one saw this scene...

Ouyang Rong left the backyard and when he passed the counter, he saw Yan Liulang and seven or eight detectives.

They are helping Rong Zhen to sort out the workshop's sales accounts and customer list one by one.

Ouyang Rong stopped and said hello.

Before turning around and leaving, he and Yan Liulang looked at each other for a moment, exchanging glances imperceptibly...

Ouyang Rong left Zhuxiang Papermaking Workshop.

Returning to the carriage on the road to Jiangzhou Hall, he closed his eyes the whole way, seemingly resting.

Rong Zhen still perseveres in checking, which is expected.

The only unexpected thing was that Rong Zhen came to him for help and manpower...

"Do you believe me so much..."

Ouyang Rong said to himself.

I remember that Rong Zhen's attitude towards him had changed a lot since he returned from investigating the case in Longcheng.

Although she was still cold towards him and didn't give him any sunshine, this was just a character that kept strangers away, rather than the previous attitude of rejecting strangers thousands of miles away.

The current appropriate cooperation seems to have given him some recognition after getting acquainted with him, Jiangzhou Governor, as an assistant teammate.

This attitude is very subtle, Ouyang Rong can detect it.

At first, Ouyang Rong was wary, thinking it was a trap. Rong Zhen might still doubt him and wanted to deliberately make him relax.

Therefore, these days, even though Ouyang Rong sent Yan Liulang and other cronies to "assist" him, he did not ask Yan Liulang to do anything. Instead, he tried his best to cooperate with Rong Zhen and other female officials in the investigation.

But as time went by, after these days of observation, and repeated trials, Ouyang Rong gradually felt that... Rong Zhen seemed to have no trap.

When I came to him for help, it was really just a lack of investigative manpower, and there was no fishing law enforcement.

This is very strange.

Ouyang Rong frowned slightly and returned to Jiangzhou lobby.

The afternoon passed quickly, and Ouyang Rong chatted with Yuan Huaimin for a few words, preparing to go back next time.

Yan Liulang brought people back and suddenly asked for a meeting.

Ouyang Rong's smile remained unchanged and he sent Yuan Huaimin away. The latter left work happily. Ouyang Rong saw Yan Liulang who had returned to the main hall.

"Mingfu..."

"First have a sip of tea to quench your thirst."

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it over.

Yan Liulang took a sip of tea, but without putting the cup down, he suddenly whispered:

"There's nothing going on at the papermaking workshop."

Ouyang Rong paused for a moment, then continued drinking tea, then put down the tea cup and asked casually:

"You just came back after you finished your work and had nothing to do, right?"

Yan Liulang said calmly: "Yeah."

There was silence between the two of them, and the conversation just seemed like they were talking about their daily life before get off work.

They drank the newly brewed Yunwu tea in silence.

Ouyang Rong felt slightly relieved.

It is different from my colleagues in Jiangzhou Hall who use official rattan paper and ink for public and private use.

He had never brought home any official belongings before, so all the paper, ink, pens, and inkstones in the Huaiye Lane mansion were newly purchased by his aunt and Vera in the market.

Although the Die Lian Hua he wrote casually that night was written with a special pen and fountain pen, the bamboo paper and ink he used, along with the Die Lian Hua words, fell into the hands of Miaozhen and other female officials.

At the beginning, Wei Lai went to the market to buy paper and ink. Logically, there would be records of the purchases at the paper and ink workshops, but I didn't know if the merchants had the habit of keeping records.

Of course it's best not to have that.

But if there is, it should be hidden among the vast number of buyer records.

Although it is difficult for Rong Zhen to find them one by one, if he investigates carefully, he may still get into trouble.

Originally, Ouyang Rong had already made preparations to be questioned by Rong Zhen after holding two purchase records.

All the excuses for not admitting it have been made.

Unexpectedly, Rong Zhen came to him to ask for help, so Yan Liulang went along with the flow and helped her "with all his heart and soul" for two days.

Yan Liulang was of course very cautious in handling matters, as he was originally a police officer.

It was not until now that he came back, hinting to Ouyang Rong that a certain purchase record of Zhuxiang Paper Workshop had been quietly processed.

Before that, Yan Liulang should have been very honest in cooperating with Rong Zhen to investigate the list of paper mills. It was only after confirming that there were no traps or supervision this afternoon that he destroyed a certain inconspicuous name without anyone noticing.

Presumably, the suspect list now sent to Rong Zhen has no clues involving the Huaiye Lane residence.

Ouyang Rong no longer has to worry about the flaws in the paper.

Now only the Mofang side is left. I wonder if the corresponding buyer records are kept.

However, even if Mofang later found out Wei Lai's semi-detailed purchase records, without the evidence from Zhifang, the threat to Ouyang Rong would be even smaller.

All in all, it is generally safe now.

"Thank you for your hard work." He whispered, putting down the teacup.

Yan Liulang shook his head.

Thinking of his chat with Rong Zhen not long ago, Ouyang Rong asked again:

"What did Mofang say?"

"After investigating the Zhuxiang Paper Factory, Ms. Shi asked her subordinates to come back and wait for a decision. She said that the Mo Factory has already started an investigation. If there is not enough manpower, they will call us again."

Ouyang Rong asked: "What is Rong Zhen's attitude towards you? Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?"

Yan Liulang shook his head: "I'm not dissatisfied. Before I took away the compiled roster in the afternoon, on the contrary..."

"What the hell."

Yan Liulang shrugged: "Instead, he praised the efficiency of the brothers. The female historian asked us to come to the Ming Mansion to ask for rewards. Judging from the tone, it seems to be serious."

The corners of Ouyang Rong's mouth twitched slightly.

The taste in the mouth is a bit weird.

How come I feel like I have received a sincere comment from my enemy: "I'm pretty good at this."

But is Rong really stupid? Obviously, judging from his past behavior, he is not stupid. He should have a lot of problems.

Too smooth, Ouyang Rong sighed:

"Okay, I've written it down and we'll figure it out together later. Yan Liulang and everyone should continue to wait. Don't go to Shuangfeng Peak for the next few days. If Lady Shi needs it in her follow-up investigation of Mofang, remember... it's your duty to go and help.

"

Yan Liulang glanced at him and lowered his eyes: "Yes, Mingfu." After a pause, "It is my duty to do so."

People retreat.

In the empty main hall after getting off duty, Ouyang Rong sat quietly for a while, staring blankly at the setting autumn sun on the corridor outside the door.

Under the dim light in the room, his face looked vaguely embarrassed:

"It doesn't look like an act. If it was a trap, then she should have brought the missing Rokuro over this afternoon to confront him...

"So, when did you exclude me from the list of suspects? If she messes around and sets traps, I won't feel anything. It's just a different position. But if she trusts me so much, I feel guilty..."

Ouyang Rong murmured, his tone thoughtful.

Was it the alibi provided by Li Dalang and other Jiangzhou officials during his previous trip to Longcheng?
To be continued...
