As the patriarch of a big family, he must be able to coordinate the growing forces of each house, be impartial, and firmly control the family power in his hands, so that there will be no scattered sand, which requires absolute means.

Looking at the situation in the imperial court, it is likely that the "Xuanwu Gate incident" will be staged again ten or several years later. The clan will certainly have disagreements and need a person with enough skills to control the situation. However, it is uncertain whether they will live to that time. Among the younger generation, all of them are loyal and have more than enough talents. Xiao Song is one of them This is one of the important reasons why the clan elders prefer Xiao Song to take over the position of clan leader. However, Xiao Song's actions were contrary to his ancestor's precepts, so some people in the clan also opposed it.

The matter can only be suspended for the time being.

Without so many people watching, ran Yan left the ancestral hall and went back to the courtyard.

As soon as she was about to enter the door, she was stopped by Liu Qingsong.

Liu Qingsong rushed to the front of him, but his steps were not stable. He said, "I'll go back to Chang'an first." He had a big burden on his back, and he was obviously ready.

"Well, you must have known about the ten elder brother's affairs. I can't get away from my body here. Please deal with it more." Ran Yan thought Liu Qingsong was unreliable, but he never doubted his intelligence.

Liu Qingsong said with a smile, "that's nature. That's my future brother-in-law. Please speak to Jiulang for me

"Well, have a good trip." Ran Yan said.

Liu Qingsong nodded and left in a hurry. That was basically all he had left in his family. In this family, he decided that only Mrs. Tai and Jiu Lang were relatives. Since Mrs. Tai had passed away, he had nothing to do with Xiao's family.

Ran Yan looked at his back, which was as thin as a bamboo pole, and felt helpless. Speaking of it, ran Yan was unintentionally harmed so many times by him. He should have hated him, but Liu Qingsong couldn't hate him, and revenge was not. If he didn't revenge, he was not happy.

The execution of the ancestral hall over there was very fast. After about half an hour, Xiao song came back.

"How about spring?" Ran Yan asked.

Xiao Song washed his hands and was wiping them with a towel. He said, "I can't die, but life is not like death. It's not that I was ungrateful. Her father was one of the officials in the house, and she was expelled from the house because of her crimes. Her stepmother and brother must not be able to accommodate her

Ran Yan said, everyone has to bear the consequences for their own choice. At this time, she has no heart to think about others, just waiting for the court to call Xiao Song back to Chang'an.

"Don't worry." Xiao Song hugged her from behind, and Wen Sheng said, "there are a lot of cases in the new year, and people in the Ministry of punishment are very nervous. I can't find anyone else to take over immediately. Even if the emperor doesn't take the funeral, I have to go back and hand it over."

"Well." Ran Yan's whole back leans in his arms, in the heart is steadfast many, "Liu Qingsong's news reliable?"

Xiao Song shakes his head, "holy meaning is hard to predict."

As long as the decree does not come down, there will be variables.

If so, we can only wait patiently. After the spring came, people privately turned their attention back to the poisoning of Madame Dongyang.

Ran Yanxin felt that Madame Dongyang must have been angry with her now. If she had not been present and diagnosed with poisoning, maybe Madame Dongyang could have concealed it by means of means, and would not have made the mistake because she was eager to do something.

All the reasons are because ran Yan said that Madame Dongyang was poisoned. That day When Madame Dongyang fainted

"Go and call the doctor," said the fourth lady "What kind of doctor! My nephew and daughter-in-law don't know how to cure! " Six Madame turns to turn to turn quickly, direct ran Yan wave a way, "come over quickly!"

……

Ran yanmeng remembers that it was the sixth lady who asked her to have a diagnosis and treatment that day. This was a matter of sesame size, but Six Madame, that is Li Ke's mother-in-law, if said this matter is not a trap, ran Yan does not believe it!

It's been used by people! Ran Yan sighs that once the house is linked with the political affairs, it is more dangerous. Fortunately, it is just a chess piece for people. What if she is plotting her life?

Ran Yan didn't want to stay any longer.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long. On the third day of the ordeal, a decree came. Xiao Song immediately rushed to Chang'an and took the mourning. Instead of one year's filial piety period, the Duke of song temporarily took the post of governor of Qizhou to guard the filial piety for his wife.

Although Xiao Song had a close relationship with his grandsons and grandsons, they were not their sons, and it was not too much to rob them.

The next day, ran Yan returns to Chang'an with Xiao Song.

Ran Yan abandoned the carriage and rode with Xiao Song. She was good at horsemanship, but she never rode a long way. After half a day, her thigh was worn off. However, she was worried about ran Yunsheng and insisted on biting her teeth. She never told Xiao song that when she took a rest, the blood had been dripping down the bottom of her pants to the ground, which was stopped by Xiao Song.

When I returned to Chang'an, it was 22 days since ran Yunsheng disappeared.Ran Yan hurried back to Anshan Fang. As soon as he entered the mansion, he felt a suffocating depression. From the gate to the inner courtyard, no one dared to speak in a normal voice.

"Ah Yan?"

As soon as ran Yan arrived at the main hall, a man came out.

Ran Yu recognized ran Yu! In a short period of time, ran Pingyu has gone from the image of Maitreya Buddha to the sunken cheekbones and cheeks. Because he is too thin, the skin on his cheek is loose, and there are many folds. His temples are gray. He looks more than ten years older than before.

"Third uncle!" Ran Yan was sad and welcomed the past.

Ran Pingyu couldn't help but wipe his face to make himself look more energetic. "Did you have a meal in such a hurry?"

"Let's not talk about this. What about Liu Qingsong, uncle?" Ran Yan sincerely hopes that Liu Qingsong can rely on this time and handle some facts.

Ran Pingyu and ran Yan came into the room together and sighed, "he and ah Yun went out. As soon as he came back, he tried to find a way to explore the princess's other courtyard. However, due to the strict guard, they could not find out carefully. There were many husbands in it, and I don't know whether Shilang was among them..."

Ran Pingyu's voice choked, sighed with a slight tremor, then slowed down, and then explained, "fortunately, half a month ago, the bodyguards of Xiao's house came to say that the emperor received impeachment from the imperial historian's office, saying that Princess baling secretly abducted and hid good people, seriously injured several people, and secretly had a large amount of arfurong transactions. The evidence was very detailed. The emperor was angry and put Princess baling under house arrest The third division is investigating whether the evidence is true, but so far there is no result. "

Ran Yan nodded, no wonder Xiao Song was so sure that the emperor would invite him back. The Ministry of punishment was already very busy at this time. The first leader was ill, and the second was not there, which added such a difficult case, making it even more difficult for him.

In addition, the Ministry of punishment is led by the Minister of the Ministry of punishment to participate in the joint trial, and there is no suitable substitute. We can't let the sangpin Shangshu go to the joint trial.
