Chen Chaoyan glanced at his excited eyes, then at Xie Xuan who was walking in front, and replied casually: "Fake."

"Impossible!" Ling You vetoed without thinking, "Yuejian may tell lies, but Banxia will never. She said that the young master wrote a marriage letter for you, so I must write a marriage letter. Oh, I wrote it A marriage letter is equivalent to an engagement, so should I be called Miss Chen Princess from now on?"

"Princess, that's a good title, it's reassuring to hear."

"Hey, princess, let me tell you, many ladies from noble families in the capital are coveting our young master. You have to be more careful, these ladies from noble families are more powerful than each other, if you don't pay attention, You will have to be deceived by them. However, you don’t have to be too afraid. If they really dare to play tricks and schemes to harm you, I will go to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice to steal a corpse. Don’t hide it, take it. The knife will be dissected and shown to them, and I will guarantee that they will be scared to death!"

Xie Xuan nodded, and praised him quite a bit: "That's a good idea."

Chen Chaoyan glanced at the two of them indifferently: "I don't think I should dissect a corpse for them to see, but I should dissect a corpse and cut it into pieces for you to see, so that you won't always make fun of me!"

"How can I make fun of you?" Ling You retorted, "I'm giving you advice."

Chen Chaoyan heheed twice, "If the young ladies of these aristocratic families dare to plot tricks to harm me, I can only prove one thing."

Lingyou immediately asked, "Which point?"

Chen Chaoyan said: "Your son is incompetent."

After Lingyou quickly sweated for her, he quickly looked at Xie Xuan.The last court official who said that the young master was incompetent was still lying on the bed with his arms and legs broken.

Xie Xuan turned his head slightly, looked into her slightly provocative eyes, and smiled coyly: "This king is only domineering because of his father's favor. When it comes to conspiracies and tricks, it is by no means the young ladies of those aristocratic families. Opponent. So, the king's safety is in the hands of the princess."

Lingyou immediately echoed: "Princess must protect our young master!"

Chen Chaoyan: ...

Chen Chaoyan decided to keep her mouth shut and not to take their words lightly.Xie Xuan seemed to guess what was going on in her mind, and after chuckling happily, he sent Lingyou to say: "The princess doesn't like others to call her princess, so remember to keep your mouth shut in front of everyone in the future!"

"Understood." Lingyou immediately assured, "From now on, I will still be called Miss Chen before people, and I will be called Wangfei after people."

Chen Chao's face was expressionless and indifferent.

Feng Shoudao and Zhao Wuwei were already waiting outside the gate of the house.

Seeing them coming, Feng Shoudao instinctively nodded gently to Chen Chaoyan after Yili passed Xie Xuanyi.

Xie Xuan glanced at him coldly, and got into the carriage first.After Chen Chaoyan returned the gift to him, she also got into the carriage.Lingyou coughed twice and stood still.Yuejian also intentionally lagged two steps behind, and when passing by Lingyou, said in a low voice: "I'll leave it to you."

After Lingyou gave her a reassuring look, he took a few steps forward and stopped Feng Shoudao who was about to go to the carriage, "Master Feng, please take a step to speak."

Feng Shoudao thought that Xie Xuan had some orders, so he followed him to the side without thinking too much.

"I heard that Lord Feng intends to propose marriage to our princess for Second Young Master Feng?" Lingyou asked pretentiously.

"Princess?" Feng Shoudao looked at Xie Xuan's carriage in surprise.

Ling You still pretended to be profound, "Master Feng, doesn't he know that our young master has already written a marriage letter to Miss Chen?"

Feng Shoudao was so frightened that he felt panic at first, and instinctively wanted to explain that he didn't know about it in advance.As soon as the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that Xie Xuan was the prince, and the emperor's most trusted prince, and the position of princess was not something Chen Chaoyan could afford.Forced to calm down, Feng Shoudao asked in a low voice: "When did it happen? The emperor agreed?"

Response is fast enough.Lingyou kept his face shut, looked at the carriage that was already driving, and hummed: "When did it happen? When is it the turn of Master Feng to intervene! As for whether the emperor agrees or not, that is our young master's business, and it is not yet the turn of Master Feng. Come worry about it! Mr. Feng just remember that Miss Chen is already our young master's man, so Mr. Feng should stop thinking about her!"

Feng Shoudao suppressed the strange emotion in his heart, and kept saying yes.

Standing still, after Lingyou walked away, Feng Shoudao raised his eyes to look at Xie Xuan's carriage that had already gone away, and unconsciously knit his eyebrows together.

Zhao Wuwei came over and called in a low voice, "My lord?"

Feng Shoudao withdrew his thoughts, sighed softly and said: "It was already a situation surrounded by wolves, and now there is a poisonous snake hidden in the dark that will come out and bite him at some time, and he doesn't choose to be strong and strong." Let's join forces and stabilize the situation as soon as possible. We still have to choose... Forget it. If he dares to make such a choice, there must be a reason for him. Let's go and see. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late. Let's go quickly."

Xie Xuan's carriage had already gone out of sight, Zhao Wuwei responded, quickly glanced at the direction of the gate, and then rode up to follow.

Qi Wu's house is not far from the Sheriff's Mansion, and he arrives there within less than tea tea time by carriage.Different from the large and luxurious house in Wang Da or Ma Huai's house, Qi Wu's house is not small in size, but the layout is extremely simple.In addition, no matter whether it is a woman or a handyman in the family, their speech and behavior are equally simple, and it is completely impossible to see that he is doing such a big business behind the scenes.

Following the floor plan of the house displayed on the light screen, he walked roughly around the house. After familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment, knowing that the mother-in-law and the handyman probably didn't know anything, Chen Chaoyan asked Ling You to take them all. They were called together and interrogated one by one before they began to inspect the houses in the house.

When investigating the clues of Zhou Zhongcai's case earlier, Chen Chaoyan had seen nearly a thousand houses, and she knew the layout of the houses in Luyang County by heart.

Qi Wu has five children, three daughters and two sons.The three daughters are all married, and the two sons are also married.Before they got married, the three daughters lived in a second yard together.The two sons entered the courtyard one by one.Qi Wu and his wife have a yard, and the two concubines also have a yard.In addition to stables, miscellaneous rooms, etc., there are roughly thirteen or four courtyards in the house.

Chen Chaoyan started to check from the stable closest to the gate.

Xie Xuan followed her closely, looking at the bright spot in her eyes again, the color of her eyes gradually darkened.But just for a moment, it dissipated like golden light breaking through the fog.

With the marriage certificate bound, he had plenty of time to figure out her identity and origin.

Qi Wu's house, whether it's the stables, the yard where the servants live, or the kitchen, every room is neat and clean.It belongs to the existence that can be seen at a glance when standing at the door.

According to the floor plan displayed on the light screen, Chen Chaoyan inspected more than half of the yards from south to north, one yard after another, but still found nothing.

Chen Chaoyan was calm, and Xie Xuan was also calm.

However, Lingyou couldn't hold back anymore. After finding nothing in the courtyard of Qi Wu's two second sons, he took a few steps ahead of the others and entered Qi Wu's courtyard first, and then entered Qi Wu's bedroom.

Qi Wu's bedroom was as neat and simple as the rest of the house, Ling You even dug up the mouse holes on the ground and checked, but found nothing.

The same goes for the study.

Back in the yard, Lingyou folded his hands and said coldly, "There must be something we haven't discovered yet, otherwise, where did the money he earn go?"

Yue Jian said: "If it's fake to go back home to visit relatives, could it be that he took all the money with him when he left?"

"Impossible!" Lingyou retorted, "From Wang Dongyang's home, 56 boxes of ancient treasures and treasures were found, including 760 and five pieces of copper coins, and 120 and three pieces of silk and satin. As the center of Luyang County, Qiwu will only have more .There are so many things, it's impossible to take them all away at once!"

Yuejian has always been at odds with him, no matter whether there is reason or not, they always have to argue point-to-point.Hearing his rebuttal at this moment, even though he felt reasonable in his heart, he still instinctively countered, "Then where did you hide it? All the yards have been checked, and there are no basements or secret vaults."

"Secret vault..." Chen Chaoyan murmured, and quickly looked at the light screen.

They were inspected from south to north, in other words, they were inspected in a sweeping manner.Qi Wu and his wife live in the last yard of the entire house. Behind their yard is the back garden, which is connected to a back door.

"The mother-in-law, the handyman, and his daughters don't know anything. That is to say, he may not have brought money and antiques home or brought them home in some way to conceal people's ears. The confession of Wang Da and others If everyone agrees that he has no other house except this house, then it is ruled out that he did not bring it home."

"Since he brought it home, how did he bring it home?"

As soon as Chen Chaoyan finished speaking, Xie Xuan quickly looked in the direction of the back door through the trees and eaves.

Chen Chaoyan followed closely behind and looked over.

Feng Shoudao followed the two of them all the time, and when he saw that they were looking in the same direction, he followed suit, "If Qi Wu brought the money into the house through the back door, then the money could only be hidden in the courtyard where he lives, but This courtyard..."

Chen Chaoyan withdrew her gaze and looked at the light screen.

Following her inspection, each courtyard on the floor plan was also marked with the corresponding name, but it was limited to this.There is no indication of the size of each courtyard.But if Qi Wu can only hide money and other things in this yard, then this yard...

"I'll check it again, I don't believe I can't find it!" Lingyou said as he entered the room.

Chonglou and Lingquan followed him closely.

Zhao Wuwei also followed, following to help.

Chen Chaoyan frowned and did not move.

Xie Xuan looked into her eyes, looked at the figure reflected in her eyes, and after a faint movement in his heart, he quietly looked at the layout of several rooms.Afterwards, he walked along the base of the wall thoughtfully.

After walking around twice, he entered the house.After looking around the environment, he walked along the wall again and walked around twice.After walking, he stood still at the door of the bedroom, and quietly instructed Ling You and the others, "Check the bed or the position of the bed carefully."

Without doubting him, Lingyou and the others quickly tore off the bed curtain, and then lifted the quilt, mat, mattress... nothing.Lingyou didn't believe in evil, he raised his foot and kicked the bed board.

bang bang twice.

"The bed was empty!"
