Chen Chaoyan smiled slightly, "I didn't mention the lord, but if the lord likes to be seated, I don't object."

Xie Xuan sneered.

Bai Shao also took a round fan and wanted to come over to give Chen Chaoyan some wind, Chen Chaoyan said: "Okay, I don't need to fan now, the cold air blowing on my face is cooler than being splashed with water."

"If you don't beat it for a day, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles!" Xie Xuan closed the jade bone landscape fan and knocked on her head.

Chen Chaoyan crouched and dodged.

Xie Xuan hummed: "I'm getting more and more courageous, and I dared to hide."

After blinking, Chen Chaoyan asked with a smile: "Then, does the lord want me to hide, or not?"

Xie Xuan smiled, "What does the princess think?"

After Chen Chaoyan pretended to think for a moment, he said, "I thought it was to make me dare to hide."

Xie Xuan tilted his body, faced her and said, "Let's talk about it in detail."

Before Captain Yu came back, Chen Chaoyan chatted with him: "My lord is noble, I don't know how many noble ladies from aristocratic families like her. The lord picked and picked, but in the end he chose me. Presumably it was the ladies from those noble families , I was bound by many rules since I was a child, let alone being beaten by the prince. If the prince is in a bad mood and wants to take their lives, I am afraid they will not dare to say anything. If there is only one young lady like this, the prince may look fresh. , but if all of them are like this, it will inevitably be boring, and this will also bring out my uniqueness."

"If I also become like them, wouldn't the prince be bored again?"

Xie Xuan originally thought that she would say that she was ugly, and no matter how bad she was, she would be as clear as a judge, but the more she heard it, the more shameful she became, but seeing her seriousness, she couldn't help but laughed again.Put away the jade bone landscape fan again, tap on the palm of your hand and said: "Come here and let me hit it twice to see if I am bored or not!"

"If the lord beats me, it's because I'm interesting." Chen Chaoyan continued to chatter, "But if I get beaten, I will definitely be unhappy, and gradually become boring. By then , the prince wants to coax him again, but he won't be able to coax him back."

When Bai Shao and Shi Shu heard this, they all laughed in unison.

Xie Xuan looked at her meaningfully, and then said casually: "Princess, let's try to become boring and see if I can coax her back."

"Forget it." Chen Chaoyan sighed deliberately, "I'm afraid that if the prince can't be coaxed back, life will become boring in the future."

Xie Xuan said twice.

"Don't bother me, my lord." Chen Chaoyan looked at the morning glories on the fence, and said half-truthfully, "It's the end of the party, and if I really leave someday in the future, the lord has nowhere to coax me."

Xie Xuan's eyes darkened, but his face became more casual, "The princess has already figured out how to take away the gold, silver and jewels in Qi Wu's secret room and basement?"

"This is indeed a problem." Chen Chaoyan nodded, and was about to chat a few more words when he saw Captain Yu walking over with a silver-haired old man with a red face.

The old man's surname is Ma and his name is Quan. He was Qu Wensheng's former coachman.

Others knew about Xie Xuan, mostly through word of mouth.As a native of the capital, Ma Quan knew about Xie Xuan. Apart from word of mouth, he also witnessed the scene of him beating and killing people with his own eyes.Therefore, before he got close, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and saluted with his head touching the ground: "Cao Min Ma Quan has seen the prince!"

Xie Xuan didn't ask him to get up, but only looked at him with cold eyes.

Although Ma Quan looked dusty, he was wearing a singlet, a robe, a hakama, leather boots on his feet, and even a beautiful jade hairpin on his head.Judging from the wear and tear of the undershirt, tunic, and leather boots, it is obvious that such clothes are his usual clothes.

Such a suit is not cheap.

Even the clothes that Bao Erzang in the Bao family massacre, which he was reluctant to wear, couldn't keep up with him.

After Chen Chaoyan vaguely understood the reason why Xie Xuan left him alone, she stopped talking.He even followed Xie Xuan back to have a meal on the grounds that it was noon and he was hungry, and took a nap before coming out again.

Xie Xuan didn't cry out, so Ma Quan naturally didn't dare to get up, even though the sweat had already made a small puddle under his body, and even though his legs had long since lost feeling, his eyes were turning black.

"Tell me, how did you bring Qu Wensheng to Widow Zhou's house." After drinking a cup of tea slowly, Xie Xuan spoke in a contemptuous voice.

When Ma Quan was approached by Zhechong soldiers and taken to Dongyin County, the group of them had not yet arrived in Dongyin County.Therefore, he knew nothing about all the things that happened in Dongyin County, and he was under strict surveillance while on the way.Hearing Xie Xuan's question right now, although he was afraid, he still took the past answer and said: "If you go back to the prince, it is the house of the widow Zhou who the master ordered the grass-roots to take him to. The master has long coveted the widow of that week. ..."

Xie Xuan lightly interrupted him: "Pull it over and bury it."

Immediately, two Zhechong soldiers came over, took Ma Quan's arm and walked towards the pit where the widow's bones were buried earlier.

"My lord, please forgive me, every word the grass people said is absolutely true, my lord, the grass people are wronged..." Ma Quan struggled and shouted, trying to win his trust.He has used this kind of trick many times in previous interrogations, and it has always been to no avail.

but……

The earth pit was not far away, two Zhechong soldiers threw him into the pit, picked up the hoe that Qu An and his son had not had time to take away, and began to fill the earth.The soil fell into the mouth of Ma Quan who was screaming dryly, blocking him almost out of breath.At this point, he finally panicked, rolled over quickly, and cried out as he crawled out: "I said it, I said it all."

But Zhechong soldiers didn't get Xie Xuan's order, kicked him back into the pit, and continued to fill the soil.

"It's Wu Hai, it's the Widow Zhou's house that he asked me to take Master to!" Ma Quan shouted.

"Drag it out." Xie Xuan ordered.

Two Zhechong soldiers immediately dropped their hoes and dragged him out of the pit.

Ma Quan knelt and crawled back to Xie Xuan, knelt down to the original position, kowtowed and said, "My lord, please forgive me, it was Wu Hai who colluded with the shopkeeper in the Jubao Building to plot against me, and made me temporarily owe my superiors." After Baiguan's gambling debts, they forced me to stay at the home of the widow Zhou who drove the master there that day. They only told me to drive the master there, and did not say that they would kill anyone. After the death of the widow Zhou, I also wanted to tell the truth. Hai used the excuse that the master was the one who carried me there, and forced me to admit that it was the master's order."

Xie Xuan said calmly: "Continue."

After Ma Quan answered yes repeatedly, he hurriedly said: "After the master was escorted to the capital, I was also taken to the capital. Then Wu Hai was afraid that I would regret it when I arrived in the capital, so he gave me ten pennies and promised me , as long as I kill the widow Zhou’s house that the master ordered to take him to, I’ll give me two more money every month. I couldn’t resist the temptation, so I agreed.”

Xie Xuanqian glanced at him, and after he was trembling, he asked again: "How did Widow Zhou die?"

Ma Quan burst into tears: "Prince Mingcha, I don't know, I really don't know. When Widow Zhou died, I hid in the distance and didn't know what happened in that house."

Xie Xuan didn't speak.

The two previous Zhechong soldiers made another gesture to pull people away.

Ma Quan was frightened and hurriedly said: "My lord, I really don't know. After I took the master to Widow Zhou's house, I dragged the master into Widow Zhou's room according to Wu Hai's instructions, and then hid according to Wu Hai's instructions." Later, I was afraid that the master would wake up early, find that I was not behind, and blame me for the crime, so I secretly went back and hid behind the firewood pile outside Widow Zhou's house, trying to play by ear, but I heard Wu The sound of Hai and Widow Zhou making love, I thought that the master was still in the room, so I took a look at the window paper, and found that they just left the master on the side of the bed, and they were just beside the bed. I used to I have never seen such a scene before, so I leaned on the window and looked at it for a while, thinking..."

The waiter scolded in a cold voice: "Bah, what a mess, get to the point!"

Ma Quan responded repeatedly, skipped the promiscuous plot, and talked about the future, "While I was watching, Widow Zhou's brother-in-law suddenly came back. Her brother-in-law saw my carriage parked in a corner of the yard, and immediately rushed towards the Widow Zhou rushed over from Widow Zhou's room. I was afraid that they would find me, so I ran away secretly. Later, I saw a group of people chasing the government servants to Widow Zhou's house, and I quietly followed them among them. Widow Zhou After returning home, I found out that Widow Zhou was killed by the master."

Xie Xuandao: "Widow Zhou did not die under Qu Wensheng's dagger."

What?

Ma Quan raised his head abruptly, met Xie Xuanbing's quenching gaze, then quickly retracted it, kowtowing again and again to apologize.

Xie Xuan didn't pay attention, and only asked, "Why did Wu Hai want to kill Qu Wensheng?"

"My lord, I really don't know." Ma Quan cried again, and cried louder than before, "My lord usually treats them like his own brothers, knowing that Wu Hai is greedy for women, I still like to find them. After the flower girl Peony in Huanfang, she spent money to redeem the peony and gave it to him. Knowing that Tang Liansheng liked to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, she gave him the Yue kiln green glaze straight neck vase that she had collected for many years. Another He I don't have any hobbies, and the master didn't lose him. In terms of food and clothing, everything was properly arranged for him. They, they were all spoiled by wolves, so they tried every means to plot against our master!"

Chen Chaoyan didn't know who Wu Hai was at first, but when he heard this, he realized that it was Qu Wensheng's friends.Hearing his shameless evasion again, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Haven't you also been coerced and lured by Wu Hai to slander your master?"

Ma Quan kowtowed and said: "Miss taught me the lesson, I am also a wolf-hearted dog, so I will use some money to slander the master."

Xie Xuan glanced at Chen Chaoyan, and continued to ask, "Who put those clothes in Qu Wensheng's study?"

"I didn't let it go." Ma Quan immediately denied, "Master's study, except for Wu Hai and the old master, son, young master, and other masters can enter, no one else can enter or leave without order."

"Procrastinate." Xie Xuan said.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life." Thinking that he was going to be buried alive again, Ma Quan smashed his head with howls.It wasn't until he saw that Zhechong soldiers were dragging him away in the direction of downhill that he restrained himself a little.

Speechless for a while.

After a long time, Chen Chaoyan said, "Since Ma Quan has given Wu Hai a confession, then there is no need to investigate secretly, and send someone to bring Wu Hai and Tang Liansheng back for interrogation."

Xie Xuan said 'hmm', "I have already sent someone to go."

Before Wu Hai and Tang Liansheng were brought back, Yuejian brought Shi Yun back first.
