I am the best in the world with the crime solving system

the other side.

The carriage had just stopped at the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, and Feng Shoudao, who had been waiting inside the gate early, came out with Song Yanzhong and others.

Xie Xuan got out of the carriage and couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.Walking up to Feng Shoudao, he lifted him up with a jade bone landscape fan, and asked with a smile: "With such a big battle, is it the imperial father's edict to return me to Beijing?"

"This..." Feng Shoudao immediately bowed his hands and replied anxiously, "Zhezi was sent to the capital the day before yesterday, so it should be some distance away from the capital at this moment."

Xie Xuan's smile remained undiminished: "So the case has found a new clue?"

"This..." Feng Shoudao involuntarily bowed down two more points, "No, no."

"There is no imperial decree and no clues, so here you are..." Xie Xuan stood side by side with him, unfolded the jade bone landscape fan and shook it up and down, and asked, "Are you looking at the stars, the moon, or the flowers and grass?"

"Forgive me, my lord, my humble minister, my humble minister is here for..."

"Why are you here, this king doesn't want to know." Xie Xuan put away the jade bone landscape fan, put it on his bowed arm, stopped him from speaking, and glanced at the crowd again, "You are here Why, this king also doesn't want to know."

"Ten days."

"Within ten days, if I can't wait for my father's edict ordering me to return to Beijing or Zhou Zhongcai's case can't be solved, I will take you to the North Prison to experience what water drop punishment is!"

When the words fell, he waved his folding fan and walked away without waiting for everyone's reaction.

Until he disappeared without a trace, everyone still kept their posture of bowing and bowing their hands.

After Chen Chaoyan twitched the corner of her mouth in a clear way, she asked Yuejian to push her away.

It wasn't until she was gone that Feng Shoudao straightened up and let out a sigh of relief.

"My lord," Song Yanzhong got up immediately, glanced at the direction where Xie Xuan and Chen Chaoyan were leaving, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, this is..."

Feng Shoudao shook his head, he was not sure what Xie Xuan was thinking.

The reason why he brought everyone from the Sheriff's Mansion here to welcome him was because he went to Zhou's house without telling anyone and was too easy going.

Although he is only a county magistrate, he is also an official of the fourth rank.He doesn't say he knows everything about the undercurrents in the court, but he always knows about [-]%.Xie Xuan has been favored by the emperor for many years, and those who regard him as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh just don't say much.He sneaked all the way to Luyang County. Although there was no news, it would definitely not be peaceful.

Zhou Zhongcai's death was too strange, and there is no clue at the moment.He took Zhonglou and Yuejian to Zhou's house like this, if something bad happened, it would be fine if he couldn't keep his official status, and his life would definitely be a no-brainer.

Therefore, compared with solving the case, ensuring Xie Xuan's safety is more important to Feng Shoudao!

This is also the reason why he brought everyone in the Sheriff's Mansion here: to give him his favorite ostentation, to gently remind him that he is the most honored and favored prince of Wei, and he doesn't have to do everything himself.

But Xie Xuan seemed to reject his kindness, but didn't he completely reject it?

Feng Shoudao couldn't make up his mind, and was thinking about whether to go to Muyuantang to find out what happened later, when Song Yanzhong next to him cautiously asked: "Then, should Ms. Chen continue to investigate this case?"

"Why don't you investigate?" Feng Shoudao glanced at him, "This case happened after the prince came to Luyang County. If Miss Chen is not allowed to continue the investigation, when the prince returns to the capital, the emperor will interrogate you and punish you for malfeasance. , can you bear it?"

"The safety of the prince..."

"The safety of the lord," Feng Shoudao said after thinking for a moment, "I will tell Miss Chen later, and ask her to persuade the lord not to leave the mansion after dark."

Just as Song Yanzhong was about to answer, he saw Wang Da galloping all the way on a horse.After his heart skipped a beat, he quickly looked at Feng Shoudao.Seeing Feng Shoudao frowned and his eyes were dark, Song Yanzhong didn't even think about it, so he said in a quick voice behind Wang Dalama: "My lord and Miss Chen have already returned, you don't have to worry."

When Wang Da heard his words and observed Feng Shoudao's expression, he immediately calmed down.Get off the horse, come back a few more steps, respectfully bowed his hands and said: "I also hope that your lord will forgive your sins. In fact, I heard that the prince and Miss Chen went to Zhou's house in a light car, and I was concerned about their safety, so I galloped all the way to catch up."

Feng Shoudao said 'hmm', and said flatly: "Although the case was handled by Ms. Chen, you should pay more attention to it. How did Ms. Chen find clues and solve the case? When you have free time, you Also learn more from the past!"

After learning that Xie Xuan had gone to Zhou's house, Feng Shoudao was the first to look for him.After finding it, everyone found it, but he was still missing. Feng Shoudao was already dissatisfied with him.Seeing him being so reckless now, he felt dissatisfied, and his words were inevitably harsh.

Wang Da still obediently said yes.

Feng Shoudao was not a mean person, seeing that he had been taught, he left with his hands behind his back.

Wang Da waited for him to walk away before getting up.After everyone had dispersed, he followed Song Yanzhong and asked as he walked, "Your Excellency, what are you doing here with so many people?"

After Song Yanzhong glanced left and right, he told him his purpose.

After Wang Da listened, he asked in a low voice, "What's your attitude?"

After Song Yanzhong glanced around again, he said in the same low voice: "The prince said a few words to your lord, and then left. But judging from the few words he said, Zhou Zhongcai's case is still placed after returning to the capital."

Wang Da pondered for a moment, still not at ease, and asked him to repeat what Xie Xuan said to Feng Shoudao after he came back.

Song Yanzhong followed suit.

After hearing this, Wang Da breathed a sigh of relief.But thinking of the pot ashes, flour and other things scattered in Zhou Zhongcai's study in an instant, his mood sank again.

No, he still has to find a way to find out Chen Chaoyan's tone!

Go back to Muyuan Hall.

Xu time has passed.

Yuejian pushed Chen Chaoyan to the coffee table, refilled her tea, and asked Xie Xuan for instructions, then went out to call the maid to deliver the meal.

Take advantage of this gap.

After Chen Chaoyan cleaned the copper basin brought by the attendant, he asked Xie Xuandao: "What is the purpose of Mr. Feng to gather everyone in the county guard's mansion at the gate of the house?"

Xie Xuan wiped off the water stains in his hands, and while passing the handkerchief to Wen Mo, he took the tea from Qingxue.After taking two sips of shallow water, he said casually: "Probably because he is worried about his official status."

"His official body and..." Chen Chaoyan stopped talking when he saw the unicorn jade pendant hanging from his waist inadvertently.After a while, he looked away and pretended not to care and asked, "I probably didn't propose to go to Zhou's house earlier, did I?"

Xie Xuan looked down at the jade pendant on his waist, then looked at her with a half-smile, without making a sound.

Chen Chaoyan avoided his gaze, and said seriously: "From now on, unless it is absolutely necessary, don't go out after dark."

Xie Xuan played with the teacup, "Miss Chen is also scared?"

Chen Chaoyan said calmly: "If you're not afraid, you won't follow the prince to Luyang County."

"That makes sense." Xie Xuan looked at Chonglou, and said slowly, "Before going out in the future, go and tell Lord Feng first, and ask him to bring more people with him, so as not to frighten Miss Chen."

After Chonglou glanced at Chen Chaoyan, it should be.

Although she was afraid that he would be in danger, she couldn't escape the responsibility.But Chen Chaoyan still sat in his seat, bowed his hands solemnly and said: "Then thank you, my lord."

Xie Xuan said calmly: "Miss Chen, you don't need to be polite."

Chen Chaoyan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and stopped talking.

At this moment, under the guidance of Banxia and Ziling, several maidservants filed in with lacquered wooden trays.Then, Banxia and Ziling placed the food in the tray on the tables of Chen Chaoyan and Xie Xuan respectively.

Chen Chaoyan's dinner is the same as lunch, it is still five meat, two vegetarian, one cold, one soup, six desserts, one porridge, one rice, and one fruit, but the pattern has changed.

Xie Xuan's is lighter, only six vegetables, one soup, two desserts and a small bowl of vegetarian porridge.

Chen Chaoyan really wanted to tease him a few words, but thinking that he would take the risk of going to Zhou's house with her anyway, so she held back.

After eating and taking a short rest, Lingquan came back with the shopkeeper and accountant of Yinhook Cabinet Workshop.

The surname of the shopkeeper of Yinhook Cabinet is Fang, and the surname of the accountant is Jiang.

Both of them are white and fat, and both look about forty years old.

Under the guidance of Lingquan, the two entered Muyuan Hall, and knelt down in front of Xie Xuan in fear.

Xie Xuan was lying on the imperial concubine's couch leaning on the table, with one leg propped up, and after slowly drinking the tea in the cup, he looked up at the two of them, and asked lazily: "Why did the king ask you to come here? knew?"

Shopkeeper Fang and accountant Jiang immediately replied respectfully: "But according to the prince's order."

"Then first write two pieces of characters each, and then press the ten-finger fingerprints." Xie Xuan ordered.

Shopkeeper Fang and accountant Jiang respectfully agreed.

After the two of them knelt down and wrote the words, and pressed their fingerprints, Xie Xuan looked at the two people's handwriting and asked, "In September and November last year, Zhou Zhongcai borrowed five hundred guan in your cabinet. money?"

Shopkeeper Fang said yes.

Xie Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Did he go to the Silver Hook Cabinet Shop to borrow it alone?"

Shopkeeper Fang said yes again.

Xie Xuan: "Did he ever say, what are you borrowing money for?"

Shopkeeper Fang said: "It is said that the children in the family are getting older, and they want to change to a bigger house and buy some fertile land."

Xie Xuan raised his eyes to look at him again: "Where is the bigger house?"

Shopkeeper Fang said: "The seventh house from the east of Taiping Lane is located in the courtyard of the third entrance. Because it is close to the county school, it is more expensive than other houses. The sum of all the scattered houses costs nearly a hundred yuan. .”

Xie Xuan: "Since the house has been looked at for a long time, why haven't you bought it yet?"

Shopkeeper Fang said rather angrily: "Caomin also sent people to Zhou's house to ask, Master Zhou replied that all the money was used to buy fertile land!"

After handing the two pieces of calligraphy to Ling Quan and asking him to pass them on to Chen Chaoyan, Xie Xuan sat up and asked, "Who wrote the deed?"

The words on the loan deed belonged neither to Accountant Jiang nor to Shopkeeper Fang.

After quickly comparing the fingerprints of the two, Chen Chaoyan also looked at the two: the fingerprints on the deed were not theirs either.
