The best county magistrate

On the way back to the capital.

Yang Xuanchen, Zhou Miaomiao, Yu Wei and Wuchuan, who was tied into a rice dumpling, sat in a carriage together.

"General Wu, why don't you wear a mask when you go out this time?"

When Wu Chuan was asked this question by Yang Xuanchen, his eyes suddenly became panicked, but he quickly hid it.

"General Wu must be familiar with Dragon Marrow Incense, so I don't need to say more."

"If you hadn't taken the risk and killed Hua Zigan that night, we wouldn't have discovered your trace so quickly..."

As one after another past cases were uncovered by Yang Xuanchen, Wu Chuan already felt hopeless.

"General Wu, actually there is no grudge between you and me. If you could tell me today what happened to Zhou Yanyan, the eldest son of General Zhou..."

Wu Chuan raised his head and looked at Yang Xuanchen without saying anything.

Why does he only care about Zhou Yanyan?

You, a person surnamed Yang, cares about the affairs of the Zhou family, and you have nothing to do after you have enough to eat?

No, the sword wielded by the beautiful woman just now is without a blade. I can’t get it wrong. Why is this sword in her hand?

Countless questions troubled Wuchuan, causing the expression on his face to change constantly.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak for a long time, Zhou Miaomiao took Wu Feng out of the scabbard and stood in front of Wuchuan.

"You know this sword, it is my father's sword..."

Wu Chuan looked at Wu Feng and then at Zhou Miaomiao's face carefully. His pupils shrank instantly, but he still did not speak.

"I remember when I was a kid, my brother had a guard named Chen Chuan."

"My elder brother treats him like an elder brother. Chen Chuan wears whatever his elder brother wears, and Chen Chuan uses whatever his elder brother uses..."

Zhou Miaomiao was still recalling the past events in Zhou's mansion, while Wuchuan in front of him lowered his head and burst into tears.

He kept kowtowing to Zhou Miaomiao, and his blood stained the floor of the carriage red.

Judging from Zhou Miaomiao's words and his performance and behavior, he is the Chen Chuan Miaomiao mentioned, her brother's bodyguard.

How could a bodyguard of the Zhou family be related to the Song family? Could it be that he was an Infernal Affairs practitioner?

Yang Xuanchen used his strength to lift his upper body up and pushed him to the side of the carriage.

"General Wu, no, it's more appropriate to call you Chen Chuan."

Yang Xuanchen said as he held Zhou Miaomiao in his arms, because she was so excited, because this time she was one step closer to the truth about her brother's death.

"You must have recognized who she is. If you still have a conscience, I hope you can cooperate and answer the questions I raised."

"Miss, I am guilty! Chen Chuan is guilty!" Chen Chuan shouted, "Miss, please give me death. Chen Chuan is willing to die to apologize."

With a snap, Yu Wei gave him a big blow.

She looked at Chen Chuan with sharp eyes, "You deserve to die, but you can't die yet. We need to know the truth back then!"

"Speak as much as you know!"

Chen Chuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic, but he didn't know where to start.

"Chen Chuan! Stop knocking, let me ask you! Why did Miaomiao's eldest brother have a conflict with Song Guangcheng back then?" Yang Xuanchen asked in a cold voice.

"It was Song Guangde who set up the trap. It was the Song family who kidnapped my sister and my family and forced me to commit a heinous crime..."

Chen Chuan cried and complained about the mistakes he made while recalling the past, which made the three of them hateful and angry.

What he hates is the heinous crimes the Song family has committed over the years, and what he is angry about is Chen Chuan's acknowledgment of thieves as his father and his accomplices.

"Do you have evidence that the Song brothers colluded with Zhennan King Duan Zhenglong?" Yang Xuanchen asked again.

Chen Chuan shook his head and sighed helplessly, "I only know that Song Guangcheng has contacts with the people of King Zhennan."

"The last time he met with the Sun family in Yunmeng City, he didn't bring me with him."

"Then do you still have the incense burner you just mentioned?" This is what Yu Wei asked.

"Yes, yes! There are several more at my sister's house in Dongcheng." Chen Chuan said excitedly.

Along the way, Chen Chuan honestly explained all the crimes he and the Song family had committed over the years, which made Yang Xuanchen furious.

Chief among them are several mysteries and unsolved cases.

Chu Xinran's mission aroused dissatisfaction in the Northern Liao Dynasty and caused a crisis at Haiyang Pass. There are other unknown things in this.

Who else was behind the collapse of the Zhou family? Because the Song family and the Zhou family were equally matched back then, and there was no way that one family could completely defeat the other.

And this time, why did Song Guangxin use the same method to poison Tuoba Zhongxuan.

No more useful information could be gleaned from Chen Chuan's mouth, so Yang Xuanchen had no choice but to return to Shangjing City and leave him under Zhou Huisheng's care first.

Because he is too important to be exposed to the eyes of interested people at this juncture.

Whether it is the Song family or the high-ranking officials who are planning to be arrested today, they are just people on the surface. Those or that person who is hiding in the dark have no clue at all now.

Yang Xuanchen and the others separated from the people in Qingshui County halfway through.

Wu Changqing took the people from Qingshui County to the villa in the east first, while Yang Xuanchen returned to the capital with the people from You Yiwei.

After briefly exchanging a few words with Wu Yiheng and Han Changping outside the south gate, Yang Xuanchen entered the palace without stopping.

At this time, the imperial study room was brightly lit, and Qin Qimao, Lu Boyuan and several officials whom Yang Xuanchen didn't know well were discussing matters.

After Wu Dahai announced Yang Xuanchen's visit, everyone's eyes instantly turned to him.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xuanchen, is here to see you. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty." He said loudly and saluted, then stood up and began to touch his nose awkwardly.

I'm not a beautiful woman, so it's embarrassing for you guys to stare at me like this, okay?

"Xuanchen is here, is everything going well?" Emperor Jianwen asked with concern.

"Returning to Your Majesty went smoothly."

"These are Meng Yingwei, the Minister of Justice, Feng Chenjie, Taichung Prime Minister, and Wu Youzhi, the Young Minister of Dali Temple..."

With Emperor Jianwen's introduction, Yang Xuanchen finally recognized everyone in the imperial study.

Immediately afterwards, he was bombarded by Yu Shuping and Li Xingzhi.

"Your Majesty, I have the right to do it! Yang Xuanchen, the young master of the Zhanshi Mansion, has no regard for the king's laws and is lawless. He arrests people whenever he wants..." This is what Li Xingzhi said.

Yu Shuping sighed and bowed, "Your Majesty, Minister, three ministers have been captured, and there are countless officials, big and small."

He stood up and pointed at Yang Xuanchen, his tone becoming indignant, "He Yang Xuanchen is a sinner, a traitor..."

With a snap, Emperor Jianwen slapped his palm on the table in front of him.

"enough!"

"If you are here to question me, then get out and kneel at the palace gate like that old man Wang Ran."

"I called you here because you are upright and upright. I asked you to come up with a solution, not to mess around!"

Now that Emperor Jianwen had set the tone, no one dared to say anything more.

But there were always some people who cast unkind glances at Yang Xuanchen. Only the few ministers and young ministers gave Yang Xuanchen friendly smiles.

Yang Xuanchen naturally understood the pros and cons.

You old immortals talk about caring about the country and the people all day long, but you don’t even know what the people under your command are doing.

Really incompetent!

If your butts were not clean, I would have arrested you too.

However, Emperor Jianwen didn't even ask him to say anything at this moment, so it was better to pretend to be quail.

After all, if so many people were arrested in one day, everyone would have a problem with him.

Qin Qimao now acted as a peacemaker. He pulled Yu Shuping and said softly: "Prime Minister Yu, don't be angry. Let's think about how to make the court work first."

He just tried to persuade him, and then he saw Li Xingzhi swinging his sleeves, sitting on the ground, and sighing.

When Yu Shuping saw this, he took a few deep breaths and pointed at Yang Xuanchen with a trembling finger, looking even more helpless.

"Master Xiao Yang, Your Majesty asked you to investigate the case. My Majesty gave Anyan Division to you, not to let you commit crimes, alas."

"Oh, what a sin!" Li Xingzhi on the ground sighed heavily.

The left and right ministers started to mess up. This was something no one expected. Even Yang Xuanchen was shocked.

I'll blanch it, and if you two old turtles just stay here, won't you need me to wipe your butts for the rest of your life?

You are the ones who are bad. The acting is as real as Wu Jing stepping on Jay Chou. It’s wonderful!

He secretly glanced in the direction of Emperor Jianwen, only to find that he was staring at him.

Nima!

The old sow got stuck in the fence. I knew she would enter the palace again tomorrow.

"What are you looking at? Come up with a solution quickly or else I will slap you, believe it or not?"
