"Report to the official!"

The first person to answer was the Fourth Prince.

He was so envious of the atmosphere between Qin Yaoguang and the children that he couldn't wait to join in.

After he answered, Yan Shiyan and Yan Jinyang shut up tacitly and looked at Qin Yaoguang.

"But you have no evidence?"

Qin Yaoguang said: "Brother Yan just said that after he sent the betrothal gifts, he left the engagement letter and gift list at the woman's home. That's why he couldn't express his grievances and killed someone in anger later on."

"That……"

The fourth prince pondered for a long time, but could not think of a solution. He asked cautiously, "Does evidence really need to be available?"

Qin Yaoguang laughed: "What do you think?"

"Not many ordinary people dare to go to the government office to sue, not to mention that there is no evidence. How can the lawyer write a complaint for him based on his words alone, and how can the prefect believe it?"

Yan Jinyang was standing beside him, looking eager to try.

Qin Yaoguang pointed at him and said, "Xiaowu, you go ahead and speak."

"Since the betrothal gift is in the woman's hands, take back all the evidence."

Yan Jinyang gestured and said, "My son has a recipe for a drug that has no side effects. Put it in the well and they will all fall asleep. Then the herbalist can go in and take his things."

After saying this, he blinked his clear eyes and said, "Mother, do you think my method is good?"

This……

To be honest, no one was killed, which is much better than the current outcome.

But, what should we say?

Making people unconscious doesn't seem like a legitimate method at all, right?

Is this the mindset of a little villain?

Even if you change your fate, you cannot change the mark left by the original book.

The Fourth Prince looked at the delicate and chubby Yan Jinyang in shock, not understanding how Yan Jinyang could say such words with such an innocent look.

Today, he was either in shock or on the way to shock.

Faced with Yan Jinyang's look of seeking praise, Qin Yaoguang didn't want to discourage him, but he really couldn't agree with him. He thought wildly in his heart: If only Yan Yuanan were here.

I will definitely be able to keep Xiaowu under strict control.

Unfortunately, Yuan An was not there, so she had to turn her attention to Yan Shiyan: "Brother Yan, what do you think of Xiao Wu's method?"

Yan Shiyan smiled slightly: "Mother, although Fifth Brother's method is good, it is not well thought out. What if we still can't find the engagement letter after knocking everyone out?"

"Even if he can find it, how can he explain to the prefect how the engagement letter ended up in his hands?"

Yan Jinyang listened and nodded repeatedly: "Third brother is right!"

Qin Yaoguang nodded in affirmation and asked Yan Shiyan: "What do you think?"

As expected of the future warden, he is meticulous and attentive to details.

To be honest, even she didn't think of these two points.

It doesn’t matter, she just needs to stay calm and be good at asking questions.

Yan Shiyan lowered his eyes and slowly weighed a cherry and put it into his mouth without spitting out the pit. He squeezed out the sweet juice with his mouth and swallowed it whole, skin and pit included.

After carefully wiping the water stains off his fingers, he spoke: "In my son's opinion, if we report it to the authorities, the injustice of the herbalists will not be redressed."

This answer left everyone stunned.

"No, it's impossible, right?"

The fourth prince was the first to disbelieve it: "If we can't make decisions for the people, what is the point of opening a government office?"

Yan Shiyan put down the handkerchief she was using to wipe her fingers, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyes: "Who says that people who are wronged can be vindicated?"

He doesn't believe in so-called fairness, and he doesn't believe that good will be rewarded and evil will be punished. This is Yan Shiyan.

He listed several famous wrongful cases in history and said slowly, "These are the ones we know about after the truth came to light. I think there are many more wrongful cases buried in the files."

At this point, his eyes darkened. "May I ask, Fourth Prince, how can we redress their injustice?"

"I……"

These remarks made by Yan Shiyan were simply outrageous to the Fourth Prince, who had always received the most orthodox Confucian education.

He swallowed hard and retorted: "If I were the prefect, I would investigate it carefully and would not let him kill people or let an honest man be wronged!"

"well said!"

Qin Yaoguang was the first to applaud.

Regardless of whether it can be realized or not, the Fourth Prince’s idea is always the most positive one and deserves encouragement.

So this is what it feels like to be praised?

The fourth prince's cheeks turned slightly red, and he lowered his eyes to look at a wild grass growing vigorously at his feet.

"Then I wish you success."

Yan Shiyan smiled faintly, picked up the glass and raised it to the Fourth Prince.

"I am coming too."

Yan Jinyang stretched out his little arms as hard as he could and held the cup high.

"it is good!"

After the three children finished their cups of tea, the air seemed to brighten. The haze brought by the herbalist murder case was dispelled by the bright spring sunshine.

After playing in Leyouyuan for a full half day, the people from Wenxinhou Mansion left first. When the sun gradually set, Qin Yaoguang also took Chunning and the children back home.

In order to avoid Xie Shu's suspicion, Yan Changqing did not go with them, but turned his horse around and went to another farm.

As soon as the group entered the city gate, they saw Dai Zhilong and his entourage waiting at the gate.

After the murderer was brought to justice, he first returned to the Dali Temple to handle follow-up matters. He summoned the victim's family to question them and collect the body, etc., and then he was thinking of coming to thank Qin Yaoguang.

"The eldest princess."

Dai Zhilong rode on his horse, holding the whip and bowing, saying respectfully: "I thank Your Highness for your help today."

Whether it was taking care of the family members in Wenxinhou's mansion, allocating manpower to help him solve the case, or discovering the murderer Yan Shiyan, it was all thanks to her.

Guyu lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Qin Yaoguang said with a smile: "Master Dai, there is no need to be so polite. It's just a small favor."

Seeing that he didn't move, Qin Yaoguang asked, "My Lord, do you have anything else to do?"

Dai Zhilong pondered for a moment and asked, "I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if Your Highness could consider it?"

Seeing that he was serious, Qin Yaoguang said seriously, "Master Dai, please speak."

Dai Zhilong bowed again and said, "I would like to invite the third son of your family to come to the Dali Temple to serve as an advisor. I wonder if Your Highness would allow it?"

Lishi means "internship".

Qin Yaoguang took a while to react before realizing that he wanted Yan Shiyan to go to the Dali Temple for an internship.

She was happy for Yan Shiyan from the bottom of her heart, knowing that this was exactly what he was interested in.

However, I can't agree to it so easily.

Things that are too easy to get always attract less attention.

After a moment's silence, Qin Yaoguang said, "This matter is worth discussing. Brother Yan is still young and is studying in the academy."

"Your Highness, I await your good news."

Dai Zhilong thought that the princess was reluctant to let her go, so he did not insist any further. He took his leave and rode away.

The only person in the same carriage with Qin Yaoguang was Yan Jinyin, and three boys followed closely behind in another carriage.

They only saw Dai Zhilong and thought that he might have come to express their gratitude.

After entering the Princess's Mansion, Qin Yaoguang helped Guyu get out of the car and said to Yan Shiyan, "Brother Yan, please follow your mother to walk in the garden."

"Yes."
