in the cell.

"...I...I recruited..."

Chu Yan paused for a moment while holding the tea.She raised her head from the tea bowl, smiled at the jailer who was sweating profusely from the torture of the prisoner, put down the tea bowl and said, "The jailer has worked hard."

"It's a villain's honor to serve the princess."

Ignoring the cell boss, Chu Yan walked up to the tortured prisoner, who was half breathed, and said, "Is it Liu Ji Liu Yuancheng, the son of Yangwei General Liu, who sent you here?"

"...Yes...cough cough..."

"What did Liu Yuancheng send you here for?"

"...Assassinate...Assassinate the princess...Destroy...Destroy the marriage..."

"How did you get the equipment and ambush them?"

"...Liu...Ji...arrange...for us...an..."

"No!" Chu Yan yelled coldly, "Liu Yuancheng sought out the second wife in private, and the second wife was ordered by him! The accomplice is also Young Master Yan!"

"...It's... Liu Ji...and the second husband...people...mother...mother and son...conspired...to...kill the princess...to eradicate...hua...huafu..."

"Oh." Chu Yan nodded and said, "Okay, sign for him."

The cell boss obeyed and asked the prisoner to sign and draw a pledge.

After interrogating the prisoner, Chu Yan didn't want to stay in such a place any longer, so she turned around to leave, and the cell boss followed behind her.

"My lord, are these two still alive?" In the first half of the night, one had already been tortured to death.

"Kill it." Chu Yan lifted her skirt and walked up the steps, but met Hua'an who had been standing at the door for some time with a sullen face.

"Who are you! How dare you trespass in the prison!" The prison chief exclaimed, "Come here—"

"It's none of your business here." Chu Yan raised his hand and stopped the jailers who were about to attack, "Go down."

The cell boss took the lead and retreated.

Chu Yan walked up to Hua'an, squinted his eyes, and said in an unhappy tone as always: "Hua Crow, what are you doing here?"

"Chu Zhongci, the lord of Anhe County." Hua An looked at Chu Yan, and said with a half-smile, "You really mean it."

"Hey." Chu Yan smiled indifferently, and walked out, "What's wrong with me?"

"You tortured and extorted a confession, and what you made was a false confession. A person who claims to be a benevolent gentleman is so cruel and bloody, even in order to solve the trouble of the marriage contract, he did not hesitate to frame his own county horse captain—oh, No, the future captain of the county horse." Hua An sneered at her, "Is this your so-called ideal of 'disobeying the fate, wanting to fight against the sky'? When you are full of anger and criticize those cruel and corrupt officials, have you thought about doing it yourself? A despicable act like theirs?"

"Flower Crow," Chu Yan stopped and looked back at her, "I can't help myself. I will not let others control my life, even if it is His Majesty, my father, or even the people of the world. .”

"If what I have done is really against the way of heaven, then let heaven take me in." She sneered, and said these words slowly and firmly.

"Chu Zhongci, when you don't leave anyone alive, you should also think about your future fate." Hua An flicked his sleeves, didn't bother to talk to Chu Yan, and left first.

Chu Yan looked at Hua'an's back, looked up at the rising sun, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and sighed softly: "This is another new day, the future is still very long, I may not lose."

The Huafu was besieged by unknown assassins, and both the eldest lady and the second lady died on the spot.Hua Junhou was furious, and ordered the prefect to find out the truth and return the two wives to their innocence.And a reward is offered, if anyone with clues provides information, they can come to Huafu to receive a thousand taels of silver.And Chu Yan, the princess of Anhe County, who was a guest in Huafu, went to the jail to interrogate the key criminals in person, declaring that he wanted to seek justice for Huaxun.

When Hua Xun returned to the mansion, the mourning hall of Hua Mansion had been properly arranged.Chief Hou Shi and Hua Junhou were discussing matters in the lobby, and the coffin was placed on the east hall.When Hua Xun entered the door, Du Juan and Ci Guqiang greeted her with vigor, especially Ci Gu who had served her personally for a while when she was young, her eyes were very red, but she didn't know how sincere the tears were.

The white silk cloth and the white flowers and white paper were stretched out, and Hua Xun's tears that had just stopped were drawn up again.

After all, Huadu is a foreigner, so it's not easy to comfort him in front of everyone.

"Miss, do you want to take a bath first, or go to see Junhou?" Du Juan saluted Hua Xun and Hua Du, and asked.

Hua Xun's eyes were hot, her nose was sore, and she choked up, "No need. Have you found Hua Yan?" She was most concerned about this matter.

"This..." Du Juan and Cigu looked at each other, but no one answered.

"Did you come back?" Hua Xun is such a smart person, he knew that Hua Yan must have been found by seeing this.But Du Juan and Ci Gu refused to answer, fearing that the result of Hua Yan's return would not be as she imagined, "Is he in the East Hall?"

"Yes." The two replied.

Hua Xun was furious and pushed the two away, regardless of their obstruction, she rushed to the east hall angrily.Du Juan saw Hua Xun's posture of wanting to settle accounts with Hua Yan, so she quickly gave Cigu a wink and told her to call Junhou over.Hua Du was not annoyed at being left out, but she was worried that Hua Xun would lose her mind because of hatred in her heart, so she followed Hua Xun to the East Hall.

The east hall was completely white.White silk, white cloth and white lanterns, all the things for the funeral are ready.The two attendants at the bottom of the steps were also wearing white filial piety, with white cloth strips tied on their foreheads. They saw Hua Xun approaching with a cold face from a distance, and thought that there was a little master in the east hall, and one of them wanted to run in to report. But I heard a cold shout: "Stop!"

The attendant knelt down in shock and said, "Master."

Hua Xun felt the wind on the soles of his feet, skipped the two of them, and went up the steps into the east hall in three steps at a time.Before entering the door, I saw Hua Yan bent over and frantically trying to hide, as if she was afraid of her, but seeing that she had seen him, she straightened up again, and retreated tremblingly, saying in her mouth: "A... sister... "

Hua Xun strode forward, grabbed Hua Yan by the collar, kicked him hard on the calf, and said angrily, "Hua Yan, you dare to come back!"

Hua Yan is only 12 years old, and a frail young man. He is pampered and pampered on weekdays. He has never even been in a flower field. How can he compare to Hua Xun, who likes to grow flowers and grass since he was a child, and is an adult?He was directly kicked to the knees, grabbed Hua Xun's clothes in horror and begged for mercy: "Sister, please forgive me! Please forgive me, sister!"

"Forgive me?!" Hua Xun held down his hand, threw it away, lifted his foot and kicked him over, and laughed angrily, "When you wanted to kill me, did you ever think of giving me a life? "

Hua Yan was so frightened that she kept backing away, crawling on the ground, weeping, and screamed: "I dare not... Sister is wronged! Sister is wronged!"

Hua Xun was even more furious, clenched his fist and raised his hand to grab Hua Yan and beat him.Suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist, Hua Xun turned around and glared, but seeing that the person was Hua Du, most of his anger disappeared immediately, but he was dissatisfied and said: "Why did you stop me, Xie Yu?! He killed me Mother!"

"I...I didn't..." Hua Yan hid aside, trembling, staring at Hua Xun in fear.

"He hasn't been convicted yet." Hua Du glanced at Hua Yan lightly, shook his head and said.

"Didn't you see the second lady pointing at us with a bow and arrow?!" Hua Xun said in disbelief.

"Nizi!" Hua Junhou's angry reprimand came from outside the door, and then Hua Junhou came in with Chang Shi and Du Zhong.

When Hua Xun saw Hua Junhou, she felt very wronged and wanted to cry, but she held back tears welling in her eyes, looking so pitiful.She saluted with trembling voice: "I have seen my father."

"Ask Tang." Marquis Hua looked at her pitifully, with a haggard face, "Get up. It's my father's fault that he failed to protect you and your mother well, causing you to suffer so much. "

"Father..." Hua Xun had a sore nose and bit her lip, not knowing what to say.

"Help me, Father! Sister, she is going to kill me! Help me, Father!" Seeing Hua Junhou coming, Hua Yan hurriedly knelt and crawled to Hua Junhou's feet, begging for mercy, "Ah Zhi doesn't know what is wrong with me. What's wrong, sister must kill me..."

"Nizi!" Hua Junhou didn't shake Huayan, but said angrily, "Quickly confess your mistakes to your sister!"

Hua Du looked at Hua Junhou's posturing, her eyes turned cold, but she didn't speak, just stood quietly.

"Father, he conspired with the second wife to kill mother, you—" Hua Xun looked at Hua Junhou and Hua Yan in disbelief.She was halfway through speaking, and suddenly she wanted to understand why Hua Yan was here, and Hua Junhou had only rushed over now.This is not Hua Yan who sneaked back by himself. Hua Junhou already knew that Hua Yan was here. Not only did he know, but he didn't intend to accuse Hua Yan.

"Sister..." Hua Yan cried sadly, "I know that since I was a little sister, I didn't like Ah Zhi, but how dare Ah Zhi kill the eldest lady? Sister, I didn't... I didn't do anything, Ah Sister, don't wrong me..."

Hua Xun's face turned pale, and she could barely stand still by holding on to the table.She tremblingly said: "Father, Ah Zhi, he...it's him..."

"Ask Tang," Hua Junhou shook his head and sighed, "I've already asked Ah Zhi. This matter was done by his mother alone and has nothing to do with him. He didn't know about it at all, but was kept in the dark. I I know you don't like Ah Zhi, but this matter is of great importance, and it is definitely not what you think. Ah Zhi is only twelve years old, and he would not dare to do such a thing even if he had the courage. You misunderstood him..."

Hua Xun watched Hua Yan look at her in horror, as if she was very afraid of her.A frail young man with red lips and white teeth, crying like pear blossoms with rain.At this time, I was still young and ignorant, how could I do such a shocking thing?Besides, even if Hua Yan dared, it was impossible to mobilize those archers and transfer the servants in the mansion.

but……

No but.She saw the seriousness written on Hua Junhou's face.

She suddenly felt that the world was spinning, all of this happened too suddenly, without warning, and she didn't know why things had developed to such a point.She desperately glanced at Hua Junhou's expression, and Hua Yan's crying face, and finally froze in Huadu's eyes full of deep worry, her eyes darkened, her body softened, and she lost control and fell into a soft embrace. middle.
