Go back to ancient times to explore the case

After Cuiyu finished speaking tremblingly, she bent her knees and seemed to want to kneel down to Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan quickly supported her arm, "Don't worry, Master Yan and I will help you."

"Now, do as I say and hit me."

Cuiyu was stunned, not understanding what she meant.

Xie Yu'an repeated again, "It means literally, hit me, slap me or punch me, you choose."

"For... what, my lord?"

"You fight first, and you'll know when you're done."

Cuiyu raised her hand, but hesitated for a long time and couldn't let it go, but Qian Si seemed to be ready to come over.

Xie Yu'an couldn't help it, so he could only hurriedly said: "Then pretend to push me, hurry up."

Cuiyu did as she was told, stretched out her hand and gave Xie Yu'an a slight push on the shoulder, Xie Yu'an immediately said "Ouch", and fell straight into the pond.

"Plop—" With a sound, water splashed everywhere, and Xie Yu'an waved his limbs in the pond, shouting loudly: "Help, Lord Yan, help, I can hardly breathe, help... help."

She was right on top of the performance when she suddenly heard Yan Qingchuan's cold and indifferent voice, "The water is only up to your waist."

"Uh..." Xie Yu'an stopped struggling, she stood up slowly, the depth of the water really only reached her waist and abdomen.

She glanced at Yan Qingchuan resentfully, her eyes were angry, and then turned to scold Cuiyu, "You little girl! I was just joking with you, how dare you push me!

I am a member of the Qingtian Division. Your actions are simply despising the majesty of the department and challenging the authority of the court. You must be arrested and locked up for a few days. Master Yan, don’t you think so? "

Yan Qingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

Qian Si immediately said in a hurry: "No, don't, the two adults, it's because I didn't teach the servants in the mansion well, and I will definitely take care of her later. The two adults, with a small reward, let's go around this little maid."

Xie Yu'an was still standing in the pond, her whole body was drenched, and when the cold wind blew, she couldn't help chattering her teeth and said, "Let me ask, who are you? You're just a mere merchant, how could you have the face to let our Master Qingtian Si Shaoqing sell you?" Your face?"

Qian Si's face was extremely ugly, his mouth was vague and he wanted to struggle.

But Yan Qingchuan didn't give him another chance, and said coldly: "Since Mr. Qian is reluctant to let this maidservant go to prison, why don't you, the master, take it on her behalf?"

As soon as this remark came out, Qian Si immediately fell silent.

Xie Yu'an threw a mocking smile and saw Yan Qingchuan stretching out his hand to him.

The other party was under the backlight, as if the two met for the first time, she was slightly taken aback, then smiled and took Yan Qingchuan's hand, taking advantage of the situation to leave the pond.

Immediately, the two left Qian's mansion with Cuiyu, Xie Yu'an trembling with his arms folded on the way, shouting coldly.

Yan Qingchuan didn't say anything, but his pace accelerated.

After a while, the three returned to Qingtian Division, Xie Yu'an went to wash and changed into warm clothes, and then went to the room where Cuiyu was placed, and found a glowing red stove in the room, Yan Qingchuan and Cuiyu were sitting beside it.

She happily walked over, rubbed her hands to warm the fire and said, "Where is the stove? Why didn't I see it yesterday."

At this time, Luo Yi happened to pass by the door and heard it, and she said casually: "This one, Mr. Yan ordered someone to move it just now." After finishing speaking, she walked towards the file room while muttering, "Master Yan used to not Warm up, it seems that this year is indeed a bitterly cold year."

Xie Yu'an, who listened to these two sentences completely, thought with some uncertainty, could it be that Master Yan prepared this stove for me?

Just as she was about to ask out the doubts in her heart, Yan Qingchuan coughed twice and asked Cuiyu about Qian Si.

With a crying voice, Cuiyu took a while to tell about her life experience and the illegal activities Qian Si did.

She was originally the daughter of a tenant. Last year, due to the drought and bad crops, her family could not afford to pay the rent, so she borrowed high-interest silver from Yuan Hai. Later, the interest increased and she was unable to repay, so Yuan Hai turned around and sold her. Give money four.

This Qian Si is an animal-faced fellow who takes pleasure in beating, scolding and humiliating Cuiyu every day. Besides Cuiyu, there are many other girls who have suffered from this evil claw. It was found that the profit of doing so was very considerable, and in the past two years, they cooperated in this business of selling young women.

They will first target the impoverished woman in the family, and then use some means to force the woman's family to borrow money from Yuan Hai. They will secretly add a clause in the loan contract that if the loan cannot be repaid, the daughter in the family will be sold to pay off the debt.

Most people don't pay attention to it carefully. Even if they see it, they believe that they will repay the loan on time. Unexpectedly, from the moment they sign this contract, they have already stepped into the trap set by Qian Si and Yuan Hai. The higher the roll, the higher the price eventually became. The victim lost his family property and even his daughter.

After Yuan Hai got the deed of selling himself, Qian Si contacted the brothel and sent young and beautiful women there. In this way, a complete industrial chain of selling women was formed.

As far as Cuiyu knows, in this year alone, Yuan Hai and Qian Si sold dozens of women to the brothel, until Yuan Hai suddenly said no, Cuiyu saw the two had a big fight and broke up unhappy .

Xie Yu'an's forehead twitched after hearing this, wishing he could rush to Qian's mansion immediately and beat Qian Si violently.

She didn't know whether she fell into the water and caught the cold or was disgusted by Qian Si's animal behavior, but she just felt like vomiting in her stomach.

After Yan Qingchuan heard this, his expression was still calm, and he poured a cup of warm hot tea and handed it to Cuiyu, his voice was not loud but had a reassuring magic power, "Don't worry, Qingtian Division's duty is to protect the peace of the people and quell the grievances of the world. You will not be harmed by anyone again, and you can stay in Qingtian Division with peace of mind until we capture Qian Si and make him plead guilty."

Holding the hot tea, Cuiyu thanked her with tears in her eyes: "Thank... thank you, sir, thank you."

Yan Qingchuan was about to say something when she suddenly noticed the scorching gaze from her side. She turned her head slightly and saw that Xie Yu'an's cheeks were flushed unnaturally, and she was looking at herself with blurred eyes.

"Master Yan, I think your whole body was flooded with light just now, just like the halo of an angel, no, God, not at all, how should I put it, a fairy! Yes, the kind of radiant fairy."

Yan Qingchuan frowned, his eyes could not be described as disgusting, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

God knows that Xie Yu'an is telling the truth. As an outsider, she has always looked at Yan Qingchuan from the perspective of God, how she solves the case cleverly and decisively, how she fights wits and courage with the prisoner, and how she fights against the criminals. Victims swore to give them justice.

She knew what kind of person Yan Qingchuan was, calm and sharp, alert and intelligent, with an inviolable sense of justice and faith.

However, these cognitions are all based on the thin words in the book. It was not until just now that Xie Yu'an truly felt the charm of these qualities in Yan Qingchuan, and Yan Qingchuan, the heroine in the book, became more and more vivid in her heart.

Xie Yu'an shook his head sincerely, "Really, I'm serious, that was just a compliment from the bottom of my heart."

Yan Qingchuan ignored her, turned to Cuiyu and said, "Did Qian Si really stay in the room on the day Yuan Hai died?"

Cuiyu put down her teacup and said, "No, actually that day he just happened to go to Wanyu Pavilion to do business, so he lied that he had been in the mansion all the time because he was afraid that you would know about these things."

"Do you know where the documents and vouchers he traded with others are?"

"Under the bed in his room, there is a tin box, which is full of letters and certificates of his transactions. By the way, I also overheard that he should go to the suburban wharf to pick up people tonight. It seems that he is here to discuss cooperation with him. He is the leader of Huainan's Walking Horse Gang."

Xie Yu'an frowned and said: "The leader of the horse gang? I'm afraid this bastard wants to develop this industry to all parts of the country, so he must be arrested quickly."

Yan Qingchuan nodded, and immediately ordered people to arrange the arrest operation tonight.

At night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Qing Tiansi and his group were lying in ambush among the haystacks beside the pier. Xie Yu'an stared at the calm water, sniffed and said, "Master Yan, do you think Qian Si will be on guard against this?" , cancel tonight's meeting?"

Yan Qingchuan replied intently: "No, Qian Si is greedy for profit. Since he dared to take the risk to do this illegal activity, it shows that he is not a coward. Besides, today we found out that this matter was purely accidental. He didn't have time to inform the leader of the horse gang that he would change places to meet, even if he didn't come to meet him personally, he would send his subordinates to come to meet him."

"Just wait at ease."

Xie Yu'an sighed, thinking that Yan Qingchuan would not hesitate to talk so much to her when discussing the case.

Everyone waited for a while, and saw an awning boat appearing on the foggy and shadowy river in the distance, and a man appeared on the approach bridge of the pier, waving his hands towards the boat.

After a while, the boat docked, and four men got off the boat. After talking with the man on the approach bridge, they were about to leave. Yan Qingchuan got up immediately and gave an order, "Catch them, don't run away! .”

"Yes!"

Everyone in Qingtian Division pulled out the long sabers around their waists, and with a "shua", the silver light flickered in the cold night.

The five men froze for a moment, one of them reacted and ran away, and the remaining four drew their swords and confronted the Qingtian Division.

"I'll go after him, you guys deal with this place!" Yan Qingchuan said, and immediately chased in the direction of the fleeing man.

Xie Yu'an stretched out his hand, "Wait for me, Master Yan!" As he spoke, he also raised his legs and ran to follow Yan Qingchuan's back.

Three figures galloped one after the other in the night, and finally disappeared in a dense forest on the outskirts of the city.

Yan Qingchuan put his hands on the hilt of his sword, looked around the deep bamboo forest with a vigilant expression, and asked without turning his head, "What are you following?"

Xie Yu'an leaned on a tree to breathe heavily. She didn't think much of it at all. When she saw Yan Qingchuan running away, she followed subconsciously. She was about to answer when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall man descending from the sky from the shadow behind Yan Qingchuan, holding a A machete was about to slash at Yan Qingchuan, she narrowed her eyes, and immediately shouted: "Master Yan, be careful!"
