As soon as Yan Qingchuan came out of Mingluan Hall, Xie Yu'an greeted him, "Did the emperor make things difficult for you?"

Gongsun Zan glared at her, "Who allowed you to call Your Majesty like that!"

Xie Yu'an said silently, the evil feudal society.

Yan Qingchuan didn't say anything, but said flatly: "Leave the palace first."

The three of them returned on the same road, but met a sedan chair halfway, Xie Yu'an thought it was some concubine, but a few seconds later, he saw the sedan chair stopped directly in front of them, the curtain was raised, and a handsome man The middle-aged man got out of the sedan chair with the help of the palace servants.

The middle-aged man was dressed in black casual clothes, tall and tall, with an extraordinary bearing. With a smile on his lips, he took two steps towards Yan Qingchuan, only to see that his right foot was slightly lame, and he was actually disabled.

"Qing Chuan, I haven't seen you for a few months, but it looks like I've lost a lot of weight."

Yan Qingchuan bowed and saluted, with strict etiquette, but Xie Yu'an could see the sincere respect from her eyebrows and eyes, without perfunctory, which made her curious about the identity of the man.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Lao, is caring, and it's okay to be dismissed."

Prime Minister, the lame man in front of him is actually the current prime minister. Xie Yu'an remembered that the book didn't write much about this person. The author only mentioned in a few words that the prime minister Sheng Huaimin was a friend of Yan's father. After that, he was an official in the same dynasty for several years, and the friendship was deep. Sheng Huaimin's foot injury was caused by his desperate efforts to save his father when his strict father was assassinated one year.

When Yan Qingchuan joined the Qingtian Division and was later promoted to the Minister of State, he also had Sheng Huamin's help. It was mentioned in the book that Yan Qingchuan compared Sheng Huamin to his foster father, which shows the deep relationship between the two parties.

"Brother Huaimin, you're just giving preference to one another, why don't you care about the old man's back disease?" Gongsun Zan laughed loudly.

"Brother Gongsun, what are you talking about? Sheng got a few jars of good wine recently and reserved them for you. When you are free, come to my house and we will have a drink."

"It's easy to say, brother Gongsun has already talked about this. Even if you don't have time, you have to find time, but you have to wait until the last two cases are closed." When he said the last sentence, Gongsun Zan's eyebrows showed a sad look.

Sheng Huaimin said clearly: "Is it the case of the nursery rhyme with blood characters and the case of Mr. Wei Wei?"

Gongsun Zan nodded, "That's right, His Majesty called us into the palace for this reason, and asked us to find the murderer as soon as possible and calm the panic in Kyoto."

"If there is anything Sheng can do to help, brother Gongsun feel free to mention it."

Gongsun Zan waved his hand and joked, "Brother Sheng's ability to govern the world is far beyond my reach, but to solve the case, Brother Sheng can only be regarded as a layman."

Sheng Huaimin smiled and said nothing, turned to Xie Yu'an and asked, "Who is this girl?"

Just as Xie Yu'an was about to speak, Yan Qingchuan pulled her behind him and answered for her: "This person is a new police officer from the Qingtian Division, and this time he will accompany us to present the case face-to-face."

Sheng Huaimin tilted his head slightly, wanting to look at Xie Yu'an, "This girl looks familiar, it seems that Sheng has met somewhere."

"My lord prime minister, I'll take my leave when I still have important work to do." After Yan Qingchuan finished speaking, he dragged Xie Yu'an away first.

Xie Yu'an said in a daze, "Master Yan, why don't you let me talk to the prime minister, he won't eat me."

Yan Qingchuan stood still and looked at her expressionlessly, "Yes, he won't eat you, but let him recognize you, do you think you have something good to eat?"

Xie Yu'an still didn't react, and looked a little confused.

Yan Qingchuan ridiculed: "Are you really a nobleman who forgets things so much that you stole them into his house and still don't recognize the master's house?"

After being reminded by this, Xie Yu'an suddenly remembered, isn't it true, the little monkey in the original body finally stole to the prime minister's mansion, which attracted Qing Tiansi to dispatch and arrest her.

She touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment and said, "Didn't I change my mind and start a new life?"

Yan Qingchuan didn't say anything more, and then the two returned to Qingtian Division. Due to the sudden case of Wei Wei and the spies in the division, they couldn't rush to Kaiyang County to investigate, so they had to send Xu Jin there.

But right now, the spy should be found out as soon as possible, so as to find out the real culprit behind Weiwei's murder. For this reason, Xie Yu'an thought of a way, which is to let the spy jump out by himself.

The two summed it up, and immediately called together the people who had been involved in the nursery rhyme case in blood, and declared straightforwardly that they had grasped the direct evidence that the murder of Mr. Wei Wei was not done by the murderer of the nursery rhyme case, and found clues to the real murderer. It has not been submitted to the Ministry of Punishment yet. I hope that the person who betrayed Qing Tiansi will come back from his way, stand up and admit his mistakes, so that he can be dealt with leniently. If he persists in his obsession, he will be severely punished afterwards.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, with different expressions.

Yan Qingchuan looked around the crowd and said, "One night, I only give you one night to think about it, and tomorrow I will hand over all the clues and evidence to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

In the quiet room, only the heavy breathing of the people and the echo of Yan Qingchuan's ultimatum remained.

......

It was night, and the lights in the remaining houses of Qingtian Division had not been turned off, and the people inside were all buried in their work. Occasionally, the sound of footsteps of patrolling guards could be heard in the atrium. At this time, a black shadow flashed from the dark place under the tree Then quickly drilled into the dossier room.

He shuttled among the various bookshelves, and then found the volume marked with the word Wei Wei. After quickly flipping through it, he immediately leaned down on the table and wrote a secret letter, and opened the window and blew a melodious chirp.A carrier pigeon landed on the window sill, and he was about to bind the letter, but saw the torches outside the house shining brightly into the sky, the door was suddenly kicked open, and many Qingtian captains rushed in one after another, the terrified face of the man in black was illuminated by the flames. Clearly.

Yan Qingchuan stepped into the room, and even though the man in black was covering his face, she recognized him from his exposed eyebrows and eyes.

The third-rank commander of the Qingtian Division, Gu Qifeng.

Yan Qingchuan smiled coldly: "I still thought you were cautious and suspicious, but I never imagined that you could be so impatient." Without waiting for Gu Qifeng to respond, she continued to sarcastically say: "That's right, if you are a thoughtful person, how could you be so impatient?" Let your behind-the-scenes master be able to learn from it, and let us find the flaw."

Gu Qifeng's pupils shrank, and he was about to swallow the letter. Xie Yu'an was the closest to him. She charged up and slammed into Gu Qifeng. After knocking him to the ground, she snatched the secret letter from his hand.

"Wuji Pavilion..." Xie Yu'an read the secret letter while reading it.

After she finished reading, she knocked on Gu Qifeng's forehead, "Are you stupid? Who sent the secret letter to whom? I'm afraid no one will find out, right?"

Gu Qifeng was pressed to the ground, he stared at Xie Yu'an viciously, and then smiled suddenly: "Then you have to ask Master Ling, I always follow her orders."

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, Gongsun Zan and Ling Yan rushed over after hearing the news.

Gongsun Zan pushed aside the crowd and said loudly, "Let me see who betrayed Qing Tiansi."

Ling Yan also followed him into the room, and the moment she saw Gu Qifeng, she frowned in shock and said, "Gu Qifeng! How could it be you!"

Xie Yu'an couldn't tell whether Ling Yan was acting, so she said tentatively: "Just now Gu Qifeng bluntly said that everything was ordered by you."

Ling Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide, completely lost her usual self-confidence and composure, and said incredulously, "What?! I instructed, Gu Qifeng! You are less bloody, what did I order you?!"

As she said that, she couldn't help but rushed forward, grabbed Gu Qifeng by the collar and said, "Say! Why do you slander me! How do I treat you normally? Now you want to pour dirty water on my head, you How courageous!"

This matter is no small matter, ranging from being exiled and expelled from Daqi, to beheading, and implicating the whole family.Xie Yu'an vaguely remembered that Ling's father was a high-ranking official in the imperial court. If Ling Yan was confirmed as a spy, Ling's father might also be implicated by this, so it's not surprising that she was so excited.

Seeing the scene getting more and more chaotic, Gongsun Zan frowned, and suddenly shouted, "Enough!"

"Secretary Qingtian always gives evidence. You say that Ling Yan is the mastermind behind the scenes. What evidence do you have?" Gongsun Zan squinted at Gu Qifeng, showing coercion all over his body.

Gu Qifeng said leisurely: "If you don't believe me, you can go to Lord Ling's room and search. There is a secret letter between her and Wuji Pavilion."

Ling Yan said angrily: "Okay, okay, you knew that there would be a day when you would be discovered, so you left a backhand early to frame me, Gu Qifeng, I treat you well, and I have no grievances or enmities with you." , why are you so vicious!"

Gu Qifeng said indifferently: "Master Ling, we have been exposed, let's just arrest him, maybe Mr. Siwei can still remember his old friendship and intercede for us in front of His Majesty."

Ling Yan's eyes were about to burst, but right now she had nothing to do with Gu Qifeng.

Gongsun Zan's face was heavy. Although he didn't have a deep friendship with Ling Yan, he didn't think that Ling Yan would betray Qing Tiansi for no reason, but he had already let go of what he said earlier, and now that everyone was watching, he could only temporarily separate Ling Yan and Gu Qifeng. All in custody.

The noisy Qing Tiansi finally calmed down, Ling Yan and Gu Qifeng were locked in the dungeon, waiting for interrogation in the morning.

Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an were walking back home, Yan Qingchuan looked pensive.

Xie Yu'an asked: "Master Yan thinks Ling Yan was slandered?"

Yan Qingchuan stopped and asked her back: "How do you see what I'm thinking?"

Xie Yu'an bent his eyes and smiled, revealing the faint dimples at the corners of his mouth, "Maybe I have a spiritual connection with Mr. Yan?"

Yan Qingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and warned, "Stop smiling."

"Hey, okay, Lord Yan says what he says."

"Let's have a good chat with Ling Yan tomorrow." Yan Qingchuan said wearily. Recently, many troublesome things have come one after another, and she hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Seeing Yan Qingchuan's tired and sleepy appearance, Xie Yu'an couldn't help but feel distressed, so he stepped forward and said courteously: "Master Yan, would you like me to give you a massage? I was once taught the essentials by a blind massage master, and I have a deep understanding of massage. surgery, let me press it for you, and keep you refreshed and radiant the next day."

Yan Qingchuan took two steps back in disgust, "No."

Xie Yu'an chased after her, "Try it, try it, Master Yan, it's very comfortable."

She won't admit that she has some intentions to take advantage of the opportunity to recharge her batteries.

The next day, Yan Qingchuan didn't care about Xie Yu'an, who was snoring and sleeping heavily. Recently, she only slept for five or six hours a day, and Xie Yu'an followed her busy, only sleeping for a few hours, and now she had two bruises.

She walked out of Yan's mansion with light steps, and then quickly came to the prison of Qingtian Division.In the dark and cold dungeon, Ling Yan was placed in a relatively clean and bright cell on the first floor. She sat on the stone bed with her clothes on and closed her eyes to rest, and there was untouched food in front of the cell door.

Yan Qingchuan stood still in front of her prison door, and said calmly: "Are you going on a hunger strike to show your innocence?"

Ling Yan opened her eyes suddenly, and said indifferently: "What are you doing here?"

Yan Qingchuan cut to the chase: "I know you are not a spy."

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, then said in astonishment: "You...why do you believe me?"

Yan Qingchuan calmly analyzed, "You have no reason to do this. You come from a prominent background, and you have a lot of power and status. If you have any reason to fall into the hands of others and be threatened by others, with your temperament, you would rather die with the other party than break the net." Swallow your breath and be at his mercy."

Ling Yan sneered: "You do understand me."

Facing the cynicism, Yan Qingchuan didn't react, and continued: "I will find out the person behind Gu Qifeng sooner or later, and you can only bow down here for the time being."

Ling Yan frowned, and looked at Yan Qingchuan through the gap in the cell door, with complicated eyes, "Why did you help me, now is the best time for you to get rid of me. Old Gongsun will abdicate in a few years, Without me, the position of captain will naturally be yours."

Yan Qingchuan shook his head, as if unwilling to waste time talking with Ling Yan, she said concisely: "Tell me, how much do you know about Gu Qifeng?"

Ling Yan said bitterly: "He was sent by my father to assist me, and it is precisely because of this that I trust him."

"I understand, Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry should come here after hearing the news." After Yan Qingchuan finished speaking, he heard the faint voice of a middle-aged man coming from above the dungeon.

"Where is Yan'er! Where is Yan'er?!"
