The lady of a good match

Chapter 97 Doubts and Clues

As soon as Lin Chuan's words came out, Chen Xiang's expression froze, and he looked at Yan Qing who had already lifted his palm:

"Young master... You have asked people to investigate the matter of the young lady's assassination, but there is no clue. Why don't we investigate in another direction?"

Yan Qing nodded, but her expression was somewhat helpless:

"If the Xue family intervenes, there is a high probability that Mrs. Tang is behind it... But I don't understand. If it is really the Tang family, what is their motive? And after so long, it is difficult to find evidence, so I Let Jing Mo come and help us, and see if we can find anything..."

In my impression, the Xue family has no bad entanglements with the Yan family...

Lin Chuan pondered for a while and said:

"Master Tang and Mrs. Tang have always had a grudge against your doting on Mrs. Tang. They feel that Mrs. Tang is a male wife who is above the head of Mr. Yan's family. Moreover, Mrs. Tang has never paid attention to such a dude as Mrs. Tang, so ...I think this is their motive, the young lady is just a husband and wife, and she is the orphan of a criminal minister, and she has no support for him except you, the young master. Even if something happens to the young lady, there is nothing to do without conclusive evidence..."

After Lin Chuan finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited carefully for Yan Qing's reaction. In fact, everyone can see these facts clearly. The grass on the grave has grown taller.

Chen Xiang also echoed after listening:

"Lin Chuan is right. The Eldest Young Master left home. Mrs. Tang obviously wants Young Master Tang to take more control of the Yan family's property, but you gave the right to the Young Madam. They dare not target you, Young Master, but they will target the Young Madam."

"..."

Yan Qing didn't know if it was because he had taken people's hearts too seriously in his two lifetimes, even with these problems, could it be enough to kill a person?Still my own.

He also wanted to kill Yan Minghuan, but he endured it for the sake of the overall situation... He didn't expect to kill his lover when he was thinking about whether to forgive their sins in the previous life!

That being the case, don't blame him for being cruel!Tangfu, the Xue family, if it is found out that his wife's assassination was related to them, he vowed to expel Tangfu from the Yan family tree and make the Xue family pay the price!

"Master..."

Lin Chuan looked worriedly at the people who suddenly looked cold, maybe they said something wrong, although what they said was objective and true, but in the end the Tang family is still the Yan family...

"I'm fine, you say I know it well...you're right, I'm too tolerant, so that I think they shouldn't be too bad..."

Sure enough, the person who pushed the Yan family into the abyss in the previous life is absolutely unforgivable.

"Do you want to tell the young lady about this?"

Chen Xiang asked in a low voice, saying it would definitely irritate the young lady.

Yan Qing pondered for a while, then nodded: "Speak, let me tell you, you don't need to worry about it, pay more attention to the connection between Tangfu and Xue's family, which has been neglected before, and pay attention from now on."

He promised Wei Shuhan that he would discuss things together.

Lin Chuan and Chen Xiang nodded one after another: "Understood."

"Okay, let's go down... I'll go to my father's study, and the young lady will ask him to find me when he comes back."

After Yan Qing finished speaking, he got up and walked out. Although the Xue family rarely had any public relations with the Yan family, especially after his father left, apart from Mrs. Tang's secret connection with her natal family, the Yan family had almost no contact with the Xue family on the surface. up.

But he remembered that his father's study had some notes about Xue's family. This was his father's habit, and he would write down some records of intersections when dealing with or related to relatives, so as to facilitate the communication between people and the world.

As night fell, Wei Shuhan had a good conversation with Mr. Tang for a long time before leaving. He declined Tang Zheng's carriage to send him back, and planned to walk back by himself. The distance was not too far for his walking distance.

The weather is just right, the street is very lively, you can buy some snacks that Qing'er likes to go home, despite the old-fashioned appearance of that person, he unexpectedly likes to eat snacks, the person who eats snacks is very cute.

It's just that he had only been walking on the street for a while before he realized that he was being followed by a tail. Although he didn't know who the other party was, since he was following so blatantly, he just reluctantly waited for a while.

In a dark alley with few people on the road, Wei Shuhan stood half-closed, calmly waiting for the people following him to appear.

The person who followed them into the dark alley did not speak. The two were of similar height and temperament. They were covered in black robes and ordinary clothes with only a pair of eyes exposed. After meeting each other, they attacked directly.

"Humph!"

Wei Shuhan snorted softly, and the long sword was drawn out of its sheath to face him. In the long and dark alleyway, there were flashes of swords and swords, and there were sparks from the entanglement of flying figures and swords.

There have been dozens of confrontations between the lightning and the flint.

One round ended with Wei Shuhan's long sword sweeping head-on with a sharp sword aura to force people back. The not-so-spacious venue made it difficult for the opponent to resist or dodge. He raised his sword to bear it, and soon he let out a muffled groan Taking a step back, I was very surprised by Wei Shuhan's strength.

Wei Shu, who was more than capable, looked at them coldly, pointed his long sword forward and said coldly:

"Twin swordsmanship... who are you?"

Although the cooperation between the two is not perfect, and it is only in the initial stage, but he is sure that they are using the twin swordsmanship. He has seen it in his previous life, otherwise he would not be able to recognize such a small swordsmanship.

The two people on the opposite side were obviously taken aback by his recognition. They originally wanted to attack again, but they stopped. They took a step back and confronted him again, as if wondering how Wei Shuhan would recognize their swordsmanship. After all, people who practice this kind of swordsmanship rare.

Wei Shuhan's tone was heavy: "I'll ask again, who are you?"

The two didn't answer, but looked at him vigilantly. After a little hesitation, they glanced at each other, retracted their swords and quickly exited the dark alley, their figures leaping lightly into the night.

"Don't chase."

Wei Shuhan said something as if talking to himself, and the hidden guard who was waiting for an opportunity in the dark jumped back after crossing a roof.

Wei Shuhan put his sword back into its sheath, patted his clothes and walked out. The street not far from the alleyway was still lively.

Those two people were obviously here to test him, and they came prepared, even if they chased him, they would not be able to catch up, and they might fall into a trap. If there is really some conspiracy, it is better to stop quietly than take the initiative to attack when the situation is unclear. .

In his previous life, he also encountered two masters with extremely high attainments in twin swordsmanship, but that was many years later, and he had already become a great general with outstanding military exploits... Could the two who just appeared be the two in his previous life?

Those two people in the previous life were the bodyguards of King Chang'an, and their identities were extremely mysterious. Like Jing Mo, they never showed their faces. They usually wore one black and one white soft armor, and they entered and exited together as if they were each other's shadows. The highest level of swordsmanship, if the two practitioners cannot achieve inseparable, this set of swordsmanship will be a burden after all.

He also met Dijun with them on a whim during a winter hunt...

If these two people are really the two people they met in the previous life, now King Chang'an has... What does it mean that his two guards came to disturb him?Instigated or spontaneous action?

If they were personal guards, they should know that King Chang'an absolutely did not want them to do this...

In his previous life, he only knew that King Chang'an had such a pair of powerful guards, but he didn't investigate deeply, and King Chang'an seldom returned to Beijing, so he forgot about it when he was in Nanhan City. It was the sudden appearance of a person that made him react.

But if you think about it seriously, with the current strength of the two just now, it is normal for them to become masters who can defeat thousands of troops after many years...

Assuming that they are the guards of King Chang'an, what is the motive for such actions?What kind of action will he take after being recognized by him?

Although he was full of doubts, he still carefully bought many snacks that Yan Qing liked to eat.

It was late at night when Wei Shuhan returned to Yan's mansion with several packs of snacks. The lanterns were hung high at the gate of Yan's mansion. After entering the door and walking back to Qingfeng Pavilion, Chen Xiang told him that Yan Qing was still in Master Yan's study, and they were all in a daze. It's been a long time, and Lin Chuan sent some snacks, but they didn't come out to help...

Chen Xiang bowed: "The young master said that the young lady will go look for him when you come back."

Wei Shuhan didn't say anything, nodded and put down his things, then walked towards Master Yan's study.

As soon as he walked to the door of Master Yan's study, he smelled a moldy smell coming from inside that was peculiar to paper objects that had been dusty for a long time.

"Qing'er..."

He waved his hand in front of him and stepped in. The air became stuffy, and there were flying dust. The man in white was nestled in a corner of the study, and beside him were several wooden doors that hadn't been opened for many years. Yan Qing sat on the floor next to a wooden box, concentrating on opening a notebook with yellowed edges and moldy jagged edges.

There are scraps of paper on the hem of the clothes.

"you're back……"

After seeing him, he raised his head and said a word, then lowered his head and continued to look.

"Young Madam, you are back..."

Lin Chuan, who was helping at the side, was trying to remove the last wooden cabinet from the high bookshelf. His body was dusty, and his light-colored clothes were messed up by rummaging through things. Even his head and face were covered with dust...

"You..." Wei Shuhan frowned, raised his hand and used his sleeve to drive away the dust in front of his eyes, and said:

"Let's call it a day today, Linchuan, go clean yourself up, and then prepare hot water for the young master..."

"okay."

Lin Chuan shook his head, looked up and down, turned around and went out, Wei Shuhan walked to Yan Qing's side, the man was not much better, his white shirt was full of stains, his little face was dirty, His eyelashes were covered with dust, and his usually white paws were also dark. There were pastries beside him, but it didn't look like much, more than half of them were left.

Wei Shuhan flicked up his clothes and came to his side, took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, then leaned closer and asked:

"Qing'er, what are you looking for? It's so embarrassing for such a mobilizer."

Yan Qing turned her head and kissed him on the cheek and replied:

"These are my father's notes in the early years, remembering many things we don't know... Since my father left, my mother wanted to keep the study room as it was when my father was alive. The books in it were damaged for a long time. There are many, I have to tidy them up tomorrow..."

"I originally wanted to search for some records about the relationship between the Xue family and the Yan family, and I became addicted to it. My father traveled all over the world when he was young..."

After all, I put the notes in my hand together with bookmarks. From the top to the bottom, several boxes are arranged according to the time written by my father. The lower the box is, the farther away from his memory. The government is in charge of the family business, but his father has been to many places before he got married... Maybe he will get some useful information if he carefully checks it out.

Wei Shuhan blocked the kiss and went back:

"I'll watch it with you tomorrow. I'm also interested. It's very late now, let's rest first, go out to take a shower and then eat something. Chen Xiang said that you have been cooped in for a long time, and you are so bored."

"it is good."

Yan Qing stretched her waist, blinked her eyes, turned sideways and rubbed her sore eyes on the clean clothes on his chest, and then said:

"Shuhan, I met Xue Rong, the head of the Xue family today."

"Huh? The Xue family, Mrs. Tang's natal family, why, he was rude to you?"

In his impression, judging from his previous life, the Xue family was very low-key, at least he had never met face to face, so he didn't have much impression of the Xue family, but he also knew that Yan Minghuan relied heavily on the Xue family when he later took charge of the Yan family.

"This is the territory of the Yan family, he is not arrogant enough to be rude to me, Yan Qing shook his head, then changed the subject and said seriously:

"Xue Rong knows about your meritorious service in northern Xinjiang last year."

"..." Wei Shuhan's mood that had just been relaxed suddenly tightened, and his eyes turned cold:

"Mrs. Tang and Yan Minghuan don't know how he knows?"

Yan Qing shook her head:

"I also find it strange, so I asked Linchuan and the others to investigate, and sent a letter to Jingmo to ask him for help. Apart from the relationship with Mrs. Tang, the Xue family occasionally had some relations with the Yan family when their father was alive. The intersection of business may make people visit my father, after my father left, this kind of polite relationship was basically broken... So I also wonder how Xue Rong knows about the things that we have almost no rumors."

Wei Shuhan remained silent, his thoughts were running fast in his mind, as if there was something looming but he just couldn't grasp it...

Seeing his gloomy face, Yan Qing took his hand again to remind:

"Today he was chatting with me alone, asking about you... Shuhan, the Xue family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, be careful, although I may be a little rude to ask like this, but do you think it will be like the Wei family? I'm looking for my father's relics now to find out if there were any frictions and entanglements in the dealings between the Xue family and the Yan family."

"No...don't know..."

Wei Shuhan originally wanted to say no, because he had never dealt with the Xue family directly in his previous life, and there was nothing about the Xue family when he re-investigated the Wei family's affairs in the future. Besides, the Wei family had been in the capital before the accident. , Xue's family is in Fusang City, and he remembered that no one from Xue's family was an official in the court, nor was anyone in the army... eight poles can't reach one piece.

However, when Yan Qing asked this question, he hesitated again. Originally, things in his previous life were full of doubts and fog. Many things may have happened, but he didn't know about the connection...

If Yan Minghuan colluded with Gentiles and King Chang'an in his previous life, it is normal for the Xue family to be involved... The vague clues in his mind became clearer...
