"Crown Prince Shen..."

The captain of Jingzhao Prefecture saluted respectfully. Chen Yan was different from other princes. He had outstanding military achievements, and even civil and military officials were polite when they saw him.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Yan stood with his hands behind his back, and the breath pressed against his body several yamen runners did not dare to look up.

"That's right. We received a report this morning. An old man in Beicheng was deliberately murdered last night. After we investigated in detail, we found that the suspect was a relative who was picked up by Prince Shen from the Five City Military Commanders last night. We wanted to take the person over for interrogation."

“Interrogation?”

If you are impatient, you will be powerful without anger.

Cold sweat appeared on the head-in-chief's face, "I'm saying a word, asking them to go over and assist in the investigation."

"You go back first, I will take someone over in two quarters of an hour."

"this……"

Chen Yan glanced at him, and the headmaster felt nervous and responded quickly, "Then I'll trouble the prince."

After they left, Chen Yan ordered people to bring the horse and go to Nancheng in person.

Song Wanyue also didn't sleep all night and kept wondering what the purpose of Wen Zhong did this.

Facing her similar face to Xu Qingwan, Chen Yan didn't feel relieved, "After going to Jingzhao Mansion, you don't have to be afraid, I will be there for everything."

"Please trouble Uncle Chen."

Chen Yan subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch her head, just like when he was a child, he touched Xu Qingwan's head countless times. He reached halfway through and reacted, calmly withdrew his hand, "Let's go."

Not long after the few people left, Xiao Yao came over in a carriage. She was thinking about Song Wanyue and Gu Yi going to Beicheng last night. Today was earlier than before.

As soon as she stepped into the door, she hurriedly called someone, "Yue'er."

Huang Gao’s wife came out of the house, “Miss Song and Young Master Gu were picked up, and she left a message saying that you should not worry.”

"Who picked me up? Where did I go?"

Huangcai's wife shook her head.

Xiao Yao's heart suddenly sank, and her face remained calm. When Huang Gao's wife went to the pastry shop in front, she called a servant from the Gu family to ask, "Where have they been?"

"I was picked up by Prince Shen and said I would go to Jingzhao Mansion."

When Xiao Yao heard about going to Jingzhao Mansion, he was panicked. He turned around and got on the carriage and told the coachman to return home quickly.

A carriage parked in the dark in the distance drove out and followed not far or near.

Xiao Yao kept urging the coachman. When she arrived at the door of the mansion, she hurried down and walked into the mansion quickly with her skirt, telling Duke Ding about Gu Yi and Song Wanyue being taken away.

After hearing this, Duke Ding was anxious, "Do you know what happened last night?"

Xiao Yao shook her head.

"Come, go and call Xiao Zheng."

Xiao Zheng was quickly called, and after hearing this, he turned around and walked out, "I'll go and see what's going on?"

"stop!"

Xiao Zheng stopped.

"Let Yao'er go with you. Remember, no matter what happens, don't be anxious and don't let others see the clues."

Xiao Zheng responded and left the mansion with Xiao Yao.

Seeing them, the carriage in the distance drove away quickly, returned to Wen's mansion, and told Wen Zhong what he saw.

"Continue to stare and see how Xiao Zheng reacts."

...

The prefect of Jingzhao looked at Song Wanyue and Gu Yi in the hall for a headache. After receiving this case, he sent someone to investigate. He soon got the news from the commander Sun, the commander of the Five City Military and Horses. He was very happy and thought that this should be the fastest murder case to be solved, but he did not expect that Chen Yan brought them the two of them.

"It's them."

The man who called someone last night was angry and proof.

There were broken wooden sticks on the ground in front of him.

There were also some people kneeling beside them, all of whom were surrounded by them last night.

Chen Yan was sitting casually on the chair aside.

The prefect of Jingzhao sneaked a glance at him, and saw that he looked faint and could not understand what he was thinking in his heart for a moment. However, if he knew that Song Wanyue was Xu Qingwan's daughter, if he did not investigate this matter clearly and wrongly accuse Song Wanyue, he, the prefect of Jingzhao, would have done his best.

A heavy beating of the gavel, "Silent."

Quiet in the lobby.

The prefect of Jingzhao looked at the man, "Did you see with your own eyes that they deliberately broke the wooden sticks that supported the house last night?"

"When I say to you, Caomin did not see it with his own eyes. Caomin heard the sound of the house collapse and came out of his home. He happened to see them walking out in a panic look. If they hadn't harmed Mr. Zhang, why didn't they save the person quickly, but instead rushed out in a hurry?"

The prefect of Jingzhao looked at Song Wanyue and Gu Yi, "Tell me, why?"

Song Wanyue presented a note, "Yesterday someone threw the note into my yard. I was eager to find the truth about that year for my mother. I saw the content above and went there without much consideration. But after I went there, I found something was wrong. The dead man was obviously alone. So how did he know that we wanted to find the servants of the Wen family back then? How did he send a message? Obviously this was a trap! After understanding this, we hurried out, and never thought that before we could reach the door, the house collapsed. We were young and scared and forgot to save people for a while, but they..."

As the topic changed, Song Wanyue pointed to the man and everyone, "After seeing the house collapsed, they did not go in to save the person. Instead, they insisted that we killed the old man. I suspect that all this was done by them, and the purpose was to blackmail our money."

"You're swearing!"

The man retorted angrily, "Although we are poor, we have a strong ambition. If we want to get the money, we will sell labor and help others. We will never use Mr. Zhang's life to blackmail your money."

“That’s, that’s…”

The rest of the kneeling people also agreed.

Song Wanyue was calm and unhurried, "Then tell me, why don't you go in and save people as soon as possible?"

"We are afraid that you will run away."

"Then blackmailed my money for Mr. Zhang?"

"you……"

The man was blocked and couldn't speak.

A faint smile appeared on Chen Yan's face, extremely light and shallow.

The prefect of Jingzhao was one or two. What Song Wanyue said made sense. When the house collapsed, she did not go in to save the person as soon as possible. This was not like what neighbors would do for many years. But when the house collapsed, she and Gu Yi were there, and there was no third person to testify to them. He also ordered people to take a closer look at the wooden stick. There was indeed trace of human damage.

This happened to be the case when Xiao Zheng and Xiao Yao came.

Seeing that the two were safe and sound, Xiao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Si also saw them and came over as usual, "Miss Xiao, Master Xiao."

"What the hell is going on?"

Xiao Yao asked anxiously.

Xiao Si whispered what happened last night, "Young Master and Miss Song should be fine, please rest assured Miss Xiao."

He stood in front of Xiao Yao, bent slightly, but said nothing else to Xiao Zheng except shouting that.
