Chapter 689: Accountability

When it was close to noon, Wei Yanran had just bid farewell to Concubine Hai, and Qin Yenan came back excitedly on horseback.

"What's wrong, why are you so happy today?"

Wei Yanran and Qin Yenan went back together, and when they saw Qin Yenan's face full of spring breeze, they couldn't help but ask the reason, Qin Yenan endured it and didn't say anything until he reached the house.

"In the afternoon, I changed into court clothes and went to King An's Mansion with me to get people, and took Luo Hongmin to try this case together, it has been delayed for so long, the emperor has already spoken today, and the matter should be over."

Hearing this, Wei Yanran was stunned in place, not knowing what she should say, just blinking and looking at Qin Yenan with big eyes, waiting for him to give him an explanation.

Seeing Wei Yanran's appearance, Qin Yenan didn't hold back and raised his hand and scratched Wei Yanran's nose.

"Literally, the three law divisions have already summarized all the evidence, and even the previous fire in the Temple of Mercy and Grace has been found out, plus the testimony of the Wei family, Gu Chengyuan and Luo Huatong can't escape."

Wei Yanran didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but she didn't know if she could cut off the entanglement with Gu Chengyuan at once this time, she was already too tired.

"Today, the concubine Niangniang came to the house, the purpose is naturally to hope that we can help the twelve princes, and it is estimated that the palace has not been very peaceful in recent days."

Wei Yanran was naturally happy when she heard Qin Yenan's words, but the harem of the former dynasty often moved her whole body, and she still had to be cautious about Concubine Hai's visit today.

Qin Yenan didn't care when he heard this, he probably guessed it a long time ago, but he just told Wei Yanran to dress up beautifully today, and there would be a good show to watch in the afternoon.

"Isn't it a little too hasty, the triage of the three divisions is not a trivial matter, how can I participate in it?"

Wei Yanran has always been cautious in doing things, and now that the three divisions are investigating the case together, even if the progress is fast, it will take some effort, but this time, Qin Yenan got so much evidence on the first day of his tenure, which inevitably makes people wonder.

Qin Yenan looked at Wei Yanran's appearance of worrying about herself, and laughed again, "King An can use such a long time to lay out, can't I start to dismantle the stage in advance?" Dare to kidnap my son, dare to bully my daughter-in-law, and drag things out to this day are considered my incompetence. ”

It turned out that Qin Yenan was such a grudge-minded person, and even he remembered the revenge of Xiao'er being taken away before.

When Wei Yanran heard this, she restrained her smile and ate happily with Qin Yenan.

The matter should be over here, and it will not be good for anyone to consume it like this, Wei Yanran thought of it and began to prepare seriously.

She methodically took out her court clothes, and took out the holy decree that the emperor had given her before, and carefully prepared her own affairs, since Qin Yenan said that everything was almost ready, then she had to go to see the people of King An's mansion ceremoniously.

"Lord Qin let the old slave go and report it, the prince is still resting."

Knocking on the door of King An's mansion, it was the old housekeeper who had been in the mansion for many years who came to open the door, and Gu Chengyuan had a lot of eyeliner and would not know that the movements of the three law divisions were extremely fast, so he should have been prepared.

Qin Yenan and Master Lin of Dali Temple rode horses in the front, Wei Yanran sat in the sedan chair and waited patiently, and after a short time, he invited these people in, only to see Gu Chengyuan wearing a white coat and a dark cloak, standing in the main hall expressionlessly looking at the people in the courtyard. 123 Kanshu.com

"This is the document of the Three Law Divisions, and there is a trip to Prince Lao and Princess Lao."

Lord Lin is notoriously upright, he showed the stamped documents, the sentences were concise, and he seemed unwilling to say more to Gu Chengyuan.

"It's unfortunate that you came, Concubine Ai suddenly became delirious for some reason, locked herself in the Orchid Garden and refused to see anyone, this king was about to report to the court, but I didn't expect the adults to come first."

Gu Chengyuan knew that he had made a bad move this time, so he had to admit defeat, did he think that he could escape with the excuse that Luo Huatong was crazy?

Wei Yanran had been sitting in the sedan chair before and never came down, she waited outside for a while and still didn't see anyone coming, so she had to go down by herself, she was wearing court clothes today, which was a solemn beauty.

As soon as Wei Yanran entered the gate, the guards in the courtyard knelt on the ground, and her identity was worthy of this kneeling.

Raising her hand to let everyone get up, she walked straight to Qin Yenan's side, but her eyes fell on Gu Chengyuan's body, only to see her lips lightly opened, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she hit the point.

"Is the princess not showing up because of her weak heart? It doesn't matter, all this evidence is here, I will personally go and ask her to come out, otherwise how can a concubine deign to be in the residence of the deceased concubine. ”

After Wei Yanran said this, she led people directly to the Orchid Garden, and as soon as she entered the Orchid Garden, Wei Yanran was stunned by the scene in front of her.

The houses in the Orchid Garden are exquisite, but now they are nailed with wooden planks on all sides, and the doors and windows are covered with heavy and huge copper locks.

"Go to the prince to get the key, if you don't have the key, make a fire on the spot and melt this copper lock," Wei Yanran commanded the guards around him, and turned his head to look at Lord Lin who served in Dali Temple, "Lord Lin will read the results of the review of the three divisions to Princess An here, so that the people in the palace and many unjust souls can testify." ”

Wei Yanran said this on purpose, she knew that Lanyuan was Wang Meijing's residence before her death, if Luo Huatong really went crazy, she would not be locked up here, the only possibility was that Luo Huatong angered Gu Chengyuan, so he was locked up.

The guards ran to Gu Chengyuan to ask for the key, but Gu Chengyuan refused to give it to him several times, and Wei Yanran directly ordered someone to set up a brazier outside after knowing it, and made a gesture to melt the copper lock.

"Lord Qiyu, these doors and windows are all wooden, but I'm afraid that the house will catch fire before the copper lock is melted."

Wei Yanran didn't know this truth, but when she thought of Xiao'er being taken captive before, the Wei ancestral hall was burned and her heart was inevitably angry, "Burn it first, maybe King An will find out the key in a while, next to this is the lake, if the doors and windows are open, just take water from this lake and extinguish it." ”

Everyone in the world has heard that Concubine Qin is eccentric and extremely smart, and she is no less than a man, but today seeing her so serious and decisive, everyone held their breath and didn't dare to come out, busy with the things arranged by Wei Yanran.

"You can see through the window, the fire is burning in the blue sky and daytime, have you seen your old friend in the Orchid Garden?"

The fire outside the door thunderclapped, Wei Yanran, accompanied by Lu Xue, stood outside the door and spoke to Luo Huatong, the volume was controlled just right, and Luo Huatong in the room heard it clearly.

"I heard that when a person is about to die, she can see those people who have been chasing her to collect debts, I don't know if the princess has seen those people, your maids, and the people of Yichun Bofu, Luo Hongmin and Luo Gongzi are also waiting to catch up with you. You'd better hurry up and go with them, for if you live for an hour, King An will worry about an hour more. ”

Wei Yanran was outside the door Yin Yang said in a strange way, and there was a sound of things stumbling in the house, and at this moment, the housekeeper trotted all the way with the key.

"Please extinguish this brazier, the old slave has found the key."
