Mrs. He couldn't pretend anymore, so she woke up quickly, and she wanted to watch He Yan deal with this matter in person.

Who knows if there is a villain who chews the root of his tongue in his ear and brings evil to himself!

"Wait, second brother, the kneeling person is not a murderer, it's your little aunt, what reason does she have to come in and set the fire, besides, can she get in alone?"

Old Madam He said bitterly.

He Yan's sharp eyes swept over the surrounding slaves, and Old Madam He's words reminded him that if there was no internal response, how could this fire burn?

"Mother said, innocent people are safe and sound, and I will never let go of the guilty!"

Mrs. He thought that her son was moved by her, and her face became arrogant, "It's good to know, then let him go!" ”

He Yan still sat still, looking coldly at Xiao Liu, who was trembling on the ground, calmly, "The smell of fire and oil, mother can't explain these two points, then this little aunt must be the murderer!" ”

When Xiao Liu heard this, he was frightened and collapsed, "Big sister, if you want to save me, you said you would save me, it's none of my business!" ”

The old lady sighed in her heart, this useless waste, the feeling is to confess herself.

She hurriedly said: "You are not a murderer, what are you afraid of, are you still afraid that your second nephew will execute you for personal gain?" ”

Xiao Liu was able to calm down as if he saw hope, and kept repeating that he was wronged.

At this time, Miss Wang San, who had not been seen for a long time, squeezed out of the crowd, knelt in front of He Yan, and hugged her mother tightly!

"Second cousin, second cousin, my mother really didn't do anything, I was hungry at night, my mother got up to make steamed cakes for me, she was not good at making a fire, so she used some fire oil, and then lit the fire, and then I wanted to make half of the steamed cakes, and the second cousin-in-law's yard was drained, and my mother rushed to help in a panic......"

She actually came early in the morning, and after learning the reason for the incident, she held back her inner mood swings and rushed back to prepare everything with the royal family before coming!

He Yan asked Erkun to take someone to check whether what Wang Niannian said was true.

"My silly daughter, what are you here for? Hurry up! Xiao Liu grabbed Wang Niannian's arm and said reproachfully.

He Yan knew that Wang Niannian was panicking, and maybe Wang Niannian would also be punished with her.

After a while, Er Kun came back with someone and shook his head at He Yan.

Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person collapsed on the ground, she thought that she would definitely die today.

He Yan waved his hand and asked people to let Xiao Liu go.

When everyone thought it was time to disperse, the guards made a new discovery.

"General, the body of a maid has been found in the grass in the garden!"

This sentence forced Xiao Liu from the edge of looseness to the cliff again!

She was so frightened that she almost didn't stand firm, but fortunately, Wang Niannian kept supporting her.

She had just looked carefully at the slaves and maids around her, but she didn't see the maid who brought her in last night.

If it depends on her, she has two lives that are not enough to die, and maybe the whole family will be beheaded all over the house!

The guards asked people to carry the body up, He Yan took a look, the deceased was cut by a sharp dagger in the throat, and it was killed with a knife, this method is like a professional killer!

The people who have some skills in the house are all their own subordinates!

On the other side, Mrs. He saw that Xiao Liu's face was wrong, so she turned her head to He Yan and said, "I don't care about the things in the yard, if you still have some filial piety, do less things that disappoint your mother!" ”

After the old lady and her party left, He Yan called all the people in the yard out and checked them one by one, and the result was that there were four maids missing.

Three of them are from Qin Nianbai's room, and the other one is the little flower sent by Mrs. He.

The servants in the house thought that Xiaohua was burned to death in the house with the second lady, and no one asked!

"Do you know what the origin of that little flower is?" He Yan asked the steward of the mansion with a cold face.

"I don't know the little one, Xiaohua is a person sent by the old lady, and the bottom is all from the old lady!" The steward bowed respectfully and said.

He Yan squinted, he already had a plan in his heart, the problem appeared in this slave named Xiaohua, as for Xiao Liu, he couldn't escape it!

A day later, the matter of the military government taking water spread in the capital.

……

As soon as Mrs. Chen and her nephew Sanwa entered the city, they were driven off the carriage by Xiaoqing. Xiao Qing thought that Qin Nianbai had an accident, and cried and fainted on the carriage several times.

The guards took her on the way back to the house, when they saw four people wearing cloaks and plain clothes approaching, and the guards were just about to take out their weapons to defend against the enemy, only to see the leader take off the cloak.

"Second lady! It's really the second lady! The guard shouted in surprise.

Xiaoqing happily hugged Qin Nianbai and said excitedly: "Madam, madam, Caihuan, it's you, it's really good, I know that those people are talking nonsense, our lady is blessed with a high star, how can she be buried in the fire!" ”

Qin Nianbai told Xiao Qing more or less about the matter, asked her to check the ghosts in the house, and asked Xiao Qing to keep it secret, not to tell them about the things she had seen, not even He Yan was allowed to say it!

After Xiaoqing left, Caihuan asked suspiciously: "Madam, the generals have already returned, why don't you let Xiaoqing tell him that we are still alive!" ”

Qin Nianbai sighed, "This is my own business, he rushed back from the border pass for me, he has already disobeyed the holy decree, how many pairs of eyes are staring at him?" If he is charged with disloyalty and filial piety, his position as a general may not be guaranteed! ”

Caihuan looked at the direction of the General's Mansion and was worried, "It's not a way for us to hide like this, if the general really wants to avenge you and kill someone, wouldn't it be a crime on top of a crime!" ”

Qin Nianbai smiled and shook his head, the matter of the secret passage was still told to her by He Yan personally, and there were no corpses of them in the house, He Yan was such a calm and calm person, he would naturally guess that they were leaving from the secret passage!

On the other hand, He Yan came to Mrs. He because of Xiaohua.

Of course, Mrs. He knew that Xiaohua was sent by Mrs. Zhou, and she naturally wanted to go back after the matter was completed.

Now that He Yan asked, she had no choice but to make up a nonsense and perfunctory.

"That slave was disobedient in the yard next door, annoying your dead ghost daughter-in-law, he was driven back a few days ago, and I didn't want to use it, so I found someone to sell it!"

He Yan saw that his mother still did not have any repentance, and he felt a little cold in his heart, he had already let people find out that the maid named Xiaohua was still in the garden of Nianbai before the fire.

Before that, he didn't come to his mother's yard, and He Yan had already guessed the intention of his mother's words.

Mother knew this servant girl, and she didn't sell it at all!

As long as Xiaohua is still in the capital, He Yan will definitely try to find her!

Recently, she has been in close contact with her mother is the eldest lady of the Zhou family!

"Mother, son believes in you, don't let your son down, if your son finds out the facts, it is indeed related to you, the meditation nunnery next to Yushan! That's where you go! ”

He Yan bowed respectfully, and said in a calm tone, which startled Old Madam He, and she stood up with a pale face.

"What did you say? I've done so much for you, but you're going to send me to the meditation nunnery, you have no conscience, you were seriously ill when you were 7 years old, and I almost wanted to cut your flesh to make medicine, do you repay your mother like this? ”

She cried and beat her chest at the same time, He Yan felt a little unbearable in his heart, he couldn't remember these things, but in the past, the mother-in-law around his mother always mentioned it to him!

He Yan took a long breath, came over and patted Mrs. He's chest, and his tone was still stiff, "If my mother admits her mistake now, I don't have to pursue it!" ”

Mrs. He thought that her selling hard work had worked, but He Yan said this, she angrily pushed He Yan aside, and scolded angrily: "Rebel, if you want to send me to Jingxin Nunnery, I will die in front of you, see what face you still have to face your ancestors and ancestors!" ”

He Yan glanced at Old Madam He in disappointment, turned around and went out.

Leaving Mrs. He alone and restless, the second child was in a bad temper, and he found out that this matter was related to him, he would really send himself to Jingxin Nunnery, wouldn't everything he contracted be in vain?

Mrs. He was so anxious that she turned around, she had to think of a way to put all the blame on others, alas, she could only be sorry for her sister-in-law!

As soon as He Yan returned to the courtyard, someone from the government came, for the case of Qin Nianbai killing He Meng's concubine vanilla and poisoning the child in vanilla's belly a day ago.

The jade bracelet they took away has already been tested by the imperial doctor, and it is indeed not right in time, so it can be concluded that Qin Nianbai is innocent!

It's a pity that now that the second lady has been buried in the fire, even if they find evidence, it will be useless!

"General He, this is the case we received at that time......

Catch quickly told He Yan about the situation at that time.

He Yan frowned, all the key people were gone!

Qin Nianbai over there learned that Xiaohua was missing, and also began to investigate Zhou Niangzi, she asked people to take Xiaohua's portrait and go to Zhou's house to dredge it, and sure enough, someone recognized Xiaohua as Zhou Niangzi's wedding maid. I have some kung fu on my body, and I don't show up to meet people easily!

The matter is already clear, Qin Nianbai should also show up!

He Yan naturally also investigated Xiaohua, but this slave has been hiding in the Zhou family, and it is difficult to arrest her.

He Yan was writing a recital in another room that had not been burned, and he came back this time not only because of Qin Nianbai, but because Qin Nianbai's matter asked him to come back and report earlier!

"General, someone asked the slave to give this to you!" Xiao Qing came in with a tray, looked around, and handed He Yan a note.

"Yaxianju?" He Yan looked at this familiar and delicate handwriting, smiled, put down the piece in his hand, and went out directly!

Tea room on the second floor of Yaxian Ju

Qin Nianbai was lighting tea, and when he saw He Yan coming in, he just smiled and poured him tea, "I haven't seen you for a long time, is the general at the border?" ”

He Yan said gently: "Everything is going well, but I am just worried about the lady at home......"

"You should have figured out the ins and outs of the matter, I need you to help me catch someone now!" Qin Nianbai said calmly.
