Qu Yu nodded, "The person who threatened Steward Chen that day, after many investigations, his subordinates can confirm that he is not from the Yuan family from the body shape, height, age, and appearance. But this person deliberately disguised his appearance, but no matter how he changed, his facial features still resembled him by five or six points. When his subordinates got his portrait, they felt a little familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen it. ”

"Two days ago, my subordinates stumbled upon a man on the road, who was very close in appearance and age. His subordinates followed him secretly and found that he had returned to Qi Mansion, and I remembered that he was the housekeeper of Qi Mansion, Chang Xun. ”

Li Sui was tired from staring at the ground, so he withdrew his gaze, leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes to rest.

Qu Yu continued: "This Qi envoy is inconspicuous on the surface, but his subordinates always feel that he is very dangerous. And the existence of Zhou Si may threaten the person who really murdered Miss Ye's father back then. At that time, the officialdom of Shanbei Province could be described as stormy and miserable. Nine out of ten officials made mistakes, but only this Qi envoy Jun'an stayed safely. ”

Li Sui nodded.

Qu Xun continued: "Later, his subordinates investigated Chang Xun in depth, he had been working in the Qi Mansion more than 20 years ago, and he was also the housekeeper who was promoted by Qi Envoy Jun back then. His loyalty to the Qi envoy and the Qi Mansion should be undoubted, Chang Xun no longer has other family members, nor has a wife and children, but he bought a private house outside, which is here. ”

"There are no weaknesses around him, so his subordinates want to quietly catch him and interrogate him first, and whoever wants to send someone to watch here for a day and a night only to find that there are other people living in this house. Do you remember the five members of the Yu family who disappeared some time ago, our people have never given up, and everyone has seen their portraits, so they recognized at a glance that the two people who entered and exited the permanent house were the two sons of the Yu family. ”

Li Sui opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed on his face, and he asked, "Have you sneaked in to investigate?" Is there an ambush around here? ”

"There was no ambush or stalking, they went in last night to see, counting Chang Xun, there were six people in the house. If he was also there, his subordinates would have taken down these people last night. Qu Yu said.

"Chang Xun comes back to live every day?" Li Sui asked.

Qu Yu shook his head, "This subordinate doesn't know, but he came back last night when he was in charge of the lamp, and if he still appears tonight, it should be this time." ”

Li Sui flicked the hem of his shirt and said, "Then don't wait, let's go in first and see what is going on with those five people." ”

Qu Yu jumped out of the carriage first, ordered people to stop the surrounding intersections, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door, and Li Sui then walked over.

However, they knocked several times and no one answered, not even the sound of footsteps, but Qu Yu was sure that there must be someone here, and his people had been staring here, and they didn't see those five people come out again.

If someone is there but doesn't answer, it can be seen that the heart is empty.

"Bang the door!" Li Sui took a step back and ordered.

Without saying a word, Qu Yu kicked over, and the door bolt inside broke, and the left half of the door also smashed against the left wall with a clang.

The courtyard was quiet, with a few clothes hanging on the drying racks, but there were no fireworks in the kitchen, and the doors of the hall and side rooms were closed.

Li Sui suddenly had a bad premonition!

They went to knock on the door separately, and with a light touch, they all opened, and the five members of the Yu family were not in their own wing, but all collapsed next to the table in the hall. Their bodies were swollen, their lips were black and purple, and blood was spilling from their facial features, apparently poisoned to death.

Li Sui touched the corpse, and there was no temperature.

Come to think of it, they had been outside for two or three hours, and these people had probably been killed before that.

"Did you really see the two sons of the Yu family alive yesterday? Are they the only people who come in and out of here and Chang Xun? Li Sui withdrew and confirmed to Qu Sui.

Qu Xun nodded very affirmatively, and then called the two guards who were watching him over and asked, "When did Chang Xun leave?" After he left, was there any other movement in this courtyard? ”

"Chang Xun seems to be before dawn, and he left at about the end of the day, and it should have been someone from the Yu family who came out to see him off, and then ...... There was some movement in the kitchen, and it seemed that breakfast was being cooked. Further back...... It seems that there is really no movement. ”

Qu Yu turned to Li Sui and said, "Master Hou, my subordinates guess that Chang Xun did something before leaving. The Yu family has been missing for so long, and they should have lived here all along, but they were killed at this time, I am afraid that our movements will be detected by them. ”

It was dark outside, and there was only a candle lit in the room, which emitted a faint light, and it only had a subtle effect in the huge bedroom, and everything was covered with a veil that could not be seen clearly.

Ye Jinyu walked over and tugged on the door again, but it was still locked. In the past few hours, she has repeated this action many times, and her voice has long been hoarse, but she has never received any response.

She still can't believe that she was locked up by the Qi family, and it was the aunt who tricked her into coming here who was very loving and caring for her.

Didn't she say that her grandmother was sick and wanted to see her, but as soon as she entered the Qi Mansion, she was forcibly taken to Ye Rutong's former boudoir and locked up. Qi Yan reads

My aunt didn't explain a word, but just said to her through the door, "I'm sorry Jinyu", and walked away without looking back.

Sorry for what? You can make it clear, do you want to kill her by locking people up in this way, or do you want to do anything with her?

If she disappears suddenly, the most anxious person will definitely be Hou Ye, and everyone knows that she was taken away by her aunt, and Hou Ye will definitely come here to ask for someone.

Maybe they just want to force Hou Ye to come over?

The more Ye Jinyu thought about it, the more frightened she became, what a mess this was, she was originally a spy sent to the Hou Mansion by her uncle, but now she has become the weakness of the Hou Lord?

Her aunt is usually so good to her, she thought that even if her uncle was bad, her aunt would not hurt her, but it turned out to be a slap in the face.

Ye Jinyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, praying that Hou Ye would not come and not be fooled. Someone who knows how to judge the situation must have thought that this was a trap.

Just when she was sweating, there was a sudden sound of unlocking outside, Huo Ran looked up and saw her uncle.

Ye Jinyu instinctively had a trace of fear and fear for him, and thought that he was now holding her in disregard of his uncle and nephew's affection, and a layer of defensive hostility suddenly appeared in his heart.

Qi Yan walked in with the food box, and then the door was closed again, he put the food box on the table, turned to Ye Jinyu and said, "Come and eat." ”

Ye Jinyu didn't move, but he just felt that his move was really funny, "What do you mean by this, why did you suddenly lock me up?" ”

Qi Yan sat down first, resting his elbows on the table, "Do you need your uncle to remind you of what you've done recently?" ”

Ye Jinyu sneered and said, "Didn't I follow your intentions to stay in the Hou Mansion and observe everything there, and report to you at any time." Is it because there is no change in the Hou Mansion that you suspect that I have not done a good job, so you want to lock me up? ”

Qi Yan chuckled lowly for a while, as if laughing at her stupidity, "Jin Yu, today, you won't play dumb riddles with me anymore." You can find Zhou Si and leave people in the Hou Mansion for so long, I'm afraid you have heard a lot of things from him. Do you really listen to your uncle? ”

"Zhou Si?" Ye Jinyu was taken aback and asked, "People were taken away by you?" ”

Qi Yan shook his head, "Did he run over by himself, or was he as stupid as before, he didn't dare to tell you the truth, and he was afraid of showing hatred and resentment in the face of you, so he came to me for help." Unexpectedly, after so many years, he is still so infatuated with Xiangyun, and even you have become his weakness. ”

Ye Jinyu hated himself so much now, he obviously had doubts before, why didn't he ask Zhou Si. If she had pried open Zhou Si's mouth earlier, he wouldn't have escaped on his own.

Uncle is right, he is really stupid, he has suffered such two big losses, and he dares to come to his uncle, he simply put his neck on the blade.

"So my father's case ten years ago really has something to do with you?" Ye Jinyu glared at him angrily and shouted, "Then you also reminded me to investigate my father's case, do you think that I can't find out the truth?" ”

"If it weren't for that, how would you be willing to go to the Hou Mansion honestly in the first place." Qi Yan sighed regretfully, "Who would have thought that the world would be unpredictable, you actually lost your memory in the Hou Mansion and became entangled with the Hou of Wu'an." If he hadn't been nosy and helped you track down this matter, you would never have found out the truth in your life. ”

He hurt his sister and brother-in-law, and now he doesn't feel a trace of guilt and anxiety in front of their children?

Ye Jinyu felt uncle, no, it was Qi Yan, this person was really terrible, what was he thinking in his heart? Could it be that because her mother is not the real daughter of the Qi family, he can harm her with peace of mind!

"Why did you harm my father? Is it to atone for you? Ye Jinyu asked him excitedly.

Qi Yan's face finally showed a trace of sadness, but it was fleeting, and he said calmly: "Your father is willing to take the blame for me for the sake of your mother and daughter, and if I was found out back then, your family would also be implicated." But if he carries all the sins alone, with the power that the Qi family has accumulated over the years, he will definitely be able to keep the Qi family and your mother and daughter. ”

Ye Jinyu clenched his fists, his bones creaked, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't use these rhetoric to cover up your selfishness and shamelessness, I have been deceived by you for so many years, it turns out that I stepped on my father's corpse to survive." This is not enough, you still want to use me to do things for you, and you don't care about my happiness and life or death, do you have no conscience? You are not afraid that my father and mother will know that if you become a powerful ghost, you will come to take your life. ”

In the face of her accusations and angry scolding, Qi Yan was unmoved, "Jin Yu, if you are obedient and help me deal with Wu'anhou, you will still be a good girl of our Qi family, and your uncle will still love you as much as before in the future." ”

"Hurt me?" Ye Jinyu laughed sarcastically, "If it hurts, I will trick me into going to the Hou Mansion, be a nameless and worthless spy, and force me into danger if it hurts?" I almost died in the Hou Mansion at the beginning, did you ever care about me? Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that the group of people who chased and killed us in Tongyuan County last time were sent by you. At that time, you were murderous to me, right? and the assassination of the Hou Ye in the city, you also arranged it. You are the only one who has the ability to dare to assassinate in broad daylight. ”

Qi Yan slowly lowered his expression, his eyes became gloomy and solemn, "You are really getting smarter and smarter, but unfortunately you are blinded by emotion, it's a pity, you are unwilling to help me deal with Wu'anhou now, right?" ”

"Yes!" Ye Jinyu said categorically: "Even if I die, I won't help you hurt people again, you'd better not let me get a chance, otherwise I will definitely shake out everything that happened ten years ago, I will make you ruined and pay for my father's life." ”
