Chapter 31: Searching for Clues
"Ah, idol...... Is this an idol...... In your words here, it is simply an object of respect, adoration and affection...... Well, I say that, do you understand? ”
Yan Zixi blinked her eyes and asked curiously.
She didn't know if her explanation was accurate or not, but she had explained it in the simplest language.
Xiao Jingcong seemed to be thoughtful after hearing this, but soon came to his senses.
"In this way, Miss Zixi is my idol of Jing Cong!" Saying that, Xiao Jingcong also made a special gesture for Yan Zixi.
"Ah...... Be...... Is it......" Yan Zixi blushed with shame, only feeling that her face was as hot as being burned by the flames.
Forget it, whatever, I can't understand it with these people.
"By the way, Miss Zixi, how are your injuries?" Xiao Jingcong asked with concern again.
Yan Zixi wanted to wave her hand to show that she had no problem at all, but as soon as she raised her hand, the stinging pain from the wound immediately made her retract again.
Then he smiled at Xiao Jingcong with an embarrassed face: "I think...... There should be no problem, it's all skin trauma, but I don't know if there is no tetanus, will the wound be infected and inflamed in the future...... I hope they cleaned and disinfected my wounds when they treated them......"
Xiao Jingcong listened to Yan Zixi talking about medical terms, and she was a little confused, and she wanted to answer but didn't know what to answer.
Yan Zixi sneered when she saw it, and hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Okay, Jingcong, I'm really fine." You promised me just now that you would go with me to investigate the case, don't forget. ”
"Well, but it's not early today, you better rest and recuperate, and we'll go again tomorrow."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal."
After Xiao Jingcong made an appointment with Yan Zixi, he walked out with Gonggong Li.
On the way back to the inn, Gonggong Li was chattering tirelessly on the side.
"Little Marquis, it's not the old slave who said you, how can you be so close to the women of the people? If it is known to the prince and queen, then ......"
"That's the secret you told you!" Before Gonggong Li finished speaking, Xiao Jingcong interrupted him, and threatened in his mouth: "Gonggong Li, if my father knows about this, I will be the first to behead your dog!" ”
"Hey, don't you dare, don't dare, don't you dare, don't you dare! The old slave must be tight-lipped and won't say even half a word......"
Gonggong Li was so frightened that his face changed, and he quickly covered his mouth.
……
The Yan family.
Yan Muxue ran into Yan's mother's house in a panic, and shouted as soon as she entered the door.
"Mother, it's not good, it's not good! That little slut was rescued from prison! ”
"What?!" Aunt Yan also stood up and asked cautiously, "Daughter, is what you said true?" ”
Yan Muxue nodded, "It's true, Miaochuntang has already spread, and I heard that the little slut was beaten in the prison and almost died, it was her father and the doctors of Miaochuntang who treated her injuries!" ”
"Damn it!" Aunt Yan slapped the table when she heard this, "I can't imagine that this can let that dead girl escape?" Who has the ability to get that dead girl out of prison? ”
"I don't know much about this, but according to the doctors in Miaochuntang, it was a young boy who rescued her, and he didn't seem to be a local person with an accent......
"It's really strange, how can that dead girl get acquainted with people from other places? And to be able to obtain the consent of Cheng County's order to release people, I think that person must not be a simple character......"
Yan Muxue was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, grabbing Aunt Yan's water sleeve and screaming.
"Mother, you have to find a way, can you let that little slut turn over?"
"Don't panic, Cheng County Ling should also see that the little slut is dying before he is released for treatment, rest assured, her crime is still on her head, and she can't run away!"
Aunt Yan calmed down and sat down again.
"But mother, what if that little slut finds out...... I'm afraid we'll be implicated too, right? ”
"Hmph, you know you're scared now? Didn't you want to get rid of your sister in the first place? ”
"Mother, you don't know that Yan Zixi is just a baby picked up and adopted by the second uncle, what kind of sister is it? Over the years, you have abused her a lot. Yan Muxue retorted.
"You dead girl, you still taught your mother a lesson?" Aunt Yan snorted coldly, "Don't worry, she can't find anything, now that the human and material evidence is there, she still wants to overturn the case?" ”
Yan Muxue was still a little uneasy, "Mother, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens...... You see if we should take any action, at least don't blame us for this disaster! ”
"Hmph, that's not easy? Don't forget, we also have a substitute for the dead! From beginning to end, we didn't come forward, but it was Dr. Song who took the money to do things! ”
When Yan Muxue heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "No wonder Niang, you have to commit yourself to begging Song Yuanlin to do this, it turns out that there is still this trick, Mother, or your means are clever, my daughter admires and admires!" ”
Yan Muxue stretched out her thumbs and praised as she spoke.
"Hehe, that's it, you were born by me, and the road you have to walk is still long!"
Aunt Yan looked at her baby daughter, and the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent......
……
Early the next morning, Yan Zixi forced her body to get out of bed.
Sit down at the dresser and dress yourself up.
After all, if you want to go out with Xiao Dagongzi, you can't make too much of a shudder.
There are no modern conditions here, just a simple application of rouge and blush and the like.
However, there is also a benefit, that is, these cosmetics are all natural, do not contain any chemical additives, and are not harmful to the skin.
After changing into a clean water gauze skirt, Yan Zixi was ready to go out.
"Stop, Zixi!"
Yan Zixi had just slipped out of the boudoir when she was stopped, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Yan Wenyuan coming from the corridor.
"Uncle, early ...... Good morning......"
Yan Wenyuan nodded, and asked suspiciously: "Zixi, why don't you rest and recuperate in the house so early, and run out?" ”
"Uncle, I made an appointment to investigate the case together......"
"I made an appointment...... Is it Xiao Gongzi who rescued you yesterday? Yan Wenyuan seemed to have seen through it a long time ago, and asked tentatively.
Yan Zixi responded, "Yes...... It's ...... him."
"Zixi, it's not that you are an uncle, that Xiao Gongzi is unknown, and he doesn't know what the purpose is. What's more, you are still wearing a sinful body, if something happens again...... You've finally come out of prison, so let's heal your injuries at home first......"
Although Yan Zixi knew that the uncle was also kind, he still retorted in his mouth.
"Uncle, then I want to ask you, do I just do nothing at home to recuperate? When the time comes, who will come to save me if I am put in prison again? ”
When Yan Zixi said this, her eyes stared straight at Yan Wenyuan.
To be honest, Yan Zixi has a little resentment towards Yan Wenyuan in her heart, and it is impossible to have it.
If it was Yan Wenyuan's biological daughter Yan Muxue who was arrested before, he would definitely not sit idly by and indifferently let those servants take her away.
To put it bluntly, it's not because I picked it up.
Yan Wenyuan was speechless by Yan Zixi's rebuttal, and stood there straight.
Yan Zixi turned around and left, walked out a few steps and stopped, and said lightly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of my affairs alone, even if I am really framed for murder in the end, I, Yan Zixi, will definitely not implicate anyone in your Yan family!" ”
When Yan Zixi said this, she was loud, which also represented her determination.
From the moment she was taken away by the officials, Yan Zixi knew that she had nothing to do with the Yan family.
In the future, she will live for herself and will not be bullied by anyone again!
This may be another path that Yan Zixi took to reborn into this era and awaken the Qingyu inheritance.
Yan Zixi had already walked out, but Yan Wenyuan was still standing on the corridor in a daze.
At this moment, Yan Wenyuan no longer has the majesty of the head of the Yan family, and he no longer has the majesty of the master of the Miaochun Hall.
Like an old man, he looked up at the sky with a white belly, and muttered softly: "Second brother, Zixi has grown up......"
……
After leaving Yan's house, Yan Zixi came to the teahouse agreed with Xiao Jingcong.
Sure enough, I saw Xiao Jingcong sitting at the door of the teahouse, drinking tea leisurely.
Yan Zixi walked over quickly and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Young Master Xiao, are you quite punctual?" ”
When Xiao Jingcong saw Yan Zixi, she also smiled slightly, "Miss Zixi said that she laughed, Jingcong has just arrived." ”
"Really?" Yan Zixi glanced at the leftovers on the table that had been eaten, as well as the tea that had bottomed out, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Forget it if you finish eating early, so a big pot of tea is about to be drunk by you, obviously it's been so long, and you're still there with my sister and me!
Of course, Yan Zixi wouldn't say it directly, she asked for two steamed buns, and discussed the case with Xiao Jingcong while nibbling on the steamed buns.
"Jingcong, I told you everything I knew, you were there that day, you knew I didn't kill anyone!"
Xiao Jingcong frowned, and analyzed it in his mouth: "On that day, we left Mrs. Li's house together, of course I know that you are not a murderer." But I can't testify for you directly, and even if I do stand in court, no one will believe me. ”
"That's just as well."
"Now the human witness is not the point, and the Li family has no relevant human witness on their side, but I saw a piece of physical evidence that is very unfavorable to you in the county office!"
When Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately asked, "Physical evidence, what kind of physical evidence?" ”
"Cheng County Decree said that they found the dagger you used in the thatched hut where Mrs. Li died, and when the autopsy was conducted, it also showed that Mrs. Li died on this dagger......"
"What?!" Yan Zixi shook her head and shouted, "No...... No way! When I went to Mrs. Li's house that day, I only carried a medicine box, and I didn't bring any sharp weapons such as daggers and scalpels at all......"
"I'm skeptical too, but that dagger has already been identified by the doctors of Miaochuntang, and it is indeed the knife you used to treat patients before......"
