Chapter 24: A Strange Case
After speaking, Yan Nanwan herself was frightened, and she was anxious to push Xue Yan away, but Xue Yan hugged her and buried her head in her neck, which suddenly reminded her of what happened the night before.
The hand patted him on the back again, comforted him twice, and then he was speechless.
After a while, feeling that his body was no longer as tense as it was just now, Yan Nanwan spoke: "Xue Yan, are you okay?" she asked cautiously.
Xue Yan said softly: "Evening, I'm afraid of mice." β
The corners of Yan Nanwan's mouth twitched violently, is this person being coquettish to her?
Raised his eyes and looked at the sky, it didn't seem to be raining red! sighed in his heart: "I'm not afraid, just follow me with the Seventh Prince." β
Xue Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then let go of her, with a smile on his face.
Yan Nanwan scolded Yan Nanchen in her heart, if her brother pushed her out, she would not have taken such a hard errand, just investigate the case, and the person who followed her was still afraid of mice.
She glanced around, this place was dilapidated, and a big mouse could pop up at any time, wouldn't Xue Yan have to give her a spinning and jumping princess hug from time to time?
"Xue Yan, I saw the mouse, you hide behind me, don't be like just now. She admonished.
Xue Yan nodded: "I'll try my best." β
The woman stood in front of the door and looked at the two, because of the distance, she couldn't hear what they were saying, and her eyes were full of inquiry.
Yan Nanwan walked over, looked at the exploration in the woman's eyes, and coughed embarrassedly twice: "There was some accident just now, let's continue." β
The woman spoke: "A month ago, people began to die in the village, and in the past month, they have died from the village to my house. β
Yan Nanwan smiled and asked, "I want to know where these corpses are?"
"I don't know, I can't see the body. β
"How can you tell that a person is dead if you can't see a corpse?" Yan Nanwan was surprised.
The woman continued: "The dead have a pool of blood in their homes, and there is still a human head left, isn't it dead?
Yan Nanwan was choked by her, and she was speechless immediately. turned around and poked Xue Yan, and whispered, "You asked her what strange things have happened in the village in the past few years?"
Xue Yan smiled knowingly, and also lowered his voice: "Is this asking me to betray my hue later?"
Yan Nanwan glared at him: "I'm helping you." β
"Whatever you say at night is what you say. The corners of Xue Yan's lips hooked up with a smile like a peach, and he walked up to the woman, "I wonder what strange things are happening in the village?"
The woman was fascinated by Xue Yan for a while, and looked at him straight like that, stunned for a long time before she spoke: "Last year, a foreigner suddenly came to the village and fled. The chief of the village looked at the strange and pitiful man, and took him in. After the man came, there was a plague in the village, and everyone said that he had brought him, and the group wanted to drive him away. The man was reluctant to leave, so the villagers and the village chief agreed to burn down the house where the man lived at night. β
"Is there a corpse burned?" Yan Nanwan hurriedly asked.
The woman glanced at Yan Nanwan and did not answer.
Yan Nan closed his mouth and poked Xue Yan secretly, Xue Yan repeated the words with a smile: "Is there a corpse burned?"
The woman nodded: "When the body was brought out, it was already charred and unrecognizable." β
Xue Yan looked at Yan Nanwan and motioned for her to have anything else to ask.
Yan Nanwan shook her head, thanked the woman, and turned to leave.
Xue Yan followed her without speaking, just followed quietly.
"When is Lord Qin coming?"
Xue Yan's eyes fell on the entrance of the village and smiled: "It's here." β
Yan Nanwan looked over, and sure enough, Qin Zhao came over with a few officials.
"We passed. Xue Yan spoke, holding Yan Nanwan's hand and walking over there.
"The ministers participated in the Seven Princes and the Seven Princesses. β
Xue Yan smiled: "Lord Qin doesn't have to be polite, I have something to ask you later." β
Qin Zhao was surprised in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "The Seventh Princess, please ask, the minister must tell the truth." β
Yan Nanwan also smiled kindly, and no longer polite, and asked directly: "Lord Qin, do you know about the burning incident that happened in Liucun last year?"
"This ......" Qin took a look at Xue Yan, and saw that he didn't react much, so he said, "The old minister also knew about this matter recently, and no one in the village came to report the case at that time, and Dali Temple didn't know about it." β
"Then Lord Qin can check it?"
"Not yet. How did Qin Zhao answer.
Yan Nanwan frowned: "Lord Qin can check this matter, it is best to find out the identity of the person who was burned to death." β
"Yes, the minister told someone to do it. β
Yan Nanwan nodded, didn't speak again, and fell into deep thought.
Qin Zhao didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to set his eyes on Xue Yan.
Xue Yan smiled and asked, "Lord Qin, how is the investigation of the thieves in the capital?"
Qin Zhao's heart trembled, he only asked the Seventh Prince yesterday, why did he ask again today, so he could only stubbornly say: "The minister is still investigating, and there is no progress." β
Since Xue Yan exposed her identity that day, Yan Nanwan has no worries, he said that he didn't want to send his fiancΓ©e to prison, naturally he has his way, and she doesn't bother to worry about it anymore.
"In this case, there is no need to investigate again, this matter will be made clear to his father, Lord Qin should concentrate on investigating the affairs of Liu Village!"
When Qin Zhao heard this, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, both of which were very tricky, and finally replied, "The minister knows." β
Xue Yan nodded.
Yan Nanwan glanced at Xue Yan, thinking that if the thieves in Beijing didn't investigate, the emperor should be angry, and this Xue Yan really dared to say it!
"Lord Qin, can you let me see the head of the deceased?" Yan Nanwan said.
Qin Zhao was taken aback, stunned, and nodded hurriedly: "Of course you can, and ask the Seventh Prince and the Imperial Concubine to go to Dali Temple with me." β
As he spoke, the group walked towards the capital, and Xue Yan always held Yan Nanwan's hand.
Walking out of Liu Village, Yan Nanwan thought that there should be no rats!
Xue Yan smiled and said, "Evening is not shy on weekdays, is it because Lord Qin is here today?"
Hearing this, Qin Zhao felt Xue Yan's sharp eyes, and felt that the sun in March was really big, he sweated and laughed twice: "The Seventh Prince and the Seventh Prince Concubine are a match made in heaven, and the two of them stand together and don't know how many lovers they envy." β
Yan Nanwan rolled her eyes in her heart, this Lord Qin really took the opportunity to act, thinking that he must have suffered a lot by Xue Yan's side during this time.
Xue Yan was a little "shameless", and said: "Lord Qin has said so, so you don't have to be shy at night." You and I are in love, even if there are some affectionate behaviors, it is also lovely, and it is harmless. β
