Chapter 274: Yan Yidao's Purpose
Yan Yidao had a calm face and said, "If you have something to say, in front of Lord Jiang, there is nothing that you can't say!" β
"Yes! Be! Yacha hurriedly said, "The villain was about to say that there were dead people in the Xie Mansion." β
Yan Yidao asked, "Who died?" β
"It's a slave of the Xie family." Yacha thought for a moment and said, "It's called Xie Li." β
"Xie Li?" Yan Yidao is obviously very unfamiliar with this name.
Jiang Ren asked, "How did you die?" β
"Drowned." The yacha said, "It seems that I was drunk and accidentally fell into the pond of the Xie family." β
Yan Yidao frowned and said, "Xie Mansion is grounded now, and the people inside are still in the mood to drink?" β
Yacha said: "Several people saw it, saying that Xie Li drank wine, and Miss Xie saw him fall in with her own eyes, but when she called someone to save the land, it was already too late." β
"Miss Xie?" Yan Yidao said, "What is she doing by the pond on a cold day?" β
"I said I was going to relax...... Yacha said.
"Since it was an accidental drowning, then treat it as an accident." Jiang Ren waved his hand, obviously not interested in this matter in the Xie Mansion.
Yan Yidao said: "My lord, after all, it was a death, I'll take a look." β
"Whatever you want." Jiang Ren said, and suddenly paused, he was about to leave, but he suddenly stopped, as if he thought of something, and looked Yan Yidao up and down, "You seem to be quite concerned about Xie Fu?" β
Yan Yidao's face did not change, and said: "I am very concerned about Xie Fuyi, others are in the cell of Dali Temple, but I pay attention to all the wind and grass around him." Perhaps, it will help the case. β
Jiang Ren sighed, paused, and said, "Alas, you have worked hard, you have worked hard......"
After saying that, I can't wait to take care of my internal organs.
Yan Yidao followed Xiao Yacha to Xie's house.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Xie Li died, and the body was fished out of the pond.
He is just a slave of the Xie family, if this kind of thing happened in ordinary times, the servants of the Xie family would have been talking about it secretly, but now is not usual, although they also talked about Xie Li's drowning, but they were more concerned about when they could leave the Xie family.
Luo Twelve told Qi Yan about Xie Li's drowning, and when Qi Yan heard the news, she was not surprised, she put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Xie Xianxian is quite fast." β
Luo Twelve nodded, sat down in front of Qi Yan, poured himself a cup ......of tea, and said, "It's really fast."
"Where's Xie Xianqian?" Qi Yan asked.
"I'm hiding in my yard." Luo Twelve said, "I killed someone and committed perjury, and now I am inevitably afraid and hiding." β
Hearing this, Qi Yan nodded lightly.
Luo Twelve said again: "Counting the time, someone from Dali Temple should come to collect the corpse...... Are you going to show up? β
Qi Yan said, "Yes." β
"You've figured it out." Luo Twelve said, "If it's an inconsequential official who comes, you will show up, if it's a serious person, then you won't be able to leave the Xie family at will." β
The Xie Mansion is now heavily guarded and is grounded, but Qi Yan can still enter and leave the Xie family freely by virtue of Ren Yuanyang's relationship, but if Qi Yan is targeted by the official messenger this time, it will be difficult to come and go at will in the future.
"Yes." Qi Yan bowed his head and said, "Anyway, the time should be almost up." β
"Coming soon?" Luo Twelve was stunned, and for a while, he didn't react to what he meant.
Qi Yan lightly talked about the teacup and said, "Xie Fu Yi came back at the time." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Yan Yidao came to Xie's house, he was surrounded by several subordinates.
A few bold people even stiffened Yan Yidao's cold gaze and asked directly: "My lord, when can we leave?" β
"My lord, none of us are slaves of the Xie family, we are all free and working for the Xie family temporarily."
"yes...... My lord! None of us are slaves of the Xie family! Even if Childe rebelled! We, we don't know......"
"Yes, it has nothing to do with us, we are innocent!"
"My lord, when can we leave!?"
Yan Yidao looked at the more and more subordinates around him, and finally opened his mouth: "Affect the official's case, thirty boards!" β
The voice fell, and the Dali Temple Yacha behind him lifted the board.
The Xie family scattered like birds and beasts.
Yan Yidao rushed to the servant who followed behind him and said, "Let's go, let's go to the autopsy first." β
"Yes."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Xie Li's body was placed in his room, covered with a white cloth.
Standing in front of the bed, bowing his head to check Xie Li's affairs, Yan Yidao put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look around Xie Li's room. The furnishings in the house are very ordinary, and nothing special can be seen.
Yan Yidao then looked under Xie Li's bed again.
Here, he found some small doorways, there was something wrong with Xie Li's bed, and there were some moving scratches under the bed.
"Your Excellency." At this time, he opened his mouth and said, "My subordinates have finished checking." β
"How?" Yan Yidao asked, staring at Xie Li's bed.
"It was true that he drowned, and he drank a lot of alcohol before he died...... replied.
"Yes." Yan Yidao nodded, "You let it go first." β
"Yes." He thought that Lord Yan wanted to inspect the corpse himself, so he got out of the way.
As a result, Yan Yidao did not look at Xie Li's body, but bent down and knocked on Xie Li's bed.
Just when I was puzzled, I only heard a soft "Gada".
Yan Yidao's face was happy.
Xie Li really has a cat under the bed, there is a small dark grid there, this dark grid is estimated to have been made by himself, it looks very simple, and the traces are still very new.
Yan Yidao exerted a slight force and opened the dark grid, but it was empty.
"Your Excellency?" He looked at Yan Yidao in confusion, and then looked at the secret grid that Lord Yan had discovered.
"It's ......"
"Strange?" Yan Yidao frowned, "Why not?" β
"What's there?" Puzzled, he asked.
"If you dig a dark compartment, won't you put something?" Yan Yidao asked.
After a pause, he immediately understood: "The contents are taken away?" β
"Quite possibly!"
"What could it be...... puzzled.
"Look at the size of the dark grid......" Yan Yidao gestured, the dark grid was boxy, and the size of two or three books put together.
"Put a book, or ......" Yan Yidao paused and said, "It's also appropriate to put a silver ticket." β
"Silver ticket?" "He's just a slave of the Xie family, can he have so many silver tickets?" β
Yan Yidao clapped his hands and stood up: "The death of this slave is a little suspicious. β
"Go and call all the Xie family over." He turned his head and commanded the yacha at the door.
"All of them?"
"Not bad."
"Is Master Xie going to call over too?" Yacha hesitated.
Yan Yidao frowned: "I said everyone, everyone." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Old lady Xie sat in the hall of the Xie family, looking directly at Yan Yidao in the crowd.
Yan Yidao found all the servants of the Xie family, made people stand in two rows, and picked out those related to Xie Li's death.
"Grandpa......" Xie Xianxian, who was beside the old lady, looked nervous, "Didn't Xie Li drown?" What are they doing here? β
Qi Yan on the side glanced at her and remained silent.
Old Lady Xie raised his eyelids, looked at the busy Yan Yidao, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, see what he wants to do." β
Yan Yidao had already settled his subordinates at this time and walked towards Old Lady Xie.
"Old man." Yan Yidao was respectful and polite to the old lady Shangxie, "You are also here to listen." β
Old Lady Xie looked at Yan Yi lukewarmly and said, "Everyone has been called by you, you don't work, you also work." Lord Yan said, what do you want to investigate? β
Yan Yidao said: "Xie Fu, this little guy, died a strange death. β
When the words fell, Xie Xianxian on the side clenched his fists suddenly.
"What's the trick?" Old lady Xie asked.
"There is a secret compartment in his room, and in the secret compartment, there should be something, but it is lost." Yan Yidao said.
"What's missing?" Old Lady Xie was not very interested, and said, "Lord Yan, is there a causal connection between losing something and falling into the water?" β
"Nope." Yan Yidao said, "I just felt that something was wrong, so I asked someone from the Xie family to ask." β
"What did you ask?"
"It's not ...... yet," Yan Yidao said with a tense face, "However, human life is always involved, and it must be investigated." β
"You can check, you'd better hurry." Old lady Xie said, slowly stood up, and the dumb uncle supported him.
"Lord Yan, if you find anything, you can only punish it according to the law, and you don't need to tell me." After the old man finished speaking, he ignored Yan Yidao and turned to leave.
Yan Yidao looked away from Old Lady Xie's back, and turned to look at the remaining two masters of the Xie family.
The young lady of the Xie family looked like she was wandering in the world from beginning to end, looking careless.
The eldest lady of the Xie family looked a little nervous, with a pale face and sickly.
"Miss, you said you saw Xie Li fall into the water with your own eyes......" Yan Yidao stepped forward and asked Xie Xianxian.
Xie Xianxian shook his head: "I, I'm not feeling well......"
As she spoke, her body crumbling and looking like she would faint at any moment.
"My lord, if you have anything to say, you can ask later......" After speaking, Xie Xianxian staggered out of the courtyard.
Yan Yi Daomu sent Xie Xianxian away, and then turned to Qi Yan.
At this time, Qi Yan had already walked out.
"Young lady!" Yan Yidao shouted to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan paused slightly, stopped, and turned around: "My lord, what's the matter?" β
Yan Yidao walked up to Qi Yan: "There are a few people who have heard the words and want to ask the young lady." β
Qi Yan was not as cold as Old Lady Xie, nor was she as evasive as Xie Xianxian, she nodded: "My lord, please speak." β
"Do you know this subordinate named Xie Li?"
"Yes." Qi Yan said, "But it's not familiar." β
"Unfamiliar?" Yan Yidao looked at Qi Yan, "As far as I know, it doesn't seem to be the case." β
"Oh?" Qi Yan smiled, "Then, what does Lord Yan know?" β
"The subordinates said that you asked Xie Li to help you collect the money, and the money they ransomed and sold was not given to you directly, but handed over to Xie Li."
Qi Yan paused, and suddenly nodded as if he realized: "When you say this, it seems that there is really such a thing." But...... I just pointed to a random person at the time, and I didn't deliberately remember who it was. β
"Xie Li's deed of sale, has he redeemed it?" Yan Yidao asked.
"Redeem." Qi Yan replied.
"But he couldn't find it in his room."
"Then I guess it's burned or torn, right?" Qi Yan has to answer all questions, and he doesn't leak, "Some people like to keep things like the deed of sale, but some people can't look directly at ......"
Yan Yidao said: "The secret grid under his bed ......"
Qi Yan smiled: "Then I don't know." β
After speaking, she tilted her head slightly, looking even a little naΓ―ve: "Lord Yan, do you have any other questions?" β
Yan Yidao retracted his gaze at Qi Yan, unhurriedly: "It's gone." β
"Let me ask you a question." Qi Yan said.
"Young lady, please speak."
"Xie Li's case, when will it be concluded?"
Yan Yidao said: "This, we have to check it out before we can do it." β
"How long do you think it will take?" Qi Yan asked.
"The murder is not timely." Yan Yidao replied.
Qi Yan bowed his head lightly: "Then I understand, Lord Yan will check slowly." After speaking, Tong Yan Yidao said goodbye and turned to leave.
Yan Yidao stood in the hall, looking at Qi Yan's departing back, frowning slightly.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Luo Twelve followed behind Qi Yan, and the two walked through the verandah, left the front yard, and walked towards the backyard.
"This Yan Yidao...... The purpose is not pure. Walking to a secluded place where there were no subordinates, Qi Yan said directly to Luo Twelve.
"Impure purpose?" Luo Twelve didn't react for a while, and said, "He just looks more serious......
"His official uniform is above the fourth grade! At this time, he didn't help track down the assassination of the prince, but instead made a big fuss about the death of a subordinate of the Xie family......" Qi Yan squinted slightly, "What do you think, how is it wrong, and just now, he recognized me as the young lady of the Xie family at a glance, don't you think it's weird?" β
Luo Twelve was in a trance a little, Qi Yan said this, fortunately, it was really like this.
"According to what you say, what is the purpose of this Lord Yan?"
Qi Yan said: "I don't know what the purpose is, but this person has to guard against it." β
"What are you going to do?" Luo Twelve asked.
Qi Yan said: "Before we don't know the other party's purpose, we can't show our flaws...... Therefore, from today onwards, I will leave the matter of contacting Tao Wan to you. β
"Give it to me?" Luo Twelve twelve-twelve, "Then what are you going to do?" β
"When you go to contact Tao Wan." Qi Yan said, "I promise that An An will not walk around." β
Luo Twelve shook his head, thinking that it was inappropriate.
Qi Yan had no choice but to take another step back and say, "It's a big deal, I'll just go and chat with the old man, so it's always okay, right?" β
"However, Xie Fuyi asked me to protect you every step of the way." Luo Twelve was still not at ease.
Qi Yan couldn't cry or laugh: "Xie Fuyi's focus is on protection, not on the inch." β
