Yan Ji was stripped of his official uniform and knelt in the courtyard wearing only his middle coat. On a late autumn night, the cold soaked his body, but he knelt straight and straight.

He said to Li Zhuohang: "Ark." It's none of the Li family's business. ”

He turned to Jian Fan again and said coldly: "Wang Xiang was detained by Anguo, and his teacher has gone to the northwest border pass. Lord Jane, if you don't believe it, you won't understand the situation in the imperial court. Is it really for Miss Li's disappearance to ask the culprit? Last time, Chen Fei framed the Li family, and the adults dealt with it impartially; This incident is the same, but the lord dismissed the official without asking any questions and seized the Yan Mansion, it seems that the lord has made a choice. Your Excellency acts according to orders, and the official does not blame you; However, the Li family has lost their beloved daughter, and it is already unbearable, and the adults can't bear to use them, which is really despicable! ”

In recent years, Emperor Jiaxing's intention to get rid of Wang Heng and Liang Xinming has been revealed, but these two people have high prestige and deep-rooted power, and they have no way to start.

No one dares to make this head for Emperor Jiaxing!

This time it was different, Jian Fan saw the change in the situation in the court - Wang Heng was detained by Anguo, Liang Xinming was lonely, he naturally complied with the situation and was ordered to do an errand!

He was distracted by Yan Ji's words, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and shouted: "Don't ask about the soap? One negligence is not enough to condemn you! In Huzhou, how many negligent local officials have been dealt with by this official, how can he show favoritism! ”

Yan Ji retorted: "In Huzhou, the adults have already investigated the facts of the case, and then punished them according to the crime; Have you figured it out now? ”

Jian Fan said: "This official is not investigating!" Are you really innocent? Do you dare to say that you haven't seen Wang Yan and don't know Miss Li's whereabouts? ”

Yan Ji intercepted: "No! ”

At this time, the subordinate officials who were ordered to raid Yan Mansion went back and forth: Miss Li was not found, and the two twin ladies of Yan Mansion were also missing.

It can be seen that Yan Ji has been prepared for a long time!

Jian Fan looked at Yan Ji and sneered, as if he had added confidence, and he was not verbose, and ordered Yan Ji and Mrs. Yan to be escorted to the Huizhou Mansion, where he had to be interrogated overnight; He also ordered all the officials who were close to Yan Ji to be imprisoned, and there were more than a dozen of them; He also ordered the whole city to search for the two girls of the Yan family, and went to other prefectures and counties in Wenhui Prefecture to strictly investigate passers-by at land and water docks, city walls, and checkpoints, and arrest key criminals.

This key offender is Wang Yan and Zhang Jinyan.

In addition to the holy decree, Emperor Jiaxing issued a secret decree to Jian Fan, asking him to execute Yan Ji on the spot in case he was saved by Wang Heng Liang Xinming's henchmen.

This is the arm of Wang Heng and Liang Xinming!

Therefore, Jian Fan interrogated Yan Ji overnight.

Yan Ji and his wife were tortured to extract confessions.

Mrs. Yan could not bear the pain, afraid that she would accidentally leak the news of her daughter and Wang Yan, so she was escorted to a cell at the end of the interrogation, and in the early hours of the morning, she committed suicide with a belt hanging from a beam. Yan Ji was interrogated all night and tortured to death.

The next day, Li Zhuohang learned the news, like a bolt from the blue.

"Why didn't you judge Xiaomin?" He asked Jian Fan angrily.

"Of course." Jian Fan said firmly.

Emperor Jiaxing ordered him to carefully search and track down Li Hanyao's whereabouts, how dare he slack off! But after looking for so many days, there is no trace of Li Hanyao. It was really difficult for him to judge whether Li Hanyao was still alive. Li Hanyao's entry into the palace is not good for Empress Chen and Concubine Pan Guifei, both of whom may attack Li Hanyao; The second is that Li Hanyao disobeyed the holy decree, the golden cicada came out of its shell, or was rescued by Wang Yan.

How would he determine the direction of his pursuit?

Jian Mao was in a tangle.

He had asked Huo Huangying what he thought.

Huohuang Ying said first: "Don't ask me, adult, the little girl has no idea." ”

Jian Fan was upset and said unhappily: "Girl, don't hide it, the official knows that you have ideas, and there are many ideas." If you say it, you can say it! ”

Huo Huangying was not afraid of him, and said lazily: "My lord really thinks too much!" If the little woman has an idea, it also depends on what is right; If this matter is not widely implicated, how can even adults be helpless? The little woman didn't know anything about the situation in the court and the palace, so she couldn't talk about it; The little woman only said one thing: With Miss Li's temperament, she will only choose one way, that is, to enter the palace, gain power, and shine on the lintel of the Li family! ”

Jian Fan nodded and said, "This official understands." ”

This means that Li Hanyao was killed.

She herself would not have escaped.

Despite this, Jian Mao still did not draw conclusions easily, so he was entangled. At this time, he received a report from Li Zhuoyuan: Li Hanyao was probably hiding in Yuezhuang. Jian Fan immediately led someone to escort Li Zhuohang to Yuezhuang.

The old servant returned the news of the unfortunate death of Yan Ji and his wife to Wang Yan.

Yan Ling heard that her parents were dead, she fainted in mourning, and when she woke up, she was desperate to go to Huicheng, but was stopped by Wang Yan and Zhang Jinyan.

"Girl, this is a self-imposed net!"

"Girl, won't she live up to Lord Yan's hard work?"

"Poor father and mother, there is no one to collect the body......"

The old servant hurriedly said that Li Zhuohang had already collected the corpses for them.

Yan Ling still couldn't let go of her grief, and wailed in grief.

Wang Yan held the girl's shoulders tightly, wanting to comfort, but there was no way to comfort her, she didn't even have to hand her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, watching her vent, full of pain and anger!

When Yan Ling stopped crying for a while, Wang Yan asked bitterly: "Lord Yan is affected by my parents. Does the girl blame me? ”

Yan Ling choked up and said, "I don't know anything anymore, but I know...... The loyalty of Wang Xiang and Lord Liang. The emperor is mediocre, how can he complain, the two adults and the son. ”

Wang Yan said: "You don't blame me, I blame myself." ”

He could have saved Yan Ji.

But he didn't insist on saving it.

He had already lost hope to Emperor Jiaxing, because his father and mother, because the Wang family was in the capital, he didn't dare to do whatever he wanted.

……

In mid-September, hidden at the foot of the Yellow Mountain, Yuezhuang, which has been quiet and comfortable for hundreds of years, ushered in the imperial court and the officers and soldiers. When Jian and his entourage arrived, it was evening. A large group of people poured into the village, and suddenly the chickens and dogs jumped in the village; Under the impact of the flow of people, even the mist that haunted the village dissipated a lot. When the school ended, a group of children came to see the excitement, and they were intimidated by the officers and soldiers, and they cried loudly.

The forbidden army camped outside the village and blocked Yuezhuang.

Jian Fan lived in the ancestral hall of the Li family, and on the one hand, he ordered someone to call Li Zhuoyuan to come, and on the other hand, he ordered all the officials and forbidden troops to surround the Li family's mansion and wait for his order.

Li Zhuohang was let go home - Jian Fan was not afraid that he would make a ghost, and was about to ask him to talk to Li Hanyao and catch him.

In the ancestral hall, Jian Fan asked Li Zhuoyuan, what evidence is there that Li Hanyao is hiding in Yuezhuang?

Li Zhuoyuan provided three points: First, although Jiang Yuzhen was a little thin, he was in good spirits, and he didn't look like he had lost his only daughter at all. Second, Li Hanyao's eldest girl watched chess, and as soon as she came to Yuezhuang, she took over the power of the family, took care of the internal and external affairs of the mansion, and even interfered in the accounts on the grange, and was also close to Jiang Yuzhen, just like a mother and daughter, which was really suspicious. Third, in recent days, I have been going to the mountains to watch chess.

Jian Fan listened to it and went to the Li family's mansion in person.

Outside the mansion with high walls and deep wells, there are countless lanterns hanging, the lights illuminate the water, the water reflects the lights, the sparkling waves, the broken gold flickers, and the moon lake shines like a fairyland of Yaochi. The mansion is brightly lit, the beams, doors and windows are hanging, the pillars and other carvings are elegant, and the old mansion shows its vicissitudes and profound heritage to outsiders.

Jian Fan sat down in the main hall.

He used separate trials.

Jiang Yuzhen was brought up first.
