Chapter 44: Deemed an Assassin

He looked at Han Zhengxi, his angular and cold face softened a lot, and the aura on his body was no longer low and cold.

The crown prince and Han Zhengxi were both quite unaware of his reaction, but they were relieved for a moment.

This is the first time after Shen Weiran's death that Qin Ying took the initiative to call Han Zhengxi his grandfather and gave him a good face.

And the reason for this is just because Han Zhengxi said a good word about Jiang Chuge.

Qin Ying can be happy, they like to see it.

The atmosphere eased, and the three of them went all the way to the outside of the palace.

After leaving the palace, the three of them went their separate ways, Han Zhengxi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Qin Yichen went to the Criminal Department with Qin Ying and the escort Zhanfeng who had been here in advance.

After arriving at the Criminal Department, the three of them went straight to the room dedicated to Qin Ying's office, and Zhan Feng consciously guarded the door to prevent anyone from approaching.

In the room, the two Qin Ying brothers sat opposite each other across a large table, quietly reading the files on the table related to the murder case.

The two spent two hours summarizing and sorting out the clues they had collected before, and they also got a glimpse of it.

However, the end result was not satisfactory.

Qin Yichen let out a long breath, put down the file in his hand, leaned back on the back of the chair, looked up at the beam, and said in a deep voice: "Now except for the person who slaughtered the five mansions of Lou Song to death, it is a knife Liu Zhan, there is no empirical evidence. Even if Xuanyuan Jing really grabbed a knife, we also successfully obtained a confession, if there is no supporting evidence, if we want to use this to convict a prince who has real power, we will encounter opposition from the courtiers and suspicion from the people...... It's hard to climb! ”

Over the years, they have always only secretly knocked on King Lin, hoping that he will change his mind.

However, after all, they underestimated the demagogy of power and status on people's hearts.

King Lin killed more than 400 people this time, and he has already embarked on the road of no return to desire, and there is no turning back.

If they are allowed to continue, they will bear the brunt of the attack, and he will be calculated against them, leaving no way to survive.

But it is also difficult to punish him.

Now the situation is stalemate, and they seem to have walked into a dead end.

"Zuo Lang Wang Zhi is already investigating the group of assassins who appeared in Han Xiao's mansion last night, if you can find clues from these people, you should be able to break the deadlock in front of you."

Qin Ying took over the conversation, and on her cold face, there were waves of thoughts surging in her deep eyes.

The group of assassins who appeared in Han Xiao's mansion, if it weren't for their precautions, they had made a pre-arranged arrangement to go to Han Mansion at Qin Yilin's behest.

Either way, the purpose must be to get Han Xiao out of suspicion.

If they could find evidence through the Assassins to prove this suspicion, they would be one step closer to the final truth.

And if King Lin can't send someone who is completely sure, he won't dare to do it.

Therefore, Qin Ying was not worried about Qin Yichen's safety, and did not send another person to send him off.

After Qin Yichen left, Qin Ying leaned back on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

At the moment, when the fatigue had subsided, he opened his eyes and summoned the guards who had stood outside the door after the prince had left.

"What time is it?"

"Back to the prince, if there is half a stick of incense, it will be too late."

The guard knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Qin Ying waved his hand and ordered him to retreat, then got up from his seat, tidied up his robe slightly, and strode out of the door, leaving the criminal department, and heading towards Jinxiu Lane.

On the way, when he passed by Yipinju, a famous restaurant in Didu City, he went inside and ordered a few chef's specialties and brought them to Jiang Chuge.

Half an hour later, Qin Ying, who was carrying a food box, appeared outside the small courtyard where Jiang Chuge lived in Jinxiu Lane.

The four guards at the gate of the courtyard saw him and knelt on one knee in unison: "My subordinates see the prince." ”

"No courtesy."

Qin Ying raised his hand and tentatively pushed the door of the courtyard, and found that the door bolt was not inserted from the inside, knowing that Jiang Chuge knew that he was coming here, he deliberately stayed, and his depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

Thaksin walked inside, there was no one in the hall and kitchen, and he was about to turn to Jiang Chuge's room, but when he heard the door of Yan Yan's room creak and opened from the inside.

The next moment, Jiang Chuge stepped out and appeared in his line of sight.

Because she had just woken up, she hadn't freshened up, and she didn't sleep well because she was worried, and she looked a little haggard and embarrassed.

"Lord Yi, you ...... Wait a minute, I'll wash up first. ”

As soon as he went out, he saw Qin Ying, and he was still carrying a food box with the words "Yipinju" written on it.

Jiang Chuge was surprised, and the whole person was slightly uncomfortable.

After all, her appearance at the moment is really indescribable.

"Hmm."

Putting her embarrassment in her eyes, Qin Ying felt relaxed for a moment, and nodded with a smile: "I'll wait for you in the hall." ”

After speaking, he carried the food box and entered the hall.

Watching his figure disappear from view, Jiang Chuge let out a long breath, patted his head in annoyance, and went to the well to fetch water to wash in frustration.

Because of Qin Ying's arrival, she washed the well water without heating it for the sake of speed.

Fortunately, the well water is warm and cool in winter, although the temperature drops extremely quickly after it is knocked out of the well, it has not reached the point of being cold and biting, and Jiang Chuge's move is not considered a crime.

After washing her face, she rinsed her mouth with thick salt water, quickly went back to the room to change her clothes, accidentally combed a simple bun skillfully, and quickly went to the hall.

However, Jiang Chuge did not see Qin Ying's figure in the hall, but the sound of pots and bowls colliding came from the direction of the kitchen.

Her heart jumped, and she hurriedly went over, and saw Qin Ying making a fire and standing in front of the stove.

He tipped his robe in one hand and a spatula in the other, busy heating up the food he had taken out of his food box.

The light of the furnace fire radiated from the door of the stove, reflecting on his noble figure, adding a soft smoke to him.

Wash your hands and make soup!

Jiang Chuge couldn't help but think of these five big words in his mind, and even his heartbeat was out of rhythm.

In the past, she thought that men were the most handsome and charming only when they worked hard.

It was only now that she knew that the man who used to cook would be so charming that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Before Jiang Chuge entered the kitchen, Qin Ying noticed her arrival.

As soon as she saw the little woman come in, she stared at him stupidly, so exaggerated that she didn't even blink her eyes.

Qin Ying couldn't help but hook his lips funny, and under the reflection of the fire, Junyan became softer and softer.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Chuge, his eyes met for a moment, and his deep affection flowed silently in the air, depressed and deep.

"You go and see Yan Wanrong, and if you wake up, let her eat with us."

Qin Ying took several deep breaths, turned his head with difficulty, his Adam's apple slid up and down, the voice spit out from his thin lips was slightly hoarse, and there was clearly a dancing flame in his dark eyes staring at the pot.

God knows, how much he wants to rub this seductive little woman into his arms and split it into his belly!

Fortunately, with strong self-control, he finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart and did not do the thing that frightened the beauty.

"Huh? Oh. ”

Jiang Chuge realized that she was staring at Qin Ying in a daze, and she showed the appearance of a sub-colored woman, and she escaped from the kitchen in embarrassment.

"Hehe~"

Behind him, Qin Ying's low, magnetic and seductive laughter sounded faintly, lingering in the ears of Jiang Chuge, who had not yet run away, and it lasted for a long time.

Jiang Chuge lamented silently in his heart, how good it would be if she was blind and deaf when she faced Qin Ying just now.

Walking outside Yan Wanrong's room with a red face, Jiang Chuge pushed the door slightly and entered, only to see that Yan Wanrong had already woken up.

She sat at the table with her hair spread and her back to her, unsure of what she was tinkering with.

Although Jiang Chuge opened the door quietly, it still entered her ears.

Knowing that Jiang Chuge was afraid of snakes, Yan Wanrong hurriedly closed the jade box, then turned around, smiled, and called sweetly: "Sister Chu'er." ”

As soon as she turned to her side, the jade box on the table fell into Jiang Chuge's sight.

The corners of Jiang Chuge's mouth twitched without a trace, such a cute and cute little girl, why does she like to play with snakes?

"Ahem~ Little Moon, go wash up when you wake up, it's time to eat."

Jiang Chuge coughed lightly, looking slightly uncomfortable.

"Oh."

Yan Wanrong nodded obediently, got off the stool, trotted in front of Jiang Chuge, hugged her waist, looked up at her, and said with a smile: "Sister Chu'er, your face is so red, are you shy to pinch?" ”

As soon as Jiang Chuge went out, she woke up, and after getting dressed, she opened the door and wanted to go out, but she heard a sound in the kitchen.

She poked her head out and followed the sound, but saw that the bad man who made Sister Chu'er angry last time was actually standing in front of the stove to hot dishes.

And her sister Chu'er actually stared at others in a daze, her expression was full of obsession.

She felt that Sister Chu'er seemed to like this bad man.

In this way, she retracted her head as if she didn't understand, closed the door, and took out the jade box to check the little red snake's injuries boredly, until Jiang Chuge pushed the door in.

Calming down, she walked to Yan Wanrong's side, touched her little face and hands, cold and cold, and felt distressed.

"Okay, I remember."

Yan Wanrong blinked twice and nodded obediently.

In front of her sister Chu'er, she will always be a good child.

Seeing that she was well-behaved and did not continue the topic, the only remaining embarrassment in Jiang Chuge's heart dissipated, and after combing her hair bun, the two went out hand in hand.

In the hall, Qin Ying had already set up the meal and was sitting at the table, waiting for the two of them to enter.

The square table was placed facing the entrance, one side next to the wall, and each of the three of them sat in one seat, which was just right.

Seeing the two entering, he turned his head and looked at each other, Jiang Chuge's heartbeat was slightly disturbed.

"Ahem~ Little Moon, it's time to sit down and eat."

Jiang Chuge retracted his gaze uncomfortably, and led Yan Wanrong forward.

Qin Ying sat sideways opposite the gate, and Jiang Chuge wanted to sit opposite him, but was preempted by Yan Wanrong.

Helpless, she had to sit down on the wooden bench facing the door, and looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table: chicken pith shoots, edamame tofu, ten thousand three hooves, and shark fin soup.

Some time before joining the Criminal Prosecution Division as a criminal officer, she went to Yipinju with Yan Wanrong.

At that time, she was shy in her pocket, and she had a lot of entanglements with Yan Wanrong, and only ordered the relatively cheap chicken pith bamboo shoots and edamame tofu, and Wan Sanho, who was under consideration, was excluded.

The dishes that Qin Ying brought today happened to contain these three dishes, was it a coincidence, or was it ......

Jiang Chuge's heart couldn't help but drift away.

Qin Ying knew what she was thinking and didn't interrupt.

Perhaps, by making her feel his intentions for her, she will increase the possibility that she will open up to him and accept him.

With the silence of Jiang Chuge and Qin Ying, there was silence in the room, as if some kind of indescribable emotion quietly appeared, lingering between the two.

Yan Wanrong lay on the table, her eyes dripping, and her gaze wandered curiously between the two adults.

What are Sister Chu'er doing with this bad man?

After a while, Yan Wanrong, who felt that he seemed to understand something, gave up and continued to think, sat up straight, and sighed as a young man: "Alas~ Aren't you hungry?" ”

The words were like thunder, and Jiang Chuge was blown back to his senses in an instant.

She subconsciously straightened her back, and her expression was slightly serious: "Lord Yi, please move the chopsticks." ”

"Hmm."

Qin Ying knew very well what Jiang Chuge's politeness was, because Yan Wanrong was present, he didn't want to argue with Jiang Chuge, so he answered with a slight bow, and then took the chopsticks to eat.

After the meal, Qin Ying summoned a guard outside the courtyard gate and ordered him to clean up the mess and send the food box back to Yipinju.

Then he was about to go to the Criminal Department with Jiang Chuge, but Yan Wanrong suddenly appeared.
