Chapter 48: Approaching the Truth
Following the guidance of the housekeeper Yang Zhong, Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe were led elsewhere, passing through the kitchen, garden, and backyard.
These places were all seriously searched by Li Xiaoran, not to mention seeing daggers, not even a little sharp.
"Is there any place I haven't seen?" Li Xiaoran asked unrelentingly, hoping that there would be new gains.
"Then there is only one place, and that is the young master's room, and I don't know if he is still at home." Yang Zhong replied.
Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe glanced at each other when they were on the same road, nodded, and thought in their hearts: In the last place, I hope to bring me a surprise!
"It's not a problem, then you can take me to his room to have a look, this is also to prevent the hidden danger of running water, and it is also for your sake." Li Xiaoran immediately responded.
"The young master has not allowed others to enter the room since he was a child, and I rushed in..."Before Yang Zhong's words were finished, he was interrupted by Li Xiaoran alive.
"You don't have to be afraid of your young master's punishment, just say that my prefect wants to see it, if he still embarrasses you in every way, then let him come to me."
Xuanyuan Qinghe immediately came out to relieve the siege and said, but also for Yang Zhong to relax, so that he could easily find the murder weapon.
Since the prefect said so, Yang Zhong couldn't shirk it, so he took them to Yang Wen's room to check whether there was any hidden danger of going water.
On the way, Li Xiaoran used a very small voice, and on the premise that Yang Zhong couldn't hear clearly, he secretly said to Xuanyuan Qinghe: "Whether you win or lose depends on this time, do you think we can find the murder weapon?" ”
Faced with Li Xiaoran's question, Xuanyuan Qinghe still maintained his demeanor, and said with a smile in the face of the three parties: "Even if I can't find out, I will definitely have a way to let the murderer show his body!" ”
Li Xiaoran was shocked, this sudden domineering, this familiar tone, I couldn't help but think in my heart: If this is to play a costume actor, it must not make people so sweet that they are salty!
In fact, Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't have a bottom in his heart when he said this, but in front of Li Xiaoran, he inexplicably wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and he didn't know why.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the young master's room, I'll knock on the door first, the young master is not there, you wait for a while." Yang Zhong said politely, and asked Li Xiaoran to rest in front of the door.
After going in for a while, seeing that there was no movement in the house, Li Xiaoran was already waiting in a hurry and was about to rush in.
I saw Yang Wen coming out angrily, with the weirdest smile on his face, and said arrogantly: "I won't go off here, the two adults should go back!" ”
Before he went in, he was closed, who could bear it, let alone Li Xiaoran, and directly retorted: "Yamen business, please cooperate, if not, you will bear the consequences!" ”
Yang Wenzheng walked out of the door and stumbled when he heard this, looking at Li Xiaoran's appearance, but there was a look, very much like someone from the yamen doing things.
But Yang Wen thought about it for a while and said: "I won't go to the water here, even if I go to the water, I blame myself for thinking I'm unlucky, you better go back, I can afford the consequences." ”
After finishing speaking, Yang Wen still had a bunch of smiles on his face, which could be described as smiling but not smiling, and made a "please return" gesture to Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran's lungs were blown up now, and he thought to himself: How can there be such a person who doesn't know the times, and he can't go down the steps!
Fortunately, at this time, Xuanyuan Qinghe stood up and walked straight in front of Yang Wen, and the two looked at each other with three eyes, as if they could spark a spark.
"I, Lord Prefect, first order you to get out of the way for me, we have to check for hidden dangers of water, this is a must, you must understand?" Xuanyuan Qinghe said with a righteous attitude.
Li Xiaoran felt so strange, Xuanyuan Qinghe was cute for a while, serious for a while, and very domineering at this time, and he felt really incomprehensible in his heart.
Since they have already said so, not to mention that they are still the prefect, the biggest official in Qinzhou, there is no way, so Yang Wen will make a way and inspect the houses for them.
Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe entered Yang Wen's room, and the decorations in the room were extremely simple.
Like his father, he is also full of books, the only difference is that the shelves are all gray sitting, which can be seen.
This is an ornament, it is pretended to be shown by others, but in fact, I have never seen it or read it.
As soon as Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe entered, they divided into two ways, Li Xiaoran specialized in looking at small things, and Xuanyuan Qinghe specialized in looking at big things, just to find the murder weapon.
But who would have thought that after looking around, he still didn't find the dagger, and Li Xiaoran also felt tired, so he sat on the chair.
When he was about to pick up the tea and drink, he found that a dagger was lying quietly on the table, and the handle of the dagger was shining strangely.
Li Xiaoran slapped his head violently, and scolded himself fiercely in his heart, he didn't think about people, he was so close at hand.
But after slapping his head violently, Xuanyuan Qinghe was frightened, thinking that something had happened, so he immediately rushed over and hugged Li Xiaoran and asked if there was something wrong.
Li Xiaoran lay quietly in Xuanyuan Qinghe's arms like this, and did not speak, but kept looking at the teacup on the table with his eyes.
Xuanyuan Qinghe followed Li Xiaoran's guidance, and was immediately noticed by the dagger, and couldn't help but say: "It's really effortless, who knows that he is lying here quietly?!" ”
Xuanyuan Qinghe's smile was difficult to hide, the more he laughed, the more intense he became, Yang Wen also noticed this, looking at Xuanyuan Qinghe's smile, Yang Wen thought that there should be no hidden danger of going to water.
He responded, "I don't know what you say? I don't have a hidden danger of water here, and there is no fire, right? ”
Yang Wen asked for a long time, but he didn't get a response for a long time, and he felt very speechless when he saw Xuanyuan Qinghe and Li Xiaoran.
Because Li Xiaoran is still lying in Xuanyuan Qinghe's arms, in Yang Wen's opinion, he is undoubtedly abusing a single dog and sprinkling dog food!
Yang Wen wanted to beat his chest angrily, because it was too blocked, and he couldn't help but say: "Did you two hear me, there are still people here, pay attention to the impact!" ”
Li Xiaoran came back to his senses. got up from Xuanyuan Qinghe's arms and left, and looked at Yang Wen again, not knowing what he meant.
On the contrary, Xuanyuan Qinghe was very sober, and deliberately said to Yang Wen: "We have read it carefully, and there is indeed no hidden danger of water, but you have too many books here, so you should also pay attention to ventilation." ”
Yang Wen breathed a long sigh of relief, and did not feel any surprise, and now the two people in front of him should be leaving, so he showed a smile.
Said happily: "Since the two adults have finished checking and have not found anything bad, then please go back, I won't send it, see you later!" ”
Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe, when they heard this, they looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing, Yang Wen didn't know what he was laughing at, and he still wondered in his heart, why didn't these two leave?
"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just interested in this thing, can you give me a brief introduction? Xuanyuan Qinghe pointed to the dagger on the table and said, with a strange light in his eyes.
Yang Wen was stunned for a moment, feeling that this dagger was so familiar, as if it was used to kill that person that night.
This moment concentrated Yang Wen's spirit to a high degree, and in this moment, he was in a cold sweat, and even his legs couldn't help but start trembling, but the amplitude was smaller, so people couldn't see it.
But Yang Wen thought about it again, he killed someone casually that night, or in the middle of the night, and no one saw it at all.
Therefore, Yang Wen decided that Xuanyuan Qinghe had no evidence, just the next trap, and wanted to lead Yang Wen into the trap.
"This dagger? It's just a gadget, this is everywhere in Qinzhou, it's not surprising, if you're interested in this, I can also give it to you, as long as you don't dislike it. ”
Yang Wen changed his attitude and said with palpitations, and at the same time hoped that such a thing would not happen in the future, never again.
"Is that really the case? Then why did you go to Embroidery Lane a few days ago? Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't have to pretend anymore at this time, and said directly in a showdown.
Yang Wen choked up on these words, and thought incredulously in his heart: How can this new prefect know that I always go to Embroidery Lane?
"I go there for fun, I usually have nothing to do, I just go there to play, you don't think I killed someone, right?"
Yang Wen deliberately said this, wanting to explore the reality of Xuanyuan Qinghe, but in fact, he is also a nervous group now, for fear that it will be exposed.
"I didn't think that you and Miss Wang Zhi of the Wang family, what were you doing there together? Li Xiaoran asked with a result.
This question embarrassed Yang Wen, speaking of which, Yang Wen's face turned red inexplicably, and he scratched his head with his hand in embarrassment, looking particularly overwhelmed.
Li Xiaoran frowned when he saw Yang Wen like this, and thought suspiciously: Did I say something that shouldn't be said this time? As for the face to be red like that, it's really incomprehensible.
"We're just playing over there... Yes, it's playing over there, this one is playing. Yang Wen stammered suddenly, and kept repeating the word "play". ”
"Can you explain it? What are you covering up all of a stammer? Xuanyuan Qinghe couldn't stand it either, and said loudly.
Yang Wen couldn't bear it anymore, since these two people didn't want to listen to it, then I said it shamelessly, so I heard a particularly embarrassing sentence from the people around me.
"This is what you want me to say, it's just a little hobby of mine, writing about Fengyue there, so you know, do you understand!" After Yang Wenzheng finished speaking, he instantly became much more relaxed, and his snow-red face returned to normal.
Butler Yang Zhong coughed, walked out of the room casually, and stood outside the door waiting.
As soon as this sentence came out, the whole room was embarrassed, and finally knew why Yang Wen was so reluctant to say it.
"I didn't inquire if I knew it, but it's really embarrassing!" Li Xiaoran muttered in a very small voice.
A large patch of crimson also appeared on his face, and the roots of his ears slowly turned red, and his skin, which was originally white as snow, instantly turned red.
"I know, you go with us to the prison of the prefect's yamen, you can't escape, we have conclusive evidence now."
After Xuanyuan Qinghe recovered from the embarrassment, he swore to Yang Wen.
"I didn't kill anyone, why should I go, are you doing things like this?" Yang Wen immediately retorted, becoming more and more emotional.
