Chapter 45: Aftermath
"Impossible."
Xie Yuan blurted out without hesitation.
When he went to Jingnan before, he heard the news of Chen's mother and daughter, and after he rescued them, he protected their mother and daughter in Jingnan for more than two months.
Chen's temperament is soft, and although Su Ruan was full of spikes at that time, he trusted him very much without knowing his identity.
They have been together day and night for two months, and if there is something around Chen's mother and daughter, they will definitely not be able to hide it.
However, Xie Yuan had never seen any account books from the two of them.
Xie Yuan looked at Qi Wenfu calmly, although he didn't want to say more to him, but Qi Wenfu had a special identity, although he was just the country's priest wine, but he was too close to the holy driver, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not cause any trouble if he offended him.
Xie Yuan could only endure the coldness and explained:
"Lord Qi, Ben Hou doesn't know where you heard about the account books, but when you were in Jingnan, Su Xuanmin really didn't leave anything, and later Ben Hou took over the Jingnan Governor's Mansion for a period of time, and he never saw any account books."
Hearing this, Qi Wenfu raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yuan, as if he was looking at the truth of his words.
Xie Yuan was very displeased with this kind of gaze, and said coldly: "There is no need for Ben Hou to lie to you, if Lord Qi came to the mansion today just for this matter, then Ben Hou can only say that he wants to disappoint you, as for the other ......"
His brows were cold, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
"If Lord Qi wants to do something, Ben Hou may not be able to stop him, but the people Ben Hou wants to protect, no one should think about getting hurt."
Whether it's Chen, or Su Ruan.
Since they have entered the gate of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, they are the people of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and he will definitely protect their mother and daughter!
Qi Wenfu looked at Xie Yuan, who was sharp, and his eyebrows were furrowed.
Xie Yuan's words didn't seem to be false, and the account book was left in Xie Yuan's hands, which was not good for him at all, but the news he got that Su Xuanmin did have the account book in his hand, but after Su Xuanmin's death, the account book disappeared......
Qi Wenfu spoke: "Master Xie, can I meet your lady and daughter." β
"No way!"
Xie Yuan did not hesitate to speak out.
"Lord Xie ......"
"Lord Qi, my wife is not in good health, and she is recuperating now, so it is not suitable to see guests."
What's more, there is no reason for women to see foreign men.
Qi Wenfu looked at Xie Yuan: "What about Miss Su?" β
"She can't either!"
Xie Yuan always felt that Qi Wenfu suddenly came to visit the mansion, and he didn't have a good heart when he mentioned Jingnan's affairs.
What's more, no one knows how many things are involved in the so-called account book, and he tried his best to clean up the past of Chen's mother and daughter, but he didn't expect to be found by Qi Wenfu.
He didn't want Qi Wenfu to see Chen and Su Ruan at all, so as not to cause trouble for them.
As for the identities of the two of them, he concealed it only for those who had malicious intentions towards Su Xuanmin's family, as for the emperor's side, he had already passed the clear road, even if it was exposed, the emperor would not condemn him, and he was not afraid.
Xie Yuan got up directly and said coldly: "Ben Hou has other things, so he won't entertain Lord Qi." Someone, send off! β
As soon as his words fell, Qi Wenfu said:
"Does Master Xie know why I'm here today?"
Xie Yuan didn't want to hear it.
Qi Wenfu said to himself: "Chen Anning, the head of the household, committed suicide in the mansion the night before yesterday. β
Xie Yuan's face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to say that it was impossible.
If Tobe Shangshu really committed suicide in the house, how could the DPRK not even have the slightest news?
But Qi Wenfu seemed to know what he wanted to say, and said directly:
"A few months before Chen Anning committed suicide, the emperor had already ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to secretly investigate the corruption of the household department, and then involved the matter of the national treasury empty and no grain relief during the great drought in Jingnan two years ago."
"The clues were interrupted when they were found all the way to Su Xuanmin, but it also revealed that he had a household account book in his hand, and he still had a wife and daughter alive, so someone went to chase and kill the mouth at that time, and then Su Xuanmin's wife and daughter suddenly disappeared, and the traces were wiped out."
"Although the Hou Ye asked the emperor for marriage, you shouldn't have told the emperor that the person you married is Su Xuanmin's widow, right?"
Xie Yuan's face changed, and he looked at Qi Wenfu with a gloomy face.
η₯ζεΊ says:
"After the news from Su Xuanmin's side was broken, the Metropolitan Procuratorate could only continue to check the existing people in the Ministry of Households, but as soon as Chen Anning was found, Chen Anning committed suicide directly in the mansion."
"The people in his house found a blood letter and two account books where he committed suicide, and the piles on them all pointed directly to Nan Yuanshan, the second assistant, accusing him of colluding with the household department, embezzling bribes, and emptying the treasury."
"At that time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was already investigating Chen Anning and sent someone to infiltrate Chen's mansion, so the news could be passed on to the emperor as soon as Chen Anning died, and the emperor ordered people to block the entire Chen family and hide the news of his suicide for two days."
Qi Wenfu looked at the changing look on Xie Yuan's face and said to him:
"I have no intention of embarrassing Lord Hou, but Lord Xie, if you don't find out the account book in Su Xuanmin's hand, the court will not be able to be peaceful, and your back house will probably be in trouble.
"If the evidence is conclusive, and there is nothing enough to clear his name, it will be impossible for the emperor to help him at that time."
What's more, the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea.
Although Nan Yuanshan has won the emperor's heart, who can guarantee that after there are more people, the emperor will not be shaken.
If someone keeps telling him that Nan Yuanshan is a traitor and a traitor, can the emperor always believe in him so much?
Xie Yuan had already changed color when he heard the word "second assistant", and when he heard the news that the emperor had ordered someone to block it, his face changed greatly, and he said suddenly: "The emperor asked you to come?" β
Qi Wenfu shook his head: "No." β
"The emperor has sent the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department to investigate this matter, and Dali Temple cooperates, and no one knows that Su Xuanmin's wife and daughter are in your mansion for the time being, but Lord Xie, the identity of their mother and daughter can't be hidden for long."
"If you can't find the account books, sooner or later someone will talk about them again, and the trouble for them will only continue."
Qi Wenfu looked at him and said:
"I owe Nan a favor, and I happened to guess their identities, and Nan and Xie Hou Ye have also been colleagues for many years, I don't want to come to Xie Hou Ye and not save him, right?"
Xie Yuan frowned tightly, looking at Qi Wenfu with suspicion, but what Qi Wenfu said was too serious, and Chen Anning committed suicide, it was impossible to fake.
Qi Wenfu saw the hesitation in Xie Yuan's eyes, and said: "If Hou Ye Xie doesn't believe it, you can join me, I only see their mother and daughter, ask about some things, you can stand by the side." β
