Chapter 31 Retaining People (2nd Watch)
An Huajin didn't expect Chu Chen and Jiang Yunyi to come so quickly, he thought that Gu Qingyan would hand over Xu Cheng to Jiang Yunyi and send him to the prison of the Criminal Department, even if the confession was submitted soon, if he wanted to find out who instructed Xu Cheng, he would have to wait a few days.
After all, according to Xu Cheng's description, he was still confused, and he didn't even say what he looked like.
She thought that Anping would be able to stay in An's old house for a few days.
When Uncle Sun came to tell Xiao Wang Chen and Master Jiang to come to the door, she looked at Gu Qingyan who was sitting on the side and muttered, "I really underestimated Chu Chen!" β
Gu Qingyan smiled, "He's very smart." Prince Good knew that he was smart since he was a child, and he probably deliberately raised him into a domineering little prince in the eyes of everyone. β
After all, his surname is Chu, and he was born in the palace, if he is extremely smart and talented without any shortcomings, and his reputation is better than that of many princes, it is not good. Although Prince Good can't see how smart he is, he is really not stupid.
An Huajin sat up straight, "No, you can't take them away for the time being." β
Gu Qingyan looked at her, "What do you think, waiting for Zhang Zaifu's people to kill Anping?" Catch a current? β
"Well, that's what it means." An Huajin nodded, "For Zhang Zaifu, the official has been in a high position for many years, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the government and the opposition, and Concubine Cheng can place people in the criminal department, let alone Zhang Zaifu?" If the prison of the Criminal Department is not safe, Anping will be a dead end. β
Gu Qingyan nodded.
An Huajin said, "What's more, now that Concubine Cheng is out of order in the palace, and His Majesty is pretending to be sick again, he can't come out to deal with this matter immediately, even if An Ping goes out to submit a confession to Zhang Zaifu in this case, it will always be suppressed for two days, and in these two days, no one can guarantee that there are no variables." Even if it's you, you can't stretch out your hand to protect the whole of the criminal department, right? β
"Hmm." Gu Qingyan bowed.
"Only Chu Chen and Jiang Yunyi simply came, and the two of them were easier to say, so let them not take people first." An Huajin thought about it, "What do you say?" β
"Yes." Gu Qingyan agreed.
So, after Uncle Sun invited Chu Chen and Jiang Yunyi into the An family's old house, An Huajin and Gu Qingyan met with the two in the newspaper hall. After asking about the intention, seeing that it was really for Anping, An Huajin directly pushed it and asked them to arrest people after Concubine Cheng's funeral.
Chu Chen was puzzled, "Little girl, why don't you let me take someone?" He's very suspicious, and you're dangerous. β
An Huajin glanced at him, "If it was dangerous, I would have been poisoned by him a long time ago." Don't wait until now. β
"Reason." Chu Chen stared at her, "Then you have to give me a reason, right?" β
"Didn't eat enough of the food he cooked. You wait a few days to come back, I guess I'm tired of eating by then. An Hua Jin gave a reason.
Chu Chen "......"
He held his breath and was speechless, "You're really not afraid of being poisoned!" I still eat it. β
He found that he had been very sad recently, and as long as he faced An Huajin, he could be angry with her, and this bastard was very angry. And after being angry, he was still very calm and at ease.
He was not stupid, and said with a stiff face, "You don't fool me, I don't believe it." If you don't give me a real reason, I have the emperor's order, and I have to take people today. β
If you don't eat the soft one, he will come hard too.
An Huajin saw that he moved his real character, probably he has been blocked by him too many times recently, and she was angry, she is also a person who can bend and stretch, and she will not be fooled immediately, and said honestly, "The character he confessed to is too big, and now His Majesty is not in good health, I am afraid that if you take him to the criminal department and cannot save his life, I want to keep him alive, so you wait a few days." β
Whether it was to fool people or to tell the truth, Chu Chen naturally distinguished, and his anger came quickly, "You really said that it will not be long ago?" β
An Huajin also glared, "I was frightened by the poisoned tea case and the poisoned wine case and the death of Concubine Cheng, and I was in a bad mood. β
A bad mood is specifically manifested in a bad attitude towards him? Why don't you see her having a bad attitude towards Gu Qingyan?
Chu Chen rolled his eyes, "Okay, promise you." β
Since he agreed, Jiang Yunyi naturally had no opinion, and changed his words, "Thank you to the little county lord for opening up to her sister that day." β
"That's a favor for you, not to mention that your sister didn't do anything." An Huajin waved his hand.
Chu Chen was speechless on the side, his sister was really incomparable to Jiang Yunyi's sister, impulsive, brainless, squeamish, and arrogant, relying on his identity to bully people, he did a lot of things, and he was really much more honest when he touched the nail of An Huajin. Jiang Yunyi thanked him, in fact, he should also thank An Huajin, at least she didn't really kill Chu Siyan, but he didn't want to thank her, so as not to listen to her again.
The four of them sat together and chatted for a while, and when it was almost noon, An Huajin simply stayed for dinner.
After dinner, the two left the old house.
The two left on the front foot, and the eldest princess came to visit An Huajin.
If there are a few people in this capital who care about An Huajin, the eldest princess is really one, in addition to being the matchmaker of An Huajin's marriage entrusted by the Gu family, she is also a former friend of An Huajin's mother. Although it is not an iron handkerchief, the friendship is also excellent.
When Uncle Sun came to say goodbye, An Huajin waved his hand to Gu Qingyan, "You go and take a nap!" You don't have to see the eldest princess. β
"I'm not too sleepy, I can accompany you to see me."
An Huajin remembered that day in the Thousand Acres Peach Garden behind her back and what she said to the eldest princess and was still angry, if the eldest princess saw that he and her were now in harmony, maybe what to think, and then run to His Majesty to say something, it would be for her to make trouble.
She chased him mercilessly, "No, you have to go to a nap." β
Gu Qingyan was helpless, so she could only rely on her and get up with a smile.
An Huajin then instructed Uncle Sun to welcome the eldest princess in.
The eldest princess did not come empty-handed, but loaded the clothes, jewelry, rouge, gouache, etc. prepared for An Huajin in the peach garden that day and sent them to the car.
As soon as she entered the door, she hugged An Huajin, "Little An'er, are you okay?" β
An Huajin was stunned by her enthusiasm, the eldest princess is not a person who likes to pounce on people, she has a habit of bathing three times a day, especially in summer, and keeps a distance from people at all times. Once An Huajin doubted how she and the colt should get along on weekdays, how she could stand it in bed at night, and she didn't come up with a reason.
"It's okay, princess, don't worry." An Huajin reached out and patted her on the back.
The eldest princess remembered at this time, her body stiffened, and she immediately let go of her, "It's okay, it's really scared to death." I don't know which one is hiding in the shadows and wants your life, Your Majesty will definitely not be able to spare him if he finds out. β
"Well, that's for sure." An Huajin didn't think that Zhang Jaefu could continue to be free.
While the two were talking, they entered the newspaper hall, and after sitting down, the eldest princess looked An Huajin up and down carefully, and then lowered her voice and said, "The poisoned tea case is just that, you tell me, is there another inside story in the poisoned wine case?" β
An Huajin poured her a cup of tea with her own hands, "I don't know very well, I was very confused that day." If you want to know, go and ask Your Majesty? If His Majesty hadn't sent the Praetorian Guard, I wouldn't have known what to do. β
The eldest princess glared at her, "Where do I dare to ask Your Majesty?" You can't say it, forget it, I don't have to know. As she spoke, she sighed, "It's just that I feel that the world is impermanent, and the good and majestic Concubine Cheng has been blessed in Beijing for twenty years, and she went so suddenly." It's unexpected. β
An Huajin couldn't imagine that whoever asked Concubine Cheng not to do good things, and bad things would not be exposed one day.
"What about Gu Qigongzi? Hasn't he been accompanying you in the old mansion, why don't you see anyone? "The eldest princess is most concerned about this, so today I have to come to see how the two get along.
"He's scared, I said I don't need to accompany him, he doesn't, he can't hold on, Uncle Sun found him a yard to rest." Anhua Jin's tone should be as casual as he was concerned.
The eldest princess didn't believe it, "Gu Qigongzi is not a person who will be frightened by such things, right?" β
"How not?" An Huajin raised his eyebrows and said nonsense, "That's because you didn't see it, the blood covered the front yard that day, and it almost flooded the house." β
The eldest princess suddenly remembered that the people brought out of the palace by Concubine Cheng, including her, did not leave the An family's old mansion, even if she was a princess, she had lived in the palace since she was a child and was used to seeing life and death, and she couldn't help but shudder when she thought about it.
"Gu's family is upright, Shili is a family heirloom, and he is such a gentle and elegant character, since he was a child, where have he ever seen this kind of thing, is it very strange to be scared?"
"Yes, it's not unusual." The eldest princess felt justified.
An Huajin continued to smear Gu Qingyan, "If you want me to say, you should take him to the Nanyang Army for training, so that he won't be white when he sees a little blood." Any soldier in the army is bolder than him. β
Eldest Princess: "......"
Why did she think that this didn't sound good, how could Gu Qigongzi, who was nearly ten points perfect, come to her and be disgusted like something? This...... How can she continue to enthusiastically protect them from the media?
Although the investigation of the poisoned tea case, the poisoned wine case, and the grain robbery case is in full swing, coupled with the funeral of Concubine Cheng, this is not very important, but what about after these things in the past? You can't just give up halfway, right?
Until the eldest princess left, the topic could not continue.
