Chapter Ninety-Seven: Suspicion
Listening to Xiao Jinyan's words, Xie Youwei couldn't help frowning.
"Is there someone behind the Ring Pavilion?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded.
"It's not just those rich businessmen who are tied up by that disgraceful means in Huancai Pavilion, but many of them are court officials."
"Besides, before that, the pavilion master of the Huancai Pavilion was just a slave trader on the other side of the border, who came to the capital for no reason, and directly chartered a building, and opened the building in full swing."
"Not to mention, how can he, a border person, have so many connections in the capital and can do so many things."
"I didn't think it was right, so I tortured it."
Xie Youwei looked up at Xiao Jinyan's face.
Xiao Jinyan's voice was still smooth and soft, and his face was only frowning slightly.
Although it was so bland, Xie Youwei still guessed the waves below.
For such a big matter, it was naturally Xiao Jinyan who went to interrogate him personally.
If Xiao Jinyan went to interrogate in person...... That's not easy.
Xie Youwei didn't dwell too much on the matter of torture for too long.
"So what came out of the torture at the end?"
Xiao Jinyan shook his head.
"No, I didn't even say it when I was killed, but my temperament was very fierce, and I almost killed myself."
Xie You opened his lips slightly, but in the end he didn't make any sound.
Is there anyone else behind it?
In the capital, if you want to control those court officials for your own use, how can you just be a person who wants to make money.
It must be someone who has a desire for a position of power.
Xie Youwei's heart inexplicably appeared with a person's name.
Chuchin.
Chu Qin in the original book suddenly rose in the back, and he had so many forces in his hands, which made Chu Yan toss enough.
There are so many forces, and it is clear that Chu Qin has secretly developed them before.
Wan Cai Court ...... Wouldn't it be one of the forces developed by Chuqin?
Thinking of this, Xie You frowned slightly, and he couldn't believe it in his heart.
Chu Qin had helped her a few times, even if Chu Qin had ulterior motives, Xie Youwei should also be grateful to Chu Qin.
But because of the preconceived impression of the original work, Xie Youwei had no way not to doubt Chu Qin.
Xie Youwei was a little entangled.
Xiao Jinyan saw the expression on Xie Youwei's face, frowned and pressed down a little, looking at Xie Youwei's expression with a little worry.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Youwei came back to his senses and shook his head.
Brainless suspicion, saying this, even if it is Xiao Jinyan, who she has a good impression of now, is not appropriate.
Xie Youwei smiled and changed the subject.
"This time the movement of Huancai Pavilion is so big, and so many people are implicated, won't you have big trouble next?"
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes, and saw a little worry in Xie Youwei's eyebrows, and suddenly his mood improved.
Xie Youwei saw Xiao Jinyan suddenly hook his lips and let out a chuckle.
He raised his arm, his bony hand covering the bottom half of his face, blocking the smile.
Xie You blinked slightly.
Xiao Jinyan doesn't smile often, but what Xie Youwei sees the most is the faint smile that Xiao Jinyan gently hooks the corners of his lips.
This is the first time Xiao Jinyan has smiled so happily in front of her.
Xie You pursed his lips slightly, raised his hand and pinned the hair on his sideburns behind his ears, blocking the somewhat reddened earlobes.
"Laughing at what? What's so funny about that. ”
"It's fine." Xiao Jinyan put down his hand, with a smile on his face that had not completely faded, "I just suddenly felt a little happy." ”
Xie Youwei was teased by Xiao Jinyan's almost straight words, and his face turned a little redder.
The tone also changed from normal at the beginning to an unnatural mumble.
"If only you answered my question directly?"
Xiao Jinyan couldn't hold back a smile.
"Don't worry about me, I don't have any problems, if they want to retaliate, they can come boldly and get me out of the position of commander if they have the ability."
Xiao Jinyan's words were relaxed, but Xie Youwei's eyes widened.
Xiao Jinyan is so powerful?
Xie Youwei was a little dazed, and spoke half-loudly and half-jokingly.
"Talking so crazy, could it be that you still have a hidden identity? Which young master is it? ”
Xiao Jinyan's body was still stiff when he heard Xie Youwei talk about the front, and when he heard the nervous emotions in the back, he slowly dissipated little by little.
Probably in a good mood today, Xiao Jinyan actually joked with Xie Youwei in a relaxed tone.
"Yes, I said that I am the prince, do you believe it?"
The words were relaxed, but only Xiao Jinyan himself, and the tightly clenched fist behind his back, knew how nervous he was.
Xie Youwei laughed directly when she heard Xiao Jinyan's words.
"You're really in a good mood today, and you're starting to joke."
There was a prince in the dynasty, and he was the villain of Chu Qin.
Xiao Jinyan and Chu Qin, two people who are not related, how can it be?
Xiao Jinyan looked at Xie Youwei's appearance, and also hooked his lips, and the fist behind him opened easily.
"Well, tease you."
Xie You smiled and didn't take this matter to heart.
However, seeing Xiao Jinyan like this made Xie Youwei feel a little relieved.
Now that we're in the mood to joke, there shouldn't be any problem with it.
"By the way, I brought you something."
Xie You tilted his head slightly and blinked suspiciously.
Under Xie Youwei's gaze, Xiao Jinyan took out a bag of oil-paper wrapped things.
Xie Youwei's eyes were sharp, and he saw the three big characters written in ink on the red paper on the top of the oiled paper package-Xingwei Zhai.
Xingwei Zhai is the largest high-point shop in the capital.
If you want to eat sweets from Fun Food, you can't buy them without waiting in line for half an hour.
Xie Youwei remembered that when she came out of the Zhenfu Division some time ago, she accompanied Xie Nianzhu to Xingwei Zhai to buy peach blossom cakes.
There was a queue for almost an hour that day, and Xie Youwei was almost about to lose her desire for life.
But the reason why there is such a long queue is really because it is worth it.
Xie Youwei still remembers the taste of the peach blossom crisp that day.
It's really much better than the peach blossom crisp sold outside.
Xiao Jinyan smiled and handed the bag of pastries with residual warmth to Xie Youwei.
"On the way, I met their new chestnut crisp, it smelled quite fragrant, I don't know if you will like it."
Xie Youwei's eyes widened.
Chestnut crisp!
There are not many chestnuts in this season, and chestnut crisp is naturally very rare.
Xingwei Zhai has come out of chestnut crisp in the past two days, Xie Youwei naturally knows, but the amount is small, and there are many people in line, Xie Youwei sent people to go twice and didn't get it, so it was best to give up the idea of eating chestnut crisp.
Xiao Jinyan said it simply, but Xie Youwei didn't really think that Xiao Jinyan really bought one in the past.
