Chapter 126: Questioning Qu An (1)
"Miss Chen, don't worry, I'm fine." Without waiting for Chen Chaoyan to speak, Shi Yun quickly said.
"And said it was fine." The clothes are thin in summer, and the cup of tea is spilled, or it is splashed on the chest, I don't know...... Chen Chaoyan stepped forward and gently held her arm, "Let's go, go to the backyard and let Yuejian take a look." ”
"Actually, it's fine, just take cold water and apply it." Shi Yun said.
"Take cold water and apply it too, right? Let's go. Chen Chaoyan couldn't help but take her out of the inverted room and walked towards the backyard.
Zhou Rongrong followed.
"I'm sorry Miss Chen." Shi Yun pressed his eyes and said.
"What are you bothering me," Chen Chaoyan said calmly, "You saved me, I should thank you." ”
Yuejian glanced at Shi Yun and did not speak.
Others can't see clearly, but she can see clearly.
He Qiluo's hand had just touched the cup, and she had already stopped Chen Chaoyan. She could obviously choose to push He Qiluo away to avoid the pain of splashing water.
"Mrs. He only has a daughter from Sister Qiluo, so it is inevitable that she will be pampered." Xu was aware of her coldness, Shi Yun endured the burning pain in her chest, and said slowly, "However, Sister Qiluo treats me very well. In the past, as long as I stood up, she would stop. Today, I was slower to react to make her ......."
"What's going on!" Xie Xuan came out of the ear room, saw a few people, and after his eyes narrowed slightly, he interrupted her unfinished words.
Shi Yun and Zhou Rongrong glanced at it quickly, and immediately lowered their heads and waved their hands.
Although he only changed at a glance, his abundant appearance and bone charm made the two of them instantly understand why He Qiluo was so crazy after seeing him two days ago.
Yuejian didn't know what the two of them were thinking, so he took a few steps forward and quickly told him what happened in the upside-down room.
After Xie Xuan listened, his eyes fell on Chen Chaoyan. Seeing that she was not injured, while relieving her heart, she said with deep meaning: "Zhu Jiu Clan? ”
"Take Miss Shi Er to see the injury first." Chen Chaoyan commanded.
Bai Shao came over and took Shi Yun to the east wing.
Zhou Rongrong is still close behind.
Yuejian didn't leave, obviously still annoyed with He Qiluo, and wanted to stay and continue to complain.
Chen Chaoyan didn't give her a chance. After glancing at the east wing, he turned around and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Xie Xuan looked at her with a slightly dark look in his eyes: "I'm sorry what?" ”
Chen Chaoyan said straightforwardly: "I don't know her temperament, and I know her thoughts about the prince, but I still want to tease and make such a result." ”
Yuejian stepped forward to defend her, but Xie Xuan stretched out the jade bone landscape fan to stop her. After that, he looked at Chen Chaoyan and said slowly: "Is the princess sorry because of the result, or is she sorry for teasing her?" ”
"Is there a difference?" Chen Chaoyan raised his eyes to look at him.
"Absolutely." Xie Xuan also looked at her, "You are the princess of Jin who has not passed through the door of this king, it is her honor if you want to tease her, if you are sorry for this, it is really unnecessary." As for the result, let the soldiers take good care of her...... Each of those folding soldiers is one in a hundred, and can fight one to ten. Let them take care of her, doesn't the princess feel that it is a humiliation? ”
Chen Chaoyan looked at him with a sharp gaze: "According to the prince's opinion, what should I do with her?" ”
Xie Xuan chuckled and knocked on her head, meaning something: "The princess has justice in her heart, is good at convincing people with reason and morality, and does not like to kill, this king will not correct it, nor will it stop it." But the princess needs to remember that this is Da Wei, and the rules and regulations are all marked with respect and inferiority. You are the princess of this king, and naturally you also have the power of life and death. ”
Chen Chaoyan's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly had the illusion that he already knew where she came from. But on closer inspection, he is still the same as ever.
"What are you doing?" After Xie Xuan removed the deep meaning in his eyes, he knocked her again.
Chen Chaoyan covered his head, took two steps back, and after staying away from him, he said, "Lord He should be coming over soon, the prince will look at it, and I'll go see Miss Shi Er." ”
"Go ahead." Xie Xuandao.
Chen Chaoyan waved his hand and left.
Xie Xuan looked at her back, his smile gradually retracted, and a ray of cold light appeared in his eyes at a glance.
He Yunhu came quickly.
Also there were county Cheng Shi Feng and county lieutenant Zhou Dong.
After inviting the soldiers at the door to go in and report, the three of them waited respectfully on the flat dam.
The sun has set.
The sunset has also faded.
The cool breeze carried black clouds like giant beasts from the Changze Mountains and slowly covered them, first in Dongyin County, and then in Dongjiang River, and gradually came to Qu Zhai. When the Qu Mansion was also engulfed, the starlight in the sky gradually appeared like scattered diamonds. Then, the moon also came.
However, Xie Xuan did not appear.
The three of them did not dare to urge, and they all waited patiently.
Until Shi Yun and Zhou Rongrong came out.
"Daddy." Shi Yun stepped forward quickly, waved his hand at He Yunhu and saluted, before looking at Shi Feng.
Shi Feng glanced at the gate of the courtyard, then at the newly changed clothes on her body, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
He Yunhu also asked urgently: "Tell me what's going on?" ”
Shi Yun looked at the panic and panic on his face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after suppressing the coldness, he asked, "Didn't Huai Jin and He Yue say?" ”
He Yunhu urged: "You say yours, don't care what they do!" ”
Shi Feng suppressed his eyes with disdain, and explained in a low voice: "The two of them only said that you angered Miss Chen, and Miss Chen asked someone to take care of you, let us come over quickly." ”
"What are you talking about, don't hurry up!" He Yunhu urged again.
Shi Yun lowered her eyebrows slightly, and after being well-behaved, she said 1510.
When He Yunhu heard He Qiluo's words about the Nine Clans, he stumbled. Hearing the maidservant say that offending He Qiluo would end up, the person stumbled again. was finally helped up by Zhou Dong, but after he shouted, 'Lord, Weichen has been wronged', he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
After Shi Feng gave Zhou Dong and Shi Yun a look respectively, he also knelt down.
Zhou Dong also knelt.
Shi Yun glanced at Zhou Rongrong and knelt down.
Five people, kneeling in two rows.
The black clouds dispersed, and the sun rose.
It's a new day.
After breakfast, Chen Chaoyan just decided to take a walk outside, and when he learned that He Yunhu and the others were still kneeling outside, he immediately stopped.
"Sit down." Xie Xuandao.
Chen Chaoyan snorted, sat down in a chair not far from him, and after drinking half a cup of tea, asked Yuejian to take the Qu family's case file.
Xie Xuan also looked at the notice.
Halfway through the post, two doves cooed and landed on the window.
Chonglou stepped forward, took off the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's legs, took out the note in it, looked at it twice, and handed it to Xie Xuan. After that, I went to the table and picked up two pieces of pastry, poured two cups of water and put them on the window.
The two pigeons immediately cooed and ate and drank.
After Xie Xuan finished reading the contents of the note, he raised his eyes to see Chen Chaoyan looking at him intently. Hook the corners of her mouth, hand the note to the waiter, and let the waiter take it to her.
If you can show her, it must not be a secret. Chen Chaoyan generously took the note.
Sure enough, the contents of the note were simple.
One is the news that Chen Qiyang had arrived in the capital two days ago.
One is the complete case file of the old case of the Qu family in the Criminal Department, together with the dagger of Qu Wen's murder and Qu Qiyuan's masterpiece, all of which have been safely delivered to Qu An.
"Relieved?" Xie Xuan asked.
After Chen Qiyang went to the capital, although she never asked, she looked at the direction of the capital from time to time, and Xie Xuan saw it all.
Chen Chaoyan nodded and said comfortably: "Feel at ease." ”
"Can you properly investigate the Qu family's case?" Xie Xuan asked intentionally.
Chen Chaoyan nodded again.
Xie Xuan chuckled twice, turned his head and ordered Nanling, "Go and call Qu An." ”
Nanling went out, and before the tea cup was time, he came back with Qu An.
Qu An carefully took the case file, dagger and the last book, and as soon as he entered the room with an excited face, he knelt down, "Lord Wang! ”
As soon as the words came out, the cry overflowed.
Yue Jian stepped forward, took the case file and the book, and handed it to Chen Chaoyan.
Chen Chaoyan read the book first.
The book is written in regular script, the handwriting is very neat, and the content is also gorgeous.
Chen Chaoyan read it word by word with great interest, and after examining the dagger again, he looked at the case file.
The case file of the Criminal Department is no different from the case file in Dongyin County, the only difference is that there are a few more interrogation processes and confessions, but Chen Chaoyan still read it carefully twice before putting it away.
And when she watched, Xie Xuan was not idle. He asked Qu An, "Did your grandfather ever make trouble because of alcohol before he committed the crime?" ”
Qu An said excitedly: "Never! Since the beginning of the record, most of our Qu family have only married one wife without concubines. Therefore, my grandfather was not greedy for wine, nor was he good at women, at most he indulged in landscapes. The only aunt is also a grandmother who is not in good health, so she came back to take care of him. Even so, my grandfather rarely went to my aunt's room. As a junior, he shouldn't talk about his elders, but whether it is his grandmother or aunt, whether it is his appearance, or his character, or his talents, he is countless better than the widow surnamed Zhou. Grandfather has no reason to let his grandmother and aunt go and defile her! ”
Xie Xuan said indifferently: "But the fact is that he went to Widow Zhou's house and killed her." ”
"Grandfather didn't kill anyone, he was killed by a traitor!" Qu An said firmly.
Xie Xuan was still indifferent, "What is the evidence?" ”
Qu An was speechless for an instant, but in an instant, he simply knelt down and turned around, kowtowed to Chen Chaoyan and said, "Please show mercy to Miss Chen and wash away the grievances of my grandfather and father!" ”
Chen Chaoyan raised his head from the case file, "You said that your Qu family only marries one wife?" ”
"I don't know if the Qu family is different, but most of our branch only have one wife." Qu An touched his head and said, "If Miss Chen doesn't believe it, there is genealogy to corroborate it." ”
Chen Chaoyan originally asked casually, but after hearing him mention the Qu family's other branches, his heart moved slightly, and he motioned to the waiter to prepare pen and ink to help record the next conversation between her and Qu An.
After she was ready, Chen Chaoyan asked: "Your great-grandfather went back to Dongyin County to recuperate, because the Qu family's ancestral home is in Dongyin County?" ”
Qu An said yes, but when it came to the ancestral home of the Qu family, he didn't have much emotion, "The ancestral home of the Qu family is in Qiping Township, Dingjiu Town, Dongyin County, and there are still eight Qu families living in their ancestral hometown. Our branch was originally a side branch, but it was expelled before my great-grandfather was proud. Although the great-grandfather later got ahead, these people came to climb the old love, and the great-grandfather was a nostalgic person, regardless of the past suspicions, he reunited with them and continued to communicate, but the relationship was not close in the end. ”
Chen Chaoyan looked at the waiter, and after seeing her nodding to indicate that she had written it down, he continued to ask, "What does it mean that it is not close?" ”
