Chapter 544: Origin (I)
Feng Hu brought back Yirong Yiku's corpse, and after Chen Ao saw it, he believed Lan Yuyan's words for eight or nine points.
At the beginning, Yirong Yikut disappeared with Xiao Ting, needless to say, he could guess that these two confused old monks must have been deceived by Xiao Ting. But he couldn't guess why these two men died tragically. Moreover, where are Xiao Ting and Xuan Ning now?
At this moment, Xu Minghua hurriedly walked in with two soldiers. Xu Minghua and the other three were exposed by Chen Ao's trick, and now they are living like a year. They were afraid that Chen Ao would expose their crimes to the imperial court, and they were also worried that Lan Yuyan would find out that they had told Chen Ao everything. Looking at the fierce men under her, she must not be soft on traitors.
But now that things haven't come to that point, they have to pretend to be normal and not mess with themselves. Xu Minghua didn't sleep well all night, and rushed to the county office early in the morning with two dark circles under his eyes. Looking around, I saw that there was no rumor, so I was a little relieved. But the soldiers guarding the door came in a hurry, and he was startled again.
After listening to what they reported, Xu Minghua didn't dare to make his own claims, so he took people to Chen Ao. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he happened to see Lan Yuyan, Xu Minghua's heart shook, and the soles of his feet involuntarily slowed down. But seeing that Chen Ao and her did not look like enemies of life and death, Xu Minghua couldn't help but feel a little confused.
What is the relationship between these two people? Xu Minghua was puzzled. It wasn't until Chen Ao opened his mouth to ask him what was the matter that Xu Minghua came back to his senses.
He hurriedly reported what the guards had said. It turned out that in the early hours of this morning, before dawn, a group of people rode horses, forcibly opened the west gate, and went out of the city. Although the gate of the city was guarded by soldiers, it was peaceful for a long time. The soldiers let their guard down, so that they woke up when they were gone.
Chen Ao didn't rush to reprimand them, thinking to himself, in connection with what happened last night, could it be that the person who went out of the West Gate was Xiao Ting?
Thinking of this, he asked, "Is there a girl among the people who went out of the city?"
The soldier shook his head and quickly said, "Those people are all wearing night clothes, and they all look like five big and three thick men, and there are no girls. After a while, however, a girl came after her on horseback. She also asked us at the gate if anyone had just left the city. We didn't come back to our senses for a while, so we let her go out too. ”
Chen Ao nodded, it should be certain now that the people who went out of the city were indeed Xiao Ting and Xuan Ning. According to what the soldier said, it should be Xuanning chasing Xiao Ting. Could it be that Xiao Ting killed the second monk, and Xuan Ning chased him over in order to take revenge?
Chen Ao believed in Xuanning's stability and martial arts, and when he saw that things were developing like this, he didn't worry much about it, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Along with him was the blue jade smoke. Although she couldn't figure out the relationship between these people inside, she vaguely felt that Chen Ao's wife should not be in any danger. She was even more secretly frightened, she knew the strength of those people in Xiao Ting, that Xuanning could actually run away with these Khitan men alone, it can be seen that this woman is not simple!
Chen Ao waved his hand and asked Xu Minghua to leave with the soldiers. These people thought that the magistrate would be punished heavily, but they didn't expect that Chen Ao was in a good mood and didn't even say a word of seriousness. They couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly left the county office.
Lan Yuyan smiled at this time: "It seems that Mrs. Chen is not in any danger, the magistrate can rest assured now!"
Chen Ao bowed slightly, and said to Feng Hu: "You arrange two people to go out of the west gate to answer Xuanning." ”
Holkoz took the two bodies to the morgue of the county office. Lan Yuyan said, "Lord Chen, since this matter is just a little misunderstanding between us, shouldn't you hand over Boss Wan and his goods to me?"
Chen Ao glanced at her with a smile and said, "Boss Lan, after talking about private matters just now, let's talk about business matters." This Wan Yeqiu smuggled arms, and he had already violated the laws of our dynasty. How can I hand him over to you? and his goods, all of which are forbidden, and naturally they must be handed over to the imperial court. Just now, Boss Lan made a mistake and actually said that I would give you those things. You can't talk nonsense. The two of us have a good relationship, so I don't take it seriously, and I have to be cautious in my words and deeds in the future!"
Lan Yuyan's strange and charming eyes glared suddenly, pointing at Chen Ao so angry that he couldn't speak. She had never seen such a shameless person, and what she said just now was so quickly broken and fat.
She said angrily, "You...... You made it clear that as long as you know your wife's whereabouts, you won't care about my business......"
Chen Ao shook his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Lan, you can't say that. How could I trade such a thing with you?"
He paused, his tone was a little cold, and said, "Besides, how did Xiao Ting's people get into Hulu County? My people came back and said that in the middle of last night, after Xiao Ting's people had an accident, you took a few people to the inn. Can you say that you have nothing to do with Xiao Ting?"
Lan Yuyan was stunned, not knowing how to answer. Chen Ao knew far more than she had imagined, and Lan Yuyan felt a little at a loss in the face of Chen Ao for a while.
Chen Ao waved his hand, returned to the chair and sat down, and said lightly: "Miss Lan, I advise you not to be insatiable." Otherwise, I'll arrest you too!"
Lan Yuyan was angry and anxious, and her eyes were actually red. She slammed the dishes on the table to the ground and smashed them to the ground, causing Chen Ao to jump up from his chair in fright. She pointed at Chen Ao and scolded: "You are despicable! Shameless! I have never seen such an untrustworthy man as you!"
She's a little angry, but she's also cute. After all, she was only a girl under twenty years old. In the past, she has been holding a shelf, but now in a hurry, she shows her true colors as a woman.
Chen Ao was taken aback, but he didn't expect that this Lan Yuyan, who usually looked a little sinister and was also the leader of a horse bandit who killed people without blinking, would actually behave like this.
And Zhao Ling and others, who were closely following the development of things next door at this moment, were also taken aback. Listening to Lan Yuyan's tone, it seemed that Chen Ao was really doing something bad to her. Several women hurriedly rushed out and rushed to the study together.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chen Ao standing aside at a loss, looking honest and not moving. And Lan Yuyan stood on the other side, her eyes were red, as if she had been greatly wronged.
