Chapter 210 Concealment(1/2)
The coroner was taking a look at the autopsy. In the lobby of the yamen, He Sui hurried over after hearing the news. As soon as he saw He Yan, he rushed over and grabbed He Yan and looked up and down: "Yan Yan, are you okay? Are you injured? Why are your clothes torn? Did they hurt you?"
He Yunsheng stood aside and said coldly: "The people who hurt her are dead. Dad, why are you worried about it?"
He Sui saw He Yunsheng standing aside with indifferent appearance, slapped him on the back and scolded: "What are you doing if you have nothing to do if you ask your sister to take you home? I wonder if your sister is a girl's house? What if she has a few shortcomings? That's how you protect your sister?"
The official agent on the side: "..."
He Yan said: "Dad, I'm fine. Those people came not for Yunsheng, but for me. Besides, I can protect myself. Yunsheng should pay attention to school these days, so it's better for me to pick me up and drop off."
He Yunsheng snorted: "You take care of yourself."
After all, he was a little angry with He Sui's partial behavior, although he didn't really care about it.
At this time, someone came in outside, but it was Xiao Jue. He thought he had rushed back directly from outside, looking dusty. As soon as he came in, he brought the chill outside the early winter.
Xiao Jue walked in and asked He Yan: "What's going on?"
He Yan shrugged, "I was born in school and met assassins on the way home. However, these assassins were like dead soldiers. I didn't kill them, but all of them committed suicide by taking poison. The coroner is now undergoing an autopsy, and I don't know what the situation is."
"Dead Soldier?" Xiao Jue frowned slightly. The first thing he thought of was what Xu Jingfu's people did. But Xu Jingfu's people would not be as stupid as they are now. He Yan is really going to die and this marriage is invalid. Xiao Jue can also find another noble girl with a good background. In this way, their plan will be lost. Even for their own interests, Xu Jingfu would not kill He Yan at this moment. The same is true for the people of Xu Jingfu's faction.
That is He Yan’s enemy?
The official wiped out the sweat from his forehead. It was difficult to deal with one Wu'an Marquis. Now General Feng Yun came here to inquire about this matter in person. If he didn't check it clearly, he would probably lose his job.
"Are you injured?" Xiao Jue asked again.
He Yan opened his arms, turned around, and signaled to him that he was intact. "Don't worry, I am the number one guard in Liangzhou at least. This is not enough for me to fight."
Seeing her lively look, Xiao Jue felt a little relieved. When Fei Nu heard the news, he and Lin Shuanghe went to meet the two brothers who were dying that day. After receiving the news, he rushed over immediately. Shuojing is not as good as Liangzhou Guards. If Liangzhou Guards can kill a person, the harsh climate, the arduous environment, and the cruel and domineering ukulele, there are countless ways to present the plot to kill a person in Shuojing. He did not want He Yan to be involved in irrelevant right and wrong because of his relationship.
However, this assassination was particularly strange. Emperor Wenxuan started the battle shortly after he gave the marriage, which seemed to be impatient. This was not Xu Jingfu's style of conduct at all.
The coroner walked over while wiping his hands. He first saluted He Yan and Xiao Jue, and then said: "There are seven dead people, with wax pills hidden in their mouths. The wax pills were sealed with strong poison, and they died immediately after entering their mouths. There were no fatal wounds outside the body, but they committed suicide by taking poison."
By committing suicide by taking poison, it proves that their death has nothing to do with He Yan, and it is not He Yan's killing. It also proves that these people are indeed dead soldiers who are prepared.
"Who is the other party?" He Yunsheng couldn't help asking: "Why do you want my sister's life?"
Another official came forward and said, "The young ones searched all the bodies of these assassins and found a silver note from one of the assassins." He presented the silver note in his hand to Xiao Jue, "It is the ticket number of Jinyu Money House."
This silver note is clean, almost brand new, and well preserved.
"The young men plan to use this silver note to go to the Jinyu Money House."
Just check the account books of the money shop over the past few days and check them one by one, and you will probably know who exchanged the silver note, causing the silver note to appear on the assassin.
However... He Yan frowned gently. This was too smooth. Since these dead men could seal all the wax balls well, they would not keep their life and death in their hearts. How could they store a silver note in their arms? It seemed like... it was specially shown to them.
He Sui bowed and said, "Please trouble you all."
The officials said they didn't dare to neglect General Feng Yun's father-in-law and Wu'an Hou's biological father. Now they dare not neglect them.
He Yan looked up and saw that Xiao Jue was still frowning, as if he was in a bad mood, so he pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Governor, I think we should go back and wait for news first. Leave the case to the government, and you and I should pay attention to these days."
Since you can attack her, it may not mean that Xiao Jue's side is also full of dangers at this moment.
Xiao Jue looked down at her, thought for a while, and said, "Since it was for you, you will stay at home these few days and don't go out."
"How can that be done?" He Yan flatly refused, "Yun Sheng is going to school, I'm not at ease with him alone, and my father, I'm afraid that those assassins will point their fingers at them. They are not as good as me, and when they meet those assassins, they can't protect themselves."
"Don't worry," Xiao Jue said: "I will send someone to follow them secretly to protect them." After pausing, he continued to speak, "So too, I'll let Chiwu follow you."
He Yan shook his head quickly: "No need, I can't help Chiwu even if I can fight. I can't help me alone. Besides, in broad daylight, those people dare not be too presumptuous. I didn't succeed this time, and I think I won't act rashly for the time being."
She would go to the Xu family to find out the news and find the whereabouts of Madam Qin. It was really inconvenient to follow a red fog. It was tantamount to installing a spy around her or turning her head to tell Xiao Jue. If Xiao Jue knew about her strange behavior in private, He Yan would not even know where to explain.
But this time Xiao Jue was extremely determined, "No, you can't be alone. If you refuse to let him follow you, you will live in the Xiao family."
He Yan: "...Didn't you say you should think about my reputation?"
Xiao Jue said coldly: "I am more worried about your safety than Qingyu."
He Yunsheng: "..." For some reason, he always felt that it seemed very unnecessary for him and He Sui to appear here.
He Yan thought for a moment, chose the two sides, and finally said, "Okay, then you can let Chiwu follow me." If she was at the Xiao family, I was afraid she wouldn't even be able to go out. In the He family, although there was Chiwu, at least she could just go out sneakily and throw away Chiwu. Although it would take some trouble, she was not completely helpless.
Xiao Jue gave up only then.
Because it was not too early and the incident happened suddenly today. After making an agreement with the government office, Xiao Jue sent them back to He's house, leaving Chiwu and a few guards, and then left.
After Xiao Jue left, He Yan washed up and returned to his room. Qingmei cooked porridge, but no one was intent on eating today and he stopped early. There were Chiwu and a few guards in the mansion to watch the night. He Yan didn't have to worry about it. He just fell down and looked at the tent, looking at the tent, thinking in his heart.
In fact, when the assassins committed suicide by swallowing medicine and knew that they were dead soldiers, a person of suspicion had emerged in He Yan's heart. I am afraid that the person behind the scenes would be either He Rufei or Xu Zhiheng. Her appearance at the celebration banquet would have scared Xu Zhiheng and made He Rufei suspicious. Perhaps it was to test her background, or perhaps it was to just stop doing it, so he killed him. Apart from these two people, He Yan could not think of any other enemy.
But she didn't expect that these two people would dare to act so boldly and dare to take action in broad daylight. She was sure that she didn't know the whole story, so she was so bold?
But He Rufei and Xu Zhiheng didn't know that she was He Yan and knew all the truth. This move made him understand their background. He was afraid that He Rufei and others would not be as calm as they appeared. Perhaps, they had not wiped their tails clean at all, so they could not wait to kill and silence them.
He Yan turned over and slowly closed his eyes.
He Rufei is cruel and Xu Zhiheng is cowardly. The two of them may not get along very harmoniously. They have their own selfish desires and also have the other's handle. If they can remove each other without any silence, it may be a good thing for them to seek. The relationship that is bound by interests is originally fragile and unreliable.
There is actually no difference between being a snipe or a clam. The important thing is that the fisherman can take advantage of the two fighting each other.
...
I don’t know if it was because of her Wu'an Hou or Xiao Jue’s relationship, the government office was very fast. In just two days, he notified He Yan to go to the yamen and said that the envoy behind the assassin had been found.
He Sui and He Yunsheng were not at the mansion, so He Yan went out by himself. Chi Wu followed her all the time. When he arrived at the mansion, he was hitting Xiao Jue and got out of the carriage and was walking in.
"Governor, why are you here?" He Yanqi said, "Do they know you too?"
Xiao Jue nodded.
He Yan couldn't say anything else, and he thought to himself that the people in the government office were really bad-legged. She was obviously the victim, but she even passed her and told Xiao Jue.
After walking in, Lord Liu, who was in charge of the case, came forward and asked them to sit down in the hall and asked their men to pour tea.
"Mr. Liu," He Yan went straight to the point, "but did he find the envoy behind the scenes?"
"The servants went to the Jinyu Money House, checked their account books, and found that the silver notes were exchanged by the Fan family five days ago." Mr. Liu looked at He Yan, hesitated for a moment, as if he was very entangled, and finally had to ask a sentence, "Do Miss He remember the Fan family in the capital?"
After saying this, he glanced at He Yan quickly. If it were not forbidden to do so, he really didn't want to take on this case. No matter how you look at this case, it would be a tricky job. If you accidentally fail to satisfy these two people, your career might end. Especially now that he found out that the commander behind the scenes was found, he felt even more trouble.
The previous relationship between the Fan family and He Yan was unclear and unclear. I asked this in front of Xiao Jue. What if Xiao Jue felt uncomfortable and exhaled his anger on his head?
"Fan Family?" He Yan was open and honest, without any slight slightest, "Fan Cheng?"
Lord Liu sighed in his heart and said that he was indeed a heroine. No wonder he could subdue the cold-blooded and ruthless Jade-faced Governor, and asked directly. He smiled and said, "That's it."
"You mean, those assassins are the commanders behind the Fan family?" He Yan asked, "Why do they do this?"
"Uh..." Master Liu said: "After finding out that the silver bill was found from the Fan family, we went to the Fan family. We found poison exactly the same as those assassins in the wax pills in Mrs. Fan's personal maid told the truth, saying it was... About a year and a half ago, Mrs. Fan's only son Fan Cheng was killed on the boat in Chunlaijiang. The assassin disappeared. At that time, Miss He was also on the boat and was not sure where he went. Everyone thought that Miss He was killed by the murderer. Now Miss He returned to Beijing safely. Mrs. Fan believed that Miss He was the murderer, and Miss He was the one who killed Fan Cheng, and held a grudge. So he secretly hired the killer to try to take Miss He's life."
"How do you say the murderer?" Xiao Jue was the one who asked.
"Mrs. Fan refused to admit that she was hiring a murderer. She is now locked in prison and is still being tried. However, according to the officials, there should be no other possibility for the person who has evidence and evidence."
"Where is that maid now?"
Lord Liu sighed, "After Mrs. Fan's maid told this fact, Mrs. Fan started arguing with her. Before our people could pull them away, the girl stabbed her to find a brief thought. I wonder if she was afraid of revenge from the Fan family, or simply committed suicide because of the crime."
"In other words, no one can prove that Mrs. Fan is innocent now?" He Yan asked.
Lord Liu looked at He Yan, "Miss He, the official also knows that you are kind-hearted and do not want to wrongly accuse others. However, this matter is an obvious fact. In fact, in order to avoid arresting the wrong person, the officials of the government office have also investigated many things. For example, when you went to join the army, the Fan family has been making things difficult for your father and brother. The reason why your father lost his position as a captain was because the Fan family had tampered with it. The Fan family had long blamed you for Fan Cheng. Now that you are back safely, the Fan family dare not take revenge on the surface, so they secretly took action. You have no enemies in Shuojing City, and there is no reason to seek revenge from you except the Fan family."
He deliberately skipped the possibility that He Yan was implicated because of Xiao Jue. After all, he was a small person and did not dare to participate in the battle between Xiao Jue and Xu Xiang.
He Yan looked at Xiao Jue, and Xiao Jue said, "I want to see someone."
Lord Liu was stunned, "Governor Xiao..."
"Fan Cheng's mother."
Lord Liu could still satisfy this request. When He Yan and Xiao Jue arrived in prison, they saw that Mrs. Fan was sitting in the bottom of the prison with her knees curled up. Once someone approached, she couldn't help but tremble, and she didn't know what she was talking about.
He Yan frowned as soon as he saw it and asked, "You are torture?"
"No, no!" Lord Liu was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, "We had not had time to interrogate, but we caught the person yesterday afternoon. But it was strange that when we came in yesterday, she was still fine, with a very arrogant tone, and she refused to admit that she was related to the assassins. When the jailer came to check this morning, something was wrong with her, but, " Lord Liu disagreed, "We have seen such things here too much. Knowing that there is evidence, we can't escape, so we started to pretend to be crazy and stupid, thinking that we could escape the disaster."
He Yan squatted down and called her: "Madam Fan, Madam Fan?"
When the woman in the prison heard this, she glanced at her sternly. Her hair was very messy, covering her face. She could only vaguely see one eye, full of panic.
He Yan had met Fan Cheng, but this was the first time he saw Mrs. Fan. She also knew from Qingmei that Mrs. Fan was not a good-tempered person. Since she decided to marry Tang Ying and Fan Cheng, she ordered Fan Cheng to cut off contact with Miss He. Miss He came to the door and asked the servants of the Fan family to stand at the door regardless of the people's scolding. He Yan was ashamed of himself and turned around and fell seriously ill.
However, when he saw this woman, He Yan felt that there was still doubt in this matter. Even if a masturbating mother who spoiled her son really had to settle the score with her, with Mrs. Fan's former temperament, she would never secretly start from the dark. And how could she, a woman, come into contact with those dead soldiers? Even if she really hired a killer, why would she be so stupid that she put the poison in her room without destroying it quickly? Why did her personal maid betray the owner? Since she was afraid of being implicated, she simply said nothing, and even had the courage to die. How could she commit suicide fearlessly? Now that there is no evidence of death, Mrs. Fan is crazy again... He Yan glanced at the woman in prison. Is she really pretending to be crazy?
Lord Liu looked at He Yan's actions and felt a cold sweat in his heart. Wu'an Hou was really not shy about it. In front of his fiancé, he dared to care so much about his previous lover's mother. Even if the other party wanted her life, he would be generous and careless. However... From Fan Cheng to Xiao Jue, the eldest lady of the He family had indeed made rapid progress.
He Yan stood up and said, "Let's go out and talk."
Several people walked out of the prison gate.
"Miss He, Governor Xiao, this case..."
"She is not the murderer." Before Lord Liu could finish speaking, Xiao Jue interrupted him.
Lord Liu was stunned for a moment, "But...the evidence is complete."
"The so-called evidence is the evidence that the murderer lets you see. If the case is tried like this, it may hit the murderer's mind." Xiao Jue said.
Lord Liu was extremely distressed, so he wanted to be an official peacefully and quickly settle the case. It was finally easy for people and evidence to be both physical and physical, so the case could be closed as soon as possible, but Xiao Jue denied it in one sentence, and this was endless.
To be continued...
