Fast travel: The host is too crazy to shoot, the system can't stop it

Chapter 77 Ancient (V) Tracing

Yanjin's hostility was only for a moment, and Yan Nanxu even felt that he had misread it.

Was the collapse of the Xizhao Building really the work of Yanjin?

It is difficult for Yan Nanxu to make a decision on this matter at present, and what he saw last night alone is not enough to prove anything.

"Brother." As soon as Yan Nanxu returned to the house, Yan Yousi immediately ran out, held his brother's hand, and looked very pitifully with dark circles under his eyes.

Yan Nanxu couldn't help smiling, and said, "What's the matter, didn't you fall asleep at night?"

The maid who took care of Yan Yousi also ran after her. Seeing Yan Nanxu, she immediately saluted and explained: "His Royal Highness, the young master had trouble falling asleep last night. I wanted to look for you this morning, but I didn't see you. I was a little anxious." .”

The situation was urgent last night, the tall building collapsed in an instant, and the desperate situation was rescued. Yan Yousi was young, so he was probably frightened.

Yan Nanxu looked at the child who was holding her hand, sighed, and comforted: "Okay, go to sleep, I will accompany you by the side."

For Yan Yousi, the elder brother's side is the most reassuring. He hasn't received any love from his parents since he was a child, so it's no wonder that he likes to stick to his elder brother the most.

After repeatedly confirming that Yan Nanxu was in his room and would not leave, Yan Yousi lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

Yan Nanxu sat not far away with a book in hand.

"Brother?" Yan Yousi was still worried, and called out again before he fell asleep.

"I'm here."

Yan Nanxu walked to the bed, straightened the quilt, and patted his younger brother comfortingly.

Yan Yousi suddenly reached out and grabbed one of his hands, and would not let go. Yan Nanxu had no choice but to sit by the bed.

"I'm sorry, brother..." Yan Yousi probably felt that he was in too much trouble, rationality made him behave better, but the child's dependence made him not want to let go.

"It's okay, go to sleep." Yan Nanxu touched his younger brother's forehead. It seemed that he had a low-grade fever. Children could easily get sick when they were frightened. He frowned, thinking that someone should prepare some medicine.

Yan Yousi couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he muttered something in a low voice, "If I had known it, I wouldn't have guessed that lantern riddle, the wind was blowing and coming again, the geese were slanting in front of the peak, it just happened to be the word 'Lan' I just learned, just me I figured it out..."

Yan Nanxu was just listening quietly, but suddenly he was stunned and confirmed: "The answer to the mystery is 'Lan'?"

"That's right, 'geese slanting in front of the peak' is a 'mountain', 'mountain' plus 'wind' is 'Lan', those people are so stupid, they can't figure it out..." Yan Yousi said it was true I was sleepy, breathing slowly and evenly, and gradually fell asleep.

Seeing that his younger brother was asleep, Yan Nanxu slowly pulled his hand back, left the room, and ordered his servants to pay attention to the young master, and then found the servant who went to the street with Yan Yousi to guess lantern riddles that day, and set off in person after asking the location go.

"Host, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking for the riddle maker?"

"Going back and forth in the wind, the geese walk obliquely in front of the peak. Lantern riddles should be two characters, remove the inside of 'wind' and add 'again' to form 'phoenix', and 'before the peak' is a mountain, and 'flying geese' is a shape. The word '人', the word '人' becomes a single person, and the word 'geese walking obliquely before the peak' becomes the character 'Xian', so the answer to the riddle should be 'Feng Xian', how could it be just a word 'Lan'?"

"So, there is something wrong with that lantern riddle, host, do you suspect that someone is going to trick Yan Yousi?"

Some people want to go to Yanyousi. This lantern riddle does not recognize the answer, but the person.

There are many shops that put lantern riddles on the Shangyuan Festival, but the most grand one is a cloth shop in the west of the city. There are rumors that the cloth shop still owes a lot of money, and people went to the shop to make trouble from time to time.

Somehow, Shangyuan Ye and their family also had a lot of fun and arranged a lot of lantern riddles, and the first prize was the hard-to-find Xizhao Upstairs.

But what was surprising was that when they arrived at the place, the doors and windows of the whole shop were closed, and no one was there.

I asked the neighbors around, they said that they saw the family leave yesterday evening, maybe they couldn't manage the business and had to go elsewhere to make a living.

"Host, are they running away?"

"I don't know."

Yan Nanxu felt strange, turned around and found that the side door of the cloth house was not locked, hesitated for a moment, and pushed the door directly to enter.

Almost nothing inside was taken away, and all the fabrics were hung in place, as if the family had just left the house for a short time and would be back soon.

This really doesn't look like a long journey to move. Yan Nanxu was confused. When he walked into the back room, there were also neat things. There was even a bowl of noodle soup on the dining table, and the chopsticks were randomly thrown aside, which showed that the owner was in a hurry... …like, being asked to evacuate.

"Host, should we try to find this family?" The system also noticed something was wrong and suggested.

I left yesterday evening, and now I have already left the city, and it is somewhat difficult to find it in the vast crowd.

Yan Nanxu shook his head and rejected the system's proposal, and continued to walk to another room to see if there was any other information.

The side room was probably a small storeroom, and the tables inside were a bit messy, and it could be seen that someone had rummaged through it in a hurry before leaving and took something away.

"Host, what is missing?"

"It should be the account book," Yan Nanxu looked at the table, "There are usually account records in the storeroom of the merchant."

"They ran away with the ledger?"

"This situation is more like... someone asked them to bring the account book to meet." If they really want to leave and never come back, it will be a little soft.

Yan Nanxu approached and turned over the table, opened the drawer of the table, and found another small notebook inside, which densely recorded the recent account information.

"Huh? Host, here is the ledger, they didn't take the ledger."

"No, this is not a ledger, this is a side book."

To put it bluntly, the secondary book is a secondary account book. It is not as detailed as the main account book. It will only record relatively large expenditures and income, which is used just in case.

Not all stores have this kind of side book, and the main account book is left here without the side book, which further verifies Yan Nanxu's conjecture.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Yan Nanxu decided to leave first with the copy.

As the sky was getting dark, Yan Nanxu looked around after leaving the side door, but found nothing unusual, half-closed the door, and walked away quickly.

However, Yan Nanxu failed to find a figure standing there for a long time at the corner of the alley not far away. After Yan Nanxu walked away, the figure flashed into the cloth house and slowly closed the door.

Back home, Yan Nanxu carefully studied the contents of the supplementary book, and saw the contents about Yanjin as expected.

Yanjin has been frequenting this cloth shop since about a month ago, without concealing his identity, and the amount of cloth purchased each time is very large.

Later, there was no record of Yanjin, and gradually began to be the income from the cooperation with the wealthy businessman Xue Jiagui, each of which was very considerable. The last income was just the day before the Shangyuan Festival. The source of is blank, as if someone gave it directly.

Yan Nanxu put down the supplement thoughtfully, with an unclear look in his eyes.

"Host, this can actually be checked. Such a large amount must be a bank note, and it can be found out with a little effort in the bank."

Yan Nanxu tapped the table with her finger, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "There is no need to check."

"Why?" the system asked subconsciously.

"Leading my younger brother there, stealing beams and changing pillars to collapse the Xizhao Building, and almost causing Cao Yushi to be executed. Who do you think did this?"

The system paused, and immediately figured it out—now Yan Nanxu's conjectures all point to Yanjin.Maybe the bank can basically get evidence, but so what?Is it possible to show the evidence to the emperor and let him convict him of banqueting Jin?

Yan Nanxu can't really harm the protagonist.
