As soon as they entered Ningkou Village, several people abandoned their horses and galloped over. When they got to the front and back of the carriage, they quickly knelt down on the ground, "I have seen the prince!"

Xie Xuanwai sat on the bed of the carriage, holding a wine glass in one hand and a book in the other, without even raising his head.

The atmosphere was silent and stagnant.

In silence, Xie Xuan didn't move, so Du Jian'an and others naturally didn't dare to move.

When Xu Shi, who came back with them, saw Qiu Shi, his eyes darkened and he collapsed to the ground.

On the way back to Ningkou Village with Du Jian'an and the others, he ran into Xu Jiang and Chong Lou.But Lingyou and Lingquan, who went to the official mine to deliver the body of the secret guard in the morning, and a group of Zhechong soldiers and government servants watched, and the two did not speak.He thought that Xie Xuan asked Xu Jiang to come to the official mine to find him because Xie Xuan couldn't find him in Ningkou Village, but he never thought that Xu Jiang came to him because of the Qiu family.

Qiu Shi is his mother, no one knows her temperament better than Xu Shi.

Originally thought that as long as he explained clearly that he failed to marry Cheng in the early years, he would always hold a grudge. After the second sister married and went to the official mine, the family gained some power, so she couldn't wait to lie in ambush in Dongshan, and forcibly married Cheng who returned to her natal family. , and then threatened her with these things, and asked her to go back to her mother's house every now and then to do good deeds, so that he could be cleared of the crime of murder. Who knew, who knew...

Looking at the expressions of the kneeling people in the village either gloating or watching indifferently, Xu Shi's little hope disappeared.

Although he didn't sleep all night and spent another morning, Lingyou seemed to be in good spirits. After pulling the reins in front of the carriage, before anyone asked, he immediately nodded Xu Shi with his chin and said: "After delivering the dark Not far from the official mine, Wei happened to see him rushing in the direction of the official mine. He didn't worry about it at first, but when he saw us, he immediately hit the horse and wanted to escape. He thought it was some important person, but who knew that he would catch us? After a question, we explained everything honestly. Then, we took him back to the official mine, and drove Mr. Du and the others back. On the way, we encountered Chonglou again, and we came back together .”

Chen Chaoyan followed his words and looked at Xu Shi who was kneeling behind Tian Changlin.

Xu Shixu sensed her gaze, and after his body trembled, his head lowered even lower.

Seeing this, Chen Chaoyan glanced at Du Jian'an and the others again, then looked away, sipping tea, and reading idle books.

After two cups of tea.

Zheng Liang is also here.

Seeing the villagers of Ningkouzhuang and Du Jian'an kneeling on the ground, although he didn't understand why, he still knelt down and shouted: "I have seen the prince."

He came from Shangmen Village.

As soon as he handed over the land deed of more than 100 mu to Qian, he was brought here by Zhechong soldiers before he heard a few compliments.

Everyone is here.

Xie Xuan put down the wine glass in his hand, looked up from the book, glanced at several people one by one, and said word by word: "I heard people say that a strong dragon does not suppress a snake, and when this king comes here, a dragon has to be coiled." , if it’s a tiger, you have to lie down?”

Zheng Liang thought he was talking about him, and after a sudden thump in his heart, he immediately called out, "Your Highness is wronged, even if the officials have had the guts of a bear, they would never dare to say such a thing!"

Xie Xuan didn't say anything, but just set his eyes on Du Jian'an, Meng Xun and Tian Changlin.

The thin Tian Changlin touched his head to the ground, silent.

Du Jian'an and Meng Xun trembled, and said one after another: "My lord is wronged, even if you have the guts to be an official, you will never dare to say such a thing!"

"You mean that this king is wronging you by telling lies?" Xie Xuan said in a low voice, looking at Qiu Shi slowly.

When Qiu saw Du Jian'an and Meng Xun arrived, she was about to greet Du Jian'an and Meng Xun arrogantly, and reprimanded everyone in a tone of voice, but when she saw that they didn't even look at her, she knelt on the ground in fear. Xie Xuan didn't say anything, After they didn't dare to move at all, she panicked and subconsciously knelt down to the ground.

But at this moment, she is still holding on to a ten thousandth hope. They are delaying time, because she has been to the official mine twice and knows that the official mine is very big.It will definitely take a lot of time to gather no less than 5 people.It's just that her self-deceiving thoughts collapsed the moment Xie Xuan looked over.

Because after Xie Xuan looked at her, he said again: "See you in the moon, bring the mother-in-law of Lord Du, Lord Meng and Lord Tian."

Obviously his voice was not loud, but Qiu felt a knife fell on him.

Looking at Yue Jian who was approaching her step by step, Qiu couldn't help but stand up quickly, turned around and ran.

How could Yuejian let her escape?With a flash, he stood in front of her.

After Qiu yelled like a ghost, "Ouch, my mother", she instinctively pushed towards her.The moment she reached out her hand, Yue Jian grabbed her wrist, turned around, and amidst her howling, lifted her directly in front of Du Jian'an and the others.

After being thrown down, Mrs. Qiu yelled "Ouch, my mother!", and when she sat up with her hands up, she saw Du Jian'an and Meng Xun beside her, and immediately crawled towards them, yelling as she crawled. : "My dear old son, my dear second son, what are you still doing, they are bullying your old lady like this, why don't you hurry up and call someone to tie them up."

Meng Xun's face darkened and said, "What are you bastard calling, who is your good eldest son, your best second son!"

Knowing that Xie Xuan was watching them, Du Jian'an quickly put aside the relationship and said: "Your Majesty, I noticed that the old lady was Tian Changlin's mother-in-law, so I just called her mother-in-law. Occasionally, I went out on business and passed by Ningkou Village. Use the excuse to come over and drink a couple of teas to support her face in the manor, other than that, Xiaguan doesn't have much contact with her!"

As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Shi with a hint of warning.

"Du Jian'an, you are still shameless!" As soon as he heard that he wanted to get rid of the relationship and take the blame on himself, Qiu quit, slapping his thigh and scolding, "When you and my family get along well, is it What do you say? You said that the affairs of my Xu family will be your affairs in the future! And Emperor Tiangao..."

"Bitch, shut up!" Meng Xun rushed over, slapped her hard, grabbed her by the hair, and was about to hit the ground.

Yue Jian was about to step forward to stop her, when Qiu Shi also grabbed Meng Xun's hair with his backhand at the moment he hit the ground, "Dog thing, we have a good relationship with each other. Mother-in-law. Now that something has happened, I want to push my mother out to take the blame, but there is no way!"

Seeing the two wrestling into a ball, Yuejian asked Chen Chaoyan if he should stop him or not.Chen Chaoyan was very interested in what Qiu said about Du Jian'an, Meng Xun and her daughter Yueyue Xiang. After receiving her wink, she turned her head slightly to look at Xie Xuan. Seeing that he seemed to be very interested, she turned towards Xie Xuan. Moonlight shook her head slightly.

Yue Jian stepped aside.

The scuffle between Meng Xun and Qiu Shi was accompanied by a series of scolding.

The scolding is naturally unbearable.

Although Xie Xuan was interested, after glancing at Chen Chaoyan and then at the villagers of Ningkou Village who were getting louder and louder in their discussions, he said, "What time is it?"

The servant said in a low voice, "It's a quarter past noon."

"It's a quarter past noon." Xie Xuan clasped his hands, tapped the window lattice twice, and said again, "Master Zheng."

Zheng Liang quickly replied tremblingly: "The next official is here."

"Escort several adults and everyone in Ningkou Village back to the county government, and interrogate after the king has eaten!" Xie Xuan ordered almost indifferently, "In addition, send someone to the official mine to generalize Ningkou Village. Bring the two married women back to the county government!"

After Zheng Liang took the order, Xie Xuan immediately looked at Chen Chaoyan.

Chen Chaoyan looked at the messy Ningkou Village villagers, although she couldn't bear it in her heart, she still turned her head and joked to him: "Is the prince looking at me like this, waiting for me to stop it?"

Xie Xuan glanced at Du Jian'an and others who had been taken away from the corner of his eye, and said with a slight curl of his mouth: "Will the princess stop it?"

Chen Chaoyan once again looked at the villagers of Ningkouzhuang who were crying or making trouble when they heard that they were going to be taken to the county government. After a moment of silence, he said, "Theoretically, I should stop it. It's just..."

After her eyes fell on Qiu Shi and Du Jian'an, she looked at the light screen again, looking at the topographic map of Ningkou Village surrounded by mountains in the light screen, and she continued: "It's just that since they are involved in the official mine, You really should check it out.”

The serial murder case, Ningkouzhuang, the official mine... things that were originally unrelated, but somehow got connected together, which is abnormal no matter how you look at it.

Although it was a bit laborious, Chen Chaoyan still decided that human life comes first.

Xie Xuan left all Zhechong soldiers to Zheng Liang.

Afterwards, he took Chen Chaoyan to Sangchen Village under the guard of the forbidden army.

Zhou Boshan had already been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time. When he saw the carriage approaching, he immediately led his son out of the village. After seeing the ceremony, he led the carriage again and returned home under the watchful eyes of the villagers from far and near.

The mutton soup and mutton chops were already cooked, and they were placed on the table one by one under Zhou Boshan's call.

With Zhou Boshan's intentional compliment and Chen Chaoyan's agreement, this meal of mutton was regarded as a feast for the guests and host.

When leaving Sangchen Village, Chen Chaoyan saw that there were already people from other villages hiding in the distance to watch.

The effect of 'advertising' Zhou Boshan's sheep has been achieved.

Next, it's time for a trial.

The people of Ningkouzhuang have already filled up the lobby inside and outside.

After the carriage bypassed the gate and entered through the back gate of the county government office, Chen Chaoyan rested for a while, then followed Xie Xuan to the second hall.

"Bring Xu Shi and Zhang Laosan first." Chen Chaoyan ordered.

Zheng Liang should be, and then went to the household to bring Xu Shi and Zhang Laosan over.
