The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

"Everyone in the Jiang family was taken away for investigation, but one person was not there." Zhou Xiaoyuan said, "I always feel that something is wrong."

"I'll ask Mr. Jiang." Xia Yechen said.

He came to Mr. Jiang and asked him who that person was.

But Mr. Jiang laughed and said: "Mr. Xia, you have arrested the wrong person. You can't find that person. He is hidden very deep."

"What do you mean?" Xia Yechen asked, "You mean that person's crime is worse than yours?"

Mr. Jiang nodded: "Yes, that person is the real messenger behind the scenes. I am just a pawn in his hands to realize his plan."

"What's the plan?" Xia Yechen asked.

Mr. Jiang shook his head: "I don't know the specific plan, but that person has been secretly manipulating me to make me commit crimes and then benefit from it. I am just a pawn of his."

Xia Yechen felt heavy in his heart after hearing this. He realized that the messenger behind the scenes was more cunning and dangerous than imagined.

Zhou Xiaoyuan quickly set her sights on Mr. Jiang's confidants. She thought this man might know the truth about the matter.

Xia Yechen ordered his men to find this person, but they found that he seemed to be missing, and there was no news about him at all.

"It's strange, why did this person suddenly disappear?" Zhou Xiaoyuan asked doubtfully.

"Judging from Mr. Jiang's confession, things are obviously not that simple." Zhou Xiaoyuan sighed and said, "Let's start with the accounts."

They began to study the Jiang family's accounts carefully and discovered that these crimes were all committed by this henchman.

Single-handedly planned.

He used the Jiang family's wealth and resources to secretly control the Jiang family's business activities and political affairs.

His confidant had fled to an unknown place, and no one sent by Xia Yechen had any news, so he had no choice but to give up.

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt uneasy and believed that there must be a huge shocking conspiracy hidden here in Nanyang. She was unwilling to give up and decided to go out alone to investigate the remaining clues.

"Are you sure you want to go alone? You'd better go with me." Xia Yechen said worriedly.

"It's okay, I will be careful." Zhou Xiaoyuan said firmly, "I will definitely be careful."

Zhou Xiaoyuan went out alone and began to look for clues around the city. She suddenly remembered that she smelled an inexplicable sandalwood scent on the man in black that day. This smell was obviously only found on the bodies of people in the temple.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was shocked. She quickly came to the local temple, but did not notice anything unusual. She told the abbot that she was here to look for clues. Although the abbot was a little confused, he still took her there.

Zhou Xiaoyuan asked the abbot to see the monks here. The abbot hesitated, but agreed.

Zhou Xiaoyuan compared the portraits provided by the servants of the Jiang family one by one, but she never noticed anything wrong.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly grabbed one of the monks and asked his name. The abbot told Zhou Xiaoyuan that this person's name was Juechen.

Zhou Xiaoyuan sneered and looked up at Juechen: "The scars on your head are all brand new. Do you think I will believe that you are a monk?"

Juechen's expression changed, and he looked down at Zhou Xiaoyuan: "Who are you? How do you know about me?"

Zhou Xiao

Yuan said unceremoniously: "I am Zhou Xiaoyuan from the Jiang family. You eavesdropped on my conversation with Xia Yechen in the temple that day, and now you want to run away. Do you think I will let you go?"

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Juechen sneered: "Since you already know my identity, don't blame me for being rude."

He quickly fled deep into the forest, and Zhou Xiaoyuan immediately chased after him. But Juechen's speed was much faster than she imagined. After chasing for a while, she found that she had lost track of him.

"Who is this guy? Why does he appear here?" Zhou Xiaoyuan was puzzled.

At this time, Xia Yechen also learned the news. He was worried about Zhou Xiaoyuan's safety and ran over immediately. He saw Zhou Xiaoyuan standing alone in the woods, looking a little helpless.

"Xiaoyuan, are you okay?" Xia Yechen ran over immediately, "Where is that guy?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan shook her head: "He ran away. I chased him for a while but lost him."

Xia Yechen's heart tightened: "Who is this guy? Why does he appear here?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan told Xia Yechen what had just happened. Xia Yechen frowned after hearing this: "This guy is actually a confidant of the Jiang family. It seems that the Jiang family's affairs are not simple."

At this time, they suddenly heard a sneer. They looked up and found that Juechen had appeared in the tree.

He sneered and said: "You think you won? You don't know anything."

Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Yechen looked at each other and immediately understood what Juechen meant. Zhou Xiaoyuan said loudly: "You want to threaten us with what happened just now? Do you think we will be afraid of you?"

Juechen sneered: "You

Aren't we afraid? Then why are you following me? Do you think you can find the truth about the Jiang family? Stop dreaming. "

His words made Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Yechen feel nervous. They knew that this guy was telling the truth. But now they have no way out, they must move on.

"We will not be intimidated by you." Xia Yechen said calmly, "If you don't want to die, come down quickly."

Juechen sneered: "Do you think I will listen to you? Stop joking."

He suddenly jumped under the tree, and Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Yechen were immediately on guard. But Juechen did not attack them, but fled deeper into the forest.

"We can't let him run away." Xia Yechen said, "We have to catch up quickly."

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded, and she and Xia Yechen quickly caught up. After chasing him in the woods for a while, they finally found Juechen's traces.

But Juechen didn't want to fight with them. He just kept running away deeper into the forest.

"What exactly does he want to do?" Zhou Xiaoyuan asked doubtfully.

Xia Yechen shook his head: "I don't know, but we must remain vigilant."

After they continued chasing for a while, they finally discovered Juechen's hiding place. It was a hidden hut, and Juechen had already entered the house.

"We can't let him escape," Xia Yechen said, "We have to get in quickly."

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded, and she and Xia Yechen quickly rushed into the hut.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Juechen rushing towards them with a sharp blade. Xia Yechen immediately greeted him, and the two began to fight fiercely. Zhou Xiaoyuan was looking for opportunities to take action.

The fight between the two was very intense

Lie, Xia Yechen's martial arts is very strong, but Juechen is not weak either.

The two of them fought back and forth. Zhou Xiaoyuan has been looking for opportunities to take action, but Juechen is very cunning and never gives her a chance.
