The fifth personality, the nightmare starts with a dual identity

Daxia Kaizhou Mansion, in front of Hongbin Restaurant.

A group of people were gathering together to watch the excitement. At the center was a fifteen-year-old girl, with a slightly fat maid, arguing with the store owner.

"What's the difference between wet firewood and dry firewood? Both can be burned, so why can't they be the same price?"

The reason was that it had rained lightly a few days ago, and the firewood delivered by the woodcutter was a little damp.

The store owner was careful and thought about giving him less money, but he happened to be bumped into by a girl.

The girl's name is Yan Siran, the daughter of Yan Mingzhe, one of the judges in Kaizhou Prefecture.

The Yan family is a well-known large family in Kaizhou Prefecture. Yan Mingzhe himself is the Secretary of the Kaizhou Prefecture and is in charge of the taxes and warehouses of Kaifeng Prefecture.

His wife Liu Yueshan is a wealthy family in a nearby state capital, and her family is well off.

The marriage between the two was considered a perfect match. When the child was born, there was a big banquet inside and outside the Yan family, and the flowing banquet lasted for half a month.

The girl also has an older brother named Yan Sian, twins of a dragon and a phoenix, who make others envious.

At this time, Yan Sian also received the news and rushed there in a hurry.

Looking at my sister who was surrounded in the center, I felt a little headache for a moment.

Yan Siran has been naughty since he was a child. Relying on his father's power, he provoked almost every family he could provoke in Kaizhou Prefecture.

From powerful and wealthy businessmen to rogue beggars, everyone knows about it.

However, he is kind-hearted and often donates the money he extorted to the poor, making him extremely popular among the people in the city.

So even if today is not very reasonable, the onlookers still point out the store and let the store make up the difference.

Yan Siran, who was shouting, was brought back to his original state by his brother's words. He shrank his neck, obviously a little afraid of his brother.

Yan Si'an walked up to the store, having already figured out the situation, and bowed respectfully to the store.

"Sorry, my sister is a little naughty."

"I'll take her back now, and I won't let her cause you any more trouble."

I have said this hundreds of times, but I have no choice but to say it now, what else can I do.

The store owner was a little flattered and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, Miss Si Ran said the same thing, it's all firewood, it's the same when it's dry, I'll pay for it."

"It's just that my sister is hanging around here, which is really hindering business. The boss wants the young master to take the young lady back. We will definitely visit you later to express our apology."

Whether it was out of fear of the Yan family's power, or because he really felt that he was wrong.

The store owner has admitted his mistake, but Yan Siran does not.

"No, you said you'd be deducted if it got wet, so I'll do it for you."

"Take it to the kitchen, and when it's dried over the fire, I'll go back."

As he was about to rush in, his brother Yan Si'an held his head down.

He said helplessly, "Okay, okay, how much firewood will be wasted to dry this wet firewood? How can you do it like this?"

Yan Siran curled his lips. Although he thought what his brother said was reasonable, he just didn't want to let it go.

While still thinking about countermeasures, Yan Sian already waved his hands around, "Sorry for causing trouble to you all. Thank you for taking care of my sister. If you have something to do in the future, you can come to Yan Mansion to find me."

Although Yan Si'an is also fifteen years old, he is young and mature.

Moreover, the appearance of both men and women attracted great attention in Kaizhou Prefecture. Everyone said that it was a good thing that Yan Sian did not wear women's clothes, otherwise there would be no beauties in Kaizhou City.

However, Yan Si'an didn't take the teasing to heart. He visited famous teachers at a young age and was extremely intelligent.

He was once said to be a genius that only happens once in a century.

Although he has not yet participated in the imperial examination, he has made many friends, many of whom are young talents.

I know a lot of traffickers and footmen. When I interact with people, I always treat them as equals, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

Therefore, the common people in Kaizhou Prefecture doted on and liked Yan Siran, and respected and worshiped Yan Si'an.

Watching the two people go away, the crowd did not gather again.

The store paid the woodcutter the full price, no grudges arose, and no one took the matter to heart.

On the other side, on the way home.

Looking at his sister who was jumping around with dust on her face, Yan Si'an had a headache.

They discussed, "My father has been busy with business these days and has not been home. Can you please calm down a little bit?"

"As my mother gets older, she misses you the most. She won't give up until she has to do something."

Yan Siran curled his lips, what made his brother look righteous and awe-inspiring.

Tucao said, "If you really want me to calm down, become an official and bring peace to the world's injustices, which will save me the trouble."

Yan Si'an smiled bitterly. The officialdom was ups and downs. It took fifteen years for their father to climb to the position of magistrate.

The hardships involved are not comparable to those of outsiders.

Although it does not prohibit Yan Si'an from pursuing an official career, he always wants to wait until Yan Si'an grows up a little later.

He was afraid that the officialdom would corrupt his eldest son and ruin his future prospects.

The two of them walked home all the way, and passers-by would say hello from time to time.

Yan Siran responds mischievously, and Yan Siran is polite and graceful, making it hard to fault.

But when I walked to the street in front of my house, I saw a group of people approaching from the opposite side.

The leader is Hu Feiwei, the second son of Changshi Hu Zhengqing's family. He is older than Yan Siran, but he has never taken advantage of Yan Siran.

He has his family's thugs with him, and he usually avoids them when meeting him.

This time he stopped him directly, making Yan Sian couldn't help but frown.

When Yan Siran was in a bad mood, he opened his mouth and cursed, "A good dog doesn't block the way."

Hu Feiwei sneered, sarcastic in his heart, daring to provoke him at this time.

Just when he was about to say a few arrogant words, Yan Siran was already protected behind him by Yan Siran.

He said softly, "My sister is reckless, please don't take offense."

"But if you block my way for no reason, isn't it a bit too much?"

Although it was angry, it made people unable to feel angry.

Hu Feiwei, who was originally looking for trouble, forgot what he was doing.

He glanced at Yan Siran behind Yan Siran and sneered, "Girl, you can't be arrogant for a few more days."

"When things are finalized, I want to see if you will still be as arrogant as you are today."

What he said was a bit nonsensical, and Yan Siran couldn't help but frown.

Just when he was about to ask something, he saw Hu Feiwei and others leaving directly.

It was a bit inexplicable, which made Yan Siran very unhappy.

He wanted to stop the person and ask why, but Yan Si'an pulled him directly towards home.

On the way, I couldn't hold myself any longer and asked, "What's going on? You guys have been so busy talking about me these days. Are you hiding something from me?"

Yan Si'an, who was walking quickly, suddenly fell silent and frowned slightly, just like a picture of a beautiful woman.

But Yan Siran was used to seeing it, so he didn't think it was anything strange.

Yan Si'an sighed and said, "As the chief minister of a government, my father is involved in many things."

"I have caused some trouble in recent days, and I have been repeatedly persecuted by Mr. Fu Yin."

As he spoke, he said seriously, "Si Ran, you are a girl and you should be carefree. I don't expect you to take it to heart."

"But I hope you know that my father has really sacrificed a lot for our family."

"At critical times, you and I, brother and sister, still have to think more about your father."

Those words made Yan Siran even more irritated.

However, I also realized something was wrong at this time, so I just kept the matter in mind and thought about meeting my father later and asking for details. .

When the two returned home, they saw many more guards than before.

When I got closer, I realized that they were soldiers from Kaizhou Prefecture, and the leader was Luo Shu, the commander of Kaizhou Prefecture.

He has the same official position as Yan Mingzhe, but is responsible for the prison in Kaizhou City.

Even Yan Siran's carefree character finally noticed something was wrong.

Luo Shu personally took action, it was all a major case in Kaizhou Mansion, but today he appeared at the door of Yan Mansion.

Yan Si'an hesitated for a moment, then walked up directly.

Since Luo Shu appears here, it means that arrangements have been made everywhere in the city.

Even if he leaves with his sister, there is no way he can escape from this prison.

What's more, his father's condition is unknown and his mother is also at home, so it is impossible for Yan Sian to leave like this.

When he walked to the door, he saluted respectfully.

Called, "Father Robert."

Luo Shu didn't change his face at all, with a smile on his face, "Hey, my nephew is back."

After he finished speaking, he explained, "Master Fu Yin has an order. Si Nong Yan Mingzhe is embezzling money, and the amount is huge. The Yan family's entire family will be imprisoned, and all the property in the mansion will be confiscated."

He wanted to see Yan Si'an's reaction, but Yan Si'an's face was calm, which made Luo Shu feel a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly and said, "As a subordinate, I don't know the cause and effect very clearly."

"So after the house raid is over, I hope my nephew will not make things difficult for me and come to jail with me."

Yan Si'an nodded and said calmly, "I know, but I firmly believe that my father would not do such a stupid thing."

After saying that, he bowed again, showing off his skills well, and then pulled his sister into the house.

Yan Siran's eyes had already accumulated tears. Although his father was in charge of the position of Secretary, his family was well-off and there was no need to be greedy.

At this time, I knew I couldn't fight with others, so I endured my grievance and followed my brother.

When I entered the house, I found someone rummaging around the house, and all the belongings were moved to the outside.

The maids and servants of the family gathered together, while her mother Liu Yueshan stood alone, showing her loneliness.

The two of them didn't hesitate when they came back and strode towards their mother's position.

Liu Yueshan was worried, both for her husband and for her children.

Seeing the brother and sister return, I was finally relieved.

I felt relieved and shed a few tears, but I quickly wiped them away and forced myself to remain calm.

Soon, the property was sorted out, and the person in charge of this matter was none other than Chang Shi Hu Zhengqing.

Compared with Luo Shu, Hu Zhengqing is much more bitter.

Stroking his mustache, he walked up to Liu Yueshan and the others and said with a sneer, "Mrs. Liu, Mr. Fu Yin has ordered that Yan Mansion be raided."

"All the jewelry you have is here. I hope it will be convenient for you."

Nowadays, wealthy people have the habit of wearing gold and silver, and Liu Yueshan is no exception.

Not to mention clothes, gold and silver jewelry are all expensive things in Kaifeng Mansion, adding up to hundreds of taels at least.

Before Liu Yueshan could speak, Yan Siran, who had endured it for a long time, couldn't help but stand up and cursed, "Old bastard, you humiliate my Yan family like this, aren't you afraid of retribution in the future?"

Hu Zhengqing laughed and said, "Miss Luoran doesn't have to worry about it. If you don't want to do it, we can do it ourselves."

"If there are any bumps in the road, don't blame me for not being compassionate."

While he was talking, several evil servants of the Hu family had already approached.

Yan Siran was furious, but with the soldiers outside, there was nothing he could do.

It was Yan Si'an who stood up and comforted him a little, saying, "Although my father is in trouble, the matter has not yet been settled."

"My Yan family has a lot of friends. Among other things, my teacher Wei Zongcheng was once a minister of the DPRK."

"It doesn't matter that my father has really committed a crime. Do you really think you can cover up the sky with just one hand when you are making so many accusations?"

Hu Zhengqing was hesitant, but Wei Zongcheng was a former minister of the DPRK.

Now is the time to retire at home and live for a thousand years.

However, the disciples are all over the court, so if they really interfere, it will be really troublesome.

After hesitating for a moment, he said forcefully, "The governor has verified that your father is guilty of corruption. There are both witnesses and material evidence. The case cannot be overturned."

"But I will give you a chance to prove your innocence. When you know what despair is, we will see if you regret today's arrogance."

After saying that, he turned around and left, but he didn't force any more jewelry from Liu Yueshan.

Yan Siran looked at Hu Zhengqing walking away, spat from a distance, and cursed, "Old bastard."

But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face turned red for a moment.

Liu Yueshan comes from a womanly family, but at this time she is not as well-mannered as her own eldest son.

I can only protect my daughter and hope to give her some comfort.

But the matter seemed to be a foregone conclusion, all the belongings were taken away and the servants were imprisoned separately.

But below Liu Yueshan, Yan Siran and Yan Si'an were imprisoned on death row.

This is basically the treatment that only those convicted of death crimes will receive. They only need to wait for the imperial court's approval and will be executed in the autumn.

Yan Mingzhe still hadn't seen him, which made Yan Sian become more and more nervous.

At night, Liu Yueshan hugged Yan Siran and rested in the corner, but Yan Si'an was waiting for someone.

The three members of the family haven't eaten. One is because they are in a bad mood, and the other is that the food in the cell is really hard to swallow.

After a while, the head of a cell came over carrying a food box.

He sent away the yamen guard and walked into the cells where several people were kept.

While taking things out, he said, "Master An, things are in a hurry, you and your wife can eat together first."

"If you want to eat anything tomorrow, just ask me."

The embossed carving on the food box is obviously the signature of Hongbin Restaurant, but it seems to be unacceptable to the class leader.

Indeed, Yan Mansion is a wealthy family, and the family has hired chefs from all over the country. Although Hongbin Restaurant is not small, it is still relatively inferior.

Yan Si'an had already made a plan and knew that the squad leader would come.

He said politely, "Thank you, Captain Hong. I hope you will be careful and not cause any trouble to your family."

Bantou Hong chuckled and said, "Where is it? Master Yan is famous for being an upright official. Everyone in Kaizhou Prefecture doesn't know that."

"There must be a traitor who framed me this time. It only takes a little time for the injustice to be vindicated."

"What's more, my mother once confessed that my Hong family owes the Yan family a debt of gratitude with my life. If I don't repay it, I will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave after my death."

The Yan family is well off, and they have a daughter who likes to spread their wealth. They have an excellent reputation in Kaizhou Prefecture.

In particular, Yan Mingzhe was responsible for taxation. When encountering real difficulties, he often helped to make up for it himself, and his reputation was even more prominent.

Many years ago, there was a sudden disaster in Kaizhou Prefecture and the food harvest was poor. It was the Yan family who took the lead in donating money and materials, which prevented Kaizhou Prefecture from becoming a hell on earth.

Especially the Hong family's mother, if it weren't for the doctor the Yan family paid so much money to, she would have been buried that year.

Later, Yan Si Anguang made friends, including Bantou Hong.

In the past, the two parties had different identities, so Bantou Hong could not have too much contact, but now it is time to repay the favor.

Two meat and vegetables, one soup, and some snacks.

All the contents of the food box had been taken out, and Bantou Hong took out another jug ​​of wine.

"A good daughter is not as good as outside in prison. She has earthy aura and is prone to diseases."

"You nobles, please drink a little. When you wake up tomorrow, this disaster will probably be over."

Yan Si'an thanked him again and again and escorted Bantou Hong to the cell door.

Seeing that her mother and sister were not paying attention, she whispered, "There is one more thing I hope Bantou Hong can help with."

He took out a letter and said, "Give this letter to my teacher. Whether the Yan family can pass this test depends on whether my teacher is willing to take action."
