Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Xu Ziguang turned over and got up, then crawled out of the study.

Yan Xishan was so angry that he took off his shoes and chased out with them in the air. Just as he was running out, he ran into Bai Xi. The couple collided head-on, and Bai Xi was knocked backwards to the ground, screaming in pain.

Yan Xishan quickly put down his shoes and went to help his wife.

Xu Ziguang ran to the gate and yelled, "Master Yan, you can do whatever you want! I'm going to go back and have a good sleep now. I don't care about those people anyway, you can do it yourself. If you make me angry, I will hang myself. When I die, the account book will go to Kyoto."

"Fuck you, I'm going to wipe out your entire clan." Yan Xishan cursed angrily.

"Don't even mention nine clans, ten clans will do. If my ten clans are destroyed, your nine clans won't be able to escape either." Xu Ziguang was also angry and took the opportunity to make a harsh statement.

After saying that, he ran away as fast as he could.

Yan Xishan wanted to chase him, but Bai Xi held out his hand to stop him and said, "Forget it, don't chase him. He is just like that. Why bother with him? The most important thing right now is to stabilize Chang Wei and the hundreds of big households."

"Oh! What a trouble. If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have framed Gu Chan last night." Yan Xishan sighed as he put on his shoes.

"Now that things have happened, there's no point in saying so much. Let's go! Call our daughter, and we'll accompany you to the county government office." Bai Xi said unhappily.

Yan Xishan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then nodded in agreement.

After a while, the family of three left the Censorate and went to the county government office in a horse-drawn carriage.

When they arrived outside the gate of the county government, they found that hundreds of horse-drawn carriages had already blocked the gate.

Chang Wei led hundreds of wealthy families and blocked the door in a mighty manner. The legal advisor and dozens of officials were so frightened that they guarded the gate of the county government tightly and did not dare to let them in.

Yan Li huddled in the carriage and was really afraid to get out.

Even though she is usually sinister and vicious, when faced with such a big thing, she is more cowardly than anyone else.

Yan Xishan glared at her and cursed, "Why are you so scared? Where was your energy when you framed Gu Chan last night? Now that we've encountered such a big scene, you don't dare to get off the carriage?"

"Who said I dare not get off the carriage? What do I have to be afraid of?" Yan Li said stubbornly.

"These are all good ideas you came up with. Now it works!" Yan Xishan said with a grim face.

Yan Li hurriedly acted coquettishly towards her mother.

Bai Xi scolded, "I've already said that we're here to solve the problem, why do you keep scolding your daughter? If you have the ability, go and deal with Chang Wei and the others!"

"Oh! It's true that a loving mother often spoils her child. I think she will be ruined in your hands sooner or later." Yan Xishan said angrily.

After saying that, he had no choice but to get off the carriage and walk forward with two guards.

Yan Li and Bai Xi didn't dare to go down, so they could only huddle in the carriage and peek from afar through the curtains.

Soon Yan Xishan arrived at the gate of the county government with two guards.

When the master saw the Jiangnan Chief Censor coming, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said, "Mr. Censor, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, they would have broken into the county government office."

"Alright, be quiet. You guys, are you planning to rebel? You come here in broad daylight to block the gate of the county government office. What do you want to do?" Yan Xishan stood with his hands behind his back, roaring in pretended anger.

The wealthy people quickly shut their mouths and dared not say anything more.

Chang Wei was not afraid at all. He stepped forward and said, "Lord Yan, you came at the right time. We are here to ask the county magistrate for someone. We don't believe that Gu Chan would set fire to Jiangnan Garden for no reason. We hope that the county magistrate will clarify the case and give us all an explanation."

"Bah! What is Gu Chan's relationship with you? Does he need to be made clear to you? She set fire to Jiangnan Garden last night. There are witnesses and evidence. We should arrest him. You should leave quickly, otherwise I will arrest you too." Yan Xishan refused to admit his mistake.

"Lord Yan, if you say so, then I have to serve as a witness." Chang Wei sneered.

After he finished speaking, he raised his big hand and waved it, and two guards from the Chang family brought the two scholars over from the back.

Obviously, Chang Wei never fights a battle without preparation. On the surface, he said that he brought the wealthy families here to ask the county magistrate to release the people, but in fact, he had already made arrangements in secret and brought all the evidence that was favorable to Gu Chan.

Yan Xishan was stunned!

After the two scholars were brought up, he asked with a dumbfounded look on his face, "Who are they?"

"Lord Yan, these two are the scholars who were strolling around Jiangnan Garden last night. I looked for many people before I confirmed that they witnessed the fire in Jiangnan Garden last night, so I brought them here specially." Chang Wei said.

Yan Xishan was speechless, his expression becoming uncertain.

Chang Wei looked at the two scholars and said, "Come on! Tell us everything you saw last night."

"Yes, Mr. Chang." The two scholars said in unison.

Then they began to tell their story.

"We were strolling around Jiangnan Garden last night and saw Manager Gu standing at the door reading the inscriptions. He was about to leave when suddenly a black figure in night clothes jumped down from the roof of the library, and Manager Gu chased him in."

"Yes, not long after she chased him in, the Jiangnan Garden Library caught fire. So we can be sure that he didn't set the fire. He was standing in the yard the whole time and never entered the library. The fire must have been set by the mysterious man in the nightgown."

Chang Wei stared at Yan Xishan and smiled faintly, "How about it, Lord Yan, do you have anything else to say now?"

"How do I know if they are lying? Do you think you can exonerate Gu Chan by just finding two people to talk nonsense?" Yan Xishan said with a stiff face.

"Among all the people who put out the fire in Jiangnan Garden last night, no one saw Gu Chan setting the fire. Not even those academicians saw it. If Lord Yan still doesn't believe it, I can invite everyone present and those academicians. If they all say that they didn't see Gu Chan setting the fire, then doesn't it prove that Lord Yan made the wrong judgment last night and wronged Gu Chan? I can ask my relatives in Kyoto to report you to the Emperor?" Chang Wei said coldly.

"You..." Yan Xishan was choked so hard that he couldn't even fart.

In the Jiangnan area, who doesn’t know that the Chang family has relatives serving as high-ranking officials in the imperial court in Kyoto?

If Chang Wei is really pissed off, he might ask his relatives who are high-ranking officials in Kyoto to report the matter to the emperor, and that would be a serious problem.

So at this moment, Yan Xishan had to start weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and most importantly, he was extremely guilty, because this was a vicious plot planned by his daughter, and the purpose was to frame Gu Chan.

If this matter really gets reported to the emperor, and he orders a thorough investigation of the matter, once the investigation leads to Yan Li, their entire family will be finished!
