Huaxi Chronicle

Da da da.

The carriage is drifting away.

Yan Cong'an turned back and walked towards the Yan family's courtyard, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he heard a sad voice from beside him: "Aunt Su insists on reconciling with Father, it seems that you, Third Sister, must provoke you? "

"Second brother really thinks highly of Cong'an. Why Aunt Su and Cong Le left Yan's house, second brother should know the real reason better than me." Yan Cong'an glanced at him and said lightly, "Second brother Why blame it on me."

"Since I met the third sister today, I still want to remind you as an elder brother. Just take care of your own people, don't stretch your hands too far." Yan Hongyuan hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile that was not a smile.

"Thank you, Second Brother, for your suggestion." Yan Cong'an said with the same expression.

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed.

Today is the time.

When the wind suddenly picked up, the sky that should have been clear was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and only a moment later, there were lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.

The wind blew the raindrops and slapped and crackled the windows.

Yan Cong'an raised his head from the desk, glanced at the sudden change in the sky, and called out to the door: "Yuzhu, is Fei Bai back?"

Early this morning, Zhao Shiyi came to look for Xun Feibai, and went to his home to discuss his engagement with Lin Zhu.At noon Xun Feibai sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he was staying at Zhao's house for dinner.

"I'll go and have a look." Yuzhu found an umbrella and walked towards the gate.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Third lady, the concierge said that my lord has not come home yet." After Yuzhu finished speaking, she saw Yan Cong'an frowned, and she hurriedly said, "Perhaps it was delayed by the heavy rain. I have already sent a carriage to Zhao's house." Pick her up."

It was windy and rainy outside, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves.

Yan Cong'an only felt a little uneasy in her heart. She put down the book in her hand and kept looking in the direction of the courtyard door.

After half an hour.

The first break of the showers, the blue sky is like washing.

The rainwater from the eaves trickled down the ridge of the roof and hit the bluestone road in front of the house.

Tick, tick, tick.

Hearing this, Yan Cong'an got up and walked out of the study, feeling inexplicably irritable.

Seeing her coming out, Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, third lady, I'll go to the door and have a look, maybe my uncle has come back." Then she turned around and wanted to go out of the courtyard.

Yan Cong'an stopped her and said, "I'm with you."

Yuzhu wanted to lead the way, but Yan Cong'an quickly stepped ahead of her.

Seeing the two walking out, Bao He hurriedly followed.

There is abundant rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the weather is humid, and the edges of the Qingshiban road are covered with moss.The cobblestone road was slippery after the rain, and Yuzhu couldn't help reminding, "Third Lady, step carefully."

Although Yan Cong'an responded, his feet didn't slow down, and he still walked forward quickly.She was a little anxious, and always felt that she should have sent someone to Zhao's house earlier to retrieve Xun Feibai.

Seeing that her consolation was fruitless, Yuzhu had no choice but to quicken her pace to keep up with Yan Cong'an.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the East Garden, they saw a young servant running towards them in a hurry.

Seeing Yan Cong'an, the servant quickly stopped, bowed and said, "Third lady, I went to Zhao's house but I didn't see you. The Zhao family said that you left after lunch."

Hearing this, Yan Cong'an felt even more uneasy, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you asked Zhao Shiyi, but did you hear her mention where she will go after she leaves?"

"Zhao Dalang said that she should have gone home." The servant replied.

"Go home?" Zhao Shiyi should be talking about the Xun family.Yan Cong'an frowned, and told the boy, "Go to Xun's house again, she has returned there."

The boy got the order and ran out quickly.

Looking at his back as he hurried away, Yan Cong'an became more and more anxious.

"Third lady..." Before Yuzhu could say anything, she was interrupted by Yan Cong'an.

"I'd better go to the door and wait. I always feel a little uneasy." After finishing speaking, he continued to walk towards the door.

Half an hour ago.

In an instant, the wind and clouds rolled, thunder roared and rainstorm poured down.

Xun Feibai originally wanted Lin Tong to stop the carriage and find a place to stop for a while, so that he could go home after avoiding the torrential rain.

She just got up, but unexpectedly the car body shook suddenly and fell to one side.Xun Feibai couldn't stand firmly for a moment, his body tilted, and his head hit the car beam.She only felt that her eyes went dark, and she lost consciousness.

Bang, clang, clang.

Bang, clang, clang.

An urgent and forceful knock on the door woke Xun Feibai who was in a coma.When she regained her consciousness, she only felt that she was lying on the cold ground, her mind was in chaos, and her forehead was in unbearable pain.

Xun Fei opened his eyes in vain, and wanted to reach out his right hand to rub his forehead, but felt that his hand was extremely heavy.She curled her fingers slightly, only feeling that the thing in her palm was cold and hard, with a sticky dampness.

She looked sideways, and was immediately frightened by the scene in front of her.She held a long knife in her hand, and the knife was covered with blood from the end of the blade to the handle, and even her palm.

She sat up abruptly, throwing away the knife in her hand.

With a bang, the long knife was thrown to one side, and the uncoagulated blood on the handle dripped onto the surrounding ground.

Xun Feibai was extremely flustered in his heart, and stood up with support on the ground, only to find that his right hand was removed, and the front, cuffs, and hem of his clothes were also stained with blood.

She was terrified in her heart, and couldn't help but staggered back two steps before she stood still a little.Xun Feibai took two deep breaths, no matter how panicked she was, she had no choice but to force herself to calm down as soon as possible, and judged that she was suitable for the current situation and situation.

She quickly looked around, and found that she was in the main room of a private house. When she looked up, she saw a mess. The tables and chairs were tilted to this side, and the teacups and porcelain bowls fell to the ground.She took a closer look, only to see that the wall on the west side was covered with blood splatters, and there was a person leaning against that wall.

Looking from a distance, the man was covered in blood, sitting against the wall, with a large pool of blood dripping from his body.

Xun Feibai bravely stepped forward, only to see that the right arm of the person on the ground had been cut off, and the severed arm fell to the side of the wall where he woke up.

The man's hair was loose and his head was drooping, his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't see his face clearly.The clothes on his body were also cut and torn in several places, making them very messy.

A loud bang.

Noisy footsteps sounded from the courtyard, which really startled Xun Feibai, and she turned to look outside the door.

Not long after, a group of people ran into the main room, and these people were all dressed as Yamen servants.

When the leading policeman saw the scene inside the house, he first yelled: "Where are the thugs, in broad daylight, how dare they kill people and make trouble." After that, he drew out the knife from his waist and pointed it at Xun Feibai.

"I didn't kill this person. When I woke up just now, he was already dead. I didn't kill him." Xun Feibai explained aloud.

The lead policeman glanced at her quickly, and then pointed to the long knife on the ground: "The stolen goods are all stolen, how do you want to argue? You are the only one in this room. If you didn't kill the person, who did it?"

"I don't know what the situation is. I was in the carriage. I accidentally bumped into the carriage beam and passed out. I was here when I woke up." Xun Feibai just woke up from a coma. I don't know how to explain the current situation.

The lead arrester took a quick step forward and said sharply, "Don't talk so much nonsense. If you are wronged, go to the magistrate of the county, and I'm only responsible for arresting people."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and asked the fellow arresters to step forward and take Xun Feibai down.

Seeing this scene, Xun Feibai also knew that there was no way to refute it, so he had no choice but to arrest him without a fight.

The leading policeman said to another person: "Go and see if that person is dead?"

The catcher quickly ran to the side of the man on the ground, leaned over to check and then raised his head and shouted: "Dead, but the body is still hot, he just died not long ago."

The two arresters took a step forward, one stood beside her and tied Xun Feibai's hands behind his back, and the other pulled out the hemp rope around his waist to bind her hands.

The pain in his forehead was unbearable, and his hands were tied behind his back.Xun Feibai only felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't care about it right now. She turned her head slightly and looked at the female catcher beside her and quickly asked, "Brother, can you ask who died in this room?"

The female catcher gave him a quick glance, and said fiercely: "You killed the man, why do you still ask me?"

"I really didn't kill that man." Xun Feibai explained, "The man on the ground is more than seven feet tall. If you look at me again, I don't have the strength to restrain a chicken. How can I kill him?"

The female catcher took a quick look at her, seemed to think that what she said was reasonable, and said, "That man's name is Qian Tan, and he is the owner of this house. You really don't know him?"

Xun Feibai was shocked and said, "Qian Tan? You said he is Qian Tan?"

Qian Tan, isn't that the name of Guanshi Qian?

She thought for a while, and then asked, "Is this Guangyuan Street?" Xun Feibai had heard from Bao He that Guanshi Qian lived in Guangyuan Street. up.

"In this way, you are acquainted with him?" the arrester asked with a cold face. "Aren't you just pretending to be stupid to fool me here?"

Xun Feibai was about to wave her hands, but remembered that her hands were tied behind her back, unable to move, she quickly shook her head and explained, "I know him, but his hair was disheveled and covered his face, I didn't recognize him." He recognized it."

Seeing that the female police officer didn't say anything more, Xun Feibai only thought that she believed his words, and then asked: "How do you know that there are murderers here? Did someone report the crime? Or did you just happen to be patrolling here?"

"Why do you talk so much nonsense? If no one reported the crime, how would we know that there was a murderer here? You..."

"Zheng Yu, you talk so much, why don't you go to that teahouse to be a storyteller."

Before the female catcher could finish her sentence, she was stopped sharply by the lead catcher.

Zheng Yu was dissatisfied, but he stopped talking to Xun Fei.She lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "The villain gains power."

Xun Feibai raised his eyes to look at the two, lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

Everyone left Qian's house, and the door was already full of people.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." The lead policeman shouted loudly, "The murderer is so attractive, get out of the way."

At this time, the heavy rain had already stopped, and the afterglow of the setting sun was extremely red, and Xun Feibai, who was shaking directly, lost his mind for a moment.

After the rain, the wind is cool, and the residual leaves on the branches are rolled up, bringing a little rainwater, dripping on Xun Fei's white cheeks.

The coolness spread, making her even more awake.Xun Feibai slowly remembered what happened before. She was going back to Yan's house in a carriage, but the carriage overturned on the way, and she hit the beam of the carriage before passing out.

At this time, the sun was already slanting to the west, and she passed out in less than an hour.The blood on Guanshi Qian's side hadn't coagulated either, which meant that he should have died not long ago.Within an hour, someone brought her unconscious to Qian's house, and then killed Guanshi Qian and planted her as the victim.

So much trouble, what is the purpose of those people doing this?And if she is here, where is Lin Tong who is driving?But he was also kidnapped?

After rethinking everything, an idea slowly popped up in her mind.She was certain in her heart that what happened today had been premeditated for a long time.

Xun Feibai was escorted all the way to the county government, but he was not directly escorted to the lobby for interrogation, but was locked in the prison of the county government.

She was arrested on the spot for 'murder', and the evidence was conclusive, but she was imprisoned without arraignment.Such an abnormal behavior confirmed the conjecture in her heart.

In the north of the city, the Yan family.

Before the three of Yan Cong'an reached the door, they saw Lin Tong running towards them in a hurry.The clothes on her body were already soaked, and the clothes were in a mess with marks of sword scratches, and there was a little scarlet in the tear.

Yan Cong'an's mind clicked, and her expression changed instantly, a bad premonition spread in her heart.

"What happened? Where's Feibai?" Yan Cong'an asked in a panic.

"I have something to discuss with Miss Lin. After we left Zhao's house at noon, we went back to Xun's house. When we left Xun's house, there was nothing unusual. When we walked to Qinghe Street, there was a sudden strong wind and heavy rain At this point, Lin Tong coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yan Cong'an hurriedly let the treasure box come forward to support him, Lin Tong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and waved his hand: "It's nothing serious. I saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so I speeded up the carriage. But as soon as we reached the intersection, the horse I didn’t know why I tripped over. I fell off the carriage and was about to get up when suddenly seven or eight big men rushed out on the road.”

When the carriage was stopped, another big man blocked the way.Needless to say, I know that someone must have premeditated.

"I was no match for their numbers, and I was knocked out. When I woke up, my uncle was nowhere to be seen." After Lin Tong said that, he knelt down on one knee, "This subordinate neglected his duty and failed to keep my uncle safe. Please punish the third lady."

"They should have planned it long ago. You are one against eight, so you are not their opponent."

Seven or eight big men were robbing people in the street, and they acted so violently that Yan Cong'an couldn't help but think that these people might be bandits who escaped from Tianhu Village.

Yan Cong'an's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he ordered in a cold voice, "Treasure box, send everyone out to look for it. Within an hour, I want to know where she is."

As soon as Yan Cong'an finished speaking, the young man who had just left the house hurried back and stopped in front of them.

"It's not good, it's not good, third, third lady, my uncle has been found." Because he was running too fast, the boy couldn't catch his breath for a while, and he stumbled when he spoke, some words didn't make sense.

"Tell me slowly, it's a good thing that my uncle found it, so why not?" Yuzhu hurriedly answered.

"My lord, my lord..." The servant hit his chest with his hand, and continued, "My lord, she killed someone."

"What did you say?" Yan Cong'an asked sharply.

"I was walking towards Xun's house just now. When I passed by Guangyuan Street, I found a group of people surrounded by the gate of a house. I didn't want to pay attention, so I walked around them. But I heard someone whispering in the crowd, saying that it was the Yan's family. His new uncle killed someone."

"I squeezed into the crowd to see, and I saw two officials coming out of the courtyard with my uncle under pressure. I wanted to go up to talk to my uncle, but the officer waved me away." The boy frowned as he said, " But I see something wrong with my uncle's expression, as if he has just woken up from sleep."

"Guangyuan Street?" Ruoyan Cong'an correctly remembered that Guanshi Qian's home was on Guangyuan Street, and she then asked, "Then who died?"

"The one who died was the owner of the house. I heard that his surname seems to be Qian." The boy replied after thinking for a while.

Guangyuan Street, surnamed Qian.

Yan Cong'an's heart shuddered, nine out of ten this person was in charge of Qian.

Qinghe Street is in the south of the city, and Guangyuan Street is in the north of the city, with a distance of two quarters of an hour between them.It rained for less than half an hour just now, in such a short period of time, carjacking, kidnapping, planting and killing, the person who was killed was Qian Tan.

Step by step design, interlocking.

Today's matter must have been planned for a long time, and it is really malicious.

Yan Cong'an was furious, she turned and glanced in the direction of Xiyuan.Thinking of Xun Feibai, he turned to the treasure box and said, "Follow me to the county government."
