Huaxi Chronicle

County jail.

Yan Cong'an looked anxious: "Why?"

She was very puzzled, why Xun Feibai didn't let her beat the grievance drum?

She has been uneasy since Shen Shiwei waited until Xun Feibai returned home, and she was even more uneasy after knowing that she was in prison, thinking hard about how to rescue her from this prison.Listening to her recount what happened in the afternoon, I was even more terrified and terrified.

As long as she thinks that Xun Feibai almost encountered an accident today, a piece of her heart seems to be severely gouged out, and the pain penetrates to the marrow.She couldn't bear to let the person in front of her suffer any harm, let alone other things.At that time, she will definitely regret it and regret it forever.

Fear rolled over like a huge wave, and hit her heart fiercely. The pain pierced her heart, and instantly overwhelmed Yan Cong'an's mind. With all the strength, he only held Xun Feibai's hand tightly.Only by feeling the beating of the pulse on this man's wrist, strong and powerful, can he feel a little bit of peace of mind.

Yan Cong'an's hands hurt so much, Xun Feibai looked down, Yan Cong'an's hands were firmly clasped on his wrists, and Ruyu's knuckles were slightly white due to too much force.

She wanted to retract her wrist, but Yan Cong'an pinned her so she couldn't move. Then she looked up at Yan Cong'an, only to see that she was already in a trance, and her face was full of pleading and regret.

Seeing her dumbfounded appearance, Xun Feibai couldn't help feeling very distressed. She quickly wrapped her in her arms and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid of Cong'an, I'm fine. It's all over." She stroked Yan Cong'an with one hand She said softly, "Cong'an, Cong'an, look at me, I'm not safe and sound in front of you, don't worry."

Maybe it was Xun Feibai's comforting effect, Yan Cong'an slowly gave her wrist, and when she came back to see the person in front of her, she was slightly stunned for a moment, then her eyes were red and filled with tears, and then Like pearls with a broken thread, they couldn't stop falling wantonly on her face.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Xun Feibai saw her cry for the first time, every tear was like a boulder, hitting her heart hard, making her flustered.

Yan Cong'an cried without a sound, but Xun Feibai felt her heart was broken by Yan Cong'an's cry, and she hugged him tightly in her arms.The person in his arms trembled slightly, clutching her skirt tightly, Xun Feibai leaned over and comforted her over and over again: "I'm here, Cong'an, I'm here, Cong'an."

The gentle voice with tenderness like water poured into my heart like a spring of sweetness. The fear and anxiety in my heart was gradually infiltrated and smoothed by An Xin, but the tears in the corners of my eyes still didn't stop.

After a while, Yan Cong'an slowly calmed down, she felt that it was a bit embarrassing to be so tearful just now.His face was blushing, and he buried his head in Xun Feibai's arms, unwilling to get up.

Xun Feibai noticed that the person in his arms was no longer trembling, looked down and saw Yan Cong'an nodding his head and resting in his arms, the abnormal rosiness on the tips of his ears revealed his master's shame.

Xun Feibai chuckled, and couldn't help but said, "Cong'an is so delicate, it's really pitiful."

Yan Cong'an heard the teasing meaning in her words, pinched the soft flesh around her waist in embarrassment, and said angrily: "Little bastard, it's all because I'm worried about you that I lost my composure."

"My fault, my fault, don't worry about it!"

Xun Feibai smiled and grabbed her hand, and after grabbing it, he put it between his lips and kissed it lightly.

It only provoked Yan Cong'an to give her an angry look.

Xun Feibai saw that her complexion was delicate and red, and she didn't have the panic expression just now, so he said, "Cong Anke wants to listen to me, why don't you let you beat the grievance drum?"

Talking about business, Yan Cong'an raised his eyebrows slightly.Just now she was distracted by a moment of panic, and she didn't think carefully about what Xun Feibai meant.At this time, when you think about it again, you really don't think you should immediately beat the grievance drum.

Today's event must have been planned for a long time by the people behind this scene.It took such a lot of trouble to frame Xun Fei and kill him in vain.The purpose behind it is not simple, most likely it is not to let Xun Fei be convicted of murder in vain, but to put him in prison, it is best to make him panic and lose his position.

If it was someone else who died, Yan Cong'an might not know what they were asking for.But the person who died was Qian Tan, who was in charge.

The deep meaning behind this is obvious.

The reason the planners went to such great lengths was to restrain Xun Feibai, and exchange her safety with Yan Cong'an for evidence of their illegal salt trafficking - the two account books they found from Steward Qian's house.

Although the cause and effect of the matter had been thoroughly thought through, Yan Cong'an was still a little worried, she didn't want to gamble with Xun Feibai's safety.

She knew she couldn't afford to lose.To her, Xun Feibai is better than everything in this world.

She pulled Xun Xun Feibai's skirt, shook her head gently at her, her eyes were full of worry, and she said urgently: "No, I don't want you to risk yourself, I just want you to be safe and sound."

"There is no need to worry about my safety in Cong'an. They arrested me but did not open the court for interrogation. Presumably they did not intend to convict me directly." Xun Feibai explained, "And now that I have a reputation, they can't use torture at will , Cong Anmo should be too worried."

"But the conditions in this prison are so bad, how can I have the heart to let you stay here?" Yan Cong'an disagreed.

"Don't worry about Cong'an, I can't stay here for a few days. I think those people will be eager to find you in the next few days. Cong'an should spend more time thinking about how to find the person behind the scenes." Xun Feibai continued Consolation said.

"I still feel something is wrong." Yan Cong'an still disagreed.

"It should not be difficult for Cong'an to imagine that even if I escape successfully this time, they will definitely have other plans, and maybe they will be more cautious next time, and will not leave any openings for me to escape."

Xun Feibai watched Yan Cong'an's eyebrows carefully while being persuasive and persuasive, and saw a slight slack on her face.Then he continued to persuade: "In the current situation, we'd better follow the plan and find out all the people involved. Then we will wipe them all out, so that we will have no worries from now on."

"If you are worried about my safety, then send someone to protect me secretly." Xun Feibai thought for a while and then continued.

Although Yan Cong'an was unwilling, what Xun Feibai said was indeed reasonable, and it would be most appropriate to do what she said.

"Don't hesitate anymore, just do as I say. Listen to me from Anxin, okay?" Xun Feibai held her hand and begged in a low voice.

Seeing her persistence, Yan Cong'an had no choice but to nod in response.

Xun Feibai remembered something, and asked in a worried voice, "How is the Lin Tong line now? Do you have any news about her?"

"She was only knocked out and suffered some minor injuries, but she was not seriously injured."

"That's good." Xun Feibai felt a little relieved.

The two discussed some countermeasures, and seeing that it was getting late, Xun Feibai urged her to leave.

Yan Cong'an raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the sky outside through the small window. It was indeed a little dark.She wanted to stay with Xun Feibai for a little longer, but she sternly refused.

She reluctantly left the cell.After leaving the prison, Yan Cong'an ordered the treasure box to send Xun Feibai some food and thick clothes later.Send two more people to guard the prison door to observe the fatigue situation at any time, and protect Xun Feibai at all costs if there is any disturbance.

Early the next morning.

"Third lady, I have found out the news. Magistrate Lu was originally the magistrate of Donghai County, Chaozhou, and was transferred to Huaxi County last month. This person was notorious in Donghai County. He colluded with the wealthy gentry to oppress the people. He is very unpopular in the fish and meat village. , was impeached by Chaozhou Zhizhou Shangzhe. It stands to reason that he should have been dismissed from office, but he didn't know how to operate behind the scenes. He was not dismissed, but was transferred to Huaxi County as the county magistrate." The treasure box reported the news it found Yu Yan Cong'an.

"Being so arrogant, can we find out the background of He's family?" Yan Cong'an asked in a deep voice.

"The county magistrate of Lu is the third son of Lu Qingfeng, a medicine merchant in Yuzhou, Lu Huairen."

Lu Qingfeng is the largest medicine merchant in Yuzhou, and Qingfeng Pharmacy in Huaxi County is his family business.

Qingfeng Pharmacy?Lu Qingfeng?Lu Huairen?

A flash of light flashed in Yan Cong'an's mind, and he remembered something.The Qingfeng Pharmacy in Huaxi County was Lu Qingfeng's dowry for his daughter when she got married, and Lu Qingfeng's daughter was married to Wang Dalang, the young owner of the brocade cloth shop.This person was exactly the one Yan Guangxin wanted to force Yan Congle to marry a few days ago, the widower Wang Dalang who had lost two wives.

Yan Cong'an sent someone to check on Wang Dalang. On the surface, he was gentle and gentle, but in fact he was an evil ghost in human skin.He has some special hobbies, and he likes to be violent and mutilate women when doing that thing.His two wives who died early claimed that they died of illness, but in fact one of them was unbearable and committed suicide.The other was whipped to death while alive.

The second wife's natal family discovered that the daughter's body was abnormal, and wanted to sue Wang Dalang for killing his wife, but Wang Dalang secretly paid a large amount of money to seal the silence.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Dalang has a human face and a beast heart.Fortunately, Yan Congle has already left the Yan family, otherwise, if Yan Guangyi married Wang Dalang, he might not escape death.

Donghai County is near the sea and is rich in sea salt.And Lu Huairen used to be the county magistrate in Donghai, so it was not difficult to dry salt in private.As for what happened yesterday, Lu Huairen behaved abnormally.Yan Cong'an originally thought that he was avoiding him, but he just wanted to delay the time, so that he could give him more benefits in a hurry.

Thinking about it carefully, from the very beginning, County Magistrate Lu should have been involved in the smuggling and smuggling of sea salt.Both he and Yan Guangyi are Wang Dalang's relatives by marriage, so it's not surprising that they colluded together.

Guanshi Qian, Yan Guangyi, and Lu Huairen, apart from these three, is there anyone else involved?Like Wang Dalang?

After breakfast, Yan Cong'an led Yuzhu and was about to visit Xun Feibai in the prison.Before she reached the door, she saw the doorman running towards the courtyard.

Seeing her stop, the servant took out a letter from his arms and handed it to her, "Third Lady, this is the letterhead that someone asked the slave to hand over to you just now."

Yan Cong'an took the letter, but the envelope was blank without any handwriting.She took out the letter paper inside, and there were only a few words on the paper: Sishijiji, Laifu Teahouse, Jiaer.

She thought for a moment, put the paper back into the envelope, and was about to go out again, but just after a few steps, she saw a person walking towards her.

"Third sister is walking in such a hurry, where are you going?" Yan Hongyuan had a smile on his face, but with his gloomy eyes, there was a bit of coldness.

Yan Cong'an nodded slightly as a salute, and said displeasedly, "Where am I going, doesn't the second brother know?"

"Oh, that's right." He pretended to suddenly understand, and said with a malicious smile, "Your lady killed someone yesterday, and you are so loving, so you should visit him in prison."

"Second Brother, since you know about it, don't block my way again." After finishing speaking, she wanted to walk around Yan Hongyuan sideways.

Yan Hongyuan stretched out his hand again to stop him, and said with deep meaning: "Third sister, don't worry, Second brother still has something to say to you."

Her mood was up and down yesterday, and she was distracted for a moment before being persuaded by Xun Feibai.After she returned home and thought about it carefully, she felt that something was wrong.Doing this is tantamount to using Xun Feibai as bait to lure the snake out of its hole.She regretted that she was persuaded by Xun Feibai and agreed to stay in prison first.But now, there is no other way but to wait.

Because she was always worried about Xun Feibai in the prison, Yan Cong'an couldn't sleep or eat, she tossed and turned all night without sleep.She thought about going to visit Xun Feibai in prison earlier today, only when she saw this man safe and sound with her own eyes, could she feel at ease.

Another point is that the more worried and caring she is about Xun Feibai, the more the person who planned it will feel that his scheme has succeeded, so he will relax his vigilance and come to the door earlier.

Yan Cong'an was a little anxious to see Xun Feibai, so he went out early in the morning to visit him in prison.She was blocked by Yan Hongyuan again and again, she was already a little impatient, she couldn't help but coldly said: "I don't know what the second brother wants to tell me?"

Yan Hongyuan squinted his narrow eyes, glanced at the letter in her hand meaningfully, and smiled sinisterly at the corner of his mouth, "I advise third sister not to meddle in other things. Some things should be done in moderation, so as not to cause big troubles , and harm the family again."

"I also have something to tell my second brother." Yan Cong'an said after a pause, "You can't do anything against the law and discipline, so your second brother can do it on your own."

Yan Cong'an patted his hand away and went straight out the door, but she never saw Yan Hongyuan's face getting more gloomy behind him.

When Yan Cong'an and Yuzhu came to the door, the treasure box was already waiting outside the door in a carriage.When she got into the carriage, the hand that opened the curtain stopped for a moment, then she turned her head and said, "Go to Laifu Teahouse."

The treasure box paused for a moment, she didn't know why Yan Cong'an temporarily changed her place, but she didn't ask any further questions, and made a gesture to the guard in the dark, then pulled the reins and turned the car around.

Laifu Teahouse is also in the north of the city, not too far from Yan's house, and the carriage arrived there in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Seeing Yan Cong'an getting off the carriage, the boy in the tea house bowed forward and greeted him with a smile: "Please come inside, lady, do you want to go to the private room in the lobby or on the second floor?"

"Second A." Yan Cong'an said.

"Okay, please go this way." The servant led the three of them into the hall.
