C240 240 Confess

Especially after he heard from the county magistrate that the Ninth Imperial Uncle had summoned him to the Huaxi Town because of the annihilation of the Chen family.

Thinking about it, Yan Qi felt goosebumps all over his body.

Coming here, he found out from the Zhixian that the Huaxi Town was making trouble for the ghosts, and the ghosts were the Chen family's vengeful spirits.

As the saying goes, never do something shameful in your life, and not be surprised when you knock on the door in the middle of the night.

Obviously, Yan Qi was guilty, so when he heard the words of the County Magistrate, he was so scared that his legs started to tremble.

Yan Yuan did not speak, he only stared at Yan Qi without saying a word. Even though his eyes were calm and emotionless, his calm eyes seemed to be able to see through Yan Qi's thoughts.

After a long while, Yan Yuan retracted his gaze and said: "No need for formalities."

With just two simple words, he walked to the front of the hall and sat down at the seat next to Yan Heng.

Yan Heng looked at Yan Qi, and then looked at him with an uneasy look.

Although the two were blood-related brothers and he was Yan Yuan's older brother, Yan Heng knew clearly in his heart that, as both of them were emperors of the previous emperor, Yan Yuan's authority was much greater.

Even the Kaiser had to give him some face, let alone a mere King Jing like him.

Yan Heng looked at Yan Yuan, and while rubbing his hands, he asked: "Ninth Brother, I wonder what business do you have after you specially sent someone to call Qi'er over to the Huaxi Town?"

Yan Heng was very perturbed in his heart. If his own son had truly committed a crime, it was almost impossible for him to safely escape from Yan Yuan's grasp.

This Prince Jing was famous for being heartless and extremely cold.

smiled faintly, his gaze cold.

He shifted his gaze to Yan Heng and said, "This king only has some matters to confirm with my nephew. I didn't expect Fourth Brother to come as well. Are you afraid This King will harm your nephew? "

"No, no, how could that be?"

Yan Heng hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "You're Qi'er's blood related uncle, how could Fourth Brother worry about you harming him?"

These words of Yan Heng, was naturally used to play the role of a relative to Yan Yuan, and using the relationship between uncle and nephew as an excuse. Even if Yan Qi had done anything, he hoped that Yan Yuan would show mercy.

The corner of Yan Yuan's mouth twitched, how could she not understand what he meant?

Yan Heng continued: "Fourth Brother just heard that Ninth Brother is in Huaxi Town, and it just so happens that the two of us haven't seen each other for a long time, so he wanted to come and reminisce with Ninth Brother."

When he was speaking, Yan Heng's eyes were quietly sizing up Yan Yuan's expression. What troubled him was that on Yan Yuan's calm face, he could not see anything.

It just so happened that at this time, the servant served them some tea, made them some tea, and then left while trembling in fear.

lifted his teacup, his gaze locked onto the tea leaves floating on top of the tea cup. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he moved the teacup lid, seeming to be deep in thought, or not.

Compared to Yan Heng, Zhuang Qing was even more nervous. The two mountains in front of him, he could not afford to offend either of them.

If he wasn't careful, the black veil cap on his head might be gone.

However, the case investigated by the Prince Jing had something to do with Crown Prince Jing.

Other than Zhuang Qing, Yan Qi was also sweating nervously.

Although royal father came with him to see Ninth Imperial Uncle, he was famous for not recognizing any of the six relatives. If he really found out anything, his little life would really be lost.

Thinking about it, Yan Qi started to break out in a cold sweat.

"Nephew."

Yan Yuan stopped poking at the tea leaves, lazily lifted his eyelids and looked at Yue Yang.

"Royal Uncle, your nephew is here."

Yan Qi's body suddenly trembled, hearing Yan Yuan call him, all the nerves in his body started to tense up.

"This king has heard that you came to Huaxi Town a few months ago?"

"No, no, definitely not, it must be those people framing my nephew. My nephew has never been to the Huaxi Town before, the extermination of the Chen Family has nothing to do with my nephew. Please investigate carefully, uncle."

Yan Yuan held the teacup, lightly sipped on it, and suddenly laughed out.

"This king only asks if you have been to the Huaxi Town. Since when did you mention the Chen Mansion?"

Yan Qi's eyes were startled, and when he raised his eyes to look at Yan Yuan's indifferent face, his face suddenly turned pale white.

He … Was he admitting it without fighting?

Yan Heng's expression also changed greatly as he looked at Yan Yuan with the side of his eyes, "Ninth Brother …"

"Royal Uncle, your nephew only found out about this matter from the County Magistrate when he came over. Please look into it."

Yan Qi's reaction was fast, but after he finished speaking, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart?

"Is that so?"

The corner of Yan Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at Zhuang Qing. He clearly still carried a trace of a gentle smile, but his eyes were so sharp that they brimmed with aggression.

"County Magistrate Zhuang, you mentioned this to the Crown Prince?"

"This …"

Zhuang Qing's cold sweat continued to drip down. No matter how fast he moved, he was not in time to wipe away the sweat on his forehead.

Prince Jing had personally come. If he asked him, would he dare to not answer?

This Crown Prince Jing was truly going to kill him.

He was secretly complaining in his heart. He couldn't deny it even if he wanted to. Once he denied it, wouldn't that just be offending King Jing?

Not before, not later, Zhuang Qing felt that he would not be able to become an official. To be able to keep his life, it was already a blessing.

Yan Yuan looked at the change in Zhuang Qing's expression without batting an eyelid. He already knew the answer without waiting for his answer.

Instead of asking, he just looked at Yan Qi and said: "Why do all of the citizens of the Huaxi Town say it's you, not to mention the others? "Could it be that these commoners have borrowed courage from the heavens to frame you, the noble Crown Prince Jing?"

"This... "This …"

Yan Qi was so scared that he didn't know what to do.

Who exactly was the one who spread the news regarding the Chen Residence?

That day, he sent people to burn down the Chen Residence. How did the people of Huaxi Town find out about the matter regarding the Chen Residence?

"Royal Uncle, Ming Zha, your nephew is truly innocent. There must be someone framing your nephew. Royal Uncle, you must be well-informed."

Looking at Yan Yuan's frightful expression and seeing his son's frightened expression, Yan Heng could not bear it anymore and said: "Ninth Brother, in the middle of all this, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. Although Qi'er is a little mischievous, her nature is not bad, and Fourth Brother has always been strict with him.

"Fourth brother."

Yan Yuan's voice sank a little. This call of "Fourth Brother" made Yan Heng's heart rise to his throat.

His gaze turned towards Yan Heng, the light in his eyes so sharp that it could pierce into Yan Heng's heart.
