"Of course it was told to this king by your Prince Sang Ji?"
"What?" Have you seen the second prince? "
The Turkic's eyes became complicated and panicked.
"Not only has this duke seen the Second Prince, I also know the purpose of why the few of you have come to the Easternum."
Yan Yuan retracted the extremely gentle look on his face, and his eyes instantly shone with a sharp light.
"As for the matter in your court, this king will not interfere. However, if you want to kill someone within my Easternum, this king cannot sit idly by and do nothing."
Of course they understood the meaning behind Yan Yuan's words, they instantly felt that something was amiss, but it was already too late to escape.
"Someone, come."
Following the order, a group of yamen constables rushed in from the outside, "Your Highness."
"Arrest these Turkic people who have come to the Easternum to wreak havoc."
Those officers were stunned for a moment as they looked at the few people dressed in the Central Plains attire with astonishment. After being surprised for a long time, they finally regained their wits, "Yes, Your Highness."
Very quickly, those few people became prisoners, but they still did not give up and struggled to their deaths: "Prince Jing, since you know this is a matter of our lives, why are you making things difficult for us, why do you have to ruin our relationship with Prince Sang Luo because of such a small matter."
Yan Yuan's eyes looked at them quietly, and then he smiled: "You guys may be mistaken, this duke and Prince Sang Luo have never been on good terms before, how can I break it?"
As his voice faded, his gaze swept across the constables in front of him and said, "Drag him away and throw him into jail."
"Yes."
After dealing with the few Turkmen, Yan Yuan summoned Zhuang Qing again, and said: "County Magistrate Zhuang, those Turkmen, I will leave them to you. As for your previous mistakes, this king will give you a chance, if you screw up again, don't be an official."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness."
Zhuang Qing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After passing down the orders to Zhuang Qing, Yan Yuan finally left the county magistrate area, and went to the inn to see Yan Heng and his son.
"Fourth brother."
"Ninth brother, you're back."
Seeing that Yan Yuan's expression was a little less severe than usual, compared to when he usually met, Yan Heng's apprehension also decreased by a little.
"Ninth Brother, how's the investigation going this time?"
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother, the murderer has been found out. It has nothing to do with the people's rumored evil spirits."
"Really?"
Yan Heng's eyes instantly lit up, and at the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He was just a son. If he was really done for by Ol 'Nine, he really wouldn't know what to do in the future.
"Yes, this matter is a long story. In short, the case is already over, so there's no need to worry about Fourth Brother and Qi'er."
Yan Yuan said calmly, "Previously, Fourth Brother said that Fourth Sister would not be able to let Qi'er go. Since so many days have passed, I guess you must be very anxious.
Yan Heng and Yan Qi's eyes lit up. Immediately, they heard Yan Heng say: "That's great, that's great! Your Fourth Sister-in-Law has urged me several times in the past few days. If you're really anxious, then Fourth Brother and Qi'er will head back to the Grand Dominance Manor first. If there's a chance in the future, let's drink a cup together."
"Alright."
That afternoon, Yan Heng left Huaxi Town with Yan Qi.
"What?" The Chen family's case hasn't even been investigated yet, how did you let them go? "
When Liu Ruo Qing heard from her mouth that she had let Yan Qi go, he was instantly annoyed.
Yan Yuan was not anxious, he looked at her and smiled: "Do you think that if we leave them here, things will go smoothly?"
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, looked at Yan Yuan's profound smile, and immediately understood.
"You mean, let them go, let them think the case is over, let them relax their vigilance, we have more time and space to deal with the Chen family?"
Yan Yuan nodded his head, as a look of admiration appeared in his eyes, "That's right. Right now, Chen Gongzi's injuries have yet to recover, if we keep Yan Qi here, Fourth Brother would definitely be suspicious."
He looked at Liu Ruo Qing and explained: "Fourth brother, you have to put a lot of thought into this. Back then, in order to compete for the throne with royal brother, you put a lot of effort into this. When big brother ascended the throne, he very quietly guarded his own territory.
"If I had kept Yan Qi here all this time, he would probably think that I was waiting for an opportunity. Or perhaps, after some thought, he also thought that the Chen Family might still be alive. The Huaxi Town belongs to the Grand Dominance Manor, which is his territory. It is not difficult for him to send people to find the people from the Chen family who are still alive. "
Hearing Yan Yuan's words, Liu Ruo Qing finally understood.
"That's right, if Chen Gongzi wants to recover from his injuries, it will at least take a period of time. It is not a good idea to keep them here."
Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan and praised, "You are the one who thinks the most deeply."
Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows, he had been complimented by many people before, and the amount of flattery he heard was countless, but it couldn't compare to a simple compliment like what Liu Ruo Qing had said.
He was in a very good mood, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
"Since I'm so good, can you give me some rewards?"
"Reward?"
Liu Ruo Qing was stunned. Facing Yan Yuan's enlarged handsome face and his clear eyes, which reflected his own reflection in them, Liu Ruo Qing's ears suddenly burned.
Yan Yuan's finger lightly pressed on her lips, like a child asking for candy, "Just kiss me once."
Liu Ruo Qing glared at him, and pushed him away from her with one hand, "Who said I was praising you?
"Isn't that a compliment?"
"Tsk, a scheming man is too dangerous, I won't accompany him."
"…"
After Yan Heng left the Huaxi Town, in the following days, Liu Ruo Qing secretly paid attention to Liu Qian Xun's traces as he treated his illness.
After a period of treatment, Chen Gongzi's injuries had obviously improved. On this day, he could slowly get up and walk.
"Husband, be careful."
Lu Wan supported Chen Gongzi up, and bowed in front of Liu Ruo Qing, "Chen Xuan thanks Miss for saving my life."
Liu Ruo Qing smiled back, "Chen Gongzi is too polite."
Her gaze landed on the couple as she continued, "I'm sure both of you have been very curious about this little girl's identity the entire time."
Her face was still covered. For the past half month, she had never looked at the couple, but her eyes were exceptionally bright and sincere.
"Truth be told, we are indeed very curious. Merely, it is inconvenient for a lady to speak of it, and it is inconvenient for us to ask one another about it."
"Very soon, everyone will know my identity. Right now, it is still inconvenient for me to reveal it, but …"
