Yan Xi never thought that the door he managed would be forcibly broken into one day.
Ever since he entered Yan's house as a gatekeeper thanks to his cousin Yan's housekeeper, he was the only one who showed off to others, and it was never anyone else's turn to show off to him.
Regardless of whether the person coming to the house is a court official or a learned scholar, everyone must smile at him. Even when King Jing came, he felt that King Jing was quite polite to him.
But today, this group of Shuntian Mansion police officers were so rude. They knocked on the door and rushed in without asking why. Did they take the wrong medicine?
Butler Yan soon appeared in the front yard, pointing at the group of detectives and scolding them. The detectives had a look of fear on their faces. They had rushed in with just one breath. As soon as they entered Yan's house, they were greeted by the huge... The pressure immediately made them a little frightened.
An Qingyue walked forward and raised her hands to Butler Yan: "Butler, Shuntian Mansion does not dare to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion without any reason. We were called by Dali Temple."
Butler Yan was stunned and immediately cursed: "So what about Dali Temple? Although Dali Temple can enter the official residence, doesn't even the Prime Minister's Office take it seriously? Xu Hui, the chief minister of Dali Temple, doesn't dare to be so presumptuous when he comes here!"
"People say that the prime minister's servants are seven-rank officials. It seems that the servants of Yan Shoufu's family are more than seven-rank officials.
When I meet Mr. Xu, I will address you as Mr. Xu. Unexpectedly, I can also address Yan Shoufu's servants by their first names. Such majesty makes people yearn for, feel ashamed, and ashamed. "
Xiao Feng slowly stepped forward from the back of the team, stared at Butler Yan, and spoke calmly, but Butler Yan immediately shut up.
Everyone in the capital knew that Xiao Feng was an eloquent person, and Butler Yan was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would catch him and give him a big hat. Although he is protected by the Prime Minister, it is better not to take risks.
"I heard that Mr. Xiao has been promoted to the Young Minister of Dali Temple, so he can't wait to come to my Yan family to show off his power? Mr. Xiao's style is not high."
Yan Shifan walked out of the middle hall on the right, waving his fan, looking at Xiao Feng with a sneer, and retorted.
Xiao Feng looked at Yan Shifan with cold eyes, but there was a magical smile on his face, and his tone was much more affectionate than when he was talking to the housekeeper.
"Oh, Brother Yan, what a bother. I don't want to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. This is not a happy place, much worse than Chunyan Tower.
However, the emperor's life is on his side and some clues have been found in the investigation. There is no other way but to go to the mansion to investigate in order to clear Yan's mansion. Please forgive me, Brother Yan. "
Jiajing gave Xiao Feng the decree, but did not tell Yan Song. This was inevitable. Otherwise, if Yan Song had prepared in advance, some clues might be destroyed.
Of course, Xiao Feng was not so naive as to believe that even a little bit of news would not leak out. From the day he was ordered to investigate the case, he asked the detectives from Dali Temple and Shuntian Mansion to monitor Yan Mansion day and night.
Earlier, Xiao Feng, with Lu Bing's acquiescence, asked Shen Lian and others to help keep an eye on any changes in the Yan Mansion.
Dali Temple cannot use Jin Yiwei, but Shen Lian and others are just observing and not taking action. No one can accuse them of doing things for Xiao Feng out of thin air.
Therefore, Xiao Feng was confident that after Yan'er escaped from Yan's Mansion and died in front of his own house, no woman had left Yan's Mansion except the two sisters Rouge Hubao. If there are indeed loser girls in Yan's mansion, they will definitely still be in Yan's mansion regardless of life or death.
Yan Shifan sneered and said: "Master Xiao, with his official authority, naturally has the right to search. Although my Yan Mansion is not the Prime Minister's Mansion, there shouldn't be anything special, so please go ahead."
Yan Shifan was so happy that he didn't even ask whether it was an imperial edict, leaving everyone stunned.
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, but at this moment the arrow was on the string and there was absolutely no reason to turn back. He cupped his hands and said: "In that case, thank you Brother Yan for being reasonable!"
The detectives from Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple swarmed in, quickly searched the front hall, and then rushed to the middle hall. They also searched quickly, and then went straight to the back hall, where their real target was.
At this time, Yan Song came back from outside the mansion panting, and brought a large group of officials with him. Yan Shifan stepped forward to greet him with a look of grievance on his face.
"Father, you are now on duty in the cabinet. Why do you want to return to the government?"
Yan Song's face was as cold as ice, and he was trembling with anger as he looked at the people who were searching the house.
"I was meeting with the officials about spring flood relief and other matters. I asked the housekeeper to send someone to report, and then I found out that my house had been ransacked! Why don't you come back and have a look? The officials want to follow, and I don't care about my face anymore."
Among those officials, there are those who are strict with the Party and some who are not. They were all horrified when they heard the news.
The members of the strict party naturally wanted to follow him to see if there was any possibility that his thigh might be broken. Of course, people who are not members of the strict Party also want to see if the time has come for an uprising.
Therefore, since Yan Song did not stop him, everyone followed Yan Song back in a mighty manner in the name of caring.
At this time, Yan Song looked at Xiao Feng standing in the middle of the yard, and his teeth were itching with hatred. However, his status as chief assistant allowed him to remain calm.
"Xiao Feng, the back hall is full of official women. It's not appropriate for you to let people break in and search like this!"
Xiao Feng saluted and said: "Your Excellency, I also know that this is an abrupt move. However, the victim of this murder is the failed young lady who Long Live ordered to investigate strictly. If it is really hiding in the mansion, it must be among the female relatives in the backyard. Please forgive me, sir."
Yan Song gritted his teeth and asked: "Xiao Feng, are you determined to go against me? Do you know what the consequences will be if nothing is found?"
Xiao Feng smiled, but his tone was decisive: "No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them myself."
After saying this, Xiao Feng waved his hand, and An Qingyue led the detectives into the back hall!
Yan Song only had one son, Yan Shifan, and did not live in any branch. But Yan Song only had a wife and no concubines. His wife lived with him in the main room on the left side, not in the backyard. Except for the hut where female maids lived, the backyard was almost occupied by Yan Shifan's wives and concubines.
At this time, the back hall was also alerted. Under the organization of the housekeeper, the women from each house came out one after another, opened the door, and waited for the search.
There were only seven or eight female slaves, who were all Yan Shifan's concubines and had never been seen in public. At this time, they all felt ashamed and angry in front of everyone.
Yan Shifan was the most calm, and he even waved his hand to greet Xiao Feng.
A moment later, An Qingyue walked up to Xiao Feng and whispered: "These women all have concubine betrothal letters, and none of them match the failed draft girls in terms of their names and place of origin."
Xiao Feng nodded and walked to the big room casually.
"Brother Yan, what is this big house for?"
Yan Shifan smiled very calmly: "It was originally a warehouse in the mansion where some large objects were stored. Later, the warehouse was moved to the front and became empty."
Xiao Feng looked up and down the house: "Why are there only windows and no doors?"
Yan Shifan said nonchalantly: "Why is there no way? It's just relatively hidden. The warehouse must be guarded against theft, right?"
Xiao Feng stared at Yan Shifan: "Then can Brother Yan please open the door and let me have a look?"
Yan Shifan's one eye was also staring at Xiao Feng: "Do you have to watch it?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xiao Feng said slowly: "The official is here today and must find out. If Brother Yan blocks it, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate."
Yan Shifan sighed: "Since Mr. Xiao insists on doing this, there is nothing I can do. Tell the truth, the door of this house is here."
Yan Shifan stepped forward and pushed hard against a wall on the house that looked the same, and a door suddenly opened on the wall.
Xiao Feng vaguely felt that something was wrong. Zhang Wuxin said that there was a secret passage in the wall next to the house. Logically speaking, the secret passage should lead to a very secret place. If there was a door in the house itself, then why would there be a secret passage? usefulness?
But at this time, he could no longer think too much. Yan Shifan waved his hand: "My lords, since you are here, please come in."
Everyone followed Yan Shifan into the big house and were surprised to find that the floor was covered with thick blankets, which was not like all empty warehouses.
There are also some very exquisite furniture in the hall. Many of the officials are well-informed people. They can tell what they are used for at a glance and can't help but smile knowingly.
Suddenly a burst of female laughter came out. From the small room next to the hall, a dozen women came out, all of them wearing very revealing clothes. Seeing so many people, they were all panicked. All the officials were also embarrassed, and Xiao Feng's heart suddenly sank. m.
Yan Shifan said nonchalantly: "Everyone is laughing, these are my concubines, just like the ones in the house outside. It is well known that I like things between men and women, but my father's tutoring is very strict and I dare not be arrogant.
These utensils were made by Lu Ban, a famous Huanchang man in the capital, and secretly hidden here. There are some dignified and virtuous people in the concubine's room who come from good families and never enter this house. Most of the people who often have fun with me in this house are redeemed from brothels in various places. "
Yan Shifan talked eloquently and made no secret of his random driving. All the officials couldn't help but were dumbfounded and looked at Yan Song secretly. Yan Song's face turned red and he spat at his son fiercely: "You little beast!"
Yan Shifan took out a stack of redemption deeds and raised them in front of Xiao Feng: "Sir, do you want to check them?"
Xiao Feng looked at these women. They were dressed in light gauze and their faces were flushed. They all seemed to be intoxicated in extreme happiness. They looked at everyone with longing in their eyes.
Xiao Feng could see the sadness and panic deep in their eyes, but he had no way to prove that they were forced. In other words, as long as there are no losers among these women, even if Yan Shifan admits that he abused them, he will not commit any crime in this era.
Xiao Feng knew that he was completely defeated today. He took a deep breath, glanced at the officials who pretended to turn away, but were actually peeking, and turned his head to look at these wanton women.
"If you have any grievances, please tell me now, and I will definitely be able to take you out of the sea of suffering. If you know anyone who has grievances, I can also take you away."
No one made a sound, the women all looked at him, and one of them suddenly cursed loudly: "Shameless stinky man, what are you looking at! Get away!"
The women seemed to have been awakened. They spoke excitedly and cursed Xiao Feng, as if they were competing, competing to show their loyalty.
Xiao Feng looked at them blankly, with no anger in his eyes, only deep pain and helplessness.
Some people died, but not completely...
