Xie Xun is a very active person.
Come out from among the water and clouds.
After asking Wen Baolin to send them back to Xu Guogong's mansion according to Xu Zan's instructions, he immediately asked Xu Zan to arrange for someone to follow him to his house.
Regarding Wen Baolin's relationship with Xu Zan in Yanchun Tower today, whether it was the general or Song Fu's grandfather Song Shizhong, as long as he paid attention to Yanchun Tower, he would receive the news. As long as they pay attention, they will definitely know the news that people from Duke Xu's mansion sent Wen Baolin home.
No matter what method Song Shizhong used to sit in the position of Taipusi Shaoqing, being able to sit firmly for so many years means that he is a smart man.
Since you are a smart person, you will not act rashly.
Xie Xun is the minister of Dali Temple. All he needs to do to transfer Wen Baolin and his father to Dali Temple is a simple sentence.
But he didn't do that.
On the premise of ensuring the safety of Wen Baolin and his family, he needed to stimulate people related to the disappearance of boys and girls through Wen Baolin's contact with Xu Zan or him.
Too many words lead to mistakes, too many actions lead to mistakes.
Whether it was their previous investigation or Wen Baolin's secret investigation, although they were all referring to Hepingfang, they still knew nothing about the Colosseum in Hepingfang.
In order to get the internal situation, it is necessary to divide it into parts.
So after settling Wen Baolin, Xie Xun immediately returned to Dali Temple and suddenly interrogated the shopkeeper of Yanchun Tower overnight.
Chen Anning also wanted to return to the Chen family, but was surrounded by Xu Zan's aunt, mother and aunt. With no outsiders present, the three people's curiosity about her turned into a passion. It was not until midnight that they reluctantly let her go when they couldn't keep her anymore.
In the blink of an eye, three days flew by.
In the past three days, Xie Xun did not come to Chen's house.
Chen Anning could only understand the progress of the case through Xu Zan and his guards who raided Yanchun Tower and searched the neighborhood where boys and girls had gone missing, as well as gangsters and beggars who poured into Hepingfang in large numbers, causing Hepingfang to flourish again. The news was exposed and attracted many young men, ladies or business travelers to come to see the strange news and join in the fun. I guess one or two.
It's time to give the eldest princess acupuncture again.
Chen Anning didn't even eat breakfast, so she set off in a carriage.
So much so that Qiu, who had been fighting wits and courage with Mrs. Chen and Chen Fanghai every day in recent days, and successfully took control of the Chen family's back house, came to report the results and wanted to take the opportunity to ask for rewards, but all in vain.
When Chen Anning arrived at the eldest princess's residence, the eldest princess had just finished breakfast and was sitting on the soft couch, chatting with Princess Tongchang and Wen Qinsang, who had come last night.
When the maid announced her arrival, everyone was stunned for a moment.
After asking Nanny Li to rush to the second gate to greet her, the eldest princess and Princess Tongchang looked at Wen Qinsang at the same time.
After the eldest princess learned of the news that the emperor had granted marriage to Xie Xun and Chen Anning, she immediately sent someone to the Imperial College to tell him.
Wen Qinsang didn't look strange. Facing the two people's concerned eyes, he smiled gently and said, "I do have some affection for Miss Chen Er, but my relationship with her has always been just a friend. There is no gift from the emperor." I will try my best to get married. If the emperor grants marriage, it would be good to continue to be friends. The reason I came here this time is not to inquire about the reason why she was granted marriage, but to determine whether their marriage grant will affect the eldest princess' mansion. "
"It's because of me," the eldest princess's expression showed a hint of gloominess, "Yaowang Valley has been destroyed for many years, and even though she is a disciple of Liu Xiuzhu and Yin Xiruo, she is alone and weak. Coupled with the various misfortunes of the Chen family, I imagine that no matter how dissatisfied the palace is with the eldest princess's mansion, they should not be suspicious of me because I look at her differently."
He raised his lips mockingly, "I underestimated his intention to get rid of me."
Princess Tongchang glanced coldly at the maids and maids in the room, and when she saw that they were all confidants, she relaxed her vigilance.
Wen Qinsang also glanced at the aunts and maids in the room, and said slowly: "Auntie did not underestimate the hidden dangers in the eldest princess's mansion, but underestimated Miss Chen Er."
"After Miss Chen Er returned to the capital, she kept tolerating the beatings, scoldings and humiliations of everyone in the Chen family. It can be inferred that she is not an ordinary person."
Princess Tongchang said with great interest: "You mean, when she was plotted by Chen Ziling, she was also plotting against Chen Ziling?"
Wen Qinsang shook his head, "I don't know. But whether it is true or not, it is not a bad thing that her aunt looks at her differently. In fact, it is a good thing that exceeds expectations."
Princess Tongchang said with undiminished interest: "How do you say that?"
Wen Qinsang stood up and walked to the window, looked in the direction of the gate of Qifeng Courtyard, and said in a low and slow voice: "The emperor granted her a marriage to Lord Xie. If my aunt befriends her, it means she has made friends with Lord Xie. Lord Xie Behind the scenes is the Guangling Palace, and the Guangling Palace is the person most trusted by the Emperor in the Wei Dynasty!"
The eldest princess and Princess Tongchang sat upright at the same time and looked at each other at the same time.
Turning around and looking at the two of them, Wen Qinsang spoke again, "The rumors on the streets earlier that Miss Chen was trying to please Sir Xie and even asked Sir Xie to meet at a certain time were all spread by Mr.
"Judging from Mr. Xie's past investigation style, he often seeks results, not only ignoring Wei's laws and orders, but also using any means necessary."
"Then it's self-evident that he deliberately let people spread rumors about damaging Miss Chen Er's reputation, including the marriage granted by the emperor."
"Combined with the fact that he has been investigating the cases of boys and girls in the past two or three months, but there has been no progress. After those rumors spread, he moved into the Chen family openly, and soon Miss Chen Er joined him in investigating the case. Things will become more clear at a glance.”
Princess Tongchang said thoughtfully: "According to your analysis, not only Chen Ziling is the one being plotted, but also Mr. Xie."
"Using Chen Ziling's plan to show off my talents to lure the Lord, what a clever plan!"
"The most shocking thing is that when she was scheming against them, she was able to take advantage of the scheme to treat her mother's head ailment, thus leaving a way out for herself!"
Wen Qinsang curled his lips slightly, but did not deny her speculation.
"If this is really the case," the eldest princess said, "then the good relationship between the eldest princess's mansion and her will not be enough."
"Don't be too deliberate," Wen Qinsang reminded, "As long as you are sincere when dealing with her, don't hide anything, and pay regardless of gains and losses, she is not an ungrateful person."
Princess Tongchang joked: "How does my cousin know that she is not an ungrateful person?"
"Didn't you say that she treated her aunt's head ailment to leave a way out for herself?" Wen Qinsang said, "Now that she has left no stone unturned, she has successfully lured Mr. Xie into taking the bait. There is no need to leave a way out, but she Still coming.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around as if feeling something, looked in the direction of the gate of Qifeng Courtyard, and said softly: "She's here."
Chen Anning, who followed Grandma Li into Qifeng Courtyard, also raised her eyes and looked over as if she was feeling something.
