"Zhao Da surrendered?"
Jiang Qinian was mixing the tea paste in a leisurely manner, and seemed to be asking casually.
Yan Yu Huanxuan was sitting on the Luohan couch, leaning against the wall with her head lowered and her eyebrows lowered. She was wandering in the sky when she was brought back to her senses by this sentence.
"Huh?" Yan Yuhuan looked up at Jiang Qinian in confusion, and then nodded belatedly.
"Zhao Da and Sun are really pitiful. That Zhao Laozhu favored the second son and allowed the second son to snatch the eldest son's beloved things, which made the eldest son feel resentful, which led to the current situation. Such a partial father makes me... ..” It feels very familiar.
Jiang Qinian had a cold attitude as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't even bother to respond.
Yan Yuhuan turned to glance at Jiang Qinian, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and asked with pride, "Don't you want to know how I learned that the assassin was Zhao Da?"
This question was based on Jiang Qinian's idea.
"If the princess wants to say something, I don't need to ask, the princess will say it."
Jiang Qinian has always been tough-talking. According to Yan Yuhuan's words, even if the sky is falling, Jiang Qinian's mouth is still holding him back.
Yan Yuhuan was too lazy to talk nonsense and boasted happily: "It's a coincidence. I didn't expect it yesterday. As soon as I entered Lutai today, my servants came to report to me that there was a knife mark on the screen. , I went to take a look and found that the knife mark was very inconspicuous. I used the filament on the hairpin to test the depth. It was as deep as the nail of my little finger. The cross section inside was triangular, similar to the flying knife last night. It matches perfectly, I even had someone insert the flying knife into it and try it, and sure enough, it fits perfectly, which proves that the flying knife did not fly in from the flower window at all, but was in the hall!"
Jiang Qinian's eyes widened and he raised his lips and asked, "How can the princess be sure that it was Zhao Da who did it? He was not the only one in the hall last night."
Yan Yuhuan smiled slightly: "Motive."
Jiang Qinian was confused: "What do you mean?"
"Although there is more than one person in the hall, Mr. Zhao, except for the Zhao father and son, we are the only ones here. Yan Qing has joined the Hu Ben Guards since he was a child. He is the son of my uncle, Yan Wuji, the general of the Huben Army. He has a clean background. Zhou Xingyu He is the person I brought from the house. He has nothing to do with the people in Zhuangzi. He is even less likely to know Zhao Laozhu and his son, let alone Chuntao. How can a weak woman with no power to bind a chicken be so accurate? Throwing concealed weapons to crush Zhao Er's tongue? Everyone either has no motive or no ability to commit the crime. Apart from Zhao Da, I really can't think of anyone else."
After Yan Yuhuan finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took a big sip, and continued: "At first, I thought my idea was ridiculous, until I saw Mrs. Sun and learned that she was the assassin, I immediately figured it out. !”
Jiang Qinian asked: "What have you figured out?"
Yan Yu said with a smile: "The day I first came to visit this salt farm, I saw Sun and Zhao Da working together. Zhao Da did all the hard work in Sun's house and even accompanied Sun to entertain me. , His words were full of care and comfort, but he maintained the courtesy of a gentleman and never exceeded the rules."
"Jiang Qinian, do you know what is the most hidden thing in this world?"
Jiang Qinian replied calmly: "Cough and poverty."
"No." Yan Yuhuan shook her head, put down the tea cup and said, "It's love. It's love that will flow out of her eyes even if she covers her mouth."
Jiang Qinian remained silent, only looking at Yan Yu's happy smile. What was revealed in his eyes at this moment was love that he had never noticed.
The Yanzhuang case came to an end, and Yan Yuhuan lowered the rents of the tenants back to the normal rent.
It also stated that until official salt sales license documents are issued, rent will be free of charge.
The box of IOUs in Zhao's second room was also burned down by Yan Yuhuan. The tenants who had borrowed loan sharks finally took a breather and sent eggs, melons and fruits to thank Yan Yuhuan.
After Zhuang Yan successfully took over Zhuangzi, Yan Yuhuan left Yanzhuang with Hu Benwei and Sun Shi.
As soon as he returned to Yan's house, Yan Yunyi came to visit with loud thunder and small raindrops. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a sad and exciting voice: "My son!"
Yan Yuhuan blocked her ears and took a deep breath. When Yan Yunyi came over, before she could speak, she was pulled up and spun around in a big circle.
"Let me take a good look at my son. Is my son injured? I heard that there was a murder case in Zhuangzi. Please don't hurt my son!"
As Yan Yunyi spoke, tears were about to well up.
Yan Yuhuan quickly grabbed Yan Yunyi's hand and said, "Mom, aren't I standing here properly? Look at how I look injured..."
Yan Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief, took Yan Yuhuan and sat down, and asked carefully: "What happened? When Yan Qing came back to report, he didn't explain the matter clearly. You are so scared to death."
Yan Yuhuan carefully told Yan Yunyi what had happened in the village in the past few days. Yan Yunyi said regretfully: "It's a pity. The tenants in this village are all good people. If I hadn't known people well, they wouldn't have You don’t have to suffer this.”
Yan Yuhuan said with a serious look: "Mother, this matter is not your fault, but you do not know the people well. The relationships between Zhuangzi and the people in the mansion are intertwined. Many of the people in charge rely on their connections in the mansion to bully the tenants and enrich their own pockets. , to be able to even commit such a major crime as selling illegal salt, which would punish the Nine Tribes, shows that its roots are not in the Salt Village, but in the Yan Mansion."
Hearing this, Yan Yunyi looked moved and said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to clean up the Yan Mansion for my mother's sake, but those old people followed my mother in the General's Mansion, and later they married into the East Palace with my mother. They have no merit. Hard work, without hard work there is still love, and besides, if my Yan family hadn't helped him Li Zheng seize the throne, would he have moved into the East Palace and become the emperor?"
Yan Yuhuan was about to say, "Mother..." but was interrupted again.
"Not to mention that Li Zheng is unworthy of our mother and daughter, I just want to say that our Yan family has sacrificed many lives for him. If it weren't for my eldest brother and third brother during the Xuanwu Sect incident, he would have died long ago. In his hands, he had said so eloquently that the Yan family had served the dragon well and was Li Zheng's benefactor. Even if we really committed some serious crime, he would not dare to do anything to the Yan family."
Yan Yuhuan knew that Yan Yunyi had never let go of this, but there were some things that had to be said.
Yan Yuhuan said bluntly: "Mom, if you try to repay a favor, the favor will turn into resentment. Yes, the Yan family is kind to the Holy One, and the Holy One should repay you. But over the years, the Yan family has been favored in the court and has great power. My uncle is a military commander." He holds an army of 800,000 tigers and soldiers, and can still go to court with a sword. Officials below the second rank do not have to dismount their horses to pay tribute when they meet on the road. Everywhere they go, they are cheap. My grandfather was even granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and he is in charge of the central government. He is said to be arrogant. Yes, everyone in the world is going to be named Yan. The Lord has long repaid all the kindness I owed you. He only failed you and has been indulging us. But mother, relying on this feeling of guilt towards you, How long can we, mother and daughter, rely on each other?"
