Yanchen Alley, as the name suggests, is a place for men to have fun, but it is not just a shop, but the entire alley is like this.
"Yanchen Lane..." Lin Qingwan murmured and repeated. She looked back and asked, "Is the situation urgent?"
Chang'an didn't say anything, but nodded very seriously. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qingwan took out a medicine bottle from his body and threw it to Qingli, "You take it first and let the lady just give it to her son. I will come over when I am free. "
After saying this, he followed Chang An directly into the carriage. The carriage started running wildly, and within a quarter of an hour, it stopped steadily at the door of the palace.
Lin Qingwan jumped out of the car in a hurry, ignoring the embarrassment with Xuan Qianchen, and ran directly to his yard.
The man was sitting at his desk reading some official documents, but he was brought back to consciousness by a woman's howl.
"Xuan Qianchen!" He raised his head and saw Lin Qingwan approaching him panting.
Xuan Qianchen stood up from the soft cushion next to the desk. He knew why Lin Qingwan was in such a hurry, so he took out a list from his body, "The capital was poisoned by people from outside the country. This place is likely to be the source of the poison. "
Lin Qingwan walked to the man's side and took the list.
They are all women’s names…
But yes, if you want to poison or let the poison spread, only this kind of place can best confuse the public.
"I want you to come back because I want you to analyze the ingredients of the poison. I'm going to send someone to check it out immediately." Xuan Qianchen copied a few parts of the list and handed it to several guards headed by Qingfeng.
"First send someone to explore the truth. If this is just a lure to lure us over, it would be better to know in advance."
Hearing the man's words, Lin Qingwan slowly exhaled, nodded and sat down.
…………
Yanchen Lane.
Qingfeng dressed up as an ordinary guest and went in with a few guards in casual clothes.
This street is full of red and green, and scantily clad women stand at their doorways, posing and ogling at the men outside.
Several women wanted to come up and pester Qingfeng, but were frightened back by his eyes.
The group finally stopped in front of the last door, and a woman in her thirties or forties came out. She immediately became happy when she saw the person coming.
"A few..."
"Call these women out to me."
Qingfeng walked directly into the door and took out a list of names from his sleeve, and the madam suddenly became alert, "Who are you? We are not accepting guests here today, please come back." "
Upon hearing this, the man pulled out a long sword from his waist and placed it on the Madam's neck. The woman obviously knew some martial arts and subconsciously wanted to struggle.
But Qingfeng's movements were faster, and in just three or two strokes, she directly severed her veins, and the woman collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.
"Who else are you in the capital?" Qingfeng pinched her mouth again to prevent her from committing suicide suddenly, but the madam was very tight-lipped and refused to say anything.
"Kill me if you dare!" The woman shouted, but Qingfeng sneered and chopped off her head.
Naturally, none of the women on the list was spared.
He ordered people to search around the house and found out the names of some pharmacies and food stores. He then took people there, but the group was very tight-lipped. Finally, he found a jade pendant at the last pharmacies.
Qingfeng sent the jade pendant back to the palace. Xuan Qianchen looked at the thing and frowned subconsciously.
"This is……"
"Do you know him?" Lin Qingwan snatched the things over and looked at them carefully.
"This is something belonging to officials in the DPRK and China."
The ministers in the court, regardless of their official rank, will have their own jade pendants and seals. This jade pendant is made of special rough stones and has different patterns engraved on it.
Lin Qingwan began to examine it carefully, and finally found an extremely small word on the right side of the jade pendant.
"Look! What is this?" She suddenly shouted, and Xuan Qianchen came over. On the inner wall on the right side of the jade pendant, there was a tiny word "Chen" engraved on it.
"Chen?" Lin Qingwan suddenly raised his head. There were not many officials named Chen in the court, it could even be said to be very few.
Xuan Qianchen's expression was equally serious. He was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"There is only one person who can control all the shops in the capital."
"who is it?"
"Chen Jin."
Chen Jin, a fourth-rank official in the court, is responsible for the tax affairs in the capital.
"Let's go, I want to see what this person wants to do!"
Lin Qingwan had heard about this person, but didn't know much about him. Seeing Xuan Qianchen's serious expression, she slapped the table and stood up.
As a high-ranking official in the court, he takes the food and salary from the court, but introduces the poison from the outside world. Those people are innocent!
"No."
Xuan Qianchen grabbed the woman and dragged her back a step.
"Poisoning is not a trivial matter, not to mention that this is poison from an outside world. If we deal with it privately, it will only arouse others' suspicion."
The Emperor's suspicions were already high, and letting Lin Qingwan monitor Xuan Qianchen already showed that.
"What should we do?" Lin Qingwan stopped.
Now that this matter has not been investigated clearly, is it possible to report it directly to the old emperor?
"We only have to hand this matter over to the emperor. As for the final outcome, it is not up to us to decide."
A gust of cool wind blew by, and Lin Qingwan's body trembled subconsciously. For some reason, there was some inexplicable illusion in her heart, "Let's go."
Xuan Qianchen glanced sideways and walked out the door with Lin Qingwan.
…………
Xuan Qianchen directly reported Chen Jin's collusion with foreign organizations, and the emperor was of course furious. Unexpectedly, he did not send anyone to investigate the matter, but directly ordered Chen Jin to be implicated in the nine clans.
King Zhan's investigation was successful and he was sent by the emperor to arrest the Chen family and bring them to justice.
The street in the capital where the most important ministers of the court lived was now deserted. Houses one after another had their doors closed, and twenty or thirty guards in silver, headed by Xuan Qianchen, were walking calmly through them.
A plaque with the word "Chen" engraved on it was casually discarded on the ground aside. There were two seals crisscrossed on the black door.
"Open." Xuan Qianchen's face was stern, and he gestured to a silver-clad guard behind him, and the door that was locked from the outside was roughly opened.
The plaque was trampled to pieces by the guards, the yard was in a mess, unknown fragments were scattered on the ground, and the beautiful cloth was stepped on one after another with footprints.
Several little maids who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old hugged each other and shivered, covering their mouths to hold back from crying.
Lin Qingwan, who was standing next to Xuan Qianchen, couldn't bear it. She subconsciously took a step back, but Xuan Qianchen seemed to be aware of Lin Qingwan's thoughts. He turned slightly to the right, blocking the woman's view.
