The soldiers guarding the gate looked at each other, and one of them said, "Who is your husband?"
"Chu Yan!" Su Liuye said quickly, "He is a hunter from Zhoujia Village. He was the one who brought General Qin here to see the hot springs."
"Chu Yan?"
The man frowned and said quickly, "I don't know him. There is no such person here. Are you looking in the wrong place?"
"No! He, he seemed to have gone out with General Qin yesterday, to the dental shop in the county town!"
"Ya Xing?" Hearing this, the soldier frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Madam, there really is no one you are looking for in the general's residence. Our general did not go out yesterday. Did you make a mistake? "
"How could it be?!" Qin Lian immediately stepped forward and said, "Brothers, I went to Yahang this morning to inquire, and they all said that there were indeed soldiers passing by last night, and General Qin was the only one in the area near here! "
Another soldier was a little impatient, "I said no, no, why do you keep asking? If your husband is really in the general's mansion, why didn't we tell you."
"but--"
"Okay, Lianlian, maybe we made a mistake."
Su Liuye pulled Qin Lian away and stopped under the tree on the roadside.
Qin Lian was a little puzzled, "A Liu, why did you leave? Those two elder brothers may not know where Brother Chu is. If we ask a few more questions, maybe we can find out."
Su Liuye shook his head, "There are so many people in the General's Mansion, I guess they really don't know. This is the General's Mansion after all, and we can't keep asking."
"That's right." Qin Lian sighed.
Qin Shiming is a famous general in the Great Xia Kingdom, and their status is not ordinary. They are just ordinary people. If they make trouble in front of the general's mansion, they will be arrested.
"Then where are we going to find Brother Chu now?" Qin Lian asked, "Aliu, do you know where Brother Chu usually goes and who he meets?"
"this……"
Su Liuye was in a dilemma. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out where Chu Yan had gone.
She knew so little about Chu Yan that she didn't even know where his ancestral home was.
"Could it be that you went to the Yamen?" Qin Lian thought, "I remember that when Brother Chu went out yesterday, you were still resting in the room. Brother Chu probably went out to find out who poisoned the well... ...I think Brother Chu also knows Gao Zhifu of the Yamen."
"yes!"
Su Liuye also suddenly remembered this matter. The last time she was imprisoned, it was Chu Yan who brought Gao Zhifu to rescue her.
Chu Yan might have gone to the Yamen.
"A Liu, let me rest for a while before going back. At this hour, the sun is too strong."
Qin Lian covered her head with her sleeves, and the dazzling sunlight was scorching.
Su Liuye looked up and said, "Okay, let's go back first. I haven't been back for a long time."
The two returned to their original house. Since they hadn't been back for a long time, they opened the door and the dust and smoke inside floated out. Su Liuye choked and sneezed several times in a row.
"A Liu, let me go get some water and wipe it off. There's too much dust inside."
Qin Lian said while coughing.
"OK."
Su Liuye covered her nose with her hands, took a bucket and rag from the kitchen, and cleaned the house with Qin Lian.
While cleaning the room, she unexpectedly found a piece of finely crafted iron from under the wardrobe. It looked like it had fallen off from something.
Su Liuye looked through it in confusion. In his impression, they didn't seem to have such a thing.
The iron piece was left at the bottom of the closet. Maybe it got here accidentally and was never found.
She wiped the patch with a rag and discovered that there seemed to be a word engraved on it. But what was on the patch was only part of it, and Su Liuye couldn't see anything.
She searched all over the closet, but didn't find the second piece of iron. Thinking that Chu Yan might have picked it up by accident, she brought the patch back and put it in the closet.
The two simply wiped away the dust, found a clean place to sit down, and took out the buns they took away from Shi Feng to eat as lunch.
The buns were made by Shi Feng this morning. They were made with fresh ingredients. When you bite into them, they are full of meat juice and so fragrant that your tongue almost falls off.
Su Liuye ate four in one breath. Seeing that it was almost time, they rested for a while and then set off back to the county town and went straight to the Yamen.
The yamen guarding the yamen knew that she was the shopkeeper of Cyclamen, and without Su Liuye having to say anything, he took her directly to the study in the backyard.
Master Xie is compiling the transcripts here.
Seeing her and Qin Lian coming, Xie Nanxiao smiled and came forward, "Shopkeeper Su, Miss Qin, you are here today for Wu Xiang, right?"
"Master Xie is really smart." Su Liuye stopped being polite and said, "Besides this matter, I have another thing I want to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Master Xie was surprised.
"I wonder if Master Xie has seen my husband?" Su Liuye asked, "My husband has not come back since he went out yesterday. I guessed that he would come to the Yamen to ask Master about poisoning the well, so I came over to ask. asked."
"I see."
Master Xie laughed and said, "We are indeed here, and we went to investigate with Capt. Yan. It's just that there was a fire at Yahang this morning for some unknown reason, and there was a large amount of explosives hidden inside. Capt. Yan was delayed when he wanted to check it out. Some time. At this time, they are out of the city gate and have to find out where the heartbroken grass comes from. This is very crucial evidence."
"That's it."
Hearing Xie Nanxiao's answer, Su Liuye breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Chu Yan had gone somewhere.
"It's estimated that it will take them two days to come back." Master Xie added, "Brother Chu Yan should have told you before he went out, but I'm afraid Shopkeeper Su is still resting and didn't hear it."
After hearing these words, Su Liuye recalled it carefully.
She was still thinking about waiting for Chu Yan to come back last night, but she didn't see anyone until she fell asleep. Thinking about it this way, Chu Yan should have come back after she fell asleep, right?
After being poisoned, she slept very deeply. Even if Chu Yan came back, she might not be able to hear him.
"Excuse me, Master, for informing me." She thanked her and then asked, "Master, I wonder if Wu Xiang has told me anything?"
"some."
Speaking of this, Xie Nanxiao's expression became serious, and he took them to the desk and showed them the newly compiled transcripts, "Please take a look at Su Zhangui, these are all said by Wu Xiang himself."
"According to her, because her parents died suddenly, she wanted to give herself a man who could be trusted by everyone. At this time, you brought Brother Chu Yan to her home to help deal with the Wu family's affairs. She felt that Brother Chu Yan He is a reliable person, but he has evil thoughts."
Hearing this, Qin Lian cursed, "What a white-eyed wolf!"
