Chapter 159
After leaving the hall, Xie Fu and the officials of the county yard crossed the threshold and felt their legs stiff. The bright sunlight outside the corridor was very dazzling, and they went down the steps. They stood in the sky, as if they suddenly woke up from a dream in the dark night.
Everyone was walking slowly outside the hall, trying to say something, but they didn't say anything.
Suddenly, a small yamen runs over and presents a post with Xie Fu. Xie Fu opens it, and sees a cloud character at the signature, and immediately closes the post: "Where is the person?"
The young yamen runner said, "It's already in the guest wing. He said he would like to see the prefect. The young people replied that the prefect was not in the yamen, so they said he would like to see the prefect."
Xie Fu nodded and immediately took the letter to the back hall.
Wang Yan was closing the door and talking in the hall, and the followers were all retreating. Xie Fu reported to enter and submitted a post. Wang Yan took it and opened it: "The boy from the Yun family is here, I'm really rushing to join in the fun. Just said Peizhi, you go to bed for a while, but things have come back."
Zhang Ping bowed and said, "Please take your leave first."
Wang Yan waved his hand: "People still need to be prepared for a while, just in time, you can go there together. The Yun family is indeed a suspect at the moment. The old Feng handled the case, and the headquarters and Peizhi met the Yun family first. Don't be suspicious about what we talked about and hide from him."
Zhang Ping received the order and went to the side wing with Wang Yanlanjue. Wang Yan and Lanjue saw two men dressed in house standing outside the door of the wing, and their eyebrows jumped slightly.
The two servants pushed open the door. The three of them entered, and Wang Yan and Lan Jue saluted the head.
Zhang Ping also bowed down with him.
King Huai, who was sitting upright in the seat, said: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Lan, please calm down. I am worried about my nephew. Come here with you. Don't bother me."
Wang Yan bowed: "I don't know that Your Highness Huai has arrived and has not welcomed him. I pray for forgiveness."
King Huai said in a gentle voice: "During the official duties of the King, I was disturbed by my own private affairs. It turned out that I was sorry for the words." He looked at Lan Jue again, "I met Mr. Lan before, but I only had a few days apart. You have lost so much, and looked so haggard. I thought I had not eaten and slept well in the past few days. I believe that Feng Qing will definitely bring the two children back safely, so Lan Qing will relax."
Lan Jue bowed again: "I am negligent in my duties, which led to the disappearance of His Highness King Dai, and I will be blamed for his death. His Highness King Huai is still sympathetic, and I am ashamed to repent and wish I could not be crushed to pieces."
King Huai stood up and helped him: "Lan Qing's words are too serious. How can you blame Qi Tan for your business? Come on, sit down and talk. The Minister of the King will sit together."
Lan Jue and Wang Yanxie sat down, and Yun Yufang, who had been standing beside him, stepped forward to greet them.
"My father is in charge of his health, so he sent me to come and let the Lord interrogate him."
Wang Yan smiled slightly: "The words are serious. Feng Tai is investigating this case. There may indeed be a clue overlap with the case in my hand, but it cannot be counted as one. Who assassinated the blame on the Taifu is still unknown."
Yun Yu immediately said: "Before the case was clear, my father and the rest of my mansion were suspected. My father had asked the emperor for the imperial edict to be in the mansion. Yun Yu also came to surrender this time and prevented the two adults from being arrested again. The adults could immediately interrogate, or detain Yun Yu in jail first."
Wang Yan laughed and said, "This is even more serious. The prison of Fengle County is not under my jurisdiction. If you are taken, I will be asked about the crime of overreaching power first. It is said that Feng Tai should come back soon. Perhaps His Highness Qi Tan and Lord Lan's son have been found, and the case has also been revealed. Some clues found by the head office and this county magistrate Zhang are related to the novel. When Lord Feng comes back, the clues may be closed once they are closed."
King Huai nodded, as if he had noticed that there was still a screen kneeling on the ground: "Oh, I have neglected you, let's just keep you calm."
Zhang Ping thanked him, stood up silently, and stood to the side.
Yun Yu smiled and said to Wang Yan: "Then I won't make any trouble for Lord Wang, and wait for Lord Feng to come back."
King Huai looked at him: "You just sit down and talk first, just like following the court. Gu came here for no reason and was even more difficult to stay." Then he turned to Wang Yan and Lan Jue and said, "Gu wanted to come over after hearing about Qi Tan, and happened to meet him. Today he came over and wanted to ask about Qi Tan's news, so he walked with him. If you want to talk about official business, don't worry about me. If you need me to avoid me, just say that."
Yun Yu smiled and said, "Your Highness is what I am trying to not stay here. I am so sad that I cannot sit down and stand by myself waiting for the orders."
King Huai raised his lips: "Don't be polite to all the ministers. You should sit down and talk, don't talk about everything."
Lan Jue and Wang Yan responded with a few words. Yun Yu sat down at the lower head, but Zhang Ping was still standing. He happened to stand beside a bunch of bonsai. The green leaves and the official robe on his body were all green, as if they were natural in the same place, which was easy to ignore. Yun Yu had never cared about him, and King Huai did not look at him again, but said to Wang Yan: "Wang Qing just said that the assassin is a foreigner?"
Wang Yan said: "I cannot report to a conclusion, but I should never leave it." Then he looked at Yun Yu, "What kind of people can Master Taifu have had grudges with?"
Yun Yu frowned: "My father never talks about court affairs with his family. He has no foreigners in the mansion. The affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple should not be under the jurisdiction of his father."
King Huai raised his hand: "Isn't the one who has a grudge with the monk? Isn't that Tachi Country causing trouble? I heard that Qi Tan's investigation of Prince Bu's disagreement with his brother. But no matter who they fight in the internal battle, in our opinion, they are all made by Tachi Country, so they won't be so confused."
Wang Yan said: "I guessed that the assassin framed the tutor Yun. These thieves only wanted the court to think that His Highness Qi Tan would be assassinated on the road because of his punishment. By the way, he framed the tutor Liangzhu of our dynasty, which was a big hit."
Zhang Ping looked at Wang Yan and blinked.
King Huai said, "There are so many intestines that are not as good as the Tao."
Wang Yan was serious: "These are just my inferences and the case has not been decided yet. So the minister just now wants to ask if Taifu Yun has any grudges with the foreign country."
King Huai nodded: "Mr. Wang is cautious in his investigation and does not let a single trace of it go. I am a person who does not know how to investigate the case. I will benefit a lot from what you say."
Wang Yan immediately said: "I can't praise you for this, I'm afraid."
King Huai turned to Yun Yu and said, "So, please come back and ask the tutor. If these guys do other tricks behind the ground, check it carefully and prevent him from being covered with hidden arrows."
Lan Jue looked at his expression looking at Yun Yu, and couldn't help but think, if Yun Yu was not the son of Grand Tutor Yun, he would really think...
He laughed in his heart that he was bored, and Yun Yu stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness and Lord Wang, so I immediately sent someone to return home to send a message."
King Huai said: "There is no rush at this moment. You can sit down first and finish your words before you finish your work."
Yun Yu said, "Thank you for your kindness." He sat back on the chair. King Huai looked at him and smiled, then turned around and talked to Wang Yan again. Lan Jue looked away, and somehow, his heart suddenly felt a few months ago after Liu Zhihui's case. King Huai was watching Yun Tang in the imperial garden.
Somewhere in his heart he couldn't help but move. Before he could catch it, there was a noise outside the door. Wang Yan stood up and said, "It might be that Lao Feng is back."
Zhang Ping bowed and said, "Go and have a look." He hurried out and the little yamen runner in the corridor reported that it was the prefect who came back and even took the criminal.
Wang Yan strode out of the threshold: "Has anyone found it?!"
The little yamen runner carefully glanced at Lan Jue behind him: "When I say that, the young one was just hearing the news coming from the front, and I didn't know the details."
Lan Jue's whole body was completely empty.
Wang Yan held his shoulder and said, "Let's go over and take a look."
A woman's shrill shouting sounded in the front yard.
"You sinners, if the sacrifice is not completed, disaster will come. You will all die! All will all die!!!"
Amaranth pounced on the ground and wanted to grab Feng Tai's robe, but was dragged away by the guards.
Wang Yan and Lan Jue strode toward each other. Wang Yan frowned and looked at Huang Zhiniang who was crying: "Who is this crazy woman?"
Feng Tai looked at Lan Jue and said simply: "The criminal who wants to sacrifice the captured child."
Lan Jue stood staggeringly, his soul had been drained and his body was empty. He heard Wang Yan ask again: "Where is the child?"
Feng Tai looked at Lan Jue again, his lips moved, and suddenly his eyes fell in the distance, and he curled his body and saluted.
King Huai dragged his legs and walked closer: "I can't wait, so I followed me. Feng Qing, where is Qi Tan?"
Feng Tai leaned over and kowtowed: "I am incompetent. His Highness Qi Tan and the son of Minister Lan fell into the river. I have ordered people to search along the river, but I have no gains. I have only found the lost shoes on the earth cliff that fell into the water."
Lan Jue shook for a moment, and Wang Yan held him with a handful of expression. Lan Jue stood up straight again. Zhang Ping, who was far behind, whispered: "Sir."
Lan Jue's silk was not moving, Wang Yan turned his head slightly, Zhang Ping lowered his eyelids, and bowed: "Sir, please leave first."
Wang Yan frowned and waved his hand to signal him to leave quickly.
Zhang Ping looked at Lan Jue's back again, turned around and retreated.
He was very worried about the adults, but he was not suitable for this case for the time being.
The constable and the yamen runners are ready.
He wants to get the real murderer of Yao Yuanwai's murder.
Chapter completed!
