Chapter 267 Ning Yuanchen went to Taohua Village, Xiao Qing and his wife revealed the truth
"Although there is no evidence, I think she did it." Ning Yuanze was also a little helpless: "This is her brilliance. So many people have investigated several times and still haven't found any clues."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Unexpectedly, Ning Yuanchen suddenly laughed out loud, flapping his folding fan in his palm, obviously in a very good mood.
"Fourth brother, it seems that our cousin is indeed extraordinary! Her methods are very typical of our Ning family."
Ning Yuanze rolled his eyes at him: "Even if she recognizes her, her last name is still Han."
"So what? He also has the blood of our Ning family flowing in his veins."
Ning Yuanchen didn't care at all. His curiosity about Xiao Ying reached its peak. This Mrs. Xiao, no, this cousin was really resourceful and intelligent. He began to look forward to being recognized.
Suddenly he thought of something else and his expression became more serious.
"You may not know this yet, but Zhou Yanqing died just over half a month before I came to Yun'an County."
Ning Yuanze was shocked. Zhou Yanqing was dead? How could it be possible?
More than half a month ago, calculating the time, it was less than two months since Zhou Yanqing left Yun'an County. Could it be...
His expression also became serious, and he asked, "How did he die?"
Ning Yuanchen shook his fan and said, "He was killed in the house of his concubine. He was found the next morning."
"Third brother, you don't think that Mrs. Xiao did it, do you?"
Although Xiao Ying's identity has been basically confirmed, Ning Yuanze is still used to calling her Mrs. Xiao for fear of the news leaking out.
"Although Lady Xiao has some abilities, it's unlikely she could reach the capital, and she has never left Yun'an County."
Ning Yuanchen smiled and said, "It seems that you don't know her that well. She has a master by her side. Ying Heng discovered it today and said that the man's strength is even stronger than his."
Ning Yuanze was stunned again. He really didn't know about this. Where did Mrs. Xiao get such an expert?
In this case, it is really possible that Zhou Yanqing was killed by Xiao Ying's men.
He was in a very complicated mood. Unbeknownst to him, Mrs. Xiao had grown to such an extent that she even dared to go to the capital to kill an official appointed by the imperial court.
If this is discovered, it will be a capital crime.
"Third brother, do you want to continue investigating?" He changed the subject.
"Of course." Ning Yuanchen suppressed his smile and said, "No matter what, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Tomorrow I will personally go to Taohua Village."
Ning Yuanze nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Third Brother, with this matter."
…
The next morning, Ning Yuanchen set off as he was told, taking an ordinary inconspicuous carriage. Still with only the coachman and Ying Heng, he went to Taohua Village in a low-key manner.
For fear of attracting the attention of the villagers, the carriage did not enter the village, but stopped at least one mile away from the village.
Ying Heng went to the village alone. In less than a quarter of an hour, he came to the carriage with a person in each hand. They were Xiao Qing and He Qiuju.
Coincidentally, the couple had just gone to the fields to steal someone's vegetables and were sneaking back when they were run into by Ying Heng.
Ying Heng knocked the two men unconscious without saying a word and brought them over.
It would be inappropriate for them to interrogate these two people in the village. If someone heard it and it got out, it would be troublesome.
Looking at the dusty, pale and skinny couple, Ning Yuanchen's eyes flashed with disgust. He ordered the driver to find a secluded place and then asked Ying Heng to wake them up.
Ying Heng slapped each of them on the face. A red slap mark immediately appeared on their faces, and they immediately woke up.
“Mmm…”
He Qiuju immediately cried out in pain, but her voice was hoarse and she could only make grunting sounds.
Although Xiao Qing didn't scream, he was obviously in great pain. His eyes suddenly became fierce and his face looked gloomy.
But before he could jump up, he realized something was wrong. They were actually in a dense forest, their hands were tied, and three unfamiliar men were standing not far away.
When he saw the young man in the lead, he was stunned. It was the first time he had seen such a handsome man.
But the other person looked at him with hatred, as if he was some disgusting thing, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
The two men behind him were strong and powerful, obviously martial artists, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
He racked his brains but couldn't figure out when he had offended such people. What did these people want to do?
"Hmm?"
He sat on the ground tactfully, a questioning look on his face.
He Qiuju shrank behind him in fear, trembling with terror. Her usual unreasonable and aggressive demeanor was gone.
"Are you Xiao Qing and He Qiuju?"
Just then, Ning Yuanchen asked, looking down at the two of them condescendingly.
Were these two the ones who switched people? How audacious!
"Hmm."
Xiao Qing and He Qiuju nodded hurriedly. Where did these people come from? How did they know them?
Ning Yuanchen's eyes turned cold: "That's easy. You just answer whatever I ask from now on. If you dare to lie, this forest will be your burial place!"
Xiao Qing felt a chill down his spine and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His intuition told him that the other party was not joking and really dared to kill someone.
For a moment, all the little thoughts were put away and I became much more honest.
He Qiuju was so frightened that she almost peed herself. She had never seen such a scene before in her life. Who on earth were these people?
The couple nodded like chicks pecking at rice, fearing that they would be killed if they were a minute late.
Ning Yuanchen sneered, thinking they were so brave, but they were just two cowards.
"Thirty-two years ago, did your family take in a young lady named Ning? That lady even gave birth to a child in your house."
"boom!"
In an instant, Xiao Qing and the other person's minds were like thunder exploding, and their faces changed drastically, revealing looks of astonishment.
It’s over!
The first reaction of the two was that it was over, they were discovered! What happened that year had finally been discovered!
The couple couldn't help but tremble like a sieve. Even someone as vicious and cruel as Xiao Qing felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his face pale.
Looking at the two people's reactions, Ning Yuanchen knew the answer and his eyes became even colder.
"Speak!" he shouted.
If I didn't want to get to the bottom of this, I would have wanted to cut the two people in front of me into pieces.
“Mmm…”
Without waiting for Xiao Qing to answer, He Qiuju was so scared that she nodded repeatedly, collapsed to the ground, and burst into tears.
She didn't want to die. She hadn't enjoyed the blessing of her son yet, and she didn't want to die here.
Xiao Qing looked dejected. Not only did he not dare to stop it, but even if he did, it was too late.
Suddenly he thought of something and felt hopeful again. Could the man in front of him be his son?
No, no, no, he doesn’t look like that based on his age. Could it be that he was sent by his son to investigate?
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. He was suddenly overjoyed. It was worth it that he had waited for so many years. Finally, it happened!
But before she could even have a moment of joy, Ning Yuanchen's words poured a bucket of cold water on her head.
"So, you swapped her children for wealth and glory? You sent your own son to enjoy a good life, while you tortured that lady's daughter in your own home?"
"Huh, what a courage!"
