Chapter 183, Investigating the Case
That night, Liu Wanche stayed up all night taking care of Xia Siheng.
Two maids were outside the door, giggling and stamping their feet excitedly.
Doctor Huang didn't come quickly without the help of Eunuch Yu. He arrived at about five o'clock in the morning.
When he saw such a scene as soon as he entered the door, his mouth was raised high, and he couldn't suppress it at all!
No wonder.
No wonder he was the exclusive doctor of the Ninth Prince, but was sent to obey the orders of Minister Liu and wait to save people at any time.
He is old, I'm afraid he will be able to have a wedding soon!
Hehe.
Carrying the medicine box, he hurriedly came up and whispered, "Madam Liu Wan, let this old minister see the prince first."
If he didn't need to treat the disease, he didn't want to go up and disturb others.
Liu Wan stood up and stepped aside. Her face was full of sorrow, as she was worried about Xia Siheng.
Turning around, she saw Wangxia and Qingsheng staring at her and laughing, and Doctor Huang was also laughing.
Liu Wan was confused and a little angry.
The prince was in such a state, and they could still laugh?
She took the two of them out and lectured them, telling them not to gloat over other people's misfortunes.
But Wangxia secretly looked up at Liu Wan and said with a smile, "We are not laughing at the prince's injury!"
Qingsheng covered his mouth and said, "We are happy for you, young lady!"
"Why?" Liu Wan was a little confused.
"Young lady, your wedding is coming soon. We are happy for you to find such a good husband like the prince!" Wangxia smiled with her eyebrows curved.
"It was so sweet to see the prince and the young lady holding hands and sympathizing with each other just now."
Qingsheng also added.
Wangxia had told her before that they were a little bit attracted to each other, but she couldn't see it at that time.
Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she was so excited that she stamped her feet, and felt a sense of accomplishment in watching them become a couple.
Hearing them say this.
Liu Wan's cheeks suddenly became hot. She
was too worried about Xia Siheng just now and forgot that there were these two maids in the room.
Qingsheng, she was really led astray by Wangxia!
Being teased like this, Liu Wan couldn't get down from the stage, and she pretended to beat the two maids.
"Okay, you dare to make fun of me!"
Wangxia and Qingsheng laughed crisply and kept dodging!
Before daybreak, there were sounds of chasing and fighting in the yard.
Outside the Liu residence,
officials were busy trying to catch the mysterious man who had escaped from the transaction.
The officers and soldiers searched house by house, but it was basically just a formality.
But when they came to the Xie family,
Lord Qin was wary. The news from the prince said that the Xie family was 70% to 80% suspicious.
"Son, take people to check the surrounding area to see if there are any clues."
The Xie family had not installed a gate yet.
Lord Qin planned to take them by surprise and kill them by surprise!
When he thought about getting a promotion for merit, Lord Qin felt happy, and he was no longer sleepy. He was full of energy!
"Come on, rush in and search! Anyone who obstructs will be arrested as a suspect!"
"Yes!"
The officers and soldiers held torches and rushed in under the leadership of Lord Qin!
But no one blocked the gate, and they were a little curious.
Then they continued to go inside.
They saw dozens of people wearing white hats outside the Xie family's funeral hall, turning their heads to look at them.
And in the middle of the crowd, the two men kneeling and burning yellow paper were Xie Jinqian and Xie Jinzhao!
The scene froze immediately.
One team was the Xie family relatives wearing mourning clothes, heartbroken.
One team was the heroic officers and soldiers who were full of enthusiasm and eager to make meritorious deeds to defend their country!
Lord Qin put away the smile on his face, "I was ordered to catch the fugitive from the imperial court. Now I have found Xie's house. I have no intention of disturbing your funeral.
I hope you will help me and cooperate with the government's investigation."
Having said this, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to disperse and investigate.
Xie's relatives wanted to stop them, but were stopped by Xie Jinqian. He smiled bitterly and said, "Cooperating with the government in the investigation is what every citizen of Daxia should do. Let the government search."
The soldiers went to search.
But Lord Qin's eyes still fell on Xie Jinqian. WWw.lΙnGㄚùTχτ.nétAccording
to the news, Xie Jinqian has been doing business outside for many years and has not returned home for a year or so.
Now that he is back, I am afraid he is the most suspicious one.
"Second Master Xie, you are very filial. I heard that you haven't been seen for many years. How come you come back and run into the fugitives of the imperial court..." Lord Qin sighed.
Xie Jinqian smiled and said calmly, "I came back this afternoon. My third brother doesn't know how to handle the funeral, so I ran around all afternoon to look for my grandmother's relatives from house to house."
"You must have worked hard." Lord Qin asked. "
The relatives are the ones who have worked hard. They have been with my brothers and me since the sun sets and have been guarding the spirit until dawn. All of us have never left the public's sight. Maybe my grandmother was popular when she was alive."
Xie Jinqian spoke slowly and gently.
Those relatives began to talk.
"Yes, if it weren't for Jin Qian, who came to invite us personally, we wouldn't have known about this. The elders of the Xie family are too ignorant to leave such an important matter to the young people and miss the time!" An old man angrily scolded. "
If it weren't for us coming, Jin Qian wouldn't know the process, so Li and Jin An are too ignorant." An old woman said.
"We watched Jin Qian and Jin Zhao keep vigil all night, and they knelt until dawn."
"Never left!"
Many people testified.
Lord Qin looked a little unhappy.
Could it be that it was not him?
When the officers and soldiers came back after searching, they reported that they did not find anything!
Lord Qin sighed deeply and said to Xie Jinqian, "You are a filial son. You two should take turns to rest so as not to hurt your body. I do not mean to disturb you. Please forgive me."
He silently paid tribute to the old lady's coffin in his heart.
I do not mean to disturb you. If you are offended, please go to the Ninth Prince!!!
After speaking, he patted Xie Jinqian's arm to comfort him.
Xie Jinqian smiled, slowly looked at his arm, saluted and avoided it, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Qin."
Lord Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Retreat!"
They retreated.
It was dawn.
After arranging for the relatives to stay, Xie Jinqian put away the smile on his lips, his eyes were cold.
"Second brother, they have chased here, what should you do?" Xie Jinzhao couldn't help but worry.
"A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. I didn't even go to the place where the incident happened tonight. What can he find out?"
Xie Jinqian smiled.
He really didn't go.
