Chapter 85 Snow on the Eaves (8) Don’t worry, you won’t die
Xie Yun took Yan Lang out of the house. Before getting on the carriage, Xie Yun suddenly thought that if that person wanted to escape from Baixia City, it would definitely not work by taking the right path.
If he took the wrong path, Xie Yun suddenly thought of someone.
House earthquake.
He might have a clue. Fang Zhen was a deserter from the battlefield, burning, killing, looting, and everything in between. Smuggling a criminal, as long as the money was in place, everything would be easy. But people like him, I think, were at the intersection of intelligence. As long as there was money, no secret would last forever.
However, Fang Zhen, despite having received money from the Wen family for many years, could not be considered a friend of the family. If one wanted to obtain information from him, they would have to pay a considerable price.
Xie Yun sent someone to find Xie Run. Xie Run had dealt with Fang Zhen many times over the years. Xie Run should first find out Fang Zhen's attitude and then make plans.
Before Xie Yun's carriage reached the yamen, it ran into the returning Wen family carriage.
The people on the opposite side naturally recognized the carriage that Xie Yun was riding in.
Xie Yun got out of the car to meet the people who came, and they were Wen Yingzhuo and Zhan Siyan who had been turned away.
Xie Yun stepped forward and asked, "Master Wen, Madam Wen, how is the situation?"
Wen Yingzhuo only glanced at Xie Yun, then had the carriage curtain lowered. He didn't want to speak to her, his eyes full of contempt, as if Xie Yun was some kind of bad luck.
Xie Yun had been subjected to such contemptuous looks before, but she had important matters at hand. She also didn't want to argue with such short-sighted people.
It was Zhan Siyan who replied, lifting a corner of the curtain. Having been up all night worrying about Wen Yao, the usually exquisitely beautiful Zhan Siyan inevitably looked a little tired. No matter how gorgeous her clothes were, they couldn't hide the exhaustion and haggardness that covered her body and face.
Zhan Siyan shook her head and said, "County Lieutenant Cao simply claimed to be ill and refused to see the guests. Even if we had all the martial arts skills, we would have nowhere to use them."
Don’t even want money?
It seems that this is Yan Huinan’s order?
Claiming to be sick is a good way to delay time.
"Madam, have you sent anyone to guard the county government office?" Xie Yun asked.
Now that they can't see the county lieutenant and can't force their way in, they can only send people to wait at all times, and as soon as County Lieutenant Cao appears, they will rush to the county government office to redeem the person.
Zhan Siyan nodded. "Of course. The most urgent task is to find that crew member first, then learn the whereabouts of the criminal's wife and children from him, and send them to the county government as soon as possible."
That's true.
Xie Yun said, "Don't worry, Madam Wen, I will do my best to assist the Wen family in finding the whereabouts of these people."
"Thank you." Zhan Siyan also vaguely felt that this incident had happened suddenly. Somehow, Wen Yao had suddenly announced that he and Xie Yun were married. The Wang family of Langya had suddenly sent someone to inspect the goods, something they had never done before. The Wen family had always personally sent people to deliver the goods, but this time, they unexpectedly sent someone. And then, they suddenly discovered that there was a fugitive on the Wen family's cargo ship.
The series of events was truly a coincidence. Even Wen Rui could sense something was amiss, and Zhan Siyan couldn't help but suspect Xie Yun.
But there is no substantial evidence or clues pointing to Xie Yun.
When Xie Yun offered to help find someone, Zhan Siyan could hear the sincerity in her words.
At this moment, I can only believe that she will not stab the Wen family again.
But Zhan Siyan didn't pin all her hopes on Xie Yun. The Wen family had already sent their men out to investigate, and they had also entrusted the Cao Gang and the escort agency to search everywhere for the person, leaving no clues unturned.

The carriage was shaking all the way out, and it was already noon after all this time. When the carriage passed through a busy street market, Xie Yun bought some snacks for Yan Lang. After eating the snacks, it was time for Yan Lang to take a nap.
At this moment, he was sleeping peacefully in Xie Yun's arms.
Xie Yun thought about sending him back to the Wen Mansion and then looking for Xie Run.
But when the carriage passed through Wangchun Tower, it was stopped by someone.
The visitor was the owner of Wangchunlou. Xie Yun was afraid to wake Yan Lang, but as soon as the carriage stopped, Yan Lang was awakened by the sudden movement. Xie Yun had no choice but to comfort Yan Lang and let him wait in the carriage for a while.
Xie Yun didn't know what the visitor wanted to say to her. It would be bad if Yan Lang heard something bad.
So she got out of the carriage and spoke to the man.
"Boss Yun, my boss invites you upstairs for a chat."
This person was the shopkeeper of Wangchunlou, but not the true owner. The owner of Wangchunlou was Zhou Wenting. If the Wen family was the most powerful merchant in Baixia, then the Zhou family was the only one that could rival them. It was only because of their connection to the Wang family of Langya that the Wen family became imperial merchants, allowing them to dominate the Zhou family.
For many years, the Zhou family and the Wen family have been harmonious on the surface, but they have been at odds behind the scenes, and it is common for them to trip each other up.
Xie Yun immediately refused, "Go back and tell Boss Zhou that I have something to do today and can't go up to see him. We can talk another day."
"This..." The shopkeeper looked embarrassed.
Xie Yun didn't want to care, but ordered the driver to drive back to the Wen family.
Unexpectedly, just as Xie Yun turned around, a voice came from the terrace above Wangchun Tower, "Boss Yun is really busy. Don't you even have time for a cup of tea?"
Xie Yun looked up and saw Zhou Wenting half-leaning on the railing, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, cracking them slowly and looking down in a daze.
A few days after Xie Yun arrived in Baixia, he met Zhou Wenting.
Zhou Wenting was two years older than her. If Xie Yun had not been accompanied by Fei Jing and Xie Run, she might have been like those innocent girls from good families and been forcibly taken back to Zhou Wenting's mansion.
Over the years, Zhou Wenting has been involved in many lawsuits for forcibly abducting women.
He is a typical, very bad playboy, and has at least several lives on his hands.
Xie Yun hated him immensely. It was for this reason that, when they first started working together, Xie Yun chose Wen Yao, who at least seemed to have a decent and upright character, and the Wen family behind him.
"I'm really sorry, there are children in the carriage, and I really don't have time to drink a sip of tea." Xie Yun said.
Zhou Wenting nodded in sudden realization, thinking it was another Jishantang child. He wasn't worried, so he smiled and said, "Boss Yun is kind and kindhearted. Not only is she busy taking care of the Jishantang children, but she also has to personally attend to any incidents at the Wen family. It's okay, I don't have time today, but perhaps we can talk later when we're free."
Xie Yun rolled her eyes at him in her heart, nodded at him with a forced smile, and got back into the carriage.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Yan Lang asked, "Who is it?"
Xie Yun said without hesitation: "He is a very, very, very annoying person."
Xie Yun's use of three "tens" to emphasize her disgust made the sleepy Yan Lang laugh. He whispered in Xie Yun's ear, "Si Wen, who works for my father, is a very good fighter. If Boss Yun really hates him, I can have Si Wen help you beat him up."
Xie Yun was always moved by Yan Lang's partiality, so she smiled and took Yan Lang into her arms, "Thank you, but I'm in a good mood today, so let's go back first. If he's really annoying later, I'll complain to you, okay?"
"Yeah! You can totally trust me! Tell me all you want!"
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Okay~"
-
It was past noon when they returned to the Wen Mansion. After Xie Yun had Han Zhen and Lu Song take Yan Lang to take a nap, she dismissed the servants in Wen Yao's yard.
After closing the door, he went to Fang Yan Huinan.
Xie Yun went to the dressing table to get the key and asked as she walked, "You haven't been discovered, have you?"
If Yan Huinan deliberately made a noise when she left so that people could notice him, he would easily succeed.
However, when she came back just now, the servants' expressions and behaviors when they saw her were the same as before. They probably didn't notice that there was someone hiding in Xie Yun's room.
Xie Yun asked a question but received no response.
Are you unhappy? Or something else?
I wonder what Yan Huinan would do if he was really unhappy.
However, she has experienced both life and death, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
As she squatted down to unlock the door, she first glanced through the gap, but it was too small to see inside. She then called his name uncertainly, "Yan Huinan?"
But there was still no response.
Xie Yun felt vaguely uneasy.
Wouldn't he rush out and strangle her the moment he unlocked the door?
However, this strange silence made Xie Yun really uncertain.
Her fingertips trembled slightly with nervousness.
It took two or three attempts before he finally managed to open the lock. After struggling to lift the heavy lid, he saw Yan Huinan, whose face was pale.
He leaned weakly against the wall of the box, his hair wet with sweat from the pain, his brows knitted together in pain, his pale, thin face angular. He bit his pale lips, and the dark red blood that oozed out dried at the corner of his mouth.
Xie Yun has been practicing medicine for many years and is accustomed to remaining calm in the face of such situations.
It's just that she just forgot to let him out for a moment, and he was just in the box. How could this happen?
"Yan Huinan?!" Xie Yun quickly took out his hand and placed it on his pulse to check it.
But his hands, which were always hot, were now cold from fingertips to palms.
Xie Yun's hands are warmer than Yan Huinan's.
The bird pecks at the pulse.
The pulse is disordered, with irregular rhythms, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and sometimes slow. It beats a few times and then stops for a moment.
This is a sign of poisoning.
Xie Yun pried open Yan Huinan's eyes and mouth to take a closer look. He wasn't just poisoned, he was already deeply poisoned!
So at this moment it seems more like the remaining poison has not been cleared and has relapsed.
Yan Huinan was in so much pain that he was unconscious. At this moment, he opened his hazy eyes and looked at Xie Yun weakly, but because of her arrival, he showed a tired and miserable smile.
His voice was weak and hoarse, "You're back."
Xie Yun was surprised that he could still laugh at this moment, "When did you get poisoned? Why is it so deep?"
Yan Huinan said lightly: "I forgot."
What do you mean by forgetting? How could he possibly forget something so important? His face clearly had the words "this statement cannot be trusted" written all over it.
Xie Yun had no choice but to pull him up first. Although he was not as strong as before, he was tall after all and not really skinny. Moreover, he was weak at the moment, and most of his weight was supported by the wall of the box. Xie Yun took a lot of effort to support him up.
I helped him lie down on the bed.
Yan Huinan: "Don't worry, you won't die."
I'm hanging on to my life, waiting for you to come and take it away.
"The medicine is in a box on the table in my yard. Yanyan, could you get it for me?"
The last time Xie Yun saw Yan Huinan so weak was when he was poisoned while trying to save her.
Throughout one’s life, when one sees certain scenes, one cannot help but feel familiar with them, perhaps because one has seen them in a dream.
But she had actually witnessed with her own eyes the moment when Yan Huinan's life was hanging by a thread.
"Okay, I'll help you get it." Xie Yun gently lowered the bed curtain, turned around and walked out.
Her steps became hurried and her heart was in turmoil.
She hurried out of the house and passed through the osmanthus trees in the yard. The rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers penetrated her nostrils.
The memory of her and Yan Huinan here last night once again crept into her chaotic mind.
She tried hard to force these memories out of her mind, but memories were uncontrollable. The more she didn't want to remember something, the more she would remember it.
In the chaos, she turned out of the yard and finally walked to Yan Huinan's yard, but met Wen Rui who was wandering at the door.
When the other person looked up, he naturally saw Xie Yun.
Wen Rui already had a grudge against Xie Yun because of the Wen Yao incident and felt disgusted with her.
Wen Rui blamed Xie Yun for the suffering her brother endured in prison today and the fact that her parents were turned away by County Magistrate Cao.
So when she saw Xie Yun at this moment, she naturally had no good words to say. Her tone was very aggressive: "What are you doing in Yan Li's yard?"
This was Yan Huinan's courtyard, and Wen Rui knew it. The moment she saw Xie Yun coming, alarm bells went off in her heart.
