Chapter 557: Setting the blame
The gate of the Lord's Mansion.
When Gu Chan led Yuan Jie over, Wei Xing and Ren Nanshan were blocking the door with their guards, confronting the patrol yamen officials led by Xu Ziguang in front.
Gu Chan rushed forward angrily, glared at Xu Ziguang and roared, "Xu Ziguang, are you crazy? There was a massacre in the Yushi Mansion. If you don't go and find the real culprit, why are you doing all this nonsense here?"< br>
"No, Lord, I don't want to come either! But I've checked over and over again, and you are the most suspicious. Do you think I can come?" Xu Ziguang said with a bitter face.
"Damn it, I didn't quite believe Yan Xishan before when he said you were a fool! Now, I can see clearly that you are really a fool." Gu Chan angrily cursed.
She never dreamed that the new commander of the patrol yamen she promoted would lead people to arrest her. How could this make her feel so embarrassed?
Xu Ziguang explained in a daze, "Lord, the whole Jiangnan City is now spreading rumors that because you had a grudge against Miss Yan before, you sent someone to kill her in the mansion last night, but she escaped. Yes, the person you sent was discovered. In order to prevent this matter from being leaked, Only after it leaked out did you order people to kill Master Yan and his family, and set fire to the entire Yushi Mansion."
"Fart, what the hell, I have been in the house since I came back from Jiangnan Academy last night. Go to bed, when did I send people to the Yushi Mansion to kill Yanli?" Gu Chan said with a livid face.
"Then your words are unfounded, and it doesn't prove that you are not suspected of this! Anyway, I don't care. Now that the evidence points to you, you have to go back to the patrol yamen with me and be temporarily detained, otherwise I, the patrol yamen How can you be the commander-in-chief?" Xu Ziguang said with an aggrieved look.
"You..." Gu Chan was choked and speechless by him on the spot.
Wei Xing quickly put his mouth to Gu Chan's ear and whispered, "You are the lord, you must take the lead, especially at this juncture, and you must not be ignored."
< br>"Huh..." Gu Chan took a long breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Looking directly at Xu Ziguang, she said with a stiff face, "Okay, whatever you want, I will go back to patrol the Yamen with you."
"Lord, I'm sorry, I've offended you. "Xu Ziguang said with his fists in hand.
After saying that, he immediately ordered two officials to come up, escorted Gu Chan into the carriage and left.
Wei Xing looked at the guards and said, "Okay, it's okay, you all go down and do your own thing!"
"Yes, Chief Manager." All the guards agreed in unison, Return to the house.
After a while, Wei Xing and the other three were the only ones standing quietly at the gate.
Looking at the people in the patrol yamen walking away, all three of them had gloomy expressions and said nothing.
It wasn't until everyone in the patrol yamen disappeared from the front that Yuan Jie said, "According to what Xu Ziguang said just now, the Censor's Mansion was wiped out, but only Yanli ran away, so she must have something to do with it."
"Ask The problem is, Yan Li is Yan Xishan's biological daughter! She can't be so cruel to her biological parents! Someone must have been a hindrance and deliberately sent someone to cause this tragedy and put the blame on our master. "Ren Nanshan spread his hands and said.
Wei Xing frowned and thought for a while, then he said, "Don't make blind guesses. You two will be responsible for managing all the affairs in the lord's house. It's time for me to take action and investigate this matter." The truth behind the matter."
"Okay! Then we listen to you." Yuan Jie nodded.
Then she and Ren Nanshan stopped talking and went into the mansion as instructed by Wei Xing to manage the affairs of the lord's mansion. Wei Xing returned to the room alone and dug out the Batman outfit he had hidden in the box.
Patrol this side of the Yamen.
After Xu Ziguang came back with people escorting Gu Chan, he did not dare to disrespect her at all. Instead, he directly invited her to a relatively quiet courtyard behind the Yamen, and then sat across from her to apologize to her.
Gu Chan laughed and said, "Don't you look stupid! I really thought you were a stupid thing!"
"Lord! I am in this position. "If I don't arrest you, what will the people think of me? So I can only arrest you in such a big way, but don't worry, I believe this matter must have nothing to do with you," Xu Ziguang said hurriedly.
"Why do you see it?" Gu Chan asked with a smile.
Xu Ziguang analyzed with a serious face, "In half a month it will be time for you and General Zuo to conduct offensive and defensive military exercises. You can't do such a huge stupid thing at this juncture, right? ! If you want to defend Jiangnan, Leader, you must unite everyone in the Second Prince Party, and Yan Xishan is the best helper to unite them. If you really kill him, wouldn’t it mean that you are causing trouble for yourself?”
“Well! Go on." Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction.
“I suspect that those who caused the tragedy last night were either the Crown Prince’s people or Zuo Wangfeng’s people. They are the ones who want to get rid of Yan Xishan and disrupt the situation on your side right now. The two are the most suspicious," Xu Ziguang said cautiously.
Gu Chan nodded noncommittally.
She did not deny that Xu Ziguang's statement was correct, but at this juncture, it seemed that neither the prince nor Zuo Wangfeng would make such a choice. After all, if this matter was to be traced to them, it would in fact stir up trouble in the Jiangnan area. All the anger of the Second Prince Party, they had no need to do such a cruel and dangerous thing when they had all the advantages.
Thinking of this, Gu Chan couldn't help but ask, "When you went to put out the fire last night, were there any signs of fighting in the Yushi Mansion?"
"No, all the maids and servants inside were there. Killed with one knife, the most surprising thing The strange thing is that Wu Zuo said that it was the same sword that stabbed Yan Xishan and his wife Bai Xi to death. In other words, the two of them were killed first, then the maids were killed, and then the Censor's Mansion was burned down. Burn the corpse." Xu Ziguang explained.
"Where is Yanli now?" Gu Chan asked.
Xu Ziguang said with a helpless face, "I just sent someone to check this morning. Shortly before the accident last night, the group of men sent by the Crown Prince had already escorted her out of the city. Now it is too late to pursue her. ”
"It seems that she is the only one who knows." Gu Chan murmured to herself.
Last night she and the old academician explained to Yan Xishan about Yanli's cheating, and then the massacre of the Yushi Mansion happened. It is difficult not to make people suspect that Yanli, who had fled, was a huge suspect.
But Gu Chan couldn't figure it out. Yan Xishan and Bai Xi were her biological parents. She wouldn't do such an animal thing, right?
"Lord! Miss Yan is probably also a victim. Faced with this situation, she must have been extremely afraid, so she chose to escape back to Kyoto overnight, otherwise her life would probably be in danger. ." Just when Gu Chan couldn't figure it out, Xu Ziguang added this.
Gu Chan sighed helplessly upon hearing this, feeling that his words seemed to make sense.
At this moment, she was completely in an extremely confusing situation, and she really couldn't figure out who could do such a cruel thing.
