Chapter 982 Who Is Mr. Wang? Miss Zhao Again

When Yan Xi returned to Xingguo Hou Mansion, he was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes. After taking a short bath, he ignored eating and went to bed first.

"Master, Master!" The servant's voice seemed to be heard in his ears, which was a bit far away.

"Master, Master!" This time the voice seemed to be in his ears, and there was someone pulling him.

Yan Xi suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight into the sky. The young man's face appeared anxiously in front of him: "Master, Master, please get up quickly. The messenger is here!"

Yan Xi's vision became clear. He covered his blunt head and sat up. The servant helped him get dressed.

"What's the official business?" Yan Xi asked. He didn't wake up and had a headache. He took a sip of the warm tea brought by the servant before asking.

"I'm from the Ministry of Punishment, and I want to see you if I have something to do!" the young man reported in a low voice.

Yan Xi frowned and stood up. Why did the Punishment Department come to him at this time? There was no relationship between him and the Punishment Department. Did something happen to Chunwei?

The center of his eyebrows twitched fiercely, he suddenly woke up, and his face became a little more solemn. If this was really the case, then something had really happened.

He stood up and hurried out.

"Are you Mr. Yan Xiyan?" Two people from the Criminal Department were waiting outside. When they heard the noise in the room, they turned around and looked at Yan Xi up and down before saying slowly.

"What's the matter with you?" Yan Xi asked, suppressing the discomfort in his head.

"I have something to ask Young Master Yan. I wonder if it would be inconvenient for Young Master Yan to come with us to the Ministry of Justice!" The staff of the Ministry of Justice were very polite. Although Mr. Yan is not an important person, this is the Xingguo Marquis Mansion. Just be polite.

"What's going on?" Yan Xi asked again without moving his feet.

Seeing that he didn't want to leave without asking questions, the two officers from the Criminal Department looked at each other and gave in. There was no big surprise in this matter. Even if it was true that Mr. Yan was always in trouble and gave up, it was only a trivial matter. , there is no need to offend him for a maid, and also offend the Xingguo Hou Mansion behind him.

"Did Mr. Yan ever get married to a woman, give birth to a child, and then abandon his wife and son regardless of the child's illness?" A member of the Criminal Department coughed and asked straight to the point.

I have reservations about this woman's identity as a maid. According to the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building, I heard this from the ladies from aristocratic families. I don't know if it is true.

"I... get married? And have children?" Yan Xi was really stunned. He was just thinking about the scientific examination, but he didn't expect it to be his own business. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a while. , why didn’t he know what happened when?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our young master has been studying in the Marquis Xingguo's Mansion since he came to Beijing. Basically, he has not seen any outsiders. There are no women, let alone getting married. When we came to Beijing, our master even asked Marquis Xingguo to help him. Our young master is looking for a good marriage, and now he has children!"

The boy was furious and glared at the two criminals.

It's a shame that they thought of such a ridiculous thing.

The two members of the Criminal Department looked at each other again and carefully observed their performances. Although their expressions were different, they were both full of shock and did not seem to be fake.

"Where did this start? Who framed me like this?" Yan Xi came to his senses, his face turned pale at first, then turned red, and he said angrily.

good

How could such a rumor come out and inexplicably ruin his reputation? How could he not be angry!

"Young Master Yan, you'd better come with us to the Ministry of Punishments and recognize who we are! That woman was originally going to jump off the top of the Zhuangyuan Building. Her mind seemed a little unclear and she seemed to have been drugged. What she kept saying was that you abandoned your wife. Fortunately, someone found out about my son, and he is still in the Ministry of Punishment!"

The person from the Ministry of Punishment said.

He actually committed suicide by jumping off a building. The Zhuangyuan Building was right where he came out before. If this woman really jumped down at that time, he would really be unable to defend himself.

Yan Xi's face turned pale immediately. He knew the meaning of this. If such a thing happened, even if he got hit this time, he would not have a good ending. What he was talking about was his current situation. .

"Let's go!" Without hesitation, he nodded and walked out with the boy, without even bothering to inform Marquis Xingguo.

When he arrived at the Criminal Department, Yan Xi's expression changed drastically when he saw the woman inside.

"Does Mr. Yan know this woman?" an official from the Ministry of Justice who came with him asked. It seemed obvious that he knew her.

"I know her. She is Miss Zhao's maid. She has nothing to do with our young master. She has abandoned her wife and children. She doesn't want to be our young master's concubine. Don't say that she is like this. Even Miss Zhao Not qualified either!”

The boy also saw this woman on the side, and said angrily, pointing at the woman who didn't seem to be very conscious, "Our young master saved Miss Zhao, but was entangled by Miss Zhao. She was with us while I pretend to be pitiful in front of the young master, but on the other hand, I have an affair with the two young masters."

Thinking of the injustice suffered by his young master, the young man's eyes turned red with anger.

I originally thought that Miss Zhao was a good person, but I didn't expect that she was hooking up with Mr. Wang in private, and she seemed to want to plot against her own son.

Upon hearing that there was something in the boy's words, the official from the Ministry of Justice's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "Who is Mr. Wang? Who is Miss Zhao?"

If the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building told me that this woman came here with another woman before, if the prediction is correct, that person may be the Miss Zhao mentioned now. The officials of the Ministry of Punishments are keenly aware of this matter. It should be related to the prince and Miss Zhao.

The doctor had already come to see her. This woman had been drugged. He had repeatedly told her to say this before the drug was administered. She was hesitant to respond and just kept repeating the words and doing the actions she had promised.

Jumping off a building was a planned action.

There must be someone plotting this matter, and the plotter is indeed Mr. Yan in front of me. The words of the young man prove this.

The most suspicious ones are Miss Zhao and Mr. Wang. The origin of these two people is unknown, and it seems that they have a grudge against Yan Xi.

After listening to Yan Xi's explanation of the cause and effect, the officials from the Ministry of Punishment became more certain that this was a planned case with intent. The target was of course Mr. Yan. It was clear that this man named Wang Shengxue had found a woman who didn't know where he came from. A trap was made for Mr. Yan, but originally the woman in the trap was Zhao Qingyu, but for some reason she became Zhao Qingyu's maid.

From the looks of it, Zhao Qingyu must have known Wang Shengxue's intentions and deliberately murdered the maid.

The Ministry of Punishment sent people to Wang Shengxue's place and Zhao Qingyu's residence to arrest people.

In Zhao Qingyu’s

At his residence, he saw Zhao Qingyu who was preparing to escape. Wang Shengxue had not received the news at this time, so he did not come to Zhao Qingyu to avoid suspicion. He was captured at his home.

The two main people were caught, and what happened next was easy to find out. First, the waiter from Zhuangyuan Building recognized Zhao Qingyu as the woman who had accompanied the maid there before, and also left the maid alone after leaving her behind. that person.

Zhao Qingyu, that is, Ning Caixian, dared to hide anything at this time. She told Wang Shengxue and her about plotting against Yan Xi, and blamed Wang Shengxue for everything.

Wang Shengxue knew that he could not escape this time, so he had no choice but to admit his guilt. He only said that he was jealous that Yan Xi was valued by the Xingguo Marquis Mansion, so he set up such a trap in order to ruin Yan Xi's future.

I couldn't find anything further to ask.

The Ministry of Punishment first imprisoned them and prepared to investigate further. It would make sense if this was just jealousy, but I always felt that something was missing. The Xingguo Marquis Mansion had never been very kind to Wang Shengxue, so how could he treat Yan Xishang because of this? Heart, deliberately plotting against him.

When Yan Xi returned to the Xingguo Hou Mansion, it was already dark.

When I got off the carriage, I saw a steward waiting there. When I saw him, I came up and saluted: "Master Yan, our Lord Marquis has invited you!"

"Is this time?" Yan Xi looked at the sky and said in surprise. He never saw Xing Guohou looking for him at this time.

"Young Master Yan has just finished the exam. He should have been allowed to have a good rest, but when the Marquis heard that people from the Ministry of Punishments were talking about Young Master Yan, he was worried and asked his servants to wait here for Young Master Yan!" The steward smiled. The way.

When something like this happened, as the host, Marquis Xingguo should pay attention to it.

"Okay!" Yan Xi nodded and followed the manager inside.

Shao Jing, the Marquis of Xingguo, received him in his own courtyard. There was his study next to the main room. Shao Jing sat in the study with a gloomy face for a long time. Not even the lights were turned on in the study, and the servant was standing guard. Don't dare to go in outside.

After hearing that Yan Xi was coming, Shao Jing asked someone to light a lamp and invited him in to talk.

After Yan Xi finished his salute and the two of them sat down separately, he said: "What happened to my nephew? Why did the people from the Ministry of Punishment find you? If anything happens, just tell me. You can always help your nephew." Busy!" Shao Jing said with a gentle expression, his smiling face looked very kind, and he felt inexplicably convincing.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis. He is the prince of the house..." Yan Xi frowned as he said this. Wang Shengxue is the nephew of Marquis Xingguo. Although they are distantly related, he must be the junior of Marquis Xingguo. These words really don't make much sense. melodious.

"Wang Shengxue? What's wrong with him?" Shao Jing frowned and his smile faded, "This kid is just a stagnant person who always gets into trouble. Even after talking to him several times, he still can't find a solution. This time What happened again?"

It seems that Wang Shengxue is really not a good person. Yan Xi felt more and more grateful to Princess Chen. If she hadn't reminded him, he would not have seen Wang Shengxue's true face. However, since Marquis Xingguo knew that Wang Shengxue was not a good thing, he would usually Li also saw that Wang Shengxue had close contacts with him, why didn't he remind himself?

If others don't know about the affairs in this mansion, maybe the Marquis of Xingguo doesn't know either!

There was actually some doubt in my heart because of Shao Jing's words, which I had never experienced before.
