"This is simply slander!" Huo Anu finally couldn't help but scolded, "It's impossible for us, Miss Shen, to do such a thing. Don't the people in your yamen have any brains?
"What's the point of doubting my young lady like this without reason?"
"Unprovoked?" Xu Zun's eyes widened, "How could it be such a coincidence that You Dalang had just committed suicide in prison due to fear of crime, and you guys showed up at the Silk Satin Shop!?
"Even a fool would wonder if you are here to destroy evidence! Is this still called unfounded suspicion?"
"Ah? This..."
After hearing this, the two girls became confused.
"We...we..." Shen Qian defended awkwardly, "We really just came to ask about your scandal! How could it be, how could this happen?"
"Yeah..." Huo Anu also murmured to himself, "Obviously we are the ones who came to investigate, so why did it happen that we became suspects?"
"Madam," Xu Zun was afraid that the two beauties would come back to their senses, so he hurriedly continued to deceive, "I have just said that this is a well-planned scam!
"You Dalang's wife Chun Niang secretly asked me for help, saying that You Dalang was involved in a major murder case a few years ago and she wanted to report him!" He made it up seriously, "Today, while You Dalang is on a business trip, , she asked me to meet alone.
"Unexpectedly, our secret conversation had already been mastered by You Dalang, so this tragic murder of his wife was staged!
"On the one hand, he wants to kill Chun Niang and silence her; on the other hand, he also wants to use this to frame me and make me his scapegoat!
"Fortunately, I am resourceful and saw through his scheme. Otherwise, you would have to break off the engagement even if you didn't want to! Alas..."
"this……"
Shen Qian hesitated. Although she doubted what Xu Zun said, she had to believe it.
Because the Xu Zun she knew had a grumbling personality and was not good at quibbling. If it didn't really happen, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so real.
Could it be...that I had really wronged him?
Although Shen Qian is smart, she is just a rich young lady with little experience in the world, so naturally she cannot withstand Xu Zun's deception.
But Huo Anu was relatively experienced. She rolled her eyes and reminded in a low voice:
"Miss...don't believe what he says! Why do I feel something is wrong?"
"Nonsense!" As a result, before Shen Qian could say anything, Xu Zun shouted with a stiff neck, "How could you, a little slave, see the stakes in this? The matter is far more serious than you think!"
"Oh?" Shen Qian was surprised again and asked, "What else can be done?"
"What else can be done?" Xu Zun continued to apply strong medicine, "First, I have checked You Dalang's household registration. This guy moved to Xinye County from other places a year ago and opened such a large-scale restaurant in just one year. Silk House, where did the huge amount of money come from?
"Second, they are not a legal couple at all, and they have no relatives, friends, or children in Xinye County. Their origins are simply unknown!
"Coupled with the old case that Chun Niang wanted to expose, and You Dalang's suicide out of fear of guilt, this case is full of doubts and serious circumstances!"
"..." Shen Qian and Huo Anu were completely carried away by Xu Zun, and they listened more and more seriously.
"Madam," Xu Zun kept up his efforts and fired another heavy blow, "I believe you are definitely not the mastermind behind the scenes!
"But have you ever thought about it, if you are not the mastermind, then why did the murderer do this?"
"Yes?" Huo Anu couldn't help but ask, "For what?"
"I have reason to suspect," Xu Zun said word by word, "This matter may be directed at my father-in-law!"
"Ah!!?" Shen Qian was completely confused, "You mean...my dad!!?"
"No way?" Huo Anu was also completely dumbfounded.
"Xu Zun," Shen Qian changed her title and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, why... why are you here for my father?"
"As the daughters of your noble family, you naturally don't understand the dangers of this world! Nowadays, the factions in our Daxuan Dynasty are complicated, fighting overtly and secretly, and there are many twists and turns." Xu Zun made up nonsense, "Although my father-in-law has become an official, he has not He is not far away from the temple. He is an important minister of the imperial court, and he is in his prime. He may be reinstated at any time. There must be some people in the court who don't want to see the father-in-law come out of the mountain again!"
"oh?"
In just a few words, Shen Qian took a new look at Xu Zun.
The Xu Zun she knew before was short-sighted and a frog in a well, and it was impossible for him to see so profoundly.
Of course, Miss Shen didn't know that Xu Zun's words were simply made up and were just used to shift the focus.
"Then..." Shen Qian asked hurriedly, "How did you judge that this matter was about my father?"
"Because... um..." Xu Zun pretended to look around cautiously and said mysteriously, "This matter is of great importance. There are many people here with mixed eyes. I can't say more in depth! If the secret is revealed, it will be harmful to the public. It’s not good for the investigation!”
In fact, he hasn't compiled it yet.
"Ah?" Shen Qian believed it, "Then... you should discuss it with my father in person!"
"That's natural!" Xu Zun nodded, and then said loyally, "Don't worry, madam, I will definitely get to the bottom of this case and uncover the bad guys behind the scenes!
"On the one hand, I need to clear my name, and on the other hand, I need to protect my father-in-law, oh no, our whole family!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but hugged Miss Shen.
"Okay... okay..." Shen Qian stood up immediately and said to Xu Zun, "If you find out quickly, I can feel at ease!"
"Don't worry, madam!"
Seeing that Shen Qian was about to leave, Xu Zun immediately opened the door and shouted to the police outside: "Come two people and escort my wife home!"
"No need!" Huo Anu put the heavy iron umbrella on his shoulders, "I alone can do it! You should just feel free to investigate the case!"
When passing by Xu Zun, Huo Anu whispered to Xu Zun: "You'd better tell the truth today! Otherwise... my iron umbrella won't spare you! Humph!"
After saying that, she glared at Xu Zun fiercely, and then escorted Shen Qian to leave the silk and satin shop.
After the two girls walked away, Xu Zun exhaled heavily!
Of course, in addition to Xu Zun, the ones who exhaled heavily were also the head catcher Zhao Yu and a group of policemen.
Compared to Miss Shen, they were more afraid of Huo Anu!
Although Huo Anu is a woman, she is known as the number one expert in Xinye County, nicknamed the Iron Umbrella Female General. Even Zhao Yu is no match for her.
This girl was aggressive by nature, and with the support of the Shen family, even the government officials would beat her up whenever she asked, making everyone intimidated and miserable.
It is precisely because of this that the police did not dare to stop them before and allowed them to enter the silk and satin shop.
At this moment, everyone thought that Xu Zun would not escape fate and would either be beaten up by Huo Anu or kicked out by Miss Shen.
However, everyone was surprised when they saw Miss Shen leaving in a hurry while Xu Zun was unharmed and calm.
"Lord County Lieutenant, are you okay?" Zhao Yu was the first to step forward and ask with concern, "Have you...recruited?"
