Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 216 Questioning by the County Head of the Pavilion Shazhang County

Fu'er entered the room, took the towel from Shen Qinglan's hand, and helped her wipe her long hair bit by bit.

Shen Qinglan took a sip of the pear soup on the side and said with a smile: "They finally took action. Put up the screen and invite Brother Ji to come. I have something to say."

"yes."

Yan'er also made the bed, asked other little girls in the room to put the screen in place, and ordered Guo'er to call Ji Fan over.

"Miss, please call me."

Shen Qinglan took a sip of pear soup, thought for a while and said, "Do you have any clues about the people following my second brother's group?"

The little girls in the courtyard brought a chair, asked Ji Fan to sit down, and brought him a cup of tea.

"They are swordsmen. Our people followed them secretly and found that they entered Fuyue Tower, which should be their hiding place." Ji Fan said.

"Fuyue Tower?"

"It's the Yan family's restaurant."

Shen Qinglan took a deep breath, and Yan'er said next to her: "Miss, could it be that the Yan family has lost the evidence and now regrets cooperating with the Xue and Qin families?"

"Brother Ji, please bring Yan Pengyang, the eldest son of the Yan family, to me right away. Keep it a secret. If you have anything to say, it's better to ask him face to face. I don't like beating around the bush," Shen Qinglan said.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it right away."

Yan'er asked: "Miss, do you want to remove this screen?"

"Withdraw, I will meet him in the courtyard."

"yes."

-

Shen Qinglan, with her long hair loose and a loose coat, was drinking tea at the pavilion in the garden of Wenlan Courtyard.

Yan'er put down the light blue gauze tent of the pavilion, and the breeze blew gently, which was very cool.

"Miss, be careful of catching a cold, put on the gauze cloak." Fu'er brought the gauze cloak and wrapped it around Shen Qinglan.

"How long has Ji Fan been gone?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"About two quarters of an hour." Yan'er replied.

"Yes." Shen Qinglan picked up a candied fruit and put it into his mouth, "It should be here soon. You guys bring chairs and square tables, as well as fruits and tea. We will use them when guests come later."

"yes."

Shen Qinglan took a nap for a while, expecting Ji Fan to be back soon, so she took a sip of tea to refresh herself.

"Sister Shen!"

Tao Guan'er trotted over, followed closely by Ji Fan and Jiang Yang. Miao Ke was the last to enter, carrying a sack.

"Uh...let me go! Who are you!" Yan Pengyang in the sack shouted hesitantly.

Shen Qinglan took a deep breath, she didn't expect that she was really kidnapped, but it didn't matter, as long as the person came, she didn't mind what method was used.

"Be honest!"

Miao Ke slapped the sack, then untied the sack and released Yan Pengyang.

"Who are you! Why do you want to tie me up!"

Yan Pengyang shouted, but no one paid attention. He first looked around in the yard, and then looked into the pavilion.

There was a faint shadow in the gauze tent. He stared at it confusedly and asked, "Who are you?"

"Young Master Yan, you are well." Shen Qinglan just said, "Please sit down."

"County Lord? Grassroots Yan Pengyang, see County Lord!"

Yan Pengyang hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and Shen Qinglan said again: "Master Yan, please get up quickly. Please sit down."

"Caomin... County Lord, Caomin has sent people to look for Shopkeeper Xin and several of his men. I believe there will be news soon. I also ask the County Lord to wait for two more days. Caomin will give the County Lord an explanation!"

Yan Pengyang didn't dare to get up at all and hurriedly explained to her.

The county magistrate must be very angry that the matter has not been settled for so long.

"That's all, I'm not in a hurry about this matter. I came here today to ask Master Yan because I have other things to ask," Shen Qinglan said.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up with a panic look on his face, and sat down on the chair.

"I wonder if the county master has anything to ask?"

Shen Qinglan put down the tea cup in his hand, "Does Mr. Yan know the swordsmen in Kyoto? I heard that there are swordsmen in Fuyue Building in your mansion. I wonder if you can lend them to me, Shen Mansion?"

"Swordsman? County Lord, I, Fuyue Tower, have never raised a swordsman." Yan Pengyang refused, and it didn't look like he was lying.

"I see, but this County Lord heard that several swordsmen who were ambushing around my Shen Mansion entered the Fuyue Building of your Yan family. How should Mr. Yan explain this?" Shen Qinglan asked again.

"Ah..." Yan Pengyang was so frightened that his face turned pale, with a look of disbelief on his face, "How is this possible! This is impossible! County Lord, the grassroots and the family have been wronged! The grassroots swear, if my Yan family was raised by Fuyuelou, The swordsman will definitely make our whole family unable to stand up again forever!"

"It seems that someone is deliberately planning to...slander your Yan family?" Shen Qinglan said.

Yan Pengyang immediately stood up and knelt on the ground, "County Lord! County Lord Mingjian! The grassroots people used to have doubts and didn't understand why their father wanted to fight with the Shen family against the Xue and Qin families. The grassroots father said that the Shen family's business is getting better and better now. The better, and the future is bright. The eldest master and the eldest son of your house are not bullying and provocative people. They are honest and trustworthy in doing business. Only such people are worthy of our Yan family to follow! The Caomin family has long made up their mind to follow Shen The government will never betray its promise."

"Yes." Shen Qinglan nodded. This guy was quite sincere and spoke from the bottom of his heart. "I believe that the Yan family will not betray their trust, but this matter will eventually get to the bottom of the matter to clear your name."

"Don't worry, Lord of the County. As long as the Lord of the County opens his mouth, Yan will do his best and go through fire and water for the Shen family." Yan Pengyang said.

He swears and curses at every turn, and it seems that Yan Pengyang is really feeling aggrieved.

"Miss, Yuanzi is here." Ji Fan said.

"Let him come over."

Yuanzi walked to the pavilion, cupped his hands and said: "Miss, Shopkeeper Xin and his party are dead."

"What did you say? Dead?" Yan Pengyang looked at Yuan Zi in disbelief.

"My subordinates found their traces in the paddy fields in the southern suburbs. When they were found, they had been dead for two or three hours," Motoko replied.

"You did it quickly enough. Do you know who did it?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"It should have been done by a swordsman. All four of them were injured by sharp weapons and their throats were sealed with a knife." Motoko answered.

Yan Pengyang sat down on the ground. Now, he couldn't explain clearly...

"County Lord..."

He looked at Shen Qinglan with tears in his eyes, but Shen Qinglan did not blame him.

"If you die, just die. There's nothing you can do about it. Mr. Yan, I'll give you another chance. Let's see if you can grasp it." Shen Qinglan said.

"Thank you so much, County Master! Please speak, County Master! Yan will be your..."

"That's all. If swearing is useful, then this loyalty seems worthless." Shen Qinglan sat up straight, thought for a while and said: "There is indeed a group of swordsmen living in Fuyue Building now. Although the master does not admit it, but After all, we still have to produce evidence.”

"evidence……"

"But we can't rush this matter. After all, it would be bad for both of us if we alert the enemy."
