Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

Xu An had just finished breakfast when the doorman came in to report that the constables from the Nancheng County Yamen wanted to see him.

Xu An suspected that Zhan Peng and his team had a problem investigating the case, so he quickly asked the doorman to bring them in.

"Sir, there was a murder case in Nancheng County, and Gongsun Zhubu asked you to return to the Yamen for trial."

The constable immediately bowed and said as soon as he saw Xu An.

Xu An's face changed slightly.

Murder case?

Did Qin Xiaohu and his team take action?

Or was it just an ordinary murder case?

"Qingyi, call Wuxie to go to Nancheng."

After Xu An gave the order, he hurried out the door first.

However, as soon as he went out, Xu An saw Wuxie waiting outside.

He had changed into a white dress today, and the whole person really looked a little ethereal.

"Wuxie, I suddenly don't want to take you with me!"

Xu An looked at Wuxie and said speechlessly: "It's okay that he is handsome, but he also has such a good temperament. It seems that you are too much of a limelight."

"I am not interested in women."

Wuxie's cold voice came.

"You are not right."

Xu An suddenly had a bad taste and looked at his sword and said: "You should say... women will only affect the speed of my sword drawing! Without women in my heart, I will naturally draw the sword."

Wuxie frowned slightly.

It seems that there is some truth.

"Xu An."

At this time, Xu An heard Kong Yan'er's voice and his body suddenly tensed.

Looking back, he saw Kong Yan'er wearing a purple skirt, walking towards him with her hands behind her back, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Hey, evil girl, what do you want to do again?"

Xu An immediately became alert, and his intuition told him that this woman had no good intentions.

"Of course I have something to do with you! After a night of careful consideration, I have decided to pester you."

Kong Yan'er looked at Xu An and raised her fist: "If you don't agree to let me go to the Imperial College, I will pester you for a day. Isn't there a saying?"

"Oh, I remember, it's called men are afraid of women pestering."

Xu An: "?"

He looked at Kong Yan'er and thought, are you sure it's the man who is afraid of women pestering and not the woman who is afraid of men pestering?

And I'm a loser, a dandy!

Which of the ladies in Kyoto doesn't stay away from me when they see me? They are afraid of being contaminated by me and ruining their reputation.

But you come to me yourself? Do you have a misunderstanding about me or about you?

"Kong Yan'er, I don't have time to play games with you, and I won't go to the Imperial College."

Xu An immediately jumped back and said with a wary face: "Besides, you and Xiao Lan'er are good friends, how can you covet her man?"

"Bah, you wish."

Kong Yan'er blushed and said angrily: "I want you to go to the Imperial College, and it has nothing to do with you personally, don't think too much."

Am I thinking too much? You probably don't know what the saying "A man is afraid of a woman's entanglement" means...

Xu An was speechless. Kong Mingzhen, the old scholar, actually taught such a weird granddaughter. It's really unique.

How does this girl look like a lady from a noble family?

"It's up to you, but don't interfere with my work!"

The case in Nancheng County is important now, and Xu An has no time to mess with Kong Yan'er.

Just follow her, it's also pleasing to the eye to have such a beautiful woman around you, but it's a pity that her breasts are a little small...

"Where are you going?" Kong Yan'er was immediately happy.

The plan really worked. I wasted a whole night thinking it up.

"Go to Nancheng County. A murder happened there this morning."

Xu An got on the carriage.

Kong Yan'er's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up. Solving a case sounds exciting!

"It rained last night, the road is not easy to walk on, give me a ride."

As soon as Xu An got into the carriage, she immediately touched him and patted her chest and said, "Xu An, I am an expert in solving cases. You will definitely make a profit if you take me with you."

"If you beg me, I can teach you a few tricks."

Xu An rolled her eyes and said, "Do I need your teaching? No one dares to call himself an expert in solving cases in front of me!"

"Also, this is my carriage. You, a girl, climbed into my carriage. Do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"

Kong Yan'er curled her lips and raised her pink fist: "Just you? I'll beat you!"

Girl, who are you looking down on? This is...Xu An looked at Wuxie, who was holding a sword and closing his eyes to rest, and said, "I have an expert, are you sure?"

"Women will only affect the speed of my sword drawing."

Wuxie said coldly without opening his eyes.

Xu An: "..."

Sister, you learn very quickly, and you learn and apply it flexibly, right?

Kong Yan'er laughed so hard that she fell over.

…

After half an hour.

Under the guidance of the constable, Xu An and Kong Yan'er came to the crime scene.

After jumping off the carriage, Xu An saw a small courtyard with a private entrance in front of him.The crowd was full of onlookers, pointing and talking inside.

"It's Lord Xu, Lord Xu is here."

"I saw Lord Xu trying a case the day before yesterday. He was so powerful. The case of Ergou's wife will definitely be solved quickly!"

"That's not necessarily true. A murder case is different from other cases. How can it be so easy?"

"..."

Seeing Xu An, the crowd suddenly became agitated, pointing at Xu An and talking about him.

Xu An smiled and nodded, then, under the leadership of the constable, he quickly walked through the crowd and entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was relatively clean, with a stone mill installed next to the low wall, and hoes, machetes, and brooms neatly placed under the window. It was obvious that the owner loved cleanliness.

Walking through the courtyard and entering the gate, Xu An saw a middle-aged woman hanging on the beam in the house.

The woman's head was tilted upwards, her face was blue and purple.

And under the body, a middle-aged man in cloth was crying heartbreakingly.

"Ah!"

Seeing this scene, Kong Yan'er, who claimed to be an expert in solving cases, screamed in fear.

Xu An was not afraid at first, but was startled by her shout. He said unhappily, "Are you afraid now? You were so arrogant just now, I thought you wouldn't be afraid!"

"Who... who is afraid?"

Kong Yan'er grabbed Xu An's arm and said with her neck stiff, "I'm not afraid, I'm just... not used to it yet!"

Not afraid? If you're not afraid, don't hold me so tightly... Xu An gasped in pain, but now he was too lazy to argue with this woman.

"Greetings, sir."

Captain Zhan Peng stepped forward and saluted.

Xu An nodded, and said while inspecting the scene: "Tell me about the situation."

"Yes."

Zhan Peng held the sword on his waist with his hand, and said: "This woman is related to the case. Not long ago, my brothers and I were going to arrest her, but as soon as we got outside, we met Zhang Ergou who was rushing out."

"After asking, I found out that his wife was dead."

Xu An's face changed. This was exactly what he was worried about.

He looked back at Zhan Peng and said: "You mean... silence? Is there any evidence?"

Zhan Peng pointed to the scene and said: "The scene was disguised. The deceased was hung up after death."

"The stool used for suicide was a foot and a half away from the body..."
