Chapter 164: Forbear to leave
"Do you really trust me?" Liu Fanchen confirmed again.
Chen Qiang has now completely regarded Liu Fanchen as his own person. In addition, the relationship between Liu Fanchen and Chen Wanxin nodded to him with great firmness. Although he just nodded simply, Liu Fanchen knew that this was Chen Qiang's unconditional trust in him. It was just the first time he met you, so he trusted him so much. Liu Fanchen also had a deeper understanding of Chen Qiang in his heart.
"The yamen runners who I want to come with you should not have any chance of survival if nothing unexpected happens."
"What?" Chen Qiang heard this and wanted to get up and walk out the door. After only two steps, he fell to the ground because of the pain. Wan Xin hurried forward and helped Chen Qiang up.
"Brother, you are seriously injured now. If the murderer can commit a family-killing case, he must be inhumane."
Chen Qiang was supported by Wan Xin and sat down on the chair again. He lowered his head, but Wan Xin had already seen the corners of his elder brother's eyes moist. Hot tears fell to the ground. At this time, Wan Xin saw his elder brother crying for the second time. The last time it was when his mother passed away, Chen Qiang hugged Wan Xin and cried to death, and shed tears as silently as he is now.
Wan Xin didn't know what to do, so he had to send Liu Fanchen a message asking for help. Liu Fanchen said nothing. He knew that Chen Qiang's mood was complicated at this moment. One was the inhumanity of resentment of the murderer, and the other was the hatred of himself and the lack of ability to save his brother.
Under Wan Xin's gaze, Liu Fanchen opened his mouth, "And, I think the witness you are looking for should have lost his life."
"What?" Chen Qiang raised his head again. At this moment, his eyes were red as if bloodshot, anger, hatred, and unwillingness were waiting for him to be surrounded by emotions.
Wan Xin looked at Liu Fanchen a little angry, and clearly asked him to persuade his elder brother, but he was fine, and one bad news after another blurted out.
Chen Qiang actually knew in his heart that the witness they were looking for had been killed, but is this case really going to become a headless case? Will the murderer who committed a heinous crime let him go to justice?
"Fanchen, you also fought with the thief yesterday. Do you have any clues and know the origin of this person?" Chen Qiang looked at Liu Fanchen with hope.
After Liu Fanchen shook his head, he lowered his head in dismay. Sure enough, he also fought with the thief. How could he tell who the murderer was from three or five moves?
Wan Xin and Liu Fanchen looked at each other in a tacit understanding. Now it is not the best time to tell the eldest brother who the murderer is. If Yan Jinfei is said, how should I explain to the eldest brother? Moreover, the Yan family and the Shen family still have a kinship relationship, the best way now is not to tell him.
"I'm really useless." Chen Qiang sighed and whispered.
Wan Xin looked at Liu Fanchen with a blame, and comforted him, "Brother, you don't have to be discouraged. I believe that there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and all those who do evil will definitely be retribution."
Chen Qiang felt a little embarrassed when he saw that even Wanxin was comforting her. He was obviously Wanxin's elder brother, but now he asked his sister to comfort him. "Sister, why didn't I understand this truth? But I didn't expect that there are such a rampant person in Beiliang now!"
Liu Fanchen spoke, "There is such a person in Beiliang now. Let's not talk about this for now. Brother Shen, when it gets dark, we will return to Xiliang. But we will feel wronged."
Chen Qiang looked at Liu Fanchen in confusion, "Why are you wronged?"
Liu Fanchen said seriously, "You have to pretend to be dead. Yesterday, the murderer decided that you were already angry and died before he would escape. If he found out that you were not dead, it would definitely lead to a disaster."
Chen Qiang thought for a little while and felt that what Liu Fanchen said was not false. Even if the witness was dead now, the other party would still kill him to prevent future troubles. His life alone was nothing, but Wan Xin, Xue Lanfeng, and his own children were obliged to protect them.
The three people in the room were discussing how to act when they returned to Xiliang, and there were many footsteps in the corridor.
"It seems that your body has been discovered. Don't move here, I'll go out and take a look." After Liu Fanchen gave in, he left the door.
Chen Qiang slowly clenched his fists, and his joints were so strong that his joints were white. Now he didn't even have the chance to collect his corpses. Thinking of the brothers who were brothers and sisters with him, Chen Qiang felt extremely painful.
Wan Xin held Chen Qiang's hand with heartache and let him slowly relax himself, "Brother, I know you are uncomfortable. We are just doing this for the time being. I think your brother will understand your suffering."
Chen Qiang nodded with gritted teeth.
I don’t know what Liu Fanchen used. The yamen runners at the post station have already drafted documents and reported to their superiors that they met criminals yesterday. All the officials from Xiliang who came to stay here were killed.
After the night fell, Wan Xin and his group left Ningqi County in the dark. The yamen runners at the post station had already died of Xiliang officials here, and they were as annoyed as ants on a hot pan. Usually, there were no people here. Now a few people have come to stay and have been killed all night. Fortunately, the top scholar living next door was not killed by this, otherwise they would have lost their heads.
Liu Fanchen sent Wan Xin and Shen Qiang back to the general's mansion, gave a few words, and then turned around and left. Wan Xin looked at the left and right and dared to knock on the door. Soon, Xue Lanfeng came out to open the door. Seeing Wan Xin, she immediately said with red eyes, "Wan Xin! Where are you going, your elder brother...he..."
"Sister-in, let's talk about it later." Wan Xin hurriedly walked into the door, and saw a man with a hat following him. The man was leaning on crutches and walking was quite inconvenient. Xue Lanfeng looked at the man in black suspiciously, but did not say anything. After taking Wan Xin and the other two into the door, they immediately locked the door.
Wanxin walked into the house and looked around, "Sister-in-law, listen to me first..." Wanxin simply told Xue Lanfeng what happened last night. After the talk, Xue Lanfeng looked at the man in the house in surprise.
After he slowly took off the hat on his head and revealed his true face, Xue Lanfeng covered his mouth excitedly, and tears came out, "Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang, you are still alive. Today someone sent me an obituary that clearly said you..."
Chen Qiang whispered, "I'm saying I'm dead, right? This is just a way to keep us safe for the time being."
Then, Chen Qiang asked Xue Lanfeng to dismiss all his servants tomorrow and handle the funeral for him simply, but they must return to the capital now and cannot stay again. Before returning to the capital, Chen Qiang had to hide his true identity.
Chen Qiang held Xue Lanfeng's hand with heartache, "We just returned to the capital after you finished giving birth here. Now we want to let you stay in the car while you are about to give birth. Lanfeng, I'm really useless."
Xue Lanfeng reached out to cover Chen Qiang's mouth, unwilling to listen to him blame himself. "I am very moved by your life now. I originally had no family, but now I have family again. I have no other luxury. As long as our family lives together, it is better than anything else."
The next day, the bodies of "Chen Qiang" and his group were buried. Because Xiliang was on the border, almost all the officials were single, and there were very few people like Chen Qiang who brought their families with them, so the yamen did not ask their relatives to take their bodies back. Xue Lanfeng didn't care at all, and there was no Chen Qiang inside.
She spent a day dismissing all the families and maids. Only Mingyue and Bai Zhi were left beside Wanxin, and Qi Jiakang protected them. Several people packed their luggage and set off in the evening. In order to cover up, except for Qi Jiakang driving the carriage, the rest of them rode a carriage together, which was spacious and comfortable. Before leaving, Liu Fanchen came to the mansion and told Wanxin what to pay attention to.
"I will give you a grievance for the moment. When I return to the capital, you will wait for my news." Before leaving, Liu Fanchen specifically instructed Chen Qiang. He knew that Chen Qiang was full of pride, and I am afraid he would not be able to bear the momentary anger.
Chen Qiang didn't care at all, "I can say that he was a dead person once. As long as he could avenge my brothers, he could bring the murderer of the family-killing case to justice. What is the temporary grievance?"
Liu Fanchen nodded, said a while, and said goodbye to Wanxin and others. Wanxin leaned out of the car and looked at Liu Fanchen who was getting farther and farther away from her, and felt mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know why Liu Fanchen agreed to help her brother in this matter. If Liu Fanchen treated her so sincerely, then she would still hide something from Liu Fanchen. Isn't it too unauthentic?
Xue Lanfeng thought Wan Xin couldn't bear to let go of Liu Fanchen, so she teased, "Look, my daughter is really old. I think this young master Liu is very good. I don't know where his family is and whether his parents are there?"
Wan Xin blushed when he heard Xue Lanfeng's words, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Mr. Liu is just the savior of our Shen family. Where have you thought about it?"
Xue Lanfeng laughed and said that Wanxin was shy of her little daughter, so she stopped talking.
Their carriage arrived at the entrance of Xiliang City and was stopped by the guards, insisting on checking the situation in the car. Qi Jiakang had an argument with the officers and soldiers outside, but the other party was still unwilling to rest assured. Wan Xin was angry and said through the curtain of the car, "These officials, our carriage is full of female relatives, and it is really inconvenient to check it."
When the officers and soldiers heard Wan Xin's voice, they still said fiercely, "This girl, we are also following the instructions. If you don't miss you, then the jobs of our brothers will not be guaranteed. Moreover, we just took a look, and we are not going to do anything."
Wan Xin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, my elder brother's body is not cold, and his widow and his sister are treated like this. If my elder brother had any knowledge of the lunaria, he would definitely be very sad."
After Wan Xin finished speaking, the officers and soldiers who took the lead were also silent. Chen Qiang could be said to be their boss and sighed, "Ms. Chen, we are also ordered to act, and we don't want to do it either. Please give me some convenience."
After a while, a white arm as white as a lotus piece slowly lifted the curtain of the car, and a stunning face appeared in front of the officers and soldiers. All the officers and soldiers present were stunned. Although the girl in front of her was wearing white flowers and wearing a mourning dress, she still could not stop her extraordinary beauty.
The leader of the officers and soldiers were stunned for a few seconds, and came back to their senses, "I'm rude." They stretched their heads to look into the carriage. Except for Wan Xin, there was only one pregnant woman and two maids, and there was no one else. "I'm disturbing." The leader of the leader of the officers and soldiers checked the situation in the carriage, retreated, and ordered the officers and soldiers to make way.
Wan Xin nodded and put down the curtain of the car. However, the officers and soldiers sighed. Such a beautiful man as fairy was about to leave Xiliang City because of his brother. All of them shook their heads helplessly and continued to guard the door bored.
Until the carriage drove for another half an hour, Qi Jiakang's voice came from outside the carriage, "This place is safe."
I saw a person slowly crawling out from under the coffee table in the carriage. This person was either someone else but Chen Qiang. "You're so suffocating." Xue Lanfeng wiped Chen Qiang's sweat on his forehead with distress.
Chen Qiang shook his head. It seemed that the power of the envoy of the family extermination case was greater than his imagination. Could it be that the royal family was supported by such a man? Chen Qiang thought of this and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Even if he had a great sense of justice, he would have hit the stone with an egg. Thinking of Liu Fanchen's promise that he would help him to pull the murderer out, Chen Qiang couldn't help but feel worried.
Liu Fanchen has saved his life. If he dragged him down to an abyss, Chen Qiang could not do this at all. "Wanxin, then Mr. Liu will say when will he return to the capital?"
Seeing that his elder brother was so anxious to find Liu Fanchen, Wan Xin thought he was eager to solve the case. "Brother, I don't know this. The most important thing now is that my sister-in-law gave birth safely, and the case is not in a hurry."
Chen Qiang didn't feel sad for Wan Xin and Xue Lanfeng, so he said without saying a word, "Yes, that's right, the biggest thing now is the child in your sister-in-law's belly."
Wan Xin nodded and asked with some concern, "Now are we going back to the capital directly? Now only Chen Mansion can live in the capital. My news from Zhuyuan can protect it, but if you want to go back, this..."
Wan Xin did not fully express his worries. How could Chen Qiang, a living person, go back, and he is the young master of the Shen family, hide it?
"I have already thought about this. Let's go to your sister-in-law's hometown to live temporarily, and wait until she gives birth to a child before returning to the capital. At that time, I also prepared the house."
"You mean, you are going back to the capital alone? No. Let's go back together." Xue Lanfeng had already heard Chen Qiang's arrangement and said ten thousand disagrees.
Chen Qiang held Xue Lanfeng's hand and said to her seriously, "I can hide anywhere. If I don't prepare the house, we will return to Chen Mansion. You have seen the jackals, tigers and leopards there before..."
"I don't care. You can't go to the capital alone anyway. Even the city gates of Xiliang are guarding. If someone finds you appear in the capital, the danger is even more serious than here! What's wrong with the Shen family? Isn't Liu dead? What's more terrible?" Xue Lanfeng refused to agree to Chen Qiang to return to the capital alone.
"Brother, I think what my sister-in-law said makes sense, and buying a house requires a lot of money... Let's go back to Shen Mansion first." Wan Xin also advised.
Chen Qiang sighed helplessly, "Okay, just follow yours."
Xue Lanfeng and Wan Xin looked at each other and showed the winner's smile. The night had already fallen, and they rushed to Taiqingzhuang without stopping.
