Chapter 172: To investigate the old case from four years ago

Han Lu stayed in the house like this. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and she almost recovered in half a month.

During this period, what was more interesting was that Shuang Jiang went to the Ministry of Industry mansion and not only stole the Ministry of Industry's seal, but also stole an original correspondence about the case.



It's night.

In the misty cloud courtyard.

Xin Nianyan took the letter in her hand and read it back and forth several times, finding it funny.

As long as this letter is there, neither of the two masterminds can escape.

If you are charged with framing an official, it is absolutely impossible to keep the black veil above your head, among other things.

If this deadly thing is not destroyed as soon as possible, what will he keep it for?

"Are you sure this thing was stolen from the Ministry of Works?" Xin Nianyan looked at Hanfeng suspiciously.

Hanfeng stood beside her and nodded, saying with certainty: "The handwriting and official seal have been authenticated, and it is indeed the original work from four years ago."

Xin Nianyan chuckled lightly and tapped on the table with his fingers, feeling a little confused.

"Tell me, what does he want?"

Hanfeng pondered for a moment before speaking: "They just had a simple exchange of interests. They formed a brief alliance when they had a common enemy. In fact, they didn't have any deep friendship."

Xin Nianyan raised his eyebrows: "So, this is just in case, to keep something in hand?"

Hanfeng nodded in agreement.

Indeed, this is the only way it can make sense.

"If officials have such a habit of colluding, then..." Xin Nianyan raised his eyebrows.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs should also have control over the Ministry of Works."

"Let Shuang Jiang go to the Ministry of Finance. If we can find out, we will change the plan."

Xin Nianyan smiled and folded the old letter and put it in the book at hand.

"Watching them bite dogs is much more interesting than taking action ourselves."

Hanfeng looked at her cunning look and felt it was indescribably cute, so he quickly looked away.

"Then, should we continue here in Nan'an County?"

"Of course, Nan'an County Sheriff is dedicated to the people, and he even does not hesitate to fight against the powerful. It is really a pity that he has ended up like this."

"With such an opportunity, it is natural to clear his name and allow his family to return to their homeland. This world will live up to his enthusiasm." Xin Nianyan said seriously.

Hanfeng smiled on his lips and nodded.

Xin Nianyan found it a bit strange. She rarely saw Han Fengxiao.

"The lady is pure and kind, Han Feng admires her."

Pure and good?

Xin Nianyan sneered, "If I am too innocent in my situation, I will be dead."

When she said this, her tone was very calm, but there was a sense of sadness and coolness in it.

"I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person either."

"I did intervene in this matter because of Han Lu."

"But if there is an opportunity to do good without affecting myself, I will not hesitate. I will treat it as... to accumulate some karma for myself."

The windows of the meeting hall were wide open, and the early autumn night breeze blew Xin Nianyan's hair hanging down the side of his face.

For a brief moment, Hanfeng felt that the woman in front of him was extremely thin and thin, and he couldn't help but want to take her into his arms.

He stepped to take down a cloak from the shelf next to him and put it on Xin Nianyan.

"Don't worry, Miss, Hanfeng will bring justice to Nan'an County on behalf of Miss."

Xin Nianyan pulled on his cloak and said, "It's late at night, you should go back early."

Hanfeng bowed respectfully and opened the door of the meeting hall, only to see Hanlu standing at the door holding two cups of tea.

"Why are you standing at the door?" Hanfeng asked her.

He had long known that the cold dew was coming and stopped at the door, but out of some selfish motives that he was not even aware of, he did not reveal it.

Han Lu turned towards him slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Han, guarding me."

Then he entered the house with tea in hand.

The cold wind closed the door smoothly, and Tayue left the quiet Yanyun Courtyard.

"Why are you here?" Xin Nianyan looked up and waved to her. "Just in time, I have something to show you."

Han Lu carried the tea over and placed a cup in front of Xin Nianyan.

"Xiao Zhu said that Guard Han is here, and this servant is here to serve tea."

I just happened to hear them talking when I came here, so I didn't come in to disturb them.

"I won't drink tea anymore because I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." Xin Nianyan waved her hand, motioning Han Lu to sit down, then turned out the letter and placed it in front of her.

Han Lu looked at the letter, her eyes instantly turned red.

"Miss……"

"Don't worry, I will definitely give your father justice." Xin Nianyan patted her hand.

"Thank you, Miss..." Han Lu pursed her lips, and sourness continued to appear in her eyes.

The sister who usually looks cold and distant is actually only sixteen years old.

It is heartbreaking to encounter such a change.

Xin Nianyan held Han Lu's head against her shoulder blades and patted her back to comfort her.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past the window. Xin Nianyan looked sideways and saw Qin Han standing outside.

Xin Nianyan raised her hand slightly and waved it outward twice, signaling for him to go first.

Qin Han: "?"

What do you mean, when a man comes looking for her, he has to hide.

Now that there is a woman here, he has to hide?

He raised his eyebrows, turned around and left with his hands behind his hands.

After a while, Han Lu straightened up and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Miss, this slave has lost his temper."

The young lady treated her so gently that she couldn't help but show such a fragile side...

"It's okay, no one saw it." Xin Nianyan put the letter away, put it back in the book, and asked her again.

"How is your injury?"

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. It's nothing serious."

In order to prove her words, Han Lu even moved her arms to show Xin Nianyan.

"Miss, I'm here to ask for my resignation. I'm almost recovering from my injuries, and it's time to go back and look at the shop."

Xin Nianyan nodded, "Okay, if you think it's okay, don't force it."

"After such a long time, there should be no one in the city to check."

She thought deeply, "If anyone asks, just say that someone here has taken leave and returned to his hometown, and then I called you back."

Even if there were real Jinwu guards in the city to investigate, they would not investigate her.

"The lady is still thoughtful."

The cold dew blessed the body and retreated.

Xin Nianyan then looked at the window of the meeting hall, and there was no movement there.

She walked over and leaned half of her body out with her hands, looking left and right, but no one was there.

Gone again?

With this thought in mind, when he turned around, he was startled by Qin Han standing at the table.

When I saw him reading the letter that I had just put into the book, my heart tightened and I hurried over.

"What are you doing!"

She raised her hand to grab it, but Qin Han raised the letter in his hand high. She couldn't reach it at all, so she could only reach out and fish it out twice, frowning and glaring at him.

"Why does the prince always appear and disappear?"

"You want to investigate an old case from four years ago?" Qin Han raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"Isn't it a little rude of you to look through other people's things without permission?"

Xin Nianyan stared at him displeased, reached out and pulled his arm down, and snatched the letter back.

After getting along with him for such a long time, she now has no taboo about Qin Han's identity and is extremely courageous.
