Chapter 392: People Matter or the Stuff?

Hearing what Tian Ping said, Yan Xu was solemn as expected and he stared at Tian Ping as if deep in thought.

Tian Ping had never been stared like this, and he was embarrassed. He rubbed his hands and asked in a low voice, “Sir, I…”

“You told me that the man who attacked us in the first place is the real King Rui’s heir?” Yan Xu straightened out Tian Ping’s information.

Tian Ping nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes. Didn’t you find the imposing momentum of the so-called assistant? If he weren’t in a high position for a long time, how could he get such momentum?”

His heart was still fluttering with fear when he remembered the moment he was confronting the man.

Yan Xu thought according to Tian Ping’s words and nodded approvingly. He was about to express his approval but stopped on second thought. He asked abruptly, “If it were like what you said, then who was pretending to be the imperial envoy?”

Lord Yan kept in mind how he ground his teeth in anger for the insolence of the man.

If he were not the imperial envoy…

A cold light flashed in Yan Xu’s eyes.

Tian Ping didn’t think that far. He replied without thinking, “A servant maybe. Maybe he is an assistant of King Rui’s heir. They exchanged their identity.”

“No way!” An idea suddenly struck Yan Xu’s mind. His expression changed, and he denied Tian Ping’s speculation.

“You’re wrong. The one in the guest room is by no means a simple assistant. The way he put on airs, the way he held himself aloft from beginning to end, and he has never changed anything even when he faced the man you regard as King Rui’s heir.

“He must have been in a high position for quite some time, and be used to behaving with unbearable insolence. If not, it is impossible for him to act like that.”

Yan Xu could guarantee with his sharp eyes which had been trained for over ten years. He would never fail to see it if it were a servant pretending to be King Rui’s heir.

Tian Ping thought for a while and agreed what Yan Xu said was reasonable.

The so-called King Rui’s heir was so real.

It was impossible for common people to put on the imposing elegance and the arrogance in his gestures and expressions.

At this moment, the two had never thought of another possibility. There might be more than one imperial envoy, and there was another man who was more privileged than the imperial envoy in some aspect.

Mo Junzhan just played himself and never pretended to be another person. Thus no matter how sharp Yan Xu’s eyes were, it was impossible for him to tell the difference.

In this way, Tian Ping’s speculation, which hadn’t come into shape, was put aside.

The two of them perfectly excluded the right answer.

Obviously, compared with the imperial envoy, Yan Xu worried more about Ye Zhixin beside the imperial envoy.

He asked with knitted eyebrows, “Have you found the thing I asked you to find?”

Tian Ping had to shake his head and explain with blue fear, “I don’t know how she made it. We were going to catch her, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye. The stuff…”

“Crap!” cursed Yan Xu angrily.

But he was aware that it was useless to blame Tian Ping now, and he’d better rack his brains for a countermeasure.

Seeing Yan Xu’s face turning deathly pale, Tian Ping asked in terror, “Sir, do you think that woman has handed the stuff to the imperial envoy?”

Yan Xu’s face froze for a moment and then turned relaxed again. Shaking his head, he said, “No! If King Rui’s heir has received it, he won’t be as calm as he is now.”

“Then that woman must have hidden it somewhere,” said Tian Ping confidently.

Yan Xu agreed with him.

“Fortunately, she’s already here. We can’t kill her above board. You know what to do, right? Do you need me to show you?”

Tian Ping was a little puzzled and wondered what the magistrate wanted him to do.

He hesitated and asked in a low voice, “Shall I send someone to kill her secretly?”

His head was knocked heavily the moment he finished his words.

Yan Xu cursed loudly again, “How about killing you? Why do I keep so many idiots around?”

Tian Ping was so embarrassed that he stood aside meekly and dared not contradict.

He waited until Yan Xu vented all his anger and asked again on the jig.

Yan Xu couldn’t do anything about Tian Ping’s stupidity. “I just want you to find a chance to warn Ye Zhixin, letting her know what she can say and what she can’t!”

“But she has the stuff and will come after you! Won’t I shake the bush to rouse the serpent if I go to talk with her?”

Yan Xu sneered, “Now you know what is shaking the bush to rouse the serpent?”

Tian Ping touched the back of his head and chuckled innocently. He thought that Yan Xu was praising him.

Yan Xu was rendered speechless by him!

“She is in the mansion now. The serpent has been roused and you don’t have to rouse it again!”

Tian Ping said again, “But I’m afraid that she won’t listen to me!”

If Ye Zhixin were easy to speak with, she wouldn’t run counter to them in the first place.

Since Ye Zhixin had run away with the stuff, she must prepare to report Yan Xu’s misdeed with it.

The imperial envoy was just in front of her, and she wouldn’t waste such a precious chance.

But Yan Xu laughed weirdly and said slowly, “I don’t think so!”

Tian Ping looked at him in a puzzled look and didn’t understand what he meant.

“Go and talk to her. Don’t say too much. Let the rest alone!” Yan Xu was not in the mood to explain to Tian Ping.

After instructing Tian Ping what to do harshly, he drove him out.

Wei Ziye took Ye Zhixin to the magistrate’s mansion.

He took care of her in person and never let anyone else touch her everyday food and clothing. He didn’t worry that someone would come to kill her at this moment.

After all, the imperial envoy got the evidence that Yan Xu planned to silence Ye Zhixin. If she lost her life here, Yan Xu would have to quit his job for real.

In this way, Yan Xu should be more anxious about Ye Zhixin’s safety now.

However, when the obstacle was clear, there was a new problem here.

After reviving from her coma, she couldn’t talk anymore.

She didn’t become dumb pathologically. She could say “Thank you”, and she could ask for food when she was angry and for water when she was thirsty.

Her body worked well and she behaved like a normal person.

But once Shi Qingxue asked why she fell unconscious on the roadside, she would keep silent.

If Shi Qingxue pushed harder, Ye Zhixin would look at her sorrowfully and the desperation in her eyes was so obvious. It looked as if Shi Qingxue had a stony heart if she went on asking.

Shi Qingxue had to stop compelling her. She called Wei Ziye out alone and asked, “What made her like that?

“When in the small yard, she dragged her sick body out and the determination in her eyes was so strong. It was just a short time, but why did she change into another person?”

Wei Ziye yelled that he was wronged. “I have no idea too! The day before, she murmured that she was going to find her iron box. You know, the master told me to put it away, so I told her that I didn’t see any iron box when I picked her up.”

“And?” Shi Qingxue asked hastily.

“And her face turned pale at once as if her father were dead.” Wei Ziye talked too freely. He knew nothing about taboo and never pitied anyone.

Shi Qingxue was struck dumb.

She thought the people under Mo Junyang were amazing. They were all capable, but at the same time, they were all sort of indifferent. It was highly possible that they learned it from their master.

Qingxue thought for a while and asked again, “What else did you say?”

Wei Ziye thought about it and said, “I told her that we’re in the magistrate’s mansion, but she made no response and stopped talking.”

“I’m afraid that the magistrate’s mansion was a deadly punch!”

“What?” Wei Ziye didn’t catch her.

He saw Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang look at each other and smile, but neither of them explained it to him.

He then asked, “What shall we do next? Shall we protect Ye Zhixin?”

Mo Junyang nodded and replied, “Yes, you need to always keep an eye on her.”

Wei Ziye waited for a while, but heard no further order. He felt his capacity was disdained.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Is there anything else? Shall I get something from her mouth?”

He thought it was too simple for him to protect a woman.

Mo Junyang raised his eyebrows with a spurious smile and said, “You can try if you wish.”

After Wei Ziye accepted the order and left, Shi Qingxue asked, “What do you prepare to do? Normally, Ye Zhixin is the best breakthrough, but why do I feel that you’re going round the sun to meet the moon?”

She had no idea what Mo Junyang was thinking about.

Mo Junyang smiled slowly and said, “Do you? Can you tell me what I can do to a woman who doesn’t talk?”

Shi Qingxue was chocked and got nothing to say.

She thought it over and agreed to Mo Junyang’s conclusion.

Ye Zhixin might know lots of things and it was possible that she was the key figure.

But if she didn’t talk, it would not be different whether they had her or not.

In another way, they were more passive, because they had to dispatch their strength to protect her.

“Do you have any other clue?” Shi Qingxue thought of another possibility.

She kept a close eye on Ye Zhixin, because Jiangzhou seemed to have restored to the scene before the disaster.

Although it was still depressed, everything seemed to develop in the right direction. But it was not sufficient to declare Yan Xu guilty.

But it was also impossible for Shi Qingxue to believe that Yan Xu was innocent.

So the problem was where the evidence was.

Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang anxiously, but the latter was calm. She suspected that he had got a solution.

But Mo Junyang failed to meet her expectation this time. He shook his head and said, “No.”

“But you…” Shi Qingxue became more anxious.

Mo Junyang interrupted her anxiety and explained slowly, “I can’t figure it out, but the solution will send itself to our door soon.”

“What do you mean?”

Mo Junyang kept her guessing and said, “Wait and see. It won’t take long!”
