Master Xie Er had never thought of giving Master Xie San and the others a quick death. He witnessed with his own eyes how his mother was forced into a desperate situation step by step, and had to end her own life with her own hands, and even had to abandon her own children to save herself from suffering.
He also wanted to make Mr. Xie and his wife experience all the despair and pain.
In fact, he almost succeeded.
Mrs. Xie has been in tears for the past two months. First, her youngest son's whereabouts were unknown, and then her eldest son disappeared after going to save her youngest son.
This was a huge blow to her.
Wei An had visited her a few days ago. She had become extremely thin. Even her face, which had always been plump and healthy, had become sunken, with high cheekbones. She looked haggard and desolate.
"Then..." Wei An quickly came to her senses. She could no longer think from the perspective of Second Master Xie, because no matter how justifiable Second Master Xie's actions were, Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing were absolutely innocent, and she knew nothing about Third Madam Xie. She shouldn't have paid such a painful price for a mother-in-law whom she had never met or even knew existed.
She came back to her senses and asked Shen Chen: "Even if Xuesong came back earlier, the news sent back by Yongzhou Prefecture should not be too late. Why hasn't Yongzhou Prefecture sent any news back yet?"
After discovering that the Xie brothers were colluding with the bandits, according to convention, the Yongzhou prefect should have written a memorial to the court, and the third master Xie should have also received the news.
But so far, everything over there is calm.
"Very soon." Shen Chen coughed and quickly turned his head. After a while, when the itchiness in his throat had passed, he told Wei An: "The reason why the prefect of Yongzhou has not reported it yet is because the Xie brothers refused to admit their identities at first. Although the servants insisted that they were the sons of the third master Xie and testified against them, the Xie brothers disappeared soon - on the way down the mountain, they took advantage of the chaos to escape."
"Because there is no real evidence, the Yongzhou prefect did not report the incident. He was just chasing the rest of the bandits." Shen Chen glanced at Wei An and said softly, "Xuesong said that if he is not mistaken, the person who created the chaos and rescued Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing was Zhao Qi."
Zhao Qi must have found Mr. Xie's men near the house after he informed Wei An in the capital. He used to work in the Ping An Escort Agency and he knew those people.
Those people were staring at Wei An, and his alertness suddenly rose. In addition, Xie Liangqing was in trouble, so he probably realized that something was wrong, so he followed Xie Liangcheng.
Just as Wei An said, Shen Chen had dealt with Zhao Qi before, who was an extremely smart man and was good at getting to the bottom of every detail.
He knew that he was being followed, and he also knew that Wei An was being followed. He believed in Wei An's ability even more, so he dared to follow without leaving a single word.
Such a person is both loyal and independent-minded. What's rare is that he is not stubborn but truly capable. Wei An doesn't know what kind of relationship he had with Xie Liangcheng to get him here.
Wei An breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder Tan Xi couldn't get any news about him. Who could have expected that the Xie brothers, who were rumored to have been robbed and whose life and death were unknown, would be framed as bandits? He was unfamiliar with the place, and the Xie brothers couldn't show up openly. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for him to go looking for them.
It will be easy now that we have a clue.
Zhao Qi helped a lot, luckily he kidnapped the person.
Since the people have been kidnapped, even if other people point to the Xie brothers and say that these two people are their accomplices, even if the servants arranged by Master Xie Er to be around them deliberately confuse the horse with the zebra.
It doesn't matter.
Wei An smiled and thanked Shen Chen sincerely: "I really want to thank you for your help this time. If it weren't for you, even if the Third Young Master told me so many secrets of the Xie family, I might not have guessed what the bandits had to do with Xie Liangcheng and the others..."
Shen Chen waved his hand nonchalantly: "Do we need to thank each other?" He glared at Wei An, and seeing that Wei An was relieved, he also smiled: "However, this matter must be done as soon as possible. Because Second Master Xie has already made every effort to search for them, we have to find Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing before them, and take them away from there, otherwise it will be troublesome.
Who knows how furious Master Xie will be after they escape again.
Wei An hummed, thought about it, and immediately stood up: "In that case, I have to go back first."
The Third Young Master, who had been silent and seemed to be forgotten, also stood up and said, "You want to send someone to Yongzhou Prefecture. They are new faces and may be easily suspected and tabooed. You can write a letter and I will let the Jinyiwei of Yongzhou Guard do it."
Wei An knew what he said made sense, so he agreed without hesitation. After thinking for a while, he asked Yuqing to take out a small seal and handed it to Lin Sanshao: "This is my seal. Only the five of Zhao Qi know it. Zhao Qi is a cautious and smart person. If your people don't have the token I gave them, it will be difficult for him to believe it."
Young Master Lin took the letter in his hand, took a look at it, and quickly put it away. Without any delay, he waited for Wei An to finish writing the letter, then led Captain Xu away first.
Shen Chen touched his chin and sighed: "The Xie family is in deep trouble. Even if Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing escape this time, there will be a next time. You can't save them forever. There are some things that I suggest you tell them."
Master Xie II will continue to take action. If Master Xie III and his family remain so passive, they will die sooner or later.
Wei An nodded, she was planning the same thing.
However, it is not her place to remind Master Xie San of these things. She is just an outsider, and even if she reminds him, Master Xie San will not believe it.
We can only wait until Xie Liangcheng comes back, tell him all the truth, and let him expose all this.
I hope Young Master Lin's people can act faster than Second Master Xie and his men.
Her purpose of coming to Phoenix Tower to meet Young Master Lin had been achieved, and Young Master Lin unexpectedly helped her even more and solved her future troubles. After looking at the time, she said goodbye to Shen Chen.
Shen Chen quietly escorted her out. When they were out of the side door, Wei An was helped by Lan He to put on his hood. Then he called her out. After hesitating for a moment, he asked her softly, "Wait until the emperor issues an order to give me the surname Shen again. Can I send you a letter to invite you to be my guest?"
Chu Jingxing not only brought trouble to him, but also to Wei An. He was very afraid that Wei An would gradually distance himself from him.
