Chapter 226: Let the murderer investigate the murderer

Yang Qin wants to see me at this time? Could it be that he still suspects me?... Chen Yan, hearing this, couldn't help but mutter in his heart, but remained calm, raised his hand, and laughed: "Lead the way!"

At this time, and in Yang Gong's mourning hall, was there a problem with the link he designed, and was it seen through?

Steward Yang respectfully made a gesture of invitation: "Mirror Master Chen, Heir, please this way!"

Having said that, he walked in front to lead the way.

Inner hall.

Old scoundrel Dugu is here too?... Chen Yan and Yuwen Ze entered side by side, with Zhu Yi, Hongye, and Lu Cangfeng trailing behind. They keenly noticed Dugu Zhao standing beside Yang Gong, exchanged glances, and bowed simultaneously: "Greetings, Old Pillar of State Dugu!"

"Greetings, General Yang!"

At the same time, their peripheral vision glanced at the personal guards standing behind the inner hall.

Those burly and strong guys, at a glance, were hundred-battle soldiers. Except for not carrying weapons, no matter how Chen Yan looked at them, they looked like ambushers with axes...

"Mirror Master Chen, Heir, no need for such formalities!" Dugu Zhao sized them up with great interest and waved his hand casually.

That smile was full of warmth.

"Chen is a junior, and cannot afford this title of Mirror Master from the Old Pillar of State..."

Chen Yan smiled calmly, put one hand behind his back, lowered his posture, but remained neither humble nor arrogant: "You can just call me by my name!"

Although in Chen's eyes, Dugu Zhao and Zhao Qian were both old scoundrels...

But on the scene, the necessary decorum had to be maintained!

"This eldest grandson of my old brother is truly outstanding and handsome today!"

Dugu Zhao's gaze kept flowing over Chen Yan, his eyes becoming deeper, and he sighed with emotion.

He paused, then continued, "Since your grandfather's funeral, this is our first meeting, right?"

Time is like a horse whipping, days and months are like falling flowers and flowing water.

After so many years, Old Man Chen Hu's eldest grandson had grown so big, while he himself had early gray hair and was already old...

In the years of fighting side by side, who would have thought that one day, he and his eldest grandson would end up on opposite sides?

It was truly sigh-worthy!

The old scoundrel is continuing old ties?... Chen Yan curled his mouth up slightly, nodded and laughed: "Exactly, Old Pillar of State has a good memory!"

In his memory, the last meeting between Dugu Zhao and the original owner was at the old man's funeral.

It was just that Chen couldn't figure out why the old scoundrel suddenly mentioned this, playing an emotional card, whether it was probing or something else...

Dugu Zhao restrained his emotions, raised his finger, pointed at Yang Qin, looked at Chen Yan, and went straight to the point: "Presumably you are also very curious about what A Qin and I invited you and the Heir here for?"

"The Old Pillar of State is indeed clear-sighted!"

Chen Yan didn't expect Dugu Zhang to point it out directly. He was quite surprised, nodded frankly, and then the corners of his mouth curled into an arc, probing meaningfully: "It couldn't be that you suspect me, and want to set up an ambush to arrest me for questioning?"

He paused, then continued: "This is the Yang Mansion; I'm afraid it's difficult for me to escape alive..."

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly.

He appeared as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

Zhu Yi and Hongye, hearing this, subconsciously gripped their swords and, together with Lu Cangfeng, guarded against the personal guards in the inner hall.

However, although Chen said it like that, he was someone who cherished his life so much; how could he really take risks?

Outside this mansion, Embroidered Attire Envoys had long been lying in ambush; once there was a change, they would kill their way in...

Chen Yan remembered clearly how the Tianzhu Grand General died!

"Hahahaha!"

Dugu Zhao, hearing this, didn't get angry but laughed, pointed his finger at Chen Yan, and said: "You child's personality is really different from your grandfather's..."

"You really know how to joke!"

It was just that a strange look flashed in his deep eyes inadvertently.

Not to mention that there were experts beside these two kids, this was Yang Gong's mansion; even if they really wanted to make a move, it was impossible to choose here...

Moreover, Dugu Zhao had long known that there were many Embroidered Attire Envoys disguised as ordinary people flowing back and forth outside the Yang Mansion...

"Just a joke!"

"Two seniors, please don't take offense!"

Chen Yan, seeing this, immediately cupped his hands, looking apologetic, and gave a step down.

"Forget it, you are a smart person, and there is no need to be roundabout with you..."

Dugu Zhao waved his hand, turned to look at Yang Qin, and said: "A Qin, you say it!"

"Hmm."

Yang Qin nodded, responded, walked forward a few steps, lowered his posture, and said: "Mirror Master Chen, I specially invited you to meet alone to ask you to thoroughly investigate the case of my son's murder!"

"What?!"

Chen Yan was shocked, raised his finger and pointed at himself, full of astonishment, and said incredulously: "General Yang wants Chen to investigate the death of your noble son?!"

"I didn't hear it wrong, did I?!"

At that moment, even with Chen's composure, he was extremely surprised; it wasn't faked at all...

The father of the deceased asks the murderer to investigate the murderer?

It was truly a joy!

"???"

"Let big brother investigate the true murderer who poisoned Yang Gong?!" Yuwen Ze, who had been carefully guarding against an attack, was also dumbfounded, couldn't believe his ears, and a stormy sea was set off in his heart.

Although he didn't know any of the details, from the night he returned to Chang'an from Jingzhou, he had been at the scene!

That was the first time Yuwen Ze had seen his big brother want someone to die so much, and it was extremely urgent...

"No!"

Yang Qin, hearing this, made a decisive response.

He paused, then continued, "To tell you the truth, Mirror Master Chen, the murderer behind the scenes is hidden extremely deep, and the methods are extremely brilliant..."

"Jingzhao Prefecture and I are both at our wits' end!"

"Please, Mirror Master Chen, lend a helping hand!"

Having said that, he sighed helplessly, cupped his hands to Chen Yan, and appeared extremely sincere.

"???"

Yuwen Ze saw that Dugu Zhao didn't object, so he knew the two had reached a high degree of consensus, and wondered in his heart: "Yang Qin and Dugu Zhao have both gone mad?!"

Yuwen Ze couldn't understand it at all...

Not suspecting big brother, but instead begging him to investigate the case???

These two couldn't have lost their minds at the same time, could they?

"Since General Yang has spoken personally, Chen cannot refuse..."

Chen Yan nodded, smiled, and responded.

He paused, his brows furrowed, changed the subject, and continued: "It's just that the General should still remember that night, someone kept pointing out that it was Chen who harmed your noble son!"

That expression and demeanor were grasped just right...

Showing the difficulty to the fullest.

Yang Qin, hearing this, knew who he was referring to, and immediately said sternly to comfort him: "Mirror Master Chen doesn't need to take Gao Jiong's nonsense to heart!"

"Yang naturally trusts Mirror Master Chen..."

Chen Yan shook his head, the difficulty becoming even more intense, "Chen has never worried about this..."

"It's just that I fear my shallow learning and limited ability will fail General Yang's expectations and also fail the spirit of your noble son in heaven!"

The words were said very sincerely, as if they came from the bottom of his heart.

It was just like a polite refusal...

This kid is asking for a price... Yang Qin had lived for so many years, so how could he not see Chen Yan's intention, and said directly: "I won't let the Mirror Master work in vain!"

"As long as you find the true murderer behind the scenes who poisoned my son, Yang will offer one hundred thousand taels as a reward!"

Having said that, he beckoned for his personal guards to bring the silver notes that had been prepared long ago.

As long as he could avenge his beloved son, he wouldn't mind spending a lot of money...

"Talking about silver is too distant..."

Chen Yan, seeing this, smacked his lips, changed the subject, and laughed: "Chen still prefers those shops on Zhuque Avenue of the Yang family, as well as the land outside the city!" ===== CHAPTER 227 =====

Seeing this, Chen Yan smacked his lips, changed the subject, and laughed: "Chen still prefers those shops of the Yang family on Zhuque Avenue, as well as those manors outside the city!"
