Han Yan still did not dodge. When he got close enough, he tilted his head, dodging the fist. He raised his left shoulder and hit Han Li's elbow. His right hand grabbed the young man's finger that was jabbing towards his right rib.

Seeing the momentary coldness in Han Yan's eyes, Chen Huayi subconsciously wanted to get him to show mercy, but at the critical moment, he stopped himself.

Han Yan was just about to attack, but he held back some of his strength. As if his left shoulder had no bones, it bent backwards and moved away from the young man's arm. The right hand that was holding the finger also flipped its wrist, changing its grip. Then, it swung its arm with force, mercilessly.

"Ugh!" The youth's body crashed to the ground, his left arm producing several soft sounds. He groaned. He wanted to scream out loud, but swallowed his scream back into his stomach. Even though his body was twitching in pain, he didn't let out a single groan.

Chen Huayi smiled and said, "This kid is really tenacious. Even when his arms are taken off, he doesn't make a sound."

Han Yan was about to reply when he heard a slightly unhappy voice coming from behind him.

"What's going on?"

"Milord." "Milord." Seeing the green glow on the carriage, all the guards quickly knelt down and saluted. When Chen Chengyi saw Zhao Qingyan looking at him, the smile on his face stiffened and he seemed a little embarrassed. "I came out to help. I'm very far from Xia Fan, so I didn't do anything."

Zhao Qingyan glanced at him and ignored him. He then looked at the young man who was lying on the ground, unable to get up, "This is the person who barged in? What did you get out of it? "

Han Yan obviously had no intention of opening his mouth. After waiting for a while and seeing that Chen Huayi did not say anything, he could only do it on his behalf, "I don't know. I just saw him and fought with him, so I didn't have the time to ask." He wiped the shoe print on his hand and tidied up his slightly messy clothes.

Zhao Qingyan asked, "Where's Master?" Did you manage to test it out? "

Han Yan shook his head. "Qing Gong is very good, but it is not a good technique. It seems to be one that is widespread in the martial arts world, one that is below average." It was only solid, and could even be said to be pretty good. As for his martial arts moves, they seemed to be completely random, relying entirely on brute force and Qing Gong to keep up appearances. I tried a few times, but all he could do was call out to the bridge of his nose, chest, and underside of his ribs. These positions are very tricky, and those who practice martial arts will always protect them. Only the common fighting style of the rough people would use this kind of fighting style. "

When he said "everyone who practices martial arts must protect themselves well", he even faintly smiled at Chen Huayi, who glared back with his eyebrows raised.

Zhao Qingyan followed his gaze. When he saw the footprints on Chen Huayi's chest, he could not help but smile. "You're not faking it?"

Han Yan looked at the unconvinced youth and shook his head. "I don't think so. I only said 'torture' and then started scolding me. If I had been in the martial arts world for a few years, I wouldn't have the guts to do that. I think it's just a coincidence that he was taught a few moves of Qing Gong. He has been practicing it over and over again, so he wants to use it to get revenge? " After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.

The other guards heard his words and also laughed. After all, relying on half a move to train to seek revenge might sound like an ambitious goal, but in reality, it was just nonsense. In this world, how could there be a few idle people who would wholeheartedly pass their martial arts on to a person they met by chance? Very little. And just based on the fact that he didn't know the name of this technique, he was destined to not have much of an environment. In other words, it would be too difficult for anyone to survive until the day of climate change.

Although Zhao Qingyan did not laugh, his expression showed that he did not really care, "So you did not ask me anything?"

Chen Chengyi said, "Although I didn't get anything, it's not like I don't know anything." When I chased him in to get him out, he kept saying, "When I travel in the martial arts world, I should consider it as my business and try my best." "If there is any difficulty, you must draw your sword and help me. It is my duty." This kind of nonsense, it should be because of my dream of becoming a young hero, that's why I sneaked in, right? "

Zhao Qingyan smirked at him, "Nonsense? Weren't you like this before? "

Chen Chengyi smiled and said, "Then I won't be able to withstand the martial arts my master taught me. My studies are solid, and I also have the help of a noble."

Zhao Qingyan sighed, "I hope that the person you are referring to is not me. Otherwise, that person will be angered to death by you."

Chen Huayi scratched his head in embarrassment as he carefully asked, "This time I caught him in time. It could be considered as a small merit, even if I can't get my punishment for it …" Young Marquis, can you calm down first? "

Zhao Qingyan looked at him sideways, "Why? This King has lost so much face. Do you think that you can get through it so easily? "

Chen Huayi stopped joking around, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again, "I'll accept the punishment of being demoted, but can you not be angry?"

Zhao Qingyan looked at Han Yan and seemed to have understood something. "Sure, it's easy to get rid of your anger. Treat me to a meal from the Danxia Maple Pavilion."

"Ah?" Why is it the Resting Maple Pavilion again? " Chen Huayi let out an exaggerated scream, his face full of pain.

Zhao Qingyan was stunned, "Again? Who else is there? "

Han Yan laughed as he interrupted their conversation, "Young prince, I think we should first settle the matter with this child."

Zhao Qingyan looked at the soft arm and said, "First, take his arm back and apply some medicine. Then, find a room for him to stay in for a few days. If he really doesn't have any problems, then just let him go after a few days. "

Han Yan nodded to show that he understood and asked again, "Speaking of which, why is the young prince here? Does Your Highness know? "

Zhao Qingyan selectively ignored his second question, "I suddenly thought of something and came over to ask you."

Han Yan was startled. "Ask me?" Seeing Zhao Qingyan nod in affirmation, he then said, "Sire, please speak." When business began, his title became formal.

Zhao Qingyan said, "The list of servants and disciples of the Mansion of the Marquis of the Trojan Horse that Master Bai provided should have come out a few days ago, right?" Can it match up with the body that was found? "

Han Yan shook his head. "Most of those corpses have already been burnt beyond recognition. Even if there are some that can still be identified by their clothes and physical characteristics, they are still a minority. Even if it was just a group of people, perhaps only those who knew them would be able to tell them apart. We have already found some nearby people who have some contact with the people in the Manchu manor to identify them, but with very little success. "

Zhao Qingyan nodded in understanding, "What about the coroner? "What were the results of the autopsy?"

Han Yan took over the report from Chen Huayi and passed a few copies to Zhao Qingyan. "This is the third and final examination. The results are basically similar to those of the previous two examinations."

"Three times? "Why did you do it once more?" Zhao Qingyan casually asked as he looked down at the paper in his hand.

Han said, "According to your excellency's order, first check the degree of destruction, and then check the degree of destruction." The third time was two days ago, when several coroners came to find me. They said that they might have missed a problem and requested to be reexamined. Subordinate did not ask for permission, and took the initiative to transfer five bodies that had already been inspected. Three complete and three completely damaged corpses each for them to inspect. "

Zhao Qingyan nodded, hinting for him to continue.

Han Yan said, "This report was just sent by the coroner. There are some parts that have not been written down." One of the most important points is that they believe that the 'dead bodies' of the Lord came from almost the same time. "

Zhao Qingyan raised his head in surprise. "What do you mean?"

Han Yan took two steps forward and flipped to a page to point out a place. "The coroner's examination showed that these corpses didn't have much rot. From the weather, it should have taken them at most three days before the fire."

Zhao Qingyan nodded, "I saw it too. Continue."

Han Yan could not help but laugh. "I'm afraid those people did not expect that the lord who had rushed in by chance to save people would actually be in the mood to drag the corpse out for a look. With this delay, Lord, many of the corpses that should have been burnt to ashes were saved. There are a total of thirteen corpses who died early, and the time they died did not exceed three days, so we can roughly conclude that all of them died at the same time. "

Zhao Qingyan did not find his words funny. When he saw the last line of the report, he smiled. "What a coincidence."

Han Yan was stunned. "What did the lord say?"

Zhao Qingyan said, "Actually, I'm suspecting that those burnt corpses not only want to conceal the time of death, but also something else."

Han Yan threw up his hands, "Sire, please speak. I will listen."

Zhao Qingyan turned the paper over and showed him the few lines of words: "No matter how big the fire is, it can't possibly burn all the corpses. That is to say, even if there is some interference, if we insist on investigating, the discovery of these dead bodies is not covered up. "Then the possibility that they're trying to cover up has something else to do with it."

Chen Huayi also came over and softly said, "Soaking the body with ice water would delay its decay. However, the corpse was left behind for too long, so it was impossible to check if it had been soaked with ice water." His eyes lit up, "Does young prince mean these corpses have been soaked in water before?"

Zhao Qingyan handed the report back to Han Yan and nodded. "It would be easy if you don't find out. If we find out that these bodies are dead, then our next goal will be to find the source of the bodies. And corpses soaked in cold water are clearly more resistant to decay than those normally stored. "

Chen Huayi mumbled, "In other words, we were planning to investigate the murder cases and the bodies of the officials that were lost or not reported in the region within three days from the outside of the city. "In fact, it's smaller."

Zhao Qingyan smiled and looked at Han Yan, "Order it to be extended to ten days." "Then arrange and send a copy of the coroner's report to me."

Han Yan lowered his head, "Yes, this subordinate obeys." Looking at the guards at the side, he asked, "What are you all doing? Take your people away while the lord has yet to investigate the crime of dereliction of duty. "

The guards quickly complied and escorted the excited young man away.

Chen Huayi looked at the youngster with great interest as he asked, "Young Prince, can I take care of this person?"

Zhao Qingyan looked at him in surprise. "What? Are you interested in him? "

Chen Huayi blinked. "Not really. I'm just a little interested." Furthermore, the young prince wishes to let him escape. If he were to really escape, not just anyone will be able to catch up with him, right? "

Zhao Qingyan asked, "When did I say I was going to let him go?"

Han Yan laughed. "The young prince told him such an important piece of information. Was it not to let him run away, or to let him watch the show?"

Zhao Qingyan rolled his eyes in annoyance. "You two are smart enough to understand."

Chen Huayi looked at the clothes on his chest and sighed, "I really regret not beating him up personally just now. It will not be easy to quell the hatred in my heart."

Han Yan looked at the footprints on his chest and laughed. "I just kicked you. Is there a need to exaggerate so much?"

Chen Huayi said painfully, "No, you don't understand. I just washed these clothes a few days ago and they are still very clean. They can still be worn for a few more days." Look at this mark, you won't be able to get it unless you wash it off. " As he said this, he rubbed his hands together, leaving his shoe print firmly on it.

Zhao Qingyan coughed lightly as her face turned slightly pale. "I'll be going back first. Don't forget to send me the autopsy results."

Han Yan replied, "Yes, I will arrange everything as soon as possible."
