The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 444
Yan Xilou's body has basically recovered, but he rarely speaks. Pei Zhan was about to leave after reading it for him, but he suddenly grabbed Pei Zhan's hand.

Pei Zhan was startled, and Yan Xilou looked at him with complicated eyes.

Pei Zhan looked at the servants around him, then sat back and said, "I suddenly remembered that I checked the prince's pulse a few days ago. The prince was very angry. Did he eat something bad recently?"

Yan Xilou nodded cooperatively.

Pei Zhan sat down and wrote a prescription for him. Yan Xilou dipped his hand in tea and wrote a word on the table, then erased it.

"Is the second brother here?" Princess An Ning's voice came, and she smiled: "I know that the second young master Pei is also here. Mother asked me to come over and see what else the second brother is missing."

Yan Xilou shook his head.

"Are you writing a prescription?" Princess An Ning asked.

Pei Zhan said without changing his expression: "A recipe for conditioning the body."

Pei Zhan put the prescription on the table, packed his things and was about to leave. Princess An Ning said, "Second brother, I will go and see off Second Young Master Pei."

Yan Xilou nodded, his eyes blank, and he seemed to have no energy.

"How is my second brother?" Princess Anning asked worriedly.

Pei Zhan said: "Your Majesty is in good health."

Princess Anning sighed: "My second brother used to be the most lively, and the house would be lively as long as he was around, but now..."

She was inevitably a little sad.

Pei Zhan said: "Your Majesty will get well."

"I hope so." Princess An Ning said.

When they went out, they saw Yan Dongyuan leaving in a hurry with a group of people.

"Did something happen?" Princess Anning looked worriedly in the direction of Yan Dongyuan.

Pei Zhan said: "Why does the princess say that?"

Princess An Ning said: "The people my eldest brother took just now are the royal guards. They usually protect my father. Something must have happened to my eldest brother suddenly taking them away.

Pei Zhan frowned slightly.

But soon he also heard about the scholars, and he hurried home. Tao Zhen was sitting on a chair, looking at the fire in the stove absentmindedly, thinking about something.

Hearing the noise, she raised her head and said, "You're back."

Pei Zhan nodded.

Tao Zhen: "Have you heard about that?"

"Yeah!" Pei Zhan responded.

Tao Zhen said: "Who dares to kill people so lawlessly? Is he a bandit?"

Of course Pei Zhan didn't know, and he still had to wait for news about this matter, but the news came soon, and it was Du Yunjian who said it.

Because Yan Mingxiu was called away, he was bored and asked Tao Zhen to go over and play chess with him.

Of course, this is the official statement. Tao Zhen thinks only he knows the real reason.

"I heard that there was a riot in a quarry, and a group of prisoners escaped. The idiots there were afraid of being blamed, so they didn't dare to report it. They secretly investigated it themselves, but no one caught them, so something like this happened. These idiots I still wanted to hide it, so I killed several people who knew about it, and then someone found out."

Du Yunjian said as he placed a chess piece on the chessboard.

Tao Zhen took a look and was suddenly speechless. Du Yunjian's level of playing chess was as bad as his level of painting, but it didn't matter. Tao Zhen's level was even worse. She didn't know how to play Go at all. She just played blindly, and after a while she... Got eaten clean.

Du Yunjian threw the chess pieces on the chessboard: "You don't know how to play chess at all."

Tao Zhen nodded.

Du Yunjian said: "You shouldn't. Tao Qian didn't let anyone teach you chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Tao Zhen: "I forgot, I guess I didn't teach you." Du Yunjian sneered and stared into her eyes for a while: "To be honest, I kind of doubt that you were tricked."

Tao Zhen was stunned.

When he said such words in such a joking manner, Tao Zhen was not afraid, only surprised.

In total, the time she had been in contact with Du Yunjian was the shortest. Pei Zhan and Yan Mingxiu didn't notice anything strange. How did he find out?
Tao Zhen also raised his head and looked at him for a moment. Tao Zhen smiled and said, "I don't understand what uncle is talking about."

Du Yunjian said: "It's nothing."

He added: "Don't run around these two days, it's not peaceful."

"Yeah." When Tao Zhen left, Du Yunjian was still sitting quietly, looking at a certain tree in the yard in trance.

Huo Xing left the city in a hurry. The incident at the Shilipo quarry shocked everyone. The Inspection Department strictly ordered them to take good care of their respective jurisdictions and never allow a second Shilipo to appear again.

At the same time, the major academies also sent people over to ask Fucheng for an explanation.

But when the body was brought back, it still refused to be handed over, which made people outside even more suspicious of whether there was something fishy about it.

However, Tao Zhen and Dean Lin were called to Fucheng, along with Dean Qi, Bai Lu, and Dean Yue Jian of Mingshan Academy.

None of them knew why Fucheng asked them to come here.

The person in charge was Yan Dongyuan and two other adults from the Fucheng Yamen. The body was brought back, but it was not sure whether they wanted to recognize it or not.

Tao Zhen didn't understand what this recognition meant until he saw the miserable, bloody corpses of those scholars.

They were all hacked to death with random knives. Some were killed with one knife, and some were chopped with many knives. One had half of his head cut off, and another had his neck almost cut off, with only a bit of skin left. That's why I didn't let my head fall off.

Some of these people were unknown to Tao Zhen, but Tao Zhen had met some of them before at King Yanbei's banquet or when he attended the symposium last year.

Each and every living life suddenly turned into piles of rotten meat. Everyone present could not bear it. The old dean of Yue Jian fainted on the spot. The dean of Bailu looked sad and held the table. Only then did he maintain the last trace of dignity.

Dean Qi ran out and vomited. Only Tao Zhen and Dean Lin stood there. Both of them looked pale and didn't know what to say or do.

If you have never seen a corpse with your own eyes, you will never understand what it feels like.

Tao Zhen had at least seen some of the world. The Data people were killed by Pei Zhan back then, but the enemy was completely different from these people.

"Master Yan, why do you want us to see this?" She suddenly understood something after asking.

No, I didn’t see Jiang Chunsheng!

There is no Jiang Chunsheng here, no Xia Chujiu, Chu Chenglin, or even Zhen Yingtian.

Tao Zhen suddenly became excited: "Are they still alive?"

Her words suddenly lifted the spirits of several deans, and they all looked at Yan Dongyuan eagerly.

Yan Dongyuan nodded: "I asked you to come here just to confirm whether the students from your academy are among them?"

Although several of the corpses were almost deformed, they could still recognize them.

"no!"

"There is no Chujiu, and Chujiu is not here, is he still alive?"

Dean Qi covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said excitedly.

Yan Dongyuan said: "We found out that a carriage was missing at the scene. We found the carriage dozens of miles away from the crime scene, but we didn't find them. They probably escaped after the crime."

Several deans were quite old, especially dean Qi. He covered his chest and almost lost his balance. Tao Zhen helped him. He didn't care about the difference between men and women. He stood firm and seemed to loosen up. Tone: "Just stay alive, just stay alive, Chujiu is smart, nothing will happen to you."

Several deans breathed a sigh of relief.

But Tao Zhen was even more worried.

Three days had passed since the incident. If they walked quickly, three days would be enough for them to run to a place with people for help or return to the capital. But there was still no news, and Tao Zhen had a bad feeling.
