Chapter 861 rest assured
The boy nodded.

"I see."

"You know him?" Yun Yiyi asked.

The young man shook his head, his eyes flickered: "I don't know him, I just heard it from others."

"Didn't you hear it from the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who you assassinated?" Yun Yiyi guessed, if this bystander knew Yan Qinghe well, he would know her, only from a stranger would he ask this question.

Xia Qing had already said that it was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who was assassinated, so she ventured to guess that she might have overheard it from this person.

"That's right. When I assassinated him, I heard him talking about Yan Qinghe, and said that he wanted to find a chance to get rid of him." Now that he had guessed it, the young man didn't bother to hide it.

Hearing this, Yun Yiyi's indifferent eyes turned a little cold.

"This Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is too courageous, he dared to plot to murder the master!" The servant girl looked angry.

"Madam, this Secretary of the Ministry of Justice is the father of the person who made things difficult for Miss Liu that day." Xia Qing thought for a while, "The peasant woman came to provoke trouble before, and it was not long after that incident. Suicide, do you think this matter was written by Sheng Shangshu?"

Yun Yiyi frowned and did not express her opinion.

Even so, what does this have to do with Qinghe?
If there is no injustice or enmity, why wait for an opportunity to retaliate?
Yun Yiyi couldn't figure it out, so she simply looked at the boy: "Who are you, and why did you assassinate him?"

"My real name is Chen Ci, and I am the only survivor of the Chen Yi bribery case." The young man hesitated for a moment, but still said it out.

"Chen Ci? What's your relationship with Chen Yi?" Xia Qing asked in confusion, "But didn't everyone in the Chen family beheaded back then? How could there be any survivors?"

"I am the youngest son of the Chen family. I have been weak and sick since I was a child. The doctor asserted that I would not live to be 16 years old. Later, my mother asked many ways, and a Taoist told me that as long as I was kept in another place for 16 years in anonymity, if I survived safely, I would grow up." If I live to be a hundred years old, I will be able to restore my identity at that time. Although my mother can't bear it, but for my life, even my birth was not announced, and no one even knew that the Chen family had a young son. I lived like this for 16 years, until I passed my 16th birthday, and when I went to see them at the mansion, I saw such a scene..." Chen Ci's face showed pain, and tears flickered in his eyes.

"That day, I entered the mansion through the secret passage, wanting to surprise my mother, but before I could say a few words, I heard many footsteps coming from outside. In order to keep me, my mother locked me in the secret passage , ordered me to swear not to come out, and then, I watched with my own eyes that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment led people to subdue the old and the young of the Chen family, and put the so-called stolen money in the secret room of the mansion. He tortured the housekeeper of my mansion and forced him to Perjury, and making such a ridiculous gesture afterwards!"

"My father was a clean and honest man, yet he bore such a stigma after his death! My family of seventeen was murdered for no reason, how could I not hate it! Every day of my life is to take the life of that old man , but there are so many talented people around him, so I can't kill him!"

After hearing Chen Ci's speech, Yun Yiyi sighed in her heart, and she asked, "Why don't you seek justice from the emperor and expose his true colors?"

"Do you think I don't want to? It's a pity that those who knew about it back then have already been dealt with by that old man. Even if I seek justice, I have nowhere to go. That's why I want to die!" Chen Ci gritted his teeth.

If he killed the old man directly, he would still not be able to clear up his father's grievances, but how difficult it is to redress his grievances. The witnesses and material evidence from the past are all gone. What can he use to prove his father's innocence?

"I can only use this sword to avenge my family of [-] people. It's a pity that even this opportunity has been missed! What has happened to me, what face do I have to live alone?" saber.

"Chunying, stop him!" Seeing that the situation is not good, Yun Yiyi hurriedly said.

Chunying's sword was faster than her words, she flipped the sword in Chen Ci's hand in the blink of an eye, and said coldly: "A useless man only knows how to blame himself!"

As soon as Chen Ci was interrupted, the courage to commit suicide was gone. He looked at Chunying with red eyes: "You don't know anything, how dare you speak nonsense?"

"Although I don't know what you have gone through, I know that your parents definitely don't want you to do such stupid things. Your mother took your life with great difficulty, not to make you die." Chunying He seldom speaks so much, and a person who usually looks very dull can speak clearly and logically.

Yun Yiyi hooked her lips: "Chunying is right, since I saved you, then your life will be mine from now on, I didn't let you die, you must not die."

Chen Ci turned his head away: "I didn't ask you to save me, it was you who wanted to save me."

"You can give it back to me too."

Yun Yiyi looked at him with a smile, and called, "Chunying."

Chunying understood, raised her sword and pointed at Chen Ci: "How do you want to die?"

Chen Ci: "..."

"Five years." Yun Yiyi put away her joking expression, looked at him, and signaled Chunying to stop, "You just need to stay with me and protect me for five years, and I will set you free after five years."

Five years is neither long nor short, just enough for a person to mature, Yun Yiyi believes that even if he has no revenge, he will not be as depressed as he is now.

"But my existence will bring you danger." Chen Cidao, he was not evasive, as long as he bears blood feud, it will bring disputes to Yun Yiyi.

Yun Yiyi said lightly: "This is something I should consider. During this period of time, you should first recuperate at my residence."

"Thank you Madam for saving me, Chen Ci will definitely protect Madam well."

Yun Yiyi nodded, stood up, and walked out.

Seeing that Chen Ci was at a loss as to what to do, Chunying touched his shoulder with the hilt of his sword: "Why are you still standing there? I won't carry you into the car."

"Hey, wait for me, I'm bleeding..." Seeing that the people around him were almost gone, Chen Ci came to his senses.

Seemingly hearing his voice, Xia Qing threw a set of clothes and a bottle of Jinchuang powder over: "Madam told you to pack up before coming down."

After Chen Ci took it, the corners of his mouth twitched: "Why is it women's clothing again?"

He has no such habit!

Xia Qing gave him a silly look: "Where can I find you a set of men's clothing in the beauty shop?"

"Then... what about the faded clothes and the ground? Don't you need to clean them up?" He looked at the blood-stained dress and the bloodstains on the ground, and couldn't help asking.

Xia Qing rolled his eyes: "Someone will take care of these, just come out after you change them."

The carriage was parked at the back door, unobtrusive. After the carriage was full of people, the coachman began to drive towards Yan's mansion.

After Yun Yiyi arrived at the mansion, she asked Xia Qing to arrange Chen Ci's residence so that he could recuperate from his injuries.

Yan Qinghe had heard from the guards that his wife had brought back a beauty, but before he could ask, Yun Yiyi opened the door and came in.

"Qinghe, I have something to tell you."

Yan Qinghe raised his eyebrows: "I know, you brought back a beauty."

"No, what I'm going to talk about is a big deal..." Yun Yiyi was a little surprised that he found out so quickly.

"Is there anything greater than beauty?"

Only then did Yun Yiyi feel a bit sour, she smiled helplessly: "It's true, for example, your wealth and life are much more important than beauties..."

Yan Qinghe hooked his lips: "Then tell me."

Yun Yiyi sat him down with him: "I think you already know about the assassination of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment today."

Yan Qinghe nodded. This incident was quite a big one, and it was difficult for him not to know. The only pity was that the assassin failed to kill him.

"In order to catch the assassin, the officers and soldiers came to my store to search."

"Did they hurt you?" Yan Qinghe looked carefully at her naked skin, for fear of seeing any traces.

Yun Yiyi patted his hand, expressing that she was fine: "Not at all, but I helped the assassin escape the search."

Yan Qinghe's mind turned quickly, and he immediately realized: "The beauty you brought back today..."

"Yes, it is him."

"It's actually a female assassin." Yan Qinghe sighed.

Yun Yiyi laughed: "Who told you that the assassin is a woman?"

"Didn't you say beauty?" Yan Qinghe was a little confused, there must be people who are neither male nor female.

Yun Yiyi smiled and explained: "It's true that he is a beauty, but he is a man. I just let him wear women's clothes and pretend to be a woman."

Yan Qinghe's eyes darkened, and his eyes were full of disapproval: "Yiyi, this person is so dangerous, how can he be allowed to enter the house?"

"do you know who he is?"

"No matter who it is, an assassin cannot be allowed to live in the mansion. I don't trust you."

Yun Yiyi said slowly: "He was originally named Chen Ci, he is the only survivor of Chen Yi's bribery case, and he is also Chen Yi's youngest son."

Yan Qinghe paused, then looked up.

Seeing his hesitation, Yun Yiyi continued: "Back then, he was lucky enough to avoid a disaster and witnessed the process of the Minister of Criminal Justice committing crimes with his own eyes. Since he had no evidence to rehabilitate him, he planned to terminate the Minister of Criminal Justice directly and avenge his family."

Therefore, Yun Yiyi told Yan Qinghe about Chen Ci's life experience in detail, and at the end, she said: "When Chen Ci was assassinating, I heard that the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said that he would find an opportunity to attack you. I am worried about your safety, so I specially inform you Prevent in advance."

Yan Qinghe didn't expect that there would be such a complicated entanglement. Hearing that Yun Yiyi missed him so much, his heart warmed up: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Is it convenient for Chen Ci to see people now?"

"He was injured, and the doctor is treating him right now, but seeing that he has enough energy, he must not have hurt any vital parts." Yun Yiyi thought for a while, "Do you want to go and see him?"

"I need to ask him about some details." Yan Qinghe said gently, "But it's getting late, so it's not appropriate to disturb his rest. I'll go tomorrow."

Yun Yiyi only said that he had other arrangements, and nodded: "By the way, Qinghe, was it the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who did the peasant woman's suicide?"

"It shouldn't be. I found out that it was Sheng Fang's handwriting. You should bring more guards when you go out these few days. If they can't take revenge on me, I'm afraid they will attack you." Yan Qinghe looked at her worriedly. Manpower has been deployed, but it is not guaranteed to be safe. The best way is naturally to let her stay at home obediently, but how can she stay with her temperament?
"Well, with you, I feel relieved."
