"Replying to Milord, I was at home yesterday at 5 pm.”
"Is there any witness?"
"My parents died early and haven't married yet. I'm the only one living alone in the family.”
"After you left your post yesterday, you went to Drunken Moon Restaurant with Hao Liu. Why did you leave alone first?”
"I was feeling unwell at that time, so I left home first.”
"I'm not feeling well!" Coldblood chuckled." I think you're up to something!”
"This humble servant is speaking the truth. I wonder why you say this.”
"There's no need to quibble in front of me. We'll know if there's a ghost later.”
After saying this, Coldblood stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest.
This action made Xia An a little nervous, not knowing what he was up to.
However, the rules of the Six Fan School were very strict. Before Shangguan Rang left, they had to wait obediently. They couldn't even say anything else, or they would be beaten.
After about the time it took for three incense sticks to burn, a few more constables came in from outside.
From the corner of her eye, Xia An saw that the things in their hands were all from his house.
Not only were there bits and pieces from the corpse, but there was also the bed sheet stained with Ruthless Falling Red.
" Golden Wound Medicine, Miasma Smoke, Iron Caltrop, Sleeve Arrow…" Coldblood sneered as he checked," Forget about the Golden Wound Medicine and hidden weapons, but why is there Miasma Smoke? What are you planning to do with these things?"”
"Milord, I picked it up and didn't plan to do anything with it.”
Coldblood's focus was not on the smoke. Whether it was a Jianghu person or a constable of Six Fan School, it was not a big deal to have a smoke tube on him.
He said this to see if Xia An would have any abnormal reaction.
Fortunately, Xia An had already thought of all kinds of possibilities last night, so she acted neither servile nor overbearing and didn't reveal anything inappropriate.
"Then what's with the blood stain on your bedsheet? According to my observation, the color of the blood stain is still very fresh. It definitely hasn't been more than a day. Why did you hide it in the cabinet?”
" This…" Xia An hesitated for a moment before she blushed and said," Sir, I lied when I said that I wasn't feeling well and left the restaurant early.”
"Actually, I went home to meet someone privately, but please forgive me. For the sake of that woman's reputation and integrity, please forgive me for not being able to say it clearly.”
As soon as he said this, Coldblood, who was holding the red bedsheet in his hand, immediately looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly threw the bedsheet away.
At the same time, the constable who had gone to Xia An's house to search whispered into Coldblood's ear.
"Milord, we asked his neighbors. Yesterday, at around 5 pm, the neighbors near his house did hear a loud voice coming from his direction.”
When Coldblood heard this, he was a little embarrassed and annoyed." Since you're in love with her, you can just find someone to matchmake her. How can such a thing be done by a real man."”
"Your Excellency is right!" Xia An hurriedly bowed and said," When I have enough money, I will go and propose marriage. At that time, I hope that you will come and have a drink with me."”
At this point, Xia An knew that she had passed today's test. With his status, he would probably forget about matchmaking and proposing in the blink of an eye. Coldblood had only said those words to cover up the awkwardness.
"Alright, you can leave. There's nothing for you to do here.”
Coldblood pointed at the things that he had found in Xia An's house." Remember to take these things with you. I think your house will be a little messy. I'll give you a day off today. Go home and pack up."”
"Thank you, sir!"
From a certain perspective, Coldblood was a boss who sympathized with his subordinates.
If he were to put it on the gold-medal arresters of the Six Fan School, he would give them a holiday to clean up the house.
Xia An finally understood why Coldblood had given him a day off after he returned home with a bunch of things.
It was as if his house had been ransacked by bandits. Everything had been turned upside down, and even the ashes in the kitchen stove had been dug out.
Not to mention other places, any place that might have hidden things had been turned upside down. The only thing missing was the roof of his house.
Moreover, the silver he had obtained after searching the corpses for so long, as well as the salary given by Six Fan School, had all disappeared.
Needless to say, this was definitely done by the constables who came to search the place.
He had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.
While he was tidying up the house, in the Prime Minister's residence, Minister Cai was furious.
"These idiots, what are they doing? They actually messed up something that was so easy to get!”
"Minister Cai, there's no need to be so angry!”A middle-aged man with a small mustache said with a smile.
"Although the plan didn't succeed, we've found out something. If nothing goes wrong, the Divine Constabulary might have a partnership with the Tang Sect.”
"If we make an issue out of this, it's enough to make that old bastard Zhuge Zhengwo suffer.”
The man's attitude was very casual, and there was even a hint of disdain in his eyes occasionally. He did not take Minister Cai seriously at all.
If this scene was seen by others, they would definitely be shocked. Even the current Emperor did not dare to treat Minister Cai with such an attitude, not to mention that this man was just a merchant...
