After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

"Today, all of you..." Yan Yunshu glanced at the guards. "Did you also say the same thing as the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple?"

The guards nodded, "Of course that's how it's described."

"okay."

Yan Yunshu cast her gaze on one of the guards, "Then sign this testimony."

The guards were surprised and looked at a piece of paper in front of them.

Above are two identical testimonies that Yan Yunshu had written down at some unknown time, signed by the witness.

Even today, the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court did not ask them to sign or seal their names. They just asked them a routine question and did not even write down what they said.

He sent them away just like that, and then hurriedly went to question everyone in the He family.

Even the temporary workers in the mansion were not spared.

However, they never expected that the girl in front of them would be so rigorous. Not only did she ask detailed questions just now, but she also asked the four of them to sign and seal what they said.

It is of course possible to sign and seal the documents, they are just stating what they saw.

But there are still doubts in my heart.

When Yan Yunyi ordered his servants to bring the ink.

Wei Ruopu picked up the testimony written by Yan Yunshu, read it carefully, and smiled at the four people, "The young lady is really protecting you by doing this."

The guards naturally didn't understand and looked at each other.

Wei Ruopu added, "Before we find the murderer, getting your testimony will help us avoid any possible involvement."

At this point, the guards suddenly understood.

Originally, the girl was worried that the fire in He's mansion would be implicated by someone with ulterior motives and implicated the city defense department.

This is planning ahead to deal with unexpected events.

They all looked at Yan Yunshu with gratitude.

At this time, the ink had been brought by the servant.

The four of them successfully completed the signing and sealed the contract, and then left.

Yan Yunshu handed the two signed testimonies to Yan Yunyi.

"Keep one copy with you, and give one copy to the Ministry of Justice."

Yan Yunyi looked at his sister's serious expression and asked in confusion, "Shu'er, is it necessary to be so nervous?"

Yan Yunshu rolled her eyes at Yan Yunyi.

"Brother, according to what the guard said, the fire at the He Mansion broke out suddenly without any warning, and once it started, it was a raging fire. Shu'er thought..."

Yan Yunshu lowered her voice and whispered to the two of them, "Shu'er believes that the fire must have been planned in advance by someone in General He's courtyard. It could not have been caused by anyone else."

Yan Yunyi's face darkened.

"Why?"

"Just look." Yan Yunshu walked over to the city's defense sand table in the room and pointed at the main house in one of the courtyards. "It's late autumn and the dew is heavy. The fire in the boudoir is sudden and fierce. I guess the fire didn't spread slowly. It must have been doused with fuel oil beforehand and then ignited to achieve this effect."

Yan Yunshu said, and then went to the other side of the sand table. "If it was done by someone outside the house, then the fire must have started from the outside of the house. But according to what the guard just said, the fire first started from inside the house and then spread to the house itself. That means..."

"That means the fire was premeditated by someone inside the house!"

Wei Ruopu frowned, one hand nervously gripping the edge of the table.

"But General He rescued several of his servants, one of whom was seriously injured and unconscious... Weighing the pros and cons of this outcome, this..."

Wei Ruopu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Yan Yunshu.

There was the same look of shock in the eyes of both of them.

Fearing that the walls might have ears, no one chose to speak out immediately.

Only Yan Yunyi pondered at the side, "Could it be that the seriously injured and unconscious servant did it?"

Yan Yunshu sighed, glanced at Wei Ruopu again, and then whispered in her brother's ear, "General He."

"What did you say? He..."

Wei Ruopu quickly stepped forward and covered Yan Yunyi's mouth.

"Brother Yunyi, be careful with your words."

Yan Yunyi was lost in thought when he suddenly felt Wei Ruopu covering his mouth, even though he had experienced this many times before.

But this was also the first time that he truly understood the source of that familiar throbbing.

His heart was pounding and his face turned red again.

Wei Ruopu quickly put his hand down, then looked at Yan Yunshu with the same blushing face.

Seeing the awkward situation between the two, Yan Yunshu wanted to make some jokes.

But thinking about what we had just discussed, the joking intention was put away.

"If that's the case, then this matter is directed at, directed at..." Yan Yunshu frowned, took a deep breath, and continued, "It's directed at me."

"And my brother was implicated by me."

After Yan Yunshu finished speaking, the room fell silent.

After a moment, Yan Yunyi said angrily, "Let's see who dares! Let's see who still dares!"

He clenched his fists, extremely angry.

Wei Ruopu's face was also filled with anger.

"The young lady has been subjected to widespread criticism due to rumors. If this is true, it will put her in an even more disadvantageous position."

Yan Yunshu smiled calmly and said, "No matter how much criticism there is, it doesn't matter. Just make plans early and don't let people with ulterior motives lead you by the nose. You must present your testimony and argue your case."

"Don't worry, Shu'er, brother has his own plans."

Yan Yunyi said this, weighing the testimony in his hand.

Yan Yunshu continued.

"Since the army's triumphant return, the soldiers who have been awarded titles and prizes are the top priority for the city's defense. Even if my brother has already sent more men and dispatched a whole team to closely patrol the area around the He residence, there's no guarantee that people will make a big fuss about it. Accusing my brother of dereliction of duty would be the least of my worries. I'm most afraid that rumors will spread that my brother deliberately neglected his duties for my sister's sake!"

After Yan Yunshu finished speaking, Yan Yunyi's face froze.

"Nonsense! Those people are just talking nonsense. Do you have any evidence?"

"Look, they say my sister is a witch and an intruder. Do they have any evidence?" Yan Yunshu looked at the city outside the window, and the autumn wind blew by.

She felt an inexplicable piercing chill throughout her body.

"Brother Yun Yi, if someone really did this on purpose, even without evidence, it would become the truth spread by everyone."

"Hmm," Yan Yunshu turned around and looked at the two of them. "The purpose of the person with ulterior motives may not be to convict anyone. It is very likely that they want to ruin the reputation of you and me, brother and sister."

"Then, we will send the testimony to the Ministry of Justice immediately and make our city's defense stance clear."

Having said that, Yan Yunyi put away the two testimonies and ran away.

Yan Yunshu followed the two of them back into the carriage. When the carriage arrived in front of the criminal department, Yan Yunyi got off.

Then he reached out his hand towards Yan Yunshu.

Yan Yunshu shook her head and said, "There are too many people here, so I won't go down."
