The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

"You didn't dare to say it just now, but now you dare to say it, right?" Jiang Jinchen knocked on the table twice. "Then what exactly is going on? Why did the court ask you to suspend the investigation into this case?"

The county magistrate was stunned when he heard this: "My Lord, you are from the capital, and I am just a small local official. You don't even know about the affairs of the court... How could I possibly know..."

The county magistrate muttered, his voice getting lower and lower. He wanted to complain, but was afraid that Jiang Jinchen would hear his words again.

Jiang Jinchen frowned unhappily. When the county magistrate saw him frown, his body softened and he immediately knelt down again.

He quickly raised three fingers and said respectfully, "God, my Lord, I swear, I really don't know anything! I just saw in the letter that I was told to ignore it, so I ignored it and waited for the court to send someone."

Jiang Jinchen did not respond immediately, but just stared coldly at the county magistrate kneeling on the ground.

Seeing that the county magistrate didn't seem to be lying, Jiang Yingxue looked at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery with a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Father, perhaps the county magistrate really doesn't know. Has the emperor behaved in any unusual way during your time in the capital?"

Jiang Jinchen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "Something has indeed been amiss recently. After the Xu family incident, the Emperor has been staying indoors all day long."

Having said this, Jiang Jinchen paused, then said to the others: "Everyone, please go out first. I have something to say to my daughter alone."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate felt a sense of relief and quickly stood up. "Then I will leave first. If the Marquis has any instructions, please feel free to do so."

He bowed his head respectfully, his tone was flattering, but his steps were unnaturally hurried.

Suddenly, only Marquis Zhongyong and four people from Xianyun Sect were left in the hall.

"Then these few..." Jiang Jinchen said a little embarrassedly.

"Dad, they are all my companions. Can't they stay and discuss this together?"

Jiang Jinchen shook his head: "After all, this is still a matter concerning the Yun Kingdom court, and it also involves the Xu family. And these are all my guesses. Can I tell them? It would be better for you to make a decision after listening to them."

Chu Ying, seeing this, realized that it was not appropriate to stay any longer. She immediately smiled tactfully and nodded, saying, "It's okay. We'll leave first."

She patted Cen Yizhi's shoulder and motioned him to follow. Cen Yizhi nodded silently and was ready to leave with Chu Ying, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Yan Chuan standing beside him, still as steady as a rock, not moving an inch.

"Big Brother, why don't you leave?"

Yan Chuan said, "You guys go out first. I have something to say to the Marquis."

"Okay, okay, whatever you want." Chu Ying and Cen Yizi closed the door.

Jiang Jinchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Yan Chuan standing beside him with some confusion: "This is the first time I've met you. I wonder if you have anything to say to me?"

He immediately felt a little alert. Could it be that this guy had taken a fancy to his daughter and wanted to take this opportunity to win him over?

If he really dares to set his sights on his precious daughter, he will at least give him a punch to make him think twice.

"Just now I heard the Marquis mentioned the Xu family? I want to hear about it."

Hearing that it was not related to his daughter, Jiang Jinchen felt relieved.

He paused and said, "There are many people with the surname Xu. How do you know who I'm talking about?"

"Since it's related to the imperial court, it must be Prime Minister Xu."

Jiang Jinchen's eyes froze instantly. He stared at the masked man in front of him, and suddenly became more puzzled: "Who are you? Are you also from Yun Country?"

Yan Chuan lowered his eyes slightly and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

"Even so, it's not convenient for you to hear what I'm going to say to Yingxue next."

"How about this?" Yan Chuan lowered his head slightly and took off the bronze mask.

After the edge of the mask left his face, a few strands of black hair gently fell down, like inky silk threads drooping in the night.

Beneath the mask lay a face of impeccable bone structure, with a high nose bridge, elegant lips, a cool pale complexion, and distinct contours, as if it were a masterpiece carved by a skilled craftsman.

After seeing this face, Jiang Jinchen's eyes were stunned as if they were hit by something heavy, and he could hardly move away. He stared at Yan Chuan, his mind blank.

How could someone look so similar to the Xu family's playboy who had died a year and a half ago? However, the person in front of him did not have that playboy vibe at all. He had an immortal aura and a sense of calm and composure.

But this is really too similar. Jiang Jinchen opened his mouth slightly, with a look of shock on his face.

However, there are so many rare treasures in this world. God knows whether he used some secret technique or got some magic weapon to get this face?

Jiang Jinchen was filled with doubts. He pursed his lips and frowned as he asked, "Are you from the Xianyun Sect?"

"Yes."

"But why are you..."

Jiang Jinchen paused for a moment, and Yan Chuan immediately took over, "My Lord, you're wondering why I look so much like Xu Yanchuan, the illegitimate son of the Xu family?"

Jiang Jinchen nodded: "Not bad."

Yan Chuan said calmly: "I am him."

"I don't believe it." Jiang Jinchen said without hesitation: "Although you two look very similar, you have an extraordinary temperament, while he is a bit of a scoundrel and looks like a gangster!"

If he hadn't been in a hurry to send his daughter to Xianyun Sect to look for elixirs, he would have taken action against Xu Yanchuan who dared to enter Yingxue's boudoir.

But he died later. It was his own fault. He spent all day in brothels in the capital and got into trouble. This is called retribution.

Yan Chuan was somewhat helpless: "My Lord, I am really him."

Jiang Jinchen folded his arms and turned his head away: "Don't say anything, you are just trying to pretend to be him to trick me into asking for information about the Xu family. Don't waste your time."

Yan Chuan understood. He sighed and then leaned back complacently on a carved mahogany chair, his movements casual and somewhat nonchalant.

He crossed his legs, his left hand resting loosely on the table beside him, and said, "My Lord, you are so blind. You really don't recognize me? Didn't we meet before at the mansion?"

Yan Chuan smiled frivolously, revealing two shallow dimples, and his aura of a playboy suddenly emerged.

Marquis Zhongyong stared at Yan Chuan, stunned at first, then furious.

"You're such a scoundrel, Xu Yanchuan!" he roared, his voice rumbling like thunder, shaking the wooden beams of the entire room slightly. "You really are such a dandy! First you broke into my son's boudoir, then you faked your own death, and now you're pretending to be a gentleman and ambushing my son. You're quite scheming!"

Jiang Jinchen walked towards Yan Chuan step by step, and the floor echoed with a low sound with each step.

"Tell me! What are you planning?" Jiang Jinchen roared.

Before Yan Chuan could explain, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery said, "Forget it, don't say anything. You're just playing tricks. Take my palm first!"
