The guard came up panting, cupping his fists and saluting.
Wang Zefang frowned and asked, "What happened?"
The guard said: "Someone just went to the Yamen to report that a murder had occurred in Piaoxiang Building. Our people rushed over and found that the murderer turned out to be Mr. Gao."
Wang Zefang was stunned: "You mean Qing Yuan? He killed someone?"
"yes."
The guard briefly told what happened: "The man who died was the son of Mr. Zhao, a wealthy gentry in the city. He said he was trying to steal an oiran."
Wang Zefang had a dark face and looked a little ugly. At this moment, the door behind him opened and Xiao Chengyi came out and said: "Since there is a murder case, go and get busy."
Wang Zefang thought for a moment and said, "How about you come with me?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Why, you can't solve even one murder case?"
Wang Zefang's lips twitched. It wasn't that he couldn't solve this murder case, but it was about Qing Qingyuan.
He thought that letting Xiao Chengyi handle it would save him some worries. Since Xiao Chengyi didn't want to intervene, he had to go alone.
Wang Zefang didn't waste any time, and immediately left the house with his guards.
Xiao Chengyi had nothing to do and was about to go find Mu Yun'an when he saw his wife Yan Yan and Mu Yun Huan talking in the pavilion.
Yuan Jiahe and the others played in the garden with little Xuyang.
He walked over, and little Xuyang, who had trouble walking with short legs, hugged his legs.
Xiao Chengyi lowered his head and picked him up, teasing him and saying, "Call me uncle."
Little Xuyang shouted inarticulately: "Fushi."
Xiao Chengyi chuckled lightly, thinking that this little dumpling was really cute. If it was a daughter, it would be more lovable.
When Mu Yun'an saw him, he walked down from the pavilion and asked, "Brother Yi, why are you here? Where is my cousin?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "There was a murder case in the city, and he went to deal with it."
Mu Yunhuan was a little surprised when he heard about the murder: "Murder? Since Zefang became the county magistrate of Changzhou, there has been no murder. I wonder who died?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "It seems to be the son of the Zhao family, a wealthy gentry in the city."
Mu Yunhuan was startled: "Master Zhao? Is he dead?"
Mu Yun'an asked curiously: "Who is this young master from the Zhao family? Why is the second sister so surprised?"
Mu Yunhuan said: "The Zhao family is a well-known wealthy gentry in Changzhou. Mr. Zhao only has one son, who is known as a playboy.
Mr. Zhao had committed a crime in the city before and was punished by Ze Fang, who slapped him dozens of times.
Since then, the Zhao family has also been jealous of Ze Fang, and often caused trouble for Ze Fang.
Mr. Zhao dotes on his son very much, and he is the treasure of the Zhao family. I wonder who is so bold as to kill him?"
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and said: "I heard that the murderer is the young master in the house."
Mu Yunhuan's eyes widened: "Qing Qingyuan, did he kill Young Master Zhao?"
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "It's because I want to compete for an oiran."
Mu Yunhuan: "..."
She frowned and said, "These Gao family brothers and sisters are really a disaster."
Mu Yun'an patted her hand and said: "Killing requires a life. If it is really done by Qing Yuan, my cousin will definitely enforce the law impartially."
