Xu Qinghuan's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and he breathed a long sigh of relief after a long while.
"It's okay, I just had a dream." Qing Huan saw the worried look on Feng Chu's face and comforted her with a smile.
Feng Chu served Xu Qinghuan to dress, "A dream that can scare the eldest lady must be very scary."
Xu Qinghuan thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember exactly what he dreamed about. It seemed that the last person he met was Mr. Song.
Could it be that she had such a confused dream because she went to Master Song's house last night? It's not surprising if you think about it. In the previous life, Marquis Song was a fierce tiger. Who would want a sheep to enter the tiger's mouth?
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh at her own thoughts.
Feng Chu looked at the corner of the eldest lady's mouth and smiled happily. She couldn't help but leaned over and winked and said mysteriously, "Miss, you smell the fragrance, so you feel much better."
Xu Qinghuan shook his head, "What kind of fragrance?"
Feng Chu looked out the window, "The prince went to buy all the delicious food in the city early in the morning, and he was just waiting for the eldest lady to get up and eat."
Xu Qinghuan opened the door after washing up, and saw Xu Qingan standing outside the door, looking languid, with dark eyes, obviously not sleeping well.
There are several food boxes placed in the yard, as well as various knick-knacks.
Xu Qinghuan said, "Brother, did you learn this from Mr. Wang?"
Xu Qingan's face completely dropped, with a look of grievance. Sure enough, his sister began to dislike him, so he hurriedly left the house and randomly found a black-faced man like Song. "Sister..." he said with red eyes, "You used to
I really like what I sent you.”
"I like it now too," Xu Qinghuan looked at the food box, "I'm afraid my brother has visited all the restaurants in Jiangyin, right?"
When Xu Qing'an mentioned this, his eyes lit up, and he felt that he was still useful. "I bought my sister's favorite white jade cake." He knew his sister's taste best. Song Mouguang had a lot of strength, but he couldn't eat it or use it as food.
Wear it, my sister will see this clearly sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing'an felt frustrated. Before, he only thought that Song had cheated him out of a piece of clothing, but at some point, someone else was involved in it. In vain did he think that Song was a gentleman.
"Miss."
The Xu brothers and sisters had just finished eating when Mrs. Chang walked in. "Yizhuang has collected two corpses. I see something is wrong."
Xu Qinghuan asked Mrs. Chang to sit down and listen carefully to what Mrs. Chang said about this matter.
"The body was delivered early this morning. It seemed that he was preparing to leave Changzhou to escape. On the way, he met a murderer and all five members of his family were killed."
Xu Qing'an frowned as he listened, "Every time there is a war, someone will take advantage of the chaos and do evil."
Xu Qinghuan nodded. If it were peacetime and a major case like murder was encountered, the government officials would immediately conduct strict interrogations of people entering and leaving the city, and they would be able to find out something fishy very quickly. But now people are panicked, and there are many people who go in and out of the city every day.
The people were out of the city, and there were complicated official affairs in the yamen. It was impossible to find out in such a big way, but since Mrs. Chang mentioned this case, there might be another mystery in it.
Xu Qinghuan did not interrupt and listened to Madam Chang continue to speak.
Mrs. Chang said, "The woman's body was covered with scars. Many injuries were caused by fists and feet. Her pupils were bleeding, her nose, yintang, occipital bone, spine, leg bones, and kneecaps were all damaged. The joints of her hands and feet were all broken.
There is a halo of blood at the broken bone, which shows that it was caused before death.
The woman was beaten to death."
Listening to Mrs. Chang's words, Xu Qing'an stood there with his eyes wide open, and then said indignantly, "This is just a beast."
Xu Qinghuan's heart sank. Xie Yun's wife was beaten before she died. This is why Mrs. Chang brought this case to her. Are the two cases related?
Yesterday, Zhenren Zhang had been watching outside the Prince Consort's house, but he didn't notice any move by the Prince Consort. Now something happened again.
Could it be that she thought wrongly?
Although the consort looks suspicious, it actually has nothing to do with the case. The ambitious White Dragon King is someone else.
Xu Qinghuan thought of this and looked at Mrs. Chang, "Where are the remaining people? How were they killed?"
Mrs. Chang said, "All of them had their throats cut, including the two young children."
To be so cruel.
Xu Qinghuan thought carefully. Although the two cases were similar in some ways, they still needed to investigate carefully to see if there was any connection between the two cases and see if there was any relationship between this family and Mrs. Xie.
If a connection between the two is found, the cases can be investigated together.
She had a feeling that if something like this happened at the moment when she was investigating the case, the person might have been angered by her, and there would definitely be more actions to follow.
Xu Qinghuan said, "Let's go to Yizhuang and have a look!"
…
Xu Qinghuan got on the carriage and was about to move forward when a voice came from outside and said, "Is it Miss Xu?"
Xu Qinghuan opened the car curtain and saw someone running quickly and saying, "Miss Xu, you are going out. This servant is a servant of the Wang family, and my wife is here with the seventh lady."
The steward respectfully handed the post in his hand to Meng Lingyun, and then stood there waiting for Xu Qinghuan to speak.
When guests come, they must be polite and considerate.
As soon as Xu Qinghuan got out of the car, he saw Mrs. Seven coming over with a woman in her thirties or forties.
The woman had a kind smile on her face, her eyes lit up when she saw Xu Qinghuan, and before the seventh lady could speak, she said, "This is Miss Xu. After all, she is a female member of the honorable family. She just stood here without saying anything, and her body was full of..."
A little more noble.
Being able to save people from the Japanese is because Miss Xu is willing to take risks alone. When I heard about this, I wanted to see what kind of young lady could have such courage."
The woman said, saluting Xu Qinghuan, "You are so careless, young lady, don't blame me."
Xu Qinghuan stepped forward and returned the courtesy, "Madam, you are so polite."
"You're welcome, you're welcome," Mrs. Wang San said immediately, "The eldest lady is friendly to others."
Seeing such a situation, the Seventh Lady next to her couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Wang Yuchen had behaved differently these days, and the Wang family must have noticed it, so they came to inquire.
After all, there is not a single foolish person in the entire Wang family.
The seventh lady asked, "Where are you going, Miss?"
"I'm going to Yizhuang to have a look." Xu Qinghuan didn't hide anything.
Mrs. Wang San immediately understood that "it was a war, and the charity village was full of ownerless corpses. Many people donated money and materials. Miss Xu must also do good deeds. Since we happened to meet each other, we went with the eldest lady."
Bar."
Xu Qinghuan shook his head, "I want to see the body in Yizhuang."
Mrs. Wang San was shocked.
The seventh wife looked at the third wife Wang, "Does the third wife also want to go together?"
Mrs. Wang San swallowed a gulp. She had only heard that Miss Xu was bold, but she never expected that she would be so bold. But now that she had decided to come, she had to go with her.
