Mrs. Chang arrived a little later when she needed to prepare the utensils. When she walked into the house, Qing Huan had already adapted to the environment in the house.
Mrs. Chang nodded to Qing Huan and began to examine the corpse in front of her.
"There are obvious scars from the chin to the forehead. Not only was the entire face peeled off, but the nose bones and cheeks were also damaged."
Xu Qinghuan said: "This is someone deliberately destroying his appearance."
Mrs. Chang continued: "My hands and feet were also chopped off. These are the scars after death. There is a deep wound on the left chest... It looks like..."
"It's an arrow wound," Sun Chong presented the feathered arrow in his hand to Mrs. Chang, "This is the feathered arrow used by the government."
Mrs. Chang picked up the arrow and inspected it carefully, then nodded.
Sun Chong said: "The prefect met a spy on his way to Fengxiang. The guards around him fought with the spy. The spy was injured by an arrow and was rescued. When the master arrived in Fengxiang, he encountered the Cao family's case. The master was afraid of delaying the case, so he put all his hands on it.
In this case, only a few people were sent to secretly search for the injured spy, and the body was only found yesterday."
Mrs. Chang said: "The wound on the back is the fatal mark."
"That's right," Sun Chong said, "The spy was not killed by the arrow. The person who took him away saw that he was too injured to escape and killed him. He cut off his face, hands and feet, and threw the body in the woods.
"
Mrs. Chang covered the body with coarse cloth again.
Xu Qingan, who was about to faint from the smoke, protected Xu Qinghuan and walked out of the house as if he had been granted amnesty.
After standing in the yard and taking a few long breaths, Xu Qing'an said: "These people treat their companions like this, which shows that they are cruel and ruthless." As he said, he looked at Xu Qinghuan worriedly, "It is a long way from Fengxiang to the capital, otherwise I will send someone back to Jingduo
Bring some people here, and it won't be too late for us to set off.
If it is really those rebels... they will definitely attack you."
Sun Chong nodded: "That's what my lord means. Someone is watching in secret. I'm afraid there will be dangers along the way. If the eldest lady stays in Fengxiang, at least there will be someone in the government office to take care of her."
What Sun Chong said makes sense. Safety is the most important thing when taking your mother with you on this journey.
Xu Qinghuan said: "I will go back and tell my mother before I make a decision."
Sun Chong said: "This is the best."
Xu Qinghuan left in the car, and Zhou Yue walked out from the corner of the yard to Sun Chong: "Fortunately, Miss Xu is willing to listen to the advice, otherwise I would be hesitant about whether I should protect them or not help them. If they make a mistake, I will inevitably
Blame yourself, please help, they don’t know good people.”
Sun Chong patted Zhou Yue on the shoulder: "Even if the Zhou family and the Xu family are related, Miss Xu is a female family member after all. She has to care about the defense between men and women, so you don't have to worry too much."
Zhou Yue was in trouble and couldn't explain why she was so indifferent between men and women, she simply regarded him as an unwanted object and despised him.
Zhou Yue returned to the room, and Li Xu was reading the autopsy document in his hand.
Zhou Yue said: "Jiulang, what should we do? Whether I go or leave you alone, I will follow you."
Li Xu did not raise his head: "Pack your bags, we will hit the road tomorrow."
Zhou Yue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. As a result, she would no longer be able to travel with the Xu family. Miss Xu...and Mrs. Chang could only see each other again in the future.
"She will leave too." Li Xu saw through Zhou Yue's thoughts.
Zhou Yue was surprised: "Why."
Li Xu raised his head and his eyes became far-reaching: "Because if it were me, I would choose this way."
…
Xu Qinghuan returned to Xu's house and was preparing to see her mother.
"Miss, Miss Zhao is here."
Xu Qing happily walked a few steps and saw Zhao Muwei.
Zhao Muwei is two years older than her, slightly taller, and her eyebrows are less graceful and more heroic and sharp. However, this is just appearance. Mu Wei is much gentler than her. After the Marquis of Guangping handed over military power in his previous life, Mu Wei
Wei married and went to the south, where she lived a smooth life with her husband and children.
Mu Wei once said: "If I were you and didn't have the courage to choose Li Xu, I wouldn't want to live too hard. It would be better if I was a rich man."
It can be seen that the Marquis of Guangping loved Wei from the bottom of his heart and knew his daughter very well, otherwise he would not have chosen such a marriage.
"I didn't know that mother came to Xu's house," Zhao Muwei paused slightly as she said this. "Probably because I persuaded mother not to get married, she was annoyed with me, so she made this arrangement."
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing: "You don't want me to be your sister-in-law?"
Zhao Muwei said: "Of course I do, but my brother's mind is not at home. Like my father, he only wants to fight abroad. I can see clearly how my mother has survived these years. I don't even want to live such a life. How can I treat you like this?"
Drag it here."
After all, it was Mu Wei who understood her. Xu Qing said with a smile: "Mrs. Guangping Hou is so virtuous that no one else can match her. If Guangping Hou wants to marry the prince like this, I'm afraid he will be disappointed."
Hearing this, Zhao Muwei's eyes flashed slightly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end.
"You still refuse to say a bad word about her, but you are really her good daughter."
A cold voice came, and Zhao Muwei's face froze and he immediately turned around and said, "Second brother, what are you talking about?"
Mr. Zhao stepped forward with a gloomy face and handed the brocade box in his hand to Zhao Muwei. Xu Qinghuan recognized that it was the one that was delivered to her that day.
Inside is a pearl hairpin.
Zhao Muwei said: "This...isn't this the one that my grandmother gave to my mother? The thief came in that day and stole it. Could it be that the second brother found the thief?"
"Guess where I found this hairpin?" Mr. Zhao said in a deep voice.
Zhao Muwei shook his head.
"Mama Yu, who is by my mother's side, is hiding on Zhuangzi."
Zhao Muwei was surprised: "Mother Yu actually colluded with the thieves."
Mr. Zhao looked at Xu Qinghuan silently.
"The second master is not suspicious of my mother," Xu Qinghuan said at the right time. "The second master thinks that Mrs. Guangping Hou ordered her servants to hide these things."
Zhao Muwei opened his eyes wide: "How can you doubt mother."
Mr. Zhao's eyes became deeper: "Because I saw someone entering and leaving my mother's house before. I kept silent and kept staring at the movements in my mother's room. Finally one day I discovered the whereabouts of that person again, so I
He called the nursing home to arrest him, but unfortunately there were so many people but he could not be caught.
I told my grandmother about this, and she called my mother to ask..."
Zhao Muwei said: "So that day when I opened the boxes and boxes at home to take inventory, my mother discovered that something was missing from the house, and everyone knew that there was a thief in the house."
Mr. Zhao said: "That's not a thief at all. That person just came to find my mother."
Zhao Muwei said: "Second brother, don't be so arbitrary. This matter is not trivial. If someone is wronged..."
"She has been hiding at home for so many years, but her tail always shows up," Mr. Zhao said, "I will definitely catch her."
Zhao Muwei was panicking, his hands and feet were cold, and he didn't know what to do.
"Miss Xu," said Mr. Zhao, "I want to have a word with you alone."
Zhao Muwei was waiting aside, and Mr. Zhao bowed and saluted Xu Qinghuan: "That day, I asked someone to deliver a letter to the eldest lady, because I wanted her to see me. Now that I think about it, I am so anxious that I am going to apologize to the eldest lady.
."
"Do you want to talk about something related to the Crown Prince?" Xu Qinghuan didn't want to talk in circles.
Mr. Zhao was stunned for a moment: "After all, I can't hide it from the eldest lady," he paused, "I probably know why my father proposed marriage to the Xu family."
This is exactly what Qing Huan wants to know.
Mr. Zhao said: "Because I told my father that the person who sneaked into my mother's room that day... was my brother."
…
In the courtyard of Guangpinghou Mansion, Mrs. Guangpinghou was carefully sewing the boots in her hands.
"Madam," Yu's mother stepped forward and said, "We have to leave tomorrow, so you'd better make arrangements early."
"Don't worry," Mrs. Guangping Hou put the boots in front of her eyes and looked at them again and again, "doesn't it look beautiful to you?"
Mother Yu's eyes were a little sore for some reason: "Madam's needlework is impeccable."
Mrs. Hou of Guangping said: "Mom always listens to what I say."
Mother Yu lowered her head for a while and seemed to have made up her mind: "Madam, what are you going through? You know very well that Mr. Hou's illness cannot be cured and he has only a short time left... Why do you need to take action at this time..."
Mrs. Guangping Hou raised her head and relaxed her frowned eyebrows: "That's why I have to do this."
The window reflected her graceful silhouette.
…
Xu Qinghuan made up his mind to go to Beijing together with the female family members of the Hou family in Guangping.
Both families were nobles, and although they were prepared to travel lightly, the motorcade was still so majestic that it attracted people to come and watch.
The carriage and horses traveled all day and finally stopped at the post house.
"What day is it today," the official of the post house came forward and said, "A young master came just now... Fortunately, the post house has enough rooms, but... it has to be squeezed in by the servants who are accompanying him."
"It doesn't matter," Mrs. Anyi Hou said, "it is inevitable to suffer some hardships outside, so this is the best."
Xu Qinghuan got out of the car and saw a green-covered carriage parked not far away.
"Mom, let me help you go into the house to rest first."
After serving Mrs. Anyihou, Xu Qinghuan walked out of the house.
"I don't know which family the young master belongs to, he is really grand," Xu Qing'an said, "His entourage rides only the best horses from a thousand."
Xu Qing'an couldn't help rubbing his palms as he spoke: "I wonder if he is willing to sell me a horse."
"Brother, you can ask," Xu Qinghuan said, waving to Master Zhang, "Master, I would like to ask you to divine for me."
Zhang Zhenren had a flattered look on his face. He didn't expect that Girl Doll would take the initiative to talk to him one day: "What do you want from Girl Doll?"
"I have someone in mind," Xu Qinghuan smiled slightly. "Help me calculate whether he will catch me first or I will catch him first."
