The silk ribbon around Xu Qinghuan's waist was like a begonia flower that had just bloomed, hanging in the air and moving in the wind.
Song Chengxuan frowned and was about to reach out to untie the silk ribbon. This silk ribbon was woven with individual silk threads and looked very complicated. He had never been patient with such trivial matters and was about to take out his jade pendant.
When she came down to settle the matter happily, she saw her slender hand reaching over. When the dagger she held in her hand moved, the silk ribbon was severed from it.
Xu Qinghuan took back the dagger, raised his chin slightly, turned around and disappeared from Song Chengxuan's sight.
"What a pity for such a good thing."
Zhang Zhenren, who was hiding next to him, slowly walked forward and felt pain in his heart when he looked at the silk ribbon: "Ordinary female relatives feel distressed when they are dirty, but this female doll is so cruel that she cut her hands off with a knife.
I'd better stay away from her in the future, because if she catches her at any time, I won't show any mercy."
Song Chengxuan looked at the chattering Master Zhang, who forced a smile on his face and said, "I still want to go. That girl already knows that I am working for the young master."
Song Chengxuan said: "This is more convenient."
Zhang Zhenren looked at the direction Xu Qinghuan was leaving and sighed: "Are those two predictions accurate? We won't really fall into her hands in the end, right?
The Taoist is guilty of Tai Sui this year. Should he go to a temple to pray for a Taoist talisman to wear? I don’t know which temple nearby is efficacious."
Song Chengxuan said nothing, but his narrowed eyes were as sharp as a knife blade.
The Taoist was startled, immediately applied oil on the soles of his feet, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
…
Xu Qinghuan returned to the carriage, changed his clothes, closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed that the Marquis of Song, who was a talented person in the court, suddenly turned into an eye-catching white-fronted tiger, biting everyone he met, chasing the courtiers and fleeing in all directions.
.
She picked up the bow next to her and was about to shoot the tiger, but found that there was no arrow on the bow. At this moment, the white-fronted tiger turned around and saw her, leaping towards her.
It was already noon when Xu Qinghuan woke up again, with some light sweat on his forehead. Although he had that strange dream, he finally had a comfortable nap and his mind was much clearer.
Xu Qinghuan got up and found that there was an extra heater in his arms.
"After a long night of fire, my clothes were all cold when I came back," Feng Chu was quite dissatisfied. "After I lay down, I huddled there. My stomach must have been uncomfortable again. When I returned to Beijing, I still felt uncomfortable.
Make a small portable heater and wear it around your waist to avoid hardship."
She had a bad appetite since she was a child, and her mother asked Fengchu to watch her eat and not eat more snacks and snacks. Her body was getting better and better, but Fengchu was growing stronger and stronger.
"I won't feed you roasted soybeans to my lady in the future."
Xu Qinghuan drank the hot tea handed over by Feng Chu and listened to Feng Chu's chatter. His expression, which was tense because of the case, now relaxed a lot.
"What's going on outside?" Xu Qinghuan asked, "Where is my brother?"
Feng Chu said: "Someone is coming from the yamen. The prince also went over to take a look. If there is any news, he can tell the eldest lady."
Xu Qinghuan nodded.
"Has the eldest lady gotten up?" the mother in charge outside whispered, "Sir Sun Chong would like to say a few words to the eldest lady."
Xu Qinghuan changed clothes and went to see Sun Chong.
As if he had lost the battle, Sun Chong stood there dejectedly, with the black ash on his face still unwiped: "Miss, is that corpse really unrecognizable?"
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "But except for Mrs. Guangping Hou, everyone who was in the posthouse that day came out in good condition..."
When Xu Qinghuan said this, Sun Chong became even more sad.
"Did anyone blame Mr. Sun?"
Sun Chong nodded and shook his head: "Although Master Wang didn't say it, I can see that he was very disappointed. Originally, Master Wang trusted me and handed the case over to me. Who knew that after finally solving the case, the spy died?
.”
"Don't worry," Xu Qinghuan said, "We all heard what Mrs. Guangping Hou said at that time. We can go and testify if necessary."
Sun Chong's face looked better now.
Xu Qinghuan asked: "Where is Mr. Wang now? Why did he come?"
Sun Chong immediately explained: "The eldest lady asked us to follow him all the way that day. As long as the murderer strikes again, we will definitely catch him. This is a good idea, but it is too risky. After all, the prefect is not at ease, so he takes the people
I secretly protected the eldest lady. Before I had time to tell the eldest lady that day, a fire broke out in the post house... After Mrs. Guangping Hou died, I reported the whole matter to the prefect. The prefect was extremely shocked when he heard it.
We have already taken some manpower to check the situation of the post house."
In the direction of the post house, you can still see a few wisps of green smoke drifting in the wind.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Let me go see the prefect!"
…
There were two clear tears on Yi Cheng's face, which was darkened by smoke.
Wang Yun patted Yi Cheng on the shoulder: "I will write a document to explain the matter. Someone set the fire deliberately, and it was mixed with kerosene. Even if I give you more people, it still won't help. Fortunately, no one else was hurt. You have tried your best.
, I can only be blamed. If I had been more prepared and had people keep a closer eye on the suspect, this kind of mistake would not have happened."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. If the imperial court were filled with officials like you, the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be just around the corner." Yi Cheng immediately bowed and saluted. Ordinary officials would like to let their subordinates bear the blame. Only Mr. Wang can clearly explain right and wrong.
Chu.
Wang Yun ordered the postmaster to stand up: "Rebuilding here will require a lot of work for you. We must pack everything up before autumn. Local officials must report taxes to the Ministry of Household Affairs. When passing by the posthouse, they must supply supplies. It's a shame to miss them."
Incredible."
After sending the Yi Cheng away, Wang Yun put his hands over his hands and looked at the mess in front of him, sighing deeply: "There is no suspect, and the spy is unwilling to say anything. There are still many unknowns in this case, how to solve it.
"
"Sir, Miss Xu is here."
Hearing this, Wang Yun turned his head.
Xu Qinghuan and Sun Chong stepped forward to salute.
Wang Yundao said: "Miss Xu made great arrangements and finally caught the suspect. In the end, we were negligent." When he said this, his eyes were full of desolation. "The heroic Marquis of Guangping made great contributions to the Zhou Dynasty, but he was hit."
Duo Gansi’s beauty trap, how will the Marquis handle himself when he knows the truth.”
Xu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "Are you familiar with Marquis Guangping, sir?"
Wang Yun nodded: "Of course, when I was sent to Duogansi as an envoy, Guangpinghou was guarding the border in the northwest. I was able to escape from Duogansi thanks to the help of Guangpinghou.
When I think about it, it all seems like yesterday.”
Xu Qinghuan continued: "I heard that because the peace talks failed and both sides raised troops, Lord Wang Yun was trapped in Duogansi and must bear the humiliation."
Wang Yun thought about those days, his eyes deepened slightly: "They wanted to get more news about Da Zhou from me. I knew their thoughts, so I tried every means to entangle them. Fortunately, no one died that year."
"You are a good official."
How could a good official who is fair and honest and devoted to the people use people to commit murders?
"Sir, there may be something wrong with the Southeast Song family."
Zhou Yue's voice came from behind Xu Qinghuan.
Someone stood up from the ruins of the post house, it was Li Xu.
