A few days after returning from the incense of Jingming Temple, Qin Yuan set off south with the holy decree, and the right commander of the Jinyi Guard went together, one for the guard, and the other for the supervision.

Although the emperor sent Qin Yuan to do the imperial history and supervise the post-disaster relief project in Jiangnan, he could not rest assured that he had never done such an errand, and Jinyiwei was still the emperor's most trusted person.

What's more, on the day he left Beijing, Xiao Zheng looked indifferent, and he ignored Qin Yuan, which made everyone feel that these two people might not be safe all the way.

Jiang Caiqiong was teaching Hui Zhi to recognize medicinal herbs in the courtyard, and at the same time told her about the recent events: "The prince left Beijing yesterday, and Xiao Zheng was at odds with the prince, heh, they can act." ”

"For this day I will not believe that they are at odds. No matter how indifferent Commander Xiao is, and then ignores his brother, in terms of his relationship with Senior Brother Pei, he will definitely not be like this. ”

Jiang Cai Qiongqi said: "He and Senior Brother Pei, is it possible that there is anything else to do with it?"

Hui Zhi chuckled, nodded and said, "Wu Weihou's current wife Yang is a house-filler, and the original Mrs. Xiao is Xiao Zheng's aunt. It's just that General Xiao's Mansion later fell, and now Concubine Yang is very favored in the palace, and few people remember the former Mrs. Wu Weihou. ”

"I see. Jiang Caiqiong bowed slightly, as if she remembered something, "In the alley outside the courtyard wall of the Hou Mansion, the body of a girl was found. ”

Hui Zhi made a gesture in her hand: "Is it a girl in the house?"

"It's from the Hou Mansion. Jiang Caiqiong frowned slightly, "The housekeeper who came to report said that it was a girl named Lu Nong." ”

Hui Zhi's brows furrowed, and the movements in her hands slowly stopped, as if she was thinking about something.

Jiang Caiqiong couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked, "This girl named Lunong, I heard that she used to be by the fifth girl's side." ”

"That's right. Lu Nong was the person next to the fifth sister before, a girl who served closely. The Su family's spring banquet was attended by her with the fifth sister. Hui Zhi's voice was low.

"The Su family's spring banquet?" Jiang Caiqiong couldn't help but lower her voice, "Could it be related to the incident of the startling horse?"

Hui Zhi nodded, "When the carriage arrived outside the city, I vaguely remembered that the girl had fainted, but now it seems that it may not be." ”

"You mean this girl was pretending to be dizzy at the time?"

"You think, a few days ago, when Pei Yan came to visit Suiping, he brought a restless mother-in-law with him at first glance, surnamed Dai. As soon as this mother-in-law entered the garden, she kept looking at me, as if she wanted to see something wrong with me, but she was first taken away by Grandma Sun for more than an hour, and there was no opportunity to hear the news from Fushoutang. Hui Zhi thought quietly, her voice sounding calm.

"But after the mother-in-law surnamed Dai went back, she must have known some news, otherwise although there were no rumors in the capital, Mrs. Bo Shizi hurriedly gave Ouyang Gongzi and the eldest girl of the Su family a marriage affair, and Mrs. Shizi must have gotten some news, so she would rather offend the Cheng'an Hou Mansion, and would rather claim that the old uncle was unwell, and said what she hoped that her grandchildren would marry as soon as possible and spread out. When Jiang Caiqiong mentioned this, she was indignant.

The hateful sincerity Mrs. Bo Shizi is still the aunt of Huizhi's little sister, and when she heard some news, she was so anxious that she didn't care about it at all, and she didn't even want to go to the house to ask her sister Mrs. Cheng'anhou about the news, and divided it by two to decide the girl of the Su family.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Pei is now in a good position, and he has entered and exited the Wuying Hall of the Cabinet, and everyone learned that he had exterminated a group of bandits in the suburbs of Beijing, and he was young and promising;

"I see, Senior Brother Pei is young and promising, strong in martial arts, and now he is in the palace as a cabinet guard, and he is the identity of a family member, presumably he will be promoted soon, if he takes the road of a military attaché, if he wants to come to a young family in the capital, there are few who can compare with his skills - Senior Brother Pei is better than Ouyang Huan's embroidered pillow, but I don't know how many times better. Jiang Caiqiong looked down on Ouyang Huan very much for no reason.

What else did he say about his childhood sweetheart, what two little guesses, saying that he Ouyang Huan was very happy with Qin Huizhi in his heart. In the end, he didn't listen to his mother's words and let him marry the girl of the Su family, so he decided and didn't say much.

"Why are you talking so far again. Hui Zhi smiled lightly, since her aunt set the Su family's family for Brother Ouyang, Jiang Caiqiong often expressed her dissatisfaction with the sincerity of Bofu.

"But then again, Lu Nong must have known some news at that time, as for how much she knew and how much she said, we don't know, who do you say killed Lu Nong?"

Thinking of the person behind the scenes, Hui Zhi still felt a little upset in her heart.

"If it was someone from the Hou Mansion who did it, since it was in the alley outside the backyard, I am afraid that she was found out if she fled, so she was killed. But if the person who found her was from the Hou Mansion, I am afraid that she would not be allowed to die on the streets. In this way, it must have been her who took the opportunity to escape, and early in the morning she was told how to escape—the butler said that the soil at the root of the wall not far from the corpse was extremely soft, and when it was dug up, it was a newly dug dog hole, from which I think Lu Nong had crawled out. Jiang Caiqiong pondered and thought carefully.

In this way, Lu Nong should have escaped and was killed by the people who picked her up outside. As soon as the words came out, Hui Zhi was a little puzzled: "But since she knows what happened that day, she is an excellent chess piece, and the people who pick her up outside, even if they don't bring her back to plan a good game, they shouldn't kill the killer immediately, right?"

"It's strange to say, even if the person who answered her received an order to kill her in the morning, then she could have thrown her body on the outskirts of Beijing, why should she stay outside the courtyard of the Hou Mansion?" Jiang Caiqiong was also puzzled.

"Is it intended to inform us that there are still moles in the Hou Mansion?"

Between the lightning and flint, Hui Zhi seemed to think of the key to the matter.
