In the gathering of Huixianya, several people looked solemn and listened to Fu Qingliu's words.

"His Royal Highness King Su sent someone to investigate the matter of Qiuwei, and he seems to have some clues, since he has done it, it means that he really suspects. Last time, my uncle was called by him to the house for questioning, and I don't know what he said. Seeing that I'm about to report to Wucheng, I really don't know if it's bad or bad to go at this time. ”

Fu Qingliu's uncle was the governor of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division at this time, and last time Fu Qingliu had proposed to his uncle to go to the Five Cities since he listened to Shen Xi's suggestion, but his uncle agreed and quickly arranged a place for him.

For no reason, Shen Xi remembered what Xie Yan said that day, saying that she had dreamed of Fu Qingliu and asked Fu Qingliu to stay away from his uncle...... Now Fu Qingliu really went to Wucheng and got close to his uncle.

"Shen Da, tell me the truth, does the matter of Qiuwei have anything to do with you? You tell us that we can't be blind when the time comes, and that it's always good for our brothers to discuss something. ”

Shen Xi glanced at Wu Jun who was speaking, then shook his head and said:

"It's okay! If it really matters, then I will at most push the boat with the current, and I will not be able to find it. ”

Everyone was relieved to hear Shen Xi say this, since King Su started to investigate this matter, he would definitely investigate the ugly man, if this matter was related to Shen Xi, then they would have to discuss countermeasures in advance, but if this matter had nothing to do with Shen Xi, then they could calmly sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and see what big tiger skin King Su would pull out in the end.

Shen Ye has repeatedly moved the idea of killing him, then he is also happy to die by himself, he thinks that all the people who do things for him have been cleaned up, and there will be no clues in this world? Shen Xi secretly hooked his lips.

Even if others can't find it, can't he find some way for others to find out?

When they walked out of the Huixian Yaju, everyone walked out, Shen Xi still called Fu Qingliu at the door, the two said a few more words by the door, Fu Qingliu looked at Shen Xi in surprise, and then nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Okay. I listen to you. ”

Shen Xi nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and then turned over and got on the horse.

*****

Zhao Sanbao came back within two days to return to Xie Yan.

"Madam, I have already experienced it. The cause of Aunt Lan's death was suffocation, there were obvious rope marks on her neck, and her body was covered with corpse spots, but she could still see that she had been abused before she was born, and there were wounds in many places, including ...... There! Aunt Lan's maid was drowned, and she was fished up and thrown to the mass grave after she died in the water. ”

Zhao Sanbao still didn't dare to say those words completely in front of Xie Yan without any restraint, but Xie Yan looked at his expression and seemed to have understood, nodded at him, and asked:

"What do you say in the pawnshop?"

Zhao Sanbao immediately replied: "The villain has asked all the more than 20 pawnshops in the capital in the past few days, and there is indeed no one to use them as clothes. However, I think it's the strangest thing that no one thinks about it, and if someone picks up their jewelry or clothes, they have to take them off, but it's strange that there's nothing like this. ”

Xie Yan thought about it, somewhat understood what Zhao Sanbao meant, and said:

"You mean, the things on Aunt Lan's body are likely to still be in the hands of the people in the house?"

Zhao Sanbao nodded and said, "The villain guesses, it should be." Carry the corpse to the mass grave, if you see Aunt Lan and her ornaments, those people will definitely not let go, they will definitely search it before stopping, and because these people know whose things belong to, it is possible that they dare not pawn them at will. ”

Xie Yan also felt that what Zhao Sanbao said was very likely, exhaled, and said to Zhao Sanbao: "You can only secretly check this matter for me, time is not a problem, don't leak the news is the key." ”

Zhao Sanbao also heard from Hu Quan that because a servant woman that Madame was going to investigate died the day after they found out, so Madame told him so, and immediately nodded yes, and then retreated.

Shen Xi came back from outside, and saw Xie Xi holding Kang Ning to play in the yard, a few days ago she asked people to make a swing in the yard, the mother and son were sitting on it, shaking a little, seeing Shen Xi, Xie Xi originally wanted to greet her, but Shen Xi came over and shook her hand, Xie Xi sat on the swing and did not move.

Kang Ning saw Shen Xi, waving his two hands to hug him, and muttered that he didn't know what he was talking about, two days ago, he heard the nurse say that he once had a word 'brother' in his mouth, but it seemed to be a coincidence, and then let him say it, he never said it.

But now seeing Shen Xi coming, Kang Ning suddenly jumped up in the crook of Xie Xi's hand, and a 'Didi' sound came out of his mouth before teething, which surprised Xie Xi At the same time, it also made Shen Xi speed up the pace of coming to him, bent down to look at him, and said anxiously:

"Good son, call again."

Not to mention Shen Xi, even Xie Xi heard him shout for the first time, and it was also a novelty, so she followed Shen Xi and said, "Yes, baby, scream again." ”

Kang Ning slapped his mouth twice, then looked at Xie Xi, and then looked back at Shen Xi, his little butt began to jump up, and his hand went to grab Shen Xi's hair, Shen Xi smiled and took him over, let him ride on his shoulder, and took him to the garden for a walk.

Xie Yan rubbed her arms, feeling that Kang Ning had really weighed a lot in the past two days, and she was not tired from holding it for half an hour in the past, but now she only hugged it for a while, and her arms were a little sore.

Got off the swing and followed the father and son to the garden, and saw that Kangning pulled a flower out of nowhere and held it in his hand, and after looking left and right curiously, he was about to stuff it into his mouth, Xie Yan saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and replaced the flower from Kangning's hand with a small cloth bag.

The couple walked in the garden, talking and laughing all the way, Shen Xi said to Xie Yan:

"The transfer of the eldest brother to the Ministry of Household Servants, probably in a few days, and then in a few months, my father can also come back from Baoding, the cabinet Sun Ge Lao told the old man to return to his hometown, and the saint intends to let the Ministry of Shangshu top Sun Ge Lao's vacancy, and the post of Shangshu will be vacant, and when the end of the year is assessed, as long as the father has some dazzling achievements in Baoding, I am afraid that the position of Shangshu is not a problem."

Xie Yan listened to Shen Xi's words, and didn't know what to say for a while, and after a long time, she said to Shen Xi:

"Husband...... In fact, if it's because of me, you really don't have to deliberately promote them, you have just recognized your ancestors and returned to your ancestors, and you have promoted your brother-in-law and father-in-law all of a sudden, isn't it a bit ...... in the eyes of outsiders?"

Shen Xi reached out and took Xie Yan's hand, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and said:

"What are you thinking about? Even if I recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, but such an official position as the official secretary of the ministry and the servant of the household department is not something that I can promote whoever I want. ”

Xie Yan turned his head to look at his handsome side face like a carving, and said:

"But it can't stop those officials from flattering you, because they are your wife's brother and father, so they look up to them and then promote them exceptionally. This kind of promotion is really bottomless, not to mention, there is no lunch in the world, if you accept their favor, and you don't know how to repay it in the future, it is better to refuse to come now than to be controlled by others at that time. ”

Xie Yan didn't want to embarrass Shen Xi from the bottom of her heart, what kind of position did her father and brother want, they would fight for it themselves, if they relied on such a relationship, no one would be convinced even if they took office, and then they would cause any trouble, but it dragged Shen Xi down and harmed themselves.

Shen Xi smiled: "You really think too much." And I really don't have confidence in my uncle and father-in-law, even if they don't have this relationship with me, their ability to do things is obvious to all, even if they can rise so fast, and I have a little bit to do with it, but it is not absolute, if they themselves are wine bags and rice bags, how can they come to this day? ”

Although Shen Xi's words were comforting to Xie Yan, Xie Yan still understood that there was a little bit of relationship in her husband's mouth, that is, it had a lot to do with it, her father had only been in the officialdom for ten years, and he had been working all the way to achieve the position of the Ministry of Ministers, but in this short period of three years, he was promoted to two levels, from the deputy director to the local department, and then to Shangshu, these two levels Some people may not be able to cross in their lives, but her father took just three years to come over, such an experience, Who would believe it if there was no one behind him.

Not to mention her brother Xie Shao, it has only been two or three years since the household department was named, and as soon as the household department took over the issue of Beitang Triumphant soldiers, and indirectly led to such a major event, His Royal Highness King Fu was involved, but if this matter is investigated, my brother has no one to support him behind his back, with his identity and background, how can he not fall but rise?

Xie Yan's eyes couldn't help but look at Shen Xi, only to feel that his side eyes looked even more handsome and dusty like carvings under the afterglow of the sunset, as if he had a halo that made Xie Xi fascinated, Kang Ning's two little fat legs drooped on Shen Xi's shoulders, Shen Xi was afraid that the hairpin would poke Kang Ning, so he had already untied the crown of his head, leaving only a bun tied with a black ribbon, Kang Ning grabbed Shen Xi's hair bun with both hands, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Without looking back, Shen Xi knew that the woman next to him was looking at him, reached out and hooked her shoulder, and pulled her into his arms, Xie Xi was surprised at first, and then looked around, and after making sure that no one saw it, he blushed and let Shen Xi hug his shoulder, at this time, silence is better than sound, Xie Xi's heart seems to be filled with sweetness, this is the feeling she has never felt after two lives, the feeling of being pampered from head to toe, and then to every hair strand is really beautiful.

And the man who gave her such a full sense of security was either someone else, or her husband, her master, in the previous life, she missed him by mistake, and in this life, she will not miss it no matter what!
