Zhou Xinmiao's guards, sure enough, were found dead in the deserted ravine in the south, that area is very remote, herdsmen rarely go there, but there are a lot of wild wolves and desert foxes, when the corpse was pulled up, it was already unrecognizable, if you don't recognize it, I'm afraid you won't recognize it at all. Facts once again proved that Qin Daixin's calculation was not wrong, these people died unexpectedly, and indeed died in the south.

Zhou Xinmiao is distressed, these people all came from Dayong with the old prince, they have all the skills, and they are all loyal, and if you die, there will be one less! A person with such a ability, without ten or eight years, can't be cultivated at all, and now she is employing people, I can't let these people have ten more doppelgangers, so that they can serve themselves with one to ten, but it doesn't matter if the second prince sends someone to visit, she will die four or five subordinates in one breath, this is digging her heart!

Although Zhou Xinmiao was distressed, he also knew that this account was not clear, the second prince was powerful, and the sixth prince was not his opponent at the moment, so how could he stand up for himself for a few people! Besides, the sixth prince himself was very wary of her, and according to his meaning, he was afraid that he wished that these people were all dead!

Speaking of which, they are all powerless and powerless, and they can't keep people.

Zhou Xinmiao was so distressed that her liver trembled, so she simply credited this account to the second prince's head.

Within a few days, rumors of a haunting of the Dadar Ministry were spreading.

At first, it was just a person who bumped into a black shadow floating around in the middle of the night, and was frightened, but then it progressed to the livestock was also affected, and I heard that some evil spirits escaped from the underworld, and released resentment everywhere, and even the animals noticed it, and they became restless at night. I was so frightened that I didn't even drink water, and I scrambled to run out, as if I was going to run for my life......

When Qin Daixin knew the news, she couldn't be happy, this kind of rumor can only be made up by a lady like Zhou Xinmiao who has read a lot of small talk books.

She didn't believe it, but someone did.

The herders of the steppe are rustic. Religious. They can't read and write, they don't know much about big things, but they talk about ghosts and gods. But they were in awe. Everyone is afraid of evil spirits, and they are even more afraid that these evil spirits will come to harm their cattle and sheep, which are their lifeblood, if they are all eaten by evil spirits. How are they going to live?

Dadar was full of rumors for a while, and people were panicked. It was better during the day. At night, there was not even the slightest laughter on the grassland, and the scene of everyone drinking around the fire and singing was no longer seen.

There was something evil about Dadar. It has become the most lively topic on the grassland.

Many people do not believe in evil, and the good deeds even come to Dadar with great swagger to see what this rumored evil ghost looks like.

The original intention of Zhou Xinmiao and Mangetai. I just want Dadar to become a lonely city, and then cover up the iron ore matter. If these people come to join in the fun, the iron ore matter will leak out sooner or later, which is contrary to the original intention of the two, how can they let this kind of thing happen?

As a result, those who came to Dadar without exception had an accident, or someone suddenly got a strange disease, the medicine stone was ineffective, or they died inexplicably and violently, and the death was horrific and unbearable, which made people shudder!

The news of Dadar's haunting became even more violent, and no one dared to set foot in Dadar again, for fear that he would be haunted by evil spirits and die like those people.

Zhou Xinmiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the sorrow between her eyebrows receded a lot.

Xiangmeng was waiting on the side, and seemed to feel the relaxation on her body, and her heart was a little more comfortable. Recently, it hasn't been very peaceful, and she can't remember how many nights she has kept her eyes open until dawn. However, once the qiē has passed, the poison in her body has been cleared, Sanger is dead, and the matter of Dadar Iron Mine seems to have progressed, and even the princess's mood has improved!

It's just wonderful.

Xiangmeng made a cup of hot tea, sent it to the desk, and said, "Princess, drink a cup of tea and slow down." ”

Zhou Xinmiao put down the account book in his hand and said, "It's okay." She let out a long sigh before taking a sip from her teacup.

Xiangmeng only said: "Princess, in your opinion, does the second prince believe in the haunting of Dadar?" ”

Zhou Xinmiao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You girl, why did you think to ask this?" ”

Xiangmeng said worriedly: "The slave is afraid, if there is another incident, when will the princess be leisurely!" She looked at Zhou Xinmiao's dark green eyes, and said: "At this time in previous years, the princess only needed to preside over the middle feed in the mansion, and she was the busiest before and after the New Year, but she was only with the stewards of the Zhuangzi and the shopkeepers on the shop to reconcile the accounts, write and write greetings, give New Year's gifts, hold a banquet or something, where is it like now, when you are busy for a few days and nights!" The slave is worried that your body will not be able to stand it. ”

Zhou Xinmiao has indeed lost a lot of weight recently, and the meat on both cheeks has decreased a lot.

"Really?" Zhou Xinmiao was stunned, "It's almost the New Year?" In her memory, it seems that there is no such thing as the New Year, but thinking about the past, as soon as she enters the wax moon, she is about to start this New Year.

Xiangmeng said: "Princess, today is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month. "This year, I haven't even had Laba, let alone drink Laba porridge.

"Really? I forgot. Zhou Xinmiao muttered a few words in a daze, and her eyes became confused.

What was she doing at this time of year?

Xiangmeng felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid also just remembered it." ”

When Zhou Xinmiao heard this, she smiled and said, "Forget it, follow the customs of the locals, what year is not the year." Wana has a torch festival, and there is still some time before the serious day! ”

"Yes, yes, it's the slave and the maid who are troublesome."

The mood of both the master and the servant became delicate because of this small episode.

"By the way, did Saybach send someone back to talk?" Saibach was investigating the collapse of the iron mine, although the matter was led by the people of the sixth prince, but Zhou Xinmiao didn't want to be blind, so he quietly asked Saibach to investigate this matter secretly.

"Back to the princess, Lord Baihu didn't send someone over to deliver the message, so there must be no progress!"

And that's to be expected.

Zhou Xinmiao picked up the tea bowl and said softly: "It's cold, everything is buried, where is the evidence so easy to find?" ”

"The princess said very well, the last time the slave maid heard from the people under the hands of the hundred households, the mine collapsed into shape, and the previous efforts were all in vain, and the miners, many people died, and the living ones were only some coolies, and the people who were found by the sixth prince in terms of mining were all buried in it." Xiangmeng said very carefully, remembering the face of the sixth prince a few days ago, she couldn't help but shiver.

It's no wonder that the sixth prince lost his temper, and nearly half a year's hard work and efforts came to naught in an instant.

Zhou Xinmiao also secretly said unlucky, these iron ores are mined, but they are all of great use, and they are about to be done, but who knows that they will come to disaster!

"That's right." She suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but lower her voice and ask Xiangmeng: "How is the investigation of things in Bianwu Town?" ”

Xiangmeng's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but say: "Princess, none of our people have come back." The slave and maid sent three groups of people back and forth, but they found nothing. ”

Zhou Xinmiao thought for a while, and then said: "There is no wind in the air, the more this is the case, the more suspicious it is." ”

"The princess means ......"

Zhou Xinmiao remembered what Sanger said that day, her brows couldn't help frowning, and her lips pursed into a stubborn straight line.

Did that person really appear in Bianwu Town? I heard that there was also a woman with me.

Zhou Xinmiao's heart was depressed, and she couldn't help but think of her teenage years, her admiration and love were given to such a man, so that his figure seemed to be engraved on her heart forever, and it was difficult to shake it off and erase it. At the beginning, if there was no such thing, if there was no Zhou family, he should still stay by his side at this time, right?

Zhou Xinmiao sighed and forced the tears in her eyes back.

The two most unreliable words in the world are if......

A qiē has passed.

As soon as Xiangmeng saw Zhou Xinmiao's expression, she knew that she was afraid that she would think of that person again.

"Princess......" Xiangmeng didn't know how to persuade her, she felt that the princess understood everything, but she was just a little unwilling.

Zhou Xinmiao smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine." I think back then, if it weren't for my father and my brother forcing me, where would I have what happened now! Everyone thinks that I am the woman who hates the poor and loves the rich, and is afraid of being implicated, but I don't want to, from beginning to end, many things are not my own decision. Zhou Xinmiao's tone was very melancholy, a woman is a pawn of a family, even if she becomes a princess, isn't many things still at the mercy of the Zhou family?

"Princess, don't mention the past, now you should think about how to deal with the sixth prince! And Shizi, well, he's always like this, and it's not appropriate to talk about it! ”

"How could this concubine not know that he was so inappropriate! But look at him, he looks dejected all day long, either drinking or watching singing and dancing performances, and he refuses to spend any time on business...... "Zhou Xinmiao was angry yesterday, and couldn't help but say: "The mud can't support the wall." ”

Xiangmeng knew that she was angry, and immediately persuaded: "The princess is cautious." Anyway, the prince is also the leader of this tribe, the old prince is gone, the position of the chief is vacant, presumably not long after, the prince will become the chief, and you will also become the lady, and at that time, it will be justified. Princess, wait! ”

Xiangmeng can figure out what Zhou Xinmiao doesn't know, she nodded, put down the cup in her hand, and continued to look through the account book in her hand.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report, "Princess, the sixth prince is here, with a team of light horses, only two or three miles away from our camp." (To be continued)
