Ye Xing's arrival can be said to have played a role in turning the tide.

The chaos that was about to break out was stabilized by him, and Mrs. Yiye's body was sent to the yamen's room.

Zhan Zhao also ran out of the inn and told the county magistrate of Xu County about the situation.

The rank of the county magistrate of Xu County is far from being as high as Zhan Zhao, of course, he listens to everything, and the ice coffin is prepared in the room, and the body of Mrs. Yiye is placed.

The whole process, Zhanzhao did it in front of Ye Xing's eyes, and the two didn't communicate much, but they had a tacit understanding.

Bai Yutang didn't introduce them either, but Ye Xing seemed to know who Dao Zhanzhao was.

When everything was done, Ye Xing stood by the coffin, helplessly looking at Mrs. Yiye's remains.

Zhan Zhao walked to the outside of the room and looked inside.

Beside him, Bai Yutang walked up.

Zhan Zhao looked at him.

Bai Yutang patted him lightly on the shoulder, signaling him - there is no need to worry.

It didn't take long for the carriage and horse of the big man outside to come, and Gongsun took the little fourth son, carrying a small medicine box, ready to conduct an autopsy.

Master Bao and Master Pang got out of the car, Zhao Pu also got out of the car, and in a carriage behind him, the curtain was lifted, and Yin Lanci and Lu Xue'er walked down.

At the door, many people were watching.

Yin Lanci and Lu Xue'er came to the yamen voluntarily to cooperate with the investigation, and they said that before the cause of Mrs. Yiye's death was ascertained, they were the main suspects, and they could be placed under surveillance in the yamen and leave after the suspicion was cleared.

The people in the rivers and lakes looked at each other, and the development of this matter was beyond everyone's expectations. In other words, it's the result of reasoning!

Yin Lanci and Lu Xue'er, unless they are willing, no one can let them come to the yamen, but Ye Xing is very reasonable, so the two seniors also give him face. The so-called people respect me for a foot, I respect people, and the rivers and lakes are not called rivers and lakes by shouting and shouting and killing.

Gongsun and several Langzhong servants entered the room and began a careful autopsy.

Everyone was waiting at the door.

Bai Yutang sat at the table drinking tea, Zhanzhao was standing at the door of the room, and standing beside him was Ye Xing.

About half an hour later, Gongsun and the others walked out.

A few servants bowed their hands to Master Bao, "Mrs. Yiye was poisoned to death." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Master Bao frowned, "What kind of poison may have been found?" How is poisoning? When did you die? ”

Several Lang Zhong and Gong Zuo, including Mr. Gongsun, apparently reached a consensus.

"We first examined Mrs. Ichiba's body, and found that she had no external or internal injuries, and it looked like she had died of natural causes." Gongsun said, "But after careful inspection, I found that there was a very slight wound on Mrs. Yiye's fingertips, which seemed to be a new injury, as if it had been scratched by some sharp blade. ”

Everyone frowned.

"There is a little residue of poison around the wound, and what kind of poison it is still needs to be verified." Chen Langzhong, the best old man in Tianfu, said to Bao Zheng, "We want to do a test." ”

Everyone was waiting to see what the test was.

At this time, Gongsun asked Ye Xing, "Young helper, can you catch a mouse." ”

Ye Xing thought about it for a while, and asked his men to get a mouse over.

The rat was kept in a cage and moved around.

One of them held a silver needle and said, "This silver needle has the poison left on Mrs. Yiye's finger yesterday. As he spoke, he pricked the mouse.

The crowd waited, and after about a stick of incense, the rat suddenly fell asleep and did not move. It felt as if he was just asleep, but when he looked again, he saw that the rat was dead.

Lang Zhong bowed his hand to Lord Bao, "Mrs. Yiye died of poisoning, not external injuries, and the result we came to is that Mrs. Yiye was poisoned and died of poisoning last night when her fingers were cut by a highly poisonous thing." ”

Master Bao looked at Ye Xing.

Ye Xing nodded and said, "In other words, my master was plotted to death last night when he was at the inn...... The one who was suspicious was the people in the inn last night. ”

Lord Bao nodded.

Ye Xing sighed, "I also ask Lord Bao to investigate this matter thoroughly and find out the real culprit who killed my master and tried to use my Ye Sect to provoke disputes between the two factions of the righteous path in the rivers and lakes." ”

Bao Zheng nodded, this young man's eyes were clear and distinguishing right from wrong, he admired it very much, nodded in agreement, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Since Mrs. Zhan's suspicion has been ruled out, I also ask Zhan's guards to be responsible for investigating this matter, find out the real culprit, and return justice to the deceased." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, his mother and Bai Yutang's mother suspicions were ruled out, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Xing suddenly looked around, and asked Zhan Zhao with some curiosity, "May I ask which one is the sick scholar Wu Yijiao?" ”

Huang Yuelin spread her hands, "The sick scholar didn't come." ”

"I didn't come, there are some things I've always wanted to ask him." Ye Xing said with some regret, "Didn't my master's father-in-law die at his hands back then. ”

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "No. ”

Zhuge Lu Yi knew more about what happened back then, and told Ye Xing what happened.

Ye Xing was a little puzzled, "What has he been doing for so many years, and he hasn't made it clear?" It hurt my master to hate him to the bone. ”

Huang Yuelin smiled, "That scholar is afraid of trouble." “

Ye Xing frowned slightly.

On the side, Zhan Zhao muttered, "He may think that it is better for your master to hate him than to hate his own father-in-law." ”

Ye Xing looked at Zhan Zhao, was silent for a long time, and nodded, "I understand." ”

Bai Yutang glanced at Ye Xing, and happened to be seen by Zhan Zhao for his actions, and he was inexplicably a little puzzled - the white mouse looked a little strange.

Ye Xing stood up and asked a few Dharma protectors under him, "What do you think?" Whether to continue to fight with the Red Cherry Village, or to find the real culprit. ”

Several Dharma protectors are older than Ye Xing, and they are not brainless, and they all said, "Everything is up to the young master's decision." ”

Ye Xing nodded, "It's okay to leave a few people to guard the spirit, and all the others will return to the Yiye Sect to appease the sect members and explain the situation, don't be used, the master is no longer there, and we must keep the inheritance she left behind." ”

"Yes!" All the people of the Yiye Sect were evacuated in an orderly manner.

Everyone nodded secretly, Ye Xing withdrew all the people from the Yiye Sect, which was equivalent to not giving the real murderer a chance to use them, which can be said to be a decisive decision! Be assertive!

Gongsun said, "Why don't we go to the inn to check, the source of Mrs. Yiye's poisoning is there." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, "I'll go with you." ”

Bai Yutang was also going, but Ye Xing waved his hand at him, "Brother Bai, you should be exempt." ”

Bai Yutang subconsciously looked at Zhanzhao.

Lu Xue'er on the side also nodded, "Zhanzhao's investigation is a purely official affair, those Jianghu people have nothing to say, and it will become complicated if you go." ”

Bai Yutang was powerless, so in order to avoid suspicion and not give others a chance to stir up trouble, he had to remain neutral.

"It's not like you can't help." Zhuge Lu Yi gently tugged Bai Yutang, "Leave the name check to Zhao, come and visit you secretly." ”

Bai Yutang looked at Zhuge Lu Yi, "How do you make a secret visit?" ”

Zhuge Lu Yi smiled and beckoned to him, "Come with me." ”

After speaking, he took Bai Yutang and left.

Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang glanced at each other, Lin Yehuo's identity is also very sensitive, he is the representative of the Western Regions martial arts, if he is mixed in, it is estimated that it will be more complicated, and he is also Wusha's apprentice, so he also followed Bai Yutang and them to make an unannounced visit.

Zhao Pu wanted to follow Gongsun, so he took the little fourth son, and Zhanzhao Yexing and them, and went to the inn.

The yamen came to investigate this time, so the dynasty Ma Han Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were in front, and Zhao Pu naturally had a lot of people around him to protect him, and he was there, and the people in the rivers and lakes were not easy to make.

At the back of the line, Zhan Zhao and Ye Xing walked side by side.

There was no one else around the two, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhan Zhao walked for a while, and suddenly looked back, his brows furrowed - that feeling came again! The feeling of someone staring at me in the dark! Those ill-intentioned eyes followed from Kaifeng to Xu County, what was going on? The most suspicious thing is that Bai Yutang is not here today, and when he was with Bai Yutang a few times before, he found that he was only himself today, and he was next to Ye Xing, who met for the first time...... So it can also be explained that the resentment in that gaze is simply aimed at himself!

There are so many people outside the world that it's impossible to tell the difference. Zhan Zhao felt that gaze was very cautious, at least every time he appeared, there were many people around.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xing asked Zhanzhao.

Zhan Zhao came back to his senses and asked Ye Xing, "You don't feel it?" ”

Ye Xing was puzzled, "What do you feel?" ”

"Uh......" Zhanzhao wanted to speak, but that gaze disappeared, and the feeling of being stared at quickly disappeared.

Zhan Zhao frowned and shook his head.

Ye Xing continued, "Actually, I've always wanted to meet you. ”

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned, came back to his senses from his distracted state, and looked at Ye Xing with some puzzlement.

Ye Xing turned his face, looked at Zhanzhao carefully, and said, "In the past, Brother Bai would come to catch up with me when he was free, drink and eat or something, but since I met you, he has not come." ”

Zhan Zhao was stunned.

Ye Xing saw that Zhanzhao seemed a little cramped, and smiled, "The first time I saw you, I thought you were Zhanzhao." ”

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "What is it for?" ”

"Hmm......" Ye Xing crossed his arms and thought for a while, "It's like when I first saw Bai Yutang, I felt that he was Bai Yutang, and the two of you are very similar to each other to some extent." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded and asked, "Bai Yutang hasn't been looking for you for a long time?" ”

Ye Xing looked at Zhanzhao, "Bai Yutang...... It seems a little awkward when you call these three words, you don't usually call them that, do you? ”

Zhan Zhao is embarrassed, how do you usually call it, rat...... Yutang ......

"In the past, Bai Yutang always ran around, and I said that he was not doing his job." Ye Xing said, "He said that when he finds his home, he won't run around anymore." ”

Zhan Zhao blinked—home? These two words hit my heart inexplicably.

Ye Xing put his hands behind his back, "But there is one thing that you two are really flattering!" ”

Zhan Zhao scratched his head, "Which ...... Which point? ”

Ye Xing shook his head helplessly, "You two are both people who cause trouble, and you are in constant trouble." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded sympathetically, unable to refute it at all.

In this way, Zhan Zhao chatted with Ye Xing about Bai Yutang like this, and after chatting all the way, he gradually became less embarrassed.

When he arrived at the door of the inn, Zhan Zhao suddenly asked Ye Xing, "Do you like that white mouse?" ”

Ye Xing was slightly stunned, looked at Zhanzhao, then smiled, and patted Zhanzhao on the shoulder, "I was still anxious about Brother Bai just now, so you don't stay either, that's good." ”

Zhan Zhao followed in.

Ye Xing suddenly turned around and asked him, "Have you ever noticed Bai Yutang's eyes looking at you?" ”

Zhan Zhao was stunned.

Ye Xing then asked, "Have you ever looked at him in the eyes?" ”

Zhan Zhao didn't speak.

"Find a mirror and look at it." Ye Xing said, "Also, did Bai Yutang never mention me to you?" ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"The reason I got along with him is that we both have similar tastes and preferences." Ye Xing touched his chin, "So the first time I saw you, I wanted to ...... It's really cheap White Five! ”

Zhan Zhao was stunned.

Ye Xing raised his eyebrows, "I'll say that the rat should come and kill me!" After that, I entered the inn.

Zhanzhao followed up and found himself in shock the whole process.

"That's right." Ye Xing asked Zhanzhao, "Why does Xiao Changqing hate Yin Hou so much?" ”

Zhan Zhao then told him about the Holy Maiden of the West Sea.

Ye Xing frowned, "That's it?" I thought your grandfather had killed his whole family. ”

"It's really abnormal." Zhan Zhao also agreed that Xiao Changqing's reaction was not normal.

As they spoke, everyone went upstairs.

Upstairs, Xiao Changqing was not there, but there were many other people in the rivers and lakes, one or two with serious expressions, and they didn't seem to want to deal with Ye Xing too much.

Zhan Zhao understands that the pressure that Ye Xing has to bear is not small, not all the people in the rivers and lakes can understand him, and now they say that his words should be even more difficult to hear.

Zhanzhao asked the people who had contact with Mrs. Ichiha yesterday. Everyone said that they didn't notice anything unusual about Madame, and they didn't know when her fingers were injured.

Gongsun took Zhao Pu and others to find the guy, asked in detail, after the most reluctance, Gongsun ran to the back of the restaurant, moved the large basket of garbage to the yard, and poured all the garbage on a vacant lot, Gongsun carefully picked it with long tongs, and after the last, Gongsun took out a broken teapot. I tried it with a silver needle, and the silver needle changed color.

Everyone came and said, "Is this it?" ”

Gongsun nodded, took the teapot and sniffed it again, then frowned and asked the man, who broke the teapot.

The guy replied, swept out of Xiao Changqing's room.

Gongsun frowned, "Not good! ”

"It was Xiao Changqing who poisoned it?" Ye Xing asked.

Gongsun shook his head, "I'm afraid, it's Mrs. Yiye who is unfortunate enough to be Xiao Changqing's substitute ghost!" ”

Everyone frowned.

Zhan Zhao instructed the officials, "Go find Xiao Changqing immediately!" ”

However...... Everyone searched for an afternoon, but Xiao Changqing was nowhere to be found.

Everyone returned to Hongying Village after dark, Zhan Zhao stretched his waist and ran back to the room, and saw that Bai Yutang was already there, and when he saw him enter the door, he asked him, "Are you hungry?" ”

Zhan Zhao suddenly felt very interesting, Bai Yutang seemed to see that every time he asked if he was hungry or not, whether he was cold or hot, and rarely asked him how the case was going.

Zhan Zhao held the ginseng tea brought in by Xi'er, and while drinking, he told Bai Yutang about what he found in the inn in the afternoon.

As he spoke, Zhan Zhao suddenly saw a mirror not far away.

Zhan Zhao inexplicably thought of what Ye Xing said - look in the mirror and see how he thinks of Bai Yutang, and how Bai Yutang sees himself.

So, Zhan Zhao walked to the mirror and sat down, beckoning to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang walked over a little puzzled, and stood behind him and looked at him, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhan Zhao stared at the mirror and saw Bai Yutang's gaze very clearly.

After looking at it for a while, Zhanzhao lowered his head and drank tea, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Bai Yutang lowered his head and looked at him puzzled, "Ginseng tea is delicious?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhanzhao handed the ginseng tea to his mouth, "It's just that there is too much honey, and it feels sweet and greasy." ”

Bai Yutang took a sip, but he didn't taste like honey, and looked at Zhanzhao puzzled, "Is it sweet?" ”

Zhanzhao nodded and smiled, "Well, it's sweet!" ”

Bai Yutang didn't know what Zhan Zhao was doing, so he turned his face and wanted to stand up, but inadvertently, he saw Zhan Zhao looking at himself in the mirror.

……

After a long time, Bai Yutang turned around, looked at Zhanzhao, and whispered, "Give me another drink." ”

Zhan Zhao brought the cup to his lips, Bai Yutang took a sip and nodded, "Hmm! It's sweet, it's really sweet. ”
