The little prince nodded with satisfaction, pointed at them and said:

"These are the proud guards of this king, they are not only strong in martial arts, but also know the preferences of women well, with their help, they will definitely be able to help you and win the heart of Miss Xiaoning as soon as possible."

The guards looked at the confident little prince and wept with deep feelings.

Look at the Queen Mother's blind date banquet to put him

What has the little prince of our family forced to become?

The children are going crazy, their little prince, it's so miserable, Lord Chenyou, you have pity on the poor child.

"Please make sure we help and pursue Miss Xiaoning." The guards lined up and shouted in unison.

Chen You was stunned suddenly, and the loud voice frightened the grandmothers who passed by, and they all sped up their pace.

“......”

"Tatsuyou, what do you mean? This king is so sincere, you won't want to refuse, right? The little prince asked with great interest.

"That's... Then thank you, the prince, the official needs to go to Luoshui City for a few days, if there is any situation here, please also fly the pigeon legend, notify the official. ”

Chen You's tone was very weak-hearted, and he even wondered if the little prince's head was really clipped.

"Do you hear that?" Little Thirteen shouted back excitedly.

"I heard you, little prince."

Chen You looked at this group of imposing guards in a daze, and suddenly felt a little headache.

He shouldn't have come over, he didn't say a few words to the Yiren, and he didn't say anything about 'nibbling a lemon' in vain.

is also such an enthusiastic thirteen princes, I hope nothing will happen.

Three days later, the non-stop Chen You and Ning Xiaoxiao came to Luoshui City, the street was still full of people, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they still looked thriving, as if they were not affected by the loss of individual swineherds and duck farmers.

But when they came to the house of the swineherd who had the accident, they found that the matter was more serious than they imagined.

"Old man, put the knife down quickly, death is a problem that can't be solved, what should we do if you die?"

The swineherd's lady is pulling her father-in-law's hand to stop him from killing himself with a knife.

"Leave me alone!" The swineherd with the knife burst into tears and was heartbreaking, "The family finally raised dozens of pigs, and suddenly they were poisoned and poisoned, and the borrowed money has not been repaid, and the business negotiated with the restaurant before is gone, you say, how can you live this life!" ”

"Old man, don't be like this, you will frighten your daughter like this, she is still young, old man."

The swineherd's wife has already become a tearful person, if at this time, the swineherd is really dead, leaving her and her daughter, and a lot of debts that can't be paid off, how will she live.

"Daddy—"

The little girl sat under the table with a little scarecrow, crying non-stop.

"Keep people under the knife!"

Tatsuyou, who didn't know what to say, hurriedly shouted.

"That's right, what's the matter, you can discuss it slowly, natural and man-made disasters this year, who hasn't encountered it, live well, life will be better." Ning Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and stopped while comforting.

The swineherd, who was almost mentally broken, took the knife and slashed in the direction of Chen You and Ning Xiaoxiao, and said excitedly:

"What do you know, it's gone, life can't be lived, the old debts have not been paid off, and now the good business negotiated with the restaurant is gone, and the deposit is also lost to others, there is no reason, this world is really unreasonable, we little people get up early every day and are greedy for darkness, live diligently, raise piglets fat and fat to sell in the market, and be poisoned, now the pigs are all poisoned, the money is gone, the old man I am not a man."

Seeing the swineherd raise the knife to kill himself, he hurriedly grabbed the old man's wrist with his right hand and folded it outward, and before long, the knife fell from the painful hand and fell to the ground with a sonorous bang.

The weeping swineherd picked up a life, knelt on the ground, and cursed incessantly.

"Why did you save me, why didn't you let me die?"

"You're dead, what about your lady and your young child?" Tatsuyo asked solemnly.

Hearing this, the swineherd in a trance looked at his wife and daughter with tears in his eyes, and cried in despair: "Yes, old man, I should take them with me, anyway, sooner or later I will starve to death, and if I stay in this world, I will only suffer, so it is better to follow me." ”

"Bastard!" Tatsuyo was angry.

Ning Xiaoxiao, who was beside her, was also stunned, it was the first time she had seen Chen Youfa so angry.

"Do you think you can't live, so you have to drag your wife and daughter to die together? Have you asked them if they want to die with you, or do they want to live with you? ”

Tatsuyou's angry words continue to hit the swineherd who is not in good spirits.

"The pig was poisoned, the government will investigate this matter, we will investigate, if you owe the debt, you will work hard, pay it off, look for death and life, can you solve the problem?"

He pointed to the little girl who was huddled under the table and was almost crying, and asked in a loud voice:

"What will she do if you're gone? After you die, if she is bullied, who will come out! ”

Ning Xiaoxiao saw that Chen You's eyes were red with excitement, thinking that he must have remembered the tragedy that happened in the Chen family back then, and hurriedly said:

"Okay, Lord Chenyou, after listening to your words, they should understand your good intentions and won't kill themselves anymore."

The swineherd didn't speak, Ning Xiaoxiao squatted down, put her arm on his shoulder, and patiently comforted: "You are the head of the family, something happens at home, you can't mess around, your wife and daughter are looking at you, the problem of debt, you can discuss it slowly with the creditor, if the other party is a sensible person, it is estimated that he will not be in a hurry to urge you to pay it back, and you can live a good life this day, not to a desperate situation." ”

Maybe it was Chen You's heartfelt words, maybe it was Ning Xiaoxiao's gentle sentence of 'not in a desperate situation', and the heartbroken swineherd dispelled the idea of committing suicide.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, according to the law of Wanqiongguo, if a suspect maliciously poisons or slaughters farmers or animals without permission, causing losses to farmers, the court will recover compensation from the suspect in accordance with the law, and beat sixty boards, that is, if the suspect can be caught, he should repay the debt you owe for no reason."

Ning Xiaoxiao silently picked up the pork knife on the ground and put it back on the red case, her image shining brightly.

"My lord, are you telling the truth?" The swineherd rekindled hope.

"Of course it's true, but if the suspect dies and doesn't leave anything outside of his body, you probably have to bear the debt yourself."

Chenyou, who was expressionless, coldly splashed cold water on the swineherd.

Ning Xiaoxiao tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled charmingly.

"It's okay, there's hope, it's better than no hope, right?"

"Yes, yes."

The swineherd, who had calmed down, nodded, picked up his mother-in-law, and picked up her daughter, who was crying and screaming.

"My lord, you came here to investigate this matter, to find the person who poisoned the pig?"

The swineherd asked seriously, her teary eyes full of anticipation.

After all, it is the one who has made a choice between life and death, and those who stay will definitely be able to cherish it more and face everything more bravely.

"That's right, this official is the left servant of the Criminal Department, Chen You, this is Ning Xiaoxiao, Lord Ning, and the Qing Officials Division of the main city." Tatsuyo said briefly.

"Lord Chenyou, without you like you, your introduction is not complete at all."

Ning Xiaoxiao, who complained, reintroduced herself again:

"Lord Ben should be the youngest Qing official in history, Si Ning Xiaoxiao, Ning Da is right!"

The swineherd looked at his wife silently, and suddenly felt that the two people in front of him were very unreliable.

"Back to the point, according to the records of the Yamen, you have 36 sows dead, all of them seven days ago?"

The resolute Chen You had already taken out the booklet and pen and ink.

"It's... That morning, the old man, I originally wanted to go to the pond to cut some pigweed to feed the pigs, how do I know, just passed through the pigsty, I found that my pig's mouth was foaming, the eyes were straight, and the four feet were straight and fell to the ground, I looked, something was wrong, and quickly ran to the end of the village, and invited the doctor in the village who knew how to treat the pigs, he came to see, the pigs were not cured, all died. ”

The swineherd, who was over sixty years old, said and secretly wiped a handful of tears.

"That's... Did the doctor ever say that the pig was poisoned by what and how was it poisoned? ”

Ning Xiaoxiao looked at the display in the room carefully, and suddenly found that the wooden table top had some traces of burning, as if something had been lit in the place.

He leaned over a little and sniffed it, there was a very unique scent of sandalwood, jasmine, no, it seemed to be the smell of lemongrass.

"The doctor said, I don't know which one lacks virtue, and fed the pigs arsenic powder, but they were all poisoned." The swineherd said with a sad face.

Chen You took a deep breath and said with some disappointment: "It's arsenic powder again." ”

"The most common poison, looking for a needle in a haystack." Ning Xiaoxiao replied tacitly.

"Not necessarily, if you want to check, you can still find it, Skynet is magnificent and negligent, catch the murderer, it's man-made!" Chen's right eyes looked at Ning Xiaoxiao firmly, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

"There's one thing I'd like to ask?" Ning Xiaoxiao asked positively, "Did you ever tell the yacha that the night before the incident, you all coincidentally saw the same person in your dreams?" ”

"Yes, that's right, it's a beauty with long hair, but I can't see my face clearly." The swineherd is very positive.

"Master Guan, the folk woman also saw it, that person is wearing a yellow dress, which is exactly the same color as the clothes on your body, my lord."

The swineherd's wife pointed to Ning Xiaoxiao's blue clothes, and said that they were yellow.

"But Ben-sama is dressed in teal." Ning Xiaoxiao's body leaned back slightly, and whispered in Chen's right ear: "Is this family's confession weird, one didn't see his face clearly, so he said that the person was a beauty, and the other claimed that the blue color was yellow, it seems that only the little girl's confession is the most credible." ”

"Why?" Tatsuyo asked in a whisper.

"Because, she hasn't spoken yet." Ning Xiaoxiao squatted down slightly, touched the little girl's head, and asked patiently: "Little girl, tell your brother, what did you see in your dream?" ”

"Uncle, I see... See..."The little girl stammered while holding back her sour nose.

"Brother, it's brother." Ning Xiaoxiao corrected 'tirelessly'.

"Uncle, Xiao Ruo is in a dream... I saw the woman with a big on her head. ”

"Male... Rooster? Ning Xiaoxiao repeated intriguingly, "Chenyou, what do you think?" ”

"Where's the pig carcass?" Tatsumi asked without changing his face.

"All of them were brought back to the yamen by the official master, because they were afraid of the plague, and they didn't dare to bury them casually until they found out, saying that they would all take them back." The swineherd replied honestly.

"Okay, Lord Ning and the official will go back to the autopsy."

"Test what?" Ning Xiaoxiao thought she had misheard.

"The carcasses of the pigs were examined, and there were more than 30 heads." Tatsumi said solemnly.

Ning Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "Didn't he already ask the doctor for examination?" Return? ”

"My lord, can you really catch the man who poisoned the pig?"

The swineherd couldn't help but pull Chenyou's shirt, his eyes were full of eagerness, Chenyou slightly loosened his frowning brows, looked directly into his eyes, and said: "As long as the suspect is not dead, this official will definitely be able to arrest him, don't worry." ”

"Then thank you, sir."

The two swineherds looked at the backs of Chen You and Ning Xiaoxiao, and knelt down excitedly.

But when the two came to the yamen and looked at more than 30 stinky pig carcasses, they found that things were not simple.
