"That's because of my father...... My mother found me the best martial arts teacher, and let me practice martial arts when I was a child, and my body gradually improved. And I'm used to smelling this sachet, so I keep it with me......"

"I see!" Yan Zixi nodded, finally understood, "Then when are we going to track down the Li family?" ”

Xiao Jingcong thought for a while, "I will work lightly, and my feet will be fast, so let me go alone to track the Li family." ”

"That'...... What about me? ”

"You? Go home, do you still want to follow me? ”

"No...... Isn't it possible? Yan Zixi blinked her eyes and said with a smile.

This time, Xiao Jingcong shook her head decisively.

"No, I'm afraid of delaying things with you, in case you are accidentally discovered, then we will fall short!"

"Okay......" Yan Zixi could only nod in frustration when she heard this.

"But don't be lazy, there's something waiting for you to do!" Xiao Jingcong saw that Yan Zixi was out of energy, and immediately encouraged her.

When Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately came to her senses, "Really, really, really?" What can I do? ”

Xiao Jingcong smiled mysteriously and whispered a few words in Yan Zixi's ear.

"Open the coffin for autopsy!"

"Ahh I don't want ......it."

……

Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong parted ways outside Tailor Zhao's house, Xiao Jingcong went to follow the Li family's investigation clues, and Yan Zixi prepared to return to Yan's house.

But before he reached the door, Gonggong Li hurriedly ran over to interrogate.

"Miss Zixi, Miss Zixi!"

Yan Zixi heard the voice of this male duck, and knew that it was Xiao Jingcong's housekeeper as soon as she heard it, so she turned around and asked.

"Uncle Li, are you in a hurry to find me?"

"Oh, Lord Cheng County ordered a message that Mrs. Li's coffin had been carried to the county office, and she was about to reopen the coffin for an autopsy, so she specially called you over to check it together!"

"Is it coming so soon?"

Yan Zixi cried with a sad face, she didn't expect that she was going to go to the autopsy before she entered the house, and this Xiao Jingcong didn't understand that I was a girl, so she arranged such an errand for me.

Wait, Xiao Jingcong said before that he would call someone to dig a grave, but it turned out that he was a person from the county government.

Who is that Xiao Jingcong, and why does he have such great ability?

Is it really rich that can make the devil grind? Gave money, even the work of digging graves?

Forget it, I don't want to, anyway, Xiao Jingcong won't harm me, he wants to harm me, just ignore me, I would have died in the county jail a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi said to Li Gonggong: "Uncle Li, lead the way." ”

"Yes!"

……

The backyard of the county government.

Cheng Sanshui covered his nose and stayed there, waiting for Yan Zixi and their arrival.

At this time, Cheng Yicai also hurriedly walked in, and when he saw a coffin in the courtyard, he immediately screamed angrily.

"Dad, who put the coffin in the courtyard, how unlucky! On this hot day, don't you smoke people to death? ”

Cheng Sanshui frowned, but Xiao Jingcong had confessed that he could not reveal his identity as the prince, so Cheng Sanshui had no choice but to lie and conceal it.

"Oh, it's nothing, I see that there is something strange about the murder of Mrs. Li, so I am going to reopen the coffin for an autopsy to find out the real cause of Mrs. Li's death."

When Cheng Yicai heard this, he immediately roared.

"Dad, are you crazy? I said, why did you release Yan Zixi yesterday? Could it be that you want to overturn the case for that dead girl? ”

"Isn't this just fulfilling your wish, you are interested in Yan Zixi, now that your father has released people, you can't ...... with her"

"Enough! Father! ”

It's okay not to mention it, but when Cheng Yicai is mentioned, he won't be angry.

"That Yan Zixi doesn't know anything at all, Mrs. Wang said that the matchmaker refused directly, I went to visit her in the prison a few days ago, and told her that the dead girl not only didn't appreciate it, but also humiliated me, I was bored with her for a long time."

When Cheng Sanshui heard this, he hurriedly came over to comfort him.

"It's okay, son, Yan Zixi's case has not yet been decided, since you don't like that dead girl anymore, it's the best, this matter of the province implicates you."

"Hmph, I can't wait for Yan Zixi to be beheaded sooner now!"

Cheng Yicai's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, and then asked Cheng Sanshuidao again.

"By the way, Dad, where is that Xiao Gongzi sacred? Why are you so afraid of people? He was obedient in every way, and even did the work of digging up graves? ”

Cheng Sanshui hurriedly made a silent gesture to Cheng Yicai, then pulled him to the corridor, glanced left and right, and then whispered.

"Son, didn't I tell you, isn't Xiao Gongzi someone we can afford to mess with? From now on, don't mention him again, and don't question his identity again, otherwise even your father won't be able to save your head! ”

Cheng Yicai frowned when he heard this, "Listening to my father's tone, that Xiao Gongzi's identity must be very unusual, and he is a ...... in the capital."

Cheng Yicai pondered for a while, and suddenly his face changed greatly, "Could it be that he ......?"

"Shh......h

Before Cheng Yicai could speak, he was covered by Cheng Sanshui.

"Son, let me warn you one last sentence, don't mention this person again, and don't talk about his identity again, this is going to lose your head, hear?"

Cheng Sanshui saw that Cheng Yicai nodded, and then let go of his hand.

"Dad, don't worry, the child knows that the stakes are high, and he will keep his mouth shut. It's just that the child is very strange, why did Xiao Gongzi come to this small place in our Ningcheng County? Isn't it here to check on you? ”

Cheng Sanshui had a gloomy face and said leisurely.

"In the past few years, the treasury has been empty, the local officials have been corrupt and cautious, and the names of the people are not happy, probably because they have been noticed by the saints. So he sent Xiao Gongzi to visit this matter secretly......"

"Then Dad, you ......" Cheng Yi showed a hint of worry.

Cheng Sanshui waved his hand and said unconcernedly.

"It doesn't matter, my father is just a small county order, and there are countless gold and silver treasures supplied to the prefect of Zhizhou every year, if the sky really falls, they will be on top."

Cheng Sanshui smiled coldly, and continued in his mouth.

"What's more, that Xiao Gongzi is also a martial artist, there has been no war in his country in the past few years, and the above will send him down to deal with internal affairs. However, the internal affairs are no better than the war, and if they really want to be cured, it will shake the foundation and shake the foundation of the country, so after finding out, they can only find out a few corrupt officials and make a show, and in the end it is still not ......"

"Moreover, I also heard that the southern part of the border of the Chen soldiers of the Northern Liang Kingdom has recently been rekindled with the intention of rekindling the war, and I am afraid that Xiao Gongzi will have to return to Beijing after half of the investigation, guard the northern frontier, and resist the Northern Liang. This time is tossed by that Xiao Gongzi, he won't be tossing for long! ”

After hearing this, Cheng Yicai immediately bowed his hand and said.

"Daddy, you are still wise, the child admires and admires!"

"Haha, Yicai, in the future, be more steady, don't be distracted by women's affairs."

"Yes, child, remember. If there is nothing else, the child will take his leave. ”

"Well, there you go."

Cheng Yicai said goodbye to his father and walked out of the courtyard, but met Yan Zixi and Gonggong Li at the door of the county office.

Cheng Yicai glanced at Yan Zixi, and sneered: "Miss Yan, I really didn't expect you to be able to get out of the prison?" ”

"Cheng Gongzi, did you come to see my jokes? If so, you've been disappointed, but your father invited me over today. ”

Since the last time she made her words clear in front of the cell door, Yan Zixi had no good impression of this Cheng Yicai at all.

She really didn't expect Cheng Yicai to be such a despicable and shameless person, who would ruin herself if she couldn't get it, and even ordered the jailer to torture herself.

If Xiao Jingcong was one step late, he might really die in prison.

Cheng Yicai didn't care, there was still a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Miss Yan, I really hope that you can wash away your grievances, if you change your mind now and are willing to beg me, I may think about it again?" ”

"Don't bother Cheng Gongzi, Cheng Gongzi's hypocrisy and hypocrisy, Zixi sees it in her eyes, remembers it in her heart, and will never forget it. Zixi still has something to do, so let's leave first! ”

After speaking, Yan Zixi turned around and walked into the gate of the county government with Gonggong Li.

Cheng Yicai's face turned green from Yan Zixi's words, and he spat fiercely at Yan Zixi's departing back, scolding angrily in his mouth.

"Whew! What the hell! Little slut, don't think that you can clear your innocence with Xiao Gongzi's help, I want to see how you overturn the case! ”

Saying that, Cheng Yicai patted his clothes and called a carriage to rush in the direction of Yan's house.

……

Yan Zixi and Gonggong Li, under the leadership of the officials, walked through the hall and corridor, all the way to the courtyard.

Cheng Sanshui and Qi Zuo have been waiting for a long time.

Cheng Sanshui saw Yan Zixi and Gonggong Li, and hurriedly welcomed with a smile.

"Yo, Miss Zixi is here?"

Yan Zixi was slightly stunned, when did this Cheng Sanshui be so polite to herself?

Even when Yan Zixi saved Cheng Yicai's life, he didn't see Cheng Sanshui so polite, why does he seem to be a different person now?

"Master Cheng is invited, Zixi doesn't dare not come." Yan Zixi replied.

"Miss Zixi doesn't need to be polite, in fact, the official called you here today to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy in front of you and the Li family to re-examine the cause of Mrs. Li's death."

Yan Zixi glanced at the people in the courtyard, but she didn't see anyone from the Li family, so she asked curiously.

"Yes, why don't you see someone from the Li family coming?"

Cheng Sanshui smiled slightly, and then replied: "Miss Zixi, don't be impatient, the official has already sent someone to invite someone from the Li family to come, and it should be on the ......way now."

After a slight pause, Cheng Sanshui continued.

"Not only the Li family, but also the official specially invited the nearby villagers and neighbors to come to watch and testify today!"

"What?!" Yan Zixi frowned, "Master Cheng, if you invite me and the Li family to come, I can still understand, after all, there is a plaintiff and a defendant, but why do you still invite those people to come?" ”

Cheng Sanshui narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer.

"It's very simple, this official wants to check the cause of Mrs. Li's death in front of everyone, so many eyes can witness together, and you can always find out the real cause of Mrs. Li's death...... At that time, Miss Zixi shouldn't deny it anymore, right? ”
