"Don't worry, I haven't washed yet." No matter how urgent you are, you have to allow people to wash their faces and clean their faces, right? She couldn't go out and meet people like this.

"That'...... Hurry up, then. Rong Xi let go of his hand and waited beside her. But he seemed to be unable to stand at all, and kept stomping his feet, and kept sighing.

Jun Qinglan saw that he was really anxious, so she hurriedly washed her face and rinsed her mouth: "What happened?" ”

Rong Xi has always been calm, and even he can become like this, which shows the seriousness of the matter.

"Hey." Rong Xi sighed heavily: "Miss Xiao...... He's dead. ”

“…… Who? ”

Jun Qinglan blinked, and for a while she couldn't react to what Miss Xiao in Rong Xi's mouth was.

"It's Si Hu joining the army, Miss Xiao Wanxiao, Miss Xiao!"

Jun Qinglan's brain boomed, and the delicate cheeks like the fresh flowers he saw yesterday immediately appeared. How can you be a good person overnight...... He's dead?!

"Have you reported to Dali Temple?"

"It's not allowed to be reported." Rong Xi said: "The Xiao family, the prince is at the scene of the crime at the moment. Even the palace went to people, but it was just ....... ”

Where did the crime occur?

Jun Qinglan's heart condensed, so to speak, Xiao Wan didn't die in the Xiao family?

Rong Xi's voice paused slightly and said, "Miss Xiao's death is a little strange, so the prince ordered the servants to immediately invite Lord Jun to come over and take a look." ”

"Let's go."

Jun Qinglan heard that the situation was serious, and she didn't dare to delay, so she immediately took the snow out and went out of the city with Rong Xi.

Halfway through, calmly reciting intermittently, Jun Qinglan had some understanding of Xiao Wan's death. Her body was found in a farm outside the city, and it was initially determined that she had been poisoned. As for what else was strange, Rong Xi refused to say it, only said that she would ask her to see it with her own eyes when the time came.

The two of them rode out of the city, and the speed was very fast. Two miles away from the farm, I saw the soldiers and horses of the Wucheng battalion blocking the road.

"Miss Xiao has a special identity, and her death is ......." Rong Xi approached Jun Qinglan and whispered: "Therefore, the emperor ordered the news to be blocked, and the people were not allowed to come close to watch. ”

Jun Qinglan couldn't help frowning, she wanted to block the news, why did she use the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Battalion? Those people are all famous prodigals in Yanjing City, can they hold the door with their mouths?

"Xiao Cheng, the leading captain of the Five Cities Battalion, is a member of the noble concubine's mother's family."

That makes sense!

Jun Qinglan squinted her eyes, how unsightly Xiao Wan's death was, she had to carefully dispatch so many people to come, just to prevent this news from leaking.

When they came to the barricade, no one stopped them. Obviously, the two of them had been acquiesced in by their superiors. After entering Zhuangzi and walking for a short time, you can see several figures surrounded by a towering tree. Li Congyao was among them.

"There." Rong Xi pointed towards the big tree: "This is the place where the bodies of the two of them were found." ”

"They?!" Jun Qinglan was a little surprised. Isn't it Xiao Wan who died? How can there be people next to them?

Rong Xi's face was slightly surprised, and he didn't want to say anything more, but smiled awkwardly and said, "My lord, just go and see for yourself." ”

Jun Qinglan dismounted, handed the reins to Rong Xi, and walked towards the crowd under the tree on foot.

"You're here." Li Congyao was the first to see her: "Here, I'll leave it to you." ”

With that, he turned and walked away. The man seemed to have long been reluctant to stay here for too long, but he couldn't get out of the way. Jun Qinglan's arrival finally rescued him.

"Lord Jun, take a look, who killed my Wan'er." Xiao Liang's teary eyes were vertical and horizontal, and looking at Jun Qinglan seemed to see a savior. He tugged at her wrist and refused to let go.

"Lord Xiao, please mourn, I will do my best."

"You're Jun Qinglan?"

The sharp feminine voice in the oblique thorn startled Jun Qinglan, only to feel that her eyes were dark, and someone blocked her in front of her. Jun Qinglan looked up, and there was a eunuch in his early thirties standing in front of him, tall and fat, with a face full of horizontal meat. The eyes were thin and long, like two thin slits on the cheeks.

At this moment, the man squinted at her, and there were only two black lines left on his cheeks.

"This father-in-law is ......." Jun Qinglan vaguely remembered that the last time she was in Xiao Liang's mansion, she seemed to see such a person serving by Xiao Guifei's side.

"The miscellaneous family is the head of the concubine's palace, Yuhai." The man stood with his hands on his hands, his face full of pride.

It is said that Nu Xiao Qizhu, this eunuch Yuhai is just as wild as Xiao Guifei.

"The miscellaneous family came to monitor you people to handle the case at the behest of the noble concubine. You must do things carefully and properly, and the miscellaneous family will keep an eye on you for the mother. If you tell the miscellaneous family to find out that there is anything wrong with you...... Scold! ”

"Father-in-law, rest assured, Jun Qinglan will be cautious about any case."

Yuhai stared at her with his head held high for a long time, and then snorted coldly: "The miscellaneous family still has something to explain to you for Niangniang, you must remember it." ”

Yuhai's voice paused, his expression became more and more arrogant, and he couldn't wait to tilt his chin directly to the sky. looked at it fiercely, but there was a bit of Xiao Guifei's shadow.

It wasn't until the shelf was enough that he slowly opened his mouth: "Niangniang said, no matter what you see today, you have to keep your mouth shut." If there is a little leak out, you are the only one who asks. Remember? ”

"Remembered." Jun Qinglan nodded, not intending to bother with him.

There is an old saying in the world, the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts. The more minions of this status, the more they feel that they are great, and there is really no need to argue with them. What she is most concerned about now is Xiao Wan's cause of death. Duanwang's marriage had just begun to show signs of it, and Xiao Wan suddenly died. No matter how you think about it, it makes people feel unusual.

Coupled with Rong Xi's repeated emphasis on the strangeness of Xiao Wan's death, it is somewhat curious. Jun Qinglan really wants to see what kind of death is so strange that Rong Xi, who is used to seeing the wind and waves, feels strange.

"Father-in-law Yu, can I go over?"

Jun Qinglan waited for a long time, but Yuhai always stood in front of her, and she had no intention of getting out of the way. The man furrowed his eyebrows, his eyes twinkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Let's go over." Yuhai pursed his lips, and finally waved his hand, allowing Jun Qinglan to leave.

Xiao Liang followed behind her, and Jun Qinglan glanced at him quickly. The sadness on his face didn't seem to be fake, but there was still a bit of resentment in his eyes. Because of Xiao Wan's death?

"Wan'er's corpse is ...... Found under that tree. ”

Jun Qinglan glanced at the tree and took a hard breath, never thinking that Xiao Wan would actually die like this. It's ...... It's amazing!

There were two dead bodies under the tree. One of them is Xiao Wan, and the other is a strange man with good facial features. The two of them lay straight and side by side in the shade of the tree, but the hem of their clothes was tightly tied together, and they were tied in a strong knot.

This is not the most unusual place, the most shocking thing is the top of the heads of the two bodies. On the thickest branch, nine feet above their heads, hung two paper figures, a boy and a girl. The craftsmanship of the paper figures is excellent, and the color proportions are the same as those of real people. If it weren't for the fact that the weight was too light and the wind was blowing, people would have thought that there were two real people hanging from the tree in a trance.

Even so, looking at such a scene without warning in this blue sky and daylight is still weird, which makes people's hearts feel cold. She suddenly felt a little pity for the farmer who found Xiao Wan's body, and it was said that he had seen them when he was working in the fields before it was dark. At that time, I was afraid that I was scared half to death.

"Those two paper men have already checked it." Tang Ying quietly approached Jun Qinglan: "A silver needle was pierced into each of their heavenly spirits. ”

"Oh?" Jun Qinglan raised her eyebrows, quite surprised. Aren't there two paper figures hanging from the book? What is the operation of piercing a silver needle on the top of the paper figure's head?

"Put those two paper figures down, I'm going to see."

In today's Jun Qinglan's heart, those two paper figures are no longer ordinary paper people. Her intuition told her that it should be evidence that had an important connection to Xiao Wan's case.

"Okay." Tang Ying's speed was extremely fast, and before the words fell, he had already flown up the tree. With the knife in hand, the two fluttering paper figures fell under the tree with a roar.

Rong Han flew up, took the paper figure in his hand left and right, and placed it flat next to the corpse under the tree. Looking at it from a distance, it was as if four people had died at once.

Jun Qinglan glanced at the two paper figures and frowned fiercely. I couldn't see it clearly when I hung from a tall tree, but now I found that the clothes and appearance of these two paper figures were quite unusual.

The girl on the right has a white complexion, stands with a smile, and has a carmine mole the size of a grain of rice at the center of her eyebrows. Her face is the same as that of the dragon girl beside Guanyin Bodhisattva in the temple. However, the dress on her body was not painted with oil paint as originally imagined, but was made of the best clothes and then put on the body of the paper figure. That dress is worth a lot of money when you look at it, and the auspicious clouds and cranes on it are lifelike.

Now that there is a dragon girl, the boy on the left doesn't think about anything other than the good wealth boy.

It's no wonder that these two paper figures were able to look like they were hanging from the tree, because they were wearing real clothes. It is no accident that these two paper figures are hung from a tree.

Jun Qinglan squatted down and probed her finger at the top of the paper man's heart Tianling Gai. Sure enough, I felt a slight protrusion, and the shape was indeed a needle. The tail of the needle is wrapped with red silk thread, revealing half the length of a finger. She grabbed the end of the needle and pulled it out, and found that the silver needle was nine inches long.

And the hem of the placket of these two paper figures is firmly tied together like Xiao Wan and the man. It's also a common dead knot.

Jun Qinglan's eyes looked at the big tree.

The paper figure was hung nine feet from the tree, and a nine-inch silver needle was pierced into the top of the center, and the paper figure was tied together with the placket of the deceased's clothes. What she saw in front of her made her feel a faint sense of foreboding.

These things are no accident!

Such a way of death is the first time Jun Qinglan has seen it in her life. It's no wonder that Concubine Xiao wants to block the news, because it's really ...... It's so weird!
