Since Li Zhukuai brought the news of the little guy, Xiao Yuanyou naturally wanted to bring people over for interrogation.

This time, he was assigned to this remote He County, not only to solve the hundred cases, but also to manage and manage the county's general affairs.

Especially when the New Year Festival is approaching, he has to make a summary of this year's events, and his time is not enough.

I happened to encounter the case of the previous county magistrate who was killed.

Li Zhukuai wants to be a catcher that everyone admires, but what he encountered with the county before was just some trivial things.

finally came across a case that could make a name for herself, why didn't she care?

I heard that Li Zhu was about to interrogate that little guy, so he naturally wanted to go and bring him over.

However, not long after she went, she turned back to the county government office with a depressed face.

"My lord, my subordinates went down to mention people, but I can't speak."

"Dead?"

"Yes." Li Zhukuai's voice was low.

She couldn't have imagined it, but after such a while, the person died.

I knew that when she came to the county office, I brought people over.

I will never let him go back to his house.

Li Yu quickly found a chair and sat on it, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said slowly,

"When I went to the house of the little guy just now, I found that the body of the little guy was found in the moat of the city, and the official of the government was conducting an autopsy, and the specific time of death and the cause of death were being examined.

No matter what the time and reason for the little guy's death is, at this juncture, there is a suspicion of murder being discovered, and there is also a suspicion that he has been killed, or he has just suffered from the pond fish.

In short, it was impossible for the little guy to run out of the moat in broad daylight and drown himself, and it happened that he died after being questioned by Li Chu.

Xin Yi groaned, "This little guy must know something, otherwise the people behind the scenes would have killed him early." ”

Li Zhukuai was secretly calming his emotions, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and he actually put his anger behind him for a while.

"The subordinates are all checking the few subordinates who signed a short-term contract to serve Lord Wei that day, but they only found this little guy in the city."

"Two of the other servants asked for a way from the government and went elsewhere to earn a living, and one died shortly after Lord Wei left."

That is to say, except for this little guy, the others walked and died.

If there was no death of Lord Wei, no one would pay attention to the movements of these servants.

"Those two took the road guide in the government and went elsewhere to beg for a living, who distributed the road guide?"

Xin Yi asked.

Li Zhukuai straightened up suddenly, his eyes flickered a little, his heart was shocked, and he said after a while, "That Lu Yin was sent out by his subordinates, and originally this matter did not belong to the subordinates, but because it was a subordinate relative who managed the household registration documents, and he was not in the yamen that day." ”

"My subordinates also dealt with those two servants in the past, so I gave them two roads to guide ......"

Li Kuai lowered her head, she also knew that this matter was her transgression, and it was originally the duty of Kuai to investigate the case and arrest people, regardless of the route.

In fact, this is also Li Zhu's quick to think too much, if the two servants really want to leave, although the little official who manages the household registration documents is not there at that time, as long as he comes a few more times, he can always run into the book.

Should go or will go.

Li Zhuhai blamed himself, but he just drilled the tip of the horns.

"Don't think about it much, in my opinion, the murderer not only knows Lord Wei's habits, but also seems to know the time and direction of his departure."

"Even be bold to guess, it is even possible that the reason why he left with his family at that time was simply a trap set by the murderer."

Xin Yi walked around slowly, and said unhurriedly, "I think everyone doesn't know that Lord Wei is leaving, right?" ”

Li Zhu was taken aback.

Indeed, as Xin Yi said, no one knew when Lord Wei left.

He originally received the appointment order at that time, but Shangfeng said that the new county order would take some time to come, and let Lord Wei be the magistrate of the county again.

Originally, Lord Wei didn't want to leave, because he still had several ideas, such as building bridges and paving roads, which had not yet been completed.

He couldn't know what kind of person this new prefectural magistrate was, and whether he would continue his unfinished business.

This will suddenly say that he will leave later, which is actually very happy.

It's just that I didn't expect that after some time, the prefect Lord Huang issued a warrant, saying that he would let Lord Wei go to another county to take up his post.

Because the new county order was the adopted son of the emperor, he was reprimanded to come to the county to be a county order.

Lord Wei had heard of the reputation of the emperor's adopted son, and knew that he had the name of 'Qingtian' in the capital, and although he was reluctant, he left with someone.

As for Li Zhukuai knowing this, it was because she and Lord Wei's daughter were close friends, and these were all told to her by Miss Wei in private.

And Li Zhukuai wants to find the murderer behind the scenes as soon as possible, and he also wants to avenge his friend.

Lord Wei left quietly, although he had good political achievements and wanted to do practical things, but the relationship with the people in the county government was not harmonious.

Maybe it's because of this that he left quietly.

Xin Yi guessed that Lord Wei left quietly, precisely because no one knew the specific time of Lord Wei's departure, only that he left a year ago.

It is also speculated that the relationship between the people is not harmonious.

After some conversation, Li Zhukuai realized that she really underestimated this county lady, she thought that she was just a noble girl from a family, and she would only pretend, but she didn't want to, she hadn't seen the body of that little guy at all, and she hadn't seen the scene of the crime, so she could make such a guess.

If these words hadn't been taught by Master Xiao in advance, then she would have been extremely talented.

Thinking about it, I heard that this Mrs. Xiao is a girl from the Xin family, the Xin family is a big family, the family is Xuanhe, and the reputation is outstanding, no matter what, the girl from such a mansion cannot be a straw bag.

Thinking of this, Li Chukuai was not so resistant to Xin Yi's frequent entry and exit from the county office.

Although Li Zhukuai is a straightforward and fast-talking, it doesn't mean that she is stupid, otherwise even if half of this yamen is surnamed Li, it will never be possible for her to be a girl.

After all, there must be other men in the Li family.

On the contrary, Li Zhukuai is a very smart girl, very good at solving cases, but she was confused by Xin Yi's appearance, and she is not very old, and she is delicate and soft.

Since yesterday when she found the corpse of Lord Wei's family, she was a little devastated, especially when she saw the corpse of her best friend, she was about to collapse.

My mind was in a state of chaos, and I couldn't even think about it.

If only she could clear her mind and not let that little guy leave......

Li Zhu closed his eyes quickly.

Xiao Yuanyou saw that her face was pale and said,

"It's getting late today, you go back and rest first, and then ...... tomorrow"

"No need to ......" Li Zhukuai will hate to go up to the sky and the earth to catch the murderer, where is he willing to go back to rest.

Xiao Yuanyou said, "What the official needs is available people, do you think it is suitable for you to continue to follow up on the case now?" ”

He didn't have any prejudice against women as officials, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to Xin Yi's request to teach her to solve the case.

And Li Zhukuai, after what she just said, and the relationship between her and Miss Wei, any change in the next step may make her uncontrollable.

When the time comes, you can't deal with it calmly, how to help solve the case, after all, this and the county, half of the family is still in the hands of Li Xiancheng.

Xiao Yuanyou is not without anyone in his hands, not to mention Xiao Yi, even those people below, any one of them may be more powerful than Li Zhu.

But they have a bad point, that is, they don't have Li Zhukuai to know about this and the county's affairs.

As soon as Xiao Yuanyou's words came out, the fire that had been extinguished in Li Zhukuai's heart rose again.

She felt that the new county magistrate looked down on her!

But in a blink of an eye, she calmed down, "Okay, thank you, sir." ”

This 'adult' call was sincere and solemn. Then he got up and bowed his hand to Xiao Yuanyou, and then bowed his head to Xin Yi, and slowly retreated.

After Li Zhu was about to leave, Xin Yi said, "Fifth brother, can you let me see that little guy's corpse?" ”

Regarding the case, Xiao Yuanyou will talk to her without revealing secrets, which will see that she is going to see the corpse.

In fact, in the past, although Xiao Yuanyou agreed to teach Xin Yi to solve the case, he didn't expect too much from her.

Xin Yi is a person, if it sounds good, it is called casual, it is called informal, and if it is ugly, it is a little lacking in heart.

She doesn't like to think too much, doesn't care about the little things around her, and is easy to trust others, such as him. It can be said that he is very untalented in solving crimes.

But Xiao Yuanyou has been getting along for a long time, constantly overturning his cognition.

He didn't expect her to do so well.

She always inadvertently catches something that no one else has noticed. Even if he is an extremely sharp person.

"My lord, ma'am, the meal has been prepared, do you want to eat?" Xiao Yi asked outside.

Xin Yi originally wanted to say that he would use it again, but he didn't expect a sound of 'grunt' and 'grunt'.

She clutched her abdomen in embarrassment.

Xiao Yuanyou stretched out his hand and pinned her falling hair behind her ear, and said,

"Bring them all in."

Xiao Yi should be, and in a short time, the meal was ready.

It's just that the table of food in front of him is really exquisite and gorgeous, and Xiao Yi explained next to him that before Lord Huang left, he asked the restaurant to be renovated and sent to the county office.

This table of food is no worse than the best restaurant in Beijing.

Although along the way, Xiao Yuanyou has done her best to take care of Xin Yi, but after all, it is in manna, and because of what happened in the master, her appetite has not been very good.

Xiao Yuanyou naturally tried all kinds of ways to let Xin Yi eat more.

It's just that Xin Yi is not a wasteful character, and what Xiao Yuanyou brought over was eaten.

After such a meal, Xin Yi really couldn't sit down.

At this time, Xiao Rusi saw that his parents had not returned home for a long time, and he had not come back when he had dinner, so he insisted on asking the nurse to take him to his father.

The nurse refused, so he secretly ran out by himself.

In the end, the nurse had no choice but to bring him over.

"Madame...... The slave was wrong, she shouldn't have brought the young master over. The nurse blamed herself, and as long as Xin Yi and Xiao Yuanyou gave an order, she would drag Xiao Rusi back.

Xiao Rusi didn't care what the nurse said, her cloud-like little body pulled into Xin Yi's arms, and her voice was milky, "Mother...... Mother...... Mother......"

With his little mouth cocked, he kissed the horn on his mother's face, and his mother's face was full of saliva.

His mother didn't dislike it, she wiped it casually and asked her son what he ate at night, and he was obedient at home.

As long as the child is by his parents' side, he is happy, and he doesn't care what his mother asks.

One would be in his mother's arms, the other would be in his father's arms, and he couldn't wait to climb on his father's shoulder.

In the end, Xin Yi naturally couldn't go with Xiao Yuanyou to check on the body of the drowned little guy.

Xiao Rusi hated that he couldn't stick to the two of them.

Xin Yi could not go, but Xiao Yuanyou could not go, he pulled Xiao Rusi off his body and handed it to Xin Yi, and went to the morgue to see him.

Xin Yi took Xiao Rusi back to the county mansion, and after washing, he coaxed him, from one story to the eighth story, Xiao Xiao's spirit was still vibrant.

Xin Yi, "......"

I heard that the girls are soft and cute, it is the mother's little padded jacket, she wants to use this ragged shirt for a small padded jacket, I don't know if anyone changes it for her.

In the end, Xin Yi fell asleep by himself, and he didn't see Xiao Rusi fall asleep.

Three days later, Xin Yi received a post.

"Oh, it's Lord Huang's wife." Xin Yi flipped through the post, "It's really face-saving, I handed over the post so quickly." ”

When Lord Huang left that day, he said that his wife would send a post to invite Xin Yi to come over for tea.

Actually, this is not to give her face, but to see the face of the fifth brother and even the emperor.

According to Xin Yi's thoughts, she didn't want to go, but when she first arrived, she would have to stay in Hexian for a long time, and she always had to find out whether the water outside Hexian was clear or muddy.

"Madame really should go, but this post says that Mrs. is invited to go to another village ten miles away from Hexian County to enjoy plum blossoms, so you can't go back and forth that day, you have to stay there."

In this way, it will take three days of hard work.

After Zhenxiang was sure that Xin Yi was going, she began to rummage through the cabinets, tossing and turning to prepare this and that.

Xin Yi couldn't laugh or cry, "It's really fragrant, I'll go for three days." ”

True incense,

"Then you can't be sloppy, girl, you're from the capital, I don't know how many people look at you, as long as your things are a little wrong, you will be remembered for a lifetime."

"What's more, such a post must not be given to Mrs. One, will others bring fewer things?"

Don't look at her real fragrance is the adult who picked her out from the secret guard camp to serve Madame, she has been taught what the rules of the capital family.

If she wants to serve her wife for the rest of her life, she must be a first-class good maid, and she can't be compared to anyone.

Helpless, Xin Yi had to go out with several boxes of things.

Xiao Rusi didn't take it out, let him stay in the house with the nurse, it was freezing outside, Xin Yi didn't want him to go out, in case he caught a cold, it was no better than the capital, the imperial doctor or something, the medicinal herbs or something, you can have whatever you want.

She brought Maka, along with two guards.

The Zhuangzi who came this time was placed by Lord Huang's wife in Yanjun.

Lord Huang's wife is a girl from a declining family in the capital, and she is also related to the Xin family.

On the day of Xinyi's trip, the weather was wonderful, and the sun was shining warmly on people.

When she arrived, it was almost noon, and when she heard that the other people had already arrived, she followed the maid of the Huang family in, "Mrs. Xiao County Ling has arrived......

Those who arrived sat up straight and looked over the shadow wall outside the living room.

I saw a cloud of blue light flashing in the corner of the shadow wall, and a flowing group of clothes rose and fell with the footsteps, and then gently raised again, and a beautiful woman turned leisurely behind the shadow wall.

Looking at the past from afar, the youth is pressing, which makes this cold winter day a little more colorful, as if the flower rain in the entire Jiangnan is coming towards everyone at this moment.

The entire hall was stunned.

Her steps are leisurely and pleasant, and there is an indescribable rhythm in it, even if it is a court pen, it is difficult to describe what happens.

Xin Yi showed some of the things he had learned from the old lady, and this was only part of it.

When she arrived in the flower hall, she bowed lightly, "I've seen all the ladies." ”

Although she is also called 'Madame', now, her husband is only a seven-rank county magistrate, and his official position is lower than that of the husbands of these women here.

Her voice is crisp and pleasant, with a pleasant intimacy.

Mrs. Huang suddenly came back to her senses, "Mrs. Xiao, you don't have to be too much, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." ”

Before Xin Yi came, these women were whispering, and after seeing this, they talked even more.

"Didn't you hear that this girl from the Xin family is a vulgar and arrogant person who is illiterate?"

"Hey, I heard that this Mrs. Xin entered the city with Xiao County's order, and I heard that she was a vulgar person, but this ......"

"Hey, no one saw it at the time, I couldn't see what she looked like, I heard that the children were born, how could a god-like person like Lord Xiao marry a vulgar person. You're wrong. ”

Unexpectedly, what happened to the girl of the Xin family who was rude and arrogant?

So, everyone is looking away.

It is not known how many of the women in the room want to see the excitement, but this will be unprovoked.

Some people can't wait to fix those eyeballs on Xin Yi's dress and look carefully.

Such a beautiful woman with Zhong Lingyu, who dares to say that she is vulgar and arrogant? So who are they? Savages?

Mrs. Huang looked at Xin Yi who saluted her in front of her, and hurriedly stretched out her hand, "Mrs. Xiao doesn't need to be polite. ”

Xin Yi smiled, and after saluting, he sat down on the vacant seat on one side according to Mrs. Huang's wishes.

Everyone stared at her openly and secretly, especially the little ladies who followed the adults, and they also looked at Xin Yi with curious eyes.

Xin Yi is lips curled slightly, sat there quietly, and let everyone look at him generously.

Mrs. Huang's surprise was no less than others,

"Speaking of which, my mother's family has some relationship with my wife's mother's family, and I heard that the girls of the Xin family are all good. Today is better than seeing it. ”

"I didn't believe it when I heard the old man come back, but when I saw it today, it was true, if I got such a lady who looked like a fairy, I would definitely take it with me wherever I went."

Xin Yi maintained a gentle smile, slandering in her heart, was she laughing at her for following Xiao Yuanyou all the way to Hexian?

She said,

"Where can I get praise from Mrs., if you want to say that you are as beautiful as a fairy, these little girls today are."

"I'm just a married woman, just in charge of the housework, and I don't have a face to the sky."

"Today is a matter of proper packing, so as not to defile the eyes of the people."

Mrs. Huang saw that she was talking funny and smiled,

"Today is just a small gathering of us women who take care of the housework, everyone doesn't need to be restrained, especially Mrs. Xiao, this time I cheekily invited you to come over, hey, why didn't you bring your son-in-law here?"

Mrs. Huang seems to be a long-sleeved dancer, and she is really thoughtful, saying that it is a small gathering, but there are many people who come.

Probably the daughters of the officials of the Yan County Prefecture and the daughters of the counties under its jurisdiction were invited over.

She actually saw Li Zhukuai, she took off her costume and changed into a red suit, dressed up, and looked as delicate as a flower.

Looking at it this way, this Li Zhukuai is the same age as Xin Yi, and his appearance should be like Li Xiancheng's wife, with a round face and wheat-colored skin, although he is not so fair, he is still the blessed appearance that older women like.

She saw Mrs. Huang several times, and she glanced at Li Zhukuai.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand something, speaking of the red plum banquet organized by Mrs. Huang, it was actually just a blind date banquet in disguise.

It was Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Li County who looked at each other.

No wonder Mrs. Huang arranged it so thoughtfully.

Xin Yi replied a few words, and then stopped taking the initiative to speak, he seemed to be a peaceful person, and he didn't like to steal the limelight with others.

It's just that she is dressed in clothes, and it is really impossible to ignore her existence.

Mrs. Li Xiancheng, who was sitting opposite her, frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

When everyone talked about what should be done at the Red Plum Banquet, everyone began to discuss what you said and what I said.

But everyone is holding Mrs. Huang, who made her the daughter of the biggest official in Yanzhou County?

Of course, there is a bigger one in Yan County, that is, Princess Yan.

However, Princess Yan never went out of the palace door, although Yan County was the fief of King Yan, but Huang Dacai was the magistrate of Yan County.

Everyone said it was a discussion, but it was just a matter of giving some prizes and the like, and so on.

As for Mrs. Huang's various processes, no one talked about them.

Suddenly, a lady beside Mrs. Huang couldn't help but say,

"Mrs. Xiao, I don't know if you have any suggestions?"

Xin Yi, who was drinking tea and fugue, looked up in surprise and looked at everyone blankly.

"This is the female dependant of the prefect of Chen Tong."

Xin Yi asked, "Oh, I'm young and shallow, just waiting for an eye-opener, no advice. ”

The lady of the same acquaintance said, "Mrs. Xiao is really straightforward, and she is outspoken about her shortcomings, but doesn't the capital often enjoy flowers and the like?" How? Madame didn't attend? Or don't you want to discuss it with me and other border people? ”

Xin Yi smiled, "Then I don't know what Mrs. Tongzhi thinks?" ”

Yes, I'm just shallow, I just haven't participated in the flower party, so I have no opinion, you are not shallow, you have seen a lot of flower parties, then you have an opinion.

Xin Yi's eyes looked straight at Mrs. Tongzhi, and a pair of eyebrows were slightly raised, in the eyes of others, it seemed to be surprised, but in the eyes of Mrs. Tongzhi, it was just banter and mockery.

She choked her chest in one breath and said,

"Xin Weiwei, what do you mean?"

Xin Yi smiled with the teacup, he said earlier, what to pretend, I really didn't expect that there would be an acquaintance so far away.
