It was in the hall, the hall where Zhou Jinhuan ate and talked with them. The people present are also familiar to her, and naturally there are few people she is familiar with, that is, Hei Asan and Zhang Zilang.

The Zhou couple were not keen on officialdom and politics before their deaths, and they were killed on the way to debasement, so it's okay to have two of them, but it will still make people feel sad.

"Come here. It was Xiao Jingzhi's voice, how could she not want to go over, but she must have stumbled when she walked over at this time, she didn't dare to go, she was afraid that she would fall and be embarrassed, and she was even more afraid to see the pale and colorless faces of the Zhou couple and touch their cold and bodyless bodies.

Even though all the truth was already coming out, she was still afraid.

Xiao Jingzhi understood her too well, so he walked over, held her body that was about to slide, and said in her ear: "Be good, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Her hand trembled a little, and the hand holding Xiao Jingzhi tightened unconsciously, squeezing out a smile: "Okay." ”

Below the white cloth are two familiar faces to her, the strange thing is that she did not cry at this time, but knelt in front of their corpses, kowtowed again and again, and then said firmly: "Father, mother, it is the child who is not filial, let your life be on the way to Jinzhou, rest assured, no matter who that person is, the child will definitely avenge you." ”

"Get up first, so much has happened lately, and your health has been bad. Xiao Jingzhi helped her up, she leaned on him softly, and felt the stars spinning non-stop, making her dizzy.

"Brother and sister, this life is impermanent, you have to go with the flow, don't force it, it's fate. Hei Ah San's words don't seem to be my original, and the sentence "let it be" made her a little furious: "What does it mean to go with the flow, they were assassinated on the road, not died naturally!"

Regarding her overreaction, Xiao Jingzhi gently pulled her, and his face was ashamed: "Big Brother Hei, Jinhuan is in a bad mood, don't you go to your heart?"

Hei Ah San shook his head, the iron-clad man's eyes were also a little red, and he said softly: "Take good care of your younger siblings." ”

"People can't be resurrected after death, and Lord Zhou, they won't want to see you immersed in grief like this. Zhang Zilang walked over, and the words of comfort not only calmed Zhou Jinhuan down, but she was even more excited, and she couldn't find anything wrong with his words, but she was stunned and walked away: "I didn't know how much you and my father and mother moved around before, but now that you come over like this, are you helping Zhao Yu inquire about the news again?"

Women are people who are easy to hold grudges, especially Zhou Jinhuan, and she still remembers the bowls of pork skin soup that Zhao Yu forced her to drink. But even so, her words were too hurtful.

Zhang Zilang is not a very good talker, even more so in front of Zhou Jinhuan, he opened his mouth and closed it, Xiao Jingzhi gave him an apologetic look, he understood and left.

The deserted hall was now left with only two people and two corpses.

"Do you feel better now?" Xiao Jingzhi motioned for Su Wan to prepare some rice porridge, he believed that at this point in time, she must not have eaten anything.

"What did Dali Siqing say?" "If Dali Siqing had not made a decision, the bodies of the Zhou family and his wife would not be in the Zhou Mansion at this time.

"We got the news that the second elder was assassinated, but in fact they were poisoned, and it was a colorless and tasteless whooping red. Xiao Jingzhi's words didn't get Zhou Jinhuan's attention, and she was surprised by the following words.

"Dali Siqing found this poison in the food of the carriage, which was the Cheng Ji pastry we sent that day. ”

Cheng Ji pastries, didn't she buy them herself?

Her feet were unsteady and she stumbled a few times, if it weren't for Xiao Jingzhi by her side, she would have hit the edge of the table by this time.

"I went to buy that pastry, although I didn't eat it, but it shouldn't be like that, Jingzhi, did Dali Temple send someone to Chengji pastry shop to check?"

Steady down, she tried to find a breakthrough.

"This case was taken over by Dali Temple, and Cheng Ji's pastry shop has been sealed, but there is no other new news. Xiao Jingzhi pulled her to sit down and explained the situation to her, not wanting her to be so flustered.

"Zhao Yu said how long it will take for them to close the case?" Zhao Yu has always liked to set a deadline for people, and the officials of the imperial court were poisoned on the way, and it was impossible for him not to participate in such a bad incident.

"Not really. "There was one thing, he didn't want to say it, for fear that she would be emotional, but she was such a stubborn person, he couldn't say it.

Zhao Yu didn't say much about this matter, but his attitude was obvious and he treated it coldly. Now that the incident is being paid attention to by too many people, let Dali Temple check some leftovers, and when there are fewer people paying attention, they will find someone to take the blame and close the case casually. ”

"Why?"

"First, Zhao Yu has no good impression of the second elder, otherwise he would not demote them to other places, whether they are dead or alive has no meaning to him, and it can even be said that the death of the second elder can make him play a role in deterring the ministers; ”

"So, Daddy, they deserve to be dead?"

"No, Dali Temple investigates Dali Temple, we check ours. ”

Yes, why do you want to expect the group of idiots in Dali Temple, if you want to find the truth, you have to rely on yourself and catch the murderer with your own hands, so as to avenge the second elder.

"Since this is the case, then hurry up and let the second elder settle down. ”

Cheering up, Zhou Jinhuan can't let herself be immersed in sadness, she has a lot of things to do next.

On the day of the funeral of the Zhou couple, a lot of people came, led by Zhao Yu.

Xiao Jingzhi's words are not bad, and Zhao Yu should have been distressed recently, which can be seen from his slightly haggard face.

"Xiao Aiqing, Mrs. Right mourns. Zhao Yu walked over, his words were normal, but there was only indifference in his voice.

"Thank you for your care. Xiao Jingzhi pulled Zhou Jinhuan, and she followed the action of thanksgiving, lip-synching.

Recently, there was no trouble in the court, Zhao Yu just said a few words and left, and several snobbish ministers left in a hurry after Zhao Yu left.

"Lord Xiao, don't worry too much. "There was a kind man who walked over, about the same age as Zhou Ming, with a very beautiful long beard, and there was a little concern in his eyes.

"Lord Schelling cares, but Lord Lin shouldn't think too much. If she heard correctly, Xiao Jingzhi's words were obviously sarcastic.

"Why is Lord Lin uncomfortable at Lord Xiao's side?" Then another person came, that person was about forty years old, very thin, as if he couldn't even hold up his official uniform, and he had a shrewd face.

"Zhou Da did a lot of things for my Dayan before his death, can you let me give Zhou Da Ren another stick of incense?" The former didn't seem to hear anything, his expression was calm, Xiao Jingzhi nodded: "That's nature, Xiaozhu, take the adults to incense." ”

"Then I'll go and put on more incense, Lord Xiao won't disagree, right?" Xiao Jingzhi nodded, and the shrewd-looking person followed.

When the two of them walked away, Zhou Jinhuan finally couldn't help it and asked, "Who are those two?"

"The first to speak was Lord Lin Lianlin, and now he has been restored to the position of prime minister, and the latter is Master Kong Fankong. ”

"If it weren't for their father, how could things have come to this point, you are still so polite to them, you should have swept them out of the house!"

"In officialdom, not all likes and dislikes can be put on your face. ”

Therefore, the ugliest person in the world is a politician.

After the Zhou couple were buried, Zhou Jinhuan finally had the heart to find the truth about their poisoning.

She once drove the Zhou couple to Jinzhou alone, and found nothing along the way.

It's been less than a week since it happened, but all traces have been found.

"Why is there no trace of it, didn't you say that it was poisoned, as for some hundred days of red poison, right?"

She muttered and returned to the room, not even noticing that Xiao Jingzhi was staring at her with her arms around her.

"I couldn't find anyone early in the morning, and now I'm going back, where have you been?"

He was sure that if he didn't speak to prove his existence, she wouldn't have noticed anyone else in the room for a while.

"Eh, why are you here?"

"My good lady, you are too domineering, after all, half of this room belongs to me, right?"

Summer is easy to sweat, and Zhou Jinhuan has just returned from other places, so she is naturally covered with sweat.

"Drink a cup of herbal tea first, slowly, I don't know what to do, why are you tired like this?"

She was really tired from being on horseback for almost half the day, and she told him about today's harvest while drinking tea.

Xiao Jingzhi smiled unkindly: "You didn't go out before dawn, and now you are staring at the sun and coming back, just to find clues?"

"You be serious, this is about the death of my father, of course I have to be careful, sleep until I wake up naturally like you, my heart is not so big. ”

"I just said that Dali Temple didn't care about doing things, but I didn't say that they didn't do anything. ”

This sentence lit up Zhou Jinhuan's face at once, preserving the objects on the scene is one of the jobs of Dali Temple, how can she be so stupid?

It may be that there have been too many things lately, and her IQ and balance are a little insufficient.

"Then let's go to Dali Temple at night, shall we?"

It's noon, and it seems too dangerous to go to Dali Temple during the day, and darkness is the best protective color.

"You're not worried that we won't be able to enter the door of Dali Temple?"

This is natural, he was able to quietly put her back into the palace with light skills, what is Dali Temple afraid of now? No matter how strict the garrison of Dali Temple is, can it be compared to the palace?

In fact, her idea was right, that night, Xiao Jingzhi took Zhou Jinhuan, who did not have any martial arts, into Dali Temple very successfully.

But Dali Temple is too big, who can know where those things of the Zhou couple are, and the sky is still so dark?

"Don't worry, follow me. ”

Xiao Jingzhi walked in front very confidently, and she followed behind.

He pushed open a room, took something, silenced her, and led her up to the tree.

"How do you know this place so well?"

"You are allowed to ride a horse to find clues, and I am not allowed to squat in Dali Temple to find clues?"

"I'm sorry. Thinking that he complained that he didn't care about the affairs of the Zhou couple, she still blushed a little, so he rubbed her hair, gave her something, and said softly: "Let's see if there will be any gains." ”

The Zhou couple was going to Jinzhou to take up their duties, so they brought a lot of things, but not many of them could enter the eyes of Dali Temple.

Half-eaten pastries, clothes pierced by swords, and nothing else.

Among the clothes with blood stains and mud, Zhou Jinhuan found a special one.

At first, she thought it was a piece on Zhou Ming's official uniform, a piece deliberately cut off by the murderer to cover up their real death, but in fact it was not.

"Jing Zhi, do you know what specifications of Fang Zhoumu's clothes are?" When she said this, she still had a smile on her face, and she found the breakthrough in the case.

"Are you saying that this piece of clothing is not my father-in-law's, but the murderer's?"
