Kitano Xuan smiled and said softly: "It's okay, this matter is just someone playing tricks behind the scenes, it's not a big deal." ”

Su Xiaoya saw that Kitano Xuan had been insisting like this, and finally had to listen to Kitano Xuan's opinion and let Kitano Xuan investigate the case.

Before Kitano Xuan could bring the letter from Emperor Yongping to him to find the prefectural magistrate, the prefectural magistrate took the initiative to come over and find Kitano Xuan, but betrayed him with a flattering smile on his face.

"It's really that the lower officials don't know Mount Tai, and they don't even know that Your Excellency is the dignified His Royal Highness, it's all the fault of the lower officials, if there is anything that offends the prince, please don't take it to heart," the county commander was panicked, for fear that Kitano Xuan would hold a grudge,

Kitano Xuan smiled and asked, "How did the county magistrate learn so quickly that the emperor had sent me to take charge of this matter?" Even I just found out about it, and it seems that the news of the prefectural magistrate is really well-informed! ”

The county magistrate looked at Kitano Xuan's playful face, lowered his head in shame and said, "This ...... Isn't this case getting bigger and bigger now? Xia Guan was also terrified in his heart, for fear that the higher authorities would blame him......"

This county magistrate is also a smart man, and he knows when to flatter and when to tell the truth. If he lied just now, I'm afraid that after Kitanogen solves this case, the first person to clean up will be this county magistrate.

"Actually, the prince also knows that it's not that Xia Guan doesn't want to investigate this case, but it's because the body of the ancient son has been brought back at the beginning, even if we want to think of evidence to investigate the criminal, we can't do it!" The prefectural magistrate was in a hurry, and hurriedly told Kitano Xuan the cause of the incident.

Kitano Xuan intended to investigate this case, and naturally knew what the county magistrate said, so he nodded: "I already know all this, you can talk about something I don't know now." ”

Don't know something? The county magistrate thought about it in his heart, and then said: "By the way, after our discussion with the family, we have investigated several corpses except for Gu Gongzi, and these men are all similar in age except for some similarity, there is no other possibility." ”

Kitano Xuan was slightly disappointed in his heart, but there was still a clue now, which was much better than nothing before.

"In that case...... The county magistrate is now confirmed, and there are no other clues, right? Kitano asked with a headache.

The prefectural magistrate nodded: "That's true." It's just that if the prince wants to know more, he can go to our county office, and those corpses are still stored in the county office for the time being. ”

Kitano Xuan nodded, and was about to rest for a while before thinking of other ways, but saw that the county magistrate was looking at him with an eager face: "Is there anything else?" ”

The county magistrate nodded hurriedly: "This ...... Isn't this the prince coming to investigate this matter, Xia Guan has already prepared some wine and food in the restaurant, and asked the prince to come over for a meal together......"

Beiye Xuan thought about it in his heart, this county order probably wanted to test himself, presumably the county order must not have done anything good in Jiangnan all these years, so he wanted to please himself now.

"Since the prefectural magistrate has invited me so kindly, then I can't refuse it. But my lady is going to be with me. Kitano Xuan glanced at Su Xiaoya next to him, he was a little worried about letting Su Xiaoya stay alone in the mansion.

The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "This is natural, the princess deigned to come to our small place, what is the hospitality, please forgive the princess." ”

Su Xiaoya didn't like this county order very much, and always felt that his words were a little treacherous, not like an official, but like a profiteer.

The prefectural order prepared for Kitano and the two was one of the best restaurants in the city. It's just that the taste of this Jiangnan is light, and the dishes on the table are mainly fresh and fragrant, and Kitano Xuan put down his chopsticks without eating two bites.

"Lord Prefectural, I wonder if anything has happened in this city in the last few years? These recent cases have been related to young men, and I think there should be some connection between that. Kitano asked as soon as he put down his chopsticks.

Seeing that Kitano Xuan had put down his chopsticks, the county commander hurriedly stopped his hand that was eating, and looked at Kitano Xuan with some crampedness: "What...... What's the matter? You also know that although our place is small, the people are simple, how can anything happen! ”

The county magistrate laughed twice, and seeing that Kitano Xuan and Su Xiaoya were both looking at him indifferently, the county magistrate had to put away his smile very embarrassed.

Su Xiaoya pursed her lips impatiently, and asked directly: "Lord County Commander, let's put it this way, have there been any sensational homicide cases or other sensational cases in your city in recent years?" ”

"What the princess said, what kind of murder case is not a sensation? It's just that you also know here that there are just such a few people in total, how can there be such a grudge that wants human life when everyone looks down and doesn't look up? The county magistrate still said stiffly.

Kitano Xuan saw that this prefectural order had already made up his mind and didn't say anything, so he knew it in his heart, and no longer asked this prefectural order about what had happened in the city in recent years.

After separating from the restaurant and the county order, Su Xiaoya directly dragged Beiye Xuan to a teahouse next to her.

"What are you bringing me to a place like this?" Kitano asked puzzled.

Su Xiaoya smiled mysteriously, and after entering the teahouse, she called Xiao Er, ordered a pot of tea and a little heart, and then said, "If Xianggong wants to know some things happening in the city, it is better to come to this kind of place." This teahouse is where all the gossip comes together. ”

Su Xiaoya thought to herself that she had watched a lot of TV series, didn't the protagonist get important information from places like teahouses?

Bei Ye Xuan was stunned, and watched Su Xiaoya and Xiao Er, who was pouring water, almost close.

"I think your city seems to be quite peaceful, huh? Presumably your prefectural magistrate doesn't have much to do all day, right? Su Xiaoya asked seemingly unintentionally.

Xiao Er smiled and said nonchalantly: "Calm is calm, but when it's not calm, there are a lot of things that happen!" ”

Su Xiaoya looked at Xiao Er in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Really?" But I think you're pretty safe here! ”

"Madame must have come from outside, right? You just came here and don't know, we just had a few cases of floating corpses here a few days ago, do you think this is calm or not?! Xiao Er smiled and asked Su Xiaoya rhetorically.

Su Xiaoya silently took out a tael of silver ingots from her purse, put them into Xiao Er's hand and asked, "This little brother, we husband and wife didn't know anything just now. It's just that you just said that this case of floating corpses, I don't know if there have been any homicide cases before? ”

Xiao Er's eyes straightened when he saw the silver ingot, and he looked at Su Xiaoya's face, and only thought that the couple just wanted to settle here, and asking these things was just to make sure that this small city was safe or not.

"Madame, don't say it, something has really happened. It was half a year ago that the girl of the Liu family in the east of the city was suddenly killed after being ruined, and the people in the city were scared and didn't dare to go out at that time! Who knows that it didn't take long for the county magistrate to say that this was done by a foreigner passing by us, and it was just a matter of it," Xiao Er sighed, as if he was a little sorry.

Su Xiaoya subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Beiye Xuan, and instinctively felt that this matter must be related to these recent events.

Kitano Xuan, who had been silent, asked, "Then won't the Liu family make trouble?" After all, the murderer has not yet been caught. ”

Xiao Er shook his head and said, "Trouble, how can you not make trouble?" My daughter was ruined and lost her life, who is not a father and mother? But our county magistrate ...... Alas, but after this incident, the Liu family's master Liu disappeared. I'm afraid I'm sad and left. ”

After speaking, Xiao Er shook his head and left.

When Xiao Er walked away, Su Xiaoya said: "I think this old man of the Liu family must be suspicious, and his daughter will not give up if she dies." ”

Kitano Xuan also nodded: "Indeed, then we are not confused now." As long as you start with this Liu family, you will definitely be able to find the real culprit behind the scenes. ”

"I really didn't expect that this county order is really not human. I thought he was just a liking and muddy person, but I didn't expect it...... He was able to vaguely pass this kind of murder case! Su Xiaoya was very disdainful in her heart, although she didn't have a daughter, she could still imagine the grief of the old man of the Liu family after he learned about his daughter's death.

Kitano Xuan snorted coldly, with a cold glint in his eyes: "Keep this corrupt official for the time being, and wait until this matter is resolved, and then slowly deal with this corrupt official." I really can't imagine that there is such a moth in such a simple place! ”

If this county order is lazy, Kitano Xuan can still turn a blind eye, but this county order actually disregards people's lives...... Kitano Xuan can't stand this kind of corrupt officials.

"So what do we do now? This county order doesn't say anything about the Liu family, and we're afraid we can't know those details about the year from the county order. The old man of the Liu family disappeared again. Su Xiaoya held her chin and said helplessly.

Kitano Xuan thought for a moment and said, "This shouldn't be too much of a problem. As long as this old man of the Liu family is still alive, he must be able to find out a little clue. ”

Su Xiaoya didn't quite agree with Kitano Xuan's words: "Xianggong is so confident that he will definitely be able to find the disappeared Liu family master in this vast sea of people?" If this person wants to hide from others, it is very easy to do it. ”
