Zhao Yi is still very reliable.

The people he sent out were equally powerful.

Just when everyone was talking and didn't wait too long, someone came to report that they found the man Xu Zhao on the previous flower boat at the end of the moat.

When they found Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao, who was unconscious, was lying on an extremely simple and inconspicuous bamboo raft floating along the moat.

His body was covered with a layer of bamboo-green things.

When Zhao Yi's men salvaged Xu Zhao and brought him to him, Zhao Yi patted his face and called him.

Seeing that he didn't react, he asked the doctor to come over.

The doctor arrived almost instantly.

He hurried to Xu Zhao and then squatted down to help him take his pulse, and then came to the conclusion that Xu Zhao had been drugged with a large dose.

That dose of the drug would have made him sleep for at least a whole day.

This means that if you start investigating this matter from Xu Zhao alone, it will inevitably drag on for a day.

Zhao Yi told the doctor to find a way to make Xu Zhao wake up as soon as possible, and at the same time actively continued to investigate from other aspects.

Soon, someone came to report that they had found a body from the burned place where the boat had been burned.

Judging by the characterization, it was a female corpse.

But her specific appearance was the same as the others, but she was burned by the fire, and she couldn't see anything at all.

The moment they heard that it was a female corpse, everyone subconsciously felt that the person who was burned to death must be Xiao Ji who was standing on the flower boat.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion, and all kinds of regrets sounded.

Some people even said that Xu Zhao must have been interested in seeing the color, and wanted to threaten Xiao Ji when he entered the cabin, but Xiao Ji did not comply, so Xu Zhao held a grudge and set fire to the ship.

However, as soon as this speculation came out, it was immediately stopped and refuted by the people around him.

Although the people present are all ordinary people, and they all stay here in the name of watching the excitement.

But that doesn't mean everyone is stupid.

Everyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Ji will always look at the kind of literati with literary talents.

Xu Zhao was invited to the flower boat to revise the score in front of so many people, which shows that he has been recognized by Xiao Ji.

After all, Xiao Ji's temperament is cold and arrogant, and everyone knows it.

In this case, why would Xu Zhao do to Xiao Ji in front of everyone?

Isn't that obvious?

In other words, the previous speculations of those people are not valid at all.

At present, the biggest doubt is why the flower boat caught fire in an instant, and who is the person who was burned to death, is it Xiao Ji.

One more point.

Why did Xu Zhao fall unconscious, did he swallow this medicine by himself, or was he framed and drugged?

Either way, it's particularly curious.

Zhao Yi didn't care about other people's discussions, he thought calmly for a while, and then opened his mouth and ordered someone to bring the maid who served Xiao Ji up.

In addition to Xiao Ji's maid, he also sent someone to invite Jiang Qingyuan's mother, along with several people who had a good relationship with Xiao Ji in the past.

After those people were invited, Zhao Yi instructed them to identify the corpse and see if they could see something famous.

As a result, it didn't take long for them to cover their mouths and noses with veils, and they showed their sadness, whether real or false.

"My lord, this person is our Jiang Qingyuan's Xiao Ji girl!"

"My lord, you must be the master of our Xiao Ji girl!"

"A good person, who was fine before going out, how could he become such a miserable appearance in the blink of an eye!"

"Yes, although my girl looked a little colder in the past, she is still very good, please ask the adult to be the master of our girl!"

“……”

Among those people, it was Jiang Qingyuan's mother who cried the saddest, originally it was just sadness, but since she started crying, she has been crying more and more uncontrollably.

"Don't cry. Why are you so sure that this corpse must be Miss Xiao Ji? Zhao Yi asked.

"My lord, what Xiao Ji wore before leaving Jiang Qingyuan in the morning, what kind of incense she sprinkled, how fat and thin she was, as Jiang Qingyuan's mother, naturally I know best."

"This figure, like this, looks like our poor Xiao Ji girl in Jiang Qingyuan!"

"My lord, you must be the master of Miss Xiao Ji, how long has she been in our Jiang Qingyuan, I haven't ...... Whining. ”

The mother in charge did not continue to say the rest of the words, but turned into a sad cry.

Zhao Yi pressed his head with a headache, and then pointed to Xiao Ji's sticker, and asked.

"Tell me, how did you identify her?"

"Returning to my lord, the slave maid is Miss Xiao Ji's personal maid, and it was the slave maid who helped her dress up in the morning."

"The accessories around this neck are the ones that the slave maid brought for Miss Xiao Ji herself."

"I won't admit it."

“……”

Hearing those people say this, the expressions of the onlookers were instantly full of regret, disappointment, sadness, pity, pity, pity, p

Why is such a good-looking and excellent Xiao Ji girl suddenly gone?

Ay.

"Tell me all about your girl's recent movements." Zhao Yi's face remained unchanged and inquired carefully.

"Yes, sir. That's it, slave ......"

In this kung fu, the doctor who helped Xu Zhao treat his illness saw that he was okay, and had already sent someone to help him ask for help.

When the new doctor arrived, he came to the exact same conclusion as the previous doctor.

However, he was not at a loss, but unhurriedly fed Xu Zhao's mouth with medicine.

Then, he took out the acupuncture bag and stabbed several acupuncture points on his neck, arms, and head.

After the acupuncture was over, he took out a small bottle and put it under Xu Zhao's nose and moved it back and forth a few times.

When he was done, he gracefully collected his medicine kit and got up to stand aside.

Not long after he got up and stood up, Xu Zhao, who was lying there, coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes.

"My lord, he's awake!"

"Hmm." When Zhao Yi nodded in response, he happened to listen to Xiao Ji's maid finish everything she knew.

He raised his feet and walked up to Xu Zhao and squatted down, and asked with a hint of concern in his tone.

"Lord Xu, are you awake? How do you feel? ”

"I'm fine, what's wrong with me?" When Xu Zhao said this, he couldn't help but glance around.

When he inadvertently glanced in the direction of the fire in the flower boat, his face was shocked.

"What's going on? What about Miss Xiao Ji? ”

"Lord Xu might as well come over and identify, this person is Xiao Ji?" Zhao Yi got up and pointed in the direction of the corpse.

"This ......" Xu Zhao seemed to be struck, and there was a half-quarter of an hour of sluggishness and disbelief on his face.

How can a good person suddenly become a dry corpse?

What happened while he was unconscious?

"Lord Xu, before the fire on the flower boat, you were the only one who approached, during that time, did you find anything strange?" Zhao Yi asked.

"Nope. After I helped Miss Xiao Ji change the score, Miss Xiao Ji told me that I could sit in the cabin for a while and help her taste the new music score. ”

"Not long after I sat in, I suddenly fell unconscious."

"Suddenly unconscious? Who did you see before you fell unconscious? Or what have you been exposed to? For example, tea and snacks? Or do you smell something? Zhao Yi asked.

"Nope." Xu Zhao hesitated a little and replied.

"Last question, I don't know what is the relationship between Lord Xu and Miss Xiao Ji?"

"I wanted to help her redeem herself, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen." Xu Zhao's eyes were filled with a hint of sadness.

He did feel a feeling of pity for Xiao Ji, and even had a feeling that he couldn't explain himself.

But what he felt was that Xiao Ji had no feelings for him, no admiration, and just a little more closeness than others.

He doesn't like to do that kind of thing that is forced by strong people, so he treats Xiao Ji as a poor fellow countryman and wants to help her.

After helping her, I will never see her again, and I can be regarded as breaking the unrealistic thoughts in my heart.

But who would have thought that the flower boat would catch fire? Xiao Ji was also burned to death?

Looking at the charred female corpse, Xu Zhao's heart was indescribable.

Is this person really Xiao Ji?

It always feels like it shouldn't be like this.

"Lord Xu, do you recognize it?"

"I ...... I don't know, I can't make out it. Xu Zhao shook his head honestly.

The few times he met Xiao Ji, every time he was particularly polite, he never crossed the thunder pool half a step.

He didn't even take it seriously, and he really stared at Xiao Ji in detail.

No.

It was at this time that Xiao Ji's maid suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Yi crying and spoke.

"My lord, when my girl had an accident, he was the only one around, and he must have set fire to the flower boat, which killed a human life."

"My lord, please call the shots for our girls."

"He's unconscious, where is the time to set fire to the ship? Besides, what was his motivation for doing so? Zhao Yi asked.

Hearing Zhao Yi ask, the maid's eyes quickly crossed a trace of something, and then she spoke with a thick despair in her tone.

"My lord, is it true that my girl died in vain? Do you want officials to protect each other? ”

"I'm not convinced."

After saying this, the girl very resolutely plucked a hairpin from her head and pierced it towards her neck.

"Stop!" Zhao Yi couldn't help but shout.

“！！！” Xu Zhao, who was standing there, looked stupid.

By the time he reacted, the maid was already lying on the ground with a sluggish expression, and the hairpin in her hand didn't know what had hit the ground.

There was also a less noticeable trail of blood on her neck.

"This ...... This girl is too loyal, isn't she? ”

"Who's to say it isn't? It's hard to be true......"

"Shhh

The chatter around was much quieter, and everyone was watching the scene in front of them closely, wanting to see how it would end next.

"It's really not me." Xu Zhao spoke a little weakly.

"It's not you, isn't it possible that my girl burned the flower boat and set herself on fire?" The maid sneered.

As soon as this question came out, a rhetorical question suddenly came from afar.

"Isn't it?"
