After some discussion, the husband and wife decided to leave Leshan and Leshui in Northern Xinjiang, and Beiye Xuan and his wife took Ah Jin back to Dayong first, where Qingrong and Qingyan could serve Su Xiaoya.

"Childe, madam, Jiangnan City is not far ahead, I don't know if the lady is about to get off from here?" Ah Jin, who was outside the carriage, suddenly asked loudly.

Su Xiaoya thought for a while and said, "No need, let's go to the mansion first." ”

Fortunately, Beiye Xuan knew a lot of people in Dayong, and this time it was also because of Beiye Xuan's relationship that they were able to buy a house in Jiangnan City first.

The husband and wife staggered into the city half an hour later, and it didn't take long for Su Xiaoya to rush to Beiye Xuan to prepare to go boating in the lake.

"Has Xianggong ever been to such a place? This Jiangnan does look different from others! Su Xiaoya smiled and looked outside through the curtain by the window and asked.

Bei Yexuan shook his head, if he hadn't met Su Xiaoya in this life, I was afraid that he would only stay in a small place like Dayong forever.

Su Xiaoya smiled and was about to say something else, but suddenly heard Ah Jin and Qingrong outside shouting.

"What's going on? Is something going on out there? Su Xiaoya was shocked, there must have been an accident outside, otherwise Qingrong and Ah Jin would not be like this.

Qingrong hurriedly ran in from outside and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just ...... There seems to be something else on the surface of the lake. Qingrong didn't dare to say any more.

Su Xiaoya and Kitano Xuan glanced at each other, and the next second they were ready to go out to have a look.

The movement outside had already started, and by the time Kitano Xuanhe Su Xiaoya came out, the people outside had already begun to talk about it.

"Who knows, it is said that these two have just arrived with us, maybe they are them."

"That is, it is not impossible for a thief to shout to catch a thief. I don't think these two people look like good people. ”

"Oh, I heard that the two of them seem to have just returned from the Northern Frontier, right? What do good people do in northern Xinjiang? At first glance, he is not a good person. ”

"That's right, outsiders aren't usually good people anyway."

Su Xiaoya was dumbfounded, although she is not from Jiangnan, she is also from Dayong, what she has done from beginning to end is for Dayong, when did she betray Dayong?

Kitano Xuan was also a little angry, and said directly: "You said these words without any evidence, and if you have any evidence, you can take it out directly." If there is no evidence...... I've written down all the people who were talking nonsense with their eyes open! ”

Everyone was taken aback, so they had to quickly shut their mouths.

After a while, the county magistrate brought someone over, and after a little investigation, he found that the person who died lying in the river turned out to be the son of the richest man in Jiangnan, Gu Lingfeng.

"Have any of you seen anyone suspicious around here?" The county magistrate glanced around, and finally landed his eyes on Kitano Xuan and Su Xiaoya.

Everyone thought that the county magistrate would take these two people away as suspects, but who knew that the county magistrate just glanced at them lightly, and then turned his eyes away.

"My lord, I don't know what the adults are talking about to be called suspicious people?" Suddenly, a gray-faced man in the crowd stretched out his head and asked, his eyes looking at Kitano Xuan intentionally or unintentionally.

The county magistrate sneered: "Second Zhang, this official is not suspicious of anyone now, but your sneaky appearance is the most suspicious." ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

It's just that Kitano Xuan and Su Xiaoya are outsiders after all, so they were taken to the mansion by the county magistrate.

"I didn't mean anything else to bring you here, I just came here to register their information. If there is something else in the future, then there is no need to trouble the two of you. "The county magistrate said very politely, and he didn't look arrogant at all.

I thought that this matter would end for the time being here, but who knew that the richest man in Jiangnan would personally go to the door of the county government at night.

Su Xiaoya was sitting in the room with Kitano Xuan to eat, when she heard a noise outside, as if they were arguing about what to get off work.

"Don't give me a perfunctory here, if you don't investigate how my son died, don't even think about running away from anyone in your county office!" An unfamiliar old man's voice said.

Su Xiaoya turned her head to look at Beiye Xuan: "It seems that it should be the father of Gu Lingfeng Gu Gongzi, Gu Master." I really don't know. Gu Gongzi would have a grudge against others......"

Su Xiaoya still remembers the appearance of Gu Lingfeng when he died, his face was pale, and his face was different from that of a normal person after he died, and most importantly, Gu Lingfeng was still holding a small plum blossom hairpin in his arms.

There was still a commotion outside, but Kitano Xuan didn't let Su Xiaoya continue to watch.

When the next day opened, Bei Ye Xuan and Su Xiaoya symbolically found out and said two sentences.

“…… Since the two of you have said that this matter has nothing to do with you, then you two should not walk around during this period, and try to stay in the county as much as possible, you know? The prefectural magistrate said suddenly.

It seems that this county magistrate is not a corrupt official or something, Kitano Xuan knows it in his heart,

Back in the mansion, Su Xiaoya was still thinking about it: "Speaking of which, if that Gu Lingfeng's corpse could be taken for observation, it wouldn't be black now." ”

Although the work ability of the ancient servants was not very high, they were able to find out the cause of death.

Kitano Xuan also thinks so: "Having said that, but this Gu Lingfeng is the son of the richest man, how can he be willing to give his son away to others to do that?" ”

Su Xiaoya then stopped talking, these concepts are extremely pedantic, shouldn't it be more important to find the real culprit now than to keep Gu Lingfeng's body?

In the next few days, there were several more corpses in the inland of the city and river, and the cause of death of these corpses was exactly the same as that of Gu Lingfeng, which made people panic for a while.

"Have you heard of it, it is said that the ancient prince died in vain, so now I want to find a few substitutes for the dead ghosts!"

"What kind of dead ghost, the ancient son of the family is already dead, and the corpse has been buried. I see, this is the same person who killed Gu Gongzi to do this kind of thing. ”

"But this Gu Gongzi is just an ordinary son, why did you say that murderer killed Gu Gongzi? Even if his family has money, what can he get by killing him? ”

In the past few days, no matter where Su Xiaoya and Bei Yexuan went, they could always hear people in the city talking about this matter, and some had even begun to bet on what the real cause of Gu Gongzi's death was.

Su Xiaoya pulled the clothes of Beiye Xuan next to her, and said without a trace: "Xianggong, what do you say is going on with this matter?" Okay, why are there so many corpses in the city all of a sudden? ”

Moreover, the families of these corpses didn't know about it at first, and it was only after the corpses appeared that those families knew that their father-in-law and son were no longer in this world.

Kitano Xuan shook his head, this matter was indeed a little strange, and he didn't think about what was going on for the time being.

"You still don't have to go out all the time these days, it's not safe outside now, so it's better to stay at home." Kitano Xuan squeezed Su Xiaoya's hand and said.

As the number of victims increased, the county magistrate couldn't bear the pressure, so he had to write a letter and report it to Emperor Yongping, hoping that Emperor Yongping would send someone to investigate the matter.

Emperor Yongping didn't pay much attention to it when he received the letter, and Wei Ning, who was still standing and waiting, said "huh" softly.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Yongping looked at the fold in front of him and asked without raising his head.

Wei Ning hurriedly said: "The slave just suddenly remembered, not long ago, Ah Jin seemed to have returned to the palace, saying that the prince took the princess to Jiangnan, presumably he should have arrived in Jiangnan by now." ”

However, Jiangnan is still in such turmoil.

The more Emperor Yongping thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he picked up the letter again, and after reading it for a long time, he said: "Since this guy is already in Jiangnan, let him do this matter, he has been hiding from me for so long, I don't believe that he still wants to hide from me like this all the time." ”

Wei Ning was happy in his heart, and hurriedly took the recital approved by Emperor Yongping and prepared to send it to Jiangnan.

In Jiangnan Mansion, Beiye Xuan is accompanying Su Xiaoya to make impatiens juice, and the nails that come out of this will be very good-looking.

"Childe, there is a letter from you outside, saying that it must be delivered to Childe." Ah Jin's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't understand who sent this to Kitano Xuan.

Kitano didn't think much about it, and directly reached out and took the letter.

It's just that the more Kitano Xuan looked at it, the more his brows became furrowed.

"What the hell is going on? Who sent this? Su Xiaoya noticed Kitano Xuan's strange appearance and hurriedly asked softly.

Kitano Xuan shook his head and didn't speak, but handed the letter in his hand to Su Xiaoya's hand.

This letter was sent by Emperor Yongping Wei Ning, appointing Kitano Xuan as the organizer of the investigation of the Jiangnan floating corpse case, even the county magistrate had to obey Kitano Xuan's dispatch,

"This ...... How did the emperor know that we had returned to Dayong? I remember we didn't tell anyone else! Even Su Xiaoya's family, they didn't tell it.

Kitano Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, Emperor Yongping is the emperor, can there be anything in this world that Emperor Yongping doesn't know? As long as Emperor Yongping has this thought, then he can easily investigate.

Looking at the word "San Lang" on the letter, Kitano Xuan sighed and said, "I thought he would come to me for a long time, but I didn't expect this to come so quickly." ”

"Is the prime minister really going to investigate this case? There's something strange about it, and I'm afraid it's going to be dangerous. Su Xiaoya was suddenly a little reluctant to let Beiye Xuan investigate this matter.
