The appearance of that rhetorical question instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

The person who came was not someone else, it was Lin Shenyuan's side chasing the wind.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Yi looked at Chasing Wind and asked.

Not to mention Zhao Yi, this question is simply a question that everyone present wants to ask.

"It's literal, the flower boat was set on fire by Xiao Ji herself, and Lord Xu Zhao was stunned by Xiao Ji."

"How is this possible? Good manner, why did Miss Xiao Ji set fire to herself? ”

"Yes, a girl who is like a flower and jade suddenly set fire to herself on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, who can do such a thing?"

"I don't know if I'm talking nonsense with my eyes open?"

"Isn't that it?"

"Anyway, Miss Xiao Ji is dead, you can say whatever you want, it's not up to you to have the final say?"

“……”

"Dead? Who said Xiao Ji died? Chasing the wind chuckled, then pinched his fingers and whistled.

Soon, the crowd saw two men in black clothes holding a ragged beggar approaching.

"What is this?"

As soon as Zhao Yi finished asking, he saw Chasing Feng walking up to the beggar and looking at him and said.

"Do you do it yourself, or will I help you?"

"I'll do it myself." After the beggar finished speaking, the man who was pressing him next to him immediately released his hand.

Then I saw the inconspicuous beggar reach out and remove the messy wig from his head, and pull off the dirty clothes outside.

A standard beauty appeared in front of everyone in an instant, and everyone present was stunned.

Xiao ...... Xiao Ji? ”

"It turns out that Xiao Ji is really not dead? Who was the man who was burned to death? ”

"What the hell is going on? How do I feel confused? ”

“……”

In the face of those doubtful discussions, Xiao Ji didn't pay attention to them at all, just stood there lightly with an indifferent expression.

"Miss Xiao Ji, you ......"

Xu Zhao walked up to her and looked at the woman who had become strange for a moment, and felt a little stuffy in his chest for a while, and the words he was about to ask were suddenly stuck in his throat.

"I'm sorry, I said you were a fellow countryman and lied to you."

"yes, I see." Xu Zhao nodded with some difficulty.

So, Xiao Ji at this moment is what she should be, right?

Xiao Ji who was presented in front of him before was actually disguised.

And what he likes and wants to help is just a person in disguise.

If today, Xiao Ji, who is disguised here, is not caught, maybe he will become the murderer of Xiao Ji.

So what is he going to face......

Thinking of this, and then thinking of him who had been working hard to help Xiao Ji before, Xu Zhao only felt that the whole person's eyes were a little black.

My heart was stuffy and bitter.

"Miss Xiao Ji, we suspect that the flower boat is on fire, and this unknown female corpse is related to you, come with us." Zhao Yi came over and said.

"Okay." Xiao Ji nodded.

It's like this, she can't run away at all, what else can she do except cooperate?

She thought that her plan was seamless, but who would have thought that she would be discovered and caught?

"Lord Xu, I'm sorry for your trouble, you have to come with us first."

"Well, let's go." Xu Zhao nodded and followed behind them.

So, in full view of everyone, Xiao Ji, Xu Zhao, and the female corpse, Xiao Ji's maid and others were all taken away by Zhao Yi's people.

After everyone gathered around and discussed a few words about the fire in the painting boat, they dispersed.

Upstairs, after seeing this scene, Bai Jinli couldn't help asking, "Xianggong, don't you have to go over and take a look?" ”

"Not yet. Xiao Ji will explain everything clearly. ”

"Lady, I want to invite Xu Zhao to drink at night."

"Well, go ahead." Bai Jinli nodded.

The fire in the painting boat came to an end on the third day after the Dragon Boat Festival.

The spontaneous combustion of the painting boat was indeed arranged by Xiao Ji herself.

She found a female corpse that matched her well in advance and hid it in the painting boat, and laid out all the escape routes and everything.

is to frame Xu Zhao, and then take the opportunity to cause conflicts between Xu Zhao and others.

And her departure was also met by others, and the person who answered her was also imprisoned at the moment.

In the end, it was concluded that Xiao Ji was actually a spy sent by the tortoiseshell country.

In addition to her and the person who answered her, there should be other female spies in the capital.

His Majesty was furious when he learned of this, and ordered a thorough investigation.

Within three or five days, a list was handed to His Majesty's table.

His Majesty pinched the list and looked at it for a long time, and then summoned several ministers to secretly enter the palace overnight.

No one knows what His Majesty said to them.

It was only in the following days that the ministers who had been summoned to the palace died in their homes, either overtly or covertly.

Some are the minister's concubines, some are the minister's outer chambers, and there are serving women in the palace, etc.

The capital seems to be as prosperous as ever, but who would have expected it.

During the inadvertent period, the capital has already experienced several ups and downs.

After this matter was finally resolved, Zhao Yi, as the main person in charge of handling this incident, also received a corresponding reward from His Majesty.

Originally, he was only the captain of a certain team in the Praetorian Guard, but now, he has become the chief captain of the entire Praetorian Guard.

The position is second only to the leader and deputy leader.

And Zhao Yi's father, Zhao Yanchen, also after many continuous attempts, finally presented His Majesty with the most suitable bow and crossbow for soldiers.

At the same time, the production method of the bow, the method of use, and the advantages and disadvantages compared with the bow and arrow are all summarized.

His Majesty tried it himself as soon as he got it, and then he was overjoyed.

Immediately afterwards, he rewarded Zhao Yanchen, and even everyone in Zhao's mansion received a particularly rich reward.

Including Zhao Yanchen's wife Xu, she has also become a second-grade lady with a title.

Even the old man and the old lady of the Zhao family also received His Majesty's condolences.

For a time, the Zhao family was in the limelight.

And the Zhao family at this moment, although they were very happy after receiving the reward, they were as low-key as always, and there was no publicity at all.

Because they know that it's not just themselves who they can suddenly be favored.

Most of the reasons for this come from Lin Shenyuan.

They also thought about telling His Majesty all the credit for Lin Shenyuan, but Lin Shenyuan refused to let him.

He has his own thoughts.

The only thing the Zhao family can do is to believe in him and become his strong backing.

It was also through this incident that Bai Jinli and others saw His Majesty's methods.

To be honest, after this matter came out, Bai Jinli also had a list in her hand, which was given to her by Qi Duo of Koi Pavilion.

Information from everyday life.

But ever since she found out that there were other people in the back house (female spies) who had died besides those on her list, she really had a trace of awe for His Majesty today.

It is the person who is in a high position, even if it seems to be gentle and drizzly, very gentle. But he is a monarch after all, and his means and eyes and ears are really heavenly.

Bai Jinli couldn't figure out how His Majesty arranged the people and how he got that information.

She didn't want to think about it.

She felt that all she had to do was do what she had to do.

At the very least, the current majesty is a wise monarch, and he is also a good emperor who cares about the world and the people.

Since the Zhao family received His Majesty's reward, many people began to run to the Zhao family.

In addition to wanting to have a good relationship with Zhao Jiala, more people came to the door to propose to Zhao Ranran on behalf of others.

Today's Zhao Ranran, whether it is family background or appearance, is a first-class existence.

It has simply become the most suitable choice for the sons and daughters of those families in the capital.

Wave after wave of people came to the door, which really caused a lot of confusion to Zhao Ranran.

Recently, she is staying at home to study and read for leisure and recuperation, who knew that so many people would suddenly come to propose.

As soon as she thought of getting married, she couldn't help but think of Liuzhou, a scumbag.

As soon as she thought of this scumbag, she had a strong fear of getting married.

Therefore, no matter who came to the door to propose, she shook her head and refused.

Before she has done a good job of psychological construction, she doesn't want to rashly surrender her sincerity to anyone.

Then, annoyed by those people, she went to Baifu to find Bai Jinli.

As a result, after I went, I found that the atmosphere in Baifu seemed to be something not quite right recently.

Compared with the past, it seems that there is a little more depression that is difficult to hide.

When Zhao Ranran arrived at Bai Jinli's yard, she asked her.

"Cousin-in-law, has anything happened in your house recently?"

"It's nothing, it's just an old sister of my mother, she passed away due to physical reasons, and my mother is in a bad mood these days."

The person Bai Jinli said was actually Mrs. Li's grandmother Xing, who liked to chat with her before.

Since learning the news of Xing's passing, Mrs. Li's mood has become depressed.

Bai Jinli proposed that she could accompany Mrs. Li back to see her, but Mrs. Li refused.

After all, it had been a while since Xing's death when they got the news of Xing's death, and even if they went back at this moment, it would be nothing more than going to Xing's grave to burn paper.

Mrs. Li would rather keep these sadnesses in her heart than deliberately trouble Bai Jinli and them.

On the way from the capital to the way back, it was too far and too tossed.

"Ah, well, how can she feel better? You tell me, I'll help you. Zhao Ranran asked with concern.

"No need, Ranran, time will smooth everything out, my mother is fine, I will accompany her more these days."

"Uh-huh, that's a must."

"Ranran, do you have something?"

"It's nothing, I just came to see you, hehe~" Hearing Bai Jinli say this, Zhao Ranran was not embarrassed to tell her about being proposed.

The people of Baifu are sad because of the white things of Mrs. Li's friend, if she mentions such a thing as a marriage at this time, isn't it good?

After staying with Bai Jinli for a while, chatting casually, and rubbing some food, Zhao Ranran left.

After leaving the White Mansion, she walked towards the Shen Mansion again.

My cousin-in-law can't help her solve her problems now, so it's always okay for her to go and find Shen Wan.

Shen Wan is a person who is about to get married, and it is good for her to go over in advance to learn from the experience.
