"But after all, this is a murder case of the imperial court, and I stayed there for a few days before continuing to enter Beijing, and I don't know what happened after that."

Lu Qingrong glanced at Nie Jingyang, Nie Jingyang learned her mind and held her hand.

"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to go to Nantai County to check when I go back, if Lord Lu really encounters something tricky, I will definitely send someone to assist him, you don't have to worry."

"It's fine." Lu Qingrong sighed guiltily, "I also blame me for being too careless, so much so that I forgot about the third uncle's trip to Nantai County." ”

Speaking of which, she was a little careless.

The third uncle has been there for two months without any news, and she has only noticed it now, if it weren't for the second cousin's reminder, she is afraid that she won't be able to remember.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong was a little worried.

In addition, when he heard about that case from Jiang Zihuai, Lu Qingrong always felt a little strange.

Back at the Xuanguo Mansion, Lu Qingrong hurriedly asked Nie Jingyang to investigate.

"Chen Niangzi, find two jars of the three friends of the year and the cold that I fried before, and then put the fruit wine I brewed before, ten jars of each, and then you send someone to buy some special products in Beijing, remember the things to be put in."

Mrs. Chen nodded in response, "Miss, are you planning to give it away?" ”

"When I gave my second cousin something today, I suddenly remembered my grandfather and grandmother in Jiangnan, they were very kind to me, and they have always sent me things all these years, but I have never sent them anything."

"Right now, I'm pregnant, and I'm living a rich life, it's time to do my filial piety, you prepare first according to my instructions, and when you're almost ready in a few days, I'll let my second uncle send them over."

There was a rare smile on Mrs. Chen's serious face, "Miss, if this thing is sent to Jiangnan, the old lady and the old lady must be very happy, they have been thinking about you all these years!" ”

Mrs. Chen has been serving by the old lady's side all these years, and naturally understands how much the old lady and the old lady love this granddaughter.

Lu Qingrong became more and more guilty, even Chen Niangzi could think of things, but she ignored them.

Lu Qingrong waved his hand and asked Mrs. Chen to prepare.

Ever since she became pregnant, she has been staying in this house and rarely has time to go out.

What happened to the Lu family now, she forgot to die.

It seems that I should find a time to go to the Lu family to see my grandmother and fourth uncle.

In the evening, Nie Jingyang came back.

"How?"

"Don't worry, lady, sit down first and I'll talk to you slowly."

Nie Jingyang helped Lu Qingrong to sit down with a solemn face.

Looking at his appearance, Lu Qingrong became more and more nervous, could it be that the third uncle really encountered a very tricky thing.

Otherwise, why was his expression so solemn?

"Your third uncle did encounter a little problem over there, the case in Nantai County, the Criminal Department didn't pay much attention to it before, but today's investigation found a big problem, Nantai County has killed and injured nearly 300 people in the past three years alone, and the entire village was slaughtered and disappeared, everyone thought that this place in Nantai County offended the gods, so the gods sent down the punishment to make the people in the village disappear."

"Nearly 300 people died like this, can it be said that the local officials have not reported it? What kind of ghosts and gods, how can there be ghosts and gods in this world? ”

According to the theory of ghosts and gods, Lu Qingrong has always disbelieved it.

There are no ghosts in this world, most of them are ghosts in people's hearts.

Nie Jingyang patiently explained, "The people in that place in Nantai County are simple, but they are particularly superstitious about these ghosts and gods, especially five years ago, they began to worship the snake god. ”

After Nie Jingyang's explanation, Lu Qingrong understood where this so-called snake god came from?

In that place in Nantai County, there was a rat infestation five years ago, and most of the crops in the field were eaten by rats, and all kinds of methods were tried to no avail.

So a monk told them to put some snakes in the ground.

The snake can eat the mouse, so the dealer will be saved, I don't know when everyone will worship the snake as a god, began to worship the snake god.

However, in addition to being able to eat mice, this snake is also a delicacy, and many people catch snakes from the ground to eat.

The croppers were so hungry that they could eat anything, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it, until a few villages were slaughtered, and some people said that they were destroyed because they ate snakes and offended the snake god, and everyone began to be afraid.

"This matter is that the local officials are too corrupt, and they are worried about their performance and have not reported this matter, I have already reported this matter, and the emperor ordered me to leave today to assist your third uncle in investigating this matter."

"What's the call to let you go?"

Nie Jingyang was worried that Lu Qingrong would think too much, so he hurriedly pressed her.

He said softly: "Actually, in the past two months, your third uncle has been in contact with the Criminal Department, Lord Fang feels that this matter is very strange, and it may be that someone is making some big moves, and he told the emperor in private." ”

"The emperor also agreed with Lord Fang's idea, and he couldn't bear it, until the mob in Nantai County in the past two days, the emperor paid special attention to this matter, and it just so happened that I was the only one in Beijing who had nothing to do, so the emperor handed over this matter to me."

Although she said so, if she didn't let Nie Jingyang investigate Lu Wensong's matter, maybe this matter wouldn't fall on his head.

It's also because she has involved him.

"Lady, don't think too much about this, it really has nothing to do with you."

Nie Jingyang helped Lu Qingrong to the bed and said softly.

"However, if I hadn't asked you to investigate the matter of the third uncle, maybe the emperor would not have handed over such a tricky matter to you, the third uncle has not had any news for two months, compared to this case, it is very tricky."

Lu Qingrong nervously held Nie Jingyang's hand, leaned on his shoulder, and sighed.

Nie Jingyang remembered the imperial doctor's entrustment, the lady didn't think about tea and dinner these days, it was because of her anxiety, if it would affect the children in the house in the long run, it would be a bad thing for her.

This case in Nantai County is a case within a case, extremely complicated, and before coming back, my father and grandmother told me not to tell my mother.

But looking at the lady's appearance now, if you don't tell the lady, I'm afraid that the lady will think more.

It won't be good then.

After thinking about it, Nie Jingyang was still ready to tell the truth.

"Lady, don't hide it, this matter is indeed something else."

A few days ago, Jing Zhaoyin came to a seriously injured person, from Nantai County.
