Shangguan Yang looked at him in disbelief, and only then asked, "But, Fifth Prince, then, wasn't the case from five years ago done by the Fifth Uncle?" Why recheck? ”

"I suspect that there is another hidden truth in this case, and I also know that you have not found any results after all these years of investigation, but now it is different, starting from the fifth uncle and He Yong, maybe you can find out the ins and outs of the matter!" Shang Jing admitted that he really looked at him and said, "I hope you can catch the prisoner." ”

Shangguan Yang looked at the trust in his eyes, and couldn't help but ask with a little trembling in his heart: "Fifth prince, you know what is the use of my brother-in-law, since he is a spy of Nali Kingdom, why don't you suspect that I will also be complicit in him?" ”

Shang Jingcheng looked at him and smiled and said: "The observation in the past few days can see that he did not try to pull you into the water, and you really don't know his identity, since this is the case, then what is there to doubt, over the years, your reputation is good, although the people in this town have moved away, but people's impression of you is excellent, and they all say that you are a clean official." ”

"The lower officials don't dare to be the ones who don't dare to be, it's just that the case has not been solved all these years, and it has become a knot in my heart." Shangguan Yang sighed and said, over the years, whenever he thinks of the scene of the year, he has difficulty solving his worries, and he always feels that the cases are too weird, but he is very guilty and uneasy when he fails to find out the cases and give an explanation to the relatives of those women.

Shang Jingcheng hooked his lips and smiled at him and said: "So now that I have handed over this case to you, you may do your best to investigate, I can tell you for sure that those strange things are just what He and Fifth Uncle used to scare you, just to make you feel scared, so as to order the closure of the river, so that they can build their own territory freely there." ”

Shangguan Yang looked at him with some confusion and asked, "But, who is the murderer?" Why kill so many people? And also specializes in killing women? These things are too confusing. He couldn't help but express the doubts in his mind, which was also a puzzle that he had been unable to explain all these years.

Shang Jingcheng just stared at him and said, "This needs you to investigate, I hope you don't let me down." After speaking, Shang Jingcheng no longer paid attention to him, but went to see the construction officials.

Shangguan Yang thought for a while before finally came to him and bowed to him and said, "Fifth Prince, then the lower officials will go to investigate the case, but the lower officials can't take care of the affairs here, or let the five permanent come over to supervise the work?" ”

"No, you can bring the Wuchang with you, he is strong in martial arts, and he can protect you if the prisoner goes crazy." Shang Jingcheng said, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, just let Yao'er and I be here here, don't worry, she said that she would let this winter town have a water source, and she will do it." After Shang Jingcheng finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Xie Chuyao beside him.

She also smiled at Shangguan Yang and said, "Lord Shangguan, get busy, we can do it here." ”

Shangguan Yang hurriedly hugged them and said, "Then Xiaguan will go." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Xie Chuyao looked at his back, sighed and said, "You are here to let you focus on other things, this person has stood here for a night, and now he can walk as steady, and he seems to be quite tough." ”

Shang Jingcheng also turned around, looked at Shangguan Yang who was far away, and said: "If he stays here any longer, he will only be trapped in his own pain, leave things to him to do, let him no longer indulge in his own affairs, then what's the use of betrayal will hit him hard, although he didn't say anything." "The person who has been treated like a relative turned out to be a spy from another country, which must be a great blow to Shangguan Yang, and he has to worry about whether he has inadvertently revealed some important information over the years, so he will also feel guilty and afraid, let him shift his gaze, and his mood may be soothed.

Xie Chuyao looked at him and asked, "Did you really not suspect him once?" She asked Shangguan Yang what he said before, she still wanted to know what was going on in his heart, he might be able to say officialdom to Shangguan Yang, but he could know her without saying anything, and he still said what was in his heart.

Shang Jingcheng's eyes became deep, and he said lightly: "I've thought about it, but what?" The Five Constants have always been by his side, and if he really has a situation, it is impossible for the Five Constants to let him live. "Strictly speaking, he doesn't believe in Shangguan Yang, he believes too much in the Wuchang people, how can such a person stay by the side of a traitor?

"Then what if even the Fifth Presidency doesn't know that he has defected?" Xie Chuyao asked again.

Shang Jingcheng grinned, and then quickly put his smile away, "Impossible, you may not know who the Wuchang is, but I know that if he wants to stay by a person's side, he will definitely find out all the backs of that person, and he will also go deep into his life on weekdays, monitoring his every move, and it is impossible to take it lightly." Even if his father left him here, he wouldn't just stay here for years. ”

Xie Chuyao finally nodded, and suddenly became extremely interested in Wuchang, "What kind of person is he?" Your opinion of him seems to be quite high, by the way, I haven't seen him these days, have you gone somewhere? ”

"Well, I've always treated him like a friend, otherwise why would you think anyone could talk to me like that?" Shang Jingcheng said, sighed again and said, "I transferred him to investigate some things, and he should be back soon." ”

"What are you looking for?" Xie Chuyao couldn't help asking.

Shang Jingcheng just looked at her, gently stroked her head and said, "Political affairs, it's inconvenient to say, you don't have to worry." "It's not that he doesn't want to say it, he just doesn't want her to worry.

Xie Chuyao nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go around here now?" She took his hand and walked towards the mountain range next to her, since he didn't want to say, then she didn't ask, anyway, she never interfered in political affairs, and she always understood that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.

Shang Jingcheng hooked his lips slightly, moving with her steps, but saw her keep looking around, and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?" Looking for something? ”

Xie Chuyao nodded and said: "Yes, I want to find something, but there is no here, there is no greenery at all, no wonder the water source here is so scarce, you see the trees on these hills, they are all dry, which proves that there is no water under the ground, and this place is even drier than the desert on the border." She sighed and walked to the other side of the plain to look.

Just one glance at her is a little decadent, there is really very little underground water source here, there are some small grasses on the plain that are now close to the water source, and further away you can only see a piece of yellow sand, which is really more desert than a desert.

Shang Jingcheng accompanied her to check the terrain, and after listening to her words, he probably knew what she was looking for, but he also saw the terrain and climate here, and the underground must be very dry.

Xie Chuyao stopped and looked at Shang Jingcheng and asked, "What county is the neighboring county?" Will there be a shortage of water like Wintertown? And is it so cold there? ”

Shang Jingche shook his head and said, "No, there was no town in this winter town within a radius of a hundred miles in the past, and it took two days to ride a horse in the nearest town, so it was not easy for the people here to go out to buy." ”

"And what was the past here? Is it a mountain? Xie Chuyao asked again, when she came, she only cared about hurrying, and she didn't look at the scenery along the way, and she didn't know what it was.

Shang Jingcheng shook his head and said: "It's all plains and business roads, bare and no grass, if you want to find a water source to drain, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" ”

Xie Chuyao didn't speak, just lowered her head deeply, difficult, nothing is difficult, the more difficult things she has, the more she has to do, but she never said that she would retreat in distress.

"Then I'll go around town and take a look." She didn't believe it, there was no water source in the whole town, although she was not a geologist, but she would have some opinions on geological exploration.

Shang Jingcheng saw that she was leaving, so he followed and asked, "Wandering around?" What to do? He was now curious about what she wanted to do, and when he told him about the situation around the town, she did not feel discouraged, but became more determined, and his heart came alive when he looked at her star-like eyes.

Xie Chuyao smiled at him and said, "Go around and take a look around, maybe you will find a water source." With that, she took him by the hand and left the river together.

There is not much water source here in this river, there is no excess water in the geology around here, and it is also quite dry underground, but she will not give up easily, she doesn't believe it, there is no water source in the whole town.

So, on this day, Shang Jingcheng accompanied her to walk around the town several times, and did not return to the county government until nightfall, but when she went back, she saw He Tiantian kneeling at the door and crying, which looked really pitiful.

Xie Chuyao glanced up at Shang Jingcheng, and saw that his face was not good for a moment, and it was ugly.

"Don't be angry, she is also worried about her father, she must have come to intercede." Seeing him like that, Xie Chuyao couldn't help but scratch his hand.

Shang Jingcheng shook his head and said, "I just don't want to see her, as soon as she comes, Shangguan Yang's mood will be affected again, how can I investigate the case like this?" "After all, it is a blood relative, seeing this woman kneeling here, then Shangguan Yang is afraid that he has no intention of handling the case for a long time.

Sure enough, after a while, the door of the yamen was pulled open from the inside, and Shangguan Yang Tieqing walked out with a blue face, stepped forward and vigorously pulled He Tiantian up and said, "What are you going to do?" If you want to cry and go home and cry, what kind of mourning is it here? ”
