Xiao Jingyi had to return to Beijing halfway because of physical reasons, Zhang Jilin couldn't take over the affairs of Huazhou, first, he was a military attaché, and these local affairs were not under his control, and second, when he came to Huazhou this time, the most important thing was to track down Xiao Jingxuan's whereabouts, and find it as soon as possible.

And after Xiao Jingyi left, Zhang Jilin didn't have to be restrained in anything, and it didn't take long to find out the cause and effect of Guo Ming asking his subordinates to pull the sick people over and bury them alive, here Zhang Jirin had a question, for Xiao Jingxuan, although Zhang Jirin is not familiar with it, but Xiao Jingxuan's temperament, Zhang Jirin still knows. If Xiao Jingxuan found out that something like this happened in Huazhou, he would definitely not give up with his character. If Xiao Jingxuan investigated this matter, Guo Minggou jumped over the wall in a hurry, he would indeed do something to kill people.

Guo Ming's death In fact, Zhang Jilin still has a lot of doubts, first of all, Guo Ming was poisoned and died, Xiao Jingyi said that he committed suicide in fear of crime, and the injuries on his body were stabbed by Guo Ming, isn't it a contradiction between the two.

In the afternoon of the same day, someone said that Xiao Jingxuan's guards had been found in a large pit in the woods.

Zhang Jirin and a few people rushed over, the guard's face had been deformed by blisters, and he could only know from the jade plate he was carrying that this guard was called Yingjue.

Now that the guards have found it, is Xiao Jingxuan also inside, although the death of a prince in Huazhou will cause an uproar, but what should be investigated still needs to be investigated.

Zhang Jilin could only ask people to speed up the process and continue to dig, and before the imperial court did not appoint new officials to take over Huazhou, the command of Huazhou was in Zhang Jilin's hands.

That night, Zhang Jirin took Tianquan Tianxuan and a few people to the dungeon.

When the people in the cell heard someone coming in, they hurriedly shouted loudly that they had been wronged.

Zhang Jilin found a place to sit down and asked Tianxuan and the two to bring them up, and that person was the old official who was led before.

The old servant's name is Wang San, and he has been under Guo Ming for many years, and Guo Ming has some things that he can't know.

"Adults spare their lives, adults, the little ones don't know anything, they don't know anything." Wang San knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"Don't know anything? Didn't you pull out the sick people before and bury them alive? Tianxuan kicked Wang San to the ground with a chat.

"The big man is Mingjian, the little one is just acting on orders, Lord Guo asked the little one to do it, and the little one didn't dare to disobey." Wang San knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, and his head was bleeding.

"Acting on orders, do you still have a little conscience, so many lives, what should you do? If you don't die, pull it out and bury it alive! Tianxuan said again.

Hearing this, Tian Xuan was shocked, if it wasn't for Tianquan stopping him, saying that this person was still useful, Tian Xuan would have killed this person with a sword.

Tianxuan was about to speak, but Tianquan grabbed him and shook his head. Tianxuan realized that she had crossed the distance.

"Master, subordinates ......" Tianxuan was about to plead guilty, Zhang Jirin raised his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say more.

"Wang San, Guo Ming is dead, you still don't admit your guilt, what's the use? There are some things that can't be solved by pretending to be stupid. ”

Zhang Jirin said lightly, no one can ignore the killing intent in Zhang Jirin's eyes.

"Little ......" Wang San knelt on the ground, his eyes glancing left and right.

"Master, there's a woman outside asking to see you." Feng Ming came in from outside and said.

"Woman?" Zhang Jilin asked.

"Well, the woman said she had something to say to you, and a child with her." Feng Ming added.

"Come on." Zhang Jirin nodded, and Feng Ming led the order to go out.

After a while, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman walked in with a little boy in tow.

"Minnu Xiaocui, I've seen adults, this is my brother Xiaoniu." Xiao Cui knelt on the ground and saluted, Zhang Jilin signaled, and Tianxuan on the side pulled Xiao Cui and the two up.

"You have something to say." Zhang Jilin asked.

As soon as Xiao Cui came in and saw Wang San kneeling on the ground, she obviously shivered, and finally her eyes turned into a touch of hatred.

"My lord, Xiao Cui can testify that he was the one who pulled out the sick people in the disaster area and buried them alive." Xiao Cui opened her mouth, and several people looked stunned, although they had almost guessed in advance, when Xiao Cui said this, several people were still a little difficult to accept, burying people alive This kind of thing sounds too terrifying.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wang San hurriedly denied it.

"I'm not talking nonsense, I was pulled out and buried alive by you before, but I didn't die, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved me." Xiao Cui continued.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Cui's words were finished, Wang San's face turned pale.

"My lord, I suffered from a cold before, this Wang San took me out indiscriminately, saying that he wanted to isolate him from everyone, so as not to infect everyone, although the folk girl also had doubts in her heart, she still followed him, but I didn't expect that he took me to a room, I was knocked unconscious before I could react, and then I woke up and found myself buried in the soil, and then His Royal Highness the prince came down, and the folk girl was saved." Xiao Cui has a heartbeat.

Wang San didn't defend anymore, and lowered his head in defeat.

"How do you know that the one who saved you is the crown prince." Zhang Jilin asked.

"I woke up that night, dug up as hard as I could, and finally dug out a little bit of an exit, and then I was dragged out of the pit by a man. Although I was a little delirious, I still heard what the man said and went back to report it to His Royal Highness the Prince. Oh, by the way, my brother, I have also met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before. ”

When Xiao Cui said this, she quickly pushed the little boy next to her forward.

"Have you met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Zhang Jilin asked.

Maverick nodded.

He ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the disaster area and asked me if I could eat enough, and then I told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I could not find my sister, and my sister came back in two days. Although some of the preambles of the calve's words do not match the afterword, Zhang Jirin can basically infer the cause and effect from the calve's words.

It should be that the prince arrived in Huazhou, went to the disaster area to inspect the disaster area as soon as possible, and met the calf.

The calf told the prince that his sick sister was missing, which aroused the prince's suspicions, and the prince sent someone to check and found the secret in the woods, which was then killed by Guo Ming.

"Take it down." Zhang Jirin pointed at Wang San.

"Master, don't you interrogate?" Tianxuan asked.

Zhang Jilin shook his head, now this Wang San basically has no need to interrogate, he is just a government leader, there are too important things, Guo Ming will not let him know, as for these things, they have also deduced it, so there is no need to ask anything, and when they return to Beijing, just escort this person back.

"Tianquan, send a message to Tianshu and ask him to check, how many people did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bring to Huazhou this time, who they are, and the identity of this shadow jue, this pair of sisters and brothers, you can also find a way to settle it." Zhang Jirin got up and instructed as he walked out.

"Yes, master." Heavenly power is handed over.

"She Ning, you come with me." After Zhang Jirin finished explaining Tianquan, he took She Ning away alone.

In the study.

"She Ning, I need your favor." Zhang Jilin said.

"My lord, please say, if She Ning can do it, he will do his best."

"I need you to go to Southern Xinjiang and find out what this Guo Ming has to do with Southern Xinjiang." Zhang Jilin paused and said.

The poison in Southern Xinjiang in Guo Ming's body, if it is really like what She Ning said, then Guo Ming's position in Southern Xinjiang will not be too low, and Guo Ming is obviously not the same as Yu Mingyue.

Because Yu Mingyue is Xiao Jingyi's cousin, if Guo Ming and Yu Mingyue are all the way, they don't have such a strange attitude towards Xiao Jingyi, could it be that this Guo Ming is the king of Southern Xinjiang?

Zhang Jilin knew that he couldn't figure it out here, so he simply sent She Ning out.

But She Ning himself was not a person under him, so Zhang Jirin still had some concerns when he made this decision.

"Subordinates obey." She Ning didn't say a word, and directly surrendered.

"Be careful, do you want me to let Feng Ming join you?" Zhang Jilin asked again.

"No need my lord, it's better for me to go alone in Southern Xinjiang, Feng Ming followed. Insecurity. She Ning rejected Zhang Jilin's suggestion.

"Then the subordinate will retreat." She Ning saluted, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait, you bring this." Zhang Jirin took out a porcelain vase from his arms and handed it to She Ning.

"This ...... This subordinate can't ask for it. "The porcelain bottle She Ning can still recognize it, when Zhang Jirin left the capital, Liu Meiniang gave Zhang Jirin, it is said that it contains a potion prepared by Liu Meiniang herself, and the potion She Ning has also seen it once, it does have a miraculous effect, how can She Ning accept such a valuable thing.

"Don't grind, there are dangers everywhere in southern Xinjiang, you just take them, just in case." Zhang Jilin stood up and stuffed the porcelain bottle to She Ning, She Ning took it and looked at it, and nodded solemnly at Zhang Jirin.

"The subordinates must live up to expectations." She Ning finished speaking and walked out of the study.

Zhang Jirin was not idle, and continued to check Xiao Jingxuan's whereabouts.

"Master, we have received a message that a large number of victims are pouring over to Huazhou." Tian Xuan even used light skills, flew in from the outside and said loudly, it is true that he has never seen Tian Xuan in such a hot manner.

"A large number of victims?" Zhang Jilin asked in a deep voice, aren't all the victims in Huazhou in the disaster area outside the city?

"There are about 2,000 people, and this is going to be entering the city. The subordinates have already asked, they are from the villages and counties around Huazhou, the villages and counties have been washed away, they fled all the way here, and they also said that when they wanted to enter the city before, they were always stopped by people and could not come in. ”

Tianxuan hurriedly said.

"What a Guo Ming, he dared to hide the disaster!" Zhang Jilin slapped on the table, what still can't be understood now, Guo Ming not only pulled out the innocent people to bury them alive, I am afraid that the folds handed to the capital did not truthfully report the disaster situation in Huazhou.

He also went to see the disaster area outside the city, and when he saw it, he was also thinking, these victims didn't look too embarrassed, and everyone didn't look panicked, now that he thinks about it, most of the victims are people in Huazhou City, and Guo Ming didn't care about the disaster victims outside the city.

As the saying goes, the people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat and the boat can overturn, if these victims do not get help in the end and start to rebel, who can pay the price?
