After hearing this, Si Hao thought about it for a while and said, "I think there is something strange about this matter, do you think there may be another purpose behind this river closure?" ”

"Yes, there is only one river in the entire Winter Town, if this river is not sealed, even if there is no river water circulation, when it snows, the snow in the river freezes and melts, the water source is very sufficient, could it be that Shangguan Yang closed the river in order to occupy the resources in that river? Also, there are often dead people in the river, I heard that the first one to die was the daughter-in-law of the Li family at the head of the village, and the murderer has turned himself in, but the dead have not ended after that, there are people dying every year, and they are all dead people, what is going on here? Who did the man who died? Xie Chuyao expressed the doubts in his heart.

Si Hao nodded while listening and said, "You're right, it seems that Shangguan Yang's suspicion is indeed the biggest in this matter, what's the matter with him?" There are too many doubts about this matter, we still have to ask him about the situation, he has checked all the people who died later, who did it and whether he arrested anyone? ”

Xie Chuyao sighed and said, "The matter here may not be resolved in five days, and we may go back later." She didn't know if the emperor would be dissatisfied with them dragging the trip like this, after all, this itinerary was all planned, and if they went back too late, she was afraid that the grandmother and others in the house would worry about them.

Si Hao looked at him and comforted: "Don't worry, we also have a lot of manpower, as long as we figure out the problems just mentioned, this matter can be solved quickly, you don't have to worry too much, I have already sent someone to report my whereabouts first, and she will know." ”

When Xie Chuyao heard him say this, the worry in her heart could be regarded as falling, and she said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Si Hao, you are still thoughtful." ”

Si Hao shook his head and said, "Miss, don't say such things, do we still need to say thank you between us?" For me, Xie Mansion is like my home, how can I watch the old lady worry and not do something? ”

Xie Chuyao smiled and nodded, and at this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Si Hao glanced at Xie Chuyao.

Xie Chuyao looked at him with a smile and said, "It must be Xiaomeng's girl who is here, she's not idle." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, Ah Yimeng's lovely smiling face was revealed, she looked inside, and when she saw Xie Chuyao's figure, she walked in very quickly.

"Sister, you're still here, that Shangguan Yang is back, Brother Cheng asked me to call you!" She thought that her sister should still be in Si Hao's brother's room and didn't come out, but she didn't expect that she was really wrong.

Xie Chuyao nodded at her and said, "Okay, I know, I'll go over now." "Shangguan Yang is back, and it's time to ask him what is going on here. After all, five days is not much, and more than half of this day has passed.

Si Hao also followed and walked out, Xie Chuyao saw this and quickly held him down and said, "Brother Si Hao, what are you going to do, you go back quickly and have a good rest, I don't need you." ”

Seeing this, I couldn't help but wonder why my sister didn't let Brother Si Hao out? "What's wrong with Brother Si Hao?"

Si Hao waved his hand at her and said, "It's okay, your sister is making a fuss, but she is infected with some wind and cold, and I am not a sick beauty, and I haven't reached the kind of situation where I can't step out when I get sick." ”

"You can't blow the wind, it will aggravate the wind and cold, and you will keep it in the house, so don't go out for a few days." Xie Chuyao's voice was not loud, but it had a power that was irrefutable.

Si Hao smiled at her and said, "Just this once, let me go out and have a look, I'm also very curious about what Shangguan Yang will say, you just let me go with me, ah?" I know that this body is really not that serious. ”

After he finished speaking, seeing that Xie Chuyao just frowned and didn't speak, he couldn't help but say again: "I promise you, I will definitely not aggravate the condition, okay?" "He is a person with internal strength to protect his body, how can he easily aggravate his condition.

Seeing that he insisted, Xie Chuyao sighed and said, "Bring the cloak and don't catch a cold again." ”

Si Hao smiled even more happily and said: "Okay, okay, I know, I will definitely not catch a cold again, okay, my eldest lady, let's go, let's go, if you don't go, Shangguan Yang may go out again." He urged her as he spoke.

Xie Chuyao was helpless, so she had to pull Ah Yimeng and walk quickly towards the hall, while Si Hao followed behind them.

When the three of them came to the hall, they saw Shang Jingcheng and Shangguan Yang sitting there talking and laughing, looking at the state of feelings, the two of them talked very happily, and they didn't know what they said, but they saw that they were both smiling, so that outsiders couldn't help but sigh that these five princes were very good friends with this Shangguan County Order.

"Yo, where did Lord Shangguan come from? The appearance of being dusty is really worrying. Xie Chuyao came to Shang Jingcheng's side and sat down.

As soon as Shangguan Yang saw her coming, he quickly stood up, and then bowed to her very respectfully, "The fifth princess is safe." ”

Xie Chuyao waved his sleeves to let him get up, and beckoned Ah Yimeng to sit down beside him, and then said, "Lord Shangguan, get up, don't be polite." ”

"Fifth Imperial Princess." Shangguan Yang said, with a smile on his face and asked, "The fifth princess and concubine let people arrest a few family members on the street today?" There was a lot of temptation in his words, because he wasn't sure if she had caught him.

Xie Chuyao glanced at Shang Jingcheng, and saw that he was just sipping tea, with a touch of solemnity in his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "What family?" I didn't see the family, but today I made a few villains angry, not to mention beating people on the street, and beating people's old mothers to vomit blood, I don't know if Lord Shangguan is talking about those people? ”

Shangguan Yang's face turned blue and white for a while by her, and he said intermittently: "That's it, that's it, those people, they are the family in the Xiaguan Mansion, the house slaves, and they will beat people today because that person is a thief, and he stole Tian Tian's things, so he will chase and beat people." ”

"Oh? Is that thing to be found? Shang Jing asked with an epilogue.

Shangguan Yang saw that the five princes were talking, and hurriedly said: "No, that person is a fool, and he doesn't know where he is hiding things, and he refuses to hand them over. ”

"Got someone?" Xie Chuyao sneered and said, "Lord Shangguan is so majestic, he doesn't even let go of a fool, it's really too powerful." There was a lot of irony in her words.

Shangguan Yang couldn't understand it, and his face became unpleasant, "Fifth princess, even if he is a fool, if he steals something, he will have to deal with it according to the law, besides, if he is not punished because he is a fool, then in the future, will everyone pretend to be crazy and stupid to get by?" ”

Xie Chuyao stared at him and said, "Then you should tell me, what did he steal?" Can there be witnesses? ”

"Tian Tian said that he stole her earrings, which were jade earrings, although they were not priceless, but they were also extremely expensive, and she liked those earrings the most on weekdays." Shangguan Yang looked at her and said.

Xie Chuyao chuckled and said, "So there is no one to witness?" Just because your niece said she was missing her earrings, and then you really treated a fool like a thief? What shape do her emerald earrings have? Has she searched her room? Also, has anyone but the fool ever entered her room? ”

Shangguan Yang's face turned pale again when she said it, he really hadn't thought about these questions, just because Tian Tian was crying and complaining to him at the time, and he also said that the important people in this yamen were kicked out, which made him confused for a while, and he only knew that he wanted to arrest and punish the fool who made her cry.

Xie Chuyao saw that he couldn't answer, so he decided to put this matter aside first, or answer the doubts in his heart first.

"Shangguan Yang, I heard that there is a river in your winter town in the morning, and it is the only river, right?" Xie Chuyao asked this, staring at him without blinking, trying to see something from his face.

Shang Jingcheng also stared at him closely, not letting go of any of his small expressions.

Shangguan Yang didn't expect her to suddenly change the question, so he said with some confusion: "Yes, just the river at the head of the village, what's wrong with the river?" Is someone dying again? But it's impossible, I've let people close the river, it's impossible to return the dead! He looked a little distracted, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

Xie Chuyao frowned lightly and said, "Did you really order the river closure?" Why are you blocking the river? Is it because of the dead? Since the murderer should be arrested when the dead are dead, can you just close the river and solve the problem? She said, her voice unconsciously getting louder.

Shangguan Yang also frowned and said: "You don't know anything about this, it's very weird inside, anyway, you are not from our town, I won't say anything more to you, you just need to do what you promised." "There are some things he doesn't want to get out there.

Shang Jingcheng and Xie Chuyao glanced at each other, then looked at Shangguan Yang and said, "What is so weird that you directly closed the river without even investigating the case?" So what's the secret in the river? Or are you deliberately trying to take all the water from this river? ”

"Huh? The fifth prince, you can misunderstand the lower officials, no matter how bold the lower officials are, they don't dare to take the water source for themselves, when the river was closed, the water dried up, where did the water come from, and the river is a dead river, and there is no river water to circulate. When Shangguan Yang heard him say this, he doubted himself, and he was so shocked that he immediately defended himself.
