"Dead people?"

The word 'dead man' is obviously more intuitive than falling into the water, and everyone is pale at the moment, even Cheng Xiaoxiao is no exception.

Song Yuheng frowned slightly, ordered someone to dock the boat, comforted everyone and said: "Don't be afraid, let the guards fish people up first, and then report to Dali Temple." ”

Ji Erlan looked at Song Yuheng unexpectedly, there was a mess just now, Song Yuheng was silent, as if he didn't exist, but at this time, he was able to calm everyone so calmly at the first time, he was really a person who should not be underestimated, no wonder the noblewoman in the capital faintly took her as the leader. This kind of backbone-like existence is not just something that can be possessed by a noble status.

The corpse was tied with a large stone, and several guards went under the water to help cut the rope that tied the stone, and then got the body out of the water and carried it to the boat.

The skin of the female corpse was slightly swollen, but she could still see her face clearly, and it was obviously not sunk in the water for a long time, it seemed that she should have been tied up with a stone last night and was still in the water. Ji Erlan was one of the few who dared to go near the corpse to see it, but when she saw the face of the corpse, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Someone on the side also recognized the identity of the female corpse and exclaimed, "Xiaoxiao, isn't this the Yuan Yan next to you?" How could she ......" Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized something and quickly shut up.

Yuan Yan is the big girl next to Cheng Xiaoxiao, and many people here have seen it. Originally, there were many people in various mansions who died inexplicably and abandoned corpses and mass graves. But Yuanyan's situation is a little weird, just a maidservant, she can kill if she catches a mistake casually, can she afford to spend so much time?

Fang Qingxue was originally hiding behind Ji Erlan, not daring to look at the corpse, and when she heard someone say that it was Yuan Yan, she subconsciously poked her head out: "How could it be her?" Wasn't she sent out of the city to recuperate? ”

Everyone couldn't help but wonder when they looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao, and Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little annoyed: "I didn't do it!" ”

However, it's okay not to explain, such an angry rebuttal makes people think that she has something to do with Yuan Yan's death.

Yuan Yan is just a maidservant, what is there to be worthy of someone else's plot to kill? And a few days ago, Cheng Xiaoxiao's maid was bitten by a rat and sent to Zhuangzi outside the city to recuperate. How could Yuan Yan, who was faithful to the Savior, be tied up and stoned and sunk in the water as soon as he turned his head?

"Oh my God, wasn't Yuan Yan bitten by a rat? Did he die of the plague? ”

"What?!"

Everyone's faces changed, and they all stepped back step by step. Cheng Xiaoxiao's face turned pale: "Nonsense! Lang Zhong has already treated her.

She didn't get the plague at all. ”

"Why did she die without the plague?"

If Yuan Yan gets the plague and the corpse is thrown into Gushui, it will not be a simple matter, the fish and shrimp eat her corpse, and they will also be infected with the epidemic, and at that time, the entire Gushui, the capital and the surrounding towns will suffer. This kind of life-threatening matter, where do everyone still have the heart to care about Cheng Xiaoxiao's identity, and directly question.

"Yes! You make it clear that if she hadn't gotten the plague, she would have been a faithful protector of the Lord. I just saved your life, why did you die? ”

"How would I know!" Cheng Xiaoxiao was furious, and her face became even more ugly.

Song Yuheng's beautiful eyes were full of gentleness, and he came over to signal everyone to be calm and not impatient, and comforted Cheng Xiaoxiao and said: "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, just now we have asked people to report to Dali Temple. ”

Ji Erlan looked at Song Yuheng's complexion, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Song Yuheng was obviously persuading Cheng Xiaoxiao on the surface, but in fact, he was guiding Cheng Xiaoxiao and asking him to conduct an autopsy to prove that Yuan Yan did not have the plague. However, if it is confirmed that Yuan Yan does not have plague, then why did Yuan Yan die?

If others can't think of it, it doesn't mean that Song Yuheng can't think of it.

Although Yuan Yan saved Cheng Xiaoxiao, in the case of life and death, Yuan Yan was inevitably upset and even resentful, and Yuan Xiang was even more angry. What's more, Ji Erlan was not far away at the time, and she saw Cheng Xiaoxiao dragging Yuan Yan to make a shield for herself, she could see it, and the guards of the Cheng family might have seen it too.

Therefore, in order to avoid Yuanyan Yuanxiang from becoming a disaster in the future, it is not good for the master. Let them disappear from this world silently. Cheng Xiaoxiao doesn't have this scheming, but the rest of the Cheng family may not have this consideration. It's just that I didn't expect that Cheng Xiaoxiao set up a boat banquet, but she used this method to plot that Ji Erlan fell into the water, which really hit her own feet!

Although this kind of thing is not uncommon in secret, it is not allowed to be spread on the surface, after all, there are still many people in the world who do not know the reason. How can the mouth of a long time be sealed. If this matter spreads, the reputation of the Cheng family will definitely be damaged.

Song Yuheng knew all this, but he was secretly adding fuel to the fire. If someone is dissatisfied at that time, she can also use the excuse of 'being in a hurry' to shirk the past.

Ji Erlan didn't know that the relationship between the four great clans was extremely complicated. But a teenage daughter of the Song family has this twisted heart, which is a bit too terrifying.

In the midst of everyone's confusion and speculation, the people and servants of Dali Temple have arrived. accompanied by Cheng Xiaoxiao's brother-in-law Cheng Shaozhang. "Xiaoxiao, are you alright?"

"Big brother, are you here?" Cheng Xiaoxiao's expression was quite dependent on and trusting Cheng Shaozhang. "You must help me make it clear!"

Although she doesn't think that the life of a servant girl is very important, no matter what the reason, someone else saved you with the front foot, and the back foot was killed, which is obviously not a glorious thing, and Cheng Xiaoxiao is not a fool, of course she doesn't want to be secretly guessed about this matter.

Cheng Shaozhang patted her shoulder comfortingly, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw Ji Erlan standing there, his expression was natural, and his expression did not change at all, as if the previous conflict did not exist at all. Ji Erlan secretly thought in his heart, this capital is such a place to eat people and not spit out bones. Each is unfathomable. Anyone, even a trivial character, can deliver a fatal blow when you slack off!

It is really difficult for her to maneuver and take revenge in this group of people.

The assistant quickly had an answer: "The deceased was drowned, and there were no symptoms of plague, so you can rest assured." "The identity of the deceased is very clear, and it is a matter of the Cheng family, so Dali Temple will naturally not make it up to its own initiative to do unnecessary investigations to make it boring.

Everyone present is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and there are outsiders who should avoid suspicion, but they are concerned about this matter, so no one mentions leaving, and when they hear the conclusion of the work, they are relieved, and they leave with their heads and ears.

Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to pull them to make it clear on the spot, but was stopped by Cheng Shaozhang. Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that things were different at the moment, so she couldn't say more here. Sullen for a while, he looked at Yuan Yan's slightly swollen face, turned around and glared at Ji Erlan's back fiercely, and asked Cheng Shaozhang beside him: "Big brother?" What's going on? How did Yuan Yan die? They all speculated that I was the one who did it! ”

Cheng Shaozhang secretly said in his heart: It was originally you who harmed him. On his face, he said seriously: "Xiaoxiao, not only Yuan Yan, Yuan Xiang is also dead." This matter, when I return home, my eldest brother will slowly explain it to you. ”

Ji Fu's carriage went all the way back to Yong'an Fang along Gushui, Fang Qingxue was scared, and still grabbed Ji Erlan and sat next to her. "Sister Erlan, it's the first time I've seen a dead person with my own eyes! It's scared to death! Why are you so calm, aren't you afraid? Have you ever seen a dead person before? ”

Ji Erlan looked outside the carriage and replied, "Well, I have seen it." ”

Not only had she seen it, but what she had seen was the corpses of people close to her. For example, the Qin family, A Tan and Ji Yun brothers. Their death was because of Ji Chenglin's coldness, because of the ruthlessness of the opponent, and because of their own stupidity in their previous lives.

Fang Qingxue was surprised, and was about to ask again, but the carriage suddenly jolted violently at this moment, and then rushed out frantically towards the front. There was an exclamation from the coachman, who seemed to have fallen from the carriage. Fang Qingxue and Twilight Rain suddenly rolled into a ball, Ji Erlan's face changed, she was too careless, it turned out that Cheng Xiaoxiao was still doing something in her carriage!

"Hold on!" With that, she lifted the curtain and jumped on the crazy horse, trying to stop the horse, but the horse could not control it at all, and only rushed forward violently. Ji Erlan looked ahead, a barren road connected to a small cliff, and below was Gushui.

Ji Erlan's heart sank, if the carriage fell from here, how many of the three people in the carriage could she save? Seeing that it was impossible for the carriage to stop safely, she immediately took out a folding fan from her sleeve, and when she looked closely, the fan bone actually shone with silver light.

Ji Erlan clung to the horse's neck, held the folding fan horizontally, and slashed at the horse's throat.

The hot horse's blood instantly spurted far away, startled the horse in pain, dragged the carriage forward and ran violently for a while, and finally staggered to a stop on the edge of the cliff. The moment the horse fell to the ground, Ji Erlan jumped and jumped from above.

But I didn't expect the horses to be too heavy, and the road here was uneven, so the carriage was forced, so it fell to the side, and with a clatter, the roof and the body of the car fell apart and left.

Ji Erlan heard a few screams, and saw Twilight Yu and Fang Qingxue roll out of the carriage one after the other and flipped over towards the short cliff.

Ji Erlan was shocked, and only had time to rush over and grab Fang Qingxue's panicked arm, but Twilight Yu screamed and had already fallen off the cliff. Ji Erlan gritted his teeth, turned around violently, and threw Fang Qingxue to the side of the car with his strength, kicked his feet, and jumped down towards Gushui quickly.

"Sister Erlan!"

Fang Qingxue saw this Ji Erlan fall into the water, and with a buzz in her head, she fell unconscious.

Twilight struggled to get out of the carriage, bleeding from the wound on her head. She climbed to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the gushui. Tears burst out in an instant, and the girls were all in danger to save them...... "Girl! Twilight rain? ”

However, there was only silence in her answer, and the water below the cliff shook unhurriedly, as if to say to Twilight that it didn't know anything. The blood on Twilight's forehead was mixed with tears, and she could only cry out desperately, "Girl, Twilight Rain!" Where are you! ”
