But if Daddy is safe, why is he hiding? I didn't even tell you. "When I first returned home, my father did not leave a word or sign of returning home. All these phenomena are linked, and they undoubtedly mean that he has not lost his freedom or been persecuted, but has been hiding from someone all along.

What's more, Daddy is just a Yamen, even if he is famous, but in the eyes of the world, he is very unlucky. What secrets does he have, as for the many explorations that have made people spend so much money? Xu Chu was very puzzled by this.

Originally, she thought that the murderer of her father should be the murderer of Zhang's case, but the murderer has been brought to justice, but there is still no news about her father's whereabouts. This made her heart more and more bottomless.

"Don't forget that Xu is involved in the murder of the Zhang family involved in the copper mine case. If those people are planning a huge plan behind them, Xu Yanzuo may not be able to get any clues from them before you. "Even though Xiao Qinglang mentioned this matter, he felt that it was very far-fetched.

After all, to be serious, the people who solved the case and exposed the conspiracy were him and Xu Chu. That matter was because he wanted to give Xu Chu an official identity, so he didn't hide it from the public. If those people really want to take revenge, they should be the first to look for them.

From the copper mine case, to the Zhang's murder case, to the case of Jinyinfang and Liu Wengui, a wealthy businessman, no matter how you look at the people behind the scenes, they should be regarded as thorns in the flesh. But why, it was Xu Yanzuo who disappeared?

The two of them were silent for a moment, and finally Xiao Qinglang asked: "If the reason for Xu Cheng's disappearance or hiding is not the Zhang case that you and I guessed, but another reason, then what?" ”

"But my father only took care of the autopsy, and he didn't involve the fight in the back house and the ugliness of the family, and he never had a grudge against anyone......"

"The officialdom of Jinzhou City has become muddy, and before Xu Chengzuo's disappearance, a fake official was invited to conduct an autopsy. What kind of corpse was there? Why did Xu leave in a hurry without an inquest? "In matters involving Xu Cheng's work, Xiao Qinglang's mind is much clearer than Xu Chu's.

Now, as they track it down all the way, they find that both officialdom and wealthy businessmen in Jinzhou and Yunzhou City have been corrupted. In other words, the masterminds behind the scenes have cultivated puppets everywhere, or coerced and enticed to control officialdom and local wealth.

But no matter what the twists and turns are, normally speaking, it will not involve a person who has not yet entered the Yamen of Jinzhou City for an autopsy. Even if you have already experienced the corpse, if you want to kill people and kill people, you shouldn't let Xu Qizuo, who is powerless, easily jump out. Partial, everything happens, for no reason or even without a basis.

Even if it is Xiao Qinglang, he can't find out what is going on inside. For a moment, he couldn't figure it out.

And Xu Chu thought more, she didn't feel that her father avoided her for no reason. It must be that Daddy has the evidence, and at least he inadvertently broke through some secrets. And this matter must be related to the mastermind behind the investigation they are now tracking.

But in any case, as long as Daddy was not killed and did not fall into the hands of those people, it was great news. She believes that with her father's mind, even if she can't solve the case, she will definitely ensure her safety first.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, and the more she felt that she wanted to uncover the mystery and let her father appear, the more eager she felt.

Having said that, now in addition to today, there are only Prince Ning and King Jing'an. Going up, with the change of dynasties, I have never heard of anyone plotting rebellion in the name of the previous dynasty. And going down, although there are four princes today, they are very different in age, and they will not plan to come here for the sake of power and profit.

In fact, speaking of this, Xu Chu felt very curious. Both today and the former emperor are extremely cautious in giving birth to heirs, just like today and Xiao Qinglang, although they are only the eldest and third, but in fact they are more than 20 years apart......

Of course, there are many of them who have died early or were never born. But in any case, according to the history that Xu Chu understands, this is probably the most unique feature of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xiao Qinglang, who was still thinking deeply, saw Xu Chu's eyes flashing with a strange light as soon as he looked up, and he was silent for a moment. The two looked at each other for a moment, then silently withdrew their eyes from each other, and Xiao Qinglang also smiled lightly: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, just have fun, don't talk about business." Most of the heavens and the earth are not as big as the New Year. ”

Although he has never paid attention to the etiquette of the New Year, if he is with Xu Chu, he is still willing to pay attention to it. Hua Wuxian was pestering Xiao Mingzhu in the courtyard, probably trying to pack up and abduct people, and Xiao Mingzhu wanted to pester Xu Chu again, so it was rare for the two of them to be quiet at this time.

After thinking about it, they are in a foreign land, so they don't need to pay New Year's greetings or worship their ancestors, so they just follow the customs. So, thinking of Xiao Qinglang, who was cold outside, he rarely held a cannon in his hand, and took Xu Chu to the door with a smile in his eyes and set off firecrackers.

Naturally, under the control of Xu Chu and Aunt Chu, all the guards and secret guards who have always walked in secret, also experienced the customs of eating fasting, drinking Tusu wine, eating rice cakes, eating dumplings, and eating glutinous rice balls. After all, the snacks made by the prince himself, no matter how they taste, are rare to eat in a hundred years.

Xiao Mingzhu and Hua Wuxian naturally competed for a hand, but it was okay if the two of them didn't get started, at this time, it was better to say that they were helping, but it was better to say that they were making trouble. Looking at the flying flour, Xu Chu was completely speechless.

She said helplessly: "Mingzhu, dude, you are such a fairy and sprinkled with flowers, it is estimated that we will not be able to eat this dumpling at night." ”

probably knew that he really didn't have the talent to cook, Xiao Mingzhu sneered, waved his hand and said weakly: "Then I'll help wipe the table and wash the dumpling plates?" ”

At this time, Hua Wuxian was learning from Xu Chu's appearance and pinched an ingot-shaped dumpling, listening to Xiao Mingzhu volunteering to work, he couldn't help but glance her up and down, and then rolled his eyes and said with a little disgust: "Mingzhu, I remember that the last time you were looking for the old man in order to find an ancient painting, just pouring tea ruined the old man's set of the best purple sand tea set......"

When Xiao Mingzhu heard this, he immediately threw down the dough in his hand and rushed over, grabbed Hua Wuxi's ear and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't be impressed for three days to see if you understand, besides, you say that you don't expose people, how can you let me lose face in front of Sister Chu." ”

Hua Wuxian was dragged by his ear, and after two sounds, he hurriedly whispered and begged for mercy: "Grandma, let go, my mother almost didn't pull my ear off when she left Beijing." If you come back now, you will really murder the pro-county master! ”

Xiao Mingzhu saw that the more he spoke, the more out of tune, he couldn't help blushing and stomping his feet. But he was afraid that he would be flattened, so he simply covered his mouth with his hand, looked at him and pretended to be a tiger and said: "Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it......"

The two of them can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and they have long been used to fighting on weekdays, and in Xiao Qinglang's opinion, they are not strange. And Xu Chu, although he has not been with the two of them for a long time, he has also generally seen the temperament of the two.

Hua Wuzhi seems to be very arrogant, but in fact, his mind is also delicate, but he is just reluctant to play with the people around him. And Xiao Mingzhu, although she is the proud daughter of the sky, is rare pure and cheerful, and does not have the slightest disgusting habits.

The two of them were fighting while busy packing up the flour and dough that they had just gotten everywhere, Xu felt that he was really a little helped, and finally dragged Xiao Mingzhu outside to buy wine.

It will be difficult for others to buy things on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but for the owner of the gluttonous building, it is not a big deal to find their own branch in Yunan County to ask for a few jars of wine.

After eating at noon, a few people were idle, and after a long time of eating, a few people abandoned the concept of difference between men and women, and the concept of superiority and inferiority, and got together to play horse hanging. The so-called horse hanging is not mahjong, but a kind of solitaire.

Xu Chu took the cards blankly, silently listened to Xiao Qinglang explain the rules in a low voice, and then raised his eyebrows to separate the cards in his hand according to the suit. The so-called horse hanging, there are forty cards, divided into 100,000 guan, 10,000 guan, suozi, money four suits, the rules in short is a big hit small, but also simple.

Three handfuls of Xiao Mingzhu and Hua Wuzhi won a full bowl of gold, and even the broken silver that Xu Chu had just obtained was won and there was not much left. Fortunately, Xu Chu was patient, and Xiao Qinglang prompted him from time to time, and he found the pattern just after the fourth game.

She is a forensic doctor, which requires a lot of patience and care. Therefore, since eating the rules, every time Xiao Mingzhu plays cards with Hua Wuxi, he can always guess the hole cards in the hands of the two people in real time, and then judge his own winning rate.

Xiao Qinglang looked at Xiao Mingzhu and Hua Wuxi's expressions becoming more and more interesting, and he couldn't help but smile helplessly, but the movements of his hands did not change.

"Hey, third uncle, I found that Sister Chu is even more powerful than you. Didn't you use to be called a horse hanging ghost by the imperial uncle and the imperial aunt, why didn't you win once when you met Sister Chu. Originally, Xiao Mingzhu pouted and was a little disappointed, but he didn't want to be as excited as discovering a new continent after a while. Sure enough, Sister Chu is the nemesis of the third uncle, the autopsy is stronger than the third uncle, and now she is better than the third uncle.

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but raise her little chin, and she looked triumphant with a proud expression.

"Sister Chu's mighty ......"

Hua Wuxian touched his chin, smacked his lips and said meaningfully: "Win hard, lose even more." ”

Xiao Qinglang paused for a moment, smiled, and calmly gave away a small card in his hand. It wasn't until Xu Chu took the last card in his hand that he said casually: "It's really better than you." ”

After he finished speaking, his eyes glanced at the chips in front of Hua Wuxi's table, and sure enough, there was not much left. It's much worse than my own.
