He grabbed her hand and squeezed it a few times: "Don't move!" He brought his lips close to her ear, and his voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of restraint and patience in it.

Ruan Xuan'er stared blankly at his head, her mind was blank, and the hot breath sprayed onto his face and neck as he spoke, instantly burning her face and neck, as if she was about to drip blood. She really didn't dare to move, and she didn't dare to speak.

Qin Mosong didn't move, he kept the movement just now for a few breaths, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, and then slowly withdrew his head close to her.

He raised the hand hanging on his waist, pressed the hand he was holding to his heart, kneaded her hands again, exhaled, looked at her pitiful appearance and said: "I won't let you go, so don't test my patience, let He Xinli send you back today, you prepare first, and I will let him come over to pick up your father and daughter back to the house in two days." ”

The tenderness in his eyes became slightly sharp, and the tone in his tone was also firm and domineering that could not be refused.

Without waiting for her to reply, he let go of her hand, and without hesitation turned in the direction of the outer woods.

"He Xinli, send her back." He commanded in a deep voice as he walked out.

The few people hiding behind the small mound looked at each other a few times, Fu Yelin raised his eyes, and said, "You guys will go back in a while, and I'll take a look." ”

......

It has been several days since Qiu was robbed from the prison of the Criminal Department, but the investigation of the Criminal Department is still no progress, after searching the city for a long time, Qiu and her captors seem to have disappeared out of thin air, and there is no news from the city gate, and Lord Shangshu has to temporarily transfer the manpower of the pursuit back.

Some time ago, someone reported that Jing Ninghou's traces had been found in Linzhou, and the Criminal Department immediately arranged for someone to check it, and asked the Yamen in Linzhou to cooperate with the search.

The interrogation of the Hou family's family members was not smooth, and the Qi family didn't know much, except for the Jing Ning Hou's life experience that broke out before, the others were all inconsequential trivial matters.

The second master of the Hou Mansion was originally a concubine, but he was just a playboy who didn't do his job, and he didn't know anything, so naturally he couldn't ask anything.

The old lady didn't say a word, even if she was surprised by Lord Shangshu in front of her, she was still silent, but her already not very good spirit seemed to be much more decadent, and she no longer had the noble feeling that she had been holding before, her eyes became a lot cloudy, and her expression was also indifferent, and her reaction seemed to verify this matter.

There is no new news coming back from Zhangxian for the time being, and it seems that everything has entered a dead end, making people have no clue.

The Emperor and His Royal Highness King Rui have been paying close attention to this matter, and the current situation can't help but give Lord Shangshu a headache.

However, fortunately, there has been some new progress on Xiao's side.

On that day, Lu Ming found a wordless spirit card in Xiao's room, Qin Moyu and Lu Ming went to it again, and sure enough, they found the spirit card.

However, the process of interrogation of Xiao by the Criminal Department was not very smooth, Xiao remained silent like an old lady, and kept her lips tight in the face of the interrogation of the Criminal Department, and the look on her face looked firm, even in the face of the torture instruments that looked extremely bloody and cruel in the Criminal Department, although she looked very frightened, she was still silent.

Although Xiao is already a wife, in fact, she is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she is born with a gentle and delicate appearance unique to Jiangnan women.

It's a pity that the Criminal Department is not a place that knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and the servants inside will naturally not show mercy, but what is surprising is that Xiao Shi passed out twice in the past but still bit his lip to death.

It doesn't seem to be anything useful from Xiao's mouth, but Xiao's background can be checked carefully.

This check really found something.

Xiao's household registration information is in Yang County, Huangzhou, is the youngest daughter of Xiao Shangwen, the county commander, Xiao married into the Hou Mansion for two years, because of the long distance rarely returned to her parents' home, and the people of her mother's family rarely visited her in Beijing, it is said that in the past two years, she has never returned except for the full moon of her brother's family in Yang County and the death of her mother twice.

I went to Yang County to find out that Xiao himself was born from a concubine's room, and he spoke very late when he was a child, and he stuttered a little when he first learned to speak, and was often ridiculed and bullied by the children of the house and relatives, and was not loved by the elders in the house, so he was a little autistic, unwilling to communicate with others, and lived in his own small courtyard with his mother all the year round.

It wasn't until a few years ago that it slowly appeared in front of people, and at that time, Xiao had quietly grown into a big girl who couldn't take his eyes off the forgotten corner.

Under the complicated and unspeakable thoughts of everyone in the mansion, the Xiao family unexpectedly got the blue eyes of the second master of Jingning Houfu and married into Jingning Houfu in a high-profile manner.

However, Xiao's mother was unlucky, and died of illness shortly after her daughter married into the Hou Mansion.

None of this seems to be a problem, but if Xiao's background is really that simple, then where did that wordless spirit card come from?

Moreover, how could it be so coincidental that Xiao's mother was gone after she got married?

And Xiao basically hadn't seen outsiders before Ji Lu, so is there any problem in the middle?

......

With years of experience and intuition, Shangshu of the Criminal Department felt that these things were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

"Have all the people around Xiao been inquired about before he got married?" Master Shangshu held his beard in one hand and his waist in the other, looking at the person in front of him with a pensive expression. "Xiao and his mother before marriage because they are not favored, so the house only allocated a mother-in-law and a little maid to serve, the mother-in-law is said to be sent out of the house before Xiao married because of old age, the mother-in-law's hometown has been investigated, the mother-in-law's son said that she went to the river to wash clothes soon after she fell into the water and died, the mother-in-law's family does not know the situation in the house, and has not seen Xiao, and the surrounding neighbors can also prove that the mother-in-law did fall into the water and died. And the little maid was also sold for making a mistake shortly after Xiao's marriage. The Yacha in front of him replied in an orderly manner.
