The wind still howls in the woods, and the shouts of carrying corpses in the distance come to my ears from time to time.

Changying is also still in the process of adapting to the gradual change of identity.

Before this, she didn't really associate him with the Huo family, although the Huo family was also a prominent existence in Daning.

But his indifference when he mentioned these secrets made her unable to ignore.

She figured that he would not have any other possible identity, if he said that he was from Huizhou and did not lie.

On the way back to the city, the spring breeze blows, mixed with the fragrance of grass and wildflowers on both sides of the road, a good spring scene.

When they arrived at the mansion, Cheng Xiao was sitting in the yamen waiting for their news.

"How?" He hurried over.

"Adults can rest assured." Changying said, "The murderers have been killed outside the city that night, and the adults can rest easy. ”

Leaving these words, she immediately raised her sword and returned to Chang Yunxuan, leaving Cheng Xiao frowning in place.

Du gradually Yang Chan delayed arriving at the house with the corpse for half an hour, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but ask about the experience, it was already past noon after chatting, and the scorching sun in February didn't sweat, but it also made people a little overwhelmed by this heat.

Naturally, the news that the whereabouts of the bandits had been found also spread, and the people talked about it, naturally guessing everything.

But one thing is certain, the anxiety brought about by the previous house-to-house search has disappeared, and on the green day, the girls and boys have begun to take a leisurely walk on the streets.

Even in the Zhizhou Mansion, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and Mrs. Cheng brought in several truckloads of flowers and trees early in the morning to replace the existing ones.

At dinner, Shaoqing and the others all heard Changying say that Du gradually was the young master of the Huo family, and everyone was a little surprised, but they felt that it was reasonable.

After the meal, Changying held on to the teacup, and her thoughts danced wildly for a while.

After the death of the Ling family after the fall of the crown prince, the fall of the crown prince also represents the collapse of the power of foreign relatives, the concentration of imperial power, and the stability of the palace, which should be a peaceful season in the world.

But it didn't take long for the Ling family to suddenly cause trouble due to their crimes, and then several more families were found to be cheating, and the Huo family was among them.

Let's say that there is nothing to do with each other, but after digging deeper, they died unclearly, and said that it was related, but I didn't hear any news in the next few years.

What's more, Huo Rong disappeared after the defeat of the Huo family, and he didn't know if he was dead?

Looking back at his recent performance, if he died, he felt a little strange and pity.

Due to the death of the black-clothed people, even Mrs. Cheng was a lot more active, and she wrote a few flower-viewing posts at night, saying that she had a few new pots of precious peonies a few days ago, and she wanted to set a date to invite a few good ladies to come to enjoy the flowers.

asked Cheng Xiao's opinion, but Cheng Xiao did not answer.

He didn't see it like a woman, and thought that everything would be all right when the man in black died.

It's good to be dead, but who knows how long that "goodness" will last?

What he wants is long-term peace and stability!

Sent his son out to carry his homework, he rubbed the corners of his forehead, raised his head again, looked at the orchid outside the window for a while, got up and walked out of the threshold.

Jia Ding suddenly came in and almost bumped into him: "There's a letter from Huzhou, saying that there is new news about Shen Changying!" ”

Cheng Xiao immediately paused and looked over.

Du gradually took a shower and was about to get dressed, when the family walked in: "The adult has something to summon." ”

When I arrived at the study, Cheng Xiao was eating tea, with a small tea stove next to him, and a pot of water was whining.

At Cheng Xiao's motion, he sat down at the tea table, Cheng Xiao poured him a cup of tea with a pot, pushed it over, hooked the corner of his lips lightly, and said: "I heard that General Shen chased the thief very actively today, and knew that someone was killed, so she still wanted to catch up and capture the thief?" ”

Du gradually didn't know what medicine he was going to sell in his gourd, so he took the tea with both hands and said, "She was ordered to capture the thief, and she always had to make a show to show people when she wanted to come." ”

"I don't think it's that simple, right?" Cheng Xiao raised her eyes, "If it's just for show, now that the person is dead, shouldn't she go back to the camp?" But so far, I don't see any intention of her leaving. ”

Du gradually didn't know how Shen Changying was going to deal with this situation, although it wouldn't have much impact on him if she withdrew now, but he could see that she also wanted to uncover the truth about Cheng Xiao's case now.

Even if she wants to make meritorious service or has other ideas, if she can stay, it will naturally be beneficial to him.

Not to mention, he is still waiting for Tong Qi to come back.

He didn't speak, Cheng Xiao didn't care, raised his eyebrows, and said again: "You really don't know who Shen Changying is?" ”

He looked up, his eyes flashing slightly.

Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "Wuding Marquis Lingyan, have you heard of it?" ”

The names of the Ling family quickly appeared in Du Yan's mind, and he said without a trace: "Is it the Wuning Marquis Ling Yan who died three years ago?" ”

Ling Yan's death had caused a huge shock in Jingshi, and he may not have paid attention to it outside Beijing, but as Du Yan, it was impossible for him not to know about it.

Shen Changying and the Ling family ......

Before he could speak, Cheng Xiao nodded, and his smile was already deeper: "I also knew that Ling Yan's wife's surname is Shen." Thirteen years ago, the widow of Mrs. Ling's younger brother passed away, leaving behind an orphan girl named Shen Ying.

Ling Yan and his wife raised Shen Ying by their side, but unexpectedly, three years ago, Shen Ying personally killed her uncle who raised her.

"You must have heard about this."

Du Yan's expression gradually froze, and his eyes were glued on Cheng Xiao's face.

Three years ago, Wuning Hou Lingyan was suspected of harboring fugitives and was blocked by Jin Linwei's men thirty miles outside the North City Gate.

Since Jin Linwei had no conclusive evidence, the two sides were deadlocked for a long time, and at this time, Mrs. Ling's niece who was raising her by her side suddenly arrived, not to relieve her uncle, but to accuse Ling Yan of covering up!

When Ling Yan let his horse rush forward, he was shot to death by Jin Linwei's arrows.

Due to the prestige of the Ling family and the Ling family's obvious to Shen Ying, this incident caused a huge storm in Jingshi, although Ling Yan was not killed by Shen Ying himself, but he died because of her anyway.

Although the truth of the matter was later dissolved, her accusations sounded more like a premeditated plan.

And Cheng Xiao said that Shen Changying was the cousin of the Ling family who killed her own uncle......

"Can't think of it, right?" Cheng Xiao crossed his fingers on his abdomen, his face was endlessly casual and sneering, "This young female general who looks capable and experienced will actually be a famous 'white-eyed wolf' in Jingshi City!"

"Ling Yan used to be powerful in all directions, but I was afraid that he didn't expect that he would die at the hands of his niece who was raised by himself!

"It's really no wonder that she has the ability to be the vice president at a young age, a person who does not hesitate to poison her own uncle who has been nurturing for several years, what else can't she do?"

Cheng Xiao's smile gradually faded, and the light and shadow in his eyes were showing his teeth and claws.

Du gradually held his breath for a long time, and his thumb holding the cup turned a little white.

He may have seen Shen Changying's various faces, and imagined many of her faces, but he never thought that she might be a "white-eyed wolf"......
