Although there was some resistance in Wuxiang's eyes, he still responded to Su Xinyan's request and assigned half of the bed to her.

Su Xinyan sat on the bed, holding the pillow and smirking contentedly, looking like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.

Suddenly, she tilted her head and turned her head to look at Wuxiang next to her.

"If you're honest, am I really the only one who smells it? You didn't smell that bitterness either? ”

Wuxiang shook his head and thought for a while before saying, "But that woman's behavior just now was indeed a little weird. ”

Thinking of the woman's state of talking to herself, Su Xinyan couldn't help but feel a chill around her.

His voice trembled and said, "It can't be an evil spirit, right?" Could it be that the woman really saw something? ”

Hehe, don't make a fuss!

Su Xinyan hadn't seen a creature like a ghost since he crossed over.

Seeing this, he shook his head, "The theory of ghosts is not reliable, people always like to regard unknown and unsolvable things as ghosts, but in fact, it is the human heart that is sinful, and the reason for all of this can be found in the people themselves." ”

Su Xinyan nodded thoughtfully, it is true that several things they experienced before are traceable.

If it is too late today, it is inconvenient to explore.

The two of them discussed it for a while, and planned to go to the lake mentioned by the prefect early tomorrow morning to check it out.

So far, there was no word until dawn.

On the second day, the group borrowed a few strong men from the prefect and went to the place called Marriage Lake together.

Located in the northeastern corner of the town, the lake is a large lake, with willows hanging down on the shore and lush vegetation, and the scenery looks extremely pleasant.

Su Xinyan looked at the beautiful scenery here and couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of place is really a good place for tourism and picnics." ”

However, since the name of this lake is stained with the word marriage, there should be many couples who come to play.

Indeed, as Su Xinyan guessed, the tourists in the boats on the lake were also male and female guests in pairs.

Since they came to the place where the incident occurred, everyone did not say much, and scattered around the lake to look for a while.

It's a pity that after searching for most of the day, I didn't find any valuable clues.

Su Xinyan walked with the others for a while, and then went to the forest next to him alone.

At this time, there was a little fox swinging back and forth on her shoulder, and the leaves in the woods were rustling in the wind, and she frowned and kicked and pounded in the woods.

In fact, in her opinion, more than half a month has passed since the matter of the prefect's young lady, and even if there were clues here, there will be nothing left.

At this moment, the little fox, who had been leisurely, suddenly stood up straight, and looked at a place in the grass with a pair of eyes vigilantly.

"What's wrong, what did you find?"

Su Xinyan put away his absent-minded thoughts and looked at the fox expectantly.

The fox squeaked twice, then quickly crawled off her body, and disappeared into the grass in a few jumps.

Su Xinyan hurriedly followed, and after chasing it for a long distance, he saw the fox in a kneeless weed.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw the pheasant still flapping its wings in the fox's mouth.

She thought that this little thing had found some useful clues, and it turned out that it had come to eat chicken.

Just then, she suddenly saw a stone tablet in a weedy pile.

The stele was only less than the height of the calf, and the weeds around it were so wild that the entire stele was buried.

Su Xinyan squatted down and saw the words "Marriage Lake" written on it in big red lacquer characters.

It stands to reason that the history of this marriage lake should be quite long, and the days when this inscription was erected here should be even longer.

But now she saw that the words on the tablet were bright red, as if they had just been smeared.

Su Xinyan frowned, and just as he reached out to touch the stone tablet, he heard a rustling sound from behind.

She turned her head and just happened to see the young master from the house coming over.

The young master's surname is Lu, and he is ranked eleventh in the family, so his nickname is called Lu Eleven.

Lu Shiyi saw Su Xinyan turn around, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he saluted before saying, "Miss Su, that unphased prince asked you to go over." ”

Su Xinyan stood up, patted the weeds on his body and said, "Oh, do you know what's going on?" ”

Lu Shiyi said: "It seems that the prince of Wuxiang sent someone to invite someone who had been swimming in the lake with his cousin before." ”

Su Xinyan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took two steps to follow him.

Someone testifies that it is the best.

It would be better if you could ask what happened to the prefect before she became ill.

As she walked, she casually looked at the young master beside her.

According to the people in the house, this young master came to the city after the prefect fell into a coma, so there should be no suspicion.

Su Xinyan thought of this, and carefully recalled what the servants in the house had said before.

After hearing about his cousin's accident, this cousin who was in a neighboring city rushed over overnight to take care of the house's family affairs.

This behavior also took on a lot of pressure for the prefect, and a young master like this cousin who does not count the return has naturally been unanimously recognized by everyone in the house.

It's simply, twenty-four filial cousins!

However, just in case, she still asked casually: "Young Master Lu, who told you about Miss Lu?" ”

Lu Shiyi said: "It was my uncle who sent someone to tell me." ”

Su Xinyan nodded, didn't ask any more, and walked to Wuxiang's side.

"What did you find?" Wuxiang took her hand and helped her around a water stall.

Su Xinyan shook his head: "I'll talk about it later." ”

About half an hour later, the three sedan chairs were slowly carried over.

Then, three good-looking women from the sedan chair walked down.

A few people said to Su Xinyan after a few people finished saluting: "If this kind of thing happens, we are also very self-blaming, if we can find out the truth as soon as possible, a few adults can ask questions." ”

One of the slightly shorter women said: "I knew that I wouldn't invite Feng'er to come over to swim in the lake, it was just a matter of planning to relax, but I didn't expect it to go wrong!" ”

Feng'er is the nickname of that Miss Lu.

Su Xinyan persuaded a few words, and then asked straight to the point: "Does anyone know who Gongzi Xu is?" ”

The three women looked at each other, and they all shook their heads, saying that they didn't know.

Su Xinyan looked at their flickering eyes, knowing that they were lying, he didn't make a trace, and looked at them without a trace.

Wuxiang then said: "You can hide it, but Miss Lu's situation is already extremely serious. One day just half a month ago, she deceived the guards and ran to this marriage lake to plan to throw herself into the lake, if it wasn't for the proper treatment, she would have died long ago. ”

When the three men heard this, there was silence on their faces.

It was still the short woman who stomped her feet and said with determination: "Actually, we don't know much about the whole process of this matter, but I only heard Feng'er mention it.

That Xu Gongzi seems to be a teaching gentleman, teaching in a certain town, and he and Feng'er are in love and in love. ”

Su Xinyan said, "Have you seen that person?" ”

The three of them shook their heads, and one of them said, "Listening to Feng'er, the government does not approve of them staying together. Therefore, she often took some jewelry pawns as cash, and wanted to help Xu Gongzi and let him come to the house to propose marriage after he became famous. ”

The government does not agree?

This seems to be a bit different from what the prefect said.

Su Xinyan asked with some surprise, "But the prefect doesn't seem to know about the existence of this person." ”

The three women looked at each other, and they were all at a loss, "But Feng'er did say that the people in the house broke them up." ”

Only then did everyone realize that after asking a few questions, things seemed to be more complicated.

Su Xinyan couldn't, so he could only let people send these young ladies back first.

When the two left, Su Xinyan led Wuxiang to the previous stone tablet.

Wuxiang lowered his head and looked at the stone tablet and said, "These handwriting should be freshly painted, but this paint doesn't seem to be ordinary paint. ”

He bent down and sniffed, and suddenly frowned, "It's a little like a herb I know, but I'm not sure, I'll have to go back and study it to find out." ”

Su Xinyan nodded, took two steps back, and waited until the other party took some samples before returning to the lake together.

By this time, the people boating on the lake had gradually left, and the lake had calmed down.

Su Xinyan glanced at the lake that was calm on the surface, but there was a dark tide surging inside, and then he turned his head and followed Wuxiang back to the house.

At this time, the mansion was in a hurry, Su Xinyan grabbed a servant and asked what happened,

The servant said in a panic, "Miss is gone, Miss has fled again!" ”

Ran away again?

Su Xinyan was a little surprised.

If it was the first time more than a month ago, Miss Lu was not crazy, and everyone was not properly prepared, which caused Miss Lu to escape.

Then this time there are obviously three and two isolations, it can't be said that the copper wall is also heavily guarded, and even a big girl can't prevent it.

What is the rationale for this?

But now was not the time to discuss this, and without saying much, everyone joined the search for Miss.

But after looking for an afternoon, I didn't find anyone.

At this time, the prefect seemed to be ten years old, his face was sad and worried, and he looked very haggard.

Su Xinyan stood in place, frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Since that son is a teacher in the town, where is his private school?" ”

Only then did everyone react, and they hurriedly took a large number of people to the surrounding jurisdictional boundaries and searched for them door to door in the town's private school.

The hard work paid off, and they really found a place where Xu Gongzi taught.

I saw that the private school was dilapidated at this time, and the overgrown weeds showed that there had been no owner to take care of it for a long time.

They pushed the wooden door open, just in time to see Miss Lu lying on the ground, at this time there was a blood stain under her body, and she actually cut off her wrist!

"Daughter!"

The prefect let out a terrible cry.

When everyone heard this, they immediately came back to their senses, and hurriedly helped Miss Lu up and sniffed.

The snort was faint, but thankfully alive.

After a period of scramble, Miss Lu was carried back to the house.

At this time, Miss Lu was already angry, and the bitter smell exuded from her body seemed to be even stronger.

Even ordinary people can smell it.

Wuxiang frowned, and suddenly said, "This is a sign of checkmate." ”

Su Xinyan looked at him in surprise, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Wuxiang nodded, "This poison is called a flash in the pan, and it will only be noticed when a person is about to die." But since it has reached this point, even if others notice it, there will be no cure. ”

When he said this, he glanced at Su Xinyan.

As for the reason why Su Xinyan was able to smell the bitterness in advance, he didn't know.
