Mrs. Xiao had to meet people because she was in the way of face, Xiao Qiyun cried that grievance: "Madam, tell me, this person's heart is flesh and blood, why is the eldest sister so hard-hearted?" When I got married, was it really water that was spilled? She wouldn't look at it, and she didn't care if I was a blessing or a curse, woo-"

Mrs. Xiao felt very strange, why did Wen Jin have to go and see it? Although Xiao Juanyun and Xiao Ayayun are young, they don't know nothing, besides, didn't they go on another trip?

Xiao Qiyun saw the confusion in his wife's eyes, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and cried violently, but did not explain.

When Wen Jin heard that Xiao Qiyun was back, she didn't even have the heart to see her, so she made an excuse to say that she was busy, went around Mrs. Xiao's, nodded with Xiao Qiyun, and left mercilessly, regardless of her hopeful look.

There was no Mrs. Xiao before, Wen Jin had to be humble and wronged, now this family is supported, Wen Jin is idle, there is time, pondering some new pastries in the kitchen, and sending someone to send them to Xiao Yuchen, now, their sister and brother have a deep relationship, Xiao Yuchen will come back to visit her sister every three or five days, Fan Yuanwai's home and Shanyang County, the distance is more than 300 miles, there are differences in customs and habits, and there are similarities, the two sisters and brothers sometimes talk about the school, talk about the old life, the more they talk, the more common words.

On this day, Xiao Yuchen sent all his subordinates away and quietly asked Wen Jin: "Sister, someone asked me to ask you, do you really not know the whereabouts of Prince Ren's son?" All you have to do is show him the way, and he'll help you get people back. ”

Wen Jin has always refused to believe that Qian Jun would encounter an accident, hearing this, her heart sank suddenly, how loyal Zheng Zaixin is to Qian Jun, how much Qian Jun attaches importance to this servant, she knows in her heart that if the iron-footed man does not know the whereabouts of his master, Qian Jun's future is really uncertain.

Seeing his sister's face was not worried, Xiao Yuchen felt uncomfortable, paused, and said: "That iron-footed man has been stared at all this time, and it was easy for his cousin to find me and let me tell you that before the prince left, he once said a word, let him help take care of you, do you have something to say to him?" ”

Wen Jin immediately thought of the danger encountered in the temple this time, since she entered Beijing, she tried her best to be strict with herself according to a lady for the people around her, but now, the marriage was frustrated, her lover disappeared, and it was easy to go out of the city once, and she would encounter a sneak attack.

It is at the most dangerous juncture, and you must work hard, and your own destiny is in your own hands.

"Yuchen, how did you meet the cousin of the Iron Foot Man?"

"Sister, don't worry, he is the companion of classmate Liu Yunsheng, I have a good relationship with Liu Yunsheng, and he will pass on the news, foolproof."

"Okay, Yuchen, my sister is going to borrow your help." Wen Jin looked at Xiao Yuchen solemnly.

"Sister, Yuchen is willing to help you!" Xiao Yuchen looked at Wen Jin firmly, "Sister, don't worry, you and I are both mother's children, she can still save the lives of her children in such a critical situation, if I can't even protect my sister, how can I have the face to go to the underworld to see her in the future." ”

"Yuchen, good job!"

Xiao Yuchen moved quickly, and in only five days, he managed to bring Zheng Zaixin into the Xiao Mansion, and met with Wen Jin in his study in the outer courtyard.

Zheng Zaixin cried very sadly, he lost his master last time, but he still knew that he was in Western Xinjiang, but this time, the sea of people was vast, where did his prince go.

Wen Jin saw that he was almost cathartic, so he said softly: "The prince is a blessed person, how can he leave the world like this, he must be waiting somewhere to meet us." ”

Zheng Zaixin looked up in surprise: "You think so too?" He took the handkerchief handed by Yu Chen and wiped his face clean.

"So, we must live well, otherwise when the son of the world comes back one day, he can't see us, or see us living miserably, won't he be sad?"

"Well, I'm just thinking about this now, Miss doesn't blame me, does she? The day he left, he left a message, that is, I want to listen to your dispatch in the future, I am incapacitated, and the goal is too big, and it happens to be the person around him who is most familiar with you, so he made such an arrangement, Miss, his departure was not rash and impulsive, so I believe that he will come back soon. ”

Wen Jin and Xiao Yuchen didn't expect Qian Jun to have such an arrangement, and looked at Zheng Zaixin with some surprise.

"The prince left some people, I tried to contact them, and they really received a message, waiting for me, eldest lady, from now on, I will be in your charge, if there is anything, just give the order, I Zheng Zaixin, go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and I won't frown more."

Wen Jin and his younger brother glanced at each other.

Zheng Zaixin spoke again: "I heard that you are in distress in the Bodhisattva Temple, I am so anxious that I have already sent someone to investigate, you don't blame me for acting without permission, right?" ”

"No blame! No matter how new, I have thought about it carefully, that matter really cannot be easily ignored, relying on the power of the government, it is difficult to track it down, since you have someone in your hands, let's discuss it. ”

"Okay, Miss, you just command." Zheng Zaixin let out a sigh of relief, and his heart was finally less helpless.

After following Qian Jun for so many years, Zheng Zaixin has learned a lot and knows a lot. He told Wen Jin that the secret prostitute who was covering for the thief was surnamed Huo, known as Aunt Huo, and now that she had been released, the government's meaning must be that she hoped to fish out the people behind her, and then found that someone was quietly staring at them during this time.

"Did they find out?"

"I don't know about this, anyway, Aunt Huo's family is closed now, and there are no guests coming."

"Well, they have just had a lawsuit, and those street ruffians are also afraid of being implicated, and after a while, they should find some clues." Wen Jin said.

"Yes, I have arranged the people, staring at her, on the side of the government, there is a month or two, it is estimated that she will be slack, the small ones will not, the small ones must dig out the people behind them."

Wen Jin took out a small bamboo tube, at first glance, this bamboo tube is just an ordinary kettle, only by pressing the top end, can the letter in the interlayer be pulled out, if it is forcibly broken, the letter will be destroyed by the water.

Zheng Zaixin took it in his hand, and Wen Jin taught him how to use it.

"Nothing particularly important, just use this to deliver the message, you can't have frequent contact with me."

"Yes! The little one got it. ”

The time soon entered the winter, and a heavy snow was raised, which made the whole world suddenly covered in silver and luxurious. Xiao Yuchen has come back very frequently these days, and the excuse to the outside world is nothing more than that the dormitory is too cold, and it is not safe to burn the brazier, which is not as warm and clean as the earth dragon at home.

Aunt Huo has opened her business again these days, which is a challenge for Zheng Zaixin, whether they are guests or the murderers behind the scenes, it is really difficult to check.

People have left a name and a goose have left a voice, even ants crawled over, and there are traces, Zheng Zaixin's person actually bought Huo Damiang's old sister when she was in the brothel, and through this woman, she finally found a suspicion. This person rarely comes to Aunt Huo, only once or twice a month, Aunt Huo is very enthusiastic about him, and sometimes he is a little afraid.

The weather was cold, the days were not good, and the gangsters who attacked Wen Jin ran back and let Zheng Zaixin catch him in a few days. From his confession, it is also confirmed that there is indeed something wrong with that person.

Wen Jin received Zheng Zaixin's report and was a little incredulous for a while.

This person turned out to be Xiao Qiyun's cousin of her grandmother and aunt.

This Aunt Sun was transferred from Zhuangzi before Xiao Qiyun got married, and it is said that she used to be a maid by Zhao Yulan's side, and she went out of the house to marry her cousin, but soon, because of her discord with her mother-in-law, she was divorced, Zhao Yulan has a newcomer around her to take her place, Aunt Sun had to go to Zhuangzi, she didn't know how to move, Xiao Qiyun asked her to follow before she got married. Obviously, Aunt Sun and her cousin are disconnected.

Wen Jin was very strange, why did Xiao Qiyun spend so much energy to harm herself, she still has two younger sisters in Xiao Mansion, isn't she afraid of Wen Jin's revenge? Thinking of Xiao Qiyun's repeated invitations to Liu's mansion, Wen Jin always felt that there must be something greasy in it.

Xiao San and Ah Lai have also been tracking down the truth of the matter, and Wen Jin told them the news of Zheng Zaixin. Of course, I didn't tell them about Zheng Zaixin.

Ah Lai didn't expect it to be related to Xiao Qiyun, he was very annoyed, and after a few days, under the pretext of the lack of manpower in Zhilan Academy, he installed a maid Xuehong next to Xiao Xuanyun.

Xiao Juanyun and Xiao Ayayun are even more marginalized in the Xiao Mansion, they are depressed at home, and they send letters to Xiao Qiyun to pick them up when they have nothing to do, they frequently visit Liu's house, and when they come back, they occasionally show off in front of Wen Jin, saying that their brother-in-law has given them something good.

It's nothing more than the jewelry and clothing that girls like, Xiao Juan Yun is bigger, and there are a few good things that are really worth a little money.

Mrs. Xiao once forbade the sisters to accept Liu Yongqi's gift: "Although it is your brother-in-law, a relative, too valuable, don't stretch out your hand, eat people's mouth is short, take people's hands short, if he has any non-trivial requirements one day, do you agree or refuse?" ”

Xiao Xuanyun and Xiao Xuanyun disagreed: "Madam, it was given to us by my brother-in-law, and it was not what we asked for, besides, although the Liu family's power is not as good as before, the wealth has not decreased slightly, Liu Guifei gave them a lot of good things back then, I heard that there are more than ten coral trees that are three feet high, and Mrs. Liu's jewelry is packed in boxes, and there are several large boxes." ”

This show off, but Mrs. Xiao heard a different meaning, she saw that the two sisters were very shallow-eyed, and she disliked them more and more, Xiao Qiyun came to pick up her sister more often, Ah Lai heard a lot of news from Xuehong, but it was the situation of the three Xiao Qiyun sisters in the Liu Mansion, which did not help Wen Jin much.

Liu Mansion and Prince Ren's Mansion moved around frequently, but Zheng Zaixin had a breakthrough there, he found out the person Qian Jun had planted there before, although this person was from the outer courtyard of Liu Mansion, but he was quite capable, and the news sent back soon made Wen Jin almost can't believe his ears - Xiao Qiyun is very bad in Liu Mansion, Liu Yongqi is very cold to her, and Mrs. Liu is even more excessive, often either letting her stand up for the rules or punishing her to ground.

Xiao Qiyun frequently invited her mother's family to come over, and she couldn't see the clues, but the Liu family was very good at covering it up, and every time Xiao Xuanyun and Xiao Ayayun went, they didn't show it. Xiao Qiyun loves face and refuses to let people know that she is not doing well, and the prestige of returning to her parents' house is all forced.

Could this be the reason why Xiao Qiyun frequently invites Wen Jin?

Wen Jin and Ah Lai both felt that something was wrong, but Xuehong couldn't get more inside information, and Wen Jin could only hope for Zheng Zaixin.

A few years ago, Xiao Yi sent back seven or eight cars of New Year's goods, two of which were citrus, as well as some unique foods, Mrs. Xiao left some for the family, and the rest were packed as New Year's gifts to be given away. Xiao Juanyun and Xiao Ayayun finally had an excuse to go to Liu's house, but Mrs. Xiao couldn't stop them. On this day, they came back a little late, and Mrs. Xiao said, "Don't take it as an example", but she didn't see that something was wrong with Xiao Juanyun.

The New Year passed quietly in the chaos, the days of Xiao's Mansion were as calm as in previous years, the flowers and trees in Wen Jin's yard were cut down and burned last autumn because of the insects, and they had to be replanted in the spring, those gardeners and nurseries came and went, and Wen Jin moved to the wing room in Mrs. Xiao's yard for a while.

The thing happened that afternoon, the spring breeze was warm, the sun was gratifying, Mrs. Xiao and Wen Jin were sitting in the yard, basking in the sun while dealing with housework, and the rough envoy Mother Lin, who was in charge of Wen Jin's planting, stumbled over, her face was frightened and snow-white, as if she had fallen on the road, and there was a lot of soil on her body.

Mrs. Xiao frowned, and listened to her stammering report: "Madam, no, it's not good, under the flower tree in the yard of the eldest lady, buried, buried, a corpse!" ”

"What?" Mrs. Xiao and Wen Jin were both taken aback, and the two looked at each other in shock, only then did they barely calm down and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"I don't know, it's all turned into bones."

"Oh!" The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, that is, it was not a recent thing.

Immediately, Wen Jin and Mrs. Xiao became nervous: It can't be Xiao Yi who killed people for something, right? The two of them had such thoughts almost at the same time, and each saw worry and apprehension in the other's eyes.

"It won't be Daddy." Wen Jin is definitely authentic.

Xiao Yi's skills and strategy, how could he bury such a hidden danger in his family? He had already figured out a way to clear it.

Mrs. Xiao also thought about it, and her mood quickly stabilized, and she said to Wen Jin: "Go over and take a look, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

Unfortunately, there happened to be a person from the flower garden at the scene, and the matter must not be hidden. Mrs. Xiao asked someone to inform Xiao San and asked him to send someone to notify someone from the government to come over and investigate.

Xiao San felt that things were not simple, in addition to reporting to the official, he also asked people to notify Guo's father-in-law.

The people from both sides arrived almost at the same time, and after some investigation, they came to the conclusion that this man had been dead for at least ten years, and that he had been poisoned and killed, and that this man had thick and strong bones, but his skeleton was not large, and that he should be a man of medium stature and great strength.

He carefully dug the corpse pit and found a rusty short knife, which was a must-have for Xiao Yi's previous generals, one per person, and now, some of those families will be old and raised on the Zhuangzi outside the city, and the rest of the people will follow Xiao Yi and go back to ***.

Guo's father-in-law did not come in person, but just sent a middle-aged eunuch under his command, and he took the investigation materials and took the case first.

Several veterans of the Xiao family in Zhuangzi recognized the short knife and said that it was Yang Ying's.

No one expected that this would be the case, Yang Ying was killed in the Xiao Mansion, and his twin brother killed Mrs. Xiao in Liangzhong Province under the pretense of his name. Because of the exposure of the Qiao family's evil deeds, no one has pursued this unsolved case, but now that it has broken out, Guo Gonggong will definitely let people investigate and complete the case.

Mrs. Xiao and Wen Jin avoided in the courtyard, and Xiao San and Ah Lai reported the progress of the matter every day, for more than ten years, no one knew why Yang Ying died in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, and there was still an old grandmother who remembered the past, saying that Zhao Yulan's younger brother had lived in that courtyard when he came before, and the truth of the case was revealed.

The matter is very simple - Guo's father-in-law sent someone to interrogate Zhao Shehong, Zhao Yulan's younger brother in prison, and he admitted that he was assigned by Qiao's family at that time, and under the pretext of asking Yang Ying to help, he tricked people into the house and poisoned and killed people.

Guo Gonggong doesn't believe it at all, where can't he kill people, he has to do it in the house?

Zhao Shehong couldn't stand the beating, and finally spit out his true feelings: Zhao Yulan heard that Yang Ying was going to pick up Xiao Guogong's original wife, she quietly asked Yang Ying to be called into the mansion, and wanted to buy Yang Ying with money, but Yang Ying refused.

Zhao Yulan was afraid that Yang Ying would tell Xiao Guogong about the matter, so she killed Yang Ying to kill her mouth, and after the incident, she found that the body could not be transported out, so she had to call her younger brother, dug a big pit in the yard, and buried Yang Ying, Zhao Shehong asked Yang He to wear Yang Ying's clothes into the house to replace Yang Ying.

When things come here, the flaws are here again, those people of Xiao Guogong, can't they see that Yang He is Li Ghost and not Li Kui? Why did they obediently follow Yang He and kill Mrs. Xiao?

Zhao Shehong was punished again and had to confess, Yang He took people to an inn outside the capital, where he drank poisoned wine for everyone, and none of the fourteen people were spared, and later went to kill Xiao Guogong's original wife, it was their Zhao family.

The small inn was run by an old couple with their daughter, and they were also killed by doves, and the body was transported to the field outside the village overnight, dug a pit and burned it, and buried it.

In order to cover up the crime, the Zhao family pushed the whole case onto the Qiao family, Qiao Taigong died, and the matter was drowned, but they didn't expect to dig up Yang Ying's body, which made the case revealed. Guo Gonggong's popularity was not concealed by Yang He, and he was also taken out of prison, put on the form, and beat him so that there was no injury on his body, and then he was thrown into prison again.

The Xiao family once again became the center of public opinion in the capital, although it was Zhao Yulan who condemned it, but Mrs. Xiao and Wen Jin went out, and they were rarely pointed at, so the two had to refuse all entertainment and stay at home every day. Who wants to be at home can't be peaceful, this time is the New Year, and there is an accident, Wen Jin and Mrs. Xiao didn't care much about Xiao Juanyun and Xiao Ayayun, they couldn't stay in the mansion, and often went to Liu's mansion to find Xiao Qiyun, after breakfast that day, Su's mother turned pale, staggered over, and knelt in front of Mrs. Xiao with a pop, Wen Jin and Mrs. Xiao had a very bad feeling.
