Gongsun Yanzuo said: "Lord Chao, I am here to investigate the case of the king on the orders of the emperor. ”

He asked the bodies of the five victims covered with white cloth to be brought forward, and said, "Can you please ask all the victims to come and identify them?" ”

Lord Chao said with a solemn expression: "Of course, the lower officials will arrange for them to come over." ”

Gongsun Yan nodded, "There is labor." ”

Lord Chao immediately led people to greet the victims.

Zixuan asked Xiang Gongsun Yan: "Did the adults go to the palace?" ”

Gongsun Yan knew what she cared about, so he said: "Don't worry, princess, the prince is okay for the time being, Weichen will definitely find out the whole story and return the prince's innocence." ”

Zixuan thanked her, thinking that the emperor could let Gongsun Yan come over to investigate the case, which should not be unfavorable to the prince for the time being.

After a short time, Lord Chao led the victims over, the men walked in front, and the women covered their children's eyes, fearing that they would be afraid, and followed behind.

Zixuan said: "Lord Chao, Lord Gongsun, can you let the woman with the child go down, this is a corpse after all, so as not to frighten the child." ”

They nodded, and Gongsun Yan said, "The children and women stand down, and the men stay." ”

The women looked at Zixuan and Gongsun gratefully, and thanked them again and again before retreating.

Zixuan said to the remaining men: "Folks, it is a matter of the innocence of the prince, Zixuan is here to implore everyone to identify it carefully." ”

An old man who took the lead said: "Princess, you and the prince take such good care of us, thanks to you, we can survive, if we can help you and repay one or two, we are also happy in our hearts." ”

Zixuan cried and said, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

The old man greeted the victims behind him, "The villagers have taken a closer look. ”

"Good!" The victims said in unison.

However, after everyone looked at the five dead people one by one, they all shook their heads, no one knew them, not even anyone who looked like them.

Just when everyone was discouraged, an older woman came over on crutches, Zixuan saw that her legs and feet were inconvenient, and stepped forward to help her, "Auntie, be careful." ”

"Eh, thank you, Princess." Although the eldest lady was grateful, she did not panic, and obviously had seen the world.

She looked at it for a moment, then pointed to one of them and said, "It's not... Are we Wang Er Mazi in Shilipu Village, Furong Town! ”

Everyone was shocked, and Zixuan said in disbelief: "Auntie, can you take a closer look?" ”

When she went to Fuyin Mountain to pick blue flowers, she stopped in Furong Town for the night, but when she went, Furong Town didn't seem to be affected by the disaster, why did this lady come to Kyoto?

The eldest lady leaned on crutches, pestle the ground a few times, and said affirmatively: "It can't be wrong!" He had a black mole on his chin. ”

When everyone looked at it, it was true, it seemed that this person was Wang Er Mazi!

The eldest lady muttered: "This person is not a good thing, he is secretly abducted, and often wanders in the casino, but no one in our village is here, otherwise someone must know him!" ”

Gongsun Yan said: "Auntie, take a look at the other four people, do you know each other?" ”

The eldest lady looked at the other four people and said, "I haven't seen these few." ”

Gongsun Yan looked at Wang Er Mazi calmly, thinking that he could only start the investigation in Furong Town first, and he said, "Thank you, auntie." ”

The eldest lady stopped and said, "It's nothing." ”

Gongsun Yan said goodbye to Lord Chao for a while, and led people to carry the corpses back to the city.

Zixuan helped her mother down, and said worriedly: "No one in your village is here, how can you go back to the village alone." ”

The eldest lady said as she walked: "The princess bothered, the old woman has a daughter, and this year the wife is gone, fortunately, the daughter and son-in-law are filial, they don't want me to be alone there, so let me go with them to live, who expected that their village was flooded, and all the crops planted were gone, so they had to come out to escape the famine." ”

"My little nephew, after drinking the raw water with worms, fell ill, thanks to you and the prince's care, it is much better now, and we plan to return to our hometown tomorrow."

The eldest lady only used the words "lonely and bitter", but who doesn't know that in this era, a woman's family has not given birth to a male baby, and she can't hold her head up in the village for the rest of her life.

Zixuan sighed lowly, she could imagine how difficult the eldest mother's life was in Furong Town, and said with comfort: "Auntie, taking care of you is what we should do, you are now living with your daughter and son-in-law, and you will definitely come to the bitter end." ”

The eldest mother said: "My aunt is also a hard-working child, his parents died early, but he is a kind person, I will go with them this time, and I can also help them take care of their little nephew, and the two of them can sell steamed buns to make a living." ”

Zixuan nodded, sent the eldest mother back to the disaster shed with confidence, and talked to her daughter before leaving.

In the evening, Qingsha came from the palace to visit Zixuan, and brought some snacks and food in her baggage.

Zixuan didn't have the slightest appetite at this time, and it wouldn't be good if she was seen by the victims, so she said: "Don't let others see these things, take them away for a while." ”

Qingsha said cautiously: "Well, the slave and maid deliberately hid in the baggage, just for fear that others would not see it well." ”

"Well, you're always careful." Zixuan boasted, but saw that Qingsha's eyebrows were sad.

Knowing that she was worried about the prince, Zixuan told her to relax and go back to take care of the palace is the most important thing.

Qingsha nodded, and before the city gate closed, she went back with her baggage.

As the crimson sunset sank in the west, Emperor Jiadi stood on the city wall, looking at the victims who were busy eating below, as well as Zixuan and the others who were in charge of distributing the meals, and there was endless contemplation in his eyes.

The next day, most of the victims had recovered almost, and some of them couldn't bear it anymore, so they took their families back after receiving the relief money.

Zixuan explained to them what to do, and asked each of them to bring a pot of light salt water on the road.

So far, there are not many people left, only some families who have not yet recovered.

At the same time, at the suggestion of the Minister of State and the First Minister, the Crown Prince was finally released from the confinement in the academy and allowed to return to the Prince's Palace, and he went to the Queen's Palace first.

The queen gritted her teeth and said: "It's a pity that I couldn't use this game to bring down King Xian!" ”

She had the seedlings thrown into the well water, which were non-poisonous and would not become ill until a day after taking them, but it could suck the blood of an eight-foot strong man in five days until it died, and the doctors could not detect the clues.

At that time, she only needs to arrange for someone to fan the flames among the victims, and push all the blame to the prince, and the human and material evidence is complete, and he will not escape even if he has wings.

Who knew that it was broken by Zixuan!

The queen hated itchy, "The princess has repeatedly spoiled our good deeds, and the sooner this slut is removed, the better." ”

The prince said: "That cheap skin, but it's really hard, and the queen mother sent so many killers, but they couldn't hurt her in the slightest." ”

Immediately, his eyes flickered, and he said meaningfully: "Queen Mother, the life of this cheap child is much stronger than those in the son's mansion!" ”

He stopped talking, with a lewd smile on his face.
