Listening to the unabashed dispute between her aunt and mother, Qi Tanying felt embarrassed and helpless.

"Auntie, auntie, don't fight."

It was only then that Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Jiang remembered that their daughter/niece was still there.

Qi Tanying took a deep breath and looked at the two elders solemnly: "These days, you have worked hard for Ah Tan's marriage, Ah Tan is very grateful, please accept Ah Tan's worship." ”

When the words fell, Qi Tanying knelt down, and Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Jiang hurriedly went to help.

Qi Tanying looked up at Mrs. Qi, "Auntie is right, the twisted melon is not sweet, my previous marriage contract with my eldest cousin was just a verbal joke, and I asked A-Niang not to hold on to this matter." Otherwise, my aunt and eldest cousin will be embarrassed, and the Changxing Royal Mansion will mind if they know about it. ”

Of course, Mrs. Qi understood this truth, she was just complaining.

Mrs. Jiang was full of relief when she heard this, "It's still Ah Tan who is sensible." She took her niece's hand and patted it, "Don't worry, my aunt will definitely find you a good family." ”

"Thank you, Auntie."

Qi Tanying pretended to be shy and lowered her head, but her heart was very calm.

Since the dissolution of the marriage contract, although she has had disappointments and regrets, she has never been sad.

She didn't have any girlish feelings for Jiang Liangyu, but she just felt that the Jiang family's unilateral termination seemed to look down on the Qi family.

If it weren't for Mrs. Jiang's sincere treatment these days, and Jiang Liangyu's admission to Danfeng Academy for Qi Yukun, wouldn't she really care?

It's just a choice of outcomes that are good for them.

Mrs. Jiang didn't know her niece's inner thoughts, and after Qi Tanying and Yan Li failed to see each other, they began to look for suitable young talents for her everywhere.

But somehow, the days passed day by day, and there was no suitable one, and Mrs. Qi still urged her from time to time.

It gave Mrs. Jiang a headache.

It's June, and from the beginning of June, the sun is getting stronger and stronger, and the whole of Kyoto is shrouded in scorching heat.

On the day of the birth of Guanyin on June 15, the sun was still shining in front of the corner, and at noon the wind suddenly blew violently, and the dark clouds covered the sun, and the sky and the earth were dark.

About half an hour later, the raindrops of beans fell from the sky, and at first there were only a few scattered ones, and after a while, they began to fall densely.

A rainstorm came.

The torrential rain did not stop for a day and a night, and after the rain stopped, the water of the Weishui River had already overflowed the embankment, and if the rain had not stopped in time, I was afraid that the streets would have been flooded.

After heavy rains, silt and tree branches and leaves from the upper reaches of the Weishui River were washed downstream, causing the downstream river channel to be blocked and the upstream river overflowing.

Wei Tiezhu, whose family has been engaged in dredging for generations, took his son and two other river dredging workers to take over the dredging work, holding a small boat to swim in the lower reaches of the Weishui River, constantly cleaning up the blocked river.

At noon, the scorching sun made people dizzy and dry, Wei Tiezhu opened the water bladder and took a few sips of cold water to eat under the stomach, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

"This year's rain is evil, in previous years, Guanyin's birthday was a sunny day, but this year there was a heavy rain, and it stopped for a day and a night."

When his words fell, his son Wei Changgui said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." ”

Hungry, the father and son ate a few steamed buns with cold water, rested for half an hour, and began to desilt again.

Wei Changgui inserted the fishing net pocket tied to the long bamboo pole into the water, and scooped it backhand in the direction of the current, and the net pocket was suddenly full. He emptied the stump leaves from his net pocket, and was about to continue into the water when he suddenly saw something in the pile of leaves.

He looked intently, then put down the bamboo pole, crouched down to peel off the leaves and mud, and a delicately made gold earring appeared in front of him. The earrings were droplet-shaped, and there was a red and bright gemstone inlaid in the middle, Wei Changgui weighed it, and the weight was not light.

"Daddy, daddy, look what this is."

Wei Tiezhu followed the prestige, and after seeing the things in his hand, he patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "You kid is lucky, we are rich now." ”

Wei Changgui grinned and carefully put away the earrings.

This earring inlaid with rubies made the Wei family father and son full of energy, Wei Changgui put down one net after another, and turned the sundries up every time, hoping to get some windfalls.

But it often backfires.

Seeing that his son was depressed, Wei Tiezhu threw him a bamboo pole with an iron hook tied to it, and asked him to hook the larger branches.

Wei Changgui went into the water with a rod, stirred in the water a few times, and suddenly felt that the iron hook had hooked something, so he pulled it up.

"Daddy, Daddy."

Wei Tiezhu looked at him, only to see his son pointing to the river, "There is something under the water." ”

Wei Tiezhu hurriedly went over to help, and the father and son were so busy with a bucket that they almost broke the bamboo pole, but they couldn't hook the thing up. Wei Changgui didn't believe in evil, took off the gown on his body, and stabbed down one by one.

After a while, Wei Changgui came out of the water, grabbed the side of the boat with both hands and flipped up.

I saw that his face was pale and his lips trembled.

"Dad, there's a dead man down there."

Wei Tiezhu's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, he was a father in the end, and he was much calmer than his son.

"You read that right?" He asked several times.

Wei Changgui almost swore an oath, and Wei Tiezhu stopped. The father and son hurriedly rowed the boat to the shore and hurriedly went to Jingzhao Yamen to report the case.

......

Yin Zhang Yuying of Jingzhao Mansion has been unlucky recently, and in May, she was reprimanded by the saint for the murder of the eldest girl of the Tanglin Palace, and was not only fined for a year, but also hated by the Tanglin King.

The weather was hot in June, and there were a lot of big and small things in the Beijing Yamen, which made him impetuous and bored. He was about to take a nap after lunch, when he was woken up by an eager voice as soon as he lay down.

The person who came was Song Dawei, the chief catcher of Jingzhao Mansion.

"My lord, it's not good."

Zhang Yuying raised her eyebrows angrily, "Lao Tzu is fine." ”

"Subordinates, my lord's forgiveness." Song Dawei hurriedly slapped his lips twice.

Zhang Yuying's face softened a little and asked, "What made you fuss?" ”

Song Dawei hurriedly said: "A female corpse was fished out of the Weishui River. ”

Zhang Yuying's face changed greatly, and she quickly got up from the couch, and asked while putting on her shoes, "Who found out?" Where was it found? Did you go to the autopsy? ”

Song Dawei answered them one by one.

But there is one thing he didn't say, when the female corpse was fished up from the Weishui River, many people saw it, and at this moment, I am afraid that it will spread all over the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

When Zhang Yuying and Song Dawei arrived at Yizhuang, they were conducting an autopsy. As soon as he entered, a thick, pungent rancid stench made him almost vomit out the overnight meal.

"Why does it stink so much?" He pinched his nose and asked.

He hurriedly replied: "The female corpse soaked in the water for a long time after her death, and the corpse was already decomposed, and the weather was hot, and the decay of the corpse intensified after seeing the light. ”

Zhang Yuying's brows furrowed, "Can you be sure when you died?" Did you fall overboard or was it murder by someone else? ”

The time of death needs to be examined in detail before a conclusion can be drawn.

Another question was answered by Song Dawei, who said that he was sure that the female corpse had been murdered to death because a huge stone had been tied to the body before it was recovered.

Therefore, after the heavy rain, the high water level of the Weishui River failed to wash the body to the surface.

The female corpse was decomposed and unrecognizable, so Zhang Yuying immediately ordered Song Dawei to investigate the case file of the missing woman in Kyoto in recent months and find out the identity of the female corpse as soon as possible.

Coming out of Yizhuang, Zhang Yuying looked up at the sky, only to see the blue sky and the scorching sun, but his heart was gloomy. For some reason, after seeing the nameless female corpse, he always had an ominous premonition.
