The Bao family lives on a half-slope, and the road is too narrow for the carriage to come up.

After exposing the purpose of the elders, when the villagers were scrambling to avoid going down the slope, Xie Xuan glanced at Chen Chaoyan and said leisurely: "I thought Miss Chen would intercede for them." ”

Chen Chaoyan teased: "I heard what the prince said to the elders. ”

"That's a pity," Xie Xuan said lazily, "Originally, I was still planning to intercede for them, and if you intercede for them, I will ......"

Chen Chaoyan took his words: "The prince will punish me?" ”

Xie Xuan shook the jade bone landscape fan and said with a smile: "I remember a tea or two days ago, Miss Chen said that I was reluctant to let you break easily. ”

"Yes, I said that." Chen Chaoyan said, "But there is still a difference between being easy to break and being alive rather than alive." ”

Xie Xuan chuckled, "It seems that Miss Chen is planning to stick to her teacher's inheritance." ”

Knowing that he hadn't given up yet, Chen Chaoyan tightened his mind and said half-truthfully: "Since the prince loves talented people, he must have gathered countless talented people around him. Most of these talented people must be geniuses. The autopsy and solving the case is the foundation of my life, if I easily confess, wouldn't it be possible to be replaced at any time? ”

Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows, "I thought that Miss Chen's learning of the autopsy to solve the case was to clear up the grievances and ask for justice for the people." ”

Her original intention to study forensic medicine was indeed because of this, but the laws and regulations were all based on morality, and the morality of this dynasty was the supremacy of imperial power. If she wants to continue to pray for the people's lives, the first thing she has to learn is to protect herself. If you can't protect yourself, your ability is like a knife hanging over your head. Anyone who wants her to die can break the rope and take her life!

Just like the old lady Song who wanted her to be buried with her.

is like Lord Zhou who chased her for thousands of miles.

Chen Chaoyan suppressed his thoughts and said in a joking tone: "Have you ever heard of the story of Bole meeting Maxima?" ”

Xie Xuan said with interest: "Let's hear it." ”

Bole meets Maxima is the story of the Warring States Policy, and Chen Chaoyan is not sure if he has heard of it, so after telling him the gist of the story, he deliberately flattered: "The prince is Bole to me." Before I met the prince, I learned the art of autopsy and solving the case, in order to establish my life. After meeting the prince, it is to clear the grievances and ask for justice for the people! ”

Xie Xuan joked: "In order to survive, you are doing everything possible." ”

Chen Chaoyan shrugged: "There is no way, people are humble and light, so they can only do everything they can to survive." ”

Xie Xuan was amused, and couldn't help but look at her meaningfully: her identity is suspicious, her teacher is mysterious, and in the process of solving the case, she will look forward from time to time...... There are more and more secrets in her, heh, that's interesting.

Walk down the slope and change to a horse-drawn carriage.

After slowly driving out of Dongzhaohe Village, riding a horse, Wang Da, who was closely behind the carriage, walked a few steps quickly with the horse's belly, and after catching up with Feng Shoudao, he looked at the carriage in front of him and praised: "Miss Chen is really amazing, we spent half a month without any clues to find out the case, and she solved it in less than two hours." ”

Feng Shoudao nodded: "It's really amazing." ”

"I don't know where Miss Chen is taught," Wang Da said, "If we can learn from her master for a year and a half, I believe that if we encounter the same case again in the future, we will not be helpless again." ”

Feng Shoudao agreed: "I also have this idea. You arrange it first, and when I find an opportunity to ask Miss Chen about it, you will arrange for someone to come over. ”

Wang Da looked at him unexpectedly, "Adults haven't asked Miss Chen?" ”

"I'm busy solving the case, where can I take care of this." Feng Shoudao said.

"Yes," Wang Da followed, "I got up early and searched for half a month, and finally had the hope of solving the case." Everyone was riveting, and they couldn't wait to find out the murderer immediately. Hearing that the murderer was Sun Si, the brothers scolded her, and their respect for Miss Chen deepened. A few of them made a lot of trouble, and even encouraged me to come to the adults and ask them to leave Miss Chen in Luyang County. It's just that I heard that Miss Chen was rescued by the prince, and the prince is probably reluctant to give her up. ”

Feng Shoudao smiled: "This is really not necessarily. ”

Wang Da immediately said, "Is there a way for the adults to keep Miss Chen?" ”

"There's nothing to tell you about this, so it's okay to tell you." Feng Shoudao said, "The reason why the prince came to Luyang County is because two months ago, he instructed someone to fight on the street to impeach him. He traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, stopping and stopping, waiting for the emperor to order him to go back. But the emperor was probably determined to let him come here to endure hardships, and after the prince couldn't wait for the holy decree for a long time, he threw down the guard of honor and quietly sneaked to Luyang County. ”

"According to the prince's style in the past, the purpose of his coming to Luyang County is nothing more than to find something to make trouble and force the emperor to relent and let him go back."

"It's also Lord Zhou who should have an accident, or Miss Chen should soar into the sky, and the prince didn't go anywhere after going around, and went to Qingxi County."

Wang Da questioned: "No, if this is the purpose of the prince, why is he only punished the elder's provocation with a small punishment?" ”

Feng Shoudao looked at him twice, "Small punishment and big punishment? You can't help but underestimate the prince too much! What is the reason why he invited the prince to his mansion to carry the identity of the Xu family? It's not to overwhelm the other gentry and wealthy families! Now, the prince has banned all preferential treatment of the Xu family, what will the other gentry and wealthy families do when they hear the news? ”

"Moreover, the prince wants to force the emperor to edict him to return to Beijing, instead of staying here to clean up the official style and law. Lord Zhou's case of corruption and perversion of the law, I don't know when it will be concluded, and this will add another thing that the Xu family does not know how to respect and humble the law, so it will have to be delayed until the Year of the Monkey? ”

I see!

Wang Da, who was relieved, said with a smile after complimenting him: "In this way, did the adult deliberately let the old man make trouble in front of the prince before?" ”

Feng Shoudao didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but said: "The prince's status is noble, if you want to bump here, you and I can't escape punishment." Since the prince is eager to return to Beijing, I just do it as I please. ”

"It's still a big sight!" After Wang Da complimented him again, he took the opportunity to talk about Lord Zhou, "Zhao Wuwei has been going to Qingxi County to arrest Meng Baishan for several days, and according to the footsteps, he should be able to come back tonight." ”

Feng Shoudao nodded, 'um'.

"I heard Song Yanzhong say that Meng Baishan, who bought Lord Zhou, was originally a broken scholar, except for a few sour words, he was a waste who was not diligent and did not distinguish between grains and grains, and he was able to come to the Song family because Mrs. Song was reluctant to give up her daughter, and he was honest and responsible." Wang Da said gossipsily, "I believe that such an honest and responsible person said that he was being coaxed to compete for the Song family's family business, but I don't believe that he murdered his only son in order to compete for the family business." ”

"That Song Gongzi is the only seedling of the Song family, as long as the old lady Song is killed, after Song Gongzi takes over the Song family, Meng Baishan can sit back and enjoy the blessings, there is no need to take such a big risk to do those things that have lost their conscience."

"Not to mention, to win over a Zhou adult whose term of office is about to end."

Song Yanzhong is the nephew that Mrs. Song used to threaten Lord Zhou.

On the night when Xie Xuan returned to the county guard's mansion, Feng Shoudao asked Song Yanzhong to inquire about the situation in Meng Baishan.

What Wang Da said was not much different from what he learned from Song Yanzhong. And what Feng Shoudao thinks is not much different from Wang Da.

But Lord Zhou just insisted that Meng Baishan first bought him with silver taels, and then rewarded him with a lot of money after the deed was completed. In the absence of evidence, Feng Shoudao could only temporarily detain him.

"Could it be that Lord Zhou made a mistake in squeezing Meng Baishan to compete for the Song family's family business, and pushed the matter onto Meng Baishan in order to avoid heavy responsibility?" Wang Da said tentatively.

Feng Shoudao said quietly: "Yes or no, when Meng Baishan arrives tonight, let the two of them testify, and then we will know the result." ”

Wang Da nodded and said no more.

But the slightly drooping eyes crossed the slightest hint of strange light.
