The next day.

Qing Zhengsi's carriage stopped on the mountain path, and Huo Yijun and Jiang Xie got off the carriage and looked around.

In front of him was a barren land, overgrown with weeds and surrounded by bushes and thorns.

The tombstone was empty, and the candlesticks and plates were half-buried in the earth.

If it weren't for someone leading the way, no one would have believed that the lonely graveyard was the burial place of the son of a wealthy merchant in the three recent gouging cases.

Huo Yijun was already half sad before the autopsy.

The new prefect of Yingdu ordered the capture to start digging the grave quickly, Huo Yijun stood in front of the tombstone to put incense on it, and dug out the incense burner buried on the way.

Jiang Xie hurriedly walked over from the side, and his tone was mixed with a hint of worry: "Master Huo, are you okay?" ”

Huo Yijun shook his head, then put the incense on, and knocked on the stone platform with his hand, this sound - it was empty!

She fumbled around and pressed a bulge, and the stone platform jerked, revealing a stone trough with an iron box inside.

She presented the iron box to Jiang Xie: "My lord! ”

Jiang Xie opened the iron box, and there were two blank letters inside.

He didn't see anything wrong with the sun, but the fact that he put it in the tin box showed that there must be words on it.

Huo Yijun looked over and said lightly: "The words on this letter may have been specially treated, so it is better to go back to Qingzheng to deal with it." ”、

"It's fine." Jiang Xie gave up and continued to check.

On the other side, the Yingdu Mansion and the Qing Zhengsi worked together to dig out the coffin, and after digging the coffin lid, the strong smell of corpses silenced everyone present.

Xiang Xiu pinched his nose and said with a disgusted face: "My lord, this corpse is easy to get, and I'm afraid we won't be able to examine the other corpse." ”

"Why?" Huo Yijun frowned.

Xiangxiu looked at the general catcher, shirked and said, "Let's let Jiji, tell you why." ”

I saw the busy Zhong Ji hurriedly coming over to introduce the situation to the adults.

"The second corpse in the gouging case, the subordinates went to the Locke family to report the autopsy, but their attitude was very resolute, that is, they did not let the Qingzheng Department conduct the examination."

"The subordinates persuaded them, and they finally drove their subordinates out of the house, and today I heard that the Qing Zhengsi went to dig up the grave and perform an autopsy, and even sent government soldiers to be stationed in front of the grave."

Jiang Xie snorted coldly: "It's a joke, it's interesting that someone dares to stop Qing Zhengsi from handling the case." ”

"Inform the Qingzheng Division and the prefect of Yingdu, let's go to the Locke family's cemetery, since the Locke family sent people to camp there, it would be too shameful to not go to the Locke family!"

"Yes!"

Zhong Ji received the order and told everyone to hurry down the mountain.

Huo Yijun walked last, her pace was very slow, and the two of them didn't go down the mountain a few steps faster.

Suddenly, she stepped on the air and stumbled!

"Ahh

Mallow didn't notice the master's feet, and squatted in place with her regretfully: "Childe, how are you, can you still go?" ”

Huo Yijun waved his hand.

Malallow went to the front to call someone.

Not long after, Jiang Xie turned back and came to check Huo Yijun's injuries for the first time, he carefully sat on a stone, took off Huo Yijun's shoes and socks, and saw that Bai Nen's ankles were red and swollen.

"Yo, you're very skillful, you're swollen, even if you don't want to go to the Luo family, you don't have to be so ruthless to yourself." Jiang Xie looked at the ankle and snorted.

Huo Yijun refused: "I didn't!" ”

"I'm kidding, bear with me!"

Jiang Xie picked up her ankle and rubbed it a few times, and then returned to her place with a force.

"It's okay."

"I didn't expect Jiang Sizheng to be an expert, it's really amazing."

Jiang Xie waved his hand, stood up and looked at her injury, and thought for a while: "We still have to go to the Luo family cemetery now, it's not appropriate for you to walk with this injury, in order not to delay time, I'll carry you away." ”

"No, no, no, no!" Huo Yijun waved his hands and almost stuttered.

Jiang Xie chuckled and winked at her: "It's okay, I'm also responsible for your injury, your foot is not suitable for walking now, I will carry you out of here, but it is the best way, if you are a smart person, you will not refuse me." ”

"I ......" Huo Yijun was a little stunned.

Perhaps from this moment on, she finally saw the once cheerful and kind Jiang Xie.

The shadows of the past and the present were intertwined, and she gradually narrowed her eyes and bowed her head in response: "Good ......"

Jiang Xie turned around and took a stride, arched his body, and said to her, "Come on, come up." ”

Huo Yijun stood up, stared at his back for a long time, and finally decided to reach out to him with both hands, wrap his arms around his neck, and be picked up by him steadily.

"Lord Huo is so light, this body is as soft as a woman's bones, and when you go back to Qingzheng, you will ask the kitchen to add two dishes to you, and you have to eat two eggs every morning."

Huo Yijun didn't dare to move when he lay on his back, and couldn't help but say: "I don't like eggs, I only eat egg yolks." ”

"Hey, it's a coincidence, I only eat egg whites, we can eat eggs in the future, you eat egg yolks, don't eat egg whites for me, it's better to kill two birds with one stone......"

“……”

Mallow followed behind them, looking at their backs, and felt that they were a good match.
