When Zhou Du saw someone carrying out a charred corpse, he fixed his eyes and wanted to go over to see what was going on.

Xu Yanqing hurriedly lowered her voice: "As far as the lower officials know, the princess is not here."

Zhou Dui's pale face finally eased a little, and he looked at Xu Yanqing, "Lord Xu, please come with me."

Zhao Qingqi was wondering why a big man like Zhou Duan would come to such a remote place in the southern suburbs, and when he saw Xu Yanqing's sneaky appearance, he was suspicious.

It's just that he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Zhou Dui, so he could only watch Zhou Du and Xu Yanqing walk aside and whisper.

"What does Lord Xu mean is that Xiyan has indeed been to this place?" Zhou Du also eased up at this time.

If Xiyan has been to this place, and there is another charred corpse here, it just so happens that Dali Temple is investigating this case, and he exposes the fact that Xiyan has been here, then Xiyan is likely to be involved in this case.

Fortunately, Xu Yanqing stopped him in time.

"I think I've been here. Only His Highness also saw that the house had been burned to ruins, and there was a charred corpse. If the princess had come, she would have been involved in this case, because she couldn't let Qingqi know the fact that the princess had come. The lower officials can be sure that the charred corpse is not the princess, please rest assured, Your Highness." Xu Yanqing said in a low voice.

Zhou Du saw Xu Yanqing protecting Xiyan like this, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart. If he didn't care about Xiyan, how could someone like Xu Yanqing pretend to be public and private?

"King Qin has also been here." Zhou Dui's eyes shone slightly.

Xu Yanqing really didn't know that Zhou Xing had also come to the scene of the crime, and soon he understood that Zhou Du was worried that Xiyan would be taken away by Zhou Xing, but he saw that Xiyan was alone and there was no trace of Zhou Xing.

"If Your Highness is worried about the princess, you might as well go home first, maybe the princess has already returned home." Xu Yanqing can't say it too plainly, so she can only remind vaguely.

While the two of them were whispering, Zhao Qingqi came over and said, "Your Highness, the people who have just stepped down from the official have found a lot of messy footprints, and they have also found a cellar. The cellar is not far from the east wing, and there is a lot of wine in the east wing, and there is also a broken lamp, which should have ignited the wine before it caused the fire. As for the specific cause of death of the corpse, the results of the autopsy will need to be determined by the post-mortem."

"How can you light it up in broad daylight?" Xu Yanqing expressed his doubts.

Zhou Du glanced at Xu Yanqing, and Xu Yanqing immediately shut up.

Zhao Qingqi didn't see Zhou Du and Xu Yanqing's eyebrows and eyes, and echoed: "Exactly. How is it possible to light up in broad daylight? So someone must have set it on purpose. I don't know what kind of grievance it is, but I don't hesitate to use this way to set myself on fire and avoid disaster."

"How can you be sure that the deceased burned himself?" Zhou Du asked.

"Because it is impossible to light the lights in broad daylight, and a group of people suddenly broke in, it is very likely that they wanted to arrest the deceased......

Before Zhao Qingqi finished speaking, he saw Zhou Du go to the deceased.

Qi Zhiyuan understood and stepped forward to lift the shroud.

Zhao Qingqi looked at this scene and was secretly surprised.

Obviously, His Highness's temperament is so outstanding, as if he is not stained with red dust, but when he sees such a charred corpse, His Highness's face does not change.

Zhou Du carefully looked at the scorched corpse, secretly thinking that the person who could make Zhou Xing mobilize the crowd to arrest him was clearly Mr. Yan.

So the deceased was Mr. Yan?

Xiyan will come here to meet with Mr. Yan, and it also attracted Zhou Xing?

But Xiyan should know how important Mr. Yan is, how could he only take Hu Die out with him? She is so smart and values Mr. Yan so much, how can she expose such a big flaw and give Zhou Xing a chance to catch Mr. Yan?

It's weird to think about it.

Xu Yanqing was also looking at the scorched corpse, and he found that Zhou Dui's eyes were empty, as if he was looking at the scorched corpse, but he was actually thinking about it.

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong with the corpse?" Xu Yanqing asked Zhao Qingqi's heart.

Zhou Du didn't say anything, and opened his lips indifferently: "I need to do an autopsy to know if there is a problem, I am not an expert, so I can't see the problem."

With doubts in his heart, he might as well go and interrogate his little wife.

That girl has a lot of secrets, and this time his feeling is that Xiyan has done something again, and this time it is involved

human life, this girl's courage is getting bigger and bigger.

"Lord Xu sent me out." Zhou Du suddenly looked at Xu Yanqing and said.

Xu Yanqing didn't dare to object, who made the family a big prince, how dare he disobey a small principal?

Zhao Qingqi felt that the aura between Zhou Du and Xu Yanqing was a little weird, but he didn't dare to step forward and eavesdrop, so he could only watch the two walk away.

Xu Yanqing guessed that Zhou Duan had something to ask him, and it was about Xiyan.

He wondered how he would answer when Zhou Du asked later. It was Mr. Yan's business that Xiyan asked him to hide from her, so did Zhou Du know what Mr. Yan was?

In fact, he was also curious about why Xiyan appeared in this place, and the appearance of this charred corpse had something to do with Xiyan, otherwise Zhou Dui would not have followed him.

When there were no extra people around, Zhou Dui looked directly at Xu Yanqing and asked, "Where did Lord Xu see Xiyan?"

Of course, Xu Yanqing couldn't tell the truth, so he only replied vaguely: "The lower officials only know that the princess has come, and the other lower officials don't know."

Zhou Du carefully observed Xu Yanqing's expression: "Lord Xu is sure?"

Xu Yanqing smiled dumbly: "His Royal Highness is the husband of the princess, and His Royal Highness should know the whereabouts of the princess better."

Zhou Dui's eyes were unpredictable, and he felt that Xu Yanqing must have seen Xiyan, but when and where he had seen Xiyan, Xu Yanqing was obviously unwilling to say more.

It's just that he is more worried about Xiyan's safety at the moment, and he doesn't have the heart to interrogate Xu Yanqing carefully.

"Lord Xu has time next time, come and drink tea with me." Zhou Dusk slowly hooked his lips.

"The lower officials are disrespectful." Xu Yanqing said without humility or arrogance: "Congratulations to Your Highness."

He knew that Zhou Du wanted to see Gu Xiyan at the moment, and he was in no mood to deal with him. When Zhou Dui is free, come to him again, Zhou Dui will not be so easy to bluff.

Zhou Du took a deep look at Xu Yanqing and didn't say anything more.

He jumped on his horse and rode away.

Xu Yanqing looked at Zhou Dui's distant figure, and a little smile appeared on her lips. He suddenly felt that he hadn't lost too much to Zhou Duan, at least he knew another layer of Xiyan's identity, and Zhou Dui knew less than him, which was interesting.

After sending Zhou Dui away, Xu Yanqing turned back to the ruins with a heavy heart, and Zhao Qingqi saw him come back, and asked in a low voice, "How can a character like His Highness appear in this deserted place?"

"Maybe I heard that there was a murder here, so I came to take a look." Xu Yanqing said perfunctorily.

Zhao Qingqi sneered when he heard this: "We all found out about the murder here, and His Royal Highness was still in the palace before, how could he know that there was a murder so far away?"

Obviously, His Highness looked anxious when he first arrived, but Later, Ah Yan whispered a few words to His Highness, and His Highness returned to normal.
