I saw that Du Ruo carefully mixed those things with water and pounded them while grinding, and after a while, they turned into black paste, and she carefully applied those pastes to Miss Shi's snow-white long hair, and her eyebrows and even eyelashes did not fall.

After a while, Du Ruo wiped those off with a damp cloth again, and the original snow-white hair had turned back into black silk.

Du Ruo looked at it for a while and sighed: "Although I don't want that to be the same as before, this is also the best I can do!"

In this way, at least the Shi family can give their daughter a beautiful funeral, so that this poor girl can walk decently. ”

She took out the salva and rouge from the wooden box again, and carefully helped Miss Shi Jia apply it to her face.

Miss Shi's originally lifeless pale face seemed to have a bit of non-existent vitality, as if she was asleep, and it no longer made people feel creepy.

Du Ruo tidied up the middle clothes worn by the female corpse, and everything returned to its original state.

In order to ensure that the corpse would not have any problems at this juncture, Ye Yuanzhou put the heavy coffin lid back on.

After being busy for a long time, Du Ruo also felt very tired at this time, and he didn't know if he had been hungry for too long, but he didn't feel that he had any strength in his body, and after packing up his things, he couldn't wait to sit on the ground.

However, with Ye Yuanzhou here, she still had to take care of her image and did not show that sense of powerlessness.

Shi Yuan's family is obviously very concerned about this matter, and it is estimated that it has been tossing for a long time, so he sent someone to inquire about the old housekeeper near the mortuary room, and when Du Ruo was done, he hurriedly bowed and asked people to go home.

At this time, the night was getting thicker, they were tired and hungry, and they couldn't ride back to Pingcheng County on horseback like they did during the day, so they didn't shirk their enthusiasm for the Shi family, and as the Shi family's descendants passed, they planned to have some meals at the Shi family and spend the night.

It is estimated that no one in the government has been willing to pay attention to the matter of Miss Shi before, but now that someone has finally asked, the Shi family is very excited, and the group has not waited until they reach the door of the Shi family's mansion, and many servants with lanterns have been arranged on the road.

When these servants saw Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou, they shouted "benefactor" in their mouths, and bowed vigorously, making Du Ruo a little unable to sit still on horseback.

Although she wanted to find out what was behind the abduction of the woman, and what kind of conspiracy was there, this was the first case that she could justifiably investigate after being appointed as an official of the imperial court.

And this place in Songzhou looks ordinary on the surface, but there seems to be an undercurrent surging in private.

She has this heart, but she doesn't know if she also has the power to thoroughly investigate the matter and give many victims an explanation.

Ye Yuanzhou was much calmer than her, and he also seemed to see Du Ruo's worries.

"Don't panic, I will definitely help you in this matter." He let the two horses go hand in hand, turned around, and whispered in Du Ruo's ear, "You are their only hope, and the more confident you are, the more they will be at ease." ”

Du Ruo nodded, took a deep breath, put away the moment of hesitation in his heart, and made himself look more confident.

Not to mention the other counties in Songzhou, just in Pingcheng County, it has been so long since the matter of "Bai Wuchang marrying a wife", but I have never heard that anyone from the government has come forward to investigate this matter.

This can be regarded as an indication of the attitude of the officials.

So no matter whether he can solve the mystery in the end, Du Ruo knows very well that besides her, I am afraid that there will not be a second person in the state capital who is willing to bother with this matter.

Shi Yuanwai and Mrs. Shi also came out of the house early, standing at the gate and looking forward to Du Ruo's arrival, Lao Yuan heard the sound of horses' hooves, and greeted them with the support of his son.

Shi Yuanwai has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he has not been able to eat and sleep well since his daughter disappeared, and then found out that his daughter died so strangely, which was simply worse for him, and his hair turned gray almost overnight, and the whole person quickly lost weight.

His wife's situation was no better than his, and the old couple almost took half their lives because of the misfortune of this precious daughter.

So this time, I suddenly heard that there was a senior official who didn't even dare to offend the county order to personally inquire about his daughter's affairs and re-examine the autopsy, which was like suddenly lighting a lamp on their gloomy future.

As soon as Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou got off the horse, they saw Shi Yuanwai and his wife kneeling down in front of the horse, startling both of them, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up.

"What are you doing here?" Du Ruo was a little at a loss, "How can this be done!" We just do our part, where can we receive such a great gift! ”

"Dusima!" The old man outside the stone member burst into tears, and it seemed that the pain and grievances that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time came up at this moment, "The little girl died miserably!"

Our Shi family is kind to people up and down, our ancestors have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason, my daughter should not suffer such a catastrophe!

Ask Du Sima to make decisions for the little girl, and return the little girl's innocence! ”

As soon as Du Ruo heard what Shi Yuanwai called him, he knew that it should be that the previous family had already revealed the identities of himself and Ye Yuanzhou to the main family in advance when he was running around to spread the word, which also allowed her to save some tongues.

"Even those who do nothing evil have their own laws to punish them, and it is not the turn of others to decide life and death at will, let alone innocent people." Du Ruo sighed, the harvest of today's autopsy made her heart heavy, thinking of how desperate and painful the Shi family lady should be after falling into the hands of the gangsters, she felt uncomfortable, "I don't dare to say that I will definitely be able to solve this case, but I can promise you that I will do my best to give you an explanation." ”

"If the two adults are willing to help us find out about the little girl, they are already the great benefactors of our Shi family!" Shi Yuanwai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "My lord, please come in!" I asked the kitchen to prepare some coarse tea and light rice, and I hope that the two adults will not dislike it and eat some reluctantly!

The guest room has also been asked to clean up, please take the time to rest after dinner, today is really tired! ”

She did need some food to sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple.

However, when she arrived at the dinner table, she found that Shi Yuanwai's humility was inevitably used too much, and the sumptuous meal on the table in front of her was not at all related to "coarse tea and light rice", it was simply regarded as luxury.

In any case, it is a blessing to be able to eat such a delicious meal despite hunger.
