After more than a month of dust and hard work, Xie Ming'an's profile profile is more profound and handsome.

The emperor hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xie Ming'an lowered his head and said, "When the minister went to investigate the fire, he really didn't find any clues of arson. ”

Shen Ningning frowned slightly when he heard this.

So, it wasn't someone who maliciously set fire to people, but really an accident?

Mo Lingwei saw the little guy standing, afraid that she would be tired, so he simply took her little hand, led her to the prince's chair, and sat together.

Xie Ming'an saw it, and his eyebrows jumped.

I just wanted to remind Shen Ningning to come down quickly, but I didn't expect that the emperor turned a blind eye to it, as if he was used to it.

also urged Xie Ming'an: "You continue, and then what?" What did you find? ”

Xie Ming'an retracted his gaze and arched his hand: "The minister found that the sweet potato vines raised by Zhang Liuye were not completely burned, and one person protected a vine and carefully preserved it. ”

"After the minister went, she took the initiative to donate the sweet potato vine."

Shen Ningning's dark and moist eyes flickered: "This person, isn't it Xie Yuanjiu?" ”

When Xie Ming'an spoke, she had a premonition.

Earlier, Shen Ningning heard Xie Erye say that Xie Yuanjiu went from his hometown in Changzhou to Nanzhou next door.

Along the way, she was helping the poor.

Xie Ming'an calmed his eyes and nodded: "It's her." ”

The Emperor frowned in surprise: "How could she be there?" ”

"Coincidentally, she and Miss Jiajia, a local prominent family in Nanzhou, have been opening a shed to give porridge and help the people on the day of the incident."

"When the fire was lit, they were the first to see the smoke billowing out, so they hurried over, but when they arrived, the fire was dangerous, and the minister's cousin Xie Si could only save a sweet potato vine outside the warehouse that was not growing particularly well."

"Before the minister left, she didn't know what to do with this vine, and she was even more afraid that someone would trouble her, so she didn't dare to speak out."

Shen Ningning stared slightly.

On his milky white face, he had a serious expression.

It's about Xie Yuanjiu, she won't believe a word.

The little guy was really scared of Xie Yuanjiu's deception.

What's more, this matter is really suspicious.

Shen Ningning felt that Xie Yuanjiu seemed to know that the imperial court would definitely send Qin to send him.

The Emperor was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but nod.

"She did a good thing unintentionally."

Mo Lingwei knew that Shen Ningning didn't like her, and naturally didn't have a good tone for Xie Yuanjiu.

He scoffed, "What's a good thing? didn't save the lives of Zhang Liuye and others. ”

"Everyone is dead, and she handed over the sweet potato vine to the imperial court, what can it mean?"

Xie Ming'an lowered his head and didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, the emperor shook his head and said to Mo Lingwei gently: "This kid has done a good thing in the end. ”

Immediately afterwards, the emperor looked at Xie Ming'an: "Since it is your cousin, then you can say, what good do I reward her?" ”

Xie Ming'an was silent for a moment.

He said: "My cousin asked the minister to intercede with the emperor and begged the emperor to allow her to go home to accompany her second aunt for the New Year. ”

The emperor was stunned, and then he reacted.

"I did hear that she did something wrong, and your father, Prime Minister Xie, sent her back to her hometown for reflection."

Shen Ningning pursed her lips and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that this matter has only found out this one result?" ”

It's ridiculous.

Not a single clue was found about the fire.

On the contrary, he learned that Xie Yuanjiu had done a good deed and wanted to bring her back.

Xie Ming'an's eyes were dark, and he looked at Shen Ningning: "Now there is only this one result." ”

Mo Lingwei said to the emperor: "Father, Xie Si's affairs are Xie Mansion's family affairs, even if you want to be rewarded, you shouldn't meddle in other people's housework." ”

The Emperor nodded thoughtfully.

He thought for a moment and said, "Pass this news to Prime Minister Xie and let him decide." ”

Subsequently, the emperor left Mo Lingwei to discuss government affairs, and said gently to Shen Ningning: "Ningning, we now have Dong Sanhua to be responsible for planting and cultivating sweet potato vines. ”

"Perhaps, Zhang Liuye of Nanzhou, he is really too careless, don't be too sad about this matter, let alone blame yourself, I won't blame you."

"Alright, you all go back and rest."

Mo Lingwei put a jade plaque in Shen Ningning's hand and asked her to enter the palace tomorrow to find him.

After that, Shen Ningning left the imperial study.

In the cold wind, the little guy had a fair and translucent face, with a little cold seriousness.

"Shen Ningning." Xie Ming'an chased after him from behind.

The little guy just couldn't hear and walked all the way to the sedan chair.

"I have something to tell you!" Xie Ming'an opened the curtain, and on his handsome white face, his sword eyebrows were furrowed.

Shen Ningning raised his eyes and looked at him: "Xie Shaoqing, with your ability, you only found out these, I'm really disappointed." ”

Xie Ming'an gritted his teeth, lifted the curtain and squeezed in directly.

The originally small car was squeezed by him, and Shen Ningning's small body had to stick to the car wall on the side!

She angrily waved her little pink fist and hit it twice: "Go down!" You're going to crush the kid! ”

Xie Ming'an picked her up, like holding his sister, and let the little guy sit on his lap.

The palace maid lifted the curtain and looked at them suspiciously: "County Lord, Lord Xie Shaoqing, ...... Do you want the slave to change to a big sedan chair? ”

Xie Mingan shook his head and urged in a cold voice: "No, just leave the palace." ”

His white and slender palm covered Shen Ningning's small mouth, and the angry little guy kept kicking his legs.

Wait for the sedan chair to move.

Xie Ming'an said in her ear: "Things are not as simple as I told the emperor. ”

"I have a major discovery, Zhang Liuye may not be dead."

Shen Ningning suddenly stopped struggling and raised his eyes to look at him.

Xie Ming'an let go.

He said with a calm eyebrow: "After I went to Nanzhou, the first thing I did was to conduct an autopsy. ”

Xie Ming'an is a corpse, let alone a charred corpse, even if it is a corpse soaked in water into a floating sac, he can confirm the cause of death and identity without changing his face.

"The fire burned down an entire granary used to cultivate sweet potato vines, and there were a total of fourteen corpses in it, and according to the survivors' confessions, one of them must be Zhang Liuye."

"But I visited and inquired everywhere, and I learned that Zhang Liuye's right little thumb has been missing since he was a child, but when I checked those corpses, they were all missing an inch of bone."

"And, in the corner of the rice barn, I found a particularly narrow hole with black handprints on it, and I suspect that Zhang Liuye got out of the hole after the incident."

Shen Ningning's eyes flickered, and his voice was soft and full of doubts: "But, after the fire was extinguished, why didn't he appear?" ”

Xie Ming'an lowered his voice: "He didn't dare." ”

"Zhang Liuye must have sensed that someone was going to kill him."

"That's why I didn't report the truth to the emperor as soon as possible, because I was afraid of startling the snake."

"Although I came back this time, I kept my hands and eyeliner there."

"I also left clues for Zhang Liuye, if he is smart, he will know how to use it and go to Beijing to find you smoothly."

Shen Ningning nodded.

The little guy frowned again: "Planting sweet potato vines is an order personally given by the emperor's uncle." ”

"Zhang Liuye and his group of people have a lot of prestige in Nanzhou, and the people know that they grow life-saving food for people all over the world, and ordinary people will not kill him simply for money."

The more he thought about it like this, the more Shen Ningning felt that the person behind the manipulation was too terrible.

Xie Ming'an gently patted her little shoulder.

"You don't have to worry, I'm investigating this matter, and I'll definitely give you a result."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Ningning, who was contemplating.

Xie Ming'an has one more thing.

That is, on the way back, he listened to his henchman and found out one thing.

Shen Ningning's parents are not so-called farmers.

Meanwhile.

In the ancestral hall of Xie Mansion.

Second Lady Xie was reverently wiping the incense table and the offering table.

She muttered in her mouth: "Ancestors, the guilty daughter-in-law has repented for you, and you are angry." ”

At this moment, she accidentally knocked down the tablet on the side.

With a "snap", the tablet fell to the ground and fell apart!

Second Lady Xie turned pale with fright.

Her first instinct was to look back at the door.

Don't be seen by the servants, or she's finished!

Luckily, there was no one at the door.

Second Mrs. Xie hurriedly picked up the tablet.

When she saw that this was just an anonymous tablet made by Xie Suzhi for Shen Ningning's pair of farmer parents, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's not the ancestors of the Xie family!

"If you look for an opportunity to redo it, you shouldn't be able to find it...... Huh? This is? ”

Second Mrs. Xie was about to put it away, but she saw that there was a thin board with engraved words in the mezzanine of the tablet.

She pulled it out and looked at it, and her eyes widened suddenly—

【Beloved Wife Shen Siyi's Spiritual Position】

Second Lady Xie couldn't believe what she was seeing.

This tablet is used by Shen Ningning to bow down to his biological parents, how can there be a name of Shen Siyi!

I also hid it in a special way.

Don't......

Second Mrs. Xie thought of a possibility, and immediately looked stunned and covered her mouth.

Shen Ningning, who was originally Shen Siyi's lost daughter?
