Feng Yueming's eyes stared at the swaddling clothes in Heming's arms.

"Ning Wei, what's wrong?" Xie Zhengyi held Feng Yueming and looked at the swaddling clothes in Heming's arms with vigilance.

Heming reacted very quickly and knelt on one knee on the ground, "Miss atonement." ”

Shi Lin first heard the movement behind him and looked back, only to see that Feng Yueming's face was extremely ugly under the firelight, and he walked over in two steps, "What's wrong?" said and lifted the swaddling clothes in Heming's arms.

Miao Miao's eyes widened, her small mouth was slightly open, her face was bruised, and she was obviously out of breath.

Feng Yueming stood up straight, slowly walked in front of Heming, bent over and gently slid her fingers over Miao Miao's cheeks, her cheeks, which were still soft and delicate and warm during the day, were now cold and stiff.

Shi Linchu took Feng Yueming's hand and pulled her away from Heming's side.

Feng Yueming stumbled and leaned into Shi Linchu's arms.

"Bury this child well. Shi Linchu pressed Feng Yueming's head on his shoulder, obviously unwilling to let her look at it again.

Feng Yueming leaned on Shi Linchu's shoulder, but her eyes were still staring at the swaddling clothes in Heming's arms.

"Okay, let's find out what's going on. Shi Linchu looked at Aunt Miao Miao, who was half-lying on the ground, with a disgusted expression, "Lock her up first." ”

-------------------------------------

Shi Linchu pulled Feng Yueming back to the main hall and let people come in with hot tea.

Feng Yueming had been silent, her eyes wandering, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"What's going on with Miao Miao?" Although Luo Qingqing didn't see Miao Miao's appearance, he also understood what was going on.

"Drowned by the family. He Ye opened his mouth rarely, his face was very ugly, "A child like this whose parents have died is easy to be accused of being a father and mother, and if Miao Miao is alive, the family will have to support her, and now when there is a shortage of food and clothing, who wants to raise such a child." "And you can also use this matter to say that she is a lonely star, and it is because she is in the village that she suffered a disaster." ”

Xie Zhengyi sighed, patted He Ye's shoulder, and comforted him silently.

As soon as He Ye said this, the cause of Miao Miao's death was revealed.

"How can this be. Luo Qingqing said angrily, "Why is it that you can overcome your father and mother...... It's also a lone star. ”

"If that's the case, even if she isn't killed by her family tonight, she will be killed by the villagers tomorrow. Feng Yueming shook her head helplessly, "It's just that why did Aunt Miao Miao come over with her?"

"Is it asking for help?" Luo Qingqing frowned and thought about it, "Do you want us to save Miao Miao?"

"Probably not. Feng Yueming shook her head and denied this statement, "Miao Miao has been dead for a while, and if she asked for help, she should have come a long time ago." ”

"Mr. Mei, you know more about the people in this village, what do you think is the reason?" Shi Linchu looked at Mei Xiangkun, who had been silent, Miao Miao's death was not only Feng Yueming, but he should be the most uncomfortable.

"I can't think of it. Mei Xiangkun has been thinking about this matter, but he has no clue, "Miao Miao's family are honest and kind people, to be honest, I can't believe that they killed Miao Miao, not to mention that they came here with a corpse." ”

"Shizi. Xingzhi walked in from outside the door and saluted, "We found a packet of medicine on the woman's body. He respectfully handed over a paper bag, "The subordinates checked it, and it was soft and ecstasy." ”

Shi Linchu put the paper bag on the table, and lightly tapped his fingers, "This is not something that ordinary people can get." ”

"If these two things are the case, the most likely one in this village is Uncle He Qi. When Mei Xiangkun mentioned the name, the disgust on her face was undisguised.

"He Qi is still locked up by us. Xingzhi said.

"Looks like there are accomplices. Shi Linchu's face darkened, "What do they want to do?"

"Probably because they don't want us to take He Qi away. Xie Zhengyi frowned and said, he went to He Qi's house in the afternoon to take a look, "He Qi's house...... Something strange. He recalled the scene in He Qi's house, "Looking at the tattered house, but the clothes were all silk and satin. ”

"Okay, let's go and find out. Shi Linchu frowned and thought for a moment, "Dig three feet into the ground." ”

"Yes. The leader of the line retreated.

"Let's go sleep a little longer, it's still a while before dawn. Shi Linchu whispered to Feng Yueming.

"It's fine. Feng Yueming knew that she couldn't sleep, but she really wanted to be quiet for a while.

-------------------------------------

They investigated quickly and came back with news at dawn.

He Qi's home dug up two boxes of silver ingots, which most people can't earn in a lifetime, and Miao Miao's family except for her aunt all died at home, although they tried their best to make an accident, but after what happened the night before, no one would think that it was really an accident, obviously there are some dangerous people in this village that they don't know.

The morning sun has risen, and the sun is shrouding Baitai Village, but it can't dispel the depression and shadow brought by this village.

After all, the number of secret guards is not large, and at least half of them have to be set aside to protect Feng Yueming and them on weekdays, but now that they have encountered something, even the investigation is a little stretched, and it is even more difficult to find out who is hidden.

After a night of interrogation, Aunt Miao Miao was finally able to determine that this matter was given to her by two men she had never met, so that she was trying to find a way to stay with Feng Yueming and them, looking for an opportunity to ignite the powder.

There is no doubt that these people are coming for Feng Yueming and them, but if they are angry for He Qi, it is obviously too much of a fuss, in addition, there are almost a hundred taels of silver ingots hidden by He Qi, and the two things are connected, this He Qi must know something, or do something, so that these characters in the shadows attach great importance to it.

He Qi had been locked up in the firewood room of this courtyard, guarded by three secret guards, and it was impossible to kill him or rescue him.

Now the breakthrough point of the matter is undoubtedly on He Qi's body, Shi Linchu arranged the interrogation of He Qi, before the results came out, they obviously couldn't leave Baitai Village, and the itinerary after that had to be changed.

Feng Yueming was still a little depressed because of Miao Miao's death, but despite this, she had no appetite and slowly ate the porridge she cooked in the morning, and now even their food was not very sufficient, and every grain was extremely precious.

The interrogation of He Qi progressed slowly, Shi Linchu and Xie Zhengyi and they all passed, and now the most idle ones are Feng Yueming and a few of them, who have nothing to do during the day, so they and Luo Qingqing walked around the village accompanied by Mrs. Mei and Mei Qing'er, and the villagers pointed at them from afar, but they didn't dare to come forward, and they naturally ignored these people.

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, Feng Yueming looked over, and saw a team of people and horses galloping in the smoke and dust, too far away to see clearly, but it made her nervous instantly, and wondered in her heart whether these people had anything to do with those hiding in the shadows, until she saw the person in charge, her eyes lit up.

"Moonlight!"
