"Do you want an autopsy?" Nanling asked excitedly as soon as Zheng Liang left.

Chen Chaoyan shook her head, "I'm too tired today, I really need to do an autopsy, it's hard to guarantee that there are no omissions, let's do it tomorrow."

Recently, Lingyou, who was very keen to play against Nanling, immediately echoed: "That's right, you have a body made of iron, but the princess is not."

Nanling made a gesture and drew his sword.

Lingyou retreated behind Ruolan in an instant, "Speaking of which, what's the point of doing it?"

"Okay, don't quarrel." Shi Shu said, "After driving all night, and busy for half a day, let's go back and have a rest."

Chen Chaoyan really wanted to take a rest, the busy days had exhausted her body to the limit.If she didn't stop for a while, she was really afraid that she would collapse.

Relying on Yuejian's support to walk out of the mortuary, Zheng Liang also arranged her orders and came back, knowing that they were going to rest, although he was anxious to solve the case, he still took them to the back house non-stop.

Zheng Liang's parents, wives and concubines, and children all came to Jinyi County. His parents also opened a small dim sum shop in the county, and his wives and concubines were all helping out, so he did not live in the county government office.

"I don't know that the lord and Miss Chen will come to Jinyi County, and the courtyard hasn't been arranged yet." After entering the back house, Zheng Liangcheng said in fear, "The lord and Miss Chen will take a look first. If you need anything, just tell the officials , the next officer immediately prepares."

"No need." Yuejian said after walking around Yuqingzhu and Nongyuzhu next to him, "Master Zheng, if you have something to do, go to it first, we can do it ourselves."

"Then I will take my leave first. Ladies, if you need anything, just send someone to the Zhichunyuan in front to inform the next official." Zheng Liang shook his hands with interest, then turned and left.

After Chen Chaoyan glanced at his back, she looked back at Xie Xuan, "Which courtyard does the prince want to live in?"

Xie Xuanshi stepped into Yuqing Building.

Seeing this, Chen Chaoyan entered the Nongyu Building.

After Yue Jian and Bai Shao made the bed, Chen Chaoyan ate a few pieces of tea with the tea brought by the two maids sent by Zheng Liang, and then went straight to sleep.

"Miss Chen must be exhausted." After sending the maid outside the house, followed Bai Shao to arrange the clothes and other items quietly, and when she followed her out the door, Yuejian said softly, "After arriving in Juchang County, I didn't take care of myself." After resting, I still have to spend two days and one night or cross mountains and mountains."

Bai Shao looked back and said in a low voice: "Take care of me, I still have to be busy."

Yue Jian nodded, "I know."

"I'll go and exchange the servant book." After thinking about it, Bai Shao said, "Qi Wu's matter is not over yet, yet another murder case has come up. I have to wait on you alone, I'm afraid you will be too busy."

"Then you go, I'll sleep on my side for a while too." Yue Jian said.

Bai Shao went.

After a while, the waiter walked over lightly.

Yue Jian, who was crooked in the rattan chair, opened her eyes and motioned for her to lie down too, "Hurry up and squint for a while."

The servant went to her side, and after lying down on the wicker chair with her, he tilted his head to look at Chen Chaoyan on the bed, and then closed his eyes.

Qi Wu is dead.

The murderer was the hidden guard who had assassinated her.

Xie Xuan knew who those hidden guards were.

Although the serial murder case was urgent, Chen Chaoyan knew that if she didn't maintain her health well, no matter how urgent she was, she would not be able to catch the murderer.Therefore, she allowed herself to fall asleep freely.

The consequence of being free is that when she woke up, it was already the evening of the second day.

She slept for a full twelve hours.

After bathing, changing clothes, and eating two more bowls of clear porridge, apart from her still sore legs, Chen Chaoyan's spirit finally recovered.

Zheng Liang couldn't wait any longer.

With the clues he found, he was about to rush to Nong Yuzhu, but after being reprimanded by the servant, he reluctantly went to Yuqingzhu.

"This Mr. Zheng is too unruly!" the servant said with a stern face.

Yue Jian snorted, "He respects Ms. Chen in the face, but in his heart he thinks that Ms. Chen is just a coward."

Chen Chaoyan laughed and said: "When you said these things, shouldn't it be better to say it behind my back? In front of me, if I am a thin-skinned person, I will not dare to meet people in the future."

Yue Jian said: "I just deliberately said it in front of Ms. Chen, so that Ms. Chen would know that a duplicity like Mr. Zheng is not worth helping."

"I'm not helping him." Chen Chaoyan corrected, "I'm helping justice, ordinary people, or your son."

Yue Jian said: "Even so, Mr. Zheng has gone too far, Miss Chen doesn't want to teach him a lesson?"

"There is nothing to teach." After Chen Chaoyan finished the topic in a calm voice, she got up and said, "Let's go, go and see what clues have been found."

After Zheng Liang entered Yuqing Building, his body unconsciously bowed slightly.After respectfully bowing to Xie Xuanyi, and carefully handing over the clues, they shook hands anxiously and waited quietly.Seeing Chen Chaoyan coming in, he seemed to have seen a savior, and immediately moved over, calling in a low voice, "Miss Chen."

Chen Chaoyan nodded to him, sat down on a chair not far from Xie Xuan, and asked him, "What clues have you found?"

Seeing her sitting so calmly and freely, Zheng Liang was startled, and quickly looked at Xie Xuan.

Seeing that Xie Xuan didn't care at all, he couldn't help but stare at Chen Chaoyan in astonishment, and then at Yuejian, Shishu and others.Seeing that they were all used to it, I couldn't help being even more astonished.

In his opinion, Chen Chaoyan is far inferior to Yue Jian in terms of appearance or figure, why... He shook his head secretly, and after making a few remarks about Xie Xuan's eyes, Zheng Liangcai said : "According to Ms. Chen's order yesterday, the yamen servants investigated separately, and the seven people who died did not have a common acquaintance."

"Grandma Tao has a weird personality. Although her two sons are unwilling to live with her, she treats them very well. Most of the money earned from raising chickens and geese is used to subsidize the two sons. With Zuo The relationship between the neighbors is not good, but it has to be good. However, according to the villagers of Shangmen Village, Grandma Tao likes to gossip very much. Whenever she says something, it will turn into a different flavor. .So, her relationship with her neighbors is always up and down."

"Aunt Jiang in Sangchen Village is just the opposite of Grandma Tao. She is kind and helps others. The only bad thing is that she protects her weaknesses and dislikes the poor and loves the rich. According to people in Sangchen Village, when her daughter married Yang Erlang, who sells cakes in the town. Later, after Yang Erlang's business was taken away by the newly opened Hu Bing Shop, she went to the town every now and then to criticize Yang Erlang."

"The Cheng family of Yuangou Village..."

Xie Xuan handed over the clue records that he had read.

Chen Chaoyan watched and listened to what Zheng Liang said.

Cheng from Yuangou Village is a very diligent person, but for unknown reasons, Zhang Laosan often beat and kicked her, and whenever she went out, Zhang Laosan would personally pick her up wherever she went.

Li Shi from Nanzui Village is also a very diligent person, but contrary to Cheng Shi, she often beats and scolds Zhao Hu.Although Zhao Hu has the word Hu in his name, his personality is extremely weak.

Mrs. Zhou from Maozhuang Village is also a diligent person. Her relationship with Li Er is almost a combination of the advantages and disadvantages of Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Li and Zhao Hu.In other words, she and Li Er were fighting and scolding each other.

"That's all we can find out for the time being." After Zheng Liang finished speaking, he looked at Chen Chaoyan eagerly, hoping that she would immediately reveal who the murderer was.

Chen Chaoyan didn't raise her head, "We still need to continue the investigation."

Zheng Liang said with a bitter face: "We have already checked everything that needs to be investigated, what else should be investigated, Miss Chen, you can do it, and explain it carefully to the subordinate officer."

Chen Chaoyan raised her head and looked at him, "Who did they have any conflicts with or made enemies with, it's not there. In addition, you haven't found out who the Chengs have the closest contacts with."

Zheng Liang arched his hands, like a New Year greeting, "I checked, but I can't find it."

"If you can't find it, check it hard, check it carefully!" Yuejian said coldly.

Zheng Liang looked at her fearfully, and said embarrassingly, "I'll go and investigate right now, sir."

After speaking, he ran away in despair.

Yue Jian looked at his back and snorted, "He should investigate this case by himself, Miss Chen will help him, and he still wants to cheat and play tricks!"

Chen Chaoyan made no comment.

In all fairness, he found out so many clues in just one day, which is already pretty good.

It's just like what Yue Jian said, seeing her from a low background and doing such low-status things, she will unconsciously underestimate her.

Chen Chaoyan didn't care much about what other people thought of her.

After reading the clues from beginning to end, she said: "Judging from the only clues, the murderer seems to have selected the victim. It's just that the selection rules are not very clear yet."

After saying this, she raised her eyes to look at Xie Xuan, "The hidden guards who chased and killed Qi Wu are the remnants of the hidden guards that the prince went to Juchang County and Tangyang County to eradicate earlier?"

"Almost." Xie Xuan said casually.

"Then how to investigate later, does your lord have any ideas?" Chen Chaoyan asked.

Although Qi Wu's line was broken, they also came to Jinyi County where the official mine is located.What to do in the next step to enter the official mine is very important.

Xie Xuan's eyes fell on the clue she was holding, "You check the case in hand first."

Chen Chaoyan smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows, "Can't you say it again?"

"No." Facing her questioning gaze, Xie Xuan hooked the corner of his mouth, "I have to think about it."

"Didn't Nanling say that the arrow on Qi Wu's body was made by the government?" Chen Chaoyan reminded, "Can't we start with it?"

Xie Xuan clicked his tongue with a half-smile.

what?Chen Chaoyan glanced around, saw that Chonglou was not there, and immediately reacted: "It seems that the prince has already made arrangements."

I thought so too, how could he let go of such an obvious handle.

"Check the case in your hands first," Xie Xuan said slowly, "Let them quarrel for a while before talking about the arrow."

Chen Chaoyan nodded. Although he knew that he was considerate, he still reminded: "If you can not give away the arrow that killed Qi Wu, it is best not to give it away."

Xie Xuan gave an 'hmm'.

Just when Chen Chaoyan thought he would not speak anymore and was about to go to the mortuary to examine the seven corpses, he spoke again, "Wangfei must be more careful these days, don't get out of the sight of Yuejian and Nanling. Jinyi County Although it is only one county, the situation is much more complicated than in Luyang County because of the existence of official mines and the establishment of the Mining Bureau, Zhuye Supervisor, Beidu Military Weapons Supervision, and Jiafang Department.”

"The dark guard chased and killed Qi Wu, but bumped into the forbidden army. Probably no one expected the result. And this result was caused by the pear blossom wood and pear tree provided by the princess. Therefore, will the other party come out of shame? For the princess, no one would have expected it."

Chen Chaoyan nodded, "Understood."

Xie Xuan smiled, "Princess don't have to worry too much. With me here, I will always keep you safe."

Chen Chaoyan smiled, "I believe in the prince."

Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows.

But Chen Chaoyan stood up and said to Nanling, "Go, let's go to the autopsy."
