The rich aroma came like a tidal wave.

The hidden guards who entered the room fell down one after another before the word 'not good' slipped to their lips.

Candles lit up one by one.

For a moment, it was like daytime.

Chen Chaoyan also stayed at Yuqingzhu, and it was inconvenient for Lingyou, Chonglou and others to enter the house to report.After waiting for a while, Ruolan came over from Nong Yuzhu, glanced at the hidden guards who had already been poisoned and died in a pile, walked lightly to the door of the back room, and reported the result to Xie Xuan in a low voice.

Xie Xuan's voice came slowly from the darkness, "Send it to the official mine."

Ruolan should be, when she was about to turn around, Xie Xuan stopped her again, "Wait a minute."

Ruolan stops.

Xie Xuan made pillows with both hands, opened his eyes and looked at the dark bed curtain, thought for a moment, and then ordered again, "Give them each of the swords that were found from Qiu Jiu's bandit den earlier, according to their heads. "

Ruolan said: "You want to send the sword to the official mine?"

Xie Xuan gave an 'hmm'.

Ruolan waited for another moment, and after making sure that Xie Xuan had no other orders, she turned around and went out, relaying his request to Ling You and the others.

"Those arrows before have already caused them to be in a hurry, creating a rift between each other. Send these swords over again... Tsk tsk tsk, wonderful, this plan is brilliant!" Lingyou stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the inner room, and asked impatiently Said, "Young master, did you say who will send them to the official mine?"

Ruolan looked at him, "Do you want to go?"

"The one who knows me is Ruolan!" Ling You imitated Chen Chaoyan's previous action and gave her a thumbs up.

Ruolan said blankly, "You can go if you want."

Lingyou immediately said: "Okay."

After saying that, he planned to ask Zheng Liang for a carriage.

The servant suddenly said: "Don't go yet. Take out the sword and distribute it first, and then go to Mr. Zheng."

"Yes, yes, since you are going to play, then do the whole set!" Lingyou hurriedly followed Lingquan to carry out the swords that were seized at the beginning, and followed Chonglou and Nanling to collect the swords carried by the hidden guards. Said, "When I came out of Luyang County, I took the captured weapons and crossbows with me. It was really foresight."

"Even if you have the foresight, it is because you have the foresight." Yue Jian snorted coldly.

"I didn't say that I had the foresight." Lingyou replied, then looked at Lingquan and said, "Did the young master secretly ask you to take it with you?"

Ling Quan let out an 'hmm' and didn't pay much attention to him.

Ling You didn't take it seriously, and quickly picked up the swords brought by the hidden guards, and distributed the seized swords neatly. He clapped his hands and said, "Clean up, I'll call Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Liang, who was still living in the county government office, heard that there were hidden guards assassinating Xie Xuan. He was so frightened that he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he rushed towards Yu Qingzhu like crazy.

After arriving at De Yuqing Zhu, before he could take a breath, he saw the hidden guards who had been thrown out by Zhong Lou and others and piled up in piles, his legs gave way, and he collapsed on the ground.

After huffing and kicking for a long time, he asked in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, are you not injured?"

"No." Yuejian replied coldly.

"That's good, that's good." Zheng Liang quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead, got up on the ground with hands and feet, and gasped while leaning on the wall, "Chen, Miss Chen, are you not injured?"

Count him as having a conscience!After Yue Jian snorted secretly, he replied: "No."

After Zheng Liang said twice that it would be fine, he asked again: "My lord has explained, what should we do with these hidden guards?"

Everyone looked at Lingyou in unison.

Lingyou called injustice and said: "I just said that there was an assassination by a hidden guard, and he ran over like crazy. I wanted to say it, but I didn't have a chance to say it."

As he spoke, he also signaled everyone to look at Zheng Liang's feet.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, only to find that Zheng Liang was barefoot.

Look at his clothes... He was only wearing an inner garment.

Zheng Liang followed the gazes of the crowd, and after looking down at himself, he realized that he was not wearing outer clothes and shoes.After rubbing his feet back and forth in embarrassment, he folded his arms and said, "My lord, if you have anything to say, please tell me the truth, and I will handle it immediately."

"Just find a few ox carts or donkey carts." Ling You said quickly, "We will make arrangements for the rest."

After Zheng Liang answered yes repeatedly, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he ran away barefoot again.

Seeing his fat body quivering as he ran, Yue Jian was bored for a while, and said, "Master Zheng is not that bad."

The rest did not answer her words.

After Zheng Liang got dressed and personally brought the ox cart and donkey cart over with the yamen servants, everyone quickly piled the body of the hidden guard onto the cart.

A total of vehicular vehicles were worn.

Lingyou and Chonglou led twenty-fold soldiers and fifty yamen servants, each driving their own carts, and headed towards the official mine in the gradually brightening sky.

Doors and windows open.

The rich aroma dissipated in an instant.

And when the sun came out of the clouds and sprinkled the golden light on the world, Chen Chaoyan also woke up.

Opening his eyes, like the first morning, after vacating the bed curtain for a while, he was about to raise his hands when he heard Xie Xuan ask lazily and lightly: "Are you awake?"

Chen Chaoyan turned her head quickly, and saw Xie Xuan who was half lying on the bed not far away, reading idle books with one leg propped up. After a moment of bewilderment, she slowly realized that she stayed in Yuqingzhu last night.

Turning her head, she looked at the gauze curtain that was dyed golden yellow by the sun and fluttered in the morning breeze. She sat up with her arms stretched out, leaning halfway against the head of the bed, and asked, "Did the dark guard come last night?"

Xie Xuanshun looked over with her eyes, looked at the small hole on the gauze curtain that was burnt by the hidden guard's misty bamboo tube, and said casually: "I've been here, but just when I was about to take action, I was poisoned by Yue Jian and Bai Shao's poison." All down."

is it?

Chen Chaoyan looked at him suspiciously.

Xie Xuan glanced at her with a half-smile, then withdrew his gaze, continued to look at Xianshu and said, "Otherwise, what does the princess think?"

"It's nothing." Chen Chaoyan got up from the bed, moved his hands and feet quietly, and was slightly relieved when he found nothing unusual.

Xie Xuan saw her movements, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an imperceptible way.

Yue Jian who was waiting outside the door heard the movement and quickly opened the curtain to come in.While helping her to put on a dress, Yue Jian asked: "At dawn, a secret guard sneaked into the county government office to assassinate the prince and Miss Chen, did Miss Chen hear the movement?"

Yue Jian asked on purpose.

While outside the door, she heard the conversation between Xie Xuan and her.

The moment Nanling found out that there was a hidden guard, he gave a signal to the heavy building guarding under the window.Chonglou conveyed the content of the code to Xie Xuan in the room by tapping the window lattice lightly.

Xie Xuan tapped her acupuncture points immediately, and took the anti-drug pill and stuffed it into her mouth.

After Lingyou and Lingquan drove to the official mine, Xie Xuan released her acupuncture points again.

Yuejian asked this question on purpose to cooperate with Xie Xuan and make her believe that it was because she was too deep in sleep that she didn't hear anything.

Her purpose of doing this is not bad.But seeing Chen Chaoyan accepting their young master with great difficulty, she didn't want to annoy her because of this matter, and then get angry with their young master.

She didn't know that after Xie Xuan asked the question about the chance to go back in the future, Chen Chaoyan cherished every minute and every second of being together now.

Although Chen Chaoyan didn't know the twists and turns in her heart, she guessed it to some extent, and didn't poke her, just said: "I slept too deeply, I didn't hear anything."

"That's such a pity." Yuejian pretended to be serious and said, "There are quite a few hidden guards who came this time, but they were all silently knocked down by Bai Shao's poison and me."

Chen Chaoyan joked, "It's amazing."

Yuejian heard her teasing, but still pretended not to know and said: "Yes."

Putting on her clothes and putting on her makeup, when she went outside, she saw Zheng Liang approaching. Chen Chaoyan was about to say hello, and asked about the crystal dragon and phoenix cake, and saw Zheng Liang as if he had seen a ghost. Look at her, then look at Xie Xuan behind her, then look at her, then look at Xie Xuan, back and forth, it's an infinite loop.

Seeing that he couldn't recover for a long time, Yue Jian couldn't help asking fiercely: "It seems that what to do!"

Zheng Liang quickly regained his composure, then suppressed his horror, entered the room cautiously and apprehensively, bowed his hands, greeted Xie Xuan, then turned to Chen Chaoyan, bowed to the bottom and apologized: "I have offended Miss Chen earlier. At the office, please also ask Ms. Chen to be generous, don't be as knowledgeable as the lower officials."

Seeing his trembling appearance, Chen Chaoyan couldn't help looking at Xie Xuan, seeing Xie Xuan's expression of looking forward to the show, couldn't help smiling and said: "Master Zheng, please get up quickly."

Zheng Liang didn't move.

Chen Chaoyan had no choice but to say: "Master Zheng is also for the people of Jinyi County, so why offend him?"

Hearing what she said, Zheng Liang finally got up.Taking a quick glance at Xie Xuan, and then at her again, Zheng Liang rubbed his hands, still unable to hide his apprehension and said: "Miss Chen is right, everything I do is for the people of Jinyi County."

Moonlight scoffed.

Zheng Liang's face froze, and he immediately said: "I have already found a store that sells crystal dragon and phoenix cakes. Although the styles of crystal dragon and phoenix cakes are different, there are shops with this name in the store, and there are a total of 34 stores in Jinyi County."

Chen Chaoyan frowned slightly, "So many?"

Zheng Liang nodded, "Yes. Of the 34 shops selling crystal dragon and phoenix cakes, 21 are located in the county town, and thirteen shops are distributed in various towns. But whether it is the 21 shops in the county town or the ten shops distributed in various towns, None of the three companies have account books for scattered takeaways."

In other words, the clues to identify the suspect through the food in the stomachs of Zhou Erwa and Sun Siwa were broken.

After Chen Chaoyan pondered for a moment, she understood.

Zheng Liang was ready to leave knowingly, but Chen Chaoyan called him back and reminded: "Master Zheng, don't forget to send the land deed to Shangmen Village to Aunt Qian."

"Miss Chen, don't worry," Zheng Liang originally planned to find a random yamen servant to send him there, but after hearing her explanation, he immediately changed his mind and said, "I'll send it over after breakfast."

"Then please trouble Mr. Zheng." Chen Chaoyan bowed to him.

Zheng Liang hurriedly returned a salute in a panic before leaving in a hurry.

After watching him leave Yuqingzhu, Chen Chaoyan turned around and went to the study while Banxia and Ziling rice were not ready, took out the map of Jinyi County and spread it on the desk, and studied the distribution of the seven villages again for a while. After that, he said: "Today, we will go to Yuangou Village in the order from near to far. If the speed is fast, then we will go to Maozhuang Village and then go to Sangchen Village to find Uncle Zhou. If the speed is slow, then After going to Yuangou Village, go to Sangchen Village."

"When we go out in a while, arrange for someone to go to Sangchen Village and talk to Uncle Zhou first."

Seeing the moon repeatedly should be good.

Due to time constraints, Chen Chaoyan was also in a hurry to solve the case, so after breakfast, they only had a short rest before they set off.

Both Shangmen Village and Sangchen Village have only about a hundred households, but Yuangou Village is huge. The houses are built along the mountain, row upon row, stretching out a street about one or two miles long.

The occurrence of the murder made the villagers of Yuangou Village, like the villagers of Sangchen Village, all very vigilant.

The carriage was still more than a hundred feet away from the village, and two or thirty people rushed out of the village, blocking the entrance of the village with hoes and knives.

The 30 people are all headed by the middle-aged man at the head.

"Who are you and what are you doing in Yuangou Village!" The middle-aged man sternly shouted as the carriage gradually approached.
