After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

After listening to Wu Zuo's words, Shuntian Fu Yin felt his head was big.

It was a premeditated homicide, which is difficult to deal with. Thinking about the recent rumors in Beijing, I instantly have the urge to resign and return to my hometown for retirement.

Of course, the impulse must be temporary, and the case still needs to be investigated.

He ordered the yamen servants to go to the scene of the crime and continue searching to see if they could find any clues. He also asked people to go to the homes of the missing people and ask them to identify whether they were his family members.

Xiao Yunheng and Lu Xiyue took advantage of the time they came to find Xie Zhizhou to understand the news found by Yin Shuntian.

When the two went out, they happened to bump into Xie Zhizhou who was coming towards him.

"My lord, my concubine." The young man raised his hand, he had already lost his youthful innocence, and after a long time in the army, he was a bit more stable and mature than before.

Seeing a few people meeting, Shuntian Fu Yin was busy investigating the case, and said: "Since that's the case, I won't send you off far away, you guys go slowly."

"My lord, you are welcome."

As soon as the words were finished, Xiao Yunheng and Xie Zhizhou exchanged glances, and started talking on a random topic.

It wasn't until the few people walked away that the governor of Shuntian Prefecture withdrew his gaze and called his subordinates: "Go and prepare pens and paper."

If it was just an ordinary case, he wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

But this woman is a pregnant woman, and she is one of the few who disappeared before.

Now the rumors outside are even worse, he can't be the master.

A few people left Shuntian Mansion Yin, many people gathered around the gate had already dispersed, but there were still many people poking their heads to look inside.

Xie Zhizhou didn't explain his purpose until Xue Ji's private room was guarded by guards at the door.

"I didn't find the woman's body. It was one of my subordinates. On the road where I joined me, I found an abnormality beside the river embankment. When I looked closely, I found a man running away sneakily. He glanced at the embankment, and saw a cloth shirt hooked by the embankment and a cloth bag flowing down the river, which seemed to contain a person."

Combined with the results of the autopsy conducted by Shuntian Mansion, Xiao Yunheng made a decision in his heart.

The woman's fatal wound was not the wound on her neck, but the assailant probably saw passers-by in a hurry, so he threw the woman who was still alive into the river.

"After I met him, I heard him say this. I felt strange and wanted to find out. It's just that the river is rushing. When we arrived, there was no trace of the cloth bag."

Xie Zhizhou recalled the situation at that time, and couldn't help feeling annoyed, if they had been faster, the woman might still have a chance.

"We salvaged for a long time, but finally found nothing. When we were about to go back to call someone, we found that the woman had been washed to the shore, and the cloth bag on her body was taken away by the current. You all know what happened after that."

Xiao Yunheng asked: "Did you see the appearance of the perpetrator?"

Xie Zhizhou shook his head, and said angrily: "The other party is covering his face and walking in a hurry. He doesn't know his appearance. His body shape is no different from that of an ordinary man. It is difficult to find him in a crowd."

The more ordinary people are, the harder it is to find them.

As the side that supports the Fifth Prince, the Marquis of Huai'an is now in the clear. Xie Zhizhou is also clear about Xiao Yunheng and the Fifth Prince's plans.

"Yao Xinyu has taken away more than one woman. Although I don't know why she insisted on murdering her to silence her, but since she killed one, she won't spare the lives of the others." Lu Xiyue's eyebrows drooped slightly, showing a cold look.

Yao Xinyu is ruthless, she has experienced it before.

However, what puzzled her was Yao Xinyu's reason for doing so.

Even if it is to kill people, there is no need to divide them into batches. She can kill all those women at once to avoid future troubles.

She just didn't do that.

The two understood what she meant.

Xie Zhizhou held his teacup, frowned, and said worriedly: "If she really has this plan, she must be fully prepared. If she sends someone to go at this time, it may be too late."

Xiao Yunheng looked sideways, watching her.

"I know a place that may be the murderer's hiding place, maybe he will still be there now."

After hearing Xie Zhizhou's description just now, Lu Xiyue suddenly remembered.

She gave an address.

Thanks to her careful reading of the original text before, now that Ji Wuhen is in deep trouble, according to his cautious style, he will never cause trouble on the cusp of this storm, Yao Xinyu is different.

As early as when she was young, she raised a lot of people who worked for her outside.

Wei Ning in the early years was also one of them.

Except for Wei Ning, the ordinary-looking man Xie Zhizhou said was the most loyal one.

Unlike Wei Ning, this man has no name and no family. He is an orphan, so he was raised by Yao Xinyu.

"How did sister-in-law know?" Xie Zhizhou was purely curious.

Even the elder brother and the fifth prince failed to find out, but she was so sure.

Before Lu Xiyue could speak, Xiao Yunheng said in a low voice: "She has her own way, you just follow suit."

Xie Zhizhou curled his lips, but he still remembered that someone had sworn to him that he had nothing to do with his sister-in-law, but just friends.

Looking at the way he is protecting his shortcomings now, he feels a pain in his face.

He nodded and said another thing.

"After Lan Ping's death, His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of all the cases related to the Lan family. This matter was handed over to the San Judicial Division for investigation. I made some inquiries a few days ago and found that the Lan family had a sum of money whose origin was unknown. I sent someone to Go and check it out in private."

Xiao Yunheng listened quietly, and there were waves in his calm eyes.

"As a result of the investigation, it was found that the origin of this money has a lot to do with the calculation of the execution."

Lu Xiyue's eyes tightened.

Xiao Yunheng stretched out his hand to hold her hand hanging by her side, and allocated some hands to Xie Zhizhou: "Just tell Yan Yi what happened."

It has been almost three years since the case of embezzlement of food and salaries by the Duke's Mansion. Before he returned to the capital, he was killed by the supervising army sent by Emperor Hui, and all his relatives were also exiled.

If you want to investigate, you must find those people.

Xie Zhizhou is now serving in the army and cannot leave.

Xiao Yunheng himself did not dare to come forward for many things, not to mention that the investigation of this matter had to be carried out three thousand miles away from the capital, and the last time he left the capital privately, he had already dissatisfied Emperor Hui and all the ministers.

This matter can only be handed over to others.

After discussing the final result, Xie Zhizhou left Xue Ji, and Yan Yi followed him quietly to Huai'an Marquis Mansion.

Lu Xiyue put her hands on the table, and looked at the person beside her with burning eyes: "So you have never given up investigating the events of the past, I thought you..."

"Don't worry." Xiao Yunheng interrupted her in a gentle voice, "They are too busy to take care of themselves now, and have no time to take care of these things."

Lu Xiyue felt a little complicated when she heard it. It was inevitable to be happy, but it was also inevitable to be worried.

After all, there is no room for mistakes at this juncture, but if Ji Wuhen pinches him seven inches, all previous plans will be in vain.
