The real daughter is reborn, I will no longer be this evil stepmother

How did she get it?

Jiang Mingyue looked at the soles of her feet and saw that they were there too!

She thought of a possibility.

Before she immediately turned around, she pretended to be a ghost and pulled Qiaoer to the ground, towards the dark branch of the cave...

Got here and checked.

Sure enough, there were a lot of saltpeter debris on the ground.

It's all the way, it's scattered during transportation...

After receiving this knowledge, Jiang Mingyue's mind was shocked!

She couldn't help but think of her past life, when a tragic accident happened during a New Year's Eve party.

A mountain next to the Nianji suddenly exploded. The rubble on the mountain splashed everywhere, overwhelming half of the Nianji...

There were so many people at the New Year's Fair that there were many casualties.

There was also considerable damage to the goods.

It is one of the largest tragedies in the history of Dajing Kingdom.

The people didn't know why it exploded. They only speculated that the evildoers from the Zodiac Pavilion were up to something, and the court suppressed the matter.

I'm afraid that the rumors will be too big and affect future annual gatherings.

Therefore, the matter was left undisturbed and did not spread very far.

Jiang Mingyue only knew about this matter when she was in the capital. If she were in other prefectures, she probably wouldn't know about it.

……

She strongly suspected that the tragedy might happen again.

However, that explosion did not happen this year.

It's two years later!

Could it be that it was earlier?

No matter what, you must check it out.

The safety of the people is paramount.

Dad, eldest brother, and Xiao Hai are all in the annual gathering, so nothing can go wrong.

She can't bet.

But with her own power, she would never be able to stop this. She had to report it to the official.

It would be best to find second cousin Sima Yexia, tell him the situation, and ask him to report it to the official, so that no suspicion would be aroused.

Just do it!

Just do it!

Jiang Mingyue hurried out to find Sima Yexia.

who knows,

Just after she came out of the cave, a sudden voice startled her.

"Doctor Jiang, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Mingyue was almost scared to death.

Liao Shiyu!

Here he is, making no sound at all.

Let her not notice.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have run out naked.

He will definitely hide in space to avoid him.

This time, he was caught red-handed.

"Ah! Why is Governor Liao here?

I came after my second cousin. My second cousin was taken away by Qiaoer during the rat tide. I was worried about him, so I chased him and found Qiaoer dead here.

I didn’t know what happened. I was afraid that something happened to my second cousin, so I went in and searched..."

Thanks to Jiang Mingyue's clever mind.

Thoughts of rhetoric.

Liao Shiyu's scrutinizing gaze struck her soul directly.

"Oh, did you find anything?"

Jiang Mingyue hurriedly shook her head, "Second cousin, I didn't see you. He should not be here anymore..."

She hesitated.

Should I go out and report to the official?

Or report it directly to Liao Shiyu?

Liao Shiyu is the governor of the Secret Guards, and he happens to be in charge of this matter. All difficult and complicated cases, difficult to solve, or major cases will eventually be transferred to the Secret Guards.

but,

Would it be too eye-catching to report directly to Liao Shiyu?

When she hesitated, Liao Shiyu spoke coldly and arrogantly.

"Your cousin Sima Yesia is safe and sound. It was he who reported the case to the governor. There was robbery and human life here. This person's name is Qiao'er. According to Sima Yesia, he was the domestic slave killed by Xie Fang! "

He had just subsided the rat tide, and there was a murder case here. He came over to check on the situation.

Found someone in the cave.

He thought he was a bad guy and could catch his tail.

Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Mingyue who came out.

Jiang Mingyue appeared here sneakily, so there must be some deception.

"That's great. It's good that my second cousin is fine. No wonder Qiao'er was killed by a gold hairpin. It was actually Miss Xie who killed her..." Jiang Mingyue answered the words pretending to be natural. In this case...

Jiang Mingyue pretended to pull on Qiao'er's clothes, "However, there is something strange about her death. Mr. Governor, I just checked the cause of her death and found that there was saltpeter on her clothes and on the soles of her feet. She was the maid of a lady." , what’s your intention of carrying something as dangerous as saltpeter on your body?”

Just report it first.

The situation is critical.

When Liao Shiyu heard the word saltpeter, his expression condensed.

He didn't check so carefully just now...

After another look, sure enough!

"Is there saltpeter on the soles of your feet?" His eyes were as sharp as a dog's, and he immediately spotted the contamination on the soles of Jiang Mingyue's feet.

Jiang Mingyue said, "Ah! It is true. I just went inside to find my cousin in the cave. It must have been contaminated inside. How about Governor Liao go in with me to take a look? How could there be such a thing here? Where's the saltpeter? There are several forked holes inside, and I don't know where they lead. The little girl doesn't dare to go in too much by herself, for fear of..."

She's so scared.

She came out to report to the official. There must be something fishy with so much saltpeter powder.

She searched for it alone, to no avail.

Her personal power is too weak.

At this time, it is most appropriate to seek help from the hidden guards.

At first, I planned to find my second cousin and let him find the hidden guard. But now that I have met Liao Shiyu, I can save this step.

Liao Shiyu said in a deep voice, "Lead the way."

These two simple words made Jiang Mingyue shiver involuntarily.

She was not even afraid of death, but she was afraid of Liao Shiyu anyway.

Something terrible happened once.

I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

Liao Shiyu looked at her sideways, "What bad thing have you done? Are you so afraid of me?"

Jiang Mingyue...

"No, no! The little girl has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, but she doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of the governor!"

I was so nervous that my palms were sweating.

After saying that, quickly lead the way.

Liao Shiyu took a sniff, and he smelled the faint body fragrance again.

Subconsciously, he stopped and tried to stay as far away from her as possible.

The two of them entered the cave, one behind the other.

Jiang Mingyue thought that this was wrong!

Both of them entered the dark cave without lighting a torch.

She had to put on a show, "Mr. Governor, it's too dark in here. How about we light a torch?"

Liao Shiyu said coldly, "No need, I can see it at the peak level of the Grand Master."

Jiang Mingyue...

"Then I can't see, I'll light a fire to take a look..."

Liao Shiyu said impatiently, "After all this trouble, I didn't even light a torch when I saw you coming out just now! Speed ​​up! Just move forward."

Jiang Mingyue...

Is she pretending or not?

Is Liao Shiyu a devil? Not at all humane.

If he talks to people like this, does he still have friends?

Well, it seems like he doesn't need friends either.

Jiang Mingyue could only bite the bullet and move forward.

However, in order to show her respect, she still took out the small fire folder she was carrying and lit some after taking a few steps.

Pretend to take photos of your surroundings.

Especially in places where a lot of saltpeter powder falls on the ground.

Will take special photos.
