All the members are villains, and she just wants to show off when she is dressed as cannon fodder.

"Does it look good?"

Qu Baiyu asked next.

Zhang Qiao fell to his knees as soon as his legs weakened, "Your Highness, forgive me! I mean... I looked at that girl... I looked familiar... I had no intention of blaspheming the girl!"

"look familiar?"

Yuan Tong'er was confused when he heard this, "Do you know me?"

Zhang Qiao was so frightened by Qu Baiyu that he didn't dare to look up at Yuan Tong'er. He just hesitated and didn't know whether to answer yes or no.

Qu Baiyu crossed his arms over his chest and softened his tone, "Look up and look carefully. Do you recognize her?"

Only then did Zhang Qiao dare to raise his head, take a closer look at Yuan Tong'er, and said, "Are you... Xiao Tong'er? Yuan Tong'er?"

Yuan Tong'er nodded. It was the same name as his own. Could it be that he wore it because he had the same name and surname? What a coincidence!

Zhang Qiao became even more confused, "You, have you lost your memory?"

"how do you know?"

Yuan Tong'er asked.

Zhang Qiao slapped his thigh, pointed at Yuan Ji lying in the middle of the room, and said, "He is your father!"

With a "boom", Yuan Tong'er felt as if a mountain had collapsed in his head. The person who suffered just now is actually her father in this world? !

Qu Baiyu was also stunned, how could it be possible? Could it be that she was adopted by Yuan Ji after she disappeared?

"Do you recognize it clearly?"

Qu Baiyu confirmed again.

Zhang Qiao immediately said with determination: "I'm sure, little one! Yuan Ji was a widower with a daughter. When he first came to Beijing, he still used a small talent to do the job of moving corpses. Later, he became a widower because of an opportunity...

Xiao Tong'er is also with him all day long, so the villain naturally recognizes him well! "

Except that her personality seems to be more cheerful, nothing else has changed. Zhang Qiao is definitely Yuan Tong'er.

Qu Baiyu looked at Yuan Tong'er. Ten years ago, when he returned to Xishan again, the small courtyard in the back mountain was already empty. Could it be that she was taken away by Yuan Ji at that time?

Yuan Tong'er looked confused. She appeared at the scene of the Li family's murder, and now it was her father who died. He said that she had nothing to do with the case, and even she didn't believe it.

After Zhang Qiao said this, he suddenly started to hesitate again.

Qu Baiyu: "Continue."

Zhang Qiao gritted his teeth and said: "When the villain just did the autopsy, he discovered, discovered..."

"Tell me what you find!"

Liu Luobai also lost patience with his timid appearance and urged.

Zhang Qiao lay down on the ground, "The villain discovered that Yuan Ji... is a rootless person!"

Liu Luobai took a breath of air immediately after hearing this, "Did you see clearly?"

Zhang Qiao said: "You can see this clearly, and it's neat and clean. It should be the palace's technique."

Qu Baiyu lowered his arms involuntarily.

A man with no roots, tricks in the palace, Yuan Ji is actually the eunuch who ran away from the palace?

Is he being killed now because he found out the clues that the murderer was on the bodyguard of the Li family and was killed, or is he killed because he was a eunuch who escaped from the palace?

This is where things get tricky.

Yuan Tong'er's mind went blank. She just found out that Yuan Ji was her father, and then she was told that her father was an eunuch?

Liu Luobai also had a look of shock on his face. What he, a Beijing official, was most afraid of was meeting someone who had something to do with the palace while handling a case.

He looked at Qu Baiyu, only Qu Baiyu could and dared to take care of this matter.

"Your Highness, this..."

Qu Baiyu understood what he meant and replied: "Although this person is a servant in the palace, the reason why he was killed has yet to be verified, so there is no need to alarm the palace for the time being. Combine him with the murder case of the Li family bodyguard. Let’s check the connection between them first.”

Liu Luobai nodded in agreement and led a group of others to investigate the relationship between Yuan Ji and the Li family escort agency.

Qu Baiyu also ordered Cui Xiaoyi to check on the paper-tying shop. Every time the murderer kills someone, he uses a lot of paper to stab people and horses. This is undoubtedly a good starting point.

I don't know when it started snowing again, and it was snowing heavily. Qu Baiyu's carriage was very big, and it was swaying from the suburbs of Beijing to the city.

There was a strong charcoal fire in the car and it was warm. Yuan Tong'er lay on the low table under the soft couch and fell asleep...

"...Jiaojiao..."

……

"...Jiaojiao..."

In the haze, Yuan Tong'er heard someone whispering in her ear. She rubbed her eyes and found that she was in layers of fog.

The surroundings were gray and nothing could be seen clearly. She turned around suddenly, and a green-faced face with fangs and horns suddenly appeared in front of her.

Yuan Tong'er was so frightened that she screamed. If she looked carefully, she saw that it was just a mask.

The man wearing a mask looked like a young man. He stretched out his palm and handed her a lot of unnamed wild fruits.

Yuan Tong'er took it blankly and reached out to take off his mask.

The young man didn't hide and waited obediently for her to take it off.

The mask was slowly taken off, and a familiar but unfamiliar face appeared in front of her, which made her feel warm.

"...Jiaojiao..."

The man shouted and disappeared into the mist in an instant.

Yuan Tong'er felt that he seemed to be calling her. He disappeared, and there was a faint feeling of loss in her heart.

She searched around, trying to find the boy from before.

"...Jiaojiao..."

The voice sounded from behind her again, and Yuan Tong'er turned around with joy.

A face covered with bloodstains instantly appeared in front of her, almost a finger away from her.

"what--"

Yuan Tong'er screamed and hit her forehead directly on the short table. The pain caused her to wake up instantly.

"Having a nightmare?"

Qu Baiyu suddenly asked.

Yuan Tong'er's good attitude made her think that she hadn't woken up yet.

She rubbed her forehead and looked up at him, feeling that he cared about her.

Qu Baiyu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him, and his face immediately turned cold again, "What are you looking at? Are you stunned?"

Yuan Tong'er let out a long breath and felt relieved.

After all, a cruel, cold-blooded person suddenly greeted her with greetings, which always gave her an uneasy feeling.

"I'm asking you something."

Seeing that she seemed to want nothing to do with him, Qu Baiyu's attitude became even worse and he insisted on asking why.

In order to prevent him from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, Yuan Tong'er replied "Yes."

"Hmm what? Did you get knocked unconscious? Or did you have a nightmare? Can't such an old man answer questions?"

Qu Baiyu was very dissatisfied with her perfunctory behavior and became extremely angry when he thought of her wanting to leave.

Yuan Tong'er gritted her teeth and wondered if this person was sick. He always found fault with her. Even a rabbit would kick off an eagle when it was anxious!

"Yes. It was a nightmare and I was knocked unconscious. Is Your Highness satisfied?"

She snorted and continued to lie on the low table, muttering in a low voice: "I'm sick, let's have an autopsy done!"

Qu Baiyu listened to these words and regretted a little when he thought that he really scared her when they were in Yizhuang.

He pursed his lips slightly and softened his tone. "What did you dream about?"

Yuan Tong'er closed her eyes and took a nap, then replied casually, "Ghost... mask."

Qu Baiyu hesitated slightly, and the words "Ghost Mask" made his heart tighten. "You remember?"

Yuan Tong'er was still lying on the table. When he heard this, he remembered that Qu Baiyu seemed to have asked this question many times.

Did he really know the owner of this body?

Seeing that Yuan Tong'er didn't respond, the imperceptible undercurrent in Qu Baiyu's eyes returned to normal.

He sighed and comforted: "That's a Nuo mask, used to ward off disasters and evil spirits. You don't have to be afraid."
