The Qingfeng rice shop turned into ruins and ruins overnight. The head-hunters who received the report searched and walked around at will, but they did not find any clues or clues for a long time.The shopkeeper of the rice shop was not there, and in the ashes of the black soil, there were no other casualties except for one body that was unfortunately burned to death.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

The announcement shocked all the officials and civilians present.The people gathered around to watch the excitement dispersed, and the governor of the capital followed behind Xiang Jing, who didn't dare to say a word because of Xiang Jing's livid face.

Hearing the news brought back by Xing Zheng, Xiang Jing's brows had never been relaxed, but now standing in this unrecognizable place, Xiang Jing's brows tightened even more.

"Prince, only one male corpse has been found so far, and the identity has not been confirmed yet."

After understanding the general situation, Xing Zheng returned to report to Xiang Jing.Xiang Zhi stood straight on the spot, his eyes kept scanning the collapsed beams and tiles of the wall, his heart was full of panic and apprehension that he had never felt before, and the only thing that showed on his face was the uneven knot between his brows.

"Continue to search, continue to search, three days later, I want the truth!"

"Wei Chen obeys."

Xiang Jing personally ordered that no one dare to be negligent and slack, and the search was resumed, and the identification of the corpse became the top priority.

Xiang Jing wanted to be alone for a while, so Xing Zheng stopped following and joined the ranks of finding clues.The case in front of me, if it is said to be major, is nothing special compared with the vicious cases handled by the governor of the capital, but it was actually reported to Xiang Jing who is the prince, and Xiang Jing attaches great importance to it, which makes him The governor of the capital was confused, so he was unavoidably uneasy.

"Master Xing, Lord Xing, please take another step to speak."

The governor of the capital city explained his intentions to Xing Zheng, hoping that Xing Zheng would reveal some of Xiang Jing's thoughts on this case, so that he could play by ear and not hit Xiang Jing's anger.

The governor of the capital is a man who is trustworthy in punishment, and appreciates his style of handling things, so he pointed out the key point, "Master Song, let me tell you, this matter is not as simple as a fire, His Royal Highness is determined to investigate it to the end. If you If you close the case in a muddle, you can imagine the consequences. You don’t need to ask more questions, I don’t know much about the rest.”

With just a few words, Yin of the Capital Prefecture seemed to have obtained a treasure, "I understand, thank you Lord Xing for your reminder."

"Your Highness, my lord, there is something strange here!"

Xiang Jing blinked his eyes before waking up from the sluggish absence, and walked towards the head catcher who exclaimed in surprise.Xing Zheng and the governor of the capital were also on the sidelines, watching the catcher take out a handful of rice from the half-burnt rice bag. Apart from the black ash, there were faintly visible traces of red.

"This is……"

Before the governor of the capital could finish speaking, Xiang Jing opened his eyes wide, leaned over and tore open the half bag of rice, picked up the rice grains inside with both hands, and after a closer look, he was sure, "It's blood. There is definitely more than one person who was killed here. People covered it up on purpose."

Xiang Jing stood up and told all the officers and soldiers to stop walking.Xing Zheng and Xiang Jing stared at the ground that seemed to be a bit wrong, and then looked at the burnt beams and brick walls, suddenly, "Your Highness, the empty ground is as badly burned as the house, it seems that there is something that needs to be deliberately burned something to hide."

Before Xiang Jing could speak, in front of the unquestionable key clues, the governor of the capital vowed, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and resolutely find out the truth!"

The new discovery makes Xiang Jing even more uneasy. Since the incident has already happened, the truth is not that important to Xiang Jing. What she cares about is where Su He, who has suffered all this silently, is now, and whether he is Are you safe?

"Master Xing, you will assist Master Song. Three days later, no matter what, I want an answer."

"I will obey your orders!"

Outside the Qingfeng rice shop, Xiang Jing glanced at the high-hanging signboard, not allowing any guards to follow, turned over and rode "Ru Feng", Xiang Jing began to look for that, and she promised that she would definitely find her original intention.

Xiang Jing's horse disappeared into the crowd, and in an inconspicuous corner of the alley, a beggar stood up tremblingly, holding his broken bowl, begging for food and going to Chen's house, and was invited into the house.

"What?!" Before the tea in his mouth spilled a little, "The young man who helped Qingfeng rice shop is the current prince?!"

"It's absolutely true, even though they are still wearing ordinary clothes, but the officers and soldiers kowtow, and the governor of the capital nods and bows to serve him, there is nothing wrong with that!"

It never occurred to the Su family to have such a big backer, once it is found out, the consequences can be imagined.Chen Zhengxi became anxious, put down the teacup, and walked back and forth.

"Master, in your opinion, do the members of the Su family know the true identity of the prince? If they know, there is no reason why they should not ask for help..."

The person pretending to be a beggar reminded Chen Zhengxi with a word, and immediately calmed down, after thinking about it, he showed a reassuring smile, "The crown prince made a private visit in micro-clothes, but he just fell in love with a girl from a good family. His identity is a mystery, and he has no destiny."

"Sir, what do you mean?"

"In order to protect myself, I must not let the prince find the girl of the Su family, and I have no choice but to kill the weeds." Chen Zhengxi showed a sinister expression, "So what if I escaped without a penny? The girl of the Su family is a filial child. Her father is injured, she will not ignore it, she must not go far, send someone to watch all the medicine shops in the city, if she sees the Su family girl or that cripple, get rid of it immediately!"

"Yes!"

"In addition," Chen Zhengxi leaned back on the old man's chair, "Give the boss a sum of money. I'm afraid the clever and affectionate prince will not let it go. Just in case, when necessary, someone from him will come forward to take the blame. As long as the case is settled, After a long time, the prince will forget about the girl of the Su family, nothing will change, I will still live my stable life and earn my money."

"Rufeng" was stamping on the ground, Xiang Jing on the horse's back, with fine sweat on his forehead, pulled the rein, stopped in front of the bean curd stall, and sighed softly.

"Xiaoer, is our tofu curd ready?"

"Here, you two, use your Douhua slowly."

Xiang Jing blinked, and gripped the rein even tighter.Even though looking down at the people coming and going, Xiang Jing still feels lost and directionless.If you can't see the one and only person, even if you stand at the highest position, it won't be the world Xiang Jing wants.

He'er, where are you?Is God punishing me?Punish my dishonesty, I know I was wrong, but you must not have anything to do, I must get you back intact.I want to protect you, and I want to protect you.

"Hmph... He'er, let's go, He'er..."

"Father, I'm by your side, we're safe." Su He changed the other side of the silk handkerchief and applied it to Shopkeeper Su's forehead, and spoke softly to the unconscious Shopkeeper Su, "We don't need to run away, Dad, get well soon Bar……"

Su He's dress is dirty, his face is stained, and he lives in the straw of the ruined temple, which is nothing.Shopkeeper Su has been suffering from a high fever since last night, and he has been sleeping in a daze, just not waking up, which is what Su He is most worried about.

"Miss, give the shopkeeper some water to drink, and this steamed bun." Ah San carefully took out a white cloth bag, "you can eat, I haven't eaten all night, and I have to take care of the shopkeeper. Can't live."

Looking at Ah San who ran out before dawn, Su He divided the steamed buns into two and handed half over, "You too, have never rested. They haven't chased after them, and they won't be able to find it in a while. Ah San, go back and see the child, just be careful..."

"Miss, Mrs. Huang next door is taking Zhao'er, so don't worry about it. It's the shopkeeper. You should find a doctor to take a look. You can't delay like this. I just went out to inquire about it."

Su He thought about it for a while, and the comatose Shopkeeper Su really made people worry, "Okay, Ah San, you go to Doctor Yu in Sanxiang. He has friendship with my father and should be able to help. Be careful. If something goes wrong, come back immediately."

"Miss, don't worry, I will go and come back quickly."

Ah San is gone, now, Su He can only wait for the news.Bowing his head and hugging shopkeeper Su, Su He had no thoughts except that one person, "Father, I need her very much, will she appear by our side this time?"

"Your Highness, everything has been arranged." Xing Zheng looked at the absent-minded Xiang Jing, and still reminded him, "Your Highness, the palace banquet at noon today is the first practice banquet arranged for King Huli when he returns home in three days. Sudden absence, the emperor and empress will be worried."

"I'm really not in the mood," Xiang Jing frowned, and stood in front of the Qingfeng Rice Shop, "Master Xing, do you know? Right now, at this moment, there may be people who don't even have enough food to satisfy their hunger, and may be hiding, Maybe there is still pain, I really can't temporarily put these things behind me and sit on the high platform of the palace talking and laughing happily."

After a moment of silence, Xing Zheng nodded, "This subordinate understands, and will send someone to send news to the palace to reassure the emperor and empress."

"Your Highness, report to Your Highness that a group of people are making trouble on East Street and fighting with officers and soldiers!"

Without saying a word, Xiang Jing immediately asked the guards to lead the way and rushed over.

The pharmacy Ah San was going to, like all pharmacies in the city, was closely watched by Chen Zhengxi's people, but at the same time, there were guards who had accepted Xiang Jing's order to observe secretly.So when Ah Sanyi appeared, as soon as Chen Zhengxi's people made any movement, the tense atmosphere caused chaos, and the officers, soldiers and guards were mobilized, arresting a few people who were clearly skilled even though they were dressed as civilians.Ah San took advantage of the chaos to escape, but out of the situation, her survival instinct allowed Ah San to hide before she could discern the situation in front of her.Just when Ah San thought she was safe for the time being, and was thinking about how to see Doctor Yu, a figure appeared beside Ah San, catching Ah San who was subconsciously about to escape.
