Chapter 286 The footprints are broken
Song Shiyun was upset. When Magistrate Xu, Wang Xuan and others heard this, they all looked at Song Shiyun.

Song Shiyun could only bite the bullet, raised his hand, held his forehead and said, "I may have traveled all the way and sat in the carriage for a long time, so I feel a little suffocated now."

Xie Rugu naturally saw Song Shiyun's embarrassment. He smiled silently and turned to Magistrate Xu and Wang Xuan and asked, "She is not feeling well. I will accompany her to get some fresh air."

Immediately, he said to Zhenren Zhou: "Zhenzhen Zhou, please go and check carefully with the head of the Wang family, the magistrate of Xu County. Shi Yun and I will rush over later."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhenzhen realized what he was saying. He laughed dryly and said, "That's fine, that's fine. Second young lady, let's take a rest first."

Immediately afterwards, he invited Wang Xuan and Magistrate Xu, "Master Wang, Magistrate Xu, let's go."

Wang Xuan and Magistrate Xu nodded in unison.

At the same time, Xie Rugu approached Song Shiyun and held her arm very considerately, "Let's go, let's go to the hillside to get some fresh air."

Song Shiyun was silent for a moment, leaning stiffly in his arms, but did not break away, and said obediently: "Okay."

She looked weak and frowned in discomfort. In addition, her face was already a little pale, and now she looked like she was really uncomfortable.

Xie Rugu supported her and left in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhenren, County Magistrate Wang Xuanxu and others also set out towards their goals.

Turning around, County Magistrate Xu stroked his beard and said with a hint of ridicule: "A little girl is a little girl. She can't bear to be a little tired. It's only a long way to go, and she won't feel comfortable."

When Master Zhou heard this, the smile on his face faded.

Before he could speak, Wang Xuan also said, "I looked at that young lady, she is indeed a little weak. Master Zhou really shouldn't have brought her here. It would be even worse if she was tired and sick."

Master Zhou frowned and glanced at them both coldly, "What do you know!"

When Wang Xuan heard what he said, he was a little confused and said: "Why does Mr. Zhou defend that young lady so much? Is it possible that her status is very valuable?"

Hearing this, Zhenren Zhou said directly: "She is the second young lady of Pingninghou Mansion, what do you think?"

Wang Xuan paused.

I really didn't expect that Song Shiyun was from Pingninghou Mansion.

He is not in the capital and doesn't know much about the situation in the capital, but since she is the young lady of Pingninghou Mansion, her status is indeed different from that of a commoner.

However, she is just a young lady from Pingninghou Mansion, so she should not be treated with such respect and favor by Master Zhou.

A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Xuan's heart, "Is this young lady very powerful?"

Zhou Zhenren didn't know how to explain to them for a while.

Originally I wanted to talk about Song Shiyun's great achievements in the capital.

But thinking about what Xie Ru had told him before, let him be careful.

Master Zhou swallowed back the words that came to his lips, glared at them both, and said, "I can't tell you, so hurry up and get to work!"

After he finished speaking, he strode forward alone and proudly.

He looked like he was too lazy to talk to them.

Magistrate Xu didn't understand, "What's so great about a yellow-haired girl? I think it's just that the prince prefers the second young lady."

When Wang Xuan heard this, he also remembered that Duan Yunxian seemed to be very kind to the second lady.

During the dinner, he had been taking care of Song Shiyun.

It seems that there must be something fishy between the two of them.

If so...

It makes sense.

There is a huge difference between Dingguo Gongfu and Ping Ninghou.

Xie Ru is also a nominal disciple of Tianji Sect, so it is possible for Master Zhou to invite him over.

For Xie Rugu's sake, it didn't seem impossible to be polite to Song Shiyun.

However, Wang Xuan always felt something was strange.

County Magistrate Xu didn't see what Wang Xuan was thinking at all, and still said with a clear face: "But bringing a little girl is troublesome, and it will slow down the trip at every turn. I don't know what the use of bringing a little girl is. .”

Wang Xuan did not agree with this.

He subconsciously looked back.

However, they saw that the figures of Song Shiyun and Xie Ru had already disappeared from their sight, and they didn't know where they went.

at the same time.

As soon as Xie Rugu and Song Shiyun left everyone's sight, Song Shiyun's expression returned to normal.

She glanced back to make sure that Zhenren Zhou and others could no longer see them. Only then did Song Shiyun let go of Xie Rugu's hand and said, "That's it."

Hearing this, Xie Rugu blinked, "Isn't the second sister feeling uncomfortable?"

Song Shiyun: "..."

She said helplessly: "Xie Ruji, it's not like you don't know what I want to do." Xie Ruji looked confused, "I don't know."

Song Shiyun was so angry that he pinched him.

Xie Ru was not angry after being hit, but smiled and said: "I know, don't be angry."

Song Shiyun then let go of his hand and regained his composure, "Let's take a look around first."

Xie Rugu nodded very obediently.

Seeing this, Song Shiyun opened his mouth, wanting to say something to him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

She could only walk silently into the forest.

Xie Ru followed her as usual, "Why doesn't the second sister investigate with them?"

Song Shiyun thought for a moment. Although she knew that her next words might misunderstand Xie Rugu, she still said directly: "I don't believe them."

When Xie Rugu heard this, he hit the snake and followed it up with the stick. He suddenly smiled and said, "So, does the second sister only trust me?"

Song Shiyun glanced at him and hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't want to admit it, he nodded.

Xie Rugu's eyebrows lit up.

Before he could speak, Song Shiyun quickly tilted his head and urged: "Okay, get down to business quickly."

After speaking, she quickly walked forward.

Xie Rugu was not given a chance to speak at all.

Xie Ru also knew that this cat didn't tolerate teasing, so he didn't say anything to prevent her hair from exploding.

Just following Song Shiyun.

Recalling what Song Shiyun said just now, Xie Rugu couldn't help but curl his lips.

Song Shiyun's words just now were indeed not meant to deceive Xie Ruru.

Among these people, she still trusts Xie Rugu.

As for the others, Song Shiyun had some grudges more or less.

This matter on Huainan Road may be extremely involved.

Song Shiyun still didn't want others to interfere.

If you investigate a case with others, your hands are always tied up.

If there is really a problem among them, it will be easily exposed if they find out anything.

Song Shiyun wanted to check it out privately.

Just now she originally wanted to ask Master Zhou for a favor.

However, Master Zhou's reaction was too slow.

It was Xie Ru who understood her better.

Song Shiyun thought about this, glanced at Xie Rugu beside him, and immediately put down those messy thoughts.

Zhou Zhenren and others should still be looking for him on the official road.

Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu first searched for them in the mountains and forests.

After searching along the road for a while, Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu indeed saw the large number of footprints that Wang Xuan had mentioned in the mountains and forests.

Song Shiyun and Xie Ru were squatting in front of the footprints.

Xie Rugu gestured with the size of the footprints with his hand, "They are not the size of normal human or animal feet."

Song Shiyun looked at the semicircular footprints with blurry front ends and frowned, "Is there a possibility that these are not footprints at all?"

Hearing the words, Xie Rugu did not answer immediately. He stood up and measured it with his own pace, "Look at the stride length. It is larger than that of an ordinary man, and it is very regular. If it were not a footprint, what could be formed?" I don’t know the imprint of this pattern.”

Song Shiyun touched his chin and stared at the footprints.

Xie Rugu was right.

Moreover, Song Shiyun looked carefully and could not see any traces of familiarity on these marks.

If it wasn't a footprint, what could have caused such a mark?
Song Shiyun still saw the blood stains that Wang Xuan had mentioned in one of the footprints.

She stretched out her hand, twisted a little with her fingers, and put it under her nose to smell it. The rotting smell was indeed the same as the smell on the corpses.

Song Shiyun raised his head, followed the footprints, and looked ahead.

Probably when we reached the mountain road on the other side of the forest, those footprints disappeared.

Xie Rugu had been following Song Shiyun, and when he saw her stopping there, he said, "The footprints are broken here."
