Being comforted by Hwarang, Xiang Xi calmed down a lot.

After thinking about this for a while, he suddenly said: "Yesterday, when my father left home, there was nothing unusual, but before he often said that someone was going to kill him, and we would hide from people when we saw him. We just thought he was joking, so we didn't." Why do you care, after all, we really can't figure out who would want to kill my father."

As Xiang Xi said this, he quickly added: "It was said that someone was going to kill him. That happened after my father had a problem with his head. It wasn't like this when he was sober before."

After listening to Xiang Xi's words, Hwarang nodded slightly to express his understanding, and then asked, "Then when did your father lose his head?"

Xiang Xi thought for a while, and said: "Probably this summer, he went out to play that day, and when he got home, he babbled nonsense, and we couldn't understand what he said. Since then, his mind has been out of order , because of this matter, let us have a headache."

"So do you know where he went that day?"

"I don't know. Originally we wanted to ask my father to find out the root cause, but when we asked my father, he couldn't tell the reason. We went to the village to ask, but he didn't find anything. In the end, we just let it go. "

After Xiang Xi couldn't find anything, Hua Lang gave Bao Zheng a wink. After Bao Zheng understood, he said to Xiang Xi: "Because your father was murdered, you can't take the body away for the time being. You can go back first, after we discuss it, we will go back to your village to investigate clearly."

Xiang Xi naturally understood what Bao Zheng said, so he didn't say anything else. He just asked Bao Zheng to find the murderer as soon as possible to avenge his father, and then he left the mansion directly. When he left the mansion, his expression was still sad .

After Xiang Xi left, Hwarang immediately asked the servants to follow him quietly.

Seeing Hua Lang like this, Bao Zheng was a little puzzled, and asked, "Brother Hua suspects that he is the murderer?"

Hua Lang frowned slightly, and said with a light smile, "It's not that I doubt it, but I just feel that he didn't tell the truth about some things."

"Oh, those things?"

Hwarang shrugged: "I don't know the specifics, but don't you find it strange that Xiang Xi said that his family was of a middle-class family, but when we look at the clothes on the deceased, they seem to be very simple and have nothing to do with Xiang Xi's." Fabi."

When Hwarang mentioned this, everyone immediately realized that it was true.

But at this time, Gongsun Ce quickly explained: "Could it be that the murderer took off the clothes of the deceased?"

"But the clothes on the deceased's body are not rare, and after Xiang Xi saw his father, he was not surprised and said that the clothes had changed."

When Hwarang said this, everyone had no choice but to nod, believing that Xiang Xi had indeed concealed something from everyone.

At this time, Bao Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "If you want to know what Xiang Xi is hiding from us, we can go directly to Xiangjiazhuang, and stay here, what can we know?"

This is indeed a truth, but Hua Lang smiled: "If a large group of us follow, what can we know, let's talk about it after the yamen servant returns."

Winter is very cold, especially after noon, when the snow starts to melt and the temperature drops even lower.

The cold wind was blowing, and everyone was anxious in the government office.

After waiting like this for about two hours, the yamen servant finally rushed back. When he came back, the tip of his nose was reddish, his lips were purple from cold, and his teeth were chattering constantly.

After entering the living room to warm up for a while, the yamen servant hurriedly said: "I followed that Xiang Xi according to the order of the playboy. After he came home, I heard the sound of his conversation with his wife. It turns out that his wife is very annoying. Xiang Dang, has been trying to sweep him out of the house."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and angry. From ancient times to the present, filial piety has always been the rule, but Xiang Xi's wife wanted to drive Xiang Dang out of the house, which is simply outrageous.

At this time, the yamen servant continued: "Because this party is a scholar, when its head was sober, it could teach in private schools to earn some money for the family, but since its head problem, it has been unable to do anything. , not only can't do anything, but also makes noise all day long, causing trouble to the neighbors. The wife of Xiang Xi couldn't stand seeing her father-in-law like this, and tried several times to persuade Xiang Xi to throw Xiang Dang outside and let him go. Fend for itself, and that Xiang Xi is also a henpecked master, caught between his wife and moral ethics, lingering on his last breath."

After the yamen servant said this, everyone understood Xiang Xi's affairs better, and after understanding this, everyone couldn't help wondering whether this party was caused by Xiang Xi and his wife.

Bao Zheng valued filial piety the most, and when he heard the words of the yamen servant, he was furious immediately, and said: "This couple actually disregarded any family ties, come here, bring them here, the government must teach them a lesson today. Let them do something to warn the world."

When Bao Zheng yelled, those yamen servants wanted to act immediately, but at this moment, Hua Lang suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Bao, don't worry, everything has not been investigated yet, so you should give moral lessons first. Well, I think it's better to wait until the murder case is clearly investigated, and then it's not too late to teach Xiang Xi and his wife a lesson, otherwise if you teach me a lesson, if they refuse to tell us the truth, then we will be in trouble!"

Just now Bao Zheng wanted to send someone to teach Xiang Xi and his wife a lesson because of a moment of anger. Now that he heard Hua Lang's words, he would not be so reckless anymore. He just asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"Take all the people and go to Xiangjiazhuang until the murderer is found!"

"Do you think the murderer is in Xiangjiazhuang?"

"That's right, for an old man like Xiang Dang, will he offend anyone in the capital? I think the root of the matter must be in Xiangjiazhuang. Last night, the murderer must have followed Xiang Dang into the city, and then he was on the deserted street. The one who killed Xiang Dang."

Now that Hua Lang has said that, Bao Zheng didn't ask any more questions, and after directly picking up his men and horses, he led them straight to Xiangjiazhuang.

Everyone got out of the capital, and after about an hour's journey, they arrived at Xiangjiazhuang. At this time, Xiangjiazhuang was covered with a piece of snow, and because it was before evening, the afterglow of the sun shone on the village, giving people An indescribable sense of tranquility came.

But when everyone thought that there was a murderer in such a peaceful Zhuangzi, the feeling of tranquility suddenly disappeared.

At this time, everyone found that there was a village not far from Xiangjiazhuang, which was the same as Xiangjiazhuang, but they didn't know it very well before.
