Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 132 Catch the Thief
"My lord, the boss of the boat who threw the corpse was caught. He explained that it was Zhizhou Wang Ming who dragged the corpse at the bottom of the river to the dug channel when he made them ugly every day. As for the rest of the matter, it has nothing to do with them."

"Are there any today?"

"Yes, they were caught by me when they returned from the river."

"Okay!" Xiao Xuan knocked on the table and stood up, "Tell General Guan that we will catch the thief."

It was not Yinshi when everyone rushed to the river, and it was dark all around. There was a wind lamp in the river emitting a dim yellow light. Under the lamp, several people were struggling to fish things out of the water.Hurrah, the sound of the water spread far away, only a mountain away from Linshui County downstream, these people were confident.

"My lord, do you want to do it now?" Qi Lei squeezed the sharp knife in his hand and asked under his throat.

"Follow them and go to the place where the corpses were dumped to catch them."

What Su Tiange said is correct, he has already decided to take this path, so he can't worry too much.It doesn't have to be as General Guan said, ruthless and merciless, it's time to plan everything.

The corpses in the river were fished ashore and put on an ox cart, piled up in layers, and the ox cart moved forward.

The person who picked up the corpse did not follow, but turned back to the river and walked upstream.

"Take someone to arrest, and I will follow to see where the corpses are thrown."

Qi Lei waved his hand in response, and led his men down the hill to chase after the man who scooped up the corpse.Xiao Xuan frowned and looked at the bullock cart, and led his people to follow it.

The bullock cart stopped all the way to a mountain depression, the driver turned around and untied the rope, and slid down the hillside, pushing a cart of corpses and the cart down together.There was a rumbling or splashing sound of water, and all the corpses and traces were wiped out.

"Stop!" The guards yelled, the coachman turned around and ran forward, and was kicked to the ground by someone who overtook him.

"Go down and see where the car and the corpses fell. Take them back, and ask them to fish up all the corpses at dawn. I want to know who these dead people are and where they came from."

It is not necessary for him to report this matter to the court, but he must let his father know, as well as his elder brother, Xiao Yan.

Back in the tent, Xiao Xuan received a letter from Su Tiange, asking him to return to the capital to do something.

On the official road back to Beijing, in a speeding carriage, Su Xin sat in a state of uneasy mood.She is not afraid of death, but what she is afraid of is not being able to fulfill her master's wish.

She killed those two eloquent people last night, but her passage to the capital was also destroyed.The master was already being watched by the emperor, and he was holding back because he wanted to uproot all the chess pieces.She wants to tell the master the news quickly, but the journey is so long, so long that she can't wait to fly back to the capital with wings.

With a lot of hope and hope, the carriage entered the city gate, "Miss Suxin, someone is checking."

"Hang up the emblem of the Princess Mansion." As soon as the coachman complied, she felt the car turn a corner while sitting in the car, and then the curtain was thrown open.

"Miss Suxin, get out of the car with me."

"Who are you? How dare you block the carriage of the princess mansion!"

"Unfortunately, I have no name and no surname, but I was ordered from Linshui County to invite Miss Suxin to sit down." Qi Lei stared at Suxin to guard against her movements.

"I won't go, what's the matter, I'll talk about it when I go back to the princess mansion."

"Then I'm sorry." After Qi Lei finished speaking, he sprinkled the bottle he had been holding in his hand on Su Xin's face, and a puff of light smoke came out.Qi Lei lowered the curtain and pushed the coachman into the carriage and drove into the city gate.

"Master, Miss Suxin hasn't come back yet."

"Have you found it?"

"The secret road in Linshui County was destroyed by someone. I found traces of Yiyantang in the city before. My servant guessed that they took Suxin away. Master, do you want to..." The person outside the gauze curtain raised his hand and did A beheading action.

"No, Su Xin has been with me for so long and naturally knows what to say and what not to say. She is already understanding the line that cuts off Su Xin."

"Yes, master." The gauze curtain floated, and people's hearts were too cold.

After receiving Xiao Hei from Xiao Xuan, Su Tiange prepared a medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the main streets of the city in accordance with the prescriptions given by the Imperial Physician Chang. The subsequent disposal of the corpses and the reconstruction of the city were beyond her control. .

When the city gate was opened, it was the first time that Su Tiange saw General Guan. This man was just like what she had heard before, his killing spirit was too heavy and his face was cold and ruthless.

"Miss Su." Seeing Su Tiange's heartfelt happiness, Xiao Xuan felt a little self-blame at the same time, "I feel deeply guilty for letting you take risks alone."

"My lord is serious. The epidemic in the city has been basically brought under control. We just need to let Physician Chang bring people to see the doctor on a daily basis."

"I'll send someone to escort you back to Beijing."

On the way back to Beijing.Ai Hu whispered to her what had happened in the past few days, and his impression of General Guan.

Killing several of Xiao Xuan's personal soldiers at once, this General Guan is really worthy of his stern and selfless face.It would be great if Xiao Xuan could make good use of the card of General Guan, but I was afraid that General Guan's heavy killing would arouse Xiao Xuan's disgust.

After returning to Beijing, the reward that King Yan originally received for his timely disaster relief turned into a mockery because of a memorial to the general stationed at Dayingguan in the capital.

The memorial stated that Zhizhou Wang Min excavated the river privately, which caused serious disasters in Linshui County downstream.After the epidemic was discovered, the corpses were transferred downstream, which caused the epidemic in Linshui County to become more and more serious. Zhan Wang Xiaoxuan is still in Linshui County, directing the resettlement of victims such as urban reconstruction.

The damn Zhizhou Wang Ming was really beheaded by the emperor's decree. Naturally, King Yan, who had already been rewarded, could not take back his order, so he had to give King Zhan a more grand reward.

After receiving the news, Xiao Yan was quite different, not because he had any regrets about Wang Ming's death.What surprised him was that Guan Rong would actually speak for Xiao Xuan, and hoped that he would speak up just because he couldn't see Wang Ming's evil deeds, otherwise it would really be a serious problem for his confidant.

"My lord, my subordinates have received news that Yiyantang has been dispatched frequently recently and went to Linshui County a few days ago."

"What?" Xiao Xuan just wondered if something major had happened recently, and why he had only left Beijing for a few days, so many things happened that he had no time to deal with.

First, Li Yushi was given a performance by the admiral of the Nine Gates and then dismissed and investigated. Later, Guan Rong spoke for Xiao Xuan, and now even Yiyantang, who had been dormant for a long time, was mobilized.

"Furthermore, it is said that two people died in Yiyantang, and a group of rebels who wanted to make trouble were found out. Moreover, the rebellion was directed at the eldest princess."

"Aunt? Are you sure it's not Lian Qiuming and Mr. Ruyi? I don't believe Mr. Ruyi, that old fox, would die so easily. After all, it's not like the Mr. Ruyi I know."

"Whether this matter has anything to do with Lian Qiuming, I don't know, but it must be related to the eldest princess. Her personal maid was taken away from the gate of the city." Xiao Yan frowned and stood up, walked to the gate and looked at the sky. , this mother and son are really ready to turn the world upside down!
