Chapter 204 That Man Seems to Have a Sister!
He handed the things in his hand to Bai Jingyuan, Bai Jingyuan looked at it with a frown, and said after a while: "Present Huang's testimony."

"Yes!"

At this time, there was a sound of reining in the horse.

Bai Li turned his head and saw the familiar master and servant stopped on the road, "Miss, the young master is also here."

Bai Xianyu was a little surprised, she came here because Hai Shi had brought her here before, so starting from here would save some effort, what did Xie Xingyun come here for?
Xie Xingyun was also a little surprised, got off the horse, and walked towards the stunned girl.

"Why did you come here?" Bai Xianyu took a few steps towards him, "Is something wrong with Hai's?"

Xie Xingyun shook his head, first shook her hand, and the warm touch came, and his frowning brows relaxed a little, "It's hard to explain, why are you here?"

Bai Xianyu didn't hide it from Xie Xingyun, and told him everything she did here.

Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows, and his thin lips curled up a little, "Do you think Hai's actually..."

"Yeah." Bai Xianyu nodded, "I have asked Luzhu to go back to find the evidence, it doesn't matter if it is destroyed."

Xie Xingyun rubbed her hair, and praised without hesitation: "Xiao Yu'er thought of going with me."

Bai Li stood there with an inexplicable expression on his face. The lady didn't seem to say anything else, did she?He followed the lady all the way here, and he didn't understand what the lady was looking for. The two met each other like a riddle, and thought of going together?
Bai Xianyu looked at Xie Xingyun, the temperature of the hand held by him was much higher, she couldn't help but clenched it tighter.

"I came here for a case." Xie Xingyun said concisely, "Maybe it has something to do with Jiang Huaiyu."

The wind by the river gradually heated up, and Bai Xianyu broke out in a little sweat, "What case?"

"A shipwreck eight years ago." Xie Xingyun paused for two seconds, his tone calm: "I suspect that he donated [-] public funds in batches, and among the private donations registered by the government in recent years, the one that received the most donations It is this fishing village, among the cases that Jiang Huaiyu handled in the early years, it happened to be related to this place."

Whenever there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, not only the government will provide disaster relief supplies, but also some private merchants will buy some rice grains for the people out of their own pockets. There are laws and regulations, and the donations of these private merchants must also be registered in the register to avoid corrupt officials. Corrupt officials profit from it.

As a place where floods frequently occur, Liangzhou has received countless donations, not only from Liangzhou itself, but also from other counties and counties. There are so many donations. It will take some time to send someone to count. It's only been two or three days since Jiang Huaiyu's death. Could it be that Xie Xingyun sent people to investigate on the first day?

Bai Xianyu admired his sensitivity, but the shipwreck case seemed not special, and even experienced fishermen could not guarantee that they would come back safely every time.

As if seeing Bai Xianyu's doubts, the man then added: "The man who died was a young man. He was judged to be a shipwreck when the case was judged, and it is still hanging in the balance. A woman defended him, saying that he was killed by others." .”

Bai Xian's eyebrows twitched, "Which one?"

"There is no exact name, but there is a brief surname." Xie Xingyun looked at the sparkling water, "Huang."

Bai Xianyu was startled.

"That's why I'm here." Xie Xingyun glanced at the fishing boat moored on the water, and finally said: "They may know more details."

……

"Young master, there is news!"

Inside the pavilion, Xie Xingyun slightly opened his eyes, the sky was a little dark, and they had been waiting here for several hours.

Xiao Zheng explained: "My lord, it's been a long time, and many people can't remember it anymore. I asked them to search this area, and only one family said they had a little impression."

Xie Xingyun nodded, and exchanged a glance with Bai Xianyu, "Lead the way."

The guards took them to a dilapidated fishing boat, which was the house that was having breakfast facing Bai Xianyu.

The fisherwoman laughed twice, motioning for them to sit down, "Several officials sit down."

Xie Xingyun didn't sit down, Xiao Zheng stepped forward and asked: "Is that what you heard about eight years ago?"

"Hush!" The girl with shofar braids made a scary expression, and said in an exaggerated and soft tone: "The water god empress can hear you so loudly!"

The fisherman also came out, and he drove the girl in together with the boy who watched the fun, "Every child knows anything, go in."

After finishing speaking, he bent over to several people, "My lords, it's us."

Bai Xianyu asked curiously, "Is the Water Goddess she mentioned a deity in this area?"

The fisherman nodded, "As the saying goes, you can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea, and rely on the soil to eat the soil. If you rely on the mountains, you will believe in the gods of the mountains. If you rely on the soil, you will believe in the gods of the land. We can believe in whatever gods can bless us, like ours. They are all ordinary people who rely on fishing for their livelihood, so naturally they all believe in the water god, and every time they go out to sea, regardless of men, women, or children, they must respect the water god and empress before going out."

Bai Li frowned, "I don't speak strangely, if there really is a water god, why do so many people die every year due to waterlogging?"

The fisherman disapproved: "I'd rather believe it than believe it. The incident you mentioned is also related to the water god. It's very mysterious!"

Xie Xingyun frowned, Bai Xianyu glanced at the wide waters, "Why is it so mysterious?"

"The Goddess of Water is a woman, and she uses feminine power. It doesn't matter if a man fishes, but the pearls in the bottom of the sea are melted by the tears of the empress. If a man picks them, it will be disrespectful and will definitely cause empress dissatisfaction. Men don’t live long, and the longest I’ve ever seen was less than 30 years old! If you don’t believe me, you can ask other people, if the family is really desperate, they won’t let their men do this job.”

"In the past, there were people who didn't believe in evil. I remember that it was exactly eight years ago, maybe a little earlier, a young man was chosen to fish for pearls. No matter how deep the oysters were hidden, he could find a lot every time! And All of them are clams that have produced good pearls, I heard that they touched 310 pearls in one year!"

Xie Xingyun raised his eyes slightly, "What's your name?"

The fisherman was a little excited, and the expression on his face turned into panic as he spoke. He knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground, and whispered, "Huang, his name is Huang Ziqi!"

Bai Xianyu stared into his eyes, "Does he have any other relatives?"

The fisherman pondered for a long time. People like them, who have saved enough money to buy land and do other livelihoods, are better than eating and sleeping here to make a living. Eight years are not long or short, and there are many insiders After leaving here, maybe the rest of their family will understand why.

"It seems that there is another younger sister named..." He tapped his head, "It seems to be called something, Qishan."
