Shen Jingcheng saw that Qin Ji was silent and didn't know what he was thinking, so he bowed and saluted him again.

"If the lord has nothing else to do, then I will go back with my wife, sister and brother-in-law first. My family has witnessed the fall into the water with their own eyes. If they don't go back, they don't know what to worry about."

"You can do whatever you want." Qin Jixian regained his composure slightly, took another deep look at Gu Xiu and Fu Yu, and turned back to leave.

Shen Jingcheng waited for Qin Jixian to walk away, then he turned his head and said to Fu Yu who was still standing there, "Go on your back."

"Ah?" Fu Yu was taken aback by what he said.

"Little sister's feet are like that, do you still want her to go away by herself? When will I be able to return home?" Shen Jingcheng blinked at him as he spoke, and glanced in the direction Qin Jixian left from the corner of his eye.

Fu Yu suddenly understood what was going on, and quickly squatted down in front of Gu Xiu.

"I'll carry you, if you don't go back, sister will be worried." Gu Xiu didn't know what kind of lawsuit the two were fighting, so she obediently laid down on Fu Yu's back and asked him to carry her.

When the three of them were striding towards the west, Qin Jixian, who had already walked a certain distance, stopped slowly, looked back at the backs of the three of them, thoughtfully.

For some reason, he always felt that these people seemed to be hiding something from him.

But before today, apart from Shen Jingcheng, he had almost never heard of or seen anything about the other two, so what is something worth hiding from him?

Qin Jixian thought hard to no avail, and finally returned to his original doubts.

In fact, if he hadn't had skin-to-skin contact with Gu Linger a few days ago and had more and more contact with her, he would not be so sensitive to that girl's voice today, and would not have discovered this problem.

Yes, now Qin Jixian and Gu Linger already have a physical relationship, but it's a bit oolong to talk about it.

Just a few days ago, Qin Jixian patrolled the river for a day, and it was already late when he returned home. He was very tired that day, so he didn't really want to take a bath, so he asked his followers who had been with him all day to go back to the room and go to rest.

Because he was tired, he didn't bother to light the lamp, so when he lay on the bed and found a fragrant body beside him, he thought it was because he was too busy these days, and the concubine Ji in the backyard came to wait for him unwillingly, so he didn't hesitate. Pressed up hesitantly.

He is a normal man, and he was a normal man who was married before. After his wife died of illness, he didn't want to marry again, so he placed a pleasing concubine in the backyard. Kang's only concubine Ji.

However, when he got into the body of the woman beside him, a scream almost didn't scare him away.

It was because the woman's voice was not the voice of his concubine Ji at all.

In a hurry, Qin Jixian held the lamp and saw that the person on the kang was Gu Ling'er, so he couldn't even turn his head.

At that time, he asked Gu Linger why she was in his room, and Gu Linger cried and said that she wanted to come to him to change her job, because her backache and backache from sweeping the floor were unbearable.But he was always away from home every day, and Gu Linger couldn't find him, so she waited in his room for him to come back. Tired of waiting, she wanted to warm up on the kang and rest, but this happened to her.

At that time, Qin Jixian felt dizzy when he heard it, and when he turned around, he punished the housekeeper heavily. Can anyone just enter his room?Can anyone come up to rest on his kang?

But things have already happened. After all, Gu Linger is a woman from a good family. In addition, he thinks that Gu Linger has some kindness with him, so he can't send someone casually, so he bites the bullet and writes a letter to the old emperor, asking to seal Gu Linger. As a concubine, and just the day before yesterday, the old emperor's reply letter also came, just one word - 'accurate'.

To be honest, he was not disappointed when he received the reply from the old emperor.

He knew that he was dispensable to the old emperor, but he didn't expect it to be so dispensable. Even if he wanted to marry a grass-roots daughter as his concubine, the old emperor didn't care.

But for the old emperor's disregard, although Qin Jixian felt aggrieved, it was not unbearable. After all, thunder, rain and dew were all the favor of the king, and his mother and concubine were still in the palace, so he had to endure it even for his mother's concubine.

However, the old emperor didn't care about him, he didn't care, he was the one who was in charge of the life and death of him and his concubine, but it was absolutely impossible for others to treat him like a monkey.

With a sullen face, Qin Ji returned to the temporary tent on the embankment, changed into ordinary clothes, and took Qin Weibing to Qingshan County, Qingzhou Prefecture.

When he found Shenjia Village in the evening, looked at the seemingly familiar shopping street, and found the place where he had been lying, his eyes immediately became extremely dark.

It's... really here.

Qin Jixian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and told Qin Weibing beside him: "Go and find out if there is anyone named Gu Ling'er in this village, and then find out about Shen Jingcheng's wife and sister."

"Yes." The guards took the order and left, and didn't come back until it was dark for a long time.

"Master, there is no one named Gu Ling'er in this village. The wife and sister of the magistrate of Shen County are surnamed Gu, named Gu Xiu, and her sister, the wife of the magistrate of Shen County, is named Gu Jin. The people here are almost all from the magistrate of Shen County eight years ago. Refugees brought from Shimu Village, Dongjin County, Jishui Prefecture. In the past eight years, the Shen family has never had any relatives visit, including Mrs. Shen's family."

Without Gu Linger, Shen Jingcheng's wife and sister-in-law are also named Gu?
Listening to the report from the guards, Qin Jixian was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Go to Shimu Village, Dongjin County."

The same surname is Gu, and the similar voice, even if there has never been such a person as Gu Linger in Shenjia Village, he still thinks it is too coincidental to have such a similar voice.

What's more, he always felt that the woman named Gu Xiu seemed somewhat similar to Gu Ling'er.

In the dark, Qin Jixian rushed to Shimu Village with a group of personal guards. When they arrived at Shimu Village, it was already daylight, and the people in Shimu Village had already started to work in the fields.

"Uncle, is there a person named Gu Ling'er in your village?"

"Gu Linger? Uh... yes, yes, but she fell into the river last spring and drowned. What do you want her for?"

"Huh? Drowned?"

"That's right, after the daughter drowned, her father gave her a shady marriage at that time, and she didn't even take the body home. After a few days, her father moved away with the whole family. Toss and break her father's heart..."

Qin Jixian stood on the ground and listened to the conversation between the guard and the man in the field, his heart sank little by little, until the guard had finished asking, Qin Jixian suddenly asked: "I wonder if you remember when Gu Linger was?" dead?"

"Uh..., what about this..." The person who was asked by Qin Jixian frowned and tried to remember, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember the specific date. Just when he was about to say that he forgot, he was interrupted by a gloomy voice.

"February 26."

Qin Jixian heard the sound and looked over, and saw a man covered in dirt, sitting on the ground and looking at him with dark eyes. He was holding a shovel head in his hand. Turning over.

Seeing him looking over, the man raised his head and repeated: "The day Gu Linger died was February 26."
