Chapter 15 The crime scene 1
Xiao Yichen couldn't help frowning at Liu Zifeng's words, his eyes unconsciously fell on the face of the little girl beside him.

Could it be that the death of Wang Mang, whom he had never seen before, was actually related to the strange events of last night?

Xiao Yichen kept thinking about this person named Wang Mang. He was sure that he had never heard of this person's name. In addition, the servants of Xiao's mansion didn't like to deal with outsiders, and they always did their own work.

Liu Zifeng was anxious, but he didn't urge him.

It's just that Xiao Yichen's eyes fell on a strange little girl, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Master Liu, don't worry, since my Xiao family is involved in this case, I will definitely cooperate."

Xiao Yichen withdrew his gaze and calmed down his emotions together.

No matter how this has been involved with last night, he must come forward to deal with it.

"I can go to the murder scene with my lord now, but Qing Tian needs to go with me."

Liu Zifeng was slightly taken aback, and began to warn: "Young master, the scene of this murder is horrific and bloody, and children can't bear it. It's not right."

Although he didn't know the relationship between the little girl and the Xiao family, but as an adult, Liu Zifeng never wanted the child to suffer inexplicable harm, no matter mentally or physically.

Just listening to Liu Zifeng's word-for-word description, Xiao Yichen could imagine the eerie and tragic scene of the crime.

If he hadn't seen and experienced what happened last night with his own eyes, he would never have let his niece go to that filthy place.

"Master Liu, my child came to Fengcheng alone yesterday. You also saw that she is weak and weak, and she is very close to me and clings to me."

With that said, Xiao Yichen hugged Su Qingtian in his arms.

"If I don't take her with me, I won't worry about leaving her alone in the mansion. When the time comes, I'll cry until I have convulsions and a high fever. I can't help but feel guilty."

Su Qingtian felt a little sleepy after eating, and was hugged by Xiao Yichen, she simply crawled into his arms, lay on the man's shoulder and dozed off.

Liu Zifeng saw that the two had a close relationship, and the little girl was indeed very thin, so he stopped persuading and nodded in agreement.

Ordering his servants to harness the carriage, Xiao Yichen walked out of the gate of Xiao Mansion with Su Qingtian and Liu Zifeng in his arms.

Outside the gate, many people had gathered at this time.

Although Fengcheng is located in the frontier, there are few incidents of murder and robbery, and most of them are civilians who died in the war.

Now not only such a strange thing happened in the city, but it also involved the Xiao family, which made the common people discuss a lot, and all kinds of rumors spread in the city at once.

There were quite a few good people, but they didn't dare to blatantly watch in front of the gate of the Xiao Mansion, so they could only pretend to be shopping and wandering around the Xiao Mansion.

It's just that those gazes that float over from time to time make Xiao Yichen feel uncomfortable.

Some of the brave ones gathered at the side and whispered to each other, and the voices of discussions seemed to pass into Xiao Yichen's ears.

Rumors will not disappear as long as there are people.

Xiao Yichen didn't intend to pay attention to it, the Xiao family had already suffered too much criticism, so he wasn't afraid of adding this one.

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Xiao Yichen took Su Qingtian into the carriage, and Liu Zifeng also went up behind them.

After driving unsteadily for a while, Liu Zifeng opened his mouth slowly.

"This case happened too strangely. Before Wang Mang's wife reported to the police, she screamed because of her fear, and the neighbors went over to check."

This is why the case discovered this morning was spread all over the city before noon.

"Young master, I believe you have heard the rumors in Fengcheng these years." Liu Zifeng paused, lowered his voice, and said softly, "Most of these dark rumors are about the disaster star of the Xiao family coming to the world, restraining others and self. country."

"Originally, under the leadership of Old General Xiao, Fengcheng was stable and peaceful, and the people naturally did not believe such rumors, but once this case comes out today, I am afraid that some old things will be brought up again."

Xiao Yichen listened to Liu Zifeng's faint words, the corners of his mouth curled into a straight line.

He understood Liu Zifeng's worries about the Xiao family, but even a county magistrate could not influence the people's thoughts.

The reason why he specially invited himself to the scene of the murder was because Liu Zifeng wanted to remove the Xiao family from the list of suspects.

However, there are too many people who secretly want something to happen to the Xiao family.

this time……

I'm afraid it's not something that can be solved as easily as Liu Zifeng thought.

Just when Xiao Yichen was thinking more and more entangled, a pair of soft little hands touched the back of his tight hands, and immediately let the man relax his clenched fists.

"Uncle, are you worried about other things?"

Su Qingtian leaned on the man, yawned, turned her head and covered her mouth with her little hand and sneakily said, "As long as my little uncle buys Qingtian something delicious, this matter will definitely go through smoothly."

The little girl thought she was speaking lightly, but Liu Zifeng at the side listened clearly.

He couldn't help but look at the cute little girl, and felt that the little baby who suddenly appeared in the Xiao family was really interesting.

While appeasing others, don't forget to be busy with food.

Xiao Yichen was amused by the gluttonous Su Qingtian, it's only after breakfast, the little girl is greedy again thinking of something delicious?
He smiled, stretched out his hand to rub Su Qingtian's little head, felt that it was not enough after rubbing, so he tugged on the two little buds again.

"Xiao Qingtian is so cute and caring, my little uncle will buy you whatever you want."

"Really!"

With Xiao Yichen's promise, Su Qingtian smiled brightly, with a pair of shallow dimples on her face.

She will ask her little uncle to buy more food for a while, so as not to faint outside from hunger, that would be too shameful.

Just thinking about what to buy later, the carriage suddenly stopped slowly, but the driver did not speak. It seems that the carriage was stopped by the crowd outside.

The noisy sound outside made Liu Zifeng frowned, so he opened the curtain first and got out.

In front of you is Dongfang City in Fengcheng, which is not only the most concentrated place of shops in Fengcheng, but also the main area for business transactions of other countries and tribes.

This place can be regarded as the most important and prosperous trade street in Fengcheng.

The deceased, Wang Mang, lived on Southwest Street in Dongfang City, which was not far from the vegetable market, where he sold pork at a stall on weekdays.

It was precisely because of the surging crowd here that within an hour after the murder case was discovered, the people of the entire Dongfang City knew the specific deceased and the weird scene of the murder case.

When there are many people, there will be many tongues.

The direction of speculation is also developing in an uncontrollable direction.

At this time, the people who blocked the road were the people who came to join in the fun. They were gathering in front of them and stretched out their necks to look in the direction of Wang Mang's house. Most of the noisy voices were all kinds of weird rumors.

People are afraid of officials, Liu Zifeng just lifted the curtain and came out, the whispering crowd fell silent instantly.

When the yamen guard at Wang Mang's house saw his lord, he hurried forward and drove the people gathered on the road to both sides, sending them to clear a road for the carriage to move on.
