Chapter 30 Mr. Huo, it's a pleasure to meet you
"If I don't work hard, do you think I can save these achievements?"

"Then why are you working so hard to get promoted?"

Chang Ying tilted her head: "You don't need to know that much."

Du Jian was defeated in an instant.He let go and watched her ride away.

Fu Yao was silent for a moment, then he also got on the horse, and said to Yang Chan and the others: "Old Yang will lead the people to guard the corpse first, I will go and have a look!"

The sun is shining brightly on the ground, and many wild flowers have bloomed in the suburbs in February.

They said they were coming to chase, but there was a large plain in front of them. Except for the people working in the fields, where was there any trace of the murderer who was eager to escape?

"Are you still chasing?"

While Chang Ying was standing under the tree looking forward, Du Jian had already arrived and looked sideways at her.

She lowered her shoulders, lifted the sword in her hand and swung off a few branches, then rode her horse back to the place where the incident occurred.

Yang Chan was pinching his chin and thinking about the corpse, when he saw her come back, he immediately stepped aside.

Chang Ying squatted down in front of one of the corpses.

This person was the bandit boss Hu Boss that Zixiang and the others had inquired about at the beginning, and he was also the man in black who forced Cheng Xiao to hand over the account book that night.

She opened his clothes with a dagger, and then cut open his purse, and only some common wound medicines were poured out.

The same is true for the rest of the corpses.

She frowned for a while, then got up and said to Yang Chan: "Please send a few people to bring back my subordinates."

No clue means nothing.She didn't keep up with the people she found, and they might not be rewarded with Shaoqing.

Besides, what Du Jian said was also reasonable, the other party had reached the point where they had nowhere to go, even if they caught up, they might not be able to handle it.

But the main reason is that she doesn't know who the master behind them is?

"It's not all bad for them to die. Cheng Xiao will be relieved because of this, and then there will inevitably be flaws exposed."

Du Jian came to the side and said this sentence lightly. "I guess, he should consider how to transfer or destroy the criminal evidence next."

Changying wrapped his arms around for a moment, then suddenly walked to a remote place.

Du Jian followed.

She folded her arms and turned back: "Actually, you know who they are, don't you?"

Du Jianbo said calmly, "I don't know."

"But you must know the ledger that Cheng Xiao swore to protect to the death, for whom?"

With the tip of his tongue against the corner of his lips, Du Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "It's the East Palace."

Chang Ying frowned: "The crown prince instructed Luo Yuan, and it was necessary for someone to sit in the south of the Yangtze River to act, so Luo Yuan instructed Cheng Xiao at the beginning.

"And Cheng Xiao definitely has his future as a condition, so he would rather lower his rank and come to the south of the Yangtze River to become a small magistrate. Cheng Xiao's eldest daughter, Cheng Yu, has stayed in Luo's house since then, and it is also because Cheng Xiao caught up with the prince. This line, is it?"

Du Jian nodded without denying it.

Changying slightly opened her lips: "It is the prince that Cheng Xiao wants to protect, but you want to seize the criminal evidence from him, so at least you can't be from the East Palace.

"Then you are from Huizhou, and you have stayed in Changxing for three consecutive months. If you are a member of the palace, it is impossible for you to meet these conditions.

"After thinking about it, Huizhou doesn't have any great families, but I heard that the family of the imperial merchant Huo Mingdi settled in Huizhou.

"The Huo family has a great career, and they have won the Sacred Heart these years, so I think, you should be the son of Huo Mingzhai, the young master of the Huo family, Huo Rong?"

Du Jian stood with arms folded, his figure was still handsome, but his eyes had already become sharp.

Changying raised her lips: "Young Master Huo, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The Huo family in Huizhou is just an imperial businessman, even if the family is rich, it is not too eye-catching in the huge Daning court, and it is not Changying's turn to pay attention.

But in the previous life, not long after the Ling family perished, the Huo family also suffered disaster overnight. Huo Mingzhai and his wife died in the mansion, the second son went crazy, and the youngest son was seriously injured.

But Huo Rong, who was raised as an heir, just disappeared.As Changying investigates the truth of the Ling family's catastrophe, it is inevitable that he will pay some attention to the case at the same time.

The Huo family has been deeply favored by the emperor for many years, and it is only natural to act for the emperor.

But Huo Mingzhai's son has such good martial arts, it is still beyond her expectation.

The wind in the woods was still rustling, and the shouts of carrying corpses in the distance could be heard from time to time.

Chang Ying was still in the process of adapting to Du Jian's identity change.

Before that, she didn't really associate him with the Huo family, although the Huo family was also a prominent existence in Daning.

But she couldn't ignore his indifference when he often mentioned these secrets.

She thought that he would not have any other possible identities, if he did not lie when he said he was from Huizhou.

On the way back to the city, the spring breeze was blowing on the face, mixed with the fragrance of the grass and wild flowers on both sides of the road, it was a spring scene.

When they arrived at the mansion, Cheng Xiao was sitting in the yamen waiting for news from them.

"How is it?" He hurried over.

Changying said: "The gang of murderers that night have been killed outside the city, my lord can rest easy from now on."

After leaving these words, she returned to Chang Yunxuan with her sword in hand, leaving Cheng Xiao frowning on the spot.

Du Jian and Yang Chan took the corpse and arrived at the mansion half an hour later. Cheng Xiao inevitably asked about the process, and after chatting, it was already past noon, and the scorching sun in mid-February did not sweat, but it was still a bit unbearable This heat.

Cheng Xiao sat in the room concentrating for a while, and finally walked out to the porch, took a deep breath, picked up the flower pot, and watered the orchids in the porch.

The news that the culprit had been found naturally spread, and the common people talked about it, and they naturally guessed everything.

But one thing is certain, the anxiety brought about by the previous house-to-house search has disappeared, and the next day, the girls and boys also began to take a leisurely walk in the street one after another.

Even in Zhizhou's mansion, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Mrs. Cheng sent people to bring several carts of flowers and trees early in the morning, and replaced all the existing ones.

During dinner, Shaoqing and the others heard Changying say that Du Jian was the young master of the Huo family. Everyone was a little surprised, but they felt it was reasonable.

After the meal, Chang Ying clings to the teacup, her thoughts flutter for a while.

The Ling family was destroyed when the palace was in dire straits. The situation at that time was even more intense than it is now, and the crown prince was already in a weak position. It is logically impossible for him to be distracted to deal with the Ling family.

The point is that the Ling family is not attached to Yang Su, and it doesn't make sense for the prince to deal with him.And the emperor has no reason.

So who was responsible for the crimes of the Ling family?

Moreover, after the Ling family, several other families were found to be cheating, and the Huo family was one of them. They said that they had nothing to do with each other, but when they got to the bottom of it, they died unclearly. They said they had a relationship, but they didn't hear anything in the next few years The news is out.

What's more, Huo Rong disappeared after the Huo family was defeated, and he didn't know if he died?
Looking back on his recent performance, I feel a little strange and pity.

Looking back on his recent performance, I feel a little strange and pity.

Due to the sudden death of the people in black, even Mrs. Cheng became more active. At night, she wrote a few flower appreciation posts, saying that she got a few pots of precious peonies a few days ago, and that she would invite some good friends on a date. The woman came to enjoy the flowers.

Ask Cheng Xiao for his opinion, Cheng Xiao will not answer.

After all, he has never seen women, thinking that everything will be fine when the man in black is dead.

It is indeed a good thing to die, but who knows how long this "good" can last?
What he wants is long-term peace and stability!

After sending his son, who had come to recite his homework, to go out, he rubbed his forehead, raised his head again, looked out the window for a while, got up and walked out of the threshold.

The servant came in suddenly and almost bumped into him: "There's a letter from Huzhou, saying there's new news about Shen Changying!"

Cheng Xiao immediately stopped and looked over.
