Jiaohua

Chapter 1110
The soldiers will tell of the cellar where the body was found, and that the madam and the thugs have been caught.

The deceased was a nearly 40-year-old woman who died after dyeing flowers and willows.

According to a woman in the same courtyard as her, the madam forced her to receive guests when she knew she was sick, and refused to treat her until the mildew became more obvious and could not be hidden anymore, so she drove her to the underground wine cellar to fend for herself.

Zhu Chang brought people over to search this small courtyard from house to house, and when he lifted the stone slabs in the cellar, he found out that he had been dead for at least five days.

"This kind of thing is not uncommon here," said the soldier.

"This kind of thing is not uncommon anywhere." Ye Zheng sighed softly.

He turned his head and found that Shen Lie had been looking at the small courtyard pointed by the soldiers, his handsome face was calm and calm.

"Master?" Ye Zheng said.

"The bottom wine cellar," Shen Lie said in a low voice, "there should be a lot of wine jars."

"We opened the big wine jar, but the small one..." The soldier suddenly stopped, his eyes showing horror.

Ye Zheng's expression froze instantly.

If it can fit into a small wine jar, it must be...

"Wine jars are divided into big and small, as well as moving and still." Shen Lie said.

"Move?" Ye Zhengyi said, "Master, you mean..."

"Send people to all the intersections of Taoliuli Bridge to inquire if there is a wine team passing by today, or a team carrying wooden cabinets and boxes."

"Yes!" Ye Zheng took the order.

The shopkeeper Jingyunlou who came after Zhu Chang was dumbfounded.

"Let's go." Zhu Chang looked at him.

The shopkeeper of Jingyun Tower couldn't hold on any longer, his knees softened, and he threw himself to the ground and knelt down: "Masters, there's no need to go, I know what's going on, I'll tell you everything!"

"Second Miss, I found the person left behind by General Shen!"

Zhan Ning came up quickly and said to Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi and Liang Dechang stood by the river, Xia Zhaoyi was looking at the little jade in his palm, and turned around when he heard the words.

She has a good memory, no matter Xia Jiajun or Shen Lie's Yan Jun, she will remember everything she has met once.

The person who came now is the subordinate of Chang Zhicheng, the former captain of the garrison of Mountain View City.

"Miss Ali!" This subordinate came up quickly, rejoicing, "The general sent me here to wait for you! I know the way to the city, and I will lead you there!"

"That will be my work." Xia Zhaoyi smiled at him, and handed the jade back to Liang Dechang sideways.

"Second Miss, this..." Liang Dechang said.

"Since you discovered this Scholar Meng and stayed by his side to take care of him, you should keep this jade as a medal."

Liang Dechang didn't blush easily, and he felt a little embarrassed at the moment: "Then, yes, I'll keep it."

"Huh?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at him with a tilted head, and smiled, "You don't want to boast?"

Liang Dechang's face was completely red, a man who was seven feet tall and nearly thirty years old scratched his head in embarrassment.

The surrounding soldiers all laughed.

The girl's eyes were bright, and she said with a faint smile, "Okay, pack up and go to the city."

"Well, then I'll go and talk to Meng Sixiang!" Liang Dechang said.

"Wait," Xia Zhaoyi called to him, and handed over three taels of silver, "Here's this for him to use as money."

"Ok!"

The Xia family's military strength lies in the word "speed", whether it is marching or preparing.

After Xia Zhaoyi gave the order, more than a dozen people quickly packed up and led the horses ready to go.

Liang Dechang ran over and whispered in front of Xia Zhaoyi: "Second Miss, that Scholar Meng insists on seeing you, and wants to thank you in person."

"No need," Xia Zhaoyi said, "You are the one who saved him, and he and I just met by chance."

"But those silver taels belong to Miss Er, he..."

"I'm in a hurry to enter the city." Xia Zhaoyi interrupted him.

Zhan Ning whispered: "Did you forget those Kuozhou soldiers and horses you met on the road?"

Liang Dechang was stunned, and immediately looked solemn, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, I was confused! Then I will tell you and catch up immediately."

Meng Sixiang sat under the tree, looking up at the uphill in the distance.

The trail where he passed out was too steep, and Liang Dechang didn't discover him until he was patrolling.Up to now, Meng Sixiang has only heard the sound of horseshoes, but has not seen their war horses yet.

Listening to the movement, there are not many people.

The figure of Liang Dechang appeared, walking towards this side.

Meng Sixiang's suspicious and speculative eyes immediately changed. He supported the big tree behind him and got up weakly and tiredly: "Brother Liang."

"No, please sit down," Liang Dechang said, "We have to go, you should rest well, recharge your batteries, and leave here immediately after your strength recovers. There may be some ferocious beasts appearing in this deep mountain and wild forest .”

"Are you leaving now?" Meng Sixiang was taken aback, "I still want to thank you in person..."

"We're in a hurry." Liang Dechang patted his thin arm, "Take care of yourself, and return to Ningzhou safely. I'm leaving."

Liang Dechang walked neatly, he turned his head after going uphill, and waved at Meng Sixiang.

Meng Sixiang raised his hands and bowed solemnly to him.

When Liang Dechang's back completely disappeared, the gratitude on Meng Sixiang's face disappeared slowly like an ebbing tide.

Soon, there was the sound of them leaving.

After a long time, Meng Sixiang propped himself up and walked up with difficulty.

Across the river, he climbed the weeds half a person's height and looked down.

A total of 21 people, all tall and mighty war horses.

The girl was leading the way, talking to a soldier whose armor was different from the others.

From the appearance, the soldier seemed to come to lead the way.

Neither this soldier nor the armor worn by the other 19 people is the standard of the Hengxiang Guard House and Chengnan Duwei Mansion.

When the road became open, they stopped walking slowly and galloped away.

Meng Sixiang's eyes watched the girl's back until she disappeared from sight.

He had never seen this woman before, and he was sure she hadn't, but there was a very familiar feeling.

Whether it's her eyebrows, or her back.

Obviously, the girl didn't know him either.

Where did this sense of familiarity come from?

When it was nearly You, Xia Zhaoyi took the reins and led his troops to stop on the north side of Dianqing River, looking at Hengxiang on the other side.

There is a long bridge that can reach the opposite side. On both sides of the long bridge, the water is surging, and the river wind blows head-on, blowing away her temple hair, revealing her petite and thin face.

She didn't move for a long time, and Zhan Ning asked puzzled, "Second Miss?"

"The Kuozhou soldiers and horses are coming soon," Xia Zhaoyi said, looking sideways at Zhan Ning, "Many large lakes in Hengxiang City are drained from this Qingjiang River."

Zhan Ning knew what she wanted to say almost immediately, and said in surprise, "Second Miss thinks of Weiping Mansion in Youzhou, which was flooded by Song Zhiyi!"

"That's right," Xia Zhaoyi pulled the reins again, controlling the restless mount under the crotch due to the turbulent river, "Weeping Mansion was flooded, and tens of thousands of people were displaced. The people I hired to build roads in Youzhou, They all come from Weiping Mansion."

Everyone was afraid when they heard the words.

"Second Miss, what should we do, open a road and build a river embankment?" Guan Chi said, after all, blocking is worse than sparse.

"Stupid," said Zhan Ning, "Since we have seen it beforehand, if those people really want to come over and make tricks, we should kill them here immediately."

"But what if they destroy the bridge here? How do we get here?" Guan Chi said.
