The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 321 Find Another Beloved
"Junior Sister!"

Chen Yuan, who was guarding the master's body, heard that Shui Sheng's voice was wrong, and quickly turned around and left the room to meet the senior brother who ran over from the corner of the corridor wiping away tears.

"Brother, but Uncle Lei was not found?"

"Uncle Lei, Uncle Lei..."

Shui Sheng was too anxious to speak, and handed her a piece of paper in her hand with red eyes.

Chen Yuan unfolded the paper.

"Shuisheng, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. I will live forever and go underground to ask your parents for your sins."

The writing is distorted and scribbled, but it can be discerned.

Although there were typos, Chen Yuan understood the meaning and looked at Shui Sheng with a pale face.

"Uncle Lei, did he seek death?"

Shui Sheng nodded to himself, "He hanged himself."

Chen Yuan followed Shui Sheng to Uncle Lei's house. There was still a section of thick rope on the beam. Uncle Lei was laid flat on the bed. His body was still hot and he had no breath.

Uncle Lei's death is completely in line with the state of hanging himself.

For a moment, Chen Yuan's heart was empty, while comforting Shui Sheng, she waited for the Qingfeng county government servant to come.

After Liao Yuzuo came, because he hated Chen Yuan's previous performance, he made things difficult for them and the group. Taking advantage of Uncle Lei's death, the Yamen servants almost took Chen Yuanshuisheng to prison for interrogation to make things difficult.

Fortunately, Uncle Lei left a suicide note before his death, and Zhen Jiaming, who had taken the Fanzi token, was on the sidelines, which made Liao Yu's villain's calculations come to nothing.

If the obstruction fails, Liao Yuzuo can only rest assured to conduct an autopsy under the supervision of the county captain of Qingfeng County.

Chen Yuan couldn't do the autopsy in person, but as a family member of the deceased, she was able to supervise from the sidelines.

With her watching, Liao Yuzuo didn't dare to do an autopsy.

The results obtained by the two are consistent this time.

Zeng Chi suffered a single injury to the back of the head and died of excessive blood loss.

Uncle Lei hanged himself.

And because of Uncle Lei's suicide note as evidence, the case was closed in less than a day.

The ancients believed in falling leaves returning to their roots. Originally, Chen Yuan wanted to take Zeng Chi's body back to Weiyu County and bury him in his hometown.

Unexpectedly, Shui Sheng said that when his grandfather returned to Shang, he had said that he would be burned after death, and his ashes would be sprinkled into the river, so that he could follow the current and go to the world to find his son and daughter-in-law who died in other places.

After finishing Zeng Wu's funeral, Shui Sheng hugged the empty jar and wept.

"Junior Sister, grandfather left just like that?"

Chen Yuan knew that he still couldn't accept this fact, the master's departure was too sudden.

"Brother, Master has gone to reunite with your parents, you have to be well."

Shui Sheng, who has never shed tears these days, asked sadly, "Junior sister, my grandfather told me to scatter his ashes into the river a few days ago, do you think he knew he was going to die?"

Remembering that not long ago, the master sent her away, took her by the hand and told her to take good care of Shui Sheng, Chen Yuan felt uncomfortable.

From Yizhuang in Weiyu County to Yizhuang in Qingfeng County, two Yizhuang and three custodians died.

Although the death of the fake Uncle Zhuang seemed to be related to Luo's patrol and other secret operations, it was only on the surface.

According to Uncle Lei's previous words, Chen Yuan had a premonition that all this might have something to do with Shui Sheng.

But, without evidence, she couldn't be sure.

Perhaps, she was thinking too much about conspiracy theories.

It's definitely not that Master designed Uncle Lei to commit suicide in order to keep Shui Sheng's identity a secret. It's definitely not that Master accidentally killed himself because he was afraid of delaying Shui Sheng's departure from Lingnan. The ashes scattered in Weiyu County, which has become a battlefield...

Shui Sheng is indeed the son of Lan Qing and Bao Chen, his brain is not very clever, but his brain was broken by his unscrupulous grandfather.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Yuan didn't tell Shui Sheng the guess, so as not to worry her senior brother.

"Old people like to make some arrangements, and it's not just the master who told them in advance."

Shui Sheng is simple-minded and trusts Chen Yuan. Hearing what she said, he stopped thinking about it.

Liu Yanchun, who was pretending to be Zhen Jiaming, came over with a carriage, "Shui Sheng, don't forget that Zeng Yuzuo told you to take good care of your junior sister. You are crying here, and you want your junior sister to endure your sadness and comfort you, a big man. Are you ashamed?" shame."

Shui Sheng, who was in a sad mood, wiped his nose embarrassingly, and looked at the same girl with red eyes, "Junior Sister, I'm sorry, I won't cry, and you don't cry secretly either."

"Well, we don't cry anymore, Master will be sad when he sees it."

Chen Yuan glared at Liu Yanchun, then pulled Shui Sheng into the carriage.

Liu Yanchun drove the carriage and sent the two of them out of Qingfeng County, then jumped off the horse, opened the curtain and said to Chen Yuan, "I'm going back to Weiyu County."

He looked at Shui Sheng who was wronged like an unwanted child, and sighed quietly, "It seems that I can only let my Yuan'er drive the carriage."

This person doesn't know how to take care of the emotions of his family members. Chen Yuan gave Liu Yanchun another look, "Why don't you find a hotel to rest for a few days, and you're not in such a hurry..."

"Recently, border operations have become more and more frequent, and it's not as safe as staying in the government office." Liu Yanchun couldn't care less about playing Zhen Jiaming at the moment, with a stern face, he poked Shui Sheng's calf with a horsewhip in disgust.

"Cheer up if you're a man. Your junior brother is dead, and your grandfather didn't protect you well. Do you want to watch your junior sister also die at the hands of elaborators?"

Shui Sheng, who was in a sad mood, frowned, snatched the whip from Liu Yanchun's hand, got out of the carriage sullenly, and sat on the board of the carriage.

"Brother Jiaming is right. I have lost my grandfather and younger brother, but I still have my younger sister. I want to protect my younger sister. My grandfather told me to protect my younger sister."

As he talked, thinking of his grandfather who depended on him for life, Shui Sheng shed tears again, "Brother Jiaming, don't worry, I know that you and your junior sister have a mutual friendship, and I will hand her over to you in the future, so you have to Take care of yourself."

In a word, Chen Yuan blushed. The misunderstanding caused earlier has not been explained clearly recently, and the senior brother misunderstood a lot.

Zhen Jiaming's fake face twitched, and he looked at the constipated girl sitting in the carriage with a half-smile.

In exchange for only a supercilious look.

But I heard Shui Sheng say sincerely, "However, if something goes wrong with you, I will definitely not let my junior sister wait for you. It's too hard to be alone, and I will find a better husband for her to take care of her."

"..."

Brother, you think a little far, a little too much.

Chen Yuan picked her toes in embarrassment, but she couldn't explain it. Facing Liu Yanchun's surprised and disgusted eyes, she angrily put down the curtain and urged, "Brother, let's go quickly."

This dandy doesn't need her to wait, he has great ambitions, princesses, princesses and noble daughters are his goals, and she doesn't care about such dandies.

He still detests her, bah.

"it is good."

Shui Sheng waved his whip, and the wheels of the car creaked and turned.

Wang Qi caressed the handle of the saber and jumped onto the horse that was traveling along the way. He suppressed the look of disgust in his eyes, watched the carriage leave calmly, and then turned around and galloped away.

Perhaps turning grief and anger into strength, the two went to the Suizhou government office to report without stopping the next day.

Chen Yuan is also quite well-known in the Suizhou government office. With the recommendation letter from Guanzhi County, she quickly completed the entry process.

There are a lot of talents in the government office, unlike Weiyu County, where it is difficult to recruit clerks. There are only six clerks in the magistrate's yamen.

As a newcomer, she hadn't figured out the territory yet. Chen Yuan knew very well that she should not be too aggressive, lest she offend others, harm others' interests, and die without knowing how.

After all, compared with the interpersonal relationship between the government office and the county office, I don't know how complicated it is.

However, as the daughter of a criminal minister in exile, if she wanted to go to Beijing and seek a job openly, she had to get a release certificate and a letter of recommendation from the magistrate.

Fortunately, the foreshadowing done in Chaozhou prefecture has worked.

So after six days of doing nothing in the government office, Chen Yuan was called by the prefect Lu.
