Smash the little fairy doctor, relying on fortune-telling to popularize the entire dynasty

Chapter 14 Strange Murder Case
Old General Xiao got up and picked up Su Qingtian and put him on the high chair beside him, then picked up a meat bun and handed it to her.

"Good girl, this is a cabbage bun, and this bowl of white fungus soup is also yours."

The two adults passed food to the baby while eating.

Su Qingtian is not too polite, hunger is the most important thing, she bowed her head and ate a mouthful of porridge wrapped in meat.

Although he wanted to stay with his granddaughter for a while, but the affairs in the army were complicated, Old General Xiao gave Su Qingtian and Xiao Yichen a few words after eating, and then took Meng Fang to the military camp.

Xiao Yichen took a sip of the rice porridge, and seeing that Su Qingtian was almost done eating, he asked in a low voice, "Xiao Qingtian, your cousin Nan woke up. He heard that you came to Fengcheng, and he was clamoring to see you."

"When you are full, do you want to go and see him with your little uncle?"

"He will be very happy to see you."

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then glanced at Xiao Yichen again, then shook her head.

Xiao Yichen was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the little girl to refuse, his originally hopeful eyes gradually dimmed.

The Xiao family has been scattered over the years, and he just wants the people in the Xiao family to love and help each other and enjoy themselves happily.

The two juniors are not very old, originally he thought that these two children could become playmates very quickly, but...

But he wouldn't blame Su Qingtian, after all, the little girl had suffered a lot along the way, and she must be very wary of strangers in her heart.

In addition, the letters from the people in the capital mentioned her inhuman life these years, and now that she is loved by her father and herself, she naturally does not want to share her affection with other children.

Stretching out her hand to grab a piece of mung bean cake, Su Qingtian saw at a glance that Xiao Yichen had misunderstood herself.

She took a sip of porridge and swallowed the food in her mouth. She said in a sweet voice: "Little uncle, I like little cousin very much."

Xiao Yichen turned to look at the little girl, and heard Su Qingtian continue to say, "It's just that someone is looking for you to go out soon, and I want to go with you."

"When we come back, let's go see the little cousin together."

Hearing the little girl's unreasonable words, Xiao Yichen couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although he is the young son of the General's Mansion in this frontier fortress, and he is considered handsome and handsome among the princes of the aristocratic family in the capital, but now he is already a useless person.

Coupled with the recent rumors that the national teacher said that the Xiao family was a disaster, the people willing to communicate with the Xiao family gradually became rare, let alone such a temporary invitation that was impossible.

Seeing the seriousness on the little girl's face, Xiao Yichen couldn't bear to break it, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull the small knot on her head.

This little girl was deliberately teasing herself, so she just casually said these things.

Xiao Yichen couldn't help but feel a warm current flow through his heart.

Before he could tease his little niece, a government soldier hurried into the side hall, bowed his head and cupped his fists, "Young master."

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Yichen paused in mid-air while touching Xiao Tuan's hand, frowning slightly when he saw the person coming.

"Master Liu has something to see, but he is already in the front hall."

Master Liu?
Liu Zifeng? !

Xiao Yichen was taken aback, and blurted out: "Don't be negligent, tell Mr. Liu, I'll go right away!"

Liu Zifeng Master Liu, he is the county magistrate of Fengcheng, a scholar who was accidentally rescued from bandits when he was on a mission.

Unexpectedly, in the second year after being half-exiled in the Xiao family and moving to Fengcheng, Liu Zifeng was transferred to Fengcheng by a single order to become the county magistrate here.

Liu Zifeng is low-key and pragmatic, a bookworm who doesn't talk much.

But he has great righteousness in his heart, and he is a character who will repay the favor of a drop of water.

So in the next few years, Liu Zifeng would never take the initiative to contact the Xiao family unless necessary, and he hardly had any contact with the Xiao family in private.

But Xiao Yichen knew that Liu Zifeng had secretly helped the Xiao family live a peaceful life in Fengcheng.

Today's sudden visit must be something very important.

Someone tugged at his sleeve, Xiao Yichen turned his head and saw his little niece tugging at his long sleeve, a hint of helpless joy suddenly appeared in his eyes.

What happened last night was still vivid in his memory, which made him suspect that this precious dumpling of his own had rumored supernatural abilities, which should not be underestimated.

"Let's go."

Su Qingtian jumped off the wooden bench upon hearing this, and pushed the bewildered Xiao Yichen towards the front hall
"Little Qingtian, how did you know that Mr. Liu will come to find me today?"

"Could it be that you are a little fairy who knows how to count?"

Xiao Yichen joked.

"Because of that." Su Qingtian thought for a while, then organized her words, and explained lightly, "He came to look for little uncle because of the wooden sign."

Xiao Yichen fell silent when he heard the weird wooden sign.

The lettering on it combined with the evil on the roof last night, this matter weighed heavily on his mind again.

Xiao Yichen's hands holding the armrest couldn't help but squeeze tightly, and the hands with white knuckles and bulging veins creaked.

In the front hall, Liu Zifeng stood in the center in an official robe. He was tall and straight, his face was calm but his brows were tightly furrowed, which added a calm and prestige to his originally handsome face.

Hearing the sound of the wheelchair rolling, Liu Zifeng turned and anxiously looked outside the door to look for Xiao Yichen.

As soon as the corner of the other party's clothes was exposed, Liu Zifeng rushed forward to bow to him.

"Little boy."

Regardless of pleasantries, Liu Zifeng went straight to the point, "A strange murder occurred on Nanxi Street in Dongfang City."

Xiao Yichen was taken aback, he didn't expect Liu Zifeng to bring up the murder case, before he had time to ask, he heard Liu Zifeng continue.

"The deceased was a man in his late thirties. His surname was Wang and his name was Ben. He usually traded pork at the vegetable market in Dongfang City."

"At Maoshi this morning, the wife who returned from her natal home found the deceased dead in the room."

"The strange thing is that Xiao's characters are written in blood everywhere in the room. There are dark red writings on the walls, beds, floors, and even the beams."

Xiao Yichen, who originally suspected that this murder had something to do with the Xiao family, fell silent.

I don't know if it's the intention of the current emperor or the national teacher, but the Xiao family is the only one in Fengcheng with the surname Xiao.

The direction of this word is too clear, but anyone who sees the scene of the crime must be the first to think of Xiao Mansion.

No wonder Liu Zifeng came to visit early in the morning, he must have discovered the strangeness and eye-catching purpose of this matter.

"Preliminary investigation by the yamen servants, it is determined that Wang Mang has nothing to do with the Xiao family."

"Even the servants in your mansion haven't had any contact with him. At most, they have met when they were selling meat in the vegetable market a few days ago."

"But all the Xiao characters in the current house point to the fact that this time is related to your mansion. I have no choice but to ask the young master and this officer to go to the scene of the crime."

It wasn't a big deal, but it was an innocent life.

He originally found Old General Xiao directly according to the procedure.

But Liu Zifeng knew in his heart that someone was deliberately framing the Xiao family in this matter, and he chose to find Xiao Yichen just out of routine and go through the process.
