The wife of the power minister's family

Xu Jing quickly stepped aside and said: "Investor Zhang doesn't have to be like this, not to mention the contradictions I mentioned are just my own feelings and may not be right.

You remember, just now, almost everyone said that the princess was in a good mood that day. "

Song Qingyun was stunned and said: "Yes, except Shuangrui, everyone else said so, and they all said that the reason why the princess is in such a good mood is because she will be able to see her relatives in Xijing soon..."

"Yes, but don't you think this statement is strange?"

Xu Jing said quietly: "After all, Prince Ling and his party are not returning to Beijing to visit relatives. What's more, the reason for their return is not only disrespectful, but also very sensitive and dangerous."

Song Qingyun and Zhang Jishi were both shocked.

As an old man in the officialdom, Zhang Jishi had a sharper sense of smell. He hissed and said: "That's right! This time, Your Majesty... called King Ling and others back because of the Jiang family's rebellion. Regardless of King Ling's actual situation. Whether or not he has this intention, in the eyes of most people, he and the Jiang family are on the same side!

Under such circumstances, who would dare to approach them as long as they still want to hang out in the court? "

Even the Zhou family, Princess Ling’s natal family, would not dare to get close to them blatantly under such circumstances!

It should be said that the Zhou family is in dire straits right now, desperately thinking of how to show their loyalty to the Holy One!
Princess Ling was also a woman raised in a wealthy family. How could she not know such a simple truth? In this case, how could she be so happy because she was about to see her relatives?

Sadness and resentment are enough!

Based on Governor Zhang's experience, he should be able to think of this, but at the same time, the three people all said the same thing, so he might have been deceived.

Seeing that they had reacted, Xu Jing said quietly: "The attitude of Prince Ling and Princess Ling towards their coming to Beijing is normal. They know that it is not a good thing, but they have no choice but to relax as much as possible." .”

Song Qingyun frowned and said, "If you say this, could it be that... Dongyang, Aunt Lu and Fang Concubine... all lied?"

Xu Jing was silent for a moment and said: "There are two possibilities. One is that Princess Ling was indeed very happy that day, but she was happy for other reasons. The other is... they did lie."

Everyone felt their hearts sinking slightly.

Why do they lie? Besides the murderer and the accomplice, who else would lie?
However, if they were really a team, this combination would be too weird.

Forget it about Dongyang and Nanny Lu. They are both on duty with Princess Ling and have a lot of contact with each other on weekdays. It makes sense that they are in the same group.

But Concubine Fang seems to have a different style of painting than them.

the most important is……

Song Qingyun suddenly whispered: "If the murderer is really among them, then why... did they kill so many people?
What's more, they didn't enter Princess Ling's room at the same time. Who could be the real murderer? "

No matter who they are, these people don't look like they can kill people!
Xu Jing said: "I already have some idea of ​​who the murderer is, but... I don't know the purpose of the murder yet."

The others immediately stared at Xu Jing closely, with expressions eager for knowledge.

Xu Jing couldn't help but laugh and said: "I am just guessing who the murderer is. There are still some things that need to be clarified, and I haven't found any evidence to identify him.

I won’t say anything until everything is clear, lest my inferences be wrong and lead you astray. "

Everyone couldn't help but look disappointed.

Governor Zhang was disappointed for a while, then cheered up again, shook his head and sighed: "As expected of Mrs. Xu, she made so many discoveries just after meeting those few suspects. It's really worth hearing a hundred times." See you.

I'm afraid I have no choice but to help Madam Xu this time. If Madam Xu needs to investigate anything, just ask and I will send someone to do it immediately. "

The governor of this chapter was of good character and broad-minded, and he did not care about her because she stole his limelight.

However, Xu Jing also knew that this was because she had already gained a certain reputation before, and the Holy Emperor personally sent her here, so Governor Zhang could accept her so quickly.

She glanced at Governor Zhang with a smile and said, "Prefect Zhang, thank you very much. The next investigation will really require Governor Zhang to personally take action."

As she spoke, she explained in detail what she wanted him to investigate.

Governor Zhang was stunned for a moment, then he immediately stood up and said with a bow: "Okay, I will send someone to investigate what Madam Xu just said, but I'm afraid it will only take a day or two." Xu Jing nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm already prepared that this case won't be solved so quickly."

Governor Zhang said goodbye to them and turned to do the things afterwards. Xu Jing stretched a little and said with a faint smile: "Next, we have to wait for the results of Governor Zhang's investigation. Governor Zhang said that he has already done it for us." We have prepared several rooms in the Man Yue Building, let’s go and take a rest first.”

They came to Xinzhou overnight last night. After arriving, they continued to investigate all morning. They were not tired, and Xu Jing was tired too.

However, Song Qingyun became a little distracted after listening to Xu Jing's words. Hearing the words, she just nodded in a daze.

She remembered what A Jing had said when she came here. The murderer must have used unconventional methods to hide the heads.

She seemed to have guessed where the murderer had hidden the missing heads...

Xu Jing's room was arranged on the second floor, while Chen Hu's room was on the first floor.

The third floor is all VIP rooms. The rooms on the second floor are not as luxurious as the third floor, but they are still upper rooms.

Xu Jing was not very picky about where she slept. She slept until the afternoon. When she got up, the sky outside was already a little dark.

She sat on the bed in a daze, and suddenly thought of Xiao Yi.

Now, he has gone to camp on the front line.

I don't know what's going on with him.

She was actually very happy when she received the letter from home, but after the happiness, she felt a faint, indescribable emptiness.

Just like now, I feel like there is an empty space in my heart.

Xu Jing sighed secretly, got out of bed and put on her shoes. While putting them on, she couldn't help but think, why can't this case be more complicated?

If it were any more complicated, she might not have time to think about it.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, Chunyang walked in, and said softly: "Madam, are you awake? Dinner is ready. Madam, do you want to eat in the room or go to the lobby?"

Xu Jing thought about Song Qingyun, who was assigned to a room on the first floor, and said, "Let's go to the lobby to eat. Call Erniang Song here too, and I'll eat with her."

"Yes."

On the other side, the frontline battlefield outside Pengzhou.

Xiao Yizheng was wearing armor, standing in the tent with his hands behind his hands, looking down at the sand table on the table, his brows slightly furrowed and his face solemn.

Suddenly, Zhao Jingxuan's voice came from outside the camp, "Yanci, the people we sent outside the customs are back. As you expected, the Jiang family sent people to contact several alien races outside the customs!"

Zhao Jingxuan didn't bother to be polite to him. He opened the curtain and walked in. He said in a slightly cold voice: "Moreover, the leaders of several big clans have already received the envoys they sent there, and the military strength of those big clans has also increased in recent days. Something unusual has happened, something should be done soon, we don’t have time to stop it.

Those villains from the Jiang family must have sent people to contact them before they fled Xijing, and they are not afraid of seeking skin from a tiger! "

Xiao Yi raised his eyes and glanced at him, picked up a few red chess pieces on the table, inserted them in several border towns, and said softly: "What are they afraid of? If they don't fight hard, they will even seek skin from the tiger." The chance is gone.

However, even if there is movement from those alien races, it will not be a big problem. Cui Han and Ning Yuanjie have already deployed their troops at several border crossings, and they will be able to hold on for a while. "

As he said that, he picked up another red chess piece, with a hint of anger in his eyes, inserted it on the border of Yizhou, and said coldly: "And we want to take advantage of this moment to attack Yizhou as soon as possible and capture it directly. The thief captures the king first.”

Zhao Jingxuan looked at the sand table in front of him and said, "Fortunately, you and Dad had guessed in advance that they would cooperate with the aliens. If we had waited until the aliens launched a massive attack before we realized it, we would definitely be at a disadvantage.

However, in this way, Cui Han and Ning Yuanjie's troops will not be able to join us. With our existing troops, we can at best be on par with those rebels.

This battle is not easy to fight. "

As he said this, even he, who was optimistic by nature, couldn't help but darken his face.
