During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Before Lan Xin could finish her words, the person hiding behind the firewood pile came out and got entangled with her.

Jiang Miao had learned a few moves, but those moves were simply not enough in front of a real killer.

Soon, the fire stick was cut to pieces, leaving only the size of a palm, and Jiang Miao had no way to retreat, with a well behind her.

At this time, the masked man stabbed with a sword, but Jiang Miao barely dodged it.

In panic, a bamboo tube fell out.

She remembered that this was what Luo Tingye had left for her, saying that if she was in danger, someone would come to help as long as she pulled the fuse.

Jiang Miao picked up the bucket and threw it at the man. She quickly picked up the bamboo tube, unscrewed the lid and pulled the fuse, and a firework shot into the sky.

The masked man's expression changed drastically when he saw the fireworks. He stared at Jiang Miao for a while, then turned and ran away.

Jiang Miao: "..."

At the same time, the killer who was entangled with Lan Xin quickly retreated.

In an instant, Jiang Miao seemed to understand something, "Oh no, I seem to be in trouble."

Lan Xin also came back to her senses, looking at the fireworks spreading in the sky, thoughtfully, "Girl, this thing is given to you by His Highness."

Jiang Miao nodded blankly, "He said it was dangerous and asked me to pull it."

As mushroom clouds of flowers bloomed in the sky above Qingzhou City, everyone was alarmed.

The first person to react was Jiang Qian, "Take someone to find Ah Miao quickly, something may have happened to her."

"Yes." Hong Da responded in a panic. When he rushed over with people in a hurry, there was no one else in Gu Ying's house except a few corpses.

Signs of a fight were found in the yard.

Just when he was about to conduct an inspection, Jia San arrived with his people, along with people from the Ming Governor and Guo Xing.

Several parties met, all for the sake of fireworks.

Hong Da's anxious heart was relieved and he was here, which meant that the girl was probably fine and had run away.

Hong Da asked people to collect the body and carry it back to the county government. Jia San wanted to see the body, but he refused because he would influence the county government's handling of the case.

Jia San tried to use his status to suppress others, but Hong Da was not afraid.

Without the body, the scene can only be inspected.

It wasn't until dark that everyone left.

The first to leave were the people from Guo Xing, "Sir, I took advantage of the fact that the county government officials were not prepared to check the corpses secretly. They were all killed with a single knife. They were probably silenced."

Guo Xing skimmed the tea leaves and took a sip of tea, "Have you asked who the dead person is?"

"After asking, a total of four people died. The man's name is Gu Rong, a pastry chef at the Dessert Restaurant branch. He and his father were fired by Dessert Restaurant a few days ago, and Master Gu died that night."

Guo Xing felt vaguely familiar.

The attendant reminded: "Dessert House is a dim sum shop, and the owner is Jiang Miao, who is also Jiang Qian's sister."

Guo Xing suddenly realized, "She is the girl who attracted the wild bees here."

At this time, Guo Xing thought of Lan Xin, who had extraordinary skills, "I remember you said that Lan Xin called her a girl, and that Lan Xin was a practitioner?" "Yes, I followed the two of them for a while and heard it with my own ears. When Lan Xin called her a girl, I originally thought about testing Lan Xin's kung fu, but I was afraid of causing trouble, so I just observed it quietly. According to my observation, she is indeed a master, and she must have received special training."

There was a bit of amusement in Guo Xing's eyes, "It's interesting, Jiang Qian is just a farmer, but his sister has such a powerful guard around him, and the person who died was the master of the Dessert House, who was fired inexplicably not long ago. And then a family was stabbed to death."

The attendant heard the meaning behind his words, "I suspect that the murderer is Lan Xin, who was beside Jiang Miao, but among the dead is a pregnant woman who is about to give birth. Are they really so cruel?"

Guo Xing couldn't help but think of the scene where Lan Xin gave Song Zheyuan medicine. She was a cruel and ruthless girl!

Soon, Guo Xing shook his head again and said, "If it's her, who set off the fireworks?"

"By the way, Master, I found traces of a fight at the scene. It seemed that there were four people, one of whom had been hiding next to the firewood pile."

The attendant took out a piece of clothing fabric, black, cotton, and it smelled like it was stained with tea.

"You can't find anyone with just a piece of cloth."

"Sir, aren't you going to investigate? Aren't you always very curious about the case? You always have to get involved every time you encounter a case."

Guo Xing shrank his neck, "That was in the capital. I was originally responsible for the case in the capital, but this is Qingzhou. The matter happened in Yidu County. It should be investigated by the county magistrate. I can only take action if the investigation is not clear."

The attendant understood, "Sir, you helped Jiang Qian ask for medicine before, but he never expressed anything. If the case is not clear, he will definitely come to see you, and then you can ask for favors naturally."

Guo Xing glanced at him sideways, "What does a little Jiang Qian have that I can ask for?"

"But didn't you say two days ago that the shoes at Jiangji Shoe Store are comfortable? I thought you wanted them?"

Guo Xing scolded him, but suddenly paused, "There is a dessert shop and a shoe shop. One makes pastries that are not seen in the palace, and the other makes unique shoes. Is Jiang Qian really born in a farmer's family?"

"Didn't your Excellency check his identity?"

So what if I checked, can't I fake it?

Besides, not everyone has the fireworks to call for help, only the wealthy and royal families can use them.

"While celebrating the New Year now, you should find a way to find out Jiang Qian's origins, and find out everything in detail."

"Yes."

After Song Zheyuan heard about what happened to the Gu family, his first reaction was to the Yang family, "Could it be someone from the Yang family who did it?"

"Sir, why do you doubt the Yang family? The younger one thinks Jiang Miao is more suspicious. She just drove her father and son back, and then something happened."

Song Zheyuan stood up with his strength, "Why did the good Jiang Miao fire the Gu family and his son? There is obviously something wrong with the Gu family and his son. Killing him with a knife is more like silencing him."

The Gu family and the Jiang family have a close relationship, so their deaths must not be simple.

Song Zheyuan immediately thought of the Yang family. Although the Yang family had withdrawn from Qingzhou, they must not be willing to be teased and bullied by a little peasant girl and defeated.

Even if you walk, you won’t do nothing.

Perhaps the people from the Yang family bribed the people from the Gu family and asked them to do something, but Jiang Miao found out. They were afraid that Jiang Miao would find out something, so they simply kept silent.

But Jiang Miao is also a strange person. Why does she have fireworks asking for help?

When Jia San found out what happened, Jiang Miao went to Gu's house in a carriage, and then left in a hurry.

On the surface, it seems that Jiang Miao killed them, but it may also be a trap set for Jiang Miao.
