The farm girl has a field and is super powerful

Chapter 693 Unrecognizable

Zhao Yi is still very reliable.

The people he sent out were also very powerful.

Just when everyone was discussing and did not wait too long, someone came to report that Xu Zhao, the man on the previous flower boat, was found at one end of the moat.

When they found Xu Zhao, the unconscious Xu Zhao was lying on an extremely simple and unremarkable bamboo raft floating along the moat.

His body was covered with a layer of bamboo green stuff.

When Zhao Yi's men salvaged Xu Zhao and brought him in front of him, Zhao Yi patted his face and called him.

Seeing that he didn't respond, he asked someone to invite the doctor over.

The doctor arrived almost instantly.

He rushed to Xu Zhao in a hurry and knelt down to help him feel his pulse. Then he came to the conclusion that Xu Zhao had taken a large dose of drugs.

At least that dose of ecstasy would make him sleepy for a whole day.

That is to say, if we start to investigate this matter only from Xu Zhao, it will be a day's delay.

While Zhao Yi told the doctor to find a way to make Xu Zhao wake up earlier, he actively continued the investigation from other aspects.

Soon, someone came to report that they found a dead body from the place where the flower boat was burned.

Judging from the signs, it was a female corpse.

But her specific appearance and other things were completely burnt to nothing.

The moment they heard that it was a female corpse, everyone subconsciously felt that the person who was burned to death must be Xiao Ji who had just stood on the flower boat.

For a while, there were many discussions and various voices of regret.

Some people even said that Xu Zhao must have been tempted to threaten Xiao Ji when he entered the cabin, but when Xiao Ji refused, Xu Zhao held a grudge and set the ship on fire.

But as soon as this guess came out, it was immediately stopped and refuted by the people around.

Although the people present were all common people, they all stayed here for the sake of watching the excitement.

But that doesn't mean everyone is a fool.

Everyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Ji will always look at that kind of literati with a different eye.

The fact that Xu Zhao was invited to go on the flower boat to revise the score in front of so many people showed that he was approved by Xiao Ji.

After all, everyone knows Xiao Ji's cold and arrogant temper.

In this case, why did Xu Zhao treat Xiao Ji in full view?
Isn't this obvious nonsense?

In other words, the guesses of those people before are not valid at all.

The biggest doubts at present are why the flower boat caught fire in an instant, and who was the person who was burned to death, and was it Xiao Ji.

Another point.

Why did Xu Zhao become unconscious? Did he swallow the medicine himself, or was he framed to take the medicine?
Either way, it's very curious.

Zhao Yi didn't care about other people's discussions, he thought calmly for a while, and then ordered someone to bring up the maid serving Xiao Ji.

In addition to Xiao Ji's maid, he also sent someone to invite Jiang Qingyuan's mother in charge, as well as several people who had a good relationship with Xiao Ji in the past.

After those people were invited, Zhao Yi ordered them to identify the corpse and see if they could see anything.

It didn't take long for them to cover their mouths and noses with veils, showing sadness, whether true or false.

"My lord, this person is our Miss Xiao Ji from Jiang Qingyuan!"

"My lord, you must be the master for our Miss Xiao Ji!"

"A good-looking person, who was fine before going out, how could he turn into such a horrible appearance in the blink of an eye!"

"Yes, although my girl looks a little cold in the past, she is still a very good person. I beg you to make decisions for our girl!"

"..."

Among those few people, Jiang Qingyuan's mother in charge cried the saddest. She was just sad at first, but since she started crying, her crying became more and more uncontrollable.

"Don't cry. Why are you so sure that this corpse must be Miss Xiao Ji?" Zhao Yi asked.

"My lord, what Xiao Ji wore before leaving Jiang Qingyuan in the morning, what kind of incense she sprinkled on, and how tall and thin she is, as the mother in charge of Jiang Qingyuan, I know that most clearly."

"This figure, this appearance, at first glance is our poor girl Xiao Ji from Jiang Qingyuan!"

"My lord, you must make the decision for Miss Xiao Ji. How long has she been here in our Jiang Qingyuan, and I haven't... woo woo."

The mother in charge didn't continue to say the following words, but turned into a sad cry.

Zhao Yi pressed his head with some headaches, then pointed to Xiao Ji's post, and asked the servant girl.

"Tell me, how did you recognize her?"

"My lord, this servant is Miss Xiao Ji's personal servant girl, and it is this servant who helps her dress up in the morning."

"The accessories around the neck were brought by the maidservants for Miss Xiao Ji."

"I will never admit my mistake."

"..."

Hearing what those people said, the expressions of the crowd around the audience were instantly filled with expressions of regret, disappointment, sadness, pity, and so on.

Why did such a beautiful and outstanding girl Xiao Ji suddenly disappear?
Hey.

"Tell me about your girl's recent movements one by one." Zhao Yi asked carefully without changing his expression.

"Yes, my lord. That's how it is, slave..."

It was during this period of time that the doctor who was helping Xu Zhao saw that he had nothing to do, so he sent someone to ask for help.

After the new doctor arrived, he came to exactly the same conclusion as the previous doctor.

However, he was not at a loss, but calmly fed medicine into Xu Zhao's mouth.

Afterwards, he took out the acupuncture bag and stabbed several acupuncture points on his neck, arms and head.

After the acupuncture was over, he took out a small bottle and put it under Xu Zhao's nose and moved it back and forth several times.

After finishing, he leisurely put away his medicine box, got up and stood aside.

Not long after he got up and stood there, Xu Zhao who was lying there coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes.

"My lord, he's awake!"

"Yeah." When Zhao Yi nodded in response, he happened to hear Xiao Ji's maid finished explaining everything she knew.

He raised his foot and squatted down in front of Xu Zhao, and asked with a hint of concern in his tone.

"Master Xu, are you awake? How do you feel?"

"I'm fine, what's wrong with me?" Xu Zhao couldn't help but look around when he said this.

After he inadvertently glanced at the direction where the flower boat caught fire, his face suddenly turned pale with shock.

"What's going on? Where's Miss Xiao Ji?"

"Master Xu, why don't you come and identify him, is this person Xiao Ji?" Zhao Yi stood up and pointed in the direction of the corpse.

"This..." Xu Zhao seemed to have been hit hard, with half a quarter of an hour of sluggishness and disbelief on his face.

How could such a good person suddenly turn into a mummy?
What happened during his coma?
"Master Xu, before the flower boat caught fire, you were the only one who got close. During that time, did you find anything strange?" Zhao Yi asked.

"No. After I helped Miss Xiao Ji change the score, Miss Xiao Ji told me that I could sit in the cabin and wait for a while, and help her taste the new score by the way."

"Not long after I sat in, I suddenly fell into a coma."

"Suddenly fainted? Did you see anyone before the coma? Or touched something? For example, tea and snacks? Or did you smell anything?" Zhao Yi asked.

"No." Xu Zhao hesitated for a moment before replying.

"The last question, what is the relationship between Master Xu and Miss Xiao Ji?"

"I wanted to help her redeem her body, but I never thought that such a thing would happen." There was a trace of sadness in Xu Zhao's eyes.

He did have a feeling of sympathy for Xiao Ji, and he even had a feeling that he couldn't explain clearly.

But he could feel that Xiao Ji had no feelings for him, no admiration, only a little closer than others.

He doesn't like to do things that are forced by strong people, so he treats Xiao Ji as a girl from the same country with a poor background, and wants to help her.

After helping her, I will never see her again, which can be regarded as cutting off the unrealistic thoughts in my heart.

But who would have thought that the flower boat would catch fire?Xiao Ji was also burned to death?
Looking at the charred female corpse, Xu Zhao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Is this person really Xiao Ji?

It always feels like it shouldn't be like this.

"Master Xu, do you recognize him?"

"I... I don't know, I can't identify it." Xu Zhao shook his head honestly.

The few times he met Xiao Ji, each time he was very polite, and he never crossed the threshold.

He didn't even stare at Xiao Ji carefully and carefully.

No.

At this time, Xiao Ji's maid suddenly cried and knelt down in front of Zhao Yi and spoke.

"My lord, when my girl had an accident, he was the only one around. He must have set fire to the flower boat. This has ruined a life."

"My lord, please make the decision for our girl."

"He's unconscious, so where's the time to set fire to the boat? Besides, what's his motive for doing so?" Zhao Yi asked.

Hearing Zhao Yi's question, something flashed across the maid's eyes, and then she spoke with deep despair in her tone.

"My lord, did my girl die in vain? Could it be that you want officials to protect each other?"

"I don't agree."

After finishing speaking, the girl pulled out a hairpin from her head with great determination, and pierced it towards her neck.

"Stop!" Zhao Yi couldn't help shouting.

"!!!" Xu Zhao standing there looked dumbfounded.

By the time he reacted, the servant girl was lying powerlessly on the ground with a dull expression, and the hairpin in her hand was knocked to the ground by something.

There was also a less obvious bloodstain on her neck.

"This... this maid is too loyal, isn't she?"

"Who says it's not? Could it be true..."

"Shh, shut up, don't talk."

The surrounding discussions were much, much quieter, and everyone was watching the scene closely, wanting to see how it would end next.

"It's really not me." Xu Zhao said weakly.

"It wasn't you, could it be that my girl burned the flower boat and set herself on fire?" the maid sneered.

As soon as the question came out, there was a rhetorical question in the distance.

"Is not it?"
