The farm girl has a field and is super powerful

Chapter 694 Time Heals Everything

The appearance of that rhetorical question instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

The person who came was none other than Zhuifeng who was beside Lin Chenyuan.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Yi looked at Zhuifeng and asked.

Not to mention Zhao Yi, this question was a question that everyone present wanted to ask.

"It literally means that the flower boat was set on fire by Xiao Ji herself, and Master Xu Zhao was stunned by Xiao Ji."

"How is this possible? Well done, why did Miss Xiao Ji set herself on fire?"

"That's right, a beautiful girl's family suddenly set fire to herself on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. Who can do such a thing?"

"Is it obvious that you are talking nonsense with your eyes open?"

"Isn't it?"

"Anyway, Miss Xiao Ji is dead, so you can say whatever you want, isn't it up to you?"

"..."

"Dead? Who said Xiao Ji is dead?" Zhuifeng let out a soft snort, then squeezed his fingers and blew a whistle.

Soon, everyone saw two men in black clothes walking over a ragged beggar.

"This is?"

As soon as Zhao Yi finished asking, he saw Zhuifeng walk up to the beggar, looked at him and said.

"Do you do it yourself, or do I help you?"

"I'll do it myself." After the beggar finished speaking, the person who was holding him down immediately released his hand.

Then I saw the unremarkable beggar reaching out to remove the messy wig on his head, and pulling off the dirty clothes outside.

A standard beauty appeared in front of everyone in an instant, and everyone present was shocked.

"Xiao...Xiao Ji?"

"So Xiao Ji really didn't die? Who was that person who was burned to death?"

"What's going on? Why do I feel like I'm dumbfounded?"

"..."

Facing those doubtful voices of discussion, Xiao Ji completely ignored them, and just stood there with an indifferent expression.

"Miss Xiao Ji, you..."

Xu Zhao walked up to her and looked at the woman who had become a stranger for a moment. He felt a tightness in his chest for a moment, and the words he was about to ask were suddenly stuck in his throat.

"Sorry, I lied to you when I said you were from the same town."

"Well, I see." Xu Zhao nodded with some difficulty.

So, Xiao Ji at this moment is what she should have been, right?

The Xiao Ji who appeared in front of him before was actually a disguise.

And what he likes and wants to help is just a person in disguise.

If Xiao Ji, who had pretended so far, had not been caught today, perhaps he would have become the murderer of Xiao Ji.

Then what he has to face...

Thinking of these, and thinking of him who had been working hard to help Xiao Ji before, Xu Zhao only felt that his eyes were a little dark.

Feeling bored and bitter.

"Miss Xiao Ji, we suspect that the fire on the flower boat and this unidentified female corpse are all related to you. Come with us." Zhao Yi came over and said.

"Okay." Xiao Ji nodded.

It's such a time, she can't run away at all, what else can she do except cooperate?
She thought her plan was flawless, but who would have thought that she would be discovered and even caught?
"Master Xu, I'm sorry to trouble you, but you have to go with us first."

"Well, let's go." Xu Zhao nodded and followed behind them.

So, under the eyes of everyone, Xiao Ji, Xu Zhao, the female corpse, Xiao Ji's maid and others were all taken away by Zhao Yi's people.

After discussing a few words about the news that the boat caught fire, everyone dispersed.

Upstairs, after seeing this scene, Bai Jinli couldn't help asking: "Master, don't you need to go over and have a look?"

"No need for now. Xiao Ji will explain everything clearly."

"My lady, I would like to invite Xu Zhao to have a drink tonight."

"Well, let's go." Bai Jinli nodded.

The fire on the painting boat came to fruition on the third day after the Dragon Boat Festival.

The spontaneous combustion of the painting boat was indeed arranged by Xiao Ji herself.

She found a female corpse that was highly compatible with her and hid it in the painting boat in advance, and then made all the arrangements for the escape route.

It was to frame Xu Zhao, and then take the opportunity to cause conflicts between Xu Zhao and others.

Moreover, she was accompanied by others when she left, and the person who responded to her was also imprisoned at this moment.

The final conclusion is that Xiao Ji is actually a spy sent by the Tortoiseshell Kingdom.

Apart from her and the respondent, there should be other female spies in the capital.

His Majesty was furious when he learned of this, and ordered a thorough investigation.

Within three to five days, a list was delivered to His Majesty's desk.

His Majesty looked at the list for a long time, and then summoned several ministers to secretly enter the palace overnight.

No one knows exactly what His Majesty told them.

It was just that in the next few days, those ministers who were called into the palace had people who lived in the back house either explicitly or secretly.

Some are the minister's concubine, some are the minister's concubine, and some are the servants of the mansion, etc.

The capital seems to be as prosperous as ever, but who would have expected that.

Inadvertently, the capital has experienced several turmoil.

After the matter was finally resolved, Zhao Yi, as the main person in charge of handling the incident, also received corresponding rewards from His Majesty.

Originally, he was just the captain of a certain team of the Imperial Guard, but now, he seems to be the captain of the entire Imperial Guard.

The position is second only to the leader and deputy leader.

And Zhao Yi's father, Zhao Yanchen, after repeated attempts, finally presented His Majesty with the most suitable crossbow for soldiers to use.

At the same time, it summarizes the production method and usage method of bows, and the advantages and disadvantages compared with bows and arrows.

His Majesty tried it himself immediately after getting this thing, and was overjoyed afterwards.

Immediately afterwards, he awarded Zhao Yanchen a reward, and everyone in Zhao's mansion got a particularly generous reward.

Including Zhao Yanchen's wife, Mrs. Xu, also became a titled second-rank madam.

Even the old man and old lady of the Zhao family received His Majesty's condolences.

For a time, the Zhao family was in the limelight.

As for the Zhao family at this moment, although they were very happy after receiving the reward, they kept a low profile as always, without any publicity at all.

Because they know that the reason for their sudden favor is not only their own.

Here, most of the reasons come from Lin Chenyuan.

They also thought about telling His Majesty all of Lin Chenyuan's achievements, but Lin Chenyuan refused.

He has his own thoughts.

The only thing the Zhao family can do is to trust him and become his strong backing.

It was also through this incident that Bai Jinli and the others saw His Majesty's methods.

To be honest, after this incident came out, Bai Jinli also had a list in her hand, which was given to her by Qi Duo from Jinli Pavilion.

Information gleaned from everyday life.

But ever since she discovered that there were other people besides those on her list among the dead people in the back house (female spies), she really felt a little awe of the current majesty.

It was the person in a high position, even if he looked mild and gentle, he was very gentle.But he is a monarch after all, and his means and eyes and ears are as good as the sky.

Bai Jinli couldn't figure out how His Majesty arranged the people and how he got the information.

She didn't want to think about it either.

She felt that all she had to do was to do what she was supposed to do.

At the very least, the current His Majesty is a wise emperor, and a good emperor who cares about the world and the people.

Since the Zhao family received the reward from His Majesty, many people began to run to the Zhao family.

In addition to wanting to have a good relationship with Zhao Jiala, most of them came to propose marriage to Zhao Ranran on behalf of others.

Today's Zhao Ranran is a first-class existence no matter in terms of family background or appearance.

It has become the most suitable marriage candidate in the hearts of those aristocratic officials in the capital.

Wave after wave of people came to the door, which really caused great confusion to Zhao Ranran.

Recently, she is staying at home to study, read and relax. Who knew that so many people would suddenly appear to propose marriage.

When thinking of getting married, she couldn't help but think of Liu Zhou, a scumbag.

Thinking of this scumbag, she felt a deep fear of getting married.

Therefore, no matter who came to propose marriage, she shook her head and refused.

Before she has done a good job in psychological construction, she doesn't want to rashly give her sincerity to anyone.

Then, being annoyed by those people, she went to Baifu to look for Bai Jinli.

It turned out that after going there, I found that the recent atmosphere in the White Mansion seemed to be a little bit wrong.

Compared with the past, it seems that there is a little more depression that cannot be concealed.

When Zhao Ranran arrived at Bai Jinli's yard, she asked about her.

"Cousin, has something major happened in your house recently?"

"It's nothing. It's just an old sister of my mother. She passed away due to physical reasons. My mother has been in a bad mood these days."

The person Bai Jinli was talking about was actually Xing Shi, the grandmother of Tan Xiaohua, who Pozi Li used to like to chat with.

Ever since she learned the news of Xing's death, Mrs. Li's mood became depressed.

Bai Jinli suggested that she could accompany Granny Li back to see her, but Granny Li refused.

After all, it had been a while since Xing Shi passed away when they got the news of Xing Shi's death. Even if they went back now, they would just burn paper in front of Xing Shi's grave.

Mrs. Li would rather keep these sorrows in her heart than bother Bai Jinli and the others deliberately.

It was too far and too much trouble from the capital to the way back.

"Ah, so, how can she feel better? Tell me, and I'll help you." Zhao Ranran asked with concern.

"No need, Ran Ran, time will heal everything, my mother is fine, I will spend more time with her these days."

"Yeah, that's a must."

"Ran Ran, what's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing, I'm just here to see you, hehe~" Hearing what Bai Jinli said, Zhao Ranran didn't have the nerve to tell her about her marriage proposal.

People in the White Mansion are sad because of Mrs. Li's friend's funeral. Wouldn't it be good for her to mention marriage proposals at this time?
After staying with Bai Jinli for a while, chatting casually, and grabbing some food, Zhao Ranran left.

After leaving the White Mansion, she walked towards the Shen Mansion again.

The cousin-in-law can't help her solve her problems now, so she can always go to Shen Guan.

Shen Guan is someone who is about to get married, so it's good for her to go there early to learn the scriptures.
