Xue Jinyi noticed the killing intent in Zhao Wen'er's eyes, and raised the corners of her lips at her with disdain.

"Miss Zhao is the victim of this case, her testimony is very important, Qinglan, you can accompany her to the yamen." She said softly, "Be sure to take care of her." ”

She glanced at Qinglan.

Qinglan understands that when Zhao Wen'er enters the gate of Daxing County, don't think about coming out easily.

"Let's go." Qinglan grabbed Zhao Wen'er, followed the ranks of officers and soldiers, and returned to the yamen first.

The Daxing County Order bowed his hand to Xue Jinyi and personally entered Zhao's house to check.

"They've been hiding here." He pointed to the haystack behind the courtyard gate, "There are shoe prints on the ground." ”

Xue Jinyi leaned over to look, and sure enough, there were some messy shoe prints, looking at the size, they were men's.

The Zhao family only has Mama Zhao and Zhao Wen'er, so who else can they be besides those three villains?

Daxing County Commander followed the footprints and walked to the wing room, pushed open the door of a room on the west side, and saw that in the room where the sundries were originally piled up, there were three bedding and messy wine bottles and food on the ground, and a few rats were eating half a roast chicken.

Daxing County Ling was stunned for a moment, squatted down, and carefully checked the bedding and food, "This group of people has spent at least one night here, looking at the amount of food, at least three or four meals have been eaten......" He counted with his fingers, "Today's breakfast and lunch, plus yesterday's ...... In this way, they shouldn't have hidden Mama Zhao too far away. ”

Xue Jinyi looked at the dirty bedding and food, and frowned slightly.

Seeing that the three gangsters are powerful and have stayed at Zhao's house for at least one night, do they want to trick Ah Xuan into the door and expose him for pretending to be sick?

But she rejected Zhao Wen'er and replaced her with herself, Zhao Wen'er wanted to use these three people to ruin her innocence?

So, who instructed Zhao Wen'er to do this?

With Zhao Wen'er herself, she shouldn't be able to contact this kind of person.

Cai family?

They found out that Pan Li was deceived, and the dead person was not Ah Xuan at all, so they thought that Ah Xuan was pretending to be sick, so they asked Zhao Wen'er to act in such a play?

Or is it Sun Suci who has been contacted before?

Sun Suci has the courage and perseverance to defeat and fight, and it is impossible for her to stop from the previous things.

"Princess?" Seeing that Xue Jinyi was thinking about something, the Daxing County Commander called softly twice.

"Huh?" Xue Jinyi came back to her senses.

"Look here." The Daxing County Order opened a pile of debris and pointed to the secret door below.

Xue Jinyi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up the knocker of the secret door with her own hands.

Could Mama Zhao be down here?

This door was a little heavy, she couldn't open it at first, and the Daxing County Commander hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the two of them worked together to open a somewhat heavy secret door.

Below is the cellar used by ordinary people to store grain, and it is pitch black and there is no sound.

Xue Jinyi's heart sank a little, and she shouted at the mouth of the cellar: "Mama Zhao, are you inside?" ”

No response.

She actually hoped that Mama Zhao was not here, the cellar was impermeable, and people were locked inside, how could there be a way to live?

But I'm afraid of Zhao Wen'er's crazy energy, and I don't care about Mama Zhao's life or death.

The Daxing County Commander hurriedly found a candle, lit it, and said to Xue Jinyi: "Princess, just in case, the lower officials will go down to check first, you wait." ”

Xue Jinyi nodded.

The Daxing county commander lifted the hem of his robe, tucked it into his belt, and then cautiously walked down the cellar.

The staircase in the cellar was a few years old, and it seemed that it could be broken at any moment, so he had to be extra careful to avoid unnecessary accidental injuries.

Xue Jinyi stood next to the entrance of the cellar, watching the little firelight gradually sink and illuminate the small world.

Daxing County Ling looked around and shouted: "There are only some wine jars and sauce jars in the cellar, and Mama Zhao is not here." ”

Xue Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go look elsewhere, shall we?" ”

Daxing County Commander did not rush to come up, but carefully checked again, even the wine jar and sauce jar were opened one by one to see, after making sure that the person was not here, only to climb up cautiously, two feet just she stepped firmly on the solid ground, only to hear a "crackling" sound from the cellar, he stretched out the candle to see, it turned out to be a tattered wooden staircase collapsed.

He shook his head and said, "The figures of those people are afraid that they will collapse as soon as they step on them, so they will not be thrown underneath." ”

He checked around this room again, and then went out with Xue Jinyi to check in other rooms.

Xue Jinyi paid attention to every bit of the small courtyard, but after rummaging inside and out, she still couldn't see Mama Zhao.

The Daxing County Commander coughed lightly, "Princess, there is a sentence in the lower official that I don't know if to say or not......

"Say it." Xue Jinyi stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the courtyard.

The Daxing County Commander pondered for a moment before he spoke: "In this case, please be prepared for Mama Zhao to be killed......

Xue Jinyi's heart tightened and she didn't respond.

Daxing County ordered: "Princess, the lower official will send someone here to continue to search for evidence, and then go back to the yamen to interrogate those gangsters." ”

"Hmm." Xue Jinyi thought for a while and added, "You must watch those three people and be careful of any accidents." ”

Daxing County Ling's expression froze, "Xiaguan understands." ”

As the Daxing County Commander led the people and horses to leave, the onlookers at the door of Zhao's house dispersed a little, and some neighbors were whispering, they still felt a chill in the back of their necks, who would have thought that the villain was actually around?

Xue Jinyi stepped forward and asked, "Yesterday and today, did you see anything abnormal in the Zhao family?" ”

A woman shook her head, "The Zhao family is closed on weekdays, and Zhao Wen'er often doesn't give people a good look, so we don't talk to their aunts and nephews very much." Occasionally, Mrs. Zhao goes out to buy vegetables, but most of the time it is Zhao Wen'er, so ...... We didn't see anything either. ”

Xue Jinyi asked again: "Then have you ever seen an ox and horse cart that can transport things pass in front of the door?" ”

The woman and the others looked at each other, then shook their heads, "I haven't seen any." ”

"Thank you." Xue Jinyi nodded to them and returned to the courtyard, "Where did you send people?" ”

She instructed the guards to inquire about the surrounding houses, which ones were empty, and she walked around Zhao's house again, but no matter how carefully she searched, she still couldn't find any clues.

We can only see what news is out there.

Xue Jinyi rubbed her eyebrows, wrapped her robe tightly, and sat on a chair in the courtyard.

After a while, the guards returned, "Princess, the mansion in the north of the Zhao family is empty. ”

"That's it!" Xue Jinyi Huo Ran got up, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
