"Then how do we explain the deaths of these villagers?" The guard asked cautiously: Hundreds of villagers in one village were slaughtered, but once a shocking case is reported, the whole country will be shocked...
"Isn't the murderer already lying here? Take their bodies back and close the case!" Wei Jinxian casually glanced at the two dead men, turned around, and walked out slowly, his black and purple clothes flicking past him. The blood-stained ground is indescribably mysterious and weird.
"Yes!" The guard replied in a deep voice: the two dead men knew at a glance that they were accomplices, not masterminds, but the duke didn't want to investigate further, and they didn't bother to pay attention...
"Duke, that Murong Xue is very arrogant, do you want to be humble..." The guard made a 'click' gesture.
"No need for the time being, the Governor has his own concerns!" Wei Jinxian said lightly, a sharp cold light flashed in the bottom of his eyes.
Murong Xue walked out of Yang Village and got into the carriage back to Beijing. Looking at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window, her beautiful willow eyebrows frowned tightly: "Those two dead soldiers were only ordered to kill that personal soldier. Why? Slaughter the entire Yang Village?"
Ouyang Shaochen pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "It should be to completely silence the story. The soldier has lived in Yangcun for ten years. Who knows if he has told the neighbors what happened back then..."
"That's true!" Murong Xue nodded, her eyes were dark: "Even the old and the weak, women and children will not be spared. The mastermind behind the scenes is really ruthless, but...how did he know that I came to Yang Village to find someone?" In front, the entire Yang Village was slaughtered.
"Have you forgotten the big commotion you made last night?" Ouyang Shaochen glanced at her contemptuously: "Your father's military registration file was stolen, and the mastermind behind the scenes cleverly guessed that someone had doubts about your father's death. Let's act first and get rid of the soldiers who know about it..."
Murong Xue's cold eyes narrowed sharply. The military records are not extremely confidential documents. If they are lost, people from the military department can make up for them quietly. Everyone who will never make a fuss knows that that person was able to Finding out the truth in such a short period of time, his identity is definitely not easy...
"The mastermind behind the scenes...couldn't be Wei Jinxian?" After all, he had always kept a low profile like an invisible man before, and never showed up in the capital. Now, the first time he left Beijing, he came to Yangcun, which was slaughtered. No matter how you look at it, it's a bit suspicious...
Ouyang Shaochen shook his head: "Probably not. Wei Jinxian was originally a famous son in the capital. Because of the decline of his family, he just entered the palace and served as a servant. He has basically nothing to do with your father. He became the Dugong six years ago, and he was just a little-known servant ten years ago, he didn't have that much ability to buy your father's personal soldiers."
Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, and looked at Ouyang Shaochen with a half-smile: "You have investigated the matter of Wei Jinzhong very clearly."
Ouyang Shaochen said without changing his face: "The governor of the East Factory has always been frightening. Out of curiosity, I asked the hidden guards to check..."
Murong Xue curled her lips, and found out all the nine clans and eighteen generations of Wei Jinzhong's family in one search. The ability of the hidden guards of Xiaoyao Palace is really daunting...
"Those two men in black who fought against the humble staff are real dead men, not from Dongchang." Wuhen outside the carriage said suddenly.
Murong Xue nodded understandingly. Wei Jinxian controls Dongchang. If he wants to employ people, he can be directly dispatched from Dongchang. There is no need to raise dead soldiers. The mastermind behind ordering people to massacre the villagers of Yangcun is indeed not him...
"Next, what are your plans?" Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, taking a sip of tea.
Murong Xue blinked her eyes: "The soldier is dead, the clues are broken, and I can't think of any starting point for a while, go back to Zhen Guohou's Mansion, recharge your energy for a few days, think hard, and then make a plan. "
"That's fine." Ouyang Shaochen nodded, his deep eyes swept across the scenery outside the window, and said lightly: "The residence of Zhen Guohou is here."
Murong Xue looked sideways and saw a mansion, the four big characters of Zhen Guohou's Mansion were shining brightly in the sun, she had arrived home.
Thinking of those 'relatives' who lived at home, Murong Xue's pretty eyebrows frowned slightly: "My lord, I have only come back after being away from the mansion for so long, the mansion must be 'chaotic', I won't keep you today, if you are free some other day, I invite you to drink tea again..."
"Okay." Ouyang Shaochen nodded, and an imperceptible smile flashed in his obsidian pupils: "In the Hou's residence, be careful."
"I know!" Murong Xue nodded, got out of the carriage slowly, stood in front of the Hou's mansion, and watched Ouyang Shaochen's carriage turn around and disappear. Move forward.
Far away, hearing a burst of laughter, Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, followed the prestige, and saw Du Shi, Murong Jian, Murong Rou, Zhou Shi, and Murong Ji sitting around the stone table in the garden talking happily , kind grandmother, amiable parents, lively and lovely children and grandchildren, it is really a happy family.
Murong Xue curled her lips, pretending she didn't see them, and walked slowly towards Luoxue Pavilion.
Murong Ji saw her with sharp eyes, and shouted in surprise: "Oh, my cousin is back."
The eyes of Du Shi, Murong Jian, and Murong Rou fell on Murong Xue in an instant, the amiable smiles disappeared without a trace, and the unconcealable displeasure and disgust flashed in their eyes...
Murong Xue turned a blind eye to Shi Shi and walked along Qingshi Road, completely ignoring their intentions.
Mrs. Du's complexion was gloomy for an instant, she looked at her coldly and said: "Murong Xue, as the daughter of the prime minister, you turn a blind eye when seeing elders, who taught you this?"
Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, paused, and looked at Mrs. Du: "Step-grandmother, we are tired of looking at each other. This greeting should not be good, otherwise, if there is a disagreement, we will fight. Hou Mansion, isn't it going to turn the sky upside down..."
"You... good, good..." Du Shi gasped, said three good words in a row, pointed at Murong Xue and said, "You disappeared for a few months for no reason, and you are angry with me as soon as you come back. How could our Murong family give birth to you so arrogant and domineering?" Your junior? You don’t want your own boudoir reputation, but don’t implicate others!”
Murong Xue blinked her eyes: "I'm the only girl in the Zhenguohou Mansion's generation, so who am I going to implicate? Besides, our female boudoirs in the Zhenguohou Mansion have ruined your daughter long ago? What? Is it my turn to be corrupted?"
Du Shi's eyes blazed with raging anger, he glared at Murong Xue fiercely and said, "Why are you talking? How are you talking?"
"Am I wrong? Murong Rou is ruthless, has an affair with others, conceived wild seeds, and murdered her own husband. No one in the entire Qingyan capital knows. No one knows. I walked all the way just now, and there are still people talking about it on the street. …”
