Yunxue raised her hand high.

Xia Bai'an had already noticed it, and easily swept her arm away, and slightly waved to Qian Mingshu who was behind him: "Third Qian, it's time for us to take Mr. Qi Ming to do some serious business."

"coming."

Qian Mingshu hurriedly followed, and saw Yun Xue in a pile of silk and satin, with sweat on her forehead.

This doesn't look like a small person.

Qi Ming followed, but when he saw Yun Xue before leaving, he stopped and saluted respectfully.

"Miss, more than a dozen human bones were dug up in the pool. The incident happened suddenly. Doctor Xia failed to salute you in time. This subordinate apologizes to you on her behalf."

"idiot."

Yun Xue only left these two words, gave Qi Ming a sidelong glance, and then left angrily.

Qi Ming was at a loss, and kept up with Qian Mingshu and Xia Bai'an step by step, while muttering to himself: "If it wasn't for saluting, why did Miss lose her temper so much with Dr. Xia?"

"What salute?" Qian Mingshu secretly asked Qi Ming, "Who is that lady just now?"

"That's the eldest lady of our Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss Yunxue, haven't you heard Dr. Xia mention it before?"

"..."

Mention a fart!

Qian Mingshu immediately sweated profusely, took a few steps forward and grabbed Xia Bai'an, "You are really not afraid of death, daughter of the prime minister's mansion, you dare to provoke her if you say so! Besides, if she is Yunxue, wouldn't she be with Master?" ..."

"Don't mention her, bad luck. Hurry up and settle the matter of the bones." Xia Bai'an was impatient.

"Isn't the corpse bad luck?"

"Everyone is dead, and the horoscope of birth date is gone, how can we see the bad luck?" Xia Bai'an asked back.

"..."

You are amazing, I can't say enough about you.

Qian Mingshu took several deep breaths to calm his mind, but from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of several people coming out from the side path and heading for the prime minister's mansion, so he grabbed Xia Bai'an's arm again.

Xia Bai'an stopped in his tracks, and asked patiently, "Children Qian Laosan, what's the matter?"

Only a dozen or so steps away, Qian Mingshu has already been caught for the second time!

It's not a child who wants to get lost.

The corner of Qian Mingshu's mouth twitched: "Don't be mean to me, let me ask you, are those your parents?"

"Well, they live in the prime minister's mansion now, and things are more complicated."

"...What else are you hiding from me? Tell me on the way! What is your relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Qian Mingshu was so annoyed that he grabbed Xia Bai'an and shook him non-stop.

Xia Bai'an had no choice but to tell Qian Mingshu everything that happened these days.

Qi Ming followed behind the two, listening to the bickering of the two, hooked the corners of his lips.

This Dr. Xia looks more like a little girl at this age.

Behind the scenes, An Mei and Xia Yuan took advantage of their lunch to go out, inquired about Chi Zhuang's affairs, and hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Yun Xue.

"Miss, you must help us with Chizhuang's affairs!"

Anmei was the first to rush into the room.

When Yun Xue heard this, she immediately frowned, waved her hands away all the maids and servants, and ordered: "Lock the door, and no one is allowed to come in. If anyone hears a word, I will peel her skin!"

The maids and servants trembled all over, retreated tremblingly, and locked the door.

There is no one else in the room.

Only then did Yun Xue stand up slowly, brushed off the broken hair around her ears, and lifted her chin slightly.

"Don't cry all day long and make a fuss, just talk about the business."

"Xue'er." An Mei wiped away her tears at this moment, and leaned over to hold Yun Xue's hand, but was thrown away instead.

"Who is it called! This lady is the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, can a servant girl like you be called like that!"

"Miss."

An Mei gritted her teeth and cried out in pain, "But you are..."

"Don't talk nonsense. I received your letter when I was young, and I have heard about it. The gold and silver tickets given every year are enough for you to squander. Now you are accepted to stay in the prime minister's mansion. It's the best of benevolence." Yun Xue said coldly, "What's the matter with Chizhuang, tell me quickly, don't delay me, I'm going to have a drink with Miss Sun at night."

An Mei's face changed again and again, seeing Yun Xue's indifferent expression, she couldn't say a word.

Xia Yuan on the side couldn't see it, and finally stepped forward.

"Chizhuang's life is related to us."

……

On the outskirts of Beijing, Chizhuang.

Xia Bai'an was alone, from noon to evening, identified one by one, put together more than a dozen corpses and placed them in the courtyard.

Qi Ming was followed by more than a dozen people who were temporarily dispatched, all staring at the dozens of bones in astonishment.

Xia Bai'an half squatted on the ground, put the last piece of skull away, and rubbed the cheekbones of the skull with his green fingers.

"This person seemed to bump into his face in a panic, and his cheekbones collided slightly. Lord Qi, and all the adults, have you recorded the differences of each corpse one by one?"

She raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were calm, but she asked seriously.

The few literati behind Mr. Qi were writing like flying, holding a lot of paper in their hands, and couldn't help but say.

"It's a shame for a girl not to work as a servant in the yamen."

"I have written it all down. There are more than ten people in total. More than half of them were burned by the fire. The rest seem to have fled in a hurry, with traces on their bodies. In the end, the internal organs should be poisoned. Then a good bone removal expert was brought over, leaving only the bones , there is still residual poison to be found.”

Another literati said so, looking up to confirm.

Xia Bai'an nodded slightly: "That's almost the case. It can be seen that these people were not burnt to death by accident. I'd like to ask Mr. Qi to investigate carefully."

Qi Ming frowned.

"So many people died in such a strange way, so no one reported it to the authorities?"

"No." The literati behind shook his head, "The current governor is Mr. Sun Yuzhou. The new official took office, cleared up files, and sorted out suspicious cases. I went to investigate before I left the city. There was no such case, and no one reported it. official."

"It's not surprising." Xia Bai'an stood up slowly, and washed his hands in the clean water Mo Qian sent. "The two methods of killing people are both for the purpose of destroying the corpses. The only people left should run away. And these bones are hidden in the Deep underground, there are unwarranted underground caves in other places, it can be seen that it has been planned for a long time, and it is difficult to investigate."

Hearing this, several literati nodded one after another.

Qi Ming asked people to sort the bones into different categories, while he himself stepped forward, "Where is the cave you are talking about?"

"There is another one in the house in the front yard. Brother Wang Mang, can you open the hole now so we can go down and have a look?"

Xia Bai'an waved to Wang Mang, Li Fugui and others from a distance.

Wang Mang nodded, and called a few brothers to dig a hole in the ground.

Mo Qian worried: "Mother, this cave just collapsed, if you go down and be buried at this time..."

Xia Bai'an touched his head: "It doesn't matter, the caves that are about to collapse will only collapse completely because people are buried underneath and the soil has been loosened. As long as no one has been buried in the remaining caves, they will not collapse. And , even if it were to collapse, it would not wait until today.”
