Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Hongxiu informed Liang'an, and Liang'an acted as a sounding board and immediately reported back to Xie Zhao.

In the room, Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu did the same thing. He frowned at the blood stains on the handkerchief.

"If a person dies, not more than three days."

The room had been cleaned, and the layer of dust was caused by deliberately opening the windows for ventilation.

Xie Zhao heard that Jiang Yuzhu had also discovered it. He pondered for a moment and said: "Go and tell Madam to be careful. That guy is a death row prisoner wanted by the Yamen. Even though he is disguised, the hairy black mole on his neck betrays him."

The matter was important, and Liang An was afraid that he might make a mistake in conveying the message, so he suggested, "Master, why don't you go and inform Madam?"

Madam is a woman after all, and when she goes out and gets into trouble with desperadoes, she is probably in a panic right now.

If the clerk notices it, the group may take action in advance.

Xie Zhao paused and thought Liang An was right.

When he arrived in the room, Hong Jin was alone.

Hong Jin saluted Xie Zhao and said, "Master, Madam has taken Hong Xiu to the kitchen."

On New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve dinner still needs to be prepared.

On the day of leaving Beijing, Jiang Mansion sent several semi-finished dishes, such as fried meatballs, fish balls, and shrimps, all of which needed secondary processing.

Xie Zhao walked around to the kitchen and saw Jiang Yuzhu staring at the meat in the basin in a daze.

"Ma'am, are you preparing stew or dumplings?"

In Dali, the custom in Beijing is to eat dumplings.

Xie Zhao kept things simple when he was away from home, but considering not to wrong Jiang Yuzhu, he came to the kitchen to help.

Eat and drink well, and have some busy work at night.

Jiang Yuzhu winked at Hongxiu, and Hongxiu immediately understood and went to the door to look out.

"Master, I just want to make dumplings, but I'm afraid you won't dare to eat them."

Jiang Yuzhu pointed at the meat in the basin, showing a deep thought.

When checking into the inn, the waiter mentioned it casually.

Originally, she didn't take it to heart.

After discovering blood stains in the room, Jiang Yuzhu went around to check the terrain and was already alert.

Xie Zhao pursed his lips, touched the meat in the basin with his hands, and examined the texture.

"How did Madam find out?"

The meat has been washed with water and the smell of blood is gone.

As Jiang Yuzhu said, Xie Zhao didn't dare to eat it. If he saw correctly, this piece was human flesh, or the buttocks.

"Master, I said that I like to read the miscellaneous books in your study, and I didn't just say it."

As a couple living under the same roof, some changes are inevitable.

It was tiring to keep hiding and keep making excuses for lies. Jiang Yuzhu had no intention of hiding it.

Xie Zhao stopped asking, and the two of them looked away in tacit agreement and searched for blood stains in the kitchen again.

Finally, I found a few more places in the gaps on the ground beside the water tank.

There were heavy footsteps at the kitchen door.

The couple looked at each other, and Jiang Yuzhu was panicked.

Although she has helped solve many major and important cases, she has never dealt with a very vicious person head-on.

Obviously, she and Xie Zhao were both involved in this group of people's plans.

If it is discovered, the man and the person behind him will attack in advance, which will catch him off guard.

"Miss Hongxiu, why are you standing at the kitchen door and not going in?"

The waiter smiled and said hello, with a look of inquiry deep in his eyes.

Hongxiu made a silent gesture and said openly, "My husband and wife are inside."

The couple found a place to be alone without being disturbed by others.

The guy obviously didn't believe it, so he rushed in.

Seeing that someone was about to come in, Jiang Yuzhu hugged Xie Zhao's waist and whispered, "I'm sorry."

After finishing speaking, she buried herself in Xie Zhao's arms, looking shy.

From Jiang Yuzhu's angle, you can see the hard lines of Xie Zhao's jaw.

Xie Zhao's breath was hot, and Jiang Yuzhu became unbearable.

This is what the waiter saw when he broke into the kitchen.

Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu didn't seem to notice that there was a stranger around, and acted as if no one was around.

The faces of the two were very close, and Jiang Yuzhu's lips had a slight glimmer of water, like delicious cherries. Xie Zhao swallowed unconsciously, his eyebrows deep.

"excuse me."

When the guy saw this, he happily exited the door.

You don’t have to worry about being a romantic devil, I’ll send the couple on their way tonight!

The guy left for a while before Xie Zhao came back to his senses.

Jiang Yuzhu's nervous heart was pounding. For a moment, she thought Xie Zhao was going to take action!

However, it did not.

Maybe he doesn't like women?Maybe he just doesn't like her.

In the book, Xie Zhaoshi practiced abstinence. Jiang Yuzhu no longer thought about it, but asked: "Master, what are your plans?"

Life was at stake, and Jiang Yuzhu had to pay attention.

There are only two people in the inn, the shopkeeper and the waiter. If there are many people behind them, the risk of a head-on confrontation is high, so escaping is the best way.

"Madam, I have to humiliate you and my husband to be in the same room tonight."

Xie Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart and couldn't help but doubt his own determination.

His hands were clenched into fists, and veins appeared on the backs of his hands. He used all his self-control to control himself.

"This guy Jia San is a death row prisoner wanted by the Yamen."

Xie Zhao told Jiang Yuzhu the details of the story.

Jia San was a mountain bandit with a cruel temper. Every time he went down the mountain to rob merchants, the men would be killed and the women would go up the mountain to destroy them with their brothers.

"Two years ago, Jia San acted too arrogantly, which aroused the anger of the people. Some people went to the capital to file a complaint."

When the incident broke out, the Yamen of Qunma County had no choice but to organize thousands of people to surround and suppress the stronghold and capture Jia San alive.

"Master, isn't Jia San dead?"

Jiang Yuzhu was a little impressed.

She and Xie Zhao were already married at that time, and Xie Zhao did not return home for more than two months because of Jia San.

The couple never saw each other.

Xie Zhao kept his secret and said: "That's the problem."

Jia San was sent to Dali Temple and sentenced to death, and he was indeed beheaded that day.

Afterwards, Xie Zhao always felt that things went too smoothly and suspected that there was something fishy in it.

He went to do an autopsy on Jia San and found that the mole on Jia San's neck was fake, and that someone was dead.

Jiang Yuzhu ate a melon and felt that the water inside was very deep.

Judging from Jia San's behavior, the person behind it must have a pair of huge black hands.

Is the change in the tightly guarded Dali Temple Yamen related to Xu Ping, the minister of Dali Temple?

Xie Zhao rubbed his brows and said slightly tiredly: "It's hard to say. Back then, this group of people had too clean hands and feet, and they didn't leave any clues inside or outside."

Xie Zhao even searched for information about the scapegoat, but couldn't find a way to start.

Unexpectedly, when they met more than two years later, Jia San appeared again at the inn in Qunshan County.

Although Jia San was disguised and his face looked nothing like the person before, Xie Zhao still recognized the mole on his neck with sharp eyes.

"Jia San is just a little guy. This time he is used as bait to lure the big fish to the bait."

After Xie Zhao finished speaking, he saluted Jiang Yuzhu and said, "My wife came with my husband and was implicated."

"It's easy to talk, it's not your fault."

Jiang Yuzhu is a reasonable person. Although she made some small mistakes, the big mistake is still Xiao She's fault.

Wait, as long as she finds the opportunity, she will definitely return it.

Jiang Yuzhu has already written down Xiao She's crimes in a small notebook.
