The vicious female supporting character who is stalked by the villain

In the novel, Su Xiangguo mentioned it, and the case of missing children in Jiangzhou was finally found out by the prefect Fang. It was the manipulation of people by Taishi Li, with the purpose of making an "elixir".

There was a magician under Taishi Li who was good at making elixirs. It happened that the emperor was unwell at that time, so Taishi Li asked the emperor to refine the elixir in order to please the emperor.

This elixir is extremely poisonous. It is a red elixir made from lead, supplemented by the apex blood of more than a dozen children, and refined for ninety-nine and eighty-one days.

As soon as this incident came out, the government and the public were shocked.

The magistrate Fang, who was far away in Jiangzhou, specifically appealed to the court. However, the emperor had already taken the elixir and even liked it, so the matter was settled in the end.

The emperor's attitude towards this matter chilled many ministers. They and Su Xiangguo remonstrated many times, but in the end, even Su Xiangguo was suspended from office for half a year by the emperor. Therefore, many people resigned and returned to their hometowns after that. For a while, only the villains who followed the trend were left in the court, and it was a mess.

This also led to Lin Xue's assassination in Kyoto and the bloodbath of the royal family. It was very easy because the villain officials at that time were all just trying to escape for their own lives, and they were in chaos.

Su Xiang let out a long sigh of relief.

This incident was the trigger for Cang Kingdom's decline.

This Taishi Li really didn't waste his reputation as a traitor. Su Xiang specially gave Lin Xueman the list he had obtained from the Grand Master's Mansion and asked him to watch and solve it.

Unexpectedly, not long after this, Taishi Li became impatient. He even thought of using elixir to win over the emperor's heart in advance. It seemed that the imperial doctor had brought him a sense of crisis.

Lin Xue'an never let go of the expression on Su Xiang's face. Seeing her look of realization, she couldn't help but ask: "Do you know what's going on?"

"Yeah." Su Xiang nodded, "I also suddenly remembered it."

"How to say?"

"It's almost as you guessed. Someone deliberately captured children to use as medicine. Send someone to find out where in Jiangzhou is Taishi Li's sphere of influence. There should be clues there."

"Master Li? Li Xun?" Lin Xue squinted secretly and looked at Su Xiang with an inquiring look.

"Is this what you will know in the future? Su Xiang, sometimes I am really curious as to why you are so different from the you Fang Muxi and the others knew in their previous life."

Su Xiang was shocked, but his face remained calm.

"People change, don't they?"

"Yeah..." Lin Xue secretly sighed and touched Su Xiang's face, "I'm very lucky. It was me who met you now, not the me in the previous life..."

Su Xiang was surprised that Lin Xueman would say this, but before she could say anything, Lin Xueman put down her hand.

"I will ask someone to investigate this matter, and I will let you know if there are any clues."

"Okay." Su Xiang nodded, "As soon as possible, I'm worried that those children will die soon..."

Lin Xue secretly nodded to her, turned around and jumped out of the window, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Lin Xue'an worked very efficiently.

The next morning, while Su Xiang and Mrs. Fang went out to visit the market, he had found clues and gave Su Xiang a note through Gao Lan.

After Su Xiang received the clue, he took a brief look at Mrs. Fang when she wasn't paying attention, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

I really found it...

Next it was time to test Su Xiang’s acting skills.

As soon as he returned to the magistrate's residence, Su Xiang winked at Qingyun. Qingyun had already planned on Su Xiang and nodded.

She stepped forward with a smile and saluted Mrs. Fang, "Mrs. Fang, there is an interesting snack at Liushang Qushuilou in Kyoto, called honey cake. It is fluffy and soft, with the fragrance of honey, and can be preserved for ten years in cold weather. If the weather is good, you can take and eat whatever you want. If you are interested, I would like to give you a taste."

Mrs. Fang's eyes widened in surprise, "Honey...cake? What kind of snack is this? It's indeed a bit curious."

Mrs. Fang was addicted to milk tea last night. She also tasted Qingyun's craftsmanship in the morning and was very interested in it.

Su Xiang took advantage of the situation and said to Mrs. Fang: "Auntie, this cake is very popular in Liushang Qushui Tower, and the secret recipe is not easily passed on to outsiders. Why don't you go see how Qingyun makes it, so that you can make some for your uncle to try?"

Su Xiang now has more wealth than he can spend in several lifetimes, and he no longer cares about those snack recipes. What's more, some food can make loved ones happy, which is the biggest role of food.

This was exactly what Mrs. Fang wanted, and she nodded quickly.

"Okay, then I'll go over and take a look. I think you must come over during lunch. Auntie will also show her hands to you to taste."

Su Xiang smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

Qingyun glanced at Su Xiang and led Mrs. Fang and the others to the kitchen.

When they left, Su Xiang slowly put away his smile, turned around and walked out of the house with Gao Lan.

"Let's go find the prefect."

"Yes."

The prefect was looking through the files in the prefect's office with his eyebrows furrowed, looking for clues about the case. Unexpectedly, an official suddenly ran in and said.

"Sir, someone is looking for you at the door. The girl said her name is... Su Xiang."

"Think about it?" Magistrate Fang was puzzled.

What do you want to do?

Magistrate Fang stood up and said, "Please come in quickly."

"Yes!"

After a while, Su Xiang hurried in. Her face turned slightly pale and she looked panicked.

"Uncle... prefect! The daughter of the people has something important to report!"

After saying that, she looked at some of the officials around her with a look of fear.

When Magistrate Fang heard that it was an "important matter" and saw how cautious she was, he quickly waved the others away.

"You all go down and guard the door so no one can come in."

After everyone left, Su Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Magistrate Fang, "Uncle, when I went shopping today, someone secretly pushed this to me... Wait until I finish reading what is written on the paper. The clues I found were actually related to those missing children cases... I was so scared that I came to you quickly!"

"what?!"

Magistrate Fang couldn't care less, took the paper and read it carefully.

The note clearly stated: There are traces of missing children in Qiongyu Villa in Jiangzhou!

Magistrate Fang raised his head and stared at Su Xiang, confirming again, "Xiang'er, are you sure someone else gave it to you suddenly? Do you know that person?"

Su Xiang shook his head hurriedly, "I don't know that person! There were many people at the time, so the person bumped into me and ran away. When I realized what I was doing, I already had this note in my hand. Gao Lan can testify for me!"

Magistrate Fang's eyes were like sharp swords shooting at Gao Lan, and Gao Lan nodded hurriedly and replied.

"Yes! That's right! Originally, everyone had returned to the magistrate's mansion, but the young lady suddenly wanted to go out and want to buy some rouge and gouache. There were too many people on the street, so things happened suddenly. The servant wanted to chase her, but unfortunately she disappeared. "

Su Xiang pretended to be frightened and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, applauding Gao Lan in his heart.

Not bad! Gao Lan also knew how to polish her excuses!

Magistrate Fang glanced at the two of them inquiringly, then looked down at the note, and then clenched it tightly.

"Forget it! No matter what the intention of the person who wrote the note is, let's take a look and find out the authenticity!"

The most important thing now is to find the child! A dead horse becomes a live doctor!

The prefect turned around and strode out. With a wave of his hand, he gave a solemn order: "Come here! Call some thirty people and follow me to Qiongyu Villa!"
