Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Lu Xuande and his family disappeared.

Ningxin was bought by someone.

The houses in Xishui Village were turned upside down.

Li Jinglan wrote down these three things on paper.

Start thinking about the people and things in your past life.

Think of the names of the ministers who were exiled.

I just thought of a few names, but they didn't seem right.

Not all exiled ministers were necessarily enemies.

Some were framed by Lu Bozhou's opponents, and some were against Lu Bozhou.

If she classified them as enemies, she would have too many people to deal with.

“Who benefits from this?”

The prince's name emerged in Li Jinglan's mind.

The emperor was a man with a strong desire for power and never gave any power to the prince.

The prince is surrounded by great scholars, but no nobles or military officers.

Great scholars are all upright and strong people. If they knew Lu Bozhou's identity, they would definitely make a scene in the court.

The court was quiet and no one was making a fuss, which proved that the prince didn't know.

Since the prince doesn't know the truth, there is no need for him to deal with Lu Bozhou.

Therefore, the prince's suspicion was ruled out.

Who should this person be?

At this time, Zhao Zhengyi's family reported: "Jingzhao Prefecture has sent someone over."

The person who came from Jingzhao Prefecture was the advisor of Prefect Ouyang.

"According to the investigation by the yamen runners, it was determined that Lu Xuande's family had been missing for about six days. The missing people included Lu Zhang, Lu Xuande and his wife, and two concubines."

The lawyer took out a confession.

Li Jinglan took it.

The confession was very detailed, and all of Lu Xuande's neighbors were questioned.

From this confession, we learned that seven days ago, someone saw Lu Xuande returning home, and then one of his concubines went out to take out the trash.

After that, no one saw anyone from Lu Xuande's family again.

"Disappeared for six days?" Li Jinglan thought to herself.

Then she asked the master: "Why is there a dead body in the room?"

"We have considered many possibilities, but we can't figure out why the criminals would leave the body behind," the lawyer replied.

Li Jinglan did not blame the lawyer. Being able to find out so much information in one day, the Jingzhao Prefecture had already done its best.

It’s impossible to solve a case in just one or two days.

Li Jinglan asked again: "Whose body is that? Have you found out?"

The lawyer nodded and said, "He is a ruffian in Beijing. He is aggressive and aggressive. We are investigating his interpersonal relationships."

The master said this with a wry smile: "The main problem now is the whereabouts of Lu Xuande's family. If we can find out how Lu Xuande's family disappeared, maybe this case can be solved."

Yes!

Missing for six days.

No one can be seen in life, no corpse in death.

There was a criminal's body left in the house.

Did Lu Xuande's family go to heaven and hell?

Just as Li Jinglan was deep in thought.

The corner gate of the front yard of Zhuangyuan Mansion opened.

Two carriages drove out slowly.

The two Taoists sitting on the shaft of the cart were holding swords, looking lazy.

The carriage traveled through the bustling streets of the capital.

About half an hour after leaving the city, several Taoists appeared from the roadside, "No one is following us."

Xu Jingchen ordered the carriage to stop by the roadside, jumped on the horse brought by his followers, and galloped towards a farm.

After arriving at Zhuangzi, Xu Jingchen jumped off his horse and handed the reins to his attendant: "How many days have you been hungry?"

"Four days," the attendant replied.

Xu Jingchen walked to a door.

The windows of the house were all boarded up.

Not a single ray of light could penetrate.

When the door was opened, a foul smell came out of the house.

Ning Xin, who was imprisoned in the room, was hungry and thirsty. She raised her head when she heard the door open.

At a glance, I saw Xu Jingchen standing at the door.

The sun shines behind Xu Jingchen, and he is like a god.

Ning Xin cried softly: "Please, give me something to eat."

Xu Jingchen took the tray from his attendant, which contained steamed buns and water.

He just sat cross-legged on the ground, not minding the dirt at all.

Asked softly: "Want it?"

Ning Xin looked at Xu Jingchen who was standing against the light and nodded vigorously: "I want it."

"What year and month was Lu Bozhou born?" Xu Jingchen broke off a piece of the steamed bun and put it in his mouth, chewing it gently.

Ning Xin swallowed her saliva and said, "Before the marriage, his birth date and horoscope were given to the Li family to be compared with Li Jinglan's. You should ask the Li family. Li Jinglan must know."

Xu Jingchen broke off a larger steamed bun and put it in his mouth, and took a sip of the water in the bowl. "When was Lu Bozhou born?"

Ning Xin stared at Xu Jingchen blankly.

This man is handsome, but his heart is like a devil.

After she was redeemed from her home, she thought she would live a good life from then on.

The result was that he locked her in this room and ignored her.

No matter how she shouted and screamed, no one responded.

She was hungry for four days and four nights.

And now this devil was sitting in front of her, eating the steamed bun bite by bite.

Ning Xin swallowed again: "Give me a bite to eat, and I'll tell you everything."

Xu Jingchen took another bite of the bun, but instead of handing it to Ningxin, he ate it again and repeated, "When was Lu Bozhou born?"

Is this the only question you'll ask?

Ningxin almost couldn't control herself from cursing.

Her lips trembled. "I really don't know his horoscope. I only know that when they were discussing marriage, Lu Bozhou's horoscope was sent to the Li family. The Li family compared it and said that the two of them were a good match."

Xu Jingchen was not satisfied with this answer at all.

Seeing Xu Jingchen taking another bite of the steamed bun, Ning became anxious and dug out a memory from her mind, "One day, the mistress and the master talked about Dalang, saying that Dalang was born in the capital."

"Then they seemed to notice I was listening and stopped talking about it."

Xu Jingchen broke off a small piece of the steamed bun and flicked his fingers.

The steamed bun fell in front of Ning Xin.

Ningxin grabbed the steamed bun and wolfed it down.

After taking a small bite of the steamed bun, her hunger was not relieved but it made her stomach hurt even more.

"Give me a drink of water."

"Where in the capital were you born?" Xu Jingchen broke off another piece of steamed bun and put it into his mouth.

The steamed bun was not big to begin with, and if you eat more, there would be no more.

Ning Xin was extremely anxious. "It's the foot shop! They didn't have a house when they first arrived in the capital."

Xu Jingchen broke off another piece of the bun and played with it in his hands, "The name of the foot shop, the name of the shopkeeper."

Ning Xin's eyes followed Xu Jingchen's hand, her eyes pleading with greed: "It seems to be some river, what was it? Oh, it's Sanjiang, Sanjiang Foot Shop."

"Give it to me, give me the bun, please."

Xu Jingchen flicked the small piece of steamed bun in his hand over with his finger.

Ning Xin stuffed it into her mouth and said, "Go ahead and ask. What else do you want to ask?"

Xu Jingchen had already stood up.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Ning Xin, as if he was looking at a dog wagging its tail on the ground begging for mercy.

Lift your feet.

Went out.

Ningxin pounced towards the food plate on the ground.

But there are people who are faster than her.

Before she pounced on the food tray, the attendant outside the door had already picked up the food tray and closed the door.

"No! Give me the food, give it to me! Please, I can answer anything you want to ask."

"Let me tell you, Li Jinglan has a daughter outside. Her sister said this herself."

"Lu Bozhou already knew the test questions! Li Jinglan's brother Li Pengxuan also knew about this, and Li Pengxuan has evidence in his hands."

"They are not good people! They are really not good people. Why don't you arrest them?"

Xu Jingchen didn't even frown.

Go to the next room.

The man in the next room stood up and said, "It's all been recorded."

The person recording it hesitated for a moment and asked: "Should we record the story about my daughter and the cheating in the imperial examination?"

"Record it truthfully." Xu Jingchen finished reading Ningxin's records of the past few days and threw them back on the table.

"Start questioning other people. If the name of Sanjiang Foot Shop is also in their confession, arrest them overnight."

"If there is no Sanjiang Foot Shop, torture Ningxin. If she doesn't answer truthfully, kill her."

Another follower bowed and said, "Recently, the Inspectorate seems to be wary of us. Yesterday, I saw an inspector lurking around the village."

Xu Jingchen said calmly, "Mobilize armored personnel to patrol nearby. Anyone who approaches will be killed directly by military law without warning!"

After saying this, Xu Jingchen walked out of the house.

There were several soldiers in Taoist robes standing in the yard.

After seeing Xu Jingchen coming out, the soldiers were ashamed: "General, we messed up."

Xu Jingchen looked at these people coldly, "Each of you will receive ten military sticks."

It's right to be beaten for not doing the job well.

The soldiers were just a little dissatisfied.

"We kept watching them, but Lu Xuande and his family disappeared without anyone noticing."

Xu Jingchen looked down at the feet of several soldiers, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes gleaming coldly: "Funeral procession."

at the same time.

Li Jinglan also wrote four words on the paper.

Funeral procession.
