Sitting at the table, recalling the past, thinking and talking.

"The court lady is the same as me. Her surname is Su, and her name is Taohua. Everyone in our village is surnamed Su, and there are few foreign surnames. Moreover, I grew up with Taohua since I was a child. Looking at the portrait in Young Master Yan's hand, I immediately recognized her as Peach Blossom."

"She has no parents, but she has a younger brother who is three years younger than her. If nothing happens, she will be sixteen this year. We were neighbors when we were young, and the two of them lived with their uncles and aunts. Not very good, there is a son who is about the same age as her younger brother, and he treats their siblings very badly, beating and scolding them often, and often not giving them food."

"Peach Blossom grew up hard, and her human nature is very tenacious. At that time, I often played with her, and I would share some food and drink with her. She is very kind, and she knows how to be grateful. She always said that in the future If I get better, I will definitely not forget me, and I told my younger brother to treat me well. I was three years older than him, and I only took it as a child's words at that time. I didn't take it seriously. As long as I can take care of their sisters, I will take care of them a little bit."

"Later, her aunt heard that there was an official who came to choose a palace lady, and she wanted to send Peach Blossom for a sum of money. I heard that she had wanted to sell Peach Blossom a long time ago, but she didn't move because she was afraid that people would gossip. Taohua sent her away, and I didn’t visit her again. Her younger brother became more and more quiet. I gave him something, and he would take it and say thank you. He just accepts beatings and scolding from his aunt."

"I got married later, and I don't know too much about the later things. Once when I went back to my mother's house, I heard my mother say that the neighbor next door died, and the fire caught fire at night and all three members of the family burned to death. I asked my mother if it was true. Four people? Why a family of three? My mother said that only three died, two older and one younger. I don’t know if the younger one is their own son or nephew. They are all burnt and cannot be recognized. The other one I don’t know what’s going on if I don’t see anyone alive or dead.”

"I felt a little strange at the time, but I didn't think too much about it, because I was very happy after not going home for a long time, and I talked with my mother for a long time before falling asleep. I was thinking about my father-in-law's body. After one day, the third day passed I left. But within two days of returning home, I received a letter saying that my parents were dead, and the whole village was burned down by the fire, and no one came out alive.”

Speaking of this, Su Xiaoshi wiped away her tears, "I went home after my parents' funeral. I couldn't eat and couldn't sleep. My father-in-law was not in good health. I heard noises in the yard and went out to see. There was no one. The bag, the bag was full of gold. I was scared at the time, and I didn’t dare to use it, and I didn’t dare to tell my father-in-law for fear that he would be worried, and I didn’t know who to discuss this kind of thing with. I got thieves and the gold disappeared, I patted my chest and felt relieved, the gold and silver were originally ill-gotten gains, and I felt much more at ease when they were scattered, so I didn’t think about anything else.”

"Later... news came suddenly that my man died, followed by my father-in-law... and then I met you..."

Su Xiaoshi wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "I know I have a bad family background, and my status as a widow is not good. You guys think it's inconvenient to take me with you. But I don't know who to follow except you. I dream at night... I'm always afraid. …My mother taught me to repay my kindness since I was a child. I thought that if you helped me, I would do something for you. My son, if you feel that you don’t want me anymore, or let me go for a few more days, the barrier in my heart will disappear, and I will leave. It’s nothing. But Xiaoshi’s gratitude is really sincere, without any side thoughts I want to, and I want you to understand, my lord."

After speaking, Baba looked at Mo Yixuan and Long Yan.

Mo Yixuan sighed, knowing that human nature is not bad, so he said, "We have no intention of driving you away. You are a girl, lonely, and it is hard to go anywhere. His family is very big," he pointed Long Yan, "There are many places to employ people, so you just follow. If one day you don't get used to it and want to leave, just let me know."

"Thank you, son—" Su Xiaoshi knelt down and kowtowed, her softness and red eyes really seemed to make a man feel distressed.

Long Yan rubbed his chin, thinking that he is the real master, he is the biggest here, isn't this little poem the most winky and sensible, why did he just kowtow to ask Mo Yixuan to agree and didn't ask him?

He didn't even think about it, it was because Xiaoshi was smart that he came to Mo Yixuan, Long Yan was soft-hearted, if Mo Yixuan said no and would be unhappy to see her, it would be no wonder he didn't drive her away!

Mo Yixuan stood up and walked back and forth twice, "You said, one of the children in that family is still alive, but I'm not sure who it is?"

"Yes." Su Xiaoshi nodded.

"The government can investigate the fire in your village? Did you tell me the reason?"

"It is said that there was a thunderstorm at night, and there was a wildfire."

"Then it's impossible for the whole village to die, and none of them escaped... No matter how small the village is, there are always some people who sleep and wake up at night..." Mo Yixuan frowned slightly, touching the teacups in his hands. Yan, "You said you got a bag of gold, but did you look carefully, what's the difference between the gold?"

"I hadn't seen gold at all before, and I couldn't really tell the difference."

"Then... the bag of gold? Is there something special about it?"

Su Xiaoshi thought for a while, "Not really...it seems..."

"So after hearing this, you decided to come here to have a look?" Mo Yixuan asked Long Yan.

Long Yan lazily sipped his tea and nodded, "I thought maybe there would be some clues if I came here. When the assassin kept showing up, I was more sure that there would be clues when I came. Nothing else."

"Oh?" Mo Yixuan became interested, "The other party is so anxious about a portrait. I think there must be something in this portrait." After he finished speaking, he thought about it, and he had shown him the portrait when he first came to Longyan. He didn't find anything wrong, and frowned again.

"Xiaoshi, brother Taohua, do you still remember what is special about him? What makes him different from others?"

Su Xiaoshi turned her head and thought, "Except for being too quiet, there's nothing else... Ah, yes, there is a strange birthmark on his arm, like a coiled snake."

"Snake?" Mo Yixuan and Long Yan looked at each other, and Long Yan ordered someone to take out the painting and unfold it——

really.

I don't know who painted the portrait. The painting is relatively rough, and the person is quite small. There are scenes around it, making the person even smaller.After looking carefully, I found that the child's sleeves were rolled up very high, and there was a small pattern on the arm, which didn't look big at first glance, and I thought it was ink stains accidentally. When I looked carefully, no, this should be It's a coiled snake!

Mo Yixuan smiled, and asked Su Xiaoshi, "Do you still remember, what's that child's name?"

"Remember." Su Xiaoshi smiled, "His name is Su Changliu."

In the next few days, Mo Yixuan and Long Yan will be very busy. They have to collect all the evidence here as soon as possible, find out the fire case that year, and see if they can find any evidence. Who was the magistrate at that time.

What a coincidence, the local official was later promoted due to his outstanding political achievements, and now he is working in the capital, Long Yan and the others are still very familiar.

The evidence here is almost collected, and then it will be left in the capital.Long Yan and Mo Yixuan both had a premonition that the answer might be in the capital.

In the middle, Qin Ye recovered from his injury, and chased him to join them, but he didn't heal very quickly, so Long Yan asked Xiao Hei to take care of him, and he also took a rest. He had worked a lot these days.

Ren Fengliu sent a letter to Mo Yixuan, saying that he would go to the capital in a few days, and when he had time, he would visit the prime minister's mansion and give him a gift.

Mo Yixuan didn't express anything when he read the letter, he wasn't too happy or unhappy, he just ordered the letter to be accepted.Long Yan was very upset, snatched the letter and tore it up, and confessed viciously that he was not allowed to hang out with that guy, that kid has no good intentions.

Mo Yixuan raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, Long Yan blushed, he didn't admit his jealousy, and found an excuse to change the topic.

When the hidden guards turned upside down and searched for the child's whereabouts, there was news that they had seen a person with this kind of birthmark in the capital.Long Yanmo Yixuan believed even more that it was time to return to Beijing.

Mo Yixuan wrote a letter to Haiyan, summed up the information he had found, and after drawing his attention, they started their journey back to Beijing.

This day was the eighteenth day of the winter moon, the day before departure.Long Yan suggested that everyone has been tired for so long. I heard that there is a hot spring in a certain mountain not far from here. It can relieve fatigue and help wounds recover.

After returning to Beijing this time, there are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in Beijing, and it will not be easy, so I quickly seized such an opportunity.

Mo Yixuan was moved by what he said, thought about it, and called Qin Ye, Mo Ying, and the large group of hidden guards behind Long Yan, and everyone went together.

The corner of Long Yan's mouth twitched, thinking that so many people——

However, the news from the hidden guards said that the place is very large, and some more private places have been separated... Besides, there are hidden guards, and there are many things that can be sent to them first...

Afterwards, he also laughed wickedly, touching Mo Yixuan's ass secretly, "Xiaoxuan, let's have sex together..."

Mo Yixuan patted his hand away, "You make it yourself!"

The author has something to say: Well, open V, thank you Minasan for your support~~ Originally the next three chapters should be included in the Jiangnan volume, but I am afraid that the V chapter is not eye-catching enough, so I just put it in the Shengong volume up.
