Leng Yi's heart was moved. There was no such thing in the file. It just said that she hit the deceased on the head with a wooden stick and died. There was no proof of how the crime was committed, so he didn't know what Li just said. After listening to Dong

At the Master's words, Leng Yi touched his sparse beard, nodded old-fashionedly, and said, "You said you didn't kill him, so how did the crack on his head come about?"

"I don't know. I really didn't kill my husband! If you sentence me to death, I won't accept it even if I go to the Lord of Hell!"

Leng Yi said: "It seems that figuring out what happened to the head injury of the deceased is the key to this case. - Where is the deceased buried?"

Li said: "It will be buried on the mountain outside the city. Because their family said that he was killed by someone, he did not die a good death and could not be buried in the ancestral grave, so he chose a place to bury him here."

"Well, tomorrow the county will reopen the coffin and conduct an autopsy!"

Master Dong hurriedly said: "Well, Dong Weng, it's not necessary, right? The coffin was opened for autopsy last time."

"The last time the coffin was opened and the autopsy was performed, it was a man who conducted the examination. The county has said that from now on, the county will conduct all on-site investigations of cases in person and will no longer do it with fake hands."

Mr. Dong hurriedly bowed and said: "It is not a bad idea to reopen the coffin for autopsy, but the victim's family has returned home, so we must seek their opinions. It will be too late to open the coffin tomorrow morning."

Leng Yi asked Li: "This county wants to open the coffin of your husband for an autopsy. Are you willing?"

Mrs. Li quickly nodded, with a glimmer of hope on her face: "I do! I beg Master Qingtian to find out the case and clear the woman's name. The woman will work hard in the next life to repay the Master's kindness!"

, she knelt on the ground and wanted to kowtow, but the wooden shackles held her neck, so she could only keep kowtowing, but she couldn't kowtow.

Leng Yi said: "Since you are willing, it means that the family of the victim has agreed. Well, the county will open the coffin and conduct an autopsy tomorrow!"

Master Dong was stunned for a moment. Leng Yi's statement made sense. Moreover, it was a good thing for the county magistrate to investigate the case clearly. As a master, he should naturally praise the illness for his full help, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

.

Leng Yi walked out of the cell with his hands behind his back, not even looking at Lin Ling in the first cell.

After returning to the inner house, Yin Jiu stayed behind to patrol the outer house.

Leng Yi took Cheng Luojie and Zheng Yan to the main house. He walked through the patio, and Cheng Luojie appeared out of nowhere, as if she was in front of him all of a sudden. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Mr.

!”

"Well," Leng Yi glanced behind her, "Where's Agent Li Fen?"

Cheng Luo'an raised his hand and pointed at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree behind the main house: "Be on guard up there."

Leng Yi looked up and saw that on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree he had climbed last time, against the background of the gray night sky, there was indeed a slender figure sitting on the branch.

Leng Yi said to Cheng Luo: "She is also real. She will catch a cold if she is alone in a tree on such a cold day."

Cheng Luo smiled: "Don't worry, sir, she won't catch a cold even if she sleeps in the snow all night. - We have divided up the duty plan. She, Huang Mei, and Zheng Yan take turns to stand guard on the tree.

, two hours per person, it’s not a long time and you won’t catch a cold.”

"That's good." Leng Yi looked back at Cheng Luojie and said, "You guys have worked hard, you should rest early."

"Sir, please rest early! Zheng Yan is on duty outside the door. If you need anything, please call her." Sister Cheng Luojie said with cupped hands, and then disappeared into the darkness, not knowing where she hid. Zheng Yan pressed her hands.

Sword hilt, standing on the corridor outside the main room door, waiting for Leng Yi's call.

As soon as Leng Yi entered the room, it was very dark. Only an oil lamp was lit on the desk. Zhuo Qiao's mother lowered her head and sat on a stool next to the brazier in the middle of the room. She held a female worker in her hand, but did not start sewing.

He was just staring at the brazier in a daze.

Leng Yi smiled, but did not dare to speak loudly for fear of scaring her, so he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly.

Zhuo Qiao Niang was so entranced that even though the sound was soft, she was still startled. She quickly raised her head, saw Leng Yi, stood up and said with a smile, "The official is back!"

"Well, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it."

"No..., it's nothing!" Zhuo Qiaoniang helped him take off his official robe and put on a half-old jacket. She made the fire a little bigger and wiped the rim of the brazier with her sleeves.

A spotless chair, "My lord, please take a seat!"

Leng Yi sat down, held her hand, asked her to sit next to him, looked at her, and said softly: "What happened? You can't hide your expression from me."

"Hmm..." Zhuo Qiaoniang hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the door and then whispered, "I just don't understand why these arresters are always around us?"

"Oh, our Bazhou is a place of exile. Some stubborn and unruly people are easy to cause trouble. There are many murders, robberies and thieves. Didn't we kidnap you last time? The transshipment envoy took pity on me, so he sent these few

Come to us personally and protect us personally."

Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded, thought for a while, and said: "But..., they don't seem to be simply protecting us, they seem to be looking for something."

Leng Yi's heart moved. He looked around the room and found nothing out of the ordinary. He asked, "What's wrong? Are they looking for something?"

Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded, lowered her voice and said: "After the officials left, Cheng Luo's headman told the concubine that they would check all the places in detail to prevent thieves from lurking. Then they started to search everywhere, even under the bed.

The boards were all taken apart and examined carefully. The concubine was a little strange and said how could the thief be hiding in the boards. She did not answer, but just said it was a routine matter and told me not to ask more questions. The concubine just watched while they searched the entire house carefully.

Once, and then he said that the room was a bit messy and that he had to help clean it up, and then he went out after cleaning it up. "

"So you're just sitting here in a daze because you don't know what's going on?"

Zhuo Qiao Niang smiled bitterly, lowered her head again, and said, "I know I shouldn't ask more questions, but I can't stop thinking about it."

Leng Yi whispered: "You are right, they are looking for something. When they serve as our guards, they not only protect our safety, but also have another thing, that is, they are looking for something. Although I am not

I know what they are looking for, but I guess it has something to do with what you were asked about by the women who kidnapped you last time. It may be the same thing."

Speaking of this, Leng Yi looked at Zhuo Qiaoniang intently and said, "If you think about it again, we may have something that they are looking for?"

"Ever since I was kidnapped last time, I have been thinking about it, but I just can't figure it out. When they were searching just now, I was praying, asking them to find what they wanted quickly, so that they wouldn't have to act like a thief.

You have to be watched."

Leng Yi saw her body trembling slightly and her face pale, knowing that she was under a lot of pressure, so he put his arm around her shoulders, pulled her into his arms, hugged her gently, and said softly: "It doesn't matter.

, they can find whatever they are looking for and don’t have to worry about it.”

Zhuo Qiao Niang nodded and reached out to grab his chest: "It's all my fault. The officer is already very tired, and saying these things makes the officer worried."

"You should tell me this. If you don't tell me, how will I know? We are a married couple. In this foreign country, we are the only two who depend on each other. How can we not be considerate?"

Zhuo Qiaoniang raised her head and looked at him, smiled softly and nodded.

"Where's the grass spike?"

"Captain Cheng Luo asked Agent Zheng Yan to take her to their house quickly and said they would take care of her. By the way, the work she did today is really beautiful. I will show it to the officials."

After saying that, Zhuo Qiaoniang got up and walked to the window, took a purse from the table and handed it to Leng Yi. Leng Yi took it and took a look. The purse was embroidered on both sides, with a picture of auspicious clouds and cranes, and the stitching was delicate.

, the color matching and pattern layout are all excellent. There is also a Luoying pendant at the hem. I couldn’t help but praise: “What a good embroidery job!”

Zhuo Qiaoniang said: "Cao Sui said that she was very grateful to the official for saving her life and had nothing else to repay. Apart from working hard in the future, she embroidered this purse for the official and wished the official good success.

May you enjoy eternal blessings."

Leng Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "This kid really has a heart. Well, it's rare for her to be so thoughtful, so I accepted it. I happened to be short of a wallet.

Zhuo Qiaoniang took it and tied it around her waist. She looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "It looks really good."
