After traveling through the book, I am busy as a dog. Shaoqing, can you do it?

Chapter 243 This is the beginning of the will-o'-the-wisp case

Shen Qingqian opened the door and called Lu Chuan, who was shivering outside, to come in and take away the silkworms and mulberry leaves. Diwu Xun drank two cups of tea before he recovered.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were afraid of that." She smiled awkwardly.

Diwu Xun exhaled, "Madam, don't worry, I'm fine."

Shen Qingqian pouted, and suddenly remembered the teasing that flashed across Xiao Hezhi's eyes when he saw her asking for silkworms. Could it be that he had already known that Diwu Xun was afraid of this thing?

Shen Qingqian couldn't help but frown, "When you stepped on the bean worm to death, were you seen by others?"

Diwu Xun was stunned by her sudden question for a moment, and quickly said, "I can't say for sure. I was only five years old at that time and was still in the palace. Maybe I saw him. What's the matter?"

Shen Qingqian was hesitant. Could it be that they didn't plant spies? Or did Xiao Hezhi just happen to see it?

"Nothing," Shen Qingqian said, "But what happened to Min Minzheng today was indeed done by Xiao Hezhi."

Diwu Xun's eyes flickered slightly, "Did he tell you?"

Shen Qingqian nodded, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she said, "There is one more thing I think you need to know."

Diwu Xun bowed his head and replied, "He wants to kill me."

Shen Qingqian frowned, then laughed out loud in self-mockery and helplessness, "I should have known that you can think of what I can think of."

Diwu Xun stood up, picked up Shen Qingqian from the steps and placed her on the couch.

"You don't have to blame yourself. I don't blame him either. If I knew what happened to my mother, I would have taken the risk even without him doing anything."

Shen Qingqian frowned. She had never been a kind-hearted person.

In this respect, she is the same as Xiao Hezhi. She has thought that if she were Xiao Hezhi, she might also do whatever it takes to strive for a possibility.

But I will never get myself involved.

But Diwuxun's words made her heart tremble.

The world is unfair, and there are very few people who can still be kind.

It is truly rare that he can stick to his goodness despite going through so many things.

Shen Qingqian's eyes were wet. She turned away, lowered her head and said, "Fortunately, you didn't know this all along."

Diwu Xun heard it clearly. He sat beside her and held her in his arms. "Don't worry. Now that I have you, I know exactly what I can and cannot do."

In the past, I was alone, and life and death were all determined by fate.

But ever since he met Shen Qingqian, her glance and smile made him feel something other than hatred.

These things made him begin to yearn for a moderate life, made him calm and relaxed, and made him want to live the life of an ordinary person, put aside his melancholy, temporarily immerse himself in the happiness he longed for, and move forward hand in hand with her.

As if worried that she was in a depressed mood, Diwuxun smiled and said, "Do you want to hear about my progress here?"

Shen Qingqian then looked up, "Is there good news?"

"Madam, do you still remember the Qingzhou will-o'-the-wisp case a few days ago?"

Shen Qingqian nodded. How could she possibly forget?

When the ghost fire case is mentioned, I think of the male and female protagonists whose husband and fake cousin died, and who staged an erotic battle in front of her and Diwuxun.

"Does the lady still remember that woman?"

Isn't this just trying to remind her of that scene?

Shen Qingqian's face suddenly turned red, and she nodded again, "Remember."

"Where's the name?"

Shen Qingqian's mouth twitched, "What do you mean?"

Did he say his name? What was it? Why didn't she remember it?

Seeing his wife's puzzled expression, Diwu Xun said, "She is the Zhang Jingwan that Xiao Si mentioned."

what?

Shen Qingqian's eyes widened!

If that’s the case, then aren’t these two important figures in the Ghost Fire Case connected to the Changning Marquis Mansion Case of that year?

Diwu Xun's eyes were firm, "Just as Madam thought."

Shen Qingqian was a little confused. Wasn't all this achieved without any effort?

She only knew the general idea of ​​the previous will-o'-the-wisp case and didn't know the final conclusion.

There is no way of knowing the results or details.

The Diwuxun was different. After traveling back in time with Shen Qingqian, he solved the case in the fastest time.

Although it was finally handed over to Qingzhou Prefecture, he knew the entire process clearly.

The reason why Lu Chuan was so shocked when he heard Fang Xiaosi report the name was that he learned the name of Zheng Zhang while following the case.

After checking the case in the Dali Temple today, Diwu Xun finally sorted out everything.

Zhang Jingwan had known Fan Jing's cousin, Dong Ji, for a long time.

If his guess was correct, Zhang Jingwan was a member of Fan's group and was the accomplice in the Marquis' Mansion.

Originally, she was only monitoring her father's whereabouts after he returned to Beijing, fearing that what they did would arouse her father's suspicion, so she kept something in reserve for any emergency.

But I never thought that my father would actually find out something.

He decided to go all out and knocked out everyone in the mansion that night.

My father probably never expected that the old servant's relative would be from the Fan family.

In the case of the will-o'-the-wisp, Zhang Zhan killed eighteen members of the Zheng family and then hanged himself in prison.

Because the case was not his responsibility in the first place, he did not know how the case closing report was written.

If he hadn't looked through the case files today, he would have thought that Zhang Jingwan and Dong Ji had already been imprisoned in Qingzhou!

The so-called Zhang Jingwan’s younger brother Zhang Zhan, who died in prison in the ghost fire case, was just a killer.

Zheng Qian, whom Zhang Jingwan married, was once the housekeeper in Dong Ji's mansion.

A few months ago, Dong Ji sent Zheng and two followers to pull a cart of valuables back to Qingzhou, but unexpectedly they encountered robbers on the official road in Qingzhou.

All the valuables in the cart were stolen, and two followers with great martial arts skills were killed on the spot.

Because a murder had occurred, the county government retained confessions during the case handling process.

But for some reason, Dong Ji asked the county magistrate to drop the case and not investigate it any further.

Every year, each county government has a case workload, and there are also quite a few unsolved cases. After the Qingzhou County Magistrate verbally responded, he did not withdraw the case or destroy the case file, but wanted to investigate it secretly, so he threw it into the unfinished case file.

This is how the careful Diwu Xun found out about this case.

This was also the beginning of the will-o'-the-wisp case.

Zheng Qian committed embezzlement and was discovered by Zhang Jingwan, who was sent by Dong Ji using a beauty trap. Dong Ji then set up a trap and ordered his entire family to be killed and buried in Chaoyang Mountain.

Dong Ji had a son who became the prefect of Yongchuan.

That cart of valuables was the birthday gift this boy gave to Dong Ji.

A prefect who had only been in office for two years presented a whole cart of gold, silver and treasures. This shows how hateful he must have been in that position.

This is also the reason why Dong Ji hastily withdrew the case.

Even though he didn't want to make this matter public, he couldn't give up this car full of talented people.

Three people left and only Zheng Qian was left.

Moreover, Qingzhou City was so close to the emperor's feet. There had been no banditry in recent years. How could it be such a coincidence that they targeted Dong Ji's treasure?

From the very beginning, Dong Ji didn't believe what Zheng Qian said.

So they sent Zhang Jingwan over to hook up with Zheng Qian...
