Farming and reading family

He didn't expect Ye Linchuan to betray so easily and use this incident to surrender to the eldest princess.

Unfortunately, he has become a plaything and thought he would have a good future after surrendering to the eldest princess.

"You are deceiving the emperor." Ye Linchuan said immediately.

He knew that what he said would force Ye Linchuan to shift the blame to the Qiu family.

"Princess, please be wise. The matter of Princess Qingfeng is of great importance. Let alone discovering Princess Qingfeng's jewelry, even just a little rumor is enough to make people come to verify its authenticity." Xu Boyan said solemnly.

Ye Linchuan only treated the eldest princess as the eldest princess, but she was still a mother.

"You are absolutely right." The eldest princess's expression became serious. "Have you found the murderer of the Zhao family?"

"I have been trying my best to capture him, but he is too cunning and I haven't found him yet." Xu Boyan saluted.

The eldest princess lowered her eyes and asked, "Master Xu, do you think the jewelry was brought from somewhere else, or was it lost here?"

"I thought it was transported from somewhere else, but it would not exceed the territory of Qinzhou City." Xu Boyan was very sure.

"Why?" The eldest princess' eyes were gloomy.

As long as it is confirmed that it happened in Qinzhou City, then her daughter most likely did not die in Suyang Prefecture.

"The Zhao family is colluding with a group of horse bandits outside Qinzhou City. These bandits have their own sphere of influence and cannot be violated. It's a pity that the horse bandits were killed before." Xu Boyan sighed.

"What a coincidence?" The eldest princess was a little unconvinced.

"This must be a coincidence. The bandits died before I discovered that the Zhao family was colluding with them." Xu Boyan was very sure, after all, the people were killed by Gao E's men.

The princess believed Xu Boyan's words even more: "So the only way to find new clues is to find the murderer of the Zhao family."

"Yes." Xu Boyan nodded.

"Then Lord Xu, please find the murderer as soon as possible. If my daughter is still alive, I will definitely not treat Lord Xu unfairly." The eldest princess promised.

"Thank you, Princess." Xu Boyan bowed.

"Go and get busy." The eldest princess gestured.

Xu Boyan bowed and left.

Ye Linchuan didn't expect Xu Boyan to break the deadlock so easily: "Does the Princess really believe what he said?"

"This princess believes in facts." The eldest princess was a little tired.

Although she seemed to not care about her daughter in the eyes of others, she just didn't want others to confirm her weaknesses, otherwise Qingfeng would be in more danger.

Xu Boyan breathed a sigh of relief. When he returned to the county government office, he ordered the city to be sealed off and a strict investigation to be conducted. He must find the person who could control the snake.

Qu Zhonglai has always had a dream, which is to make a snake staff with divine iron, so that he can have an invincible snake staff.

So after his snake staff was cut off that day, he hid in the county government office, hoping to find an opportunity to steal the dagger made of magic iron, and thus avoided the search outside the county government office.

Xu Boyan didn't expect that the other party was so bold that he actually hid in the county government office.

At this time, many people gathered outside He County. They all came to observe the Qingtan Yaji, but they encountered the city lockdown of He County, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.

All the cowhide tents have been set up in Qingtan Gorge. Xiao Chuyun also transplanted a lot of chrysanthemums here, taking advantage of the terrain of Qingtan Gorge to create a paradise-like scene.

"We can invite everyone from Yueyuan." Gao E was very satisfied after taking a look around.

"Inviting all those people here will consume a lot of food in a day." Jin Ruyi reminded.

"They're not eating or drinking in Yueyuan anymore," Gao E said unhappily. "We've recorded all their expenses and calculated the amount accordingly."

"I know." Jin Ruyi nodded. "You have to go and invite them yourself."

Gao E thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Qing Luo to tell Tang Song to bring them over."

Now that Chen Ke is at home and unwilling to show up, it would be inappropriate for her to show up again.

"They have to invite a few singing girls to play the piano and zither every day, so they may not like your place." Jin Ruyi said sarcastically.

"That's because Yueyuan is too boring." Gao E raised her eyebrows.

"Okay." Jin Ruyi didn't argue with her.

Gao E asked Lu Qingluo to go to He County and she would go home first. However, Lu Qingluo came back on horseback before she got home.

"So fast?" Gao E was surprised.

"He County is sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Many outsiders have gathered outside the city and are causing trouble." Lu Qingluo said as he got off his horse.

"Why?" Gao E didn't understand.

"They said they were arresting a serious criminal."

Gao E thought of the snake wielder and guessed that Xu Boyan was looking for that person: "I see, take something to give to Lord Xu."

She just wanted to use the snake-attracting incense again.

Lu Qingluo took the snake-attracting incense and went to He County again.

Gao E was thinking about the gathering of outsiders outside He County: "Do you think those outsiders might be people invited by Mr. Du?"

If that's the case, Gao E has to send someone to make arrangements.

"That shouldn't be the case. If Mr. Du had really invited them, he would have known the gathering was being held in Batou Village and would have come," Jin Ruyi analyzed. "Besides, there wouldn't be that many people."

Gao E thought about it and realized that it was the same. She didn't know why. Could it be that something big happened in He County again?

The person guarding the city gate helped Lu Qingluo call Zhu Mo. Zhu Mo accepted the snake-attracting incense from Lu Qingluo, but could not let Lu Qingluo enter the city.

"Your face hasn't healed yet." Lu Qingluo looked at the scars on Zhu Mo's face.

That was left by someone from the Tao family. Although it wasn't deep, it was on the face, and it was left there intentionally for Xu Boyan to see.

"Is it scary?" Zhu Mo raised his hand to cover it.

The wound was treated immediately, and the doctor said that even if a scar was left, it would be a very shallow scar.

"It's not scary." Lu Qingluo said and left.

After returning to the yamen, Zhu Mo handed the snake-attracting incense to his master and looked in the mirror.

"Did shit get thrown on your face?" Bai Hao looked at Zhu Mo and saw that he was looking so serious.

Zhu Mo went to get his knife but was hurriedly held back by Bai Hao.

"Just a joke." Bai Hao said hurriedly.

Zhu Mo withdrew his hand: "Do you smell anything?"

The two men turned their heads and saw that their grandfather had already opened the snake-attracting incense, and they immediately became alert.

Xu Boyan used a paper cutter to scrape off the surface layer of the snake-attracting incense, then divided it into four parts, kept one of them, and began to make the wax seal carefully.

"Master, what if it attracts a lot of snakes?" Bai Hao took Zhu Mo's dagger.

"Isn't that better?" Xu Boyan didn't care.

As soon as he finished speaking, a three-foot-long colorful snake crawled over the threshold.

Zhu Mo cut the snake into two pieces with one knife.

"This snake came too quickly." Bai Hao was alert. "Why are there so many snakes in our government office?"

Hearing Bai Hao say this, Xu Boyan suddenly remembered that they had searched many places, but not the government office.

Thinking of this, he quickly sealed the three snake-attracting incense and put them away.

By the time he finished doing this, Zhu Mo had already chopped off more than a dozen snakes, but more snakes were crawling towards this side. Among them, a small black snake was particularly eye-catching, and even when the other snakes crawled towards this side, they avoided the small black snake.
