The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Huang Shuo narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"The second brother committed suicide by taking poison on the third day of September. I saw it with my own eyes. On the ninth day of the same year, the envoys were attacked. Even if we can confirm that the second brother is a member of the Flame Organization, he is dead and there is no way he would have assassinated the envoys."

"Right!" Zhao Xuan slapped her forehead in frustration. "I'm such a fool! I didn't even think of such an obvious thing!"

"but……"

Zhao Xuan felt that her pig brain had suddenly evolved a little bit towards a human brain.

"If the eldest and third brother are also members of the Flame Organization..."

She looked at Huang Shuo expectantly.

"Dad, did you just get any useful information from Zhang Yongsheng?"

Huang Shuo looked at Zhao Xuan's rosy little face in the sunlight and suddenly smiled.

"His daughter is six years old this year. She's just like you when you were little. She doesn't like studying and is naughty and mischievous, just like a boy!"

Zhao Xuan's eyes suddenly widened into the size of copper bells, and she looked at Huang Shuo for confirmation again.

"Are you kidding? You were just chatting with him? Helping him fix Grandma Sun's roof?"

Huang Shuo shrugged nonchalantly.

"What else could it be? Zhang Yongsheng is such a nice guy, always willing to help others. The third child working in the fields is shy and honest. How could he possibly be in cahoots with the Flame Organization's villains?"

When Huang Shuo said this, he put his mouth close to Zhao Xuan's ear and spoke in a serious tone.

"It must be the second brother who did this evil thing without telling the other brothers!"

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, speechless.

"What if someone did something evil in the past, but later felt guilty and repented, turning over a new leaf? That's not impossible!"

Just as the father and daughter had different opinions, one was skeptical and the other believed that seeing is believing, Zhang Yongsheng and his wife were walking towards home talking and laughing on a small path in the country.

Zhang Yongsheng held the pen, ink, paper and inkstone carefully, while the woman carried the empty food box, walking briskly and smiling.

"I really can't resist Grandma Sun. You got so many good things for free. Go back and tidy up Grandma's house. I think the kitchen stove needs a new one, and the window paper needs to be replaced. Some places are torn."

"it is good."

Zhang Yongsheng agreed.

"I'll buy some cloth to make a new dress for my mother-in-law!"

"Listen to you."

The woman looked at the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone in Zhang Yongsheng's arms and was very happy.

"Luckily, a peddler came to the village, otherwise I would have to go to the county town!"

Zhang Yongsheng's eyes were dark and unclear, and a dark light flashed across them and disappeared.

"There hasn't been a peddler in the village for years. It's really rare."

He smiled, seemingly casually, and continued muttering.

"It only takes half an hour to walk from our village to the county town. It's very convenient for buying anything. In the past, peddlers were reluctant to come here, so there was not much business."

"The past is the past. Life is better now. Who doesn't have some spare money?"

The woman didn't care and pointed at the bag in Zhang Yongsheng's arms.

“Isn’t this the beginning of business?”

Zhang Yongsheng looked at his wife's cheerful smile and nodded, "You're right."

Under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, Huang Shuo and Zhao Xuan sat under the tree to rest. Neither of them spoke, and it seemed that they were not on the same page and did not want to say anything more.

Huang Shuo was the first to break the silence.

"Xuan'er, I've made up my mind. Let's go to the Fuze Relief Home in Jing'an Prefecture. The three brothers were orphans back then. If they did anything bad, it's probably because their teacher didn't teach them well. Don't you think that's the truth?"

That's the logic, but that's not the case. Why not just go to the orphanage instead of investigating the suspect?

Zhao Xuan disagreed with Huang Shuo's idea, but she didn't want to quarrel with her father over this matter, so she said with a dull attitude:

"If it's true, as you say, that the poorhouse is the source of this evil, it must be extremely well hidden. After all these years, what can we find out?"

"Check that dead dick!"

Huang Shuo actually understood that looking for clues directly from the Zhang brothers was a shortcut. He understood what Zhao Xuan meant, but he still couldn't bear to destroy the peaceful and beautiful lives of these two families.

Even if the Zhang brothers are suspected, their wives and children are innocent. One move could affect the entire body, and he cannot let the women and children suffer based on suspicion alone.

He also thought that the orphanage might be in deep trouble and that they would be taking a great risk if they went there, but he didn't want to tell Zhao Xuan about these things because he already had a foolproof plan.

?

When Zhao Xuan and Huang Shuo rushed to Jing'an Prefecture, in the northern grassland, the royal court.

King Yingyang of Rongdi and his uncle Bogu were preparing to receive the secret envoy from the State of Yue who was making another secret visit.

Borggu, who was sitting at the lower seat, looked at Yingyang, who was sitting at the main seat, with some concern.

"Your Majesty, last time you sent the Yue envoy back with a blueprint, could it be that the Yue Emperor is sending troops to you this time to call you to account?"

Yingyang was calm and composed. Uncle Wang was indeed getting old and could no longer withstand any hardships. He would start to have wild thoughts at the slightest sign of trouble.

He smiled reassuringly at Borggu. After all, his uncle had devoted all his energy to the Rongdi tribe over the years and his contribution was invaluable.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry too much. The Yue Emperor suggested that we cooperate with the Yue army and attack the Xia Kingdom from both the north and the south. This will only benefit us. Even if we fail to destroy the Xia Kingdom in the end, we can take the opportunity to plunder the northern border of the Xia Kingdom and then retreat to the grasslands.

I didn't agree at the time because I wanted to test the newly enthroned Yue Emperor's resolve to destroy the Xia! If the Yue Kingdom is just bluffing and lacks real strength, or if they retreat at the last minute, and the Xia army turns around and unifies its forces to attack us, we'll suffer a great loss!

Ying Yang patiently analyzed the situation with Borg Gu.

Borggu finally understood Yingyang's plan, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked the questions in his mind.

"Is that why the king has been staying on the grasslands this winter? Is he planning to cooperate with the Kingdom of Yue?"

Ying Yang frowned, thinking of the great battle he had with Qin Shao at the foot of Tianlu Mountain. He was very angry, so he sent Borggu away with just a few words.

"There's another reason. Last year, we suffered heavy losses in our battle with the Xia Kingdom. Qin Shao is indeed difficult to deal with. If the Emperor of Yue can make up his mind to attack the Xia Kingdom, he can tie down the Xia Kingdom's military strength, and then we can take action!"

"I see, Your Majesty is indeed thoughtful and thoughtful. I admire you!"

Borggu nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, a Rongdi soldier led a middle-aged man dressed in Rongdi clothes into the main tent.

The soldier saluted Ying Yang and said, "Your Majesty, the Yue envoy has arrived!"

The Vietnamese envoy hurriedly followed suit and saluted Ying Yang with a very respectful look.

"Xu Daoyuan, the secret envoy of Yue, pays a visit to the King of Rongdi!"

Ying Yang waved his hand.

"Master Xu, please take a seat! It has been over three months since we last met. How have you been, Master Xu?"

Xu Daoyuan sat down in his seat.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am doing well. I came here to report the good news to Your Majesty!"

Ying Yang glanced at Xu Daoyuan with a smile on his face.

"Oh? Then Lord Xu, tell me, what's the good news?"

"Your Majesty has already sent someone to investigate the blueprint you gave me last time. The crossbow arrow was made by Princess Xia..."

Before Xu Daoyuan finished speaking, Ying Yang burst into laughter.

"Lord Xu, don't think that our Rongdi tribe is isolated from the news just because we are located in the northern grasslands. The current Princess Consort of Xia is actually Princess Tian Shiliu of your Yue Kingdom. Is the Emperor of Yue trying to divert the blame?"

Ying Yang dragged out the last syllable of the word, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"You want me to settle accounts with Emperor Xia? So that he can quickly agree to cooperate with your Yue Kingdom? The Yue Emperor is really calculating!"

"No no no!"

Xu Daoyuan denied it repeatedly. Seeing that Yingyang was about to break up with him, he quickly stood up and bowed to Yingyang.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood! The princess was murdered by the Virtuous Princess a long time ago. The current Virtuous Princess is a fake princess. Your Majesty has vowed to avenge the princess and wants to join forces with Your Majesty. If you succeed, the fake princess will be at Your Majesty's disposal!"

Ying Yang and Borg Gu looked at each other in bewilderment. How come a fake princess suddenly appeared?

It’s simply a fantasy!

"Master Xu, is this true?"

Borg Valley asked.

"Absolutely true! Your Majesty didn't hastily expose the fake princess's identity because he was afraid of alerting the enemy. It's best to let the fake princess be dealt with personally by Your Majesty!"

As Xu Daoyuan spoke, he took off the bundle tied around his body, untied it, took out a brand new crossbow arrow from it, walked up and handed it to Yingyang.

"Your Majesty, please look! This is the arrow that Princess Xian ordered from Chuyang. It's exactly the same as the one on your drawing!"

Yingyang took the arrow and looked at it carefully.

When he saw the word "Shang" engraved on the arrow, he gritted his teeth in hatred and his face was distorted.
