Chapter 28 Death of Xu Dong

When Shang Junhua was carried back to the camp, she was still a little dazed. She didn't expect Shen Zhiyi to dare to use her as a meat pad! She would never let this bitch Shen Zhiyi go!

"Amber, did you hear anything?"

Shang Junhua stopped scratching her arm, and there was a hissing sound in the tent, which sounded like the sound of a snake crawling. This was a hunting ground, and it was normal for snakes to appear, but she was a little scared and sat down on the bed. When I put my hand on the edge of the bed, I happened to touch a smooth and cold piece.

"ah!"

A burst of screams pierced the night sky. Shang Junhua looked at the little snake she was holding down and fainted. Her personal maid Amber hurried out to look for someone. By this time, Shang Junhua's tent had already turned into a mess.

Shen Zhiyi on the other end was far away, so naturally he would not be disturbed. She was sleeping soundly. The girl was wrapped in a quilt, and scenes from her previous life kept flashing through her dreams. However, this time it was a beautiful dream. She dreamed that she had no After marrying Jiang Huaice, the Shen family rose rapidly, and her Yunxiu Workshop also prospered.

Everything is going in the right direction, and this is what she wants.

When she woke up the next day, Shen Zhiyi stretched out and had a rare sleep. Lu Mei helped her wash up. When she walked out, the sun had already risen, and the warm light shone on her body, making her feel extremely Comfortable.

It’s really the winter, and the good weather makes people feel better unconsciously.

"Girl, the slave brother is here."

Hearing Lu Mei's words, Shen Zhiyi turned around and followed Lu Mei's fingers to see the man standing behind the tent. That was Lu Mei's eldest brother Wan Dafu, and she asked Wan Dafu to do something for him a few days ago. .

Of course, she would not give up the investigation just because Longfu Pawn couldn't move. Mi Shu's words that day further confirmed her guess.

After all, Mi Qingxu had the same official position as her father and similar salary. Even if the Mi family had a way to make money, it would be impossible for her to afford the expensive crabs every day. So she boldly guessed that maybe Xu Dong was just Long Fu. The shopkeeper on the surface of a pawn shop.

The real owner of the pawn shop must be Mi Qingxu or the person behind them, or maybe Mi Qingxu is using this benefit to do things for others. In short, in addition to being relatives, there must be something else between Xu Dong and Mi Qingxu. What interests are firmly binding them together.

So she asked Lu Mei's eldest brother to secretly find out who were the people coming in and out of Longfu's pawn shop.

Wan Dafu is a new face, and he looks very honest. Letting him go will not arouse suspicion. It seems that he has gained something, so he is so anxious to come to find her.

"girl."

Seeing Shen Zhiyi approaching, Wan Dafu bowed his head and saluted her and then lowered his voice and said: "I followed the girl's instructions and stared at the Longfu Pawn Shop, and I found something different."

He told the news he had learned during this period: "After those people came out of there, they had something like a small card in their hands, which was about the same size as a banknote. But when they went in, they had something in their hands. But it doesn’t look like it can be pawned.”

"Also, no one around here goes to Longfu Pawn Shop to sell things. I heard that they only accept specific customers, and there are many guards at the door, which is really strange."

"By the way, girl, I almost forgot one of the most important things. That Xu Dong is dead."

"Dead? How did you die?"

Hearing this sentence, Shen Zhiyi asked with shock in his eyes, Xu Dong is dead? Shouldn't he be imprisoned by the command post at this time because of the corruption case? How could he die?

"I don't know about that. It was said that there was a fire in the backyard and he was burned to death. When the government officials carried it out, it was just a charred corpse."

Wan Dafu scratched his head. These were government affairs. If something like this happened, the government would not let them get close to Xu Dong's house. He could only see it from a distance through the crowd.

"I understand, Brother Wan, thank you for your hard work."

He died too early, too strangely, and the timing was very clever. Shen Zhiyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After Wan Dafu left, Shen Zhiyi looked at the river. The rushing river flowed like a She was in a chaotic mood at this time.

She finally touched something, but it broke here again. She stepped on the branch in frustration. It seemed that she had to deal with this matter again.

There must be some connection between Xu Dong, Mi Qingxu, and the Chief Envoy of Guangping.

These things broke Shen Zhiyi's good mood when he got up in the morning. When he walked back to his tent, he saw Meng Xuanan standing in front of his tent. Shen Zhiyi smiled and walked over: "Brother Miaocai, why are you here? ?”

"I heard there's horse racing over there. Since we're out for fun, why don't we go and see it together?"

There was always a gentle smile on his face. Shen Zhiyi nodded. Forget it, let's forget about it for now. She has no clue now. If possible, she would still go to Longfu Pawn Shop again.

"Okay, but I thought Brother Miaocai preferred reciting poems and painting, and was not interested in these activities."

The little girl covered her lips with her hands and joked loudly. Meng Xuan'an was stunned for a moment when he heard her words, and then smiled: "It's a rare opportunity, and my hobbies are not just poetry and painting."

The two of them were talking while walking. Shen Zhiyi did not expect that Meng Xuanan had such a humorous side. It was her preconception that Meng Xuanan was just a dull scholar.

There were already many people gathered around the racecourse. The young men from aristocratic families were competing on the racetrack. The young men in bright clothes and angry horses raised a cloud of dust, causing the little girl watching below to blush.

When they arrived, they also saw Shen Shaowei, but she was accompanied by Xiao Zian. Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly, something was wrong, this Xiao Zian didn't want to be her brother-in-law!

Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyi squeezed through the crowd and walked over, forcefully inserting himself between the two of them. Xiao Zian naturally did not dare to squeeze with her. If he squeezed someone, he would have to be beaten by Minghuai again. He couldn't afford to offend him. Can't afford to offend.

"Zhizhi."

Shen Shaowei looked at the two of them like children, smiled helplessly, and then nodded to Meng Xuan'an behind Shen Zhiyi.

"I asked why I couldn't find Sister A, but it turns out she is here."

The little girl looked at Xiao Zian with a straight face and half-squinted one eye. Xiao Zian came from a good background and was a third-grade official. His appearance was not bad, but he seemed a bit young for his age.

Xiao Zian swallowed under Shen Zhiyi's burning eyes. She must have fallen in love with him. It was over. It was really over now. Minghuai couldn't fight with him.

"Okay, you girl, what do you keep staring at?"

Just when Xiao Zian was anxious, Shen Shaowei spoke up to save him. Shen Zhiyi pointed at the lottery at the other end of the racecourse. Throughout the ages, there has always been a lottery in any competition. The reward for this horse racing is a horse. Nice sapphire bracelet.

"Commander Xiao, I think that sapphire bracelet is very suitable for my sister."

The girl raised her eyebrows and looked at him. The husband her sister was looking for must be both civil and military. If she could win the sapphire bracelet, she would be fine with him.

When Shen Shaowei heard Shen Zhiyi's words and looked at Xiao Zian's eyes towards her, the tips of her ears turned slightly red. She noticed the difference between Xiao Zian and her yesterday. Today he came to her early in the morning and said I want to take her to watch the horse racing.

Looking at the handsome face of the young man, Shen Shaowei actually agreed by some mistake. Unexpectedly, he was a little embarrassed when he came here. Fortunately, Xiao Zian was a talkative, so the atmosphere eased.

Zhizhi couldn't have said this because he saw something. Thinking of this, Shen Shaowei took Shen Zhiyi's hand and said, "No need, I"

"Isn't it just a bracelet? I'm going to win it back now."

He has long been interested in the sapphire bracelet, but it's a pity that it has no reputation. Now he can see what Shen Zhiyi means. Isn't this just testing himself? Then he really has to show off.
