Yu Zhi came out of the back door of Wu'an Hou Mansion, and a child suddenly jumped out from behind, startling Yu Zhi and Shanzhu.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Where did this little beggar come from?" Shanzhu stood in front of Yu Zhi, stretched out his hand to catch the little beggar, and grabbed his ears.

The little beggar stood on tiptoe and kept shouting, "Hey, oh, oh, it hurts. Let go. I'm here to deliver a message to your wife."

Shengzhu didn't believe it, "You sent a message to our wife? I think you are talking nonsense."

The little beggar was unconvinced, "I'm not lying. Is your wife Mrs. Pingbeihou? Is she the third young wife of the Wen family?"

Shanzhu looked at Yu Zhi, who was also a little surprised and asked him: "Where is the letter? Who asked you to send it?"

"A tall sister, a little fierce, but very kind." After giving him two pieces of candy, the little beggar handed over the letter hidden in the ragged clothes, "Here, here is the letter, give it to you."

Shanzhu took the letter and handed it to Yu Zhi. When the little beggar saw the letter being sent out, he wanted to run away, but Yu Zhi caught him and asked, "How did you know that I am Mrs. Pingbei Hou?"

The little beggar said: "That sister said that you are as beautiful as a fairy."

Yuzhi...

Although this sounds very useful, why does she feel that it is unreliable?

She asked again: "Where is the sister who asked you to deliver the letter?"

"It was over there before." The little beggar pointed in one direction, "I don't know now."

Shangghu subconsciously walked in the direction he pointed, but Yu Zhi called out to her, "No need to go, he must have left." Otherwise, he wouldn't have let a little beggar deliver the message.

But this little beggar is brave and clever. She didn't even notice his cat was under the wall just now.

Yu Zhi looked towards Shanzhu, who understood, grabbed a handful of coins from the money bag and gave it to the little beggar, "Take it to buy food."

The little beggar's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that he was very moved, but he took a step back, put his hands behind his back, and shook his head, "That sister gave me candy, so I can't ask for your copper coins anymore." As if he was afraid of himself.

As if he would regret it, he turned around and ran away, and soon disappeared.

"He is a sensible person." Shengzhu was surprised and muttered. His eyes fell on the letter in the master's hand, "Young Madam, who will be the sender of the letter?"

"Go back." Yu Zhi took the lead and walked towards his mansion. As for the person who delivered the letter, Yu Zhi knew it well. Besides that dead girl He Xiaodie, who else could it be?

Is this girl still in Beijing? I don’t know how her injury is recovering. As for this letter? Yu Zhi decided to go back and read it again.

After returning to her room, Yu Zhi unfolded the letter, then frowned and remained silent for a long time.

The letter sent by He Xiaodie said that the real person behind the kidnapping case that caused a sensation in the city recently was Bai Guogong. Mr. Bai was just a scapegoat. The real person behind it was Bai Guogong.

.

The identity of the Yao woman named Yao is not simple either. She is the granddaughter of Chang Hanzhang, a scholar from the Wenhua Palace who was exiled twenty years ago. Her maiden name is Chang Hongyan. She was engaged to Duke Bai back then. This woman is related to Bai Guogong.

The Duke of Guo and Third Master Bai were both related, and they actually gave birth to a son. I don’t know whether it was Duke Bai’s or Third Master Bai’s, but the child later died.

After she turned out to be a guilty minister, no wonder this woman abducted and trafficked so many official girls. This was because she had suffered a misfortune and had a mental abnormality, so she became more and more reluctant to see other people's kindness.

The letter also mentioned that the Dongyang County magistrate who was assassinated years ago was a member of Bai Guogong. This person should know that it was not Bai Guogong's fault, but it was a pity that he died. He Xiaodie said that she would look for evidence...

Dongyang County? Yu Zhi knew about this. During the Chinese New Year, the magistrate of Dongyang County was assassinated and died in the official office. Her family member Xiaowen even made a special trip to Beijing for this matter because it was the New Year's Eve.

, so Yu Zhi remembers it very clearly.

Is he a member of Duke Bai? Was that county magistrate silenced by Duke Bai? The Imperial Academy's Jijiu was also assassinated. Is he also a member of Duke Bai?

He Xiaodie is a little girl hiding in Beijing, but she can find so many things. Yu Zhi is a little worried about her. Judging from the things in the letter, He Xiaodie may have a grudge against Bai Guogong? Otherwise, how will she treat him?

Such attention? So many secrets have been uncovered.

Yu Zhi felt that her mind was a little lost, so she might as well ask her Mr. Xiaowen to come back and discuss the details. Yu Zhi directly called Qingfeng, "I have something important to do, go and ask the third master to come back."

Didn't she leave Qingfeng at her disposal? No, it came in handy.

Wen Jiuxiao came back quickly and looked anxious. Seeing that Yu Zhi was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss me?" There was a little smile in his cold eyes.

Yu Zhi waved to him, "Come here and take a look at this."

Seeing her serious expression, Wen Jiuxiao stopped teasing her and took the letter handed over by Yu Zhi and read it.

"Where did it come from?" Wen Jiuxiao raised the letter in his hand.

"A little beggar sent it." Yu Zhi said, "It should be from He Xiaodie."

"He Xiaodie?" Wen Jiuxiao frowned. That girl Zhizhi had tried every means to get around? "She..."

"Don't ask, I don't know her details either." Yu Zhi said quickly. This wasn't a lie. She just vaguely guessed that she was from Chuixuelou, but she wasn't sure. "Third Master, what do you think it says?

Is it true or false?"

"What do you think?" Wen Jiuxiao asked.

"I think it's true." She always felt that He Xiaodie would not lie to her. There was no reason, just intuition. "Wouldn't it be enough to verify whether it is true? Someone must know about Bai Guogong's former fiancée, right? Also, right?

Although more than 20 years have passed, the Chang family will not all be dead, right? Even if the masters are gone, won't there still be slaves? There can always be one or two, right? There is also Mr. Bai's wife

, what a man does outside, as a pillow person, I don’t know everything, but I can always be aware of it, right?"

"You make sense!" Wen Jiuxiao nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the letter, "I suspect that the child did not die in infancy."

"You mean..." Yu Zhi's heart moved and he looked towards Wen Jiuxiao.

Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "How else can we explain Yao Yapo's transformation? She never thought about dying before. I suspect that someone used this child to force her to die. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone helped her. After all, she had to strangle her.

It also takes strength to die yourself. Yao Yapo was only rescued at that time, so she didn't have that strength."

"It's very possible." Yu Zhi agreed with his analysis, "Didn't you find anything when you went to Dongyang County a few years ago? I think this county magistrate can be investigated again, starting from his first year as an official.

Since then, even during the years when he was taking the imperial examination, we should investigate more deeply."

"It should indeed be so." The reason why the magistrate of Dongyang County was assassinated is still a mystery. From this point of view, the direction of the investigation at that time was wrong.

Yu Zhi stretched out and patted Wen Jiuxiao on the shoulder, "Sir Xiaowen, it's time to work. There's a long way to go! It's hard work, but I'm still waiting to be rewarded."

"Eating melon?" Wen Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows, "Are you greedy?"

"No, I'm talking about watching the fun." Across time and space, no matter how talented you are, Sir Wen, don't you still understand the meaning of eating melon?

I thought this incident was over, but I didn't expect that two days later, Wen Jiuxiao actually got two watermelons back. Of course, at this time, watermelons were not called watermelons, but cold melons.

I heard that these two melons came from the Imperial Manor and were begged by Wen Jiuxiao and the Emperor.

Yuzhi...

In a previous life, the watermelons grown at my grandpa's house in the countryside couldn't be sold, right? They have become a rarity here.
