Before Xiao Huanzhang could speak, he heard the sound of horse hooves, and saw another group of people flying over in the distance. He was almost close to him, and several horses stopped. When everyone saw that it was several officials from the Ministry of Justice, Luo Dingxi frowned first.

He informed the people from the Ministry of Justice to go to the crime scene, but according to time, these people obviously returned before they arrived at the scene.

Then he saw several officials from the Ministry of Justice coming over. The man looked very embarrassed. Luo Dingxi had already stepped forward and asked, "Why are you back so soon? Have you ever been to the crime scene?"

"When we were halfway through the throne, we met this person. Commander Lu continued to take people to the scene and sent us a few to bring him back." An official sent an official.

"Who is this person?"

"This man is named Huang Ye, and he was a servant who went back to the city with the second young master last night."

The man's voice was very loud, and everyone around him heard it. Xiao Huanzhang's eyes twitched, but Xiao Jingsheng rushed up with anger, grabbed the guard Huang Ye's collar, and said sternly: "Jingqian was killed, have you actually escaped?"

"Big Young Master, please listen to the villain's explanation." Huang Ye said in horror: "The villain is definitely not leaving the second young master to escape, there is another reason for this."

"Let him come here." Xiao Huanzhang said in a deep voice.

Xiao Jingsheng smiled coldly and let go of Huang Ye's collar. Huang Ye then ran to Xiao Huanzhang, kneeled down on the ground, his voice still filled with horror: "God to the Governor!"

"Did you follow Jingqian back to the city last night?"

"After my words, last night, the second young master led the seven of us back together." Huang Ye lowered his head, "Walking up halfway, he encountered an ambush. The second young master was killed. The villain thought to report the details to the adult, so he rushed out to the death. It was not that the villain was greedy for life and feared death."

Xiao Huanzhang said: "Seven? Aren't there nine horses in total? Only seven people followed Jingqian?"

"There are eight in total, but when I arrived at the ambush site, one suddenly disappeared." Huang Ye explained: "Now I think that the man deliberately slowed down his horse and knew there was an ambush ahead, so he escaped halfway."

"Who is that person?"

"The villain doesn't know him." Huang Ye said: "He passed by the capital city and specifically informed the second young master...!"

Everyone around looked at each other, and they were shocked. They thought to themselves that Xiao Huanzhang was indeed smart. He had just guessed that Xiao Jingqian's death had something to do with the Fucheng. Now it seems that it was Fucheng who really sent someone to convey the message, which led to Xiao Jingqian rushing back overnight.

"What news is reported?" Xiao Jingsheng asked in a deep voice.

Huang Ye shook his head and said, "The villain didn't know. The man secretly met the second young master. After seeing the second young master, he didn't know what he said. The second young master took us to the city overnight."

Xiao Jingsheng asked again: "You said that Fucheng sent someone there, so who sent him?"

Huang Ye hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, but did not dare to speak.

"Who sent it?" Xiao Huanzhang finally asked, "You can say whatever you know."

Huang Ye then said: "As far as the villain knows, it should be the Governor's Office... Butler Liu from the Governor's Office sent him here..."

"Butler Liu?" Xiao Huanzhang and others' expressions changed. Xiao Jingsheng had already frowned and asked, "Do you think it's Liu Qian?"

Huang Ye said: "The villain heard that."

Xiao Jingsheng frowned and looked at Xiao Huanzhang, and said strangely: "Father, Liu Gan sent someone to find Jingqian? What did he send someone to say? Jingqian would actually come back overnight?"

Xiao Huanzhang's eyes flashed, and after a moment, he said, "It's almost dark, it's too cold at night, don't let Jingqian freeze. Jingsheng, you go back to the mansion first, set up a mourning hall, Luo Dingxi, you take people back to the Governor's Mansion immediately and arrest Liu Gan... Xiao Heng accompanied Jingqian home with this governor!"

The Governor's Office of Beishan Road had already set up a mourning hall in the fastest time. In the middle of the night, Xiao Jingqian's body was washed and put on the spirit bed, and carried it into the mourning hall.

The mansion was filled with miserable concubines, and Xiao Jingqian's wives and concubines were already crying in the mourning hall.

News of Xiao Jingqian's murder soon spread in the city. Although it was late at night, many officials from various yamen rushed to the Governor's Office overnight.

However, a white banner was hung in front of the Governor's Mansion, but he closed the door to thank the guests. He did not accept the officials into the mansion for the time being, but only asked everyone to come and worship after dawn.

Xiao Huanzhang sat in the mourning hall. It was already very cold in the early winter night. Xiao Huanzhang was wearing a brocade robe and leaning on the chair. At this time, he looked like he was aged in his teenage years and looked haggard.

Several of Xiao Jingqian's wives and concubines were still crying loudly, and some maids could only accompany them to shed tears.

Mrs. Xiao stood beside Xiao Huanzhang, put on a plain dress, and a white belt tied around her waist. Her beautiful face was full of sadness. She held a white handkerchief in her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes from time to time.

"Don't cry." Xiao Huanzhang finally shouted, "Everyone out, all out..."

The wives and concubines stopped crying and did not dare to stay in the mourning hall. They all left one after another. Xiao Huanzhang quietly looked at the corpse on the spirit bed, feeling heartbroken.

At this moment, someone walked in outside the door, but it was Luo Dingxi. When he arrived in front of Xiao Huanzhang, he bowed and said softly: "Sir..."

"How is the question?" Xiao Huanzhang looked up and asked, "Did he do it?"

"No." Luo Dingxi shook his head and said, "After an hour, all the punishments he should have been used. He always insisted that he had not sent anyone to Yutian, and he did not send anyone to send any news."

Xiao Huanzhang sneered: "I didn't expect that the official in charge of the Imperial Supervisor was still very strict."

Luo Dingxi whispered: "Sir, although this is the case,... Judging from his situation, it seems that he really doesn't know that such a thing is."

Xiao Huanzhang looked at Luo Dingxi. Luo Dingxi hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Sir, I guess, if the person who went to report the news was really not sent by Liu Gan, I'm afraid there is something else in between."

"What's the meaning?"

"Is it possible that someone else went to Yutian under the name of Liu Gan?" Luo Dingxi thought, "Liu Gan confessed, and the second young master did instruct him that if something major happened in the city, he would immediately send someone to inform him..."

Xiao Huanzhang's eyes twitched, "You mean someone knows the privacy of Jingqian and Liu Gan, and use it?"

“There is this possibility.”

"Master, I think this is very unlikely." Mrs. Xiao's voice came from next to her. Mrs. Xiao frowned slightly and said softly: "Master, if Jingqian really has a private relationship with Liu Gan, they should have a token. Otherwise, as Luo Tongzhi said, once someone knows the privacy of the two, he can just send someone to pretend. I think Jingqian will definitely not be so confused."

Xiao Huanzhang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, if they really have contacts in private, they must have agreed tokens."

Mrs. Xiao whispered: "Their tokens must be very secret and very important. If Liu Gan really has tokens in his hands, he will definitely be very confidential, and it is even more impossible to be known easily... In this case, if others do not have tokens in their hands, it will never be able to gain Jingqian's trust, and it is even more impossible to say that Jingqian will rush back to the city overnight."

"It makes sense, but the wife is still careful." Xiao Huanzhang deeply agreed.

Mrs. Xiao said again: "Liu Gan dares not explain, it may not be because he really doesn't know the truth, but the person involved behind this is too important, and Liu Gan dares not tell it easily..."

Luo Dingxi said: "If this is the case, we can only continue to interrogate and always pry open his mouth."

"You go and bring Huang Ye here." Xiao Huanzhang pondered for a moment, and finally said, "I have something to ask him."

When Luo Dingxi brought Huang Ye over, Mrs. Xiao had already put on another cloak for Xiao Huanzhang. Looking at Huang Ye who was lying on the ground, Xiao Huanzhang said softly: "Huang Ye, I asked you, did you leave before Jingqian was killed, or did you rush out when you saw Jingqian being killed?"

"Reply to the words of the Governor, the second young master's horse was knocked down by a tripping horse and fell down. We dismounted and rushed to the guard. A cold arrow was shot in the darkness, and several brothers died immediately." Huang Ye lowered his head, "We cannot get close to the second young master. The second young master shouted a few times, and the cold arrows were shot out over there. In the end, the only villain was left. When the second young master saw it, he shouted to leave...!"

"Is Jingqian asking you to leave?"

"Yes." Huang Ye said with a tough temper: "The villain dare not lie. It was because the second young master saw that the situation was not good, so he shouted that the villain would leave quickly. The villain refused, so the second young master scolded the villain. The villain knew what the second young master meant. He hoped that I could report what happened to him...!"

"What did Jingqian say at that time?"

Huang Ye lowered his head, dared not raise his head, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The villain dares not say...!"

"Why don't you dare?" Xiao Huanzhang frowned and said, "What did Jingqian say at that time?"

Huang Ye's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he finally said, "The second young master shouted at that time, and it seemed that he knew who set up a trap to ambush him..."

"Jingqian know?" Xiao Huanzhang sat up, held his hands on the chair handle, and said anxiously: "Speak quickly, what exactly is Jingqian shouting? Who is he suspicious of setting the trap?"

Mrs. Xiao also frowned, her breathing slightly, and put her hands on her chest, twisting the white silk in her hands.

Huang Ye looked up slightly, looked at Luo Dingxi, then looked at Mrs. Xiao, but after hesitating for a moment, Luo Dingxi couldn't help but urge, "Sir, please tell me quickly, the second young master suspected that the trap set by whom?"

"Second Young Master...the second young master was shouting...the second young master...the second young master raised his arm and wiped his forehead with cold sweat. "The second young master was shouting the eldest young master's name at that time..."

Xiao Huanzhang and Luo Dingxi both had a drastic expression. Mrs. Xiao's lips twitched slightly, but immediately scolded softly: "Don't talk nonsense, how could the second young master suspect that it was the eldest son who harmed him?"

Huang Ye said: "This big thing happened, and the villain dared not speak nonsense even if he beat him to death. At that time, the second young master shouted the eldest young master's name and asked the eldest young master to come out and fight him in a dignified manner..."

"Stop!" Luo Dingxi also shouted sternly.

Huang Ye hurriedly pressed his forehead against the ground, not daring to say more, and his whole body trembled. Xiao Huanzhang leaned dejectedly on the chair, raised his hand, and waved it weakly. Luo Dingxi understood Xiao Huanzhang's meaning, took Huang Ye out of the mourning hall, and whispered: "Don't leak a word if you say just now. It's best to forget everything from your mind now. If a word is leaked, not only your head, but your whole family will not be able to survive."

Huang Ye nodded quickly and said, "The villain understands, the villain remembers nothing."
