Chapter 373: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (7)
The county magistrate's wife fainted on the spot, while the county magistrate was filled with grief and anger, and vowed to catch the murderer and avenge his daughter.
This time, many lives are involved, and there is also a young lady from an official family. The prefect of Jiangzhou attaches great importance to it. The whole Jiangzhou prefecture is in a panic and is trying its best to find the three evil people.
Who would have thought that less than three days after this incident, the lady from Zhang's Cloth Shop, the largest cloth shop in Jiangzhou City, also disappeared!
Before Magistrate Li had finished handling the funeral at home, he rushed back to the county government office to handle Miss Zhang's case.
At the same time, various forces sent people to assist in the investigation, and not long after, they found Miss Zhang Ji's body by the Xihe River.
Miss Zhang's death was horrific. She was thrown into the river naked. It was the boatman who found her in the morning and reported the case.
Afterwards, they found Miss Zhang's maid and servant not far away.
When Yan Xue and her group arrived in Jiangzhou, it was exactly the fifth day after the incident.
Yan Xue sat in the carriage and looked out through the curtains. She saw that there were very few people entering the city, which made their twenty or so carriages look particularly out of place.
At this time, Su Shijing was waiting anxiously at the city gate. Looking at the huge team of carriages not far away and the fourth brother walking in the front, he hurriedly rode his horse to meet them.
"Fourth Junior Brother!" Su Shijing shouted loudly.
The fourth brother heard the voice, pulled the reins and slowed down the horse: "Third Brother."
When Yan Xue heard the voice of her third senior brother, she couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and ran towards Su Shijing: "Third senior brother!"
Su Shijing looked at the lively little sister in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and a doting smile appeared on his face.
"Girl, you didn't even tell me in advance and just suddenly said you were moving your whole family here. I was really shocked!"
Yan Xue chuckled: "Hey, Third Brother, I just want to give you a surprise! By the way, have we arranged where to stay?"
Su Shijing reached out to touch his junior sister's head, but thinking that she had grown up now, he withdrew his hand.
"Girl, why don't you even wear a veil? If the master knew about this, he would definitely scold you again."
Yan Xue stuck out her tongue mischievously: "Oh, Third Brother, I forgot! I'll put it on later, don't worry!"
Because Yan Xue's appearance was so outstanding, her father Yan Shoushan required his daughter to cover her face with a veil when she went out.
Therefore, outsiders have no idea what Yan Shoushan’s only daughter looks like.
"Brother, is everything ready in the house?" Yan Xue asked.
"Everything is ready, but the houses in the city are relatively small. There is still some gap compared to our villa. I am sorry that you have been wronged." Su Shijing replied.
Yan Xue smiled and said, "It's okay. I don't feel wronged at all."
Then, she looked around and asked in confusion, "Isn't Jiangzhou very lively? Why is it so deserted here?"
Su Shijing showed a complicated expression on his face, and said softly: "Let's go, I'll tell you slowly when we get home."
Yan Xue got on the carriage. Su Shijing looked at the long line behind. The junior sister really moved her home here.
He rode quickly to the city gate and gave a few instructions to the soldiers guarding the city. Then more than 20 carriages passed through the checkpoint smoothly.
At the same time, in Zuiyue Tower, a man was drinking and having fun, accompanied by a group of singing girls.
Suddenly, Qin Yu hurried in to report: "Prince, there is news that the only daughter of the former Wulin leader Yan Shoushan has entered the city."
Hearing this, Duanmu Ci frowned and muttered to himself: "Yan Shoushan... is he the martial arts leader who died half a year ago?"
Qin Yu nodded quickly and responded: "That's right, I heard that he was also killed by the Three Evils."
"Is that woman here for revenge?"
Qin Yu nodded, "It should be."
“That may be good news for us.”
"Yes, the Three Evils are too abominable. In Jiangzhou alone, they have taken more than a dozen lives in just half a month."
Duanmu Ci frowned and asked solemnly, "Hasn't there been any trace of them recently?"
Qin Yu shook his head helplessly, his tone full of doubt, "It's strange, since the last crime, the three of them seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
However, we have organized people to search every house, and we don't believe that we can't find these three guys even if we dig three feet deep!"
Here, Su Shijing led Yan Xue to a gate. Yan Xue got off the carriage lightly, looked around, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Yan Xue nodded slightly and praised: "It's quite quiet here, it looks good."
Su Shijing smiled and responded, "Of course, the house here is the most expensive location in the entire Jiangzhou City, so it is naturally quiet and pleasant."
After that, the group walked into the yard together.
As soon as she stepped into the yard, Yan Xue looked at it carefully and couldn't help but nodded and praised: "It looks quite big."
Su Shijing explained with a smile: "Yes, this mansion has five entrances in total, which is just enough for our large family to live in."
"Yes, Third Brother, this courtyard is quite beautiful."
Su Shijing glanced at his fourth apprentice brother and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Yan Xue walked while admiring the surrounding scenery. The entire mansion was exquisitely built with carved beams and painted rafters, showing luxury and elegance. Su Shijing carefully introduced every detail to the side.
Yan Xue sighed in her heart, it's good to be rich! But then she thought, that's not right, he bought such a good yard as soon as he arrived?
Yan Xue frowned and said, "Is this yard newly bought?"
Su Shijing nodded and smiled, saying, "I can't hide it from you. I bought this yard a year ago. I originally wanted Master to come and stay for a while. Who knew...
But it would be a good idea for us to come and stay here now. The backyard has been cleaned up. Junior sister, you are tired from the journey, so you should go and rest first."
Yan Xue nodded, and walked towards the backyard with her eight maids and two old women.
In the middle of the night, Yan Xue was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened by the sound of hurried horse hooves.
She sat up suddenly and asked softly, "Xiao Guang, what's going on outside?"
"Host, the three evils of Jianghu have appeared, but fortunately the officers and soldiers of Jiangcheng discovered them in time, and the victim has not been raped yet."
Yan Xue frowned. These evil people were really abominable. She called Bao Ya and ordered, "Go outside and take a look at the situation."
