It took little effort to interrogate Xiao Yi and obtain testimony.

The Song Prefect and others found an iron saw that was exactly the same as the murder weapon in Xiao Yi's old house on the outskirts of the city. It is said that Xiao Yi specially prepared an extra saw in order to frame Zhang Ye, leaving the clean one in the ancestral house and throwing the bloody one into the house.

In the river.

Xiao Yi was afraid that there would be a serious crime, so he started to investigate the murder weapon, so that he could get rid of the crime.

Yun Xi handed over clear autopsy records, had a friendly exchange with the clerk of the prefect's Yamen, and left behind the method of making grass juice for blood testing, and Lu Qingfan said goodbye.

They were delayed in Lingshui City for three days and three nights, making their journey even more stressful.

On the day of departure, Magistrate Song came to the inn early in the morning and bumped into Lu Qingfan and his party who were about to leave.

"I knew you would leave early!" Magistrate Song said with an apologetic look: "Master Lu and Yun Zuo helped Lingshui City solve a major case, but we were busy writing files and couldn't treat everyone to a delicious meal...

"

"You're welcome, Mr. Song, we have to be on our way." Lu Qingfan's eyes were filled with helplessness, and he waved his hand to stop Magistrate Song's polite words.

Magistrate Song sneered, his eyes full of slyness: "Do you want to take the land route?"

"Does the prefect have a better way?" Leng Hai's eyes lit up: "Could it be..."

Can I take a boat?

Leng Chuan glared at his brother angrily, wondering why this guy looked like he had never seen the world wherever he went.

"We have made arrangements here, and we are sure to get you to Beijing on time! Shall we go?" Magistrate Song asked, but his hand involuntarily grasped Lu Qingfan's arm.

Lu Qingfan couldn't use force against a civil servant, so he nodded slightly: "But, Magistrate Song, let it go."

After receiving the guarantee, Magistrate Song smiled and let go. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Yun Xi and his entourage to follow.

"Oh, I really want to keep Yun Zuozuo! Such a talent will be excellent no matter where you put it. But..."

Magistrate Song looked at Yun Xi who was having snacks with the little maid behind him, "But the official already knew what the Lord was thinking, and also saw the tacit understanding between the Lord and Yun Wuzuo... Only by following the Lord, Yun Wuzuo could think about things.

become."

Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the tacit understanding between Yun Zuozuo and Mr. Lu to solve the case leaves no room for others to get involved!

Lu Qingfan was surprised at first, then warned in a stern voice: "My lord is joking, I don't have any other thoughts."

"I understand, I understand!" Magistrate Song immediately made a gesture of sealing his mouth, thinking bitterly in his heart that as soon as he mentioned what Yun Wu did, Mr. Lu changed from "I" to "my official".

Lu Qingfan and Magistrate Song looked behind each other at the same time. Qingguo didn't know what to say to amuse Yun Xi. Her pretty and white face looked even more beautiful in the sunlight.

Suddenly, Lu Qingfan's gaze on Leng Chuan froze: Why does this guy have such weird eyes?

Following Leng Chuan's gaze, Qing Guo rolled up his sleeves and stuffed another fruit into his mouth, which made the little bun's face bulge. Leng Chuan's eyebrows became softer and softer.

Leng Hai, who seemed to be feeling something, shook subconsciously and rubbed his arms.

Lu Qingfan pursed his thin lips, suppressed his smile, and looked away. Well, he was not the only one who had other thoughts.

Magistrate Song took Lu Qingfan and his party to the dock. Yun Xi looked at the big ship standing in front of her like a tower, and her lips were slightly opened in shock.

Such a big ship?

"Miss, this ship is several times bigger than the passenger ship we took when we went to Qingzhou!" Qingguo also exclaimed excitedly.

"Master Prefect, this ferry ticket is not cheap, isn't it?" Lu Qingfan looked at Prefect Song with a complicated expression.

As far as he knew, if you want to board a merchant ship of this size, you must not only have enough money to buy a ticket, but also have a good relationship with the boss of the ship. Otherwise, even if the king of heaven comes, you may not be allowed to go.

"The ticket was issued by Zhang Ye. He thanked the adults and his party for clearing his name, but he really didn't dare to show his face for fear of causing public anger. As for the boss of this ship, he has some friendship with me and agreed for us to board the ship; the east wind will come soon.

, if you take this boat and go down the river, you will definitely reach Jigang in less than six days, and then you can reach Beijing in two or three days by land."

As Magistrate Song spoke, he pursed his lips behind them, "You have helped Lingshui City a lot, and the people are grateful to you."

Yun Xi turned around and took a look, only to find that there were many people gathered behind them, many familiar faces, some carrying eggs and some holding dry food, all coming to see them off.

Here, Magistrate Song took two bundles from his subordinates: "Xiao Yi asked me to hand this over as a souvenir for Mr. Lu and Yun Zuo; in addition, there are several sets of coats in this bundle, belonging to my wife."

It has been done in the past two days. The wind is strong on the boat, so it is not easy for you to catch cold if you wear clothes."

Lu Qingfan hurriedly raised his hand to refuse: "It is our duty to solve the case. How can we feel so good that Magistrate Song makes us feel so good?"

"My own ingredients are not as good as Boss Xiao's craftsmanship. Do you think you dislike it?"

"Of course not!"

Magistrate Song spoke from the bottom of his heart, and the common people also kept saying, "Sir, please accept it!"

"We have prepared some specialties grown at home. Let the adults have a try!"

"I have boiled these ten eggs with brown sugar. They were hatched by the chickens at home, and they are given to Miss Qingguo as snacks on the road!"

"And mine too!"

"And mine too!"

…

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to pour it out. Once you accept the next person’s gift, you have to accept the gift from others.

"There are so many, so many delicious things!" Qingguo laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes, saying that he could still get them!

When they got on the boat, except Yun Xi, who was weak and had less in his hands, everyone else had various baskets and food hanging on their arms, arms, and even around their necks.

This time he walked like a juggler.

"Oh, you are not allowed to sell goods on my ship!" The rough voice was filled with a hint of smile, and the visitor urged: "Hurry up, the ship is about to sail!"

Yun Xi looked at the rough man greeting everyone and guessed that he might be the boss of the ship.

Everyone put down their things and said goodbye to everyone in Lingshui City.

"Bye now!"

"goodbye!"

Yun Xi waved her hands to bid farewell to Magistrate Song and others. The simple faces of the people in Lingshui City were always imprinted in her mind and could not be dissipated for a long time.

It wasn't until the ship completely sailed out of the port that Yun Xi murmured in a low voice: "Such a nice city and such simple people are so rich in money."

"This is like 'a rat excrement ruined a pot of soup'." Leng Hai picked up the basket on the ground again and said with a smile: "No wonder the boss of the ship doesn't let us sell goods, I see these baskets can be exchanged for money!"

Qingguo quickly shook his head: "Then I'm reluctant to sell it!"

Leng Hai took the initiative to ask a passing boatman: "Excuse me, where is our cabin?"

"Your surname is Lu?" the boatman asked. When Leng Hai nodded, he said, "I'll take you there."

"Thank you." Leng Hai hurriedly thanked him.

"The big ship is different. There are special people to take us to the cabin," Qingguo whispered to Leng Chuan behind him.

"Yeah." Leng Chuan replied with one word.

Qingguo has a flat mouth, and it's really boring to chat with Brother Sichuan.

She quickened her pace to catch up with her young lady, but she didn't notice the disappointed look behind her.

Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan each looked at the layout of the ship tacitly: the huge merchant ship had four floors, and now they were walking down to the next floor.

After about half a cup of tea, the burly boatman pointed to the two innermost rooms and whispered: "These two rooms are yours, please." After saying that, without waiting for Yun Xi and the others to thank him, the boatman

He left in a hurry.

"This man is so weird." Leng Hai added in a low voice and took the lead in pushing open a door.

"Um, the door is unlocked."
