The ship destroyed by the fire has completely sunk into the river, and some blackened driftwood is floating on the river.

When Qin Xiao interrogated Yu Xuanwu, Fat Fish and others did not dare to neglect and patrolled the boat, fearing that the group of men in black would leave and come back.

The origin of the group of men in black was unclear, but they were clearly well-trained. After seeing the official ship, more than a dozen people were able to escape by jumping into the water as soon as possible, and each one of them had excellent water skills. Is this group of people able to escape quickly?

Escape is impossible.

 After all, they are familiar with the properties of water. Even if they are lurking around and waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack, it is not impossible.

 Qin Xiao was full of doubts at this time.

It is really strange for a woman to marry a man and, after several years have passed, she cannot figure out what the man does for a living. However, although Yu Xuanwu's explanation is strange and may sound unreasonable, it is not necessarily false.

“So, does he know about your visit to Beijing this time?” Qin Xiao was silent for a moment and finally asked.

Yu Xuanwu shook his head and said, "I...I don't know either."

“I don’t know?” Qin Xiao frowned: “Mrs. Wang, is this question difficult to answer?”

Yu Xuanwu looked at Qin Xiao and said sincerely: "A common woman knows that you will be very strange and will question your words, but a common woman dare not deceive you. A common woman... When a common woman comes to Beijing, she is indeed your husband."

Instructions, but...if the husband knows that the civilian woman has left for Beijing, the civilian woman is really not sure."

Qin Xiao was originally quick-thinking, but Yu Xuanwu's words made Qin Xiao confused. He felt that what Yu Xuanwu said was inconsistent, but her expression was clear and sincere. It didn't seem to be like that.

is lying.

“Speak clearly.” Qin Xiao rubbed his eyebrows.

Yu Xuanwu explained for a long time, and his mood has stabilized a lot now. After drinking two sips of tea, he finally asked Qin Xiao: "Do you dare to ask, a commoner woman... I dare to ask, are you a court official from Kyoto?"

 She was born in a music industry and is a person who has seen the world. She is not as timid as ordinary women. After calming down, her conversation is quite generous.

Purple-clothed prisoner Chen Xi wanted to conceal his identity. Qin Xiao's trip was under the guise of patrolling, so there was no need to hide it. He nodded and said: "I am the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. I am traveling to Jiangnan to inspect Jiangnan criminal cases."

Yu Xuanwu's charming face showed a look of surprise.

She had seen everyone on the boat treat Qin Xiao with respect, and knew that Qin Xiao's status was not low, but she never expected that this young man turned out to be the young minister of Dali Temple.

She naturally knew that the status of the young minister of Dali Temple was not low. She just felt that the young man could hold this position at this age, probably because of his background. In any case, this young man's status was indeed extraordinary.

"You are from Jiangnan, this case can be considered a Jiangnan case, and I happened to meet you this time, so naturally you can't turn a blind eye." Qin Xiao said: "If you really have any grievances, tell the truth, I will

I may not be able to make the decision for you."

Yu Xuanwu lowered his head, thought for a while, finally stood up, put down his teacup, knelt down and said, "A citizen woman... A citizen woman, please make the decision!"

“Get up and talk.” Qin Xiao stood up with Yu Xuanwu, and then asked: “I didn’t understand what you just said.

 (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Since you said it was Wang Hongcai who ordered you to come to Beijing, then he certainly knows everything about your coming to Beijing, but why can't you be sure whether he knows?"

"Sir, this is what happened." Yu Xuanwu's eyes turned red and he said softly: "As early as more than a year ago, my husband returned to Suzhou City and stayed with me in those days. Every time he came back, he was in a good mood.

, brought back clothes and jewelry, and liked to drink some side dishes I cooked for him. When he drank, I would sing a few songs to him. After getting married, he always lived like this every time he came back.

I never disliked him. But that day, my husband was in a bad mood. Although he was still drinking and listening to music, he was clearly preoccupied and absent-minded."

 “Approximately when?”

“At the beginning of spring last year,” Yu Xuanwu said, “yes, it was the Shangsi Festival. On the second day of March, the woman remembered that the next day was the Shangsi Festival, and my husband took me out for an outing to the lake.”

 Qin Xiaowei nodded and said, "Continue talking."

"The woman saw that he was in a bad mood. Although she knew it was not easy to ask about his affairs, he didn't say anything all night and just drank. So she still had the courage to ask him if he had anything on his mind." Yu Xuanwu smiled bitterly.

He said: "My husband lost his temper at that time and scolded me for being too talkative. I didn't dare to ask any more questions. But when I slept until midnight that night, my husband suddenly woke me up and told me something."

 Qin Xiao suddenly concentrated his attention and asked: "What do you want me to do?"

"He told me that he has been doing something important, and that matter cannot be known to outsiders, otherwise not only his life may be in danger, but even his family may not survive." Yu Xuanwu looked serious and recalled.

: "But I have never seen his family since I married him. I have no idea whether his parents are still alive or whether he has any brothers and sisters. He suddenly mentioned his family in the middle of the night. I was very surprised.

, He said he didn’t tell me what he did to protect me, because the more I knew, the more dangerous it would be.”

“So you still don’t know what he does for a living?”

Yu Xuanwu nodded: "Yes. That night, he told me that at the end of each month, he would have four days of rest time, so he could go home and rest at a fixed time. This has been the case for many years."

Here, her expression became solemn: "My husband told me that if he suddenly didn't come home in any month, something must have happened. Let me wait for one more day. If there is no news, then something serious must have happened to him.

Either dead or in danger...!"

Qin Xiao was horrified, hearing Yu Xuanwu's voice choked with sobs: "He told me that if one day he suddenly disappears, I will leave home immediately, find another place to hide, and wait for about three days.

, I secretly looked for Yang Cai and hired Yang Cai to escort me to Beijing. That night, he specifically gave me twenty taels of gold and asked me to keep the gold and not to use the twenty taels of gold no matter what happened.

If something happens one day, the twenty taels of gold will be given to Yang Cai as employment capital."

“According to what you say, Wang Hongcai has disappeared?”

"Yes." Yu Xuanwu nodded and said: "When he said this, he was very serious and I was very scared. But since then, he has never mentioned it again, and he has come home on time every month since then.

I gradually forgot about that incident, but I kept the twenty taels of gold at home and didn’t dare to use it. But at the end of last month, when the day came, he didn’t come back. I felt that something was wrong at that time. After three days, I didn’t see him.

At the slightest trace, I remembered his original confession and couldn't help thinking

 (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

 To think that this day will actually happen."

When Qin Xiao heard this, he also thought it was strange.

Wang Hongcai predicted that something would happen one day more than a year ago, so he made an announcement early on. In other words, what he did was indeed extraordinary and involved great risks.

“He didn’t come back, so you followed his instructions and hired Yang Cai to escort him to Beijing?”

There was fear in Yu Xuanwu's eyes: "I didn't go to Yang Cai immediately. Instead, I followed his instructions and found another place to hide for a few days. But only one day later, I got the news.

The yard where I lived suddenly caught fire, and the house burned in the middle of the night. By the time someone put out the fire, the house had been burned down to only the ruins." He clenched his fists with both hands, and his body trembled: "What if?

If I had left one day later, I might have been burned to death inside."

Qin Xiao did not expect that this case would be so weird and bizarre, and asked: "Did Wang Hongcai leave anything for you?"

"No...no!" Yu Xuanwu looked a little flustered, lowered his head and said softly: "He...he only left me money, no...no other things.

."

Qin Xiao shook his head and sneered: "No. It is not easy to burn a house. Those people will never burn the house down for no reason. This will only attract the attention of the government and even cause more trouble. If it is not purposeful,

They won't do such a thing." He stared at Yu Xuanwu and said slowly: "If they were just looking for you, and since they didn't find you, they would just leave. Why would they burn down the house? I thought about it, and there was only one possibility.

"

Yu Xuanwu raised his head and looked at Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao said lightly: "Mrs. Wang, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. Your identity is actually just the singer Wang Hongcai raised at home. Unless you conceal your identity, otherwise

There is no need for those people to attack a singer. Since they are looking for you, it is definitely not because of you, but because you have something they need, and that thing should be left in your hands by Wang Hongcai. If it is true

If you have this thing, then I can be sure that this thing will be very detrimental to those who burned the house. They should have searched the house before burning the house. They did not find what they wanted, and they are not completely sure about that thing.

He carried it with him, so when he set the house on fire, he actually wanted to burn that thing down."

Yu Xuanwu's eyes showed surprise, obviously he didn't expect Qin Xiao to be so alert.

Her lips moved slightly, but she stopped talking.

"You just said that you want me to make the decision for you, but you hide everything from me, how can you let me make the decision for you?" Qin Xiao said solemnly: "Wang Hongcai's life or death is uncertain now, but if he is really still alive, his body will be safe.

He is in danger, and only if I know all the clues can I help you save him."

Yu Xuanwu lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then finally said: "Sir, my husband...when my husband gave the instructions that night, he indeed...did leave something for me to carry with me.

, must not let a third person know the existence of that thing. He said that unless something really happens one day, he can bring the thing to Beijing and hand over the thing to a person.

people!"

Qin Xiao's eyes were sharp and he said: "So you hired Yang Cai and others to escort you to Beijing just to deliver that thing to Kyoto? Let me ask you, what is that thing you are talking about? When you get to Kyoto, you have to send that thing again.
