Chapter 72

Feng Cheng's whole body became tense instantly.

Soon the boy's clear voice came: "It's me."

Feng Cheng relaxed and turned his head to look.

Lu Xuan stood beside her, with curiosity in her eyes: "Miss Feng is quite vigilant."

Such a keen reaction is usually achieved by those who have been practicing martial arts for many years.

But when he thought of the girl in front of him catching fish with bare hands, he felt nothing was wrong.

This may be the special thing about Miss Feng.

"Such coincidence, Master Lu is here too." Feng Cheng leaned against Lu Xuan when he was worried about being watched.

The faint fragrance penetrated into his nose, and Lu Xuan felt it smelled a little good and a little uncomfortable.

Being so close is worse than being at ease in a teahouse.

The boy thought a little awkwardly, and said without changing his face: "Miss Feng is a coincidence here."

These days he has been running around to find a maid on the painting. Jinshui River is the top priority, so what's strange about it here?

"Go over there and talk." Lu Xuan pointed to the weeping willows on the shore.

Now people are waiting here for fun, which is a good place to talk.

Feng Cheng hesitated for a moment and told Xiaoyu: "If Uncle San goes to the place where he boards the boat and waits for me, then go and talk to him."

Based on her understanding of Uncle San, Uncle San had to wait for Hua Niang to recognize the body before leaving. He told Xiaoyu to just be in case.

Xiaoyu nodded slightly and signaled to know.

The two of them went to the convenient place to talk and were much more relaxed.

"Did Mr. Lu see the drowning woman?"

Lu Xuan nodded: "I saw it just now."

He came here after he heard from his subordinates that he had discovered the drowning woman. He just stood in the crowd to observe the female corpse when he saw Miss Feng, the uncle who didn't look like his uncle walked out.

Common sense, Miss Feng shouldn't have appeared here, so how could she be the uncle who took her niece to the Jinshui River?

However, thinking that Miss Feng was also concerned about the whereabouts of the maid, it was daylight again, maybe it was possible that it was really coming.

Then he found the familiar face.

"Young Master Lu, do you think the drowning woman looks like a maid in the painting?"

“Somewhat looks like.”

Feng Cheng looked at the lively shore and looked forward to it: "I hope today is not in vain."

Lu Xuan was silent.

Why did he think Miss Feng is very lucky?

He sent people to guard the place all day long and it was calm. When Miss Feng arrived, she met a drowning woman who was suspected to have been painted with a maid.

At this time, the crowd was in a commotion: "The flower girl is here!"

Lu Xuan pointed in that direction with his chin and signaled Feng Cheng to follow.

The two quietly mingled into the crowd watching the fun and looked at the girl who was walking towards her.

Hua Niang was graceful and tall. She was supported by a maid of fourteen or fifteen years old, followed by two strong men.

The person who stretched his neck to watch the fun couldn't help but sigh regretfully.

Why is the face covered with veil? I can’t see the true appearance clearly?

Hua Niang arrived in front of the official and blessed her body: "I have met the official."

In front of everyone, it was difficult for the official to look at Hua Niang carefully and asked seriously: "But Miss Caiyun?"

Hua Niang said yes.

"Please ask Miss Caiyun to see if she knows this female corpse." The official sideways.

Hua Niang hesitated on the spot, looking frightened and uneasy.

"Look, look." Someone among the onlookers shouted.

Hua Niang mustered up the courage to look at the female corpse on the ground.

The moment she saw the face of the female corpse clearly, Hua Niang exclaimed: "Yingying!"

The little maid who came with Hua Niang also looked over with courage, and her little face suddenly turned pale: "It's really Sister Yingying!"

It seems that because they recognized the person, the two of them became less timid and more sad.

Hua Niang took a few steps closer and wiped the corners of her eyes frequently.

The little maid also kept wiping tears with the back of her hands.

The official waited for a while and asked, "Miss Caiyun, is it sure this is your maid Yingying?"

Hua Niang nodded slightly, her voice choked: "It's Yingying."

"Does Miss Caiyun know when Yingying disappeared?"

Hua Niang glanced at the female corpse lying on the ground and hesitated: "Maybe it was the second midnight, or this morning..."

The official frowned: "Yingying is your maid. I have probably never seen anyone since when? Does Miss Caiyun know?"

Hua Niang lowered her eyes and said, "We are sleeping late, and it's almost noon when we get up and wash up. I fell asleep last night probably at the beginning of the Chou, and Yingying was still there at that time."

At the beginning of the ugly moment? This is too late, no wonder I got up soon after noon.

The official whispered in his heart and asked the little maid: "When did you last meet Yingying?"

The little maid said timidly: "It's also night. We were still sleeping when we sent the man just now, and we didn't know that Sister Yingying was missing."

"Have Yingying offended people, or have any abnormalities recently?" The official asked as she looked at Hua Niang.

Hua Niang frowned slightly: "Do you doubt me?"

The official smiled and said, "That's not what it means. After all, a life must be more important. Miss Caiyun should not think too much."

Hua Niang was silent for a moment and said, "Yingying spent most of her time with a good temperament. She should not offend anyone. As for the abnormality-"

The official officer heard some meaning and hurriedly said, "Miss Caiyun, even if we say that we will make a judgment."

"This--" Hua Niang looked around and looked embarrassed.

The official pointed to the weeping willow not far away: "If Miss Caiyun finds it inconvenient, we can go there and talk."

Hua Niang nodded.

Seeing the official and Hua Niang go there, the onlookers sighed.

The fun is watching it well, why is this?

What is the difference between eating alone?

In the crowd, Feng Cheng and Lu Xuan looked at each other.

It was a coincidence that the official and Hua Niang went to where they were just talking.

Thousands of willow branches hang down, like green curtains.

The official officer couldn't wait to ask: "Miss Caiyun can say it now, right?"

Hua Niang sighed quietly: "Yingying has encountered something recently. A few days ago, a sister was sick, and Yingying looked very beautiful. She was at her good age, so her mother took her idea. Yingying didn't want to, so she cried to me several times. I kept begging my mother to give up, but she didn't mean to let go-away-"

Speaking of this, Hua Niang burst into tears: "Yingying must be unable to think so she jumped into the river..."

After asking this, the official officer felt that the matter was almost clear.

It is not uncommon for people who want to make a living in the Jinshui River to find short-term opinions.

"Miss Caiyun, Yingying's body--"

Hua Niang smiled bitterly: "This makes people take her body away. Yingying has been with me for so long and always has to be buried with her decently."

The official almost nodded and walked back to signal his subordinates to gather: "The man committed suicide by jumping into the river and leaving."

After interrogating for so long, several yamen runners were already sweating profusely and couldn't wait to finish the work after hearing this.

Hua Niang ordered the two strong men to carry Yingying's body away, leaving behind a group of people scratching their ears and heads.

Why did you jump into the river? You left without explaining it clearly. Isn’t this just a person who is curious to death?
