Feng Dali was slightly startled, and shook his head subconsciously, "Does Su Xiaolangjun think that the first fire incident is related to these cases? Impossible."

Seeing that he was so determined, Su Liuyue frowned slightly, "Why?"

"Because... the first fire incident was somewhat special."

Feng Dali looked around and signaled Su Liuyue to follow him to the corner, then he lowered his voice and said, "The Daqing Dynasty has only been established for half a year. On the surface, the resistance forces of the previous dynasty have not made any waves, but in fact, many people are still ready to make a move in secret.

What I said should have made Su Xiaolangjun guess that the first fire... was related to these secret resistance forces. The owner of the burned house was Xiao Chengbang, the steward of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. And unlike the subsequent fires, it was obvious at the scene that it was arson. There were several fire points, and all the exits and windows of the house were blocked. Xiao Chengbang's family of six huddled together and died at the gate. It was a tragic scene.

Xiao Chengbang came from the north with His Royal Highness Prince Wei, and he didn't know many people in the capital. Who would use such a vicious method to burn his family to death? We all suspected that it was the work of the resistance forces of the previous dynasty, so when this case happened, His Royal Highness took over the case personally. His Royal Highness Prince Wei even came to Jingzhao Mansion and lost his temper..."

Su Liuyue was stunned, she didn't know any of these things. However, Zhou Yunke had said before that she only needed to help Jingzhao Prefecture investigate the case, so they would never take the initiative to tell her about anything other than the murder case.

She was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, Your Highness has been secretly tracking down the murderer, or rather, the force, who set fire to Xiao Chengbang's family? Have you found any clues yet?"

"I don't know about that. This case is a top secret even in Jingzhao Prefecture. Even if ordinary people are curious, they dare not discuss it casually in private."

Feng Dali looked around cautiously and said, "Now that the war is over, your highness doesn't have to take care of the trivial matters in the military camp. Why do you think your highness is so busy all day long? Isn't it just tracking down various rebel forces? I heard that there are more than one of those forces, all over the country, and even several in some places. I don't know if they are connected to each other.

Since the founding of Daqing, those forces have actually done a lot of small tricks in secret, but now the overall situation has been determined, and most people already have many complaints about the previous dynasty. Without the support of the people, it is difficult for them to succeed in doing anything.

If the burning of the house of His Royal Highness Prince Wei's chief steward was really done by those forces, then it would be the biggest thing they have done so far."

As he spoke, Feng Dali could not help but mutter with disdain: "It's just that burning a mere steward and his family to death is nothing! It's just to irritate His Royal Highness the King of Wei! In a war, people know to capture the leader first. This group of people probably saw that there was no hope of capturing the leader, so they took out their anger on the innocent soldiers. I don't think they are capable!"

indeed.

Burning down a steward's house had no strategic purpose at all, it was simply done to vent anger.

This kind of gang is probably not a formal gang, so it shouldn't be difficult to catch them.

Su Liuyue immediately asked, "Did Your Highness go to Jingzhao Prefecture today?"

Feng Dali was stunned and said, "When I went to Jingzhao Prefecture this morning, I saw your highness' carriage..."

After a pause, he finally realized something and opened his mouth to ask, "Young Master Su, do you still think that the first fire case is related to the case where these scholars were burned to death?"

Although in his opinion, the two cases were quite different, he suddenly remembered what Su Liuyue had just said, that the murderer might be someone who suddenly lost the qualification to take the imperial examination, or someone who had passed the examination with great difficulty but was deprived of his status as a Jinshi.

These people, or the families they belong to, must be more or less related to those families that were still resisting stubbornly in the late period of the previous dynasty.

Those families were once prominent and powerful families in the previous dynasty. People who were related to them could be said to benefit from their success. Now that those families have fallen, these small characters will surely be dragged down with them.

If this is the case, these people must have strong dissatisfaction with the Daqing Dynasty, and it is normal for them to join those rebellious forces. From this point of view, the murderer of the scholar's burning case and the murderer who burned Xiao Chengbang's family to death do seem to be related!

Su Liuyue didn't have time to explain, so she nodded and said, "You stay here to deal with the next matter. Quting Village is not far from the city, and people from Jingzhao Prefecture will surely come soon.

I will go back to Jingzhao Prefecture first to see if His Highness is still there."

After saying that, without waiting for Feng Dali to say anything, he turned around and walked quickly out of the village, got on the carriage and headed straight for Jingzhao Prefecture.

Fortunately, when she returned to Jingzhao Prefecture, Zhou Yunke was still there. She went straight to Zhou Yunke's office. When Feng Yang saw her, he went in to report, then came out and said respectfully, "Miss Su, please."

Su Liuyue sometimes admired the people around Zhou Yunke. When there were other people around, they would call her Su Xiaolangjun, and when there were no one else around, they would call her Su Girl. They could change the name so frequently without getting confused.

Su Liuyue nodded and was about to go in. Feng Yang hesitated for a moment and suddenly whispered, "His Highness ate the cakes from last time. He said they were quite delicious."

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned, paused slightly, and looked at him.

He was also responsible for the mistake of throwing the pastries last time. Although neither Miss Su nor His Highness blamed him, Feng Yang still felt embarrassed when he thought about it sometimes.

So for the first time, I took the initiative to talk to others about His Highness, just to let Miss Su know that His Highness still values ​​her very much!

"Although His Highness only ate two pieces of that... mochi, His Highness never took the initiative to eat food from outside before, and he doesn't like sweets very much. This is the first time he made an exception for Miss Su."

Su Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly. She had to say that she was in a good mood when she heard that the things she gave away were valued so much.

She knew that this was not easy for Zhou Yunke. Just like she had said when they chatted last time, it was not that Zhou Yunke could not touch others, nor that he could not eat the food given to him by others. It was just that because of his mysophobia, he would feel uncomfortable.

That feeling is probably like a person with acrophobia forcing himself to stand on a high place, or a person with claustrophobia forcing himself to stay in a dark room.

He really took what she said last time to heart.

She couldn't help but smile a little, and said, "Thank you Commander Feng for telling me specifically."

Then he walked into the room.

The man on the main seat had already sat up straight. He looked at her as she walked in and asked calmly, "Why did you come in so late? What did you say to Feng Yang?"

Even from a distance, you can see the smile on her face like a flower.

What are you talking about so happily?
Su Liuyue felt that she liked Zhou Yunke a lot more now, and raised her lips and said, "Your Highness, do the mochi I made taste good?" (End of this chapter)
