Fragrance Returned

Ding Xiang stood up, put the letter in the drawer under the bed, and took out a stack of papers from it.

This is the "memo" she jotted down.

Some of the people inside were already dead, and some of the survivors were witnesses, and even more were criminals.

Before, she thought she would have to work hard to draw out the clues bit by bit, but she didn't expect to get to know Master Mingyuan and borrow many things from his mouth.

Coupled with the addition of Qiu Wangzhi, a Jinwu guard, the truth was found out so quickly.

Father and mother were mentally prepared, but grandpa...

It's better for dad to tell him this matter.

Ding Xiang sighed heavily, put the pile of papers in the drawer, locked it, and walked heavily to Zhuxuan.

Ding Zhuang walked violently up and down the corridor with his hands behind his back, and Hei Wa followed slowly behind.

When Ding Zhuang saw his granddaughter coming, his eyes turned into slits with laughter.

He raised his hand to pull the snowflakes off her head and shoulders, and complained, "Why are you coming out here when the snow is so heavy? Just let me pass."

Ding Xiang hugged Grandpa and rested her little head on Grandpa's chest.

She is already 1.5 meters tall, just as tall as her grandfather's shoulders.

"Come inside quickly, it's cold."

Two people and a dog entered the house.

Ding Zhuang felt that his granddaughter was not in a high mood and asked, "What's wrong, granddaughter? Who made you angry again?"

Ding Xiang's little face rubbed his clothes, "Master is so powerful, who dares to mess with me. I don't know why, I suddenly felt sad, uncomfortable, and wanted to cry."

The sound was loud and angry.

Ding Zhuang held up his granddaughter's face, her eyes were red and her mouth was pouted.

He said, "Listen to me, read less books. They say that if you read too many books, it is easy to... hurt what spring and autumn, or spring and summer?"

"It's sad for spring and sad for autumn. Master, you smell so good."

Ding Zhuang liked hearing his granddaughter's sweet words and laughed, "Haha, my granddaughter is always good at making me happy. My smell is not good, it smells like pig iron."

He doesn't like men with scent all over their bodies, so he never wears honey-scented pendants.

Lilac whispered, "I like the smell of pig iron."

This smell, like the smell of earth and grass, has been with her since she grew up, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't smell it for a day.

The grandfather and grandson were chatting, and soon it was noon.

The two went to the main courtyard to have lunch.

During this time, Ding Zhao was at home and did not go to "Baotie".

Before the meal was finished, Manager Tang from the Dong Mansion suddenly came.

Ding Zhuang and his son hurried to the front hall.

Manager Tang is also a distinguished guest in the Ding family, so he must be entertained in the hall.

Manager Tang looked stern and said in a low voice, "My Marquis asked me to come and tell the old lady that the Jinwu Guards suddenly surrounded the Xun Mansion early this morning and captured all the masters except the old lady and Brother Qian, as well as several members of the Gu family. All the servants have been captured by Jin Wuwei."

Ding Zhuang was so frightened that he lost his mind, "Even the female family members were arrested. Why?"

Ding Zhao was prepared, but he was still shocked when he heard that the female children of Xun Qianli and Xun Qianyue were also arrested.

Mr. Tang piped up, "I don't know. The Marquis said that they are all relatives. He is afraid of being implicated, so he asked you to be prepared."

This is a reminder for Ding Zhao to be prepared.

Ding Zhao said, "Don't worry, cousin, I understand."

After sending Mr. Tang away, Ding Zhuang took Ding Zhao and whispered, "Zhaozi, will it happen that dad secretly helps others with swords and forges artillery barrels? If it happens, just say that dad will do it alone." Yes, if I protect you, I can protect this whole family."

Ding Zhao looked at his father and said that he had to talk about it.

His eyes were full of guilt, and he knelt down and said, "Dad, my son has been hiding something from you."

Ding Zhuang said impatiently, "Hurry up and talk nonsense. You are hesitating like a woman. Get up and say it."

Just as Ding Zhao was about to say something, Zhang and Ding Xiang walked in holding each other.

Li asked, "What happened?"

Ding Zhao told Mr. Tang what he said.

Zhang's face turned pale with fright.

Ding Xiang wondered, only the old witch Gu and Xun Qiansong and his wife were involved, why did they arrest everyone in the Xun mansion?

It makes sense if you think about it.

This is the ancient continuous sitting.

Mrs. Gu is the stepmother. After the investigation is clear and the victim Xun Qiandai pleads for mercy, the Xun Qianli and Xun Qianyue families should not be greatly affected.

Old Master Xun is the emperor's master, and he has been paralyzed in bed. The emperor will definitely be lenient.

The people directly responsible, Gu and Xun Qiansong, are in serious trouble. Xun Shi was incompetent and Xun Yiming and Xun Yizhi were the sons of criminals, so these people could not get away with it...

Ding Zhao looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes were red.

From now on, she will no longer be his daughter.

I was heartbroken, let alone my father.

He said to Mrs. Zhang, "Dad and I have important matters to discuss. You and Xiangxiang should go back. Spend more time with each other..."

There won't be many opportunities like this anymore.

Just as he was talking, Li Maigao ran in again and shouted, "Old Master, Master, it's not good, many Jinwu Guards with knives on their backs have come to our house."

Several people were startled, looked at each other, and walked out of the hall.

More than twenty Jinwu guards had already walked around Zhaobi, led by Qiu Wangzhi.

Ding Zhao stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Master Qiu, what are you..."

Qiu Wangzhi cupped his hands and said, "Master Ding, there is a case that requires you, Madam Ling, and Ling Qianjin to cooperate in the investigation."

He shook his head at Lilac, meaning it was nothing, they were just doing routine.

In order to comfort the Ding family, he personally came to "invite" people.

Ding Xiang felt extremely uncomfortable.

This is for her parents to investigate the case and for her to prove her identity.

Ding Zhuang pulled Ding Xiang behind him and said loudly, "Master Qiu, my granddaughter is a child and my daughter-in-law is a woman. If I don't care about anything at home, I will go on their behalf."

Qiu Wangzhi whispered to him, "Old man, be smart and be obedient at this time. Don't worry, there is nothing serious in your family. If everything goes well, they will be able to go home later."

Ding Zhao looked at his father, knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Dad, please wait patiently at home. My son has been hiding something from you. I will tell you in detail when I get back."

Mrs. Zhang also understood, covered her mouth and started crying.

Qiu Wangzhi urged again, "Master Ding, they are still waiting over there, please come."

Ding Zhao stood up and said, "Let me get a key piece of evidence."

Qiu Wangzhi nodded, "Yes."

Mrs. Zhang hurried to the inner courtyard.

Ding Chang asked in a loud voice, "You brat, you should tell me now what happened. Oops, I'm so anxious."

Qiu Wangzhi said, "Old man, please be patient. It's best to finalize the matter before we discuss it."

Mrs. Zhang came over a moment later with a small package.

The couple each held Ding Xiang's hand and walked out the door.

When I walked to the door, I met Dong Yihe and Dong Ping face to face.

I don’t know how they got the news and came in a hurry.

With them accompanying the old man, Ding Zhao and Ding Xiang felt relieved.

Several people nodded and passed by.

Ding Zhao and others got into a carriage in front of the door.

The car has a teak canopy and is spacious inside. The seats are covered with brocade, with a thin mattress placed on top and a small copper stove underneath.

It should be Qiu Wangzhi's personal car, and he had thoughtfully prepared these things.
