Bai Yixuan and Bai Yihui couldn't explain their reasons, but they naturally didn't know if the children were dead or alive. Although Bai Yixuan's mind was the worst case scenario, she was willing to believe that those children actually had a chance of survival.

Originally, Bai Yixuan had not been able to sleep well, but this time, she had more things on her mind, making her sleep even more restless. Bai Yixuan felt that it would be better for him to research and study the evidence now, in order to prove the relationship between the two of them.

After coaxing Bai Yihui back, Shen Run had only just had a child and he was still extremely weak. Therefore, Bai Yixuan felt that Bai Yihui should still be by Shen Run's side, his heart was also unable to calm down, but he knew what Bai Yixuan meant. Thus, he turned around and walked away, repeatedly instructing Bai Yixuan to rest well.

Bai Yixuan naturally did not rest, she sat in front of the table, dipped her brush into the ink, and began to slowly organize her thoughts.

Firstly, Bai Yixuan was certain that this matter was not a simple child trafficking case, but a premeditated case. This person definitely knew Li Dahe and Qiu Yongnian.

As for the reason why they were chosen, coupled with the fact that the sugar block had opium poppy in it, Bai Yixuan was sure that this person was a person who knew about it back then.

Li Dahe did not speak the truth, at least for so many years, Li Dahe had not truly given up on doing business with the opium poppy, but was still doing it. Li Dahe and Qiu Yongnian had definitely reached a peaceful agreement, or perhaps the two of them had something on each other, and in Bai Yixuan's eyes, it was very possible that the fire incident back then was caused by both of them.

If he thought that the person who provided the powder to Zhang Qianyi was Li Dahe, then why did Li Dahe have to raise such a useless person, it could only be that Zhang Qianyi knew of the truth between Li Dahe and him.

If Qiu Yongnian was truly a deranged person, then he definitely wouldn't be able to live past when Li Dahe was that kind back then. Therefore, what happened that year should have been done by Qiu Yongnian, Li Dahe and Zhang Qianyi together.

Then how did Zhang Qianyi die? How could someone who had been consuming this for a long time suddenly die at this moment? There were many coincidences, which often meant that this was not a coincidence.

After thinking about it so much that it made her head hurt, Bai Yixuan suddenly thought about it. If Mu Yefan was by her side now, would she look at him with a troubled expression and then help him think about it?

Bai Yixuan suddenly couldn't remember what Mu Yefan's eyes looked like anymore. Was it the despair in the palace when she said that she would marry Xiao Ziyi, or was it the despair when she tried to take revenge later, or was it the joy that appeared carefully in his eyes when she returned, that wasn't the time where Bai Yixuan first got to know him.

After tidying up the notes on the table, Bai Yixuan laid on the bed and thought about that absurd dream.

I wonder how Xiao Ziyi is doing now.

Wei Yuan looked at Xiao Ziyi, a little at a loss.

Xiao Ziyi looked at Xue Yuan and asked, "Xuanyuan, people who come to our Central Continent must have a name. Although you have a name, you don't have one in the end."

Wei Yuan had a premonition in his heart, but he was still unwilling to believe it. He only looked at Xiao Ziyi without speaking, and for the past few days, Wei Yuan had been recuperating from his injuries. Furthermore, he also knew that Xiao Ziyi's condition had improved quite a bit recently, as if it had started from that night onwards.

This time, when Xiao Ziyi suddenly called for Xue Yuan and himself, Wei Yuan roughly knew what Xiao Ziyi wanted to do.

"That's right, then Elder Brother Xiao, give me your surname."

"In the future, how about you have the same surname as Wei Yuan, Wei?"

"Alright, then I'll be called Wei Xueyuan from now on."

Xiao Ziyi smiled and asked, "I'll ask you again in the snowy plains, do you like Wei Yuan?"

"I like it, I like it so much."

The expression in Wei Yuan's eyes was complicated, on one hand, it was because of Xue Yuan's confession, and on the other hand, it was also because of Xiao Ziyi.

"Mistress, I …"

"Wei Yuan, you have followed by my side for so many years, I am grateful to you in my heart. But now, I only wish for you to tell me the truth."

Wei Yuan lowered his head, "Yes."

"Do you like the snowy plains?"

"I... "I like it."

"Alright, there's a reason why I'm giving you the Wei surname. In our Great Zhao, when a woman marries someone she likes, she has to be given the surname of a husband."

"I really like to thank Elder Brother Xiao."

Xiao Ziyi was a little helpless, he could not tell if he was happy or not, but Xiao Ziyi had already continued to speak, "Wei Yuan, if you don't want to stay by my side after getting married, I can give you some money, and you can bring Xue Yuan wherever you want to go."

"Master, Wei Yuan will always be your subordinate. I will still stay in the capital. I will be wherever you go, Master."

"Where's Big Brother A Yuan? And where's the snowy plain?"

Xiao Ziyi laughed, and the emotions in his eyes could not be seen clearly, but Wei Yuan knew that Xiao Ziyi was definitely missing Bai Yixuan again.

On the morning of the second day, Bai Yixuan stared at two dark circles under his eyes and saw Bai Yihui who similarly wore two dark circles under his eyes.

Bai Yihui did not sleep well the whole night. Maybe it was because he had just had a child, so when he thought about the possibility of the two children being killed, he could not fall asleep.

Shen Run worriedly looked at Bai Yixuan and Bai Yihui in the morning, "Erigeron, Xuan Er is so tired, why don't we let him rest today?"

Bai Yihui had to admit that Bai Yixuan's brain was better than her. If not for Bai Yixuan, she would not even have a clue.

Bai Yixuan knew that it would be difficult for His elder brother so she took the initiative to say it, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'm really fine at all.

Shen Run sighed.

Bai Yihui and Bai Yixuan went to the County Yamen first, but this time Bai Yixuan brought along an official, "Big brother, let's go to Li Dahe first and ask where the Wang Family that died at that time was buried."

"Are we really not going to ask Qiu Yongnian?"

"The current situation is that regardless of what happened all those years ago, Qiu Yongnian must have participated in many of those situations, so there's basically no need to ask. We might as well not ask and see if this Qiu Yongnian will mess up his own formation."

"Confusion?" Bai Yihui looked at Bai Yixuan, and Bai Yixuan continued, "Big brother might as well send a few officials to follow Qiu Yongnian quietly, to see what tricks this Qiu Yongnian has up his sleeve."

After Bai Yihui had finished instructing them, he brought his men to Li Dahe's house.

Li Dahe was still the same when he saw Bai Yixuan and the others arriving, but Bai Yixuan could feel that the previously very calm Li Dahe had become a lot more flustered this time. Bai Yixuan and Bai Yihui still had the same attitude as before.

Bai Yixuan first paid her respects to Li Dahe who was on fire yesterday, then asked him about Wang Xin's matters back then in a slow and leisurely manner. Li Dahe pretended to not remember anything at the time, and after Bai Yixuan's side attacks, Li Dahe finally stopped pretending.

"They probably buried it right next to their house. Their house was originally quite remote."

After Bai Yixuan memorized the place and left, she did not say anything else to Bai Yihui, causing Li Dahe to feel even more uneasy.

However, all of this was naturally done by Bai Yixuan on purpose.

It was only in the afternoon that Bai Yixuan and Bai Yihui finally found the house that the Wang Family lived in back then.

One glance was enough to tell that she had been burned in the past. Although the smell of the fire was not as strong as before, Bai Yixuan still felt that she could smell the miserable smell of the fire back then.

"No matter who did this, it is indeed cruel." Bai Yixuan looked around, and only saw a few houses. Bai Yixuan said, "Big brother, let's go ask the people around first if they know anything."

Bai Yihui nodded his head and knocked on the door of the closest house to the house that had been burned down. Only after a long time did a wife open the door from inside and looked at Bai Yixuan and Bai Yihui with vigilance.

As a member of the Gong family, it was naturally not convenient for Bai Yihui to give money as soon as he made a move, but Bai Yixuan was different. She first placed a silver ingot into his wife's hands, and then said, "Aunt, we are from the government, we want to come in and ask about some things related to the Wang Xin family.

As expected, after seeing the silver, the woman's expression improved a lot. She turned around and welcomed Bai Yixuan and the rest in.

"Miss, do you want to ask about the Wang Clan?"

"Yes, the case we are investigating has something to do with the events of the past, so we came to ask if you've been living here all this time, aunt?"

The old granny nodded, "I was right to ask about this. I saw the big fire back then with my own eyes. It was really big. Now that I think about it, it is still very scary."

"Then auntie, do you know how this fire was ignited?"

"I really don't know. In any case, it just burned up all of a sudden, and the whole family was trapped in a huge fire and not coming out. That Wang Xin's wife is pregnant, and there are still two little girls at home, as well as his sister-in-law.

"A family of six?" Bai Yixuan grabbed onto the key point, "You just said, this Wang Xin's sister-in-law, right? Then what about Wang Xin's brother, is he not home?"

"It seems to be, only his sister-in-law came. I don't know the specifics."

"Then has this little brother appeared since then?"

"No, this little brother of his was also an ungrateful bastard. In the end, this brother of Wang Xin's came to collect the Wang Family's corpse."

"Aunt, do you remember how many people came to collect the corpses?"

"I remember it was four people. I can't remember what happened back then either." That old woman seemed to be a bit reluctant, but she really couldn't think of anything else.

"Oh yeah, Aunt, do you know if there is anything special about Wang Xin, it is his appearance?"

"This... I can't really remember if that Wang Xin had a left or right hand deformity, it's just that one of his hands is a little different from the others'. I can clearly remember, because there were still people who called Wang Xin a monster during this incident, so I can always remember. "

Bai Yixuan nodded her head and thanked the old granny once again. She knew that she would not be able to get anything out of her anymore, so she decided not to continue asking. The old granny showed Bai Yixuan the way out, and Bai Yixuan and Bai Yihui smoothly stood in front of Wang Xin's family's grave.

The tomb was extremely simple and crude, but Bai Yixuan was the first to notice that something was amiss, it was because the tomb seemed to be too clean, which meant that people would frequently come back.
