Chapter 19: Death of a Witness
Yan Xun, who was no longer harassed by everyone, said that she was finally able to solve the problem of the case with peace of mind, and finally a few days ago, the little maid in the princess's mansion said that she seemed to remember that there was an extremely strange place in that figure, and she was going to the princess's mansion today to inquire carefully.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of the gate, he finally disappeared the figure wandering around, and exhaled heavily, it was really a sky with eyes, and the Bodhisattva blessed, so he didn't think much about it and went straight to the princess's mansion.
Yan Xun felt strange, why the closer she got to the little guy's residence today, the more uneasy she felt, it seemed to be a little heavier than before, but it was just her instinct, because the little guy died.
And the death was extremely horrific, he was cut by a thin wire and his head was separated and died. When the people of the Discipline Inspection Department found out that something was wrong, the corpse was "sitting" in front of the tea table, and the corpse was already cold.
The man looked dead, as if he had seen something extremely shocking. Rong Qingxiao had already let the idlers and others avoid it at the first time, leaving only the Discipline Inspection Department and others, and when Yan Xun felt it, he saw such a scene.
Rong Qingxiao glanced at her and said lightly: "We are one step late, and the clue is broken." ”
Yan Xun stabilized his mind, stepped forward to inspect the scene, and found that there were no traces of the doors and windows being opened, and there were no footprints on the ground. She had already asked Ziling to send a message to the secret channel and asked Jiangnan's friends to do a small favor, but she never expected that the only witness was murdered, and they were careless.
She closed the little girl's eyes, glanced at his left hand on the table, and said secretly in her heart: "Don't worry, we will do our best to bring the murderer to justice in order to comfort your souls in heaven."
Rong Qingxiao watched her do all this lightly throughout the whole process, and suddenly opened her mouth: "Father attaches great importance to this case this time, after all, the big wedding in Pingyang is coming, and there must be no mistakes." When my father heard that you had the name of the first work in Jiangnan, he handed over the case to you and me to be fully responsible, and we must ensure that the marriage in Pingyang is held smoothly. Seeing that the other party nodded slowly and said, "Even if the emperor doesn't say it, I will take good care of Xiao Yi." ”
In fact, he didn't say the second half of the sentence, what his father meant was that if the murderer had no ill will towards Pingyang, then the case would be stopped, and the yamen in Beijing would be responsible, and there would be no need for the Discipline Inspection Department to handle it. But seeing her meticulous and serious appearance, he swallowed back the words blurted out by him for some reason, and suddenly didn't want her to know the ruthlessness and coldness of the royal family.
Yan Xun frowned again and said, "I've already inquired, and I estimate that I will get the news in a few days." Her eyes suddenly became fierce, "You can know that the people on the rivers and lakes who are so strong in martial arts that they can control the ice needles at will can still kill people without breaking into the house...... What is the reason for the murderer to kill two people in a row, and what does he (she) want to cover up......"
Rong Qingxiao's eyes, which had always been as calm as autumn water, also became cold, and he also waited for the murderer to give an answer.
Since that day, Rong Qingxiao and Yan Xun have reported to the princess's mansion every day, and the palace has also sent additional personnel to protect the personal safety of Pingyang. Finally, one day Pingyang couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Ah Xun, third brother, you are going to suffocate me before I get married! I will get married in a few days, but I have no chance to be chic, I have just moved in this princess mansion, and I have been surrounded by you like that prison, I am the first-class felony in that prison, and I am stared at by you every day, for fear that I will escape without knowing when!"
Princess Rong was angry, and Yan Xun was also very helpless, although she knew that Pingyang was probably nervous because of marriage, and such a thing happened, and she was guarded by everyone, and she felt that it was inevitable that she would be so stuffy. But they couldn't joke about her safety, so she had to be silent, learning from Rong Qingxiao's appearance, and didn't hear what she did.
Rong Yiyan saw the appearance of the two of them, and they were not angry, they stared at each other like this for the past few days, looking at each other, they are not crazy, she is going crazy, no, she has to go out, she and Mu Zijun have not seen each other for ten days!
"This princess doesn't care, I must go out of the palace today, and the palace wants to see the horse!!"
Yan Xun and Rong Qingxiao glanced at each other speechlessly, this kid has said "Bengong", this is going to be serious. There's no way, except to send more people to protect her, who would dare to be that villain to beat the mandarin ducks?
As a result, there was such a spectacle in Beijing: two rows of people escorted a gorgeous sedan chair in the middle, and the sedan chair was protected so tightly that even flies could not get close to one, and they swayed towards Mufu.
As soon as the sedan chair stopped, Rong Yiyan got out of the sedan chair and ran into the Mu Mansion quickly. Yan Xun's sentence "Xiao Yi, slow down!" was strangled in her throat, she retracted her outstretched right hand in embarrassment, coughed lightly, and sighed: "Tsk, sure enough, the woman is not staying, staying here and staying to become an enemy." Rong Qingxiao, who was on the side, glanced at her deeply, and then raised his feet and entered the Mu Mansion.
Yan Xun saw that everyone was looking at their noses, and the appearance of their noses and mouths became more and more embarrassing, and she seemed to have forgotten that she was going to get married in another year......
Mu Mansion.
"Zijun, you don't know, I miss you, but neither of them let me step out of the princess's mansion, it's so hateful!" Rong Yiyan pulled Mu Zijun's sleeve and sprinkled coquettishly, but her tone was sweet.
The two men mentioned remained dutifully on either side, looking up at the sky as if they hadn't heard......
"Honestly, do you miss me?"
"Well, I thought to myself. I haven't seen her for a few days, and my princess has lost weight. Mu Zijun smiled faintly, his good-looking eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, warm and kind.
"It's pretty much the same, and you said that I, you've lost weight too......" Rong Yiyan held her sweetheart's face in distress, ignoring the presence of others.
And the two sad big light bulbs stared down at their toes, shook the goosebumps on their bodies, and secretly slandered themselves: Showing affection in public or something, the most hateful...... The other turned his head a little uncomfortably, and there was a faint flush on his fair face, well, the weather is a little hotter today......
"By the way, how is my aunt's condition? Is it better?" Rong Yiyan looked at Mu Zijun worriedly after telling her heartfelt feelings, Mu's mother has always been not in good health, and Mu's father was transferred to the capital some time ago, which aggravated his condition, and he used decoction to recuperate his body during this period of time.
"It's no big deal, the doctor said that he was a little overly worried, and his physical foundation was not very good, so he was naturally weaker. Mu Zijun stroked her smooth hair and said soothingly.
"Well, shall I go and see my aunt?" she looked at him expectantly.
Mu Zijun looked a little embarrassed, so he had to tell the truth: "Mother just took the medicine and didn't sleep for a long time, and she hasn't slept very well in the past few days, so ......"
"Okay, okay, then I won't bother my aunt, it's not too early, I have to go back......" Rong Yiyan said goodbye reluctantly, pulling his sleeve, as if he was reluctant to let go. The man still smiled softly, and watched her leave with doting care, leaving him alone in the empty room......
