Chapter 576: The Death of the Speech Officer
As soon as the carriage stopped at the back door of Sun's mansion, Rong Xi jumped down from the carriage, so frightened that Leng Yixiu hurriedly hugged her, and said in a low voice: "What's the hurry, be careful!" ”
Rong Xi's eyes showed eagerness, she nodded, pulled Leng Yixiu to jump over the courtyard wall, and quickly arrived at the backyard where she was talking to Sun Chengqiang, the two of them stood on a high place and looked down, the courtyard was no longer quiet, each house was lit up, a lot of maids and women walked around in the yard, there were many rooms with open windows, and people kept sticking their heads out to look outside.
Three of the rooms were the most lively, shouts, shouts, and sharp cries for help were mixed together, rampage through the human eardrums, one by one, cutting through the tranquility of the night, like a cold knife light, cutting into pieces.
Leng Yixiu's eyes were deep, her face was calm, Rong Xi had already regained her calm after the initial eagerness, she calmly looked at the chaotic courtyard below, and said in a low voice: "It seems that this Sun Chengqiang has already done it, this guy is a ruthless character." ”
Leng Yixiu nodded, he agreed with Rong Xi's words, this Sun Chengqiang, who is deeply hidden, is ruthless, but he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart now, and if he can't confirm it, he can't take this risk lightly.
The screams below are still undulating, "Let go of me!" I want to see the master! I want to see the master! ”
"Madam, don't make any more trouble, this is the master's order."
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! What is Akifu-in Temple? Good manner, how could the lord let me live there? ”
"It's not just you, but there are two other ladies, go quickly, don't embarrass the slaves!"
"I'm not going!"
The sound of the same content kept coming from the other two rooms, each of which was brightly lit, and the other rooms without sound were just calmly watching the excitement.
After watching for a long time and not finding Sun Chengqiang's shadow, Rong Xi pulled Leng Yixiu and said, "Let's go, go to the front and have a look." ”
"Okay." Leng Yixiu held her hand, and the figures of the two people slided, like two flying swallows, and quickly moved forward.
Shun found Sun Chengqiang's study, from the outside, the candle flame in the study was a little dim, jumping slightly, like a flint flying firefly in place.
Rong Xi looked at the candle flame, his heart suddenly sank, and he whispered to Leng Yixiu: "I have a bad premonition. ”
Leng Yixiu didn't speak, just walked in front of her, and in a protective posture, the two of them slowly walked up the steps, their steps were gentle, and the surroundings were silent.
The door in the study was ajar, and a line of light was projected through the gap, stretching the shadows of the two people slender, Leng Yixiu slowly stretched out his hand, gently pushed the door open wider, and turned his head to Rong Xi and made a mouth shape, "Be careful." ”
As soon as he stepped into the house, Rong Xi knew that it was still too late.
There was a smell of blood wafting under the tip of her nose, and she looked up to see Sun Chengqiang kneeling on the desk, his eyes wide, a large ball of blood coming out of his neck, his expression was angry, and it was obvious that someone was sitting on the chair behind the desk at that time.
"It seems that when we talked to him in the backyard, someone was waiting for the rabbit here," Rong Xi looked at the chair and said, "Then Sun Chengqiang returned to the study and was killed." ”
Leng Yixiu looked at the wound on Sun Chengqiang's neck, "One knife kills, good knife technique, it seems that the other party is prepared, and he will kill people tonight." ”
"Who can kill people?" After Rong Xi asked, he actually had the answer in his heart, Leng Yixiu was speechless for a long time, and the dim candlelight reflected his side face, like a painting hidden in the dim light, which made people feel stunned.
In the early morning of the next day, Leng Yixiu went to the morning court as usual, and the emperor's expression was much better than yesterday, but I don't know if he was suppressing his anger or for him, Lan Shuyu's death was really good news.
Tomorrow is Dabi, and Leng Yixiu is in charge of Dabi, if it is really found out that Lan Shuyu is not dead, then it will be a dilemma, what should I do with the Ning Palace?
Therefore, Leng Yixiu's guess was not wrong, when the emperor learned from Jiang Ming that Lan Shuyu's coffin indeed contained her corpse, he actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Today, above the court, he saw Liang Jingyao's recital, word by word, writing the story of the matter very clearly and in detail, it seems that Sun Chengqiang is indeed wrong.
The emperor's gaze was heavy, ready for Sun Chengqiang to give an explanation, and he was about to speak, when the governor of Shuntian Mansion stepped forward and knelt down in the center and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, minister...... Guilty. ”
The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "Huh? What's the matter? Let's take it personally. ”
Shuntianfu Yin was also in the camphor forest yesterday, of course he also knew that Sun Chengqiang was playing about yesterday's autopsy early this morning, and he originally wanted to watch the excitement, but he didn't think about it, he was shocked last night.
He was sleeping soundly at night, when suddenly someone beat a drum, waking him up from his dream, and the anger in his heart did not come to one place, and the official outside reported through the door panel at the door: "My lord, someone is beating a drum outside, you can get up and take a look." ”
"Ben-sama hears it!" Shuntian Mansion Yin said angrily: "What's the matter? As for the rush to become like this? Do you have to beat the drum at this time? ”
He covered his mouth and let out a long yawn, "Tell him, let's talk about it when it's dawn!" ”
After that, he was about to get back into the bed, but the official outside said: "My lord, no, it's really urgent." ”
"What the hell is going on?" The anger in Shuntianfu Yin's heart rose.
"Just check it out." The official lowered his head and said.
Shuntianfu Yin also felt that something was wrong, it was not normal to come to report the case so late and beat the drums, and now the official is standing here and refusing to leave, maybe there is really something big.
He didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly put on his clothes, so tossed, the concubine next to him also woke up, rubbed his eyes and saw him dressed, and pouted: "Master, what are you going to do so late?" ”
"Someone is drumming, sir, I have to go and see." Shuntianfu Yin said softly while getting dressed.
"The slave family doesn't believe it, who else will come to beat the drum at such a late hour? It must be that you want to go to her side again, and you deliberately came up with a way to deceive the slave family. The concubine pouted and said dissatisfied.
"Ouch, my good man," Shuntianfu Yin coaxed while fastening the buttons, "With you here, where else can I think about going?" Do you have the scent of a seductive lord on you? I can't run if I want to, don't make trouble, maybe something is wrong, I have to go and see, and I'll come back to you when I'm done. ”
After that, she grabbed her hat and walked quickly, and the concubine turned over and continued to sleep facing in.
As soon as he went out, the official said in a low voice: "My lord, it's someone from the Sun Mansion." ”
"Sun Mansion?" Shuntian Mansion Yin was puzzled while buttoning his hat, and he didn't react for a while, "What Sun Mansion?" Which Sun Mansion? ”
"It's the Sun Yanguan who was in the camphor forest this afternoon." The official reminded.
"Him?" Shuntian Mansion Yin's heart jumped, "The people in his mansion? What kind of case to report? ”
The person who came to report the case said, Sun Yanguan ...... He's dead. ”
The emperor sat on it, and when he heard the words of Shuntian Mansion Yin, his heart jumped inexplicably, "Dead?" ”
Shuntianfu Yin didn't dare to raise his head, he knew the importance of this Sun Chengqiang, the emperor was afraid that he would have something to ask him at this time, but he died.
"Back to the emperor, yes...... is dead, Wechen has already gone to check it out in person. Shuntianfu Yin had two blue and black colors under his eyes, he didn't tell a lie, as soon as he heard the words of the person who reported the crime last night, he immediately left to check the scene, and he was busy until the morning court.
"Can you find someone to test it?" The emperor's fingers tapped on the armrest of the dragon chair again and again, and he always felt that something was not quite right.
"Back to the emperor, I've seen it, Weichen went with him from the yamen," Shuntianfu Yin hurriedly said: "The servant has learned that Lord Sun died of a knife wound, a knife wound in the throat, and a stroke killed." ”
As soon as Shuntian Mansion Yin's words came out, there was a low voice of discussion in the court, Leng Yixiu turned slightly sideways, and looked at Shuntian Mansion Yin, his eyes were clear but he was also puzzled.
The emperor seemed to inadvertently turn his head slightly, his eyes swept over Leng Yixiu's body, for some reason, the wisp of doubt in this son's eyes made his heart feel at ease, in fact, it's right to think about it, the matter is over, and the wrongs of Ning Wangfu have also been washed away, wouldn't it be superfluous to kill people again? Or rather, more stupid than that. This is obviously not what King Ning did.
Leng Yixiu had already noticed the emperor's glance, and he sneered slightly in his heart, as soon as Sun Chengqiang died, the emperor would be the first to suspect himself, which he had long expected.
Over the years, the game between father and son has never stopped, like a quiet cool breeze, and by the time you notice it, it is too late, deep into the bone marrow, or illness or injury, you will not be spared. Therefore, from the very beginning, he wore enough windproof clothing, and let him blow it, but he could not do any harm.
The emperor had already turned his eyes and said to Shuntian Mansion Yin: "This is obviously killed by someone, how can such a thing be allowed at the feet of the Son of Heaven in my Zhao Kyoto?" Quickly find out about the case and find the murderer! ”
"Yes." Shuntian Mansion Yin hurriedly said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
"In addition," the emperor muttered, "tomorrow is the day of the great reopening, remember, when investigating the case, do not move too much, do not be cautious everywhere, do not make the city full of storms." ”
"Yes." Shuntianfu Yin immediately understood what the emperor meant, thinking about it, since Dabi, too many things have happened, so that people from other countries have seen enough of the excitement, if there is another case of Yanguan being killed, when people return to China, they may not know how to laugh.
However, this case ...... Not only to check, but also to have so many scruples, this is not a simple errand......
