Luo Gong looked back at Yu Shi and said: "Although Her Royal Highness the princess is the only princess of the emperor and the queen, she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, but the queen mother was born in the door and has always been in charge of the entire harem with an iron hand.

Yu Shi heard it, Luo Gong was saying that Zhu Rong had also learned the queen's resolute iron fist.

Zhong Xiaoli also said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is indeed as the commander said, the second young master has been obsessed with the private business in Chu Jingli since he married Her Royal Highness the princess, and there is little contact between the royal family and nobles and the powerful, and Her Royal Highness the princess personally manages the entire princess mansion. ”

Luo Gong and Zhong Xiaoli's words made Yushi's impression of Zhu Rong change dramatically.

When I first saw Zhu Rong walking into the hall in the main hall of the front yard, she was graceful and elegant, even if she was dressed plainly and did not have any jewels on her temples, it was still difficult to hide her innate nobility.

At that time, Zhu Rong was in the eyes of Yushi, probably a person who was born with the whole country and celebrated with her in her previous life, although she was not martyred at a young age like her, but she also had a tragic fate, and she died at such a young age and was widowed.

Yu Shi thought that although Zhu Rong could remarry without Zhong Qingchi, and probably wouldn't marry badly, she estimated that Zhu Rong would have to be depressed for a while, but at this moment, she heard Luo Gong and Zhong Xiaoli say that Zhu Rong had received a strong education from the queen since she was a child, which made her think that Zhu Rong might not marry again.

As for why, the reason is actually very simple.

In the state of Chu, if a usually weak woman dies her husband, she must find another person to rely on to live the second half of her life, and ninety percent of ten widows are remarried, whether the object of remarriage is always ugly or crippled or extremely useless, they always think that having a man to rely on is the most appropriate and safe destination.

Yu Shi didn't wander for too long, so he and Luo Gong began to patrol Zhong Qingchi's study, while Zhong Xiaoli waited aside, and the two of them had questions during the tour.

There is nothing special in the study, but it is very elegantly arranged, full of bookish atmosphere, unlike the copper coin grass in the small yard that makes people think about it.

The study is divided into two parts, one part is the place where Chen Qingchi settled accounts before his death, and the other part is a small cubicle where Chen Qingchi can rest when he is tired, and there is only an eight-screen screen between the two parts.

Luo Gong focused on searching Zhong Qingchi's bookcase before his death and the two rows of bookshelves behind and on the right side of the bookcase, while Yu Shi went through the screen to the cubicle opposite the bookcase and carefully examined it.

When he crossed the screen, Yu Shi looked at the pattern of fortune and treasure embroidered on the screen, and said in his heart that Chen Qingchi really loves money, so I don't know if he has a way to get money, or he is crazy about making crooked money.

In the small cubicle is Chen Qingchi's temporary resting place, in addition to a bed, it is a table and two stools, and a blue and white porcelain vase of high value is placed on the high table next to the window sill, and the water in the bottle raises two lotus flowers, which is described as a little withered, and it should be that the water has been raised in the bottle for some time.

Zhong Xiaoli followed Yu Shi into the cubicle, stood in front of the screen, and saw Yu Shi's eyes fall on the lotus flower in the blue and white porcelain vase, he explained:

"This lotus hasn't been changed for two days, and the second young master said that the small ones don't have to be changed every day, but before the small ones are replaced with fresh ones, the young master ...... them."

Zhong Xiaoli's voice was already choked up when he said the last, and he couldn't go on, but his eyes moved to the ground only a few steps away from the windowsill with Yu Shi's movements, where there was a large stall of Zhong Qingchi's blood after being stabbed with a sword.

Seeing that Yu Shi had already squatted down to take a closer look, Zhong Xiaoli stretched out his cuffs and wiped the tears on his face twice, and Li Zhen said calmly:

"When the second young master was found by the little one, he was lying here motionless......"

Yu Shi raised his eyes to look at Zhong Xiaoli and said, "Xiao Li, do you remember how Master Fu Ma lay on the ground when he died?" ”

Zhong Xiaoli nodded and said, "Of course I remember!" ”

Yu Shi pointed to the place where Zhong Qingchi died: "Okay, you lie down next to the bloodstains in the same posture as when the attached horse master died, be careful not to touch the bloodstains that have not yet dried up." ”

Although Zhong Xiaoli didn't quite understand what Yu Shi wanted to do, he didn't ask much, and after answering, he recalled Zhong Qingchi's posture when he died, and carefully avoided the blood stains and lay down on the ground a few steps away from the windowsill.

Zhong Xiaoli's head was on the side of the bed, table and chair, and his feet were facing the windowsill, because of the bloodstains, he was lying on the ground on the side of the windowsill, so the situation at that time should be that Zhong Qingchi was facing the windowsill and received an assassin's sword, which also shows that Zhong Qingchi was standing in front of the windowsill at that time.

So did Zhong Qingchi inadvertently stand in front of the windowsill at that time, or did someone deliberately guide him?

Yu Shi motioned for Zhong Xiaoli to get up and asked, "Xiao Li, have you always been the only one waiting for the horse master in this Yiqiu Courtyard?" ”

Zhong Xiaoli got up from the ground, and before he could clean the dust on the back of the cyan robe due to lying down, he quickly replied:

"Yes!"

Yu Shi asked again: "So did you see or hear any unusual movements by this windowsill or in the small courtyard outside last night?" ”

Zhong Xiaoli thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No...... The second young master has been sitting in front of the bookcase and reading the account book, except for the small one who has been waiting, and he also sent a cup of tonic soup in the kitchen during the period, and soon after the second young master drank the tonic soup, he said that he was a little tired and wanted to take a nap in the cubicle......"

At that time, Zhong Xiaoli also persuaded Chen Qingchi and said, otherwise, just go back to the Lingqiu compound to rest.

But Chen Qingchi said no, he still had a lot of account books that he hadn't read, and he couldn't delay it any longer, and he specially instructed Zhong Xiaoli to call him to get up in a quarter of an hour.

Zhong Xiaoli didn't dare to disobey, so he had to wait for Chen Qingchi to rest on the bed in the cubicle, and then went to guard outside the screen, waiting for two quarters of an hour to pass before calling Zhong Qingchi.

Yu Shi said: "So, you have been guarding outside the screen during this period?" ”

Zhong Xiaoli said: "Yes...... No! ”

Yu Shi frowned: "Is it or not?" ”

Zhong Xiaoli was shocked by Yu Shi's obviously slightly unhappy look, and waved his hand again and again in a panic:

"Don't be angry! Let's listen to the little explanations! ”

Just two quarters of an hour when Zhong Qingchi was resting, Zhong Xiaoli had been sitting at the table under the bookcase for a quarter of an hour, and when he was bored, he picked up the feather duster in the study and swept the dust on the bookshelf.

In fact, there is a special maid to sprinkle and sweep the study every day, and there is no dust at all, Zhong Xiaoli swept it twice at will, and then glanced at the bookcase Zhong Qingchi drank the remaining half cup of tonic soup, he didn't think much about it, and drank it with one hand.

Then Zhong Xiaoli swept the bookshelf a few more times, and after yawning a few times, he put down the feather duster, walked back to the table and sat down.

When he woke up and looked at the hour, two quarters of an hour before Chen Qingchi's instructions, Zhong Xiaoli couldn't help but jump up in a panic and ran to the cubicle, but he didn't expect that what he saw was a corpse!

Zhong Qingchi was already out of breath.
