Chapter 174: Caught
Chen Ziduo hung his head in frustration.
"This is all the king's words, listen to it or not." Xuanyuan Hao stopped looking at him and left the room with his hands in his hands.
Steward Zhang and Ding Yi also walked out. Before leaving, Steward Zhang patted Chen Ziduo on the shoulder, "Young man, think about it." ”
The door of the house closed with a "bang", and Chen Ziduo looked at the tables, chairs and beds in the room dejectedly, with a jumping candle flame flickering in his eyes.
"Zhang Yan, Ding Yi, the next thing is very important. Don't let it be half a pip. Xuanyuan Hao said with his back to the two.
"My subordinates will never give up!"
Xuanyuan Hao looked up, and the moonlight was lying quietly in the night sky. However, the hearts of the people hidden under this silence have begun to be restless.
After Xuanyuan Hao left, Ding Yi created the shoulder of the manager, "What do you say the prince thinks?" Bringing this Chen Juzi back, didn't you just want to help him? Why didn't the prince mention to Chen Juzi to help him just now? ”
Steward Zhang glanced at Ding Yi and teased, "You usually let you move your brain, you don't want to, you practice swords and swords there every day, and now you can't even understand what the prince said, do you dare to let you do things in the future?" ”
After hearing this, Ding Yi kept pulling the sword out of its scabbard and putting it back. The sound of the rubbing between the sword and the scabbard made Steward Zhang feel a little creepy to hear.
Looking at Ding Yi's cold and lonely breath all over his body, Steward Zhang hurriedly changed his words, "It's okay, it's okay, I don't understand what's the big deal." Isn't there still a brother to me? I'll explain it to you later. ”
Only then did Ding Yi take away the cold silence on his body, "So the prince really said it?" ”
"Of course, didn't the prince ask the scholar to find Qian Tu?"
Money Chart? Ding Yi suddenly realized. The prince said that Qian Tu is Jing Zhaoyin, who was sealed by the emperor, and he has a firm heart. Naturally, he will not be coerced by the third prince to become the king, and he will not help Liu Qiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Labor, to cover up his son's ugly affairs!
Ding Yi nodded and said, "I understand!" ”
……
It was late at night, and the people had already turned off the lights and gone to sleep. With Ou Shiqiu's running wild in the night, the lanterns hung high on the streets of Hongfang.
Back at Oufu, Ou Shiqiu handed over the horses to the servant and took them to the stable. He asked the doorman who was watching the door today, "Has my father and mother come back?" ”
"Back to the young owner, the owner and his wife sent someone to send a letter back. said that he stayed in Qingluo Town today. I'll be back early tomorrow morning. ”
Ou Shiqiu untied his cloak and paused, "Got it, then close the door." ”
"Yes, young owner."
Then Ou Shiqiu went to the east wing guest room, and he stood at the door of Xiao Dong's room and knocked on the door. "Xiao Dong open the door, I know you haven't slept yet."
After a while, the door opened. The one who opened the door was the maid Juying who was sleeping in the outer room, "Young owner, girl, she has already rested." ”
"Already rested?"
"Hmm. The girl rested. Ju Ying replied with her head down.
"Okay." Ou Shiqiu said, "Then I'll come to see her tomorrow." With that, Oscho turned and left.
Ju Ying watched Ou Shiqiu walk farther and farther, and her figure gradually disappeared outside the east wing. Only then did she close the door and let out a long sigh of relief, she kept twisting her handkerchief with both hands, and muttered, "What can I do about this, why hasn't the girl come back yet?" ”
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and Ju Ying turned around happily. "Girl, you're back... Less, less owner, you, why are you back, back? ”
Ou Shiqiu said coldly, "Juying, where did Xiaodong go?" ”
"Maid, girl, she..."Ju Ying suddenly knelt down, "begging the young owner for forgiveness, the girl said that she just went to her yard to get some things, and she will come back in a while..."
Without waiting for Ju Ying to finish speaking, Ou Shiqiu was no longer in the east wing room.
At the small pond, Ou Shiqiu asked the two people guarding the pond. "Did you think Xiaodong went in?"
"Miss!?" Liang Re shook his head, "No." ”
"Oops!" Ou Shiqiu cursed in a low voice, and a dodge arrived at the reception room.
But there was not even a single figure in the reception room. There was a white note on the table in the middle of the room. Ou Shiqiu walked over and picked up the note, "If you want to save Ou Honeysuckle." Exchange the sword formation of your Jade Spirit Villa! ”
"Damn it!" Ou Shiqiu slapped his palm on the table, and the table cracked in response.
The two people guarding the pond hurried over, "Young owner? ”
"Tidy up the house."
… In the early morning of the next day, before Xuanyuan Hao went to the court, Chen Ziduo was guarding the gate of Zhuxin Courtyard, and he was followed by Da Sheng.
"Got it?" Xuanyuan Hao asked.
"Thank you, benefactor." Chen Ziduo kowtowed three times to Xuanyuan Hao. "If Ziduo can avenge Alain, he is willing to be a cow and a horse for his benefactor!"
"You don't need to be a cow or a horse. If you can become an official in the future, don't forget your original intention. Do more for the benefit of the people. Xuanyuan Hao said, raised his feet and left.
Chu Yueqing stood at the door of the main house, and saw that the kneeling figure at the courtyard gate was a little familiar. "Isn't this the scholar at the lantern stall that day? How is he in the palace? ”
After Xuanyuan Hao left, Chen Ziduo also got up and went to Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
Qian Tu has actually been waiting for Chen Ziduo in the house, after accepting the case. The case is moving at a rapid pace. On March 14, Qian Tu ordered someone to go to Liu's mansion to invite Liu He.
Liu He refused to admit his guilt, and Qian Tu temporarily imprisoned him in prison.
"Qian Tu, my father is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. You put me in prison without evidence, you don't want to live! Liu He shouted.
Qian Tu sneered and ignored him. I thought to myself, the one who can't live doesn't know who it is?
This Chen Ziduo sued Liu He for forcing a woman from a good family to be a concubine, and the woman committed suicide by throwing herself into the river if she didn't want to! But in his opinion, I'm afraid that's not the case, it's hard to say whether this woman committed suicide...
"What you said is true?" Steward Zhang looked at Qian Tu in disbelief, "That woman didn't kill herself, it was Liu He who pushed her down the river!?"
"That's right, Mr. Zhang. There's no need for me to lie to you. Qian Tu sat in the Qinwu Courtyard and drank tea gracefully, "Liu He is locked up in prison, and Liu Qiu came to find this official in the afternoon. He was kind from beginning to end, and I think Liu Qiu probably knew what his son had done. ”
"That's great!" Steward Zhang smiled like a fox, "We originally wanted to use Liu He's line to find clues about Liu Qiu's greed for money and disregard for human life over the years. Now it seems that things are going much more smoothly than expected! ”
That night, Qian Tu obtained Chen Ziduo's consent and ordered him to open the coffin for an autopsy.
Alain's body had begun to decompose, and when the coffin was opened, a putrid stench wafted out. Xiao Zhao didn't dare to approach, so he hid behind Qian Tu, "My lord, let's, let's go back." What kind of coffin are you opening in the middle of the night? ”
Qian Tuhe looked calm, "It's just that the coffin will be opened at night, otherwise there will be no atmosphere." ”
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day! (To be continued.) )
