Shen Shu nodded slightly, and said, "I connected what she said and guessed something. However, it still needs to be further inferred with the adults and Yang Zhutou, so why don't you go back to the yamen first? ”
Governor Zhang listened to her as if she had something inconvenient to say in front of everyone. Unexpectedly, he waved his hand and said, "Then hurry back to the yamen." If what she said doesn't solve the dilemma of the case, then she has to think of another way.
After hearing the order, the officials hurriedly lined up neatly, opened the way in front, and the group went in the direction of the outside of the temple.
Before leaving, Shen Shu and Yu'er said softly: "You take me past the host, and I will say a few words to him." ”
Yu'er responded, and when she passed by the host, Shen Shu only said in a low voice: "Don't worry about yourself, the host, that maid is crazy, and inadvertently entered the forbidden land of your temple, crazy people, it is inevitable that they will act differently, so it can't be completely said that it is the fault of the host's negligence." ”
When the host heard her words, he was helping him speak, and he also informed him of the situation at that time, so that he could explain. He only felt that this woman seemed to know what he was worried about, so he spoke up to help. He folded his hands and sighed, "Amitabha, thank you for your kindness." It's just that the old man can't argue with the responsibility of this negligence. I should have thought about it in retreat and asked the Buddha for forgiveness. ”
After that, he looked at Shen Shu and said, "The donor's face is not very good, it seems that he is weak and short of breath, and he has to take care of it." ”
"Got it, thank you for the reminder." After Shen Shu saluted, he left with Yu'er.
The group hurried back to the yamen.
Still in that flower hall, Shen Shu told Governor Zhang what she knew. The more Governor Zhang listened, the more surprised he became, this was too bizarre, that Liu's daughter was not missing, but eloped with others! And that maid is not a maid, but another unknown daughter of Liu Envoy!
If this is true, then Liu Envoy's side is both easy to explain and difficult to explain.
It is easy to explain that since it is not a disappearance, but an elopement, then this is in the category of family affairs, and it is not so convenient for the yamen to continue to come forward. And it's hard to explain, but there is no definite evidence that this is elopement, just a few words from the crazy girl, how to prove it?
Moreover, the mad maid is the daughter of the envoy, do you say it, or don't you say it? If he said it, he was afraid that Liu Yuansi would not be able to get over his face, but if he didn't say it, he was afraid that something would go wrong.
After thinking about it, Governor Zhang finally made up his mind.
"Yang catches the head." Governor Zhang said: "You go to check the surrounding canyons, especially those places where there are rumors of robbers, you must investigate carefully." ”
"Yes." Yang Zhutou gave the order.
"Miss Shen, you go back to rest, if there is further need, I may invite you over again." Zhang Zhifu said. His tone became much more polite. What Shen Shu said about the facts of the case was extremely unexpected, and the circumstances before and after were extremely consistent with what they knew, and it was quite possible that they were true. If the case is really solved, then Shen Shu's credit is indispensable. Therefore, in his heart, he had a high opinion of Shen Shu.
Shen Shu nodded: "It's okay, Governor Zhang will send someone to Wuli Lane to find me if he has something." ”
"Prepare a sedan chair." Yang Zhutou raised his head and said.
After Shen Shu saluted, she walked lightly and left with Yu'er.
Yang Zhutou then left the flower hall.
Governor Zhang sat in the flower hall, and for a moment, he suddenly shouted: "Someone is coming." ”
"What do you order?" A servant rushed in.
"Help me invite Envoy Liu to come over, and say that I have something to discuss."
"Yes." The official turned and ran out.
Governor Zhang tapped the desk with his right hand, his eyes were solemn, as if he was thinking about something.
After a few clicks, he looked up and let out a long sigh.
