Chapter Fifty-Six: There Are Two Dead
Liansheng returned to the Huxin Pavilion and sat down, and looked at the pomegranate holding a cloth bag: "I think the girl is waiting for me in a hurry." I'll take the dress, and I'll serve the girl and put it on. ”
Liansheng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Madame is busy at this time, so I won't bother, and I'll come to the door another day to apologize to Madame." ”
"What do you say, how can you tell your guests to go back in dirty clothes, Madame knows that she will definitely blame me, and the girl should pity me." Pomegranate said it sincerely.
As soon as Liansheng was about to speak again, he heard that there were three wives who were sweeping in Hulala, still dragging brooms in their hands, stumbling and crawling, and shouting "Dead man, dead man." ”
Lian Sheng was shocked: she could die if she pierced her chest shallowly, her face changed, and she immediately clenched her fists and asked herself to calm down, not to panic, maybe she wasn't talking about the drunk.
"You old goods, what are you arrogant, this garden is also a place for you to spread wild, hurry up and go away, otherwise you will be called out."
Pomegranate pointed at the leading mother-in-law and scolded.
"Girl, girl, it's really dead, such a big pool of blood, it's scared to death."
The mother-in-law stood and pointed in the direction of the bamboo forest: "The old slaves were going to clean the house over there, but when they pushed the door in, they saw a person lying inside, and the old woman thought it was drunk, and when I walked over, it turned out to be a dead man, and there was a lot of blood on the ground." ”
Pomegranate covered her mouth with her hand, "Oh my God, there is such a thing, go and tell the chief manager quickly." Can you see who is dead? ”
"It seems to be a little brother who always comes to deliver spices."
Send spices. Lian Sheng looked in the direction of the bamboo forest, it turned out that the drunkard was from the Ren family? It's really a coincidence, so what you see for yourself can really be popular?
"Since there is something wrong, I will leave, and the girl will hurry up and go to take care of it."
So how can the pomegranate make Liansheng get out of the light, and this play can't be sung? She took Liansheng's hand: "The girl was also in that room, but she wasn't bumped into, right?" ”
Lian Sheng squinted at her with a smile: "Pomegranate girl, what do you doubt about me?" ”
"How can it be, I just care about Miss Gu."
While talking, Pomegranate called a small servant to find the chief manager to report the news, and at the same time strictly ordered the mother-in-law not to talk around, if she bumped into her, she would definitely hit the board. The mother-in-law kept silent, and when they were far away, they took a sip: "What is it?" It's just a slave who serves the slave, and he still poses as a young lady? Phew. ”
The pomegranate grabbed Liansheng and didn't let go, and Liansheng knew in his heart that this was a trap waiting for him to jump in. What to do? I don't admit that the hairpin is my own, as long as I find a chance to get out of this palace. But this dead girl seems to care about her affection, but in fact she is holding on to herself and not allowing herself to run, which is really hateful.
Thinking of this, Lian Sheng looked at the sun, pretended to be surprised, and said, "Oh, it's already mid-day, and there is still something to discuss with Lord Gongyuan Wang, so I have to go back." As he spoke, he reached out to break Pomegranate's hand. Pomegranate's eyes widened, she couldn't imagine that this person could play cards unreasonably, and directly break them.
But this is Gu Liansheng, I don't care what etiquette you have and what women should pay attention to, sister just wants not to fall into your trap, and get out of this place as soon as possible.
Lian Sheng broke her hand, turned her head and ran, Pomegranate was in a hurry, grabbed Lian Sheng's sleeve, with a polite smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and piercing: "Girl, what are you anxious about?" ”
"When I am on business, I am naturally in a hurry." Lian Sheng sneered: "Pomegranate girl, please tell Madame, don't always be a fool to others, it's not that others don't care about some things, it's just that they are afraid of hurting the jade bottle, there are honorable people there, I don't want to hurt my face." ”
When Pomegranate heard this, she dropped her face directly: "Who is the girl talking about?" ”
"Whoever has a weak heart will speak of whomever he is. Let go of me, my dignified Dali Temple maid, what kind of system do you hold on to my sleeve? You're just a minion, although it's up to the master to beat the dog, don't really take yourself seriously. Liansheng said and tugged on his sleeves, the cuffs were torn, and they were torn by pomegranates, and Liansheng sneered: "This is the hospitality of the Qin Palace!" ”
As she spoke, she had already rushed out, and she could escape as long as she ran fast. Thinking like this, Liansheng strode forward, and the pomegranate really didn't dare to shout, so she chased after her, she had a ghost in her heart.
Liansheng ran out of the garden, and then through a courtyard to the side gate. At this moment, a group of people came out of the corner hula in front of him, and Liansheng couldn't dodge it and collided with the people walking in front. The man was nothing, she was small, and sat on the ground. I heard a shrill voice shouting: "Bold, dare to disturb the prince, drag it down!" ”
Before Liansheng could get up, someone came up and grabbed her arm and was about to drag her down, Liansheng hurriedly shouted: "Lord save me, someone in this courtyard framed me!" “
"Oh, you're not from the palace."
King Qin scolded his subordinates and asked kindly: "Okay, why are you in such a hurry, stand up and say what happened." “
Lian Sheng stood up, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and saluted: "Meet His Royal Highness King Qin." “
"It's a little familiar to look like this, where has this king seen you."
"Your Royal Highness, the official surnamed Gu, was trusted by His Royal Highness to be appointed as the deputy envoy of the palace during the Gongyuan case, and then he was recommended by Lord Jinyi Weiyu to just enter Dali Temple, and has not yet gone to Beijing to take up his new post."
"Oh, remember, it's you, you entered Dali Temple? Meddlesome. Yu Boy really did a good thing. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country and the people have been safe, and female officials have become increasingly scarce, so you are making a good start for women in the world. ”
"Your Highness praises falsely. On the one hand, Liansheng's ability to enter Dali Temple was recommended by Yu Daren, and more importantly, in the case of Lord Feng's murder, His Royal Highness trusted Liansheng and entrusted him with important tasks, so that the lower officials had a chance. ”
"Okay, when this king saw you at a young age that day, when he talked about the case, he knew that he would have a great future in the future." King Qin is in his forties, he is a beautiful uncle with excellent demeanor, Liansheng saw him and remembered the eight kings played by Uncle Dao Ming in "Young Bao Qingtian", he really has that kind of self-respecting temperament and extraordinary energy, maybe it is the Uncle Ming effect, which makes people feel good when they look at it.
At this time, the eunuch suddenly pointed to a place and shouted, "Who is peeping here?" ”
Pomegranate came out of the corner trembling and knelt on the ground with her head bowed.
"You're from You's house?"
"Yes, the slave maid is to serve Mrs. You."
"Alright, forgive your innocence, step aside."
Pomegranate hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and said, "Your Highness, this Gu girl is suspected of murder, and she must not be let go." ”
"Murder? How could she come to the palace, and there is still a suspicion of murder? ”
When King Qin heard this, he remembered Mrs. You's petty temperament of holding grudges, and knew in his heart that Mrs. You must not listen to his advice and wanted to make trouble. But since the matter was shouted, it was impossible to pretend not to hear it in front of so many attendants.
"Your Royal Highness, the lower official received a post from Mrs. You three days ago, asking the lower official to come to the palace to enjoy the chrysanthemums."
Lian Sheng snatched the pomegranate's words, and said hurriedly: "After coming to the Huxin Pavilion in this back garden, Madame heard that there was something wrong with the little boy, so she went to visit, and the lower official was sitting there and was stained by a maid sister. As she spoke, she pointed to the large dark red juice marks on the placket of her clothes to show King Qin.
King Qin nodded and motioned for her to continue. The pomegranate wanted to steal the conversation, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the big eunuch beside King Qin scolded: "Your Highness didn't let you speak." Pomegranate could only grit her teeth, her hands clenched tightly, and lowered her head to think of ideas.
The pomegranate girl said that she would take the lower official to change her clothes, and took the lower official to a bamboo forest, and said that she would go and get the clothes and leave, and the lower official waited in the hut, but a drunkard came and took out a hairpin and pierced herself. The lower official knew that this matter was strange and hurriedly left, and the pomegranate girl chased after her. ”
King Qin looked at the pomegranate: "What do you have to say?" ”
"Your Highness, the slave maid took the clothes, and I heard that a dead person was found in the hut, and I was worried that Miss Gu would be frightened, so I chased her with no evil intentions."
"Believe you, where is the dead man, this king will see."
King Qin was about to leave. The eunuch hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, don't pollute Your Highness's eyes with such pickled things." ”
"It's not a trivial thing for such a thing to happen in the house. Lead the way. ”
"Your Highness, can the lower officials leave?"
"Since you are also the subject of the matter, it is natural to stay and wait for the truth to be clarified."
Liansheng had no choice but to follow King Qin backwards. As soon as he walked to the gate of the garden, the chief steward was hurriedly coming out of it, and when he saw King Qin, he knelt on the ground and bowed. At this moment, Lian was secretly glad that Yu Shizhao had given him a seat in Dali Temple, after all, he was an official body, so he didn't have to kneel around.
"How?"
"Your Highness, there are indeed people in the bamboo forest who have been killed."
"Who is the dead?"
"It's the Nenghong girl from the Ren family's spice shop in the south of the city."
"That's not right!" When Lian Sheng heard this, she blurted out a question, and the eunuch glared at her, snorted coldly, and reprimanded: "Bold! ”
"Your Highness, just now I heard the woman say that the deceased was a man from the Ren family, and what I met in that house was a man, not a woman."
"Eh, this girl is anxious, the little one hasn't finished speaking, it's Miss Nenghong and the young master of the Ren family, and the dead are two people."
"How did they all die?"
"Died by a hairpin in the throat."
King Qin sighed: "Lord Gu, this is strange, you said that you are a drunkard with inappropriate words, but at this time, two people were killed, the matter is too strange, you can't stay out of it." ”
Liansheng smiled bitterly: "The lower officials didn't expect that before they took up their new duties, this lawsuit would come to the door." ”
"I'm afraid that Lord Gu will be a guest in my mansion for a few more days."
"The subordinate officials are suspicious, so naturally they all obey." Liansheng's words are neither humble nor arrogant, and the meaning is very clear: I promised you to stay in the house and wait for the suspicion to be cleared because there was a suspicion at the scene of the crime.
King Qin bowed slightly: This woman has a clear mind and can speak well, Mrs. You is asking for trouble for herself again.
Liansheng then stepped forward, put on a very considerate look for King Qin, and whispered: "If such a big thing happens in the palace, Your Highness will report to the official." ”
Without waiting for King Qin to speak, the chief steward said in a sharp voice: "Presumptuous, how can there be a place for you to speak in front of Your Highness." ”
"Since the lower officials are in Dali Temple, they can't help but be eager to try when they see the case."
King Qin smiled: "It's just that this time you yourself are also suspicious, and this case can't be handed over to you." ”
The death of the drunk man must have been used by Mrs. You to frame herself, Liansheng knew that if King Qin covered up for Mrs. You, he might be a little mud and find a reason to prevaricate in the past, but before he went to Dali Temple to take up his official post, he was involved in such a murder case, which was very bad for his future reputation and official reputation. Iron has to be its own, how to get hard.
Only when this matter is made of trouble can he wash away his suspicions, and if he is pressed into a small area, he will really be unable to tell his mouth.
"Master Gu, please. Send Master Gu to the room to rest. ”
King Qin smiled and had a kind attitude on the surface, but this was to put Liansheng under house arrest directly, and not give her a chance to clear herself.
Liansheng was in a hurry, and seeing that the guards stepped forward to set himself up and leave, he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Your Highness, that maid Nenghong is a suspect in the white bone case in the lotus pond, since she died in the palace, she must report to the official." ”
"This king guards on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and everything in this territory is up to me. Master Gu, don't forget who is in the world now. ”
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and if someone is killed in the palace, His Royal Highness will not be able to escape the suspicion. This matter is not something that His Highness can suppress. ”
"Okay, it's really an upright female sentence. Before I officially arrived, he pressed me with the law. It was the first time that King Qin was contradicted like this, and he laughed angrily.
Lian Sheng was afraid that he would be placed under house arrest and casually charged himself, so he didn't choose to say anything for a while, and when he heard King Qin say this, he was worried that something would happen, so he heard a burst of laughter from behind: "You girl." It's really lawless that I connived at, and I don't make amends to His Royal Highness King Qin. ”
When Liansheng heard this laughter, he almost cried: Lord Yu, it's really time for you to come.
