Chapter 31: A Good Dog Raised by the County Lord
Hearing the shouting of Youzhi, everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to the past, and they saw the little guy stumbling over......
"General, it's dead, it's dead...... the little guy said in a panic.
What the? Dead? It's really unfortunate enough, such a thing happened on the day of the general's birthday, it seems that General Su will not be happy on this birthday.
"Who died?" Su Zhihai said in a deep voice.
"Yes...... Be...... It's the lady of Tanglin Bofu. "The little guy is hesitant.
It turned out to be the young lady of the Tanglin Bofu who died? Gu Yunxin didn't have much memory of this young lady from Donglingbo Mansion, but I heard that she was very beautiful and was known as the first beauty in Kyoto.
"What? My daughter is dead? Where is she? Where is she? Uncle Tanglin said in tears.
"In ...... On the rockery, Tanglin Bo...... You're still ......" The little guy wants to stop it, but how can he stop it? Now that he has died, although this Tanglin Bo is not an official in the court, he just has a title, but the ancestors also have merit to the Great Zhou, and the emperor also respects the Tanglin Bofu very much.
When it comes to the rockery, Gu Yunxin is uneasy, a woman died in the rockery, didn't she see or know something that she shouldn't know and was killed?
Everyone followed Dongling Bo to the side of the rockery, and saw that the large blood stains on the forehead of Tao Yanran, the young lady of Dongling Bofu, had turned black, and Dongling Bo just howled twice and then rolled his eyes and passed out.
Su Zhihai ordered someone to carry Donglingbo to the guest room to rest, and just when she was about to send someone to send Tao Yanran's body back to Donglingbo's mansion, Su Shaofei slowly opened his mouth, "Father, Miss Tao's death is unknown, if she is sent back to the mansion for burial like this, it will be bad for Donglingbo's mansion and our general's mansion." β
"So what do you say?" Su Zhihai said in a deep voice.
"Report to the police. This matter can only be handed over to the government to deal with, so that Miss Tao will not die clearly, and she can give an explanation to Donglingbo Mansion. Su Shaofei said lightly.
Noncommittal, Su Shaofei said that it was the most correct choice, the people who came to the banquet today were all nobles from Kyoto, of course, there were also political enemies in the court, if he didn't handle it properly, it would be difficult for the emperor to explain.
Thinking of this, Su Zhihai said in a deep voice: "Come on, fence off the crime scene, and besides, you kid is waiting here, the arrest of the Council Mansion is coming soon, you have to cooperate well, do you know?" β
Immediately, the soldiers in Su Zhihai's mansion had already surrounded the scene of the crime, and when someone saw what happened, they thought about leaving, and it had nothing to do with them.
"General, there are still important matters in the lower mansion, so I won't bother." After that, General Mingwei Wu Pengfei was about to leave.
"General Mingwei stayed, something happened in the house, everyone present was suspicious, before the council's mansion arrived, please be calm." Su Zhihai said coldly.
Then, Su Shaofei arranged everyone to rest in the guest room, Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue and others were in the same room, from outside, Xiao Ziming and Xiao Sirui were also among them.
"Yunxin, don't be afraid, everything has me." Xiao Ziming said flatteringly.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
Now that she and Xiao Ziming have not canceled the marriage contract, if she is extremely cold to him now, I am afraid that when she cancels the marriage contract in the future, she will be criticized for being premeditated.
"I should care about you, you are my fiancΓ©e, by the way, I have asked my father to invite the emperor so that we can get married as soon as possible." Xiao Ziming said with a smile on his face.
What the? actually asked the emperor to get married in advance, how can this work, she hasn't figured out how to cancel the marriage contract with this Xiao Ziming, how is this good.
Gu Yunxin's face was worried, and in Xiao Ziming's eyes, it was the shyness of the woman to be married, and he was immediately overjoyed. Seeing this, Xiao Sirui on the side pouted, "Hmph, I didn't expect the dignified Taifu concubine to be so happy when she heard that she was going to marry my brother, too, my brother is so good, you should be happy, when you enter our Ningguo Marquis Mansion, you have to serve my parents well, and take a concubine for my brother, do you know?" Don't be jealous of those women. β
Heh, this Xiao Sirui also takes their Ningguo Marquis Mansion too seriously, let alone this life, even in the previous life, Gu Yunxin was not because of Xiao Ziming's identity, but really confused by this man's charm.
Gu Yunxin naturally ignored Xiao Sirui's shouting, and thought it was a mad dog barking. Seeing this, the maid beside Xiao Sirui also began to fight with people, "Miss Gu, my county lord is talking to you, why don't you ignore people?" Is it still too Fu and a daughter? Is this the kind of upbringing? β
"Yunzhu, don't be rude." Xiao Ziming said in a deep voice.
Don't look at Xiao Ziming reprimanded Yunzhu, but this is what he wanted to say to Gu Yunxin, but he just took the mouth of a servant girl and said it.
"Lord Lauder really has a good dog, it's just that barking casually like this is annoying." Zhan Tianpeng said coldly.
"What do you mean by this, Third Prince?" Xiao Sirui glared at Zhan Tianpeng angrily.
"What do you mean? This son is praising the Lord of Lauder County for raising a good dog and protecting the Lord loyally, what? Could it be that the Lauder County Lord wants his dog to be loyal to others? Zhan Tianpeng said coldly.
In Kyoto, the three sons of the Zhan family are also very famous, especially the third son Zhan Tianpeng, who has the title of the cold-faced Hades.
This title comes from the title given to him by the enemy army on the battlefield, Zhan Jia's sons are outstanding, Zhan Tianpeng was only twelve years old when he was young, he followed his father to fight on the battlefield, and personally cut off the head of the enemy commander, and since then he has become famous in a battle, because he doesn't like to laugh on weekdays, so he got the title of the cold-faced Hades.
Even if this Xiao Sirui is a county lord, he doesn't dare to argue with this Zhan Tianpeng, seeing that the Xiao family brothers and sisters are silent, Zhan Tianpeng stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Yunxin, "Yunxin, you better follow the third brother, so as not to be bitten by dogs again." β
"Yes, yes, follow your brothers, if you encounter a mad dog, your brothers will beat it away for you." Zhan Tianhong said with a smile.
Hearing the two of them say this, Gu Yunxin smiled lightly, and a warm current surged up in his heart, in the previous life, the three elder brothers of the Zhan family were also very good to her, but it was a pity that because of their stupidity, they killed them. Thinking of this, Gu Yun's heart was full of guilt.
Tao Yanran's body was carried back to the Council Mansion after a simple examination, and the guests present were all royal relatives and nobles.
When the governor of the council came to the room where Gu Yunxin was, he had an even more headache, all the people in this room could not afford to offend, the prince and the princess of Xiangyang, the prince of Ningguo and the lord of Lauder County, as well as the three sons of the Dingguo Mansion and the first talented daughter of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"The lower officials have asked a few nobles to say goodbye." The governor's office Yin arched his hand.
"Excuse me, if you have anything to ask, just ask, and the county lord will have to choose clothes in a while." The Lauder County Lord said proudly.
"Yes, may I ask the county lord, where was the murder when it happened?"
"Of course it's in the hall, what, are you suspicious of the county lord?" Xiao Sirui raised his voice.
This question did not scare the governor Yin Wei, in the process of questioning just now, he had been questioned by many dignitaries, so when facing Xiao Sirui, he was not so afraid.
After asking Xiao Sirui and Xiao Ziming, the governor's mansion Yin turned around and began to ask He Yunhai and Zhan Xinyue about the couple, these two people are good-natured, so they naturally simply answered where they had been.
Because Zhan Xinyue and his wife mentioned just now that they had been with the three brothers of the Zhan family and Gu Yunxin just now, then there was naturally no need for the Council Mansion Yin to do anything more. After all, he still doesn't want to offend that cold-faced Hades.
Xiao Sirui saw that the governor's mansion Yin did not ask the three sons of the Zhan family and Gu Yunxin, and immediately felt displeased, "Hey, Chen Guangcai, why don't you interrogate the four of them?" Isn't it because you're trying to shield them? β
This Xiao Sirui is really a brain-dead, just now the prince and the princess of Xiangyang have said that they have been with the three sons of the Zhan family and Gu Yunxin, so does he need to ask anything more? Isn't it the same answer?
"Lord Lauder County, this official has his own way of handling cases, so he doesn't have to worry about the county lord." After finishing speaking, Chen Guangcai arched his hand and walked out.
The words that Master Chen asked about it were also recorded one by one by the masters around him, and he had already asked the people present to draw them. This matter is really too big, when I came to the General's Mansion just now, there were already people watching, although this Tao Yanran's body was carried out from the back door, but it may not be able to cover this matter.
Think about it carefully, the person who dares to do it in the General's Mansion can see that this person also has some identity, otherwise how could he have no clue at all?
There was no news in Kyoto that could not be hidden, and soon, the murder of the Great General's Mansion was spread, and the people privately discussed who killed the young lady in the Tanglin Mansion.
And this matter quickly reached the ears of the emperor, Dongling Bo entered the palace and cried, begging the emperor to arrest the real murderer with a thousand knives, but the council had no clue, could it be that it was the gangsters who killed Miss Tao?
In fact, when the autopsy was conducted, he had already discovered something, but he quietly hid the incriminating evidence because of his power.
However, just when this matter was rumored to be mysterious, the evidence of the crime that was secretly hidden fell on the emperor's case.
For a while, everyone was speculating about who did this, and why that person had the ability to find the evidence of the crime and send it to the emperor.
"Master, what do you think about this matter?" Hongxuan said softly.
"This thing...... I look more like the people of the rivers and lakes. With that, Gu Yunxin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Hongxuan.
After what happened that day, Gu Yunxin quietly arranged for Hongxuan to check, Hongxuan came from the rivers and lakes, so naturally there was a way to hide herself and at the same time search for useful information.
"Who does the master think killed Miss Tao?"
"Naturally, he is the owner of the jade pendant in Tao Yanran's hand." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
Come to think of it, the man killed Tao Yanran in a panic, and he didn't notice that his jade pendant was ripped off by Tao Yanran, and finally became evidence of his murder.
