Chapter 51: The Witness Dies

"Two meat and two vegetables, a bowl of rice, meat and fish and duck, vegetarian vegetables, and a pot of sake are enough."

"Huh"

Seeing that Xiao Er was directly stupid by Shi Zhongtai's words, Zhou Kangren couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, the two sons wait a minute, the younger one will go to the kitchen and tell the cook, let him do it well, do it with his heart."

"Haha, Zhongtai really has you. I said that today is my treat, is it too polite to me to have two meat and two vegetables? ”

Shi Zhongtai's eyes fell on the waterfront under the stone bridge, and the index finger of his right hand subconsciously slapped the unknown rhythm, "I don't know, is she doing well?" ”

"Huh? Who are you talking about? Which one of her? Don't tell me that besides the princess, you have a sweetheart! "Zhou Kangren walked to Shi Zhongtai's side at some point, and when he heard the 'she' in his mouth, his heart was about to be shocked.

"Are you deaf, or are you old? I'm not talking about 'she', I'm talking about him. ”

Zhou Kangren didn't believe it at all, and continued to ask, "He? Which he? ”

"He refers to my father, my relatives and friends, and he can also refer to the saint today, and he can also refer to the person in front of me, Zhou Kangren."

Shi Zhongtai said as he approached Zhou Kangren, forcing Zhou Kangren into the corner step by step, "Just say what you say, what are you doing watching me do like this, it's weird and scary." ”

Shi Zhongtai didn't speak, just looked at him indifferently, without a trace of emotion.

"Buckle"

"Yo, what are you doing?" Glancing at the two people standing, Xiao Er walked towards the table with a tray, "Knowing that the two sons still have things to do behind, Xiao Yi specially prepared a pot of fruit wine for the two, the degree is not high, and he will not get drunk after drinking." ”

"This is the two meat and two vegetables ordered by the childe, a pot of sake, and a rice. Your dishes are ready, please taste them slowly, and the small ones will retire first. ”

"Squeak"

During the whole process, Xiao Er was like a gust of wind blowing, if it weren't for the steaming food on the table, it seemed that there would be nothing to prove his footprints.

Fortunately, Xiao Er's sudden episode broke Shi Zhongtai's cold eyes, and also let the anxious Zhou Kangren get out of the tiger's mouth, but he was so scared in his heart that he didn't dare to provoke this uncertain little lion anymore.

After three rounds of drinking, the meal was almost finished, the two of them sat on the chairs, both with tea in one hand, lying back, four boots high on the wine table, eyes half-squinted looking at the bright blue sky outside the window, very comfortable.

"Wow"

"Buckle Buckle"

"Adult"

A panting male voice broke the silence of the room.

Zhou Kangren glanced at Shi Zhongtai sideways, and saw that he didn't react, blinking his eyes and not saying a word, learning to look at the sky.

"Lord Zhou, something happened to the Yamen."

Hearing this, Zhou Kangren couldn't sit still, got up and opened the door, it seemed that the person was wearing the jailer's clothes, his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it Mrs. Mingxiu?" ”

Shi Zhongtai, who was in the room, retracted his thoughts and turned his head to look over.

The jailer shook his head and said urgently, "It's the stinging mink that your lord interrogated some time ago." ”

"Dead?"

This sentence was asked by Shi Zhongtai, and the thorn mink is an important witness in the case of Mrs. Mingxiu, and the witness has an accident, and Shi Zhongtai must be anxious.

"Yes."

"Bastard!"

With Shi Zhongtai's angry scolding, the two followed the jailer to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion.

Jingzhao Mansion Prison.

"Master Shi, Master Zhou"

"Lead the way!"

"Whoa"

Shi Zhongtai came out of Shuiyue Tower, his face was black all the time, he was angry all the way, and the frightened jailer didn't dare to say more, and honestly led the way.

After a lot of rounds, he finally arrived at the place, and before he entered the cell, Shi Zhongtai's brows furrowed, and he stopped his steps in time. The sour smell of decay and the smell of blood were still a little there, Shi Zhongtai covered his nose and asked with a little disgust, "Is it coming?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, the one lying on the table in the cell is the old Wu Tou."

Glancing in the direction, he saw that there was indeed a table in the cell, and an old man was lying on it writing something, Shi Zhongtai looked back at Zhou Kangren, "I won't look at it, anyway, the person is dead, just ask him for a while." If you want to see, you can go in by yourself, and I'll wait for you outside. ”

After that, he didn't wait for Zhou Kangren to speak, he covered his nose and walked out to avoid the crowd.

"Adult"

"My lord, do you want to go in?"

"Wow!"

Zhou Kangren flicked his long sleeves, glared fiercely at the jailer who led the way, and said angrily, "What, do you think I will cover my nose and leave like Master Shi?" ”

"He's him, I'm me!"

In the past, the cell felt good, but now in Zhou Kangren's eyes, it felt very dark, and the smell of feces and urine was worse than before. After saying that, Zhou Kangren couldn't wave his sleeves and leave in front of the jailers, so he had to step in, take a cursory glance and leave perfunctorily.

"Let Lao Wu Tou come over to report in a while, and I will wait for him in the room with Master Shi."

"Whoa"

Half a quarter of an hour later.

"The villain Wu Dongyang meets the two adults."

"Old Wu Tou, how did the thorn marten die?"

Old Wu Tou looked at Zhou Kangren, "Back to Lord Zhou, that thorny mink was stabbed to death with bamboo chopsticks." ”

"Bamboo chopsticks?" Shi Zhongtai interjected and asked, "Is the prisoner a legendary hero or is he a stunt who can make bamboo chopsticks hurt people?" ”

Old Wu said expressionlessly, "Master Hui, the one who did it was just an ordinary man, not a hero as the adults said." ”

"Where is the injury?"

"The door of the heart."

After the old Wu head retreated, Zhou Kangren looked at Shi Zhongtai with a nervous expression, and shouted softly in a trembling voice, "Zhongtai"

"Huh?"

"What's wrong with you, Kangren, why did your face become so pale?"

turned his head to look, only to see that Zhou Kangren's face was pale, and he was still sweating profusely on his forehead, looking very panicked.

"Zhongtai, Ji Xiaogongzi is also heartbroken to death."

Oh, your sister, what you can't hit with eight poles, it's related to a yarn.

didn't care in his heart, Shi Zhongtai still cared and comforted, "It's just a coincidence, Kang Ren thinks too much." ”

"Will it? So why don't you start elsewhere, but stab yourself in the heart? ”

"No, I still think it's different, I'm going to interrogate that prisoner, Zhongtai, are you going?"

This stubborn cow is starting to drill the horns again.

Shi Zhongtai waved his hand, and said with an embarrassed face, "You go first, I haven't recovered from the smell of the cell just now, I'll look for you later when I'm better." ”

"Okay, I'll go first, if you don't feel well, go back and rest first, and I'll interrogate that prisoner."

"Well, there you go."

Seeing Zhou Kangren leaving, Shi Zhongtai instructed the jailer outside the door, "Call Old Wu Tou." ”
