Pei's mansion was already in a mess, there was a corpse that had just been salvaged from the water in the lobby, and the hostess, Li Yan, the county lord of Yanguang, sat on the ground in a daze, as if she couldn't believe that the pale, lifeless man was her husband who was still intimate with her less than an hour ago.

Yang Guozhong strode through Pei's subordinates, walked up to the hall, bent down to look at the appearance of the corpse, covered his nose and reached out to pinch the chin of the deceased, and carefully observed on the exposed neck, and found no traces of being strangled.

He let go of his hand and stood up, glanced left and right, and said in a deep voice.

"Who discovered him first?"

"It's small." A subordinate replied tremblingly, his body was drenched, and he didn't know whether he was cold or scared, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

"Where did you find it?"

"In the pond in the front yard."

Parvis? Yang Guozhong obviously felt a little strange, but he didn't say anything, just let his people take care of all these subordinates, and it didn't take long for the sound of a large group of people to sound outside the mansion, Xian Yuxiang surrounded the entire Pei Mansion with the messengers of Jingzhao Mansion, and then, a team of poor people with iron rulers and horizontal knives on their waists and soap hats rushed in, one by one like wolves and tigers.

"Doctor, what's wrong?"

Xian Yuxiang pulled Yang Guozhong aside and asked softly.

"Pei Hui is dead, the people in his mansion said that he drowned, I let you come, just for one thing, to connect his death with the people in the prince's mansion, no matter what reason is used."

Xian Yu glanced back, the work he brought was already checking the corpse, and those who sent people were all pulling people around, in order to prevent collusion, they would take them to different places, torture, and then find out the contradictions, this is a conventional method, the original inventor was the famous cool official of the Nawu Dynasty, Lai Junchen.

"The doctor arrived first, but what did you find?"

"It's not good, there are no obvious traces on the corpse, there is a smell of alcohol in the mouth, they say that they are drunk and stumbled, but it is a little puzzling."

Yang Guozhong looked at the corpse like him, and continued: "He drank the wine here, but he drowned in the pond in the front yard, from here to the front yard, it is two hundred steps, so far away, how can a drunk and unconscious person walk over without any subordinates following?" ”

Xian Yu nodded in agreement: "Not only that, what kind of sky is it outside now, he has to shiver when he is dressed neatly, he only wears a collar shirt, and he has not tied a belt, not to mention walking two hundred steps, that is, as soon as he leaves the lobby, no matter how much wine blows, he should wake up, there must be something strange here." ”

"Did you find his shoes in the pond?"

"They said it was too dark to see clearly."

Xian Yuxiang immediately turned his head and ordered: "Order someone to go down with a lantern to fish, even if the water is drained, you must also find his shoes." ”

The messenger he brought was immediately busy, and the entire Pei Mansion seemed to be boiling, and there were voices, figures, shouting, crying, and quarreling everywhere.

And the only thing that was quiet was the small figure kneeling not far in front of her husband's corpse, and a maid beside her.

After the inspection was completed, the two glanced at each other, tacitly walked up to the hall, and asked Xian Yu pretending to be puzzled.

"Who is she, and how is it that no one asks?"

The maid on the side glared angrily and replied: "Bold, this is the Lord of Yanguang, how can I allow you to be humiliated." ”

"County Lord, it is inconvenient for this official to ask, but what are you, and if you dare to go back to this mansion, someone will drag her down and torture her carefully, if there is anything untrue, you don't need to be polite."

The maid was shocked: "You dare to ......"

Before she finished speaking, someone had already stepped forward, one of them grabbed the side, and even covered her mouth, just like this, she was dragged down with her feet, and the maid looked at the woman underground, as if she had lost her soul and was unconscious, as if she had blocked her hearing and hearing.

Yang Guozhong glanced at him, retreated in a knowing manner, and ordered someone to hold the door of the lobby, only the two of them and a cold corpse were left in the hall.

Yang Guozhong circled around the woman, and immediately found that something was wrong, the clothes worn by the woman not only had traces of tearing, but also were very irregular, under the gauzy-like blouse, the obscene clothes were not tied, but only on the chest, and were pressed against the two protrusions, giving people a very tempting visual impact, almost making his body react immediately.

He half-squatted down beside the woman, and immediately smelled a familiar smell, which was the breath left over from the **** time, less than an hour, if there was no bath, it was difficult to eliminate, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Why did you kill him?"

He said this almost close to Li Yan's ear, and the woman seemed to be awakened from a dream, subconsciously glanced at him, and let out an exclamation.

"Who are you?"

"You don't recognize so-and-so?" Yang Guozhong smiled: "The person your father wants to die every day, will you not recognize it?" ”

Yang ...... Dr. Yang. Li Yan really knows him, the relationship between the two families is not shallow, and she has been to the Yang Mansion more than once.

"What did you say?"

"So-and-so, why did you kill your husband?"

Yang Guozhong stared at the woman's face without blinking, seeing her expression change several times, his eyes were terrified.

"You are talking nonsense, how could I harm Pei Lang, he fell into the water and died."

"It's not you, why, your husband is dead, and you don't even have a single tear, and you don't care?"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe he's dead." Li Yan let out a terrible cry, and Yang Guozhong snorted coldly.

"It's too late to deny it at this time."

Yang Guozhong stood up, word by word like a lightning strike.

"Today, Pei Langjun was confined to the mansion by the Son of Heaven, in addition to the Cui family and the Liu family, there was also his brother-in-law, Zhang Qing, he came the latest and left the latest, the person was personally sent out of the house by you, what was said during the period, you know it yourself, why not Pei Hui sent it?"

"Because you have an affair with him."

Li Yan opened her mouth wide in surprise, she never expected that the other party would say this.

"I didn't, I didn't, Jun was drunk at the time and couldn't get up to send it off, so I sent it back and didn't stay......"

"Well said, Pei Hui was so drunk that he couldn't get up to give it away, but he was able to walk two hundred steps by himself and throw water into the front yard, do you think anyone believes it?"

Yang Guozhong ignored her panic and continued: "The day before yesterday, Zhang Qing instigated him to go to Jinchangfang to make trouble, but he stayed out of it. ”

"The Son of Heaven has condemned him, Pei Langjun naturally wants to use wine to kill his sorrows, you have calculated it, and when he is drunk, throw him into the pond together, creating the illusion of drowning, and you can complete the ************* of your adulterer!"

Li Yan was so anxious that she waved her hand again and again: "No, you are talking nonsense, I don't." ”

"Naturally, you won't admit it, it's okay, your maid will speak, wait a while, I'll go and open the clear, see how hard his mouth is."

Yang Guozhong laughed "haha", didn't look at the woman who was on the ground, and strode out of the hall, the night outside was dark, but his heart was as clear as day.

It's almost dawn.
