Chapter 153, I have to see the prince of the dead

When Xu Pengju heard this, if his grandfather knew about the serious consequences, he immediately spoke:

"Yes, cousin, what Shen Mu said is that if a person of our status is arrested as a murder suspect, then he will not be teased to death if he says it, and he can't afford to lose this person! Cousin, I think we'd better go home early. ”

"Looking at my cousin, what he means is that my Ming Yingtianfu Mansion Yin is a fool, and his rule is all unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, so he will arrest us as murder suspects.

If that's the case, this little master can't stand idly by, and cousin, are you sure that the people from Ying Tianfu are here, and they won't recognize your little grandfather's face, do they really dare to put me, who is your cousin, in prison? ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, not only was he not intimidated, but he looked at his cheap cousin with a smile on his face.

"Huh!" , Xu Pengju, the little grandfather of the Guogong Mansion, choked up immediately when he heard this.

In fact, he also knows that there are really few people in Nanjing City, especially in the officialdom, who doesn't know who Xu Pengju is?

Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Mu with some resentment, blaming this kid for finding this broken reason, which was not reliable at all.

He just followed this kid's words, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince scold him, this is very unfair, okay?

What now?

Of course, Shen Mu also received Xu Pengju's resentful eyes, he didn't say anything, but slapped his face with his hand and signaled.

Seeing this, Xu Pengju immediately reacted, and when they went out today, their faces were easy to look at.

Although his appearance has not changed much, ordinary people still can't recognize him, the little grandfather of the Wei Mansion.

So he whispered again: "Cousin, have you forgotten the faces of the two of us today?" ”

"Well, cousin, do you listen to you or me?" Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, immediately said with a straight face when he heard this. This was a bit serious, and Xu Pengju didn't dare to stop anything immediately.

In fact, after getting along with Zhu Houzhao, a bear child, Shen Mu has already seen that this royal bear child, even if it is a bear child, cannot treat each other in the same way as an ordinary bear child.

They're not that stupid at all, and they're not something to be fooled with.

Probably because they were born in the royal family, they have been exposed to politics since childhood, and their sensitivity to politics is far higher than that of ordinary children.

If you encounter a case of an ordinary guest being killed in the Water Pavilion today, think about when there will be no dead people in the world, Zhu Houzhao, this bear child, is not stupid and sweet, maybe the interest is not so high.

But the one who died was an official, and in this era of transcendent official status, ordinary people have a strong sense of awe for officials.

Now someone dares to kill the officials of the Ming Dynasty, what a bad political event is this?

No wonder, Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, will hold on.

Also, even if Zhu Houzhao, a bear child, sneaked out of the palace and felt that he was not free in the palace, the identity of the crown prince was a constraint. But it doesn't mean that he will really abandon his status as the crown prince and not take on the responsibilities that come with being the crown prince.

With the heart of this bear child, if he is forcibly pulled away, perhaps, it will backfire, but it will attract the disgust of this bear child.

If he wants to get ahead in the brocade guard, he must not arouse the disgust of the future emperor.

Since this bear child is so interested in solving the case, doesn't this coincide with his original idea?

In that case, why did he have to stop it?

Although there are many dangers in this water pavilion now, he believes that with his escort, there should be no major mistakes. Not to mention. Wei Guogong will never let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have an accident on his own territory.

Besides, Zhu Houzhao, the bear child, went out today, and he was also disguised to a certain extent, even if he was a familiar person, he might not be able to recognize his identity at a glance, let alone in this unfamiliar Nanjing City.

Even if someone doubts the true identity of this bear child, they don't dare to act rashly.

Thinking of this, he gave Xu Peng a reassuring look and motioned to the other party to act at any opportunity.

Xu Pengju also reacted at this time, since he couldn't stop His Royal Highness the Prince's willful behavior, it was better to seize the initiative in his own hands.

So, he quickly returned to his box, wet his handkerchief with the tea on the table, removed most of the disguise on his face, and then came to the door of the dead man's box again and said, "Who dares to be so bold and kill people under the nose of this little grandfather?" ”

And Shen Mu had already followed Zhu Houzhao's bear child to stand in front of the corpse at this time.

Begin to take a closer look at the corpse.

Hey, there seems to be some water stains under the feet of this corpse?

At this time, some onlookers already recognized Xu Pengju's identity.

Gather around and say hello to him.

How can Xu Pengju have the heart to greet these people now? As the first gentleman in Nanjing, he is not in vain.

Immediately stood at the door of the box and stopped the others from the door. Yi pointed and said: "What about the steward of this Water Pavilion, why don't you call him over to this little grandfather, don't you see all the dead people?" ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties with a white face and a thin face nodding and standing up.

"Back to the little grandfather, the little Wang Fu is the steward of this water pavilion."

"You're the steward of this Water Pavilion?" Xu Pengju frowned and asked.

"It's the villain."

"Then who did you tell this little grandfather who died?

Why did you die in your water pavilion? ”

When the steward heard this, he immediately made a sad expression and said:

"Back to the little grandfather's words, the villain heard that it was Langzhong of the Nanjing household, but how he died, the villain really doesn't know!

This guest entered the box, generally without orders, we can not disturb at will, and ask the little grandfather to be the master of our water pavilion! ”

When this steward spoke, Shen Mu kept paying attention to the other party's expression and movements when he spoke.

When the steward replied to Xu Pengju's questioning, his body had always been facing the three of them, and his toes were also facing them, and he did not show any subconscious evasive behavior.

From this, he judged that this steward, in the murder of Tobu Langzhong, may not really be an insider.

Moreover, on the other hand, if this Water Pavilion is really a stronghold of the Maitreya Sect, then they should be even more afraid of having something to do with the government and causing the government to investigate, even if they kill people, they will definitely not choose to do it in their own Water Pavilion.

So, the murderer who killed this Tobe Lang was among the guests present?

Thinking of this, Shen Mu also asked, "Even if you don't know who killed this guest, you should know when he came to your Water Pavilion?"

Are there any people who are traveling with you?

Or with whom do you have an appointment?

Has anyone ever been in or out of this box?
