Zheng Guanlan took Li Rong and Dong Xuanjing to the study together.

"Uncle Jia hanged himself in the study," Zheng Guanlan said with a hint of sadness.

Zheng Lianshan has been working in Beijing for a long time and has been away from home for several years. But in the past, when he was not out of office, he treated Zheng Guanlan quite well, and often took the young Zheng Guanlan out to play, and the uncle and nephew had a deep relationship.

"Why didn't Zheng Yuanwailang want to hang himself?" Li Rong pushed the door and entered.

"I don't know." Zheng Guanlan said with a wry smile.

Zheng Lianshan is not very old, he is in a high position, he has a good wife, and he is backed by a wealthy family. Zheng Gao's official residence of the Zheng family, who was about to operate Zheng Lianshan's release of the foreign state assassin history, how could he have thought of such a thing.

After the incident, Zheng Jing, who was far away in Xingyang, was taken aback and hurriedly sent Zheng Guanlan to Luoyang to deal with the matter and find out the cause of Zheng Lianshan's death.

Xingyang Zheng family since the Tang Dynasty is not beautiful, in the five surnames of the seven families can be said to accompany the last seat, in order to gain a place in the court Zheng Guanlan's grandfather Zheng Yuanzhen had five times to foreign lands, only to get the post of general Zuowu, and then died of illness at home, after which the Zheng family no longer held a high position. In recent times, the Zheng family has put resources on Zheng Gao and Zheng Lianshan, and finally achieved something, but Zheng Lianshan hanged himself, and the blow to the Zheng family was not ordinary.

"You all go out first!" Li Rong entered the study and said suddenly.

When Dong Xuanjing heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop Zheng Guanlan and block him out of the door.

"You!" Zheng Guanlan's face changed, he became gloomy, and in an instant, he returned to his original state and stopped.

Dong Xuanjing saw it in his eyes, and thought secretly in his heart, these guys from high-ranking families are all ordinary, this face becomes really fast, he is definitely a yin person, and he can't be provoked.

Li Rongzi didn't care about Zheng Guanlan's thoughts, and went into the study alone.

The study was orderly, chairs, desks, and bookshelves were all in their rightful places, and everything was wiped spotlessly, thinking that the Zheng family had cleaned it afterwards.

Li Rong secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, if the scene remained as it was, the chance of finding out the cause of death would be greater.

In the process of following Di Renjie to investigate the case, Di Renjie deliberately taught Li Rong a lot of things. Li Rong combined some of the things he had seen in his previous life, and he was able to understand it at one point, which made Di Renjie shout Li Rong's genius in this regard.

Li Rong looked around the room and carefully examined them one by one. Are there any traces of people walking next to the window, whether the books on the bookshelf have any signs of flipping, and even Li Rong took out the scrolls placed on the bookshelf and opened them one by one to see the contents inside.

The scroll was placed in a special cloth bag, with a slight amount of dust on it, presumably because the owner had not opened it for a long time.

After a long time, Li Rongcai walked away from the bookshelf and came to the desk.

On the desk, pens, inkstones, paperweights, pen holders and other utensils are neatly placed.

Li Rong picked up the paperweight and put it in front of him, this is a green jade made of Woma paperweight, it looks natural and realistic, the carving is very good, I think it is made by an excellent craftsman, but it is a pity that the lower left corner of the paperweight is missing a piece, it is estimated that it was accidentally dropped on the ground, and the traces are very new. He picked up the inkstone, pen holder and other objects again, and there were some bump marks on them, and the traces were very new.

After looking at all the items, Li Rongfang came to the writing basket, and there were still many broken pieces of paper in it.

"Zheng Gongzi come in, I have something I want to ask." Li Rong said while standing in front of the desk with his hands in his hands.

Zheng Guanlan walked slowly into the house.

"Zheng Gongzi, please call the servants who were present on the day of Zheng Yuanwailang's suicide, I have some questions to ask," Li Rong couldn't help but say.

Zheng Guanlan frowned, didn't make a sound, turned around and went out and ordered the servants outside to go to the courtyard to call people.

After a while, several servants dressed in sackcloth walked in, and hurriedly bowed to Li Rong with a panicked look on their faces.

"These were all there that day." Zheng Guanlan said.

"Raise your head!" Li Rong's gaze swept towards the servants.

Several servants suddenly felt that Li Rong's gaze was like a sharp arrow, and they involuntarily lowered their heads again.

"Hmm", Li Rong nodded slightly, just now he used the trick in the microscopic method, to see that the one among the servants is more determined, and it will be much easier to ask.

"What's your name?" Li Rong asked, pointing to a younger servant on the left.

"Hui Yu, the villain's name is Zheng Lang." The servant looked up and answered.

"Were you present on the day of your master's death?" Li Rong asked.

"The villain was present, and he also took the master's body down from the beam." Zheng Lang said.

"What did you see in the study when you came in? Where is the desk? Where is the chair? Is it dumped, and where is your master hanging again? Li Rong asked one after another.

Zheng Lang told everything he saw that day, his speech was quite fluent, and his speech was somewhat organized, and he explained the situation at that time clearly.

"The desk toppled over, things fell to the ground, and the chair also fell to the ground, Zheng Lianshan hung in this position," Li Rong said silently in his heart, "Zheng Lianshan overturned the desk before hanging himself, and the chair was pushed down, it must have been stimulated by some kind of stimulation." ”

"Zheng Gongzi, have you ever examined Uncle Ling's body, are there any traces of injuries caused by external forces?" Li Rong turned his head to Zheng Guanlan and said.

"No, I carefully examined the body, and found nothing, it should have been hanged." Zheng Guanlan said in a deep voice.

"Stand down, all of you!" Li Rong said to the servants.

As if pardoned, the servants turned and walked briskly out of the study.

"Can I meet with Aunt Ling and ask some questions?" Li Rong said suddenly.

"No way!" Zheng Guanlan listened to the blue veins on his fair face, and he couldn't hide his anger, and said categorically.

Xingyang Zheng is one of the five surnames and seven families, the top wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty, known for its etiquette since ancient times, which will make their housewife interrogated like a prisoner.

"Oh," Li Rong said noncommittally.

Li Rong knew that his request might not be met, but he didn't want to conflict with Zheng Guanlan because of this, his duty was to find out the cause of Zheng Lianshan's death, not to go against the Zheng family.

"Who is the personal servant who follows Zheng Yuanwailang on weekdays?" Li Rong didn't dwell too much on the matter of the Zheng family's housewife, and asked instead.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Zheng Guanlan's face sank.

Zheng Lianshan's personal servant was born as a servant who has been loyal to the Zheng family for generations, has followed Zheng Lianshan for a long time, and plays an important role, just like Di Chun is to Di Renjie, shouldering the responsibility of guarding, serving, and even contacting the Zheng family, knowing many secrets of Zheng Lianshan and the Zheng family.

"No other, I just want to ask something about Zheng Yuanwailang, nothing else." Li Rong said indifferently.

"He is not good at guarding his master, and he has been sent back to his hometown in Xingyang, and he is not in the house at present." Zheng Guanlan's face changed several times, and he thought about it and said.

"What a coincidence!" Li Rong smiled at Zheng Guanlan and said, "What if I still want to see the Zheng family's housewife?" ”

"You dare to threaten me?" Zheng Guanlan was so angry that his hands and feet trembled.

Li Rong's words pierced Zheng Guanlan's arrogant heart, since entering the Zheng Mansion, Zheng Guanlan asked himself if he was quite cooperative with Li Rong's errand, and did not offend Li Rong, why did the other party repeatedly gain inches.

"Can you stop me?" Li Rong said, his body moved, and he slashed at Zheng Guanlan with one palm.

"You", Zheng Guanlan didn't have time to speak, the palm wind had already swept in front of him, and he hurriedly stretched out his palm to strike.

With his palms handed over, Zheng Guanlan, who was in a hurry to fight, suffered a big loss, not to mention that he was not Li Rong's opponent in the first place, so he couldn't help but be hit by the surging palm force, and took a few steps back to stop his figure.

"Whoosh", a whip leg swept through the air and swept straight towards Zheng Guanlan's temple.

Zheng Guanlan's face changed greatly, and he tried his best to gather his true qi, and blocked it with his cross arm.

With a "snap", an irresistible force swept Zheng Guanlan sideways and slammed into the door of the study, and the door instantly turned into pieces.

Zheng Guanlan's body rolled to the ground, and his gorgeous brocade robe drew several cracks, embarrassed.

Dong Xuanjing stood aside and watched dumbfounded, Captain Li was really strong, and suddenly shot and beat the son of the Zheng family to the ground, not ordinary tough, this is the son of the Zheng family in Xingyang, which is admirable.

"Li Gongzi made a move for no reason, what does it mean?" Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside the room.

The voice is distant and powerful, containing a strange true qi.

Zheng Guanlan quickly stood up and looked at Li Rong with a resentful expression.

"Your Excellency is the mother of the Zheng family?" Li Rong said.

Since entering the Zheng Mansion, Li Rong has felt that there is a master by his side, much stronger than Zheng Guanlan, who is an aristocratic person, but he has not shown up. The Zheng family has a long history, and it is not surprising that there is a master in the family, but it is a little annoying that this master has been paying attention to himself, and it is Li Rongcai who brazenly made a move to force him to appear.

"The concubine is the Zheng family," the woman said, "Please go to the side hall to see, the concubine does have something to tell Li Gongzi." ”

Zheng Guanlan snorted, stared at Li Rong, and turned to walk towards the side hall.

Li Rong smiled slightly, did not respond, and followed.

"Put away all the shredded paper in the paper basket in the study, and take it back to me to see," Li Rong secretly instructed Dong Xuanjingdao.
