Chapter 235: The Porridge Shed (2)
It's just that the porridge shack was occupied by two neighbors, and there are even more staggering.
It turned out that the beggar who was strangled to death yesterday died outside the porridge shed of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, which was the place where he fell, which happened to be the intersection of the two porridge sheds of the Eldest Princess's Mansion and the Yongguo Mansion, and his head was still on the side of the Yongguo Mansion.
Shen Xiao was listening to the steward's report on yesterday's events, and saw a sedan chair parked opposite the porridge shed in the eldest princess's mansion, and the little maid standing outside the sedan chair was Xiao Ai.
Xiao Ai is here, so there is no need to guess who is sitting in the sedan chair.
I don't know what kind of wind Miss Hua drew today, and she didn't take her wide and gorgeous carriage.
Moreover, this green cloth sedan chair is the kind that can be seen everywhere on the street, and it is not used by large families.
Shen Xiao frowned, pretended not to see it, and turned around and entered his porridge shed.
But the porridge shed was too small, and it was full of rice bags, so that the air would not circulate, and it would be nothing for others, but Shen Xiao covered his nose and had to come out of the porridge shed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he bumped into Yin Zhu's head head-on.
"Fourth Master Shen, it turns out that you are also here, great, great."
Through the joy on Yin Zhutou's face, Shen Xiao smelled the smell of danger.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xiao asked.
"That's the case, the beggar who died outside the porridge shed in your mansion yesterday has already come out, not because he drank porridge to die." Yin Zhutou said.
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Shen Xiao's brows were twisted together, and he said in a cold voice: "You said that the beggar died outside my porridge shed?" Why did I hear all I heard before this was that the beggar died outside the porridge shed in the eldest princess's mansion? ”
Yin Zhutou was a little embarrassed, and said: "When this case was first reported to the Yamen, all the witnesses who witnessed it were said that they were killed, and since that person was drinking porridge in the porridge shed of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, he was counted as dying outside the porridge shed of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. However, after Luo Cheng conducted an autopsy, it was found that the beggar was injured in the front and drank porridge in the back, and it was not the porridge that killed him, but his internal injuries. According to the location of the porridge shed demarcated by Shuntianfu, the place where the beggar fell happened to be the location of the porridge shed in Guifu, which was used by Guifu, and there was an archive in Shuntianfu, which has not changed for more than ten years. ”
Shen Xiao snorted, he was killed before, that was related to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, but now it has become injured and died, and the case will be decided according to the place where he fell, you are bullying.
This place is indeed used by the Yongguo Mansion, but anyone who is not blind can see how the Eldest Princess's Mansion grabs land.
When there was no murder, you rushed to use this place, and if there was a murder, this place became mine?
Yin Zhutou observed his words and feelings, and had a premonition that the biggest snowstorm of this winter was coming, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Actually, where the deceased died is a trivial matter, because the corpse is clearly written, the deceased has been injured for more than two days, and the porridge shed of the Yongguo Mansion has not been erected two days ago, which definitely has nothing to do with your mansion." ”
It doesn't matter if you still have to count the place where the crime occurred to our house?
Shen Xiao asked, "Did Yin Zhutou come over today to investigate the case?" ”
Yin Zhutou said: "Don't hide it from Shen Sigongzi, this case has been clarified, but the person who committed the crime has not been caught for a while, let's come here to take a look." ”
Now that it has been ascertained, Shen Xiao is too lazy to ask, last time he was ordered by the emperor to assist the eldest prince in handling the case, but this time without the holy decree, he could not participate.
Shen Xiao bowed his head and said to Yin Zhutou: "That's hard Yin Zhutou." ”
After speaking, Shen Xiao wanted to leave, he came over today, just to see how to make porridge, now that he has finished reading, it is time to go back.
"Fourth Prince Shen, please stay." Behind him, there was the voice of Yin Catching the head.
Shen Xiao turned his head and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Yin Zhutou was a little embarrassed and said, "I heard that Shen Sigongzi knows Zhu Lu? If so, can you tell Zhu Lu's whereabouts? ”
Shen Xiao's brows moved slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Zhu Lu? Who is Julu? ”
"Zhu Lu is a water bandit who intercepted an official ship on the canal, and the Criminal Department issued an official document for arresting him at sea early in the morning, but he has not been brought to justice so far. At present, this case is also related to Zhu Lu after investigation, and he is the suspect in this case. ”
"I see, but it's a pity that I don't know this person." Shen Xiao categorically denied it, he had vaguely guessed something.
Hua Jingyao also mentioned Zhu Lu to him, not only mentioned, but also besieged him, Zhu Lu moved several times in a row, and he still doesn't dare to show up in front of people.
Sure enough, Yin Zhutou casually glanced at the other side, his face was unconcealed disappointment, he arched his hand to Shen Xiao, and said: "It turns out that the fourth prince doesn't know each other, that's our presumptuous, and I ask the fourth prince to forgive me." ”
"Hmm." Shen Xiao's face couldn't see joy and anger, he bowed his head slightly, and walked away.
Back at the Yongguo Mansion, Spinach quietly told him that Zhu Lu was here, as if he was injured, and was being treated by Yue Li.
Yue Li lives in Diancang Courtyard. Diancang Courtyard is the most remote courtyard in the entire Guogong Mansion, before that, it has been vacant for many years, the reason why Yue Li chose to live here is because it is far away from everywhere, even if there is wind, it will not send his dry smoke smell to Shen Xiao's nose.
This is a valuable experience summed up in the past ten years, and if you can't afford to provoke it, you can hide!
Yue Li and Shen Xiao have lived together for sixteen years, from the day Shen Xiao can speak, he has a deep hatred for Yue Li's smoking, Shen Xiao was a child, the toxins in the body were not completely removed, the body was weak porridge, once Yue Li's smoke was so smoked that he vomited, and then fainted, since then, Yue Li knew that he had a big deal, Shen Xiao was his nemesis, he couldn't be provoked, he couldn't be provoked.
Now followed Shen Xiao to the Guogong Mansion, under the eaves of other people, he couldn't do it without bowing his head, Yue Li simply lived in the courtyard where this bird didn't, just to be able to smoke a few mouthfuls freely.
Hearing that Zhu Lu was in Diancang Courtyard, Shen Xiao looked for him without saying a word with a calm face.
Stepping into the door, he saw Zhu Lu shirtless, and Yue Li was treating his wounds with a disgusted expression.
Seeing Shen Xiao get up, Zhu Lu was busy getting up, but was pressed down by Yue Li again.
Shen Xiao sat opposite Zhu Lu and got straight to the point: "You did the person who died in the porridge shed?" ”
"Porridge shed? What porridge shed? As soon as he moved, the wound on his back was pulled again, Zhu Lu gasped in pain, and asked in a snort, "I didn't do it." ”
"And what about your injuries?" Shen Xiao asked.
Zhu Lu hissed, grinning at half of the corners of his mouth, fine beads of sweat oozing from his head, and peeking at Shen Sigongzi, but he didn't see any pity on Shen Sigongzi's face.
The bitter meat meter is useless.
