Chapter 14: The Murder of Shangshu Mansion

Next.

Wang Quanlin called a few people early in the morning, glanced around, and then put down the teacup, "There was an accident in Shangshu Mansion last night, do you know?" ”

"Huh? Shangshu Mansion? What's wrong? Xia Yuyu looked stunned, it wouldn't be so coincidental to deal with someone in Shangshu Mansion last night, right?

"What happened to Master Gu's family?" Gangneung couldn't wait to ask.

"Someone saw Mrs. Gu's body outside the city this morning, and she died."

"Huh?" Several people sighed.

This Gu Nanyuan didn't look big, but he didn't expect to have a family.

Xia Yuyu couldn't help but feel sorry for this young lady, "Then where is her body?" ”

"Naturally, it's in Shangshu Mansion, where else can it be?"

Xia Yuyu, who was glared at by Wang Quanlin, hurriedly responded with an "oh", and said continuously: What the godfather said, what he said! ”

"You guys pack up and go and find out the matter as soon as possible, so that I can have an explanation to the emperor's monk Shangshu."

"Yes!" Su Mu immediately received the order, turned around and went to pack his things.

Wang Quanlin saw Xia Yuyu stunned in place, and reprimanded: "Don't go quickly!" ”

"Godfather, I'm not from Jinyiwei, why do you want me to go!" Xia Yuyu was a hundred unwilling in his heart.

"It's because you're not, so you have to watch and learn more, so that you can use it for the court in the future!"

"Godfather, I don't want to be an official in the court, I think it's good like this."

"Slap" Wang Quanlin slapped on the table, "You let you eat and wait for death when I save me?" ”

"Isn't it?" Xia Yuyu didn't dare to say it out loud, but moved her lips slightly.

I didn't want to, but Wang Quanlin heard it, and my lungs were about to explode, "Since you think so, then the old man doesn't have to keep you alive!" ”

After saying that, Wang Quanlin's clenched palm qi gathered, and he turned his wrist, seeing that his palm was about to fall on Mu Yun's head.

Xia Yuyu immediately covered his head and shouted at the moment of life and death: "I'll go, godfather, I'll go!" ”

Wang Quanlin's palm stopped, less than five centimeters away from the top of his head.

Wang Quanlin withdrew his hand and said angrily: "Then don't go quickly." ”

Xia Yuyu can be said to have run out with a roll, and ran to the gate to wait for Su Mu and a few people without bringing anything.

Shangshu Mansion and the Governor's Mansion are not far away, and Lord Shangshu is a big official, and there are many guards at home, so there is no need to bring guards anymore.

Moreover, there is also a respected old lady in their family.

It is said that this old lady is the sister of the current Queen Mother, and she also led soldiers when she was young, and she made great achievements.

"Mu Yun, are you going too?" Song Zirui also thought that Mu Yun was stimulated by the last time and was unwilling to handle the case with them.

I didn't expect him to be so positive, which is really surprising.

Xia Yuyu nodded a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Who let me only follow you to survive." ”

"What are you talking about? Someone is trying to harm you? Or have you offended someone? ”

"Who can I offend, just talk about it."

At this time, Su Mu also took Jiangling to the door, Su Mu glanced at Mu Yun and said two words, "Let's go"

As soon as a few people went out, they heard Yuanshuang leading the maids one by one, waving their hands and shouting after them, "Wait, you wait for me!" ”

Su Mu froze in disgust and put on a stinky face.

It is said that women chase men in the compartment yarn, I think Princess Yuanshuang has encountered an "iron sand net"!

Xia Yuyu and the others also put on a look of waiting to see a good show.

"Please go back, princess!" Su Mu didn't even give Yuan Shuang a chance to breathe, and directly threw out an ice cube face.

"Princess Ben can go wherever she wants, you can't care!"

Yuan Shuang paid attention to how stinky his face was, stuck out his tongue at him "slightly", and ordered: "Let's go one by one." ”

"Princess, where are you going?" Gangneung, the big licking dog, Baba leaned over to her and asked.

Yuan Shuang raised her chin proudly, "Naturally, Shangshu Mansion is visiting my aunt and grandmother." ”

"Oh, that's too coincidental, we're going to ...... too" Jiang Ling paused, and deliberately said sadly in order to cater to Yuan Shuang: "But we're going to handle the case." ”

"I know, isn't it just that Gu Yang's is dead!"

"Princess, aren't you sad?"

"Sad? Why should I be sad? My cousin already liked this Gu Yang, but she had to marry because she added face. Besides, that Gu Yang's is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

"Please also ask the princess to be cautious, the dead are the greatest." Su Mu reminded.

Yuan Shuang snorted coldly unconvinced, walked quickly in front of a few people, and no longer cared about a few people.

It's just the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the fallen leaves of Shengjing have already covered the streets.

After a gentle breeze, the dead leaves fall one after another, flying with the wind and drifting all over the sky.

The Great Shun Dynasty was located in the north of the Central Plains, with a temperate monsoon climate, warm and rainy summer, and cold and dry winter.

This is similar to Xia Yuyu's hometown in the 21st century.

"Fortunately, it's colder now, and the dead probably won't stink!" Xia Yuyu secretly rejoiced.

However, this winter is coming, will those without heating and air conditioning freeze to death?

At the moment, she regretted that her mathematics, physics and chemistry were not good enough to invent heating in this backward era.

Outside Shangshu's Mansion, a man dressed in a servant's costume, looking left and right at the boss with his eyes glaring, hurriedly greeted him when he saw the figures of several people.

"The little one met the princess, and met the commander, deputy envoy Jiang, and deputy envoy Song." Then he stopped his gaze on Mu Yun, and asked with some embarrassment: "Who is this ......?"

"Mu Yun." Su Mu Dao.

The servant looked surprised, "This is Miss Mu, it's a little faux pas, it's rude." ”

"Ahem...... Anyway. Seeing him bow his head like this, Xia Yuyu was a little embarrassed.

"The master has been waiting for a few people for more than a few hours, and please come in with me."

Follow the servant to the east, through a long corridor, and then reach the south hall.

A man in his early forties, sitting on a chair on the side of the mourning hall, was so strong that he couldn't tell that there was a funeral at home.

But the woman sitting beside him, dressed in plain clothes, with kind eyebrows, sobbed a few times from time to time, and wiped away tears with the handkerchief in her hand sadly.

"Subordinate Su Mu to meet Master Gu!"

"Subordinate Jiangling, Song Zirui, Mu Yun to meet Master Gu!"

Gu Qilin raised his eyes and looked at a few people, and found Yuan Shuang behind a few people, and immediately got up and bowed, "Your Royal Highness Princess, why are you here too?" ”

"Alas" Yuan Shuang hurriedly raised his hand, "Little uncle, this is not a palace, so it doesn't have to be like this." ”

"Princess, your cousin-in-law, she ......" Mrs. Gu rushed to Yuan Shuang with a smoke.

He took her hand, picked up the handkerchief, and began to howl.

Gu Qilin glared at her fiercely, dragged her from the princess to behind him, and reprimanded: "Don't be rude in front of the princess." ”

"Uncle doesn't have to reprimand aunt, after all, my cousin and sister-in-law left too suddenly, I can understand it"

Several people couldn't believe that this was Yuan Shuang's way of life.

Xia Yuyu pinched her arm even harder, and she screamed out in pain.

The Dashun royal family is the most taboo for others to dye their clothes with tears, once the clothes are dyed, the light ones are unlucky, and the heavy ones affect the national fortunes.

If you want to get rid of it, you have to eat a hundred meals to disperse this bad luck.

"What are you still doing in a daze, don't you investigate the case quickly!" In the next second, Yuan Shuang resumed her domineering again, and commanded a few people with a sharp voice.

Although Su Mu didn't respond this time, he walked to the coffin according to her command.

In order to wait for Su Mu and a few people, the corpse was already purple, and the coffin had not yet been covered, looking strange.

Xia Yuyu glanced at her guts, and immediately retracted in horror, her heart tumbling.

It wasn't a peculiar smell, but the deceased's head looked much more swollen than ordinary people, and the purple skin was like a steamed eggplant, soft and collapsed......

"Yo, what's wrong with you? The face is so ugly? Yuan Shuang asked knowingly, wanting to take the opportunity to embarrass her.

"Do you want to see for yourself?" Xia Yuyu replied.

Yuan Shuang instantly lost her confidence, "This princess will incense her cousin-in-law, I don't need you to remind her!" ”

She bit her lip with an anxious and annoyed expression.

After a while, Su Mu led Song Zirui and Jiang Ling, and said: "Lord Hui, according to my observation, the young lady should have been hit to death in the back of the head, and there were no external injuries on her body, and there was no trace of resistance......

"You just know that, I just want to know who the murderer is!" Gu Qilin waved his hand.

It seems that he doesn't like this daughter-in-law very much, and he doesn't care about her at all!

Xia Yuyu glanced at Mrs. Gu, who was crying, and then looked at Gu Qilin, who was extremely plain, and muttered in her heart, "Could it be that the relationship between the father-in-law and daughter-in-law is not harmonious?" ”

"I don't change it, and she's not the wife I'm marrying, why do you want me to change my clothes!"

Gu Nanyuan shook his arms impatiently.

Several servants with filial piety kept handing them in front of him.

Gu Nanyuan had just stepped into the mourning hall, and when he saw Su Mu and a few people, his eyes stayed for a few seconds, and he let out a cold "heh", and asked arrogantly: "Who asked you to come?" ”

Xia Yuyu pursed her lips and waited for Su Mu to speak.

After all, this is someone else's territory, and Shangshu is a big official, she doesn't want to be confronted with him, and she also says that she can't be just!

She glanced at Su Mu deeply, and Su Mu immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Gu Gongzi, please mourn." ”

"Condolences?" Gu Nanyuan smiled and threw the filial piety in the servant's hand to the ground, and said angrily with disdain: "I mourn that door, she is not the wife I am marrying, and it is good to be dead, so it is annoying to watch!" ”

My mother's hot fake! People are dead, is this talking about human beings?

Xia Yuyu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

I thought that Gu Nanyuan was a simple and arrogant second-generation official and a rich second-generation, but I didn't expect it to be so wolf-hearted and femme fatale-hearted!

Just as she was about to open her mouth to teach a lesson, there was a "snap".

The whole hall was quiet for a while, and Gu Qilin slapped Gu Nanyuan in the face.

Gu Nanyuan tilted his head, his hot face seemed to be burned by fire, and the whole person froze in place.

It can be seen that Gu Qilin should be the first time to beat his son, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he looked at Gu Nanyuan with regret.

"Well played! This kind of person should be beaten well! Xia Yuyu couldn't stop clapping in her heart.

"Who told you to hit him!" There was a trembling scolding at the door.

"Mother, why are you here?" Gu Qilin's body was stunned.

Since ancient times, not to mention the patriarchal ancient times, this slap is like a slap on the heart of the old lady.

"Baby, are you alright?" The old lady held the crutches and walked in front of Gu Nanyuan with three trembling steps and two steps.

This "baby" almost didn't make Xia Yuyu suffocate internal injuries.

The old lady stroked Gu Nanyuan's reddened half of her face distressedly, "It's all red, ouch, it must be very painful, why is it so heavy." ”

The more the old lady looked, the more angry she became, the more anxious she became, and she couldn't help but beat the crutches in her hand with a "gurgling" sound.
