"Why didn't the eldest lady stop her?" Lingyu looked at Su Luoxue's back running to the front hall, and wanted to rush up to arrest the person back, but Su Ruochu grabbed her wrist, "Eh, my eldest miss, the second miss must be scared and ran to the master to complain!" ”

"Let her go, I'm afraid of being scared, and she won't dare to go." Su Ruochu was busy running around the northeast and west all morning, and only after hearing about this thing did he realize that he was hungry, "Is there still porridge in the morning?" Get me some. ”

"Miss!" Lingyu stood anxiously and stomped her feet, her round apricot eyes were full of words of hatred of iron and steel.

Su Ruochu smiled and pushed her, "Don't worry, your young lady has a plan in her heart, go and get me porridge." ”

I thought that after drinking the porridge, she sent someone to call Su Qingxue over, but she still had to make some things clear to her, but before she could drink a bowl of porridge, someone came from the back door to pass the word.

It was Li Wuhang who came!

This is the first time that Su Ruochu has received his boss in his courtyard in a gorgeous dress, and the two are a little uncomfortable when they meet.

Li Wuhang didn't know whether to treat her as a subordinate or to give her a salute, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to think about it.

"Change your clothes and come with me."

"What's wrong?"

"Less nonsense, go quickly." Li Wuhang raised his leg and wanted to kick her like before, but today he was embarrassed to fall on his foot, so he only pushed it anxiously, "If it weren't for the emergency, I wouldn't have come to the door in person, hurry up, ancestor, human life is at stake!" ”

Su Ruochu didn't have time to explain to Fuzhong, hurriedly turned out a men's clothes, changed into them, got on the horse, and followed the leader straight to the west of the city.

On the way, I heard him briefly talk about the case, saying that a female corpse was found in the suburbs of the western part of the city, her clothes were torn and torn, and there were traces of being slighted.

This woman is a textile woman outside the west of the city, who specially delivers embroidery to an official's mansion in the west of the city, and this morning her husband went to the yamen to report the case and sue the official's family.

"Early this morning, there was a crowd at the gate of the west yamen of the city."

"A textile girl is so big?"

The court officials involved in the case, or a life lawsuit, should have been suppressed a long time ago, how did it become known to everyone?

"The woman is not big, but the big one is the official involved in the case." Li Wuhang's voice unconsciously lowered a few points when he said this, "Zheng Sipin, the criminal department, you and I may not be able to sit in that position after twenty years of work." ”

"The Yamen in the west of the city didn't dare to take people, but the case was in trouble, and I didn't dare not accept it, no, I went to the book early in the morning to ask for a play, and someone was sent from above to let us assist, and the person who spoke will arrive, and you will be clever in a while."

Su Ruochu was up and down along the way, how wrong she thought about this matter, and always felt that there were many things involved in this that she didn't know.

However, she is a fast arrester, only responsible for investigating the case, whether it is corruption or reckless human life behind this is handed over to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for trial, which has little to do with her.

The two arrived at the yamen while talking, the informant was already in the hall, Li Wuhang took Su Ruochu out of the back door, and went directly into the inner hall.

Su Ruochu saw the corpse in the center at a glance, the woman was covered in mud, wearing a lilac dress, and her figure was slender.

Most of her face was covered with dried blood, but she could vaguely see that her skin was white and beautiful, and it was not difficult to see the traces of her struggle before she walked, one of her shoes fell off, and her nails were full of blood and mud.

"Can you determine the time of death?"

He was waiting for her to ask, and stepped forward and said, "I have checked it carefully, it should be between midnight and midnight last night." ”

Su Ruochu frowned, technology is not good in this era, and you can only calculate the rough time, and the impact is too great.

"What did the informant say?"

"Said that she was picked up by the carriage of the Li Mansion just after noon yesterday, and asked her to draw some patterns to make embroidery, which is usually the case, so her husband didn't care much, but when he saw that people had not returned home at night, he went out to look for it, but he saw a corpse in the mountains."

Su Ruochu glanced in the direction of the hall, and his eyes fell on the man kneeling in the middle, the man was wearing a shroud, dressed in a short beat, and had a beard on his face, and his rugged appearance was very incompatible with this delicate woman.

However, in ancient times, marriage was the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, Xu was that this woman didn't know what kind of man she was going to marry before she got married, so she suppressed the doubts in her heart for the time being, and continued to turn her head to look at the corpse.

"What do you see?" Li Wuhang asked.

Su Ruochu approached the corpse, raised his hand and gently put it on the woman's wrist, and slowly closed his eyes.

Predictably painful ensued, beginning with her left wrist, then her right, then her limbs, as if pressed to the ground by someone much stronger than her, and then ......

There were too many people in the courtyard, and then Su Ruochu felt that it was really not good, so he hurriedly removed it from the woman's hand, and when he opened his eyes, the sky spun suddenly, and his steps shook vaguely.

She instinctively stretched out her hand to hold something, she thought that the head would catch her, and she did fall into a warm and strong embrace, and a cold woody fragrance came - this person is not Li Wuhang!

"See His Royal Highness King Ming."

Su Ruochu stared at Li Wuhang who was kneeling on the ground, and realized whose hand was on her waist, and hurriedly dodged and bounced out, "Your Highness." ”

Lu Yerin quietly turned his hand behind his back, rubbed the temperature of his fingertips with a very retrospective taste, and said: "Get up, this king is a messenger sent by the saint, and if you want to do things with you in the future, these false gifts will be waived." ”

"Yes." The people stood up and answered.

The case involves important members of the Criminal Department, and they can't be suppressed without the royal family, and they will follow King Ming in the future, and it will be at least much more convenient to collect evidence and interrogate, except for Su Ruochu, everyone thinks so.

She hasn't gone to that dream yesterday, and she hasn't forgotten what happened to King Ming in her room last night, and now they have such an ambiguous attitude, she is really a little uncomfortable.

"What do you want, work!" Li Wuhang ignored the faint flush on Su Ruochu's cheeks, raised his hand and slapped her on the back of the head.

Su Ruochu came back to her senses, raised her eyes and saw King Ming standing opposite and staring at her without blinking, and hurriedly avoided her gaze in fright, staring at the corpse, as if she wanted to stare at the woman out of a flower.

The group went to the scene of the crime to investigate, and King Ming was sitting in the yamen, and the people from the Li Mansion came to question.

"When do you say that the dead can't die, just in time for the approaching of Halloween." Li Wuhang complained as he walked, "The prince said that the emperor ordered us to solve the case before the Birthday Festival, and because of this incident, the entire criminal department was in chaos, and Lord Li was also temporarily taken off his crown." ”

"Chief, the deceased is the greatest, be careful when you speak." Su Ruochu reminded half-jokingly.

"If the dead are dead, can they be bigger than the living?" Li Wuhang squatted on the ground to check the footprints, "I came to you in a hurry, but don't you see any doorway?" ”
