Chapter 292: Horizontal Death

Princess Beiliao's toothache was finally stopped, and just when the people in the Xiangfu tensed their nerves, beware of this princess of Beiliao taking advantage of her lady's inattention to hook up with Xiangye, they strangely found that this princess of Beiliao seemed to be more interested in their wife.

No, Princess Beiliao went out on the street early in the morning, and the first thing she called when she entered the door was, "Sister Yan, you see what good things Ning'er has brought you." ”

"What did the princess find?" Yan Suwen put down the medical book in his hand and raised his face from the chair.

"A particularly good-looking bracelet, the first time Ning Er saw it, she felt that it was particularly suitable for you, Sister Yan." Princess Beiliao said, took Yan Suwen's hand, and diligently tied the bracelet inlaid with gems to her wrist. "Sister, look at it, isn't it particularly good-looking."

"The princess's gift is too expensive."

Yan Suwen took a closer look, this bracelet is indeed very beautiful, and the handiwork and texture are excellent. Although the gemstones are not the best, they are also the best on the market.

"It's not precious, it's not precious, my sister is a dignified lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she should wear whatever she wants. Don't hide it from my sister, I didn't look down on this thing, although the workmanship is exquisite, but this gem is not the best. When Ke Ning'er first arrived in Yecheng, she didn't know what it was about, and she didn't know where to buy a better one. Sister Yan must not be disgusted, just make do with it first, and when I return to Beiliao, I will let people divide the jewelry I have in my private collection into half of my sister. ”

"I can't do it, I can't help it, I can't help it, how can I ask for your things, princess." Yan Su asked herself and wondered in her heart, wondering why the princess of Beiliao, who was still arrogant before, began to change sex after her toothache was cured, and frequently showed favor to herself. Could it be that she wants to be soft-hearted, and then fulfill the matter between her and her husband?

"Princess, even if I wear the bracelet you gave me, it doesn't mean that I will let you get close to my husband."

"Oh, where did Sister Yan go." Princess Beiliao covered her mouth, and at the same time glared at the boss: "Ning'er gave Sister Yan something because Sister Yan helped Ning'er heal her toothache regardless of her previous suspicions, and Ning'er was grateful, so she went around looking for gifts for you." Ning'er is not stupid, how can this mere bracelet be exchanged for a master. ”

Yan Suwen smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart, "It's good that you know." ”

Here, Yan Su asked what reason to invite this princess of Northern Liao, who was courteous to her for no reason, back to her courtyard. Over there, the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion walked hurriedly. Seeing Yan Su asked, he bowed first and said, "Madam, there was a recent murder in the city, and Lord Xue wants to ask Madame to come over and help take a look." The people from Jingzhao Mansion are already waiting outside, ma'am, look-"

"What murder, you asked?"

"I didn't ask in detail, I said that a guest in the inn had come and went, and he suddenly died last night."

"That's all?"

"Oh, there's more." The housekeeper sighed lightly and continued: "The person who came said that from the scene, this does not look like a murder, and it should be a sudden death. The person who came with the guest was unrelenting, not to say that the people of our Jingzhao Mansion were favoritism and deliberately shielded the murderer. ”

"For no reason, how can you say that the Jingzhao Mansion is shielding the murderer?"

"This-" The housekeeper glanced at the princess of Northern Liao and whispered, "This guest who died is not our Great Wei clan, but from Northern Liao." It is said that the fur dealer entered the city only the day before yesterday, and suddenly died last night. This person suspects that it was our people from Great Wei who plotted against him and deliberately killed him. Because it was related to Northern Liao, Lord Xue of Jingzhao Mansion didn't know how to handle it, so people came to ask Mrs. Lord Xue heard about this...... I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess also lives in our prime minister's mansion, and if the lady comes forward, no matter what the results of the investigation are, she can give the princess and give Beiliao an explanation. ”

"This Lord Xue is a monkey spirit, and he knows how to push things to our prime minister's mansion."

"Then, the people who went back to Jingzhao Mansion from the minions?"

"No need, I'm idle today. I was dizzy when I was confined before, so I just took this opportunity to go out for a walk. ”

"I'll go too, Sister Yan, Ning'er wants to go too." Princess Beiliao grabbed Yan Suwen's arm: "The housekeeper just said, this dead person is from our Beiliao, and with me, the princess of Beiliao, even if the result is not what they want, they don't dare to say anything." Also, I have been on the street these days, but I have heard a lot of things related to Sister Yan, and Ning Er only then knew why Xiangye chose Sister Yan to be the wife of this Xiangfu, Sister Yan is really powerful. In short, Ning'er doesn't care, Ning'er just wants to follow, follow and see how Sister Yan is helping this Jingzhao Mansion to take care of the case. ”

"I'm just a female doctor, and I'm not a female catcher, how can I help Jingzhao Mansion take care of the case. They asked me to go just because they wanted me to help see if there was any mystery on the corpse. This examination of the corpse is not a clean job. Your Royal Highness Princess, are you sure you want to go? ”

"Corpses." Princess Beiliao hesitated slightly, "What's the big deal about the corpse, Ning'er I also saw dead people when I was in Beiliao, and it was the kind of death that was particularly miserable." ”

"It's miserable! How miserable can it be? ”

"Sister Yan doesn't know, there is a kind of criminal law in our Beiliao, which is to strip this person clean and tie it up in a place where vultures and wolves often hang out, and then smear something on this person. What this thing is, Ning Er doesn't know, but what Ning Er knows is that after this thing is painted, it is very easy to attract these vultures and hungry wolves or something, and then that person will be eaten alive, and in the end there will not be even a bone dregs left. Two years ago, Ning'er was stubborn and didn't listen to the queen mother, so the queen mother asked her to take Ning'er to see it. Although they were far away, Ning Er still can't forget that scene and the shouts of that person. ”

"The Empress Dowager of Northern Liao asked the princess to go and see the execution?"

"That's right, the queen mother said, if Ning'er is disobedient in the future, let Ning'er be the same as that prisoner." Princess Beiliao showed some fear in her eyes: "Since I saw that, Ning Er has never spoken to her mother again." At night, I always have nightmares. I had a toothache at that time. ”

"Does Her Royal Highness still have nightmares now?"

"Yes, just not so often. Besides, after doing this nightmare too much, people will get used to it, and when they dream again, they will not be so afraid. Princess Beiliao tried her best to hide her fear: "Sister Yan lives next door to Ning'er, have you heard Ning'er's shouting these days?" Didn't you? This shows that Ning'er is no longer afraid of this nightmare. ”

"I didn't hear the princess shouting, but if the princess couldn't sleep well at night, I could have prescribed a way for her to calm down. It doesn't always work, but it's always a good idea. ”

"Sister Yan, you are so good, Ning'er has decided, and decided that no matter what the queen mother and Brother Wang plan, Ning'er will not compete with Sister Yan anymore."

"It's okay, Her Royal Highness the princess can try to sneak up on it. This was not robbed, it was the princess's fault, and the princess would not be able to explain to the queen mother of Northern Liao in the future. But if you don't grab it, the mistake can't be all on the princess alone. If the Empress Dowager of Northern Liao reprimands her in the future, the princess only needs to reply that Gu Yanqing of Dawei really loves his wife too much, and cares too much about his wife, Her Royal Highness the princess is really out of choice, so she can only choose a few ones, which is okay. ”

"Sister Yan's words, why does it sound a little strange." Princess Beiliao touched her ears, and before she had time to think clearly, she saw Yan Suwen go back to the house and carry a small medicine box, and walked towards the gate of the small courtyard with a maid with some eyes. "Sister Yan, Sister Yan, you wait for me, Ning'er will go too."

This inn is very close to Xiangfu, and it only takes a while for people to arrive at the scene.

The scene of the murder is located in the inn's Tianzi No. 2 room, which is a two-bedroom apartment. The outer room is for entertaining, and the inner room is for resting. The deceased was male, about twenty-five years old, with a thin body, but he was a little different from those Northern Liao men who were five big and three thick in his impression. In the deceased's room, there are indeed some fur products for sale, but they are of average quality and do not belong to the kind that are particularly attractive. There are a lot of fur products of this quality, which are sold from thousands of miles from Northern Liao to the capital of Great Wei, which seems that this businessman is a little brainless. But the price of this two-bedroom room is not low, where did the businessman's money come from?

The report was made by the merchant's companion, who was also a merchant who sold leather goods, and the goods in his hand were obviously much better than those of the deceased, and according to the clues provided by the innkeeper, this companion was a familiar face, and he would come to Yecheng every winter to sell goods, and the deceased was a face, and it was the first time he saw him.

Yan Su asked them when they arrived at the scene, and found that there were no strict protective measures at the scene, in addition to the two Jingzhao Mansion catchers who were sitting at the door at random, there were also many onlookers who settled in the inn at the scene, and people who heard that there had been a murder and deliberately ran to the inn to watch the excitement.

"Are you a friend of the deceased?" Yan Su asked the informant: "Your name is Xiao Pu." ”

"Madame isβ€”"

"This is Mrs. Gu, who was invited by our master to help. Don't ask much about this, but if you feel that this man has died unjustly, just tell your wife. Or, whatever the lady asks, you answer truthfully. ”

"Mrs. Gu, the youngest one is Xiao Pu, and the person who died is named Ada, and he is Xiao Pu's friend."

"Friends? Is it a good kind? Yan Suwen carefully looked at the clothes of these two people. Although the deceased was also dressed as a fur merchant, the color of his skin obviously did not look like this kind of perennial road.

"No, it's not very good, it's just a normal friend. Ada was met by Xiao Pu on the way to Yecheng, we are all from Northern Liao, and we are both engaged in the leather business. Xiao Pu said, and added: "Although I met on the road, Ada is a very good person, and he is also very good to Xiao Pu, and he takes care of him very much." ”
