Chapter 16: The Murderer Has Been Caught

The officers and soldiers hurriedly laughed and said: "Gu Gongzi, the little one didn't know that this little brother was your entourage, so he was offended!" ”

Zhen Bei said gently: "It's just a misunderstanding, it's okay." ”

The yam on the side was unwilling, glanced at the officers and soldiers, and said to the son: "Childe, the old lady and the second lady have arranged a banquet, and they are waiting for you to go back and start the banquet!" The old lady was very happy to learn that your illness had been cured, if it weren't for the lady pulling, she would have been appointed to pick you up with the little one! Even the eldest lady has asked you several times, looking forward to you! ”

Zhenbei had a headache, and now he couldn't spare any extra energy, so he went to deal with the women of the ancient mansion: "Go back and tell Madame that I am determined to live in the temple to investigate the case these days, and I won't go back first!" ”

If you can't bring your son back, it's strange that Mrs. pulled his ears off!

Yam felt as if his ears were hurting, and he hurriedly said, "Son, if you don't go home, the old lady and the second lady will definitely come overnight and carry you back!" ”

With the character of the ancient ladies in memory, this kind of thing must be done.

Zhen Bei had an idea, he walked into the wing room quickly, wrote two lines of words with a pen, dried the ink and folded it, handed it to the yam, and said: "Secretly give this letter to the second lady, she will definitely try to stop the old lady and the eldest lady!" ”

Yam carefully took the letter into his arms, and said with a sad face: "But ......"

Zhen Bei saw through his thoughts, and couldn't help but smile lightly: "Don't worry, as long as Madam reads the letter, she will naturally not punish you again!" ”

Yam said happily: "Okay! The little one went back to his life. ”

Zhen Bei waved her hand: "Go!" ”

Yam had just run two steps, and then turned around and shouted, "Childe, you don't have to worry, Peony has returned home, and Madame will definitely send her over to serve you soon!" ”

Hearing this, Zhen Bei's mind saw the shadow of a petite little girl with two big smart eyes.

He smiled faintly and turned back to the chamber.

After the dinner brought by the monk, Zhenbei sorted out the doubts that had been discovered, and fell into deep thought.

Paper beauty, ink bamboo, transparent silk thread......

He already had some vague outlines of this case, but what was the relationship between that person and Master Wushan? What is the modus operandi and motive?

The next day, Zhenbei came to the room where Master Wushan lived.

The monks cultivate their minds and seek enlightenment, and they are not greedy for pleasure, and there is nothing else in their room except a soft couch, a desk and chair.

On the desk, there is a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and a stack of paper for copying scriptures, and on the wall above the desk hangs a hand-painted picture of Guanyin thorns.

Zhenbei opened the Buddhist scriptures and transcribed them for a while, but found nothing unusual.

Coming out of Master Wushan's room, Zhenbei walked slowly while pondering the case.

"Gu Gongzi!" Someone shouted.

Zhenbei looked up and saw Zhong Yanyan standing under the willow tree next to the path in a white dress.

It was in the opposite direction to the courtyard where she lived, and it was far away.

Zhen Bei was surprised: "Miss Zhong, why are you here?" ”

Zhong Yanyan's face turned red, and she said: "The slave family has been to the son's room, and I heard that the official sent the eldest brother that you came here, so I came over to take a look." ”

Zhen Bei smiled slightly and said, "Miss Zhong is here on purpose, waiting for the next place!" ”

Zhong Yanyan nodded shyly and said, "The slave family is a nurse and has come to apologize to the son." The nurse and the mother are called master and servant, and they are really sisters, and the relationship is very good and deep. The first two days were my mother's death day, and we were going to rush back to worship, but because of Master Wushan's matter, it was delayed, so she was upset and angry with the official and son! ”

Zhen Bei suddenly realized: "So that's the case, but it's affecting you!" ”

Zhong Yanyan hurriedly said, "Childe, don't say that. You don't blame the slave family and the wet nurse for the previous faux pas, the slave family is grateful! ”

By the end, her voice lowered.

Zhen Bei saw the shyness in her eyes, and she was horrified, this is the look that a young girl in Huaichun will only have when she looks at her lover.

"Well, there are still some things to deal with next, so I'll take my leave first! Miss Zhong, you should go back early! After Zhenbei said this, she walked away quickly.

Zhong Yanyan looked at his distant back in a daze, for a long time, sighed, and walked back slowly.

"Gu Gongzi, let's stay!"

Zhen Bei left the monk's house when he heard someone shouting to stop him.

When he looked for prestige, he saw Jia Rutian carrying a kettle, standing on the side of the road and looking at him with a smile.

"Boss Jia! What are you? Zhen Bei said.

Jia Rutian took a few steps forward: "The little one has nothing to do to wander around, and by the way, go to the kitchen and bring some hot water back!" ”

Zhen Bei thought of the words of the servant, and said tentatively: "Boss Jia is out of the house, is it possible that he didn't bring his subordinates by his side to serve and run errands and take care of chores?" ”

Jia Rutian's face stiffened with a smile and said, "The little one has someone to bring people." ”

Zhen Bei feigned surprise and said, "Oh? If so, why is he nowhere to be seen? ”

Jia Rutian's complexion changed slightly, and his eyes flickered: "It was the little one who sent him to help run errands." ”

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Zhen Bei's suspicions were even heavier, and he smiled seemingly casually: "Oh? Boss Jia also has business dealings here! ”

Jia Rutian smiled reluctantly: "It's just a small business." ”

While the two were talking, several menacing officers and soldiers ran in the distance.

One person pointed at Jia Rutian and said, "It's him!" ”

The officer and soldier at the head shouted: "Take it!" ”

Jia Rutian hurriedly said, "Big brothers, what are you doing?" ”

The man snorted coldly: "Jia Rutian is still pretending!" Your servant, Wang Shun, has confessed to the murder of Master Wushan at your behest. ”

Jia Shangshang shouted repeatedly: "My lord, you are wronged! Gu Gongzi, the little one is wronged! ”

The officers and soldiers put the shackles on his head and shouted and pushed them out the door.

Zhen Bei stopped an officer and soldier and asked, "What happened?" ”

The officers and soldiers said: "We are acting on orders, but I heard from everyone that Miss Gu has solved the case, and the murderer of Master Wushan has been caught." But the little ones don't know what's going on! ”

Zhen Bei arched her hand and said, "Thank you!" ”

Is Jia Shang the culprit?

The mystery in Zhen Bei's heart did not decrease but increased, he thought for a while, and hurried to the front hall.

When he arrived, the room where the case was investigated was already full of people.

Merchant Jia and a man dressed in gray knelt in the middle of the room.

On the Taishi chair next to the desk opposite them, sat an old man with gray hair in a vermilion brocade robe, his eyes were bright, his expression was serious, and his whole body exuded the momentum of a superior who was not angry and arrogant.

Zhen Bei searched in her mind for a long time, and the original owner should not have seen this person before the hairstyle, at least she didn't have any impression of him.

He Zhaoyuan and Cheap Daddy Guchang also came, sitting on the left and right sides of the person respectively, and an official in an official robe and an official hat stood next to them.
