Chapter 53: Aggressive
"Impossible? How do you know? Jiang Lan looked at Qin Shu, it stands to reason that this thing can't happen, even if it happens, how could Qin Shu know so quickly?
"The lower official was stopped into Xue's house, and then he saw that the deceased Xue Dafu was covered with injuries, and the servant next to him was also covering his injuries and crying that it was the prince of the world that you killed Xue Dafu, and Xue Dafu was no longer a slave It was said by the concubine who was waiting for him."
"Concubine?"
Jiang Lan straightened the chain on his hand, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was a little heavy. After all, this body is the body of a young lady, and such a heavy shackle is really embarrassing.
"Huh?" Qin Shu looked at Jiang Lan, "What's wrong?" β
Jiang Lan smiled lightly, but raised the shackles on his hands, "Is this thing a little lighter?" β
Looking at Jiang Lan twisting his arms and shrugging his shoulders, he looked very uncomfortable, "This thing is really heavy, the big one weighs dozens of catties, there are no outsiders here, why don't you let your subordinates take it off for the prince, how about it?" β
Jiang Lan nodded, and smiled, "It won't make it difficult for Lord Qin, why don't you change it to a rope and tie it?" β
Qin Shu nodded, and hurriedly ordered the people below to untie the shackles and replace them with strong knots, but he didn't let anyone hold him, giving him enough face.
Jiang Lan, who was relaxed, looked at Qin Shu, "My lord just said 'little concubine', why don't we continue to talk?" β
Looking at Jiang Lan, the prince who was not nervous, Qin Shu was a lot more relieved. Jiang Shizi knows it in his own heart, but it is not difficult for himself to find an excuse for himself to excuse this popular son.
"Lord Shizi, please!"
Following Qin Shu's guidance, Jiang Lan finally saw where Xue Dafu lived.
Not far from the villa, it is built by the mountains and rivers, the courtyard of the front and back four entrances, with good materials of blue bricks and red tiles, it seems that there has been a lot of silver poured from the villa over the years, which is only visible on the surface.
"Your Excellency, you were stopped here when you came?"
Qin Shu nodded, "That's true." β
"Excuse me, who intercepted it?"
"I think it's Xue Dafu's little guy."
"Oh," Jiang Lan nodded, and followed to the inner courtyard.
Xue Dafu's bedroom was quickly surrounded by arrests, and no one in the house was let out.
"Shizi, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Shu looked at Jiang Lan, who had a bad face and looked up at Jiang Lan who was stunned in the air, and said with concern.
"Nothing." Jiang Lan lowered her eyes.
"Then the prince is here, please."
"Hmm."
Before Jiang Lan left, he glanced at the purple-black blood mist gathered in the southwest corner again, it was so thick that there must be a demon breeding.
Secretly doubting the doubts in her heart, Jiang Lan followed behind Qin Shu.
Stepping over the threshold, he saw that Xue Dafu was indeed dead on the bed, and the scars on his body were shocking, and Jiang Lan knew at a glance that this was his own doing.
And next to Xue Dafu, there is indeed a young woman who is not more than twenty years old, wearing light clothes and silk yarn, not like the daughter of a serious family.
The fat powder on her face was heavy, and when Jiang Lan looked at her, she immediately lowered her head, and never raised her gaze again.
Jiang Lan swept over the woman's body, and there were obvious scars on the exposed arms of her clothes, which looked like whip marks.
There was an inquest of the body, and Jiang Lan stood next to him and looked at it a few times.
A thin mark on the corpse's neck caught Jiang Lan's attention, "May I ask what this is?" β
He is an old man, with a skinny appearance and lower cheekbones, which is really scary for others to look at.
Looking at the rope tied to Jiang Lan's body, he first rolled his eyes impatiently, and then explained.
"It was a sun-kissed mark that showed what the deceased was wearing on his front and neck."
"What's that?" Although her hands were tied, Jiang Lan still actively jumped inside.
He glanced blankly, "The old man is only responsible for inquest of the autopsy, and these things are not in my charge." β
Jiang Lan, who touched a gray nose, was not discouraged, and he was not out of the hospital since his own home, and he could not get out of the grandfather of the country, who may have a deep hatred with the original body, the third uncle who was addicted to casinos, and the little sister who had not yet reached the end of the year, and he had to rely on himself if he wanted to get rid of this prison disaster.
I don't know where the dead fox went. Isn't it just asking a question last day, and it hasn't come down for more than a month.
Don't you really give up this task and leave yourself to fend for yourself?
If so, don't let yourself be caught in the future, or ......
Hum!
"The prince will rest in this prison for the time being, and if there is any request, just give orders to the cell leader." Qin Shu untied the rope from Jiang Lan's hand, and also instructed the cell boss next to him, "Take care of it, don't be lazy." β
"Yes, yes, the little one understands."
Jiang Lan looked at the facilities in the prison, the carved pear wood table, with white glazed porcelain on it, the mouth of the pot was still steaming, and the straw mat next to it was covered with a thick mattress, brand new.
It seems that this Qin Shu is quite good at being an official!
This Jingzhao Mansion is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and those who commit crimes at every turn will meet the children of the nobles, no wonder they can sit firmly in this position that is tormented like fire so far.
The cell was surrounded by mud walls on three sides, one pillar on the other, and a small window in the middle of the mud wall, with iron bars cast over the window, from which the faint sunlight shone in.
Jiang Lan spread out the mattress and sat on it to watch the light and shadow tilt.
Now that I am trapped in this prison, I can't do anything, so it's better to cultivate my soul here and be in a daze.
Not long after he closed his eyes, he heard three kinds of footsteps walking in, and then the chains locked in his cell were opened.
Jiang Lan opened her eyes and couldn't help but smile when she saw someone coming, "I didn't expect you to come so early, did you bring food?" β
Jiang Si put the food box on the small table, ignored Jiang Lan, and just instructed Chun Ming behind him to sprinkle the insecticide powder all around, as well as the mattress, pillows, utensils, etc.
Jiang Lan sat cross-legged at one end, looking at Jiang Si's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you so prepared?" It's not that you want to live permanently, and you leave the next day, so why bother so much. β
Hearing this, Jiang Si turned his head and glared, like ripples in spring water, so beautiful that he couldn't be seen.
"If it's really as easy as my brother said, where can I get into this place." Jiang Si put the four or five sheepskin kettles he brought under the mattress, "No matter whether it is clean or not, my brother should not drink it." β
Jiang Lan nodded.
"I have prepared cooked dried meat, and if my brother is hungry, he will eat these, and the food in the cell will be free, not even the banquet that he will pay to call from outside. I will send someone for three meals a day...... No, I delivered it personally. β
"Don't be that nervous."
Jiang Lan wondered if this sister had heard too much about those who were murdered by the enemy in prison, and now she was too nervous.
Back to Jiang Lan's glare.
"I don't feel sorry for you, there are still a lot of things to do at home."
"If my brother really feels sorry for me, come out early."
"Hmm." Jiang Lan hurriedly swallowed the piece of chicken in his mouth and replied quickly.
"And Grandmother Xue's birthday banquet is coming, if you know that you are out of this file, you can't be angry." The heirs of Jiang Mansion are thin, and Jiang Lan has had a close relationship with her cousin Jiang Si since she was a child.
The Xue family of the British Mansion naturally also loves the house and Wu, and they also love this cousin who is so smart, and she is not worse than the serious cousin.
As soon as she heard the Xue family, Jiang Lan couldn't help but have a headache.
"What about this news reaching the Xue Mansion?"
When Jiang Si heard this, his eyes sharpened, "What?" Does my brother still want to hide it from his family? β
ββ¦β¦ I didn't. β
Jiang Si looked cold and didn't listen to everyone, and Jiang Lan couldn't explain it himself.
Everything came too coincidentally and too quickly, and I'm still confused.
"The errand in the palace of the eldest cousin can't get out of the way, and the second cousin ran to the mansion as soon as he heard the news, just on the same road as me, and at this time he was 'talking' with Lord Qin in the mansion."
Jiang Lan knew that Xue Mingrui had put pressure on him as soon as he heard it, but this matter was really strange.
Let's talk about that Xue Dafu's deed was obviously good and put it there in his place, why was it taken out, and Xue Dafu was taken off his slave status.
This is not the most important thing, he obviously didn't make a dead move, why did Xue Dafu die mysteriously as soon as he returned home? I just happened to meet Qin Shu, how coincidental should I be?
"He's coming?" Jiang Lan asked tremblingly.
"What? My brother is still afraid that my second cousin will not succeed? β
Jiang Lan covered her chest, and her fairy-like cold sister was like opening a chatterbox, talking without money, and poking every sentence into people's hearts.
Although the second cousin is an antique-loving and unruly character, the decency in his bones will not be extinguished at any time. After a while, he was nagged by him several times.
Although it was useless to help "Brother Lobby" invite Pei Jiu last time, I also went around the casino. Afterwards, he somehow found out, and when he ran down Mrs. Yong'anbo, he reprimanded him in the study for most of the hour.
If it weren't for Brother Ming'er's clever ghost asking him questions, he would have been able to train from the afternoon to late at night.
"Forget it, I'll tell you something."
Jiang Si's face turned a little colder, put down the things in his hand, and approached.
~~
The words are divided into two ends, and the back of Jingzhao Mansion.
Qin Shu broke out in a cold sweat and picked up the tea in front of him to suppress his shock.
The second son of Xue on the other side is also too terrible, a few days ago, the matter of Liu Heng and the prince of the Earl of Yong'an's mansion, I didn't see him say so sharply and aggressively, is this an evil today?
"Second Prince Xue, Jiang Shizi's matter is really not a matter of being difficult for the lower officials, this physical witness is there, and the lower officials are not good at favoritism."
Xue Ergongzi's momentum was in full swing, and Lord Qin Shu and Qin had to bow his head and be small, and retreat as advance.
"The evidence that Lord Qin said has also been seen before coming down, so it is not enough to mention."
ββ¦β¦β
"Lord Qin doesn't think it's strange, so coincidentally, Xue Dafu recovered his free body a few days before the accident? My cousin died just after beating him? Why didn't his little guy go and ask Lang Zhong to intercept the adults on the road as soon as possible? Don't you think it's a coincidence, my lord? β
"This ......"
"My cousin is the son of the Guogong Mansion, the first emperor is the first emperor, my aunt is the current queen mother, the cousin of the saint, and the fiancΓ© of Princess Ningyuan, you see, which identity is worthy of him to design a dog slave who deceives and deceives the master?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Take 10,000 steps back and say, it's not a pity for people like Xue Dafu to die, bullying men and women, I don't know how many women from good families have been killed over the years, even the nuns in the temple don't let go...... You officials don't do things for the people, and my cousin is uneven and pulls out a sword to help, but it still hinders your eyes, doesn't it? β
"Don't dare, don't dare." Qin Shu hurriedly got up and apologized, where did he dare to sit down.
"If it weren't for my cousin's bravery and fearlessness to turn the tide, wouldn't that young woman from a peasant family be a bad murderer?"
"What you say, what you say."
"Human witnesses? Evidence? Why don't you ask those people if they saw that it was Xue Dafu's gangster who started the trouble first? Is it still impossible for my cousin to be beaten if he doesn't fight back? Where does this make sense? β
"It's the lower officials who are stupid, stupid."
"Lord Qin, this is a person who wants to see righteousness and bravery, and he is still cold when he sheds blood!"
In the last sentence, Qin Shu almost knelt down.
Heartbreaking! It's really heartbreaking! With such a big pot of hats buttoned down, how can you mix in officialdom? Isn't this the enemy of the righteous people of the world and adding to their blockage?
