Four Princesses' Mansion. Flash Dance

After reading a few folds in a row, Liang Yan's brows did not stretch. After a long time, he looked up and asked, "What about the families of those who were killed?" Why didn't anyone report to the official? ”

The guard waiting next to him hurriedly said: "General Hui, his subordinates are incompetent, and he has not been able to find out the owner behind the flower building in the nameless alley, probably because the person is familiar with the government below, and the matter of the dead man was forcibly suppressed, so no one reported it." ”

Liang Yan frowned: "Who dares to make trouble in my Huai Liang." After pondering for a while, he commanded, "Go and bring the families of the deceased, and don't leave the family behind, I will check them one by one." ”

The guards took the order and left.

The people who died in the flower building were all civilians without exception, and the families of each family were waiting in the backyard, looking sad or indifferent.

Liang Yan looked over one by one, sighed slightly, walked up to them, and actually bent down deeply to apologize: "For the things in the flower building, it was because I was not competent enough, so I was negligent enough to cause today's situation, and it has been delayed for so long, I am sorry." ”

Those ordinary people have been cautious since they entered the princess's mansion, where have they seen such a scene, I only heard that it was General Sima who personally summoned them, and they were all panicked one by one, not that Liang Yan was terrible, but that they were afraid of colliding with nobles, for fear that one would be beheaded if he was not careful. Seeing that Liang Yan actually made such a big gift, and apologized to them, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, and said in fear: "Don't dare, princess...... We are already grateful that the general is willing to administer justice to us civilians. ”

"How dare you call yourself us!" One of them said suddenly, then fell to the ground and trembled: "Princess, I am grateful to the grass people!" ”

Liang Yan shook her head slightly and personally helped the person up. "As General Sima, I was ordered by my father to protect my people, and now this is indeed my fault. I called you here today to understand the situation, and I hope you can all answer my questions truthfully and don't hide anything, so that I can catch the murderer faster. ”

A total of twenty people died in the flower building, all of them were strong men under the age of forty. Flash Dance

Liang Yan looked at the booklet in her hand and asked, "Who is Wang San's family?" ”

"I am. Wang San is the man in my family. A woman stepped forward.

Liang Yan asked, "He usually likes to go to places like Hualou Yihong Courtyard?" ”

The woman shook her head and said with a very sad expression: "Where can a poor family like us have the money to squander in such a place. ”

Liang Yan was strange and asked, "Then your man did go to that flower building, and he has been there for a few days." ”

The woman said: "I really don't have that money at home, but once the dead ghost got drunk and came back and talked nonsense, saying that the flower building invited them in for free, listen to what he meant, all men can enter for free, and the wine and those girls don't need silver." As she spoke, the woman couldn't help but redden.

"Free?" Liang Yan thought to herself, when will Yihong Courtyard not want money to invite people to go in and have fun for free? "Then when did your man disappear? And when was the body found? Where was it found? What's so unusual? ”

After being asked so many questions in a row, the woman was a little confused, but she also told everything she knew.

"The dead ghost went for three days in a row, and he didn't do any work at home, and he didn't listen to any persuasion, and he didn't come back until the fourth day, and he didn't come back in the evening, and I didn't pay attention to it, thinking that he was drunk and stayed there and didn't come back, but who would have thought ......," the woman wiped her tears and continued, "I didn't come back for two days, and I was in a hurry, so I went to look for it, but I was beaten out by the people in the flower building, saying that no one had been there at all, and I couldn't do it, so I had to go home and wait, and I waited for five days in a row, and no one came back." That day I went up the hill to cut the pigweed, and in the grass, I found a corpse, and I was so scared that I wanted to die, but I had the courage to look closely, and I found that the man was wearing exactly the same clothes as the man I had worn before leaving, and the body shape was similar, and I knew that he was dead......"

Liang Yan frowned: "Then when you found him, what was wrong with him?" For example, what wounds are there on the body? ”

The woman shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "When I saw him, he could no longer see the human form, his whole body was shriveled, and all that was left was a layer of skin and a skeleton of bones. As for the wound, I was scared and didn't pay attention to the ......."

Liang Yan: ...... Well, not a bit of really useful information. "Okay, I see, you can go and rest for a while."

"Have any of you observed the wounds on the deceased?" Liang Yan asked.

A thin old man stepped forward and said tremblingly, "Princess, the little one has seen it." ”

Liang Yan raised her eyebrows, asked the maid to take a chair for him to sit down, and asked, "Old man, tell me carefully." ”

The old man sat down gratefully and recalled: "My eldest son, who is not a weapon, is also the same as the previous Wang San, who died outside, but the body was found earlier, I looked at it at the time, and there was no obvious wound on my son's body. ”

Liang Yan frowned, "Okay, I see." After a pause, he asked, "Anyone else?" Be sure to tell the truth, say whatever you see, and don't hide it. ”

After asking a few more people, Liang Yan was able to determine the same characteristics of the deceased after death, all of them were shriveled and devoid of flesh and blood, leaving only a layer of skin wrapped in bones.

However, except for this old man, no one else looked at the body of the deceased carefully, and they were not sure whether there were wounds on the deceased's body, and even if there were wounds, they were not sure what kind of sharp weapon it was.

Seeing that the guards questioned everyone and flipped through the list of the deceased in her hand, Liang Yan felt helpless.

I asked for most of the day, but I didn't find any useful clues.

"You have also worked hard today, my father attaches great importance to this matter, and specially ordered me to investigate this matter thoroughly, you can rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation." Liang Yan waved her hand, and a few maids next to her immediately walked over, opened the box she was holding, and distributed the silver inside to these people.

Where have the little people seen so much silver, they were dumbfounded for a while, they didn't know what Liang Yan meant, so naturally they didn't dare to reach out to take it.

Liang Yan said: "This is the pension given to you by the imperial court, although your family did not die on the battlefield, but after all, it is my Huailiang's people, if something happens, it is our fault, you take these silver, it should be enough for your livelihood for the rest of your life, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, I will definitely help if I can." ”

Hearing this, the dumbfounded people came back to their senses, took the silver with great gratitude, and were sent out of the house by the guards.

A maid next to her said: "Princess, the emperor didn't mean to compensate them, why did you pay out of your own pocket to ......?"

Liang Yan smiled, and the maid immediately shut up and stopped talking, still looking at her with a puzzled expression.

Liang Yan said: "My father is old, I probably forgot what the people's aspirations mean, I gave them a pension, first, to help their lives, without the main family force, their lives will be very difficult." The second is to appease them and let them know that the court attaches great importance to their people, and my father also attaches importance to them. The people are water, and the father and the emperor are the boats, and they can't chill the hearts of the people. ”

The maid's face was abrupt, and she couldn't help but say proudly: "The princess is really thoughtful! It is worthy of being the protector of our Huailiang! ”

"Okay, don't be poor, go to the palace and call Liangchen to me." Liang Yan smiled and turned around and went to the study in the front yard.

The maid immediately left the house and entered the palace and invited Liangchen to come.

Liangchen was scolded again because of the 'silver hand', and he was very sullen. entered Liang Yan's study, but he still drooped his face and didn't speak.

Seeing him like this, Liang Yan understood in her heart and asked, "Scolding again?" ”

Liangchen nodded aggrievedly, "I went to tell my father that I wanted that 'silver hand' wanted in the whole city, so that I could chase those things back, but I didn't expect my father to disagree, and I also taught me to think too simply, saying that I am not as good as one-tenth of yours, and I am depressed to death!" ”

Liang Yan shook her head slightly, and stabbed the knife mercilessly: "What my father said is right. ”

"Fourth Emperor Sister!" Liangchen was aggrieved.

Liang Yan explained: "If you think about it, it's just a thief, no matter how famous the outside world is, but there are so many master guards in the palace, and the treasure pavilion is also heavily guarded, and there are many mechanisms, even if there is a name of 'thief', that person will definitely be able to beat the guards?" Moreover, if the treasure pavilion is stolen, the thief must know the arrangement of the mechanism inside, otherwise he will not be able to touch any mechanism. ”

It's a pity that Liang Chen thought that it was the hand that thief silver did, and when he heard Liang Yan say this, he just pretended to nod seriously, thinking in his heart, he didn't believe that he couldn't catch that silver hand! If the emperor doesn't agree to be wanted in the whole city, then he can mobilize the people in his palace to arrest him!

When he is caught, he must be given a good slap to dispel his anger of being scolded twice in a row!

And Huang Zhong, the silver hand that Liang Chen was thinking about, was being trapped on the chair by Wuhua at this time, unable to move at all.

Su Nuo'er took two long feathers in her hands and ordered, "Take off his shoes and socks for me!" ”

Someone next to him immediately took off his shoes and socks, exposing his feet.

Su Nuo'er smiled grimly, "Pour him chili water." After a pause, he said, "I warn you, don't swallow this chili water, otherwise it will be uncomfortable in your stomach, so you will take it in your mouth, and you are not allowed to swallow it!" ”

Huang Zhong was pinched by someone's chin, and he was forced to be poured a mouthful of chili water, he was not stupid, he naturally knew that there was a name in this chili water, and he must not swallow it, but he obediently put it in his mouth.

After all, he didn't dare to spit it out.

Su Nuo'er smiled and handed the feather in her hand to Qing Xuan: "Scratch the soles of his feet for me, this is a freshly plucked duck feather, and it can't be wasted." ”
