Chapter 17: Assisting in the Investigation
There were no clues, so Zhang Fengyu had to put the case on hold for the time being.
But I don't know who spread this matter, and the people learned that it was the prince's relatives who did the evil, and the anger of being oppressed by the rich and noble people suddenly gushed out, and it was rumored that the officials of the king protected each other and shielded Han Xu.
Every day, many ordinary people come to the palace, kneeling down and begging Murong Yu to be the master, and give everyone justice.
The people in the palace came out to appease, but a group left, and a group poured up, and the palace had to close the gate during the day.
Murong Lin has been busy outside these days, and there is nothing in the house to stare at Feng Xiaoyue, so she thought about going out to check the industry outside, and by the way, to see how Murong Lin is doing.
Feng Xiaoyue changed into ordinary clothes and went out from the corner gate with Xiao Yu. was walking in the alley, and the chatter of the aunts picking vegetables next to her attracted Feng Xiaoyue's attention.
"Have you heard, the dead girl turned out to be a maid in the mansion of the princess of King Li."
Hearing this, another lady in dark blue clothes pouted, "Of course I heard it, it was said that the princess was kicked out when she got married, and the maid said the wrong word, and she was held by the princess." ”
"And I said, that girl has a lot of old injuries on her body, which was beaten by the princess, and how much torture should a poor girl with such a good spirit have."
The aunt who was the one who was the one who was talking pulled her sleeve in shock and whispered, "Seriously, I have seen the princess from afar, and she looks quite good." ”
The eldest lady clapped her hands: "It's good to look at the face, they are big families, which one is not pampered, and there are one set of methods to torture people." It hurts us, the people who have no power and power, and if it doesn't go well, it's to give the master's anger. ”
Xiao Yu was so angry when she heard this, she wanted to roll up her sleeves and reason with these two old women who chewed the root of her tongue, her young lady was beautiful and kind-hearted, so why was she vicious.
Feng Xiaoyue hurriedly took her hand, and seeing that the two aunts were attracted by Xiao Yu's movements, she hurriedly smiled at them and pulled Xiao Yu out of the alley.
"Miss, they are talking nonsense, why don't you let me reason with them." Xiao Yu puffed out his cheeks angrily.
Feng Xiaoyue smiled faintly: "You also know that they are talking nonsense, that's enough, they are only willing to believe these groundless things, no matter how much you say, it's useless." ”
Because the people live at the bottom of the society, they hate the rich and hate the officials in their hearts, and feel that the rich people in the world are not good things. Feng Xiaoyue has also seen a lot of these in modern times.
originally thought that this case was an ordinary murder or blame, and it would be easy for the truth to be revealed, but I didn't expect it to be so widely involved, and even affected the Feng family. Although Feng Xiaoyue came through time, she still has a lot of feelings for the Feng family.
"That's it, you don't have to go to the shop today, let's go to the governor's yamen." Feng Xiaoyue sighed slightly.
Xiao Yu said happily: "Really, Miss, you finally figured it out, are you going to see the prince." ”
"Sort of." Feng Xiaoyue pursed her lips.
The two walked outside the yamen, and Feng Xiaoyue suddenly remembered that she was a woman, and now she was wearing such clothes, so she couldn't get in. In addition to being annoyed, he could only walk around the door to see when Murong Lin would come out.
"My lord, there are two women outside the door who have been sneaking around, but I want my subordinates to bring them in."
In the yamen, Murong Lin was analyzing the case with Zhang Fengyu, and when they heard the report from the porter, they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Perhaps, it was the opportunity for this case?" Zhang Fengyu glanced at Murong Lin, Murong Lin raised his eyes when he heard the voice, stood up and said, "Where are the people, take me to see." ”
Outside the door, Feng Xiaoyue was thinking about how to let people go in to report without doubt, and Murong Lin had already walked over.
"Miss." Xiao Yu hurriedly tugged at her sleeve.
Murong Lin couldn't help frowning when he saw Feng Xiaoyue's dress: "Why did you come out dressed like this again, is there anything wrong?" ”
Feng Xiaoyue turned around and saw that Zhang Fengyu was also there, so she nodded to him first, and then tilted her head slightly and said to Murong Lin, "I'm here to care about how the case is going." How, there are results. ”
Zhang Fengyu arched his hand: "There is Concubine Lao Shi who is concerned, but this case is still not eyebrow-raising." ”
"There are a lot of doubts in this case, and we need some time." Murong Lin held Feng Xiaoyue's shoulder, "Solving the case is a husband's business, and it is inconvenient for you to be a woman." You'd better go back first and wait for our news. ”
"I'm not bored at home alone, so I might as well come and help you." Feng Xiaoyue looked at him.
Seeing this, Zhang Fengyu said to Murong Lin: "Lord Shizi, let's go to Li Yao's house to check later, if the princess is here, the maidservants beside her may be able to see some clues." ”
"Okay then." Murong Lin withdrew his hand, and a carriage had already been brought on the road.
Murong Lin jumped up first and stretched out his hand to Feng Xiaoyue, "Then you stay by my side and don't run around." ”
"Okay." Feng Xiaoyue lifted the hem of her skirt, and then his force got into the car.
When I arrived at Li's house, the surrounding farmers had already gone out to farm, and there were only a few local dogs in this place to watch over the house.
Aunt Li showed Feng Xiaoyue tea, and Li Jiu led Murong Lin and them to see the beam of the house where her daughter was hanged.
Feng Xiaoyue was talking to Aunt Li. Suddenly, I saw a figure by the window looking in, and immediately shouted: "What person." ”
The man was scared away, and Murong Lin immediately chased him out and saw that Feng Xiaoyue was fine. Feng Xiaoyue comforted Aunt Li and pointed out a direction to Murong Lin: "Over there." ”
Murong Lin quickly caught the person, and the man confessed that he was a servant of the rich Lin family, and Lin Hao, the young master of the Lin family, killed Li Yao, so he wanted to ask him to come and find out the news.
Murong Lin threw the man to the catcher and tied him up, and angrily shot the case, and was about to arrest Lin Hao in person, Feng Xiaoyue hurriedly grabbed him.
"He won't tell you the truth without evidence." Seeing that Murong Lin still looked indignant, Feng Xiaoyue said again, "Don't worry, I have a way." Murong Lin looked at her suspiciously.
*
At night, Lin Hao was asleep on the bed, a feather-like thing kept scratching his nose, Lin Hao sneezed, and then woke up.
The surrounding area was empty, and the wind blew the windows open and close. Somehow, Lin Hao always felt that something was wrong, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his back.
"Help~" A ghostly voice floated from afar, and Lin Hao suddenly felt that his legs and feet were weak and he couldn't walk.
The voice drifted closer and closer, and it was clear that the door was not opened, but there was a woman floating in the air in the room.
The woman slowly approached Lin Hao, and Lin Hao could see her long tongue falling out.
"Childe, let me go~"
This familiar tone made Lin Hao's eyes widen in surprise: "You, you are Li Yao?!" ”
