Everyone looked at it, but they were afraid that there was no hope at all, and they couldn't help but sigh.

The beautiful woman also realized something, and the man in her arms roared: "Husband, husband, wake up." ”

The beautiful woman tried to pick up the man, but before she could get up, her feet slipped and she sat down again: "I beg you, I beg you, can you save my husband?" ”

"Madam, Lang Zhong is here." The servant who went to ask Langzhong hurriedly brought the person over, his breath was too hasty, and after speaking, he knelt directly on the ground.

Lang Zhong was a little old, he was carried on a horse, and he couldn't stand on his legs and feet all the way. I wanted to have a few words of complaining, but I swallowed back when I saw the situation. Kneeling on the ground to take the pulse, he shook his head: "It's late." ”

When the beautiful woman's tears didn't seem to dry up, she looked at Lang Zhong helplessly: "Try again?" ”

Lang Zhong shook his head and stood up. Chen Xueqing stepped forward to help.

Only then did the beautiful woman admit that her husband had indeed passed away.

Jiang Zhu, who had not spoken, had already surveyed the surroundings in instinct, and stepped forward: "Madam, in the Shaoqing of the Lower Dali Temple, dare to ask when it happened just now?" ”

"My husband is the imperial envoy Xie Chongguang, and I am his wife Zhou. Today, my husband took me to the newly opened horse farm to ride a horse, and after a while, I felt a little tired and planned to sit down and rest. ”

Zhou's emotions also slowly calmed down, or the current situation did not allow her to panic. The death of her husband means that she has to provoke the whole beam.

"As I walked forward with my back to my husband, I suddenly heard him shout, and when I turned around, he fell from his horse and hit his head on a stone on the ground, bleeding profusely."

Jiang Zhu pointed to the horse being led by the horse slave and asked, "But this one?" ”

Zhou nodded.

"Are you two riding together?" Jiang Zhu asked.

"I don't know how to ride a horse." Zhou's expression was a little wooden: "When we chose this horse, we also specially asked the groom to find a docile one." ”

"Can you let me examine Xie Yushi's wounds?" Jiang Zhu said bluntly: "I hope Madame will forgive me." ”

"No problem." Xie Yushi is an official of the imperial court, and when he encounters this kind of accident, he has to find out clearly. This is what Zhou can know: "It's troublesome Jiang Shaoqing." Zhou stood aside with the support of the servant and gave up his place to Jiang Zhu.

Chen Xueqing quickly got started and took out some small objects from his body. Jiang Zhu continued to survey the scene.

Gu Rongyan and his party, who heard about the accident at the racecourse, also rushed over. I was shocked to see the horrible corpse on the ground. I was going to go directly, but when I saw the Zhou family next to me who had a relationship with my mother, I had to step forward to appease him.

"Li'er, give me some water." There was too much blood flowing, and the wound was a little blurry.

"Give." Song Lier specially brought it for riding a horse today: "Do you need anything?" ”

"Do you have a knife?" After changing his clothes, Chen Xueqing forgot to take the knife.

"Yes." After Song Lier handed it to Chen Xueqing, she found that Jiang Zhu was looking at her, scratching her head a little embarrassed, and wanted to explain, but Jiang Zhu seemed to have found something on the ground, and Song Lier didn't want to bother anymore. Squatted next to Chen Xueqing and laid his hands.

Upon inspection, all the clues showed that it was an accident.

With the deceased as the greatest, Jiang Zhu can't drag it out. Let the people of the racecourse help transport Xie Yushi's body back to Xie Mansion and organize the funeral as soon as possible.

Out of Xie's Mansion, Song Lier stood at the door waiting for Jiang Zhu and Chen Xueqing. Gu Rongyan, who had been accompanying the Zhou family by her side, also happened to come out.

"A businesswoman is a businesswoman, and she is destined to not be on the stage." Gu Rongyan sneered, got into the carriage, and left.

Jiang Zhu didn't know when he was standing next to Song Li'er: "If there were no merchants, where would this bustling street come from." ”

"Huh?" Song Li'er turned around: "Are you comforting me?" ”

"My family is the home of a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan." Jiang Zhu explained.

"Then if you don't say it earlier, I'll worry about you today." Song Lier didn't care about Gu Rongyan's words.

"Look at what you said is interesting, I think you can consider it." Jiang Zhu smiled faintly.

The three of them went back to their respective homes. This matter has also been put on hold for the time being, and Jiang Zhu will go all out to investigate when His Majesty gives an order tomorrow morning.

As soon as Song Lier returned home, she rushed to Song Wanjing's yard.

"Brother, let me tell you." Song Lier kicked open the door of the study.

Song Wanjing was reading and reading energetically, when Song Li'er suddenly appeared, so frightened that he almost rolled off the couch.

"Li'er, one day my life was scared by you." Song Wanjing drank a saliva and was shocked. Although Song Lier has not tortured him once or twice. But I really can't get used to it: "What's the matter with me?" ”

"When I went to the racecourse today, Xie Yushi had an accident. Jiang Shaoqing and the others investigated, but they didn't find anything. Song Li'er directly ignored Song Wanjing's ghost call, sat on the side, poured herself a cup of tea first, peeled an orange, and then carefully explained the afternoon's events.

"There are at least a few accidents like this at the horse farm in a year, which is nothing. It's just that the person who died is Xie Yushi, and the imperial court will definitely let Dali Temple investigate carefully to avoid any mistakes. Song Wanjing thought that tomorrow morning the court would talk about this matter.

Early in the morning of the second day, His Majesty issued a holy decree that Jiang Zhu was responsible for investigating the case clearly. This means that even if nothing was detected at the time, it could be concluded that it was an accident. Jiang Zhu still has to go through this scene again, not to mention that Jiang Zhu has doubts in his heart.

Jiang Zhu took Chen Xueqing to Xie Mansion again in the morning, and no other injuries were found on Xie Yushi's body, and there were no signs of poisoning in his body. But the news from the horse farm was that the horses used by Xie Yushi yesterday were the most docile of those horses, and he assured that such an accident had never happened.

Without a clue, Jiang Zhu and Chen Xueqing planned to go to the Song Mansion to listen to Song Wanjing's opinion.

"In order to prevent accidents, the new horse farm will choose the Shire horse. Although this kind of horse is relatively tall, it is extremely docile and has no wild nature. Jiang Zhu's family has a horse farm, and he has consulted a very experienced horseman for this knowledge.

"In meekness, you are also livestock, and there will always be times when you get angry. Even human beings can't control their emotions. Chen Xueqing has no research on horses, and he rides horses when he goes out with Song Lier on weekdays.

"That's when someone did something to the horse." Song Wanjing thought of this, and then overturned it herself: "But if that's the case, how can it be possible to ensure that the other party can choose the passive one among so many horses." ”

"In addition, Xie Yushi has been an official in the court for many years, and he has always maintained neutrality and has not offended anyone." Song Wanjing and Xie Yushi met several times, and they had the impression that he was a gentle-speaking man.

Song Wanjing thought of Xie Yushi's wife, some rumors about the Zhou family in the capital. Although there is no disadvantage, in every case, whether it is a bystander or a person from the authorities, it is possible that the murderer: "His wife can investigate." ”

"As far as I know, Xie Yushi's wife, Zhou, is the Xie Mansion who has been advancing for more than a year, and Zhou is the concubine of the Zhou family in Manxian County." This is what Jiang Zhu heard from standing in the crowd yesterday.

"This was a big fuss back then. A royal envoy doctor in the current dynasty actually married a concubine. Chen Xueqing also has an impression.

"Smack~" The door was kicked open.

"Brother, the eldest brother has written a letter. Said that next month will ~ go back ~ home ~"

Song Li'er didn't expect that there were other people in Song Wanjing's house at all, and after kicking out the foot awkwardly, she turned around awkwardly and took it back. He grinned, indicating his embarrassment.

"Why are you all here? Are you here to visit my brother? ”

Song Wanjing suddenly felt that Song Li'er had to ask a grandmother to teach her, otherwise any family would dare to ask her for her in the future. Originally, Song Wanjing thought that Chen Xueqing, who was a childhood sweetheart, was good, but when she saw the two of them calling her brothers, she gave up decisively. Now that there is another Jiang Zhu, it seems that there is no play.

Chen Xueqing patted his forehead, and sure enough, Song Lier was even more heroic at home.

Probably only Jiang Zhu felt that Song Li'er was normal like this: "I'm talking about yesterday's case." ”

"Wow!" Song Li'er nodded: "Then you talk first, I'll prepare some snacks for you." ”

Song Li'er was about to walk out of the door, but as if she thought of something, she leaned back: "Jiang Shaoqing, what do you want to eat?" ”

Jiang Zhu?

"I don't think you ate anything when you went to the morning court." In the past, when Song Dingfeng was an official in the court, every time the Li family got up early to prepare a small bowl of rice porridge for Song Dingfeng, and then had a hearty meal after the next court.

"I want to eat floating yuanzi." Jiang Zhu remembered that the cook in Song Lier's house was from Jiangnan.

"Okay." Song Li'er staggered out. Walking out of Song Wanjing's courtyard, Song Lier was deflated.

"Xiguo, do you think I've lost all my face?"

"Lady, this is true temperament." Xiguo wants to say, this is not the first time for you, and your face has long been gone.

"Forget it, anyway, if you pay attention to it now, your true nature will be exposed at that time." Song Lier is not distressed when she thinks about it.

And in Song Wanjing's house, where Song Lier left, Jiang Zhu was being looked at by the two.

"Did you offend Li'er?" Song Wanjing didn't remember that Song Lier was usually so considerate.

Chen Xueqing also nodded.

"No, I don't." Jiang Zhu was a little unsure when he looked at him.

"Are you sure? Last time, when Song Lier was kind to me, she put laxatives in my noodles and made me pull for three days. Chen Xueqing remembers this incident vividly.

Song Wanjing is better, after all, she is Song Lier's brother. But there are still a lot of times I have been pitted. It's like eating and finding a worm in a bowl, or a mouse in a quilt.

Jiang Zhu 。。。。。。

"It's okay, maybe Li'er is purely good for you. After all, you've helped her several times and saved her life. ”

Song Wanjing's comfort didn't seem to have much effect.
