Chapter 23: A Bizarre Murder (1)
Who knows, An Wanqing sneered and sneered disdainfully: "Really? What is a joke? The person who the saint asked Miss Ye Er to marry was not the fifth prince. The saint is not for Yan Qingyu, he changed the marriage contract again. ”
"Therefore, my father is extremely fond of Yan Qingyu, and we can't lose to him." Nangong Qi said.
Suddenly thinking of something, An Wanqing looked up at Nangong Qi and asked strangely, "Isn't Your Highness ignorant of martial arts?" How did you get in over the wall? ”
"Please, even if Xiao Wang can't beat the master, he will also be able to order three-legged cat kung fu, what's the fuss about climbing over the wall, Xiao Wang is the one who climbed over the beam." Nangong Qi clasped his hands in front of his chest and pouted.
An Wanqing stroked her forehead speechlessly, and then said seriously: "Since time is pressing, Wanqing goes to change into men's clothes, and she can't appear in front of everyone as Miss Ye Er, Your Highness will wait for a while." ”
"It's still thoughtful." Nangong Qi nodded.
"Your Highness remembers to change your words in front of outsiders, just call me Ye Nan." An Wanqing admonished.
"Understood, Ye Nan Gongzi." Nangong Qi had a bit of a joking tone.
After An Wanqing finished changing into men's clothes, the two of them told Xing'er a few words, avoided the guards of the Ye Mansion, jumped out of the backyard wall, and hurried to Zhou Shangshu's Mansion.
Because of the murder case in Zhou Shangshu's Mansion, the Criminal Department had already ordered someone to seal off the entire mansion.
Yan Qingyu had just walked into Zhou Shangshu's Mansion with his henchmen Mo Ting, Mo Qiu and a team of Imperial Jin Army, and Nangong Qi and An Wanqing came to the door of Zhou's Mansion on their back feet.
"Cai Ming, the head of the Xiaguan Criminal Department, has seen the Seventh Prince, but I don't know that the Seventh Prince's arrival is ......" Cai Ming looked at Nangong Qi who jumped off the horse with some strangeness.
"Father ordered this king to investigate the murder of Gongzi on Tuesday, this is the helper invited by this king, Ye Nangongzi." Nangong Qi said.
Cai Ming grinned, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and was skeptical of Nangong Qi's words.
If you want to solve the case, there is Jingzhao Mansion Yin below, and there is the Yujin Army above, what kind of excitement is this free and easy Seven Princes running to join in?
Now that this Imperial Jin Army is still inside, if Lord Yan is to blame, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But if the Seventh Prince really got His Majesty's permission, it would never be offended.
At this moment, Cai Ming was really embarrassed.
But seeing that the head of the criminal department was stunned, Nangong Qi said speechlessly: "Lord Cai, if you don't believe in this king's words, you can go into the palace and ask your father." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Cai Ming didn't dare to offend, so he had to be deflated, and kindly reminded: "Your Highness go in, now Lord Yan is inside." ”
Nangong Qi glanced at him, "I'm afraid he will do something!" ”
"Xiaguan ......"
Nangong Qi simply didn't say a word, and pulled An Wanqing into Zhou Shangshu's mansion.
The entire Zhou Mansion was filled with a sad atmosphere, Shangshu Zhou Jie's eyes were even red, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant, and he was powerless to even speak.
"Xiaguan has seen the Seventh Highness." Although Zhou Ji was surprised by Nangong Qi's arrival, he was too lazy to think about it under the depression and grief.
"Lord Zhou doesn't need to be polite, my father ordered the king to come and solve the case with the imperial Jin army, and the king promised that he would find out the real murderer and avenge Ling Lang, and Lord Zhou mourned and changed." Nangong Qi said with relief.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness Lao Qi has thanked Your Majesty on behalf of your minister." Zhou Ji sighed sadly, "My son's death is really miserable, if you don't catch the murderer, the old man won't be blind." ”
"My father has ordered me to wait for three days to solve the case, and in the next few days, it will trouble Lord Zhou, in order to facilitate the case, my friends and I will stay in Zhou's mansion for the time being." Nangong Qi said.
Nangong Qi thought, the case is urgent, there are only three days, and he is no more experienced than Yu Jinjun in solving the case, so he can only work hard overnight. said that he couldn't lose to Yan Qingyu, and he must solve the case before him.
Who knows, Yan Qingyu also thinks so.
I only heard Zhou Ji say: "It just so happens that Lord Yan is also going to live in the Zhou Mansion, and the lower official asked the housekeeper to clean it up." ”
"Ahem......" Nangong Qi couldn't help but choke.
This damn Yan Qingyu, it seems that he also wants to solve the case in front of Xiao Wang.
Zhou Ji sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man, and under the grief, he had no intention of paying attention to Nangong Qi's complicated expression at this moment.
"Who is this son?" Only then did Zhou Ji notice An Wanqing behind Nangong Qi.
Nangong Qi had to make an introduction, "This is Ye Nan, a friend of this king, who came to assist this king." ”
An Wanqing hurriedly bowed to Zhou Xuan, "Cao Minye Nan, I have seen Lord Shangshu. ”
Zhou Yu glanced at her, nodded, and then ordered the housekeeper to send someone to clean the guest room.
An Wanqing thought, since Yan Qingyu also stayed in the Zhou Mansion, would tonight be the perfect time to assassinate him?
"Gone." Seeing An Wanqing in a daze, Nangong Qi smashed her with his elbow and strode forward.
An Wanqing came back to her senses and hurriedly followed.
Zhou Ji dragged his heavy steps to lead the way in front.
The Imperial Jin Army investigated the case, and the idle people naturally did not dare to approach, and the family members and slaves of the Zhou Mansion hid far away.
Soon, the three of them came to Childe's room on Tuesday.
Yan Qingyu and his henchmen Mo Ting, Mo Qiu, and the servants of the Criminal Department were in the room of the prince on Tuesday at the moment.
Childe's body was lying on the bed on Tuesday, with a blood stain on his chest and under his right abdomen.
Walking into Tuesday's childe's bedroom, An Wanqing's eyes suddenly fixed on Yan Qingyu's body.
At this moment, Yan Qingyu took off the red dazzling red fire python robe, the light blue blue-edged brocade shirt was draped on her body, the jade belt around her waist was elegant and chic, and she was full of a fairy breath, with that natural jade cheeks, which made An Wanqing can't help but think of the praise that has been passed down since ancient times: Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
An Wanqing's heart couldn't help but ache, she came back to her senses, and hurriedly looked away.
"How did Childe die this Tuesday?" As soon as Nangong Qi entered the bedroom, he asked at him.
He was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect the Seventh Prince to come and ask, first glanced at Yan Qingyu who was standing aside with his hands behind his back, but seeing that Lord Yan was silent, he looked at Nangong Qi again, and replied seriously: "The second prince was stabbed into the gall and died, and the time of death was last night." ”
Yan Qingyu turned around, her eyes suddenly focused on An Wanqing behind Nangong Qi, she was stunned for a moment, looked at An Wanqing, but said that Nangong Qi listened, "This is the master of solving cases in your mouth?" Can I help you solve the case? ”
"Nature." Nangong Qi clasped his hands in front of his chest and raised his chin proudly, "This king's friend, Ye Nan." ”
"Ye Nan? It's kind of interesting. Yan Qingyu said inexplicably, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked away from An Wanqing.
An Wanqing's heart thumped inexplicably, instinctively touched the dagger habitually hidden in the cuff, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself.
"Died last night? This king heard his father say that the prince died at the gate of the Zhou Mansion on Tuesday, what happened? Nangong Qi looked at Zhou Ji and asked.
