Chapter 26: Fear
Princess Pingrui......
Hearing her name, Zhou Zhao's face became very ugly, and he couldn't help but say: "Nonsense, their case has long been over, and two of them still died in accidents, so why should they say that they are the same case!" ”
Zhuang Rou stared at Zhou Zhao and said word by word: "Shizi, do you think that there is no need to investigate this case, and it is directly determined that it is Xu Yiheng's crime?" ”
"What's my business, it's not me investigating the case, it's your business!" Zhou Zhao was a little out of shape, very different from the arrogant royal style just now, his eyes were a little dazed, and his voice shouted louder, "Quickly release my sister, I will spare you if I don't care about the villain today's matter!" ”
Zhuang Rou frowned, staring at his face motionlessly, her eyes full of scrutiny.
Zhou Zhao was so out of shape that he shouted: "Look at what to see!" ”
"Shizi, can I ask about it?" Lin Fei suddenly walked out from the side and hugged his fists and said, he was staying in other places, but he actually left his guard and ran over.
"No!" Zhou Zhao refused in one mouthful, and continued to point at Zhuang Rou and shouted, "Hurry up and let my sister go, do you hear it!" ”
Zhuang Rou and Lin Fei glanced at each other, and there was a thought in their eyes at the same time, the prince of Xian Wang is too strange, what does Bacheng know!
Since the prince said that the matter of letting go of the county lord is over, then let it go, Zhuang Rou slowly pulled out the knife, and there was no blood on the blade, but it was inserted into the sedan chair very deeply.
"County Lord, are you alright?"
The close-fitting maid pounced on it with an arrow step, lifted the curtain and asked anxiously. Suddenly, she quickly put down the sedan curtain, gasped a few times emotionally, and then stammered a little: "Shizi, the county lord wants to go back first, so I won't look here first." ”
Zhou Zhao took a step forward and stretched out his hand to lift the sedan curtain, he had to confirm whether his sister was alive or dead, looking at the appearance of this girl, something must have happened.
"Shizi, don't lift it!" When the girl saw it, she exclaimed in surprise, and reached out to grab him regardless of her identity.
At this moment, the voice of the county lord in the sedan chair came out with a crying voice, "Brother, I want to go back, you can leave me alone." ”
Zhou Zhao felt that there must be a problem, and said reluctantly: "How can this be done, you have to see if she hurt you." ”
"Stop! I said I wanted to go back! The county lord suddenly roared angrily, so frightened that Zhou Zhao stopped holding the sedan curtain, and looked at the sedan chair in a daze, he had never seen his sister like this. Not to mention such a roar, I usually don't even speak out loud.
When he was stunned, the girl had the courage to take his hand away, beckoned the sedan chair man to lift the sedan chair, and immediately spun down the mountain.
In everyone's confusion, the county lord of the Xianwang Mansion didn't even get off the sedan chair, and was carried down the mountain, leaving everyone looking at each other, not understanding what was going on.
After a while, someone finally guessed: "Maybe the knife cut through the clothes, so the county lord couldn't see people, so he carried it back." ”
"That's right, it's a blessing that the knife stabbed so deeply that it didn't hurt the county lord's golden body."
Lin Fei glanced at Zhuang Rou, who was standing beside her, with a calm expression, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, and asked in a voice as small as a mosquito: "What are you doing, the county lord just left?" ”
Zhuang Rou didn't look at him, but she also responded in a low voice: "I was probably scared to pee my pants, so I was embarrassed to get out of the sedan chair." ”
"......" Lin Fei pursed his lips vigorously, "You're miserable, she's not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
"Oh, that's what I mean." Zhuang Rou laughed meaninglessly and said without hesitation.
The sudden departure of the county lord broke the momentum of everyone when they came, and everyone was a little dazed at this time. The master stood up, coughed, put one hand behind his back, touched his beard with one hand, and spoke slowly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, last night there was a man who robbed the tombs, and because he couldn't find the tombs he wanted to rob, he dug up four of them. Although the fifth one finally found the tomb he wanted, the other tombs were dug up. ”
He mentioned the reason first, and then got to the point, "As soon as we found out, we immediately went to arrest people, but we didn't want the night to be dark and windy, so we let them run away." But rest assured, the bones are still intact, and the burial goods have not been snatched. ”
"Tell everyone to come over, in addition to informing everyone about this matter, and also to ask everyone to re-bury the grave, so it's not good to be exposed."
The master didn't wait for anyone to say anything, and he added: "When we checked the theft of the coffin, we found the same modus operandi of the murderer, whether it was a previous case or an accident, it will be overturned. ”
"Your family was killed by the same person, please rest assured, we will definitely find the real culprit!"
Most of the people who came were subordinates, and whether the master's family was killed or not had nothing to do with them. Besides, I don't dare to show my loyalty now, even the county lord was cut by a knife, and the prince of the world is standing there obviously weaker, who dares to talk nonsense.
And the people from several other families are also waiting for the prince to speak, he is the biggest here! But after waiting for a long time, the prince was just pale, as if the prince had just passed away, and his face was so gloomy that he could drip water.
The master is also waiting for them, as long as they open their mouths and agree, this private grave digging can be overturned.
Everyone can wait, but Zhuang Rou, who is anxious to rest, can't wait, she took two steps forward, looked at everyone with a cold face with her hands, and said in a bad tone: "What are you standing here in a daze, the housekeepers come out and take your family to fill in your own grave." Standing here in a daze one by one, I want the bones to be drenched in the wind and rain! ”
"There is no peace when you die, look at what you all do, move quickly! Otherwise, when the ghost turns into a ghost in the middle of the night to look for you, don't cry wolf in that ghost! ”
Lin Fei glanced at her and slandered, it was obvious that she had dug up other people's graves, and now she is still talking about peace, if there is a ghost in the middle of the night, she will look for her first.
All the family members did not get the master's order, and they were scolded by her like this, and they all looked at the housekeepers.
Zhuang Rou scolded fiercely: "Look at what you see, if you don't do it, you will all go back and carry the sedan chair away." What are useless people carrying over to do, they can't even make the decision to repair the tomb, standing here to watch the excitement and make fun of the people in the tomb! ”
"Why are you still stunned, go quickly!" Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and asked the family to hurry up and repair the grave.
The tools were brought, and the housekeepers were busy under the leadership of the steward, and they also brought masons to repair the tomb, which took a long time.
Zhuang Rou bowed his hand to the master and said to him, and planned to go down the mountain first, and then continue to investigate the case after noon, and now he has to rest.
At this moment, Zhou Zhao suddenly came over and said, "It just so happens that I have something to do, why don't we go back together, or take my sedan chair?" ”
Zhuang Rou looked at him suspiciously, then shook his head, "No, if my brother knew that I was riding in the same sedan chair with you, he would kill you." ”
"What?" Zhou Zhao looked at her dumbfounded, completely unable to figure out if she was dreaming now, why there were always people who looked down on her today and could threaten her casually.
"Shizi, if you want to go with me, then tell me what you know." Zhuang Rou didn't beat around the bush and asked bluntly.
Zhou Zhao's expression changed significantly, and he pretended to be calm and said: "No, I don't know anything, you have found the wrong person." ”
Zhuang Rou looked at him carefully, and said slowly: "Shizi, if this matter has anything to do with you, I think the next target should be you, it's really pitiful that the old prince wants the white-haired person to send the black-haired person." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Zhao took two steps back with a frightened face, flicked his sleeves, and then turned into his soft sedan and refused to come out.
At this time, Lin Fei walked over, "I'll go back with you." ”
"Go back to catch up on sleep? Okay, see you at noon. Zhuang Rou glanced at him, nodded and replied, both of them hadn't slept all night, and it was time to rest.
Lin Fei followed her down the mountain and said with a serious expression: "Shizi's reaction is very strange, even if this matter has nothing to do with him, he should know something." ”
"I have already scared him just now, you go to him in the evening, if you still don't say anything, I will go to the palace and stab him in the evening." Zhuang Rou said lightly.
"What?" Lin Fei looked at her dumbfounded, "How could you ask such a question, you actually want to stab him directly, that's the son of the Virtuous King!" ”
Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and said disapprecitately: "When you ask, are you all gentle?" ”
Lin Fei was silent for a moment, and then said a little sneeringly: "No, sometimes I will scare or move my fists, but the other party is a prince, you can't even ask questions, and you still want to stab him?" ”
"If he stabs him, he will think that the murderer is trying to kill him, so that he will honestly confess what he knows." Zhuang Rou looked sideways at him and smiled, "I don't care what way you usually handle cases, but this is my way." I won't bother you, and when you get down, you go back to sleep and come back tomorrow morning, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you. ”
Hmph, is it exciting?
Lin Fei snorted coldly, "I'll take you to find someone, and you can learn something about the prince of the virtuous king from there." Maybe it's better to find something out of him than if you were to fight and kill all day. ”
Zhuang Rou smiled: "Okay, but you have to move quickly, this is the first time I stayed up late and didn't go home." ”
"When you are arrested, you still want to go home regularly, that's a dream." Lin Fei sneered, he really thought it was too beautiful.
The two went down the mountain and went out of Jingyuan, and did not go back to Douhu County directly, but went to the capital. Under the leadership of Lin Fei, the two turned right in the small alley in the north of the city and arrived at the door of an inconspicuous bookstore.
"Suike Library, the name is good, but the store is a little smaller." Zhuang Rou glanced at the signboard and walked in as she spoke.
Lin Fei walked straight to the counter and said to the young man who was bowing his head to sort out the books inside: "Xiaoyu, what about your shopkeeper, I want to buy a book." ”
The young man raised his head and said with a smile: "Lin Shenzhuo, do you want to buy the three-character scripture or the thousand-character text this time." ”
"Give me the information of the son of King Xian, the more detailed the better, of course, his friends and women's." Zhuang Rou walked out from behind Lin Fei and smiled when she looked at him.
The young man looked at her in a daze, suddenly turned around and ran to the back door, and Zhuang Rou grabbed the collar across the counter, snapped it on the counter, and asked with a smile: "Tong Yu, what do you see me running?" ”
