Chapter Twenty-Nine: Porcelain Dolls
After eating, Chu Xia, the little county king, lay on the rocking chair under the peach blossom tree to eat, and suddenly jumped down from the roof alone, knelt down on one knee and said: "County King, Zhuang Rou has entered the princess's mansion. ”
"Are they so sure that Xu Yiheng committed the case?" Chu Xia asked casually.
Yang Qing didn't speak, his task was to investigate for the little county king, and report what he saw truthfully, and it was not his turn to say the extra words.
The master stood beside him, touched his beard again, and said, "King Jun, this case involves a lot, if you want to intervene, it's still too late." That Zhuang Rou didn't seem to know how to stop, and the case was getting bigger and bigger the more she investigated. ”
"Lin Fei was arrested by the people of the princess's mansion, but he invited her in, and he really has some skills." Chu Xia said with a smile.
"The king of the county, she also beat the steward of the princess of Pingrui arranged by the Xianwang Mansion......" Yang Qing told everything he saw, and the little king of the county was used as a shield by pulling the banner, and he also said it clearly.
Chu Xia didn't speak after hearing this, and only said after a while: "This guy ...... I can't be a fox and a tiger, and she does a better job than me when it comes to fighting evil slaves like this. Who's the hell? ”
The master asked cautiously, "King Jun, do you want to take care of her?" ”
"No, let her go. I'm here to see how much she can do, and I won't protect her if it gets big anyway. Chu Xia said with a smile, "Tell me to go down, this king will have a barbecue in the evening, and I'll prepare it." ”
As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that he thought that he might be disturbed at night, so it was better to eat barbecue and so on.
Zhuang Rou followed Liu Han through a large garden, and then went around a winding path, and walked through the three gardens for a long time before he came to a courtyard full of peach blossoms.
There was a small room in the flowers, and the sound of piano music came from inside, and the peach blossom petals fell with the breeze, and even the soil on the ground was dyed orange because of the too many petals in the setting sun.
"Princess Pingrui is very fond of flowering trees, and she is gentle and merciful to all things, and she will be sad when she sees the flowers falling. When the flowers are gone, the next person will transplant all the trees to ensure that the flowers of the four seasons will last forever. Liu Han saw Zhuang Rou looking up at the peach blossom tree, so he spoke.
"The princess is a little delicate, please be gentle with her."
Zhuang Rou was stunned, and looked at him with some puzzlement, no matter how human the princess is, how can she be scared half to death if she is louder?
Feeling that Liu Han was making a fuss in her heart, and the princess was too arrogant, she followed Liu Han to the front of the house. At this time, it was not yet dark, but the lights were lit in the house, and the bamboo curtains had been pulled down, and the light came out through the cracks in the curtains, making people feel that it was rude to go in and disturb.
"Princess, the man has arrived." Liu Han said respectfully at the bamboo curtain.
The woman inside whispered, "Let her in." ”
"Yes." Liu Han rolled up a bamboo curtain, and then signaled Zhuang Rou to enter, and this was the entrance.
You're really going to get by......
Zhuang Rou looked at the house, there was not even a wall, it was all covered with bamboo curtains. Except for the fact that it is a little cold in winter, it is best to pull up and enjoy the scenery on weekdays.
"That bothered." She took off her shoes and walked in, and saw that there were only three people sitting on the floor in the spacious room.
A girl with long hair lightly tied into some peach blossoms, only sixteen or seventeen years old delicate like a porcelain doll, leaning on the cushion and looking back.
And there is a pair of twin maids opposite her, the two of them look exactly the same, if it weren't for the difference in the color of the clothes they wore, they couldn't tell who was who.
The one in green was playing the piano, and the one in yellow was making tea, all serving the porcelain doll-like girl.
Zhuang Rou saluted the girl and said, "I have seen the princess in my humble position, I wish the princess Jin'an." ”
"I heard that you were sent by Brother Chu, I don't know what happened?" Princess Pingrui asked softly, and there was no sterility in her demeanor, but more like a pampered and simple lady.
Looking at her, Zhuang Rou understood why Qiu Niang was so unpopular, such a princess without royal style was a good person.
Zhuang Rou said, "Princess, I'm here for the people who collided with you before. I don't know how he ran into you, made you so angry, and locked him up. ”
"The man who rushed me?" Princess Pingrui was stunned, and looked at the red-clothed maid a little blankly, "Red marriage, is there such a thing?" ”
Hongyu put down the tea set and responded respectfully: "Princess, someone has been staying outside the door at noon, and Qiu Niang took him down, because it is not an important matter, so she did not tell the princess." ”
"I see." Princess Pingrui nodded suddenly, looked at Zhuang Rou and smiled gently, "This should be a misunderstanding, Qiu Niang is also for my good, since she is Brother Chu's person, she will naturally let him leave immediately." ”
What kind of collision princess, she was caught just lingering at the door for too long, and I don't know if she was beaten.
This princess is really idle, she doesn't have to care about anything, and she lets the people in the house mess around like this.
Zhuang Rou hugged her fists and thanked the princess, and then continued to ask: "Princess, I am still here for the sake of Xu Yuma. ”
As soon as Princess Pingrui heard Xu Yuma, her cheeks turned red, and she was so shy that she covered her face with her hand, and said with a happy and shy face: "I don't know what happened, but I let you find me here." ”
"For the sake of a murder case, Xu Juma is now very suspicious, but the little county king thinks that he may be innocent, so if you want to find out, it's best not to wronged the princess and make the princess feel sad." Zhuang Rou has omitted a lot of tough words, and chose the most peaceful one, I just hope that this princess will not cry immediately.
Princess Pingrui was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in shock, and even the maid who played the piano stopped and pressed her hands on the strings.
"Murder!" Princess Pingrui only felt flustered, her waist softened suddenly, and she leaned on the mat in disbelief.
Zhuang Rou's gaze swept over the faces of the three people, and then said slowly: "It's just a suspicion, but because it's a big case, it will take three days to solve the case." If there is no other evidence, tomorrow will pass, and I will have to ask the master to go to the yamen. ”
Princess Pingrui put her hands on her chest, holding back her tears and panting vigorously, and asked with difficulty: "I don't know, what is the case?" ”
"Serial murder case, if the public can bear it, then I will talk about it in detail." Zhuang Rou preached calmly.
"I'll listen!" Princess Pingrui was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
Zhuang Rou told the case again, except for some things that really can't be said, almost to identify Xu Yuma, who always appears so coincidentally, as the murderer.
Princess Pingrui finally heard that tears flowed down her eyes, she kept holding her chest, panting vigorously, and seemed to be so excited that she couldn't breathe, "No! It can't be a person who kills constantly, he can't kill people at all. ”
The two maids hurriedly helped her, took out a medicine bottle, poured out a pill from it and gave her a pill, and kept stroking her chest to help her breathe.
Sure enough, the body is slender, this is too weak, and I won't be excited to death with heart palpitations when I say this, right?
Zhuang Rou looked at her in surprise, she was not a lady like jade, she could be angry just by talking.
"It's not the horse master who did it, it's really not him, you found the wrong person!" Princess Pingrui breathed a sigh of relief, and kept retorting.
"And who does the princess think would have done this?" Zhuang Rou asked suddenly.
Princess Pingrui was stunned for a moment, then stroked her chest and closed her eyes, silently shedding tears, "I don't know, please tell Brother Chu, it's really not the horse's doing." ”
Zhuang Rou nodded and said: "The little county king doesn't believe it, but if his subordinates can't find other people, then they can only arrest the horse master and send the evidence to the little county king for a trial of the case." ”
"Now the evidence is still in my hands, Xu Yuma's suspicion is indeed very large, but there is a person who is also suspicious. In a day and two nights, I can still check on him, and when I have the evidence, I can clear my name. ”
Princess Pingrui suddenly asked with hope, "Who is that person?" ”
Probably finding that she was too positive, she lowered her head in embarrassment and said again in a soft voice: "I don't know if you can tell me who that person is?" ”
"Of course you can, that person is Zhou Zhao, the son of King Xian. When he knew that the people had all died from the same person, he looked very flustered and looked very problematic. After leaving the princess, I will go to the Xian Wang's Mansion, and the case must be about to be solved. ”
As soon as Zhou Zhao's name was spoken, Princess Pingrui's expression froze, as if she had been greatly stimulated, and she was completely stunned on the spot.
Zhuang Rou saw that she was like this, so she gave her leave, "The matter has been told to the princess, and the subordinates are also leaving, while it is still early, I have to go to the Xianwang Mansion again." ”
"Green marriage, help me send off a guest." Princess Pingrui was held in her arms by Hongyu, looking at her weakly, and she didn't even have the strength to wave her hand.
"Subordinate farewell." Zhuang Rou stood up, and as soon as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, looked back at Princess Pingrui and said, "Princess, when I was waiting at the door just now, I saw a soft sedan chair that seemed to be coming to the princess's mansion. For some reason, when he saw me, he ran away with him, and if he disturbed the princess's reception, it would be a subordinate's sin. ”
Princess Pingrui didn't seem to hear it, but she leaned weakly on the red marriage, still panting vigorously.
Zhuang Rou didn't bother anymore, rolled up the bamboo curtain and exited the house, put on her shoes and followed the green marriage out.
She looked at the peach blossoms in the garden, reached out to catch a petal, smiled and said, "The princess is really lovely, just take care of your body." ”
"This way, please." Lu Marriage didn't answer her words, but just led her to the courtyard gate, and the two were speechless all the way to the door, and Liu Han took over the work of sending her out.
Zhuang Rou walked out of the princess's mansion, and sure enough, she saw that Lin Fei was already standing at the door, waiting for her to leave together.
"The injury is not light, why don't you fight back?" Looking at his bruised face, Zhuang Rou tilted his head and asked.
Lin Fei glanced at her and said angrily: "It's not a big deal, it doesn't hurt at all." ”
Zhuang Rou looked back at Liu Han, who was still standing at the door, and said with a smile: "I am partly responsible for this matter, knowing that you are so stupid, I shouldn't have let you come here to wait for me first." Don't worry, I will get justice for you for this sin. ”
"Even if it's the princess's mansion, you can't beat you at will like this, the person I bully can't be touched by others."
