This is an ear room, full of all kinds of debris, and there is a low collapse near the window, covered with a thick layer of dust.

At this time, the dust is deep and shallow, which looks very messy, and is the trace of human movement, or sitting or lying or squatting, as if it were a trapped beast fight.

Tang Tongzhang stared at a certain place, and suddenly screamed "ah", his voice was full of horror, and everyone looked at it, and suddenly felt cold on his spine.

On the edge of the couch stood a pair of severed hands, the wrists were very slender, and the hemp rope was firmly entangled, the hemp rope had been soaked in blood to a dark brown, and the blood slowly dripped on the ground, and the ground was sticky.

Shen Zetang subconsciously wanted to hide Shun Yu behind his back, but he heard her asking Shen Rong: "You tied the hemp rope?" ”

Shen Rong hummed lowly, he blamed himself very much, all written on his face.

"This is my little five's hand ......." Tang Tongzhang took two steps back, his voice was hoarse like a crow, his eyes were round, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"How so?" Shen Zetang asked while looking at the hands, which were pale due to blood loss, with a black blue on the left hand and a red mole on the middle finger of his right hand...... But because of this?

Tang Tongzhang was headed, and he couldn't say a word.

Shen Zetang stepped forward, raised his right hand and frowned for a while, before reassuring him and said: "Lord Tang, don't be anxious, this is not Miss Tang's hand, the fifth girl has been holding a sword for a long time, and the place where the thumb and index finger are close is easy to grind out thick calluses, and the second joint of the index finger of this hand has a hard callus, which shows that the commonly used weapon is a knife." As for this red mole....... “

He paused, pinched and pushed with his thumb, and the red mole shifted out of place, like blood beads coagulated, or deliberately pointed rouge, just to deliberately tease people.

Shun Yu interjected and came in: "That day, I saw the maid next to Miss Tang, holding a jade-handled short knife in her hand, and then looking at the dark green lump on the left hand, it should have been unintentionally hit by Commander Shen when he threw out his official position." "Obviously, this is a pair of severed hands of the maid Xiangyu.

Tang Tongzhang breathed a sigh of relief, his face gradually eased from gray defeat, Shen Zetang turned to look at Shen Rong, Shen Rong stepped forward and knelt down and said: "When the five drums were handed over, the sky was a little bright, and I heard someone knocking on the door of the courtyard, so I went to see an old woman, claiming to be the steward in the kitchen, and came to ask Lord Shen what he could not doo, whether it was light or greasy, whether he wanted to eat southern rice or eat north, chirped crookedly for a while, and his subordinates only said that the old women were mostly snorted, and they didn't care too much, and when they had to push the door and mention people, it was actually this situation...... It was caused by the negligence of his subordinates, and Lord Shen was asked to punish him. “

Shen Huan hurriedly came in at this time: "There is a dishwashing woman in the kitchen, who was summoned in the day before yesterday, but now there is no one. ”

Tang Tongzhang heard the fog, and finally couldn't help asking: "What did Xiangyu do that would be locked up here by Lord Shen?" “

Shen Zetang avoided Tang Jing, and only briefly recounted his chance encounter with Xiangyu last night, and Tang Tongzhang frowned when he heard it: "That girl is really weird in this way." “

Another warden came to spread the word, and the officials of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division and the Political Department had gathered in the main hall, just waiting for Shen Tang and the two adults to pass.

Shen Zetang walked out, his expression was calm, and he couldn't refute it: "Lord Tang went to see the main hall with this official, and you can point to your subordinates to write files and file cases for the disappearance of Miss Tang and Xiangyu, but the investigation of account books and case books is a top priority, and the most important thing in the job must not be delayed at all." “

Tang Tongzhang had no choice but to press his heart full of love for his daughter, and followed him silently with a stiff face.

Shun Yu tugged on Shen Zetang's sleeve, saw him come over as he wished, and hurriedly whispered: "I can't enter the main hall now as a woman, Xiangyu has been taken out of the house for five drums, and the sky is bright, maybe there are shop guys around to see it, anyway, there is nothing to do, I want to check." “

Shen Zetang was silent for a while, his finger bones brushed her sideburns that were blown away by the spring breeze, thin and soft, but his temperament was not like it, but he couldn't like it.

"Okay, be careful yourself." I called Shen Huan and Shen Rong to come and let them follow and protect them, but Shun Yu refused, saying that this was too eye-catching, just let Shen Huan go with him.

When Shun Yu and Shen Huan turned around the corridor and didn't see their backs, Shen Rong stepped forward to speak, but was stopped by Shen Zetang waving his hand, he said: "You follow behind them, don't let me notice." ”

Shen Rong hurriedly took the order to retreat, and Shen Zetang rushed to the front hall with Tang Tongzhang and did not mention it again.

............................

Shun Yu pulled a blue scarf and wore a jade-colored cocoon silk with embroidered flowers, Shen Huan was relieved to see that he finally put on men's clothes.

is obviously a little scholar, pretending to be a girl, just like the real thing, which always feels weird.

"You're the best looking this way." What he said came from the bottom of his heart, Shun Yu glared at him, this person doesn't know what it looks like.

Nor from the front door of Ying Tianfu, but around the backyard there is a door through the street, the doorkeeper pulled the latch, out is a Vermilion Bird Alley, lonely, only the alley stands a plain village girl, carrying a bamboo basket full of newly picked flowers, Wu Nong's soft voice is sweet.

Out of the alley is Junyi Bridge, the bridgehead is populated, the people in the south of the Yangtze River have the custom of exploring spring, it is the spring in March, the sedan horses out of the city are endless.

After Shun Yu and Shen Huan got off the bridge, they walked along the Gaotou Street on the right, and when they came to the end, they were the main gate of Yingtianfu.

On the left side of Gaotou Street, there are small households living in small households, there is a shrine on the right side, the incense is flourishing, there is an old grandmother who is trembling and kneeling slightly, and then there are shops in it, there are Liujia Pharmacy, the ugly mother-in-law meat pie shop, the sister goose egg powder rouge shop, and the selling Lanpu bamboo mats, pen and ink calligraphy and painting, saddle bridle bow and sword and all kinds of fragrant candy preserved food, etc., Mo Dao Street is not long, but there is everything.

Shun Yu entered the pen and ink calligraphy and painting shop, and looked at a corner of more than ten square inkstones, the carving skills were particularly delicate and exquisite, and there were two ink blocks next to it.

This is the closest to the front door of Ying Tianfu, the guy got up from the chair with a yawn, greeted him and asked, "This master wants to buy an inkstone?" Or is it a block of ink? The ink blocks we have here include pine smoke ink and oil smoke ink, the oil smoke ink is shiny and suitable for writing, and the pine smoke ink is more suitable for painting and ........ “

Shun Yu interrupted him and said with a smile: "I want to ask you about something." “

The gang billed a few words, but when they heard that she had no intention of buying or selling, their faces suddenly turned pale, and they said coldly: "I am here to welcome guests from the north and south, and send people away to tea and cool, I don't know anything." “

Shun Yu cheekily asked: "You are the closest to the door of Ying Tianfu here, I just want to ask about something that happened in the morning." “

The guy was even more impatient: "The people don't say anything, we and other small people just want to live in peace, if you don't have what you want to buy, please go." “

"Who said they wouldn't buy it?" Shen Huan grinned and put one hand on his shoulder, leaned closer to his ear for a few words, and asked, "Is there any?" ”

The guy showed a smile that could only be understood, and he was much friendlier: "Uncle, how could it not be!" ”

Shen Huan took out a money bag from his sleeve, he felt heavy when he looked at it, and he said in his hand: "I'll buy it with double the silver, and I'll give you an extra five taels of silver." Then he pointed at Shun Yu: "What does he ask you, you can know that you can only do what you say." ”
