Chapter 006: Lord Zhizhou's heart disease
After turning around, her voice stopped abruptly, and three steps away, there was a person standing with a sword in her arms, towering like a mountain, with a light face, and she didn't know when she came.
Du gradually felt his gaze and looked over. However, he only looked at it for a moment, then bowed his jaw and walked away.
Changying saw him at the inn yesterday, and he was indeed afraid that he would bring out the fact that he had seen her in the tavern, but when he asked later, this concern was overcome.
thought that he would have to talk to him again this time, and he didn't want him to leave without saying a word, but it surprised her.
Zi Yan said: "Won't this Du guard be a little arrogant?" ”
Changying thinks he's more than arrogant? It's just arrogant.
It's just a little thing, and you don't have to dwell on it.
"I heard that he and Yang Chan were the guards who saved Cheng Xiaolai a few months ago. Go and ask, who are the guards on duty tonight? ”
Not to mention that she almost forgot to be vigilant, the martial arts of this surnamed Du and surnamed Yang are not weak, although they are just a guard, and they did not play a big role in their previous lives.
But after all, she can't help but take precautions, if not anything else, at least she has to prevent them from appearing to disrupt her plans.
Back in Changyunxuan, everyone came, she told Shaoqing to watch the wind, then closed the door and put on the beams, and climbed out from the roof.
Cheng Xiao is a small governor, and he is in office, so it is impossible for him to have a group of servants around him, and there are not many people in the house.
Although he has money, it is difficult to hire a strong guard, generally speaking, it is almost enough to be able to fight and defeat two ordinary big men.
As for Du Yang, she hasn't tried her skills yet, but at this moment, Yang Chan has been on duty all night and has gone back to the room to make up for sleep, and Du Yan has already gone to the front yard, so she wants to sneak into the main courtyard, there is no difficulty.
According to records, most of the people killed that night were in the bedrooms, and only Cheng Xiao was halfway from the bedroom to the study.
If nothing has changed, there will be no change tonight.
They are small in staff, and if they want to succeed, they can only prepare early. Since the man was killed in the house, let him go into the house.
The machine includes the message or something is too mysterious, and it is impossible to set it up well in a short period of time. Moreover, even if it is set up, they have to operate it themselves.
So just survey the location where they might have been killed, and then create a convenient spot nearby.
She quietly walked away against the eaves, and at the same time, in the small river in the city, Cheng Xiao was standing on the bow of the Wupeng boat watching the people on both sides of the river frolic and cheer.
After the boat crossed the five bridges, Cheng Xiao was finally a little absent-minded and ordered the boatman to dock.
"Why are you leaving?" Mrs. Cheng, who was carrying flowers with the neighboring boat, was not yet happy.
Seeing that Cheng Xiao was silent, Mrs. Cheng picked two at random and asked the maid to tie it up.
Cheng Xiao got on the sedan chair, looked at the crowd surging outside the sedan chair, and the kindness of Fang Cai disappeared, and a little gloomy color was added between his eyebrows.
He really didn't feel very sure.
Of course, part of this unsteadiness comes from Shen Changying, but part of it comes from what only he knows.
Although several months have passed since Chen Tingchen's hanging, the aftermath is still unsettled.
A while ago, Luo Yuan, his brother-in-law who was a servant of the Ministry of Officials, suddenly wrote again, which made him feel not so solid for a while now.
Luo Yuan is quite good at drilling, and he has been very good at mixing in the DPRK and China in recent years.
Because of this in-law relationship, Cheng Xiao has indeed received a lot of care from him, but there has never been a time when his tone is as serious as an order, he doesn't know what happened in the capital? What do these things have to do with him?
Shen Changying is a small vice president, and she is a yellow-haired girl in terms of qualifications, so he didn't have to be so hostile to her appearance.
But with Luo Yuan's words, he became unsteady.
She is a person from Nankangwei, Tan Shao, the chief soldier of Nankangwei, who used to be an old subordinate of Guangweihou.
Was he really just afraid that she would catch him for being greedy or derelict in his duties?
Not. In addition to the greed for ink and dereliction of duty, there are too many things that do not see the light.
If these things fall into Tan Shao's ears - with the current situation, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not find out something that should not be done.
So even if she stayed in Changxing for a quarter of an hour, it would make him uneasy, and she would rather she blackmail.
And the grand occasion of today's Flower Dynasty Festival made him a little more unsteady.
A month ago, Luo Yuan promised in his letter that the people who came to Changxing have not yet come, and today they all came out, but Shen Changying was left in the mansion, how could he rest assured?
"Why is it so slow?"
As soon as he thought a lot, he felt a little irritable in his heart, and the folding fan in his hand also knocked on the sedan bar.
After Changying went to the room of Cheng Xiao and his wife, she went to all the rooms, including the Tongzhi family of three.
Finally, she came to the corridor where Cheng Xiao was killed.
In her previous life, the archives recorded by the Huzhou Mansion had made a simple description of everyone's death posture and environment, and now she was standing under the pillar of Cheng Xiao's corpse, looking around.
Although the style of the house in Jiangnan is different from that of the Beijing Division, the general manager of the government also said that it is quite decent, Cheng Xiao and his wife live in the main courtyard of Sanjin, and the study is in the Zhifeng Hall in the west.
From the main courtyard to the Zhifeng Hall, you have to cross a section of corridor about twenty or thirty zhang long, and then pass through the screen door of the west courtyard, and then pass through a corridor of about ten zhang.
The record says that Cheng Xiao was the only one who died outside the bedroom, which is one of the places where Chang Ying is puzzled by the case.
At the time of the crime, it was between the time of the child and the time of the ugly, and at this time, Cheng Xiao should have gone to bed anyway.
But when he was found, he was still wearing a complete robe, which at least shows that Cheng Xiao did not go to bed at that time, so what is the reason why he didn't sleep in the middle of the night?
The exact location of his body was on the verandah where the screen door came, so was he going to go to the study, or from the study back to the bedroom?
"Let's make a pot of ginseng tea."
Suddenly there was a sound from the partition wall, and her eyes flashed slightly, and she jumped up and stepped on the trunk of the tree to climb the treetops.
Cheng Xiao walked in quickly, stopped at the screen door and looked back, and then asked the servant next to him: "Has anyone ever come in?" ”
Hu Cong hesitated for a moment: "The little one has been here since the adults went out, and they didn't see anyone coming in." ”
Cheng Xiaoluo stood up and asked again, "What about General Shen?" ”
"General Shen and Feng Gongzi are reading the file in the room."
Cheng Xiao turned his head and glanced in the direction of Chang Yunxuan, and walked towards Zhifeng Hall.
Changying waited until the trees came down when the wind was calm, and walked out of the courtyard to ponder for a while before returning to the house.
Cheng Xiao's caution and precautions against her exceeded her expectations, this is no longer like the performance of a person who is just afraid of being ripped off. In the face of this prudence, the hypocrisy and flattery he had shown before now looked as if he was deliberately concealing his original intentions.
So what is he guarding against?
