The early morning after the heavy rain always carries new strength, but Du Nianyu is extremely dissatisfied with such an early morning, thinking of Su Qingcheng's dodge yesterday, his heart is like a lot of gas has gathered, and his heart is throbbing.

Su Qingcheng also had no sleep all night, with a faint cyan color under his eyes, which was obviously caused by not having a good rest. After hurrying out of the study yesterday, he felt that he was finished. Faced with Du Nianyu's soft invitation, he would push her away at the first time...... He obviously made up his mind, but why still couldn't he control himself.

Compared with the other two people's poor spirits, Jiang Cailing is not much better, and the case that has been thinking for a night is always re-reasoned because of incomplete clues. So much so that when the three of them appeared in the main hall together, they all found each other's faint dark circles.

Jiang Cailing glanced sideways at Du Nianyu, who was standing beside Su Qingcheng, and saw that she was wearing a light pink narrow-sleeved dress, her hair was tied in a high bun on the top of her head, different from the gentle dress of the past, and she was dressed like she was going to climb a mountain.

Du Nianyuli was thoughtful, and his eyebrows and eyes were supple and blessed, "The concubine has seen the imperial concubine." ”

"Mrs. Du is going out?" Now that Du Nianyu has spoken, Jiang Cailing can't treat people as air, so she asks casually.

Su Qingcheng, who had not spoken just now, opened his lips to speak, "Today's investigation of the case, Nianyu will also be together, she is too stuffy in the mansion these days." And Nianyu has always been delicate, and there must be some new discoveries. ”

Jiang Cailing admitted that Du Nianyu's brain was indeed smart, and even Emperor Zhaohong once praised her, "Linglong, she really has a delicate heart." ”

Last time, she also made it very clear to Du Nianyu, presumably she would not trouble her in the future, as long as it could be proved that this murder was the conspiracy of the Wang family, then she didn't care what role Du Nianyu played in it, thinking of this, she nodded slightly, without hesitation, "Okay, let's go together." ”

After saying this, he strode away with He Xiaoxiao and walked along the bluestone road to the gate of the mansion. Su Qingcheng looked at the back of the leaving, and secretly said to himself in his heart: You did the right thing, you must avoid the opportunity to be alone with her in the future.

Yes, it was he who proposed to take Du Nianyu with him, firstly, because he felt guilty for ignoring her when he came in, and secondly, because last night's refusal made him feel the need to completely avoid the opportunity to be alone with Jiang Cailing.

"Qingcheng, what's wrong with you? Aren't we leaving? ”

"Nothing." Su Qingcheng raised his hand and rubbed the top of Du Nianyu's head, and a gentle smile hooked up at the corner of his lips, "Nianyu, if you think the scene is a little scary, don't force yourself, I will let Yanyun send you back." ”

Du Nianyu shook his head and chuckled, "You always think of me so softly, if it weren't for the root of the disease, I could still protect you like I did at the beginning." ”

Thinking of the petite figure who was protected in front of him eleven years ago, if she hadn't rushed in front of him at that time, the stone would have hit his eyes, thinking of this, his heart softened, and he walked towards the door with Du Nianyu in his arms.

The royal carriage is very spacious and stable, even if you sit three people, you will not feel any crowded, and there are fruits and tea on the table.

Jiang Cailing's mind was full of cases, so she naturally didn't notice the subtle embarrassment between Su Qingcheng and Du Nianyu. I got up late in the morning and didn't have time to eat, so I raised my hand to pick up the apple on the desk and ate it, and the crisp sound of nibbling apples echoed in the carriage.

Du Nianyu narrowed her eyes and carefully watched Jiang Cailing's movements. Most ordinary people eat apples in circles and bites, but Jiang Cailing is not, she eats apples from the top, and will bite the bottom half when the first half is finished.

She really didn't guess wrong, the person in front of her was Jiang Cailing.

"Didn't you eat in the morning?" Su Qingcheng's voice sounded, and there was a faint concern in it.

"I'm up late tonight." Jiang Cailing lowered her head and ate the last piece of pulp, raised her eyes and said to Su Qingcheng, "Is the identity of the deceased confirmed, does the Eighth Prince mean to continue to block the news?" ”

"It's still under investigation, and I believe there will be clues soon. The place where this happened is really special, and if the father knows about it, it will inevitably be reprimanded. ”

"However, if this matter is really the ghost of the Wang family, even if the news is completely blocked, Emperor Chu will know about it." Jiang Cailing seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and her eyes darkened, "The purpose of the Wang family this time is to let the East Palace regain the favor of the Chu Emperor, and the matter can't be hidden, with the suspicious character of the Chu Emperor, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as a reprimand." ”

Su Qingcheng also nodded, and his amber eyes were full of solemnity, "Unless the murderer is caught before the Wang family exposes this matter." ”

The wheels were bursting, and soon they arrived at the post house.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the eight princes all walked quickly in front of Su Qingcheng, and said excitedly without caring about greetings, "Tenth brother, there is a new discovery, we found a secret grid in the car of Wang Xiaoer, who delivered vegetables, at present, Wang Xiaoer does not admit it, but blood stains were found in the dark grid, and the murderer is undoubtedly Wang Xiaoer!" ”

Su Qingcheng frowned, why didn't he dismantle this kind of thing after transporting the corpse, and he knew that the post house would search a large area after discovering the deceased, and even brought a car with a secret grid to deliver food, which was not possible at all.

looked back at Jiang Cailing, and sure enough, he saw that Jiang Cailing also had the same cautious and suspicious look in his eyes.

"Starling, I need to ask this Wang Xiaoer......

"There's no need to interrogate, it must be him, I'll go and tell my father in a while, we found the real culprit so quickly, the merits and demerits are offset, and my father won't be angry."

Su Qingcheng raised his hand to stop Luan Ziyi, "Starling, it's better for us to be cautious, if this matter is simply a trick by some people, it will be too late for us to regret it." ”

When Luan Ziyi heard this, she waved her hand indifferently, "Whatever you want, the murderer must be him anyway." I entered the palace to tell my father, but eighth brother, although this murderer was found for my brother, I will also say a few words to you in front of my father. ”

With that, he left the post house with a small fan.

"Pour ice water on me, I can't believe that I can't open his mouth!"

Wang Xiaoer was locked up in the firewood room of the post house, and as soon as they reached the door, they heard such a voice, and when they entered, a man in cloth clothes on the haystack passed out on the ground, his face was bruised, and he was obviously subjected to severe interrogation.

When the very arrogant head of the guard saw Su Qingcheng, his face changed to a flattering smile, and he groveled and said, "Why did His Royal Highness Ten come here, the gray firewood room is not suitable for a noble person like you, you go to the private room to rest first, and your subordinates will definitely ask Wang Xiaoer's criminal behavior one by one!" ”

"I think you're clearly tortured to extract confessions." Jiang Cailing's red lips raised and let out a soft snort.

"Niangniang misunderstood, and her subordinates also wanted to catch the real murderer earlier."

After looking around, Jiang Cailing saw a place, and her black pupils shrank sharply, as if she had recalled some painful memories.

Walked to a table, there were all kinds of torture instruments on it, picked up a curtain of silver needles, took out the thickest and longest silver needle from it and put it in front of the guard's eyes, red lips raised a scene arc, "Punches and kicks will leave marks, but it will make people doubt the authenticity of the confession, it is better to use this, it is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart, this needle is pierced in the nails, even if the bones are hard, people can't bear it." ”

The guard immediately smiled, went to catch the silver needle with both hands, and complimented in his mouth: "Niangniang, this is a good way, my subordinates will try it...... Yes! Pain! ”

After a scream, the guard covered his finger that had been pricked by the needle, and the long silver needle passed through the index finger entirely, and the blood flowed down the silver needle and fell to the ground dripping. Du Nianyu screamed in surprise and hurriedly buried his face in Su Qingcheng's arms.

Su Qingcheng was also very surprised, since she realized that she had never seen Jiang Cailing so full of anger.

Jiang Cailing raised her hand and pulled out the silver needle, the needle was originally a big head and a thin tail, she pinched the tip of the needle to pull out the silver needle, when the big head crossed the wound again, the pain was not inferior to the initial pain. Cold sweat broke out on the guard's forehead, and he fell to the ground with a pale face, his eyes were about to pop out in pain, "Niangniang...... Why are you doing that? ”

"Why?" Jiang Cailing threw away the blood-stained silver needle in disgust, and looked at the interrogators in the room with cold eyebrows, more ruthless than ever, exuding a powerful aura all around her body, "This matter will definitely tell Your Majesty the result in the end, if Wang Xiaoer is not the murderer, but because of your questioning and admitting the crime, then you are all guilty of bullying the king!" If you want to die, don't drag us up and down the Ten Princes' Mansion! ”

Everyone was in an uproar, they only wanted to find the murderer and behave in front of the Eighth Prince, but they neglected this issue.

"This time it's not an example, you guys go out first!"

"Yes."

After the room left, the firewood room was much quieter. Jiang Cailing stabilized her mind, and when she saw those torture instruments just now, she couldn't help but recall everything she had suffered in Jing Zhaoyin's cell last time.

If it weren't for Gu Jiming's timely appearance, she didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her.

The hand in the sleeve cage trembled uncontrollably, and the excitement could not be recovered for a while, Jiang Cailing turned her back and didn't want everyone to see her emotionally out of control, so she tried her best to speak in a steady breath and said: "Ah Xiao, Yanyun, Qingshan, Yumei, the four of you are watching outside, you can't let anyone get close to here, if there is anything abnormal, come and report it immediately, understand?" ”

The first three people had no objections, but Yumei frowned, put her hand on Du Nianyu's arm, and said in her sharp voice: "Our lady is weak, and the slave must follow her wife to take care of her." ”

Yanyun raised her eyebrows, this Yumei is really bold, is it possible not to see Jiang Cailing is angry? With a smile on his lips, he bumped Qingshan with his shoulder, signaling him to watch a good show.

I saw Jiang Cailing turn her head to meet Yumei's gaze, her eyes were cold, "Then you will take your wife and roll outside together." ”

Su Qingcheng didn't say a word, because he seemed to know the reason why Jiang Cailing was so abnormal......
