"Coming back?" Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, realizing that things were not developing in the direction he had guessed, and looked at Liu Yingying and lowered her head, and asked, "Why don't the two of you play the Lantern Festival together?" "It's a very romantic date!

Ouyang Yu only said: "It's boring, it's better to read more books if you have such leisure." ”

Liu Yingying's face sank, and she was slightly unhappy in her heart, but she remembered that Ouyang Yu had always had such an attitude towards her, and she didn't feel inappropriate until she ...... When she saw the Seventh Prince personally accompanying Chen Gongzi for a wandering around.

Don't...... Liu Yingying's face turned pale, and she thought of a possibility that she had never thought of, and suddenly looked up at Chen Ling. Chen Ling was a little furious by her, and couldn't help asking, "Miss Liu?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. "How is that possible? I must have thought too much. Liu Yingying turned her face and tried her best to comfort herself.

At this moment, Ju'er suddenly came over: "Master, there is a woman outside the door who asks to see her, saying that she is Mother Li of Fenghualou." ”

Chen Ling's right eye jumped: "Take her to my study." ”

After speaking, Chen Ling bowed to Ouyang Yu, turned around and walked towards the study.

Mother Li was taken to the study, and when she saw Chen Ling, the wrinkles on her round face deepened: "Owner, something happened to Fenghualou!" …… A few days ago, a rich boy came to the royal city, and he bought the first night of the good girl of the water charm at a high price, but he didn't expect him to die in the building! The girl is now in prison, and the people of the government have asked Fenghualou to close the door, and they must all review it and arrest the murderer...... Isn't this just the collapse of Fenghualou! ”

Chen Ling frowned: "Have you been to see the water charm girl?" How to say? ”

"The slave family has gone to see it." Mother Li told everything she knew, "Shui Mei said that she didn't know either, the two of them were having a spring supper, and the person suddenly foamed at the mouth, and died violently before he could call someone, and died directly on her body. ”

Chen Ling frowned: "What did the people in the yamen find out?" ”

Mother Li shook her head: "When the slave family came out, they hadn't found any clues. It's just that this matter is related to the opening of Fenghualou, so I came over to ask the owner what it meant. ”

"I'll go over and see for myself." Chen Ling made this decision and asked Ju'er to prepare to pack her luggage.

She told Ouyang Yu and Liu Yingying about it again, and let the two of them decide to stay. Chen Ling went to Zheling, and Ouyang naturally followed. And Ouyang Yu went, and Liu Yingying naturally followed.

So the group set off in a mighty way and returned to Zheling.

Sending Ouyang Yu and Liu Yingying away, Chen Ling came to Fenghualou, and watched the two catchers watching at the door, as if they were afraid that the people inside would escape, and walked over, and was stopped as expected.

She spoke: "I'm the owner of Fenghualou, if something happens, can't I go in?" ”

She has been in a lawsuit, and she still knows these catches. It's just that there is no order from Xu Shui's case, and they can't let people go, just to say: "This matter needs to be learned by the Lord Fu before he can enter." ”

Chen Ling immediately asked someone to inform Xu Shui's case, but it didn't take long for him to see Xu Shui's case come over in person, and said politely: "Chen Gongzi, although this official believes in your person, but this is your property, if you go in like this, you may be gossiped about, it is better to let this official accompany you in, and there are idle people who testify that they can't say anything." ”

Chen Ling also made a gesture, and reluctantly withdrew a smile: "Then there will be Lord Lao Zhifu." ”

As soon as she entered, she saw that the girls in the Fenghua Building were all looking at her, all looking pitiful. Their deed of sale is still in Chen Ling's hands, without Fenghualou, if they are sold...... Wouldn't it be even worse? Thinking like this, they all hope that Fenghualou can exist, although they have betrayed their hue and body, they also have no worries about food.

"Lord Prefect, since you are here, it is better to inform you of the whole matter, and it is better to make a judgment below."

Seeing her say this, Xu Shui's case also directly told the whole story in chronological order: "Yesterday, the official invited a servant from Zhuocheng to come over for an autopsy, and found that he was poisoned by arsenic and died violently, but he didn't find arsenic in Shui Mei's room. ”

"Where's the cup?" Chen Ling asked.

Xu Shui's case replied: "The quilts in Shui Mei's room were inspected on the same day, and no traces of arsenic were found, and the official inspected all the quilts in Fenghualou, and no traces of arsenic were found. Instead, under the tree in the backyard of the Fenghua Building, I turned over a broken teacup. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ling looked at Mother Li behind them and asked, "In Fenghualou, have you always buried broken teacups in the backyard?" ”

Mother Li shook her head and said, "There has never been, and I don't know where Lord Xu's teacup was found." ”

"It's under the pomegranate tree." As he spoke, Xu Shuixin walked to the backyard, and there was indeed a plum tree in the backyard, and there was a fluffy soil under the plum tree, which was turned over at a glance.

Chen Ling touched the soil with his hands, picked up a piece and asked Li's mother to pour water into it, then pour out the muddy water, and then let people feed the water to a live chicken in the courtyard. Soon after, the chicken was foaming at the mouth and died.

Chen Chenling looked at Xu Shui's case: "Is this how the rich son died?" ”

"Yes." Xu Shui's case nodded, and then said, "This matter was deliberately done by someone in the Fenghua Building, in order to find out the truth, the official asked Chen Gongzi to close this Fenghua Building for a few days, and then I really want to open it again after it is clarified." Otherwise...... The people were panicked, and the loss to Chen Gongzi was even greater. ”

Chen Ling listened to his words, but there was some truth. If you can't find out who the murderer is, this Fenghualou can't give an explanation, and if you can't give an explanation, it will inevitably cause panic among the people. No one wants to soak a chick and punch herself in.

After a few thoughts, Chen Ling said solemnly: "I will suspend business for ten days, I hope that the prefect will be able to catch the murderer and give Fenghualou and the deceased an explanation." After all, if you can't catch a dangerous person for a day, you can't get rid of the danger for a day. ”

Xu Shui's case nodded again and again: "The official will try his best, try his best." ”

Chen Ling asked Xu Shui's case many more questions, Xu Shui's heart was slightly irritable, but she didn't dare to show it, so she could only answer them one by one, until nightfall, she looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late today...... Tomorrow I will visit the prison again, and I will ask Shui Mei about it, hoping to provide some clues to the prefect. ”

Isn't it just to visit the prison, Xu Shui's case readily agreed: "Yes, you only need to report your name tomorrow, and this official will let the official not embarrass Chen Gongzi." ”

"Thank you." I have to say that it feels good to have a backer behind me. Chen Ling returned to the mansion and ate some of the meals arranged by Ju'er, and then fell into thought.

This case sounds ...... It's like a headless case. I just found the poisoned cup under the pomegranate tree in the courtyard, but I couldn't find anyone...... In addition, the person died on the body of the water charm, and in the Fenghua Building, there was no clue.
