Chapter 119: Homicide
Of course, Wen Tao's words were not shouted casually.
He deliberately shouted this to the fourth princess.
In fact, it's not just him, but everyone else is the same.
They already had the intention of matching those two people today, so it is not surprising that this would happen.
As friends, they are looking forward to having a lover who can finally get married......
The fourth princess really got into her heart.
If Wen Tao didn't shout that sentence, it would be impossible for her to know that Du Yiheng was not acid-tolerant.
Although she has been happy with Du Yiheng for a long time, she didn't grow up with Du Yiheng, she is in the deep palace all the year round, Du Yiheng is a foreign man, how can she have a chance to see a few times?
All year round, it is just a few large-scale palace banquets, or special events.
Therefore, although she loves Du Yiheng wholeheartedly, she really can't talk about how much she knows.
This can't be blamed on her, she wants to know Du Yiheng, but there is no good opportunity to not.
It was easy to endure the shyness and ask the mother to help ask the queen to inquire about the meaning of the Du family, and was refused, such a blow is really not small for a young girl.
But when she saw Du Yiheng at first glance today, this person was different from what she had seen before.
Thinking of this, the fourth princess couldn't help but feel a little hope in her heart......
But is it really the same as what she thinks?
If so, what was the reason for the previous rejection?
Thinking of this, the little joy that rose slightly in the hearts of the four princesses dimmed again.......
Du Yiheng rinsed his mouth, took two more pieces of candied fruit, and the sour and astringent taste in his mouth was slightly better, and then he couldn't help but look at the fourth princess nervously and implicitly expectantly.
As a result, I couldn't help but be disappointed at first glance.
The fourth princess didn't look at him......
Is this really disappointed in him?
Thinking of this, Du Yiheng couldn't help but mourn for himself.
But then he got back together.
How can a good man be afraid of a momentary setback? Hugging a beauty is not just a matter of talking, if this is the case, how can there be so many hard-working mandarin ducks in the world!
Therefore, he still has to use practical actions to let the fourth princess see his determination and sincerity!
......
After that, the game continued for a few more rounds, until the sun gradually rose, and the group returned to the shore and went to Yunhua Tower for lunch.
Wen Tao had already set up a banquet in Yunhua Building, and the good box was also reserved for them, just waiting for them to pass.
Soon, everyone arrived at Yunhua Building.
Because the four princesses are sensitive, they entered the shop directly from the backyard.
The shopkeeper had already received the letter, and knew that they had arrived, so he personally greeted them out, and personally sent them to the box before retreating.
It's not surprising that the shopkeeper is so diligent and careful, not to mention that their identity as a group of people is extraordinary, just to say that Wen Tao, the boss behind the scenes, is there, and the shopkeeper doesn't dare not be diligent and careful.
Just kidding, he doesn't behave well in front of the boss, and he doesn't want to do it anymore!
Because the table was set in advance, and the shopkeeper specially explained, the guys knew that the people in this box were all distinguished guests, so no one dared to slack off.
To do what they do, you must first be clever and know how to act according to people's eyes.
Therefore, in front of the real nobles, they will put away their careful thoughts and strive to be careful.
In a short time, the dishes were ready and the drinks were served.
This time, there was no division between men and women, so they all sat together and ate.
In Wen Tao's words, they are not outsiders, what are they doing with those false courtesies!
Naturally, the others are not outsiders, but the fourth princess, who participated in their small group activities for the first time, is also considered an insider?
This is the confusion of the fourth princess.
But she didn't ask much.
Others treat her sincerely or hypocritically, but she can still tell the difference.
It is naturally not interesting to have a banquet without wine, because Nanzhao's restraint on women is not as strict as that of the previous dynasty, so it is not out of the ordinary for women to drink outside, just pay attention to proportions and don't get drunk.
Therefore, Wen Tao also asked people to prepare drinks.
But the ladies still prepared fruit brewing.
The fruit has a slight wine taste, but it is not easy to be intoxicating, and it has a slight sweetness in the mouth, which is most suitable for women.
The people here are all young people, and it is naturally fun to get together, that is, the four princesses were a little restrained at first, but after a few rounds of drinking, they also relaxed.
The atmosphere of the banquet was just right, everyone was chatting, but there seemed to be a faint sound of fighting outside.
Among these people, Lu Zheng has the highest martial arts, and his ear power is naturally the best, so he put down his wine glass and frowned when he heard the sound.
An Sheng sat beside him, and when he saw this, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"Someone fights......" Lu Zheng said, his brows furrowed a little, "No! ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a sharp shout outside: "Kill!" Someone's killed! ”
Someone's killed!
Everyone was startled, and immediately put down the wine glasses and bowls and stood up.
Lu Zheng immediately made a decision and said to everyone: "Zi Zhengwen Mountain, you stay to protect the others, and I will go out with Yunting to see what is going on." ”
Du Yiheng and Lin Zixuan nodded in unison when they heard this, and then, Lu Zheng and Wen Tao went out first.
Indeed dead people.
The place where the crime occurred was not far from their box, and Lu Zheng and Wen Tao arrived there in a few steps.
It's just that they met a rather unexpected person there.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
When the prince saw them, he was also slightly surprised, it could be seen that he didn't know that they were also here, but he still secretly shook his head at them, signaling not to make a noise yet.
The deceased was a man, face down in a pool of blood, wearing an azure robe with bamboo leaves embroidered at the hem of his clothes, presumably a literati scholar, or else he should be a person who liked elegance, but unfortunately most of his face was covered by scattered hair, so he couldn't see clearly, and naturally his identity could not be determined.
There was no murder weapon on the deceased, but judging from the wounds, it should have been wounded by a sharp blade.
It's just that this wound looks a little strange?
Wen Tao saw Lu Zheng looking at the deceased's back thoughtfully, so he guessed that he must have found something, so he leaned close to him and whispered in his ear, "How?" ”
Lu Zheng also replied in a low voice: "There is a problem with the wound, it doesn't seem to be caused by an ordinary sharp weapon." ”
It's not an ordinary weapon, so what could it be?
Wen Tao is not good at this, so it is not easy to speculate.
But no matter what, the murder in Yunhualou is not good news for him.
Not to mention, the prince is also appearing at the scene of the murder.
He always felt that something was wrong.
The thought flashed through his mind, so fast that he didn't catch it for a moment.
The shopkeeper hurriedly ran up, saw the person lying on the ground, and saw Wen Tao standing not far from the deceased, his legs were weak for a while, and he was about to speak, but he saw Wen Tao shaking his head at him secretly, so he hurriedly closed his mouth again.
