Suddenly clumsily clenched his fists, and he couldn't wait to kill Zhang Wenwen who was half-sentenced, "What about the eldest lady of the Shen family?" ”

Zhang Wenwen half-lowered his head, just when he saw the clenched fist, his heart couldn't help but tremble, "I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die, and I don't know where I am." ”

Clumsy gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, with both the relief of rekindling hope and the anxiety of worrying about Shen Yuexi.

After a pause, he asked again: "Those unknown people, can they be identified?" ”

Zhang Wenwen threw himself on his knees, "The lower officials are incompetent, and there are no clues to check." ”

Hearing this, he couldn't hold it anymore, took a step forward, bent down and clasped Zhang Wenwen's neck, "General Ben has been on the expedition for more than two months, and there is only this sentence for so long without any clues, as a magistrate, you can't maintain the peace of one party, what's the use of keeping you?" ”

As he spoke, the clumsy wrist became stronger and stronger, so that Zhang Wenwen couldn't breathe, and when he saw that he was about to pass out, he let go and threw him to the ground, turned around and left.

Zhang Wenwen sat on the ground and took a long time to regain his breath. The two guards and Hu Er who had just stopped the clumsy had been watching from the sidelines, and they were already speechless in fright at the moment.

Leaving the mansion, he suddenly returned to the Shen family's mansion and sat in Shen Yuexi's boudoir for one night, his hand caressed the apricot-yellow quilt, thinking of the past, and his heart seemed to be torn apart.

The deputy general Mu Geduo also rushed over, he had followed Ku Zhuo's side for many years, and Hu Zhuo's love for Shen Yuexi was as deep as the sea, Mu Gebi knew it to everyone, so he didn't come forward to disturb Hu Zhuo, but outside, looking at the dilapidated courtyard of the Shen family, he felt that the world was impermanent.

Early in the morning, he got up clumsily and headed to Nanshan, he was going to visit the tomb of the Shen family.

Mugodor and several loyal guards followed.

In winter, all the trees in Nanshan withered and withered, and the northern part of the call was blowing, staining everything with a heavy desolate color.

"Yuexi has always been most afraid of the cold wind, and her face hurts when she blows." Standing in front of the row of scribbled grave bags, he said something to himself.

When Mu Geduo heard this, he didn't know what to say except for lowering his eyes slightly.

Once, when Hu Zhuo and Mu Geduo were drinking, he said that meeting Shen Yuexi was God's greatest gift to him, and now, God has taken back this gift, and in the long future, how should he deal with himself?

Not long after, Zhang Wenwen also came with the coroner and guards, and dug up the tombs one by one according to the clumsy meaning.

When the burial was first made, it was hastily laid, so now it is not a matter of effort to dig it up.

Among the people buried, except for Shen Qingshan and his wife, who got a thin coffin, the others were just shrouded in a bad mat and scribbled into the ground.

The burial time was the beginning of October, the temperature in Beihu had become colder, and it was even colder when buried in the soil, and the degree of decay of the corpse was not high, at this time it had been frozen like a stick, and the blood stains on the corpse's clothes were still there, showing a tragic state in the sun.

Suddenly clumsily stepped forward to check the wounds of the dead body, all of them were sword wounds, or chest, or neck, a sword was fatal, and the technique was neat, which was done by a well-trained master.

"This tomb is empty." When he suddenly lowered his body to examine the wounds on the corpse, someone on the other side exclaimed.

Suddenly got up and walked over, there was a wooden sign standing in front of the tomb with the word Shen Yi written on it.

And now, Shen Yi's tomb is empty. It is said to be a tomb, but in fact it is a straw mat buried, and the inside of the straw mat is empty.

The straw mat is intact, which means that it was not a wild beast that took the corpse, which means that Shen Yi may still be alive. Thinking of this, Hu's clumsy heart couldn't help but ease.

Then, he looked at Zhang Wenwen clumsily, "Why did Shen Yi have to wrap his body in a straw mat?" ”

Who in Youzhou City doesn't know the friendship between the Shen family and Clumsy, when Clumsy was not there, the Shen family was killed, but he had to end up like this, this is not the Shen family's business, it is clear that these dog things have not even been taken into account by him.

"The lower officials ordered a thick burial, it must be these people on the errand who treated Shen Gongzi as a family member, and the lower officials didn't know that these people would be so perfunctory, and the lower officials would definitely punish them heavily." Zhang Wenwen hurriedly bowed his head and replied. In the cold winter, he only felt cold sweat all over his body.

Hearing this answer, he sneered suddenly, and he walked to Zhang Wenwen's side, "You don't know anything about such a big murder case from beginning to end, what do you say you want you to be a county official?" ”

"It's a dereliction of duty." Zhang Wenwen was terrified.

"You go back to the county office, organize all the files properly, this king will repair the book and go to Beijing, and send someone to take over the post of Youzhou city and county commander...... Before you leave your post, I will ask you to repair the tomb and bury Shen Qingshan's family. Hu clumsily waved his hand at Zhang Wenwen, like a fly in disgust.

Originally, the general could not interfere with the appointment of court officials, but he was not only a general, but also a vassal king of the Beihu royal family, he had been stationed on the border for many years, and many cities on the border were under his control.

At this point, Zhang Wenwen could only say "the lower officials obey orders", and he didn't dare to say more than half a sentence.

If you want to blame, you can only blame him for his bad behavior, he allocated the silver taels for the burial, but he didn't expect that the people under his hands would be so bold, even the silver of a coffin would be greedy.

Moreover, the reason why he didn't pay too much attention was that it was rumored that Ku Zhuo would marry Na Ren, the granddaughter of the Duke of Beihu Huguo, and he also thought that Hu Zhuo's noble status would naturally not marry an exile family like the Shen family, saying that he had a friendship, but he wanted to use Shen Qingshan's excellent household management ability to serve Beihu. But looking at the clumsy and grieving situation in front of him, he was really attentive to the eldest lady of the Shen family.

But so what? The eldest lady of the Shen family is now alive and dead, and she is afraid that her fate is over.

"Carefully examine the wounds, and give me the pattern of the weapon and the neat writing of the cause of death." Turning around, he suddenly gave another command to the coroner.

Then, he turned on his horse, beat his horse and left.

Hu Zhuo returned to the Shen family's mansion again, from the front yard to the back yard, and carefully checked again.

went to Shen Yuexi's boudoir, stared at the quilt awkwardly, and thought that when he first saw the quilt, it was a messy state when he lifted it, and it can be inferred that Shen Yuexi should have been pulled out of the quilt when he was sleeping...... What was it like?

I thought about it for a long time. Mugodo, along with several loyal guards, also looked around the courtyard, hoping to find some traces of the murderer.

However, in the end, after too much time, the scene was destroyed again, and there was no clue.

After that, he knocked on the doors of the people on both sides of the Shen family and asked them about the situation on the day of the crime.

According to the neighbors, the incident happened two months ago on the night, that night, either far away, or the sound of the winter cold wind and angry howl was very loud, they did not hear any unusual movement, and it was not until the next day that no one found out that something had happened to the Shen family.

"Who is the discoverer?" Asked clumsily.

"It's a small guy in the Sifang Silk Village." The neighbor hurried back. Because of clumsiness, they often go in and out of the Shen family, and they recognize clumsiness.

Sifang Silk Village, Hu Clumsy naturally knows that the shopkeeper is a man forty miles away, and this man has a daughter named Xuemei who is married to Shen Yi.

Hu Zhuo naturally knew that Shen Qingshan was the shopkeeper behind this silk village, and the reason why he let his in-laws be the shopkeeper was because Shen Qingshan was exiled by the imperial court, and he was used to being cautious, even if he came to Youzhou City, he acted in a low-key manner everywhere.

With this clue, Hu Clumsy did not stop, and rushed to the Sifang Silk Village.

Sifang Silk Village, the door of the store is closed, and it is also a desolate color.

As soon as he inquired, he learned that the silk village had closed its door shortly after the accident at the Shen family. All the guys in the store were dismissed and their whereabouts were unknown.

This clue is also broken. Standing clumsily on the street, my heart became more and more burning. It's been more than two months, where is Yuexi now? Is it life or death?

"General, this matter still needs time to be investigated, and if you are not in a hurry, the general has worked hard for many days, so it is better to go back to the house to rest for a while before making plans." Mu Godor couldn't help but persuade.

After a long battle, his physical strength and spirit were consumed, and he was the most aware of the hardships.

"It's time for you to take a break." Suddenly listened to Mu Godo's words, turned on his horse, and headed for the general's mansion.

The porter of the General's Mansion was pleasantly surprised when he saw the sudden return, and hurriedly greeted him and grabbed the reins of the horse: "General, you are back." ”

Suddenly, he stumbled into the house.

The old housekeeper who heard the news trotted all the way over, and reported the situation in the house these days, which is a daily matter.

"Not long after the general set out for the expedition, Miss Naren came to Youzhou City." Finally, the old butler said.

Hearing Naren's name, he frowned slightly, stopped, and looked at the old butler.

The old housekeeper was furious by this clumsy look, hurriedly lowered his head, and continued to report: "Right now, Miss Naren is still living in the house. ”

"You should have been in the General's Mansion for six or seven years, have you forgotten the rules of the General's Mansion?" Suppressing his anger, he asked in a cold voice.

If the General's Mansion is not allowed to enter without the permission of the Fool.

"How dare you forget the little one, but Miss Naren is really, really ......" The old butler's words were helpless.

Hu Clumsy could naturally guess that Naren was the granddaughter of the Duke of Protector, and if she held her grandfather's imperial token, even the king of Beihu would have to be polite, not to mention a housekeeper in his general's mansion.

"Which yard does she live in?" Asked clumsily.

The butler's face was even more difficult.

Suddenly he was even more angry now, "Could it be that she actually lives in my Lingxiao Courtyard?" ”

The butler lowered his head and replied "yes".

Suddenly, he didn't say anything more, and strode towards Lingxiao Courtyard. Naren's courage was too great, and he just stayed in the General's Mansion without permission, and even lived in his Lingxiao Courtyard, his Lingxiao Courtyard, except for Shen Yuexi, no one has ever lived in it.

In the Lingxiao Courtyard, not only Naren lived, but also the two maidservants and several guards brought by Naren.

Suddenly entered Lingxiao Courtyard and saw a few unfamiliar faces, and couldn't help gritting his teeth, "Get out of here." ”

Although those people have never seen Clumsy, it seems that the momentum of the person can also guess the identity, and they are a little afraid in their hearts because of Clumsy's prestige, but then they think about it, with Naren as a backer on the left and right, Clumsy should be a little affectionate.
