"I ...... I ......" Zhao Yuanwai hesitated a few times, and finally sighed resignedly, and said: "After we drank last night, I was thinking about going to Pomegranate Lane for a stroll, it would be too early, most of the courtyards in Pomegranate Lane were closed, and the door of Yinchuan's house was actually open." I was a little curious, so I looked inside, and saw several figures printed on the windows of the house. Yinchuan and her mother are at home on weekdays, and when there are many guests, they will hire a small worker, but the figures on the window don't look like each other. I guess I didn't dare to go in, I wanted to walk, but those people saw that they were about to come out, and I was afraid of colliding with them, so I found a corner to hide, and waited for them to leave before coming out. Then I didn't want to know what happened to this matter, did those thieves catch it, and asked the familiar chaman, only to know that Yin Chuan was actually dead! ”

As soon as Wang heard that Zhao Yuanwai had really gone to Pomegranate Lane, he was about to scold him by pulling his ears, Pei Xia hurriedly asked Wei Ba to pull people away, and it was important to interrogate the question first.

"Can you see how many of them there are?" Pei Xia asked.

"Three."

"What did they take when they came out?"

"I carried a big bag, I must have looted a lot of property, but I saw that the leader kicked the tree on the side of the road after he came out, and he seemed very dissatisfied." Zhao Yuanwai recalled.

Pei Xia's eyes lit up, that is, the thing had not been found yet. She continued, "Do you see what those people look like?" ”

"No, they are all dressed in black and wearing masks, I only know that there are three men, they are almost six feet tall, not fat or thin, and I don't know anything else."

Pei Xia continued to ask a few more questions, but without collecting any useful information, he left with Mu Changan and Wei Ba, and as soon as he turned around, he heard Zhao Yuanwai's wailing behind him.

"Hey, this Wang family is too terrible, you listen to Zhao Yuanwai's scream, and the loud slap before!" Wei Ba sighed and touched his face, and was a little glad that he hadn't gotten married yet.

Pei Xia snorted coldly and said, "If my husband is spending time outside behind my back, it's not just as simple as slapping him. ”

"What else are you going to do?" Wei Ba exclaimed, don't women have to pursue three obedience and four virtues, why are they going to do it if they don't agree with each other?

"What do you think, it's not that I don't know about murderers who break the law." Pei Xia smiled at Wei Ba and walked away.

This is the first time Wei Ba has seen Pei Xia smile, obviously the beauty smiling should be the most pleasing thing, but Wei Ba only felt that the cold air was rising from his back, and muttered to his Royal Highness: "How do I think she means that as long as she doesn't die, I have to tell Xiao Jiu not to beat this girl's idea when I turn around......"

Wei Ba muttered for a long time, didn't listen to His Royal Highness's response, turned his head to look, and saw that His Royal Highness was looking at Miss Pei's back, with a bit of appreciation in his eyes.

Belch! Isn't it evil?

After visiting the first one today, Pei Xia and the three of them came to the second one. The family went out to buy goods last month and will not return until the next month.

Cross out this one, and there will be only one left. The owner of this house is named Zhou Keli, in his thirties, Du Xiao's brother-in-law, quite rich, and he is also a well-known figure in the local area. When Pei Xia went, the housekeeper who opened the door said that his master had been very sick recently and had not seen any guests.

"We are not guests, we are here to investigate the case." Pei Xia took out the token of the county government, but who knew that the family didn't buy it. Mu Changan asked Wei Ba to take out the token of the palace and show it to Jiading, who took the token and looked at it, saying that he was going to report it, and only came back after a while to open the door, and asked Pei Xia and others to enter the main hall and wait.

Pei Xia and Mu Changan entered the main hall and did not sit down directly, but looked at the furnishings in the room, which was not coordinated in several places, and it was obvious that the objects that were originally decorated were temporarily removed.

"The grass people didn't know that His Highness had arrived, and they were disappointed." Zhou Keli walked out with the support of the two maids, only to see that he was dressed very thickly, trembling step by step, and his face was pale, compared to him, Mu Changan could be regarded as ruddy.

Mu Changan exempted him from courtesy, asked the maid to help him sit down, and asked with concern, "What kind of illness are you born of?" Have you seen the doctor? ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, the grass people are fine, but they accidentally contracted the wind cold, and they have been recuperating at home these days, I don't know what His Highness came to say?" Zhou Keli gasped every time he said a word, looking like he was going to take his breath at any time.

"How did the wind chill get so severe?" Pei Xiaqi said, "When did Master Zhou catch the wind cold?" ”

Zhou Keli replied: "There were some symptoms half a month ago, I didn't care about it at the time, thinking that I would probably be fine after a few days, but who knew that it suddenly became serious the night before yesterday, so I invited a doctor......

"I also have some rough medical skills, can Master Zhou let me take the pulse?"

Hearing Pei Xia's request, a trace of panic flashed in Zhou Keli's eyes, and he coughed before he stretched out his hand and said, "Then it's troublesome girl." ”

Pei Xia was silent for a moment and asked, "May I ask where Master Zhou was yesterday and the day before yesterday?" ”

"I was sick in bed yesterday, and the day before yesterday ......," Zhou Keli recalled, saying, "I was at home the morning before yesterday, went to the opera garden in the afternoon to listen to the play, and came back in the evening." ”

"Does Master Zhou often go to the theater to listen to plays?" Pei Xia asked.

"Well, it's a frequented time...... I wonder what case this girl is trying to investigate by asking these words? Zhou Keli asked.

Pei Xia didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "I don't know if the Yinchuan girl in Pomegranate Lane knows Master Zhou?" ”

Zhou Keli thought for a moment and replied: "I have some impressions, some time ago, I invited a friend to a banquet at home, and invited a few girls from Pomegranate Lane to accompany me, and she was probably one of them." What, is something wrong with her? ”

"She died the night before." Pei Xia carefully observed Zhou Keli's expression and continued, "Someone strangled her from behind her, and then hung her up and pretended that she had hanged herself. ”

Zhou Keli's expression didn't show the slightest flaw, he was a little surprised at first, and then shook his head and said: "This murderer is too vicious, but unfortunately I haven't seen her in the past few days, and I don't have any clues to provide you." ”

Pei Xia nodded, didn't continue to ask, but said, "I don't know if Master Zhou can allow us to look around the mansion." ”

"Your Highness and the girl just look at it." Zhou Keli's attitude was extremely cooperative.

Pei Xia was not polite to him, and went to various rooms and courtyards to check.

Pei Xia was led by a maid who had come out of Fu Zhou Keli before, and Pei Xia asked while looking, "Where is your wife?" ”

"If you go back to the girl, Madame's father's father is seriously ill and went back to her parents' house early yesterday morning." The maid replied.

Pei Xia asked a few more housekeepers and maids he met on the road, and the replies were the same, everyone unanimously said that Mrs. and the master were at home the night before yesterday, and the lady returned to her parents' house yesterday morning, and the master never went out.

Coming out of the Zhou Mansion, Mu Changan asked, "How is it?" Now that Miss Yinchuan's guests have been visited, what has Miss Pei gained? ”

"The entire Zhou Mansion is full of lies, the theft of Mrs. Chen's house and the death of Yin Chuan, at least one of them is related to this Master Zhou."

"Since that's the case, let's go and ask Master Li to bring someone to search for it." Mu Chang'an said.

"It's better not to startle the snake." Pei Xia thought for a while and said, "You can ask Master Li to send someone here to monitor the movements of the Zhou Mansion, and send someone to the pawnshop gold shop near the county town to inquire about it, so as to prevent the thieves from selling their property elsewhere." In addition, the theater and Mrs. Zhou's maiden side also need to send people to ......"

"I don't feel at ease when such an important matter is handed over to Lord Li's subordinates, so I'll lend this king's people to the girl to use." Mu Changan interrupted Pei Xia when he heard this, and asked Wei Ba to go to the post house and call a few more guards over.

Pei Xia thanked Mu Chang'an and said: "Thank you Your Highness for this, but although Your Highness has now cleared the suspicion of murder, after all, it is involved in the case, and it is better to call the messengers of the county government to act together." ”

Mu Changan paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's better for Miss Pei to be cautious and careful, so let's do what Miss Pei wants." ”

"It's His Royal Highness who is careful, and the people's girl's suggestion is just icing on the cake." Pei Xia Waner.

After a short time, Wei Ba brought five guards over, Pei Xia instructed them one by one, and asked them to go to the county government and call the messengers to act together.

After the guards left, only Mu Changan and Pei Xia remained.

"Doesn't Your Highness need to leave someone with you?" Pei Xia asked a little strangely, she had just obviously not assigned a task to Wei Ba, but Mu Changan even sent Wei Ba away.

"This king is just an idle man, and he has never been killed by someone who has broken into his residence at night, so he has no assassination value. It is difficult to go out to the palace, and there are always people who are not relaxed. Mu Changan smiled slyly, he really looked like a naughty prince who didn't know anything about the world, if it weren't for Pei Xia who had pretended to be a gardener and entered the Suiyuan Palace, and had seen the orderly and strict guards in the palace, maybe he would have really deceived him.

"How can Your Highness be so rash, how can the people's daughter bear the responsibility if something happens." This can be regarded as Pei Xia's expected temptation, she pretended not to know, and blamed her.

"You're not responsible. Let's go, it's already noon, and the king is hungry, so let's find a place to eat first. Mu Changan always made a decision and acted immediately, saying that he was going to eat and immediately walked in the direction of the restaurant, and Pei Xia had to follow behind.

Before eating, Mu Changan took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from it and ate it. This is the third time Pei Xia has seen Mu Changan taking medicine, and he can't help but show a little curious.

Mu Changan saw it in his eyes, felt interesting, and said, "Miss Pei should really come out and walk around often." When we first met the day before yesterday, you were talking in the lobby of the inn, which was indeed full of momentum, but being too calm always made people feel a little less popular. If you are angry and curious like today, it will be much more vivid. ”

Pei Xia was stunned by him, and was silent for a long time, and only said, "Your Highness thinks too much."
