"So what?" Pei Shu finally spoke, and in his voice, it seemed to be mixed with a few grains of sand, and it sounded rather hoarse: "So you secretly put down this wooden thing, just because you want to help me?" If that's what you're calling a good intention, then I'm really a little afraid to accept it. ”

"I don't hide it from the little marquis, in fact, I also want to ask you for help, this is an equivalent exchange." Chen Ying's answer was very frank, as if she was not worried about being ridiculed: "Naturally, the favor I asked the little Hou Ye for help has nothing to do with my father's disappearance, nor does it have anything to do with the overall situation of the court, and even has nothing to do with the Guogong Mansion and you, the Hou Ye." It's just a personal matter of my own. ”

Pei Shu leaned back and looked at her with interest: "Miss Chen San has to do something big?" Why not go to your family for help? ”

"What I'm going to do, I can't say at the moment." Chen Ying said, looking at him with a gaze as calm as water: "Because the goal I want to achieve is too big, I don't have a complete plan yet, and now I am still planning, please forgive me." As for the second question of the little marquis, if I want to ask my relatives for help, why should I mention it to the little marquis? ”

Pei Shu looked at her for a while, and then smiled: "You little girl, it's really weird." ”

Chen Ying replied to him with a faint smile: "I'm just proposing it first, let's not mention it in advance, let's talk about the case." After that, he took matters into his own hands and refilled some tea into Pei Shu's cup.

This was originally something she did easily, but Pei Shu seemed to be very surprised, and without thinking about it, he pushed the teacup aside.

Chen Ying knew that he was afraid that he was a little taboo, so he didn't care, poured himself half a cup of tea, and asked, "Little Hou Ye, can that skeleton be identified?" Have you also found out the approximate date of her overboard? ”

Pei Shu didn't speak, but got up and walked to the cabinet on the side, took out a brand-new tea cup from it, took the boiling water in the pot and washed it, before sitting down again and pouring the tea by himself.

When doing this, he didn't feel the slightest awkward because Chen Ying was on his side, and he always did it naturally.

He's avoiding suspicion.

When sharing a room with Chen Ying, there was no need to avoid suspicion.

Chen Ying felt that this little marquis's eccentricity might be even worse than her.

"All I know is that the nameless female corpse has been underwater for at least two years, maybe longer, no more than three years at most." Pei Shu took a sip of tea before he said.

Even though the words were like wine, they could hear it in Chen Ying's ears, but it made her heart cold to the bottom.

It was longer than she thought.

With the criminal investigation methods of this era, the longer the time passes, the more difficult it is to solve the case, and such a long time is enough to annihilate all evidence.

"Although this case is not under my control now, the Criminal Department is not the world of the Song faction, so I can still get the general news." Pei Shu continued, took another sip of tea, showed a look of enjoyment on his face, and said pleasantly: "Your Majesty also knows about this case, and is ordering the Criminal Department to investigate carefully, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future." ”

His tone was very indifferent, but for some reason, Chen Ying felt a sense of coldness from him.

is clearly laughing, but with a strong murderous aura.

Pei Shu's hands probably didn't lose any life.

Chen Ying made the above judgment.

It's not hard to see why. The lords all came from military exploits, but I am afraid that this little marquis was also a fierce general when he joined the army.

"What is the attitude of Xingjibo Mansion?" Chen Ying changed the question.

Pei Shu raised his eyebrows, and a trace of inconspicuous ridicule crossed his single eyelid eyes: "What else can they do?" It's nothing more than biting it to death and denying it. ”

This answer was expected by Chen Ying, and she hooked the corner of her mouth: "It happened two or three years ago, and it is indeed easy to push it up." After speaking, she looked at Pei Shu, and the smile on her face suddenly became even more strange: "If the little marquis is willing, you might as well think about it from this point in time." ”

Pei Shu was stunned by what she said, and his face full of evil anger had a little doubt at this moment.

Sure enough, people with well-developed limbs may have a little simple mind.

Chen Ying said like this in his heart, stretched out a hand, put his thumb together, only raised four fingers, and said: "Before this year, King An Xingbing, Baoding Mansion was in chaos. After speaking, he put away his index finger, the remaining three fingers, and continued: "Before this year, a female corpse sank under the water of Xingjibo Mansion with stone locks and iron chains. At this point, he put away all three fingers: "Closer to it, more than three months ago, a maid named Jiao Xing died in Xingjibo Mansion, but it was just such a coincidence, almost at about the same time, Changqiu Palace...... But something happened to happen. ”

She stopped, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Pei Shu sat up straight suddenly, a trace of shock crossed his face.

He never thought that Chen Ying's so-called "think ahead" would be such an idea.

And what's even more terrifying is that the two lines that are clearly unrelated, when she said this, they are actually related, and this connection is quite close.

"Soldiers, treacherous. In order to avenge the deceased, sometimes, you have to use some trickery. Chen Ying said again, put the tea cup aside, took out a small steamed cake from the plate and tasted it, and nodded: "It tastes good." ”

Pei Shu's eyes widened.

Treacherous.

These four words suddenly passed through his mind.

Only then did she get the approximate date of the death of the female corpse from him, and this Chen San girl was able to piece together such a clue, and there was an amazing match in time.

If he reported the news to Emperor Yuan Jia, I was afraid that this case would not be the same as it is now, but would have to be thoroughly investigated.

He stared at Chen Ying for a long time, and then burst out laughing.

From smiling to smiling, until the end, the case laughs.

"Miss Chen San, you are a friend, I have made up my mind." In the interval of laughter, he said so, and at the same time his arm moved, looking like he couldn't pat Chen Ying's shoulder, but because of the difference between men and women, he could only continue to hold on to the lacquer case.

Chen Ying curled her lips and smiled, reminding him: "Please pay attention to the little marquis, don't wronged the good people." ”

Originally, she had thought about whether Pei Shu's appearance in Bofu would be related to the assassination case, but at this moment, looking at the performance of this little marquis, she knew that she might have guessed wrong.

Xingjibo Mansion must be related to the two murders, but it must have nothing to do with the assassination, as for whether they are related to King An's rebellion, Chen Ying thinks it is unlikely, but he can't be sure.

Murder and rebellion are two different crimes, and they can't be confused, so she reminded Pei Shu not to get the wrong direction, so that things don't turn out of control.
