Pei Shu continued to remain silent, but his expression became strange.

Chen Ying was wearing gloves herself, but she wanted Pei Shu, who was bare-handed, to take away the dead man's hair.

How could she do such a human thing? Was it intentional, or unintentional?

Behind Pei Shu, there was a sound of "smack" and "smack", as if someone was desperately holding back a laugh.

"Lang Tingyu, come here." Pei Shu tilted the corners of his mouth and smiled, but his empty eyes seemed to be accumulating a storm.

The sound of "chirp" stopped immediately, and after a while, a short young man in a python suit walked over with a bitter face.

"Put things ...... Evidence...... Take it. When he spoke, the corners of Pei Shu's mouth were still slanted, and his single eyelid was downward, looking from Chen Ying's point of view, and he couldn't see the other party's eyes.

Chen Ying was a little surprised.

Untimely, I was taken aback.

She was more than a head shorter than Pei Shu, and even so, she couldn't even observe the other party's eyes.

This Lord Pei's eyes are really ...... Not too big.

Of course, Chen Ying is not discriminating against single eyelids, but simply thinks so.

The man who looked like a guard named Lang Tingyu had already walked in front of her with a bitter face at this time, and a wide and thick palm stretched out, looking stupid, like a small bear.

Chen Ying pondered for a moment, put away the gold medal easily, asked the mother in charge for a clean white cloth, wrapped the hair, and handed it to Lang Tingyu, without saying a word during the whole process.

Lang Tingyu's expression suddenly became lively, and he happily took the cloth bag and put it in his hands, and retreated.

Chen Ying paced a few steps to the side and said calmly: "Please Master Pei to start working, I will only watch from the sidelines and will not interfere too much." ”

Pei Shu raised his eyes.

In an instant, there seemed to be a sharp arrow piercing straight in, as if there was a sharp edge.

Chen Ying's heart skipped a beat and she quickly raised her head.

In just this breath, Pei Shu had already withdrawn his gaze.

As a result, what Chen Ying saw was only most of his chin and the back of his head, and the two sharp eyes disappeared.

This Master Pei looks very difficult to deal with.

Chen Ying made the following judgment and stood aside quietly.

Pei Shu was talking to the officials behind him at this time, his voice was extremely low, his expression was fierce, and his high eyebrow bones were pressed down, giving people a more and more fierce feeling.

"The girl is standing here, the sun is not getting much here." The housekeeper's mother came over at this moment and whispered.

Chen Ying bowed her head slightly under the fence and said softly: "Thank you so much, mother." ”

"This is all explained by the old lady to the slave maid, and the slave and maid just do it." The housekeeper's mother replied unhurriedly.

Chen Ying glanced at her a few times, and always felt that she was a little familiar, but she couldn't name her, so she asked, "I don't know what my mother calls her?" ”

"The slave's surname is Feng." The mother in charge replied respectfully.

Chen Ying nodded and said softly: "Although I haven't seen my mother before, I always feel that my mother is a little familiar." ”

Mother Feng laughed, raised her hand to hold down the wind-blown handkerchief, and said, "The slave's daughter listens to the old lady and is called a thrush. ”

Chen Ying was stunned.

No wonder she looked at this Feng's mother familiarly, it turned out that she was the mother of the thrush.

Mrs. Xu had four big maids beside her, all of whom were named after birds. Among them, Brother Parrot is in charge of Mingyuantang's accounts, deeds, and other things, and is a bit of a mysterious girl, who usually does not show up; The second is the thrush, she is in charge of Mrs. Xu's jewelry, which is also very important; In addition, there are two people, Hibiscus and Huang Ying, who are in charge of clothes and food for the four seasons respectively, and the division of labor is very clear.

"Mother Feng has worked hard today, I will tell my grandmother when I go back." Chen Ying said politely.

"The girl has tormented the slave." Mother Feng said respectfully, her tone was still the same as just now, calm and unhurried.

Chen Ying didn't say anything more, and Mother Feng beckoned all the servants to come over, surrounded Chen Ying, and waited for the corpse to be fished out over there.

After a pause, Chen Ying said softly again: "My two girls are still doing things for me outside, and Mother Lao sent someone out to greet her." ”

After knowing the truth and passing the message to the sisters of the Wang family, he went to find the truth. The two of them haven't come back yet, and Chen Ying is a little worried.

Mother Feng answered, then called two mothers-in-law who looked very shrewd, and ordered them to find someone, and after the two left, Mother Feng said again: "If the girl has something to do in a while, you might as well talk to the slave maid." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the officials not far away, and her face was very solemn.

Speaking of which, Chen Ying is thirteen years old this year, saying that it is not big, but it is not small, even if the folk customs of Dachu are open, and the nobles and ladies are not overstepping the system when they see a foreign man, but those who should avoid taboos must eventually avoid taboos.

Those officials are just that, but the first-class officials are the first ones to guard against. Most of these officials are commoners, especially those who work and carry corpses, and they are even more lowly servants, so they must be strictly guarded against death, and they cannot be allowed to collide with their own girls.

Mother Feng looked like she was facing a great enemy, but Chen Ying was very calm, poking out half of her head from behind Mother Feng and observing the scene of the corpse.

The process of retrieving the corpse was far smoother than Chen Ying imagined.

In her previous cognition, she always felt that this kind of work in ancient times must be inefficient and time-consuming, and she was also ready to fight a protracted war. However, what she saw in front of her completely subverted her imagination.

Not to mention the water support of those who dived and fished for corpses, which is very similar to modern diving suits, that is, their way of operating the boat, they are also very skillful, fiddling with a small boat like a toy. In about half an hour, the body was fished out.

Chen Ying raised his eyes and saw that the corpse collector had loaded the corpse on a huge black cloth and was driving the boat back, and it was vaguely seen that the corpse had been half rotted, and the clothes were basically rotten, leaving only a few strips of cloth.

In addition, the torso and limbs were still intact, and the long black hair was on the hull of the boat, fluttering with the water.

Chen Ying sighed lightly.

At one point, she feared that it was only the head that sank to the bottom.

If it weren't for the whole corpse, the difficulty of the inquest would have increased exponentially, and now it seems that she was overly worried.

"Oh my heavenly grandfather, there are really dead people!" There was a sudden whisper from the side, but it turned out to be a young servant woman, because she saw the corpse, her face was snow-white at this time, and her body began to tremble.

Although Mrs. Xu left behind all the brave healthy women, in the end they were just ordinary people, and it was normal to be afraid at this moment.

Chen Ying glanced at the mother, and was about to say a few words of comfort, but Feng's mother already shouted: "Don't close your mouth yet!" The girl didn't say a word for fear, you are expensive! ”

The servant woman knew that she was speechless, and dared to speak again, but her eyes did not dare to look at the water again, but stared stiffly at the other side.
