"Could it be that the old man of Xiangshan County, who was poisoned, couldn't give birth to a baby in the future?" There was a little ink in his belly, and he exclaimed loudly. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā

The so-called law does not blame the public, as many people as there are, they are bold, and some people dare to say anything, which quickly attracted echo: "This may be true, I heard my sister-in-law's uncle's uncle's neighbor's cousin say that when the lord of Xiangshan County participated in the flower banquet, he had a red miscarriage." ”

"Oh my God, the county lord is still a girl's family, how can he have a miscarriage?" The sound of discussion and exclamation immediately reached its peak, and it almost forced the wind and rain to stop.

When the pale-faced princess mansion chief Shi led several guards to disperse the people like wolves and tigers, the news of "the county lord's heir" and "the county lord's miscarriage" spread quickly throughout the city as if riding the wind.

The corpse hung in front of the princess's mansion, causing a storm in the city, which alarmed Emperor Yuanjia, and when the identity of the deceased was ascertained, the eldest princess immediately vomited blood and fainted to the ground.

The female corpse is the colored silk.

The maid of the Marquis Yongcheng Mansion actually hanged herself in front of the eldest princess's mansion.

The whole capital was in a stir.

In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Yuan Jia passed down an edict that Shengjing Mansion, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department joined forces to thoroughly investigate the case, and Chen Ying was also summoned into the Eldest Princess's Mansion by a holy decree.

"I heard that you were coming, I asked Lang Tingyu to wait in front of the door early in the morning, and I was waiting for you." In the exquisite corridor of the princess's mansion, Pei Shu accompanied Chen Ying, and the magnetic voice was embedded in the autumn rain, cold as plucked strings, and the aftersound of three or two was intoxicating.

Chen Ying naturally won't get drunk.

She raised her eyes, and between her clean eyebrows, there was a slight hint of doubt: "This case is also under the care of the little marquis?" ”

"That's it." Pei Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly, like a child showing off a toy: "I can take care of all the cases in the powerful mansion, and if there are such things in the future, we can still investigate the case together." ”

He looked overjoyed, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

There is no brighter smile than this, such as the autumn bright Xuan, and it seems that the sky is scarce.

Chen Ying also laughed, and when she looked up again, the verandah was gone.

He always held an umbrella, and this time was no exception, holding out a full blue arc with one hand, and pouring a ride in the sleeve of his robe, as if he wanted to ride the wind.

Chen Ying looked up at him slightly.

He wears a black hairpin, a black hairline, sideburns like a cut, a dark robe with a bright moon in the sea, a dark blue fish eye pattern leather belt around his waist, and the tassel is not an ordinary jade pei, but a bluestone knife, and the blade is embossed by waves, like a split seawater.

"What do you think of this case?" Turning around the hall, Chen Ying also changed the topic.

Pei Shu tilted the umbrella to her side, and the corners of his lips were half hooked: "It's suicide, not murder." Moreover, the body has not been moved. ”

"In other words, Cai Juan ran to the gate of the eldest princess's mansion by herself and threw herself to death?" Chen Ying asked.

The main gate of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, when is it so easy for people to enter and exit? A class of colorful silk maids, can you do this?

Pei Shu tilted his head: "It's been tested, there is mud under her feet, and the top of the stone beast in front of the door is also covered with mud, she should be stepping on the stone beast to pad her feet, so that she can hang herself on the plaque." ”

He hooked his lips and smiled, a little gloating.

Since he knew that Guo Yuan and Chen Ying were not on the right track, he was only full of disgust towards the eldest princess's mansion.

Chen Ying didn't know what he was thinking, and was still thinking about the preface.

The carriage had just passed through the main gate, and she had carefully observed that the two stone beasts at the main gate were indeed very tall, about one meter six, which was almost the height of an adult woman.

If you climb the stone beast and throw the rope over the plaque and wrap it around your neck, it is a bit difficult, but it is not impossible.

It's just that what do the guards, night watchmen, and stewards of the eldest princess's mansion do?

Even if they don't know beforehand, what about afterthought?

A dead body hanging in front of the door, they can't find it?

"The guards of the Eldest Princess's Mansion left most of them last night, and it was the eldest princess who personally ordered it." Pei Shu seemed to know what she was thinking, and said it in one word.

Chen Ying was slightly surprised: "Why is this?" What happened? ”

The corners of Pei Shu's lips were not slanted, and he never laughed out in the end: "The eldest princess sent them to find someone, and it was ...... who they were looking for."

He didn't say anything more, but gestured with his free hand around his neck and made a hanging gesture.

"They're looking for colored silk?" Chen Ying understood.

So, I was even more surprised.

"Yes." Pei Shu nodded, with disdain in his eyes: "The county lord was poisoned, and the eldest princess was extremely angry, and she was going to grab the colorful silk for questioning, so most of the guards went." In addition, last night, the house tossed until the second half of the night, and it is estimated that everyone is exhausted, and there is no defense, so something happened. ”

Chen Ying let out a "hmm" and groaned.

The eldest prince mainly looked for colored silk, and the guards almost poured out, so the guards in the palace were weak, and the servants were tired for most of the night, and it was common to be lazy while they were free.

And Caijuan happened to hit this gap and died in front of the princess's mansion.

Is this a coincidence?

Also, where did the guards go, after running all night?

"The Marquis of Yongcheng's Mansion...... Are you okay? Chen Ying asked softly.

Cai Juan is the maid of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, and last night's Hou Mansion must not be calm.

Pei Shu looked sideways at her.

They were standing under a paulownia tree, palm-sized leaves, half yellow and half green, shiny by the drizzle, and a few residual leaves scattered on the wet ground.

Further back, a few delicate begonias, blooming in the light rain and cool breeze.

She half-tilted her head, as if looking at the sky, and like looking at the autumn flowers in the distance, a light and clean face, green moon and white clothes, snow green danfeng liuxia pleated skirt, flowing plain waist, jade rabbit forbidden step, and a crystal tassel butterfly hairpin.

He unconsciously relaxed his breathing, as if he was afraid that the butterfly would flappe its wings and fly into the sky.

"I don't know the situation of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion." He said, deep in the pale pupils, her eyes as clean as water, and her wine-like voice, as low as a deep wine: "If you want to know, I'll inquire." ”

Chen Ying was in a trance for a few seconds.

Then, she laughed, and the tassel of the hairpin shook twice: "It's not necessary, I'll send someone to ask myself." ”

Even if she didn't ask, Chen Shao or Li would ask, after all, they used to be a family.

The two of them walked quietly for a while.

The hidden path is cold, the autumn sound is cold, all the way to listen to the rain droplets on the umbrella surface, the weeping vines on the mountain stones, the dripping green and green, there are bright and small fruits, and the leaves are tired.

The body of the colored silk is displayed in the north corner of the mansion, an empty courtyard, and the corners of the wall are piled with sundries.

"This is what Master Ma ordered, saying that this courtyard is quiet, far away from the main courtyard, and I am not afraid of taboos." Pei Shu served as a commentator, but he was also competent, and he was clearly stated.

After a pause, he lowered his voice again: "The eldest princess failed to ask for people, but she asked people to die in front of the mansion again, and the county lord's affairs couldn't be hidden. ”
