Shen Ling was actually a little timid, after all, what he did this time was not a glorious thing, and he threatened the initiator next to him when he was unhappy.

"You're done, the matter of you putting a sack to bully me has been known by the saint, and when you go back, you will have to be beaten by your old man."

The white-clothed young man with his head hanging next to him, that is, Wang Yin, the only son of the general of the dynasty, also regretted it at this time.

He thought that the previous thing was done seamlessly, but he didn't expect that this kid from the Shen family would fall into Su Xinyan's hands, and let her find out herself.

Now that this matter has been stabbed above, he doesn't know what to do.

In a spacious and bright teahouse box, Shen Ling and Wang Yin knelt on the ground and listened to the teachings of the people in front of them.

Gu Fengjin, who was sitting in the first place, was not in a hurry, he supported his chin and looked at the next head silently.

In fact, in his heart, he not only doesn't mind these children of official eunuchs interacting with each other, but also likes to see them, due to the previous change of the court, there are not many people with lofty ideals who can be used in the court, and now it is not only necessary to relax the standards for entering the imperial examination and let a large number of capable people enter the court, but also need these children of official eunuchs to grow up quickly and become a big help to the imperial court.

But looking at the performance of these people now, if some words and strong measures are taken, these mud will not be able to support the wall after all.

The two people below saw that the saint was slow to speak, and their hearts were also uneasy, Shen Ling was still quite bold now, and he couldn't help but take the lead in admitting his mistake, and bluntly said that he shouldn't be so reckless and let others see the joke.

The young man next to him also hurriedly kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

Gu Fengjin hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, and suddenly said: "Since you have the supreme glory of your ancestors, you should guard against arrogance and rashness and constantly restrain yourself. ”

The other two hung their heads in shame.

"This spring, the imperial court will organize a palace examination, which can be regarded as a chance for you, if the two of you can stand out in this competition, then today's matter will be written off if it can't be ......."

Gu Fengjin paused, "Then settle the new accounts and the old accounts together, I think it's time for your age to be sent out now......

"This ......" Shen Ling and the two looked at each other, and saw that the other party had made up their minds, so they suppressed the unwillingness in their hearts and lowered their heads.

In this way, this matter will be revealed, and Gu Fengjin does not plan to tear his face with those old men who protect their shortcomings.

It's just that they have obviously escaped, but Shen Ling and the others have gone from being depressed when they entered the second floor to being desperate now, which is also unusual.

Su Xinyan was eating snacks and drinking tea in the teahouse hall at this time, she was very puzzled when she saw the two of them look like this, she thought that Gu Fengjin would not be punished too much, could it be that she guessed wrong, and really implemented the thunder trend?

Shen Ling glanced at her and sighed, "The Holy Lord let us study and practice martial arts." ”

Su Xinyan nodded, this should be, and besides, this doesn't seem to be a punishment, right?

Shen Ling didn't plan to continue to explain, shook his head and turned around and left the teahouse, the man in white next to him looked at the person who walked out and stopped talking, and then he arched his hand with Su Xinyan and turned to leave.

Su Xinyan was suddenly a little strange, and turned his head to look at Zhang Yunhao: "What kind of reason is this?" ”

Zhang Yunhao coughed lightly, "The little master doesn't know, these two people are also famous in this circle for a long time, all of them have their own hearts and have their own favorite fun, and they don't like to study and practice martial arts." ”

"Oh......"

Su Xinyan suddenly realized that it was indeed abrasive enough to let a person who doesn't like to read read the words of those who are so good.

At this time, Gu Fengjin also walked down from the upstairs, and Su Xinyan was just about to get up to meet him, when he saw a team of officers and soldiers with swords coming in at the door. The leader is the official who brought the housekeeper into the Su Mansion last time.

When the man saw Su Xinyan, he immediately stepped forward, "Master Su is fine, I heard that Master Su is here, so I will find it." ”

"Well, what's the matter with me?"

"It's mainly the matter of the Chu family, Master Su sent someone to look for me before, saying that he would investigate the affairs of the Chu family today. I've been waiting for a long time, and I wonder if I can go with me now. ”

The Chu family?

Su Xinyan hurriedly stood up from the stool and handed the child in his hand to Zhang Yunhao's arms.

Indeed, the affairs of the Chu family are without delay, even if they can wait, Master Chu's corpse can't wait, they have to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible and give the child a good way out.

"I'll go with you." Gu Fengjin also walked to her side at this time, and there was no disguise on his face.

Although Su Xinyan felt that this was a bit inappropriate, but now that Feng Zheng was not here, she also hoped that someone could go with her, so she immediately stopped squirming and directly planned to go to Chu Mansion with Gu Fengjin.

"Take the child back safely." Su Xinyan once again instructed Zhang Yunhao, and then followed the team of officials towards the Chu Mansion.

In the daytime, there were many people outside the Chu family who watched the excitement, and at this time, those people were all pointing, looking bad luck and wanting to see a rare look.

The official who followed behind dispersed the crowd, and Su Xinyan got a way to go in.

The people of the Chu family have long been accustomed to the behavior of the surrounding people blocking the door at their homes, so they never shy away or drive away, and they were startled when the door was knocked open at this time.

The housekeeper at the head saw that it was someone from the official family who came, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know why a few officials came?" Haven't all the things about grandpa been investigated? ”

The official at the head frowned, "Who told you that it was clarified?" There are still some suspicious points that have not been found, we have to bring Master Chu's body back to the yamen for examination, you call everyone else out, your lord has something to ask. ”

"But today is the day of the master's funeral, and it would be a little unlucky to send it back to the yamen at this time," he said, and he planned to secretly stuff some silver taels in private, but he didn't expect that this group of officers and soldiers were all watching coldly, and none of them accepted his silver.

Only then did he put away the silver stupidly, "Can you ask the official to tell me what happened to the master?" ”

"Butler," at this time, Su Xinyan walked out from behind the group of people, "Don't shirk any more, if your master dies strangely and you are wronged, wouldn't your behavior be extremely inappropriate?" ”

The housekeeper recognized that Su Xinyan was the person he had seen before, the savior of the little master, and immediately stopped speaking, and looked behind her again, but did not find the little master, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and turned around to call the other servants.

Only then did the person in charge turn his head to look at Su Xinyan, "Is Master Su going to interrogate him in person or watch from the sidelines?" ”

"Let's wait and see, I'm not good at any of this."

Gu Fengjin said beside him: "After all, this is a matter of deciding the case, why don't we wait in the middle and wait for them to finish asking, how about relaying it directly?" ”

Isn't this going to be for her to sit in on it?

Su Xinyan was a little reluctant for a while, but thinking that Gu Fengjin hadn't let her participate in any interrogation before, since he must have his intention to do so, he no longer insisted, turned around and followed the other party into the inner room.

When the door was closed, Su Xinyan asked casually: "Why don't you like me to listen to these things?" ”

If it was in the past, she would still be a little afraid of these murder cases, but now that she has experienced so much, she is fully capable of facing these by herself, but obviously Gu Fengjin does not intend to let her have too much contact.

Gu Fengjin said: "As a high-ranking person, you don't have to bow down to everything, if the people under your hands can handle things properly, why do you know so much about those dirty and pickled things." ”

Although Su Xinyan disagreed very much in her heart, after all, this was the other party's kindness, and she didn't say anything more, but waited a little anxiously for the news from the outside to come in.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for a servant to walk in and inform them of the interrogation in the outer hall.

Su Xinyan was even more strange after listening to the report of the servant, according to the three people, they all had alibi certificates when Master Chu died.

The housekeeper went to the county government because of the previous title deed, while the maid went to the market, and the other had an argument with the old man who came to deliver the food.

It all makes sense, but it's also very coincidental.

"If that's the case, then Master Chu is too unlucky, could it be really an accident?"

Su Xinyan was a little difficult for a while, to be honest, there was no need for people from the government to come forward for such a trivial matter, if it weren't for her, the affairs of the Chu family would not be re-investigated.

After all, the Chu family is just a declining family, and the motives of these three servants to commit the crime are too small, if it is an ordinary case, it will only pass through the county government, and the case will be closed directly after a formality.

Now, because of her entrustment, the prefect sent someone over, but only sent a team of officers and soldiers to make symbolic inquiries, and it was obviously concluded that there was no doubt about this matter.

Su Xinyan asked, "Since there is nothing wrong with those three people, is there anything wrong with Master Chu's body?" She wondered if the other party had been poisoned or had died of injuries.

The official took out a document from his body that he had checked before, "These are records, after the incident, due to the rumors in the town, the county government specially sent people to check, but no signs of poisoning were found on Master Chu, and there were no injuries on his body." ”

"We've sent the body back to the house, but the results of the further investigation will need to come out tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Su Xinyan nodded.

It may also be that he is too suspicious, and this matter may really be just his own heart.

After all, in modern times, there are many diseases that can make a seemingly normal person die instantly.

At this moment, Gu Fengjin asked, "Have you checked that maid's room?" ”

The official was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "There is nothing unusual after checking." ”

"Isn't it strange that there are a lot of tombs in that room?" Su Xinyan understood Gu Fengjin's thoughts, and hurriedly added.

"Puppets? But the maid's room didn't have those things. The official was also confused.
