Chapter 253: The Mansion is Powerful
Although Shangguan Jiyue promised not to take care of this case anymore, Huangfu Chen still took her with him every day and did not allow her to leave his sight.
Shangguan Jiyue couldn't help but slander in her heart: This man is too fussy, unless that person has the ability to fly away, otherwise she is absolutely safe in the post house where the heavy troops are stationed.
But despite thinking like this, Shangguan Jiyue's heart still couldn't help but rise a little sweet, this kind of day of being cared for everywhere and caring about as a little woman is actually quite good.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, the sky was still raining, and the misty water vapor shrouded the sky and the earth, faintly revealing a trace of cold breath.
The case of the girl's disappearance is still at a loss, but the news of Ruyan's tragic death is like a thick cloud in the sky, shrouding the hearts of everyone in Pingyang City.
In addition, there is an extremely absurd rumor that has spread overnight, saying that there are monsters in the city that drink people's blood and steal people's skin, and that any beautiful woman who has not left the cabinet may become the next Ruyan at any time.
In order to prevent this sudden monster from harming their daughters, everyone in Pingyang City who has daughters is trying to marry their daughters as soon as possible.
For this reason, some young ladies from large families who used to attach great importance to the distinction between families and families have also lowered their requirements, as long as the man's conditions are not too bad and his character is good, it doesn't matter if he marries low. The idea of these parents is very simple, it is ten million times better for their daughters to meet again after they marry low, than to be taken captive by monsters and take away their appearance and become a corpse.
As a result, Pingyang City was the busiest overnight, except for these people in the government who were investigating cases, and the matchmaker should have become a hot figure.
In the streets and alleys, even if it is rainy, you can see a matchmaker holding a red sticker from time to time, holding an umbrella and passing by in a hurry.
Shangguan Jiyue was noncommittal about all this, and she just laughed at it in her ears. What kind of monsters that steal people's skins are just some ignorant people's self-speculation, and they are all nothing.
But the tragic death of Ruyan being cut off is real, and the families of those who have lost their daughters are terrified, and they have already made trouble at the door of the government office, crying and shouting to block the government office tightly, begging the official family to rescue their daughter.
Although Yu Wenyi had arranged for people outside the mansion to try to appease everyone's emotions, it had little effect, but more and more people gathered, which made Yu Wenyi a little anxious.
For a while, the heads of people outside the government yamen were stirred, crying and shouting, and the scene was extremely lively. When Shangguan Jiyue and Huangfu Chen came to the outside of the mansion where Yu Wenyi was sitting, they saw such a scene.
The two glanced at the crowd separately, and Huangfu Chen's tall and straight body stood straight on the jade steps in front of the palace yamen. He was dressed in an ink-colored robe, with a heroic and tall posture, standing with his hands in front of everyone. The handsome face was as silent as water, the dark eyes were low and introverted, and the color of the eyes swept deeply over every face of the people present.
Obviously, Emperor Fuchen didn't say anything, but the surroundings gradually quieted down strangely, and they all silently stared at this man with a powerful aura and a face like an iceberg.
Even though his eyebrows are cold, his eyes are piercing, and his whole body exudes a cold aura that is not close to the living, but his own existence is like an unshakable mountain, giving people an inexplicable surrender.
Shangguan Jiyue thought, this may be what people often say about the style of a king? Well, she actually admitted that Huang Fuchen's unsmiling appearance is indeed quite cold, cold and cold, and his whole body exudes a man's masculinity, which is noble and compelling.
Ahem...... She was distracted again......
However, just as he was distracted, the man slowly spoke, and a deep and clear voice came, as if it hit the hearts of everyone present: "You have lost your loved ones, and this king understands your feelings. And I promise you that I will do my best to find them. However, if you are blocking here today, not only will it not help, but it will hinder the government's investigation of the case, and it is very likely that you will lose the best opportunity to rescue them. ”
The crowd was silent.
After a pause, Huang Fuchen continued: "This king already has some clues, I believe that they will soon be able to find their whereabouts, if you continue to make trouble like this, your daughters or sisters may suffer one more day, or even lose their lives." What you have to do is to carefully recall whether there was anything unusual about them before they disappeared, and then report it to the government to help the government find the murderer as soon as possible and bring him to justice! ”
Shangguan Jiyue looked at the man beside him with a pair of eyes, only to see that his side face was as handsome as jade, and his body was as calm as a mountain.
After speaking, he didn't look at everyone anymore, took a long step, turned around and took Shangguan Jiyue's hand, strode into the threshold of the mansion as if no one was around, and strode towards the back hall of the mansion.
When passing by the corner, Shangguan Jiyue secretly turned around, only to see that the people in front of the government suddenly came back to their senses and gradually dispersed.
Turning around, and then raising her eyes to look at the tall and handsome man with cold eyebrows on her side, but always holding her hand, Shangguan Jiyue's heart inadvertently skipped a beat.
Xu was aware of her gaze, and Huangfu Chen turned his head slightly sideways and looked down from the top of Shangguan Jiyue's head. The moment they met her gaze, the originally cold eyes instantly became warm, and the deep and cold contours also had soft lines.
"What's wrong? Why did Yue'er look at this king like this? ”
The clear voice made Shangguan Jiyue's little face red, and she instantly staggered her gaze, staring at her toes without looking at him: "No...... Nothing ......"
Huang Fuchen stopped, looking at the little woman in front of him who was about to fall to the ground, his heart felt full and soft.
Even if Shangguan Jiyue didn't raise her head, she could feel that two scorching gazes were staring at the top of her head at this time, which made her a little confused.
After a moment of silence, Huang Fuchen suddenly said, "This king has just lied to someone. ”
"Huh?" Shangguan Jiyue didn't react for a while, and suddenly looked up at the man opposite, "Who are you fooling?" ”
The man tugged at the corners of his lips and chuckled self-deprecatingly: "This king actually didn't find any clues, isn't it a lie?" ”
Shangguan Jiyue: "...... It's okay, it's okay, it's ...... in a hurry."
Shangguan Jiyue felt that Huang Fuchen's face was a little red when she said this, which also made her heart ache slightly. Although this man has never put his emotions on his face very much, she also understands that his heart is always anxious about this case.
Back in the back hall, Yu Wenyi was sitting in front of the long case with a sad face, looking through some information related to the case, and when he saw Huang Fuchen coming, the two immediately got together to discuss the case.
Shangguan Jiyue sat at the table on the side and drank tea. Since she promised Huang Fuchen not to interfere in the case again, she really decided that she didn't want to worry him anymore. Moreover, she firmly believed that with his ability, this matter must be difficult for him. There is actually nothing wrong with being the little woman behind him.
That being said, his ears kept an eye on the movements of the two of them, and his eyes glanced over there many times while he was drinking tea.
For example, just like now, Yu Wenyi is holding a stack of rice paper in his hand, and showing it to Huang Fuchen one by one, but Huang Fuchen has been frowning and his face is sinking like water.
