Chapter 81: Tone Attack

Qi Heng asked his subordinates to clean out the lobby, and his sister-in-law Qi Wenxuan was on the side, holding a list of ten people in his hand.

He opened the name book, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't have a score in his heart: "Father, it's still inappropriate to do this, right?" ”

Qi Heng was worried about the treasure, and the clinker was not settled, and he only felt exhausted: "Real people have the ability to reach the sky, since I have summoned these people, it will be useful." ”

Since his father was convinced, Qi Wenxuan didn't want to say anything more: "Aqing, please come over." ”

"Whoa." The servant received the order, and after a short time, he brought everyone into Han Moxuan, "Young master, people have been brought." ”

Along with these ten people, there were also Shen Yanchu and Liu Ruyan.

Qi Heng greeted him: "Dare to ask the real person, what should you do next?" ”

Shen Yanchu swept over everyone and frowned: "Everyone has arrived?" ”

Qi Heng's attitude was respectful: "According to the instructions, those who left the room last night are all here." ”

"There is the head of the Lao family." He bowed his head and looked at the people standing in the hall.

In addition to a few fresh faces, Dong Miaoyin, Lingxiang, Chu Kun, and even Jiang Wenzhuo are also standing in this column.

Shen Yanchu looked at his expression one by one, and then he sat down and said loudly: "I think you also know what is the reason for letting you come today." ”

Jingzhao Yin Jiang Wenzhuo took over: "Do you suspect that Lord Chen's death is related to us?" “

"I am entrusted by the head of the family to find out the truth and restore peace to the house." He opened his mouth lightly, and his gaze fell on everyone, "All of you present left the room without permission last night, and there is no one else to corroborate, so it is naturally suspicious. ”

"What a real man says is true." Jiang Wenzhuo responded.

Shen Yanchu immediately opened the name book, which clearly recorded when Jiang Wenzhuo left the courtyard: "Last night, you left the room alone and returned three moments later, where did you go during this period?" ”

Jing Zhaoyin, as a Beijing official, is used to hearing cases in court, and it is the first time he has been interrogated.

He replied: "It's not a secret, this official couldn't sleep well because of the theft of the Qi family's treasures, and went to Yiyuan at night to see if there were any clues left in the Wutong Forest." ”

"You entered Yiyuan at night, why weren't you discovered by the nursing home?" Shen Yanchu asked again.

Jiang Wenzhuo also felt strange: "It was raining at that time, and the nursing home hid somewhere to avoid the rain." ”

The other party replied naturally, Shen Yan first looked at his eyebrows, and shook his head at Liu Ruyan who was standing next to him.

Jiang Wenzhuo did not lie.

"Miaoyin Gongzi, Dong Qingxian." He picked up the name book, raised his eyes and asked, "You live in a single courtyard?" ”

Dong Qingxian's eyebrows were gentle, and his voice was also shallow: "The contemptible person is alone, and the courtyard that was arranged is also very quiet. ”

"So, no one can prove that you're in the house or not." Shen Yanchu said, "If you don't return all night, there is no one to corroborate." ”

"Real people, please be careful." Dong Qingxian took out a stack of sheet music from his sleeve, "This is a piece composed by Qingxian last night, for which the candle oil was burned overnight, if you don't believe it, you can go to my room to check it." ”

"Sheet music?" Liu Ruyan took the score, "The payment is indeed yesterday." ”

Shen Yanchu looked at her: "Time can be faked. ”

She returned the score to Dong Qingxian, seeing that he didn't look like he was harmful to people's hearts.

"Did Yan'er ever believe me?" Dong Qingxian asked suddenly.

"Yan'er?" Shen Yanchu raised his head suddenly.

"I believe in you."

"Ding, +5 loyalty, 35 total."

Dong Qingxian smiled lightly and looked at her, his eyes shining.

"You know him well?" Shen Yanchu's eyes were cold, and he looked at the other party more and more unpleasantly.

Liu Ruyan didn't explain, but leaned close to Shen Yanchu's ear and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the piano master is lying?" ”

"Looking at his eyebrows, not only is this violinist not lying, but he is also happy with you." Shen Yanchu was very displeased.

She couldn't help but laugh twice.

In the hall, Shen Yanchu finished asking questions one by one, and first of all, he could rule out the suspicion of Jiang Wenzhuo and Dong Qingxian.

"Changshi, Chu Kun?" He opened the name book, and the person in front of him was thin-looking, his eyes were shrewd, and the seven emotions in his eyebrows were even more invisible, and he was a person who was moody and invisible.

"It's Chu." Chu Kun looked up, the rumored Ming Juezi was free and uninhibited, and when he saw him today, he found that he was more mysterious than the rumors.

Shen Yanchu continued: "According to the attendants beside Lord Chen, you had a verbal altercation with Lord Chen last night, and the words were fierce, and then you went out alone, and you didn't know where you went. ”

"It is true." Chu Kun's face did not change, "Chu and Lord Chen are officials in the same dynasty, and it is reasonable to have occasional differences in political opinions. Last night I was depressed, so I found the back kitchen and brought a jar of sake to drink to relieve my sorrows. ”

He said faintly, as if remembering Master Chen's tragic death for no reason, and his originally calm voice became desolate: "As everyone knows, this kind of thing happened, colleagues for ten years, and then look back, yin and yang will be separated forever." ”

Chu Kun's eyes showed a little remorse: "If it weren't for Chu fighting with him, he would never have left in a hurry, blame me for this matter, blame me!" ”

"Hey-" Jiang Wenzhuo also sighed and was moved, "First Liu Shangshu, and now General Chen, what kind of sin have you suffered." ”

Chu Kun bowed his head silently, but at this time, a man standing not far away rushed out.

"The general was obviously killed by you, and now he is hypocritical, pretending to be a good person!" He shouted angrily.

Who is this?

Liu Ruyan looked at the name book, Wan Hong, Lord Chen's personal guard, is also a soldier.

Wan Hong pointed directly at Chu Kun and rushed to the crown angrily: "The so-called ministers are just some Sven scum!" You betrayed the saint of today, what face do you have to stand here and claim injustice! Last night I heard you insulting the general, and the general was so angry that he ran out in the rain and never came back. ”

His voice was sad, and he turned to look at Shen Yanchu: "I implore the real person to find out the murderer." ”

Wan Hong knelt on the ground and bowed from afar: "To comfort General Chen's spirit in the sky!" ”

"Let's get up first." Liu Ruyan helped him up, "So you left the room without permission last night to find Lord Chen?" ”

"Exactly." He said bluntly.

"What about you?" She looked at the maid standing behind the crowd, the personal maid beside the young lady, "Lingxiang." ”

"I ......" Lingxiang hesitated, she walked to Liu Ruyan in pieces, and didn't dare to look up for a long time, "I get up at night to go to the toilet." ”

"Raise your head and say." Shen Yanchu looked at her.

The little maid was frightened and hurriedly explained: "The slave and maid really didn't lie, the slave and maid still remember that when she got up at night, she saw the Xu family in the water room taking shoes in the house, just because her door was hidden, and she couldn't see the slave and maid." ”

Shen Yanchu asked rhetorically: "Since the door is closed, how do you know that the Xu family is taking shoes in the house?" ”

"Because Xu said during the day that he would give Erlang a new pair of shoes, and when I got up at night, I saw a shadow in the window, and it was she sitting at the table with the soles of her shoes." She explained, "The slave and maid left for a while, and when she went back to her room to rest, she happened to wake up the maid who was in the same room. ”

"So no one knows how long you've been out?"

"Yes."

After asking, Shen Yanchu checked the remaining people one after another.

At present, it seems that Chu Kun is the most suspicious. But it is really unconvincing to rely on the words of the chief of the guard.

Shen Yanchu got up and walked to the hall, and said to Qi Heng: "There is a master of the Lao family to take another pair of bows and arrows." ”

"I'll go get it." Qi Wenxuan stood close and quickly took his bow and arrow.

Shen Yanchu took it with one hand and pulled the bowstring with his fingers, and suddenly, the tight string broke off in his hand, leaving only a bow frame.

Qi Wenxuan's face was slightly pale: "It's negligence, so I'll take a bow again." ”

"Not necessarily." Shen Yanchu said lightly, his eyes looked at Liu Ruyan, "Borrow your silver wire." ”

Liu Ruyan was dissatisfied: "Don't you already have a ring?" ”

Shen Yanchu stopped making a sound, and the eyes under the fence were tightly fixed on her, with a great sense of unrelenting.

She secretly felt pain in her flesh, and took out the last silver thread in pain.

Shen Yanchu tied the silk thread to the bow and tried the bow again, after which he handed it to everyone present: "If you want to prove your innocence, pull this bow out." ”

Others don't know what medicine he sells in his gourd, but Liu Ruyan knows that the murderer's arm strength is amazing.

Everyone present looked at each other, and finally picked up the bow.

Wan Hong exerted all his strength before he pulled the bowstring halfway apart.

Not to mention Lingxiang, the palms of his hands were strangled red, and there was no movement of the bowstring.

Others tried one after another and had to give up eventually.

Immediately, Chu Kun also picked up the bow and laughed: "This official hasn't opened a bow for a long time, you might as well try it today." ”

He opened his feet and immediately drew the bow, the muscles of his arms tensed, and with a slight tremor of "Zheng", the bow frame only opened a slight arc.

He gasped and lowered his bow: "It's old, it's not as good as before." ”

"I'll give it a try." Dong Qingxian walked over with a little curiosity on his face.

Miaoyin Gongzi was specially invited by Qi Wenxuan, and he kindly comforted: "There is no need to force this matter, you see everyone present, no one can pull this bow." ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Dong Qingxian's eyes sinking slightly, his waist straight, his chest open, holding the bow, buckling the strings, his shoulders were stable, and he opened the bow in a straight line backwards.

With the flick of his right hand, the fully open bowstring instantly returned to its place, and a stream of air swept through the air, and almost at the same moment, the bead curtain hanging in the hall broke in response, and the round jade beads rolled to the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

And Liu Ruyan was even more shocked, Dong Qingxian's internal force was so pure that he could easily use a sound attack!
