Han Zai drank a pot of wine and was about to take Jiang Sleeve Zhu back to the house, but it was noisy outside, but this time no one broke into the door, but respectfully negotiated with Qin Zhe, "Lord Qin, but you threw Commander Xiao from the third floor to the lotus pond on the first floor?" ”

"Not bad."

Qin Zhen's voice came into the room clearly, and Han Zai looked at Jiang Sleeve Zhu, "This king may be a little troublesome, and you may have to get out of here and go back to the palace by yourself later." ”

Jiang Sleeve Zhu listened to Qin Zhen's negotiation with the people of the Criminal Department, and said in a low voice, "But something happened to Xiao Zheng?" ”

"Nine times out of ten."

Jiang Sleeve's eyes flashed, and the next moment, the words of the waiter of the Criminal Department confirmed this, Xiao Zheng was thrown from the third floor, and drowned directly.

Although Han Zai's status is noble, Xiao Zheng is a clan after all.

Coupled with the current complicated court situation and the undecided throne, according to the law of Daqing, the regent must be brought back for questioning.

"You hide." Han Zai glanced at Jiang Sleeve Zhu, the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people, and he was not afraid to go to the criminal department.

Jiang Sleeve Zhu held Han Zai's hand, "Lord be careful." ”

Han Jae shook her back, "You should be careful, too." ”

Jiang bowed his head with beaded sleeves, and then walked behind the screen with the hem of his skirt.

Han Jae watched her hide before getting up and walking outside.

The door of the private room was suddenly opened, and everyone saluted.

Han Zai glanced at the waiter of the Criminal Department, "This king will go with you to the Criminal Department." ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" Wang Wei, the waiter of the Criminal Department, said gratefully, and then instructed the subordinates who followed him in green official mansions, "I'll accompany the prince back to the Criminal Department first, Song Li, you stay here to see if you can find any missing clues." ”

"Yes!" Song Li bowed down and agreed.

Han Zai glanced at the man in front of him with a clear face and a tall posture, but Er'er quietly withdrew his gaze and left with Wang Shilang.

"Let everyone in Ziyan Tower go to the backyard, and the official will interrogate them one by one!" After a few people left, Song Li instructed the shopkeeper of Ziyan Tower.

The shopkeeper hurriedly passed on the message.

Soon everyone in the building gathered in the backyard, and the entire front yard was silent, and there was no one in the house.

Jiang Sleeve Zhu walked out from behind the screen and walked downstairs lightly.

When she reached the first floor, thinking that leaving directly was too noticeable, she quietly followed her to the backyard, hiding behind a boulder.

Not far away, Song Li inquired about the situation at the time of the incident one by one, and the little two who were present said that Commander Xiao did not have obvious injuries when he fell from the third floor, he was in the lotus pond for half a cup of tea, and then suddenly sank to the bottom quietly, and when the others found out that something was wrong, he was already out of breath......

Half an hour later, after everyone finished questioning, Song Li sent them back.

The backyard suddenly became empty, he looked around, thought for a moment, and walked towards the rockery where Jiang Sleeve Zhu was hiding.

Behind the rockery, the two looked at each other, and Jiang Sleeve Zhu was a little embarrassed, "How do you know I'm here?" ”

Song Li smiled slightly and pointed to his nose, "I smell it here." ”

"Come with me!"

Jiang Sleeve Zhu followed behind Song Li and walked towards the back door of Ziyan Tower.

There was a carriage parked outside, Jiang Sleeve Zhu hesitated for a moment before getting into the carriage, and Song Li followed closely behind.

"Where are you going? The Regent's Palace? In the carriage, Song Li looked at Jiang Sleeve Zhu and asked tentatively.

Jiang Sleeve Zhu shook his head, "Send me to the Thousand Golden Hall!" He also explained, "The reason why I am with the regent today is because he took care of our mother and son when I was in the palace. ”

Song Li looked at Jiang Sleeve Zhu quietly, didn't say that he believed it, and didn't say that he didn't believe it, and after a long time, he turned his head sideways and commanded outside, "Go to Qianjin Hall." ”

Jiang Sleeve Zhu knew that he meant not to ask any more.

Nothing to say all the way.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the back door of the Qianjin Hall.

"Thank you!" Jiang Sleeve Zhu nodded at Song Li, then lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Song Li lifted the curtain beside him and watched her enter the Qianjin Hall, a touch of complexity appeared in his eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage slowly departed.

When Dr. Huang heard that Jiang Sleeve Zhu was going and returning, he took the time to go upstairs to see her and asked, "But what happened to the prince?" ”

Jiang Sleeve Zhu concisely told what happened in Ziyan Tower.

After hearing this, Old Doctor Huang stroked his beard and said, "Qin Zhe's kid has always been steady, and when he threw people downstairs, he must have used skill, so Xiao Zheng was able to pounce on half a cup of tea, as for why he suddenly sank to the bottom silently after half a cup of tea, the answer must be on his corpse." ”

"You mean, someone did something to Xiao Zheng in the lotus pond in the dark, so he sank silently and didn't struggle for help."

Doctor Huang: "There is such a possibility. ”

Jiang Sleeve Zhu pursed his lips, "The key to helping the prince get rid of his guilt now is Xiao Zheng's corpse, so his corpse must be protected." ”

"What Madam said is that the old man will find a way to pass the news to Qin Zhe." With that, he turned to leave.

Jiang Sleeve Zhu looked at the back of Doctor Huang and secretly prayed, hoping that Han Jae would get rid of his crime as soon as possible.

In the blink of an eye, it was already dark.

Jiang inserted the door with his sleeves, unbuttoned his coat and went to bed to lie down, but he couldn't sleep after turning it over and over. Her mind was full of toxins in her body and what happened in Ziyan Tower today.

Halfway through, she finally felt a little sleepy, but at this time, there was a very light footstep outside, and Jiang Sleeve Zhu was excited, and she suddenly woke up.

She's in the last room, and who would come in the middle of the night!

Thinking of Yuan Weizhi and her accomplices, who had poisoned her many times, Jiang Sleeve Zhu got up lightly, stuffed the two quilts next to her under the quilts she had covered earlier, disguised herself as a person, and then went down to the ground, took the fire tongs next to the medicine stove in her hands, crossed the screen barefoot, and hid behind the door.

The footsteps outside stopped, and a gleaming knife slid through the crack in the door, swaying back and forth, and the deadbolt was quickly pried open.

With a squeak, the door of the room was pushed open, and then a dark and thin figure walked in, his face was covered with a black scarf, and he walked sneakily towards the bed......

Jiang Sleeve Zhu's scalp was numb, but she didn't run away, but slowly approached the other party barefoot, and smashed him the back of the head with fire tongs.

There was a muffled grunt, and the thin shadow fell to the ground.

Jiang Sleeve Zhu still felt uneasy, and slammed it twice, then kicked the knife away, ripped off his hairband and belt, and tied him up.
