The lake flooded with blue waves, crossed the stone bridge, and disappeared under the shade of the trees.

This place is in the back garden of Ya Xian, clean and elegant, the lotus leaves break the water, and occasionally birds skim the water, startling a line of splashes. In summer, the lotus leaf fields are blooming, and the scenery is extremely elegant.

It's just that now a group of people suddenly broke in, destroying this elegance at once, like a quiet landscape painting, and suddenly there was a splash of ink, which completely damaged it.

The most conspicuous corpse was a corpse on the shore of the lake, mixed with the mud from the bottom of the lake, emitting a foul smell.

There are already people who can't hold back and vomit wildly, and there are even less bold people who are trembling with white faces.

Lu Jianyu leaned on Xibi with half of her body, her legs were weak and stuffy, she had more air out and less air in, and her eyes were black for a while.

When she came over, she heard that Liu Gongzi had been rescued and sent to the wing, and she just breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw the corpse by the lake, and almost fainted directly.

In the end, it is a teenage girl, where has she encountered such a scene, and she doesn't know what to do in a hurry.

Fortunately, Nangong arrived one step later, and without saying a word, he explained: "Go to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case immediately." ”

Lu Jianyu was anxious and angry, her eyes flickered, she pressed it on the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then looked at Nangong Zhi, as if she had come from the sky to rescue her.

"Nangong Shizi ......"

Nangong Zhi raised his hand to stop her, walked to the side of the corpse to take a few looks, frowned and asked Zhuangzhong's maidservant, "What's the matter with Liu Gongzi falling into the water?" Why is there an extra corpse? Where is the steward of the village? ”

The maid's voice trembled a little, because she was usually smart, she could finally answer normally at this time, "Liu Gongzi and the thrush were playing in the water by the lake, and somehow fell into the lake, and someone in the village heard it and called everyone to save people." Who knows what Liu Gongzi's clothes are called, and he can't pull them for a long time. ”

Thinking of the scene at that time, the maid trembled all over, and said with a pale face: "The water is good and goes directly to the bottom of the lake, and it turns out that it is a dead man's hand bone that hooked Liu Gongzi." ”

Liu Changhe was still awake after drinking a few sips of water, but when he turned his head to see the corpse leaning intimately against him, his head tilted, and he fainted.

The dead man's head was facing the direction of the lake, and the exposed part of the clothes had rotted, revealing a piece of white bone, but it was not completely rotten, and the remaining carrion was left on it, so it was particularly foul.

Only the finger part was completely white, so after Liu Changhe fell into the water, the sharp phalanges just hooked his clothes belt, stirring together in his struggle, so that he couldn't pull it apart.

Nangong stopped looking at him and landed on a piece of hemp rope on the deceased's waist and abdomen, "After death, people were tied up and sunk at the bottom of the lake?" ”

"Yes, Ah Wu went into the water and saw a big stone tied to him." The maid's face turned from white to blue, and she didn't know what to think, so she covered her mouth and couldn't help retching.

There are lotus in the lake, and every summer the people in the village will step on the boat to pick lotus pods and dig lotus roots, and now when I think of eating some of the things I eat, some of them may have been irrigated by corpses......

'Gasp-' everyone thought of it.

Therefore, when Lu Anran and others came, the lake retched together.

The second prince is in front, the eldest princess and the county lord of Ding'an are side by side, followed by a group of young ladies from the family, and Lu Anran and Yunqi are at the end.

The county lord of Ding'an was in a bad mood before she came, and if she wanted to ask who the person she hated the most before Lu Anran appeared, she didn't have to think about it, of course it was Su Xiangxiang.

However, from the home of a small four-grade official, he holds a shelf over there all day long, pretending to be a talented girl, and she is simply a cheap person who attracts bees and butterflies.

But Su Xiangxiang didn't let the county lord of Ding'an face, so Lu Anran's hatred suddenly increased, making her ignore Su Xiangxiang for the time being.

Today, I originally wanted Su Xiangxiang to play against the second prince and Nangong Zhi successively, she was going to lose just to extinguish her arrogance, humiliate her in person, and it would be okay if she won, and from today onwards she will definitely become the object of jealousy of the nobles of the royal capital.

calculated well, but Nangong Zhi directly crossed over to invite Lu Anran.

It's this Lu Anran again!

At the same time, the county lord of Ding'an was angry, but also had a strange pleasure.

Lu Anran's face, with an abominable face, is like a grimace, which is really good.

It's a pity that the county lord of Ding'an is up again, it would be even better if he gave everyone a look at it in front of him just now.

Therefore, as soon as he stood still, the county lord of Ding'an didn't look at the disgusting corpse, and said sarcastically: "Lu's spring banquet, is there a main meal here?" ”

Lu Jianyu leaned back, her eyes rolled white, and when she saw Lu Anran in a hurry, she hurriedly ran over, grabbed her clothes, and said with a sob: "Big sister, you are the eldest sister, the banquet has reached this point, what do you think should be done?" ”

Chunmiao raised her eyebrows, and instantly realized that Lu Jianyu was going to shirk her responsibility, so she immediately quit, "Second Miss, you shouldn't ask my young lady about this, the people in Zhuangzi are still familiar with Second Miss, why don't you ask Zhuangzi in charge, what's going on." ”

The implication is that you Lu Jianyu is a guest at the banquet, looking for Zhuangzi, and looking for her young lady.

The steward was a chubby and shrewd middle-aged man, who ran over and sweated profusely when he heard the news, "This! This ...... "Where did you expect to fish out a dead man at the bottom of the lake, and then look at the nobles in the audience, the roots of his teeth are straight out, "Zhuangzi is absolutely clean, this dead man has nothing to do with our Zhuangzi!" ”

"Steward Liao, you can't say that, are we still bringing the dead? Go and see for yourself, rotten like this, I don't know how many years you have been dead, you still dare to hold a banquet with dead people hidden in your Zhuangzi, you are so bold! Lu Jianyu was shocked and angry, she couldn't find an outlet, and when she faced the steward, she immediately made a fuss.

"You're in charge here?" The second prince stepped forward.

As soon as the steward heard the identity of the person, his feet were soft and knelt directly on the ground, "Xiaomin has seen the second prince, the second prince Mingjian, this dead man really has nothing to do with our Zhuangzi, and Xiaomin doesn't know where he came from, Xu ...... Xu is a bandit, panicking in the middle of the night......"

"Impossible." Nangong Zhi interrupted his conjecture, and the next sentence made the steward's heart sink, "There are bundles of stones on his body, and he is expected to kill him." ”

The second prince pondered for a moment and said, "Since there is a murder case, it should be reported to the government first." ”

Nangong Zhi: "I have sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

"Hmm." The second prince nodded, "You are always thoughtful. ”

Because of the discovery of the dead man, the spring banquet could not be held, but everyone could not leave immediately, and they could not leave until the government confirmed it.

It's just that there were a lot of women present, and the second prince sympathized with them and didn't fit to stay here, so he arranged for the people in the village to go to the front garden, and a few less courageous sons of the family followed.

Yunqi secretly whispered to Lu Anran: "Yuan Fang is coming, slip away." ”

Lu Anran couldn't help but be speechless, although people have cheated you once, you did it on purpose, do you want to do this.

"You don't understand, the surname Yuan is used to singing, and I have a headache when I see it."

Lu Anran glanced at the lake a few more times, causing Yun Qi to laugh and say: "You are really doing a line of love, and seeing a corpse is more fiery than looking at a lover." ”

The two were about to leave with the flow of people, and the eldest princess over there whispered softly: "Shouldn't the murder be attributed to the Criminal Division?" ”

These words reminded the second prince, "Didn't the Si Cheng of our Criminal Division happen to be here?" "I looked up and looked around, and it fell on Yun Qi," Yun Shizi. ”

Yunqi turned around helplessly, knocked the jade fracture fan on the door of his head, and sighed and smiled bitterly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, what kind of grudge do we have." ”

Princess Celestia looked back, pursing her lips and revealing a light smile.

"It's a coincidence, not only those who manage the case, but also those who do it." The county lord of Ding'an raised his eyes slantedly, and said in a cool voice: "Isn't it, Miss Lu." ”

Everyone's eyes focused on these two people in an instant, and even the sons of the families who had walked a few steps stopped to look at each other, and inadvertently became encircled.

In the center of the crowd, men and women stood side by side, one holding a fan and shaking gently, smiling at the corners of his mouth, his expression was casual, his demeanor was crazy, and the other was like a green bamboo, his expression was calm, outside the mask, a pair of eyes were dark and clear, like still water flowing deep.

It's obvious that others are watching their jokes, but being stared at like this, they become a joke themselves.

"Ah, that's not good, that corpse...... It's a man. In the silence, a small exclamation was made, and he said in a hesitant voice.

Meng Shizhao didn't need to look at the voice to hear that it was her sister who didn't want to find a sense of existence nowhere.

The county lord of Ding'an snorted coldly: "Do you have to pick the corpse before you can examine it?" ”

The second prince and Nangong Zhi also looked at Lu Anran, the former hesitated, forcing a woman to examine the man's body in public was inevitably ungraceful, and the latter had a calm look in his eyes, but he didn't open his mouth to stop it, and he had the intention to prove his guess.

In addition to the county lord of Ding'an, there was another person who was a little depressed.

Su Xiangxiang failed to amaze the Quartet again as she wished, she had already missed the Jixia Palace, and if she missed the opportunity again, she really wanted to be her wife from the fourth grade.

Yu Guangxu lifted it, withdrew it from the second prince's body, and said loudly: "The courtiers think that it is really inappropriate to be like this in front of you, it is better to let people cover it up a little, and then inspect it, so as not to be exposed in front of it, which is not very decent." ”

"No."

"Nope."

Voices spoken at the same time, from two different people.

Su Xiangxiang glanced at Nangong Zhi first and asked Lu Anran: "Why is Miss Lu opposed?" ”

Lu Anran looked at her and said in a calm tone with no emotion: "The autopsy is one of them, and the scene is also very important, so it must be a last resort and cannot be destroyed." ”

"But ......," Su Xiangxiang furrowed his brows, "The deceased hasn't been dead for many years. "Even if this is the scene, it is not the original scene.

"The autopsy is inconclusive, and everything is still in doubt." Lu Anran said lightly.

Nangong Zhi agreed: "Yes, human life is at stake. ”

The county lord of Ding'an hid the resentment in his eyes, and stood on the side of Nangong Zhi, just blocking the possible visual communication between the two, "Since Miss Lu is so righteous, let's start." ”

As Yunqi said, Lu Anran is a little interested in the corpse by the lake, but she also has her own pride as the daughter of the Lu family, and she will not follow the will of the county lord of Ding'an, and become a horse monkey watching the drama for everyone.

When Lu Anran was about to speak, Yun Qi took the first step and said, "Oh, the horses of Jingzhao Mansion are not good or Lord Yuan is old, why haven't you come yet." ”
