Chapter 207: A Strange Case in the Capital
In addition to enthusiasm, Chu Shen is really a very eye-catching person.
He could actually see that Ning Xin didn't want to trouble himself very much.
So after moving into his home, he didn't show excessive enthusiasm.
just called two subordinates to come over and wait for the dispatch, and he left the garden on the pretext that he had something to do, leaving this place completely to Ning Xin and them.
Ning Xin suffered from motion sickness along the way, and she was a little unaccustomed to the water and soil at a young age, and after drinking two pairs of medicines, she fell asleep in a daze.
There are a lot of things messed up in the dream, and the sleep is not very stable.
But by the time she woke up, the discomfort in her body had eased a lot.
Fourth Uncle Yu was still guarding beside him, and when he saw her wake up, he explained: "Your grandfather Li went to cook porridge, I'm afraid you won't be used to their cooks here." ”
Li Gui is already a veteran of modern cooking under Ning Xin's tutelage.
No matter what Ning Xin wanted to eat, the old man seemed to be able to make it now after pondering it.
Fourth Uncle Yu helped her to sit up and leaned on the head of the bed.
He handed her another glass of water to moisten her throat.
The candles in the room flickered, and the moonlight from outside poured into the room.
Ning Xin was stunned for a while before she spoke: "Uncle, is Chu Shen back?" ”
Fourth Uncle Yu was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "Not yet, he said that he was going to investigate the case......
Ning Xin shook her head weakly: "No, he went to check on us." ”
"Huh?" Fourth Uncle Yu didn't believe it too much.
Because in his opinion, this Chu Shen is not like a person with such a deep mind.
Ning Xin said lightly: "He is far more acute than we imagined, he has been thinking about our reason since he saw us from the first time, and he must have gone to check the news in the capital at this time." ”
She was right, Chu Shen was a child from a family.
Since childhood, he has exercised an extremely powerful ability to check people's colors.
He had already seen for the first time today that something was wrong with Fourth Uncle Yu's face.
Of course, I can also see Ning Xin's withdrawal and uneasiness in the face of his invitation.
But he never expected that the root cause of these things would be King Heng's life experience......
Looking at the letter he had just brought back from the capital, Chu Shen didn't say a word for a long time.
He returned to his courtyard the next morning.
"Young Master Chu, you're back." What I saw was not my own subordinate, but the old man of Ning Xin's family.
The old man smiled, his face was very loving, and when he saw him, he said, "I must not have eaten breakfast so early, my little lady asked me to cook your favorite beef soup." ”
“…… Well, okay, I'll come back later. ”
Chu Shen didn't say anything, turned around and went to the bedroom to change clothes.
He came back so late to see if Ning Xin would leave with these people when he was away.
Unexpectedly, instead of leaving, they stayed seriously, and even cooked breakfast.
Chu Shen didn't know what kind of mentality he was in now.
When I changed my clothes and came out, I could already smell a fragrant smell of beef soup from a distance across the flower hall.
Chu Shen walked a few steps towards the flower hall quickly, and the speed under his feet was getting faster and faster.
What's wrong with him, Gu Fei or King Heng has nothing to do with him, why would he bury other people's lives in order to tie up a prince.
This meal was a joy for both the guests and the hosts.
As the owner of the house, Chu Shen was like a guest, gobbling up food.
"Uncle Li, your skills are really amazing, none of the chefs I am looking for here are as good as yours."
He sincerely admired Li Gui's cooking skills.
Li Gui was also quite proud, but he didn't forget to add: "It's all taught to me by my family's Xin girl, otherwise where would I have so many tricks." ”
Ning Xin snorted and ate the rice in the bowl, and waved her hand indifferently: "Little things, I just know how to move my mouth, and I still have to be Grandpa Li to really cook." ”
coaxes people to be happy, and she deserves to be this little girl.
Chu Shen likes to see Ning Xin when she gets along with others.
She really thinks that she is not that powerful, so no matter who says something, she is very tolerant and respectful.
After eating, Ning Xin and the two old men were still chatting.
Chu Shen wanted to participate for a while, but he was too tired last night and had already yawned at this moment.
I was ready to say goodbye and go back to my room to rest for a while.
But just as she was about to get up, Ning Xin suddenly spoke: "Brother Chu, are you investigating the case of Lord Feng's lost son?" ”
Chu Shendu's farts were already raised, and after hearing this, he immediately sat back in his seat.
He looked at Ning Xin in surprise and asked, "How do you know?" ”
Recently, there have been several bizarre cases in the capital.
Someone found dozens of corpses of young children in a dry well on the outskirts of Beijing.
The child's death was horrible.
Like a thin skeleton, his face was pale and he looked extremely terrifying.
This case is fierce and ruthless for anyone to see, and some people say that this is a very ancient witchcraft that uses the blood of young children to change their lives.
This incident caused a great shock among the people.
The emperor sent the case to Mo Qingyuan, the newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to investigate.
Mo Qingyuan found Chu Xintao to check the cause of death of those corpses.
Chu Xintao went to check the body all night, and found a very terrifying result.
All the children had their pulses cut open and all their blood drained, and they died of blood loss......
And it just so happened that one of the corpses was found to be Feng Ziying, the youngest son of Lord Feng of Shimen Zhixian County......
This Lord Feng has always been an honest and honest good man in front of people, but after finding out that his young son was lost and died in the capital after such a tragic news, he immediately couldn't sit still.
said that even if he tried his whole family's life, he must let the emperor give him an explanation.
The young son of the courtier died so bizarre and miserable, even if it was a little bigger, the emperor could only understand the thoughts of his father.
I had to put all the pressure on Mo Qingyuan.
Mo Qingyuan himself lacked skills, so he sent Chu Shen over to find out.
Although this case is very famous in the capital, there are very few people who know the purpose of their visit to Shimen City.
Unexpectedly, I was guessed by Ning Xin, a little girl, in a few words.
"That's true, so what's the best way for you to help me think of it?"
It's been a few days since he came to Shimen, and Chu Shen hasn't even seen Lord Feng himself until now.
This Lord Feng said that he was not confused to have such a young son, and now he is dying so miserably, saying that people fainted immediately after knowing about this incident, and now they have not woken up, so naturally they cannot receive Chu Shen from the capital.
"I haven't seen him all the time, and I don't know where to start this investigation." Chu Shen was very bored.
After all, this was the first thing Master Mo handed over to him.
As a reader's perspective who read the original book and opened the hanging.
Ning Xin naturally knew more than Chu Shen.
For example, this Feng Ziying is actually Lord Feng's illegitimate son, who came out of his outer room, because he was afraid of the inside, Lord Feng didn't dare to take this illegitimate son back to his mansion to raise him, and he had always been in the outside house.
Therefore, I also gave the kidnapper a chance to kidnap the little doll.
And now the reason why Lord Feng doesn't dare to see people from the capital is also very direct......
"Brother Chu, if I were you, I would first go and check Mrs. Feng's identity, and also find out who Mrs. Feng had come into contact with during the time when the child was lost......"
Ning Xin gave her advice as a god's perspective.
This matter is very simple, Lord Feng only has an illegitimate son like Feng Ziying, and he will return to the West in the future, and the inheritance in the family will definitely be given to this only illegitimate child.
Mrs. Feng is willing to watch her half of her life's hard work fall into the hands of the little beasts born by the little cheap hooves outside.
conspired with others to kidnap Feng Ziying.
But she didn't want to kill anyone, but she didn't know why, this Feng Ziying was sold to the capital and became a dried corpse under the dry well.
And why did Lord Feng shout before that he wanted the emperor to give an explanation, but now that people are coming, he is lying down.
The reason for this is also very simple, because he suddenly found out what his wife had done,
He wasn't afraid of what would happen to his wife, he was mainly afraid that he would be implicated.
So now I don't dare to see Chu Shen, and I even can't wait for him to stop checking and go back to the capital directly.
Ning Xin casually mentioned a few sentences, which can be regarded as a little bit of a dial for the little boy of the protagonist team.
Even if he finds out about this case later, it will not be harmful to himself.
Ning Xin felt that what she said was very secretive.
But Chu Shen is also a smart person, and when she mentioned it like this, Chu Shen immediately understood the meaning.
I didn't want to rest now, I only thanked Ning Xin, and then rushed out of the room as if flying, and ran to Feng's mansion to block people.
