Chapter 18: Something Happens at the Princess's Mansion
"The adults are too worried, I am not so fragile, my own affairs, I will handle it myself, and the affairs of those villagers will be left to the adults. I still have something to do in Shangshantang, so I won't bother the adults. ”
Ye Scarlet was deeply stunned after speaking, and turned around and left in a dashing manner.
Yan Jifan pursed his lips, this woman's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and she dares to arrange him to do things.
After pondering for a while, he still said to Cangshu: "Go and find out everything that those villagers said, sort out the evidence, and give it to the official in three days." ”
Ye Scarlet returned to Shangshan Hall, dealt with the backlog of things one by one, and then asked the guys to call people one by one according to the patient's appointment.
The villagers' affairs were handed over to Yan Jifan, and since Yan Jifan did not refuse, she was relieved.
Early the next morning, Song Yu asked someone to call her, saying that there was a case and asked her to check it.
Coming to call her on purpose is definitely not good.
But she is not a person who is afraid of things, if she doesn't go, Song Yu will think she is afraid.
When he came to Dali Temple, Song Yu had just come out of Dali Temple with his servants.
Seeing Ye Scarlet, Song Yu's face was full of pride: "Ye Yanzuo, I don't know how Lord Yan's illness is?" ”
The villain has a will.
Ye Feise complained in her heart, and a formulaic smile rose at the corner of her mouth: "If Lord Song really cares, why don't you go and see for yourself?" ”
"The official is willing and powerless, there are too many things in Dali Temple, the official is lacking in skills, the official is not Ye Yanzuo, and there is still time to take leave to go to the mountains and rivers."
Ye Scarlet smiled lightly, stroked his hair, and said in a mocking tone: "Alas, it is understandable that Lord Song feels that the doppelganger lacks skills, after all, how much ability to do great things, with Lord Song's ability to manage Dali Temple, it is indeed difficult for a strong man." ”
"Ye Scarlet, you dare to contradict this official!" Song Yu was so angry that he raised his hand to hit Ye Crimson.
Please Ying took a step forward with a sword to block in front of Ye Scarlet, and said coldly: "Lord Song, if my girl has anything inappropriate, you should also use the rules of Dali Temple to punish her, what is the way to say beating people?" ”
Song Yu's hand was still in mid-air, and he didn't dare to fight, and it was embarrassing to take it back.
At this time, Ye Crimson also raised her eyebrows, full of provocation.
When she thought that Song Yu would continue to be angry, Song Yu withdrew her hand and put on a generous appearance: "This official is not as knowledgeable as you, the case is urgent, don't grind your mouth here!" ”
With that, he strode out.
Seeing Song Yu like this, Ye Crimson's eyes gradually deepened.
It's not right.
It seems that this case is not simple, at least it may be bad for her, and if it is bigger, it may be against Yan Jifan.
But don't be afraid, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
Halfway through, she found that this was the way to the eldest princess's mansion.
Could it be that something happened to the eldest princess's mansion?
After walking for a while, the team really entered the eldest princess's mansion.
The crowd was led to the edge of the pond, where six bodies were lying neatly on the edge of the pond.
Things are certainly not simple.
Ye Scarlet narrowed her eyes, and she had already entered a battle state.
"Lord Song, I have already asked clearly, these people are all guards of the eldest princess's mansion, more than twenty guards have been killed and injured, and the eldest princess has also been injured." The official said.
As soon as he heard this, Ye Crimson saw the clue.
Before, the eldest princess handed over the redeployment of the guards in the palace to Yan Jifan to do, and it was only a few days before an assassin appeared and injured the eldest princess.
If the final result is found to be a problem with the guards, the eldest princess's injured pot will be thrown on Yan Jifan's body.
If you really let this pot fall on Yan Jifan's body, I am afraid that Yan Jifan will not be hurt and will cause a commotion at all.
"Ye Yanzuo, what are you still looking at, are you watching the excitement?" Song Yu said loudly.
Ye Scarlet came back to her senses, but did not move to look at the corpse, but said, "I want to go and see the eldest princess first." ”
Song Yu disdainfully: "The eldest princess is still alive and well, and you don't need to do anything to see it." ”
"Lord Song may have forgotten, in addition to being a puppet, I am also a doctor, and my colleagues in Dali Temple are very good, I believe that they can find out these corpses, could it be that Lord Song only believes in me and not others?" Ye Crimson asked rhetorically.
Sitting in Song Yu's position, he should also understand the truth that little ghosts are difficult.
If you offend too many subordinates, it will be difficult to guard against it in the future.
"Ye Cheng misunderstood, it's not that the official doesn't trust them, it's that you have to rely on Lord Yan, and the official doesn't dare not take a fancy to you, otherwise he wouldn't have specially called you along."
Song Yu is not a vegetarian either, and threw the pot on Yan Jifan's head.
Ye Feise didn't want to entangle this issue with Song Yu, so she said directly to the other servants: "I'm sorry for you here." ”
During this time, she got along with these colleagues quite well, and I believe these colleagues know what kind of person she is.
Seeing that Ye Scarlet was about to leave, Song Yu's face was cold, and he grabbed Ye Scarlet: "You dare to disobey this official!" ”
Ye Scarlet felt a pain in her wrist and wanted to shake off Song Yu.
But Song Yu's strength is very great, and the more she struggles, the more strength Song Yu has to hold her.
Please draw your sword to scare Song Yu away.
"Lord Song also knows, I am Lord Yan's person, is it strange to disobey you?" Ye Crimson rubbed her aching wrist, and her eyes flashed with mockery.
Ye Scarlet's attitude made Song Yu mad even more than angry.
"Ye Scarlet, this official told you that sooner or later you will regret it!" Song Yu pointed at Ye Scarlet's nose and shouted.
Ye Scarlet smiled coldly and went to the eldest princess's room.
The eldest princess already had a doctor by her side, and seeing that the eldest princess's expression was fine, Ye Scarlet did not directly treat the eldest princess, but asked the imperial doctor: "Is there any major problem with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?" ”
"It's just a knife wound to the arm and some fright, it's fine." The doctor replied.
Ye Scarlet gave the eldest princess a salute and said, "I know that it is a little inappropriate to ask the eldest princess at this time, but I still want to ask the eldest princess about the situation last night." ”
"It's okay, it's as it should be." The eldest princess waved her hand and said, "Last night, at about two o'clock, there was a lot of chaos outside, and I heard that there was an assassin, and the palace didn't pay attention to it at first, but the assassin was able to break through the defense and come in and stab the palace. ”
"Your Highness is saying that the assassin broke through the layers of defenses and only stabbed His Highness in the end?" Ye Scarlet suddenly grasped the point.
The assassins who couldn't even deal with so many guards came to the front of the eldest princess, and they only stabbed the eldest princess?
This thing is boring at first glance.
The eldest princess herself felt strange, and there was some doubt in her eyes: "The palace also feels strange, but at that time, the guards came in time and restrained this person, and then the assassin committed suicide by taking poison." ”
It sounds very reasonable, but this kind of thing still can't just rely on sound, it has to rely on on-the-spot investigation, and it has to rely on evidence to speak.
"Eldest princess, rest assured, the humble position will definitely find out the matter!" She assured.
If this matter is not investigated, Yan Jifan will definitely be in trouble, and Song Yu will be even more proud at that time.
The eldest princess's expression softened: "Lord Yan relies on you very much, the matter is handed over to you, this palace can rest assured, who do you want to ask, just go." ”
Ye Scarlet saluted again, thanked the eldest princess, and then slowly withdrew.
She called for the butler and took her to the wounded guards first.
The wounded guards were placed in the North Courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the north courtyard, Ye Crimson heard a wail.
"The old slave just told the eldest princess about the seriously injured guards, in fact, the guards in the house were more or less injured, and the people placed in the north courtyard were all seriously injured." The housekeeper explained.
Ye Scarlet sighed, and could only treat the seriously injured guards first.
It took about two hours for her to heal the guards' injuries.
He didn't bother to rest, and immediately asked the guard, who was still awake, "What was the situation last night?" ”
"The lowly duty was stationed in the courtyard on the south side, and at that time it was found that someone had broken into the princess's mansion, and the lowly duty took his brothers to try to capture the assassin, but the assassin's skill was not something that the lowly officials could stop, and many brothers were injured, but they still couldn't stop it, and then the lowly was seriously injured and couldn't move, and the situation after that is not known." The guard said.
Ye Scarlet asked several guards in a row, all of whom said this.
"Miss Ye, is there anything else you don't understand?" Seeing that she was still frowning, the housekeeper asked tentatively.
She shook her head, it's not that there is anything she doesn't understand, it's all the same, what else does she not understand.
But she still felt that things were not simple.
After thinking about it, she said to the butler, "Take me to the south where the Assassins have broken in." ”
From the north courtyard to the south where the Assassins broke in, you had to pass through the courtyard where the eldest princess was, but it was also a long distance from the courtyard where the eldest princess was to the place where the Assassins broke in, passing through a long corridor, a garden, and a rockery, which led to the south wall.
Ye Scarlet stood at the base of the wall and looked at the courtyard wall of the two people, and asked the guards who followed them, "Are you sure that the assassins chose this place to break in?" ”
The guard nodded very firmly: "If the girl doesn't believe it, you can ask others, everyone was there to see it at that time." ”
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just think it's a little weird." Ye Scarlet explained: "Isn't it the closest way to the eldest princess's room from here?" And the road to the eldest princess's house from here is tortuous, if it weren't for the people in the mansion or people who knew the eldest princess's mansion very well, how could they accurately find the eldest princess's house in such a chaotic situation in the dark night? ”
When she said this, the housekeeper also felt strange: "What the girl said is that the road from the south is indeed tortuous, but in fact, the north side is closer to the eldest princess's house, and there is a road directly to the eldest princess's house." For this reason, Lord Yan also strengthened the defense in the north, and also set up a sentry post in the middle to ensure that the guards could be immediately integrated to support something. Therefore, the Assassins may have chosen to enter from the south because they knew that the northern guards were being strengthened.
Ye Crimson shook her head.
It seems that the butler ignored her.
She suspected that there was a ghost in the house.
Now in broad daylight, even if she is allowed to walk back to the eldest princess's house by herself, she may not be able to do it.
Just looking at the map, I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly without actually stepping on the point.
But after all, what she suspected was that there was a ghost in someone's house, and she couldn't say anything without definite evidence, so she could only say: "Then let's look in the house again, maybe we can find some clues." ”
The group walked back again.
Walking and walking, Ye Crimson really made a discovery.
From the moment she entered the garden, she found that the blood was gone.
"Your guards have suffered casualties, so do you remember finding them in the garden?" She asked.
The butler and the guard looked at each other, and then they both thought about it carefully, and then they said in unison, "No." ”
There were no casualties in the garden, which meant that the Assassins had lost track of them when they reached the garden.
Missing a trace, that is, I don't know where this assassin went, and the one who might have gone to assassinate the eldest princess was not the one who broke in at all.
