On the fifth day of the accident of the lord of Baili.

Shen Zhan took Yue Yang to the Zhizhou Mansion.

As soon as they entered the mansion, several adults inside walked over to Shen Zhan, and they all arched their hands and said, "Master Shen, you are finally here." ”

Since the accident of the Baili Lord, in addition to the Baili family, who come to exert pressure every day, there are still many small people who come to inquire about it, but today it is strange that there are many carriages parked outside the Zhizhou Mansion.

Shen Zhan's expression was flat, and he said: "Ben Hou heard that the portrait given to the Zhizhou Mansion the day before yesterday seems to have made progress, so I will take a look." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xuan Zhizhou and Master Li came out of the mansion side by side, and the two of them also bowed their hands together, and first heard Xuan Zhizhou say: "Shen Xiaohou came at the right time." ”

Shen Zhan said: "Why did Xuanzhizhou say this? ”

Xuan Zhizhou touched the beard on his chin, and said meaninglessly: "The sixth princess is here, and several lords who are good friends with the Baili family are also here." ”

Shen Zhan frowned.

As soon as the news came out, some people couldn't sit still.

The group surrounded Shen Zhan and walked into the house.

The lobby was warm, and the Taishi chairs on both sides were full of people. Among the dark clothes, only a round figure with a touch of orange is the most eye-catching.

The sixth princess put the stove in her hand on the table next to her, and said, "You lords don't see you moving around on weekdays, why do you think about coming to the Zhizhou Mansion today, and I also heard that the person with the portrait has traces before coming?" ”

The lord of the Liu family glanced at her with contempt and asked rhetorically: "Now the first priority in Yu Sucheng is the murder of your grandfather, why, is it possible that the sixth princess is not here for the portrait?" ”

The sixth princess had a cold face, but she smiled reluctantly: "This lord is blunt, so very good, in a few days the palace will be at my grandfather's funeral, everyone here is so concerned about my grandfather, please come early that day." ”

The lord of the Liu family was speechless, and no one answered.

In addition to paying attention to etiquette, Huainan famous families also have a lot of scruples, especially when they go to the funeral on the occasion of the Shangyuan Festival, which is a big taboo.

"It seems that you don't really care about my grandfather."

The sixth princess glanced around them, her face disdainful, and at this moment, there was a sound of announcement outside.

The crowd paused their discussion and looked up.

Through the morning light through the bundle of flowers in the palace window, a group of people came from outside the house, and the most eye-catching thing was Shen Zhan, who was surrounded by this group of people.

Dressed in a dark color, his hair is like black ink, his steps are not slow or hurried, and he is extremely steady.

Everyone immediately got up and raised their arms in a proper manner: "Please Shen Xiaohou Ye An." ”

"You're here early, faster than the news is below." Shen Zhan hooked the corners of his mouth without a trace.

Several lords looked at each other and sneered silently.

Shen Zhan walked up, but suddenly heard an arrogant voice in his ears.

"Master Hou."

Shen Zhan stopped, looked at the sixth princess slightly, as if he had just seen her at this time, and said lightly: "It turned out to be the sixth princess, why did the sixth princess also come to the Zhizhou Mansion?" ”

"Naturally, I'm coming, after all, I'm also a member of the Baili family, and the Baili family has an accident." The sixth princess lowered her head slightly, and her tone was gentle.

Shen Zhan turned his head to the crowd: "I think you are all here for the case of the Lord of Baili, since this is the case, then please ask the six princesses and the lords of each family to go back to the house first." ”

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and they quarreled.

The sixth princess hurriedly said: "Master Hou, why is this?" ”

"Why?" Shen Zhan's eyes flashed with displeasure, and his tone was not good: "The Zhizhou Mansion is a place for the imperial court officials, not your private residence, when will the lobby of the Zhizhou Mansion become a meeting room?" ”

The crowd shuddered their shoulders.

In the past, they had also heard about the deeds of the Marquis of Ningbei, not only Shen Zhan, but also his grandfather Shen Ao and father Shen Zheng, all three of whom were military generals and had a great reputation in Zhaoguo.

Shen Ao, the Marquis of Ningbei, accompanied the first emperor to conquer the country and founded the Black Flag Army. And Shen Zheng and Shen Zhan have also continued the glory of Ningbei Hou until now.

I thought that people in their early twenties couldn't afford to turn over the storm, but now when these famous lords look at it again, they are a little stubble.

Xuan Zhizhou said at the right time: "Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of the Lord of Baili will definitely be explained to you, but now is not the time, please go back to the house and wait." ”

With the steps, it was difficult for everyone in the house to continue to hold on, and after a few words, they took their leave.

The lobby gradually quieted down, Shen Zhan looked at the sixth princess slightly, and said, "Benhou waited for me, but the sixth princess didn't hear clearly?" ”

The sixth princess's face was stunned, and she said, "Master Hou, is this even me going to catch up?" I'm from the Baili family. ”

Shen Zhan said: "The sixth princess is a member of the Baili family, but she is also the princess of the capital, how dare you disobey the rules set by Your Majesty?" ”

The sixth princess's face turned pale, she stomped her feet and turned around and ran, and the seven or eight martial maids behind her hurriedly followed.

Shen Zhan didn't care at all, and continued to walk towards the head, and before he could speak, he heard Lord Li at the bottom pat on the back and say: "The little marquis is really imposing, just after Xuan Zhizhou said for a long time, he couldn't leave these big people, and you actually got it in a few words." ”

Shen Zhan said: "Let's talk about business." ”

Xuan Zhizhou said: "It's Master Hou." ”

The neglected Lord Li smiled embarrassedly on his face, and for the first time he tasted the taste of a hot face and a cold buttocks.

"The portrait given by Hou Ye the day before yesterday, Xia Guan has posted the whole city, and even sent a lot of people in the house to go out to inspect, Hou Ye also sent a lot of people, but Yu Su City is huge, it is easy to hide a person, but it is difficult to find one, there has been no clue for the past two days, Xia Guan thought that this portrait may be wrong, it is because there is no clue for so long, but it is ...... in the morning" Xuan Zhizhou stopped talking, and waved lightly to the guard at the door.

A short time later, two guards walked in carrying a long shelf covered with a white cloth.

Xuan Zhizhou said: "This is the body found in the lower reaches of the Yusu River at three o'clock in the morning, when the person was found to have lost his pulse, the lower officials judged from his appearance, this is probably the person who killed the lord of Baili on the portrait." ”

Shen Zhan stood up and walked towards the long shelf on the ground covered by a white cloth.

Probably because in winter, the smell of corpses is not strong, but when you get closer, you can still smell a putrid smell.

Shen Zhan didn't shy away at all, squatted down and lifted the corner of the white cloth, the decomposition of the corpse was not serious, at least it was killed in the past two days.

"Can he be identified?" Shen Zhan said in a deep voice.

The lord of the Zhizhou Mansion was in charge of the murder, and when he heard this, he replied: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, this body was just transported back, and you haven't had time to check it yet." ”

Shen Zhan raised his eyes and gave him a cold look, and said mockingly: "This corpse was transported back late, but Ben Hou saw that the news spread quite quickly." ”

Master Li was speechless.
