Chapter 3: The Scene

Lord Min took two steps back, almost unable to stand on his feet, Qiu Cheng supported him very politely, lowered his eyebrows, and his voice was very small: "Lord Min, please stay, Lord Shen just wants to retry this case, no matter what the result is, it will not affect Lord Min's career, because this is not within the scope of Lord Shen's interest at all, please rest assured." ”

Shen Nianyi's pace was steady and powerful, Sun Shining was far behind, and when he saw the daylight outside the house, he could clearly see the moon-white narrow-sleeved long dress he was wearing, his black hair was neatly tied, his sword eyebrows were starry, his body was long, and he was indescribably handsome and elegant, and he turned his face slightly, and he was also looking at her, seeing that she was filthy and dirty.

Sun Shining couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, hurriedly lowered his head, didn't dare to look at him, in his ears, heard Shen Nianyi a chuckle, the smile was clear, obviously he would not laugh on such an occasion, she was afraid that she was charming, and secretly used three fingers to pinch her thigh, sometimes, the pain can make people extremely sober.

There was a ball of cloth in front of him, but it was Shen Nianyi who took the cloak from Qiu Cheng's hand and threw it over, still disgusted and contemptuous: "Don't put on the cover yet." ”

The Sun family was not far from the mansion, and the carriage and horses came in a hurry, stopping in front of the four pure white lanterns picked up in front of the door.

"Qiu Cheng, bring Miss Sun over." Shen Nianyi squinted slightly, the huge laying word came into view, the bones of the Sun family were not cold, and the eldest daughter was wrongfully imprisoned, this scene was too fake and too anxious.

Sun Shining helped the car down, stumbling step by step, pulling the cloak wrapped around her body tightly with both hands, as if covering the most unbearable appearance for her, her facial features were hidden in the hood, and she couldn't see it really.

"Only when you enter the Sun family can you completely clear your unjust case, don't be impatient, don't say the wrong thing." Shen Nianyi walked up the steps, but he didn't expect that the first time he came to Sun's house, it was actually when he came to the funeral.

Qiu Cheng patted the door, and the one who answered the door was Hu San, the steward in the front yard, dressed in sackcloth, and looked a little vigilant when he saw the unfamiliar face: "I don't know who this son is looking for?" ”

Shen Nianyi stepped forward in person: "I have some relationship with my grandchildren, and I heard the bad news, so I came to condole." ”

Hu Sanyi's triangular eyes looked up and down, but he didn't let him go: "Madame takes care of it, there are many things in the house, and there is no time to catch up, and all outsiders are gone, please go back, son." ”

Shen Nianyi glanced at Qiu Cheng, Qiu Cheng pressed his palm against the door that was about to be closed, and a red bronze gilt waist card was sent directly to Hu San's nose: "You first see what this is, and then say what stupid words you can't see outsiders!" ”

After speaking, he didn't give Hu San a chance to reverse at all, and directly pushed the door straight, and the three of them went straight in, as if there was no one around.

When Sun Shining walked past Hu San, he peeked at him and saw that his whole body was trembling, and he didn't dare to ask another word.

Second Mrs. Sun had already heard the movement in the back room, and sent her personal maid to come to the peony, the peony was much calmer than Hu San, smiled before speaking, and greeted the person in the front hall: "Mrs. died of illness because of the old man, exhausted, has been sick in bed, has not seen a guest for a few days, heard that it is the official lord coming, so he struggled to get up, and bothered the two officials to wait for a while, the maid first made tea for the official." ”

The words were very ingenious, and the peony was a rare beauty, that is, the official messenger really annoyed Hu San, and was also cleared by her two sentences, and the tea served was the best Taiping Monkey Kui, the tea fragrance was faint, and the smell was calm.

Sun Shining subconsciously stood in the shadows behind Shen Nian, but Peony didn't seem to pay attention to her at all, and blindly whispered about the pain and illness of the second lady after the loss of her husband, and Shen Nianyi opened the teacup, did not send it to his lips, a pair of dark eyes, looking at the tea, silent.

was so still and moving, but it seemed that the peony was chattering, and after three or two sentences, she noticed it herself, and she couldn't say any more.

Shen Nianyi put the teacup on the desk and said slowly: "I don't know how long it will take for the lady of your mansion to get dressed and get up, if you don't come for half a day, will you let people wait for half a day in vain?" ”

Peony smiled embarrassedly: "My lord said that I laughed, Mrs. will come in a moment, and will come in a moment." ”

"Since the second lady is not coming, then this official will ask you first, a few days ago, the murder case in your mansion must be known to the whole mansion." Shen Nianyi's tone was very light, just like the Biqing tea soup at hand.

"Of course the maid knows that half of the lady's illness is also for this case, but the maid, as a subordinate, can't say much about the rights and wrongs of the master's family." Peony bit her lip and looked behind him, consciously or unconsciously.

"It's really a good girl who has been trained by everyone, and she doesn't leak anything when she talks about it." As soon as Shen Nian stood up, he was about to walk out.

Peony was in a hurry, where to stop him, and said with a smile: "Where the adults are going, the maid will lead the way." ”

"This official is going to take a look at Master Sun's mourning hall."

"My lord, please come with your servant." Peony hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to brush his meaning.

Sun Shining arrived in front of the mourning hall, saw the white candle on the case, the ebony coffin, where could he still hold back and not say nothing, the whole person fell forward, and cried and cried: "Dad, my daughter is not filial, my father's bones are not cold, but my daughter can't serve in front, my daughter is not filial, my daughter is not filial, my daughter is not filial." ”

She fell to her knees on the cold ground, kowtowing incessantly, her forehead thumping on the ground, her hood scattered, her hair scattered, and the smell of blood mixed with the sour smell of blood, like a ghost.

Qiu Cheng lowered his head and looked at his hand, he could obviously hold her, but he was stopped by Shen Nianyi's eyes, the meaning of the adult was to ask her to hide her identity before entering the door, who knows, Sun Shining couldn't hold it at all when he saw Lingtang, how should he move this next move?

Peony looked at Sun Shining, who didn't look like a human or a ghost, and muttered, "This, isn't this a big girl?" ”

Shen Nianyi was paying attention to the peony's expression, and the eldest girl who blurted out had already confirmed Sun Shining's identity, she was indeed the eldest daughter of the Sun family, and the eldest daughter who only recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors three months ago.

Sun Shining's cry was terrible and sad, her eyes were black for a while, the whole mourning hall seemed to be a bottomless abyss, the boundless darkness pressed on her heart, in prison, those grievances that were swallowed hard by pressing her teeth, overwhelming her, and in the blink of an eye, she could be completely swallowed up, unable to speak, breathless, heart-rending pain, so sharp and heavy.

She almost wanted to die on top of the coffin, so that she could finish such a difficult pain.

Shen Nianyi looked at her silently, the brazier was burning with yellow paper tin ingots, and the flames suddenly soared, almost licking her cheeks, she didn't care about it at all, suddenly, his eyes lifted, looked at the door, no matter how soft the footsteps were, they couldn't avoid his ears.

Xue Rujing, the second wife of the Sun family, was plain all over, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was pale, she really seemed to be very sick, she was supported by a little girl, she walked in two steps and stopped, and walked in front of Shen Nianyi, and bowed: "The people's woman Sun has seen an adult." ”

"No need to be polite, the official came to visit, firstly, to find out the facts of the case, and secondly, to put a stick of incense on the deceased." Shen Nianyi said in a deep voice,

Xue Rujing was secretly taken aback when she heard this, and then saw Sun Shining, who was crying hoarsely on the side, and her face was still unshocked: "Peony, don't bring incense sticks for adults." ”

As soon as Shen Nian finished the incense, he got straight to the point and said, "Since Madame has come, the official wants to go to Miss Sun's house to have a look." ”

"That house has become a murderous house, and since the day she was taken away, the door has been sealed by the government, and no one has ever entered it again." Xue Rujing remained silent and replied calmly, "Since it is the government and there are adults again, it is natural that you can check it anytime and anywhere, Hu San, I went to get the key and opened the door of the eldest girl's courtyard." ”

Shen Nianyi looked at the seal on the courtyard door and motioned for Qiu Cheng to step forward and open it.

"This is a seal approved by Lord Yin Min of the Government of the Mansion." Xue Rujing said lightly.

Shen Nianyi couldn't hear the meaning of her words, Qiu Cheng took out the waist card of Dali Temple again, Xue Rujing took it with both hands, and looked at it very carefully: "It turned out to be the adult of Dali Temple, is it the case of the eldest girl has changed and fluctuated, since the eldest girl was imprisoned, the women are restless day and night, the old man's bones are not cold, the eldest girl has such a big event, but the women did not notice her thoughts earlier, how to explain this to the ancestors and ancestors, if the eldest girl is wronged, the adult washed away the grievances for her, then thank God, It must be the old man who knows under the spring, and the old man blesses the descendants of the Sun family. ”

Shen Nianyi never spoke, once his handsome and elegant facial features calmed down, he was not angry and arrogant, and it was extremely intimidating, especially his eyes were black and white, handsome and shimmering, Xue Rujing's voice gradually lowered, he still patiently waited for Qiu Cheng to carefully open the seal, push open the courtyard door, he walked in the front and arrived in front of the door.

As Lord Min said, there were already a large number of blood stains left at the threshold, spreading all the way to the house, which was even more amazing, and now although the blood stains had dried up, the smell was still very choking, only Shen Nianyi looked calm, and walked around the outhouse.

There was no blood in the inner room, the door seemed to be a watershed, and it was very clean, even the bedding was neatly stacked, the pillows were set aside, and there was an unfinished book on the table, which had not been touched when the lid was closed.

Shen Nianyi picked up the book casually, it was a line book of flowers, a common color in the book market, so he put it down again.

When he came out of the house again, he stopped at the place where the blood stains were most obvious and slowly squatted down: "You let this house be dirty like this? ”

"At that time, Lord Min said that the place where the crime was committed was the most critical, and it would not be washed away until the case was handled, and the courtyard door was directly sealed, and who was so bold as to dare to come here." Xue Rujing asked and answered, which was very reasonable.

Shen Nianyi's fingers rubbed a few times on the ground, and the fingertips twisted lightly, and the red fine powder fell on the palm of the other hand.
