Master Chen was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, he was dragged down by the officers and soldiers covering his mouth.

After Lord Chen left his sight, Luo Shenyan took two steps forward, and just about to say something, he saw Shang Xingchuan tilt his head, "Come out." ”

Jiang Ci paused and walked over.

Luo Shenyan looked at Jiang Ci, and at a glance saw that her clothes didn't fit well, and her hair was a bit casual, as for this person, he didn't know it.

Jiang Ci thought about it for a while, and bowed crookedly, "I've seen Lord Luo." ”

Luo Shenyan raised his eyebrows, "Miss Jiang? ”

His gaze turned between the two of them, and then the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and said, "Cheng Zhi, it seems that ...... What are you hiding from me? ”

Cheng Zhi, the small character of the business line.

Jiang Ci estimated that the two of them looked quite familiar, but these didn't matter, she asked Shang Xingchuan, "Your Highness, is what Lord Chen said true, Chen Rui died in the ice cellar of the Hou Mansion?" ”

Dying in an ice cellar seems to be the most reasonable place, after all, it's not yet the season to freeze people to death.

Shang Xingchuan didn't say much, just bowed his head.

Jiang Ci's eyes moved slightly, "Can I go and take a look?" ”

……

Half an hour later, Jiang Ci wore a long black hat, changed into a black skirt, and followed Shang Xingchuan like a ghost.

Dingnan Hou's Mansion is still closed today, and there are heavy guards inside and out, Jiang Hou has been an official for decades after all, so he will not be frightened, but the female dependents are different, when they eat breakfast, they all taste the same as chewing wax, and they dare not come out.

Speaking of the backyard of the Jiang family, it is also simple, Jiang Hou's wife only gave birth to one Jiang Ci, and because his health is not very good, he rarely comes out over the years, he belongs to a typical married couple, Jiang Hou also has three aunts, adding up to two boys and three girls.

Among them, the most favored is Aunt Fang, who used to be the concubine of a small official family, because of her good looks, she became an aunt, and soon gave birth to Jiang Yuyao, Jiang Huaisheng, Jiang You three children, two daughters and one son.

In addition to them, there is also a Jiang Mingxu and a Jiang Jinwei in the house, Jiang Mingxu has been away for a long time and only came back last month, Jiang Jinwei has a withdrawn personality, so even Jiang Ci has no impression of these two people.

Because Aunt Qing is favored, Jiang You and Jiang Yuyao's status in the house is actually not worse than Jiang Ci, they are both pampered girls, and they have never suffered hardship, Jiang You originally made an appointment with a handkerchief to buy jewelry today, but was blocked by the officers and soldiers, and he was still sullen when he had breakfast.

"Daddy...... If the eldest sister doesn't come back for a day, our house will be closed like this all the time? Jiang You looked at the officers and soldiers holding armor outside, and always felt stunned in his heart.

Jiang Houye said lightly: "Don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked." Jiang You pursed his lips and said, "How could that person die in our mansion?" It can't be really the eldest sister ......"

"Don't talk about it." Jiang Yu glared at her, "Eat yours well, if you don't want to eat, go back to the room and stay." ”

Although the two are compatriots of the same mother, Jiang Yuyao is usually not very close to her, and he puts on his sister's shelf at every turn, Jiang You is very dissatisfied, but because his father is here, he still doesn't say anything.

At the end of breakfast, Shang Xingchuan and the others arrived. Jiang Hou stepped forward and saluted, but saw that Shang Xingchuan was followed by a black man in addition to the guards, and he looked like a woman.

Jiang Hou said: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Yu, but this ......" He looked at the black man.

Jiang Ci originally thought that Shang Xingchuan would say a few words casually to prevaricate, but he didn't expect that this guy didn't seem to be going to speak! She was silent for a moment, and said in a calm voice, "Practice."

Jiang Hou: "?"

Everyone behind him: ?

Jiang Ci's voice was low, a little hoarse when she listened carefully, she didn't dare to say long sentences for fear of revealing the stuffing, so every word suddenly jumped out, "Excessive, dead." ”

"Transcendence, that, dead man."

Everyone: "......"

Wouldn't that be too much of a rush?

Looking at Jiang Hou's expression, he seemed to want to say something, but after all, this is King Yu, not to mention that people brought someone over inexplicably, even if he just wanted to immediately light a bonfire and dance around the scene of the crime, he would not be able to stop it.

Shang Xingchuan swaggered and took Jiang Ci to the ice cellar where the deceased's clothes were found, it was strange to say, obviously this was the Jiang family, and Jiang Ci, who had inherited the memory of the original owner, should be more familiar than him, but it turned out that he was more familiar with the road.

The two soon arrived at the ice cellar, which was built underground, isolated from sunlight and air, and the place was not large.

Several boxes and cages rested on the ground, containing fresh sweet potatoes and fruits, and against the wall were layers of thick ice, and there was about an inch of space in the middle, where the deceased's clothes were located, and a hairpin.

It seems that the people who found it here are quite smart and did not act rashly.

Jiang Ci stood on the last step, laboriously lifted the black veil on his hat, and turned back to talk to Shang Xingchuan, "Don't come down yet, who is the first to find here?" ”

The entrance of the ice cellar is relatively narrow, and when a merchant and a Jiang Ci come in, the entrance has almost been blocked, and the guards behind him handed over an oil lamp, Jiang Ci took it in his hand, and did not step in, but first looked at it with an oil lamp.

"Bring the servant here." Merchant Chuan Road.

The first to find this place was the servant who usually took care of the ice cellar, who was over half a hundred years old, with a thin body, with a bent back, and a cowardly look.

Shoyukawa asked, "When did you find out?" ”

The man said, "Just this morning, the servant was ordered by the eldest lady to open the storehouse, saying what he wanted to eat... Ice crisp, as soon as I opened it, I saw a pile of clothes here. ”

He cautiously brushed Shang Xingchuan's expression and said, "The servant also heard about that son last night, and felt that something might be wrong, so he immediately reported it to the eldest lady. ”

The eldest lady was not referring to Mrs. Hou, but Aunt Qing.

Although she is just an aunt, because Mrs. Hou has basically not come out in these years, the backyard of the house is completely under her control.

Jiang Ci put down the black yarn on the hat again, lowered his voice and asked, "Why is it reported to the eldest lady instead of the Hou Ye?" ”

The man noticed that there was a black rumbling figure here, and he was stunned for a moment before subconsciously saying, "That's what the eldest lady told us last night." ”

"What?"

The man said, "The eldest lady gave orders last night that if she found anything wrong, she should be told at once." ”

Jiang Ci's fingers moved slightly, but his mouth was the same, "And then?" ”

"Then the eldest lady said, let me wait for the people from the government to come, and told me not to go into the ice cellar, what I said is quite serious, I haven't touched anything here......

"When did you find out this morning?"

"Clear ...... Early in the morning, at the end of the day...... About two quarters? ”

At two o'clock, how did this big lady get up earlier than the chicken.
