Prince Sukh returned to the room and asked his men, "Have you found anything?" ”

The subordinates shook their heads: "I didn't find it, Luo Du, they have searched all over their bodies, and the room, no." ”

Prince Suhe's eyes were gloomy: "Look for it again, don't alarm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

"Yes."

If that thing can't be found, it means that Luo Du and the others didn't die in an accident.

Luo Du's caravan was nominally going south to do business, but in fact it was to do business for him.

It's just that no one can know about it.

Jiang Wanning was sleeping in a daze when she heard someone call her.

"Wake up, lady, Master Gu will send you to question!"

Jiang Wanning was excited and opened her eyes.

"What time is it?"

"It's almost over."

"Finished everyone else asking?"

"It seems that it is, it's just us and the next door." Yu Niang replied.

Jiang Wanning got up, combed a few strands of broken hair on her sideburns, pulled them behind her ears, and patted her face to make herself sober.

Yu Niang tied her cloak.

Mama Wang handed over the hand stove: "Lady bring this, it's cold at night." ”

"I don't need this, I'm going to be questioned, not to be a guest." Do you want to go with a hand-stove like a word?

Lin Ruoruo gave her a sachet: "Here are mint leaves, which can refresh your mind." ”

Jiang Wanning accepted the sachet and looked at their sad expressions one by one, as if she couldn't come back if she went, smiled slightly, and said with relief: "You don't have to worry, I'll be back soon." ”

Jiang Wanning followed the guards to the inquiry room, which was the same room that Ji Yunchen asked before.

Unexpectedly, after entering, I only saw Gu Zhou, and the others were not there.

Didn't you say that all the adults, including Prince Sukh, asked together?

Jiang Wanning gave a blessing: "The folk girl Jiang has seen Master Gu. ”

Gu Zhou stopped and motioned for her to sit down.

There was a small stove next to the table, on which a kettle was placed, and the smell of tea was bubbling and steaming.

"I'm sleepy, drink a cup of hot tea to refresh yourself, do you want Jiang Niangzi?"

Jiang Wanning's eyes were blazing when she looked at him, but she didn't look sleepy at all.

"Thank you, sir."

So Gu Zhou stopped and poured her a cup of tea.

Jiang Wanning held the tea cup in the palm of her hand and it was slightly hot.

The last time I had tea with him was the day before she set off for Gubei.

That day, Ji Yunchen and Xiao Wang were there, and everyone made an appointment to wait for her to come back and go to Wujun Mountain together.

He didn't talk much that day, as if he had something on his mind, but he had always been silent, so she didn't care, and had a good conversation with Ji Yunchen and Xiao Wang.

After the separation, he went back and said, "Nan Yu, you must be careful when you go to Gubei this time." ”

She smiled: "Did you give me a hexagram?" ”

He didn't deny it, his expression was serious and pleading: "It's better not to go." ”

She didn't know how many hexagrams he had given her in private, but he only told her this time, and as a result, she really died in Gubei.

His hexagram is really spiritual.

"How long have you known the little king?"

"Not long after, in early September, there was a relationship in Chen's Mansion, and this chance encounter at the post station is the second time."

He raised his eyes: "You have a relationship with the Chen Mansion?" ”

"It's the Song family that has a little friendship with the Chen family, but the Chen family is reasonable, and the people are ...... Mrs. Chen once administered justice for the people's daughters. Jiang Wanning looked down at the steaming water on the teacup with a sad expression.

Gu Zhou stopped and looked at her quietly, the words she wanted to say and stopped, was it something that the Song family did to be sorry for her?

He learned from Yang Xu what the Song family had done to her.

A woman who married Jiangcheng from Ningchuan had no relatives and no reason in Jiangcheng, was bullied by her husband's family, and almost lost her life.

Of course, she has money.

But even so, it was not easy for her to get out of the mud pit of the Song family.

But she did it, not only retreated, but also ruined the reputation of the Song family.

This woman is not simple!

The most simple thing is that at a crisis like last night, when he didn't even think about how to deal with it, she used a bracelet to resolve the tense atmosphere.

It's just that what is her purpose in helping Ji Yunchen?

Ji Yunchen had no other woman in his eyes except Nan Yu, but when he questioned Jiang Wanning, he spoke out to help.

The event was unusual.

"Mrs. Jiang is a smart person, I won't break some words, I invite you to ask you, did you notice anything unusual that night? Or rather, who do you suspect? Let's just talk casually, and I promise that what I say tonight will not reach the ears of a third person. ”

Jiang Wanning smiled bitterly: "Lord Gu looked down on the people's daughter, the people's girl was frightened that night, and the four masters and servants blocked the door early and fell asleep, until they were woken up by the sound of muttering early the next morning, and they didn't know that the people of Dayuan died that night." ”

"Oh? Went to bed early? Didn't you say you were frightened? Can you sleep? ”

Jiang Wanning said: "I arranged for someone to be on duty, Yu Niang in the first half of the night, and Mama Wang in the second half of the night, but Yu Niang was too tired to stay up, fell asleep, and didn't wake up Mama Wang in the second half of the night, fortunately nothing happened, otherwise she would have been deducted from her wages." ”

Gu Zhouzhu smiled meaningfully, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"The little county king asked you alone, everyone's confessions were recorded by Chen Qilang, but your confession was written by the little county king himself."

"And your confession is useless, so what can't Chen Qilang hear?"

"I know the little county king, he never does useless work."

Jiang Wanning said innocently: "The people's daughter is also puzzled, the people's daughter doesn't dare to guess the thoughts of His Royal Highness the County King, why don't you ask His Royal Highness the County King?" ”

Gu Zhouzhu felt more and more interesting about this woman.

The people who were called by him for questioning were all trembling, and even Chen Qilang was cramped and uneasy, only she was safe and could kick the ball back.

"Since Jiang Niangzi refuses to cooperate, then the official will interrogate Yang Xu and the others again, you have had a conflict with the people of Dayuan, and Yang Xu lives next door to Luo Du, there is a motive to kill, and it is convenient to do it, they are the most suspicious."

Jiang Wanning's face changed: "Do you want to bend into a move?" ”

Gu Zhou stopped and did not deny: "After the death of so many people from Dayuan, how can Prince Suhe give up, someone has to come out to apologize, and your person is the most suitable." ”

Jiang Wanning couldn't believe that these words came out of Gu Zhou's mouth.

Is this still the upright and dedicated Gu Zhouzhu she knows?

Jiang Wanning put the teacup on the table, and tapped the teacup with the middle finger of her right hand, as if she was smiling: "It turns out that what the adults want to investigate is not the truth, but just want to make a difference." That being the case, the folk girl has nothing to say, who let the folk girl be unlucky to catch up? ”

Gu Zhou's face was as usual, but his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

This small action, this tone, and the words spoken are exactly the same as Nan Yu.

He remembered that four years ago, they accompanied Xiao Wang to Yizhou to investigate the case of the loss of disaster relief silver, and met a dumb and incompetent dog official.

At that time, Nan Yu said the same thing in such a tone.
