Chapter 18, I'll be waiting for you to arrest me at the princess's mansion

If this corpse is Fang Jixiang.

The time of death was morning, so close to the time when the princess's palace guards left.

From the imperial capital to Jiaozhou, it only takes two hours for the official road to work, and many people come and go during this period.

How did the murderer wait for the guards to leave unconsciously and kill Fang Jixiang.

And, what was the purpose of the murderer's beheading of Fang Jixiang?

If this corpse is not Fang Jixiang, then where is the real Fang Jixiang?

Zhuang Guangxu has been paying attention to this Shangguan Lan, from the day Shen Qi smashed Luanxiangyuan, he cried like a shrew on the ground and grabbed the ground, to now he is not afraid of danger, this man seems to have thousands of faces.

And how can a person who can do this be an ordinary bustard?

Shangguan Lan should know very well what he was about to face when he arrived at Dali Temple, and he still showed this unusual side even though he knew what he was going to do.

Is he really not afraid of torture?

What did Shangguan Lan rely on to perform such a play in front of herself, You Jingnan and Zhuo Lingfeng? What can I rely on to ensure that I can get away with the punishment in the face of punishment?

What is so special about him? Or is the power behind him monstrous?

What Zhuang Guangxu could think of, You Jingnan and Zhuo Lingfeng naturally thought of, and the three of them glanced at each other inadvertently.

Zhuang Guangxu remained silent and continued: "You judge that the corpse is Fang Jixiang, just because the corpse is wearing Fang Jixiang's clothes? ”

"My lord, you don't know, Jixiang likes the princess to like tight, and this dress was given to Jixiang by the princess. After that, Jixiang specially engraved his name on it, this dress is his treasure, he can't give it to others, even if there is the same clothes, there can't be an auspicious name on it! ”

As she spoke, Shangguan Lan lifted a corner of the clothes on the corpse for everyone to see.

The master bookkeeper on the side stepped forward, looked at it carefully, and nodded to Zhuang Guangxu.

"When you sent Fang Jixiang away, was he wearing this dress?" Zhuang Guangxu asked the guards.

"Yes, my lord, the clothes Fang Jixiang is wearing are exactly the same as the clothes on this corpse. But the little one didn't know that Fang Jixiang's name was on the clothes, so the little one didn't ask for verification. "The guards are very careful in their words.

"What did Her Highness the Princess say?" Zhuang Guangxu turned to Shen Qi and asked.

Shen Qi didn't pay much attention to the clothes, but she did seem to have sent them.

Why did you send it?

- Princess, if you want to know what the colt thinks of you, there is a way for auspiciousness.

- What's the solution?

- You send a dress to Jixiang in front of everyone, and then see what the mood of the colt is, if the colt is very unhappy, it means that the colt has you in his heart.

- Really?

- Seriously.

"Your Highness?" Zhuang Guangxu saw that Shen Qi didn't speak, so he asked again.

Shen Qi moved to the side of Fang Jixiang's corpse, Fang Jixiang's body had been wrapped before, she hadn't looked at it carefully, and then Shen Qi looked at it seriously.

After that, her gaze stopped at the word "auspicious" embroidered on Fang Jixiang's clothes.

Shangguan Lan looked at Shen Qi and said, "Princess, Jixiang has been with you these days, you shouldn't forget his handwriting, right?" This is embroidered by auspicious according to his own handwriting. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and kowtowed to Zhuang Guangxu again: "My lord, there are still words and embroidered items written on weekdays in the Luanxiang Garden, you can send someone to verify whether this is the handwriting and embroidery of Jixiang himself." ”

Zhuang Guangxu glanced at the officials on the side, and the officials clasped their fists and saluted and left.

"Does Your Highness recognize this dress?" Zhuang Guangxu looked at Shen Qi and asked.

"Yes, I've sent the same clothes as this one." Shen Qi admitted.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, why do you want to chew words like this?" Shangguan Lan said indignantly.

Zhuang Guangxu knocked on the shocked wood: "Silence!" ”

"Shangguan Lan, with just one piece of clothing, there is no way to prove that this person is Fang Jixiang, I can cure you of the crime of slandering the princess!"

"My lord, if he is not auspicious, then where is the real auspiciousness? If he is auspicious, and the murderer is not from Princess Shu Ning's Mansion, then who is the real murderer?! ”

Shangguan Lan said loudly.

This is a very bold statement.

Although it is only two questions, it is simply a slap in the face for Zhuang Guangxu.

A headless corpse was found in the outskirts of the imperial city, doesn't Dali Temple care?

Impossible.

"Huh." Shen Qi suddenly sneered.

"Princess Shu Ning, what are you laughing at?" Shangguan Lan asked.

"What do the two questions you just asked have to do with me?" Shen Qi said coldly.

Shangguan Lan was stunned.

Yes, is it Fang Jixiang who died, where did he die, how did he die, who killed him, as long as the murderer is not Shen Qi or anyone from the Princess Mansion, what does it have to do with Shen Qi?

"But princess," Shangguan Lan rounded the question back, "If the grass people's previous question is not answered, this corpse can only be auspicious, and the murderer can only be you." ”

Zhuang Guangxu can't wait to break this Shangguan Lan into pieces at this moment.

Are you smart? As far as you know? How many of us don't know? Can you say it?

"Then wait until you find the real culprit and then question me!" Shen Qi squinted at Shangguan Lan.

Shen Qi faced everyone in front of her, she stood up straight, without the slightest flinch or fear.

"I'm in the Princess's Mansion, I'm waiting for you to arrest me, as long as there is evidence to prove that Fang Jixiang was killed by anyone in my Princess's Mansion."

After speaking, Shen Qi threw up his sleeves, turned around, and the skirt on his body spun in an arc in the air, and finally stopped on the ground.

"Then in that case, please stay in Dali Temple for a while." Zhuang Guangxu said to Shangguan Lan.

Shangguan Lan kowtowed and didn't say anything more.

The officials stepped forward, some of them set up Shangguan Lan, and some of them carried the corpse and gradually left.

In the main hall of Dali Temple, only Zhuang Guangxu, You Jingnan and Zhuo Lingfeng were left at this time.

"What do you two adults think?" Zhuang Guangxu asked.

"How can you prove that this corpse is not Fang Jixiang?" You Jingnan said, "That day, Princess Shu Ning changed her normal and left Fang Jixiang's room, and then Fang Jixiang's behavior was also unusual, this matter is already well known, what happened that night?" If it is not made clear, then the motive for the crime of 'resentment due to poor service' is confirmed. ”

"Hmph." Zhuo Lingfeng snorted coldly on the side, and the beard on his chin trembled, "Princess Shu Ning acted perversely in the past, and did evil, the old man has warned the emperor more than once, beware that Princess Shu Ning will always have an accident one day, take a look!" Sure enough. ”

"So the key points to figure out now are: first, where did the head of the corpse go, second, whether the corpse is really Fang Jixiang, third, who is the murderer, and fourth, if the corpse is not Fang Jixiang, where did Fang Jixiang go?"

Zhuang Guangxu glanced at the two of them, and after speaking, he stopped talking, and after a while, the three of them had to immediately enter the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

Zhuang Guangxu sighed in his heart.

He missed his wife's fragrant meal.
