Gu Yuzhu took out a handkerchief and wiped off the mud spots on his face, and asked curiously: "This is all right, won't it be washed away again?"

"No, very stable." Song Chengye said as few words as before, but every word exudes reassurance.

Gu Yuzhu let out a foul breath, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face, "That's really great, you should be able to go home tomorrow, right?"

On the other side, several officials came to discuss the follow-up with Song Chengye.

Unexpectedly, they happened to see the two of them leaning close to each other, whispering.

A group of officials almost turned into sour chickens on the spot.

Ah!

Why, such a lady belongs to someone else's family?Why, they can only be alone?

Gu Yuzhu always felt that eyes were cast on him, and when he turned his head...

"Ahem." She quickly stood up straight, and smacked Song Chengye's belly with her elbow, "They came to see you, probably because they have business to discuss, you should talk to them first, the matter here is over, I still want to I'm going to see who wants to hurt you..."

But before he finished speaking, an official came to report in a hurry.

"Master Song, it's not good, the person who attacked you that day died."

"what?"

Gu Yuzhu rushed to the scene in a hurry.

On that day, the person who attacked Song Chengye was a man with a very ordinary face. He was in his early thirties, not tall, but he was tall and strong, with fine calluses on his fingers. He was a man who was good at using weapons.

But now, the death of such a person is quite miserable.

The other party was strangled to death with a rope. The reason why he didn't make a sound was that a rag was stuffed into his mouth. Now, that rag was also stained red with blood.

There were no clerks in the station for water control, and the officials who guarded the men were barely squeezed out. They didn't know what to do, so they had to leave the men where they were and invite someone who could make the decision.

Today, the two officials are anxious.

After all, they were improperly guarded.

Gu Yuzhu personally checked the wounds on the man's body, and after confirming that the man was strangled to death, after about two hours, she couldn't help clenching her fists.

damn it!

She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked: "When did you find out that this person was dead? Also, from yesterday to today, has anyone approached this tent? I remember that the two of you should have slept in this tent. Taking turns to be on duty, logically speaking, this should not happen."

The two officials were already terrified, but when they heard her question, they knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Madam, we, we are guilty."

One of the officials shivered and said, "It's true that the two of us took turns keeping vigil, and no one had ever approached the tent, but this morning, both of us fell asleep, and when we woke up, I saw...that this man was dead."

The other also said: "Madam, wait, we really didn't fall asleep on purpose, but for some reason, we didn't hear any movement."

Gu Yuzhu looked at the two officials thoughtfully.

From her angle, she could clearly see the panic on their faces.

This fear does not seem to be fake.

But there are more people who can act in this world, and she didn't easily believe what the two said.

"You guys get up first, you can't be entirely blamed for the matter, you don't need to kneel down." Gu Yuzhu waved his hand and quickly called them up.

Firstly, she doesn't like others to kneel down to her at every turn. Secondly, she has no official position and no imperial orders. Nice to hear.

The two officials quickly got up.

Coincidentally, Song Chengye had already dealt with the outside affairs and came over, not only him, but also other officials who heard the news.

Seeing the man's death, everyone frowned, and some turned their heads away, unable to bear to look any longer.

"This is too miserable." Someone said uncomfortably, "The tongue is sticking out."

"I don't know who did it."

Suddenly, someone muttered strangely: "Could it be that someone vented his anger and killed him in a fit of anger?"

Although the sound was very small, it seemed so loud in this quiet tent.

At least everyone in the tent heard it.

All eyes were on the man who spoke.

Everyone was speechless.

You're almost pointing at Mr. Song and Mrs. Song's noses and calling them murderers.

Gu Yuzhu also looked over.

Oh, it's a coincidence that the person who spoke was none other than the imperial doctor Wang who had a feud with her yesterday.

Under normal circumstances, Gu Yuzhu would not bother to pay attention to this kind of idiot who wanted to die.

Can't stand it is not normal now.

A good clue died inexplicably. What's more, at the scene, she could hardly find any directional evidence. In other words, this anticlimactic assassination almost ended here.

This made Gu Yuzhu feel powerless for a while, and was very annoyed at the person behind the scenes.

Physician Wang just hit the muzzle of the gun.

Gu Yuzhu winked at Song Chengye: This guy is not a good guy, let's get rid of him first!

Afterwards, a sneer escaped from her lips and teeth: "Who do I think is here to confuse the public with demonic words? It turns out that it is the imperial doctor Wang who put tens of millions of people in the fire and water for his own personal grievances."

In just two sentences, the smell of gunpowder rose instantly.

Several officials at the scene exchanged glances in private tacitly, and none of them spoke for Dr. Wang.

Physician Wang is like a cat whose tail has been trampled on, and he is so guilty that he jumps his feet: "Poisonous woman, don't think that you are the wife of the servant of the official department, so you can pour dirty water on my head casually."

Song Chengye clenched his palms almost instantly, and he said coldly, "The birds will peck if they are poor, and they will not shed tears when they see the coffin."

Obviously his tone didn't fluctuate in any way, but being stared at by those pitch-black pupils, Doctor Wang felt a chill in his heart.

He couldn't stop taking two steps back.

But immediately he was a little angry because of his own fear and retreat, and he said angrily: "Are you trying to use force to persecute? So many adults are watching!"

"Hey, let me see who wants to use power in broad daylight." A slow, soft voice came from outside the tent.

Gu Yuzhu was almost too familiar with this voice.

——Wen Liuxuan!

Sure enough, Wen Liuxuan walked in with a group of officials wearing special official uniforms from Dali Temple.

The former also held a folding fan in his hand, with a suave look that was incompatible with this place.

Gu Yuzhu couldn't help complaining silently in her heart, this guy seemed to be on a spring outing.

But after knowing each other for a few years, she knew very well in her heart that Wen Liuxuan was an eagle staring at rabbits, a dog guarding bones, a guy who hunted all the time.

It is no accident that he will appear here.
