After rebirth, I made the princes cry
Chapter 144 The woman with a curtain
Yingshu doesn't think Zhenli is the murderer.
It was impossible for Zhen Zhu to foresee that Zhao Fei's death would alarm the second prince, nor could she foresee that the second prince would firmly believe that the real murderer was an evil spirit in the palace and focus his attention on the palace guards. If Zhen Zhu was the murderer and a swindler who didn't know witchcraft, he would definitely be afraid of the government. How could he dare to publicize that he predicted Zhao Fei's untimely death and cast suspicion on himself. Unless, he is not the murderer at all and does not have the conditions to commit murder. Simply put, he has an alibi.
Sure enough, Zhen Zhu first emphasized that he was not the murderer.
"All the neighbors can testify that the villain has never left Nanzeli at all. He has just arrived and is living a difficult life. He is still two and a half months short of renting the house. Besides practicing witchcraft, he does not walk around the streets. The truth is that you have to sit around every day, waiting for believers to come asking for it."
Although the neighbors who shared the same courtyard with Zhen Zhu were very annoyed that the wizard turned out to be a liar, they were still willing to talk about it.
"I was the first to believe in him." The homeowner said: "I had a dog before, which was lost and could not be found. I wanted to give him a try and asked him for divination. He said that the dog had been stolen. I was a meat-eater and pointed me where to look. I was dubious, but when I asked, it turned out that there was a seven or eight-year-old naughty boy in Nanyong who said he saw some strong men hanging a yellow dog and taking the meat. After roasting it and eating it, I sold the skin to a family. I found that family and saw the skin, and it turned out to be my dog.”
"Actually, I led the dog to a secluded place, sold it to those strong men, and then followed them... I saw them kill the dog with my own eyes and sell the skin to others." Old Zhen Zhuan blushed. All of them.
The landlord spat at him: "I first believed that you did know witchcraft, and then I was willing to tell the neighbors that the money you charged for divination was small, and then they came to ask you for divination. However, although you are hateful, I must You said you can't be the murderer of Zhao's second daughter-in-law, two nobles. On the day Zhao's second daughter-in-law disappeared, I saw her at the gate of the square, walking towards the small market, but I didn't know at the time that she was going to the small market. The woman was quite squeamish and had to take a bus back to the small market. Zhao Er was also known to be stingy, so Zhao Er’s wife flattered the vendors at the entrance of the shop who made their living by pulling carts with mules and donkeys. she.
When I came back that day, I asked this liar about renting money. He said that he would be closed for a few days to practice martial arts and would delay for a few days. I believed him again. I provided him with three meals a day. Indeed, he never left the courtyard. "
"The villain was already penniless at that time..." Zhen Zhu sighed: "To be honest with you two nobles, the villain was waiting for the case to be revealed before he could turn around. Later I heard that Zhao Er reported to the police and Zhao Fei As expected, the villain is gone, and it is even more impossible for the villain to go out. If the villain does not go out, he will not be suspected by the government."
Ying Shu saw that the crowd had no objections. With so many pairs of eyes not seeing Zhen Cheng go out, it must be the truth. She asked him, "Tell me how you did your divination?"
"Actually, there was a woman who instructed the villain to divine evil fortunes for Zhao Fei. However, she only gave the villain 800 coins and a silver hairpin. The villain paid the rental fee of 800 coins. , I haven’t paid enough yet, and the little man with the silver hairpin has been afraid to take action, and now he’s still keeping it.”
"Who is that woman?" Ying Shu asked.
"At that time, the woman wore a curtain and her appearance could not be seen, but her clothes were not luxurious, and her cuffs were frayed."
When Zhen Zhuang said this, the house owner also remembered: "Yes, yes, when the woman came, I also saw it. The black curtain covered her knees, and she walked very slowly. I must have been affected too." She looked like a lady or an aristocratic woman, who would wear a curtain, but looking at her clothes, she didn’t look like she was from an aristocratic family at all, so I paid close attention to it a few times, and then asked the liar, and he also said that the woman was suffering from a serious disease. , the appearance is terrible, that’s why I cover it up like this.”
The landlord's daughter-in-law also slapped her forehead: "I also saw such a weird woman. Isn't she Fei's good friend Mrs. Du? I also asked Fei, and Fei said that Mrs. Du's eyes can't see the light of day. , so I only wear a curtain when traveling during the day.”
Ying Shu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then asked Zhen Ran: "Did Mrs. Zhao Fei take the initiative to ask for divination?"
"No, the woman who bribed me was very sure at that time. She said that Zhao Fei would take the initiative to ask for divination. The reason was that the statue of the God of Wealth enshrined was broken. I just said... Alas, the villain is guilty. At that time, I thought that someone might It will harm the Zhao Fei family, but then I think about it, if the Zhao Fei family really suffers a misfortune, the villain can take the opportunity to gain a foothold in Jiankang."
"You are really nothing!!!" The landlord was so angry that his fists clenched.
Logically speaking, Yingshu should go to Chitongli where Mrs. Du lived, but there was not enough time today, so Yingshu just returned to Zhao Er's courtyard and asked the fellow courtyard members for verification. Everyone said that they had never seen Du. Fei's explanation for Madam Du's true appearance is that Madam Du's eye disease has not healed and she cannot see the sun directly unless she is inside the house. However, everyone said that they recognized Madam Du, firstly because she was about the same height as Fei, and in addition, in addition to Apart from her, no one has ever seen a civilian woman with a curtain.
The elderly woman in Zhao's Erjuyuan remembered another detail and caught up with Ying Shu before she got into the car.
"That day, my niece gave birth to a baby and brought over a basket of red chicken eggs. I gave it to Zhao's second daughter-in-law. We lived in the same courtyard, and we didn't have that much care in the past. I saw that she was not in the main room, so I opened the side room. When I entered the door, she and Madam Du were talking and laughing, picking up shoe soles together. Madam Du had her back to me. When she heard the noise, she hurriedly brought up the curtain again. I saw that Madam Du’s needlework skills were very solid. , much better than Zhao's second daughter-in-law. I thought it was a little weird at the time. Didn't she have an eye disease? If it was so serious that she couldn't even see the sun, how could she still be so good at needlework? But then I thought about it, when I was young, I I just know a female weaver who was born blind, but her weaving skills have not improved at all, and she is even better than many people who are not blind."
On the way back to the palace, the carriage passed Chitongli. Yingshu looked at the plaque in Chitongli and shook her head: "The two lifang are not close to each other. How did the women of the Fei family and the Du family get acquainted?"
Nanci's brows were also frowning, and he was thinking about another question.
"Why did the murderer cut out Zhao Fei's eyes and tongue and dump her body in Zhinu Pond?"
This gorgeous chariot drove into the palace city, and the first drumbeat of the curfew was sounded. Before Yingshu rushed back to Qianyuan Hall, Nanci had time to tell Yingshu the report sent by the "secret guard" Shu: "Jiang Donghe's people are just following us. As you expected, there is a group of people secretly keeping an eye on our whereabouts."
Yingshu waved her hand, took Nanci's palm, and lightly drew a word on his palm with her right index finger.
The strokes of that character were not simple, but Nanci wanted it to be more complicated. He almost couldn't help it. The moment the fingertips left, he chased after him and held the "troublesome" hand without realizing it.
But when he saw Ying Shu's bright eyes, he resisted his impulse with a smile and nodded.
There was another drum sound, and Nanci watched Yingshu turn around and walk deeper into the palace. Today, she was not wearing the clothes of a female official, so she looked more like a girl who had not yet given birth. Her steps were brisk, and she could not see the calmness of strategizing. Calmly, Nanci felt that the area close to his chest and ribs was faintly hot.
That was the private seal she gave him.
This private seal can be used to dispatch her maids in the boudoir to act according to his orders, so he wears a red silk hanging around his neck and carries it close to his body. He knows better than anyone else that Dan, Qing, Xuan and Bai are the four secret seals. He is the person she trusts. Now that Danyu has entered the Guisu Mansion, he is extremely stubborn and lets Danyu take charge of all the internal affairs of the house. He hopes that one day, Danying will feel that she should be the one to take charge of the internal affairs - because, Yingshu is the mistress of Guisu Mansion.
Nanci was in a happy mood.
After returning home, a young eunuch saw the smile on his face and hurried over to please him: "Where did your Highness go to a good place today?"
"Yizhuang." Nanci is very happy to share his joy with those around him.
The young eunuch suspected that his ears were leaking.
In other words, it is not Yizhuang as he understands it, but a new amusement park built in Jiankang City. Is it Yizhuang, Yizhuang, or Yizhuang?
Nanci added a few words: "Did you know that a murder occurred outside the palace? The body of the deceased is now in Yizhuang. I went there today and found out that the deceased was drowned, not killed with a dagger, and if nothing unexpected happened, , this case will be solved soon."
The little eunuch was dumbfounded, he really was a righteous man! ! !
"Is Your Highness trying to fight for the order of Jiankang?" The young eunuch could only explain his master's unusual pleasure today in this direction.
"Oh, what's there to fight about in the Jiankang Order?"
Little eunuch:? ? ?
The little eunuch who was extremely confused couldn't help it anymore, so he found a guard to ask. The guard laughed and said, "You don't understand. Your Highness is not going anywhere. What matters is who you go with. Today, Your Highness is going with the Queen's Empress." of."
"Why did Queen Princess go to Yizhuang?"
"She must be...going for the autopsy. Your Highness won't let us go to Yizhuang, but I guess the concubine Wang must be going for the autopsy. If not for the autopsy, why did she stay in Yi Zhuang for so long?"
A picture appeared in the young eunuch's mind. The Queen Queen wielded a knife and cut a female corpse into eight pieces. His Royal Highness looked at him lovingly, pinching a silk handkerchief, and wiping the blood and sweat of the Queen Queen from time to time...
The young eunuch covered his face and wanted to take off his head and throw it to the ground. He did not want to admit that His Highness and the future princess were such a strange pair.
The murder case was not revealed, and Yingshu did not intend to report it to His Majesty the Emperor in a hurry. However, on that day, Mrs. He immediately came to the Qianyuan Hall. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor was reading a book, and Sikong Beichen was reviewing books. Yingshu was busy outside for most of the day. After coming back, she still had to be busy with her own work. She didn't show any fatigue at all, and was full of energy. Especially when she heard Mrs. He asked for an audience, her eyes were bright and clear.
Sikong Tong glanced sideways at Ying Shu, put down the book in his hand, and directly told Mr. Chang to ask Mrs. He to come to the study room.
Sikong Beichen also temporarily put aside his writing.
He actually didn't know why Yingshu didn't see anyone during the day, and didn't "wander" to the imperial study until evening. He didn't dare to ask in front of the emperor's father, but he expected that Mrs. He came here because Yingshu "wandered" during the day. "Disappear", I was fully prepared to watch and listen attentively.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. He didn't get angry at Yingshu first. She "capture the thief first, capture the king" and actually directly questioned the king of a country.
"Your Majesty, Wang's daughter is just a female official. How can your Majesty give her the privilege to interfere in the government affairs of Jiankang Mansion?! Your Majesty did this, ignoring the etiquette and law. Could it be that your Majesty thought that my father had already revised the book to my uncle, and he ordered his uncle to pacify Shu? Does Your Majesty have the confidence to cross the river and burn the bridge?!"
