know.

These two words are intriguing.

Women are raised in deep boudoirs, and are rarely known by outsiders.The king of Nankang knows Su Qian'er of Su Shangshu, but it is easy to explain. It may be that the king of Nankang met her face to face when the nobles were socializing.But if the other deceased, Yuan Shi, was just an ordinary citizen, it would be very strange that the king of Nankang knew her, especially this woman had been molested by Pang Yuanying.

"Explain." Pang Yuanying stared at Zhao Weineng and said in a bad tone.

Zhao Weineng turned away, deliberately avoiding Pang Yuanying's gaze, and replied in a low voice, "I arranged it."

"Speak louder." Pang Yuanying yelled at him.

"I said that I arranged for her to do what you fell into the water at the beginning! She is not a girl from a good family, but a singer in my family." Zhao Wei said everything in one breath with his eyes closed.

Then Zhao Weineng slowly opened his eyes, and he secretly looked at Pang Yuanying a little scared.Without the expected anger that followed, Pang Yuanying just looked at him quietly and indifferently, his eyes were like stagnant water.It is very likely that Pang Yuanying regarded him as a dead object, which is why his gaze was so calm.

This unusual tranquility made Zhao Weineng feel very uncertain.

On the contrary, Bai Yutang, who had always been indifferent, looked at him in surprise at this moment, as if this matter, which had nothing to do with him, was beyond his expectation.

How did the attitude of these two people reverse?Zhao Weineng was puzzled.

The reason why Pang Yuanying was not surprised was because Qingfeng had told him earlier that there was something strange about molesting a good family.At that time, Qingfeng felt that the 'good family' took the initiative to stick to him.Just now after Zhao Weineng admitted that he knew the "good family" girl Yuan, Pang Yuanying expected that this matter was Zhao Weineng's design.Because Zhao Wei had said long ago that he was looking forward to his ruin.

"I was impulsive at the time, and I was playing with you. I didn't expect it to be so serious later. It made you fall into the water and became seriously ill, which made you almost survive. But it's not my people who beat you into the water. I swear on my life, It's really not me!" Zhao Wei Neng hastily explained.

Pang Yuanying still looked at him coldly: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Weineng: "When you fell into the water, someone beat you on purpose. They bounced a small object behind your knees and forced you to fall into the water. Mrs. Yuan saw it with her own eyes, and said it was a young man who did it."

Pang Yuanying was also aware of this matter, he purposely asked this to hear if Zhao Weineng knew any other information.

"What kind of man?"

"From the way she spoke, I knew she liked the appearance of a 'hero saving the beauty'. I didn't ask carefully, but this man should be good-looking, and his clothes should not be too poor, otherwise he wouldn't catch that girl's eyes. Anyway, it’s someone I know, if I know friends, she should have met too.”

Zhao Weineng often invites friends to drink together, and singers and dancers are always by his side.Yuan's singing is good, and Zhao Weineng likes it very much. Of course, he is only limited to his appreciation of singing, and his heart has always been only on Pang Yuanying.

Every time Zhao Wei can have a banquet to socialize, Yuan will show his singing voice and share the fun with his friends.

Pang Yuanying asked Zhao Weineng to explain again why he brought the Yuan family here to guard the mausoleum.

"The first emperor was very lonely sleeping down here, so he must have not heard the singing of the world for a long time. It would be nice to let Yuan Shi sing a song during the wake. It would be good to accompany him." Zhao Wei Neng made up a better explanation, but in fact he was afraid of being bored. Be quiet, find someone to sing to him if he has nothing to do.

Pang Yuanying was too lazy to expose him, and then asked him why Su Shangshu's daughter was in Bazhou.

"I really don't know about this. I never spoke a word to Su Qian'er, the third daughter of Su Shangshu, but I just recognize her. It was when I met with other noble children at Su Shangshu's birthday banquet. She was with a lot of noble girls. We sat across the table and exchanged poems with each other, but I really never said a word to her. She is a talented daughter, and her poems are good. But my impression of him Just stop there."

Zhao Weineng emphasized twice that he was really not familiar with Su Qian'er.

Pang Yuanying: "Does the Yuan family and Su Qian'er know each other?"

Zhao Weineng shook his head, and turned to look at his follower, Cheng Le.Cheng Le quickly stated that the two of them knew each other.

Cheng Le: "My lord may not remember much. A year ago, the Su family invited Miss Yuan to stay in the Su Mansion for two days. The Miss Su family wants to learn songs, but she thinks that Miss Yuan sings well."

"The honorable daughter of the Shangshu Mansion learns from the singer?" Bai Yutang questioned.

"I'm not sure about that. I'm not curious about the hobby of Miss Su's family. I seem to remember that there is such a thing. At that time, Su Shangshu asked someone to come and tell me about it." Zhao Weineng asked Cheng Le.Cheng Le hurriedly nodded and agreed that it was true.

After discussing with Bai Yutang, Pang Yuanying mainly started the investigation from the Su family.Peng Ying then asked Zhou Ziyu to tell about their current investigation of the Su family.

"No progress has been made. The Su family is somewhat resistant to discussing this matter in detail. From the beginning to the end, they only gave one response: their lady fell asleep as usual that night. When the maids came to serve in the morning, they found that the two personal maids in the room were fainted. Su The back window of the young lady's room was open, and there were messy footprints. The Su family suspected that someone had taken her away. They guessed that the county prince took a fancy to his young lady and became lustful, so he kidnapped her. The Su family was very angry and said that they had sent a letter to inform her Su Shangshu has joined the king of this county. The Su family has been closed these days and refuses any foreign visits."

Zhou Ziyu told Pang Yuanying that Su Shangshu was the second child. Although the whole family was in the capital, his hometown was in Bazhou.Su's eldest son's family and Mrs. Su lived in the Su family's old house in Bazhou.Miss Su came back this time to celebrate her grandmother's birthday on behalf of her father.

"The messy footprints outside the window, do you see me?" Pang Yuanying asked.

Zhou Ziyu shook his head, "Not only the messy footprints, but also the unconscious maid, we haven't seen them. The Su family won't let them see, after all, it's a woman's boudoir, and they have to take care of their daughter's family's innocence."

"People are dying here, just looking at a room, what's the point of innocence. Nonsense!"

Pang Yuanying asked Zhao Weineng to lead the way first, and went to the forest ahead to see where they had barbecued that night.

Half of the firewood was burned at the scene, black ash remained on the ground, and there were several discarded bones around it. The surrounding vegetation and branches all showed signs of being pruned. Judging by the capacity of this scene, it is almost the same as the number of Zhao Weineng's followers. .Judging from the situation at the scene, Zhao Weineng should not have lied.

"At that time, I brought all my subordinates here. Mrs. Yuan and a few maids were still at the mausoleum. When the incident happened, those maids were sleeping in the room, and they didn't wake up until the guards called them in the morning." Zhao Weineng continued to explain.

"Why didn't you stay on guard?"

"This is a barren mountain, a poor country, and there are two villages guarding the mausoleum outside. Who will come? I always like to have fun with everyone, so I didn't leave anyone behind that night, and I called all the men."

Since there is no kitchen in the mausoleum, Pang Yuanying asked Zhao Weineng how to deal with his daily meals.It turned out that it was all in charge of the Bazhou government office, and two meals a day were prepared and delivered.

"Where's the wine? Where do you get it?"

"It was bought from the Changxiang Liquor Shop in Bazhou City by my subordinates." Cheng Le, Zhao Weineng's entourage, reported back.

"And the roast venison?"

Cheng Xi stood up with two followers, "It was two of my subordinates who rushed to hunt in the nearby woods the night before. They shot two deer, one wild boar and a dozen rabbits."

"You two are amazing." Pang Yuanying sighed.

"The two of them are dedicated to game for the palace." Zhao Weineng explained.

Pang Yuanying asked Chengle and Shuangchengxi how many years they had worked in the county palace.After learning that all three of them were domestic slaves of the county palace, Pang Yuanying sighed.It seems that it is not easy to check, you have to check the background one by one.

Pang Yuanying immediately took people to Su's mansion to check Su Qian'er's boudoir.The Su family naturally refused to let it go, but when they learned that Pang Yuanying was the son of Pang Taishi and saw the gold medal bestowed by the imperial court, no one dared to make mistakes and let Pang Yuanying lead someone to investigate.

It has been ten days since the incident, and the backyard of Su Qian'er's residence has been cleaned several times, and no messy footprints can be seen.Pang Yuanying planned to ask the two maids who shared the room with Su Qian'er that night.As a result, the housekeeper of the Su family told Pang Yuanying that after the two maids received the family law, one had a serious fever and died two days ago.The other was dying, but in a coma, he couldn't speak much.

Pang Yuanying insisted on seeing him, so the guard led him to the horse pen, where the hay was placed by the side of the horse manure pile, and saw a thin woman lying curled up on the straw mat.His body was already in a mess, with a lot of dirt stuck to him, his lips were pale and his eyes were closed, if it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest, he would have looked like a dead person.

Bai Yutang glared at the butler of the Su family.

"My lords, it's really not that our Su family deliberately made things difficult for the servants. But how can their low lives be compared with the noble third lady? Because of their fault, the third lady died tragically, and this fate is their own fault. Even the young lady If the photo is not good, it deserves it!" The housekeeper explained.

Pang Yuanying ordered his subordinates to carry the girl back to the government office for treatment.

Su Mao, the eldest son of Su, hurried back from outside.After hearing what Pang Yuanying said, she immediately stopped her unwillingly, saying that this maid is from the Su family, and she should die in the Su family.

"This servant girl is an important witness in the case. Our Su family is also regarded as an official, so we should set an example and cooperate with the government to handle the case. Even if you don't want to, according to the rules, you should also cooperate. Understand?" Pang Yuanying raised her eyebrows, with an unhappy attitude Ask Su Mao back.

Su Mao pretended not to understand and shook his head, expressing that he did not understand the meaning of Pang Yuanying's words.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Later, I will write a notice and post it in Bazhou and Tokyo City. You may understand. The Su family claimed that after Miss Su was taken into custody innocently, they destroyed the scene of the crime and deliberately murdered witnesses. They did not cooperate with the government's investigation at all. , to try to prove the innocence of my young lady through the above actions. The way of doing so is so clever that it makes people applaud."

"This... this... Pang Shaoyin, how could you frame our Su family like this? We didn't destroy the scene of the crime, and we didn't deliberately murder witnesses. We cooperated..." Su Mao finally lacked confidence and was speechless. They had no choice but to agree with Pang Yuanying to take the maid away.

After the maid was transported back to the government office in Bazhou, she was carefully diagnosed and treated and prescribed medicine.

"He has a severe fever and is still in a severe coma, so he may not be able to wake up." Zhou Ziyu replied.

After Bai Yutang finished listening, he responded to the side: "The Su family is very suspicious."

"It's not just the Su family who are suspicious. The followers of Nankang County Wang Xiang and the governor of Bazhou are all suspicious. Under their cover, the two deceased seem to have died in the mausoleum inexplicably. In front of the door."
