ancient criminal minds

The next morning, when the carriage of King Chu's Mansion stopped in front of the British Mansion again, everyone in the British Mansion accepted it very calmly, and even some servants obeyed the order of Mrs. Lu to invite King Chu in for breakfast. .

When Rong Zhen stepped into the dining room, he startled Lu Zheng who was still rubbing his sleepy eyes. He looked at Rong Zhen in a daze, and then stepped out to look at Zhengtang's name before he said to himself: "Yes. My home!"

Lu Che couldn't bear to see his stupid younger brother embarrassing himself any longer, so he directly carried him to the dining table, saying concisely, "Eat!"

Today, everyone got together to have a meal because today is Lu Che's birthday, but he is not a whole student and a junior, so there is no big deal, just have a meal together.

Rong Zhen has a cold temper, even if he went to the banquet, because of his high status, it was difficult to enjoy the feeling of everyone sitting together, and there was Lu Zheng gagging at the banquet, which made the meal take longer than he imagined a little.

After eating, Rong Zhen took Lu Zheng into the carriage, Lu Zheng was very depressed: "Uncle Nineteen, I'm not a child, don't I know how to get to the Princess Mansion?"

Rong Zhen patted his head: "Understood."

What does you know mean?Lu Zheng was very depressed, but seeing that Rong Zhen had closed his eyes and rested his mind, he didn't dare to ask again, he could only be sullen all by himself.

It was already late when we arrived at the Princess Mansion, Rong Zhen ordered the coachman to go to the side door, Ge Hui had been waiting there for a long time, but the object was the King of Chu, he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out, and there were other people waiting with him Jian Yu.Seeing the two of them coming together, Jian Yu was not as surprised as Ge Hui, but just glanced at Lu Zheng's clothes, and then put his cloak on him: "It's cold today, you should wear more."

Rongzhen's car was burning with a charcoal basin, Lu Zheng didn't feel cold at first, but when he got out of the car, the cold wind blew, and he suddenly felt his neck was chilly, Jian Yu's cloak still carried his body temperature, Lu Zheng was smoked by the heat, She blushed unconsciously.

Rong Zhen said indifferently: "Children have strong firepower, and you don't think it's cumbersome to run up and down in a while?"

As soon as Lu Zheng heard this, he reflexively wanted to refute with Rong Zhen, but he forgot to grab the cloak, causing the precious fur to fall to the ground, covered with dust.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lu Zheng quickly picked up the cloak, "I'll go back and let the servant girl wash it for you."

Jian Yu shook his head: "No need." He took the cloak and walked in first, "Investigation is important."

Lu Zheng froze for a moment, Rong Zhen patted his head again when he walked past him, "What are you still standing here for, wait for me to give you a red envelope?"

"I told you I'm not a kid anymore!"

Ge Hui, who was lonely and forgotten at the end, inexplicably felt the malice from the gay guy.

The small building near the water where Mianchun lives is indeed very remote, it has already reached the place near the courtyard wall of the Princess Mansion, but the place is quite big, and there is a small lake.The room didn't have the kitsch they imagined, but it looked like a lady's boudoir, exquisite and simple, with a few unfinished embroidery placed on the small table by the window, as if the owner had just left.

It's not that Ge Hui has no feelings for Mianchun, otherwise she has been away for more than half a year, how could she still keep the room as she did before her death?It's just that these so-called deep feelings are nothing more than that.

Lu Zheng walked around the room slowly, and already had a general understanding of Mianchun's character in his heart.

Ge Hui said: "After Mianchun died, I sealed the Linshui Xiaozhu, and the inside is exactly the same as when the crime happened."

Jian Yu happened to see a portrait of a woman, and he pointed: "This is?"

When Ge Hui saw the painting, his complexion became darker again: "This is the portrait I drew for Mianchun."

Lu Zheng glanced at Ge Hui in surprise. Even someone like him who doesn't have the slightest bit of artistic talent can see the extraordinaryness of this painting. Although the woman in the painting is just a few strokes, the woman's front The convex and back curls are fully displayed, and she is indeed a rare beauty.

But Rong Zhen was not surprised: "Consort Ge is excellent in both calligraphy and painting, you have such skills, and you are worthy of the reputation of your Ge family."

Ge Hui smiled and said nothing.

Several people followed him to the room where the crime happened. It was next to Mianchun's room. There was a big bath in it, but now there was no water. Mianchun was found next to the bath. It is said that when he died, he was only In pajamas.

The body has been buried, Lu Zheng and the others can only see the rope that tied Mianchun at that time, Lu Zheng picked it up and looked carefully, it is actually just a belt, the knot is also very loose, if you try hard to break free, you should be able to break free dropped.

However, Jian Yu took the knife from Ge Hui's hand and looked at it carefully. This knife is an ordinary fruit knife, nothing special.

Lu Zheng said slowly: "This should be...a homicide case on the spur of the moment."

Jian Yu nodded, and was about to express her opinion, but the door was suddenly opened, and a woman with a glamorous temperament came in surrounded by servants.

"Mother." Ge Hui's address gave them the answer, and the person who came was the eldest princess of Shanyang.

Princess Shanyang looked about thirty years old, with fashionable makeup and a high bun, and a pair of beautiful eyes swept over them, only when she saw Rong Zhen, she changed a little, But quickly recovered.

After everyone greeted her one by one, she replied to Ge: "You invited your nineteenth uncle to come to the door, but you didn't tell your mother. Doesn't this make people laugh at the tutor in the Princess Mansion?" That's what it said , but everyone knows that this clearly refers to Sang scolding Huai.

Rong Zhen's face was cold, as if he didn't hear Shanyang's ridicule, he just said: "We are only here for this case, this king thought that Shanyang sister was too busy in the first month, and couldn't bear to disturb Shanyang sister's rest, so I asked you to come here Seeing us, this king has not thought carefully about it."

Shanyang raised a smile: "The nineteenth brother is so polite, but he looks down on me as an older sister?"

"how could be?"

"Our Princess Mansion is simple and simple, but we can't entertain distinguished guests in this kind of place." Shan Yang made a way out, "I have already invited the son-in-law over, and I also ask the nineteenth brother to give my sister this face."

Rong Zhen nodded: "Naturally."

After they left, Shan Yang's face darkened, and he replied to Ge: "How did I tell you! When a person dies, he dies. If you don't have any kind of beauty you want, why bother to cause such trouble!"

Ge Hui was indignant: "You clearly know that this case is not simple, there are such cruel people in this mansion..."

"Slap!" Shan Yang slapped Ge Hui on the face, "If you say such nonsense again, get lost and kneel in the ancestral hall!"

Ge Hui looked at Shanyang with hatred: "Mother protects that woman like this?"

Shanyang almost laughed angrily: "Who do you think I am for?" She pointed to the door, "Go back to the room and reflect on me, don't come out if you think clearly!"

Ge slammed the door and left without looking back.

Shan Yang pressed his chest, panted for a while before recovering, glanced at the worried mother beside him, and said coldly: "I only sold the maids of Linshui Xiaozhu before, I don't think it's safe enough, Just in case, I am afraid that Mammy will find someone to give them to..."

"The old slave knows." The nanny hurriedly supported Shanyang, "The princess still needs to take care of her body."

"I can still hold on!" Shanyang pushed her away and straightened his back, "Go to the living room, my good brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

After a while, Princess Shanyang changed her clothes and appeared in the living room.

Concubine Ge doesn't like official career, and his family is not very famous. Although he has some talent and fame, he can't stand his love of extravagance.Fortunately, Princess Shanyang is favored and is very good at managing things, so the Ge family has always supported her, and so is Ge Concubine. When Princess Shanyang asked him to entertain the King of Chu, even if the hangover is not over, he hurriedly Getting up from the bed, he appeared in the living room almost disheveled.

Fortunately, Concubine Ge has real talent, and after some chatting, everyone gradually accepted the setting that his talents are all unrestrained. As for being too rude.

Shanyang apologized repeatedly when she came. She is a pretty person, if not, she would not be favored by the Queen Mother, even after she got married, she would often enter the palace. It is said that her temper was domineering back then, but She only kept a low profile after the death of the Empress Dowager. If she hadn't been cleaning up the mess for Ge Hui all these years, I'm afraid everyone would have forgotten the great achievements of this princess.

After a cup of tea, Rong Zhen said: "This is originally Shanyang's sister's family affairs, but my nephew insisted that the case was strange, so I became curious. I hope Shanyang's sister will forgive me."

Shan Yang smiled slightly: "They're all ignorant children, and he didn't tell you about it. The concubine's room was originally a brothel, with a seductive and indiscreet temperament. At the beginning, it caused some evil debts, which attracted the attention of others." In order to save Hui'er's face, I didn't tell the truth about Hui'er's murder, but let him remember it all the time, and it's my fault after all."

"You are also a loving mother, it's because Hui'er is too inconsiderate." Ge Consort said hastily.

Shan Yang then said to Rong Zhen: "This big Chinese New Year event caused my nineteenth brother to also get into bad luck. Sister, please accompany me. After all, it is a scandal in the family. I don't intend to publicize it. Please forgive me." some."

Rong Zhen nodded: "Sister Shanyang is being polite, as it should be."

"That's really great." Shanyang showed a little smile, "It's rare for my house to be so lively. If the nineteenth brother is not too busy, I would like to invite you to visit my house more often."

This was an order to evict guests, but Rong Zhen's expression did not show any displeasure, and the few people were very polite, so Rong Zhen took them to leave.
