big case

By the way, I don't have much time, and I don't intend to stay longer, so I put down three pennies and left in a hurry after leaving a word.

Now, everything points to the place where I came from before, the Palace of the Regent.And now, it's almost noon the next day, and I still have a day and a half left.

I hurried to the Prince Regent's Mansion. The stone lion was still so unfriendly, but most of the guards here had seen me being left behind. I said I had something to see, but the man looked at me for a long time and really gave me a pass. passed on.

I waited for a long time, and an old man came out and said that the regent was eating, so he was late, and then took me to a room, said to wait for a while, and then withdrew.

I was a little bored, looking at this place, it seems that this should be the office of the Prince Regent, everything is in order, and there is an invisible coercion.The regent was born in a family of generals, so it seems true.

There is a painting on the wall, weeping willows on the shore, and a lake filled with autumn water, with a boat in the middle and a woman standing holding a qin, which looks very special.

This painting is quite strange. The things in this room feel like they are all hard. Why did such a painting suddenly appear? It looks a little easy-going.I was about to take a closer look, but the Prince Regent suddenly came in from the outside and looked at me staring straight at the painting, his face seemed a bit unsightly.

"Brother Hu suddenly asked for an interview, but the murderer has already been found?" The imposing manner of this question made people breathless.

I bowed my head to plead guilty, and replied respectfully, "Go back to the lord, the murderer has not been found yet. It's just because I encountered some things, so I dared to ask the lord."

The regent gave me a cold look, "Say."

"Dare to ask the prince, the grass people want to know, how did the princess pass away?" Just as I dared to ask this sentence, I felt that the regent's eyes were terrified, clearly with murderous intent, which made me hit him hard a shiver.

Chapter 4

I, Hu San, am thirty one this year, and I am quite old. People, the longer they live, the better they become. Knowing what to ask and what not to ask, the more you know, the closer you will be to Lord Hades.It stands to reason that I should not be the one who should find out the secrets of this kind of big family. I, Hu San, am also a life-saving person, and I definitely have no intention of courting death for no reason. Put the knife on my neck, forcing me to take the risk of losing my head to find a way out for myself.

The regent still looked at me coldly, I didn't look up, but I could feel a rather heavy breath stagnant in this room.

After a long time, the regent finally spoke slowly, his voice could not be said to be threatening or sarcastic, "Hu San, I asked you to investigate the cause of the prime minister's death, how did you manage to find out about your wife? Could it be that I underestimated you, Hu San, These three days are actually long enough for you to do these irrelevant things?"

I, Hu San, are just a small person, and I am a small person who can be crushed to death by the Lord Regent. Although I am cursing the Regent in my heart at this time, I am clearly in a state of desperation, but I am still making sarcastic remarks here, but my face I still had to smile, looked at the other party flatteringly and said, "What did the lord say? I, Hu San, have no skills, and I don't have any clues until now. Seeing that more than half of this time has passed like this, my heart I am also anxious, that's why I dared to take the courage to ask the prince. This prime minister is the younger brother of the princess, and now the prime minister has gone so unclearly. The princess has a kind heart and must not bear it. Is it because I can't see people like the Prime Minister leaving like this, so I Hu San went to find out about this matter? Cao Min thought, since the prince has such thoughts, that's why he strengthened his courage .”

The regent didn't speak, his mouth was pursed, and it became a thin line. The regent's appearance was handsome, and he looked resolute and upright, but he also had the unique sharpness of a soldier.He's right there, not talking, not moving, just looking at you lightly, you will feel a little sore in your calves, making people feel an invisible pressure, wanting to kneel down for him.

Just as I felt that the atmosphere was really uncomfortable, someone suddenly walked in quietly. It was a kind-hearted old man. He looked a little old, but he was dressed neatly and politely. He possessed himself and said something in the ear of the regent, the regent Wang frowned slightly, and then the old man stood aside like this, as if no one could feel his presence at all.

The regent rubbed his brows, looked a bit bored, stood up, and said, "This Ninth Prince, why don't I know what kind of body I am?"

My heart moved slightly, the Ninth Prince, isn't he the new master that the Regent hopes to establish?This Ninth Prince has not received much attention since he was a child, and he always looks sick. It is said that the moon was full in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor watched the moon with everyone. As a result, those official ladies are fine. That autumn equinox had a serious illness and almost died half of his life.

Some people wondered, who is not good for the regent to support, why did he support such a sick child, and he did not seem to be a long-lived master, and some people said, what do you know?That's just a puppet of the regent king, it's just a sick person who has no power to resist!

I stood with my eyebrows down, the Prince Regent seemed to be planning to leave, and it seemed that the sick Ninth Prince had done something again, which made me unable to breathe out the rest of my breath.

Seeing that the regent is about to leave, but I haven't found any results yet. It's already the second day. If I don't get the results by tomorrow's sunset, I will accompany the Prime Minister to sleep in the ground forever.

The regent looked at my hesitant expression, and his face was quite cold, "Housekeeper Lou, I asked him to investigate this case, so you can tell the truth if he wants to ask you anything."

The old man nodded, agreed yes, and then turned around, the regent had already left like the wind on his feet.

Housekeeper Lou stood next to me, bent slightly, looking like a docile and convincing old man.

"If your lord wants to ask anything, this old slave will know everything."

Damn, a big family is a big family. Seeing that their housekeepers are different from those of other families, that is a quality. I was embarrassed by the other party's attitude, waved my hand, and said with a smile, "Who am I?" What kind of a grown-up, I, Hu San, am a rough person."

The other party's expression was very docile, and he didn't refute, nor did he follow my words, but just waited for me to ask questions.

"Housekeeper Lou, logically speaking, I shouldn't ask, but I, Hu San, don't care about etiquette now. I want to ask, how did your princess pass away?"

The old man still didn't change much, and replied respectfully, "The princess was born in a miscarriage. Everyone in the palace knows about this. The princess has always been in poor health. She wanted to visit her family that day, but she was exhausted on the road. Unfortunately, I brought my unborn little master with me."

The old man's voice was faint, and people could not hear the joy or anger, and there was no emotion. It just contained the kind of sadness and regret that should be noticed by people.

"Did anything special happen that day?"

"It's about the Su Mansion. We don't know it very well. It's just that someone came to spread a message saying that the princess is afraid that she will die. The prince rode over on the horse, and then heard the news that the princess and the unborn little master It's all gone."

I felt something was wrong in my heart, but I couldn't explain why. I suddenly thought of what the emperor said with a trembling tone last night. I stared at the old man and asked, "The day the princess met the Su mansion, the Su manor was still here." someone?"

"I don't really know about this, but the prince was very sad. He was drunk at home for more than a month, did nothing, and then asked for orders to guard the frontier."

I looked at this old man. People from a big family are all good people. What the old man said was quite detailed, but if you listen carefully, you will find that almost everything he said can be heard by most people. The sound of air leakage.

I glanced at the other person, still looking kindly and kindly. I suddenly saw the painting on the wall, and asked unconsciously, "Who made this painting? It seems to have a certain character."

"This is what the prince did." The old man still replied respectfully.

This was a bit beyond my expectation. How could such a cold-faced and indifferent person as the regent make such a painting full of affection? I suddenly seemed to think of something and asked, "The woman in the painting ..."

"Of course it is the princess. When the prince went to play by the lake, he heard the sound of a zither, so he played the flute in response. The prince thought that the person playing the piano must be his bosom friend, so he met the princess at a place where an official ship was moored." The old man said, as if recalling something from the past, but it brought a bit of real sadness.

I looked at the painting, as if something flashed through my mind, but I didn't catch it.I know that the building steward is a genius, and it is hopeless to get something useful out of him.

People in the Wangfu should speak strictly and avoid getting into trouble. This old man didn't seem to intend to break his principles because of me, so I had to tell him that I wanted to walk by myself. Guaranteed, the old man didn't have much of an opinion, he just said he would help me
