The noble boy likes to play chess

The next day, Cheng Jingyi opened his eyes and ran to Shu Jing to soak mushrooms. He had a lot of questions to ask, but Ling Zimo kept watch over Jing Er, and An Hao and Luo Nan delivered medicine and porridge attentively. , he couldn't ask, and the more people there were, the less likely it was that Jing'er would tell him the truth.

Shu Jing persuaded Cheng Jingzhi to go back immediately after rest, so as not to lose his tongue. Last time, he had an excuse. This time, it will not be so easy to pass.

Cheng Jingzhi said it's fine. His Highness the Sixth Highness heard that you were sick, and he asked me to cure you before going back. This time, I came here by order, so I can stay for a few more days. Anyway, I will stay here.The medicine Cheng Jingzhi prescribed was very effective. After taking one dose, the fever subsided and his spirit improved a lot. However, he sneezed and coughed again, which made him uncomfortable.

At noon, the imperial doctor Cheng Xianzhi arrived, and he called it a follow-up consultation. An Hao thought that there was already a good doctor in his family, so he wanted to refuse, but he begged him to come, so he couldn't say anything rude. He invited people in.

Cheng Xianzhi didn't care about the life and death of an ordinary person. His biggest purpose was to prove whether his third brother really forgot his duty and returned to Shengjing without authorization.When he saw Shu Jing and Cheng Jingzhi frolicking in the room, he couldn't believe it. Last night, he asked Dr. Zuo to prove that he didn't have a wrong pulse. Then, judging by the pulse, he couldn't move freely. Why? ?The other unbelievable thing is that he didn't expect that his third brother was so ignorant of the world, that he didn't know how much trouble he would cause by doing so.He called out with a bit of seriousness: "Cheng Jingzhi!"

Cheng Jingzhi looked up and found his elder brother standing at the door, he asked curiously: "Brother is here, isn't he on duty today?"

Cheng Xianzhi became even more annoyed: "You still know you are on duty? You left your post without authorization, what should you do?"

It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and Cheng Jingzhi hurriedly explained: "Brother, His Highness the Sixth Highness knew that I was coming back, and what he agreed to was not AWOL."

"To explain, go back and tell Dad, hurry home with me!"

An Hao asked awkwardly: "Doctor Cheng, didn't you come for a follow-up visit?"

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Shu Jing looked at the two brothers and said, "Jingzhi, you should go home now. It was too late to let you stay here yesterday. You should go home today."

"Jing'er, how can you be so cruel, you just drove me away after a while, I don't want it!" Cheng Jingzhi pretended to wipe away his tears, and said aggrievedly, in fact, Shu Jing's situation was complicated, and he was afraid of any adverse reactions to the medicine. , dare not leave.

Cheng Xianzhi was surprised again, when did the third brother behave like this?I remember how he lost his mother since he was a child, and the oldest of the three brothers, how the more he lived, the more he returned. At the same time, he felt ashamed of Jingzhi's behavior!He urged Cheng Jingzhi to go back with him.

Shu Jing repeatedly promised that if he felt uncomfortable, he would go to Cheng's house to look for him, and he reluctantly left.

Not long after Cheng Jingzhi left, Luo Nan came back. Luo Nan remembered that Shu Jing said that he didn't hear anything outside the window, so he volunteered to take on the task of going out to buy, and came back to tell everyone what he heard every day. Today, he heard It is said that a male prostitute from Chunfenglou killed a maidservant of the Fourth Prince's concubine. The evidence is convincing, but the case involved the royal family. The male prostitute also said that he was instigated by the Fourth Prince and went to Dali Temple. I heard that even the Fourth Prince wanted to kill her. On trial.

This matter had nothing to do with them, but Shu Jing immediately thought of what happened that night, and the other party kept saying that he was asked to do one thing, and if it was completed, he would be able to enter the fourth prince's mansion and enjoy the glory and wealth of his life. If he didn't follow, he didn't say exactly what he was doing. That night, Shu Jing guessed the fourth prince himself, but he didn't see it with his own eyes. My servant, even if there is no reason, others dare not say a word, why bother so much?What's more, the death of a maid, no matter what, will not make trouble in Dali Temple, unless someone deliberately makes things big.

Thinking of this, Shu Jing couldn't sit still. He wanted to go to Dali Temple to see what happened. If it was really the fourth prince's fault, then that's all. Let the culprit go free.

When they arrived at Dali Temple, the interrogation was already halfway through. Hearing that the two sides were deadlocked, he wanted to go in to see what happened, but... Dali Temple is not a place where everyone can enter. Now he is just a commoner. At the Dali Temple hearing, you must first suffer [-] boards.

Ling Zimo didn't let him ask for trouble, but he couldn't stand Shu Jing's stubbornness, so he agreed. Unexpectedly, he also voluntarily took twenty boards, just to be with him. Shu Jing was moved. , Ling Zimo's devotion to him, he can see, if you don't know his affection, you will be really stupid.

Fortunately, in the lobby, both sides insisted on their own opinions. The presiding judge was looking forward to someone who could break the deadlock, so he didn't hit them hard. It was just as usual, and soon they were brought to the lobby.

The presiding judge was Prince Rong, the emperor's little uncle. In the lobby, besides the fourth prince and the male prostitute Xiaoling, there was also the third prince, a couple and several gorgeously dressed women.

When Prince Rong saw them coming up, he asked: "Who are you? Said that you are related to this case, are you related?"

"My lord, Caomin is the chess player Shu Jing from Huanyue Tower, and the other is Caomin's friend Ling Zimo. Caomin was kidnapped to the suburbs the night before yesterday. Caomin suspects that the person who kidnapped Caomin is the fourth prince." Shu Jing Tell the truth.

"If you say you doubt, you doubt it. Can my Highness doubt it casually?!" His Highness the Fourth Highness scolded angrily.

The voice was wrong, it wasn't the person from that night, just to be on the safe side, he said boldly: "Caomin just didn't believe that His Highness would kidnap Caomin, that's why he came here, can Caomin take a look at His Highness's hands?"

His Highness the Fourth Highness reprimanded him for being boring, but Prince Rong said that it's okay to take a look at his hands, so His Highness the Fourth Highness had no choice but to stretch out his hands for Shu Jing to take a look at.

"Before, Caomin suspected that it was His Highness the Fourth Highness, but now it is discovered that Caomin had misunderstood, please forgive me." After reading, Shu Jing said.His Highness the Fourth Highness wears nails, the man did not have them the night before, and there is a scar on the tiger's mouth, the man's tiger's mouth was smooth the night before, obviously it is not the same person.

At this point, Lord Rong suddenly remembered something, and asked Xiaoling: "Why do you keep saying that the fourth prince ordered you? When and where did he tell you about this?"

"It was last night that Caomin's eyes suddenly went dark, and he didn't know where he was taken. The Fourth Highness said, as long as I kill the woman in the portrait, I will be allowed to enter the mansion and enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of my life. I agreed, but I didn't." After I agreed to kill her, I was knocked out again, and when I woke up, that woman had already died in front of me, and I said I killed her just to enter the fourth prince's residence." Xiaoling anxiously defended.

"You don't know where it is?" Prince Rong asked.

"Yes, my eyes are blindfolded, I don't know where."

"You don't know where you are, but you know that I ordered you?" His Royal Highness asked back.

"It was you who said that you took a fancy to me on the painting boat and wanted me to come into your house, but I am humble, so I insisted on doing something for you!"

The fourth prince slapped him angrily.

The third prince said coolly: "Why is the fourth emperor so excited? Could it be that he betrayed you and made you angry."

"Fourth, if you have something to say, talk about it. Now the concubines in your house are saying that they saw you having a big fight with your concubine that day, and that you had a motive to kill someone. Why don't you talk about it after all?" Let's go." Prince Rong asked His Royal Highness to defend himself.

The couple's eyes were red from crying, they were obviously the parents of Mrs. Nacai, they all knelt down and begged the old prince to give their daughter justice.

His Highness the Fourth Highness was so angry that he could not speak, but the situation was not good for His Highness the Fourth Highness.

Only then did Shu Jing realize that the one who died was not the maidservant, but the side wife of the Fourth Prince, no wonder they all went to Dali Temple.That day, Shizi took Shu Jing and met the Fourth Highness in the other courtyard. Not long after, Dong Tianyou came to the door and said that the Fourth Highness wanted to invite him into the mansion, but he refused, and then that person kidnapped Shu Jing and behaved ambiguously towards him. , then, the first person he suspected was the Fourth Highness. If Shu Jing agreed that night, then he would be the one accused of murder here at this time.However, this involves too much, and I don't know when it started to be used intentionally. However, that person's No. 1 choice should be Shu Jing, but, Shu Jing is different from that male prostitute, Shu Jing knows martial arts, And a little clever, if he didn't cooperate, ran away before being found out, or did something else to get rid of the relationship, they would lose more than they got, so they settled for the next best thing and found someone else.

Shu Jing stepped forward and said that he still had a doubt, he asked Lord Rong for help, Lord Rong asked him to speak, but he asked the Lord for a pen and paper, Shu Jing wrote a few words, and the yamen sent it to Lord Rong.

Then, Lord Rong blindfolded Xiaoling's eyes and said, "Fourth brother, you should explain."

The fourth prince just opened his mouth, but a clerk signaled him not to speak. Shu Jing pinched his nose and tried to imitate the voice of His Royal Highness and said, "My Highness has never done it before. There is nothing to explain. I don't even have a name." For those who know, His Highness ordered him, what a joke!"

"Your Highness, I'm Xiaoling. You asked me last night!" Xiaoling cried.

The third prince sneered and said: "It is because there is no relationship that it is not easy to be found out. I am afraid that the person I am looking for is too stupid. Besides, isn't it too naive to play this kind of trick?"

Shu Jing put down his hand and said, "At least it can be proved that Xiao Ling is not familiar with the Fourth Highness, so she can't tell the truth from the fake."

His Royal Highness secretly sighed that this plan was ingenious, and without any effort, most of his suspicions were removed.Xiaoling's testimony cannot be counted, and the quarrel between husband and wife is not a big deal.His Highness took advantage of the situation and said that he wanted to find out the real culprit and seek justice for his side wife. At the same time, he gave the Third Prince a challenging look.

Prince Rong also felt that there were too many strange things at this time, and it was not appropriate to rush to conclusions, saying that Dali Temple would continue to investigate, and only asked the fourth prince to comfort the dead wife's parents.

When exiting the hall, according to the rules, they can only leave after the two princes leave. When the fourth prince passed by, he said thank you, and the third prince, it is good to do it for himself.

Shu Jing smiled wryly, and even Ling Zimo couldn't stop saying: Jing'er should not care about such trivial matters.
