Mr. Kezaku
Chapter 96 Trader Joe's 3
Chu Yuyang wobbled out of the darkness, looking like she would fall if she poked her.When Zhao Xingduan heard the movement, he turned his head immediately, and then quickly rushed over, hugging Chu Yuyang.
"Where did you go?" Zhao Xingduan was a little anxious and asked, "Are you injured?"
"Head..." Chu Yuyang supported the back of her neck, and said, "I'm a little dizzy, and someone beat me with a knife."
When Zhao Xingduan heard this, he immediately reached out and touched the back of his neck. Fortunately, the hand was not very heavy. You must know that the back of the neck is a relatively fragile part of the human body. If the hand is heavier, it is likely to be broken.
Zhao Xingduan said: "Is there any discomfort? I'll call the imperial doctor to come over now to show you."
Chu Yuyang leaned on him, shook her head, and said, "No, no, it's fine. You send people to that small pond..."
Small pond?
Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "What happened to the little pond?"
Chu Yuyang said, "There's a corpse over there."
"Corpse?!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard that, how could there be a corpse beside the small pond?They were all by the small pond just now, and Chu Yuyang disappeared there, and they didn't see any corpse at all.
However, everyone believed what Chu Yuyang said. Immediately, someone rushed to the side of the small pond. Before they got close, they took a breath of air. Sure enough, they saw a corpse lying on the side of the small pond, half of the body They all fell into the water, and they didn't struggle with their heads stuck in it, so they were obviously dead.
Several people from Dali Temple hurriedly dragged the corpse up, and there were maids and servants who were married to help illuminate the light with lanterns. When everyone saw the face of the corpse clearly, they screamed in shock.
Chu Yuyang was still dizzy, and when she heard someone screaming, she was startled, and said, "What's wrong? Someone died again, right?"
"Don't stand up." Zhao Xingduan refused to take a step away from him, and said, "Your complexion is really not pretty."
Soon someone ran back and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Chu, the corpse by the small pond is the married son."
Chu Yuyang stretched out his hands and was rubbing his head, and said in surprise, "Mr. Cheng?"
After Chu Yuyang finished speaking, there was silence for a while, and her expression was even worse.
Zhao Xingduan looked at his appearance and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head, and said, "When Mr. Cheng died just now... I was by my side."
"What?" Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, and said, "What's going on?"
Chu Yuyang said: "I'm afraid someone thinks I'm meddling in my own business, so they want to scare me."
Just now, Zhao Xingduan was chasing the person who delivered the brocade box. Chu Yuyang didn't react when he just walked away. Suddenly, he was hit in the back of the neck by someone, and he fell down after a spin.
Chu Yuyang didn't know who knocked him out, he was in a daze, and could vaguely hear the movement around him, many people were saying that Master Chu was lost, and they were shouting to find Master Chu quickly.Others say there is no here, no here, nowhere.
Chu Yuyang was semi-conscious. Although she had some consciousness in a free state, she couldn't open her eyes, couldn't speak, and couldn't tell those people that she was here.
Those people always seem to be turning around around themselves, but they just can't see themselves. It feels like they are really dreaming.
Chu Yuyang also heard a sharper voice, which was the shout of the mad Qiao. She screamed, "Killed! Someone is going to kill me! They are going to kill me!" After breaking it, Chu Yuyang felt that her ears really hurt, and those who were called were going to be deaf.
Then someone seemed to be standing by his side.The man didn't make a sound and didn't know what to do.Chu Yuyang was lying on the cold ground, she couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't see who he was.At that time, Chu Yuyang was half unconscious thinking, could this be the one who gave the brocade box?
Afterwards, Chu Yuyang heard the sound of water, someone was pressed into the water with their mouth covered, and the sound of "crash la la" followed.The person who was pushed into the water seemed to be in great pain. The fear of drowning and being unable to breathe made Chu Yuyang feel uncomfortable. Not only did water enter the lungs, but also bursts of panic surged in his heart. This feeling Makes hands and feet cold.
Chu Yuyang breathed heavily and felt dizzy. At that time, he didn't know who the person who was pushed into the water was, but he knew that maybe Master Cheng was killed in this way, and the murderer might be by his side.
But he couldn't open his eyes, no matter how hard he tried, the surroundings were pitch black.
He could clearly hear the sound in his ears, and Chu Yuyang could even feel that the man was struggling to splash water on his face, which was icy cold, but he couldn't move, shout, or stop him.
This feeling is terrible.
Only after a while, the man stopped moving, stopped struggling, and the sound of the water became quieter, but the murderer was obviously not at ease, and still held the man in the water, and after a while, That's when I let go.
Chu Yuyang's consciousness was not clear, and he struggled in his own darkness for a long time.Only then did he feel some strength in his hands and feet. He panted hard and used his elbows to support himself to sit up.
Chu Yuyang saw the blurred light, many people were running back and forth with lanterns, and she fell on the edge of the small pond.It's still a family here, and it's still night, he didn't seem to be in a coma for a long time at all, it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye.
Chu Yuyang was weak all over, and found it difficult to breathe. She tried her best to get up from the ground, but failed after two attempts.Suddenly, he touched something cold, a bit irritating, but he couldn't say it was hard. It was a human arm.
Chu Yuyang took a closer look, her face turned livid, it was a corpse.
Not far from him, there was a corpse, and Chu Yuyang was sure that it was already a corpse, because although he didn't witness it with his own eyes, he still witnessed his death process with his own eyes.
Chu Yuyang felt physically exhausted, his heart was beating violently, and beating too fast made him very tired.He stood up unsteadily, tried his best to stand firm, and then walked towards the crowded place...
Then I met Zhao Xingduan and the others.
After Zhao Xingduan heard Chu Yuyang finish the whole process, his expression became extremely ugly, and his tightly clenched hands made a "creaking" sound.
Zhao Xingduan hugged Chu Yuyang horizontally, and said, "You are too tired, I will take you back to the palace to rest first, and Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi will be in charge later."
Chu Yuyang wanted to object, but she knew that Zhao Xingduan was worried about her. Looking at Zhao Xingduan's face, she felt that even if she resisted, it would be useless, especially now that her condition was not very good, so Chu Yuyang didn't have much to say. do meaningless things.
Zhao Xingduan bowed his head and kissed his forehead, and said, "Close your eyes and rest first."
Zhao Xingduan took Chu Yuyang away, and it took a long time for Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi to return to the family.
As soon as Geng Zhi entered the gate of the married family, he said: "The search around here is really tiring. I haven't found anyone yet. This is what Mr. Chu said. I really went to all the brothels in the capital. .”
"Where is Lord Chu?" Jiang Liuwu asked.
A member of the Dali Temple saw them coming back, and hurriedly said: "Master Chu has already returned to the palace."
Geng Zhi scratched his head, and heard the man recount what happened just now, both of them were shocked.
Geng Zhi said, "Master Chu, is everything okay?"
The man said: "It should be fine, but His Majesty's complexion is not good."
Jiang Liuwu frowned and said, "Why did Mr. Cheng's body suddenly appear in Cheng's house?"
The man shook his head again, and said, "We don't know, this thing is really too evil."
According to that person, they really didn't pay attention to how Chu Yuyang lost it.There were quite a lot of people at that time. If someone really dared to kidnap Mr. Chu, how would they not find out?But they really didn't find out, no one found out, all they knew was that Master Chu was gone.
Then Lord Chu suddenly appeared again, walked out by himself, and told them that there was a corpse by the pond.Everyone really saw a corpse in the past, but some people said that he was still passing by the pond just now. I am sure that there was absolutely no entity there before.
Geng Zhi said, "That's really outrageous!"
Jiang Liuwu said: "That is to say, someone has done so many things under our noses?"
Geng Zhi asked strangely, "Then how did he do it?"
Jiang Liuwu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it looks like he must have a family, and it was very convenient for him to move around at that time."
Chu Yuyang was taken away by Zhao Xingduan, and fell asleep in a daze on the way.
Zhao Xingduan brought him back to the palace, and asked the imperial doctor to come over to give Chu Yuyang a pulse.The imperial doctor rushed over in the middle of the night, took his pulse, and found that Chu Yuyang was not only frightened, but also poisoned.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xingduan's face dropped another temperature, and the imperial doctor hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient. It's not some rare poison. Take a dose of it and you'll be fine tomorrow."
Chu Yuyang didn't even know that he was poisoned, but if he had just been hit with a hand knife, he probably wouldn't be so tired at all.Chu Yuyang was drugged. It was not a rare poison, and it was easy to get. However, the drug was very fast and could make people dazzled. It also had a slight hallucinogenic effect.Fortunately, there are not many drugs used, otherwise this drug will be addictive.
Zhao Xingduan immediately asked the imperial doctor to decoct the medicine, and then guarded Chu Yuyang by himself.
Chu Yuyang stared in bewilderment. In fact, the effect of the medicine hadn't passed yet. When the medicine was cooked, he just woke up and seemed to be in better spirits than before.
Zhao Xingduan helped the man up, let him lean on his body, and said, "Do you feel better?"
"I'm fine." Chu Yuyang said, "It's just that I was slapped on the back of the neck, why do I still need to drink medicine?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Hey, drink it. The imperial doctor said that you have been poisoned. After drinking the medicine, you will be fine."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang said in surprise, "What poison?"
Zhao Xingduan told him what the imperial doctor had said, and Chu Yuyang fell silent, because the medicine has hallucinogenic effects, so Chu Yuyang began to wonder, what he heard and felt when he was dazed, Is it an illusion or a real situation?
The difference between the two results was so different that he immediately felt very confused.
Zhao Xingduan brought the medicine to Chu Yuyang's mouth, and said: "You are tired today, after drinking the medicine, go to sleep, don't think about it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Chu Yuyang nodded, feeling a little headache and a little nausea, probably the sequelae of being hit on the back of the neck.
After Chu Yuyang drank the medicine, it was so bitter that he almost vomited it out, Zhao Xingduan immediately stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth.Chu Yuyang sucked it, and immediately frowned again.
Zhao Xingduan asked: "Still suffering?"
Chu Yuyang frowned and said, "No, it's just that I don't like this kind of candied fruit."
Zhao Xingduan couldn't help but said, "Are you still picky?"
Chu Yuyang's mouth felt bitter and uncomfortable, so he simply bit the candied fruit, and then swallowed it into his stomach.
Zhao Xingduan lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.
Chu Yuyang blinked and asked, "Is it bitter?"
"It's sweet." Zhao Xingduan said.
Chu Yuyang said: "I have medicine on my lips, but no candied fruit. How can it be sweet?"
"It's sweet." Zhao Xingduan said and licked his lips again.
Chu Yuyang stuck out his tongue and licked it on his lips, and the tip of his tongue straightened in pain. Zhao Xingduan really lied to him.
Zhao Xingduan immediately lowered his head and sucked his tongue which he couldn't get back in time, sucked hard twice, and said: "This time it's really sweet, so sweet."
Chu Yuyang blushed because of him, and said, "Will you let me sleep?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Go to sleep, you are too tired."
Although at this time, Zhao Xingduan really wanted to eat Chu Yuyang, but seeing that his face hadn't recovered, he couldn't bear to torment him, so he lay down hugging him, covered him with the quilt, and said, "Tomorrow I will eat Chu Yuyang." alright."
Chu Yuyang nodded, he was really sleepy, and fell asleep in a daze.But I don't know if it's because of the poisoning. Anyway, I can't sleep well at night, sweating and dreaming again and again. After a whole night of tossing, I slept quite tired, and it was only dawn.
When the sky was gray, Chu Yuyang calmed down and slept better than at night.Zhao Xingduan needed to go to court today, so he got up quietly, and told his attendants that if Chu Yuyang woke up, don't let him leave until he comes back.
However, Chu Yuyang didn't wake up either. She slept until Zhao Xingduan came back and was still in a daze. When she heard the voice, she opened her eyes and asked, "Are you back?"
Zhao Xingduan said, "How is your body?"
Chu Yuyang said: "It's just a little sleepy, nothing else is fine."
"It's fine as long as it's okay." Zhao Xingduan felt relieved when he saw that his face was much ruddy.
Chu Yuyang lay on the bed and said, "Duan'er, yesterday I didn't bother to ask, who is that person who brought the brocade box? Have you seen what he looks like?"
When Zhao Xingduan was mentioned by him, he remembered the boy in black with the whip.Because she was too worried about Chu Yuyang yesterday, she forgot about it.
Zhao Xingduan frowned and said: "That person's martial arts skills are more like those of Xiao Guo."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang was confused, and said, "People from the Xiao Kingdom?"
Zhao Xingduan nodded and said: "When I was on the battlefield, I saw a person from the Xiao Kingdom use this whip method, which is similar to that used by the person yesterday, but I can't be sure."
Chu Yuyang said, "Are there any other clues?"
Zhao Xingduan said, "No more."
Zhao Xingduan was in a hurry to go back to find Chu Yuyang, and Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. The man who suddenly appeared obviously had a lot of martial arts skills. It would take a long time to pester him, so Zhao Xingduan left.
Chu Yuyang slowly got up from the bed, and said, "Oh, the case hasn't been solved yet, I still have to go to get married, and I won't be there until noon if I don't go."
Zhao Xingduan took clothes for him to put on, and said, "I'll go with you."
Chu Yuyang said, "Duaner isn't busy anymore?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Busy, but I'm too worried about you."
Chu Yuyang hugged Zhao Xingduan's waist, rubbed against his chest, and said, "Duan'er is the best."
Chu Yuyang got up, and the two of them had breakfast before coming out of the palace.Zhao Xingduan took him with him on horseback, and it was still early when he got married.
Geng Zhi was at the door and said, "Master Chu, you are here, are you alright?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
"It's fine." Jiang Liuwu said: "Master Chu went back to the palace last night. The body of Mr. Cheng has been inspected in advance. He died of drowning. When the body was found, Mr. Cheng had just died. Suspicious person found."
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Where is Mr. Cheng's body?"
Jiang Liuwu took Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan to walk in. Young Master Cheng's body had already been parked in the mourning hall, and it was placed together with Master Cheng's coffin.The Second Madam cried even more sadly now, as if she was crying, after all, it was her own son who died, and she almost fainted from crying.
None of them expected to find Mr. Cheng's body, and it was next to the small pond where Cheng's family lived.After all, everyone knew that Mr. Cheng shouldn't be in Cheng's family at all, but should be in a certain brothel.
Jiang Liuwu called over the young man who followed Mr. Cheng yesterday, that young man had already been interrogated, and now he was called to tell Chu Yuyang again.
The young man said: "Yesterday I went out with the young master, and went to the brothel in the west of the city. The young master often goes there. I thought the young master was there all the time, but then the lord brought someone to find the young master and entered the room. Only when I found no one was there, did I know that the young master is gone, and where and when the young master went, I have no idea at all."
Chu Yuyang said: "This is strange, has anyone seen Mr. Cheng leave the brothel?"
The boy shook his head and said, "The girls there don't even know."
Jiang Liuwu had asked about these things, and the people in the brothel said that after Mr. Cheng came, he ordered a girl who often accompanied him, and after staying with him for a while, he said that he was tired and wanted to sleep, and the girl came out.Afterwards, the room was never opened at all, and it is unknown when Mr. Cheng disappeared.
Chu Yuyang went to the coffin to look at Mr. Cheng's body, and he had done a thorough inspection, and there were no other clues.
Chu Yuyang left the mourning hall and went to the pond next to the courtyard.
This time the pond was surrounded by people from Dali Temple. It seemed that Jiang Liuwu had given an order to keep the place airtight.
When they arrived at the pond, Chu Yuyang sat down on the big rock, then stared at the pool of water and said nothing.
Geng Zhi whispered, "What is Master Chu thinking?"
"Who would know?" Jiang Liuwu said.
I'm afraid other people really don't know what Master Chu is thinking, Master Chu can always say amazing things, and he is so angry that people don't pay for their lives.
Zhao Xingduan walked over, sat beside him, patted his shoulder and said, "What can't you figure out?"
Chu Yuyang said: "A lot, my mind is messed up."
Chu Yuyang said that there are many things that he can't figure out. First of all, the person who gave the brocade box, who is that person, and what is his purpose?
Then, who knocked himself out.That person can act in a crowded place without being suspected, it is very likely that he is an insider.In other words, it may be someone from Dali Temple, or it may be a servant of the married family.
At that time, there were a lot of people by the pond, and it was a bit chaotic, and it was possible for people not to notice by stirring up the water.
There is also a question that confuses Chu Yuyang the most, that is whether the things he felt after he fainted are real, or he is dreaming.
This made Chu Yuyang, who had always believed in her own judgment, doubt herself for the first time, and it was really impossible to try the case like this.
Chu Yuyang said: "After I passed out, I heard someone pushing Mr. Cheng into the water continuously. When I woke up again, I saw myself by the pool, and Mr. Cheng's body was there too. So why didn't anyone find us, and no one saw the murderer commit the crime?"
What Chu Yuyang said was a very big problem.Indeed, no one saw anyone by the pool at that time, and Zhao Xingduan also came back to look for him, and he was sure that Chu Yuyang was not by the pool at all at that time.
Zhao Xingduan said: "At that time, there was indeed no one by the pool."
Chu Yuyang was confused for a while, and said, "Could it be a hallucination? But..."
Zhao Xingduan also frowned.
Chu Yuyang said: "However, how to explain the corpse that suddenly appeared by the pool later?"
Cheng Gongzi's body was indeed found by the pool.
At that time, Chu Yuyang came back staggeringly, and then said that there was a corpse by the pond, and the people from Dali Temple saw it as soon as they passed by.
Chu Yuyang said, "I'm also a little confused."
He stood up as he spoke, and kicked a small stone into the water.
Zhao Xingduan hurriedly supported him and said, "Be careful when you fall into the water. Forgot that you and Hongxia both fell into the pool last time?"
How could Chu Yuyang forget, that was quite painful.
Chu Yuyang said: "I accidentally fell into it because I wanted to save Princess Hongxia, and it's not this pond...wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xingduan asked.
Chu Yuyang immediately opened her eyes wide and said, "Yes, yes, it doesn't have to be this pond."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xingduan said.
Chu Yuyang became excited and said, "I think I was deceived by the murderer. The murderer did it on purpose. He must have deliberately tried to fool me."
As he spoke, he casually grabbed a married servant and asked, "Do you have any other small ponds here?"
"Small pond?" The servant said, "Yes, there is one in the young master's yard and one in the backyard. Here, there is another one in the small courtyard."
Chu Yuyang was a little confused when he heard it, and said, "Why are there so many?"
Chu Yuyang didn't expect there to be so many small ponds in his family. He thought there were only one or two ponds, but he didn't expect there were four in total!
Zhao Xingduan said: "What's going on?"
Chu Yuyang said: "I feel that although I was given a little hallucinogenic drugs, I believe what I heard. The murderer made me go through this, and there was also a threat in it. At that time, the murderer drowned Mr. Cheng In the water, there must be a place for water, but it doesn’t have to be the pond here. Maybe I was taken to another place by the murderer after I passed out, and finally the murderer moved me and Mr. Cheng’s corpse here, It is to create a kind of psychological pressure on me, to prevent us from investigating the case."
Chu Yuyang said again: "So, I'm going to take a look at those three small ponds now."
The nearest one is the small pond in the small yard, Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan were about to go in, but the servants hurriedly stopped them.
The boy said: "This... my lord, the madam is out of consciousness, if I hurt my lord again, what should I do?"
Chu Yuyang patted Zhao Xingduan's chest and said, "It's okay, someone can protect me."
When the boy saw it, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down, the emperor is a man of gold, if he gets hurt, it will be even worse for them!
The boy rushed to find the second lady, and the second lady rushed over, her eyes were like peaches from crying, and said, "Master Chu, you were hurt by the lady last time, if you hurt again..."
Chu Yuyang just waved his hands.
Seeing his resolute appearance, the second lady said, "That's all right, Mr. Chu, you have to be mentally prepared."
The second lady nodded and asked the servant to accompany Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xing to bring them in.
The door of the small courtyard is not often opened. There is a big lock on it, and it is locked from the outside.
Chu Yuyang asked strangely: "Hey, it is locked from the outside, and the people inside are going to come out, what should I do?"
The boy said: "Knock on the door from the inside, and it will be opened if the outside hears it."
Chu Yuyang blinked and asked, "So inconvenient?"
The boy smiled and said: "What I want is the inconvenience. There is a lunatic locked inside. If it is convenient, wouldn't that lunatic escape and harm others?"
Chu Yuyang thought of the man's bitten arm, and said, "But this method may not work well, didn't you let Mrs. Qiao run away last time?"
The servant smiled shyly, and said, "It was an accident last time. Don't look at the madam as crazy, but she is really clever. The last time the little maid went outside to get something, who would have thought that it would take only a short while for the elder Madam ran away, and no one could be found, and later I heard that they all ran to the capital. But that night, there were no ghosts or wolves howling, and it was so quiet that I was afraid of people."
Chu Yuyang asked again: "Then who has the key to this door?"
He just saw that the second lady had the key, but he didn't know who else had the key.
The boy said: "The second lady has one, and the master also has one. The other one is placed there."
The boy raised his hand and pointed to a flowerpot by the door.
Chu Yuyang's eyelids jumped suddenly.
The boy said, "It's under the flower pot."
They entered the small yard, which was indeed very small, about the size of a palm. There was a very small pool in it. In front of the pool was a row of small houses. The small houses were not big, just a few.
There was a sharp cry from a room, and it was Mrs. Qiao who kept shouting.
The two little maids were sitting on the steps in front of the row of houses, they seemed to be chatting, and when they saw someone coming in, they immediately stood up.
They had never seen Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan before, so they took a second look curiously.
The young servant immediately went up to tell the two little maids, and the two little maids heard that they were here to investigate the case, but they didn't understand this, so they didn't come up to say hello.
The little servant pointed to the two little servant girls and said, "The two of them are serving the lady. The one on the left came from Qiao's house with the lady, and the one on the right is from the mansion. How will Mr. Chu investigate and what do you want to ask?" Ask them who they are all the same."
Chu Yuyang nodded, and then walked to the edge of the small pond.
The water in the pool was also clear, but it was really shallow. A large living person would not be able to drown if he fell into it, but if he had to press a person into it, it would be enough to drown a person.
Chu Yuyang was watching, when suddenly he heard a shrill cry, and then heard a "bang", someone rushed out of the room.
It's Mrs. Joe.
The door of the room was opened, and Chu Yuyang could see what it looked like inside. It was empty, maybe because she was afraid that the woman would go crazy and smash things, so there was nothing but the bed.The room is not big, but it looks quite big when it is so empty and nothing is placed.
The eldest madam suddenly rushed out madly, and the boy was startled.The little maid from Qiao's house was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Is the gate locked?"
The boy jumped up and ran, saying, "I'll go and lock the gate first."
The boy ran swiftly, and quickly locked the door after he went out to prevent the lady from running out.
The eldest lady rushed out of the room and ran towards the courtyard door, but she couldn't get out. She yelled through the door and knocked on the door vigorously, but no one paid any attention to her.
Da Furen shouted: "Let me out! Let me out! Kill me! Someone wants to kill me!"
Qiao's cry was so sharp that they could hear it clearly through the door, not to mention that there was no barrier at all now.
Chu Yuyang really had lingering fears about Qiao Shi, and immediately leaned closer to Zhao Xingduan, fearing that Qiao Shi would turn around and rush towards him in a while, and give him another bite.
The two little servant girls hurried over, one on the left and the other supported the eldest lady, and said: "Madam, go back to the room to rest, go back to the room to rest, no one wants to hurt the lady."
"what!"
A little maid yelled, and was grabbed by the big lady, there was a streak of blood on the back of her hand, and she felt pain when she saw it.The eldest lady threw the two of them away and shouted: "You want to kill me, you want to kill me, you all want to kill me, kill me! Kill me!"
The two little maids looked quite helpless, as if they felt that they had become accustomed to it again, they stood up with their arms, and then went to persuade the eldest lady to go back to the room.
Chu Yuyang frowned, feeling that it was really not easy for these two little maids.Especially the servants of the married family said that the eldest lady has been crazy for some years, and these two little maids have been serving the eldest lady for some years.
The eldest lady seemed calmer after being dissuaded by the two of them, but she kept muttering about someone trying to kill her.
The two little servant girls supported the eldest lady to go into the room, and just as she was about to enter the door, suddenly, the eldest lady shook her hand violently.
Standing on her right was the little maid from Qiao's family, who immediately bumped into the door frame, with a "boom", it was extremely painful to hear the sound.
Then the eldest lady turned around and rushed over, Chu Yuyang's scalp felt numb, why did the woman rush towards her again.
Fortunately, Zhao Xingduan is present now. Although Qiao is a lunatic and very strong, he cannot compare to Zhao Xingduan.
Qiao Shi rushed over, Zhao Xingduan stretched out his hand and pushed hard, Qiao Shi was stopped by him, without even touching a piece of Chu Yuyang's clothes, he fell to the ground.
The two little servant girls hurried over, now holding down the eldest lady from left to right, their movements were much tougher.He also said in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know anyone since Da Furen got sick, I'm really sorry."
"It's all right." Chu Yuyang quickly waved his hands and said, "Let's go out first."
A little maid said: "Knock hard at the door and someone will open the door for you two."
Chu Yuyang nodded.
The two little maids hurriedly dragged and dragged the eldest lady back to the room.
Zhao Xingduan took Chu Yuyang with him, he didn't even need to knock on the door, he turned over and took Chu Yuyang outside from the courtyard wall.
The boy was still standing outside the door, waiting to open the door for them, he was relieved to see them come out.
Chu Yuyang had seen the pond in the small yard, and wanted to see the other two ponds, one in the backyard and the other in Mr. Cheng's yard.
The second lady knew that they were going to investigate the case, so she had already ordered them to look at it casually.The second wife lost her beloved son, so she naturally wanted them to find out the murderer.
The two walked a few steps forward, when Zhao Xingduan suddenly grabbed Chu Yuyang.
Chu Yuyang turned around strangely, and said, "What's the matter? Duan'er."
Zhao Xingduan pulled his hand up and put something on it.
Chu Yuyang looked down, in the palm of her hand was a ring, it should be made of gold, and a large gemstone was inlaid on it.
Chu Yuyang blinked her eyes with the ring, then put it on her hand, and said, "Hey, Duaner, my fingers are so thick, they are too big for you to wear them."
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
Zhao Xingduan said, "It's not for you."
"What?" Chu Yuyang immediately looked aggrieved, and said, "You want Hongxing to have an affair, but didn't you buy the ring for me?"
Zhao Xingduan said helplessly: "This is what I got just now, and it was stuffed by Mrs. Qiao."
"What?" Chu Yuyang was even more aggrieved, and said, "Duan'er, it's fine if you have cheated on Hong Xing. You still have problems with your eyes. Qiao is so old, and he doesn't look as good-looking as I do!"
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
Zhao Xingduan wanted to touch Chu Yuyang's dumb acupoint now, and said, "I don't think Mrs. Qiao is crazy."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang tilted her head to look at him, and said, "How do you know?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "She rushed towards you just now, and I stopped her for you, so she gave me this ring. If it was a delirious person, how could he do this?"
Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "Is she pretending to be crazy?"
Zhao Xingduan nodded and said, "It's very possible."
Chu Yuyang was immediately annoyed, and said, "She pretended to be crazy and bit me?"
"If Qiao is pretending to be crazy, then what does she mean by yelling all the time?" Chu Yuyang asked, "And why did you give this ring to you?"
Zhao Xingduan said, "I don't know."
Chu Yuyang brought Jiang Liuwu over and asked him to check what's wrong with the ring.Then Chu Yuyang continued to take Zhao Xingduan to check the remaining two small ponds.
The small ponds are all similar, the one next to the small yard is relatively large, and the others are quite small, so there is no problem if you look at it again and again.
Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi came back very quickly, Chu Yuyang asked strangely: "Did you find out so soon?"
Geng Zhi nodded and said, "As soon as I inquired, I found out."
Chu Yuyang said, "What's going on?"
Jiang Liuwu said: "This ring belongs to Mr. Cheng."
"Young Master?" Chu Yuyang said in surprise, he also felt that Mrs. Qiao was pretending to be crazy.
Geng Zhi said: "Not only that, but I also told Mr. Cheng's servant that Mr. Cheng should have been wearing this ring before he was killed. He said Mr. Cheng liked this ring very much."
That's what Mr. Cheng's servant said, and so did the brothel girl who saw Mr. Cheng last.The girl was very impressed with Mr. Cheng, after all, she was a frequent visitor.She also said that Mr. Cheng liked that ring very much. When he came here for the last time, he also wore this ring on his hand. Because it was very valuable, she always glanced at it inadvertently, so she was sure.
Chu Yuyang said: "That is to say, this ring should be on the deceased, but now it is not on the deceased, but it appears in that Qiao's hand?"
"Where did you go?" Zhao Xingduan was a little anxious and asked, "Are you injured?"
"Head..." Chu Yuyang supported the back of her neck, and said, "I'm a little dizzy, and someone beat me with a knife."
When Zhao Xingduan heard this, he immediately reached out and touched the back of his neck. Fortunately, the hand was not very heavy. You must know that the back of the neck is a relatively fragile part of the human body. If the hand is heavier, it is likely to be broken.
Zhao Xingduan said: "Is there any discomfort? I'll call the imperial doctor to come over now to show you."
Chu Yuyang leaned on him, shook her head, and said, "No, no, it's fine. You send people to that small pond..."
Small pond?
Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "What happened to the little pond?"
Chu Yuyang said, "There's a corpse over there."
"Corpse?!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard that, how could there be a corpse beside the small pond?They were all by the small pond just now, and Chu Yuyang disappeared there, and they didn't see any corpse at all.
However, everyone believed what Chu Yuyang said. Immediately, someone rushed to the side of the small pond. Before they got close, they took a breath of air. Sure enough, they saw a corpse lying on the side of the small pond, half of the body They all fell into the water, and they didn't struggle with their heads stuck in it, so they were obviously dead.
Several people from Dali Temple hurriedly dragged the corpse up, and there were maids and servants who were married to help illuminate the light with lanterns. When everyone saw the face of the corpse clearly, they screamed in shock.
Chu Yuyang was still dizzy, and when she heard someone screaming, she was startled, and said, "What's wrong? Someone died again, right?"
"Don't stand up." Zhao Xingduan refused to take a step away from him, and said, "Your complexion is really not pretty."
Soon someone ran back and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Chu, the corpse by the small pond is the married son."
Chu Yuyang stretched out his hands and was rubbing his head, and said in surprise, "Mr. Cheng?"
After Chu Yuyang finished speaking, there was silence for a while, and her expression was even worse.
Zhao Xingduan looked at his appearance and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head, and said, "When Mr. Cheng died just now... I was by my side."
"What?" Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, and said, "What's going on?"
Chu Yuyang said: "I'm afraid someone thinks I'm meddling in my own business, so they want to scare me."
Just now, Zhao Xingduan was chasing the person who delivered the brocade box. Chu Yuyang didn't react when he just walked away. Suddenly, he was hit in the back of the neck by someone, and he fell down after a spin.
Chu Yuyang didn't know who knocked him out, he was in a daze, and could vaguely hear the movement around him, many people were saying that Master Chu was lost, and they were shouting to find Master Chu quickly.Others say there is no here, no here, nowhere.
Chu Yuyang was semi-conscious. Although she had some consciousness in a free state, she couldn't open her eyes, couldn't speak, and couldn't tell those people that she was here.
Those people always seem to be turning around around themselves, but they just can't see themselves. It feels like they are really dreaming.
Chu Yuyang also heard a sharper voice, which was the shout of the mad Qiao. She screamed, "Killed! Someone is going to kill me! They are going to kill me!" After breaking it, Chu Yuyang felt that her ears really hurt, and those who were called were going to be deaf.
Then someone seemed to be standing by his side.The man didn't make a sound and didn't know what to do.Chu Yuyang was lying on the cold ground, she couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't see who he was.At that time, Chu Yuyang was half unconscious thinking, could this be the one who gave the brocade box?
Afterwards, Chu Yuyang heard the sound of water, someone was pressed into the water with their mouth covered, and the sound of "crash la la" followed.The person who was pushed into the water seemed to be in great pain. The fear of drowning and being unable to breathe made Chu Yuyang feel uncomfortable. Not only did water enter the lungs, but also bursts of panic surged in his heart. This feeling Makes hands and feet cold.
Chu Yuyang breathed heavily and felt dizzy. At that time, he didn't know who the person who was pushed into the water was, but he knew that maybe Master Cheng was killed in this way, and the murderer might be by his side.
But he couldn't open his eyes, no matter how hard he tried, the surroundings were pitch black.
He could clearly hear the sound in his ears, and Chu Yuyang could even feel that the man was struggling to splash water on his face, which was icy cold, but he couldn't move, shout, or stop him.
This feeling is terrible.
Only after a while, the man stopped moving, stopped struggling, and the sound of the water became quieter, but the murderer was obviously not at ease, and still held the man in the water, and after a while, That's when I let go.
Chu Yuyang's consciousness was not clear, and he struggled in his own darkness for a long time.Only then did he feel some strength in his hands and feet. He panted hard and used his elbows to support himself to sit up.
Chu Yuyang saw the blurred light, many people were running back and forth with lanterns, and she fell on the edge of the small pond.It's still a family here, and it's still night, he didn't seem to be in a coma for a long time at all, it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye.
Chu Yuyang was weak all over, and found it difficult to breathe. She tried her best to get up from the ground, but failed after two attempts.Suddenly, he touched something cold, a bit irritating, but he couldn't say it was hard. It was a human arm.
Chu Yuyang took a closer look, her face turned livid, it was a corpse.
Not far from him, there was a corpse, and Chu Yuyang was sure that it was already a corpse, because although he didn't witness it with his own eyes, he still witnessed his death process with his own eyes.
Chu Yuyang felt physically exhausted, his heart was beating violently, and beating too fast made him very tired.He stood up unsteadily, tried his best to stand firm, and then walked towards the crowded place...
Then I met Zhao Xingduan and the others.
After Zhao Xingduan heard Chu Yuyang finish the whole process, his expression became extremely ugly, and his tightly clenched hands made a "creaking" sound.
Zhao Xingduan hugged Chu Yuyang horizontally, and said, "You are too tired, I will take you back to the palace to rest first, and Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi will be in charge later."
Chu Yuyang wanted to object, but she knew that Zhao Xingduan was worried about her. Looking at Zhao Xingduan's face, she felt that even if she resisted, it would be useless, especially now that her condition was not very good, so Chu Yuyang didn't have much to say. do meaningless things.
Zhao Xingduan bowed his head and kissed his forehead, and said, "Close your eyes and rest first."
Zhao Xingduan took Chu Yuyang away, and it took a long time for Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi to return to the family.
As soon as Geng Zhi entered the gate of the married family, he said: "The search around here is really tiring. I haven't found anyone yet. This is what Mr. Chu said. I really went to all the brothels in the capital. .”
"Where is Lord Chu?" Jiang Liuwu asked.
A member of the Dali Temple saw them coming back, and hurriedly said: "Master Chu has already returned to the palace."
Geng Zhi scratched his head, and heard the man recount what happened just now, both of them were shocked.
Geng Zhi said, "Master Chu, is everything okay?"
The man said: "It should be fine, but His Majesty's complexion is not good."
Jiang Liuwu frowned and said, "Why did Mr. Cheng's body suddenly appear in Cheng's house?"
The man shook his head again, and said, "We don't know, this thing is really too evil."
According to that person, they really didn't pay attention to how Chu Yuyang lost it.There were quite a lot of people at that time. If someone really dared to kidnap Mr. Chu, how would they not find out?But they really didn't find out, no one found out, all they knew was that Master Chu was gone.
Then Lord Chu suddenly appeared again, walked out by himself, and told them that there was a corpse by the pond.Everyone really saw a corpse in the past, but some people said that he was still passing by the pond just now. I am sure that there was absolutely no entity there before.
Geng Zhi said, "That's really outrageous!"
Jiang Liuwu said: "That is to say, someone has done so many things under our noses?"
Geng Zhi asked strangely, "Then how did he do it?"
Jiang Liuwu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it looks like he must have a family, and it was very convenient for him to move around at that time."
Chu Yuyang was taken away by Zhao Xingduan, and fell asleep in a daze on the way.
Zhao Xingduan brought him back to the palace, and asked the imperial doctor to come over to give Chu Yuyang a pulse.The imperial doctor rushed over in the middle of the night, took his pulse, and found that Chu Yuyang was not only frightened, but also poisoned.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xingduan's face dropped another temperature, and the imperial doctor hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient. It's not some rare poison. Take a dose of it and you'll be fine tomorrow."
Chu Yuyang didn't even know that he was poisoned, but if he had just been hit with a hand knife, he probably wouldn't be so tired at all.Chu Yuyang was drugged. It was not a rare poison, and it was easy to get. However, the drug was very fast and could make people dazzled. It also had a slight hallucinogenic effect.Fortunately, there are not many drugs used, otherwise this drug will be addictive.
Zhao Xingduan immediately asked the imperial doctor to decoct the medicine, and then guarded Chu Yuyang by himself.
Chu Yuyang stared in bewilderment. In fact, the effect of the medicine hadn't passed yet. When the medicine was cooked, he just woke up and seemed to be in better spirits than before.
Zhao Xingduan helped the man up, let him lean on his body, and said, "Do you feel better?"
"I'm fine." Chu Yuyang said, "It's just that I was slapped on the back of the neck, why do I still need to drink medicine?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Hey, drink it. The imperial doctor said that you have been poisoned. After drinking the medicine, you will be fine."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang said in surprise, "What poison?"
Zhao Xingduan told him what the imperial doctor had said, and Chu Yuyang fell silent, because the medicine has hallucinogenic effects, so Chu Yuyang began to wonder, what he heard and felt when he was dazed, Is it an illusion or a real situation?
The difference between the two results was so different that he immediately felt very confused.
Zhao Xingduan brought the medicine to Chu Yuyang's mouth, and said: "You are tired today, after drinking the medicine, go to sleep, don't think about it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Chu Yuyang nodded, feeling a little headache and a little nausea, probably the sequelae of being hit on the back of the neck.
After Chu Yuyang drank the medicine, it was so bitter that he almost vomited it out, Zhao Xingduan immediately stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth.Chu Yuyang sucked it, and immediately frowned again.
Zhao Xingduan asked: "Still suffering?"
Chu Yuyang frowned and said, "No, it's just that I don't like this kind of candied fruit."
Zhao Xingduan couldn't help but said, "Are you still picky?"
Chu Yuyang's mouth felt bitter and uncomfortable, so he simply bit the candied fruit, and then swallowed it into his stomach.
Zhao Xingduan lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.
Chu Yuyang blinked and asked, "Is it bitter?"
"It's sweet." Zhao Xingduan said.
Chu Yuyang said: "I have medicine on my lips, but no candied fruit. How can it be sweet?"
"It's sweet." Zhao Xingduan said and licked his lips again.
Chu Yuyang stuck out his tongue and licked it on his lips, and the tip of his tongue straightened in pain. Zhao Xingduan really lied to him.
Zhao Xingduan immediately lowered his head and sucked his tongue which he couldn't get back in time, sucked hard twice, and said: "This time it's really sweet, so sweet."
Chu Yuyang blushed because of him, and said, "Will you let me sleep?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Go to sleep, you are too tired."
Although at this time, Zhao Xingduan really wanted to eat Chu Yuyang, but seeing that his face hadn't recovered, he couldn't bear to torment him, so he lay down hugging him, covered him with the quilt, and said, "Tomorrow I will eat Chu Yuyang." alright."
Chu Yuyang nodded, he was really sleepy, and fell asleep in a daze.But I don't know if it's because of the poisoning. Anyway, I can't sleep well at night, sweating and dreaming again and again. After a whole night of tossing, I slept quite tired, and it was only dawn.
When the sky was gray, Chu Yuyang calmed down and slept better than at night.Zhao Xingduan needed to go to court today, so he got up quietly, and told his attendants that if Chu Yuyang woke up, don't let him leave until he comes back.
However, Chu Yuyang didn't wake up either. She slept until Zhao Xingduan came back and was still in a daze. When she heard the voice, she opened her eyes and asked, "Are you back?"
Zhao Xingduan said, "How is your body?"
Chu Yuyang said: "It's just a little sleepy, nothing else is fine."
"It's fine as long as it's okay." Zhao Xingduan felt relieved when he saw that his face was much ruddy.
Chu Yuyang lay on the bed and said, "Duan'er, yesterday I didn't bother to ask, who is that person who brought the brocade box? Have you seen what he looks like?"
When Zhao Xingduan was mentioned by him, he remembered the boy in black with the whip.Because she was too worried about Chu Yuyang yesterday, she forgot about it.
Zhao Xingduan frowned and said: "That person's martial arts skills are more like those of Xiao Guo."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang was confused, and said, "People from the Xiao Kingdom?"
Zhao Xingduan nodded and said: "When I was on the battlefield, I saw a person from the Xiao Kingdom use this whip method, which is similar to that used by the person yesterday, but I can't be sure."
Chu Yuyang said, "Are there any other clues?"
Zhao Xingduan said, "No more."
Zhao Xingduan was in a hurry to go back to find Chu Yuyang, and Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. The man who suddenly appeared obviously had a lot of martial arts skills. It would take a long time to pester him, so Zhao Xingduan left.
Chu Yuyang slowly got up from the bed, and said, "Oh, the case hasn't been solved yet, I still have to go to get married, and I won't be there until noon if I don't go."
Zhao Xingduan took clothes for him to put on, and said, "I'll go with you."
Chu Yuyang said, "Duaner isn't busy anymore?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Busy, but I'm too worried about you."
Chu Yuyang hugged Zhao Xingduan's waist, rubbed against his chest, and said, "Duan'er is the best."
Chu Yuyang got up, and the two of them had breakfast before coming out of the palace.Zhao Xingduan took him with him on horseback, and it was still early when he got married.
Geng Zhi was at the door and said, "Master Chu, you are here, are you alright?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
"It's fine." Jiang Liuwu said: "Master Chu went back to the palace last night. The body of Mr. Cheng has been inspected in advance. He died of drowning. When the body was found, Mr. Cheng had just died. Suspicious person found."
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Where is Mr. Cheng's body?"
Jiang Liuwu took Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan to walk in. Young Master Cheng's body had already been parked in the mourning hall, and it was placed together with Master Cheng's coffin.The Second Madam cried even more sadly now, as if she was crying, after all, it was her own son who died, and she almost fainted from crying.
None of them expected to find Mr. Cheng's body, and it was next to the small pond where Cheng's family lived.After all, everyone knew that Mr. Cheng shouldn't be in Cheng's family at all, but should be in a certain brothel.
Jiang Liuwu called over the young man who followed Mr. Cheng yesterday, that young man had already been interrogated, and now he was called to tell Chu Yuyang again.
The young man said: "Yesterday I went out with the young master, and went to the brothel in the west of the city. The young master often goes there. I thought the young master was there all the time, but then the lord brought someone to find the young master and entered the room. Only when I found no one was there, did I know that the young master is gone, and where and when the young master went, I have no idea at all."
Chu Yuyang said: "This is strange, has anyone seen Mr. Cheng leave the brothel?"
The boy shook his head and said, "The girls there don't even know."
Jiang Liuwu had asked about these things, and the people in the brothel said that after Mr. Cheng came, he ordered a girl who often accompanied him, and after staying with him for a while, he said that he was tired and wanted to sleep, and the girl came out.Afterwards, the room was never opened at all, and it is unknown when Mr. Cheng disappeared.
Chu Yuyang went to the coffin to look at Mr. Cheng's body, and he had done a thorough inspection, and there were no other clues.
Chu Yuyang left the mourning hall and went to the pond next to the courtyard.
This time the pond was surrounded by people from Dali Temple. It seemed that Jiang Liuwu had given an order to keep the place airtight.
When they arrived at the pond, Chu Yuyang sat down on the big rock, then stared at the pool of water and said nothing.
Geng Zhi whispered, "What is Master Chu thinking?"
"Who would know?" Jiang Liuwu said.
I'm afraid other people really don't know what Master Chu is thinking, Master Chu can always say amazing things, and he is so angry that people don't pay for their lives.
Zhao Xingduan walked over, sat beside him, patted his shoulder and said, "What can't you figure out?"
Chu Yuyang said: "A lot, my mind is messed up."
Chu Yuyang said that there are many things that he can't figure out. First of all, the person who gave the brocade box, who is that person, and what is his purpose?
Then, who knocked himself out.That person can act in a crowded place without being suspected, it is very likely that he is an insider.In other words, it may be someone from Dali Temple, or it may be a servant of the married family.
At that time, there were a lot of people by the pond, and it was a bit chaotic, and it was possible for people not to notice by stirring up the water.
There is also a question that confuses Chu Yuyang the most, that is whether the things he felt after he fainted are real, or he is dreaming.
This made Chu Yuyang, who had always believed in her own judgment, doubt herself for the first time, and it was really impossible to try the case like this.
Chu Yuyang said: "After I passed out, I heard someone pushing Mr. Cheng into the water continuously. When I woke up again, I saw myself by the pool, and Mr. Cheng's body was there too. So why didn't anyone find us, and no one saw the murderer commit the crime?"
What Chu Yuyang said was a very big problem.Indeed, no one saw anyone by the pool at that time, and Zhao Xingduan also came back to look for him, and he was sure that Chu Yuyang was not by the pool at all at that time.
Zhao Xingduan said: "At that time, there was indeed no one by the pool."
Chu Yuyang was confused for a while, and said, "Could it be a hallucination? But..."
Zhao Xingduan also frowned.
Chu Yuyang said: "However, how to explain the corpse that suddenly appeared by the pool later?"
Cheng Gongzi's body was indeed found by the pool.
At that time, Chu Yuyang came back staggeringly, and then said that there was a corpse by the pond, and the people from Dali Temple saw it as soon as they passed by.
Chu Yuyang said, "I'm also a little confused."
He stood up as he spoke, and kicked a small stone into the water.
Zhao Xingduan hurriedly supported him and said, "Be careful when you fall into the water. Forgot that you and Hongxia both fell into the pool last time?"
How could Chu Yuyang forget, that was quite painful.
Chu Yuyang said: "I accidentally fell into it because I wanted to save Princess Hongxia, and it's not this pond...wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xingduan asked.
Chu Yuyang immediately opened her eyes wide and said, "Yes, yes, it doesn't have to be this pond."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xingduan said.
Chu Yuyang became excited and said, "I think I was deceived by the murderer. The murderer did it on purpose. He must have deliberately tried to fool me."
As he spoke, he casually grabbed a married servant and asked, "Do you have any other small ponds here?"
"Small pond?" The servant said, "Yes, there is one in the young master's yard and one in the backyard. Here, there is another one in the small courtyard."
Chu Yuyang was a little confused when he heard it, and said, "Why are there so many?"
Chu Yuyang didn't expect there to be so many small ponds in his family. He thought there were only one or two ponds, but he didn't expect there were four in total!
Zhao Xingduan said: "What's going on?"
Chu Yuyang said: "I feel that although I was given a little hallucinogenic drugs, I believe what I heard. The murderer made me go through this, and there was also a threat in it. At that time, the murderer drowned Mr. Cheng In the water, there must be a place for water, but it doesn’t have to be the pond here. Maybe I was taken to another place by the murderer after I passed out, and finally the murderer moved me and Mr. Cheng’s corpse here, It is to create a kind of psychological pressure on me, to prevent us from investigating the case."
Chu Yuyang said again: "So, I'm going to take a look at those three small ponds now."
The nearest one is the small pond in the small yard, Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan were about to go in, but the servants hurriedly stopped them.
The boy said: "This... my lord, the madam is out of consciousness, if I hurt my lord again, what should I do?"
Chu Yuyang patted Zhao Xingduan's chest and said, "It's okay, someone can protect me."
When the boy saw it, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down, the emperor is a man of gold, if he gets hurt, it will be even worse for them!
The boy rushed to find the second lady, and the second lady rushed over, her eyes were like peaches from crying, and said, "Master Chu, you were hurt by the lady last time, if you hurt again..."
Chu Yuyang just waved his hands.
Seeing his resolute appearance, the second lady said, "That's all right, Mr. Chu, you have to be mentally prepared."
The second lady nodded and asked the servant to accompany Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xing to bring them in.
The door of the small courtyard is not often opened. There is a big lock on it, and it is locked from the outside.
Chu Yuyang asked strangely: "Hey, it is locked from the outside, and the people inside are going to come out, what should I do?"
The boy said: "Knock on the door from the inside, and it will be opened if the outside hears it."
Chu Yuyang blinked and asked, "So inconvenient?"
The boy smiled and said: "What I want is the inconvenience. There is a lunatic locked inside. If it is convenient, wouldn't that lunatic escape and harm others?"
Chu Yuyang thought of the man's bitten arm, and said, "But this method may not work well, didn't you let Mrs. Qiao run away last time?"
The servant smiled shyly, and said, "It was an accident last time. Don't look at the madam as crazy, but she is really clever. The last time the little maid went outside to get something, who would have thought that it would take only a short while for the elder Madam ran away, and no one could be found, and later I heard that they all ran to the capital. But that night, there were no ghosts or wolves howling, and it was so quiet that I was afraid of people."
Chu Yuyang asked again: "Then who has the key to this door?"
He just saw that the second lady had the key, but he didn't know who else had the key.
The boy said: "The second lady has one, and the master also has one. The other one is placed there."
The boy raised his hand and pointed to a flowerpot by the door.
Chu Yuyang's eyelids jumped suddenly.
The boy said, "It's under the flower pot."
They entered the small yard, which was indeed very small, about the size of a palm. There was a very small pool in it. In front of the pool was a row of small houses. The small houses were not big, just a few.
There was a sharp cry from a room, and it was Mrs. Qiao who kept shouting.
The two little maids were sitting on the steps in front of the row of houses, they seemed to be chatting, and when they saw someone coming in, they immediately stood up.
They had never seen Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan before, so they took a second look curiously.
The young servant immediately went up to tell the two little maids, and the two little maids heard that they were here to investigate the case, but they didn't understand this, so they didn't come up to say hello.
The little servant pointed to the two little servant girls and said, "The two of them are serving the lady. The one on the left came from Qiao's house with the lady, and the one on the right is from the mansion. How will Mr. Chu investigate and what do you want to ask?" Ask them who they are all the same."
Chu Yuyang nodded, and then walked to the edge of the small pond.
The water in the pool was also clear, but it was really shallow. A large living person would not be able to drown if he fell into it, but if he had to press a person into it, it would be enough to drown a person.
Chu Yuyang was watching, when suddenly he heard a shrill cry, and then heard a "bang", someone rushed out of the room.
It's Mrs. Joe.
The door of the room was opened, and Chu Yuyang could see what it looked like inside. It was empty, maybe because she was afraid that the woman would go crazy and smash things, so there was nothing but the bed.The room is not big, but it looks quite big when it is so empty and nothing is placed.
The eldest madam suddenly rushed out madly, and the boy was startled.The little maid from Qiao's house was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Is the gate locked?"
The boy jumped up and ran, saying, "I'll go and lock the gate first."
The boy ran swiftly, and quickly locked the door after he went out to prevent the lady from running out.
The eldest lady rushed out of the room and ran towards the courtyard door, but she couldn't get out. She yelled through the door and knocked on the door vigorously, but no one paid any attention to her.
Da Furen shouted: "Let me out! Let me out! Kill me! Someone wants to kill me!"
Qiao's cry was so sharp that they could hear it clearly through the door, not to mention that there was no barrier at all now.
Chu Yuyang really had lingering fears about Qiao Shi, and immediately leaned closer to Zhao Xingduan, fearing that Qiao Shi would turn around and rush towards him in a while, and give him another bite.
The two little servant girls hurried over, one on the left and the other supported the eldest lady, and said: "Madam, go back to the room to rest, go back to the room to rest, no one wants to hurt the lady."
"what!"
A little maid yelled, and was grabbed by the big lady, there was a streak of blood on the back of her hand, and she felt pain when she saw it.The eldest lady threw the two of them away and shouted: "You want to kill me, you want to kill me, you all want to kill me, kill me! Kill me!"
The two little maids looked quite helpless, as if they felt that they had become accustomed to it again, they stood up with their arms, and then went to persuade the eldest lady to go back to the room.
Chu Yuyang frowned, feeling that it was really not easy for these two little maids.Especially the servants of the married family said that the eldest lady has been crazy for some years, and these two little maids have been serving the eldest lady for some years.
The eldest lady seemed calmer after being dissuaded by the two of them, but she kept muttering about someone trying to kill her.
The two little servant girls supported the eldest lady to go into the room, and just as she was about to enter the door, suddenly, the eldest lady shook her hand violently.
Standing on her right was the little maid from Qiao's family, who immediately bumped into the door frame, with a "boom", it was extremely painful to hear the sound.
Then the eldest lady turned around and rushed over, Chu Yuyang's scalp felt numb, why did the woman rush towards her again.
Fortunately, Zhao Xingduan is present now. Although Qiao is a lunatic and very strong, he cannot compare to Zhao Xingduan.
Qiao Shi rushed over, Zhao Xingduan stretched out his hand and pushed hard, Qiao Shi was stopped by him, without even touching a piece of Chu Yuyang's clothes, he fell to the ground.
The two little servant girls hurried over, now holding down the eldest lady from left to right, their movements were much tougher.He also said in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know anyone since Da Furen got sick, I'm really sorry."
"It's all right." Chu Yuyang quickly waved his hands and said, "Let's go out first."
A little maid said: "Knock hard at the door and someone will open the door for you two."
Chu Yuyang nodded.
The two little maids hurriedly dragged and dragged the eldest lady back to the room.
Zhao Xingduan took Chu Yuyang with him, he didn't even need to knock on the door, he turned over and took Chu Yuyang outside from the courtyard wall.
The boy was still standing outside the door, waiting to open the door for them, he was relieved to see them come out.
Chu Yuyang had seen the pond in the small yard, and wanted to see the other two ponds, one in the backyard and the other in Mr. Cheng's yard.
The second lady knew that they were going to investigate the case, so she had already ordered them to look at it casually.The second wife lost her beloved son, so she naturally wanted them to find out the murderer.
The two walked a few steps forward, when Zhao Xingduan suddenly grabbed Chu Yuyang.
Chu Yuyang turned around strangely, and said, "What's the matter? Duan'er."
Zhao Xingduan pulled his hand up and put something on it.
Chu Yuyang looked down, in the palm of her hand was a ring, it should be made of gold, and a large gemstone was inlaid on it.
Chu Yuyang blinked her eyes with the ring, then put it on her hand, and said, "Hey, Duaner, my fingers are so thick, they are too big for you to wear them."
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
Zhao Xingduan said, "It's not for you."
"What?" Chu Yuyang immediately looked aggrieved, and said, "You want Hongxing to have an affair, but didn't you buy the ring for me?"
Zhao Xingduan said helplessly: "This is what I got just now, and it was stuffed by Mrs. Qiao."
"What?" Chu Yuyang was even more aggrieved, and said, "Duan'er, it's fine if you have cheated on Hong Xing. You still have problems with your eyes. Qiao is so old, and he doesn't look as good-looking as I do!"
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
Zhao Xingduan wanted to touch Chu Yuyang's dumb acupoint now, and said, "I don't think Mrs. Qiao is crazy."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang tilted her head to look at him, and said, "How do you know?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "She rushed towards you just now, and I stopped her for you, so she gave me this ring. If it was a delirious person, how could he do this?"
Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "Is she pretending to be crazy?"
Zhao Xingduan nodded and said, "It's very possible."
Chu Yuyang was immediately annoyed, and said, "She pretended to be crazy and bit me?"
"If Qiao is pretending to be crazy, then what does she mean by yelling all the time?" Chu Yuyang asked, "And why did you give this ring to you?"
Zhao Xingduan said, "I don't know."
Chu Yuyang brought Jiang Liuwu over and asked him to check what's wrong with the ring.Then Chu Yuyang continued to take Zhao Xingduan to check the remaining two small ponds.
The small ponds are all similar, the one next to the small yard is relatively large, and the others are quite small, so there is no problem if you look at it again and again.
Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi came back very quickly, Chu Yuyang asked strangely: "Did you find out so soon?"
Geng Zhi nodded and said, "As soon as I inquired, I found out."
Chu Yuyang said, "What's going on?"
Jiang Liuwu said: "This ring belongs to Mr. Cheng."
"Young Master?" Chu Yuyang said in surprise, he also felt that Mrs. Qiao was pretending to be crazy.
Geng Zhi said: "Not only that, but I also told Mr. Cheng's servant that Mr. Cheng should have been wearing this ring before he was killed. He said Mr. Cheng liked this ring very much."
That's what Mr. Cheng's servant said, and so did the brothel girl who saw Mr. Cheng last.The girl was very impressed with Mr. Cheng, after all, she was a frequent visitor.She also said that Mr. Cheng liked that ring very much. When he came here for the last time, he also wore this ring on his hand. Because it was very valuable, she always glanced at it inadvertently, so she was sure.
Chu Yuyang said: "That is to say, this ring should be on the deceased, but now it is not on the deceased, but it appears in that Qiao's hand?"
