The boy in the daytime, dressed in filial piety, looked up.A candle flame was reflected in the dark pupils, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips.
"You scared him."
In the room, the three of them were sitting together, with the boy standing in the middle, Lu Ji was still in shock.Shen Zhiwei glanced at the boy with a cold expression, "Finally, what's the matter."
The boy first glanced at the young woman who was fainting aside, and Shen Zhiwei said: "Don't worry, she's fine."
Only then did the boy turn around, his pupils darkened: "I know what the adults are looking for, I can take you to the place where my father is buried."
Lu Ji paused, and several people exchanged glances.Zhu Zhipan looked at him: "Why did you tell us?"
The boy said crisply: "Because my father didn't get sick. Mother lied, he was killed by gangsters."
Lu Ji was startled, and Zhu Zhipan jumped up directly: "I said that there must be a ghost in this matter, and it is not too late. It is serious to open the coffin for an autopsy immediately."
"No, my lords, don't open the coffin, my daughter begged my lords!" The woman who fainted suddenly woke up for some reason, and rushed over, grabbing the corner of Zhu Zhipan's clothes, and burst into tears .
Lu Ji and Zhu Zhipan immediately turned their heads and looked at Shen Zhiwei at the same time.
Shen Zhiwei paused, looked at his hands, and raised his head calmly: "...It's a light hand."
Zhu Zhipan simply said: "It's okay, let's make it up."
The woman immediately cried: "The daughter of the people is willing to tell all she knows, and swears that she will never lie a little bit! I just ask the adults not to open the coffin and disturb Da Lang's peace!"
Zhu Zhipan looked up at Lu Ji again, smiled and said, "Deal."
It is late at night in the village, and there is no more sound, only the chirping of grass and insects.
"Let's talk about it, what's going on." The people in the room did not change, only the seats were changed. The young woman sat on the chair that Zhu Zhipan thoughtfully moved, and the three of Lu Ji surrounded her in the middle, and the boy stood Beside the woman, he stretched out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
The woman seemed to hesitate to speak, Shen Zhi frowned slightly: "Your husband died unexpectedly, if you can't find out the real culprit, how can you comfort his spirit?"
Zhu Zhipan followed and said: "Besides, there is something strange behind this matter. Maybe that person will regret it later. Even you mother and son want to kill them together. Do you think you can live in peace forever without telling the truth? Your son is better than you." Be more sensible."
The boy held the woman with his small hands and called out, "Mother."
The woman hesitated again and again, and finally said: "To be honest, my lords, the daughter of the people was worried that this would happen that day, so she thought that one more thing is worse than one less..." Sighed, "Now it seems that I am wrong .”
Her face was solemn: "My husband was indeed killed by villains."
She said: "The little girl's surname is Lin, and her husband Li Feng is the head of Shangquan Village. On weekdays, he often has to go to each household to check the population and collect taxes. Recently, it is the day of harvesting wheat, and it is reasonable to have to pay grain taxes. Dalang has been leaving early and returning late these days, and he often travels around the village. Three days ago, he went to the east of the village to inspect the taxes, and he came back a bit late. I was worried, so I went to look for him."
Like Straw Hat Village, Shangquan Village is adjacent to Xishan Mountain.However, it is somewhat different from Straw Hat Village.Straw hat village is low-lying and relatively flat, but Shangquan village is in the mountains.It is because there are many mountain springs, such as Yin Tianshui, it is called Shangquan.Among them, there are two rivers, which flow through the middle and divide Shangquan village into two.The terrain in the east is higher and the terrain in the west is gentle.One of them has been dry for a long time, leaving only a ditch, but the other is still flowing.After this ditch is Li Feng's house.
"It was dark that day, and the girl saw him coming from a distance, and was about to cross the stone bridge on the ditch. Before she could say hello, she saw a man jumping out from the side of the road. Her throat was sealed by that man, and she was pushed under the bridge..." Li Lin was sobbing, "The girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak out, she hid in the bushes for a long time, and then she took the courage to look for Dalang's body..."
The boy lowered his eyes, and Zhu Zhipan sighed: "The old wounds on your hands are from when you went to find the corpse?"
Li Lin nodded and said with a sob: "Minnv didn't know who Dalang offended, but she was afraid that he would come to seek revenge again, so she dared not speak up. Fortunately, it was late at night, and the villagers had already gone to sleep, so no one noticed, so the minnv took the body away. Brought it home."
"Where is it specifically, maybe take me to have a look?"
Li Lin's eyes were red, nodded, and led a few people out of the house. After a cup of tea, they arrived at the dry river ditch, which was really not far away.
Li Lin lowered his head and pointed to a place under the ditch: "There is..."
The moon was hidden in the clouds, and Lu Ji wanted to take a closer look. He took two steps forward, but he didn't pay attention to his feet. He only heard an urgent "be careful" next to his ear, followed by a tight cuff, and was pulled back forcefully.A few gravels rolled down under his feet.
Seeing Shen Zhiwei's nervous look, Zhu Zhipan couldn't help but sneered: "Master Shen is too careful." Looking at the bottom of the ditch, "This ditch is only two people deep, and it has been dry for a long time. Weeds have already grown all over the place. It's as deep as one person at most. For a grown man like Master Lu, if he falls, at most his skin will be scratched, and his head will be considered heavy. Master Shen is still worried that Master Lu will fall to his death."
Lu Ji also felt that Shen Zhiwei's reaction was a little too big, but he also knew that he had good intentions. When he was about to pull out his sleeves, he found that he couldn't pull them out, so he couldn't help but raised his head in confusion.
The moon was rising in the middle of the sky, and Shen Zhiwei's face was pale by the clear light, even holding his hand was trembling slightly.
"Master Shen?" Lu Ji was stunned, and shook his fingers in front of his eyes. Shen Zhiwei's empty eyes focused, but as if he didn't dare to look at him, he immediately lowered his eyes and let go.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Ji frowned.
Shen Zhiwei looked slightly bitter, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing..."
Zhu Zhipan joked again: "Perhaps Mr. Shen is afraid that you, Mr. Lu, will break your mind again. I don't know if you will become a different person at that time."
Lu Ji froze, subconsciously went to look at Shen Zhiwei.
Seeing his paler face, he suddenly lost his tongue and couldn't speak for a while.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhipan quickly returned to the main topic: "This ditch obviously can't kill people, but there must be clues to find the corpses here. It's too late today, so I can't see clearly. Come again in the daytime and you will know." Are you lying?" But it was said to Li Linshi.
Li Lin lowered her head: "Ministers don't dare to lie anymore, I just ask a few adults to find out the real culprit."
Zhu Zhipan stretched his waist: "Let's talk about the real murder tomorrow. After traveling all day, I need to find a place to sleep."
Li Lin said hurriedly: "If the adults don't dislike it, there are still two wing rooms in the house of the folk girls. The adults may feel wronged for a night..."
Zhu Zhipan waved his hands and said it was all right, followed Li Linshi for a few steps, turned around and saw that Lu Ji and the two were still in a daze, and couldn't help but greet: "Lord Lu, Lord Shen, don't you two lack any?"
Lu Ji suddenly came back to his senses, Shen Zhiwei also whispered: "Go and rest."
Lu Ji's throat was slightly swollen, and he turned around sullenly and followed Zhu Zhipan.All the way back to the door, Lin Bo, who had already fallen asleep, greeted him, and rushed Li Lin, who said he was going to watch the night, back to the room: "Xiaobao, who is half a child, can't stand it, you just take him Sleep, I am very energetic at the moment, leave the vigil to me." Turning to Lu Ji, his face was full of shame, "I am afraid that I will wrong the prince, the old slave has cleaned this wing, and the prince will sleep in this room. Last night."
Zhu Zhipan was already yawning and walked to the other room on the left: "Master Lu sleeps in that one, I'll sleep in this one, Mr. Shen, if you don't mind, you can squeeze with me?"
Lu Ji looked at Shen Zhiwei, but Shen Zhiwei didn't look at him, and lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.Feeling bored for a while, Lu Ji entered the room and closed the door.
Lying on the bed, Lu Ji tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.Perhaps Zhu Zhipan hadn't intended it, but it reminded him of the words Mu Heng said when he met him on the day of the palace examination——
"Do you think that Shen Zhiwei and the First Prince are so trustworthy?"
Now he is no longer a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything, he has been smacking about Shen Zhiwei's recent actions for a few days, only feeling that Shen Zhiwei is weird everywhere.If Shen Zhiwei would like him, he would not believe it, after all, ever since the two of them met, Shen Zhiwei was not quite right, and often mistook the two of them.Then there is only one explanation, Shen Zhiwei Xu just likes the little prince.
Lu Ji was a little stuffy, and couldn't help but sat up, staring at the moonlight falling on the half-open window.
In this way, Shen Zhiwei's various actions were explained, and he could tell the difference between him and the young prince, but in fact, he might not be able to deceive himself.
It's fine if it's really broken sleeves. Being a substitute for someone else is a bloody trick. In his previous life, he was an unlucky passerby. If he is still a miserable male partner in this life, who will heal him!He will never do it!
Lu Ji kicked the quilt angrily, and suddenly gave another pause.
However, if Shen Zhiwei likes the little prince, and he hastily told Shen Zhiwei that he took over the shell of the young prince, why would Shen Zhiwei not want to exchange the two of them back?
At the beginning, Ji Rongyu seemed to have said that she was going to find some witch clan outside the Great Wall.
In Lu Ji's impression, witchcraft is not a good thing, maybe there is some way to exchange life for life to train him.Since he can travel through time, it is not a fantasy to find his soul. It is not certain that the witch tribe outside the Great Wall really has some way to bring the little prince back to life.If the little prince comes back, can he survive?Is this what the system said at the beginning, uncontrollable factors?
Thinking of this, Lu Ji tentatively called the system, but got no response.Only then did he remember that when he came, Yue Qingbo stayed alone in the palace, and tried to mention it to the system, but the system actually agreed to wait for him to go back before leaving. At this moment, the system should be working as a pet in the palace. cat.
Lu Ji slapped his forehead with a slap.Forget it, what are you thinking, if Shen Zhiwei wants to harm him, can he still live well until now?
But, tonight, Shen Zhiwei's pale face suddenly appeared before his eyes again.
Has he really never wanted to exchange him and the little prince back for a moment?
"You scared him."
In the room, the three of them were sitting together, with the boy standing in the middle, Lu Ji was still in shock.Shen Zhiwei glanced at the boy with a cold expression, "Finally, what's the matter."
