After rebirth, the cold prince clings to me every day

Chapter 28 Yunshu

The carriage drove into the yard rented in advance.

Everyone got out of the car, briefly freshened up, and gathered in the front yard.

The minister of Dali Temple who came to hand over the case quickly bowed his hands.

Feng Lisheng raised his hand: "Master Chen, there is no need to be polite, please tell me the facts of the case."

Master Chen, the minister of Dali Temple, glanced hesitantly at Shen Mingjiao who was following Feng Lisheng.

Feng Lisheng waved his hand: "It's okay, the princess is one of our own."

Mr. Chen concealed his surprise, opened the file and began to describe the case:

"Let's talk about the murder case first. The first one to be involved was the Fang family, the richest man in Luodu. The incident happened half a month ago. The master and his 180 servants all survived. The fatal injuries were all on the neck. After the murder,

Judging from the traces of the wounds examined, it was initially determined to be bites from animals."

Thinking of the horrifying bright red scene at the crime scene, Mr. Chen shuddered for life.

"After inferring from the scene and wounds, the deceased did not show any resistance during his lifetime, and judging from the autopsy, no traces of poisoning were found."

"According to the description of the surrounding neighbors, apart from hearing some dogs barking that night, there was no other movement."

"On the third day after the incident, Luodu Tongpanfu and Tongzhifu were destroyed one after another, using the same method."

Shen Mingjiao took a breath when she heard this, which meant that so many people were bitten to death.

At the same time, she also raised a question: "Is it possible that these people are smoke-drenched, colorless and odorless?"

After all, drugs are no more difficult to detect than poisons.

"What the princess doesn't know is that people have subconscious minds. Even if they are severely comatose, their bodies will struggle instinctively, unless they are killed by a knife, and the deceased's throat was bitten for at least ten breaths."

Feng Lisheng tapped the table with his finger: "Are there any witnesses?"

Mr. Chen hesitated and said: "The night the Tongpan Mansion was destroyed, a little beggar saw a white shadow flying into the yard, but the little beggar was not very smart."

Feng Lisheng: "Place the person well, and you can be regarded as the only witness."

"Let's talk about the case of missing treasury silver."

Mr. Chen opened another file and his expression became much more solemn: "Five days ago, all the Luodu Treasury was looted, estimated at 20 million taels."

Feng Wu took a breath, everyone said that Luodu was rich, and it was indeed true. You must know that Daxia's treasury was only worth 100 million taels.

"All the soldiers guarding the treasury were killed. The method was exactly the same as the massacre. All officials in Luodu were taken into custody."

After saying that, he took all the files and said, "Since His Highness has sent the prince to take over the case, I can rest assured."

Feng Lisheng took it and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Mr. Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Since His Majesty sent His Royal Highness Prince Su to take over this case, it can only mean that this case involves some inhumane secrets, so it would be better for him to have less involvement.

After Mr. Chen left, Feng Lisheng asked several people: "Tell me your views on this case."

Shen Mingjiao lazily held up his chin: "Obviously, the murderer is definitely not a human being."

Feng Lisheng glanced at her, as if asking if she could be more serious when she was so serious.

Shen Mingjiao simply tilted her head towards the recliner: "Otherwise, as the storybook says, someone can use music to control animals to kill people."

Feng Wu twitched his lips: "Princess, those are all made up by literati. If there is really a skill that can drive animals, if there is nothing else, if the two sides are at war, they can directly drive the enemy's horses to counterattack, wouldn't it cost no soldiers?

A single pawn can win the battle!"

Shen Mingjiao: "Then how to explain that so many people were killed without a sound? There can't really be a monster!"

Finally, Feng Lisheng took Feng Wu and others to the crime scene to look for clues.

During the journey, Shen Mingjiao was bored and picking leaves in the empty yard.

I wanted to go out and visit the shops, but now that this happened, the entire Luodu people were in panic, and most of the shops on the street were closed.

Finally, he called some women who were cleaning the courtyard, took out ingots of silver from their purses, and asked them to tell some interesting stories about the city. They were rewarded for their good stories.

The few women who did menial work on a daily basis had never seen such a good thing. Immediately, the clever talker and gossip-loving voice began to talk about it.

However, these people were born in the lower class and had limited knowledge. They only talked about how a mother-in-law teased her daughter-in-law, a widow stole a man from a certain family, and a few things that the sister-in-law and brother-in-law of a certain family had to say...

It was still new to me when I first heard it, but the descriptions given by these people were too exaggerated, and only a few sentences were repeated over and over again.

Shen Mingjiao leaned lazily on the beauty's couch, feeling drowsy as she listened.

Seeing that the host's wife was dissatisfied, several people took a look at the white money. They all racked their brains to recall the most interesting gossip about Luo Ducheng. Someone thought of something and clapped their hands excitedly and said:

"If we talk about our Lord Zhao in Luodu City, he is definitely a handsome man comparable to the jade-faced Pan An!"

Immediately, someone refused to be outdone and said: "Forget it, Mr. Zhao is still very infatuated!"

Haitang asked curiously: "How infatuated are you? Don't you have a concubine in the house?"

The face of the person who spoke froze, and he smiled and said: "That's not true, Mr. Zhao has a wife and concubines..."

Haitang pouted: "You already have a concubine, why talk about infatuation!"

But I heard the woman continue to talk passionately: "The relationship between your Excellency and Aunt Lian is really touching!"

Haitang was confused.

What? Have times changed? When will the love between a man and his mistress be called a song and a cry!

Shen Mingjiao also became a little more interested and sat up straighter. Seeing this, the woman spoke even harder:

"This matter started five years ago. Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao's family were family friends. Later, their parents made an engagement for them.

Unexpectedly, the Zhao family was suddenly unjustly imprisoned, and Mrs. Zhao's family immediately broke off the engagement with the Zhao family out of fear of being implicated.

On the other hand, Cailian, the maid next to Mrs. Zhao, spent all the money she had saved over the years to save Mr. Zhao. In order to reverse Mr. Zhao's case, she often knelt in the rain. Finally, she moved the imperial envoy who came to interrogate the case.

In the end, the truth was found out, and Mr. Zhao was promoted to the Lord of Luodu City because of his meritorious service in cooperating with Shangfeng in handling the case.

Mrs. Zhao's family saw that Mr. Zhao had become prosperous, and came over to propose remarriage. Mr. Zhao, considering the old friendship between the two families, reluctantly agreed to the marriage, but took Cai Lian as his concubine and doted on her extremely."

Haitang felt that although it sounded pretty good, she still felt an indescribable sense of violation. She thought about it and asked, "What about Mrs. Zhao?"

The woman laughed disdainfully: "The two have been married for five years, and I heard that Mr. Zhao has never stayed overnight in Mrs. Zhao's courtyard. Ha! She deserves it. Who made her break off the engagement when she saw her fiancé's family in trouble..."

Haitang felt that it was right to say so. But she also felt that maybe Mrs. Zhao didn't know about it at the time.

Shen Mingjiao lowered his eyelashes lazily, thinking in his mind that if he polished this story and wrote it into a storybook, it would definitely sell well.

After all, the humble little white-flowered heroine counterattacked and flew up the branch!

A rich daughter’s daughter is selfish, vain and despises her husband’s troubled family!

With this plot and characters, it’s hard not to become popular.

It's just... not to mention that the two were not married at the time, and the fiancé's family was likely to be exiled or even beheaded. Although breaking off the engagement was a bit ruthless, it was understandable.

Is it possible that we have to die together to be considered affectionate?

Also...when did the Imperial Envoy become so easy to talk to?

Not to mention being unable to kneel in the rain for a long time, you will probably be thrown out by the government officials before your knees even bend.

At this time, another person lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I heard that someone gave our Master Zhao a flower girl a while ago. Her name is Yunshu. I heard that she has a bulging front and a back, especially

pretty!"

Shen Mingjiao's originally careless expression froze, she covered her beating heart, raised her head, and stared at the speaker: "What do you think the flower girl is called?"

The man was so frightened that he took a step back and stammered: "I...I also heard what others said..."

Shen Mingjiao directly pushed the ingot of silver into her hand and urged: "Tell me quickly, how much do you know about this Yun Shu?"

The man was overjoyed, holding the money and thinking for a while: "I heard that Yunshu is one of the eight beauties in the south of the Yangtze River and Qinhuai. She is nineteen years old this year and has a beautiful appearance, just like..."

She glanced at Shen Mingjiao, waited for a reaction, then quickly stopped her mouth and lowered her head in panic.

How could Shen Mingjiao care about this? Her heart was beating very fast at the moment.

Her mother's surname is Yun, and her sister hates people from the Hou family. When she was a child, she often said she wanted to change her name to Yun Shu. And her appearance and age match...

Could it be, that is really my sister!

She asked a few more questions carefully, but when she found that she couldn't get anything out, she rewarded each of them with some scraps of silver and sent them away.

But she walked around anxiously in the courtyard. When she thought of something, she shouted in a certain direction: "Wang Dashan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thin Wang Dashan fell silently from the eaves opposite.

Shen Mingjiao told him: "Help me check someone out."

Wang Dashan shook his head, "His Highness has ordered his subordinates to stay and protect the princess."

Shen Mingjiao raised her head and said, "Then take me to your Highness's head office!"

Wang Dashan, who was still a Yaotou, said blankly: "Your Highness has gone to Yizhuang in the south of the city. Without His Highness's order, I dare not take you there without permission."
