Chapter 2 Master Shen, do you believe me?

Shen Luo raised her eyes and looked around the crowd, Xie Yunsheng clearly felt that Shen Luo was avoiding herself on purpose.

Although a little discouraged, I still chose to respect her wishes and assist her to find out the case, and discuss other matters later.

Xi Shengdong stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted, with a modest attitude: "The eldest son of the lower official has a marriage contract with Gu's parents and daughters. This time, the Gu's family came to discuss the marriage. The mansion is so small that they arranged the Gu's family in this inn and sent soldiers to guard them. People are not allowed to enter, who knows that the thief is so bold."

"The time of the incident was Youshi. What were you doing at that time? Who was around? What was Gu Qingyan, the daughter of the Gu family, doing?" Shen Luo asked.

Xi Shengdong immediately replied: "The next official came to the inn to discuss the two marriages with Mr. Gu after finishing his official duties, and then we had a meal together. At that time, everyone in Gu's residence was there, and Qingyan had no appetite, so she drank some soup and took her My personal servant girl has returned to her room."

"Half an hour later, Mrs. Gu went to see Miss Gu and found that Miss Gu had passed away. At that time, everyone was in the room except the maid Xiaolian."

The round-faced servant girl immediately stepped forward: "My servant's name is Xiaolian, and she is Miss's personal servant girl. After returning to the room, Miss said she was sleepy and asked me to come back and take care of Madam."

"Have you met anyone on the road?" Shen Luo asked softly.

"Reporting to my lord, I didn't meet anyone on the way." Xiao Lian replied in a low voice.

"Where are the others?" Shen Luo looked at the three men beside Xie Yunsheng.

Xi Ke stepped forward and replied: "I didn't have any appetite at the time, so I went back to my room and drank two glasses of wine with Mr. Zhou, and then stayed in the room all the time. Mr. Zhou can prove it."

Yuluo Xike looked at Zhou Yu beside him.

Zhou Yu was dressed in brocade and white clothes, with long hair pinned up high, with a handsome face and a touch of bookishness. He stepped forward and said: "Next Zhou Yu, when Mr. Xi came to find me, I was copying scriptures. I chatted with Mr. Xi. After two sentences, continue to copy the scriptures?"

"Are you the master of the academy?" Shen Luo glanced at Zhou Yu, then picked up the orchid white porcelain teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Yes. I am the master of Jinghe Academy, teaching liberal arts." Zhou Yu bowed his hands and saluted, his words and deeds were quite the demeanor of a teacher.

"Where were you when the crime happened?" Shen Luo put down the orchid white porcelain teacup, and looked at the distraught young man lying on the chair beside Xie Yunsheng.

He was wearing a brocade robe, a gold belt, and a piece of suet white jade around his waist, dressed like a peacock.It looked a little dazzling.

"My name is Jin Ruixuan, and I'm here to prevent Qingyan from getting married. I learned that the two families are discussing marriage and drinking in the house."

As the words fell, Jin Ruixuan stood up suddenly, and pointed at Xie Yunsheng with a ferocious face: "Why don't you ask this person? He is the only person here who is an outsider. If Qingyan was killed, he is the murderer."

"Nonsense, my young master was resting in the house at that time, and we two brothers kept guarding outside the door." Zhang Liaohu said sharply in front of Xie Yunsheng.

"Yes, my lord, it must be him. All the people living in this inn are famous people, only he is a foreigner." Mrs. Gu roared hysterically, then knelt at Shen Luo's feet, begging bitterly: "Please, my lord. Take care of my daughter."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Xie Yunsheng.

Xi Shengdong looked at the situation in front of him, and secretly clenched his hands: the previous six cases were unresolved and he made a big mistake.If one person is found to be convicted and the case closed, perhaps Shen Situ can forgive him.

Xie Yunsheng saw the flash of light in Xi Shengdong's eyes, raised his hand to push Zhang Liao away, walked forward, and asked softly: "Does Master Situ believe me?"

The girl he likes has bright eyes and will definitely prove his innocence.

Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng and said affirmatively, "I believe."

"My lord, you didn't even ask his name, why did you assert that he, a person of unknown origin, has nothing to do with Qingyan's case." Jin Ruixuan rushed forward to argue with Shen Luo.

Xi Shengdong immediately sent someone to stop him, and Shen Luo waved his hands and ordered the soldiers of Zhending Mansion to retreat.

Shen Luo looked at everyone, and opened his mouth to defend Xie Yunsheng: "He has a slight medicinal smell, and this medicine is mainly composed of Panax notoginseng."

"Sanqi has the effect of stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis, and it can stop bleeding when taken when the injury is serious. However, this medicine can only be used for seven days, and it cannot be used again after seven days, otherwise the wound will not only not heal, but will also aggravate the wound and prevent the wound from healing. .”

"He was seriously injured, and the wound was on the top of his left shoulder. If he was the one who committed the crime just now, the wound must have ruptured at this moment, and his coat would also be stained with blood."

"Now his clothes are clean, there is no smell of blood on his body, only a faint smell of medicine, so he is definitely not the murderer."

"Furthermore, he is seriously injured, and his left hand is weak, so it is impossible to strangle Miss Gu's family to death with both hands." Shen Luo listed the evidence one by one, and did not give others a chance to ask questions.

"Lord Situ is very discerning! His eyes are as bright as a torch, so he can avoid detours." Xi Shengdong immediately praised him, secretly glad that he didn't insist on the man in front of him just now.

Shen Luo remained silent, ignoring Xi Shengdong's flattery.

Seeing Shen Luo frowning, Xie Yunsheng paced forward, bowed his hands and bowed: "Thank you, Sir Situ, for helping me clear up my grievances, and I hope to help Sir Situ find out the case, and repay this kindness!"

He wanted to stay by her side, help her investigate the case, and let her return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Afraid of Shen Luo's refusal, Xie Yunsheng continued to persuade: "Master Situ did not bring the guards with him on this trip, and it is inconvenient for the prefect to intervene because he is related to this case. No one under your command is available. I have two followers who understand some martial arts, but Help the adults solve the case."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xi Shengdong snapped, "Why can't I participate in this case?"

Xie Yunsheng raised his eyes, and asked softly: "It's just because Mr. Yin, the prefect, did not truthfully inform Mr. Situ of the case."

"Nonsense..." Xi Shengdong retorted immediately, but lost his voice when he saw the man's appearance clearly.

The man in front of him was majestic and awe-inspiring, not angry but majestic, exuding a touch of bookishness, dignified and graceful, and his clothes looked very ordinary but were made of cloud satin and brocade, which was very valuable.

After being silent in the officialdom for many years, how could he not see through the noble person in front of him, how could he dare to offend him?
Faced with doubts, Xie Yunsheng was neither surprised nor angry, and said: "Not only you, but the Gu couple also didn't tell the truth."

Shen Luo looked sideways, and a trace of amazement flickered in her eyes.

This man is intelligent and witty, with a graceful bearing and a delicate mind, he can see through that Xi Shengdong and others have lied just now.

Seeing that he was dressed as a son of a family, she knew a little about the children of Jiang Guo's family. If it hadn't been confirmed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured and returned to Beijing with His Majesty, she would have almost believed that the injured man in front of her was the Crown Prince Xie Yunsheng.

She looked at Xie Yunsheng with a bit of interest, and said softly: "Since you are so kind, Mr. Lao?"

"Haven't you asked your son's name yet?" Shen Luo raised her finger to the seat beside her, and made a gesture of invitation to Xie Yunsheng.

"Just call me Zizhan!" Xie Yunsheng stepped forward and sat down calmly.

Shen Luo felt a flash of light in his mind, the name was so familiar!

Zhang Liao and Zhang Kang looked at each other, and then stood beside Xie Yunsheng on the left and right.

Zhang Kang looked at his elder brother: Brother, why did His Royal Highness want to investigate the case with Sir Situ?
Just reveal your identity directly in front of Fu Yin, and leave this place of right and wrong.Why do you meddle in these things?

Although he admired Shen Situ very much, at present, His Royal Highness is seriously injured and cannot use force, so it is not appropriate to put himself in danger!

Zhang Liao gave his stupid younger brother a hard look, and warned, "Idiot, why are there so many questions?"
