Murong Ci saw that there was an ox cart beside it, and there was a coffin on the ox cart.
Discussions surged like a tide, and the pretty girl heard the discussions of the crowd and knew that this inn would not allow her to stay, so she gave up her mind, lifted the ox cart, and was about to pull the ox cart away and go to another house Try the inn.
The kind-hearted aunt said: "Girl, you don't have to go to another house to try, there will be no inn willing to let you stay. You might as well take the coffin to the ruined temple in the suburbs."
After hearing this, the girl thanked her and prepared to go to the ruined temple.
Qin Ruo sympathized: "It's not easy for a girl to walk such a long distance with an ox cart on such a hot day."
is not that right
Murong Ci saw that the girl's clothes were soaked through, so it must have been wet and then dry, dry and wet during the journey.
"There must be something wrong with pulling the coffin to the capital."
"Slave to ask," Qin Ruo said.
"Go." Murong Ci suddenly felt that this matter was a bit weird. When a person dies, he must go to the ground to rest in peace. No one would take the dead body of their loved ones to travel such a long distance to other places. Could it be that girl has something wronged
Qin Ruo bought two buns for the girl, and said kindly: "Girl, you can eat these two buns first. The girl is not from the capital, right? The people in the coffin are your relatives? Why drag the coffin to the city"
The girl saw her friendly face, and said: "My brother is dead, I took him to Beijing to avenge my brother's grievance."
Qin Ruo was very surprised, "Oh, your brother was murdered"
The girl nodded firmly, "I must seek justice for my brother."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to the Jingzhao Mansion to beat the drums and complain. If the Jingzhao Mansion doesn't accept it, I'll go to the Imperial Court."
The girl spoke decisively, with a very resolute tone.
Murong Ci walked over and said gently: "It's very touching and admirable for a girl to travel thousands of miles to avenge her brother's grievances. How about I give you some pointers. Do you know Yuwang? The house has a kind heart and loves the people like a son. You might as well sue the royal court, he will definitely go to Dali Temple to try the case of your brother’s unjust death and avenge your brother’s grievances.”
The girl was ecstatic, "It's true that Yu Wang will help me."
Qin Ruo echoed: "Everyone in the capital knows that Yu Wang is a worthy king of the dynasty, fair and strict, and anyone who has a grievance who files a complaint with him will get a fair and just trial."
The girl thanked with a smile, "Thank you two young masters for your guidance."
Murong Ci said again: "You dragged the coffin and knelt in front of the Yuwang Mansion. A piece of white paper was pasted on the coffin with a big word written: Injustice, and you also covered your forehead with a white cloth, which said injustice. Then you knelt Shouting: I implore Yu Wang to avenge the grievances of Minnv’s elder brother. You can think about what to shout specifically.”
"If someone chases you away, you won't leave, just kneel down until Yu Wang comes out." Qin Ruo said earnestly, the more she thought about it, the more amusing she became.
"Girl, go quickly." Murong Ci encouraged.
"Thank you two sons."
The girl hurriedly pulled the ox cart and walked to Yuwangfu.
Murong Ci and Qin Ruo laughed, and Qin Ruo asked in a low voice, "Why did Your Highness let that girl go to Yuwang Mansion?"
"He's too idle, I must find something for him."
"But the prince will definitely hand over this matter to Dali Temple for investigation."
"Isn't that just right? Anyway, Dali Temple is not busy recently."
Murong Ci thought about Murong Yu's expression when he heard someone shouting for grievances at the gate and accompanied by a coffin, it must be very interesting.
Thinking of this, she felt less hungry, and took Qin Ruo to the Yuwang Mansion.
Outside Yuwang Mansion, they hid in the corner and looked towards the door. The girl in white coarse cloth was really kneeling at the door, with a white cloth tied on her forehead, and there was a big word on the coffin: Injustice.
The girl raised her throat and shouted: "The daughter of the people, Lin Yu, begged to see Yu Wang, please ask Yu Wang to avenge his brother, please ask Yu Wang to avenge his brother"
She yelled over and over again, and the guards at the door didn't want to pay attention, but she yelled tirelessly, and they were tired of hearing it.
A guard came over and said, "Girl, if you want to avenge your relatives, go to Jingzhao Mansion. This is not the place to avenge your grievances."
"Brother, please do me a favor and inform Yu Wang that I have a great grievance to report to Yu Wang." The girl said sadly.
"Your lord, you can see him whenever you want. Besides, the lord doesn't care about such things as unjust cases. If you want to avenge your grievances, you can go to Jingzhao Mansion or Dali Temple."
"No, I'm going to see Yu Wang."
"Why are you leaving quickly, or I will be rude"
"Brother, just take pity on me, I will kneel here today, and I will keep kneeling when Yu Wang sees me." The girl said firmly.
"Oh, my big girl, why can't you understand me?" The guard was anxious, "If you don't leave, I will drive you away."
"You hit me and hurt me
, I will not go. If you dare to hurt me, I will sue you together." She raised her head stubbornly.
He was so angry, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Although Yu Wang's power is all over the court, Yu Wang's control is extremely strict. If he beats someone today, this job will definitely not be guaranteed.
The girl was about to yell loudly, but the guard confessed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll report to you."
She was very happy, but soon her eyes dimmed, she looked at the coffin and said, "Brother, I will definitely avenge you."
In fact, the people in the mansion heard her shout, and Steward Lin went to report to the prince after hearing the servant's report.
Murong Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said: "Send someone to take that girl to Dali Temple, pass on the king's words to Dali Temple, and investigate carefully."
How could a girl from other places know to come to his palace to seek justice
Is there any expert advice
He summoned the ghost, gave some orders, the ghost flew up to the roof, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Not long after, the ghost came back and replied, "My lord, my subordinates saw His Royal Highness leave in a hurry."
Murong Yu waved his hand and curled his lips, it was indeed her.
One day later, Murong Ci sent someone to Dali Temple to ask Shen Zhiyan to come to the East Palace.
Shen Zhiyan arrived after noon, sweating slightly, Ruyi quickly handed him a cloth towel to wipe off his sweat, and then offered him a bowl of chilled mung bean soup. The icy breath came out and fanned to the master.
He drank a bowl of mung bean soup and immediately felt refreshed. With a smile like a spring breeze, he took a small lupine fan from the maid and kept fanning it.
"His Royal Highness sent me, there is something important"
"I heard that Dali Temple took over a strange murder case, I would like to know more about it." Murong Ci asked leisurely.
"Your Highness is really well informed." Shen Zhiyan laughed.
"Master Shen, tell me quickly, His Highness and servants are all curious." Qin Ruo urged with a smile.
"It's like this. A girl came to the capital from Yizhou with her brother's body all the way, just to avenge her brother." Shen Zhiyan said, "This girl is eighteen years old and her name is Lin Yu. Her elder brother Lin Shu brought her up. The parents of the siblings died early and they depended on each other. Lin Shu studied hard for ten years and was very talented. He was a young talent with profound knowledge and kind heart in the local area. teach children at home and charge a little money."
"Then how did he die?" Ruyi asked.
"Lin Yu's sister was raped, she went to accompany and comfort her, and stayed at her sister's house for a few days. Lin Yu returned home and found that his brother died at home, distraught." He continued.
"How did Lin Shu die?" Qin Ruo asked.
"The deceased Lin Shu has been dead for three months, but Lin Yu used lime to preserve the body, so the body is not badly decomposed." Shen Zhiyan said elegantly and gently, "I had an autopsy yesterday, and Lin Shu had only one fatal injury , a sword was stabbed in the heart, and a lot of blood was shed."
"The deceased was pierced by a long sword to death, the murderer should be a person with martial arts." Murong Ci frowned slightly.
"I think so too." He lifted his robe and sat down, drank half a cup of tea, "Master Gu entrusted me to investigate this murder case."
"Then why did Lin Yu go to Beijing to sue?" Qin Ruo asked puzzled.
"That's what I'm going to say next." Shen Zhi said with a smile like the wind, "Brothers and sisters Lin Shu have a kind heart and get along well with their neighbors and neighbors. For months, he met a young and beautiful girl by chance. The two agreed in love, and soon they made a private appointment for life, and gave each other tokens of love."
"Later, this girl changed her mind," Murong Ci speculated.
"That's right, this girl is from the capital. The mansion is in business. She has a rich family. She is a daughter of a thousand gold. She took her maid to Yizhou to play and relax, but she didn't expect to meet a talented young man. This girl Claiming that her parents have already set an in-law for her, she cannot marry Lin Shu, and she will return to Beijing soon." He talked like a storyteller, "Unexpectedly, Lin Shu's love is deeply rooted, so I beg her not to leave , Said that he would take the scientific examination, seek fame, and marry her in a grand manner in the future. However, this girl is as hard as iron, and insists on returning to Beijing, slashing her love with a knife."
"Mr. Lin is such an infatuated person, that girl is too hard-hearted. Has Lin Yu seen that girl?" Qin Ruo sighed for Mr. Lin's affection.
"I haven't seen it before. Lin Yu just heard her brother say these things briefly." Shen Zhiyan sighed, "She didn't know that her brother was hurt so deeply by that girl, otherwise she wouldn't leave home to accompany her sister. She said she When she left home, Lin Shu was depressed and unable to do anything. At that time, she was in a hurry to go out, so she didn't ask a few more questions. She didn't expect that when she came back."
"Lin Yu thinks that girl killed her brother" Murong Ci felt that the murder case was not very complicated.
He nodded, "She concluded that the girl was the murderer of her brother. After the incident, she immediately went to report to the police, and the local magistrate accepted the murder case, but searched the entire city of Yizhou, but could not find the girl .”
She asked again, "What's the girl's name?"
Shen Zhiyan said: "Lin Yu doesn't know the girl's name, only Rong."
