At the door of Liang's house, Wen Qingzhu and Lei Shuo met.
"Qingzhu! Are you okay?" Lei Shuo got off his horse and walked over immediately. She also heard that Wen Qingzhu disappeared last night.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Lei Shuo up and down and found that she was basically fine, so he felt relieved: "Let's go see the county leader first!"
The door to the bedroom is closed.
Qinghu was waiting at the door anxiously. When he saw Wen Qingzhu and the others coming, he immediately said: "Mrs. Fu, Miss Lei, please persuade the county master!"
"What's wrong?" Wen Qingzhu quickly walked to the door and knocked on the door, but there was no reply.
"After the county master woke up, he kicked all the slaves out, and the eldest princess couldn't get in! From last night to now, the county master didn't eat or drink. She was frightened and injured before. The slave is worried that if this continues, the county master The Lord’s body will get worse and worse!”
Qinghu's tears kept falling down, and his eyes seemed to be swollen.
It looked like she had been crying all night.
Lei Shuo thought for a while and said, "Pingshu, I'm back!"
Hearing Lei Shuo's voice, footsteps came from inside the house, and the door suddenly opened. Liang Pingshu was wearing plain white pajamas, her black hair was disheveled, and her face showed no color.
The moment she saw Lei Shuo, Liang Pingshu suddenly cried and hugged Lei Shuo: "I'm sorry! It's all me who has caused you trouble!"
"It's okay! Every injustice has its owner! Those people will only be proud of you like this!" Lei Shuo used to think that the matter of seizing the legitimate son would not affect them at all.
Since the last time King Ning tried to propose marriage, this time King Chu directly framed him!
Lei Shuo glanced sideways at Wen Qingzhu next to him. Perhaps only Wen Qingzhu was right from the beginning.
Seeing Lei Shuo like this, Wen Qingzhu felt a little distressed.
They shouldn't have gone through this originally, but it didn't matter whether it was Prince Ning or Prince Chu, he still wouldn't let them go in the end.
"Go in and talk." Wen Qingzhu patted their shoulders.
When he arrived at the house, Qinghu turned to the kitchen.
Lei Shuo poured water for Liang Pingshu and talked about last night's situation: "Do you remember anything? Even a little smell or a sound?"
"I don't remember. The last scene I remember was you being knocked unconscious. I only found out about everything when I heard Mr. Su asking my mother outside the door."
Liang Pingshu had never been so scared before and felt cold all over.
Wen Qingzhu brought the cloak over and covered Liang Pingshu: "Wanbi will make sure everything is perfect. What we have to deal with is that Wanbi is very likely to go back to your majesty to express that the King of Chu is willing to marry the county lord!"
"Wan Bin!" Liang Pingshu's eyes burst out with extremely strong hatred. Her hands gripped the tablecloth with such force that it cracked the thick tablecloth.
Lei Shuo on the other side murmured to himself: "Then who is that man?"
"Which man?" Wen Qingzhu heard Lei Shuo's words.
Lei Shuo hesitated, she didn't want to say it without evidence.
But here, only Wen Qingzhu is the smartest.
"I woke up and saw a man with deep eye sockets, lake blue eyes, very white skin, and a three-dimensional outline. He is not from the Central Plains!"
Lei Shuo said while thinking about it.
Wen Qingzhu was stunned, why does this description sound a bit like Wang Tu
But the overall appearance of the Xiongnu Qiang people is more like what Lei Shuo described.
However, lake blue eyes are indeed rare. According to Wen Qingzhu's understanding, eyes of this color seem to be only found in the royal family of the Xiongnu.
"What color is his hair? Are there wrinkles? Does he look older?" Wen Qingzhu asked immediately.
Lei Shuo shook his head: "Dark hair, no wrinkles, he must be in his twenties."
"Um?"
It's not Wang Tu.
"Do you know him?" Lei Shuo noticed something strange about Wen Qingzhu.
But she could only shake her head: "The person I know is probably not the one you met. He is a bit older. Although he looks like a handsome man, he is at least forty years old and his wrinkles are still very obvious."
"Anyway, he is not from the Central Plains, and his martial arts skills are very high! But one thing is that he speaks fluently in our language!"
This is where Lei Shuo feels strange.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment: "At least he is from the Xiongnu Qiang tribe and cannot escape. It just so happens that Lu Ce is not here. Let's go and ask him then. I can be sure that the person who saved you has nothing to do with Wanbi."
"How do you know it's okay?" Lei Shuo was puzzled.
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "The one who has something to do with Wanbi is the Cangzhou Wu Clan. The Qiang people over there in Dingyuan are guarded by the general who governs the country after all. Wanbi doesn't have that ability!"
"That's right! Before I was thrown into the river by them last night, I vaguely heard them mentioning a Lord Long, who might be the mastermind behind this time!"
Lei Shuo tried his best to recall what happened last night, but he choked on his saliva several times and later fainted.
Who was the man who saved her
Listening to Qingzhu's tone, it seems to be related to the Qiang people.
How dare Qiang people come to a place like the capital!
Really desperate!
The three of them heard the news. Liang Pingshu couldn't remember anything, while Lei Shuo only heard about Master Long.
Not long after, Qinghu brought food over, and after Lei Shuo and Wen Qingzhu's persuasion, she finally started eating.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Qingzhu stood up and went out, quietly asking Qinghu: "Where are the clothes the county master changed into last night?"
"Master Su wanted it, but the eldest princess didn't give it to me, and I don't know where it is." Qinghu was a little embarrassed.
Wen Qingzhu turned his head and glanced at Liang Pingshu in the room, knowing that he couldn't stimulate her at this time.
She waited patiently for the eldest princess to return from the palace.
But before the eldest princess came, Zhou Yi came first.
"Xiaoyi, you're here." Wen Qingzhu stood up and went out to greet her. He looked inside the room and said, "The county master just finished eating and is going to bed now."
Zhou Yi looked inside the room and said hesitantly: "Actually, Brother Su asked me to come over. She wanted me to check the clothes of the county master last night. There may be clues."
"Do you know where the clothes are?" Wen Qingzhu pulled her out.
Zhou Yi nodded.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Then you lead the way. Let's give it a try first."
Within a quarter of an hour, two people appeared at the door of the eldest princess's bedroom.
The gatekeeper was an old nanny who looked serious, but both Wen Qingzhu and Zhou Yi knew that she was the eldest princess's confidant.
"Mammy, please let us go in and take a look. We are here to investigate who killed the county lord."
Mammy said expressionlessly: "Sorry, madam, Miss Zhou, His Highness has ordered that no one can look at those clothes."
Wen Qingzhu also became serious: "Mammy, to tell you the truth, we know who framed the county magistrate, but there is no evidence. The biggest evidence now is most likely on the clothes. Mammy is also looking at the county magistrate. As a grown up, if something like this happens now, grandma must feel very uncomfortable."
"Mrs. Fu, there is no need to say more. Your Highness will make your own decision." Mammy still refused to give in.
Zhou Yi took Wen Qingzhu's hand and said, "Sister Wen, why don't we go find the county chief and talk to him?"
"Can-"
Before the words were spoken, Liang Pingshu's voice came from behind: "Mommy, let them go in."
"County Lord!" When grandma saw Liang Pingshu put on her usual riding clothes, she was so happy that she burst into tears. She quickly walked over and held Liang Pingshu's hand.
Liang Pingshu comforted her mother and looked up at Wen Qingzhu and Zhou Yi: "You go in, the county master will not marry him even if he cannot marry in this life!"
Wen Qingzhu saw the determination in her eyes and felt very sad.
But now is not the time to feel uncomfortable. She and Zhou Yi glanced at each other and walked in.
After finding Liang Pingshu's clothes, Wen Qingzhu and Zhou Yizai looked at them carefully.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Zhou Yi suddenly took one of the cloth strips and looked at the sun.
"What did you find?" Liang Pingshu was supported by Lei Shuo and walked in.
Wen Qingzhu said uncertainly: "I may know what kind of poison the county master was poisoned, but I'm not sure yet."
Zhou Yi, who was next to him, turned around and said, "The county lord's clothes were cut flatly with an extremely sharp blade. Look."
She held the strip of cloth and placed it in front of everyone, and the incision was indeed neat.
If Liang Pingshu was really wearing those clothes at that time, even Lingchi's executioners would not be able to do any harm to the county master.
"County Lord, are you injured?" Zhou Yi asked.
Liang Pingshu felt it for a while, shook her head and said, "There are bruises on the back of the neck and wrists, but there are no wounds on the rest."
"That's right, the person who took action against the county may be a gentleman." Zhou Yi said with great certainty.
For some reason, Wen Qingzhu suddenly thought of Long Zhi.
But didn’t he appear in that Zhuangzi last night
"Xiaoyi, how come you suddenly become as smart as Qingzhu?" Lei Shuo suddenly said with admiration.
Zhou Yi blushed slightly: "When I was free, I read a lot of files with Brother Su. I wanted to understand his life, so I often read cases with him and analyzed the facts of the case, and I learned a lot without knowing it. This time I came here, Brother Su said that the eldest princess has some scruples, but as a woman, I have much less scruples."
Wen Qingzhu looked at Zhou Yi and admired her very much.
The reason why Su Huo is so powerful is because he knew he was going to join the Criminal Department since he was a child, not to mention the former Master Wei Zheng who helped him.
Zhou Yi is really self-taught. After all, because of her status, she doesn't have much time to go out, and what Soho can teach her is limited.
She can become what she is today only because of Zhou Yi's hard work.
"Since we all have our own discoveries, I will go back first. There is someone who may be able to help the county leader, but I am not sure whether he will help us."
Wen Qingzhu had a headache when he thought of Xie Feichen.
After leaving the county lord's yard, Fu Lie happened to come over.
Accompanying him were Mrs. Lei San and Lei Yan who were in a hurry.
"Where's Shuo'er!" Mrs. Lei San asked Wen Qingzhu directly.
"Don't worry, aunt, sister Shuo is staying with the county master inside!" Wen Qingzhu pointed inside.
Lei Yan nodded at her, said goodbye to Fu Lie, and helped Mrs. Lei San in.
"Should I go to the palace now?" Wen Qingzhu knew that Fu Lie must not trust Xie Feichen now.
"You want to see Xie Feichen?" Fu Lie saw through her thoughts at a glance.
Wen Qingzhu looked to the side and explained: "I know he didn't explain clearly last night, but he is such a person and has no bad intentions. He can also help the county leader."
"I'll take you back." Fu Lie only said one sentence.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly raised his head, somewhat in disbelief.
But when he saw Fu Lie's eyes, Wen Qingzhu suddenly didn't dare to look at him.
Fu Lie didn't believe Xie Feichen, but because she believed it, Fu Lie still chose to believe it.
As soon as they arrived at the door of Hou Mansion, they saw Jiang Dejia and Ning Xiu standing at the door.
"Qingzhu, are you okay?" Jiang Dejia was obviously worried about Wen Qingzhu.
"It's okay. Thank you for being the princess." Wen Qingzhu turned to Fu Lie and said, "The princess is here. Maybe there is something going on in the palace. You should accompany the princess first. I will go in first and come out later to meet you."
"Qingzhu!" Jiang Dejia thought Wen Qingzhu had misunderstood.
But Wen Qingzhu just smiled kindly, turned around and walked back into the house.
