Dayong Nu sentenced to death

"It's not good, it's not good, son!"

This exclamation made the entire Taolin quiet in an instant, everyone looked at the young man running towards him without knowing why, Lu Heng smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes and said: "What's the panic, didn't you see the guest? "

"The slave is guilty."

The young servant hurriedly corrected his posture, greeted everyone around him, and then said loudly: "A dead man was found in Shannan, and he was just rescued by Tanhua Lang and the others. I ordered this slave to ask your son for instructions, and he must immediately send someone back to the city to report to Jingzhao Mansion."

"dead?"

There was an uproar in the room.

Lu Heng sat up slightly, and waved his hands to the side, "Go, please come over, Mr. Gai."

"I obey."

Immediately someone was ordered to go away, everyone was discussing, and the turmoil was hard to calm down. Seeing this scene, Su Rao stood up and said to Lu Heng: "It will take some time for Jingzhao Mansion to arrive, let me go and have a look first."

"Let's go too."

After such a thing happened at the banquet, who would want to sit here drinking tea and wine, gossiping and admiring the flowers?

So most of the people present got up accordingly.

Lu Heng thought for a moment, looked at Su Rao, then looked at Yan Yun and said, "That's fine, why don't we go and see them all together."

A supervisory order and a minister of Dali Temple were present.

What's the point of doing nothing and waiting for someone.

Yan Yun had no objection, "Okay."

Led by the servants, the group headed for Qingbo Pavilion in the south of the mountain, which is more than 100 meters away from the peach forest, in the shade of the mountain.

It was originally used for the convenience of pedestrians on the journey.

Later, this official road was abandoned, and few people passed by, so the government stepped in to repair it, and it became a place to enjoy the scenery.

When they arrived, the front of the pavilion was still noisy.

Everyone gathered in a pile, unable to see the situation clearly.

"Shizi Yan has arrived."

Someone from the periphery was the first to notice them and yelled loudly, and everyone immediately turned around and unconsciously moved out of the way.

Su Rao stopped Yan Yun, her keen sense of smell followed the wind, and she already smelled the familiar stench of corpses.

"My lord, let me go first."

She is very well measured, the distance is neither distant nor close, so that no one can have other thoughts after seeing it.

Yan Yun knew that she wanted to examine the corpse, and this matter was always handled by the yamen's assistant, and he couldn't help even if he stood in front.

"it is good."

He took a step back, out of the way.

Facing everyone's scrutinizing eyes, Su Rao walked to the edge of the pavilion, which was slightly higher than the river bank, and there was a dead body lying on the river bank below, with the upper body lying in the wet mud and the lower body immersed in the water, with a pole hanging beside it. A long bamboo pole, the end of which rested at Su Rao's feet.

It seems that it was folded from the bamboo bushes beside the pavilion in a hurry.

Su Rao was not in a hurry to go down, and looked around. The river was not wide, and it was formed by the convergence of two streams. One stream winds around the mountains and is the main river. Drip down and gather in front.

"Clarify the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body."

Yan Yun spoke quietly.

Among this group of Jinshi, the most valuable is Du Shu, who is second in the list, so he naturally replied, "My lord, I will hold a banquet by the side of the stream, recite poems and compose poems, and after drinking for half an hour, I decided to get up for a break. Together we went back to Qingbo Pavilion."

"At that time, the body was found floating in the river. After stopping it with a bamboo pole, it was pulled to the bank, and then someone was sent to spread the word."

"After that, you'll be there."

So, they don't know when the body appeared?

"You guys will start having a banquet and drink by the stream then?"

"Yes."

So the body was not there at that time, but floated here half an hour later.

Lu Heng quickly opened the folding fan, lightly covered the tip of his nose and said: "Smell this smell, people have been dead for a while, the water flow here is gentle, the water level is not deep, there are mostly stones and sand underneath, it will take less than half an hour It's not easy to float here from the interchange."

He snorted with a half-smile.

"I've heard of sending gifts for thousands of miles, but I haven't heard of sending corpses. It's interesting to pick a time when my Lu family has a banquet."

The people present suddenly felt a chill run up their spines.

"Who would kill someone and throw it in such a conspicuous place... Isn't this asking for trouble?"

"That's right, this murderer is perverted enough."

"Maybe he just wanted to attract attention?"

Du Shu frowned and said, "There are so many of us here, there's no way the murderer can't find out..."

Everyone whispered to each other, talking about their own guesses.

Yan Yun and Lu Heng stood behind Su Rao, listening quietly, but did not speak again.

Su Rao jumped off the river bank, stepped on the wet mud to the side of the corpse, broke the bamboo pole, and turned the corpse over.

Put him in a supine position.

In this way, his true face was exposed in front of everyone, and the moment Su Rao saw it clearly, her pupils shrank suddenly.

"Isn't this the Taixue student... Well, it seems to be Li Cheng!"

Someone exclaimed.

What he said awakened the memory of other people. Suzaku Gate knelt down to Li Cheng as the leader, causing such a big commotion, and this name was spread wildly in Shengjing City for a long time.

"How did he become like this?"

"Look at the empty eye sockets, and the face is covered with blood..."

Listening to those words, Su Rao simply glanced at the corpse, the death was indeed miserable, her eyes were gouged out, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding...

She knelt down, ready to open his mouth with her hands...

"Wait a minute."

Seeing her movement, Yan Yun immediately stopped her, then took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, poured some internal energy and flew towards her: "Use this to block."

Su Rao raised her hand to take it, thanked her, and continued her movements without changing her face.

Looking at this scene, Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Yan Heqing, don't you never allow others to touch your things? How can you be willing today?"

"A handkerchief, just use it and throw it away."

Yan Yun looked indifferent, "Compared to this, her hands are more valuable, aren't they?"

"Yes."

Lu Heng replied angrily, "You said that the eldest son really deserves the reputation of being cold-faced and stone-hearted. In the past, Tianxiang Lake, you changed your normal routine to save her, and it was for this value?"

"Why not?"

There was no emotion in Yan Yun's eyes, "A talented and beautiful woman like her is exactly what the court needs. Now that I have met her, I can't stand by and watch."

"Okay, okay, you are noble."

Lu Heng shook his head again and again, his eyes quickly wiped away his emotions, and then was covered up by a smile, "That's fine, if you don't feel bad, others will love you."

"Who are you talking about?"

Yan Yun looked sideways, "You?"

"Can't you?"

Lu Heng's folding fan shook lightly, with a coquettish posture, Yan Yun pulled the corner of his lower lip unobtrusively when he saw this, and said lightly: "Of course, it's just that brother Lu passed through thousands of flowers, there are too many people who feel distressed, how many If you get sick, you have to be careful."

Hearing this, Lu Heng laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I will definitely walk behind you."

"I hope so."
