Wish Junshou and Tianqi

Chapter 24 Yichun Elegant Collection Begins

A notice was posted on the street west of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and everyone gathered around and discussed in low voices.

"I just said that His Majesty is proficient in equestrianism and is invincible, how could he fall off the horse?"

"I heard that the disaster of the imperial concubine's Qianqiu Banquet last night was also caused by him. No wonder, those nobles left the palace early. I didn't expect that there would be a spy from the north in the palace!"

"Your Majesty is unconscious, those northerners are really shameless!"

"That's right... who is it?"

"It's more than that. I heard that many officials and maids in the palace have suffered. It's no wonder that the Procuratorate is so ruthless this time, and directly displayed this detail as a dead body."

"Display the corpse? Where is it?"

"Isn't there a field next to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, where it was haunted before?"

"Haunted place? I wanted to watch the fun, forget it, and go home to pick up the children."

Soon the crowd dispersed, and a new wave rushed forward, discussing a lot.

Chu Shou and his carriage stopped in front of the bulletin board. She raised the curtain and squinted her eyes, pursing her lips slightly: "Northern secret work?"Is the Metropolitan Procuratorate really going to close the case so hastily?
"Hey, the greeting card from Yichunju, I just heard that this elegant gathering can be accompanied by a group. The noble ladies of the capital are eyeing this lord of the capital censor. Fortunately, you two have an old relationship, so don't let others get ahead of you. " Su Tiying stuffed the greeting card into Chu Shou's hands, and said seriously.

Chu Shou lowered his eyes, looked at the exquisite greeting card in his hand, and said softly: "He may not be willing to go."

"Isn't the atmosphere pretty good after falling into the water yesterday, if you like it, you have to chase after it!"

"Well, what you said makes sense!" Chu Shou nodded emphatically, his heart ablaze with recklessness, he got up, lifted the curtain heavily and got out of the carriage, looking at the dark and cold plaque in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he staggered backwards After a few steps, he supported the carriage and patted: "..."

"Go!" Su Tiying poked her head out, pulled Chu Shou's hand away, and said solemnly, "Go!"

Chu Shou looked distressed, lowered his head and straightened his robe, the green clothes still in place, took a deep breath, and walked towards the Metropolitan Procuratorate with heavy steps.

Before reaching the short steps at the entrance, the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was opened, and two hidden guards at the front and rear carried a wooden plank, which was a tool specially used for carrying corpses. Enter and exit through the main entrance, but very few prisoners left the Metropolitan Procuratorate alive.

Next to him was a foreman, with a square wooden box on his shoulder, with a serious look on his face. These hidden guards were well-trained, and they acted neatly, so that Chu Shou, who was standing in front of the door, quickly passed by.

The corpse was covered with a white cloth, and as it moved, it fluttered slightly in the wind, and a strip of green cloth that had been stained with blood fell down with the wind, which was particularly conspicuous.

Chu Shou's eyes followed their figures, and after passing by, she came to her senses, and immediately turned around and said, "Wait!"

The three of them stopped in their tracks, and the one who was in a hurry raised his eyes to take a closer look, and immediately bowed and said: "Young legal official Zuo Ci has seen Princess Ruchuan."

Chu Shou waved his hand, looked worriedly at the white cloth in his eyes, turned his eyes and asked, "Who is this?"

Zuo Ci paid homage again, and replied respectfully: "This woman's surname is Zhao. Her body was found in the West Street warehouse last night. She died of poison. Before she was alive, she was severely beaten in the abdomen. The arrow wound on the shoulder was removed, and her neck was cut. Injuries and multiple fractures and contusions, but... the small autopsy still has a few unknown places, so I want to go to the place where the incident happened."

"Since the cause of death has been determined, what else is wrong?"

"Returning to the princess, this case was reported to the officials by the people nearby, and it has been registered in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate is one step ahead, it is still a case of our Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Naturally, the truth must be revealed, otherwise I will not be able to record it here." Zuo Ci stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

"Well, that's right. Mr. Xu doesn't like unsolved cases the least. It seems that you helped me describe the trouble I caused when I was young."

"Don't dare to dare, the young one is also following orders, and in the future I will have to ask the princess to assist me in deciding the case." Zuo Ci waved his hand to evade, and smiled sideways to glance at the corpse covered in white cloth, meaning something.

The dancer's identity is unknown, and the corpse can't speak, but the wounds on the corpse are evidence.

Last night at the banquet, it was reported that the dancer was assassinating, and everyone saw Chu Shou shooting with a bow and arrow. It just so happened that such a female corpse with an arrow wound appeared outside the palace. Although the clothes had been replaced, the earrings and necklaces were not as common in Beijing There is no doubt that this person is the dancer who was assassinated last night.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate hurriedly retrieved the body, all signs were too suspicious...

Chu Shou raised his lips and smiled brightly, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Zuo Ci said seriously: "I won't go around with you anymore, this is the dancer who was going to assassinate the noble concubine in the palace last night, and the arrow wound was left by you, the princess."

After hearing this, Chu Shou laughed out loud, raised his eyebrows and said joyfully, "That's a good thing, the princess is worried that he didn't catch her with his own hands, Mr. Zuo, you have to check it out."

Zuo Ci was still smiling, raised his hand and said: "That's natural."

"Yo? Princess! Why did you come in person? Didn't you agree that our lords would go to the General's Mansion?" Lord Luo Mingluo of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stepped out of the threshold, and quickly walked in front of the two of them, swinging his sleeves. His eyes quickly swept around, and finally fell on Chu Shou, his eyes were full of anticipation.

Chu Shou responded immediately: "It happened to be passing by. The princess is going to Yichun residence tonight, so I don't have time to discuss with you adults."

Luo Ming immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Your presence is what makes us all procuratorate flourish!"

After finishing speaking, seeing Zuo Ci's face darken, seeing his old colleagues in the past, he was extremely jealous, and said coldly: "I said, old man Zuo, why haven't you left yet? This person is given to you, and it's useless to spend two manpower , what else do you want to do? Go, go, go!"

Zuo Ci didn't care about it, and just said with a straight face, "Farewell."

He flicked his sleeve robe, lifted the box on his shoulder, turned around and left without looking back.

Luo Ming laughed a few times with his arms crossed, waved his hands, and taunted Zuo Ci's back loudly: "Walk slowly!"

Then he nodded and bowed again, stretched out his right hand and said, "Princess, please."

Chu Shou glanced at him with a smile, shook his head helplessly, crossed the threshold with his hands behind his back, and entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

When I came in again today, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was still busy, and the staff were in a hurry, as if they didn't want to pay attention to anything except their business.

The two walked all the way, chatting with each other.

"Princess, are you here to find my lord?"

"Exactly."

Chu Shou didn't want to deny it, so he nodded in agreement.

"My lord has said that if you come, you will be well received. Last time it was the ignorant people below us, so we won't delay your business anymore."

Chu Shou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this what your adults said?"

Luo Ming was stunned for a moment, and said with a distressed expression: "Huh? I don't know what you mean..."

"Not sensible... Your lord was so ignorant last time that he would rather avoid seeing this princess."

"Yes, I am too ignorant to be too ignorant. My lord, they have just finished dealing with old man Zuo and they are discussing matters in the main hall. They said they thought you would come and asked me to take you directly to the main hall."

Chu Shou responded, blinked, and continued to pass through several round doors, crossed a long winding corridor sandwiched by the lake, and finally came to the main hall Luo Ming said.

"The next step is to deploy properly. Instead of wasting time on unnecessary things, why not think about how we can coordinate the deployment of the Imperial Army and the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Luo Ming coughed twice on purpose, and the group of people pulled out their spirits from the discussion. They all turned their heads, and that was it. When everyone was praying, Chu Shou went all the way to the upper position, and sat in the seat of Song Yanqing. side.

When he saw that he was coming, there was no disturbance, his left hand rested on the table, and his knuckle fingers tapped lightly one after another.

But he acted as if he knew it in advance, but also, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has good ears and eyes, and no one knows what he is doing...

After sitting down, he realized that apart from Qin Wuhui, Shen Yike and Mu Huashu, there was also a man in purple robe standing with his hands behind his hands, his eyes lowered.

Shen Yike turned to Song Yanqing and said: "The princess is here, but the princess and the adults have already made an agreement, and they want to discuss the deployment of the forbidden army?"

Chu Shou raised his eyes, put his hand lightly on the table beside him, and said, "Deployment? Hasn't Mr. Song already shown the assassin to the public? How else do we need to deploy it skillfully?"

"The situation of the Forbidden Army and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is different. Before the Princess returned, it was because the two families had not communicated with each other, which caused some irreversible mistakes. If not, the Princess came here to..." Mu Huashu stepped forward and responded softly, with a gentle but firm tone.

"My princess came here today for the secret work in the northern border. I want to ask more questions. What is the capital procuratorate's hasty conviction?" Chu Shou replied with a smile, looking at Song Yanqing who was sitting beside him from the corner of his eyes , he was calm, turning a small cup of tea in his hand, rubbing the wall of the teacup with his fingertips, feeling the warmth of the tea.

Hearing Chu Shou's question, Song Yanqing opened his mouth, gently put down the teacup, turned his eyes, and said without doubt: "That's what we found."

Not to be outdone, Chu Shou asked coldly, "Where's the evidence?"

Designating this centipede as an assassin in the northern border is nothing more than trying to excuse the real behind-the-scenes instigator. The crime of rebellion, but this eagerness to move has already grown, why didn't Song Yanqing choose to follow the vine to continue the investigation?

Thinking of this, Chu Shou couldn't help feeling angry. The Metropolitan Procuratorate didn't follow her plan every step of the way, and this overly cheerful direction made her feel powerless and anxious.

"Please don't extend your hands too far, the Princess. If Commander Wei of the Imperial Army hadn't been negligent, this matter wouldn't have caused such a big fuss." The man in purple stared at Chu Shou with a dark look, and said in a deep voice.

Chu Shou turned to look at him with interest, his eyes brightened, and he asked curiously, "Who are you?"

"I'm at Ye Fanfei, the Deputy Office of the Lower Metropolitan Procuratorate." Ye Fanfei only nodded slightly, unwilling to make a salute, and said hello as he declared his name with a cold face.

Chu Shou sneered, twisted his wrist, squinted his eyes and asked: "This lord is good at using the imperial army as an excuse. Didn't you come last night? I was caught by the princess. It's too long to ask about the assassin's news." ?"

Ye Fanfei, on the other hand, acted daringly and dared not speak up, and lowered his eyes obstinately.

Qin Wuhui waved his fan, smiled brightly, his gaze wandered over everyone like a fox, and said roundly: "Forgive me, Princess, if you insist on finding out who is behind it, I'm afraid Ming Qi will be in civil turmoil."

Chu Shou snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Qin has a good idea to expose the so-called Northern Territory's fine corpses to the public, and blatantly slaps the Northern Territory in the face. Can you think about the safety of the people in the Northern Territory?"

"Originally, His Majesty was ill, and the Northern Territory was staring at it. The Metropolitan Procuratorate insisted on giving the Northern Territory a reason for the war. What is the intention? Or is the Metropolitan Procuratorate already able to exercise the power of war for His Majesty?"

That Ye Fanfei couldn't help getting up again, and hurriedly said: "The princess is in a high position, and it is easy to say or do anything, so naturally he doesn't understand the difficulties of us ordinary people."

The words were so sincere that Chu Shou almost thought that he had exploited him before...

"Did Lord Ye drink too much wine? Please be careful." Shen Yike looked at his own lord, although he was speechless, his eyes were cold. Ye Fanfei's words were completely in the adult's minefield, and he was fighting with his lips. The target was still the princess, so he looked at Ye Fanfei coldly, and watched him speak cautiously with a straight face.

Who knows that Ye Fanfei did not understand the warning in Shen Yike's words, and still refused to give in: "Master Shen is really a noble person who forgets things..."

When Chu Shou heard this familiar beginning, he became curious, what was the old thing he said?When I was waiting to continue listening, I was stopped by Shengsheng.

"Aye, isn't there still a case to be handled by the Department?" Mu Huashu looked at him firmly, and his eyes signaled him not to say too much. Instead of saying that there are too many mistakes, it is better to get out of here quickly while taking advantage of face. .

When Ye Fanfei heard that even Mu Huashu was about to stop him, he frowned and complained, "Huashu...why are you so tolerant?"

Chu Shou heard it again, his eyes were a little bright, and the more he talked about it, the more curious he was, and he immediately answered without blinking his eyes: "Forbearance? Miss Mu, when did this princess do something that made you unbearable?" What happened? It’s so terrifying, and you still have to ask this little man to tell you?”

Originally, there was a hint of joking in the words, but it made Mu Huashu burst into tears, and lowered his brows, as if he had been wronged by the sky, but what Chu Shou said was the truth, how could it be so? There was a feeling of molesting a good woman in broad daylight, and Ye Fanfei's angry eyes made Chu Shou mistakenly think that he was about to fly up, and his elbow would distort her face...

"Enough." Song Yanqing finally spoke, but without raising his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Go down first."

That Ye Fanfei still wanted to persuade him, he frowned and called "Master" softly, making a gesture to stop him.

As Chu Shou watched, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. He really felt that she had done something stupid to this group of people one by one to make them so miserable that they couldn't tell...
