Six years after the suspended animation, the father of the cub caught up with him

Chapter 208 Time Scene
"Shi Jing, what do you mean?"

Chu Baihan questioned the man in front of him in a cold voice.

He was wearing black armor, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a serious expression.

He is the great general of the Nanduan Kingdom, the son of the late Shi Zhonghou.

23 years ago, Shi Zhonghou died in battle. After the bad news came back, his wife was too sad and passed away.

In the huge Hou's mansion, people go to drink tea, and only Shi Zhonghou's son-in-law, Shi Jing, is left.

At that time, he was only eight years old.

The royal father originally wanted to adopt him as a foster son, but he refused when he was only eight years old, and lived alone in the Hou Mansion.

Ten years later, with his own efforts, he replaced the plaque at the entrance of the Hou's Mansion and turned it into the General's Mansion.

He didn't rely on the glory of his father's generation at all, but turned from a small soldier into one of the best generals in the Southern Duan Kingdom today. Frankly speaking, she still admires him very much.

However, she couldn't figure out his temperament.

"Eldest princess, I have an order from the county king. If you can't find out the truth, you won't be able to enter this county prince's mansion." Shi Jing said sullenly.

"General Shi, do you dare to stop the princess?"

Nan Xing was very angry, she immediately scolded.

"Princess, please don't embarrass the last general." Shi Jing continued to be serious.

Nan Xing wanted to speak out, but Chu Baihan shook his head at her.

time scene...

A very special man indeed.

Since he is willing to help the county king guard the gate here today, it must not be because of any order.

After all, his military exploits are enough to make her younger brothers, who are rich and rich, see him politely, let alone a county king?
Therefore, he was willing to help King Xiang, probably because Hou Zhong and Prince Xiang had a very good relationship back then.

He is here to help out of nostalgia.

Moreover, he is very stubborn in nature, sometimes... the emperor can't even talk to him.

If it wasn't for pity on his talents, Chu Baihan would want to beat him up now.

Sighing slightly, she said in a serious tone: "Shi Jing, this princess knows that Prince Xiang is very angry now, but this princess must see him and ask some questions clearly before the case can be solved."

But Shi Jing was still indifferent to her words.

"Okay, then the Japanese princess will not enter this door today, but I still invite General Shi to call out all the servants in the mansion. The princess has questions to ask them." Chu Baihan said seriously.

Hearing her words, Shi Jing frowned, seemed to think about it, and finally nodded.

"Princess, please wait a moment."

After speaking, he walked in.

When Chu Baihan saw him entering the mansion, she immediately gave Nan Xing a look.

Nan Xing came to his senses and hurried into the mansion.

"Phew, it's finally here."

At this time, Yan Lian also rushed to the Prince's Mansion with Jiang Yan on horseback.

The two of them walked towards Chu Baihan as soon as they got off their horses.

"Eight... Cough, Eldest Princess, why do you stand at the door instead of going in?" Yan Lian asked suspiciously.

"Someone stopped us, the princess may not be able to enter this door today."

Chu Baihan opened his mouth slowly and said quietly.

"Stop you? Who is so courageous to stop you?" Yan Lian rolled up her sleeves as soon as she heard this, feeling like she was going to fight.

Tang Yu couldn't help but say at this time: "Princess, there are many of them, and there are also many of us. I'll open the way for you."

"Calm down, all of you. My princess didn't forcefully break into the county palace, not because I was afraid, but because I didn't want to complicate this matter. Also, today's Xiangjun...is really a bit weird. If this princess If you try to force your way in, I'm afraid you will startle the snake."

When saying these words, Chu Baihan's eyes flashed a bit cold.

"King Xiang is a little weird? I heard that he doted on Xiang Zhang very much. Now that Xiang Zhang is dead, it shouldn't be surprising that he behaved excessively." Tang Yu murmured in a low voice.

"King Xiangjun dotes on Xiang Zhang, but he is not an idiot. After Xiang Zhang died, he should want to know who the murderer is. If he suspects the princess, he should let the princess in, just like he will Sending the corpse to the gate of the princess mansion is like pressing the princess every step of the way. Instead of shutting the princess out like now."

Chu Baihan explained in a cold voice.

What Xiang Junwang did seems to be the behavior of a father who was extremely sad.

But when I think about it, I feel that everything is wrong.

At this moment, Shi Jing walked out with nearly a hundred servants.

So many people almost filled the gate of the county palace.

Chu Baihan made them stand in several rows, and then asked in a cold voice, "Who first discovered that your son committed suicide?"

"Yes, it's a slave."

At this time, a little girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old came out, and she answered tremblingly.

"How did you find out?" Chu Baihan walked towards her and asked seriously.

"Since, since the son was injured, he was unwilling to eat with the king, so the servants brought the meals to his room. The servants carried the meals to the door as usual, and called the prince a few times. But he didn't answer. The servant thought he was asleep, so he opened the door and went in, who would have seen..."

Having said this, the maidservant knelt down crying.

"Don't be nervous, this princess doesn't want to condemn you for anything."

Chu Baihan spoke softly, and then helped her up.

"Tell me, princess, was your son still breathing at that time?"

"My servant didn't know, my servant saw Shizi hanged himself, and my servant was flustered, so I went to call for someone..."

"It was the old slave who heard the movement and led people to rush there. If the princess wants to ask anything, just ask the old slave."

At this time, Xiang Yun, the housekeeper of Xiangfu, came out.

There was still a lingering sense of sadness on his face, presumably the death of Xiang Zhang had also deeply affected him.

"As for the question the princess asked just now... the old slave saw that Shizi had hanged himself, so he quickly hugged him down, but he was already out of breath at that time, and when the government doctor came later, he also said that he was unable to recover."

He shook his head, choked up.

"Could it be that the princess thinks that we are deceiving you, you can ask the government doctor to come and testify."

"Housekeeper Xiang, do you know what are the distinguishing features of your sons? It is the kind of bones that can be recognized even if the body is gone." Chu Baihan said again.

"Princess, what do you mean? Could it be that there is something wrong with our son's body?"

Xiang Yun's face changed suddenly, and he asked nervously.

"Just answer the princess's questions to the housekeeper." Chu Baihan said sharply.

Xiang Yun could only frown and think.

After a long time, he shook his head: "Princess please forgive me, this old servant has watched Shizi grow up since he was a child, but if you want to talk about these characteristics, Shizi doesn't have it."

"Okay, the princess has nothing to ask."

Chu Baihan quickly withdrew his gaze.

Since she couldn't get anything out of him, there was no need for her to continue asking.

She slowly walked past all the maidservants...

"Jiang Mo, did you see that hair when you were in the Ministry of Punishment?" She suddenly turned around and asked Jiang Mo.

"I've seen it." Jiang Yu quickly replied.
