Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 4 The Inner Ghost
Close the door again.The house was silent for a moment, only the charcoal fire was crackling.

"Teacher still remembers that I like heat and chill."

Sheng Yang sat down by the charcoal fire, and observed that there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, obviously the fire was lit for himself.

"Your Highness, this is what the subject should remember."

What he said, he wished to frame their relationship between monarch and minister and hang it on the wall, Sheng Yang snorted lightly.

"Oh, is it..."

She rested her chin on the table lazily and stared at him aggressively.

Duan Yuzhi only lowered his head slightly, and didn't meet her eyes. Seeing that she didn't speak for a while, he raised his head again, glanced at her, and found that she was distracted, so he took the initiative to report.

"The relevant witnesses have been interrogated. Your Highness also heard just now that Miss Qin is the shopkeeper she came to find. She took a large sum of money to open a Tianzihao room, and asked the servant to invite Shang Shulang to sit down. There is no one else here. Maybe something was abnormal, and then it was discovered that Miss Qin was killed, and only Shang Shulang was present. If you only look at the testimony, it is already clear."

"It can only be Sheng Feiyu who killed her."

"Yes."

"Teacher also said, if you only look at the testimony."

She put down the hand resting on her chin, and seemed to have regained her composure.

"Indeed, there are still many doubts about this matter. As a female official of the Princess Mansion, where did she get so much money, and why did she come to find Shang Shulang? When did she have an affair with Shang Shulang..."

At this point, he stopped talking and just looked at Sheng Yang.

Sheng Yang realized that he was waiting for his answer, and smiled, "Is the Tai Tuo interrogating me?"

"It doesn't count."

"It's true that she has nowhere to get so much money. Although I dote on her, I wouldn't give that much money to a maidservant."

There was contempt and coldness in her eyes, and Duan Yuzhi's eyes darkened for a moment.

"I have never heard of her having an affair with anyone... I will investigate this matter when I return to the mansion."

Duan Yuzhi didn't reply.

The room was quiet again, Sheng Yang looked at Duan Yuzhi, the last time he had a good conversation with him was six years ago...

The fire crackled again, and she regained her senses and stood up.

"Master Tai Tu, please help Bengong put on a fox fur."

Behind the screen hung a pure white fox fur, which was a birthday gift from the general of Beiguan. It was extremely precious and worth ten thousand taels of gold.

Duan Yuzhi held the fox fur and put it on the honorable Princess Shengyang.

She used the incense she used to, and the smell on her body brought back the memories he suppressed for six years. It circled her shoulders, and the hem of her clothes rubbed against her clothes, making a subtle and ambiguous sound. He hesitated slightly, and he rarely served anyone. When she was young, she used to do these things for Sheng Yang when she was with her.

It's just been a long time since...

After thinking for a moment, he was about to go forward and tie the belt on her. Sheng Yang had already taken the belt and tied it on quickly.

"Your Majesty, please open the door."

Her tone was cold.

Someone opened the door.

"Your Highness."

"Does Taifu Duan have anything else to say to Bengong?"

The voice behind him froze for a moment, "No more. If there is any latest progress in this case, I will report to His Highness."

"it is good!"

Sheng Yang didn't turn his head, and followed the imperial army behind the hem of his skirt.

Shengshang didn't have many children, and they all left the palace early to set up a mansion, and Sheng Yang was the only child raised by his side.

When Sheng Yang was 12 years old, he suffered an accident and suffered from severe insanity. After he got better, it was time for Jiji to go out to establish a mansion. Emperor Zhao was worried that she would live alone outside. After building the mansion, he had no choice but to bear the pain and let go of his love, but he allowed his daughter to visit the palace at any time, and even personally gifted a team of imperial troops to protect the safety of his only daughter.

The Princess Mansion is located on Yongle Street not far from the Imperial Palace. It turns out that this street is called Suiyuan, and Yongle is also the Holy Majesty’s blessing to the princess. Shops and daily necessities are all available, but there are many people coming and going, which is quite lively.This shop was originally chosen by the mansion when the mansion was built, for the convenience of the mansion, but the mansion is not afraid of trouble, the newly picked grapes are transported in a hurry from the north, the rouge and gouache are from the best shops in the south of the Yangtze River, and silk and satin from Suzhou One by one, the tributes from all over the world are always selected by the Holy One.

"Have you heard that Miss Cen had a tryst with the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and died in Wen Yulou?"

"A tryst? No way, I see her serving the princess inseparably every day. Is there still time for a tryst with a man?"

"It's still with the future son-in-law, isn't this a cheap panic?"

"That's right, she's a lowly maid, the princess treats her so well, yet she actually betrays the princess."

"Who knows, maybe they planned to be a concubine first. You think everyone is as stupid as us. What will we do if the princess marries in the future?"

"How could the princess really marry the prince of Zhen Guogong? I heard that the prince is not a good person."

"That's right, no one in this world is worthy of our princess."

When Sheng Yang heard these words in the corner, he didn't take it seriously and went around.

The study room was filled with incense, and the tea was boiling. The first person to be judged was Wen Xin, the close maid.

"Princess, Manager Wen."

Wen Xin is a few years younger than her, and she is the daughter of a nanny who served her when Rong Yue was young. This nanny seems to have died long ago, and her name seems to be... Nanny Gui?

Sheng Yang narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

"You are somewhat similar to your mother."

Xin'er was slightly taken aback, "Your Highness has seen the maidservant's mother, but the maidservant has already forgotten what she looks like..."

"You are poor too."

"Your Highness..."

My heart was moved.

Wen Ming stood behind her and said, "Xin'er, you live with Wen Cen all day, do you know who she has close contacts with?"

When Wen Cen was mentioned, the circles of Xin'er's eyes turned red slightly. She and Wen Cen had been friends for more than ten years since they were young, so it is natural to feel sad for her.

"Back to the manager, Miss Cen is very strict in serving His Highness. She usually talks with her servants in the mansion, and rarely mentions her own affairs... The servant only heard her read a few love poems half a year ago, and casually After making a joke, she readily admitted that she had a crush..."

"And what else was said about this man?"

"No, but the maid once saw a gold pendant hanging around her neck when she was changing clothes, it looks...it doesn't look like we can afford it..."

"What's it like?"

"It's a smiling Maitreya Buddha, yes..." She compared her fingers, then looked at Mr. Wen's, "It's as big as Mr. Wen's thumb, and the servant girl can see it clearly..."

"Your Highness, if you're not passionate about Buddhism, I'm afraid you wouldn't have these things. Your Highness doesn't care about it. How can she get in touch with it?"

"Yes, I didn't know she believed in Buddhism..."

Sheng Yang thought about it, and said:
"The incense in Honglu Temple is at its peak, and now among the royal family and nobles, who doesn't believe in the Buddha for two days."

Wen Ming nodded, taking it down.

"Do you still have contact with others?"

"Back to the manager, the servant girl really can't think of it."

"Then can she go out at night?"

"This... this servant doesn't know..." She shook her head in confusion, "Maybe it's winter, and this servant has been sleeping very deeply these days... I can't hear anything... I was surprised a few days ago. Day or Sister Cen called me..."

Sheng Yang looked at Wen Ming, Wen Ming immediately understood, nodded, and left the house.

"Then what's unusual about her recently?"

"Recently...she's been quite happy, very happy, humming a song when she does everything, I thought she had some kind of happy event, but I didn't expect..."

Tears fell from her eyes.

At this time Wen Ming went and returned, holding the incense burner in the room of the two maids in his hand.

Xin'er quickly wiped away her tears.

"Where did this come from?"

"Return to the manager, this is brought back by Sister Cen. Recently, she burns incense every day, saying that it is... good for her health."

Her heart paused, she had believed Cen'er's words unconditionally before, but now that something like this happened, thinking back to the reason, she felt a little bluffing...

"Your Highness, there is a lot of sandalwood in this incense, which can help sleep."

"what……"

My heart was enlightened, it turned out that I slept well recently because Sister Cen specially lit this incense...

Sheng Yang stared at her stunned, "From now on, you can come to my room to serve me."

"Ah," Xin'er hurriedly knelt down to thank her, "Thank you, Your Highness, Long En."

"You are careful." Wen Ming agreed.

The next one to come in is the corps in the backyard, Wen Wen, who is in charge of disciplining the guards in the mansion on a daily basis, guarding the gates and protecting the safety of the inner courtyard.

"Team Du, is there any abnormality in the guard's duty recently?"

The Du Corps didn't dare to reply for a while, how dare they say that there is nothing abnormal... The big maids in the yard all went out to have private meetings with people in the middle of the night and died outside...

"Team Du?" Sheng Yang frowned displeased.

The Du Corps was so frightened that they quickly lay down on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

"Your Highness, it's the villain's problem. It's the villain's lack of strict management that allows Miss Cen to take advantage of the loophole."

"Just taking advantage of the loophole?"

Wen Wen looked at Wen Ming, he was very serious, with a dark face, completely different from his usual one, he always liked to joke, got along with the people in the house, and Wen Wen often had a good time with each other, like brothers, now he looks like this It was cold and ferocious, and the temperature was terrifying.

"The young one has already listened to Mr. Wen's words, and checked all the gatekeeper's booklets. The books are all records before the curfew. Miss Cen's records of leaving the house have been sorted out by the villain."

He presented the list, and seeing that Manager Wen handed it to the princess with a relaxed expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "The courtyard has been checked again, and there is no small hole that can go out, and it is impossible to climb over the wall. Miss Cen should take advantage of the public Go to seclusion when you go out..."

"Team Du means that someone in your team didn't fulfill their duty and let Cen'er out without keeping a record?"

"This..." Wen Wen looked at Wen Ming, I won't drink with you next time!

"Check the records here one by one to see if the location is true, and if the time of entry and exit is correct."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wen Wen sweated, thinking he was going to ask him again.

Sheng Yang whispered some instructions to Wen Ming.

Wen Ming called a guard at the door and ordered, "Call everyone in your team to the yard."

"Ah... Now? Manager Wen..." The guard looked at his team leader.

Wen Wen said anxiously, "Boss Wen ordered, you still dare to hesitate! Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze!"
