Chapter 48 Someone died at the inn
Cui Ti frowned, Shen Ru was scolding her!
"Shen Ru, I kindly remind you why you said that about me."

Shen Ru sneered: "Miss Cui, because you put your malicious speculation on me for no reason, I just said a few words to you and it's already good that I didn't hit you!"

After saying this, Shen Ruye didn't want to say anything more to Cui Ti and walked away.

Cui Ti looked sulky, she was really kindly reminding her.

It is expected that Shen Ru, who was originally the proud daughter of heaven, has suffered a big change, and her temperament may also have changed.

If you couldn't accept the current situation, why would you pay a lot of money to bribe officials?She must be reluctant to live in fine clothes and fine food!

Cui Ti was also surprised when she saw Shen Ru leave and the same man from Yi Cheng walked into the room where Shen Ru came out.

The Yi Cheng looks so awe-inspiring, is a high-ranking member of the imperial court living here?

Where did the Shen family get the confidence to treat exile as a child's play?
Although Shen Ru was angry with Cui Ti for what she said, she felt that there was no need to vent her anger on irrelevant people, so she happily returned to her family.

Heavy snow blocked the way forward again, and the exile team stayed at the inn together with the governor in the guest room.

Shen Ru kept a low profile and ate the meals arranged by the station together with the others.

Knowing that there were still people watching her in this inn, it was even less possible for her to play around in the snow like before.

"Aru, aren't you happy?"

Seeing Shen Ru's quiet look, Shen's mother said worriedly.

"Mom, it's cold outside. I don't want to go out."

Shen Ru made an excuse and said that as for the high-ranking official in the guest room, she didn't want to scare her parents.

The next afternoon, another group of people came to stay at the inn. It was so windy and snowy that they couldn't walk at all.

The next morning, Shen Ru came out to get some air, and suddenly heard a shouting, and saw the postman running out in panic.

"Someone is dead. There is a dead person in the guest room."

Immediately, the elements of Bagua started rolling in Shen Ru's body.

"Who, who died?"

Chen Qing and other officials all stayed in the guest room, as well as the senior official, so it was unlikely that anything happened to one of them!
Shen Ru followed Yi Cheng who was rushing over, wanting to see what happened.

"It's Cao Tongpan, who just checked in last night."

Upon seeing Yi Cheng, the Yi soldiers immediately reported the matter.

"Shen Ru?" Chen Qing and others arrived and were a little surprised to see Shen Ru.

"Oh, I heard someone shouting about the dead man, so I came over to take a look."

Shen Ru stuck his head and said directly.

"It's better to do less than to do more, don't you understand?"

Chen Qing looked at Shen Ru and thought about the official errand that was broken in Shen Ru's hands before, and he was inevitably a little suspicious!
"Where is the postmaster? Lord Tongpan was resting at your posthouse last night, but was assassinated. What explanation can you give?"

There were four other people who came with the deceased. At this moment, they were scolding Yi Cheng.

"Then... report to the official?"

Yi Cheng could only tolerate being scolded so much that he got an opportunity and spoke weakly.

"Don't go soon!"

The man shouted, then looked around and saw Chen Qing in official uniform and Shen Ru in prison uniform.

"What's going on? Can prisoners move around?"

Chen Qing glared at Shen Ru and then said:
"The official summoned her to come and talk about something. She disturbed a few people from doing their work. The official will take them away right now."

"Wait a minute, this female prisoner is quite pretty and has a name for herself."

Shen Ru's heart sank and he couldn't help but raise his head to face the person who spoke.

The man looked so vulgar, it made her want to vomit.

"Our Lord has been assassinated. Everyone in the inn must stay. From now on, no one is allowed to leave the inn."

Then I heard that wretched man speak.Chen Qing immediately agreed, but he did not dare to conceal Shen Ru's identity.

"This prisoner is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family of the Marquis of Anguo."

"I will escort her back immediately."

"If nothing else, there are quite a few women in this inn. I don't know where the woman with the red mole at the corner of her eye I saw yesterday is."

Shen Ru left with Chen Qing, but also heard what those people said.

There is a red mole at the corner of the eye. Isn’t it Cui Ti?

By the way, this was a life-threatening incident, why didn’t Cui Ti come out to take a look?

Shen Rushi learned from Uncle Fu at noon that Cui Ti and his party seemed to have left early in the morning.

gone?Why leave?

"I also asked the old slave to tell the eldest lady that the old lady and young master from Prince Jing's Mansion will help take them along. They will meet up with the team after they leave the boundary of Wangchuan City."

Shen Ru's heart skipped a beat and then asked Uncle Fu:

"Did you hear anything last night?"

"That's not the group of people who arrived at the inn yesterday. They are the general magistrate of Wangchuan City and his subordinates."

Uncle Fu replied, "When the judge saw the Cui girl, he was like a cat seeing a fish. At night, he heard the knock on Miss Cui's door."

Although Fu Bo didn't explain, Shen Ru had speculation in his mind.

I'm afraid it wasn't the general judge who flirted with Cui Ti, was killed by Cui Ti's guards, and then ran away!

Regarding this matter...it's better not to get into troubled waters.

The road was blocked by heavy snow, and she didn't know how Cui Ti walked, but Yi Cheng couldn't find any way to ask for an official, so she finally thought of Xiao Wujin, the high-ranking official in the guest room of the post station.

"Are you saying that Wangchuan City Judge Cao Xian died at the inn?"

Xiao Wujin was also a little shocked when he learned that the person who died was a city-wide judge.

"I am the governor of Liangzhou, and I cannot take charge of matters concerning Wangchuan City."

"Sir, Cao Tongpan and his group are very arrogant, and there is no way to go out to find the Yamen people now..."

The postmaster was very distressed, "He also said that the murderer could not be found and no one in the post could leave."

"Sir, although the road is blocked by heavy snow, there will always be a time when the snow melts, and then no one will be able to walk..."

"Luneng, go and have a look."

Xiao Wujin still didn't plan to come forward on his own, and only gave orders to his subordinates.

Seeing this, Yi Cheng had no choice but to retreat first and took Luneng to see Cao Tongpan's people.

"If something happens to you, sir, all of us will be punished by Master Zhizhou later. I don't know who killed Master Cao."

"It's okay to just wait. How many young women are there in the exile team? Do you want to have some fun?"

"I heard that these are the family members of the royal palace, the prince's palace, and even the first-rank officials. I really want to have a taste of these noble ladies from the past!"

When Luneng and Yi Cheng arrived, they heard a lot of filthy words inside.

Yi Cheng was about to knock on the door, but Luneng stopped him. He wanted to hear what else he could say.

"The woman with the red mole at the corner of her eye last night was extremely beautiful, but she seems to be no longer at the inn."

"I think that Shen, the former legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion, is pretty good. I'll ask the escorting officer to bring her over later."

When Luneng heard this, he opened the door directly and went in.

"My lord is the governor of Liangzhou. Hearing that a murder occurred here, he specially ordered his subordinates to come and check."

Luneng's appearance interrupted the words of several people in the room. Everyone looked at Luneng, and then one of them calmed down and said:
"Liangzhou Governor? Master Xiao is also at this inn?"
