The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Chapter 333: Stay alive
As he spoke, he looked at the chief shopkeeper of Chunxiu Tower suspiciously, "You didn't say anything like this last time."

It was obvious that Po Xi was not a shy person. She spread her hands and the bracelets on her wrists jingled.

"Kaifeng Mansion didn't ask these questions last time."

When I came back last time, the key figure Zheng Dong was not dead, and there was no suspect Yuan Huo, so naturally these names would not be linked together.

This thing is like a nine-link chain. The person behind the scenes first throws a few circles to make you confused, and finally throws a "bridge" to string them together. The purpose is to let people see at a glance that this is Yuan Huo's "Nine Links".

"Yuan Huo's unrequited sweetheart, Lu Yi, and Chunxiu Tower's Su embroidery master Qiuniang, they are both related to Suzhou."

When she heard Wu Jiang talking about Qiuniang, she thought of Lu Yi, so she asked such a question first when they met.

"Have you ever thought about a question? When Yuan Huo discovered the corpse in the alley and was chased by Ma Datian, why did he run away in panic? Wu Jiang said before that Wang Fuyin did not announce it to the public in order not to cause panic. Details of the murder."

"Yuan Huo is from the Palace Front Division. He has been preparing for King Qi's rebellion recently. He may not be paying much attention to this case."

Gu Shinwei paused for a moment and looked at Wu Jiang, "Let's put it this way, if you saw someone being killed in the alley, what would you do?"

Wu Jiang rolled up his sleeves upon hearing this, "Of course I will just roll up my sleeves and catch the murderer."

"Won't you think you are a murderer and then run away with a guilty conscience?"

Wu Jiang shook his head like a rattle, "Why should I feel guilty? I am an official of the imperial court, so I can't explain myself..."

The rest of Wu Jiang's words were stuck in his throat. He looked at Gu Shiwei excitedly, "This is a question I have asked before. I just can't figure out why Yuan Huo ran away? If it wasn't that he had a guilty conscience, why did he run away? ?”

Gu Shiwei gave Wu Jiang a thumbs up, "You see, you are a small promotion official, and you are still relying on the fact that you are an official of the imperial court."

"Who is Yuan Huo? He is the deputy chief inspector in front of the palace. He can go directly to Datian. He is a close official of the emperor. He saw Zheng Dong dead. There was no need to escape. He should help the officials of Kaifeng Mansion to catch the murderer. , this is the normal development of the story.”

"But he ran away... Why on the premise that he is not the murderer?"

When Gu Shiwei said this, he looked at Han Shiyan.

Han Shiyan took her words without hesitation and said, "Because he found out that the deceased was Zheng Dong, and also found the coffin nails on his chest, which reminded him of his former friends with Zheng Dong and Qiuniang. And the cripple’s grudge.”

"He knew that as long as this old incident was dug up, he would be regarded as a murderer and it would be difficult to defend himself."

Wu Jiang's eyes lit up instantly, but before he could sustain his excitement for a few breaths, he was instantly discouraged.

"Those three people are dead, and Yuan Huo has escaped. Who can figure out what happened in the past? Moreover, if Yuan Huo is not the murderer, if we continue to investigate like this, wouldn't we be fulfilling the intention of the person who harmed him... …”

"Are you being led by someone's nose?"

Gu Shiwei raised his eyebrows. Knowing that Ma Hongying was still alive, Wu Jiang's whole person was indeed different.

In the past, when he encountered a case, he would just mess it up, follow her and Han Shiyan, wait for them to find out, and then pick up the ready-made case.

But now he started to think about the case non-stop, but it was much better than the despair before!
"It depends on how you think about whether people herd cows or cows herd people."

Gu Shiwei said, but did not continue to explain this topic to Wu Jiang. She was worried that she would have to start from the beginning of Pangu's creation of the world before Wu Jiang could understand the meaning. Just thinking about it made her feel so thirsty that she could swallow a pool of water. son.

"How could you not know? They obviously left one alive just waiting for us to ask!" Gu Shiwei said and looked in the direction of Furong Lane.

"Green Yi", Wu Jiang blurted out.

Gu Shinwei nodded and walked towards the door. When the female shopkeeper of Chunxiu Tower saw her, she hurriedly followed him, holding up the hem of her skirt, with a look of excitement on her face.

She trotted to Gu Shiwei's side and said with bright eyes, "I am very pleased with you, Lord Gu."

Han Shiyan, who was following behind and was about to go out, slipped when he heard these shocking words and almost tripped over the threshold.

"I used to like reading this kind of storybook. Why am I so smart? I often dream at night, dreaming that I am the governor of Kaifeng during the day and the judge of Yama at night."

Gu Shinwei's mouth twitched, "Then you are too busy."

The shopkeeper, Po Xi, covered her mouth and giggled, "I'm willing to work hard until I die."

"Ahead is Furong Lane..."

Po Xi was stunned and looked at Gu Shiwei with softer eyes, "Mr. Gu is really as kind-hearted as the rumors say. But it doesn't matter, I came from Furong Lane before."

"When I get older, I don't want to be a madam, nor do I want to marry a businesswoman, let alone stay there."

"Later, Mrs. Wang asked me to come to Mingjing Alley and become the shopkeeper of Chunxiu Tower."

"Mrs. Wang said that although we women have lost our beauty, if our skills can be passed down, if there is another way to survive, there will not be so many sisters jumping into the fire pit and getting dirty."

When Po Xi said this, his face lit up.

Gu Shinwei paused and happened to see her in the mirror.

"Although beauty is useless, you are beautiful."

Gu Shiwei said seriously, "Where else can there be rumors that I have a kind heart? I should pay the person who spreads this message to parade around the streets every day to spread the word."

Po Xi was stunned for a moment, then laughed again.

Han Shiyan, who was following the two of them, looked at the two people chatting and laughing in front of him with an expressionless face, and silently moved a few minutes away from Wu Jiang beside him, "Your arm is injured, so be more calm. This is yours." Stab me for the third time.”

Wu Jiang didn't notice the boredom in the voice at all, and he winked at Han Shiyan.

"You take care of your relatives and you are completely inferior to you! In the past, you were still the most popular young man in Bianjing City! Now the beauties don't even look at you seriously! Also, Gu's relatives are smart and talented, and they are the new favorite of the Imperial City Envoy. , the future is promising.”

"If I were the young lady, I would like her too! Brother Shi Yan, if this continues, what will you do?"

Han Shiyan almost laughed angrily, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"

Wu Jiang curled his lips, "I'm not mute to begin with, so of course I have to be gibbering. The facts are in front of you, why are you so angry?"

"It is said that the prime minister's heart is like a boat..." Wu Jiang said and stamped his feet, "Oh no, the prime minister is Han Jingyan... no wonder you are so stingy!"
