After passing through the book, the vicious female supporting character and the heroine work togethe

After making up his mind and promising again, a few big fish swam away, and Xu Muhua got up and hurried back with Liang Ming.

But in the end, the time was delayed a little, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

Liang Ming had no choice but to take a shortcut, hoping to return to Chengguo Duke's mansion as soon as possible.

But when Xu Muhua heard the words "cutting corners", he immediately felt something was wrong.

According to experience, generally at this time, paths, alleys, etc., always seem to be associated with the word "unlucky".

"Maybe we can get back home without taking shortcuts?" Xu Muhua struggled.

Liang Ming was very straightforward: "Miss, it's too late, there's not enough time. You don't know how to do Qing Gong. If you can do Qing Gong, we can still do it if we work hard."

But the eldest lady can only rely on two legs, so that won’t work.

Xu Muhua's straight shoulders suddenly drooped, and he said feebly, "Okay, let's take a shortcut!"

Hey, maybe she was overthinking it and nothing would happen at all! She is not a bad star, she will always be bad wherever she goes.

Liang Ming was very familiar with the area and knew which way could return to Duke Cheng's Mansion faster.

He led Xu Muhua towards that road. As he walked, there were fewer and fewer people, and there seemed to be a faint sound of closed doors in the distance.

As soon as I turned another corner, I could see the wall of Duke Chengguo's Mansion, but it happened at this moment. Xu Muhua seemed to trip on something and staggered. She instinctively stretched out her hands to hold on to the wall to stabilize her body and prevent her from falling.

"what happened?"

"I--"

"Who is in front of you? Stop!"

Xu Muhua: Hate!

Liang Ming was also confused and completely unprepared! We were about to arrive at the house, why did something unexpected happen?

But he didn't panic. He would reveal his identity later and the closed-door drum was not finished yet, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

But when the patrolman approached with a torch and illuminated the surroundings, his eyesight went dark after he saw the situation clearly!

Why is there a man covered in blood lying on the ground? !

Why is there blood on the hem of the eldest lady's clothes? !

If he couldn't avoid it, he could only accept it calmly. Xu Muhua quickly calmed down and his mind was racing, thinking about how to get out.

"Who are you? What are you doing here when you're not at home in the middle of the night?"

It was the middle of the night, the night had just begun... Xu Muhua could only dare to mutter this in his heart.

"Dear officials, we were just passing by. Because we were pressed for time, we just took a shortcut." Liang Ming explained.

"Take a shortcut? I think you were committing crimes and were caught by others, so you killed them and silenced them!"

"Hey, sir, this is serious. We are really just passing by! We have nothing to do with this person! You said we kill people and silence them, but you can see that we have weapons on us? We can't kill people with our hands, right?" Xu Muhua shouted that he was wronged.

The patrol knew that there was a high probability that it was not these two people who killed him. They may not have killed the person, but it may not have anything to do with them! Maybe they are accomplices!

"Take him back for questioning!"

After saying this, both of them panicked and said in unison: "Wait!"

The patrolman looked at the two men fiercely, his hand already on his weapon. It was obvious that if the two of them made any resistance, they would attack without mercy.

Liang Ming and Xu Muhua looked at each other, and she nodded slightly. Liang Ming said: "We are from Chengguo Gongfu, and we are really just passing by! In front of us is Chengguo Gongfu, and we took this road just to take a shortcut."

The Duke of Chengguo?

When he said this, the patrolman really hesitated.

But he soon became firm again, even with a much better attitude, "There is nothing we can do about you two. This person is the person we are chasing, and he is dead now, and you are here by chance, so you should cooperate with us. It's for investigation. If it's just a small matter for Duke Cheng Guo's sake, we can pretend we didn't see it, but tonight's matter..." The speaker shook his head.

Liang Ming and Xu Muhua looked at each other: Could something big happen?

"Then... why don't we go back to the house first and come to cooperate with the investigation tomorrow?" Xu Muhua asked tentatively.

The other party looked at her silently.

Well, obviously it's not possible.

Now that they are related to the murder case or even other cases, they must not be allowed to leave without a chance to clear up the mess.

"In this case, let's fight quickly! Seize the time!"

Let's see if we can hide it from the people in the house.

So the two were taken back to Nanya.

At this time, the yamen was still brightly lit, and the people inside were walking in a hurry, and there was a tense atmosphere.

The general looked at his men with doubtful eyes when he saw Liang Ming and Xu Muhua dressed as men.

The person who led them back whispered a few words in his ear, and the general's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at the two of them.

"This must be the young master of Cheng Guogong. I don't know it's so late. The young master can't stay in the house well. Why..." General Xiang Gongren is tall and burly, with a short beard and a face with Chinese characters. , thick eyebrows and long eyes, his face looked ordinary, but his eyes were sharp, looking at the two of them with a trace of suspicion and caution.

Seeing that he had mistaken her for Xu Nan, Xu Muhua accepted the mistake and said, "General Xiang, I'm not afraid to tell the truth. Two days ago on the Lantern Festival, my second sister accidentally fell into the water in the Jinsha River and almost lost her life. My mother was very worried, so she specially ordered me to go to Jinsha River to release the animals and pray for blessings."

General Xiang looked a little strange, "Releasing animals to pray for blessings, at this time?" At night?

"Isn't it the night of the Lantern Festival when my second sister fell into the water? My mother suspected that my second sister accidentally bumped into something, so she specially asked me to go to the Jinsha River at this time to pray for blessings."

Xu's mother is a female, so it's not strange to have such thoughts.

"Then why did you take that path?"

Xu Muhua re-explained what he had explained before, taking the trouble to explain it in more detail.

"So it was just a coincidence that you met by chance?"

Xu Muhua knew that this coincidence was too coincidental and indeed suspicious, but it was a fact! No matter what she can do, she doesn't want to!

"General, everything I said is the truth, I dare not say anything false!" Xu Muhua almost swore to God.

General Xiang was silent for a moment and said, "I am very willing to believe you, general, but I just don't know if Li Shangshu is willing to believe you."

Xu Muhua was confused for a moment, "Li Shangshu?"

Which Li Shangshu?

"Master Li Gang, Minister of the Ministry of War, there was a thief in his house tonight. The thief stole something and brutally killed one of Li Shangshu's sons who came after hearing the news. Our people chased him all the way to the small road. It turned out that the person was dead. And you were right next to that person."
