Chapter 23 The storm surges again
The three of them filed in. Upon seeing this, Jade Governor and Chen Buyu quickly stood up and saluted.

"See Crown Prince."

Wei Ling also obediently put down the box and cage, and bowed her hands to Mu Zhao.

Mu Zhao nodded, walked to the long table, looked at the wooden horse and bamboo ball, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Jade Governor hurriedly asked Mu Zhao to sit down and said with a sad look on his face, "Just now, the official was discussing with Mr. Chen and others. Judging from the surface, it is impossible to find out what the relationship between the deceased Chen Ergou and Niu Erji was." No contact."

"Master Chen also feels that it is hard to say whether a demon committed the crime."

Mu Feng chuckled, "Then why did your Demon Suppression Department intervene in this case?"

Wei Ling raised her eyelids and said bluntly, "Mr. Zhilu of the Criminal and Prison Department is here to follow the crown prince and take charge of disaster relief. The Demon Suppression Department just took over the order from above and took charge of the case on his behalf. There is no overstep."

Mu Feng snorted, "Wei Ling, we don't speak secretly in front of people. The Demon Suppression Division has been silent for many years, but now we have grasped the opportunity so well. I think I have been looking around for a long time, and I have taken advantage of this opportunity to make a move."

"The Demon Suppression Department has indeed been silent for many years, but it is not without anything to do." Wei Ling said with a cold face, "It is in a place you don't know about, and it solves countless phantom cases every year. Master Mu, I don't blame you for being ignorant. , It’s just that you have limited knowledge and don’t know that there are all kinds of wonders in the world.”

"You!" Mu Feng's face turned red when she choked. Mu Shizi had no choice but to push him behind him, "Master Wei, I heard that you studied under Chitu, one of the six great judges, and he has an extremely good autopsy skill. Technique. I wonder if you can see something else from these three corpses?"

"I can't say it's superior. I just know a little bit about it, and it's not one ten thousandth as good as my master. I want to hear it, I can tell you in detail."

Wei Ling said and presented an examination form.

No more than the uneducated and incompetent Young Master Mu, Wei Ling was extremely respectful to the extremely talented and talented eldest son of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

At that time, this man was a romantic figure who made all the young talents in the capital unable to feel even the slightest bit jealous.

The reason why mortals feel jealous is because the distance is not far enough and they can still catch up with hard work.

If you are like the prince, who is so out of reach and out of reach, then it is impossible to be jealous...

The dividing line between Linlang’s family——
"Miss, do you really want to go out?"

"The old lady's birthday is approaching. The jadeite Guanyin I ordered from Babao Pavilion is about to arrive. I have to go get the goods."

"Slave, just go..." Honglai saw his young lady glance over and hurriedly swallowed the second half of his sentence.

Yu Qiuping walked out of the west chamber door and suddenly stopped and glanced towards the east chamber.

"She hasn't gone out these days?"

"No." Honglai shook his head, with a worried look on his face, "Miss, if you go to the Babao Pavilion to get the Jade Guanyin, you have to pay the remaining silver."

She spoke hesitantly, "Including the money that my aunt secretly gave me a while ago, it seems that the total amount on hand is not enough."

"Don't worry, I have a solution." Yu Qiuping smiled mysteriously at her, "Just wait and count the money."

Honglai helped her out of the small courtyard, turned around and glanced, "Miss, how come the person who used to criticize the mistress was so quiet these days?"

"Afraid of death? There were three murder cases in succession. I think she was so scared that she didn't even dare to leave the house." Yu Qiuping said lightly, "After all, she is just a village girl from a small place in the countryside. It is normal to be afraid."

Honglai chuckled, "I thought he was such a powerful master, but he doesn't necessarily have much courage."

Yu Qiuping chatted and laughed with the maid and walked out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

In front of the door is Chongyuanfang Street, and Babao Pavilion is not far away. The master and servant did not let anyone set up the car, and walked all the way to the jewelry stalls selling along the street.

As soon as Yu Qiuping picked up a well-made silver hairpin and looked at it, she saw a pair of women holding hands and chattering passing behind her.

"Hey, Mrs. Wang, have you heard? The third lady of Lizhou Mufu drowned in her back garden!" "Ah?" The eyes of the woman who heard the gossip lit up, "When did it happen?"

"Isn't it just the past two days? Hey, I'm kindly telling you, I heard that your sister has secretly met Miss Li San and wants to arrange this marriage for your nephew?"

Mrs. Wang quickly thanked her, "Good sister, thank you for reminding me. Oh, I didn't expect that the third lady of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion would have such a short life."

"More than that, I secretly told you not to tell others. I heard that her reputation is not very good."

"Did you know that the eldest son of the Marquis of Xuanping and his party came here to provide relief? Not long ago, when Mr. Zhou Mu invited the eldest son to come to the mansion, Miss Li San shamelessly plotted against this..."

"Huh??" Mrs. Wang's jaw almost dropped in shock, "Isn't it right? The third lady dares to scheme against the heir apparent of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?"

"No, I simply don't know how to live or die. The brother-in-law of my seventh aunt and eighth aunt's family was working as an errand in the Zhou Mu Mansion, and saw Mu Shizi storming away in anger. That night, the third young lady was dealt with by Master Zhou Mu's family law! "

"Although this matter has been kept secret, everyone who knows it knows."

Yu Qiuping hurriedly put down the hairpin in her hand, wanting to catch up and hear a few more gossips, when she suddenly saw the golden plaque signboard of Changle Gambling House appearing in front of her eyes.

She paused and told Honglai to stay where he was, while she quickly walked forward and whispered a few words to the boy guarding the door.

The boy looked a little impatient and waved his hand vigorously at Miss Yu.

Without saying a few words, Yu Qiuping returned to Honglai angrily, looking a little depressed.

"Miss?"

Yu Qiuping sighed, "Forget it, I won't go to Babao Pavilion today. We'll talk about it in two days."

Honglai was confused and nodded hesitantly, "Well, we need to send someone to inform Shopkeeper Wu of Babao Pavilion that the jade Guanyin must be kept for us."

Yu Qiuping sighed again and nodded, "Let Ma Gui go and say it."

She turned her head with a sullen face and stared at Changle Gambling House angrily. She was no longer in the mood to wander around.

"Go home."

Honglai followed in small steps. Just as they were about to hire a carriage from the opposite side, they saw two thick curtains at the entrance of the gambling house being lifted up forcefully.

Fourteen or five people swarmed out, screaming in horror, "He's dead!"

"The gambling house is dead!"

Pedestrians in the streets and alleys gathered around curiously, and the two masters and servants Yu Qiuping happened to be blocked at the door.

Honglai stepped forward and squeezed, but was pushed back again, his expression turned extremely ugly.

"Girl, what should we do now?"

Yu Qiuping also had a pale face and was a little frightened.

Someone outside the crowd shouted, "Hey, the people from the Governor's Yamen are here."

Yu Qiuping turned around and saw Jade Governor leading the people in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped back.

Jade Governor caught sight of his daughter's figure, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
