The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 361 It's Really a Coincidence (1)
The sun was high, and it was already past noon. Finally, a group of people appeared outside the city gate, and a group of guards pressed a prison cart and appeared in everyone's sight.

The person in the prison car was Tang Qianhua whom she had seen more than a year ago. She was pale and haggard, with iron cuffs on her hands and feet, hanging motionless in the prison car.

The leader of the team jumped off his horse, walked to the gate of the city, took out his token, and was about to show it to the guards, when he suddenly flew towards Tang Qianhua with an arrow from the direction of Boqing.

At this time, Tang Qianhua's body was opened in big characters, her hands and feet were locked again, and she couldn't dodge at all. The arrow shot into her body without any suspense.

Tang Qianhua died, and there was chaos outside the city gate.

Seeing this scene, Lingju was surprised and said: "What's going on, we didn't ambush in this direction, our people didn't do it."

Boqing immediately stood up, and said calmly: "This is a trap, let our people withdraw quickly." After finishing speaking, she also hurriedly walked down the tea house.

The carriage stopped just outside the gate of the tea house, Lingju jumped out of the carriage and opened the curtain, she couldn't help being stunned, she turned her head and said anxiously: "Master, look." A pair of bows and arrows were impressively placed inside the carriage.

Boqing's eyes darkened involuntarily. Lingju just wanted to take the bow and arrow away, but was held down by a small hand: "It's too late." This is a trap set by the other party. Plant it on yourself.

Looking in another direction, another team of people has already appeared in front.

The pupils of the fickle eyes shrank, and Yin Zhenyingjie of Shuntian Mansion was leading the guards of Shuntian Mansion towards the city gate. It was too late to hide the bow, so he could only resign himself to fate.

The midday sun was shining with scorching light, but it could no longer warm the body on the prison cart, which was pierced by an arrow and soaked in blood.

After Zhen Yingjie asked the escorting guards about the situation, he immediately blocked the road and asked the accompanying people to start a large-scale search for the murderer. At this time, people from the Duke Protector's Mansion also appeared at the south gate. It was a good appointment, but they appeared one after the other.

Boqing sat on the carriage, watched all this calmly, looked down at the bow and arrow on the carpet, and said coldly: "Lingju, I feel a little uncomfortable, you should watch outside first, and when they come over, drag them for a while." Yes." With a wave of jade hands, he immediately lowered the curtain of the car.

A hint of doubt flashed in Lingju's eyes, could there be a solution at this time, but the master was indeed a little uncomfortable, thinking of this, he could only calm down and guard outside the carriage quietly.

After searching for a while to no avail, Zhen Yingjie stood at the place of the deceased, visually checked the direction of the arrow, and immediately noticed a tea house not far from the city gate.

After some measurements, Zhen Yingjie was sure that the arrow was shot from that tea house, and the most suitable location for shooting was the window on the third floor of this tea house, and the upper third floor was an independent private room, which was the most suitable place for the murderer to shoot. After finishing the case, after finishing the case, as long as you put away your bow and arrow, you can easily escape the search.

The people of Duke Huguo's mansion were guarding beside the corpse and noticed his movements. One of them, a young man wearing a black brocade robe and holding a jade bone fan, stepped forward and said, "Lord Zhen, Lord Huguo Fu Tang Shaozhen, who is the fourth in the family, was ordered by his elders to come to meet his younger sister Qianhua, but he did not expect such a thing to happen." Having said this, his eyes turned red.

Zhen Yingjie immediately cupped his hands, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "It turned out to be the Fourth Young Master of the Protector's Mansion. I was ordered to escort Tang Qianhua, the criminal minister, to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I did not expect such a thing to happen. I would like to express my condolences to the Fourth Young Master Tang." By the way."

Tang Shaozhen also replied: "Lord Zhen has been staring in the direction of the tea house just now, but he found something."

Zhen Yingjie's eyes froze, and he said calmly: "I believe that the arrow was shot from that tea house, and I am planning to let people go over to check it out."

"Although Qianhua was guilty, but the crime did not lead to death, but now she died inexplicably outside the city gate, without even entering the house, so she must die unwillingly. I don't know if I can investigate with Master Zhen." Tang Shaozhen With a sad expression on his face, he turned his head from time to time to look at the corpses that had been moved out of the prison van.

"Fourth Young Master Tang intended to accompany you, so it would be better, please!" Zhen Yingjie said with an official's politeness on his face.

The name of this tea house is Nanwangju. It is a well-known old tea house in the local area. It is full of refined scholars and scholars. When the group walked to the gate of the tea house, they saw a carriage parked in front of the gate, just blocking the tea house. the gate.

Zhen Yingjie and Tang Shaozhen also noticed this carriage, which was parked in front of the tea house.Can't help but feel a little strange.

Ordinary shops would not allow people to park at the gate, but this carriage was carelessly parked at the gate of another tea house. The strangest thing was that no one came out to drive people from the tea house, so they couldn't help but take a second look.

Judging from the decoration on the outside of the carriage, this carriage is not very gorgeous, but the simple design is very dignified.

In particular, there was an astonishingly gorgeous and indifferent woman standing outside the carriage. Most importantly, this woman was holding a sword in her hand, which made people suspicious.

Zhen Yingjie waved his hand and signaled others to go upstairs to search, then he walked up to the strange car, cupped his hands to Lingju and said, "My lady, a murder case just happened at the gate of the city. To prevent the murderer from hiding and escaping, all the carriages must be inspected. Please give me a convenience, girl, I hope to forgive me if I offend you."

Lingju didn't even move his eyelids, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, my master is resting in the carriage because of physical discomfort, and I hope you don't disturb my master's rest, and don't make things difficult for us slaves."

Both Zhen Yingjie and Tang Shaozhen couldn't help showing surprise in their eyes, and they looked at Lingju in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, the beautiful woman in front of her, who is more noble and outstanding than those Qianjin ladies, is actually just a maid. The maid is already like this, and the master there is so extraordinary.

Tang Shaozhen couldn't help being curious about the people in the carriage, what kind of master was worthy of using such a beauty as a slave, but there was no suitable excuse.

"I also hope that the girl will tell your master that I am only on official business, and I don't mean to offend." Although Zhen Yingjie was very curious about the people in the carriage, when he asked to see you at this time, he didn't have any other intentions. It's just a simple inspection of the carriage.

Lingju is not easy to turn against others before others tear him apart. Being patient does not mean giving in.

Besides, there were indeed things in the carriage that could turn them into murderers, so I could only patiently say: "I'm sorry, my family is really unwell because the master is unwell, and I ordered that no one should be disturbed. Please forgive me, my lord."

Even she didn't expect that the carriage was guarded by people from the secret cabinet, but the murderer still put things into the carriage.

Who knows if these people are working together to set up a game to frame the master.Although she doesn't know what the master is going to do, since the master asked her to stop her, she will stop her for now.
