Master in charge of the case: Our county magistrate has a black belly

Chapter 231 Anger
If the dagger is still printed with royal patterns, it must belong to an unfavored princess and prince. "

"By the way, my lord once asked me to investigate Princess Zhaowu. Princess Zhaowu was indeed not favored in the palace. His mother and concubine were just the daughter of a small county magistrate. She gave birth to her later, but her mother and concubine died of dystocia. If she dies, the emperor will not care about her, and has been living in the side hall. Her finger marriage is because of her own design. Almost all the princesses in the palace who are of age are married, but because she is not favored, so She has been ignored all the time, but later she planned to meet Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan told the emperor at the imperial banquet that he wanted to marry her, and the emperor married Princess Zhaowu to him in order to win over Chen Yuan." Xia Yan said. "General princesses build a princess mansion in the capital, and Princess Zhaowu is willing to marry. After Chen Yuan arrived in Qingzhou, it seems that Princess Zhaowu does not want to marry normally." Xiang Hua sneered.

"If you don't want to marry again, you can only wait for the marriage." Han Quce said, "That's why she is so anxious to marry, and the dagger should be brought by her as a dowry, but she probably won't do it herself."

Lu Yu nodded, "This should be regarded as an item that is very important to her. Generally, items that are important to me will only be given to people I trust."

Han Quce laughed, "So, we should meet the heroine of this matter."

Princess Zhaowu looked at the person who came to the door in front of her, and couldn't help taking a breath.Wang Momo on the side supported her and gave her "comfort."

Lu Yu looked at Princess Zhaowu's smirk and didn't care, "Princess, we are here this time to ask if there is anything missing in your house?"

Princess Zhaowu shook her head, "No."

"Really not?"

"It seems not." Princess Zhaowu said again.

Wang Momo on the side kindly "reminded", "Princess, you forgot, you said that the dagger given to you by the emperor was lost."

Princess Zhaowu said a few times, and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, but I don't think it's a big deal, because it is a royal property after all, and no one dares to touch it."

As soon as Lu Yu waved his hand, Xia Yan handed over the dagger. Lu Yu held the dagger and asked, "Could it be this dagger?"

Princess Zhaowu looked at the knife, pretended to be calm, nodded, and said with a smile, "Yes, it is indeed this dagger. I am still looking for it. Thank you sir for giving it to me."

Lu Yu said, "I didn't give the princess the dagger, but I wanted to ask the princess when she lost it?"

"There is no need to investigate such trivial matters."

"Princess, let's talk."

"It was lost yesterday." Princess Zhaowu rolled her eyes and said it casually.

"Does the princess carry this knife every night?"

Princess Zhaowu shook her head, "I'm all in the dowry box."

"The dowry box? Does the princess go through her dowry box every day? Check if there is anything missing in it?" Lu Yu asked aggressively.

Princess Zhaowu was obviously stunned, and Wang Momo hurriedly rounded up the situation, "Because the princess missed the emperor, she took out the dagger yesterday morning and put it back. Afterwards, she thought about the emperor again, and the old slave was going to get it. Unexpectedly, the dagger was gone, the princess guessed that some little hoof might have picked it up by mistake, and she could return it tomorrow."

Princess Zhaowu nodded, "Yes, thank you Lord Lu for sending back my things. I am very grateful."

"I think this dagger cannot be returned to the princess yet."

"Why?" Princess Zhaowu asked.

After such a long conversation, Lu Yu felt his mouth was dry, and dealing with two old women would exhaust him to death, so he looked at Han Quce, Han Quce was helpless, and said, "Because this dagger involved a person's life."

Princess Zhaowu was surprised, "How is this possible? This, I really don't know."

"You will know, princess. Since your dagger is lost, it must have been taken by a servant or a thief. Therefore, our lord wants to search the Chen residence." Han Quce said with a serious face, because he was facing the dagger in front of him. The princess still couldn't bring up any interest in talking.

"This, this is not good." Princess Zhaowu was a little nervous and tugged at Mother Wang.

Wang Momo smiled at everyone and said, "My lords, I think it's better to wait until my uncle comes back."

"I'm afraid this is not good. If the murderer is really in your mansion, then he is in danger to the life of the princess, so it's better to check." Han Quce gestured to Lu Yu after finishing speaking.

Lu Yu understood. Before Princess Zhaowu could speak, he said to Xia Yan, "Xia Yan, Ah Hu, take someone to search."

"Yes." Xia Yan and Ah Hu each led a team to inspect.

Princess Zhaowu couldn't do anything about it. She looked at Nanny Wang, and Nanny Wang shook her head at the princess. Princess Zhaowu could only fidget and wait.

Xia Yan and Ah Hu lead people to interrogate one by one in the mansion. Everyone must find proof of their absence, otherwise they will all wait for the Yamen. It is better to arrest a person than miss a person.

Xia Yan was interrogating the maid who cleaned the house, "Let me ask you, you often clean and go in and out of various rooms, do you know whose master and servant Princess Zhaowu has the best relationship with?"

"No, there is no one else except Wang Momo." The servant girl shook her head, "That's right." The servant girl pointed to the man who was sweeping the floor in the yard with his head bowed, "Since he came to the mansion, he has hosted a lot for the princess. thing."

The man who was sweeping the floor saw the servant girl talking with the catcher and pointing at himself, so frightened, he dropped the broom and ran away.

"Catch him." Xia Yan yelled, and all the arresting officers went to besiege the man who ran away.

Xia Yan was naturally relieved that this man would never escape, and then said to the maid, "What's his name?"

The servant girl was taken aback by the situation just now, "He, his name is Qian San."

As Xia Yan expected, Qian San was soon tied up in front of Xia Yan.

Qian San looked at Xia Yan in horror, "Captain, I, I didn't kill him on purpose, I killed someone."

Xia Yan said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be so easy, okay, let's call it a day."

Xia Yan shook his head and looked at Qian San who was still looking terrified. How could Princess Zhaowu find such a thing to kill Chun'er and the others, and she revealed her secrets so quickly.

When Xia Yan appeared in the hall with Qian San, Princess Zhaowu's face was obviously surprised, but women always concealed it so well, and quickly recovered, as if nothing had happened.

Qian San knelt in the hall, his head bowed, his body still trembling.

"Qian San, do you know what you have committed?" Lu Yu's cold voice sounded in the hall.

Qian San shuddered, "I, I, I know, I killed someone, my lord, please forgive me, I didn't mean it."

"Didn't it be intentional? Everyone died? Wasn't it intentional? Could it be that someone instructed you." Lu Yu glanced at Princess Zhaowu, but Princess Zhaowu lowered her head, showing no expression.

"My lord, please forgive me, yes." Qian San glanced at Princess Zhaowu, but Wang Nanny's sharp eyes suppressed his words, Qian San shook his head, "No, no."

"Then why did you just say yes?" Seeing this situation, Han Quce felt like a bright mirror in his heart, and he should not be the only one.

"Little man, the villain is wrong."

Lu Yu put the dagger on the table, "Where did you get this dagger?"

"The warehouse." Qian San said.

"Where is the warehouse?"

"The box, in the box."

"You stole it?" Lu Yu continued to ask.

Qian San glanced at Wang Momo, then quickly lowered his head, "Yes, yes."

"Then why are you stealing?"

"I, I owed gambling debts, so, so I wanted to steal something, because I found the princess's storeroom, and thought it was full of good things, so, so, I just took one." Qian San stammered. Said, "Who knew it was a dagger."

Looking at Qian San's appearance, Han Quce knew that he was also lying, and he was a little angry, "Then why did you kill Aunt Hua?"

"Because, she, she saw me trying to steal something and asked me to reason, so I killed her on the spur of the moment." Qian San continued.

Han Quce said, "However, some people said that you covered your face and entered the inn, saying you wanted to find Chun'er, but who knew Chun'er was not there, and then Aunt Hua wanted to report to the police, so you killed her, right?"

Qian San shook his head, "No, no, I don't know Chun'er."

Seeing that Han Quce was about to lose his temper, Lu Yu immediately said, "Xia Yan will take him back to the prison for another trial."

"Yes." Xia Yan escorted Qian San and Ah Hu away.

Lu Yu pulled Han Quce to stand up, "Since it was done by a servant, it's none of the princess' business, don't bother me."

Princess Zhaowu wiped her tears vainly, "Then I won't send it away, I still have two sons to take care of. I am also very sad to hear the news of Aunt Hua's death, and I hope that the lord will punish the murderer severely. "

"En." Said that Lu Yu pulled Han Quce and left, if he didn't leave, Han Quce would really lose his temper.

Watching Han Quce and Lu Yu walk away, Princess Zhaowu looked at Nanny Wang, "Mommy, why did you ask him to do something and leave my dagger at the scene of the murder? Go to jail and tell everything."

Wang Momo bowed her head, "I'm sorry, princess, it's the old slave who is sloppy in his work. I thought this kid was reliable in his work. Who knew that this would happen to me."

"You have to deal with him." Princess Zhaowu said mercilessly.

"Yes." Nanny Wang nodded.
