Mad Concubine Proud of the World: Your Highness is the most beloved

Chapter 122 Has the case progressed?

After walking around for a while, Zhou Shangshu stomped his feet angrily, walked up to Lin Butou, pointed his finger angrily and nodded his head, and reprimanded: "What do you want me to say about you? You don't care about the prime minister and the princess concubine." Didn’t see it, and dared to leave without permission with someone. Another girl died last night, how do you think you can bear the crime of dereliction of duty!”

Lin Butou buried his head lower and lowered, frowned and explained guiltily: "My lord, this subordinate didn't intend to leave first."

"You still have an excuse."

Zhou Shangshu hated iron and steel, and raised his hand to hit him, "Even if Xiangye didn't ask, you followed Fengqi Mountain, so dereliction of duty, there is no place for this old face of this official!"

Catcher Lin hurriedly raised his hand to protect his head, and said anxiously: "My lord, it wasn't that this subordinate left without authorization last night, but because this subordinate was bewitched by that monster and somehow arrived at the gate of the city."

Zhou Shangshu stopped his movements, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What's going on?"

Catcher Lin straightened out his thoughts, and said he was about to get up: "Last night, not long after the prime minister and the princess concubine left, where the subordinates were hiding, they saw a ball of green light in the grass not far away. move."

"It's too complicated, so this subordinate wanted to get closer to check the situation. Unexpectedly, the green light was moving a little bit. The subordinate was out of the grass at that time, and when he realized that something was wrong, he planned to use the sound transmission talisman to call the princess Niangniang, I didn't expect that the green light suddenly rushed into the hands of the subordinates, and the sound transmission talisman was swept away in one roll, and it disappeared at that time."

"The subordinates really panicked, so they had to order people to chase after the green light. Before they could chase after it, it rained heavily, and then the green light disappeared, and the subordinates were also led to the city gate. "

"According to what you said, it was really the work of evildoers? Then why did Xiang Ye want me to send people to guard around the city?" Zhou Shangshu rubbed his chin, frowning and pondering.

"My lord, this subordinate did dereliction of duty, which led to the murder of another girl last night. This subordinate is guilty." Catcher Lin bowed his head earnestly.

Zhou Shangshu sighed, waved his hands in annoyance, and said, "Forget it, I can't blame you entirely. This case still needs your help. Don't make mistakes again, and make up for it!"

"Thank you for your forgiveness, my lord." Catcher Lin stood up straight and saluted solemnly.

Zhou Shangshu walked to the desk and sat down without saying a word.

Only then did Lin Butou get up with a sigh of relief, turn around and leave quickly.

After waiting for two days in a row, there was no news about the evildoer or the murderer outside the city.

In the corridor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xia Ningxi and Yu Xuanzhen sat facing each other in the Baosha, with a chessboard in front of them.

Yu Xuanzhen's chess was really good, Xia Ningxi was no match for him at all, so she simply acted like a fool, removing the black stones surrounding her white stones and replacing them with white stones.

Yu Xuanzhen looked at the messy chess game she was tossing about, dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "I've seen a lot of chess players, and this is the first time I've seen a chess player like you."

"This is what I mean by not taking the usual path, and attacking those who are not prepared by surprise." Xia Ningxi raised her eyebrows as she put down the last white chess piece she held in her hand, speaking with confidence.

Yu Xuanzhen let out a sigh, looked at the chess game where there was no way out for him, and sighed: "I have no way out, and I will fall into your hands after all. But I will be happy to fall into your hands."

With a bright smile on the corner of her mouth, Xia Ningxi looked at him with her chin on her hands, and asked, "What did you tell Yun Chen yesterday morning? All I know is that you asked him to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to order Zhou Shangshu to send someone to the city. Watching outside, and letting out rumors that the whereabouts of the murderer have been found. Could it be that you are trying to confuse the judgment of the person who helped that monster?"

"You guessed half of it right, and the other half, and you'll know when the time comes."

Yu Xuanzhen was holding a black chess piece in his hand, looking at the board: "No accident, within three days, the perpetrators will show their feet."

"Your self-confidence is too strong." Xia Ningxi didn't bother to think too much, stood up and left the building, went to the rattan chair in the garden and lay down, squinting her eyes and resting her mind.

Yu Xuanzhen put away the chess pieces on the table one by one, with a calm and peaceful expression.

At this moment, a soldier from the Prime Minister's Mansion ran quickly from the front yard to Baosha, and before he got close to Baosha, he shouted: "His Royal Highness, the Prime Minister ordered someone to send a message, saying that the case has progressed, Go and have a look!"

There was a deep look in Yu Xuanzhen's eyes, he stood up and walked out of the garden.

Hearing this, Xia Ningxi turned over and sat up in a jerk, hurriedly followed him, and said anxiously: "Wait for me, I will go with you."

"You don't have to go, it's just that the perpetrator was caught, not a monster." Yu Xuanzhen said as he walked.

"Then I have to go and see, so I can judge who is helping that evildoer." Xia Ningxi pouted, but still followed closely. Villages and towns outside the city.

Lijia Village outside the city.

Catcher Lin ordered his subordinates to escort two very ordinary-looking men and force them to kneel on the ground.

The two men were both in their 30s and [-]s, dressed in rough clothes, looking down at the ground, trembling all over.

Yun Chen was dressed in dark blue uniform, staring at the two men kneeling on the ground with frowned eyes, and asked coldly: "Why do you want to kidnap the girls and take their lives?"

The two men's lips were tight, and they refused to say a word even if they were killed.

Yun Chen frowned slightly, didn't say a word, just wasted his time, waiting for the two men to speak.

The carriage stopped slowly, Xia Ningxi got out of the car first, ran to Yun Chen anxiously, and asked: "I heard that the person who helped that monster was caught, where is it?"

"These are the two." Yun Chen pointed at the two men kneeling behind Xia Ningxi.

Yu Xuanzhen also hurriedly approached, looked at the two men with a cold face, and asked calmly: "Why do you want to kidnap the girl? Murder the girl?"

One of the men finally opened his mouth, lowered his head in fear and said, "We are just doing this to make ends meet, and we don't mean to kill those girls. Even if one or two accidentally died, it's their own fate. I couldn't bear the torture and died."

Yu Xuanzhen took a breath and asked again: "How did you deal with those dead girls?"

"Throw it at the foot of the mountain, creating the illusion of accidental death." The man buried his head lower and lower, and his voice became lower and lower.

Xia Ningxi obviously didn't believe the two people's words, and snorted coldly: "Are you colluding with evildoers? Those dead girls were obviously drained of blood!"

The two men raised their heads in panic, waved their hands in fear and said in unison: "We really don't know what's going on, how can we recognize any evildoers."

Yun Chen was silent for a moment, and analyzed: "I think this case should be just a misunderstanding. Maybe the evil spirit sucked the blood of a dead girl. Therefore, this case is not the work of the evil spirit, but is actually a man-made one. case."
