Chapter 343 Murder Case
Lieutenant Meng Du was originally a general, so he chatted with Murong Lan and the others before drinking.Seeing that all of them have good martial arts, they are ready to move, and they also asked someone to come for a few rounds.

They are all straightforward people, and they had a good conversation, and after a few more matches, they became even closer and became acquainted soon.

Although Duan Chong is not a general, but he is funny and humorous, and he also got together with them, drinking and chatting happily.

At the table, Hehe Lele was so lively.

Just as she was having fun, suddenly a servant girl broke in from outside, her face was as pale as white paper and she knelt on the ground trembling and unable to speak for a long time.

"What exactly happened?" Xiao Junjue's expression sank, and he shouted.

Qiu Shui looked at the vivacious maid, as if she was in the carbon house.

The servant girl seemed to have been greatly stimulated, her eyes were red, "Back... back to the prince, dead... dead."

It was as if the soul was hooked away after being frightened, and after saying this stuttering sentence, the soul suddenly came back, tearing the voice and shouting: "Dead, the one-eyed princess beside the princess died in the carbon room. "

One-eyed died terribly, his whole body was burned by charcoal fire, and the flesh on his face was scorched. Even one eye was savagely inserted by the iron hook for picking up carbon, and the whole head went through, but it could be seen clearly that it was One-eyed no doubt.

"Big brother! Big brother!" The thin monkey rushed forward, trying to hug him, but he couldn't do it because his whole body was burnt and bloody, "Who is so cruel, who is so cruel to my big brother!"

Keba's knees fell limply to the ground, and using both hands and feet, he crawled to the side of the corpse, shaking his head, "How... how is it possible? No... no way. Big brother, big brother!"

Rong Zhao stared blankly at everything in front of him, Xiao Junjue hugged her in his arms to comfort her in fear of scaring her.The rest of the people were also terribly frightened, and a few little girls fainted from fright.

"How did this happen? How did this happen? He was fine before, why, why did you kill him so cruelly?" the skinny monkey shouted heartbreakingly.

Dou Da's tears rolled down and scorched Cyclopedia's body, and there was a "hiss" sound from the scorched place.

All of this happened so suddenly that people didn't expect it. Xiao Jun asked someone to help Shouhou and Keba up.

Keba kowtowed three times to Xiao Junjue, "Wang... my lord, please... please... find out who killed my elder brother, I... we must... avenge him."

Xiao Junjue's expression was stern, and the whole body was exuding a cold air, "Don't worry, this matter happened in my Chu Palace, the king will not just sit idly by, and will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

He asked: "Isn't he always with you? Why did he place an order today?"

The thin monkey wiped his tears and said: "We were together during the day, but he left shortly after the dinner started. I thought he was going out to relieve himself, but I didn't care."

Keba seemed to think of something, and said: "I... I... see... I saw him, I took... took... a big bowl, and... I also picked up a lot of dishes, and walked... walked It's over." The more anxious he was, the more he stuttered, and he couldn't speak as quickly as before.

Calculated in this way, the dinner party started at five o'clock, and before midnight, the one-eyed man was killed, which was the period between five o'clock and the discovery of the body.

The thin monkey cried: "If I knew there would be an accident, I would never let him go away. It's all my fault, why didn't I follow him out, why didn't I come out to look for him, maybe if I found him, he wouldn't have to die. "

Rong Zhao regretted, looked at Duoyan, and closed his eyes again, "Suiyan has always been easy-going, how can someone kill him so cruelly, and still use such vicious methods, it is really inhuman."

She looked at Xiao Junjue, "You must help me find the murderer, and you can't let One Eye die in ignorance. I want to know who is capable of doing this murder."

But investigating the case is not that simple. There were too many people coming and going to and from the palace that day, not counting the people in the palace for the time being, the officials and family members who came and went, the cook who was drunk with the breeze, and the singer and dancer invited by Linlang Music Square. Class of actors...

For a while, there was really no way to check.

The Chu Palace in Bashu is sad and sad, and the palace in Yuanchangge City is also full of gloom.

On the first day of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Emperor Xiao Jing just walked up the steps to the altar when he passed out.

This fainting took a whole day and night before waking up.The imperial physician said cryptically that the Holy Majesty might not be able to survive this spring.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager fainted immediately, and after waking up she couldn't stop crying, and asked the Inner Court Secretary to prepare for Emperor Xiao Jing's funeral.

Although the emperor was not her own, he was kind and forgiving and respected her like a mother.It's impossible not to be sad.It's just that people will die sooner or later, so she has to make plans early.

Seeing that King Jin is about to appoint the crown prince, if the emperor really can't survive this spring, the crown prince will immediately become the new emperor.

The emperor was not her own, and this grandson was not related by blood, and his feelings were superficial.Besides, Xiao Jinyu is not as benevolent as Xiao Jingdi, so treating her will definitely not go well.

As soon as the emperor left, she suddenly felt that she had lost her support.Now, apart from being sad, I have to think about how to get close to Jin Wang's mother and son.

And Jin Wang's mother and son were also worried, for fear that Emperor Xiao Jing would not survive the canonization of the crown prince. If Xiao Jinyu, the crown prince, was crowned as the crown prince before then, there would be chaos in the world again.

Therefore, it was all efforts to make Emperor Xiao Jing's body recover, and he had to survive the crown prince's canonization no matter what.

It was already the tenth day of the Lunar New Year when Xiao Junjue received the letter. After reading the letter, his finger holding the letter trembled slightly, and his expression changed.

There is an indescribable taste in my heart, sour, spreading from my heart to my limbs.

He didn't know how long and how many days Xiao Jingdi could live, but he knew that he would never see him again.

Once Emperor Xiao Jing passed away and Xiao Jinyu ascended the throne, he would not let the feudal lord return to Beijing for mourning, especially him, who had promised him for Rong Zhao that he would never return to Beijing.

When he left, he already knew that he would never see her again.But living and dying are different.

For so many years, he has always resented him, until now, that resentment has not disappeared, but it is really hard in his heart.

Rong Zhao leaned on the soft bed to bask in the sun, squinted his eyes and looked at his expression, seeing his abnormal expression, he plucked his sleeve, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Junjue threw the letter into the charcoal stove, pulled the corners of his mouth, "It's nothing." He knew that although Rong Zhao and Xiao Jingdi were not father and daughter, they were better than father and daughter. If he knew such news, he would be sad.

It's better to be sad late than early, the one-eyed thing has already made her frown, and I don't want to add another one to her.

Rong Zhao didn't care too much, thinking that the people below him made some mistakes in their work, which made him unhappy.

So he said: "Let's go to Qingping Temple on the fifteenth day. The wife of Duan Chong said that the temple is very effective, and I want to pray for blessings."

Xiao Jun stroked Rong Zhao's belly with his hands, and lowered his eyelids, preventing her from seeing the unconcealable sadness in his eyes.

"Okay." His voice was choked up slightly, Rong Zhao ignored it, even he himself ignored it.

Rong Zhao was happy, ignorant of world affairs, "This Mrs. Duan is quite interesting. I hated her at first, but I got to know her a lot these days, and I think she is very interesting. She always tells me some funny stories about my boss's family. You don't know, I think she is a know-it-all, and she can know whoever has something to do in Yizhou City."

Bai Shi is a self-acquaintance, since the first day of junior high school, he always visits the door every now and then.The first two times, Rong Zhao was quite unwelcoming. He was already unhappy because of his one-eyed eyes, and he wanted to entertain her, but it was not good to save Mrs. Duan's face.

In fact, Mrs. Bai is kind and knows that she is in a bad mood. Every time she comes, Mrs. Bai will tell her some short stories about her parents, which is very pleasant, and her mood gradually improves.The gossip in Bai's stomach was very rich, and Rong Zhao knew all the anecdotes in the city in just a few days.

"Mrs. Duan's daughter is more interesting." Rong Zhao looked at Xiao Junjue meaningfully, "Do you know what is interesting?"

Xiao Junjue was absent-minded, but Rong Zhao's question was still able to respond freely, and he couldn't see that he was thinking about other things, "Where?"

Rong Zhao smiled mysteriously, and said, "I found out that Miss Duan came here for an impure purpose."

Xiao Junjue's heart trembled, thinking that it was not good for Rong Zhao, "What purpose does she have? Who sent the spies?"

"What kind of spy!" Why did the man think about it, he didn't know how to observe carefully.Rong Zhao leaned against his ear, "Someone has taken a fancy to your night owl."

Xiao Junjue looked at Rong Zhao in disbelief, and Rong Zhao nodded, "She came here for Ye Xiao. I said why I come with her mother every time, but it seems like I can't sit still. You always mention the people around you intentionally or unintentionally. I just found out today that she always inquires about Ye Xiao with the maid in my room, and now, I'm afraid she knows exactly what Ye Xiao likes to eat and what she doesn't like to eat."

Xiao Junjue's eyebrows twitched slightly, if Ye Xiao could marry Duan Chong, it would be a good thing.

"Of the three of us, only Ye Xiao is left." Xiao Jun said.

Rong Zhao covered his mouth with a smile and said, "You want to be a matchmaker? When did your lord become a matchmaker?"

Xiao Junjue scratched her chubby cheeks, "I don't have time, I don't care about these things. It's just a matter of feelings, and it needs both men and women to agree with each other. I don't want to force it. So as a matchmaker, Never blend."

Rong Zhao nodded, "Because you know that if you said it, Ye Xiao would agree to this marriage whether he likes it or not."

Xiao Junjue touched her face, "Only when you have tasted love, you will know what it is like, and you also know that you can't force things about feelings."

Rong Zhao stared at him tenderly, threw himself into his arms, glanced casually out of the corner of his eyes, saw the thin monkey standing outside the door with its head drooping, and remembered the one-eyed thing again.

"How's the one-eyed case going?"

Xiao Junjue sighed, "I have no clue, the murderer is very cunning, and he didn't leave any clues. It can only be inferred from One Eye's body covered in carbon dust that the charcoal house is the scene of the first crime. Other than that, nothing was found."
