in the sound of swallows

Chapter 85

Sixi was laid flat on the ground in the middle of the main hall, and Yuwen Changqing waved away the servants, leaving only Shen Guiyan as master and servant.

After drinking the hot tea, it took a while before she became conscious, and her sanity slowly returned.When Shen Guiyan raised her eyes, she saw Yuwen Changqing half-kneeling on the ground with his robe in his hands, frowning and inspecting the scars on Sixi's body.

Those wounds are really scary to look at, and it makes her jealous just once.

"It was indeed injured by a long knife. When I ask, if someone really hurt someone, he must give the deceased an explanation." After a while, Yuwen Changqing spoke softly, looked up at Shen Guiyan and said: " It's just that Young Madam is so reckless today, she actually broke into Yuwen Mansion with the corpse in her arms, which surprised others."

Trembling slightly, Shen Guiyan looked at the corpse on the ground and raised the corners of her lips numbly: "If not, how could the general really catch the murderer in the mansion? This is the life of the grassroots people, if Guiyan remains silent, Don't you want to let this murder case sink?"

Officials protect each other, and today she is here to demand justice for Sixi's family.If he was beaten to death by the guards in another house, he would have nothing to say if he wanted to file a complaint.

Yuwen Changqing raised his eyebrows, looked at her with a smile and said: "This is not something that the young lady should take care of. Isn't the young lady afraid that the general will not sell your Gu family's face in a fit of anger?"

Shen Guiyan pursed her lips: "Gui Yan doesn't want to control, but to sue. The general is not a numb and brutal person, even if he doesn't sell Gu Fu's face, he will definitely give an explanation when he learns that Yuwen Mansion is involved in the murder case. Yamen is much more useful."

In fact, in the final analysis, she knew that Yuwen Changqing and Gu Chaobei had a good relationship behind the scenes, so she dared to be so bold.I was sure that this person would not sue her, but would only help out.And what she wanted was for him to hand over the murderer and kill for his life.

When I saw this person for the first time, I was a little surprised, wondering why he appeared in the Shen residence in the middle of the night.Later, seeing him walking so close to Gu Chaobei, and being as unrestrained as him, Shen Guiyan subconsciously felt that Yuwen Changqing should also be a good person.

I don't know what to think.

"Young Madam is kind-hearted, I won't bother you about breaking into the mansion today. Just wait to find out the truth." Yuwen Changqing stood up, ordered someone to inform the yamen's office, and asked someone to ask the guards in the mansion for dispatch.

Seeing that he didn't intend to escape the guilt, Shen Guiyan relaxed a lot, leaning back in the chair, her eyes turned dark.

She seldom gets emotional, and she really lost her composure today.Now that I thought about it carefully, if I brought Sixi's corpse to Yuwen Mansion, although I could seek justice for them, I would probably end up hated by the queen again.

The majestic mother of a country, who has trouble with Xiaomin, wants to teach her a lesson and kills people wantonly.Such a person can really sit in that position for a long time?
Shen Guiyan didn't believe it.

Baoshan stood next to Shen Guiyan, watched General Yuwen go out and come in, glanced at his young lady several times, and sat on the chair opposite.

Why don't you take the chair?Baoshan looked at him curiously.

Everyone in the world knows that General Yuwen is disloyal to the emperor and acts recklessly due to the power of Luanfeng and Luanfeng.No matter how she looked at this man, she was gentle and polite, and even tolerated such a bold behavior of the young lady today.

Moreover, despite being labeled as a "murderer", this person can still smile, his attitude is really good.

What Baoshan doesn't understand is that there must be a reason for the difference in human behavior.Who is Yuwen Changqing? He is notorious for his eccentric temper. When he is happy, he can enjoy a whole house with a cup of tea.He has never looked at people's faces, even if the queen treats him with courtesy and kindness.

Why do you have such a good attitude towards Shen Guiyan?That's because he has always been curious about her, and General Yuwen is naturally very happy to have some intersections for such a reason.

After sitting for a while, a servant came in and whispered something in Yuwen Changqing's ear.He nodded, looked at Shen Guiyan and said, "Found it."

Shen Guiyan sat up straight.

"This morning, Houde once took someone out of the mansion." Yuwen Changqing got up and said, "He is going to the school ground now, does the Young Madam want to go with me?"

School grounds?Shen Guiyan was taken aback for a moment, lowered her eyes and said, "Okay."

"It just so happens that Gu Tihat is also on the school grounds. The young lady is too sad today, so it's better to go back home with Gu Tihat later." Yuwen Changqing looked at her and said, "As for the dead body, I will order it to be parked in the yamen for post-mortem examination." place."

He had arranged everything properly, so Shen Guiyan didn't say any more, and went out and got into the carriage.

"Miss, do you think General Yuwen is weird?" Baoshan sat on the carriage and muttered softly, "Isn't Yuwen Houde his relative? He doesn't even change his face. If the murderer is really him, he will If not, why don’t you personally send your relatives to the execution ground?”

Shen Guiyan laughed lowly: "You think too much, as long as it's not Yuwen Houde who did it, he will be fine. I'm going to find someone to pay for Sixi's family, but I just did it with those beasts. The rest will be involved People with high positions and important positions and complex relationships will not be able to deal with it for a while."

"Your servant understands." Baoshan nodded suddenly, but still couldn't help saying: "But that's not right, the great general, why is he so easy to talk, I always feel that there is something shining in his eyes when he looks at you. Can't tell what it is..."

"Whatever those do." Rubbing the center of his brows wearily, Shen Guiyan said: "I just hope this matter will be over soon, I'm really tired..."

I can't let go of the burden on my heart, and it takes all my strength to walk step by step.

Baoshan sighed, and rubbed her forehead considerately.

Yuwen Changqing was riding in front of the carriage. Luo Wei, the attendant beside him, glanced at the back and said softly: "The subordinates have already stopped everyone, and the one in the palace will not know about Mrs. Gu Sishao today. It's just the general , Lord Houde..."

"If it's found out that it's him, then it's him." Yuwen Changqing said: "If it wasn't for Gui Yan, I wouldn't even know about it. He was able to get the news past me, which is also a good skill. He should have a long memory gone."

Luo Wei nodded, looked at his general's expression, and added: "General, the carriage behind is Mrs. Gu Sishao."

"Well, what's the matter?" Yuwen Changqing glanced at him with the corners of his lips curled up.

"It's nothing." Luo Wei shook his head. It's good that the general knows. He just saw that the general is in a particularly good mood today, so he has some vague guesses, which is unnecessary if he thinks about it.

Soldiers were being trained on the school grounds, and the newly appointed Gu Tixia was sitting under the shed, crossing his legs and watching the recruits shoot arrows.

"Shoot at the target with all your strength." He said casually, "Don't be lazy!"
