Dad, Did You Study Today?

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent, as if everyone's breathing was frozen.

In fact, when Shen Li said this, although he was laughing, the chill was chilling.

Xu Ningyuan frowned, took two steps forward, glanced at the corpse in the pit, turned around and ordered one of his personal soldiers, "Surround this place!"

The personal soldiers received the order and executed it immediately.

Everyone knows that Xu Ningyuan brought a battalion of personal soldiers back to Beijing this time.

Moreover, this is not an ordinary personal soldier, this is an elite reinforced battalion!

Xu Ningyuan's reaction made Su Heng's heart sink. He turned to look at Xu Ningyuan, "What does General Xu mean?"

Xu Ningyuan said bluntly: "Didn't you say that the things buried here might belong to Rongyang Hou? If it is possible, then be cautious. After all, everyone is doing things according to the order. When you count the things, don't lose anything, otherwise it will be difficult to report in the future!"

Duan Kangbo laughed in anger at that time.

"General Xu, are you afraid that we will steal the bones?"

Xu Ningyuan snorted and laughed, "Even fakes are stolen, so it's possible that bones are stolen!"

"You" Duan Kangbo was immediately furious, but he couldn't afford to offend Xu Ningyuan, so he just said one word in a threatening manner, then flicked his sleeves and shut up.

Xu Ningyuan smiled contemptuously.

His personal guards arrived almost at the same time as Jingzhao Yin.

To be precise, Jingzhao Yin came in, and the yard was surrounded by an elite battalion of the Northwest Army.

The posture was obvious. Whoever wanted to get out of here had to ask the Northwest Army for their fists first!

Jingzhao Yin came in trembling with cold sweat, and as soon as he came in, he looked for Su Heng's figure in the crowd. After finding him, he looked directly at him: Sir, what do you mean?

Su Heng just glanced at him coldly, without giving him any more expression.

Jingzhao Yin was panicking. He waited for a long time but didn't get any signal from Su Heng. He couldn't delay any longer, so he had to bite the bullet and said to Shen Li: "Commander Shen"

Shen Li pointed directly into the pit, "Murder."

Jingzhao Yin saw the bones in the pit, panted and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at the people around him from the corner of his eyes.

Shen Li, can't be offended.

Xu Ningyuan, can't be offended.

Marquis Qingyang, can't be offended.

Su Heng didn't give him a wink, so he can't be offended.

Duan Kangbo, ignore it.

The ignored Duan Kangbo met Jingzhao Yin's furtive glance, and suddenly.?

Jingzhao Yin retracted his gaze and did some psychological preparation.

Since Su Heng didn't give him any hints, it means.Official business is handled impartially?

After the general policy was determined, Jingzhao Yin called the coroner from his government office and entered the pit.

The coroner examined the body, and Jingzhao Yin looked around carefully.

At Shen Li's signal, the servants of Zhou Mansion continued to dig the pit. As the pit became larger, more and more bones were exposed.

Originally, Zhou Qing thought that there were only one or two bodies buried here, but unexpectedly, more than a dozen bodies have been dug out so far.

What is this, a mass grave?

Su Heng's expression was ugly at first, but as more and more bodies were found, he somehow completely relaxed, as if he was watching a play, with a playful look in his eyes, watching the fun.

The Marquis of Qingyang stood beside Duan Kangbo, glanced at Su Heng, and said sarcastically in a low voice: "Shen He has been with the Duke of Zhenguo for many years, right?"

A playboy like the Marquis of Qingyang rarely talked to people like Duan Kangbo. At this time, he suddenly spoke, and Duan Kangbo looked at him unexpectedly.

Marquis Qingyang shrugged, "I'm just trying to persuade you that you shouldn't be too honest. Tell me, if Shen He is found guilty of something, will your Duke save him?"

Without waiting for Duan Kangbo to react, Marquis Qingyang pouted and said, "I think it's difficult. If he really wants to save him, Shen He can't be driven out of his own house!"

After that, Marquis Qingyang sighed, walked to the edge of the pit, squatted on the edge and shouted to the coroner below, "Have you found anything?"

The coroner glanced at Jingzhao Yin, and seeing that his master didn't stop him, he said respectfully to Marquis Qingyang, "So far, eight female corpses and six male corpses have been found, all of them were poisoned."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qing suddenly thought of something.

That dowry list!

The dowry list of Huang Chen that Shen Li gave her!

The dowry list not only recorded Shen Li's dowry property, but also the dowry personnel at that time.

Huang Chen married from Jiangnan to Kyoto, which was a distant marriage, and her family brought a lot of people to her.

Four maids, two maids, and two cooks.

One manager, two drivers, and three servants, one of whom is good at martial arts.

The number matches.

Zhou Qing looked at Shen Li in a hurry. Shen Li met Zhou Qing's gaze and nodded gently. Zhou Qing felt as if his whole body was whipped by a thorny iron whip.

Could the fourteen bodies below be the dowry of Huang Chen back then?

Realizing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but step forward.

She looked at the white bones below, her fingertips cold.

A servant below reported to Shen Li, "Sir, there are no more."

Shen Li hummed and said nothing else. Zhou Qing slowly retracted his gaze and turned to look at Shen He.

"Where are the people who came with my mother's dowry? After my mother left, how did you settle them?"

Zhou Qing chose to be straightforward.

Shen He was directly confused by Zhou Qing's question.

Dowry?

What dowry?

A servant at the bottom of the pit lifted the bones up with a wooden board and placed them one by one under the scorching sun on the ground.

Men and women were divided into two sides.

Shen He looked at the bones and felt sick. He frowned and said to Zhou Qing: "Didn't I return your mother's dowry to you? Why..."

"My mother's dowry is not just about the shop and banknotes, right? When my mother married you, she had followers as a dowry, right?

If I remember correctly, the dowry list clearly stated six men and eight women."

Boom!

Shen He shuddered and staggered back.

Six, eight.

He looked at the bones on one side and swallowed his saliva.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Your mother's dowry, after your mother died, I sent all those people back to their hometown!

You want to slander me?

Do you hate me so much? You slandered Mingzhu as a child born out of wedlock, and robbed my house, and now you want to slander me for murder?"

Zhou Qing sneered, "You sent them back to their hometown yourself?"

Shen He didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Of course, this kind of thing is handled by the mistress of the house!"

Zhou Qing said, "My mother just left, and the mistress of the house is already her biological sister Huang?"

Zhou Qing asked aggressively.

Shen He knew that if he answered yes at this time, it would be an indirect acknowledgement of what Zhou Qing said before.

But if he said no

What if these corpses were really...

Shen He took a breath, "She is your mother's biological sister, and it is most appropriate for her to deal with the people left by your mother."

After Shen He finished speaking, before Zhou Qing could speak, Marquis Lide and Marquis Qingyang came to Shen He from the left and right.
