Chapter 597： wash your face

Chapter 597 Washing your face

As evening approached, Lin Jinxiao led Peng Pai and a group of guards back to the city.

When he arrived at Deshu Ning Courtyard, seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, he just shook his head sadly.

From his eyes, Chu Nanzhi could see that they had been tossing and tossing for half a day, but they would definitely achieve nothing.

Then quietly staring at the depressed face, Chu Nanzhi smiled casually: "Everyone, don't be discouraged, today's case is indeed a bit strange, if it wasn't for the guidance of an expert, even I have never had any problems. You can tell, I really can't blame everyone, I just blame this murderer for being too cunning and capable."

"Does the princess already know who killed Lin Erlang?"

Peng Pai's eyes suddenly lit up, and the previous depression immediately disappeared a lot.

When the new official took office, he encountered such a difficult murder case. If he could not solve it, he would feel ashamed.

"Of course, County Magistrate Peng doesn't need to mobilize a large number of people to search and arrest anymore. I will give you an explanation now."

Chu Nanzhi stared at the calm and composed Ji Wanying with evil eyes, and said with a sneer: "This will save Princess Wanying from worrying about my ineffective Erlang."

"Biao sister-in-law is serious, and the slave family is just worried that this matter will damage her reputation and let the rumors in the city hurt her cousin."

Looking at Lin Jinxiao, whose face was as cold as autumn water, Ji Wanying's attitude became much more docile, her voice was soft and soft, and her eyes were full of grievances after being wronged.

"Then I really need more princess sisters."

Chu Nanzhi's eyes paused for a moment, then gradually darkened, his eyes swept past her like a blade, then looked straight at Yin Liuxuan, and said in a solemn voice: "Excuse me, Young Master Yin, this time out of Beijing, Princess Wanying Who is there with you?"

A flash of surprise flashed across Yin Liuxuan's face, and he glanced at the crowd blankly, not knowing what she wanted to do, so he could only answer carefully in a daze: "Reporting to the princess, the princess has eight guards when she leaves Beijing this time, and Four palace maids, plus a groom, a total of thirteen people came along."

"it is good."

Chu Nanzhi nodded in thought, and pleaded with Lin Jinxiao in a serious tone: "Please send the people around the Princess to come to Shu Ning Yuan for questioning, Your Highness."

"Why does my cousin tell the people around my family at will? They were all rewarded to my family by the emperor's grandmother and mother."

Ji Wanying slightly trembled her brows, looked at Lin Jinxiao pitifully, and begged coquettishly, "Cousin, my cousin is going to bully my little sister, and the imperial grandmother loves you so much, are you going to let my cousin treat me like this?"

Facing her low-pitched, almost earnest eyes, Lin Jinxiao did not blink, and directly ordered He Ying: "Hurry up and bring all the people the princess wants to Shu Ning Yuan."

"cousin."

Ji Wanying twisted her slender waist aggrieved and fearful, wanting to protest.

Seeing that no one was stopping him, He Ying led the people and ran out in a hurry without looking back.

Only then did Chu Nanzhi seriously look at the two maids beside Ji Wanying, and said in detail to everyone: "Since Lin Erlang entered Puluo'an to assassinate me, and then the court envoy was assassinated, until today, the person behind the incident seems to have disappeared. , but they don't know that this person has been hiding in the city, ready to move, it's not that this person is so clever, it's just that someone is protecting her."

Looking at her extremely firm eyes, Yin Sinian began to feel faintly uneasy.

My nephew's daughter-in-law has handled many cases and has already gained a reputation. With her style of acting, she must have full confidence in suspecting that a person is not the empty talk of those people in the market.

Since the princess entered the door, the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law have been fighting against each other and suspecting each other. Her actions at this time may definitely confirm that the recent incidents have something to do with the princess.

What he couldn't understand was, how could the little princess frame the princess?

While hesitating, Lin Jinxiao already had an idea in his mind.

Before, I was still joking with my wife, thinking that the person who wanted to harm her was out of jealousy, but I never thought it would come true.

Taking the small piece of skin from Chu Nanzhi, Lin Jinxiao led her to sit in the hall in a slow and unrestrained manner, carefully looking at the clues that Lin Jinhong had saved with his life.

The room was silent for a long time, and with He Ying's return, the hall immediately exploded.

"Princess, these reckless men brought the slaves from the mansion without saying a word, the princess should be the master of the slaves."

There was a chorus of screams, causing no peace inside or outside the courtyard.

"To shut up."

Yin Sinian slapped the table heavily with a dull slap, and all of them turned livid in fright and immediately fell silent.

Chu Nanzhi inspected the crowd, and said casually: "Sang Qi, order someone to fetch hot water."

"Yes."

Sang Qi responded immediately and went out.

The room began to whisper again: "What are you doing to get hot water?"

"Who knows."

Amidst the whispers, Sang Qi led the restaurant's handyman to bring in many pots of hot water one after another.

Chu Nanzhi shouted at the group of maids and guards who were looking around: "All of you have washed your faces for this palace, and you must wash them spotlessly."

The guards and maids who were brought in were forcibly taken away by the leaders of He Ying to wash their faces in panic.

Looking at the identical faces after washing, Ji Wanying suddenly became furious and said, "What is cousin sister-in-law going to do today? Do you really think that by becoming the concubine of Prince Pingning's mansion, she will be able to look down upon the world, No one cares anymore?"

Chu Nanzhi focused on looking at the maids and guards who had washed their faces, and there was really nothing strange.

After carefully checking the crowd, she suddenly turned to look at He Ying, and asked solemnly, "Why is there one person missing?"

These words directly reminded Lin Jinxiao. He suddenly remembered that when Yuanlai Restaurant opened, his teacher's wife Ji Huazhen had said that there was a groom beside the princess, who was very skilled. That's why the teacher's wife was relieved that she would go out alone.

"Where's the groom?"

Lin Jinxiao looked at Ji Wanying with sharp eyes, and asked directly with a cold tone.

"Groom, groom, he is half a century old, and he is a rough man, can he still do evil things?"

Ji Wanying anxiously argued: "Everyone has seen my groom. He is nothing special, and he is not the person in the portrait."

"It is precisely because he has nothing special that people will not notice."

Seeing her guilty look, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sneer and said, "Since the princess thinks he is not suspicious, why don't you dare to call him out, he is just a groom driving a horse, so why should the princess still risk getting caught? To protect him at the risk of being questioned by everyone?"

"I"

Ji Wanying looked sadly at Yin Sinian, who had her head buried, but her gaze fell straight to Lin Jinxiao, and she called out in a trembling voice, "Cousin."

Yin Si Nian end sighed helplessly, then lowered his head even lower.

Lin Jinxiao's eyes were full of coldness, and he drew his sword out of anger, and pointed it at Ji Wanying's neck, the chill pierced his heart: "Please also ask the princess to hand over the man."
