Chapter 136 Two Witnesses
There is a spacious street outside the teahouse, and it is the time to go to the yamen. There are people on the street, sedan chairs and cars.
In midsummer, although it is almost dusk, it still doesn't feel cool, and pedestrians will still subconsciously walk under the trees.
Chen Feng, the second wife of the Shen family, walked alone on the road without taking his entourage.
On the second floor of the teahouse not far away, Zhang Shier, who was looking at the street view by the window, saw Chen Feng and called Miss Hua.
Miss Hua looked at it and turned around and walked away. Only Young Master Zhang was still watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street.
Suddenly, Zhang Shier Young Master suddenly turned around and stopped when he saw Chen Feng.
At this time, a man passed by him, and a small cart drove over at this moment. The two people and a car briefly overlapped and soon separated.
Then, Chen Feng staggered and lay on the ground.
Young Master Zhang Shier was stunned at first, then exclaimed. Miss Hua and Gong Liu heard this and returned to the window one after another.
At that time, whether it was Mr. Zhang, Miss Hua and Gong Liu, their attention was all on Shen Feng, and Chen Feng was shining on his back, which was a knife.
So next, a few people left the window and ran out of the teahouse.
From the time when Zhang Shier Young Master Zhang was the first to find Chen Feng fall down until they left the teahouse, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Feng, and no one noticed that person and the small cart with a cloth shed.
A moment later, Shi Yi found a small cart with a cloth shed on the corner of the street. There were broken ice cubes covered with white cotton quilts, and small jars containing lotus seeds, lotus root diced lotus, and chicken head rice.
The owner of this cart should be a seller of ice bowls.
The cart was parked alone on the corner of the street, and a child reached out to his mind, wanting to eat ice bowls but couldn't find someone to sell ice bowls.
As for the person who passed by Chen Feng, and the person who pushed the cart here, they had long disappeared without a trace.
Gong Liu asked his servant to buy a door panel, and Chen Feng's body was placed on the door panel and carried back to Shuntian Mansion.
Gong Liu walked halfway through the way and found that Hua Jingyao and Zhang Shier Young Master did not come with him.
"Where is Miss Hua?" Gong Liu asked hurriedly. As for that boy Zhang Shier, he would die wherever he loved, so he was too lazy to ask.
Qin Wei said: "Miss Hua and Shier discovered some clues and went to investigate the case."
"Investigate the case? What about you, why don't you go?" Oh my God, that guy Zhang Shier was actually with Miss Hua. Is this guy trying to dig his corner?
"Have you ever seen a court chief go to investigate the case personally? But after I arrive at the yamen, I will send Captain Yin to assist them." Qin Wei Youyou said.
"A lonely man and widowed woman investigate the case together? Old Qin, are you not afraid that Princess Zhaoyang will scold you to death?" Gong Liu gritted his teeth. Zhang Shier must have secretly bribed Qin Wei, this corrupt official!
"Nonsense, they each have their own followers, bright and bright world, broad daylight, twelve full of reading sacred books, Miss Hua has not yet reached the end, so why has she become the lonely man and widow in your mouth? Xiaoliu, I will see Commander Gong the next day, and it's time to talk to him." Qin Wei looked serious.
"You, you!" Gong Liu pointed at Qin Wei's nose, so angry that he couldn't speak. The scholar was so hateful. What should he do if he wanted to bite people?
Outside the teahouse, Miss Hua looked up at the window above, where Mr. Zhang Shier saw Chen Feng.
"Miss Xiuxiu is good at using painting to describe what she sees and hears. You should be able to do it too, right?" Hua Jingyao asked suddenly.
Zhang Shier and Miss Xiuxiu are both descendants of Mr. Fengyang. Zhang Shier is also the legitimate branch of the eldest family and is the most outstanding descendant of the Zhang family's generation. Miss Xiuxiu is talented, and even if Zhang Shier does not have one, he can still be a little bit of a fur.
Young Master Zhang Shier was stunned and a little ashamed, saying, "You can draw, but you may not be as meticulous as my cousin."
"It's okay, let's try drawing one of the twelve young masters." Hua Jingyao said with a smile.
The teahouse is doing business in the Hanlin Academy. Most of the customers are scholars, and there are often guests who recite poems and paintings here. Therefore, the teahouse has ready-made pens, ink, paper, ink, ink, ink, and paint.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Shierjun painted the scene he saw in front of the window today into three small paintings.
In the first painting, several locust trees on the roadside have lush branches and leaves. Chen Feng walked alone under the tree, walking calmly, obviously not walking fast;
In the second painting, Chen Feng had turned around, and on the outside of him was a small cart with a cloth shed. Looking closely, there was a man sandwiched between the cart and Chen Feng. The man only showed half of his shoulder, while the man pushing the cart only showed his legs. This was drawn from the angle from the top to the bottom. Therefore, the upper body of the cart was covered by the cloth shed on the cart. Obviously, what the painter saw was the cloth shed;
In the third painting, Chen Feng lay on the ground, with a knife tip exposed behind him.
Hua Jingyao took these three paintings and was able to see them with concentration.
At this time, Shi Yi walked in from outside and said, "Girl, the little one found the owner of the cart. It was Old Man Shi who sold ice bowls at Baizi Bridge. Old Man Shi said that someone gave him twenty taels of silver this afternoon, bought the cart, and bought it together with the ingredients for making ice bowls. Old Man Shi's cart was already ragged, and the ingredients were not worth two taels of silver. Someone gave him twenty taels, which was enough for him to have a year or two of food and clothing. He naturally sold the cart without saying a word."
"Baizi Bridge? It's not far from here." Hua Jingyao asked thoughtfully, "Has Old Man Shi brought it here? Did he say what kind of person he was?"
"Old man Shi received the money and was drinking in a small winery. The young man had already brought him. In addition, two people saw Old man Shi selling the car to that person with his own eyes. These two witnesses also came together."
As he said that, Shi Yi clapped his hands, and his two young followers pushed an old man into the private room.
The old man was thin and dry, but had a red rosacea nose, which looked very funny. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "I didn't steal it or rob it. I sold my own car. Why do you catch me? Is there any other way to do this?"
This person is obviously the old man Shi who sells ice bowls.
Hua Jingyao looked at the other two people who came in with the two young followers again.
These two have their own characteristics. One of them is white and fat, with a smile, a board under his armpit, and a bulging cloth bag in his hand. Hua Jingyao felt that this person was a bit kind, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
Another man was wearing a monk's robe, his big and naked head was shining, and he turned out to be a monk!
When the monk saw Hua Jingyao, he was stunned and turned around and was about to escape. He was pulled back by Shi Yi's follower Fuxing.
Fu Xing is a clan of a family. Although he is not as powerful as Shi Ding's natural divine power, his hands are not small. The monk was so sharp that he screamed, but he still stubbornly stuttered his neck and turned his face back.
