Chapter 235 The Porridge Shack (2)
It would be fine if the porridge shed was occupied by two neighbors, but there were even more shocking things.
It turned out that the beggar who was suffocated to death yesterday died outside the porridge shed in the Princess's Mansion. It was the place where he fell down. It happened to be the junction between the two porridge sheds of the Princess' Mansion and the Yongguo Duke's Mansion. Moreover, his head was still on the side of the Yongguo Duke's Mansion.
Chen Xiao was listening to the manager report yesterday when he saw a sedan chair parked opposite the porridge shed in the eldest princess's mansion. The little maid standing outside the sedan chair was Xiao Ai.
Xiao Ai is here, so there is no need to guess who is sitting in the sedan chair.
I don’t know what kind of gust of wind Ms. Hua was sucking today, so she didn’t take her large and gorgeous carriage.
Moreover, this blue cloth sedan is the kind that can be seen everywhere on the street, and it is not used by the wealthy families.
Chen Xiao frowned, pretending not to see it, and turned around and entered his own porridge shed.
But the porridge shed was too small, full of rice bags, so the air would not circulate. If it weren't much, Chen Xiao covered his nose and had to come out of the porridge shed.
Unexpectedly, he just came out and ran into Captain Yin's head.
"Sir Chen, it turns out that you are here too. It's so good, so good."
Through the joyful look on Captain Yin's face, Chen Xiao smelled the danger.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiao asked.
"That's the case. The beggar who died outside the porridge shed in the palace yesterday had already come out. It was not because he had to drink porridge to death." Captain Yin said.
The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Chen Xiao's brows frowned and said coldly: "You said that beggar died outside my porridge shed? Why did what I heard before that beggar died outside the porridge shed in the eldest princess's house?"
Captain Yin was a little embarrassed and said, "When the case was first reported to the yamen, all witnesses said they were slaughtered to death. Since the man was drinking porridge in the porridge shed in the Princess' Mansion, he was considered dead outside the porridge shed in the Princess' Mansion. However, after Luo Jie performed an autopsy, he found out that the beggar was injured in front and drinking porridge behind. It was not the porridge that killed him, but his internal injuries. In this way, the case could not be determined according to the porridge shed. According to the location of the porridge shed designated by Shuntian Mansion, the place where the beggar fell happened to be where the porridge shed was located. This place was used by the Princess' Mansion. It was archived in Shuntian Mansion and has not changed in more than ten years."
Chen Xiao snorted. He had to die before, but that was related to the eldest princess's mansion. Now he became injured and died. So the case was decided according to the place where he fell. You are bullying people.
This place is indeed used by the Duke of Yongguo Mansion, but if you are not blind, you can see how the Princess Mansion grabs territory.
When there is no murder case, you rush to use this place. If there is a murder case, will this place become mine?
Captain Yin observed his words and thought that the biggest snowstorm this winter was coming. He quickly smiled and said, "Actually, wherever the deceased died is a trivial matter, because the corpse grid is clearly written, the deceased has been injured for more than two days. Two days ago, the porridge shed at Duke Yong's mansion had not been set up, which definitely has nothing to do with your mansion."
It doesn’t matter if you have to count the crime scene to our mansion?
Chen Xiao asked, "Is Captain Yin coming here today to investigate the case?"
Captain Yin said: "To be honest with Mr. Chen, this case has been found out, but the person who committed the case has not been caught yet. Let's come here to take a look."
Since it has been found out, Chen Xiao is too lazy to ask more questions. The last time he was in the emperor's oral order to assist the eldest prince in handling the case. This time, without the sage, he could not participate.
Chen Xiao nodded and said to Captain Yin: "That's hard work, Captain Yin."
After saying that, Chen Xiao wanted to leave. He came here today, just to see how the porridge was served. Now that he has finished reading it, it’s time to go back.
"Please stay with Mr. Chen." The voice of Captain Yin came from behind.
Chen Xiao turned his head and asked, "But there is something else?"
Captain Yin felt a little embarrassed and said, "I heard that Mr. Chen knew Zhu Lu? If he knew him, could he tell Zhu Lu's whereabouts?"
Chen Xiao's brows moved slightly and asked, "Zhu Lu? Who is Zhu Lu?"
"Zhu Lu is a bandit who cut off official ships on the canal. The Ministry of Justice issued a document to arrest the sea early in the morning, but it has not been brought to justice. The current case is also related to Zhu Lu after investigation, and he is the suspect in this case."
"So that's it, but unfortunately I don't know this person." Chen Xiao denied it completely, and he had already guessed something.
Hua Jingyao also mentioned Zhu Lu to him, not only but also surrounded him. Zhu Lu moved his house several times and still dared not show up in front of others.
Sure enough, Captain Yin looked at the opposite side inadvertently, with an unconcealed disappointment on his face. He bowed to Chen Xiao and said, "It turns out that the Fourth Young Master doesn't know him either. That's our presumptuous thing. Please forgive me."
"Yes." Chen Xiao's face was not visible, and he nodded slightly and left.
When he returned to the Duke of Yongguo's mansion, Spinach quietly told him that Zhu Lu was coming and seemed to be injured and was treating Yueli.
Yue Li lives in Diancangyuan. Diancangyuan is the most remote courtyard in the entire Duke's Mansion. Before that, it had been vacant for many years. The reason why Yue Li chose to live here was because it was far away from everywhere. Even if there was wind, he would not bring the smell of dry tobacco to Chen Xiao's nose.
This is a valuable experience summarized over the past decade. If you can’t afford to offend, you can hide!
Yue Li and Shen Xiao lived with him for sixteen years. From the day Chen Xiao could speak, he hated Yue Li's smoking. When Chen Xiao was a child, the toxins in his body were not completely removed and his body was weak. Once, Yue Li insisted on vomiting because of the smell of smoke from Yue Li, and later fainted. Since then, Yue Li knew that he had a big deal and Chen Xiao was his nemesis. He could not afford to offend him or provoke him.
Now he followed Chen Xiao to the Duke's Mansion. Under the eaves of someone else's house, he couldn't even bow his head. Yue Li simply lived in this yard where birds could not shit, just to be able to take a few free mouthfuls.
I heard that Zhu Lu was in Diancangyuan, Chen Xiao looked for it without saying a word.
When he stepped into the door, he saw Zhu Lu naked, and Yue Li was treating his wound with disgust.
Seeing Chen Xiao get up, Zhu Lu hurriedly wants to get up, but Yue Li pressed him down again.
Chen Xiao sat opposite Zhu Lu and opened the right way: "You did the person who died in the porridge shed?"
"Porridge shed? What kind of porridge shed?" As soon as he moved, the wound behind him was pulled again. Zhu Lu was so painful that he blew up and asked in a hurry, "It wasn't me who did it."
"Then what's going on with your injuries?" Chen Xiao asked.
Zhu Lu hissed, grinning half of his mouth, and a fine bead of sweat oozing from his head. He looked at Mr. Chen Si, but he didn't see any pity on Mr. Shen Si's face.
The bitter plan is useless.
