Spring Forest Evening

The ignorant Chuntao had been coaxed and frightened by Nanny Shen several times before, so although she felt that the scene in front of her was very strange, she still followed Zhou Heng and Chunyu back to the palace without saying a word. He even offered to help run errands to the outer courtyard to see if the prince was there.

The answer I got from the elder guard was that the prince was not in the mansion. As for where he went, the other party only informed him after Chuntao moved out of Nanny Shen's banner that the prince had gone to Liuhu.

Chun Yu persuaded Zhou Heng to take a break first: "Miss Biao, please stay calm and rest more in the past two days. Your head injury is not fully healed yet, and the prince will be back in the afternoon."

Zhou Heng thought for a while, and asked her: "Then what will happen to the corpses caught in the lake?" They won't be kept by the lake forever, will the government send someone to take away the corpses for autopsy or something?

The answer he got was indeed the same, so Zhou Heng made a decisive decision: "Either we also go to find the prince and see who is caught."

Chun Yu was a little hesitant: "After soaking in the water for two days, you must have a hideous face. Don't stain your eyes, Miss."

"It's okay, it's in broad daylight, just take a look, don't be afraid." The more Zhou Heng thought about it, the more he felt that it was best to take a look as soon as possible, and comforted her: "Anyway, didn't the lord tell you to listen to me, don't worry, what does the boatman look like?" , now I should be the only one who recognizes it, so it’s better to go and see it sooner.”

There was still a dull pain on the head, probably because the congestion hadn't melted away, and the two wives of the Zhou family had patted the swollen place just now, reminding themselves to reveal the truth of this matter as soon as possible.

In this way, forgetting about the journey in this world, and returning to his own world refreshingly, Zhou Heng felt that he would have no regrets in his heart.

Chun Yu is not a hesitant person either. After hearing this, she asked Chun Tao to report to Nanny Shen, and at the same time sent someone to re-harness the car: "Okay, I will listen to Miss."

After that, the three of them boarded the carriage again and went to Liuhu Lake.

When it was almost noon, I saw Shen Fu waiting for her by the lake under the bright sun. This gave Zhou Heng a new understanding of the handling capacity of Prince Jing's Mansion. Shen Fu even clicked on her directly after seeing her. The head said: "Don't be afraid, come with me, Mr. Zhou is also here."

It seems that someone from Chun Yu's side has already reported the whole incident to Shen Fu, so Zhou Heng followed him silently to a nearby thatched shed that looked like it was built temporarily. .

According to Shen Fu, the body of the dead woman was placed in the thatched shed, while the other male corpse was placed on the ground under a willow tree not far from the shed, presumably because of his identity. There is no need to think of any reason to see that someone is treated differently.

It is said that although the female corpse's face was swollen and she could hardly recognize her face, but after being identified by the maids in the Zhou Mansion, she was wearing the same dress that Zhou Heng had worn on the lake tour the day before, and even a pair of pearl earrings were her plain clothes. Rili's favorite, so when they fished it up with the male corpse, even Zhou Yan, who knew that his daughter was still alive, was dumbfounded, almost foaming at the mouth and fainting.

Shen Fu's words were a little cryptic, Zhou Heng, a modern girl, couldn't understand how harmful the phrase "catch it together" was to an ancient girl even if she was dead, and only thought of one detail:

"My lord, isn't this too strange? Could it be that they prepared the exact same clothes in advance? These must have something to do with the people in the mansion, right? And the pearl earring, I gave it to the coachman, and You can send someone to check the hairpin on your head."

"It seems that this matter was premeditated. Presumably the person behind it doesn't really care whether I die or not. What they want is to confirm that Miss Zhou fell into the water and drowned, right?"

"That's not right. It should be said that they thought I was going to die, but after two days of fishing, they didn't find anyone. The Zhou family insisted that if they didn't find anyone, they were still alive, so they found another corpse. The purpose was to let everyone die." You know, people cannot be brought back to life after death, Miss Zhou's family is doomed!"

These words provoked Shen Fu to stop and glance at her, this girl was quite open-minded, she kept saying that she was dead.

Zhou Heng didn't know what he meant, and asked with some doubts: "What's the matter? Is there something wrong? Didn't I swear to you about the coachman? But there is a half-truth, I will stay here as a What about the old girl who can't get married, so don't worry, I won't make things difficult for myself. "

Well, I did swear, Shen Fu felt a little uncomfortable, so he changed the subject and asked her: "Did you meet Miss San in the Zhou Mansion? Is it the same person you met in Tianxiang Tower the day before yesterday? "

These words immediately aroused Zhou Heng's interest, and he quickly nodded to indicate that the two are indeed the same person: "Yes, you said that, but it made me think that the third lady sent someone to do it secretly Tricked? After all, she is Miss Zhou, so this kind of thing should still be possible. "

Shen Fu nodded: "Tell Master Zhou about this later, and ask him to pay attention to Miss San."

Having said that, the two went outside the thatched shed.

Zhou Heng lived to be 30 years old, not to mention dead people, even dead animals, and he had only seen chickens, ducks and fish in the freezer in the supermarket, so although he had the idea of ​​avenging Huang Momo and others, when it came to him, he still felt like He was very frightened, not knowing what a horrible way the corpse soaked in water would be, so he couldn't help but grabbed the sleeve of Shen Fu who was walking in front.

Shen Fu felt that his sleeves were being pulled, looked back, and saw a slender hand grabbing his black robe, black and white under the sun, for a while, although he felt that this was a bit procrastinating, he couldn't bear to let her Letting go, the pace slowed down a bit, seeing that the two of them were walking side by side.

A wooden plank was placed on the two benches in the thatched shed. On the wooden plank was a corpse covered with a white cloth. It seemed to be the female corpse picked up from the lake. Looking at the two young masters of the Zhou family with the same tired expression.

Seeing Shen Fu approaching, Zhou Yan was about to get up to say hello, but he saw Zhou Heng behind him at a glance.

Xu is a father-daughter bond. Although Zhou Heng's current dress and appearance are quite different from Miss Qianjin, Zhou Yan, as a father, still recognized his daughter at a glance, so he opened his mouth excitedly and called her: "Ah Heng—"

Fortunately, they knew right away when the words came out. The two sons didn't know that their sister was still alive, so they added a quick wit and abruptly: "She, she knows that you value love and righteousness so much, so she can rest assured!"

These words are actually a bit inexplicable, and the two sons behind Zhou Yan couldn't help but look puzzled: the prince has been here for two hours, why did the father suddenly say such words excitedly?

Shen Fu also reacted quickly. Seeing the appearance of the two cousins, he nodded and accepted Zhou Yan's words: "Uncle, you are being polite. Ah Heng has encountered such an accident, and Prince Jing's Mansion should contribute to it."

"Furthermore," after a pause, Zhuangruo casually mentioned the body of the boatman who was picked up: "Wu Zuo has also finished examining the man's body now, I don't know if there is anything new..." As he spoke, he looked slightly sideways. Get down behind Zhou Heng.

The intention of this action is obvious, and Zhou Yan figured it out after a little thought. It must be his daughter who wanted to identify the male corpse. He felt distressed and proud. He never thought that the baby girl who was raised from a young age would be like this now. After being able to stand it, he immediately said with moist eyes: "That's right! If that's the case, let's go and have a look."

He ordered his two sons to continue to guard, and he did not let the young man follow him. He led the two of them out of the thatched shed and went down to the willow tree not far away.

"Aheng," seeing no one left and right, Zhou Yan took a few steps back and walked to Zhou Heng's side, and told his daughter very distressedly: "Don't be afraid, there is daddy here, take a good look later, is it the one that hurt you earlier?" The thief!"

"It's his, if it really is him, don't worry, after the test is over, I will find someone later, even if he dies..." At the end of the talk, considering that my daughter is a girl, I held back the words behind, hmph, Anyway, just don't let this thief reincarnate properly!

Zhou Heng didn't answer, and only said softly: "I'm fine, don't worry!" It was an explanation to the two men in front of him.

Shen Fu kept walking forward without making a sound, only slowed down a little, and when he was about to reach the willow tree, he turned his head and comforted Zhou Heng in a low voice: "If you are afraid at that time, you will not recognize it. It doesn't matter, just leave now."

Zhou Yan, who was next to his daughter, was very relieved when he said this. Yes, unlike the nameless female corpse in the thatched shed, the male corpse lying under the tree is the murderer who killed Ah Heng. Well it will be scary.

Thinking of this made me feel distressed again. Fortunately, the daughter next to me whispered "um", but she didn't stop there or show a look of fear, so she also whispered: "Yes, listen to the prince, if you think If you don't feel well, let's go!"

Afterwards, the three of them walked under the willow tree. A stout old man with rolled up sleeves and wearing a coarse cloth robe greeted him with a bow and bowed his head and reported: "My lord, Mr. Zhou, the little one has finished his experience. The family members of the deceased I have also come to recognize the person, if there is no problem, I can ask them to take the person back in the afternoon."

"Oh?" Shen Fu pulled Zhou Heng's sleeve with his hand to signal her to follow, and at the same time told the old man: "So you have confirmed that the boatman is in good health and did not suffer any injuries?"

In fact, Zhou Heng felt a little shadowy about the boatman who picked up the oars and beat him as if nothing had happened at that time. Seeing the corpse lying on the ground with a pair of big feet swollen with blisters facing him, he even remembered the nightmare he had before. It just so happened that Shen Fu pulled his sleeve at this moment, and reflexively, he also grabbed his sleeve with his backhand.

Although it was a bit strange to see a girl dressed as a maid following Prince Jing to see a dead man, but thinking that the maids in Prince Jing's mansion were well-informed and courageous, curious and unknown, he didn't say much.

So Zhou Heng pulled Shen Fu's sleeve and tried to pluck up the courage to go forward...
