The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 183 I Don't Know
Without giving Zhao Lu a chance to repent, Xiao Yu followed up and asked: "I must have misremembered. What other characteristics does the beggar have? Do you still remember him? Is he taller than you?"

Zhao Lu frowned, feeling a little irritable in his heart, "Shouldn't be taller than me, I can't tell that he is bent over."

"The mole at the end of his eye is on the left side."

Xiao Yu squinted his eyes and stared at Zhao Lu, Zhao Lu frowned again, with several deep creases between his brows.

"To the right."

"Have you seen this beggar before? Or is this the first time you've seen him? Do you know his name? Did you speak to him during the fight? Was his accent native?"

"The prince asked so many questions in one breath, which one should I answer first?"

Zhao Lu couldn't turn his head, his tone was a little hasty, and he was no longer as calm as before.

Lu Shengming and He Li looked at each other and vaguely understood Xiao Yu's meaning.

Lu Shengming immediately slapped the gavel, causing Zhao Lu to tremble subconsciously in fright, "Tell the truth when the prince asks you, and let you go back after speaking, don't hesitate."

He scolded in a low voice, this attitude obviously made Zhao Lu uncomfortable, but he endured it, and said in a deep voice: "I have never seen that beggar, I am a decent son, what are you doing staring at the beggar? I didn’t speak, I don’t know if he is a local, let alone what his name is.”

"Is there any question, my lord?" Zhao Lu turned to look at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "There is no problem. Since you said that you killed by mistake and there is no other evidence to prove that you did it deliberately, then you are temporarily acquitted and released, but please don't leave the capital for the time being. Maybe I'll talk to you again in a few days."

Zhao Lu was slightly annoyed, and opened his mouth to say something, Xiao Yu glanced over, and said coldly: "Third Young Master, please understand, this king is not discussing with you, when you can enter and leave the capital at will, this king has the final say .”

As she spoke, she picked up the teacup on the table, flicked the tea leaves lightly, and took a sip slowly. Zhao Lu stood there in embarrassment, and looked at Lu Shengming and He Li after a while, "Farewell."

Lu Shengming nodded, pretending to be very serious, but as soon as the person left the door, he quickly looked at Xiao Yu and asked in a low voice: "What does the lord think? The questions you asked just now are testing him?"

He Li also said: "Yes, why did the lord ask those words just now? It doesn't feel like asking casually, but the officials are dull and can't understand the deep meaning of the lord, can you ask the lord to clarify?"

"clatter--"

Xiao Yu gently put down the lid of the teacup, "I'm not testing him, I'm blowing him up, this man looks too calm, he seems to have been prepared, I'm just disturbing his preparations, people Once panicked, the fox tail can't hide."

"My lord, what kind of tail did you see?" Lu Shengming was still a little confused.

Xiao Yu was just getting the teacup, and his eyes swept over the two of them, "It's very simple, if the two adults meet a beggar for the first time and fight him, will they remember what he looks like?"

He Li touched his chin: "Yes, I will remember it more or less. If I still kill that person, the impression will definitely be deeper."

Lu Shengming nodded in agreement: "It's impossible to have no memory at all, but it's hard to say how much you can remember."

Xiao Yu bent his lips: "Then do you still remember what that beggar looked like? Tell me as much as you can remember. Come one by one, Master Lu will tell you first."

Lu Shengming frowned and fell into deep thought, "The beggar is not very tall, nor strong, but of medium build. After a good grooming, he is still fair. If the swelling of the facial features subsides, he should be quite upright."

"Any more?"

Lu Shengming shook his head: "No, that's all I remember."

"What about Mr. He?" Xiao Yu didn't express any opinion immediately, but turned to look at He Li.

He Li: "It's roughly the same as Master Lu said. One thing is that the beggar's hands look white. Although they look a little dirty, they don't look like beggars all year round, and there are no calluses. The clothes on his body don't fit well. I don't know why. Where did it come from?"

Xiao Yu's eyes were deep: "Where's his face? How much do you remember?"

He Li licked his lips, "Hmm... she's pretty, with a straight nose, I can't remember the rest."

"it is good."

Xiao Yu propped his arm on the armrest, resting his chin with one hand, and lightly tapped his cheek with his index finger, "Did you find out, you didn't mention the beggar's eyebrows or eyes."

"Brows and eyes?" He Li leaned forward slightly, "His eyebrows and eyes are nothing special."

Lu Shengming was also at a loss, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he clapped his hands violently, and said excitedly: "My lord means that we didn't remember the beggar's facial features after looking at them for a long time, but Zhao Lu remembered the look at the end of his eyes." What color is the mole, it's strange, isn't it?"

Xiao Yu looked at him with a smile, showing gratified eyes, "Lord Lu is sharp, that's what I mean, it was the first time we saw a beggar that day, in order to solve the case, we checked the beggar's body repeatedly, but we didn't Pay attention to whether there are moles at the end of the beggar's eyes, and Zhao Lu fought with the beggar, but he remembered the color of the moles at the end of his eyes so clearly, isn't it strange?"

"It's not easy to explain, right? Didn't the prince also remember the mole?"

He Li asked back, but Xiao Yu suddenly smiled, "Actually——I don't know at all."

"what?"

Lu Shengming and He Li spoke in unison, and then looked at each other, "The prince doesn't know? Then why did you ask..."

Xiao Yu moved his index finger up and clicked the end of his right eye, "I said I lied to him. I didn't know that the beggar had a mole at the end of his eye beforehand. What I said was actually me."

He Li took a closer look: "Hey! This is a red mole, my lord. I didn't notice it before I was appointed as an official!"

"Yes, you and I have met so many times, far and near, but you didn't find it. This is normal."

Lu Shengming was still a little puzzled: "Since that's the case, why didn't the lord use other tricks? For example, scars?"

Xiao Yu straightened up and shook his head: "When we talk about the same thing, we always habitually ignore the same information and find out the difference at the first time. For example, we were all talking about beggars just now, you guys What is the most impressive description of each other? Think carefully."

Lu Shengming looked at He Li: "Master He said that man's hands don't look like beggars."

He Li raised his eyebrows: "What Mr. Lu said is nothing special, and what I say is almost the same."

"That's it. Look, isn't it different and more noticeable? If someone tells you that the hands are black and rough, Mr. He, will you refute them?"

He Li said without thinking, "Of course."
