Chapter 1 Corpse
"Boom!"

"It's dry, be careful with candles!"

The sound of clappers resounded through the quiet streets, and Pingyang City was covered in darkness. There was neither moon nor wind tonight, and there were no lights hanging in every house. Birds were singing from nowhere. It was after the curfew, and there was no one around.

"what!"

A piercing scream came, breaking the silence of Pingyang City.

"Come on! Someone is dead!"

The watchman hurriedly ran to hear the sound, and the street came back to life in an instant, and the doors were opened at the sound.

"What happened?"

Curious heads popped out of the door one by one.

"During the curfew, no noise is allowed! Go back, go back first, I'll go and have a look!"

Running further, the tallest three-story building on Suzaku Street was already brightly lit, the door was wide open, and the people inside were in a mess.

Wen Yulou.

One of the most prestigious Fengyue Fields in Pingyang City, after the curfew at this moment, when the gate was opened, it was still overcrowded, and the music was not interrupted, but people were in a mess, and headless flies rushed out of the door.

"Stop playing, stop playing, everyone is dead, why play!"

The tune he played was Encountering Happiness, the tune was cheerful and joyful, quite suitable for the occasion at the moment, even the rhythm was faster and more urgent, it seemed that the luthier deliberately made fun of people.

The player who plays the qin is a qin master who just came to Pingyang recently. He is famous all over the world, and he is called Chiyu.The woman covered her veil, and looked up at the panicked crowd with disdain, her fingertips still waving freely.

The tunes are scattered like jade beads, smashing the psychological defenses of the merry-goers, and the hot pot ants who are anxious are just sneaking around, how could they encounter such a bad thing!However, people are crowded and people are crowded, and they can't escape this hot place for a long time.

At this critical moment, an army of dozens of people marched to the door, blocking the only door.

The eyes of the one who rode at the head were sharper than the blade, and the silver armor shone fiercely in the dark night.

"Surround me, don't allow a fly to fly out of Wen Yulou today!"

"Yes!"

The violin stopped abruptly.

"Commander Yun of the Department of Public Security!"

Someone let out a low growl in the crowd.

Everyone who was blocked by the officers and soldiers was shocked, and their hearts were terrified, and they dared not say a word.

Those who can come to Wenyu Tower are either rich or noble, and they are all famous people in Pingyang. After the curfew, they still have fun behind closed doors in this romantic place, singing and dancing, knowing the law and breaking the law.
"Pingyang Mansion handles the case, idlers wait to get out of the way!"

But another voice came from the west, and another group of light soldiers came, more than a dozen people, the leader got off the sedan chair in official uniform, and hurried over with his hands in his large sleeves.

The two adults looked at each other and bowed.

"Chen Fuyin, here we come."

"Commander Yun, thank you."

Chen Yuanyuan, governor of Pingyang Prefecture, turned around and entered the building.

"My lord! The case is on the third floor!"

Zuo Zuo, who came to explore the way first, seemed to be a bit worried when he dodged his eyes.

"Go up and talk."

Chen Fuyin glanced at the general of the security department behind him. Pingyang Mansion was not far away, and he didn't know how to let the security department take the lead, muttering in his heart, he hurried upstairs.

There are only three rooms in a row on the third floor, numbered from left to right with the characters "herringbone", "sky", and "land". They are the three largest boxes in Wen Yulou.People and places can enter as long as they have money, and the word Tian is usually only reserved for the royal family and nobles, and Chen Yuanyuan also knows it clearly.

He looked up at the door number, "God."

What happened was this room...

The box has been surrounded by the police from Pingyang Mansion on three floors inside and outside, the room is not very chaotic, it is just a box for entertaining guests, but the furniture is poorly furnished, it looks very cold.

Not far from the door, a female corpse was lying alone on the cold floor, her hair was loose, but it could be seen from the makeup that she had been carefully dressed, the pink skirt was gorgeous, and the red hairpin on her head was exquisite, she looked like a lady from some family.

Her eyes were slightly open, she couldn’t see any struggle, the body hadn’t changed its color, its appearance was beautiful, and it was still warm. The three horrible cat scratch wounds on her chest were bleeding through her clothes, and the blood hadn’t dried up yet. , and the food and drink were not cold, it should have been discovered right after he died.

Chen Fuyin looked around, his body shook, there was an old acquaintance in the room!
His expensive clothes were wrinkled and his hair was disheveled. He sat on the bedside footrest with his hands on his knees, staring at him impatiently.

Chen Fuyin was beating his heart, and went forward to pay respects, "Shang Shulang."

This person is the current son of the Duke of Zhenguo, Sheng Feiyu, the newly-appointed Shang Shulang.

Sheng Feiyu stood up without any panic, straightened his clothes, walked to Chen Fuyin's side, seemed to snort with some disdain, and said condescendingly.

"Chen Yuanyuan, this matter has nothing to do with my son. My son is going out right now."

Chen Fu Yin bowed his respects, he can be the capital of the capital, his strength is second, and he relies on the full recommendation of Lord Zhen Guo.

On weekdays, this cynical son just makes small troubles and causes small troubles, and he can settle them all. It stands to reason that even if it is a murder like today, it is nothing more than him coming forward to bring it together, and the two families reconcile. .

But today is a little different... He looked downstairs with some apprehension.

"Shang Shulang, I'm afraid it will take some trouble for today's matter..."

"What the hell are you doing!"

Sheng Feiyu spat at him in displeasure, and shouted a few times, "Where are people! I want to go back, where are the people of this son! These dog slaves, where did they go to have fun, and they still bark and refuse to agree. Let's see if this son will go back today!" How to deal with these ungrateful things! Let them know who is the master!"

He scolded his servant, but kept staring at Chen Yuanyuan, making insinuations in what he said, kicking his feet violently, and kicking down the stool angrily.

Chen Yuanyuan didn't answer the call, just stood still with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

Sheng Feiyu gave him a blank look, and thought that if he didn't speak, he was going to wipe his ass by default. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and swaggered to the door.

Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, Commander Yunda is guarding the gate below."

He almost staggered, and quickly turned back, "Yunfei? What is he doing here!"

He has always been at odds with the two brothers of the Yun family, especially this younger brother, Yun Fei, who has a stinking face all day long as if he has a grudge against everyone, and walks around with a knife to show off his power, thinking that he is the king of heaven.

Only then did Chen Yuanyuan raise his head, his face was taken for granted, "It's past the curfew time, not only are there singing and dancing in this building, but there are also dead people, how can the Secretary of Public Security ignore it?"

Sheng Feiyu picked up the stool that he kicked down just now and sat down on it, thinking for a long time, "How can we cover up this matter?"

"My lord, I'm afraid it's hard to hide this matter."

"It's just that a woman died, what's the big deal!"

Chen Yuanyuan paused for a moment, "Yes, but the Department of Public Security is here, and the case must be reported. My son, what do you say you have trouble with a young lady..."

He looked at the corpse, the innocent face, blood-stained clothes, very miserable.

"...to be so ruthless."

"I didn't kill this man!" He slapped the table and stood up, "I don't even know him!"

Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's expression of disbelief, he jumped up anxiously.

"Really! Just such a matter, do you think I, Sheng Feiyu, have to lie to others?"

Chen Yuanyuan believed it a little. Although this ancestor loved to cause trouble, he did not take others seriously from the bottom of his heart, and he did not take his own bad deeds seriously. up.

"Then why is Shang Shulang here?"

"Just... a young man brought me in! I saw a woman sitting here, so I took a closer look, who knew that she would fall down when I touched it! I was shocked!"

"Your Majesty's words are true?"

"Exactly!"

"Zhang Yuzuo, did you find anything?"

Zhang Yuzuo's face is full of sorrow.

"My lord, we have a big deal to deal with."

He handed something over.

Sheng Feiyu took a look, "What is this!"

The next moment he was stunned, "It's over... Who am I to offend!" He staggered and sat on the stool again.

Chen Yuanyuan nervously picked it up and took a look. It was a seal, but it was not an official seal, but a private seal. It was commonly used in the mansion. It was made of top-grade jade and carved with excellent craftsmanship, and it was not as good as the words on it.

"moon".

In today's world, there is only one person who dares to use this month character, and that is the emperor's daughter, Princess Shengyang.

This...Chen Yuanyuan looked at Sheng Feiyu meaningfully. After all, this is the prospective son-in-law who is personally referred by the Holy Majesty and well known to everyone in the world...
