Chapter 3
"Wow, Brother Duan, a tragedy happened here! How dare you come here?"

"Haha, brother Wen is joking. I do these things in one day. What's there to be afraid of? I should ask you this question."

"This Wen Yulou is really powerful. After such a thing happened, the door can be opened as usual in only two days."

Duan Zi raised his eyes and looked at Wen Yulou, the pink walls and mahogany, gold cups and silver pots, they are so gorgeous, if it wasn't for the blessing of the prince of Zhen Guogong, he earned that little salary with his official position, how could he be qualified to come here.

"My lord, the food is here!" The servant served them wine and food.

"Brother Duan, I heard that this matter has something to do with a demon, and the Holy Majesty handed it over to Lord Tai Tuo." Wen Mingshen said mysteriously.

Duan Zi saw that the boy's hands were shaking violently, and his expression was a little uncomfortable, so he took back the words, "Your news is too slow."

"My lord, please use it slowly!"

After the boy left, Duan Zi said, "Why do I feel that this boy is weird?"

Wen understood him with a glance, and raised his eyes to look at the third floor, "This nice Wenxiang Ruanyu Building has become a yamen, which Xiaoer is not afraid?"

At this time, in the Tianzihao room on the third floor, a corpse was lying on the ground, dressed in exactly the same clothes as the corpse two days ago, and a man was sitting on the footstep beside the bed. When talking, his eyes are so wide that he can see through the people behind the screen.

"Squeak!" As soon as the door opened, the servant who had just come in to serve the dishes was flustered, lowering his head and not daring to look around.

The door was closed again with a "bang", the boy was startled in fright, and when he looked up, he saw the bloody female corpse beside the table, jumping and screaming in fright.

"Dead! Help! Dead again!"

The little servant fled to the right like a headless chicken, only to find that there was actually a living person here, and upon closer inspection, he actually recognized him!
"Master! Why are you again! Why are you dead again!"

He collapsed to the ground, terrified.

"come here."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

He moved to Shizi's side in fear, and took his arm. Sheng Feiyu was dressed luxuriously, and he boasted that he was very tall. No servant had ever had such intimate contact with him, and he was so angry that he glared at him, but he didn't even notice it.

"You boy, you have experienced this once, and you are still so timid!"

A man walked out from behind the screen, dressed in green clothes, tall and upright, upright and solemn, like a lone pine on a dangerous mountain.His eyes are full of inquiry, his nose is straight, he is tall, but he is not Kong Wu, he looks like a civil servant, but he is not an ordinary civil servant, but a powerful minister, just standing there casually with his hands clasped, he has a strong aura and is not angry Self-prestige.

It's just that he never came to this kind of place, so the boy naturally couldn't recognize that this was Duan Yuzhi, the most popular official around the emperor and the emperor.

"My lord! My lord, save this villain!"

Seeing that it was a living person, the boy quickly crawled over and grabbed Duan Yuzhi's clothes.

"Don't panic, it's fake."

He shook the hem of his clothes and sat down calmly. The boy let go of his hand and slumped on the ground, seemingly regaining his composure.

"what is it call?"

"Big and big... people, and the young one is called Xiao Liu."

"When you came in that day, was this the same scene?"

"Yes my lord..."

He pointed at Sheng Feiyu, "Is he just sitting like this?"

"Yes."

"Is there anything unusual? What expression?"

"Hmm..." The boy seemed to be thinking about it, "At that time, Master Shizi didn't have any expression."

No expression... Duan Yuzhi was thoughtful.

"Is there anything unusual about this corpse?"

"My lord, I dare not look at it! I only saw blood, so I rushed out to call someone."

"From when you found the body to when the officers and soldiers came in, who else entered here?"

"No, I will call at the door. There are not many people on the third floor, but there are the most guards. As soon as I call, everyone at the door will come in."

He pointed, "Is the window open or closed?"

"Closed, my lord. At that time, Master Zhang of our Nursing House specially watched it. He was a policeman of Pingyang Mansion when he was young. He was very powerful. He checked the window when he came in, and it was locked."

"Go back."

"My lord..." The servant seemed to be in disbelief, is this the end?Backed out trembling.

This man left, and another came, with the same frightened look, but after seeing the situation clearly, this man immediately calmed down, straightened his clothes, and bowed to the man.

"what is it call?"

"My lord, the villain is called Xiaosan."

"Shang Shulang said that you led him into this room?"

"Back to Master Taifu, he is indeed a villain."

Duan Yuzhi glanced at him, slightly surprised, "Do you know me?"

"My lord, this villain is the guide boy of this restaurant. I have memorized the portraits of the royal family and nobles in Pingyang City one by one as if it were my homework. Your lord has such an extraordinary bearing and is one of the best figures in the court. How could I?" There will be eyes that don’t see Mount Tai.”

"You are much smarter than the one just now... Who told you to lure Shang Shulang in?"

"My lord, it's the girl who unfortunately died."

"What did she say then?"

"Go back to your lord, she said," the guide called Xiaosan seemed to think for a while, "she said... I heard that Shizi is next door, if you invite him, just say I invited him."

"Who is she? Do you know her?"

"Returning to my lord, the villain really doesn't know this lady. After all, most of the ladies in the boudoir come with their father, brother and family, and rarely come alone. The villain was a little hesitant at first, but... Judging by her clothes, she should be an official." Miss Jia, if you say that again, I thought it was an old acquaintance of the Shizi, in the past..."

He glanced at Sheng Feiyu, leaned in front of Duan Yuzhi and whispered, "In the past, my master basically never refused to come..."

"So I went to invite the Shizi, and the Shizi was also very curious, so he came over immediately. But I was afraid of delaying the two of you... Talking, I opened the door for the Shizi, and immediately closed the door and went out."

"Didn't you take a look in?"

"I accidentally glanced at it, and the young lady is sitting with her back to the door."

"She was the only one in this room before?"

"Yes, I'm still wondering, but the shopkeeper personally invited her in. I just obeyed her orders and led her up without asking any further questions."

"Shang Shulang is the only one in the next room?"

"Yes, Shang Shulang and his followers, as well as a few girls from the building."

"Who is sitting in the herringbone room?"

"In the herringbone room... the one sitting..." He seemed to be thinking twice, "the one sitting is Master Yu..."

"Which Master Yu?"

"It should be...it should be..." He wiped the sweat from his brow, "Master Yu Jinshanyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War..."

Seeing him sweating profusely, Duan Yuzhi said, "He's really a big official.

"Call your shopkeepers."

The shopkeeper was startled when he entered the room, but he seemed to have seen more, so he calmed down and took a closer look to make sure that the corpse was not the woman. Seeing Taifu Duan come out and sit down, he bowed,

"Sir, what does this mean?"

"do you know her?"

"do not know."

"I'm not talking about her," Mrs. Duan flipped the brazier and turned to give him a cold look.

The shopkeeper's heart trembled, "My lord, I really don't know that young lady..."

"do not know?"

The fire suddenly ignited, sparks were picked up, and almost splashed on the shopkeeper's feet.

The shopkeeper took a step back, "My lord, the villain really doesn't know her. It's just that she spent a lot of money and asked to be in the Tianzihao room, so the villain led her into this room."

Duan Yuzhi didn't seem to believe him, "How generous is the shot?"

"She gave the villain...a bag of gold ingots..."

The shopkeeper looked up at his reaction, it was a bit hot in the room, so he wiped his sweat.

"It's really rich, as expected of a big family."

"Big family..." The shopkeeper felt a little guilty, really messing with people who shouldn't be messed with!

"Call the girls who were with Shang Shulang that day to come in."

The girls didn't see the scene inside the house, so Taifu Duan ordered the person pretending to be the corpse to retreat temporarily.

"Teacher Duan really knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."

There were still people behind the screen, jokingly said in a low voice.

Duan Yuzhi glanced sideways at the screen, the ink and wash landscape, and couldn't see the descendants of the screen clearly, so he was interrupted.

"The slave family pays respects to the adults."

He looked back.

Several charming women in red and green bowed together.

"Several girls, who was with you that day?"

They all pointed to the right, "My lord."

"My son is a regular customer, we all know each other, and we all serve him more attentively than others."

He glanced at the screen, and said again, "What happened in the middle?"

"Everything is as usual, except that Xiaosan came in later, and I don't know what to say to Shizi, so Shizi left."

"Let's all guess, he must have gone to see another beauty." The woman covered her face and smiled.

"My son met a woman here before, but has something happened?"

"No," the woman shook her head, then looked at the other sisters for approval, "It's not true."

"The son of the world will take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade. He is gentle and generous to us. He also said that he would redeem us and let us enter the mansion to be young. Then we can accompany the princess..."

Sheng Feiyu's face was already flushed with anger and anxiety, but he couldn't say a word because something was stuffed in his mouth.

"Cough cough."

Duan Yuzhi coughed twice to end the conversation.

After everyone retreated, he got up again and poked the brazier, collected his thoughts, put down the tongs, turned around and bowed to the screen.

"Your Highness, people have already asked the same question."

"There is Mrs. Lao."

A female voice like broken jade came from behind the curtain, and a moon-white dress came out. Although it was plain, it was embroidered with a golden phoenix. Ornaments, a pair of auspicious phoenix eyes looking forward to look forward to the posture, charming and heroic, although casually dressed, but full of momentum, one glance is golden branches and jade leaves, high above.

She took a look at Duan Yu, passed by, raised her head and walked towards Sheng Feiyu, gave him a contemptuous look, kicked him up, and the tassels flew off the shoe.

"Dog, you are not worthy to carry the shoes of Ben Gong."

Sheng Feiyu looked at her in shock and humiliation, his face turned blue and red, since he was a child, no one dared to bully him like this.

Duan Yuzhi was pouring tea, but he was also taken aback. He forgot to put down the teapot in his hand, and looked over with a frown, but saw the princess turned her head and looked at him with a smile on her lips.

"Master Taifu, let this dog go, I want to have a few words with you alone."

"Come on."

The mighty Shizi was dragged down just like that.
