Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 20 He admires her
This was the first time Qin Zhao saw Luo Ning joking with him, and he took advantage of the situation and said:
"Come on, arrest me and take me to Dali Temple. From now on, I will follow Mr. Luo wholeheartedly, and I can also protect you. This is great, so I've decided!"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Luo Ning in a gesture of surrender. Luo Ning dug a hole and fell into it, regretting it endlessly.

At this time, Wei Si walked in and said, "Sir, I have made an discovery."

Qin Zhao and Luo Ning both stood up in a hurry.

"My lord, I visited many people around Liu Shan yesterday and this morning, and the General's Mansion also inquired from the side. There is a woman next to Liu Shan who is closely related. It should be the concubine's outer room!"

Luo Ning thought of the woman Qin Zhao mentioned just now. Qin Zhao also looked at Luo Ning. The woman who cried so sadly yesterday was probably the person Wei Sizhi was talking about.

Luo Ning's heart sank. In the State of Zhao, the son-in-law is an existence attached to the princess.

In an ordinary family, the man is the main one and can have three wives and four concubines, but in the princess's house, the princess is the eldest. Without the princess's permission, the prince-in-law is not allowed to have concubines in his life.

Then Liu Shan... actually dared to raise people outside.

This is the crime of bullying the king!
Luo Ning looked bad: "Can you find out where the woman lives?"

"In Rongli Street, sir, this is the address. This woman's name is Xiaoxiao. She used to be the girl from Wanhua Building!"

Luo Ning took the address and took a look at the map of Anyang City in his mind: "I know this place, go there now."

"Wei Sizhi, these eight people are the ones who raced with the son-in-law that day. You find them, ask them one by one, find out the timeline of each person that day, who can contact Liu Shan's horse race."

Wei Yan took the list and saw that Qin Zhao's name was actually on the list. He couldn't help but laugh: "Master Qin, how about you come first?"

Seeing that Luo Ning had already walked out, Qin Zhao patted Wei Yan on the shoulder hurriedly: "I want to protect Mr. Luo, you go ask others first, I am the last one!"

After saying that, he chased Luo Ning.

Wei Yan's jaw dropped when he saw that Master Qin, the wise and powerful commander of the Jinyiwei, had become Luo Ning's little follower!
Luo Ning turned around and walked not far before arriving at Rongli Street. Xiaoxiao's address was in the innermost house. Luo Ning saw a little girl of eleven or twelve years old walking out of it:

"Miss Xiaoxiao lives here?"

"Who are you? Do you have anything to do with my girl?" The little girl was very alert and asked with her eyes wide open.

"Don't be afraid, we are friends of Mr. Liu Shan. I heard that something happened to him. I came to see Miss Xiaoxiao!"

The little girl felt relieved and looked at Qin Zhao behind her. Although her face was serious, her expression was stern and did not look like a bad person, so she led them into the house.

"Girl, someone is looking for you!"

The little girl took them into the room, and Luo Ning saw a pale-faced woman with swollen eyes walking out of the room!
Xiaoxiao felt inexplicably nervous when she saw two adults wearing official uniforms. The humiliation of being kicked out of the general's mansion also came to her mind at this moment.

She motioned Luo Ning and Qin Zhao to sit down and remained silent.

Luo Ning saw that she was young and her eyes were swollen, so she probably cried a lot. Compared to the eldest princess Zhao Xiang'er, this girl Xiaoxiao seemed to treat Liu Shan sincerely.

"Girl, don't be nervous. I am Luo Ning, Qing of Dali Temple, and this is Master Qin Zhao, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. We are here for the case of the consort Liu Shan!" Luo Ning spoke first.

Unexpectedly, when Xiaoxiao heard Liu Shan's name, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief again, sobbing hard.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, I know everything about you and Liu Shan. I thought it was strange that Liu Shan died, so I came to find you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao looked at Luo Ning and stopped crying: "Then I hope you can find out the truth and give me justice! Mr. Liu is a superb equestrian, and his death is definitely not an accident!"

Luo Ning and Qin Zhao looked at each other.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, why do you say this?"

"I have known Mr. Liu for more than a year. We were just ordinary friends at first. Later, our relationship got better and Mr. Liu took pity on me, so he built this house outside."

Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears and recalled the past with a gentle expression on her face. Luo Ning thought to herself, it seems that Liu Shan treated her very well.

"Later, Mr. Liu stayed here longer and longer, and the eldest princess noticed it, and the two of them had a big fight because of it."

Xiaoxiao lowered her head, feeling guilty, but then raised her head again and faced it resolutely: "We really love each other, but the eldest princess cannot be separated from Mr. Liu, and she refuses to let me enter the house, so we have been in a stalemate!"

"In the past six months, the eldest princess has no longer troubled Mr. Liu, and we have been in peace. Mr. Liu said that as long as the princess is safe, we can continue like this!"

"Then what happened? Why did you say someone wanted to harm the consort?" Luo Ning was confused.

"I don't know. I realized something was wrong after the young master's accident. The young master is very good at equestrian skills. He didn't want to go to the horse racing this time, but the princess mobilized and invited him several times. When he got up the morning before yesterday, Mr. Liu said he didn't want to go. If I had... It would be nice if he didn’t go, who knows he will never come back!”

After saying that, Xiaoxiao started crying again.

Luo Ning rubbed his eyebrows: Could it be a princess?The princess wanted to kill her consort because he had a foreign wife?

It doesn't make sense!

The princess had thousands of ways to deal with this matter. There was no need to kill the consort. Luo Ning's mind was in confusion.

who is it?What's the reason?Must Liu Shan be killed?

Qin Zhao also frowned, feeling that he had no clue. The death of the consort was now tied to the eldest princess.

"Prince-in-law, have you ever heard that he has an enemy?"

"No, Mr. Liu is very gentle. He married the eldest princess because the emperor granted her a marriage. However, the eldest princess likes to be quiet and Mr. Liu likes sports. After the marriage, the relationship between the two was not good!"

Luo Ning sighed, a marriage changed Liu Shan's life. She could feel Liu Shan's mood. Without love, she reluctantly tied two unfamiliar people together.

She thought of Zhao Xiang'er's appearance. Her wishful thinking not only harmed herself, but also indirectly harmed Liu Shan and ruined the two of them!
Luo Ning and Qin Zhao returned to Dali Temple, and Wei Yan and Meng Sizhi had both returned.

Four people get together and exchange information.

"Now, the case is pointed at the eldest princess!" Luo Ning spoke first.

"Sir, the servants and maids in the Princess Mansion all agree that the Prince Consort and the Eldest Princess are very affectionate and have a good relationship. However, I visited the neighbors near the Princess Mansion and found out that the two of them are not close." Meng Xiao continued. explain.

Luo Ning nodded: "This is the same as Zhao Keer's statement. It seems that the Princess Mansion is hiding something!"

Qin Zhao looked at them and said nothing.

For the first time, he knew that this was how Dali Temple investigated the case, so all the clues were gathered here at Luoning, waiting for her to find clues?
The way Qin Zhao looked at Luo Ning was even more different. How many things must be packed in this little head!
Wei Yan took out a stack of paper and glanced at Qin Zhao:
"Sir, I have been in contact with all the people on the list. These are the confessions of seven people on that day, except Mr. Qin's!"

Luo Ning took it and glanced at Qin Zhao: "Now it's your turn, sir!" Luo Ning rubbed his eyebrows.

Qin Zhao smiled and said: "Master Luo, please ask me!"

"From the day I walked to the school training ground, who I met, and when I came into contact with horse racing, try to be as detailed as possible!"

Qin Zhao shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to accept the convention of Dali Temple.
