The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 495 The Murder Happened
Zhong Yuan, the third son of the Zhong Dingming family, died.

He was killed naked on the street of Ruyi Street, with a look of horror on his face. His body was covered with whips or bites, and there were many indescribable injuries.

The lower body was a mess of blood and flesh, as if it had been beaten to a pulp with a pestle used for pounding medicine.

"Master Chen, as the parent official of Chang'an City, shouldn't you give me an explanation for the Zhong family?" Zhong Yuan's second uncle Zhong Wencheng said with sinister eyes.

Zhong Wennuo was beheaded by Jing Li, but the Zhong family was considered a big family. One of Zhong Wennuo's two younger brothers served in the army and the other worked in the Ministry of Rites.

Now that Zhong Yuan died so tragically, the faces of the Zhong clan were shameful.

Mr. Chen responded to Zhong Wencheng's aggressiveness in a leisurely manner: "Are you a little too anxious, Mr. Chen?"

"The third young master of your house was discovered at the fifth watch of the night. It's not yet noon, so let me give you the result."

"Could it be that your Excellency can't wait for me to find out the cause, so you want me to use random people to close the case hastily?"

Zhong Wencheng rolled his sleeves and said: "Master Chen is in charge of all affairs in Chang'an and has won the trust of the prince and the empress. Now that such a shocking thing has happened, shouldn't Master Chen reflect on it?"

Mr. Chen said unceremoniously: "Even if we have to reflect, it is also the reflection of Mr. Chen and the prince and the princess. It is probably not your turn to point fingers!"

Zhong Wencheng glared with anger, rolled his sleeves for the last time and said, "I'll give you three days. If you can't solve the case within that time, I will have to go to the prince to seek justice!"

After Zhong Wencheng left, Luo Tongpan said cautiously: "Sir, I'm afraid this old man is sincerely looking for trouble!"

Master Chen snorted coldly: "Is it possible that I am still afraid of him?"

"I have to do whatever I have to do. I want to see what he can do to me!"

Over the past year or so, he has come to understand that the prince has great trust in the princess and basically ignores everything in the city, letting the princess handle it while he only cares about external military affairs.

Although the princess is a woman, she is broad-minded and listens to what is said, better than many men. She will definitely not be the kind of person who doesn't care about the consequences, just the results.

His Zhong family is nothing, he has already made his wife dislike him, and Zhong Yuan is not a good bird, so it is strange that the princess would pay attention to him.

After Mr. Chen thought about this clearly, he wrote down the whole story and handed it to Jing Li.

"Zhong Yuan is dead?" Jing Li couldn't help but ask after reading the folder, "Who is he?"

"Just check as you need to. Why don't you hand me the coupon if you need it?"

Dezi stepped forward and explained: "It should be that Mr. Chen didn't clearly mention who Zhong Yuan is in the book. He is Zhong Wennuo's third son."

Jing Li didn't like Zhong Wenuo, but she didn't go to the extent of targeting the Zhong family. "Tell Mr. Chen how to deal with it. There is no need to report everything to me!"

There are so many things going on all day long, if she is allowed to see everything, she will not be able to live.

Tantai Lin snorted, "Zhong Yuan, it's a good thing that he died early. If it fell into his hands, death would be impossible. I'm afraid his life would be more uncomfortable than death."

He actually dared to attack his Tantai Lin's wife. Zhong Yuande was lucky that he hadn't started yet, otherwise his entire Zhong family would be in trouble.

As things developed, the direction gradually exceeded Jingli's imagination.

Jingli came back from Sanchakou Station and met Luo Tongpan leading someone out before entering the city.

"Where are we going?" Jing Li asked curiously. You must know that Luo Tong is in charge of public security and criminal cases in the city. Under normal circumstances, he will not leave the city.

Luo Tongpan bowed and replied: "Back to your Majesty, Zhong Yuan went to Qingyue Temple in the mountains the day before the incident happened, so I plan to go to Qingyue Temple to find out what happened!"

Qingyue Temple?Jing Li felt that this name sounded familiar for some reason.

Jing Li looked up at the sky and saw that it was still early, "Let's go, I'll go to Qingyue Temple with you!"

Unexpectedly, when Luo Tongpan heard this, he looked embarrassed and said, "Madam, it's not right for you to go!" Jing Li was surprised: "Why can't I go?"

After entering Qingyue Nunnery, the nunnery owner who came after hearing the news had a serious face, but Jingli saw a flash of panic in her eyes.

"Are you the nunnery master Qingxuan?" Luo Tongpan asked, looking around.

Qingxuan saluted and said, "It's just a poor nun. I wonder what's going on when you suddenly break into the nunnery?"

When Qingxuan spoke, his eyes glanced at Jingli seemingly absentmindedly.

Jingli's five senses were already keen, and Qingxuan seemed to be inadvertent, but she knew clearly that Qingxuan was sizing her up, and immediately turned her head and met Qingxuan's eyes.

Qingxuan quickly lowered his head and stood with his hands down as if nothing had happened.

Judge Luo Tong looked around and looked away, "Did Zhong Yuan come to your place last night?"

Qingxuan immediately changed his face: "Sir, you don't want to talk nonsense. This poor nun is a nunnery. You actually said that a man came here. Doesn't it mean to slander everyone in the nunnery?"

Luo Tongpan sneered: "Master, when did I say Zhong Yuan was a man?"

Qingxuan's eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, and then he said calmly: "Sir, you are joking. If a woman is worthy of being visited by you personally, it must be a man who does this!"

Jingli looked at Qingxuan, there is something wrong with this old nun!
Luo Tongpuan sneered: "Qingxuan, I advise you to be more honest and don't let me search you out and ruin your reputation!"

Qingxuan burst into tears: "I have been a nun for many years and have been purified for a long time. Now I am being slandered like this. This is really destructive to me."

Qingxuan, who was originally as strict as Master Miejie, suddenly burst into tears, making both Luo Tongpan and Jingli a little surprised. What is this old nun doing?
Soon, Luo Tongpan and Jing Li knew what kind of trick this old nun was playing.

Following Qingxuan's cry, several ladies came out of the nunnery and looked at Luo Tongpan with condemnation.

After Jingli became the princess, she had no time to entertain these officials' wives. Except for her appearance at the old concubine's birthday banquet, many people had never seen her.

So much so that these ladies recognized Luo Tongpan, but no one recognized her.

"Mr. Luo, are you trying to show off your power to a quiet place?" a woman with an old-looking face said sternly.

"It turns out to be Mrs. Lin. I'm really sorry for disturbing you ladies. I have official business, but I have to apologize today!"

Luo Tongpan has never been so tough on these ladies. What are you afraid of? The one following us is the princess.

Next to Jingli, Caiyue, who was also dressed in men's clothing, whispered: "This is the wife of Mr. Lin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the eldest sister-in-law of Mrs. Song Dingming!"

Geng Qi was sent out to handle military affairs, so Tantai Lin picked Cai Yue over from the Blood Wolf Guard.

The ladies who came out with Mrs. Lin all had angry faces, dissatisfied that Luo Tongpan had disturbed their Qing Dynasty.

"Mr. Luo, this is a place outside the world. Don't bring the stuff from your yamen here."

"If you are so unreasonable, we may not be afraid of you!"

However, Luo Tongpan did not care about these ladies and looked at Qingxuan with lightning eyes: "Are you really unwilling to speak?"

Qing Xuanqi calmed down and said calmly: "I really don't know what you want me to explain!"

Judge Luo Tong said: "It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

"Come on, bring this person up!"
