Chapter 778 Burying People
After Diecui was taken down, Wang Chenyang looked at Duanmuze and said, "What do you think?"

Duan Muze frowned, and said: "It's hard to say who did it, but it must be aimed at Die Cui. Looking at it like this, Die Cui must have offended someone?"

Wang Chenyang pondered slightly, and said, "Could it be robbery and murder?"

Duan Muze shook his head, walked to the side of the old beggar, opened the left and right flaps, exposed the wound on his chest, and said to Wang Chenyang: "Look, the wound is quite smooth, it must have been done by a master, it is a fatal blow, since It is fatal with one knife, since he is a master, why would he rob a beggar, he does not look very rich, the so-called robbery is just a deception."

After listening to Duan Muze's words, Wang Chenyang also felt that it made sense. The old beggar was new to the imperial capital, and it is unlikely that he would have any grudges with others, but he was killed by others, which is obviously unreasonable.

Looking at the knife edge, Duanmu Ze frowned, and suddenly he let out a sigh.

Seeing his thoughtful appearance, Wang Chenyang was a little puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Duan Muze covered the old beggar, sighed and said: "This knife pierced his heart and lungs. He still has meaning when he dies. It must be extremely painful."

Hearing this, Wang Chenyang was also silent. If this is the case, it would be really pitiful.

"Master, we searched around the corpse and found a bloody purse. I don't know if it belongs to Miss Diecui?" The dark guard interrupted the words of the two, and presented a purse in his hand.

Wang Chenyang took it over and took a look, saw the pattern embroidered on it, nodded, and said: "It is indeed Pinnacle."

"Where did you find it?" Duan Muze asked.

The dark guard replied: "In the grass by the roadside, it seems that someone deliberately discarded it. When we found it, we saw that it was still buried with soil. It was only washed by the rain, so we discovered it by accident."

Wang Chenyang frowned, opened the purse, there was still money in it, Wang Chenyang flipped through it, and said to Duanmuze: "Today Diecui told me that she wanted to pay ten taels of silver in advance to give her adoptive father a place. The house must be the ten taels of silver, and ten taels of silver is not a small amount, but it was thrown away at will, it seems that you guessed right, it was not robbery, but premeditated."

Duan Muze's eyes were slightly cold, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who, why did you attack an unarmed old man?"

Wang Chenyang put away the purse, sighed, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "You actually threw away the purse, why didn't you see the jade pendant?"

Reminded by Wang Chenyang, Duanmuze frowned, as if he also thought of it, since he had a purse and the money was not lost, it meant that the murderer must not be greedy for money, so why didn't he see the emerald jade pendant.

Thinking of this, Wang Chenyang just remained silent, looked at Duanmu Ze, and Duan Muze also looked at her, and said with some guesswork: "Or, the murderer went after the jade pendant?"

Wang Chenyang's brows sank, and he said, "Maybe."

The two people are just guessing, and there is no real evidence.

Diecui grieved for two days, managed to regain her spirits, and organized a funeral for the old beggar.

Wang Chenyang asked someone to find him a place of good geomantic omen and bury him.

On the hillside, Diecui was wearing sackcloth, kneeling on the ground, burning paper money while shedding tears.

On the side was So Liang, who looked at Diecui quietly, and didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he could only look at her silently and accompany her.

After burning the paper money, Diecui didn't intend to get up, So Liang saw her kneeling for a long time, fearing that she might hurt herself, he stepped forward and said: "It's getting late, let's go back."

But Die Cui didn't seem to hear it, she was still kneeling, tears streaming down her face.

"Die Cui, if you burn out, your adoptive father will feel sorry for you," So Liang persuaded with a sigh.

Die Cui's body froze, then she raised her head to Shu Liang, and said, "You go back first, I want to be alone with Godfather for a while, I didn't stay with him properly when he was alive, and died You can't leave him too alone."

With her like this, how could Shu Liang feel at ease, he shook his head and said, "I don't trust you, we want to go together."

Diecui shook her head, and said: "You go back first, I want to talk to him alone, I'm fine, So Liang, I'm not one of those delicate little girls, of course I won't miss it, I just want to talk to him It's just talking, you are here, I can't say it."

So Liang said this, looked at Diecui, her eyes flickered, she did not intend to commit suicide, she sighed, and finally agreed.

"I'll come back to you later." So Liang sighed, turned around and left.

When he was about to go down the mountain, So Liang saw a white shadow drifting by, and when he looked at it, there was no trace, maybe his eyes were dazzled, these days were too tiring, and he was exhausted physically and mentally.

So Liang didn't take it seriously, shook his head, and went down the mountain anyway.

Back in the mansion, he saw Wang Chenyang, seeing that he was alone, Wang Chenyang asked worriedly: "Where is Diecui?"

"She wanted to stay alone, so I had no choice but to leave first," So Liang said helplessly.

Wang Chenyang understood Diecui's temper, she was a strong girl, she would not commit suicide, so she was relieved a lot.

"Die Cui is not a fragile person, don't worry, she will cheer up," Wang Chenyang comforted seeing So Liang's distressed and helpless expression.

Su Liang understands what she said, but he still can't stop feeling distressed, disasters come and go, seeing Diecui's melancholy eyebrows and eyes, seeing Diecui's melancholy eyes makes his heart ache.

Wang Chenyang didn't want to continue this topic, but looked at So Liang, and said, "I let you watch the movement of the prince, how about it?"

Su Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "The crown prince is very interested in Xu Yan, it seems that he intends to make him a side concubine."

Wang Chenyang snorted, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, and said: "It seems that Xu Yan still has some tricks. The prince is fascinated by all kinds of meat and vegetables, and she has lived up to my expectations of her."

She smiled, looked at So Liang, and said: "Let people keep an eye on Xu Yan, don't make any mistakes, and remind her by the way, now is not the time for her to fly on the branches, so don't mess up."

So Liang said, rolled his eyes, and said: "A few days ago, the Crown Princess seemed to have gone to see Xu Yan, and the two seemed to have conflicts. After the Crown Prince came back, he severely reprimanded the Crown Princess. "

Wang Chenyang pointed at the table with her finger, once or twice, as if she was thinking about something, she said with a smile: "I don't think the Crown Princess is looking for her, but she deliberately lured the Crown Princess to go, the so-called conflict, She must be acting unilaterally, and the prince is fascinated by her, so he will naturally help her, which is not surprising, but she is too much in the limelight, and she is carefully watched by others."
