A Suspicious Death
Xie Yu only smiled, not angry, helped by the Maid’s hand down from the Carriage, and then looked at Jiang Yimian and Two People, and said seriously: “This time, thanks to you, whether it is Great General Wei, or the Qingnan Flood, if it weren’t for you, I’m afraid something big would have happened.”
At the beginning, she set off from Jincheng Prefecture and should have arrived in Qingnan faster. She never expected to be attacked on the road. The Guards around her were almost completely wiped out. If Song Bingcheng’s People hadn’t arrived in time, she would have been in mortal danger.
Fortunately, she quickly met the Southern Guards when she arrived in Qingnan, and traveling together in this way reduced a lot of danger.
Jiang Yimian’s Line of Sight fell on Xie Yu and Jiang Qingyuan, she raised her eyebrows, but didn’t say anything.
Xie Yu instead looked at Lu Cijian and smiled: “You can recognize me this time, right? After all, we grew up together. You can recognize my brother, but you can’t recognize me. You’re too heartless.”
Fortunately, she thought this guy was heartless to everyone, but now it seems that she really thought too much.
In these two meetings, Lu Cijian was not as heartless to Jiang Yimian as he was to her.
Jiang Yimian was surprised, listening to these overly familiar words, and only curiously looked back and forth between Two People.
Just as she wanted to ask clearly, she heard Lu Cijian say lightly: “Let’s go in first, you must be tired after traveling for so long.”
Jiang Yimian had no choice but to give up, but she was extremely surprised in her heart, and she made up a lot of stories for a while.
It was Two People childhood sweethearts again, and it was a private lifelong agreement again, the more she thought about it, the more she had a Headache, and she only became a little depressed.
Lu Cijian, this guy, is hiding it so deeply, he has never mentioned to her that he knew Xie Yu.
Seeming to notice that Jiang Yimian was in a bad mood, he only lowered his voice and said in her ear: “She is my Elder Cousin.”
Jiang Yimian was stunned, and before she could react, she heard Lu Cijian chuckle: “You’re jealous of this too, Mianmian.”
The Youth’s lips were close to her ear, Two People were very close, and the warm breath sprayed behind her ear, making her a little itchy.
She only felt a moment of stiffness in her body, but the Culprit seemed to think it wasn’t enough, his lips lightly brushed her ear, and he whispered: “It is said that childhood sweetheart cannot beat someone who appears out of nowhere, and besides, I don’t have a childhood sweetheart, I only have Mianmian.”
Jiang Yimian paused, only feeling her face flushed, but Lu Cijian acted as if nothing had happened and followed the crowd into the Yamen.
She only felt that her ear was as hot as if it was on fire, but she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and muttered in a low voice: “You know a lot.”
As soon as the group entered the Yamen, Assistant Administrator Li hurried out with Panic all over his face, “Lord Lu, it’s not good, Lord Zhou, Zhou Shiwen, di, died.”
Lu Cijian frowned, “What’s going on?”
Assistant Administrator Li took a breath and then quickly said, “I, I don’t know, as soon as the People from the Yamen entered the House, they found Lord Zhou lying on the ground.”
Originally, he was thinking of asking Zhou Shiwen for some useful things, but who would have thought that this person would die directly.
Lu Cijian only felt that something was wrong.
Although it was chaotic at that time, he could see clearly that Zhou Shiwen had already hid in the House with the crowd, so how could he have died suddenly?
He only said: “I’ll go take a look.”
Jiang Yimian also felt strange, nodded to everyone, and left with Lu Cijian.
Two People followed Assistant Administrator Li all the way to the backyard.
The Bloody smell in the air was much lighter than before, and the pooled water mixed with blood in the Courtyard had also been cleaned up. For a while, it was impossible to tell what had happened here a Quarter Hour ago.
The east side House was wide open at the moment. Zhou Shiwen was lying straight on the ground, his eyes wide open. There was a big hole in his chest, and Bloodstains were oozing out.
Jiang Yimian looked at the familiar Wound and only said: “It was injured by the Western Liang People’s Curved Blade.”
The Wound was extremely large, and the flesh inside was pulled out due to the hook in front of the Curved Blade, which looked a little scary.
Lu Cijian nodded and looked at Assistant Administrator Zhang, “How many of These Western Liang People are still alive now? Have you asked anything?”
Assistant Administrator Li shook his head, “Those People only came to kill General Wei on the Order of the Head, and they don’t know anything else. The Head who knew Qi Shang is also dead.”
As soon as the Southern Guards appeared just now, These Western Liang People wanted to commit suicide when they saw that the Situation was not right. They were stopped by the Southern Guards and are now all locked up in the Yamen Dungeon.
Not many of Those People can speak Great Jin language, and they can only say a few words sporadically. They are all saying unimportant things, let alone asking anything useful.
Lu Cijian stared at the person on the ground and said, “Take the Corpse away first, keep an eye on Qi Shang, don’t let him die.”
Now that Zhou Shiwen is dead, they can only start with Qi Shang.
Assistant Administrator Li quickly responded and ordered someone to take Zhou Shiwen’s Corpse away before leaving.
Seeing People leave, Jiang Yimian then said, “Do you suspect that Zhou Shiwen was killed by the Western Liang People?”
Lu Cijian shook his head, “No, the target of Those Western Liang People is Wei Jinghai, they won’t care about Zhou Shiwen’s life or death.”
Logically speaking, Zhou Shiwen is just a small Prefect, and what he knows will only be less than Qi Shang, not more than him.
But no one attacked Qi Shang, but solved Zhou Shiwen first, which is really strange.
Jiang Yimian thought for a while and then said, “Is it possible that the person who did it was from the Censorate or the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Hospital?
At that time, everyone’s attention was focused outside, who would care about a Zhou Shiwen who was greedy for life and afraid of death and hiding in the House?”
Apart from Those People, no one should have had the opportunity.
At that time, she was protecting everyone to escape, and many People fled everywhere and hid in the Houses.
It is possible that someone took the opportunity to sneak into Zhou Shiwen’s House and kill him, and then carefully left.
The Situation was Nervous at that time, and no one would have noticed it at all.
Lu Cijian frowned, not speaking.
This possibility is very high, but it only makes his back feel cold.
The Chu Prince’s People are all over the court. Everyone who came to Qingnan this time was carefully selected and deliberately avoided the Chu Prince’s spies. Unexpectedly, there are still some among These People.
The Chu Prince is really terrible. If it hadn’t been for an accident back then, the person sitting on the Imperial Throne now would definitely be Xie Yang.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimian only said, “Have Wang San and They found anything Abnormal in the past few days?”
Lu Cijian shook his head. Since Jiang Yimian felt that Liu Zixun was a little strange last time, he asked Wang San to keep an eye on him, but after a few days, he found nothing.
Liu Zixun is indeed a Youth devoted to Medical Skill.
Every day, in addition to treating the injured, he spends most of his Time in his House and never goes out, let alone any Abnormal behavior.
Jiang Yimian was also in trouble for a while. Zhou Shiwen’s death was really strange. The person who could kill the other party silently must be hidden among Those People.
Her intuition has never been wrong, that Liu Zixun must have a Problem.
Thinking, she only slightly moved her stiff shoulders, “You go and interrogate Qi Shang first, he must know something, as long as he opens his mouth, many things can be easily solved.”
Lu Cijian nodded, but his Line of Sight fell on her shoulder, and he said worriedly: “How is the Wound on your shoulder? Did the Wound burst open? Let me see.”
The Wound he saw that day is still vivid in his mind, and he only felt a pang in his heart.
Jiang Yimian only smiled and said: “It’s okay, it will be fine in a few days, don’t worry.
Or are you trying to take advantage of me?”
