Chapter 196: An Unexpected Joy
Zhao Jingyun was sitting in the east room, but his thoughts were all in the main room.
If he wasn't afraid of revealing the prince's situation, he would have waited there like Huaiguang, waiting for the prince to wake up.
When Zhao Jingyun met the prince, he still complained a little. He felt that Huaiguang and the others were not interesting enough for not releasing the news earlier, which made them think about it. But now he no longer thinks so. It is really not easy for Huaiguang and the others to reach this point.
, followed by worry and fear, which made me exhausted mentally and physically.
"Master Zhao."
Zhao Luoyang's voice came, and Zhao Jingyun came back to his senses and raised his head.
"I have something to report to your lord."
Zhao Jingyun saw the clear eyes of the Zhao girl, took a deep breath, and pulled himself out of the worry. He nodded slightly and motioned for Zhao Luoyang to continue.
Zhao Luoyang told Zhao Jingyun exactly what he told Prince Wang about Ah Shu.
Zhao Jingyun frowned: "On the way, I also received a document from the Yamen, mentioning this case. There were many wounds on the body of Ah Shu, and she had been tortured before her death."
Zhao Luoyang saw it at that time. Ah Shu's dress was covered with dried blood, and her exposed arm was cut with a sharp weapon. The skin and flesh were twisted and looked very scary.
Naturally, Zhao Luoyang would not tell Bai Yuwei this. They should know the inside story about the corpse from the government office.
Zhao Luoyang said: "When we found Ah Shu, the water tank she was hiding in was held down by heavy objects, so she couldn't escape. The house where the water tank was placed did not collapse. Could the objects on the water tank have been damaged?
Someone else put it up?"
There are some details that should not be mentioned to others, but the Zhao family girl is not a reckless person, and she must know and will not talk nonsense.
Zhao Jingyun nodded: "It was also speculated in the custody documents, but based on the post-mortem examination, Ah Shu should have been alive when she entered the water tank. There were many fingerprints left by her in the tank, which shows that she had struggled in it.
"
Zhao Luoyang said: "Does Wu Zuo mean that Ah Shu once wanted to remove the heavy object on the top of the tank and get it out?"
Unfortunately, Ah Shu was too seriously injured and had no strength to save herself.
Zhao Jingyun responded: "But these are just speculations. The details of the case need to be examined carefully when I return to the Yamen."
Zhao Luoyang couldn't help but think. Judging from what the Yamen said, there might be another person who was with Ah Shu at that time. What did that person want to do by putting Ah Shu in the water tank?
Kill Ah Shu?
Ah Shu was seriously injured. It should be easy to kill her, so why use such a method? Although Fengxia West Village is deserted, there are people living in the East Village. Wouldn't it be very dangerous if someone discovers her?
This would be somewhat unnecessary.
Could it be that he wanted to save Ah Shu?
If someone is chasing Ah Shu and hiding Ah Shu in a water tank just to avoid those people, then there will be a problem.
After hiding, why didn’t the man come back to rescue Ah Shu?
When they found Ah Shu, nothing on the water tank had been removed. After Ah Shu hid inside, no one should have checked again.
If there really is such a person, did that person intentionally not go back, or is he unable to go back?
After one doubt was solved, another one came up.
There should be a lot of inside information about this case that Zhao Jingyun cannot tell them.
For example, if Ah Shu was not wearing pants, had she ever been insulted?
Zhao Jingyun was silent for a moment and said: "Keep all the cloths you found from Huangjiazhuangzi. When I return to the government office, I will have people pick them up. I will also ask people to check Huangjiazhuangzi and Liujia. Remember what we said today.
, be sure not to reveal it, so as not to alert others."
Zhao Luoyang said: "Don't worry, sir. After we found the cloth, we didn't dare to inform the people in the village. Fortunately, you are back at this time."
At the moment, in the Taozhou Yamen Office, only Zhao Jingyun is the most trustworthy. If Zhao Jingyun hadn't come back, Zhao Luoyang would have really put a lot of thought into it.
Zhao Jingyun could feel that the clues discovered by Zhao Luoyang were particularly important. Perhaps by investigating the Liu family, the case would make great progress.
Zhao Luoyang looked at Zhao Jingyun again: "Master Zhao, we have just arrived in Taozhou, and we don't know much about the people in the village. The person who went to the village before was named Bai Yuwei. Is the village similar to ours? Some villages have
There are many people with the same surname, is it the same in the village?"
Zhao Jingyun said: "The village is different from ours. The people in the village all fled from Tubo. We don't know much about what they were like when they were in Tubo. Later, when the war subsided, the government registered them, and there were quite a few of them.
People end up with the same surname."
Zhao Luoyang asked tentatively: "Your surname is Bai?"
Zhao Jingyun nodded: "Not all of them are surnamed Bai, but the surname Bai is the most common. They are not relatives, but they all use the same surname when registering."
Zhao Luoyang and Zhao Jingyun were the only ones talking in the room. Zhao Xueli and others nearby could not speak because Zhao Luoyang had not yet had time to explain the inside story of Ah Shu's case to them in detail.
Zhao Jingyun said: "Western Tibet is divided into many tribes. Those people may be from the same tribe. When they came to Taozhou, it was during the chaos in Xibo. It is also possible that they were subjects of Zanpu. After Zanpu was defeated, they came together.
escape."
Xifan is another name for Tubo, and it is customary to call it this way.
Zhao Luoyang continued: "Is there any Lizheng in the village?"
Zhao Jingyun found that the girls of the Zhao family were very interested in the stockade. People in the stockade did not often go out and about, but it was inevitable if they lived in Taozhou. Telling more about the things in the stockade would give the Zhao family something to think about.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jingyun said: "We call him Li Zheng. They don't call him that, but the meaning is the same. He is the person in charge of the village."
"Since the village was moved to Taozhou, a female family member has been in charge. She calls herself Bai. She has been in the village all year round. It is rare to hear her go out."
Zhao Luoyang said to Shi Jiu in his mind: "We are right. The Bai family on the character card should be the Bai family in the village."
Shi Jiu said: "There shouldn't be a second Bai family. However, the village has almost no contact with outsiders, so it shouldn't be too easy to complete this task."
It is especially difficult when it comes to others. Zhao Luoyang would be better off. After all, until now, there is no one whom Zhao Luoyang cannot make friends with.
Zhao Luoyang and Shi Jiu said: "It may be wrong to say this, but Ah Shu's case may be my opportunity to enter the village."
After Zhao Jingyun and Zhao Luoyang finished talking about the things at the village, he felt much calmer. There were still so many things waiting for him in the Yamen, and he couldn't help if he stayed here. He might as well go back to arrange things. He wanted to deal with Tao as soon as possible.
All the affairs in Taozhou have been sorted out, and only in this way can the young prince rest in peace in Taozhou.
Zhao Jingyun stood up to leave.
Zhao Luoyang, Zhao Xueli and others also stopped staying.
Huaiguang came out to see off the guests. Zhao Jingyun looked at the main room and told Huaiguang: "Take good care of Mr. Wang. If you need anything, ask someone to come to me at the government office."
The two of them didn't say much in front of others, Huaiguang just responded.
After getting on the donkey cart, Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing were talking and driving. Zhao Luoyang mentioned Ah Shu's case, Huangjiazhuangzi, and Liujia's powder shop. The two brothers were surprised when they heard it. They didn't know how Zhao Luoyang knew about it.
These.
But fortunately, they were all people who had experienced strong winds and waves, so they were not in a hurry to ask Zhao Luoyang.
After the donkey cart had gone a while, Zhao Luoyang turned back to look at Wangjiazhuangzi.
Shi Jiu said in his mind: "Are you worried about Mr. Wang?"
Zhao Luoyang did not deny it.
Shi Jiu said: "The Wang family did not panic, nor did they hire another doctor. It shows that they can cope with it. You may not be able to see Mr. Wang again in two days."
Zhao Luoyang was either in a hurry to see someone, or... Prince Wang was ill at the wrong time, and he happened to be right in front of her. As long as she thought about it, that scene would appear in front of her eyes.
Zhao Luoyang put the matter behind him for the time being: "Shi Jiu, have you noticed any other changes after the system upgrade?"
"have."
Shi Jiu opened the charm value area as he spoke: "You'll know after you take a look."
Zhao Luoyang immediately looked over and saw a line written on the charm value details:
[Zhao Xueli Charm Value 4]
Zhao Luoyang opened her eyes wide in surprise. She actually received the charm points from her father. What was going on?
Zhao Luoyang thought about it and turned her eyes to her father. What was her father thinking just now?
