Thinking of tonight's scene, he still felt a little scared. If he had been at the scene at that time, Shangguan Yu would have been poisoned like the people in the Zhao family.
"Ahem..."
The poisonous blood that had not been completely discharged made him cough uncontrollably, and his stiff brows slowly tightened.
He didn't know how long he had been sitting in the yard. When Shangguan Yu came to his senses, it was already bright.
The circles under her eyes were thick and dark, and the bags under her eyes were slightly swollen from not sleeping all night.
Standing up from the yard, Amon and others also woke up.
"Miss, why are your eyes so swollen?"
"Uh, it's okay. Let's go out and have breakfast. The magistrate will come to see us later."
Not wanting to think about the mysterious man in black last night, she changed the subject to Qiu Yinjiren.
"The magistrate is coming to see us? How did you know, Miss?"
Amon asked.
"Everyone in the Zhao family is dead. It's such a big thing. I'm an imperial envoy here. Does the county magistrate dare to come and inform me?"
Shangguan Yu raised the corners of his lips proudly and replied.
After hearing what Shangguan Yu said, several people immediately understood.
When he was leaving the yard and preparing to go to the front hall of the inn for dinner, sure enough, as Shangguan Yu had expected, the county government had sent people to the inn where Shangguan Yu was staying. Because Shangguan Yu didn't want to reveal his identity, the person who came appeared to be relatively small.
He kept a low profile, just walked up to Shangguan Yu and others, whispered something, and then left the inn with Shangguan Yu and the others.
"Sir, the Queen is here."
A group of people entered the Zhao Mansion. At this time, the county magistrate Liang Kun was surveying the Zhao Mansion, looking impressive.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yu sneered twice in his heart and glanced at Liang Kun calmly.
This old fox is acting like he has nothing to do with this matter.
"I'm sorry to see you, the Queen."
Seeing Shangguan Yu coming, Liang Kun immediately stood up and saluted, pretending to be sorry and said: "Tsk, tsk, these robbers are so cruel and inhumane. They just robbed other people's money, but they actually killed their whole family. It's really sad."
Do your best."
"Have you found any clues, sir?"
Shangguan Yu walked around Liang Kun and squatted down to check the situation at the scene.
"Your Majesty, Wu Zuo has come to do an autopsy. Everyone in the Zhao family was killed by bandits with one knife."
"oh."
Shangguan Yu responded intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned his attention to another body that was carried out of the house.
This was a girl in torn clothes. Guan Yu had seen her the night before. At that time, she only made a rough judgment and did not make any accurate conclusions.
"Mother, the deceased was the only daughter of the owner of the Zhao Mansion. She was violated before her death."
Liang Kun followed Shangguan Yu and explained.
Only then did Shangguan Yu take a closer look at the body of Miss Zhao's body and found that there were no wounds like swords on her body.
"How did she die?"
she asked smoothly.
"Back to the empress, Wu Zuo took out a few grains of gold from her belly. She must have swallowed the gold and committed suicide because she couldn't stand the bullying of the thieves."
While Liang Kun was speaking, the autopsy examiner had already handed over a white cloth with a few small grains of gold placed on it, which should have been taken out of Miss Zhao's belly.
Shangguan Yu felt a little disgusted, covered his nose with his hand, and shook his head, "What a pity."
