Chapter 105 The ill-fated princess (please subscribe!)
Last night, at 8:45 p.m., a masked man broke into Princess Axiu's room. Two maids heard the noise in the side room and hurriedly came out to check, but were knocked unconscious by two-handed knives.
, gagged and tied up in a side room.
When the two women woke up, it was already between Yin o'clock and Mao o'clock (around 5 o'clock in the morning). Since the sound insulation effect of the house was relatively good, it was about a quarter past Mao o'clock that the two women vaguely heard the door being pushed open and closed.
, it seems that someone walked out.
In other words, the criminal stayed inside for four hours...
Worried about the safety of the princess, the two women were so anxious that they struggled on the legs of the table for a long time before breaking the cloth strips tied to their hands.
Then he hurried to the outside.
But they saw Princess Axiu with a dull expression, lying on her back on the wooden bed crookedly, with a small brocade quilt covering her body, staring straight at the roof.
The person is still alive, but the soul seems to be gone.
This is probably what happened.
The two maids sobbed and finished speaking, with sad faces on their faces.
"General, you have to make the decision for my princess... Wuwuwu... Princess, she has such a bad fate..."
Although seven families live next to each other in the same courtyard, Princess Axiu's residence is actually very large. In a courtyard-like layout, the seven families are surrounded by four courtyards, and each individual house is far apart.
And because it is a house left by the old Qiang king, the walls of each house are very thick, the beams and roofs are all made of solid wood, and the sound insulation effect is excellent. Only weak movements can be heard through the windows.
Therefore, even if the criminal stayed in the princess's bedroom for four hours, no one outside would notice anything unusual.
Ma Su nodded, having a rough understanding of the ins and outs of the matter, and looked around at the other five people with a serious expression.
"Five of us are still in someone's home, and in front of someone's maid... I'm looking for a place with no outsiders! The morals are too corrupt, the nature is too bad! Oh~ push it! If you really can't control yourself, then
You can spend a little money on a trouser belt, but it won’t cost much. There are plenty of Shuiling sisters out there..."
After hearing this, the five of them lowered their heads slightly and remained silent. They felt sympathy for the princess's tragic experience.
Some of them feel a little bit regretful...
This bad guy...why can't he be me?
Ma Su looked around one by one with majestic eyes, and he first stopped at Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu looked around and said with a confused look on his face: "General, what do you think I am doing? You know me. I, a rural person, never do anything to force others."
Zhang Xiu has an upright and kind-hearted personality, well, it shouldn't be him. Ma Su nodded and his eyes fell on Hezhishi Meng.
Hezhi was inexplicably panicked by Ma Su's sharp gaze, and he hesitated: "General, you know me. Although I look mighty, I actually prefer to deal with men. If it were me...last night
You should have entered the second brother’s room.”
That's true. This guy is inseparable from the elegant-looking Egu'er every day. It shouldn't be him. Ma Su slightly chins his head and his eyes fall on Egu'er.
Egu'er looked serious: "General, you know that I am incapable of fighting a chicken, and I am definitely no match for the princess and the concubine."
The implication is that the person who can harm the princess must first be someone who is more powerful than her.
Who would dare to offend the princess?
One hundred lives are not enough for her to kill!
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized, and all eyes were focused on the young general Zhao Yun.
Is that you? General Zhao?
Only you here can beat Princess Axiu. You have the motive and conditions to commit the crime.
Zhao Yun was particularly annoyed by the gazes of everyone. He waved his hands angrily and said loudly: "Everyone, you know me. I am 63 years old. How can I do such a shameless thing?"
"Besides, everyone in the world knows that Zhao is not a womanizer by nature, and he has been doing so for more than 60 years. Everyone must know that Fan, the sister-in-law of Zhao Fan, the former prefect of Changsha..."
That makes sense.
Everyone shook their heads.
Indeed, General Zhao did not like this.
When Fan's beauty came to his door, he refused without hesitation.
Ma Su nodded and looked sternly at the last person, the Qiang girl.
The Qiang girl looked around and saw everyone looking at her, with innocent eyes and said: "General, you know me, I am a woman..."
Women? Women are scary when they go crazy.
Everyone pouted.
They all saw that day, Axiu obeyed the Qiang girl's words and showed no resistance at all.
Ma Su still stared straight at the Qiang girl.
The Qiang girl had no choice but to timidly explain: "General, the little witch can't even beat a chicken... let alone these two maids..."
The two maids nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's a man, not a great wizard."
Everyone looked around in dismay.
After searching all over, the murderer could not be found, so everyone had to turn their attention to Ma Di.
There are six suspects in the compound. General, should you prove yourself?
Ma Di took in everyone's expressions and waved his hand angrily: "Why are you looking at me?"
"I only have the great wizard in my heart!"
As soon as these words came out, the Qiang girl was the first to be unable to resist, her pretty face turned red, she covered her face with her hands, and ran away with small steps.
Egu Ermeng hesitated again and again, but still asked: "I heard that the general has already married a wife, and there are five sons at home. The youngest one is waiting to be fed. I wonder if this rumor is true?"
you know too much!
Ma Su glared at him fiercely.
Egu'er couldn't resist for a moment, so he bowed his hands and resigned.
"General..." Zhang Xiu hesitated for a while, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, saying: "Sister-in-law wrote a letter yesterday."
Then he turned around and left.
Hezhi opened his mouth suddenly, and was about to taunt Ma Su when he heard a prolonged scolding:
"Brother... house... um..."
Hezhi suddenly shut up and scurried away with his head in his hands.
Zhao Yun came closer, patted Ma Su on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Youchang, my sister-in-law comes from a wealthy family in Jingxiang. She is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, manages the family well, and has many heirs under her knees. Don't let her down..."
After a pause, he added: "The great wizard is not bad, so don't let her down..."
Before leaving, Zhao Yun glanced at the door of Princess Axiu's room, shook his head and left.
Ma Su was the only one left in the yard.
In order to find the perpetrator, Qiang Nu tried to communicate with Axiu... because Axiu was the only one who had seen the criminal's true face and had dealt with him for several hours.
But Axiu's expression was dull, and she could not answer any of her hundreds of questions.
Helpless, the Qiang girl had no choice but to gently comfort Axiu, telling her to eat first and take care of herself.
A Xiu silently followed this advice.
After eating with an expressionless face, he lay down on the bed, straightened his body again, and fell into a daze.
At this point, even the Qiang women had no choice.
All of a sudden, all the clues were cut off, and the matter of Princess Axiu being raped suddenly became an unsolved case that lingered in the minds of everyone in the compound for a long time.
The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became tense...
Everyone is in danger.
Before it got dark, the Qiang girls had locked the door to their room early and placed two tables and three chairs behind the door. Then they covered their heads and huddled under the quilt, frightening themselves.
She always felt that she would follow in the footsteps of Princess Axiu.
As timid as the Qiang women was Egu Er.
Perhaps Hezhi's fierce words during the day, "You must enter the second brother's room if you want to enter," scared him, or perhaps it was to prove that he was not the murderer. Not only did he bolt the door tightly, he also sprinkled plant ash on the floor in the room.
Judging from the situation, he planned not to get out of bed all night.
Seeing that the two of them were so nervous, Zhang Xiu and Hezhi glanced at each other fiercely. As if they were facing a formidable enemy, they turned off the lights early and went to bed, staring wide-eyed in the dark night and listening to what was going on around them.
But unfortunately, all night long, they heard nothing except the howling of the north wind outside the window.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Everyone was once again woken up by the two maids yelling.
