As he was talking, he suddenly heard a lot of noise coming from outside.
Liu Yue, the maid next to Shen Baitang, walked in quickly with a look of panic on her face: "Girl, someone is dead outside..."
With one sentence, the three girls who were bickering fell silent at the same time.
"Who?" Shen Fengxu asked first.
Liuyue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "My servant doesn't know either, but there are many people surrounding me outside, including Qing Linwei."
"I understand." Shen Fengxu didn't say much and stepped outside, "Let's go out and have a look."
She has been investigating cases recently and is always particularly sensitive to the appearance of the dead. Now that a dead person appears, she naturally wants to take a look.
Seeing Shen Fengxu leaving first, Shen Baitang followed suit: "I'll go too."
The two sisters left one after another, leaving Jiang Xianyue to hold back the rest of her words. She immediately stamped her feet and gritted her teeth, saying: "Wait a minute!"
But Shen Fengxu and Shen Baitang didn't look back, so Jiang Xianyue followed them.
Asparagus Bookstore is located in Wutong Alley, which is connected to Yuque Avenue.
Jade Bird Avenue is the main road in the capital and the most prosperous area. The street is about forty feet wide and can accommodate several horse-drawn carriages. There are countless shops and vendors on the street, bustling with traffic and a large number of people.
As soon as Fang walked out of the bookstore, he saw groups of Qing Linwei wearing cold armor walking in the market, with solemn expressions and unsmiling expressions. The sun shone on their cold armor, reflecting a dazzling luster, and there were war boots under their feet. The boots made a clicking sound as they walked on the ground.
The Qinglin Guard is a unique military and political office of this dynasty. It is directly subordinate to Emperor Ming Jin of Daluo. The people in the Qinglin Guard are all carefully selected people, including many children of aristocratic families. Anyone who has ever served under Qinglin With Wei's experience, he will have a great future no matter what industry he is engaged in in the future.
Therefore, countless young talents in the capital compete for the spot of Qing Linwei.
But there were naturally very few people who came from well-known families. After all, the literary style of the Great Luo Dynasty was flourishing and they were proud of literature. However, Qinglinwei was a military official, so the wealthy and powerful people looked down upon him to some extent.
"Wow... so majestic..." A familiar voice came from the side, full of envy.
Chen Fengxu turned around and saw a young man riding a horse on the street, holding a food box in his hand. He opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction of Qing Linwei with a look of envy on his face.
"Isn't that second brother?" Shen Baitang also looked over, "Why is he here too?"
The man is none other than Shen Cang, the second son of Dongningbo Mansion.
Chen Fengxu shook his head and called out: "Second brother!"
When Shen Cang heard the sound, he turned around quickly and saw that it was sisters Shen Baitang and Shen Fengxu. He got off the horse and trotted over.
"Why are you here?" Shen Cang asked, then turned to look at Shen Fengxu, "Isn't today Liu Mei's birthday?"
"That's why I came out for a walk." Shen Fengxu smiled and looked at the thing in Shen Cang's hand, "What is the second brother holding?"
Shen Cang gave the food box to Shen Fengxu, scratched his head and said: "Because today is your birthday, after thinking about it, I don't think there is anything I can give you. Gold, silver, pearls and jade are too tacky. Tingyu Ning said you like sweets, so she went to Furong Pavilion to buy some snacks."
Chen Fengxu felt warm in his heart and said with a smile, "Second brother is interested."
There are only two young masters in the Dongning family, Shen Qing and Shen Cang, so they naturally have high hopes for him. Since Shen Qing entered Bailu Academy, he has always performed well in literary examinations and won the favor of the old lady and Shen Yanning. On the contrary, it was the second young master Shen Qing. Cang had little interest in reading and learning calligraphy. He was either skipping school all day, or on the way to school, or occasionally having fun with a few friends.
Shen Yanping always hated that iron could not become steel, but because he was his only son, even though he often disciplined him, Shen Cang's nature did not change, so he had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted.
Shen Cang is such an ignorant and incompetent second son.
But although he is the second son of the second wife, he is much kinder to Shen Fengxu and Shen Baitang than Shen Qing in the first house.
Shen Cang turned around and saw Jiang Xiuyue on the side, and greeted him with a smile, and said, "Cousin Xiuyue is here too. Did you come to play with them today?"
Not really.
But not reaching out to hit the smiling person, Jiang Xianyue could only say calmly: "I just happened to run into them."
After a few simple greetings, Shen Cang turned to look in the direction of Qinglinwei, his tone full of envy: "Qinglinwei looks so majestic, and I really want to go, not for anything else but just for the sake of it." That outfit is worth it..."
"If the second brother dares to go to Qinglinwei, the second uncle will be able to pick up the board and chase you." Chen Fengxu shook his head and laughed.
She only thought Shen Cang was joking. After all, if his uncle's son really went to Qinglinwei, wouldn't he become a laughing stock in the capital? Although Qinglinwei was directly subordinate to Emperor Ming Jin, in the final analysis, In the hearts of everyone, he is still not as good as the official position in the previous dynasty.
But Shen Cang shook his head and said in an extremely serious tone: "I must go!"
"What happened here?" Shen Baitang frowned slightly and asked, "Qinglin Guards are here, it's not a trivial matter after all."
"Didn't the girl next to you say something? Someone died." Jiang Xiuyue said coldly.
Shen Baitang snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to Jiang Xiangyue.
Shen Cang ordered the guards around him: "Go and see what's going on."
The guard responded and left.
Qing Linwei was in front of a shop, but there was a crowd of people around, and their sight was blocked by others, so they couldn't see clearly what was going on. It was inconvenient for them to rush into the crowd, so they could only watch from a distance. .
Within a moment, the guards squeezed out from the crowd with difficulty.
He came back, with a strange look on his face, and said: "Sir, this matter... someone caught the traitor."
"Ah? Isn't he dead?" Shen Cang was stunned, "Qing Linwei came to catch the traitor?!"
"It's Ji Feng, the young master from the family of the Minister of Rites. He was having a passionate affair with the daughter of the Rouge Shop owner... cough." The guard coughed lowly and continued, "At the critical moment, the boss suddenly came back. , I’ll give Young Master Ji a beating if I catch him, and that girl was already engaged to someone else a few years ago, so that’s why so many people are watching.”
Hearing this, Chen Fengxu suddenly lost interest: "There are no dead people?"
She was not interested in such romantic matters, and since it had nothing to do with the case, she didn't bother to bother.
The guard shook his head and said: "The daughter of the owner of the rouge shop is dead now."
"Could it be that the boss was so angry that he beat his daughter to death?" Shen Cang frowned.
"That's not true. I heard from others that his daughter died suddenly of vomiting blood."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fengxu tightened his fingers suddenly and said, "What did you say? Vomited blood and died suddenly?!"
