"This time, the murderer not only learned how to control people to strangle themselves-" Zhang Tang said.
"He can also control many people at the same time," Wang Yi said.
"Moreover,
Even the Shadow Guard can't do it without hurting Li Xiao's wrist,
Prying open Li Xiao's hand... perhaps we can assume that,
This murderer is very strong, "Xu Ting said.
"Maybe strength is also a kind of superpower," Chen Jue said.
"..." Xu Ting.
"She's learning,
To become a better killer. "Chen Jue frowned deeply.
Today, it had been particularly stuffy since the afternoon. In the evening,
The sky was overcast, and the air pressure was getting lower and lower.
Chen Jue took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. There were dark clouds covering the sky,
Blocking the moon.
Wang Yi also raised his head,
Suddenly whispered softly, "It's going to rain."
"..." Chen Jue.
When the sky was completely dark, it suddenly started to rain.
Chen Jue called Wang Yi over at the last minute and ordered him to go to the mansions of the ten young ladies tomorrow morning.
He ordered that every young lady must be interrogated at the North yamen of the Dali Monastery before noon,
No disobedience!
Go immediately!
..
The Minister of Personnel Affairs - House of Ge.
The simple and solemn style of the mansions and the temperament of the entire mansion were incompatible with the soft temperament of Lord Ge.
However, it was the embodiment of Lady Ge's temperament, who loved to socialize and organize poetry gatherings, spring parties, and other banquets.
Early in the morning, after receiving Wang Yi's order,
Lady Ge was busy.
However, there was no worry on her face that her daughter might be a murderer,
Instead, it was full of anticipation and nervousness.
In order to dress Ge Zhen up prettily and smelling good,
She ordered all the servants in the mansion to do her bidding.
"Ban Xia, go and pour that basin of water away." Lady Ge pointed at Xiao Tong, who was standing at the side.
Xiao Tong was much taller than the average servant girl.
A youth of his age shouldn't stay by the young miss's side to serve her.
She had reached the age where she had to avoid arousing suspicion.
However, Ban Xia was the maid serving Second Miss Ge.
Because he was a natural eunuch, he did not have a male penis since he was young.
After Ban Xia was discovered by the mammy of the House of Ge, he was bought. Unless he was a relative of the royal family, he was not allowed to be castrated. This was the rule.
However, it was different for a natural eunuch. To be able to meet a strong servant who could protect the young lady and serve her personally was a stroke of good luck.
When Ban Xia heard the order, he answered in a low voice and went out.
Lady Ge looked at Ban Xia's appearance and was silent for a while before saying: "Go to the North yamen of the Dali Monastery. Don't bring Ban Xia.
If Lord Chen finds fault and says that we don't follow the rules and use a castrated person, it would be terrible.
Don't leave a bad impression for Lord Chen. "
Although Ban Xia was very useful, he was still a cripple. Many people in the House of Ge treated him with some reservations.
They wanted to use him, but they also disliked him.
Ge Zhen was currently surrounded by two mamas combing her hair. While she was saying "en", she grimaced as her hair was pulled.
"Niang, why are you like this — —" Ge Zhen grumbled in dissatisfaction at Lady Ge's behavior of dressing her up too seriously.
"Niang knows your thoughts. You should give up on Qiao Shizi.
It's impossible for our House of Ge to form a marriage alliance with Jing Bei Hou fu. "Lady Ge put a hairpin on the dressing table.
"Why?" Ge Zhen sneered in displeasure.
"Hurry up and dress up. When we go to the Dali Monastery, lower your head in front of Chen Jue and be a virtuous lady!" Lady Ge's tone was threatening.
"Then what about Lord Chen?
He has a fierce face. "How could he be as handsome as Qiao Fang.
"What do you know? Qiao Fang is just a shizi. What's the point of having a title? The life in the marquis fu isn't something that a da xiaojie like you can live.
Lord Chen is different. He's young and has his own fu in the capital. If you marry over, you'll be the master of the entire fu. "Lady Ge said.
Lady Ge hated that her daughter didn't know what to do.
She patiently beat her down: "Only twenty-four years old. Who in the entire capital doesn't give him face?
This kind of person, even if you want to, you might not be able to. "
As she spoke, Lady Ge turned to glare at her daughter.
… …
Minister of Revenue – Zhao fu.
"Niang, isn't it too grand to dress like this?"
Third Miss Zhao Qing twirled in a circle. The bright pink dress made her look charming and lovely. But wearing this to the yamen, wasn't it inappropriate?
Lady Zhao took out a phoenix tail hair ornament from the mama's tray. She found a place in her daughter's hair and inserted it.
Then she took two steps back and examined it.
"Beautiful." A smile hung on Lady Zhao's chubby face, "It's fine as long as it's beautiful."
"Lord Chen is the hottest single talent in the capital. He's a third-rank official at such a young age. Who knows what kind of official he'll be in the future.
Aiyo, I heard that he was picky before. "
Lady Zhao couldn't hide the smile on her face. She was so happy at the mention of Lord Chen that it was as if Chen Jue was already her son-in-law.
"Lord Chen … Will he be picky about me too?" Third Miss Zhao was a little embarrassed and unconfident.
"Of course not!
Our Qing 'er is the prettiest among these young ladies, "Lady Zhao said.
Zhao Qing held the bronze mirror and looked at herself repeatedly. She was a little shy, "Niang, is the blush too red?"
"You're young. Blushing makes you look cute." Lady Zhao was very satisfied.
Zhao Qing was a little doubtful. Elders liked to put two red circles on children's faces. They said it was cute, but … it was too rustic.
"Mama, help me wipe it off. I don't want such red blush." Zhao Qing said.
"No, this is good." Lady Zhao smiled differently.
"No, mama, hurry up." Zhao Qing said.
… …
Sixth Miss Zhou's carriage was passing by Lord Zheng's residence, so she picked up Eighth Miss Zheng.
The two ladies were both relatively young, about fourteen or fifteen years old, so they were able to get along very well.
Sixth Miss Zhou was dressed in green, which contrasted with her snow-white skin.
Eighth Miss Zheng was dressed in white, and her sleeves and collar were inlaid with gold. She was pretty and refined.
The two of them sat in the carriage and started chatting. They didn't look like they were being summoned to court for a murder at all. It was more like they were going to a jewelry store together.
"Did you see Lord Chen?
He's so agile. I heard that he solves cases like a god, but I didn't hear that he's so skilled. "
"Yes, and look at Lord Chen's eyes. He looks really smart."
"I was shocked when he saved her!
He's so cool … I only saw him pick up his cousin and run away. So it really worked after they ran far away. "
"Wow, it really scared me yesterday. I couldn't sleep at night."
"Me too, but Lord Chen is really surprising. When he rushed over, he was so fast …"
"He's a little impressive."
"Did you see how he looked at that time?
It's true … Wow … "The little girl covered her face. She wanted to say it but felt a little shy.
"Haha …"
… …
In the mansions of the ten young ladies, each family had their own madams and daughters with different temperaments.
But in the face of the opportunity to meet Lord Chen, Chen Jue, they were all prepared to seize this opportunity to teach Lord Chen a lesson — to show him how beautiful they were.
They were indeed gorgeously dressed, wearing gold and silver. When they walked into the gate of the North yamen of Dali Monastery, the guards at the gate were a little overwhelmed.
They had never seen such a scene before. So many delicate young ladies, dressed up and bustling as they poured into the Supreme Court's yamen one after another.
After the young ladies entered the yamen and walked a few meters away, they could still smell the fragrance of the perfume. It was sweet, fragrant, and even fruity.
The guards at Dali Monastery blushed from the moment the first young lady stepped into the gate until the young ladies left …
… …
The weather today was always gloomy, and it was the same in the main hall of Dali Monastery.
"Do you know which of the other nine young ladies have old grudges or conflicts with Ge Yue, Fang Yuanling, and Liu Qi?" When it was time to meet the sixth young lady alone, Zhang Tang asked as usual.
"Conflicts … Previously, Second Sister Qian quarreled with Fifth Sister Liu because of a handkerchief."
"Second Sister Ge had a big fight with Third Sister Ge because of a servant in her family. But they quarreled often."
"Second Sister Ge also quarreled with Third Sister Qian because of Heir Qiao and Third Sister Qian …" The young lady in the light blue brocade dress deliberately spoke in a gentle tone while secretly sizing up Chen Jue.
When she saw Chen Jue frown more and more, her fluttering heart became timid. She was so nervous that she was about to get allergic.
The admiration she had for Lord Chen from afar gradually turned into fear.
"Do you know who likes Heir Qiao?" Zhang Tang suddenly interrupted.
Chen Jue also wanted to ask this question. He had heard enough of these young ladies talking nonsense and was very annoyed.
Every two young ladies would quarrel with each other, and it was always over some trivial matter.
In contrast, the poor crying girl at home was as obedient as a fairy.
"Heir Qiao?"
The little girl lowered her head and lowered her eyes. "Heir Qiao has good conditions and is also handsome. There are many people who like him. I know that the few sisters who came to the Supreme Court today are all interested in Heir Qiao."
"What about those who like him very much and are very persistent?"
Zhang Tang wanted to write, but he paused when he heard the young lady's words. There was no key point, so he had to continue asking.
"Second Sister Ge likes him very much and can't stand others saying anything good about Heir Qiao. But it's also because Second Sister Ge has a straightforward temper.
She expresses her emotions so fiercely.
As for the other words … Fourth Sister Ding also likes them very much. Although she is introverted and doesn't say much, every time Heir Qiao appears, her eyes never turn. "The young lady tried hard to recall.
"But is there any other information that you think is particularly important?
For example, you think someone is very strange?
Was he suspicious?
You have a very fierce personality, or you are very vengeful and good at hiding yourself. "Zhang Tang took down a few notes and looked up to ask again.
The young lady thought for a while and shook her head. Her gaze fell on Chen Jue again and she tried hard to give him a shy smile.
"…" Chen Jue.
He tapped the table and Zhang Tang immediately understood. He asked the guard to send this young lady away and replaced her with the next one.
During this time, Chen Jue's face was cold and he didn't say anything.
Zhang Tang also turned his head and secretly looked at Chen Jue. When he met Chen Jue's gaze, he quickly avoided it and continued to pretend to be busy.
