Chapter 307 Luo Tong

Xue Bai knelt down, stretched out his hand, and spread the lips of the female corpse, revealing that she had very neat teeth.

In addition, the lipstick on her lips is bright in color and does not smudge easily after being applied to her hands and rubbed.

According to Xue Bai's experience, this lipstick is better than the one used by Du Wei, and not inferior to the one used by Yang Yuyao. When he smelled it again, there was a faint smell of tulips donated by the Kapi Kingdom. As far as he knew, it was the sage's gift in the twelfth lunar month.

The "palace wall red" rewarded here.

"Xue Yushi, why don't you give it a try?"

Suddenly a sarcastic remark rang in my ears, it was Luo Xishi.

"Looking so carefully, can you see anything?"

"Censor Luo came so quickly, but is he nearby?" Xue Bai asked instead without answering.

"Just arrived." Luo Xishi said: "I heard that several consorts are attending a banquet at Princess Xincheng's house and came to join in the fun."

"Which princes-in-law?"

"Xue Yushi all recognizes him." Luo Xishi said: "Princess Xianyi's consort Yang Hui, Princess Yongmu's consort Wang Yao, and by the way, Princess Ningqin's consort Zhang Bian."

"I see."

Luo Xishi asked: "Can Yushi Xue guess what's going on?"

Xue Bai wiped the lipstick on his hands, shook his head and said, "I really can't guess."

He looked at the male corpse again. It was a young man dressed in green clothes and dressed like a servant. He had a delicate face and handsome features. Just looking at the clothes, it shouldn't be difficult to find out whose house it belonged to.

The cause of death of the two deceased persons was the same. Both had their necks broken. It should have been done by a strong man with great strength.

Du Youlin had ordered all the monks from Jingyu Temple to be brought over to start questioning.

Luo Xishi looked on with cold eyes, a slight sarcastic look on his face.

"When someone died in your temple, tell me what happened?"

The monks looked at each other, and finally, someone replied: "Back to Shaoyin, we were doing evening classes just now, and we don't know how they entered the temple, let alone how they died."

But an old monk sighed: "Amitabha."

Du Youlin asked: "Does Zen Master know what happened?"

"The poor monk was sweeping the floor in the temple when he saw the two benefactors entering the temple for a tryst." The old monk turned around, looked at a statue in the side hall, and said: "They were in front of the Guangmu Vajra, and they were promiscuous during the day. Guangmu Vajra

Then he released a giant snake and strangled the two men to death."

When everyone looked around, they saw the Wide-Eyed Vajra sitting upright in the west, glaring with anger, holding a giant snake in his hand, looking down at them, as if he was examining the evils in the world.

There was silence in the court.

suddenly.

"Hahahaha." Luo Xishi laughed, raised his hand and pointed, saying: "Old monk, are you saying that this statue is the one who killed people?"

"It's the Wide-Eyed King Kong."

"It's ridiculous." Luo Xishi put away his smile, showed his authority, and shouted: "Who asked you to say that? Why don't you invite me?!"

"Amitabha, a poor monk should not tell lies."

"Put this old monk in jail and I will interrogate him personally."

As soon as Luo Xishi gave the order, someone from the Jingzhao Mansion guards behind Du Youlin immediately obeyed the order.

Ever since Ji Wen was appointed as the legal director of Jingzhao Prefecture, these people have followed the orders of "Luo Cong Ji Wang" and have not changed much over the years. This is one of the reasons why Yang Guozhong must get rid of Luo Xishi.

Seeing this situation, Du Youlin had no choice but to do anything.

Xue Bai watched the changes quietly, thinking that since it was Li Linfu and Zhang Bian fighting each other, they would naturally take action and not be in a hurry to take action.

He guessed that Luo Xishi was looking for Zhang Yanyang's foreign wife, and that the dead woman was probably really Zhang Yan's foreign wife.

Not long after, the newly-appointed Jingzhao Prefecture's Dacao Yanwu strode over. When he saw Xue Bai, he nodded first.

Yan Wu should be a very smart man. Not long after he took office, he had already bribed a few servants, not many, but at least he could do things. In this case, he was neither biased towards Luo Xishi nor Du Youlin, and his attitude was to deal with business matters.

.

"Identity checked."

Yan Wu pointed at the male corpse and said, "It's a servant of Princess Xincheng's mansion."

~~

Today the saint has twenty-nine daughters, five of whom died young.

It is quite difficult for the courtiers to remember the remaining twenty-four princesses and their consorts, not to mention some cases of remarriage.

There was a banquet at Princess Xincheng's Mansion today, and all the princes and princesses were invited. Since a murder case was involved, people from Jingzhao Mansion and Yushitai inevitably came to inquire.

After hearing the news, before Princess Xincheng and her consort Dugu Ming could speak, Princess Ningqin had already spoken: "How dare you come to disturb us even though two slaves are dead? If you don't see me, throw them out."

Her husband-in-law will soon become the Prime Minister, and she is very proud among the princesses. Compared to Princess Xincheng and Dugu Ming, she is more like the host of the banquet.

Princess Xianyi was not used to it and asked: "Who is coming?"

"Jingzhao Shaoyin Du has a neighbor, Jingzhao Facao Yanwu, and the imperial censors Luo Xishi and Xue Bai."

"Xue Lang is here?" Wang Yao said with a smile: "Then how about meeting him?"

Siqi King Li Zhen also laughed loudly and said: "Okay, I haven't seen Xue Lang for a long time. He is a wonderful man."

Princess Ningqin wanted Zhang Bian to come forward and save her face, but when she turned around, she didn't know where Zhang Bian had gone.

Soon, several officials were brought in.

Du Youlin's biggest problem as an official is not that he is not good at practical matters, but that he is not tactful enough. This problem is usually invisible, but in such a situation where there are a lot of ministers, it is considered a lack of timidity.

He didn't take the kings, princesses, and princes-in-law too seriously, and immediately said: "There was a murder in Jingyu Temple next door. Please tell Princess Xincheng and the prince-in-law to identify who the deceased is."

On the contrary, Luo Xishi, who had a bad reputation, was full of flattery at this time. Before these nobles could get angry, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Human life is at stake, and the subordinates dare not fail to do their best, lest word spread."

Princess Xincheng then glanced at the maid beside her and ordered: "Let the steward identify it."

Not long after, the steward came back after identifying her, and reported: "Back to the princess, she is indeed a servant boy in the mansion, but... I don't recognize that woman."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone became curious.

"What? It was the servant boy of the princess's house who seduced the maidservant of another family and was strangled to death by the snake released by King Kong?"

"..."

In the midst of the discussion, Luo Xishi stepped forward and said, "May I ask, is the consort Zhang Bian here?"

"What's the matter?" Princess Ningqin replied.

"Excuse me for being rude." Luo Xishi said, "I should have found out this case."

Although he didn't say what he had found, he first asked if Zhang Bian was there, which made everyone here realize that the case was related to Zhang Bian.

Princess Ningqin immediately turned cold. Her first reaction was not to trust and protect her husband, but to find out what he had done. She said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Xiaguan had something important to report to Zhang's consort, so he came over to ask for an audience." Luo Xishi said: "Xiaguan came in from the west gate of Xuanyangfang and saw Zhang's consort carrying a woman into Jingyu Temple. After that,

A servant boy in green clothes entered the temple."

Halfway through his words, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Du Youlin glanced at Xue Bai and secretly thought that Luo Xishi didn't say these things just now, obviously he wanted to make them public on purpose.

Luo Xishi added: "But when the official entered the Jingyu Temple, the consort was missing, and only two corpses were seen... I think it was the consort who was worried that the princess would be angry, so he killed and silenced her."

Princess Ningqin was indeed very angry. Even though she was in full view of the public, she still couldn't help but get angry at the people around her and yelled: "Why don't you go find the consort?!"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on her, which was a great shame for a noble person like her.

Seeing that everyone was already interested in this matter, Luo Xishi whispered and ordered the servants to move the female body to the front yard. This scared some princesses who had never seen a dead person, but more people gathered around to take a look.

Whispering quietly.

"Sure enough, Zhang Bian still raised a foreign wife..."

Among the crowd, Yang Hui poured a glass of wine, handed it to Xue Bai, and smiled politely.

Xue Bai then remembered that he had seen Yang Huiyang's outer room before, and this was a request to keep it secret.

"What happened?"

Following this question, someone walked out from the back of the lobby. It was Zhang Bian who was slightly drunk.

Princess Ning went crazy when she saw him. She picked up the cup and smashed it, cursing.

Zhang Bian looked confused. After hearing what happened, he stepped forward and took a look at the female corpse, but his expression did not change.

"I don't recognize her."

As Zhang Bian spoke, he picked up the wine glass that his wife had smashed over, drank a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "What a 'Luo Tong', how can you persecute me? But do you only have this small means?"

Luo Xishi said: "Could it be that Prince Consort Zhang thinks that I have no evidence..."

Just at this moment, someone else said something.
