Chapter 54: Vinegar jar
"Brother Shuo, how did you get the injury on your palm?" Yun Wan asked with concern on her face.
"While investigating the case, I was injured by a hidden weapon, but fortunately I was not poisoned." Shen Yishuo recalled that when he found the body of the prefect, he was too impatient and tripped on a thin line in the grass to trigger the mechanism. Fortunately, he hid quickly and subconsciously
When he was covering his cheek with his hands, he was scratched by a hidden weapon. If he hadn't reacted quickly, it might have been more serious. Not to mention the disfigurement, what if he was really blind?
"Brother Shuo's investigation is really dangerous. I wonder what happened in Qingzhou?" Yun Wan asked nonchalantly.
"The local magistrate was kidnapped. He left a note in which he secretly mourned the clan alliance and demanded a ransom from the government." When mentioning the secret clan alliance, Shen Yishuo noticed that Yun Wan's eyes were slightly sad. She must have known about Duanmu Chong.
Ze was probably kidnapped and killed by him.
"How about the prefect?" Yun Wan asked with concern.
"When we found Mr. Liu in the dense forest, his hand and hamstrings had been severed and tied to a tree. He was bleeding to death." Shen Yishuo said while observing Yun Wan's expression.
"It's so tragic." Yun Wan asked in confusion, "Is it really the Dark Shang Alliance?"
"In my humble opinion, it doesn't seem to be the work of the Dark Shang Alliance. It's most likely that Mr. Liu was seeking revenge." Shen Yishuo said with certainty.
"Can you find the poisoned silver needle?" Yun Wan asked.
"No, the secret attack on the sect alliance was just for money, and there was no reason to cause tragic death. It was already unusual for Lord Duanmu to have so many sword wounds in his heart at that time, and it was even more strange for Lord Liu to die." Shen Yishuo made it clear that Yun Wan knew.
Her father died of poisoning, so she only said a few words about the case, which was considered an explanation to Yun Wan.
"It's really strange. Not looking for money, using such cruel methods is really like seeking revenge." Yun Wan guessed that the case in Qingzhou was just under the banner of secretly attacking the clan alliance.
"Sister Wan is right. I have seen Master Liu before. He is an upright and honest man. However, Qingzhou is mostly filled with local tyrants and evil gentry. He must have offended someone, otherwise he would not have ended up like this." Shen Yishuo shook his head regretfully.
, the scene of Magistrate Liu with his head lowered and his back leaning against a big tree appeared in front of him again, covered in blood. Even if he did not die from bleeding from the wound, he would starve and freeze to death if he was tied to the tree without eating or drinking.
"Brother Shuo, everyone has their own destiny, just live well in the moment." After hearing what Shen Yishuo said, Yun Wan knew that the case was definitely not solved yet, so she comforted Shen Yishuo.
"Well, Sister Wan is right. Lord Duanmu is upright and upright. He has no enemies but he still suffers misfortune..." Shen Yishuo felt that the more he said, the more inappropriate he said, so he quickly changed the topic, "Sister Wan, don't worry,
I will definitely catch the real culprit as soon as possible."
"Thank you, brother, for thinking about my father. Yun Wan is very grateful." Yun Wan was very happy to be able to be so candid with Shen Yishuo. After all, as a prince, you don't have to worry about it.
"You're welcome, sister." Shen Yishuo helped Yun Wan up. He couldn't bear to bow to her. She was obviously still a weak woman who needed her father's protection, but she lost her support early on. Anyone who saw her would feel very pitiful about her.
"Third brother~" Dugu Xiaomeng saw Shen Yishuo from a distance, but did not recognize the two women next to him. When he walked in, he found that they were Yun Wan and her maid, especially when he saw Yun Wan giving Shen Yishuo
After Shuo saluted and was helped up, Dugu Xiaomeng asked unhappily: "Why are you here?"
"Hello, Fourth Prince." Yun Wan didn't want to pay attention to that sad face, and directly greeted Shen Yiene.
"Third brother, sister Yun Wan, what a coincidence." Shen Yifen winked at Shen Yishuo, watching the two of them talking calmly, and suddenly Shen Yishuo stepped forward to help Yun Wan, who was bowing, and he didn't Understand what's going on.
"Fourth brother, Xiaomeng, and sister Wan are here to see how I am injured?" Shen Yishuo explained as he felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"You are obviously the culprit, but you still have the nerve to come." Dugu Xiaomeng muttered.
"Xiao Meng, don't be rude." Shen Yishuo was afraid that Yun Wan would blame herself.
"Brother Shuo, Fourth Prince, my sister has something to do, so I'll leave first." Yun Wan pulled Xue Qing to leave without even looking at Dugu Xiaomeng.
"You're already here, why are you in a hurry?" Seeing Yun Wan was about to leave, Shen Yihen pushed Dugu Xiaomeng, just wanting her to have a good talk with Yun Wan, even if it was to see off guests.
"Why are you pushing me? You are obviously a snobbery." Dugu Xiaomeng said even more angrily when she found out that Yun Wan was treating her like air.
"As long as you're not snobbish, okay?" Shen Yifen noticed that the third brother had a gloomy look on his face, so he first spoke to Dugu Xiaomeng.
"Ze Fenglin is also injured. Why doesn't she go and have a look?" Dugu Xiao dreamed of Yun Wan walking away and said loudly on purpose. She was not the one to be offended.
"Xiaomeng, if you keep doing this, don't come to see me." Shen Yishuo turned around and entered the house. He wanted to see Yun Wan off, but Dugu Xiaomeng didn't have time to say goodbye to his sister Wan due to all the fuss. But when he saw Yun Wan walking away without looking back, he felt a little sad. Maybe Yun Wan came to see him just to get some inner comfort.
