It seemed that Yuan Zhenghao didn't take these pots of flowers seriously. He did not place them in the main courtyard, but placed them casually on the flower path outside the corridor.
But, it's taken care of quite well, look at how happy it is.
Yuan Zhenghao doesn't need to take care of the flowers and plants. The key is their placement. Yuan Zhenghao's carelessness can be seen.
Xie Jing put down the flowerpot, then slipped to the roof of Yuan Zhenghao's study, took off a tile, and looked down.
Yuan Zhenghao was not inside, and it was still dark inside.
Xie Jing touched his chin, then uncovered a few more tiles and slipped down.
He wanted to find out if there was any suspicious physical evidence that could help his family prove that Yuan Zhenghao was the real murderer.
Or even more want to find: Yuan Zhenghao’s motive for murder.
Your Excellency is already quite confident that Yuan Zhenghao is the real culprit of the murder, but you have not asked them to come directly to arrest him. This means that you have not yet found Yuan Zhenghao's motive for the murder.
Xie Jing felt that there was really nothing wrong with her thinking this way.
He slipped down, relying on the light that was not completely dark, and relying on the night vision ability of martial arts practitioners that increases with the growth of internal strength, he cautiously and carefully searched for hidden compartments in the study.
I quickly found the hidden compartment, but there were only some thin gold bricks, banknotes and the like, and nothing special.
Xie Jing lay down and tapped the stone tiles on the ground one by one, listening to see if the sound was hollow.
After knocking a few pieces, he suddenly stopped.
It wasn't because anyone was coming, but because he suddenly remembered at this moment: There seemed to be something wrong with those gold bricks.
Then he reopened the fake wall tiles that were excavated in the wall to create a small dark room-like secret compartment.
Take out a thin gold brick inside that weighs about a pound.
I looked up and down, left and right, and touched it carefully, but I couldn't find any marks.
this……
If there is no abnormality, it is the biggest abnormality.
Xie Jing remembered what his elders often said, so he put the gold brick into his arms.
Then the fake bricks that were removed from the hidden grid were carefully placed back one by one.
Then continue knocking on the floor tiles.
It wasn't until he knocked on the floor tile under an ordinary bonsai behind the door and heard the "chirp" sound it made that he smiled with satisfaction to himself.
He just said that the "Eighteen Bachelors" have been left out, so why are ordinary bonsais placed in the house?
After moving the flowerpot and opening the floor tiles, I found an account book.
Xie Jing carefully blocked the light with her body, facing the account book into the corner, and blocked it with her outer robe, blew on the fire folding book, and quickly flipped through the account book.
However, he didn't see anything wrong with it.
This seems to be just an account record of the government's normal expenses and income.
Xie Jing, who couldn't understand, stuffed the account book into his arms without thinking.
It's just that this account book is still a bit thick. After stuffing it in, it feels bulging, which really destroys my chic temperament.
Xie Jing grinned silently, blew out the fire, rubbed his bulging belly, put the floor tiles back to their original places, put the bonsai back on top, then climbed up the roof beams and carried it outside the house.
suddenly!
I heard loud shouts of killing outside Yuan's mansion.
Immediately following the shouts of killing were groups of soldiers, wearing armor, holding blades in one hand and torches in the other, running in quickly from every door of Yuan's mansion.
Murderous.
And Xie Jing, standing at a high place, could naturally see at a glance: the entire Yuan Mansion was illuminated by densely packed torches.
In other words: Yuan Mansion was suddenly surrounded by heavy troops.
And the armor patterns on the soldiers who poured in were clearly those of the garrison!
The people in the Yuan Mansion were suddenly frightened and ran around in panic. Screams rang out from every corner.
Xie Jing didn't panic anymore.
He sat cross-legged on the roof, smiling so brightly that his peach-blossom eyes were crooked. He took out the folding fan from his waist and fanned himself while looking at a group of soldiers who were coming over, who were obviously dressed as generals. The man raised his hand and said hello.
"Hey, General, why are you here suddenly?"
What Xie Jing was thinking was: I'm afraid that some big bad thing Yuan Zhenghao did would fall into the hands of the garrison. Therefore, the garrison suddenly deployed heavy troops to surround Yuan's mansion at night.
This is just the right time, maybe by taking advantage of the evil deeds discovered by the other party about Yuan Zhenghao, he can catch Yuan Zhenghao back and investigate it in parallel with the case that his master is investigating.
Who knows.
When the other party raised his head and saw him, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Get the murderer!"
The soldiers immediately bent their bows and set arrows, aiming at Xie Jing.
Xie Jing: "..."
He kicked his legs gracefully, straightened his back, stood up and said: "I am the personal fourth-grade imperial guard with a sword who is beside me, Mr. Naidi. Please open your eyes and see clearly. Don't make random arrangements and wrongly accuse me."
"This guard? I'm taking you, the court bug and evil guard who killed Luozhou City Mayor Shi Yuan Zhenghao!"
Not only was the other party not intimidated by the six words of the imperial guard with a sword, but he mocked Xie Jing.
He directly ordered: "Xie Jing, if you don't put down your sword and accept the surrender, don't blame me for ordering you to be shot to death on the spot, so that you will be pierced by thousands of arrows and never be reincarnated!"
Xie Jing: "...you said Yuan Zhenghao is dead? Killed by me?"
The other party: "Why are you pretending to be confused! It seems that you don't want to abandon your weapons and surrender, so don't blame me for not showing mercy to Master Di. All the officers and soldiers listen to the order: fire arrows!"
In an instant, an overwhelming rain of arrows came from all around towards Xie Jing.
Xie Jing felt that something was wrong, and immediately fell back into the study with a heavy weight, crushing the roof tiles.
Before he could figure out how to break the situation, he heard the general say again: "The criminal still dares to resist. Set firewood, set fire, burn!"
Xie Jing: "..."
The other party had too many people, the other party said that he killed Yuan Zhenghao, and the other party was surrounded by people outside...
And even if he really killed Yuan Zhenghao, the garrison should not have intervened due to circumstances and reasons.
This was obviously a huge conspiracy, and it came after him, Xie Jing.
Fight to the death? He will die of exhaustion and it will be meaningless. Even if the adults can help him clear his grievances in the end, then his death will be truly dead.
How long has he been following the adults? Are you going to die like this? never!
But now that he has become a trapped beast, how can he escape safely?
Xie Jing's mind was racing, but he felt helpless.
Outside, there were sounds of various types of firewood being thrown, hitting the outer wall and then falling back to the ground.
This is obviously to kill people and silence him, and to burn him alive here.
Xie Jing was so anxious that his forehead was sweating and his back was tense.
And he also guessed from this: his master must have been held back.
