The confused Chuntao had been coaxed and frightened by Granny Shen several times before, so although she felt that the scene in front of her was very wrong, she still followed Zhou Heng and Chunyu back to the palace without saying a word. He even offered to help run errands to the outer courtyard to see if the prince was there.

The answer I got from the elder brother of the guard was that the prince was not in the mansion. As for where he had gone, it was only after Chuntao moved out the banner of Grandma Shen that he informed that the prince had gone to Liuhu.

Chunyu then advised Zhou Heng to take a rest first: "Miss Cousin, it's better to calm down and get more rest in the past two days. The injury on your head is not fully healed yet. The prince will be back in the afternoon."

Zhou Heng thought for a while and asked her: "What will happen to the corpses fished out from the lake?" They won't always be left by the lake. Will the government send someone to take them away for autopsy or something?

The answer he got was indeed like this, and Zhou Heng made a quick decision: "Maybe we can go and find the prince and see who we fished out."

Chun Yu hesitated: "It has been soaked in water for two days. It must be a hideous face. Don't stain your eyes, Miss."

"It's okay. It's broad daylight. Just take a look. Don't be afraid." The more Zhou Heng thought about it, the more he thought it would be best to take a look as soon as possible. He comforted her: "Anyway, didn't the prince ask you to listen to me? Don't worry, what does that boatman look like?" , I should be the only one who recognizes it now, so it’s better to go and have a look early.”

There was still a dull pain in his head, probably because the blood congestion had not yet healed. The two ladies of the Zhou family had just taken turns touching the swollen area, reminding themselves to get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible.

In this way, forget about this journey in this world and return to your own world with a clear mind. Zhou Heng felt that this way he would have no regrets in his heart.

Chunyu was not a hesitant person. After hearing this, she asked Chuntao to report to Grandma Shen, and at the same time sent someone to re-hitch the car: "Okay, I will listen to the young lady."

After that, the three of them got on the carriage again and headed to Liuhu Lake.

It was almost noon when she saw Shen Fu waiting for her by the lake under the bright sun. This gave Zhou Heng a new understanding of Prince Jing's ability to do things. Shen Fu nodded directly after seeing her. The head said: "Don't be afraid, come with me, Mr. Zhou is here too."

It seemed that someone on Chunyu's side had already reported everything to Shen Fu, so it saved him a lot of time. Zhou Heng followed him silently to a nearby thatched hut that looked like a temporary one. .

According to Shen Fu, the body of the deceased woman fished out was placed in the hay shed, while the body of the male corpse fished out together was placed on the ground under the willow tree not far away from the hay shed. Presumably it was because of his identity. There is no need to think of any reason to see that they are treated differently.

It is said that although the female corpse's face was swollen and her appearance was unrecognizable, the maid in Zhou's house identified her and found that she was wearing the same dress that Zhou Heng had worn when he visited the lake the day before. She also wore a pair of pearl earrings. He liked it best in the day, so when he fished it out with the male corpse, even Zhou Yan, who knew his daughter was still alive, was dumbfounded and almost fainted with foam at the mouth.

Shen Fu spoke in a somewhat cryptic way, and Zhou Heng, a modern girl, could not understand how harmful the words "fish them out together" were to an ancient girl even if she was already dead. He could only think of one detail:

"Your Majesty, isn't this too strange? Could it be that they prepared exactly the same clothes in advance? These must have something to do with the people in the house, right? And those pearl earrings, I gave them to the coachman clearly, and You can send someone to check the hairpin on your head."

"This seems to have been planned a long time ago. Presumably the person behind it doesn't really care whether I die or not. All they want is to confirm that Miss Zhou fell into the water and drowned, right?"

"That's not right. It should be said that they originally thought that I would definitely die, but they couldn't find anything after two days of fishing. The Zhou family insisted that if they didn't find anyone, they were still alive, so they found another corpse. The purpose was to make everyone We know that people cannot be resurrected after death, so Miss Zhou is definitely dead!"

These words made Shen Fu stop and look at her. This girl was not shy about saying she was dead.

Zhou Heng didn't know what he meant, and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Didn't I swear to you about the coachman? But if you lie, I will stay here as a She's an old girl who can't get married, so don't worry, I won't have trouble with myself."

Well, it was indeed an oath. Shen Fu felt a little uncomfortable, so he changed the subject and asked her: "Did you meet the third lady in the Zhou Mansion? Is it the same person you met at Tianxiang Tower the day before yesterday? "

These words immediately aroused Zhou Heng's interest, and he quickly nodded to express that the two of them were indeed the same person: "Yes, what you said makes me wonder whether the third lady sent someone to do it secretly. After all, she is Miss Zhou, so she should be able to do this kind of thing."

Shen Fu nodded: "You can tell Mr. Zhou about this later and ask him to pay attention to the third lady."

Having said this, the two of them arrived outside the hay shed.

Zhou Heng lived to be thirty years old. Not to mention dead people, even dead animals, he only saw chickens, ducks and fish in the freezer in the supermarket. Therefore, although he had the idea of ​​​​revenge for Grandma Huang and others, when he saw it in front of him, his heart I was still quite frightened. I didn't know what kind of horror a body soaked in water would be, so I couldn't help but grab the sleeve of Shen Fu who was walking in front.

Shen Fu felt his sleeve being pulled by someone. He lowered his head and looked back, and saw a slender hand holding onto his black robe. Black and white were clearly visible in the sunlight. For a moment, although he felt that this was a bit of a drag, he couldn't bear to let her go. Letting go, the pace slowed down a bit, and it looked like the two of them were almost walking side by side.

There was a wooden board placed on the two benches in the hut. On the wooden board was a corpse covered with white cloth. It seemed to be the female corpse that was fished out from the lake. Zhou Yan sat next to it with his head lowered with a tired expression, and stood behind him. There were two young masters from the Zhou family who looked equally exhausted.

Seeing Shen Fu coming over, Zhou Yan was about to stand up and say hello, but he caught sight of Zhou Heng behind him.

Perhaps father and daughter are connected. Although Zhou Heng's current dress and appearance are very different from Miss Qianjin, Zhou Yan, as a father, still recognized his daughter at a glance, and opened his mouth to call her excitedly: "A Heng -"

Fortunately, they knew something was wrong as soon as they said it. The two sons didn't know that their sister was still alive, so they quickly added: "She, she knows that you value love and justice so much, and she is relieved!"

These words were actually a bit baffling. The two sons behind Zhou Yan couldn't help but look puzzled after hearing this: The prince has been here for two hours, why did his father suddenly say such words in excitement?

Shen Fu reacted quickly. When he saw the appearance of the two cousins, he nodded and accepted Zhou Yan's words: "Uncle, you're welcome. When A Heng encounters such a change, both emotionally and rationally, Prince Jing's Palace should do its part."

"Moreover," he paused, then mentioned the boatman's corpse that he had picked up unintentionally: "I have now finished examining the male corpse. I wonder if there is anything new..." As he spoke, he looked slightly sideways. Zhou Heng behind the lower body.

The purpose of this action was obvious. Zhou Yan figured it out after thinking for a moment. It must be his daughter who wanted to identify the male corpse. He felt distressed and proud at the same time. He didn't expect that the precious daughter who had been pampered since she was a child would now be like this. After being able to withstand the situation, he immediately said with tears in his eyes: "Not bad! In that case, let's go over and have a look."

He ordered his two sons to continue guarding, and did not let the boy follow him. He led the two of them out of the hut and down to the willow tree not far away.

"A Heng," seeing no one around, Zhou Yan took a few steps back and walked to Zhou Heng's side. He told his daughter very distressedly: "Don't be afraid. Dad is here. Let's take a closer look later to see if it's the same thing that hurt you earlier." Thief!"

"His nn, if it's really him, don't worry. After the marriage examination is over, I'll find someone later. Even if he dies, then..." After talking about it later, I took care of the fact that my daughter is a girl, so I held back what I said next, huh, Anyway, we just don’t let this thief get a good reincarnation!

Zhou Heng did not answer, and only said softly: "I'm fine, don't worry!" This was an explanation to the two men in front of him.

Shen Fu kept walking forward in silence, only slowing down a little. Then when he saw that he was about to reach the willow tree, he turned around and comforted Zhou Heng in a low voice: "If you are scared then, you won't recognize it." It doesn't matter, just leave immediately."

These words immediately made Zhou Yan, who was next to his daughter, very happy. Yes, unlike the unknown female corpse in the thatched hut, the male corpse lying under the tree was the murderer of A Heng. My daughter couldn't do anything about it then. It would be very scary.

Thinking of this, I felt distressed again. Fortunately, my daughter beside me whispered "Yeah", but did not stop there or show fear. She also whispered: "Yes, listen to the prince, if you feel If you feel uncomfortable, let’s leave immediately!”

After that, the three of them walked under the willow tree. A stout old man with rolled-up sleeves and a coarse robe came forward to greet him with a nod and a bow, and took the initiative to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou, the younger one has finished the test. The family members of the deceased I’ve also come to identify the person, and if there’s no problem, I can ask them to take the person back in the afternoon.”

"Oh?" Shen Fu pulled Zhou Heng's sleeve with his hand to signal her to follow him, and ordered the old man: "So you are sure that the boatman is fine and has no injuries?"

Zhou Heng actually felt a little guilty about the boatman who picked up the oar and hit him as if nothing had happened. Seeing the corpse lying on the ground with a pair of big, swollen feet facing him, he even remembered the nightmare he had before. It happened that Shen Fu pulled his sleeve at this moment, so he reflexively grabbed his sleeve with his backhand.

Although it was strange for the servant to see a girl dressed as a maid following Prince Jing to see a dead person, he thought that the maids in Prince Jing's residence were well-informed and courageous, and people were curious, so he didn't say much.

So Zhou Heng pulled Shen Fu's sleeves and tried to muster up the courage to step forward...
