It wasn't a person's skeleton?
"What?" Someone exclaimed. "What does that mean?"
The bearded man deliberately kept everyone in suspense and smiled. "Because an expert pointed out that there was something wrong with the skeleton."
He didn't get to the main point, and everyone became anxious.
Someone even slammed the table. "Finish it in one go! Don't be so wishy-washy. "
"Hurry up! Everyone is waiting. "" Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly. " The bearded man coughed lightly and said, "That expert was said to be a young young master. Because he was related to Song Zhi, Lord Zhuo asked him to question him, but he couldn't get anything out of him. Later, when he heard that Song Zhi's testimony wasn't right, Lord Zhuo immediately wanted to convict Song Zhi of murder. The young master immediately stood up and stopped him, saying that there was something wrong with the skeleton. He said that the skeleton was pieced together from the bones of two deceased people, so the case couldn't be closed just like that. When Lord Zhuo heard this, his expression changed. He immediately slammed the table and said that she was lying.
Don't talk nonsense. Little Gongzi said that if we bring the bones to the court, she will know once she examines them, but Zhuo Daren doesn't agree. "
"And then?"
"And then! Crown Prince Cheng came to the yamen. "
"Crown Prince Cheng? The second son of Marquis Pingyang, Li Cheng. "
The bearded man said, "Isn't that right! He ordered Zhuo daren to bring the white bones to the court for that little gongzi to examine. As a result, as expected, the white bones were really put together by two skeletons. Moreover, it was a man and a woman. "
"And then?"
"Then Crown Prince Cheng asked the young master if he had any way to find out who the man and woman were. The young master said two words: Bone Painting. "
Bone painting?
Everyone didn't understand.
The bearded man explained, "It means that he can draw the deceased's appearance according to the shape of the skeleton."
When he finished, a few people's expressions froze. Some people immediately laughed and said, "Are you kidding me? That's impossible. How can there be such strange things?"
"How could it be the power of the freak? Since the young master could find something wrong with the skeleton, he wouldn't boast about it. Anyway, Crown Prince Cheng has already ordered the young master to handle the case. Even Lord Zhuo has to listen to him. "
This was really interesting!
Everyone began to talk about it.
This matter spread from the first floor of the restaurant to the second floor of the restaurant. In a private room on the second floor, a woman was standing in front of the window. She wore a green dress and had long hair that draped over her shoulders. Just from looking at her back, one could see that she was graceful and graceful, and she exuded the aura of nobility.
Because the door was open, she could hear everything that the people outside were talking about.
She could not help but frown.
It was as if he was exasperated at Zhang Xuan for not living up to his expectations.
The little servant girl behind him said, "Er Gongzi said he was going to look for that Zhuo Daren, how could he interfere in this case? Wasn't he being a busybody? The Marquis has ordered Second Young Master to escort Young Miss back to Gaoding as soon as possible. I'm afraid we'll be delayed again. "
Complain!
The woman sighed. "Ah Cheng is just like that. He always likes to meddle in other people's business."
"Then, Eldest Miss, what do we do now?"
"Forget it!"
"Are we really going to stay here with Second Young Master?"
The woman turned around. Her face was not devastatingly beautiful, but it was still a standard beauty.
She sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Father said to let Ah Cheng take me back. If I go back to Gaoding by myself, then father will definitely teach Ah Cheng a lesson. As his sister, I can't just stand by and watch, can I?"
The servant girl did not say anything. This person was called Li Wenshu, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Pingyang and Li Cheng's sister. She seemed gentle and generous, but she was a very scheming and vengeful woman. Moreover, she was well-read and was a woman of letters. Someone once praised her in front of Marquis Pingyang, saying that if she were a man, she would definitely be better than her.
Her father, Marquis Pingyang, was more powerful, but she was a woman.
Two years ago, in order to study, Li Wenshu went to Bian Bei's Nan Yin Academy to be apprenticed to a master. A month ago, the teacher who taught her passed away. After she finished the funeral for the teacher, she planned to return to Gaoding. Marquis Pingyang originally wanted to send someone to pick up his precious daughter, but when he thought that his disappointing son was still wandering outside, he gave this task to Li Cheng. Because Li Cheng was not afraid of anyone since he was a child, he was only afraid of his big sister. No matter what Li Wenshu said, Li Cheng did not dare to let her go.
So Marquis Pingyang had made up his mind to let him personally pick up Li Wenshu back to Gaoding, so that Li Cheng could be more at ease.
In the beginning, Li Cheng refused!
But he was afraid of Li Wenshu, so he had no choice but to go to Nan Yin Academy to pick up his sister.
Li Wenshu actually loved her brother very much, but the depth of her love was also the depth of her responsibility!
Not long after, Li Cheng came to the restaurant from the yamen.
As soon as he entered, he saw Li Wenshu sitting there with a serious face, and his heart suddenly trembled.
"Sister!" He called out in an extremely flattering manner.
Li Wenshu ignored him and turned to her servant girl, "Go tell the waiter that the dishes can be served."
"Yes!"
The servant girl went out to order the dishes.
Only the two of them were left in the private room.
Li Wenshu still did not look at Li Cheng.
After Li Cheng sat down, he smiled at her and shared the interesting things he encountered. "Sister, don't you want to know what I did?"
"…"
"I went to do something important!"
Li Wenshu still ignored him.
"Sister …"
"Drink some tea." She poured a cup of tea for Li Cheng.
Li Cheng did not dare to take it and smiled foolishly.
Li Wenshu glanced at him. "I just heard about the important thing you mentioned."
"So fast?"
"Yiwu is only so big. It's hard not to know about it."
Li Cheng nodded. "That's true! Sister, the young master I met is really a talent. He put together a pile of bones in a few moments, and he could even point out the strangeness of the bones. He said that he could even draw the portraits of the bones when they were alive. "
"Don't be fooled."
"Why would I be fooled? I really admire that person. She is the most intelligent woman I have seen. Unfortunately, she is from the Great Lin, and my father will definitely not agree to me marrying her. "
What?
Li Wenshu looked at him strangely. "A woman?"
Li Cheng opened the folding fan in his hand and said proudly, "Of course. Although she was dressed in men's clothes, I have seen countless women. She is clearly a young lady."
How strange!
Li Wenshu's interest was piqued.
Li Cheng saw that she did not speak, so he gently bumped her with his hand. "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing!" Li Wenshu came back to her senses and looked at him sternly. "You really like to be nosy. My father asked you to bring me back to Gaoding as soon as possible, but you wasted a lot of time on the road. You even took on this case today. If you go back late, my father will definitely punish you."
He was wronged!
He said with a bitter face, "Sister, you don't know. That Lord Zhuo is really a mediocre official. He casually decided the case. If I did not go in time, that case might have become an unjust one. I am doing a good deed. My father will not scold me, and you will not praise me either!"
