Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

After that, Shen Lin began to explain:

"I'm not looking at the girl, I'm looking at the patient in that room."

"Patient? What happened to that patient?"

Shen Lin had just finished speaking, and Wei Wu hadn't spoken yet, but Mao Xiang asked first.

Actually, it’s no wonder that he was so excited, mainly because the people in that room were very important.

Because that person was the only patient infected with smallpox in the entire capital.

This person was very likely related to the Crown Prince's infection with smallpox, so Mao Xiang had to take it seriously.

When Shen Lin heard Mao Xiang's voice, he realized that there was someone behind Wei Wu.

As a former flag officer of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Shen Lin subconsciously prepared to salute Mao Xiang.

Then he suddenly remembered that he was no longer a Jinyiwei, but now a man of Master Wei.

So, after Mao Xiang finished speaking, he simply bowed and replied:

"I've seen this man before, and he might be involved in my neighbor's death."

After Shen Lin finished speaking, Mao Xiang became even more excited.

"The neighbor you're talking about, isn't his surname Wang, the one who died not long ago?"

"Yes, Commander Mao, did you also know about this?"

Shen Lin looked at Mao Xiang with curiosity. Normally, all civilian murders were investigated by the Yingtian Prefecture government.

There was no need for the Jinyiwei to intervene in such matters, let alone a big shot like Mao Xiang who was at the commander-in-chief level.

However, just when Shen Lin was curious, Mao Xiang walked directly in front of him.

"Shen Lin, tell me in detail about your neighbor and this person."

Seeing that Mao Xiang's expression was a little strange, Shen Lin couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wei Wu.

Only after seeing Wei Wu nod did he slowly speak:

"My neighbor is a gambler. Whenever he loses, he takes it out on his wife and children, and he doesn't care how hard he hits them."

"We neighbors can't stand it, but we can't interfere in other people's affairs. All we can do is send some food to the child while he's away."

"One time, a gambler found his child eating and insisted that his wife was hiding money from him. He then beat and kicked her at home."

"His wife couldn't stand it and finally hanged herself at home. Poor Chunxi, he lost his mother at such a young age."

"In the end, that beast didn't even let Chunxi go. In order to get money for gambling, he sold her to the palace as a slave."

After listening to Shen Lin's description, Wei Wu and Mao Xiang looked at each other and noticed a problem at the same time.

Chunxi left the palace to attend her father's funeral, but the question is, is it worth it for her to do so for such a father?

Palace maids in the Ming Dynasty did not have the right to leave the palace.

Once you enter the palace, you will never be able to get out again in your life without the emperor's pardon.

For the sake of a man who had abused him since childhood and even forced his mother to death, he asked the Crown Princess for an opportunity to leave the palace.

Isn’t this pure nonsense!

However, if Chunxi had other purposes for leaving the palace, then this matter would be very reasonable.

Thinking of this, General Wei Wu looked towards the room where the smallpox patients were imprisoned.

"Tell me about this man! Why do you say he was involved in your neighbor's death?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin immediately said:

"Master Wei, you also know that my neighbor is a gambler. His relatives and friends have long stopped associating with him."

"I was about to go on duty that day, but I saw this guy as soon as I left the house. He actually went into that gambler's house."

"I thought it was strange at the time. Isn't this guy afraid of being harassed by a gambling addict? But I was in a hurry to go to work, so I took a few glances and left."

"But the next morning when I got home I heard from the neighbors that the gambler had died at home."

After Shen Lin finished speaking, Wei Wu asked again before Mao Xiang could speak.

"Do you know how that gambler died? Also, how long ago did he die?"

"I didn't ask in detail." Shen Lin shook his head, then continued: "It's probably been more than ten days!"

At this time, Wei Wu already had a rough guess in his mind.
