The other didn't answer, but the window facing the courtyard was pushed open from the inside, making the old "squeak" sound.

He Linwan was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly hid against the wall and hid in a dead corner.

The voice just now let out a somewhat yin and yang weird laugh: "It's very careful to be young! Don't worry, no one dares to come in this courtyard, do you know why?"

The other man still didn't speak.

The voice said to itself, "Because there have been people dead in this courtyard, many people have died! Those corpses filled this courtyard that day, and blood flowed all over the ground, that's why the grass in this courtyard grew so deep." ”

He Linwan, who was hiding in the grass, felt a little numb in her back, but she still didn't move.

"Aren't you afraid?" the voice asked.

The other finally spoke, his voice hoarse and cold: "What do you have to do with me." ”

He Linwan squatted stiffly in place, this time she heard it clearly, it was indeed Ye Yining's voice.

"You're not afraid of me, because I killed those people. The voice sighed.

Ye Yining's voice was still cold: "It's just a knife in someone else's hand." ”

The voice laughed for a while: "That's right, aren't the people of our Criminal Prison Department just a knife in the hands of the superiors? Even if these unjust souls want to find someone to pay for their lives, they should go to the master of the palace." If things go well today, our family can be regarded as avenging them. ”

Ye Yining didn't answer his words: "I have already arranged what Zhao San gave me." ”

The voice said: "You kid is really good, you can meddle in the errand of the palace of Concubine Xian Niangniang in just a few months after entering the palace, and even such a major event as arranging a banquet has made you take advantage of the loophole, tell grandpa how you did it?"

Speaking of this, the voice laughed more and more yin and yang, "Is it this face?" or ...... I heard that Princess Huyang can't leave you for a moment now, so let Grandpa check ......"

He Linwan heard that the movement was wrong, picked up a stone on the ground and was about to move, when a scream suddenly came from the house, and then the scream broke abruptly.

He Linwan's heart jumped, and he immediately got up from the darkness. Run quickly towards the house.

In the room, an old eunuch sat on the ground with a pale face, his right hand clenched tightly on the fingers of his left hand, and blood continued to gush out from between his fingers. At his feet were two severed fingers.

Ye Yining's unusually gloomy face appeared in the slightly dim light that flowed in from the window, and a drop of bright red blood splashed on his eyebrows, making him look like a ghost crawling out of the underworld at the moment, both dangerous and with a bit of indescribable charm.

His left hand was stuck in the old eunuch's neck, and in his right hand he held a willow leaf carving knife.

He Linwan looked in from the window. The first thing to recognize was the bloody willow leaf carving knife in Ye Yining's hand, which had been following Ye Yining since he was six years old and had never left his body. She had seen him sit alone in a corner and carve wood with this knife, and she never knew that the little knife was so sharp that it could see blood.

The old eunuch was stuck by Ye Yining's neck and couldn't speak, but his vicious gaze was nailed to Ye Yining's face.

Ye Yining carefully wiped the blood stains on the old eunuch's collar from the carving knife, and then withdrew the left hand that was stuck in the old eunuch's neck.

The old eunuch's dry voice sounded intermittently, as if he had swallowed grit: "You...... How dare you ......"

As soon as Ye Yining's fingers flicked, the carving knife in his hand disappeared, and he said coldly: "I have only a temporary cooperative relationship with your master Zhao San, neither competing with you nor being controlled by you, don't use what you did to your apprentices to me." ”

He Linwan stood outside and looked at Ye Yining quietly, with mixed feelings. Suddenly, an extremely subtle sound made He Linwan pause, and then immediately dodged back to the place where he had been hiding before.

He Linwan vigilantly glanced around the entire courtyard, and then found that the movement came from the root of the wall in the southwest corner, and after taking a closer look, He Linwan found that there was a cave like a dog hole at the root of the wall, and He Linwan couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.

At this time, the old eunuch in the house said viciously: "When the poison and assassination are completed, today you cut off my two fingers......

The sound in the corner of the wall suddenly became louder, and He Linwan was about to quietly go over to check if there was anyone, but Ye Yining suddenly looked up and looked over there: "Who is it?"

The noise in the corner of the wall was louder, and there was the sound of cloth rubbing, as if someone was crawling out of the hole in a panic. At this time, even the old eunuch could not hear that it was wrong.

"There's ...... out there"

Ye Yining walked out of the house, He Linwan originally wanted to go out and stop people, but now he could only squat quietly in place and did not dare to move.

However, after Ye Yining came out, he glanced at the courtyard gate and did not chase it out immediately, but walked to the base of the southwest wall and took a closer look. And by this time, the panicked footsteps outside had run away.

He Linwan was a little confused about what Ye Yining wanted to do, obviously the old eunuch had already heard what he said about poisoning and stabbing just now, if this matter was leaked by the eavesdropper, Ye Yining would definitely die, but Ye Yining had no intention of chasing him out.

Just when He Linwan guessed what Ye Yining wanted to do, Ye Yining turned around and went back to the house. He Linwan glanced outside the courtyard and muttered for a moment. He stood still and did not move.

The old eunuch had already climbed up, and when he saw Ye Yining coming in, he said angrily: "Who is it just now? Why don't you chase it?"

Ye Yining did not speak.

The old lady felt that something was wrong, and just wanted to retreat, but Ye Yining quickly approached the old eunuch, and the fingers of his right hand moved the willow leaf carving knife appeared on his fingertips, and the old eunuch watched the inconspicuous little carving knife cut through the artery between his neck, and at that moment he seemed to be able to hear the sound of his own blood spurting out.

The old eunuch has killed a lot of people in his life, although most of them are acting on orders, but he himself is indifferent to taking people's lives, and even this feeling of being able to control the fate of others slowly makes him addicted. But he never thought that he would die in this place, and he died in an unknown way.

"For ...... What?"

The old eunuch used to think that those who would rather ask why before they died were extremely stupid, but when he himself was dying, he could not help but want to be a ghost.

His master had said that Ning Yi had an enmity with the royal family, so this person could be used. And if Ning Yi wants to take revenge, he also needs to use the power of the Fengshen Gang and him, the chief eunuch of the Criminal Prison Division, otherwise Ning Yi will have nothing to do with the royal family.

Ye Yining's gaze was unwarm: "You want to kill the emperor and mess with the world, but I want the entire Li family...... Death, nothingness, hiding, body, place. ”

The old eunuch's eyes widened, he clutched his neck, and finally struggled to breathe.

Ye Yining took out a handkerchief and lowered his head to wipe his willow leaf carving knife clean, and then left the courtyard without looking back.

After Ye Yining left, He Linwan came out of the hiding place, she looked at the direction Ye Yining left in a daze, and stood in place for a while, but finally did not leave, but turned around and walked into the house.

This cross-courtyard may not be ventilated all year round, and there is a damp and rotten smell in the room, and now with the thick smell of blood, it makes He Linwan a little nauseated.

In the center of the room, the old eunuch fell in a pool of blood, He Linwan slowly inhaled and spit it out gently, and then walked over step by step, her face was a little pale, but her steps were not chaotic.

He Linwan looked at the old eunuch carefully for a while, and finally fixed his eyes on the old eunuch's intact hand, which was clenched into a fist, He Linwan thought about it, pulled out a silver hairpin on his head, squatted down and used the silver hairpin to pull away the old eunuch's fingers one by one.

At this moment, the old eunuch's fingers suddenly twitched, and the eyes that had been closed slowly opened a little, and he stared at He Linwan fiercely with lifeless eyes.

He Lin paused for a moment, then lowered his eyelashes, and still slowly and stubbornly picked out the things that the old eunuch was holding in his hand with a hairpin. It was a bodhi bead threaded with a rope, stained with blood and shining in the dim light.

Just now, when He Linwan stood outside, he saw the old eunuch covering his neck with his hand, and he seemed to have pulled something off his neck. She knew that a person like the chief eunuch of the Criminal Prison Department who had the blood of countless people on his hands might leave behind some tricks even if he died, so that people could not be careful.

The old eunuch's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he was already dying at this time, and he couldn't make a sound at all, only his eyes were still telling his unwillingness and hatred.

He Linwan looked at the Bodhi bead for a moment, then took out her handkerchief and wrapped it away, she glanced at the old eunuch: "There is a monk named Yiying next to the late emperor of the previous dynasty, with extremely high martial arts, specially trained dead soldiers for the royal family, and the Bodhi bead is his secret weapon and his token. I'm sorry, but I can't get you to deliver the message today. ”

The old eunuch's eyes widened in shock, and then he took his last breath at this moment.

He Linwan didn't look at him again, she turned around and walked out, and said in a low voice: "My grandmother always told me that there is karma in this world, and I didn't believe it before. You will die here and not there today, perhaps because of the so-called cause and effect that was planted many years ago. If what we do today is wrong, it will be my turn to repay one day. So don't worry, I can't escape. ”

Although He Linwan's tone was extremely calm, as if she was talking to herself, her slightly trembling fingers still revealed the true emotions in her heart at the moment.

He Linwan knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and immediately walked in the direction of the main hall after leaving the courtyard, maybe her mood was affected or maybe she was worried about Ye Yining, so she didn't hear it at first when there was a footstep approaching.
