Chapter 249: Hard-Hearted

Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.

Huaqiu's body was carried to the courtyard outside the flower hall, and although she was covered tightly with a white cloth, there was still a faint smell of blood wafting into the flower hall with the direction of the wind.

Hua Lianyue sat on the high-backed chair of Huali under the window lattice, she picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip gently, and then quietly raised her eyes to look at Zhang Jiao who was sitting opposite.

Zhang Jiao didn't seem to be very accustomed to this bloody breath, she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and impatiently ordered: "Don't put down the curtain at the door yet, you guys, open all the windows, and bring a few more incense burners." Really, I didn't look at ....... at all."

Hua Lianyue watched coldly as she arrogantly turned around the group commanded by the maids of the villa in the posture of a hostess, not only was she angry, but she had a ridiculous illusion.

Feng Qi hurriedly came in and reported: "The main mother, Chen Zhutou of the local yamen, Master Gu is out with a servant to ask to see. ”

Before Hua Lianyue could speak, Zhang Jiao had already frowned and said: "Why is it only the head catcher and the master who are here, what about the county commander? There is a murder case, as a parent official, doesn't he need to be present at the scene?" She deliberately asked the people in the clan to report to the official, just to make a big deal and cause a sensation, not to attract these small fish and shrimp who can't set off the wind and waves.

Feng Qi coughed lightly and said, "Chen Zhutou said that the county commander had a colication last night, and he just saw the doctor take medicine, and now he really can't get up, so he can't personally invite him to investigate the case." ”

Zhang Jiao's eyebrows furrowed, and she said suspiciously: "How could it be so coincidental? There was a murder on our side, and he began to commit colication on his side, could it be that he excused himself from illness!"

Hua Lianyue put the teacup back on the desk and ordered lightly: "Let them come in!" In order to avoid the gods from fighting, these little ghosts followed suit, and nine times out of ten they wanted to use the trick of pretending to be sick to stay away from right and wrong.

Hua Lianyue also sympathized with the poor county magistrate, so she saw through it and didn't say anything, and only let Feng Qi bring people in.

"I've seen Madame, I've seen Miss Zhang!"

Chen Zhutou is a middle-aged man who is not tall, but looks very shrewd. Master Gu is an old man with gray hair and wrinkles. It was the first time for them to step into Dancui Villa, but they didn't recognize the wrong person at all, and they must have received Feng Qi's guidance in advance.

Hua Lianyue nodded and said gently: "It's been hard for a few people to go this way." ”

Before Chen Zhutou came, he was still a little nervous, he didn't expect the dignified Mrs. Xianwang to be so peaceful, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said busily: "Madame, this is a lowly matter, and it is not hard." ”

Zhang Jiao still covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and sneered when she heard the words: "Chen Zhutou, right! Don't be deceived by this woman's gentle appearance, she is a murderer." ”

Chen Zhutou was shocked when he heard this, and then secretly smiled bitterly. No wonder the old man wants to pretend to be sick and refuse to set foot in Dancui Villa, it seems that this trip is not only muddy, but also may carry a deadly whirlpool, and if you are not careful, it will bring ruin.

Hua Lianyue ignored Zhang Jiao's provocation, she pointed to the tray in her hand, and said to Chen Zhutou: "This golden hairpin is the murder weapon, and the corpse is also placed in the yard, you can check it at will." Also, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask, and I'll be sure to cooperate with your investigation!"

Chen Zhutou probably didn't expect Hua Lianyue to be so cooperative, he paused for a moment before holding his fists and saying, "It's so good, thank you Madame for your kindness!"

Hua Lianyue smiled and said, "Don't be busy saying thank you, I have another request!"

Chen Zhutou showed a hint of understanding, and he said, Well, how could this Lady Xianwang be so good at talking, she must keep her back hand and wait for herself. He raised his vigilance in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face, and only said humbly: "Madam, please speak!"

Hua Lianyue said: "In the early years, I also worked as a catcher in Meiling County, and at that time, I solved a lot of cases with the county magistrate, and I had some experience. Later, when you investigate the case, can I help you and maybe give some advice. ”

"This ......." Chen Zhutou was really shocked when he heard this.

He really didn't expect Hua Lianyue to make such a request, and even stated his previous identity as a fast catcher. You must know that catching fast looks majestic, but in fact, it is a cheap person that everyone looks down on, unless it is impossible to live, few people are willing to eat this bowl of rice, so most of them are hereditary.

Female catchers are extremely rare, and Hua Lianyue, as a noble lady of the Virtuous King, does not shy away from her humble background, which makes Chen Zhutou have a little admiration and closeness to her.

What Chen Zhukuai didn't know was that Hua Lianyue grew up in the Valley of Hundred Flowers since she was a child, and there were really few people she had seen, so in her heart, she looked very lightly at the status of the noble. In order to get close to Liu Hui, who was the county magistrate at the time, he rashly did it for so long.

Zhang Jiao had already preemptively said: "No, you yourself are the murderer, this is a fact that everyone has seen." What's more, ......" She squinted her eyes and sneered sarcastically: "Who has ever seen the murderer participate in the investigation, doesn't he just want to destroy the evidence of the crime, are you really a fool of us!"

Chen Zhutou originally had the intention to agree, but seeing Zhang Jiao being so aggressive, he didn't dare to agree rashly.

Hua Lianyue saw his hesitant and embarrassed look, so she had to sigh: "Since Chen Zhutou feels embarrassed, forget it." But I want to talk to you in private, maybe it will be helpful to investigate the case, and you can go inside!"

Chen Yu immediately took a few steps forward and came to Hua Lianyue's side, and Hua Lianyue whispered in his ear.

Zhang Jiao tried hard to listen to what Hua Lianyue was saying, but unfortunately her voice was too small, even if Zhang Jiao stretched her neck, she didn't hear half a word clearly. Zhang Jiao's heart was even more annoyed, staring at Hua Lianyue's side face, her eyes seemed to be full of poisonous juice.

Fortunately, Hua Lianyue only gave a few short explanations, and then waved her hand to let Chen Zhutou retreat. Zhang Jiao looked at her coldly and sneered secretly, she didn't believe it, under the conclusive evidence, Hua Lianyue still had a chance to get out. It happened that Hua Lianyue also raised her head and looked in the direction of Zhang Jiao.

Looking at each other, Hua Lianyue's eyes were still cold and quiet, and she didn't seem to take the trouble in front of her to heart. The sneer on the corner of Zhang Jiao's lips froze, and then pursed her lips in disdain. Who wouldn't pretend to be calm, only the one who has the last laugh is the real winner.

Hua Lianyue was actually not as relaxed as Zhang Jiao's eyes, and her heart was full of helplessness and exhaustion at the moment. From the first day she agreed to marry Liu Hui, she knew that there would be endless troubles in the future. She thought she was ready, but when the real thing came to an end, she realized that she had overestimated her endurance, and she really felt that these clumsy tricks of framing and intrigue made her very depressed and bored.

Chen Zhukuai and a few people, accompanied by Feng Qi and Zhang Yuanyang, went out of the flower hall to check on Huaqiu's body. Hua Lianyue stood up and said to Xiaoxiao: "I'm a little tired, you accompany me back to the room to rest!"

"Yes!" Xiaoxiao hurriedly agreed.

Zhang Jiao said coldly on the side: "Mrs. Yue is really hard-hearted, she killed someone, not only did she feel a trace of guilt, but she also wanted to go back to the room to rest, aren't you afraid that the soul of Huaqiu will find you in a dream to ask for your life? Mrs. Yue is so femme fatale, but she can still make King Xian fascinated, this ability really makes me admire." ”

Hua Lianyue sneered: "Miss Zhang, don't say it too early, so as not to be slapped in the face in the future, it will be ugly." Who killed Huaqiu will not know until Chen Zhu has checked it. ”

With that, she raised her hand again and looked closely at her scarred palm, her neatly trimmed nails glowing in the sun. It's just that the traces of blood can be faintly seen between the fingers.

She withdrew her hand and continued: "If Huaqiu is a fool and insists on settling this account on me, I am not afraid. After all, I have killed a lot of people with these hands, and she wants to come to me for revenge, but I'm afraid she will have to queue up!"

"You ....." Zhang Jiao was so angry that she trembled at Hua Lianyue's provocative words. Suddenly, I remembered that she had killed someone, and her spirit was immediately shocked. thought that he had grabbed her handle, and immediately screamed: "It turns out that you are really a female devil who kills people without blinking, I didn't expect that King Xian would choose to take a fancy to a woman like you, he must have been blinded by your clever words, I will definitely tell him...... Hey, don't go, I'm not done yet!"

Hua Lianyue was in a bad mood, where was she still impatient to continue to deal with her, so she had already thrown off her sleeves and strode away.

Seeing that she was leaving like this, Zhang Jiao hurriedly turned around and grabbed a member of the Zhang family who had been following her, and said sharply: "You also heard what she said just now, when King Xian comes back, you have to tell him 1510, but you can't let him be deceived by this vicious woman anymore." ”

The Zhang family who stayed in Dancui Villa all followed Liu Hui through life and death in the Northern Underworld Calendar. The one that Zhang Jiao pulled happened to be the one who followed Zhang Yuanyang and secretly infiltrated the Yuyuan army in order to find Ji Huang's whereabouts, but he accidentally protected Hua Lianyue for a few days.

The green tendons on his forehead twitched, and finally he couldn't help but persuade: "Clan sister, we all just came back from the Northern Underworld." How strange is it that even Madame herself has killed an assassin who broke into her tent?

In such a place where the weak eat the strong, either you kill me or I kill you, and it is really fateful to be able to survive by luck. But you make a fuss about such a trivial matter, which will only show that you are shallow, and will not make the virtuous king look down on you. ”

"I have shallow knowledge...... Zhang Jiao shook off his hand violently, and screamed angrily: "Stinky boy, we are the family, the branches on a big tree, you actually help outsiders speak, are you still a descendant of the Zhang family......"

Hua Lianyue had already walked a long way, and she could still hear Zhang Jiao's angry roar. She rubbed her forehead with a headache. Xiaoxiao peeked at her face and said cautiously: "Madam, it's all my fault......."

"I don't want to hear it anymore!" Hua Lianyue immediately raised her hand, interrupting Xiaoxiao's babbling apology. She sighed: "I've heard enough of these meaningless apologies, and I'm tired of hearing them." Xiaoxiao, you have to understand that these troubles are actually brought to you by me. And if you keep following me, these troubles will continue to find you.

So what you should learn is how to be vigilant and avoid these dangers, instead of feeling guilty and apologizing all the time. Or ......"

Hua Lianyue curled the corners of her lips to reveal a helpless smile, she raised her hand and gently stroked the broken hair on Xiaoxiao's forehead, trying to cover those hideous and piercing wounds, and said slowly: "Or I will give you enough money, you leave Dancui Villa and find another place to live!"

If there were still big and small pairs following her today, Hua Liyue would not have such a thought. They have experienced countless life and death disasters, and they have long been accustomed to supporting each other, and they never feel that they will be a drag on each other, nor will they feel sorry for causing trouble to each other.

Xiaoxiao is different, although Hua Lianyue helped her and took her out of the North Hell, she didn't think that she would really let her serve her for the rest of her life. Especially when Zhang Jiao made such a fuss today, she found that Xiaoxiao was too weak and had no ability to protect herself. If you follow yourself, you will only be implicated. That's why she came up with the idea of letting Xiaoxiao leave.

Xiaoxiao didn't understand her hard work, and thought that she was disgusted that she had caused trouble, and she suddenly panicked and confused. Xiaoxiao shook her head desperately in fright, tears were about to fall, and she begged vigorously: "Madam, I don't have any relatives anymore, I really don't know where to go except here." You can do it, don't drive me away, I'll be careful in the future, and I won't cause you any more trouble......"

"Alright, alright! I just put the words down first, and I didn't let you leave now. Hua Lianyue hurriedly patted her on the shoulder and reassured: "Don't worry, as long as you are not fully prepared, I will not let you go." ”

"Really? Madame can't lie to me. Xiaoxiao was still a little skeptical.

Hua Lianyue said helplessly: "If it's not true, wouldn't you continue to cry again!"

With the promise of Hua Lianyue, Xiaoxiao's tear-stained face bloomed with a happy smile.

The autumn wind is whisking, rolling up the fallen leaves and flowers flying in the air. Hua Lianyue and Xiaoxiao walked slowly towards the east chamber while stepping on the smoke and dust. No one noticed that the branches behind them flickered slightly, and a figure flashed like a ghost.

Hua Lianyue was physically and mentally exhausted, and after returning to the East Chamber, she lay on the couch with her clothes closed, and fell asleep after a while. Originally, before going to bed, she thought that she would not sleep peacefully, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she immediately fell asleep, and she didn't even have a dream.

When she woke up, she found that the room was dark, and the sky had darkened unconsciously. Xiaoxiao didn't have a palm lamp, and sat alone and took a nap. Little by little, the little head is like a chicken pecking rice. However, when she lifted the futon on her body and turned over to sit up, Xiaoxiao's body trembled and quickly woke up.

"What time is it now?" Hua Liyue touched her belly and found that it was cooing inside.

Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Madame's sleep is really fragrant, and it takes two hours." ”

Hua Lianyue originally lazily raised her hand to sort out the messy hair on her sideburns, and when she heard the words, she said incredulously: "I actually slept for so long?" She just wanted to take a nap to recuperate, she really didn't expect to sleep for so long.

Hua Lianyue didn't even understand it, obviously Huaqiu's body was still in the front yard, but she could sleep without distractions and was not affected at all. Is it really because of the two experiences in the North Underworld, my heart has also hardened?

"Not really! Dinner is coming soon. Xiaoxiao lit the candle on the table as she spoke, then pushed open the window lattice, waved the handkerchief in her hand, and dispersed the turbidity in the room. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
