Chapter 942: Eavesdropping on the Second Servant's Words

The man whispered for a long time before he stopped.

When he had finished speaking, the face of the steward who came out of the prime minister's mansion became very ugly, and he was quite anxious when he looked like that, and sent someone back, saying that he would take care of everything himself, and then he hurried into the courtyard.

Not to mention that Jiang Ning learned a lot of strange things from Tong Zhi, he could already understand lip language, just according to his and Dong Xun's current cultivation, at such a distance, it was completely fine to hear what that person said.

The man said two things, one was that the part of the fold that Tian Kangbang had hidden in the mansion was missing, and the other was that he accidentally saw a figure in Tian Kangbang's mansion, and the figure he thought was Li Yanxi.

Dong Xun glanced at Jiang Ning a little playfully, "I didn't expect you to do things with Jiang Dajian Immortal, and there were times when you made a mistake, wow, you were actually discovered by a mortal who didn't have much martial arts, but you didn't notice it, it's really rare!"

Jiang Ning's old face flushed, in his life, he had done countless things to track and stealth, naturally there were successes and failures, and it was common for people to be discovered.

However, most of the time, he was found because the other party's strength was much higher than him, no matter how bad he was, he was also the kind of person with special perception ability, but that person was clearly just a mortal who didn't know any martial arts, and a mortal found himself, but he didn't find him, it was really a strange thing.

"Hey, this is really strange!" Jiang Ning glanced at the place where the person left with great interest, and said, "It shouldn't be, from just now to now, I can clearly feel the qi on his body, there is no reason that in Tian Kangbang's mansion, he found me, but I didn't find him?"

"If there is anything strange about him that can block your perception, you only need to try to sense his qi after he leaves our line of sight to understand," Dong Xun said: "At the moment, since we can still sense his qi, and we can perceive it clearly, it means that the reason why your perception failed to capture him is not in him!"

Jiang Ning glanced at Dong Xun with some appreciation, her judgment ability has improved by leaps and bounds recently, and many times many words no longer need him to explain by himself, which saves Jiang Ning a lot of time and thought, and secondly, after Dong Xun goes back, he will always have an explanation for the Sparrow Fairy and Yuzun.

Even if there is not much growth in cultivation, this change in mind alone is gratifying enough.

"You're not wrong at all, that's exactly what I thought!" Jiang Ning subconsciously rubbed Dong Xun's little head and praised: "That's right, the recent progress is getting bigger and bigger!"

Dong Xun squinted his eyes a little comfortably, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong, raised his hand to shake Jiang Ning's arm away, and said angrily: "This butterfly dance girl's body is really too unlucky, and she has no ability to resist Li Yanxi at all!"

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to smile.

He is not a fool, is it the body of the butterfly dance girl who can't resist Li Yanxi, or his Dongxun's heart gradually can't resist Jiang Ning, who can tell the difference?

What Jiang Ning could think of, Dong Xun naturally thought of as well, and because of this, two red clouds had already appeared on the face of the butterfly dancing girl at this time, and the atmosphere between the two began to become a little ambiguous and awkward.

Dong Xun is simply another poor girl in this abyss world, Jiang Ning wants to say that he doesn't like it at all, it is a lie, but after so many years and so many things, he has learned that many things and many emotions must have a boundary, otherwise, no matter how beautiful this relationship looks, once it breaks through the boundary full of yearning before, it will turn into a pair of ghost hands that ask for your life, grab your ankles, and Jiang Ning will drag you into the bottomless abyss.

These days, especially since the giant scorpion palace, Jiang Ning and Dong Xun have been trying to maintain this boundary, but today, Dong Xun's unintentional words were still touched slightly, so the atmosphere between the two at this time has become extremely embarrassing.

After a while, Jiang Ning, who still reacted relatively quickly, proposed: "Since I didn't find out that his power is not his own, it means that he should have happened to appear within the range of that power that night, I want to follow that guy back to Tian Kangbang's mansion to have a look, and by the way, see what conspiracy this guy has been brewing recently, as for you......"

"As for me, I haven't been to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Mortal Realm yet, I'll go follow the other person and help you keep an eye on Li Yun, rest assured that I won't act rashly. Dong Xun said: "A person who was originally familiar with Li Yanxi, but now he is staying in Tian Kangbang's mansion, and he can still talk to the people in the prime minister's mansion, this person must be the key person in Li Yanxi's case, you can't care about finding the source of that power and forget about clearing Li Yanxi's grievances." ”

Jiang Ning deliberately glanced at her, and said angrily: "You still need to say it." ”

After saying that, the whole person turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared into the early morning street.

Only waited for the other party to walk for a long time, Dong Xun stomped on the ground sullenly, and said angrily: "Dead Jiang Ning!"

After a few more moments, her figure disappeared into the street, into the unfathomable mansion of the Prime Minister.

According to Li Yanxi's upright temperament, he would not have dated some people at both ends of the first rat, so that person could never be his friend, and one of the two was the imperial history of the Inspectorate before the accident, and the other looked like a housekeeper, and the previous relationship between the two was clear at a glance.

The rest, for Jiang Ning, is just to find someone who is familiar with Li Yanxi's Imperial History Mansion to confirm it.

It's not that hard to do.

Because when Li Yanxi's mother and sister were chatting, Jiang Ning had already learned that Li Yanxi's favorite food was Tian Ji Wuhua Tofu Brain in Chengnanfang City, and Gude Roast Chicken in Zhaoyangfang in the east of the city.

Of course, he could also choose to ask the mother and daughter directly, but those two were now under the protection of the Fourteenth Prince, and it was always a little bad for him to suddenly appear in the Fourteenth Prince's mansion as a prisoner.

The Fourteenth Prince's side has also been quite successful in his recent work.

It was indeed very clean before, except for the body of Li Yanxi's wife, there were almost no suspicious traces, which really gave his masters a headache for a while.

But just yesterday, his men found some evidence.

The fourteenth prince carefully looked at the purple candle in his hand, thought for a moment, and seemed to have no gain, then looked at his staff under the hall and said, "What can a purple candle that burns seventy percent mean?"

The man who loved the hall said: "The Zixi candle is made of the essence wax juice left after the compression and boiling of Zixi wax, it is a very flame-resistant candle, a Zixi candle can burn for exactly four hours, and many officials' mansions in the court are equipped with this kind of candle, you should know." ”

"I know," said the Fourteenth Prince, "but what can such a candle mean?"

The man said: "As far as I know, during the first trial, Li Yanxi once said that on the day of the crime, he and his wife had a big quarrel, and then he left his wife alone in the room, while he himself went to the study to read.

"That's right, it's "Qilin Public Opinion Examination". The Fourteenth Prince said.

The man took out a black cloth bag from his bosom, the cloth bag was half bulging, and when he opened it, the idea was black powder and dust, and he didn't know what it was for.

"What is this?" said the Fourteenth Prince.

The man didn't answer in a hurry, but put his hand into the pocket inside the cloth bag, took out two small pieces of paper, and said: "Obviously, before the trial, although those people erased some traces of outsiders' intrusion and murder, and successfully borrowed ingenious murder methods to push Li Yanxi's suspicion to the maximum, they still forgot that the evidence is not only at the scene of the crime!"

The man shook the two small pieces of paper in his hand, one large and one small, and said, " They were about the first trial, when Li Yanxi defended himself, they realized that they wanted to destroy the evidence that Li Yanxi was reading in the study that night, so they immediately sent someone to the Imperial History Mansion to destroy the evidence, but unfortunately they didn't expect that the emperor would send His Royal Highness to supervise the trial, and you went to the scene of the crime for the first time, so that the evidence they were ready to destroy was a little too hasty, and a good book, it was not confirmed that all the traces were burned to ashes, nor could all traces be eliminated in time, but were hastily buried in the flower pond in the courtyard of the Imperial History Mansion, and they didn't realize that the Zixi candle also had to be disposed of, soI found these things. ”

"Fortunately, the page number above the footer was not burned, I just went to buy a copy of "Qilin Public Opinion Examination", compared the material of the paper and the text content on the corresponding page number, you can be completely sure that these two pieces of paper that have not been completely burned are indeed the content of "Qilin Public Opinion Examination", plus the amount of Zixi candle burned, it can basically be judged that Li Yanxi did not lie, on the day of the quarrel with his wife, he stayed in the study almost all night to read this "Qilin Public Opinion Examination", and did not kill anyone!"

"However, the evidence you gave me is not sufficient," the fourteenth prince shook his head and said: "These things may also be prepared by Li Yanxi in advance in order to provide himself with an alibi, as long as he lights a candle and puts the "Qilin Public Opinion Examination" on a few cases in the study, everything will be fine." ”

The man smiled and said: "What His Highness said is not wrong at all, but His Highness forgot, if these things were simply put there by Li Yanxi to provide an alibi for himself, then, he had obviously been arrested later, why didn't these things be properly placed on the table in the study, but were burned and hastily buried in the flower pond?"

The fourteenth prince sighed and said with a smile: "It seems that there is no problem with the vision of my father and me, this Li Yanxi did not kill his own wife, but was framed by someone!"

"Exactly. "That's human.

"Then, who wants to harm him, and why do you want to harm him?" The Fourteenth Prince said: "Li Yanxi has always been low-key and humble, although he is honest and supportive, he has not pointed fingers at others because of this, and he has always had no enemies in the court, this time, who wants to harm him?"

"I don't know who wants to harm him, there will definitely not be many people who can be a pawn of Natian Kangbang, there will definitely not be many people above the court, and in the end, it will depend on Your Highness's own discernment to verify," the man said: "But who killed him, I am already a little eyebrow now!"

"Who is it?" said the Fourteenth Prince, standing up.

The man paused for a moment, and then said: "I don't know who it is, but that person must be an inner ghost hidden in the Imperial History Mansion, and if he wants to kill Li Yanxi's wife cleanly, without making too much noise, without making too much movement, and not being discovered, then it must be a man, and women are not so powerful." This person is obviously a person that Li Yanxi and Mrs. Yushi are very familiar with and trust, otherwise, even if it is in the Yushi Mansion, at night, it is expected that Mrs. Yushi will not open the door so easily!"

"That's true. The fourteenth prince said: "Even if there is a quarrel, if Li Yanxi is a good person, if he is not so angry, so disregarding the love between husband and wife for many years, and directly poisoning his wife, then he must have touched someone's interests." ”

The man in the hall thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "That Tian Kangbang is barely fair, but this time, it is clear that Li Yanxi must be put to death, then, since he is involved in this matter, then some of his interests must have been harmed by what Li Yanxi did, then, he has a small imperial history, and he is already working under the command of Tian Kangbang of the Inspectorate, what will damage the interests of this guy?"

"Could it be that he has some kind of excerpt that says bad things about Tian Kangbang?" said the Fourteenth Prince.

"No, it shouldn't be. The man shook his head and said: "Although Li Yanxi is upright, he is also soft, this kind of handing it will definitely offend the top boss to death, and there is no way to reach the heavens, he can't write, even if he doesn't want to protect himself, at least there is no need to write out his anger on his boss because of a momentary mood, and then put a small life into it, right?"

"In this way," said the Fourteenth Prince, "that is to say, when he was on the fold or doing other things, he did not realize that he would offend his immediate boss or even a higher level person by doing so, and he probably thought that he was only doing a normal job, but when the fold was handed over, disaster came!"

"If that's the case," the Fourteenth Prince said, "we might as well go to the Heavenly Prison today and ask Li Yanxi what he wrote on the excerpt?"

That's what my subordinates mean. The man in the hall laughed.

The Prime Minister's Mansion and Tian Yasumong's Zuodu Imperial Mansion seem to be very far away, but if you just draw a straight line on a plane to connect the two, you don't need to be half a street apart.

It's just that one has its back to Chang'an Avenue and the other is facing it, and if you want to get there, you need to walk through most of the street, and then walk half a street after turning the corner to get there, so it seems to be a little far.

All in all, that person is just a mortal fetus, and after walking for a long time, he finally returned to Tian Kangbang's mansion, and Jiang Ning himself can only helplessly follow behind, as there are more and more pedestrians on the street, the probability of being found to be following him is getting smaller and smaller, Jiang Ning is not too worried that he will be found again, after all, even if there is something in this world that can block his perception, it will not be so much that he can watch that person walk in front of him with mental calculation or not, and he can still be discovered by the other party。

After entering the mansion, Jiang Ning immediately became cautious, after all, it was broad daylight here, no matter how good his cultivation was, no matter how fast he was, there was always the possibility of being discovered, but he was not as comfortable as when he broke in the middle of the night.

However, cultivation is there, be careful, and it is still very easy to do it without being discovered.

Following that person all the way, Jiang Ning went up and down, first, to ensure that the guy would not leave his field of vision, and secondly, to observe what was abnormal on this Tian Kangbang Mansion.

After following the guy all the way, and when he returned to the mansion, he went straight back to his room to rest, and it wasn't long before the sound of long, rhythmic breathing could be heard.

Jiang Ning suddenly realized that this guy probably didn't fall asleep all night after seeing him last night, and he couldn't find any good way to think about it, so he had to wait until the curfew was over at dawn, and then he ran all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a panic to ask for help to find a way.

Now that I'm finally back in the house, I naturally want to get a good night's sleep.

At this time, someone happened to pass by, and Jiang Ning's body turned into a cloud of green smoke, flickering and ethereal, and he hid behind the rockery.

"That Xu Sanhui is really proud," a subordinate said indignantly: "I don't do any work in the daytime, just run back to my room and sleep!"

In addition, the first voice said: "There is a guy with a backbone in the back of his head, what do you care about him, sooner or later there will be retribution." The man paused, and then said: "I heard that back then, if Li Yanxi hadn't taken him in, he would have starved to death on the street, and now, he took the initiative to testify, saying that he saw Li Yanxi kill his wife, if it was me, even if the person was really killed by Li Yanxi, I would obediently shut up and act as if I didn't see anything!"

"What's the solution?" The previous person said: "Then Li Yanxi offended our master, this anti-bone boy sued, it can be regarded as a great help to the master, and now it is popular, you and I don't have to hide away when we see him?"

"Che makes him proud," said another, "Grace will take revenge, and one day it will be retributed!"
