Chapter 95: Uninvited Guest

VIP chapter content,

Li Zheng's heart suddenly lifted, Qingge took out a portrait of a young woman from his sleeve, Li Shuci pointed to the woman painted in it and asked, "Have you seen this person?"

Everyone looked at the portrait of Li Shuci's finger, it was a woman with beautiful eyebrows and elegant eyes, Zhao looked at it carefully for a long time, and replied: "It's her...... She was the one who went to fetch the incense and candles. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You're talking nonsense!" Li Zheng scolded loudly.

Zhao's neck subconsciously shrank, and Li Shuci believed that if Li Zheng's legs were intact, he might jump up and pinch her neck at this time. Zhao hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The woman didn't lie, at that time, the lower half of this woman's face was covered with half a veil, but the woman could recognize it......"

On the portrait is Li Zheng's roommate, Yuan Shuang.

Zhou finally couldn't hold back and questioned: "That woman is half veiled, why are you so sure!"

Zhao glanced at Helian Tao, and his kneeling legs subconsciously moved to this side, away from the aggressive mother and daughter: "It is because this girl is veiled that I noticed that her forehead and eyebrows are very beautiful, and at the end of the left eyebrow, there is a faint black mole." Although it was not obvious, the woman was looking forward to Lin Hui coming to fetch the incense and candles, so she took a few extra glances at the girl...... That's when I remember it very clearly......"

Yuan Shuang on the portrait smiled faintly, with a broad forehead and two curved long eyebrows. Li Shuci unfolded his fair and slender palms to cover the lower half of the face of the person in the painting, who was originally just an elegant woman, but suddenly became unrefined because of her outstanding forehead and eyebrows, and everyone also showed such a look. Li Zheng looked at the person on the painting, his fists clenched. This painting is from him, he also thought that Yuan Shuang's forehead and eyebrows were very beautiful, it is a rare mantis head moth eyebrows, so he painted this painting, but he didn't expect it to be used as evidence of the crime......

Li Shuci asked Zhao, "Does this girl have anything to say to you?"

Zhao thought for a while and said, "The woman asked this girl why Lin Hui didn't come, she only said that Lin Hui had something to do and went back to her hometown in advance...... There's nothing left on the side. ”

Helian Tao looked at Li Zheng coldly and said, "Li Zheng, you said you didn't know about Lin Hui going to Dongcheng to buy incense and candles, but why did your girl go to pick it up later?"

Li Zheng's face changed: "Yuan Shuang has long had different intentions, and he may conspire with Lin Hui to kill me." What's more, what proof do you have to prove that the incense candles in your grandmother's room are the incense candles made by the Zhao family? If you can't come up with the proof, you will always only have such speculations, which is just a fallacy to confuse the public! "Anyway, these two people are dead! Now there is no proof of death!"

Li Shuci smiled at this time, as if she knew what he was thinking, she looked at the Zhao family, the Zhao family had already understood what these people were doing, she still couldn't believe that a person with a kind face like Lin Hui would be planning to harm people, she felt the almost coercive coldness in Li Zheng's eyes, and lowered her head in fear, her eyes were only staring at the hem of Helian Tao's clothes in front of her, and she had a strong resistance to this handsome young master with a dirty heart. She lost her husband at an early age, and she was alone with her son, and how difficult her life was can be imagined. Therefore, she is stoic and more capable, not like ordinary women in the market, who cry bitterly and are timid and afraid.

She said: "The women's family is poor, the orphans and widows are very difficult, my man left an incense candle shop, barely enough to eat, and then I came up with an idea, the big family is very particular about things, so I thought of the method of customizing the incense candle, adding spices to the incense candle, so that the candle is lit with a faint fragrance." Moreover, the customers brought their favorite spices, and I just mixed them with wax oil during the production process, and it didn't take much effort, so the candles sold better and better, and gradually spread some reputation. Although there are also other businesses that imitate it. However, some of the regular customers are still willing to come to my store, and sometimes introduce some new customers. ”

"The number of people ordering is increasing, and in order to avoid candle confusion, each batch of candles made is marked. In the bottom half of the candle, a small piece of cotton paper is tied with the date of the order and the name of the orderer...... When the candle burns there, it burns along with the wax oil, and it has no effect on the candle, so ...... If it's a candle made by me, just take a look. ”

Helian Tao said secretly: Sure enough, those who can live a life from the environment of the weak and the strong are not stupid. He set his eyes on Li Yu and said, "What does Xiangye think?"

Li Yu's face was very stiff, and he nodded in agreement.

Soon, someone took the poisoned candle that was removed that day, broke the bottom half and took the cotton thread and handed it to Zhao. Zhao's hands were very dexterous, and in a few clicks, he untied the tangled candle wick, and peeled out a piece of cotton paper the size of a mother's finger from it.

Liu Hua and Tao Shisan included the officials present...... Everyone's expressions were wonderful at this moment. The nurse and the personal maid of the eldest young master of the Li Mansion stole poisonous incense candles and put them in the old lady's room, causing the old lady to faint and faint several times...... This......

Li Shuci knew that these things were inseparable from the Zhou family, but Li Shuci wanted to keep her and let her watch her most cherished son crippled, imprisoned, and lose everything...... She melted a piece of candle on the brazier, and a few traces of wandering red in it looked very bright in the transparent wax oil, Liu Hua saw this, took the remaining spice powder in Zhao's hand and poured half of it in, and sure enough, in the wax oil, there were some red hairsprings that were the same as before.

Li Shuci looked at Li Zheng for a moment, "Big brother, what are you not satisfied with, although the eldest uncle is a concubine, but grandmother has always treated you leniently, and has never been harsh at all, why are you still dissatisfied, and you must put your grandmother to death? The person Yuan Shuang was going to kill last night should be your grandmother! Grandmother is already dying, but you can't wait! If it weren't for Yuan Shuang's unbearable heart, grandmother would still be alive!"

Li Shuci took advantage of everyone's lack of time to react and continued: "There are still ...... You must have promised your nurse Lin Hui that after doing this, you can leave Shangjing and return to your hometown with your money, right? She has watched you grow up since she was a child, and she would never have thought that you would let her get out of Shangjing alive! I think she was so full of anticipation to return to her hometown, she never worried that you would attack her. ”

"And you, after killing her mercilessly, secretly hid her. Let everyone think she's gone, until there are displaced people because of the snow, and you know that your chance has come, so you mix her up among the dead refugees, trying to hide it all from you. So when Liu Hua saw Lin Hui's corpse, her face was not even much dirty, and she was still as charming. Because, she has been frozen for nearly half a month, and she has almost become an iceman!"

"And Yuan Shuang, she has been by your side since she was a child, she has a deep affection for you, and has done all kinds of evil things for you, but you have abandoned her for the sake of a splendid future! Have you ever felt a little guilty? Even she feels that her hands are covered with blood, and her conscience is uneasy, doesn't the eldest brother have a little consciousness? For the eldest brother, women and children can be killed if they are weak, soldiers with arms and arms can be killed, and relatives can also be killed? If one day the eldest uncle and aunt, or even grandfather stand in your way, will you also kill them mercilessly?"

Li Shuci's words were reasonable, and the words were sonorous and sad and indignant, striking at everyone's hearts! Even Yu Fucheng, who was timid and afraid of things, could not help but show an angry look.

Li Zheng's face was pale, and he wanted to pounce on Li Shuci and slap Li Shuci a few times, but now, everyone's eyes were staring at him, so he didn't dare to move. In reality, he couldn't move at all. "Li Shuci, don't deceive people too much, it's impossible for me to poison and murder my grandmother!

Li Shuci twisted his head to the side and stopped talking. The two murders and the dying old lady, everything is strung together, the human and material evidence is there, Li Zheng can't tell even if he has ten mouths!

Helian Tao's right hand slammed on the handrail on the side, and he made a bang, "Li Zheng's heart can be punished! Someone is coming! Take him down to me and parade him through the streets! Then put him in the prison of Dali Temple pending trial!"

The two officials stepped forward quickly, ready to drag the crippled Li Zheng off the couch, Zhou stood aside in a daze, everything happened too fast, she couldn't believe her eyes, obviously she got it, didn't she? The old lady is finally going to die, and when Concubine Yi helps Shen straighten out, the big house gets rid of the lowly status of the concubine, and she is the serious housewife! But how could it suddenly become like this?

Li Zheng was driven by the officer's arm, his legs were limp and dragged to the ground, he wanted to struggle, but he couldn't use his strength at all. He cursed Li Shuci loudly, a slut, and the people present were shocked when they saw Li Zheng like this. He had always been a gentle and handsome man in front of people, but now he was like a madman who had lost his mind, completely revealing his true nature.

But no one present spoke up for him, if he could bear it in the prison and still have a chance to overturn the case, but the people who paraded in the streets were all vicious criminals and villains. He cannot accept such an insult, and his personality cannot allow such trampling...... Otherwise, he will live forever in the dark underground, never to be turned over......

His throat was stiff, and his hoarse voice was like a devil in hell, but the words he uttered were astonishing: "Fifth sister...... We have the same blood in our veins, and you can't just watch me die...... I'm your eldest brother, no matter how we are all family, when I was a child, I used to take you out to play and buy you a lot of novelties, have you forgotten? If something happens to me, you will feel guilty, right? You doubt me, you have to give me time, let me prove my innocence......

Li Shuci looked sideways at the sunny sky outside, as if he hadn't heard.

Li Zheng had already disgusted Li Shuci to the extreme in his heart, but he still endured it again and again: "Fifth sister, I didn't take care of the people around me, and let them take advantage of the opportunity to harm my grandmother, this matter has nothing to do with me, you have to believe me, do you feel happy when you see me die without a place to bury?"

Li Shuci never felt that revenge was a happy thing in her heart, it was a boulder as heavy as Mount Tai, and she was often overwhelmed. Her gaze finally fell on Li Zheng's face again, and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it to the adults of the Three Law Divisions, I'm just a woman, and I can't care so much." ”

Li Zheng didn't listen to what Li Shuci said at all, but kept pleading: "Fifth sister...... Maybe you resent what Qiao Er did to you, but how can you be angry with me?" Li Zheng's words were no longer logical, and even brought out Li Shuqiao, just to get out. Everyone looked at each other, guessing at each other.

Li Shuci's eyes were full of sarcasm and disdain, she knew that Li Zheng was insidious, but she didn't expect him to say such shameless words in order to survive, "Big brother...... I didn't expect you to be so outrageous!"

Li Zheng's eyes widened, and his whole body began to tremble unconsciously, and the two servants driving him next to him were defenseless, and even let him slide to the ground, "Li Shuci! You demon! I will make you suffer a lot sooner or later! I will eat your flesh and skin, and your corpse will be broken into thousands ......of pieces."

"Oh, is it? It seems that the eldest brother is really skilled in breaking up thousands of corpses......" Her eyes alternated between anger and coldness, and she sarcastically said mercilessly.

Zhou's hands in her sleeves trembled slightly, and she knelt down in front of the person with a plop and said, "My lord, I did everything." It was I who colluded with Minhui and Yuanshuang first, murdered the old lady's life, and then killed people, please let Zheng'er go. Everything is my fault, I admit all the guilt......" Zhou's face was pale, she had been careful not to let Li Zheng and her daughters get involved in the matter, but after the old lady was poisoned, she relaxed her vigilance...... At this time, it is useless to regret it, she can only bear everything to keep her children......

Li Shuci sneered: "Auntie, then how did you kill Yuan Shuang, and why did you put Yuan Shuang's body into your own son's bath bucket after breaking it up?"

Zhou was speechless, she didn't know how Yuan Shuang died, and as a mother, who would believe that she could do such a perverted thing, let alone Li Zheng's crippled legs.

Helian Tao scolded angrily: "Have you made enough trouble!

Just as Li Zheng was about to be dragged out, a man's deep voice came from outside the door, "Slow!"

In the winter morning light, the cold wind is steep. Li Shuci looked towards the door, and the other party was a man in a black robe, in his twenties, his jet-black hair was restrained by the crown of purple jade Dongsheng, and he was tied with an Oriental jewelry belt around his waist, a noble temperament that could not be concealed. It is similar to the eyebrows and eyes of the Confucian King, but it lacks the dusty aura outside the floating world, with a bit of sharpness and arrogance.

The person who came was none other than the Seventh Prince, the current Royal Highness the Prince, Jin Zheng.
