A second β˜… of small β–³ said Β§ net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!

It was nearly noon, and the sun in the sky was getting brighter and brighter, shining among the vermilion lacquer columns in the streets and alleys of Shangjing, making people's heads and eyes dizzy. The carriage of the pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info Li Weiqing and his wife stopped at the Jingwang Mansion. Regardless of whether anyone was pointing fingers, the two of them entered the mansion directly under the guidance of their subordinates.

Helian Ting sat in a wooden wheelchair and said in a heavy voice: "Please forgive me for not being able to get up to greet ......"

The two looked at each other, and they both had the feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. Li Weiqing's face condensed, and said, "Why be polite, I don't know if the prince has eyebrows on this matter?"

The two were talking here, and the Yao family was directly led to Li Shuci's courtyard by his subordinates, "Ah Ci!"

"Mother, why are you here?" Li Shuci heard Yao's voice and hurriedly greeted him, "Didn't I let people go back to the mansion to inform you, so that you can stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere!"

Yao's eyes were full of worry: "If I don't come to see you, I have nowhere to put my heart! Don't talk about this, what the hell is going on? Why is Muyun's girl suddenly?" Yao's eyes turned red for a moment, "That's a good boy, she does her best for us on weekdays, who is actually eyeing her? And those unbearable rumors outside, how did they come out, it's just a big joke in the world!"

Li Shuci helped Yao to sit down, at this time she had just come back to her senses in this matter, and the person who killed Mu Yun made her feel a kind of anger in addition to her heartache! It was even more fiery than Shen Yuan and Li Shuqiao at the beginning! The woman at the Lam Soon Inn, under their deliberate inquiry, it was not difficult to find out her identity, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

She is actually Yang Yan's biological sister Yang Yan.

The last time Li Shuci saw Yang Mi was when the Confucian King chose a concubine, on the high platform of Fuling Palace, Shen Yuan was entangled with her endlessly, and was accidentally bumped into by Yang Mi. At that time, she was still Yang Miao's future sister-in-law, and Shen Yuan was Yang Miao's fiancΓ©.

She didn't know why Yang Miao was involved with the Confucian King, but with a woman's intuition, Yang Miao hated her.

"Auntie, you don't have to worry about these things, just stay in the house safely and don't go out at will. Don't worry, your daughter will be fine. The matter has been resolved, and if I need help, I will tell Daddy. Although the Li Mansion and the Jing Wangfu had already increased their manpower, and He Quan and the others had also temporarily lived in the palace, she still had a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart. They are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark.

"Okay, well, I listen to you, but you, be careful. Yao's two beauties wrinkled tightly together, very uneasy: "No matter who did it, it was for you, and the gossip that those people outside didn't know where they heard it, it's just ...... Alas, rumors can eat people!"

People's words are terrifying, and Li Shuci understands it better than anyone else. But things have to be solved little by little, and there is no urgency or chaos. "Okay, A-Niang, I know this, and you also know that this is for me, so they will attack Mu Yun, make me hurt, and make me confused. ”

Yao was even more worried, but Li Shuci couldn't help but say, "Ah Niang, do you understand what I mean? The people around me are more dangerous than me now." There are brothers, brothers and sisters-in-law at home, and you can't take it lightly!"

Sending off Yao's family, Li Shuci went to the guest house where Xiang Jiu and the others lived in the front yard, Helian Tao was coming back from outside, and the two were facing each other.

"Little Wu, are you still angry with me?"

The green pigeon took a few steps back, avoiding the two of them. Li Shuci smiled and said, "I'm not angry, it's you who are too careful." ”

Helian Tao stepped forward to take Li Shuci's hand, opened his mouth, and saw that her expression had returned to normal, and he didn't mean to break free from him, but he just heard a trace of sparseness from it: "Little Wu, whether you blame me or not, please listen to my explanation...... The king of Confucianism sent a post, I was flustered, he ...... to you Something happened to Mu Yun, I was both guilty and worried, so I messed up, Xiao Wu, can you understand me, right?"

Li Shuci looked at him, as if a thorn had been planted in his heart, he still didn't understand, the problem was not that he misunderstood her because of something, but that he should believe her no matter when. Today, because of Gu Min's matter, he was in a hurry, and he was in a mess, so he scolded him. If the person who had an accident today was Helian Ting, Helian Yu, would he have slashed her in anger?

"Well, I know. Li Shuci lowered her eyes, she can speak skillfully, but she will not argue with those close to her. The truth can be said clearly, but can the 'sincerity' be clear?

Helian Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her answer, and he only thought that she was depressed because of Mu Yun's matter, and was about to comfort a few words, Xiang Jiu greeted him from inside: "Why don't we go and catch the woman at the Nan Soon Inn directly!" Xiang Jiu was extremely indignant, he had a deep friendship with Mu Shan Mu Yun's brothers and sisters, and he was already indignant at this time.

Helian Tao said: "Since she appeared in front of us generously, she is not afraid of us making a move." Besides, we have no evidence now, and we have no clues, what can we do if we arrest her? Xiao Wu is now in the midst of rumors, and if he has another conflict with Yang Miao, it will only add to the incident, and he may be in their hands. ”

Xiang Jiu could barely control his anger. "Could it be that we just watched her swagger in front of us?"

"Of course you can't let her go easily, if she really kills Mu Yun, I will let her pay back ten times!" Li Shuci will not kill people casually, but she will not show mercy to those who must be killed. Li Shuci thought for a while and said: "She is the daughter of the Yang family, and she was sent back to her hometown after breaking off the marriage contract with Shen Yuan.

"What do you want to do so much? It's better to kill something with a knife! Let her taste Mu Yun's sin!"

Helian Tao shook his head: "What about after killing? Moreover, we have no other clues in our hands, and we still need to find the Confucian King through her. She can only breathe when she dies, and it is useless for the rest of the crisis, and maybe the Yang family will be involved. Wait a minute...... Yang Family?Yang Yan......"

Helian Tao and Li Shuci glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Jiu hurriedly asked when he saw the two of them.

Helian Tao took a deep breath: "When I was hundreds of miles outside the city, I was in deep danger, and he didn't come to save me...... He's here to kill me!"

Xiang Jiu was even more confused when he heard it: "What's the matter? Didn't he save you?"

"At that time, life was hanging by a thread, fortunately, Liu Rudao brought you to the rescue, these people are all masters, and Yang Yan appeared after this. Don't you remember?"

Xiang Jiu was also present at the time, and soon understood: "You mean to say that those killers were originally brought by Yang Yan, but he didn't expect that someone would come out halfway to reverse the situation, so he showed up and pretended to save you?"

Helian Tao's face was complicated, and he said: "After Yang Yan broke away from the affairs of the Shen family, he followed the Confucian King. I also asked him about it at the time, and he said that after the death of the eighth prince, the Yang family found that the Confucian king also had a rebellious heart, so he withdrew again. What he said was true and reasonable, and he just saved my life, so I didn't think much of it...... Now that I think about it, how could the Confucian King be so strategic, how could he let the Yang family get out easily! He was a trick and deceived me......"

Xiang Jiu stood on the spot: "Will the plan be calculate......d?" Isn't he still stationed at Storm Beach? and still in control of the garrison?"

Helian Tao was already sweating at this time: "If he really followed the Confucian King, then were they the people who colluded with Beiye at that time......?"

A chill surged up in Li Shuci's heart. When the Confucian King was about to leave from Shangjing, although the first emperor promised Jin Yao not to hurt the Confucian King's life, in order to avoid future troubles, he ordered someone to break the Confucian King's kneecap, and he was already a wasted person. And Helian Ting's murdered legs are crippled, and now it seems to be ...... It is difficult to say that it was not a retaliatory act by the Confucian king. "It's not your fault, how could you have thought of ......"

Helian Tao's brows furrowed, and he said: "These are irretrievable, the important thing is that the Confucian King has Yang Yan as an internal response, and Yang Yan controls the defenders of Storm Beach at this time, if it is...... If they make a move, the consequences will be unimaginable! When we killed several princes of Kitano and supported Prince Hongtong to sit on the throne of King Kitano, was it also expected by the King of Confucianism?"

"The Confucian King is resourceful, and it is not difficult to control Hongtong. Moreover, Yang Yan controlled the defenders...... With Prince Hongtong's personality, he is willing to live in harmony with Chongnan, but if there are external forces to intervene and persecute, I am afraid that something will happen. "Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected. What's more, Storm Beach is so far away, there are many things beyond the reach of power. Li Shuci said worriedly: "We have been away from Storm Beach for so long, I don't know how many changes have been born at this time. ”

"I'll go into the palace to meet the king!"

After Helian Tao went out, he turned around Jiutuan twice and looked at Li Shuci: "What should we do?"

"Things have to be done one by one, the enemy is clear and I am dark, and we can only see the moves. Li Shuci tried to calm his thoughts. The other party started from her because she connected the right-hand man who was loyal to the king, Jing Wangfu and Li Xiangfu. If he is ruined, he can also reflect the mediocrity of imperial power from the side. The original favor will make the subjects feel that the imperial power is not so supreme and unattainable.

Slandering the political power is one of the things that the usurper must do, but is it true that the Confucian king is still not bent on giving up? He is still so exhaustive in taking advantage of the current situation......

Li Shuci thought about it carefully, whether it was King Confucianism or Yang Yan and Yang Yan, they all had a grudge against her. There are still so many enemies of your own. She laughed to herself, "Have you found the Green Mushroom?"

When Gu Min broke into the courtyard today, he was alone, because everyone was in the shock of Mu Yun's death at that time, and no one paid attention, only to find out later that Lu Zhi had disappeared. He Quan shook his head and said, "Gu Fu and the others thought that Lu Zhi followed Gu Min to the palace, so no one paid attention to it at all, until Gu Min had an accident, and the people of Gu Mansion found that Lu Zhi had disappeared." ”

"What's the clue to where she lives?"

"The Gu family's livelihood is poor, and Lu Zhi used to live in the warm pavilion of Gu Min's room, and there were not many private belongings. Now in Gu Mansion, Lu Zhi has just had his own house, and all he can find is a few old clothes and a little broken silver, and he didn't find anything suspicious. He Quan had no clue about Li Shuci's attempt to crack the poison, and couldn't help but be distressed: "However, Lu Lian said that Gu Min didn't seem to be able to find Lu Zhi this morning, so he asked her." ”

He Quan said as he asked someone to bring the green frieze in for questioning.

The green frieze entered the room tremblingly, Li Shuci looked at her and didn't speak for a long time, the green frieze gradually sweated on her head under the gaze of many stares: "The princess, the slave really doesn't know anything...... The slave maid has been serving in the Gu family's big house, and she has to take care of the three masters on weekdays, which is very busy. I don't have much time to socialize privately with Luzhi......"

"Is it?" Li Shuci said: "As far as I know, when the Gu family was in their hometown, the place where they lived was very limited, and there were only two girls, you and Luzhi, and you should inevitably have a lot of contact on weekdays." It is precisely because you have to serve the three masters that you are very jealous and dissatisfied with Luzhi, and there are often disputes, am I right?"

"Ah...... Slave, slave maid ......" Lu Lin was very scared, I don't know how Li Shuci even knew such a trivial matter, so scared that he didn't even dare to raise his head. Li Shuci smiled: "You don't have to be afraid, it has nothing to do with me whether you have a holiday in the past, I just ask you a few words." All you have to do is tell the truth. ”

"Yes......"

"You tell me what happened today, especially about Luzhi and Gu Min. Don't miss a word, make it clear. ”

Lu Lintel stabilized his breath and said: "It's not dawn today, the slave maid went to the back alley to Yexiang, and I met Lu Zhi." It's just that I was sleepy and tired at the time, and I didn't have the heart to talk much, so I went back after I got it. Didn't notice if Luzhi was following behind. Until the mother-in-law who bought the ingredients in the back kitchen came back and said the ...... outside. Rumor ......" said this, and glanced at Li Shuci cautiously. Li Shuci didn't care and said, "You go on." ”

"Yes......" Lu Lu said: "Miss Min has heard about it somehow, she wants to wash and comb her hair but can't find Lu Zhi, she thought Lu Zhi came to find the slave maid, so she came to our girl's yard to ask the slave and maid if she saw Lu Zhi, and then, she didn't see Lu Zhi and left in a hurry." The slave maid also learned later that Miss Min had come to King Jing's Mansion when she went out. ”

There must be a master and a servant, the green frieze is somewhat similar to Gu Shao's temperament, he is a clever and not very shrewd person, Gu Shao and Gu Min are fighting secretly, and the green frieze is also jealous that Lu Zhi only serves Gu Min's master but takes the same salary as her, and he has long been resentful in his heart. At this time, I was afraid that Li Shuci would blame him, and where would he have the intention of concealing it.

"According to what you say, it's likely that Luzhi has disappeared since the time when the night incense was poured, right? Also, who have Gu Min and Luzhi been in contact with in the past few days?"

"Yes...... The slave maid was just the green mushroom she saw in the back alley when she poured the night incense. Lu Lin thought carefully for a while, "Miss Min goes out on weekdays, and Lu Zhi is inseparable. Because she came to Beijing not long ago, the rules of the Gu family are not very strict, and Miss Min often goes out to the street with Lu Zhi. However, I don't know who I have come into contact with, my girl has just gotten married, and she doesn't usually go out much. ”

"That'...... Gu Min has been out and come back in the past few days, have you bought anything?" Li Shuci frowned and asked again.

The green frieze still shook its head. Li Shuci said disappointedly: "Okay, you go back." ”

The green frieze was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something and said, "That's right." Miss Min often doesn't sleep well at night, sometimes take some soothing Chinese medicine to recuperate, originally some days ago because of family constraints did not take it, yesterday I seemed to see the kitchen decoction medicine, so I asked, the cook said that it was Miss Min. ”

"It is impossible for the poison to last so long before it hits......"

"To be cautious, let's find the pharmacy and have a look. There is also Gu Mansion, let's go and have a look. ”

Li Shuci nodded, asked Gu Min the pharmacy where he grabbed the medicine, let the green frieze go, went back to the courtyard to change into men's clothes, brought a hat to cover his face, and went to the street with Xiang Jiu and the others. The pharmacy is not difficult to find, and the words of the pharmacy owner are also expected by them, the medicine Gu Min drank is only for concentrating and replenishing qi, and it has nothing to do with the poison at all.

A few people came to the Gu Mansion again in disappointment, although the Gu Mansion was silent under the mystery of Gu Min's death, but she still didn't dare to snub Li Shuci, but she was a female guest, so she had to let Gu Shao accompany her to Gu Min's room.

After all, it is a mansion prepared by King Jing's Mansion for the Gu family, and Gu Min's room is not very elegant, but there is no shortage of what should be there. Li Shuci walked around the room twice and didn't find anything special. The only bright color in the room was a half-dried pink hibiscus on a small table under the flower window, with a few leaves scattered on the side. Next to the hibiscus flower is a candlestick with two red candles on it.

Gu Shao looked at Li Shuci's face, pointed to the candle and said half-flattering and half-speechless: "Sister Min has been a little bed-aware since she was a child, and when she first moved here, she couldn't sleep every night, and she was afraid of the dark, but she used a lot of candles, and after she came back from King Jing's Mansion last night, I came to talk to her, but Lu Zhi said that she was asleep. ”

Originally, Gu Shao heard that Gu Min had gone to Jingwangfu to congratulate her and came back, and her face was very bad, and she wanted to taunt her, but she didn't expect that the girl in Luzhi turned her away, saying that Gu Min was asleep, and she obviously avoided it.

Li Shuci thought of the scene when Gu Min came to her room last night to deliver food to the girls, and then remembered that last night was her wedding day, how could she feel that a long time had passed. "Could it be that she couldn't sleep well until yesterday, and suddenly got better yesterday?"

Gu Shao nodded and said, "Yes, the pharmacy in Shangjing is better than where in our hometown." It didn't work so well before. This time, I only took it for two days. ”

Li Shuci seemed to think of something between the lightning and flint, but he denied it again. Poison ...... No matter what, it can't change how quickly it kills people, even if it's just a little bit, it can still poison people to death within a few breaths. How did Gu Min take poison without even knowing it?

The two of them left the Gu Mansion and said to Jiu: "The other party is so clean, there are no clues left." This matter will not be concealed for long, the Gu family grew up eating tofu dregs, and their mouths are looser than tofu dregs, although they have given them three days, but at most tomorrow, this matter will inevitably not be hidden, and then the rumors will be even better, what should you do? How can you prove that you are not a murderer?"
